Chapter 22: Going to Yulin Village (Recommended Additions)

In the afternoon of the same day, Meng Zhen, Meng Qi and Su Shen followed Yan Zhenwu to the county office.

In the county office, a small official who Yan Zhenwu had befriended was waiting for Yan Zhenwu to bring someone to the door while flipping through the papers.

Because Yan Zhenwu had already greeted him in advance, the little official didn't talk about the fact that the head of the household was two children.

According to Meng Zhen's request, the little official gave Su Shen a separate household registration, and then Meng Zhen and Meng Qi.

Because Meng Qi is a man, he, who is only four years old, surpassed his sister and became the head of the Meng family in one fell swoop.

The newly appointed "patriarch" looked ignorant, completely unaware of how he was responsible.

Yan Zhenwu gave the little officials who helped ten taels of silver, and the little officials helped to put the household registrations of Su Shen, Meng Zhen and Meng Qi all to Yulin Village in Mujiaji Town, Ninghai County.

Yulin Village is backed by the Qianhua Mountains, and the Qingshui River at the foot of the mountain is one of the rivers with the largest water volume in Ninghai County, and this village is also close to Mujiaji Town, which is only more than 40 miles away from Ninghai County.

In addition, after the world was peaceful, all the small traders who had originally hid back in the village moved back to the town and even the county one after another, so that the village gradually vacated a few farmhouse yards for sale.

In this way, the village can be said to have fully met Meng Zhen's requirements for a place to settle.

Meng Zhen was very satisfied, and felt that the ten taels of silver she gave to the little official were simply worth it.

Before they left the county office, they didn't know whether it was on the side of the money or on Yan Zhenwu's face, and the little official told Yan Zhenwu that he would send two officials who were familiar with Yan Zhenwu tomorrow to accompany them to Yulin Village to do errands.

Yan Zhenwu was very happy, thanked the little official again and again, and finally promised to invite the little official to eat and drink together.

Although even if there was no arrangement for the little official to be in the middle, Yan Zhenwu could find a familiar official to help him run this trip, but there was still a difference between his private invitation and those officials who came by order.

If it is the other party's tolerance, then he gives some tea and silver because he can do things and understand people's feelings, but if he asks him privately, then he will not only have to pay more money, but also accept a favor from the other party.

"Uncle Yan, Ah Qi and Ah Shen will ask you." About a quarter of an hour after coming out of the county office, Meng Zhen was ready to act separately from Yan Zhenwu and them.

Yan Zhenwu bowed slightly, "Then you should be more careful yourself." ”

Meng Hao, who had already run a few steps, waved at him without looking back, then turned the corner and went directly out of the city.

She went to dig up the silver, and when she dug it up, she could use it to buy a house and land tomorrow.

Fifty taels were left to prepare for his father and mother, Su Shen's father and mother, and the rest of the silver Meng Zhen was all handed over to Yan Zhenwu with the bag.

Yan Zhenwu was not polite to Meng Zhen, and the next morning, he hired two carriages, one pulling Meng Hao, Meng Qi, and Su Shen, and the other pulling the two officials and himself, and a group of people went straight to Yulin Village lively.

Li Zheng of Yulin Village is surnamed Guo, and he is also the patriarch of the Guo family.

As soon as they arrived in Yulin Village, these two people pointed out the coachman and found Guo Lizheng well.

Guo Lizheng's name is Guo Yongfu, he is kind-hearted, fair, and a very good "village cadre".

Although his house is old, it is located in the middle of the village, and the location is excellent.

The two carriages drove slowly along the loess road in the village to the front of Guo's house, followed by a group of idlers watching the excitement and a group of children who were curious about the two carriages.

Everyone talked about it, and used their imagination to guess who it was.

Some people speculated that Meng Zhen was a relative in the town, some people guessed that they were the female relatives of merchants passing through here, and some people guessed that they were big families in the county town who came out to relax, and even more simply said that they were eight out of ten. The ninth is the new county lord who came out for a "micro-service private visit", as well as his family members and subordinates.

Seeing that the more everyone guessed, the more outrageous it became, the carriage finally stopped slowly outside the gate of Guo Lizheng's house.

The first to get off the car was Yan Zhenwu, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall body, and tight muscles, which was particularly rare and at the same time clearly revealed a bit of "I'm not easy to mess with" strong atmosphere.

Immediately after getting out of the car were the two officials, and as soon as their clothes came into everyone's sight, everyone immediately closed their mouths tightly - they didn't dare to talk casually in official clothes.

"Zhenzhen, Ah Qi, Ah Shen, get out of the car, it's time to get there." Just when the villagers were silently speculating about Yan Zhenwu's identity, Yan Zhenwu walked outside the second carriage and reached out to take the little white fat bun in Su Shen's arms.

Meng Qi's soft little body was held in Yan Zhenwu's arms, Su Shen jumped out of the carriage by himself, and then turned around to help Meng Zhen, the little girl who fell at the end and was wearing men's clothes.

Where does Meng Zhen need help?

The little girl waved her hand at Su Shen, and then jumped off the carriage with dexterity.

A group of six people entered the courtyard and walked opposite to the Lizheng mother-in-law Yang who came out after hearing the sound.

Seeing the two officials wearing "uniforms", Yang hurriedly shouted loudly in the direction of his backyard, "Old man, there are guests at home, and they are the two poor masters of the county government." ”

Guo Lizheng hurriedly dropped his hoe when he heard the sound, and rushed to the front yard at a trot.

With him came over was his only son, Guo Daqing.

Guo Daqing has studied for a few years, and Guo Li originally planned to let him participate in the imperial examination and earn fame, but unfortunately before Guo Daqing grew up to the age of being able to participate in the imperial examination, the world had become a mess.

In addition, the two county magistrates appointed by the emperor of the previous dynasty were not good things, as soon as they came to Ninghai County, these two began to bring their relatives and subordinates to harm the people, so the people of Ninghai County have been terrified and miserable for those years.

Li Zheng was afraid that his only son would encounter misfortune if he went to the county, so he kept pressing him in the village to farm honestly, not to mention the county, and even the town rarely let him go.

That is, now that the new dynasty has been established, the county and the town have become no longer chaotic under the deterrence of the new dynasty army, and Guo Lizheng is no longer desperate to press his son and not allow him to go here and there.

The two groups of people met each other in the courtyard of the Guo family, and Guo Li was greeting the two officials while instructing his mother-in-law to prepare tea and snacks.

The two officials and Guo Lizheng were already old acquaintances, and after Guo Lizheng was asked to sit down in the hall, the two pulled Yan Zhenwu out.

When Guo Lizheng heard them say that Yan Zhenwu wanted his nephews and nieces to settle down in Yulin Village, his eyes immediately shifted to Meng Zhen and the others.

Although he didn't think that these three people looked like homeless people, since the county government had already arranged people over, Guo Lizheng naturally wouldn't question anything without interest.

Not only can he not question it, but he must also do his best to settle these children.
