It was already far away from the restaurant, but Tiankuo's heart still couldn't calm down for a long time, and he sat in the carriage with a heavy face.

Siqi was also very distressed when he looked at him like this, so he took his hand, "Brother Tiankuo, don't feel bad, don't worry, now that you have come here, I believe that you, in time, you will definitely be able to make the people here live a good life again." ”

Tiankuo nodded, "My sister, I will definitely do it." ”

Before coming here, they have been prepared, knowing that this place is remote, life must not be very good, I heard that more than half of the year here is very cold, in winter, the soil in the field is all frozen, there is no way to farm, even if the people want to live a good life, that day is not enough.

At most, the food produced in the field can feed a family, and if there is a natural disaster or something, they will not be able to support themselves.

It's not that there are colder places than this place, but there is also a bad thing about this place is that there are perennial wars, adjacent to Mongolia, and there were often conflicts in the past, although there have been no major conflicts over the years, but the people here are still frightened, and the distance is too close.

The imperial court sent troops to garrison here, because they wanted to protect their families and defend the country, and they couldn't let people encroach on their land, but they really didn't care much about the people here.

On the way, they have been lifting the curtain to look at the scenery outside, it is now the height of summer, the fields by the road are planted with crops, but compared with the place in their hometown, it is not very good, and there is not much harvest in the coming year, and they don't know how the people here live.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set that I finally arrived at the place called Mengxian and went directly to the county office.

This county government is not as grand as he imagined, and it is also an office place in the end, so can it still be tattered? How can I have the appearance of a mansion, but the truth is really different from what she thought, if it weren't for a plaque hanging on it, Siqi couldn't believe that this was the county government of Lu County.

This is too tattered, even the plaque has long since faded, and there are still some cobwebs at the door, Siqi can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, but even she is a little surprised at this moment, and she can't speak with her mouth open.

There were already people waiting for them, and as soon as the carriage arrived, they greeted them with a smile.

After sitting in the carriage all the way, Siqi was so tired that his legs felt numb for a while, and he couldn't go down if he wanted to go down, so he wanted to move his muscles and bones on the carriage.

In addition, there are many people who don't know each other outside, and she is a married woman, so it is not suitable to appear in front of these people, so only Tiankuo and those guards came to him.

Siqi could also hear them talking in the car, and when he saw Tiankuo getting out of the car, those people hurriedly greeted him, and the person in front of him arched his hand and was about to kneel down immediately.

Tiankuo helped him, "You don't have to be so polite. ”

The man introduced himself and said with a smile, "The next official is Wang Dongxiang of this Lu County County, this is Wang Donglai, the chief bookkeeper of Lu County, who has seen Master Gu." ”

Siqi heard these words clearly even in the car, and was as surprised as Tiankuo at this time, they never thought that the two people in tattered clothes in front of them turned out to be officials in this Lu County, what kind of poverty is this place.

Siqi's eyes widened at this moment, she couldn't believe it at all, she put down the curtain, and felt very uncomfortable.

Zhou Hao and Zhou Xing whispered, "Girl, our place was quite poor in the past, it seems that this place is even poorer than our hometown, and the people outside are still officials, and they are wearing such clothes." "Zero-One Reading Network

Siqi nodded, "Who said it wasn't, before I came, I thought that this place was not rich, but I never thought that it would be like this." ”

She lifted the curtain a little more and continued to listen to them.

There are so many things outside, you can't stand here all the time and say, after the introduction, Na Wang Xiancheng pointed to the road next to him, and said with a smile, "The little one will take Lord Gu to the house, just behind here, our house has not been repaired for many years, and the house may not be very comfortable to live in, so Lord Gu can only settle for more, and then see if he can get the money to live first, and repair this house first." ”

Tiankuo said, "It's okay, as long as it can live in people, and the rest can be done slowly." ”

Nawang Xiancheng said again, "Don't worry, although it is a little shabby, but the residents must be fine, the kang in the house is also very warm, and you and your family will definitely not be frozen in winter." ”

Tiankuo followed him and walked behind the county office, and the coachman drove the carriage to follow their footsteps.

In fact, the county government and the county magistrate's mansion are connected together, just behind, and the doors are open to both sides.

When I went around to the back, I saw a tattered plaque that said Liu Fu, which is estimated to be where the previous magistrate lived.

The county Cheng said, "Lord Gu, this place was bought by the county government from the local squire, and the mansion of the county magistrate was in this county government in the past, and it was only a few years ago that I bought this courtyard, which is connected together, which is quite convenient." ”

When they arrived at the place, Siqi and the others were able to get out of the car, Tiankuo turned around, helped Siqi out of the carriage, and sat all the way, Siqi's ass was unconscious, standing on the ground and only felt that he was very numb, and stomped on the spot before following them inside.

Although this mansion is a little old, it can be seen that it has been cleaned seriously, and it is not the same as the county government just now.

Wang Xiancheng opened the door and led them in, and when Siqi saw the courtyard here, he couldn't help frowning.

This is said to mean that the mansion of the county is not as good as the courtyard of his own house? The yard was very desolate, and there were two trees planted, and they were dying, and it was the height of summer, but there were not a few leaves on them.

The door frames and window lattices are also dilapidated, and they have not been inhabited for a long time.

This house is also the same as the ones they saw on the road, it is connected by caves, not common courtyard houses, but what I just saw on the road are ordinary houses, not very big, at most two caves are connected together, which is more.

It's a little dilapidated, and counting them one by one, there are quite a lot of houses.

Siqi thinks this place is not very good, but it is quite fresh, and I haven't lived in it before.

Zhou Hao Zhou Xing is the same as her, where have they ever seen such a building, they are already too curious at this time.

After explaining what they were doing everywhere, Wang Dongxiang said, "Master Gu, we are poor here, there are no good things, you just came here tonight, I have arranged the food, and I will send it to the house in a while, you have a good rest first." ”
