Chapter 398: I Like to Eat Soft Rice
It's only been four years, and he has been promoted from the six-grade county order to the three-grade minister's department, a proper winner in life.
When the honor guard in the palace left, Xia Qiu repeatedly looked through the holy decree and treasure book, but still couldn't come to his senses, "Lord Lu, why did I become the county lord?" ”
Lu Tingxiu teased her, "Second grade county lord, even I am not as big as you, isn't it?" ”
"But I didn't do anything, I felt hot and uneasy." Although the county lord is only a title, he is also a knighthood, and he also rewarded her with a big mansion.
Lu Tingxiu is familiar with the capital, just by looking at the address of the house, he knows that it is a luxurious mansion, and he can't buy that kind of house if he has money.
"If it weren't for you, the puppets would have been flooded long ago, and the plague in River County would not be so easy to control. When attacking the Liang King, you organized grain merchants to transport grain to the front line, which is a great achievement. Lu Tingxiu asked her to accept it with peace of mind, "Without your help, I don't know what this world will become." It's all deserved, just keep it with peace of mind. ”
He didn't praise it, she didn't know that she was so powerful.
However, she is still a little weak-hearted, except for Lord Lu, the great hero of Hexian County's plague control is none other than the old man, how can she not have a false heart to take credit.
"You don't care whose credit it is, the emperor said it was yours, and that was yours." Lu Tingxiu teased: "What's more, Senior Tu is nominally your stepfather, my father-in-law, and he won't introduce you to receive merit." ”
That sounds so awkward. But he wasn't wrong, the cheap stepfather had never taken any of that seriously.
Xia Qiu stared at Lu Ting for a while, and suddenly said, "Lord Lu, did you ask for me?" ”
Lu Tingxiu didn't deny it, "Xia Chubby, this is what you deserve." ”
He did this so that she could be on an equal footing with him in terms of class, right? With this title, no one dared to bully her after entering Beijing, and even the Lu family did not dare to look down on her easily.
Besides, the emperor didn't give her gold, silver and jewelry, but gave her a mansion, isn't this just a clear way to let her come out alone, not to see the face of her in-laws.
God, that's too sweet.
Xia Qiu understood Lu Ting's good intentions, and his eyes suddenly became wet when he hugged him, "Lord Lu, you are so good to me, how can I repay you." ”
Lu Tingxiu pinched her face, "It's not difficult, just let you repay me for the rest of your life." ”
Xia Qiu kissed him twice, "Not only in this life, but in the next life, I will also pester you in the next life." ”
After the intimacy, Xia Qiu pondered the title again, "I am the county lord, so what are you?" ”
"County horses."
"Poof......" Xia Qiu couldn't help but laugh: "Then the county horse has to live with me in the imperial mansion?" ”
"Of course." Lu Tingxiu hugged her from behind and gently bit her ear, "I like to eat soft rice, you have to support me wherever you go." ”
That's no problem, she's used to making money to support him. One day, he will raise her, and he is really not used to it.
After four years of hard work without taking leave, it was just time to take a leave together, Lu Tingxiu was not in a hurry to return to Beijing, but waited for the arrival of the new prefect and returned to Beijing.
Lu Tingxiu is very popular with the people, and when he learned that he was going to be transferred back to Beijing, the people regretted it, and at the same time hoped that the new prefect would also be a good official for the people.
It's also funny to say, those indigenous families who have been fighting with him for more than two years are reluctant to feel sorry for each other when they learn that he is leaving. After all, when he was in office, there were no more fights and bloodsheds between the various families, and they lived in peace, and each of them was recuperated.
Xia Qiu yearns for the outside, but she is quite reluctant to be at home, especially when A-Niang will give birth in a few months.
There is not much time left, and I don't know when the new prefect will take office, but his own business is definitely not as good as before.
Her county lord is just an empty title, she doesn't even have a fief, and it costs money to go anywhere in the capital. After thinking about it again, Xia and Autumn sold the business that Wu Ze was not good at, leaving only the grain shop and the medical hall, and as for the land and the like, it was not too late to dispose of it when he gained a firm foothold in the capital.
Jin was reluctant to give up his daughter, and with great mood swings during pregnancy, he became crying again.
The so-called good shade under the big tree, if the capital is good for business, then you can pick them up and come to Beijing.
The new prefect was transferred from other states and counties, and he was already half a hundred years old, and he was very experienced as an official, and Lu Tingxiu quickly completed the handover.
Before leaving, he also held a farewell banquet for Lu Tingxiu.
Xia Qiu was willing to use the elderly, and the subordinates of the family were also willing to follow him to Beijing, so Xia Qiu brought them with him.
On the day of leaving, the Jin family had a big belly, Wu Ze and the Lin family each held their babies and sent them out of the city for five miles before returning.
Xia Qiu grew so big, and when she left her family for the first time, the loss in her heart was incomparable.
I don't know how many chances we will see each other again in the future.
I had plenty of time, took care of two carriages, and slowly walked to the capital while playing.
Wei Ge grows up fast, he is already a young man who is almost seventeen, he looks a little silly when he doesn't speak, but he looks handsome.
Qiao Biwei also became slim from a fat baby, and she will be fourteen in two months, and she will be ready for marriage by this time next year.
In the past few years, she has often wandered outside, but no matter how much she flies, she will come back every two months or so.
The two of them are standing together, a pretty boy and a beautiful girl, but they are a good match.
When I returned to the capital, I had to pass through Lin County, and when the carriage and horse stopped at the post, Xu Mingliang came to greet him.
After more than two years of being a county minister, Xu Mingliang is not only mature and stable, but also has no quick temper.
In his position, he sought his government, and in front of a large group of people, the edges and corners were smoothed out.
In the evening, it was Boss Lei who received the wind and washed the dust, and set up a banquet in Tianbao Building. Knowing that Xia Qiu was coming, Boss Zhang and his wife came over to toast and held two milk dolls.
After taking the medicine of the old man, Mrs. Zhang gave birth to two children in succession, and finally got out of the haze of losing her son.
During the banquet, Xia Qiu knew that Xu Mingliang had continued the strings and was a good girl who had fallen into the Qinglou. The two looked at each other, and he didn't dislike the girl's background, and came back directly.
Xia Qiu glanced at him, "You hid deep enough that you won't tell me when you get married?" ”
Xu Mingliang punished himself with three cups, "Lord Lu has every opportunity, Sister Xia, you are busy with business, how dare I disturb." ”
said that he didn't dare to bother, most likely because the woman's identity was not suitable for big operations.
Xia Qiu didn't say anything more, and gave him a red envelope.
Xu Mingliang was flattered, "Thank you, Sister Xia." ”
The Lu Mansion is still there, but it looks a little old after more than two years. The house is empty and easy to break, and Xia Qiu plans to sell it. Xu Mingliang is a knowledgeable master, and without saying a word, he stuffed Xia Qiu with a sum of silver, "Sister Xia, my house is not spacious, and I just want to change places." ”
It's all her own family, Xia Qiu returned two silver tickets to him, "the ...... of this house back then" was still Hua Ting's money, and she only paid more than 100 taels.
was about to leave, and Xia Qiu found out that he was a nostalgic person.
Lu Tingxiu played with Boss Lei, and in the summer and autumn, he went out of the city to offer incense to Wu Yu and Wu Hong, swept the tomb of Hua Ting, and went to the top of the mountain to worship the original owner and his family.
Linxian is the place where she was born and raised, and it also evokes a lot of sadness in summer and autumn, and the scene of four years ago seems to be still yesterday, but it has gone away with the wind.
After leaving Linxian, her mood became depressed and she was dizzy in the carriage. As if infected with the wind plug, she rested in the carriage and had no appetite for food.
Perhaps it was the discomfort of the long journey, Lu Tingxiu thoughtfully asked the coachman to slow down. Stop-and-go, let her get out of the car from time to time to take a breath.
Qiao Biwei saw that she was vomiting again, and said curiously: "Sister, don't you have it too?" "Aunt Jin is like this when she is happy, she vomits so much.
She thought, oh, I'm afraid I don't have this luck in my life.
