Although Xi Hongdou had also mentioned this before, but at that time, Xi Hongdou thought that he would not return to Kyoto City so soon, and now Sister-in-law Liu also felt a little hasty, but she really thought about it, so she did not hesitate.

"Boss, I'll follow the owner." Sister-in-law Liu said, there are no relatives for her in Lihong County, Xi Hongdou does not dislike herself as a woman, she values herself, and she also wants to live a life that only relies on herself. She doesn't want to remarry, she can only support herself, Xi Hongdou is willing to give her a job to make her food and clothing, such a life can only be given to Xi Hongdou, she doesn't follow Xi Hongdou now, and she won't have another chance in the future.

Xi Hongdou smiled: "Just follow me, don't worry, my sister-in-law is going with me, I went to Kyoto City, my sister-in-law can expand a yard in the backyard of the store to live, and there is no need to worry about where to live." ”

Sister-in-law Liu nodded, she was also mentally prepared, although Xi Hongdou would take care of her, but she was going to be a helper, not a young grandmother, and she couldn't point to Xi Hongdou everywhere to buy it for her, she would also live her own life.

Xi Hongdou asked Sister-in-law Liu to prepare the salute in the past few days, although she didn't know when she would leave, but it wouldn't be delayed for too long.

Xi Hongdou ran around all afternoon, and finally settled down the things here, and in the future, he only needed to bring the account book back to Kyoto City when the caravan was transporting grain.

After returning to the Yamen, Xi Hongdou has also accumulated enough, it is really that the plan has not changed quickly, although it is a little rushed, but it is always a good thing, Xiao Zhi can return to Beijing early to take up a post at a young age, or be promoted, it is estimated that Kyoto City is already happy.

On the other hand, the news of the emperor's decree to let Xiao Zhi return to Beijing has spread, and the happiest person is Mrs. Xiao, who used to say that his son was a fighter, but now not only has fame and official positions, but also the emperor's blue eyes, who doesn't know that the son she gave birth to is the most promising!

During the lady's tea party, the wife of the Chu family looked at Mrs. Xiao so proudly, it was like soaking her heart in a vinegar vat, it was called a sour, her son was originally famous, and he also had an official position, but there was no movement until now, and he went to a bad place, and it is estimated that he will not have any credit to return to Beijing after the three-year term of office.

"That's all my son is going to do, and I don't have much hope as a mother, just be happy." Mrs. Xiao was talking coldly, which made the ladies next to her feel bitter when they heard it.

When the wife of the Yan family heard this, she said, "Your son-in-law is also a competitive. Although she said so, her son Yan Qi was the champion of this scientific expedition, but even if it was the champion, it was impossible to really ascend to the sky in one step, and he was sent to be an official, and the place where he went was not bad, but even if it was good, it would take three years to come back, and now Xiao Zhi was recalled to the palace by the holy decree It is also the first honor, and his own champion is not comparable.

Mrs. Xiao also accepted it when she saw it, so she said: "Yan Gongzi has both talent and learning, and he should be back soon, Mrs. Yan is a model for us to raise her son!" "Say a few nice words, and you won't offend Mrs. Yan.

After that, Mrs. Xiao happily returned to the house, and happened to see that Master Xiao also happened to enter the house, but the gloomy cloud on his face was very dazzling, so she asked, "Master, why are you still unhappy?" I was afraid of my son's hardships before, but now that the emperor has brought people back, are you still not happy? ”

Master Xiao shook his head: "I think this matter can't be so simple, I also know that the stinky boy is doing well in Lihong County, but Kyoto City is not saying that there is a special shortage of people, even if there is a shortage of people, you should get the son of the Yan Xiang family back, the place where Yan Gongzi went is not bad, and there is no need to occupy this talent, Lihong County has done a little bit of an eyebrow, and he will be transferred back to Beijing so soon, I always feel abnormal, if it is not as I expected, there must be more difficult errands after that." "The emperor does intend to hone Xiao Zhi, but it's hard to say whether this honing Xiao Zhi can give the emperor a satisfactory performance.

Mrs. Xiao said: "No matter how difficult it is, it is Kyoto City, it is better than in Lihong County, and your expectations for your children are not low, so it is good to be able to enter the emperor's eyes earlier." ”

Master Xiao was speechless: "You are a woman's opinion, and I can see that my son is reliable, but I have to let him take his time, it is not easy to become famous at a young age, and I am afraid that this child will be arrogant and will not be able to end it when the time comes." ”

Mrs. Xiao sighed, her son is worried if he doesn't succeed, and when his son is successful, he still has to worry, when can he put his heart down in a down-to-earth way?

Seeing that his wife was a little anxious, Master Xiao was relieved: "Everything is also after returning to Beijing, if you really say that my son has resisted, then maybe he will be able to rise to the top in the future." ”

Master Xiao also feels unreliable about the words "smooth progress", if you want to have a smooth official career in the future, you will have to work hard in the end, and anyone who can rise to the top without hard work is either a traitor or a minister.

Mrs. Xiao was relieved, anyway, it would be good for her son and daughter-in-law to come back.

On the other hand, Xiao Zhi sorted out all the files of the yamen, and when they arrived at the sixth day of the first year, all the people from the yamen came back to duty, and they were all reluctant to learn that Xiao Zhi was going back to Kyoto City.

This time, Xiao Zhi will take Zhao Huan away, Zhao Huan is knowledgeable and has good mental skills, so it is good to be a military advisor next to him. Zhao Huan had already been asked to prepare, and as soon as the new county order arrived, he would also set off after the handover.

"I'm selling my land and house these days, and even if I can't catch up, I'll be able to go to Kyoto City by myself after that." Zhao Huan said.

Xiao Zhi nodded, knowing that Zhao Huan was dragging his family with him, and it was not so easy to leave.

Zhou Kuan is really reluctant, the county master is here, Lihong County has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the people probably can't stand it after knowing the news. How many years have passed, the officials who came either died or ran, or they were in the same stream with the gentry to trap the common people, it was rare to come to such a good official, but he was going to leave again, and the emperor also knew that Xiao Zhi was good, so he let him go back early.

"These days are also thanks to everyone, I don't know what the new county order is, I just hope he can have a clear conscience for everyone and the people." Xiao Zhi said.

If you don't guess wrong, the person sent now will be selected from the Jinshi or Gongsheng who failed to send officials in previous years, but if he leaves now, the most unwilling thing is that he failed to pull Xue Ling's fox off the horse, and no one knows whether the new county order will be manipulated by Xue Ling.

The officials are also reluctant to Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi is here, and they have never defaulted on deducting their monthly salaries, and when the new county order comes, they don't know what their lives will be like.

Xiao Zhi didn't care about so much, he had done everything he had to do, and then he waited for the new county order to come before leaving.

Yuan Lu can't be here for too long, stop Liu Tiancai, Xiao Zhi doesn't want to "give gifts" at all, no matter how much he consumes, he will delay going back to his life, anyway, he is also from a household family, this bit of eyesight can't be without, but such an iron rooster is really ......

When he left, it was Xi Hongdou who sent people out, and he was also an errand in the palace, and he also gave a cloth bag, Yuan Lu looked at it, his eyes lit up, thinking that there were good things here, and it was not light to weigh the weight, but it was not easy to open in person, and he only opened it when the carriage went out of the city to take a look, and it turned out that it was a steamed cake inside.

"What kind of good thing should I be!" Yuan Lu was very disappointed when he saw that this steamed cake was not a good thing, and he pondered that the two members of the Xiao family were also a good match, they were both iron roosters!

Within two days here, the trust county order came, Xiao Zhi was about to leave as soon as the business was handed over, the new county order was named Zhao Zhuo, looking at the eloquent conversation, it was very tactful, Xiao Zhi couldn't see what depth this person was, but he was also in a hurry to set off, so he couldn't delay any longer.

Zhao Zhuo also knows about Xiao Zhi, if Xiao Zhi hadn't returned to Beijing early, he wouldn't have been able to get this vacancy, he was a jinshi three years ago, and he couldn't wait for the official to wait, if he waited until Xiao Zhi returned to Beijing after the expiration of his term, I was afraid that a new scientific examination jinshi would come, and there would be no singing by him.

Xiao Zhi told Zhao Zhuo the key points, especially the city patrol army must not return to Xue Ling's hands, but if he said so, I am afraid that people may not take it to heart, so he said: "Lord Zhao only needs to hold this city patrol army in his hands, and he can only be safe in the past three years." ”

Zhao Zhuo raised his eyebrows, didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "Lord Xiao said this...... What do you mean? ”

"Lord Zhao, have you ever heard of the county commander before this official came?" Xiao Zhi asked.

Zhao Zhuo shook his head, he was a temporary official, and then he set off in a hurry, and he didn't know much about Lihong County, he had heard that there was a serious problem of bandits here, but Xiao Zhi had a meritorious role in suppressing bandits, and he didn't meet any bandits along the way, how could he seem to hear this now, as if there was something else inside?

Xiao Zhi said directly: "Lord Zhao only needs to remember my words, the city patrol army and the city guard army can't get too close, as for the Tai Shou, although he is old, he is also in good spirits, and Lord Zhao will understand in the future." He didn't want to directly say that Xue Ling's old man was too calculating, and he reminded him that he should have been reminded, and he only hoped that after he left, this Lihong County would not fall back into Xue Ling's hands, and the people's lives would be better.

Zhao Zhuo was in a fog, but Xiao Zhi said so deliberately, and he should also be careful.

On the day of Xiao Zhi's departure, Xue Ling also came to see him off, his face was happy, and his heart was even more happy, he always wanted Xiao Zhi to disappear in front of him quickly, and all methods were used, in the end, God helped him, and the emperor directly took Xiao Zhi away with a holy decree, and this Shuobei will still be his own in the future.

Xiao Zhi looked at Xue Ling to send it, and it was estimated that Xue Ling was still proud in his heart.

"Thank you Lord Xue for taking care of me these days." Xiao Zhi said.

Xue Ling said with a smile: "It's serious. ”

Xiao Zhi said: "Let's come to Japan for a long time, even if I go back to Kyoto City, I will miss Lord Xue." Xue Ling's heart rolled when he said this, he just thought that Xiao Zhi was going to leave Shuobei, but he ignored that Xiao Zhi was promoted back to Beijing, if he became powerful in the future, would he retaliate against him?!
