Xie Wenan's three-year term of office expired......

Outside the south gate of Songling County, several carriages lined up and waited beside the mountain road.

Xie Wenan stood on the side of the road and looked at the mountains and fields that exuded vitality in spring, and said to Meng Zhaode reluctantly: "Brother Meng, I am about to leave Songling, and everything in Songling will depend on Brother Meng in the future." ”

"Brother Xian, don't worry, Brother Fool is not talented, but Brother Fool will do his best to contribute to the prosperity of Songling."

At the beginning of this month, Xie Wen'an received an order from the ministry to return to Beijing to report on his work, and after thinking about it for a while, he wrote a letter and submitted it directly to the emperor's dragon book case through his son-in-law.

Part of what he wrote in the memo was similar to that of three years ago, that is, recommending Meng Zhaode to succeed him as the commander of Songling County.

He also bluntly said in the recital that he had participated in all of his actions in Songling County. So after he left here, he believed that no one was more qualified than Meng Zhaode for the position of Songling County Commander.

The emperor read Xie Wen'an's sincere recommendation, and after some consideration, he agreed to his request and immediately issued a letter of appointment

Meng Zhaode was also pleasantly surprised when he received the letter of appointment, he didn't expect that he would break off the idea of joining the company three years ago, and willingly followed Brother Xie Xian to Songling.

In the past three years in Pine Ridge, the two of them have advanced and retreated together, turning most of the barren mountains and wild mountains in the boundary of Pine Ridge into today's paradise.

Meng Zhaode didn't expect that Brother Xie Xian would push him onto the road of official career with his own strength, and the gratitude in his heart could not be expressed in any words.

At this time, Meng Zhaode was followed by all the officials of Songling County and the people in the city. The eyes in their eyes when they looked at Xie Wenan were also full of reluctance.

Zhou Dachong took a few steps forward and asked again: "Brother Xie Xian really can't stay?" ”

"yes!" Behind him, more than a dozen officials from the county government who were from the same background as him asked in unison.

Xie Wen'an listened to everyone's questions, and even if he was reluctant, he had to harden his heart and say: "This official is about to return to Beijing to report on his work, and the future of Songling County will count on you in the future." I believe that one day when I pass by here, Pine Ridge will be richer and more prosperous than it is today. ”

After Xie Wenan finished speaking, he asked everyone to get into the carriage.

"Master Xie, please wait."

Seeing that Lord Xie was about to get into the carriage, the people of Songling County, who had been following behind, reluctantly came over.

"Master Xie." Fuyuko relied on her dexterity and squeezed to the front with a scoop of eggs. "Master Xie, this is my mother's boiled egg, you can eat it on the way."

The people behind listened to Dongzi's words, and they all quickly gave away the things they were holding in their arms.

"Master Xie, this is a sticky cake made by my daughter-in-law, you can take it on the road to eat."

"Master Xie, this is a pancake made by my mother, you can keep it for the road to eat."

"Master Xie......."

"Master Xie......."

At this moment, the carriage that Xie Wenan was going to ride in was stuffed with a lot of food by everyone.

Yilin and Xiaoniu, who were sitting in the carriage, saw that everyone was going to put food in the carriage, so they hurriedly opened the window and said, "Everyone must not put anything in the carriage again, otherwise we will have no place to stay." ”

The people who were still holding food in their hands, seeing that the two little sons had said this, they looked at Xie Wenan with some embarrassment.

Xie Wenan saw that Yilin and Niu were talking, and he could finally use the words of his two sons as an excuse to reject everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone's intentions have been understood, but let's take these foods back!"

Xie Wenan knew that although the people in Songling County had become much richer than before in the past two years, food was always the most important thing for each family.

Everyone was about to run away after hearing Lord Xie's words, when they heard Lord Xie say by name: "Brother Shuangxi, Dongzi, we are the most familiar friendship." Look, how can we finish eating so much food? ”

Zhang Shuangxi and Dongzi were named by Lord Xie, so they had to stand there without moving, and the others also stopped.

Xie Wenan saw that everyone was looking at him, so he continued in a serious tone: "Everyone's intentions are understood by the official, but everyone should take these foods back!" ”

"Lord Xie, these foods are a little bit of our family's heart." Someone heard that Lord Xie asked them to take the food back, so they hurriedly spoke.

"Everyone's intentions are understood by the official, but everyone has also seen that we really can't finish eating so much food, and we can't waste things in vain."

Everyone was also embarrassed when they heard Lord Xie's words, because in the realm of Songling, if anyone dared to abuse food, they would have to suffer a meal at the very least.

Xie Wenan saw that everyone stopped talking, and he knew that he had spoken to everyone's hearts. So he made persistent efforts and said: "Brother Shuangxi, you and Dongzi will take the lead and bring back these foods." ”

"But~" Zhang Shuangxi and Dongzi wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say.

Xie Wen'an gave the three brothers of the Tong family and Hong San a look, and the four of them took down the baskets on the carriage and put them on the side of the road.

"Lord Xie~"

"The officials have taken it to heart, and everyone has taken these foods back and kept them for the elderly and children at home." After Xie Wen'an finished speaking, he bowed his hand to everyone again, and then turned around and got into the carriage.

"Lord Xie~"

"Lord Xie~"

"Let's all go back!"

Looking at the carriage that was gradually moving away, the eyes of those present were moist.

However, the Xie family's convoy has been heading towards the capital all the way.

The farther south the convoy went, the warmer the weather became, and Sister Wan hugged her chubby little girl and talked to Yang Cuiyun.

"I really didn't expect that we would also go to the capital one day."

"Yes! When the uncle asked us whether we would stay in Songling or go to the capital with the uncle, the husband and I said in unison that we would go to the capital with the uncle. ”

"We are the same, when my uncle asked us if we wanted to go to the capital, your cousin didn't ask me and said first, I wanted to go to the capital." Speaking of this, Yang Cuiyun smiled very contentedly and continued: "I didn't expect that I would be able to go to the capital in my life. ”

"Yes! Me too. ”

Tong Lei and Hong San, who were sitting on the wheel, heard the conversation between Yang Cuiyun and Sister Wan in the carriage, and smiled at each other. In the previous letters, Xiao Si repeatedly told them that wherever the little uncle (uncle) goes, they will go with them.

"Xiao Si said: My little uncle has been promoted this time, but I don't know how many officials it will be?"

"My analysis is at least six products."

"How did you analyze that it was above the sixth grade?"

"Cousin, don't forget, the uncle of the wind chill pill will be promoted by at least one level, plus this time when you return to Beijing to report on work, how many levels do you calculate?"

Listening to Hong San's words, Tong Lei's heart moved. "If you count it like this, my little uncle should be more than just six grades."

"I think so, otherwise Xiaosi wouldn't let us all follow Uncle to the capital." Hong San said confidently.

"This will be in the capital soon, you still have a little four, believe it or not, the little four will repair you when he hears it."

"Hehe, cousin, don't tell your cousin-in-law, or I'll be miserable." Hong San thought of Shen Qian's methods, and immediately rushed to make a move for the cousin of the Tong family.

He really didn't mean it, who made them several years of the same age, so it was easy to call his cousin-in-law's name along with the cousin of the Tong family as soon as he spoke.
