Left in the room by Lu Xuan, Qing Pei was suddenly ashamed and annoyed, she resented Lu Xuan for repeatedly ignoring her mind, but she was even more disgusted with her own frivolous and debauched behavior.

Originally, he could still be commensurate with Lu Xuan's friend, but now that he has done this, Qing Pei regrets that he really broke off with her.

Under the chill, Qingpei had no choice but to resign himself to returning to the Zhao family.

At that time, Zhao Qingfeng had already returned to the room and fell asleep, thinking of what had happened to Fang Cai, and his heart was both angry and sad.

He always knew that he was just a tool that Qing Pei used to replace Lu Xuan, but even so, he had illusions, hoping that he could really replace Lu Xuan.

But Qingpei's words and deeds made Zhao Qingfeng completely understand that he could not replace Lu Xuan's position in Qingpei's mind no matter what.

It's just that Zhao Qingfeng and Qingpei are about to have a relationship, and if he is asked to give up the hard-won opportunity to face her day and night because of this matter, he will still be reluctant in his heart.

Thinking of this, in front of Qing Pei, Zhao Qingfeng had no choice but to turn a deaf ear to tonight's incident, but after this incident, he really didn't know how to face Lu Xuan in the future.

After tossing and turning all night, Zhao Qingfeng did not come to ask Qingpei about last night until dawn, but went straight to the county office.

"What, resignation?" Lu Xuan was surprised, Zhao Qingfeng came to him early in the morning to ask for his resignation as the head catcher.

Zhao Qingfeng's head catcher was personally promoted by Lu Xuan a few days ago, and the black gauze hat on his head was not yet hot, so how could he resign?

Lu Xuan was puzzled, but Zhao Qingfeng said that he had stayed here to accompany Qingpei at the beginning, and now that the two of them were about to get married, he also wanted to spend more time to make up for the time he had missed.

In this way, Lu Xuan could understand it, seeing that Zhao Qingfeng insisted on doing so, she had no choice but to agree to let him go.

At that time, Feng Wukuan happened to pass by, and when he saw the back of Zhao Qingfeng resolutely leaving, he immediately asked Lu Xuan: "Lord Lu has allowed Zhao Zhutou to resign?" ”

Lu Xuan nodded helplessly: "Yes, after all, I can't be strong." ”

After regretting it, Lu Xuan seemed to feel that something was wrong: "But Brother Zhao seems to be a different person today, and he looks cold when he talks to me just now." "It's like someone.

Feng Wukuan was also really aware of Zhao Qingfeng's difference, but he didn't think much about it, and only said that it was due to his family affair Cao Lao.

Although Lu Xuan is not married, she probably knows how cumbersome it is when she sees Cao Zhi's relatives on weekdays, and when she sees Feng Wukuan explain this, she doesn't mind anymore.

Three days later, Qingpei and Zhao Qingfeng got married.

Qingpei still married from the county government according to the original plan, Lu Xuan accompanied him as a "mother's family", and Feng Wukuan, as the oldest one here, naturally presided over the family affairs for the two.

Since Zhao Qingfeng and Qingpei have no relatives and friends, they are only the county officials, so the wedding banquet is not extravagant, and it is considered a ceremony to worship heaven and earth under the witness of the county officials.

At night, everyone dispersed, and Zhao Qingfeng returned to the new house according to the etiquette.

Although the wedding banquet is simple, the items that should be purchased in the new house are all available under Lu Xuan's control, and Qingpei's wedding dress is personally selected by Lu Xuan, like a fairy.

At that time, Zhao Qingfeng had a few drinks with the officials, and his mind was still a little dizzy, but fortunately he still remembered the etiquette, and then stepped forward to pick up the weighing rod.

Qing Pei was sitting on the happy quilt of the dragon and phoenix at this time, only to see Zhao Qingfeng carefully gently pull away the red hijab that covered her face.

Qing Pei was already bright and moving, at this time, he was dressed in red and wore light makeup, and his new makeup was really more beautiful than flowers, and Zhao Qingfeng couldn't take his eyes off for a long time.

It wasn't until Qing Pei took the initiative to get up and get a glass of wine on the table that Zhao Qingfeng came back to his senses, and then dealt with those complicated etiquette one by one.

At that time, seeing that Qing Pei's lips were as red as cherry blossoms when he drank with his head raised, and the skin on his neck that was unintentionally exposed was as white as frost and snow, and as smooth as jade, the feelings that had accumulated in Zhao Qingfeng's heart for a long time instantly surged up with drunkenness.

He suddenly threw the cup in his hand aside, and then pressed Qingpei under him like a hungry tiger pounced.

The faint aroma of rouge made Zhao Qingfeng's heart feel relaxed, and he kissed Qingpei's red lips with the trend.

It's just that when he got closer, he felt the other party's obvious dodge, and Zhao Qingfeng instantly sobered up, only to see Qing Pei pinning his head to the side, and there were cute tears in the corners of his eyes.

At this point, the reason in Zhao Qingfeng's heart prompted him to stop his absurd actions at this moment.

He then sat up and turned his back to Qing Pei and said, "If you still need time to prepare, I won't force it." ”

Anyway, no matter how Qing Pei responded, Zhao Qingfeng had already gotten up and fled back to the next door.

This night, it was a good day, but the newlyweds slept in separate rooms, and Zhao Qingfeng couldn't help but recall what he saw in the county government that night, and for a while he felt that he was acting like a villain taking advantage of people's danger.

Later, for a few days, Qing Pei was lukewarm to Zhao Qingfeng, although she never saw Lu Xuan again, and never even mentioned half of the things related to her.

But Zhao Qingfeng could still feel it, as if Lu Xuan had always existed in the lives of their husband and wife, reminding him that he could only be a substitute forever.

However, Zhao Qingfeng thought so, Lu Xuan was busy surveying the farming situation in his village at the moment, but he didn't have time to worry about the trivial matters between their husband and wife.

"Uncle, how is this year's harvest?" Lu Xuan was dressed in civilian clothes and visited the fields in person.

There were clearly piles of crops in front of him, but the old man who was asked didn't seem to have a happy look on his face, so he shook his head at Lu Xuan and walked to the side to do farm work.

Lu Xuan was puzzled, and then stepped forward and asked: "I see that this crop is abundant and good, isn't it a bumper harvest this year?" Why is the old man so sad? ”

Seeing that Lu Xuan insisted on asking, the old man spoke: "Young man, at first glance, he is not a child of a peasant family." ”

Lu Xuan nodded, not understanding what this had to do with whether the old man was happy or not.

The old man sighed: "A good harvest is naturally a good thing, but the more you harvest, the more distressed you will be!" ”

"Distressed? Why is that? "Lu Xuan has never heard of a farmer who will feel sorry for the harvest.

Only then did the old man lean into her ear: "I'm not afraid to tell you, we farmers, not many of the crops we have grown after a year of hard work can really reach our own hands in the end." ”

"What does the old man mean by this, the crops he planted are not in his own hands, so who else will they go?" Lu Xuan was puzzled, as far as she knew, the imperial court's taxes on peasants had always been very small.

When the old man saw Lu Xuan's good face, he told the truth that it was the village chief here who was corrupt and forced the farmers to send seventy percent of the harvest to their homes for their own enjoyment and sale.

Lu Xuan was immediately furious when he heard this: "How can this be reasonable, how dare the heads of villages and towns in broad daylight bully the people like this!" Didn't the old man ever think of reporting to the official? ”

The old man shook his head: "What's the use of reporting to the official, and he can't produce evidence, he will most likely say that everyone is voluntary, and besides, he has already reported to the government a few years ago for processing, and in the end, it is not over?" Perhaps this is the fate of poor people like us. ”

Lu Xuan didn't believe in his fate, thinking that the previous county lord was also a faint official, otherwise it would not have caused the people here to distrust the government so much.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan immediately made up his mind to investigate the matter thoroughly: "Uncle rest assured, this year's crops will definitely go to the farmers themselves. ”

The old man was stunned when he heard this: "Young man, you ......"

Seeing this, the official who followed Lu Xuan spoke: "This is the new county commander of Yuanshan County, Lord Lu Xuan. ”

The son of the old man helps at the Jiangnan wharf all the year round, and the old man has heard about the plague in Jiangnan before, but at this moment, when he heard that the person in front of him was Lu Xuan, the old man suddenly knelt on the ground excitedly.

Lu Xuan was taken aback: "Uncle, I can't help it, I can't help it." ”

Although he is respectful and orderly, in Lu Xuan's opinion, this old man in front of him is the one who should be respected by her, how can he accept such a big gift? She hurriedly leaned over to help him up.

The old man said with tears in his eyes: "Previously, Wu'er was unfortunately infected with the plague in Jiangnan, but thanks to Lord Lu and His Royal Highness the Fierce King, he was able to recover, otherwise my old man would be lonely and helpless now!" ”

Xu is old man's voice sounded a little, and he actually attracted all the people around him.

"Come and see, everyone, this is our new county magistrate, she has quelled the Jiangnan plague before, but she is a good official!" When the old man saw someone coming over, he became more and more excited, and simply called his friends to accompany him.

In addition, remembering what Lu Xuan had just said, the old man even said to a group of farmers: "Lord Lu promised to make decisions for our harvest, and our crops have been saved, folks!" ”

After a promise, everyone knelt down towards Lu Xuan when they heard the voice, she deliberately wore civilian clothes on this trip just to not attract attention, but she didn't expect that she would be more conspicuous than anyone else.

Lu Xuan was at a loss for a while, she had been forced to do her part, and there was no other way than to agree to it, anyway, her promise to this old man was not a lie.

In this way, Lu Xuan spoke: "Doing things for the people is my duty as a county magistrate, rest assured, Lu will do his best to investigate this matter thoroughly, and everyone will be fair." ”

Since he promised the villagers, this matter was like an arrow on the bow and had to be sent, Lu Xuan didn't have time to hesitate, and then returned to his house to prepare for a thorough investigation of the bold village chief.

On the way, the accompanying official suddenly felt unwell, and then said to Lu Xuan: "Lord Lu, subordinates, subordinates want to make it easier." ”

Lu Xuan nodded: "Go ahead." ”

This behavior did not cause panic among the peasants, Lu Xuan deliberately only brought one attendant, but now it is good, and he just chose one who was unwell.

But Lu Xuan can't help but make it convenient, right? Therefore, even if he was concerned about the case, he had to wait quietly.

At that time, she was in the wilderness, there was no one around, and the officials didn't know how far away.

Lu Xuan waited for a long time, and was about to turn back to look for the officer, but he was suddenly hit hard behind him, and he fainted in an instant.
