Chapter Sixty-Eight: Going South as an Official

The situation in Jiangnan has been decided, and Lu Xuan finally received the edict here, so he returned to Lu's house to inform everyone.

Hearing the news that Lu Xuan was going to go to Jiangnan, Cui's heart suddenly tightened: "Ah Xuan, have you really decided?" Jiangnan is thousands of miles away from Shengjing, and the distant mountains are in the middle of nowhere, so you are alone, is it really okay? ”

Lu Xuan knew that Cui's must be relieved of his trip, so he immediately smiled and comforted:

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'm the eldest son of our grandson, what's this experience?"

It's okay not to say this, but when he said it, Cui couldn't help but poetry in his eyes:

"What kind of eldest son, it's obviously A-Niang's petted little daughter, I knew it was like this, I shouldn't have let you suffer so much for the sake of the dispute between my concubine, I blame A-Niang."

The more Cui Shi said, the more she blamed herself, and Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel guilty, in her previous life, she was gullible in talent and was bullied by such a kind and considerate A-Niang, and she would not repeat the same mistakes in this life no matter what.

"Auntie, I'm just going to practice for a few days, and I'll be back in a while." Lu Xuan said this, as for when she would return, she really didn't dare to guarantee.

Cui naturally knew that Lu Xuan's words were just to relieve herself, but now that the holy decree had been issued, even if she was unwilling, it would be useless, so she simply didn't say more.

It was Lu Nanjun, instead of being noisy this time, but showing an unusually mature and sensible attitude.

I saw him step forward and stare at Lu Xuan, and swore that "Sister has great ambitions, so don't worry about going and showing it, A-Niang has me to take care of her, and I will definitely not let her suffer the slightest grievance." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan was deeply pleased, and then patted Lu Nanjun's shoulder: "Nanjun has grown up, and he will soon be a man in the Lu family, with you to take care of A-Niang, Sister can rest assured." ”

While the three of them were talking, the rice cake suddenly came in and reported: "Childe, Childe Rong Lie has arrived." ”

As soon as they heard that Rong Li was coming, the three of them hurriedly put away Fang Cai's tearful appearance, and Lu Xuan also hurriedly straightened his back, changed his voice, and put on a manly posture.

"Please come in, cousin." Lu Xuan motioned to the rice cake, and then she went out and pushed Rong Li in.

Sure enough, Rong Liao also heard about Lu Xuan's southward appearance as an official, so he came to inquire about it.

It's just that the style of painting is different from that of Fang Cai Cui and others, and as soon as he came up, he asked Lu Xuan if he had offended any powerful person.

This question is really incredible.

However, it is not surprising that Rong Lie thinks so, it is good to have a seven-grade job in the household department, and he is transferred from the imperial capital to a poor rural area in the south of the Yangtze River to do a county order for no reason, and no one will think it is a good thing.

Of course, Lu Xuan is a special case.

Seeing Rong Lily ask like this, not only did she not feel wronged, but she even had the heart to laugh:

"What is my cousin asking, I just feel that I have shallow qualifications and narrow knowledge, so I took the initiative to ask Ying to go out and experience the experience."

Having said that, it is also incomprehensible: "With your ability, you can't go wherever you want to go through the experience, why do you have to be in the countryside?" Didn't His Royal Highness the Fierce King force you to leave in order to avoid suspicion? ”

Thinking about it, Rong Li was also in a hurry, and he actually bluntly talked about Lu Xuan and Gu Huanli in front of Cui and Lu Nanjun.

Lu Xuan was not afraid of the shadow, and he could deny it with a smile: "My cousin is really more and more outrageous, Your Highness is above 10,000 people, why embarrass me as a lonely and unknown person?" ”

Afraid that he would lie or not, Lu Xuan deliberately added: "Your Highness didn't agree to me going at first, it was all my painstaking begging, and he just fulfilled it, so cousin don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

After Lu Xuan explained like this, Rong Lie was barely convinced, but he still couldn't rest assured of her, and in a hurry, he actually said that he wanted to go to Jiangnan with her.

Lu Xuan was surprised: "I'm going to be an official, not going into battle to kill the enemy, my cousin is too worried, besides, I'm a man, what can I do." ”

It's okay not to emphasize that he is a man, but as soon as he was reminded, the awkward energy in Rong Li's heart suddenly turned over again.

It is really indecent for a big man to follow and protect another man, and it is really indecent to spread it.

Seeing that Rong Li didn't speak, Cui Shi stepped forward: "Ah Li, the holy decree has been issued, you just let her go, this is a long way, and your legs and feet are inconvenient, so let's wait for Ah Xuan to come back at home with me." ”

Yes, it's these waste legs again, these waste legs that can't even stand, and they still expect to join in the fun.

After being silent for a while, Rong Li relented: "That's it, I'm also in a hurry, so that my cousin can laugh, since this is the case, I can only wish my cousin a smooth journey." ”

A few days later, after settling down and saying hello to the household, Lu Xuan immediately went on the road.

At that time, at the Shengjing Wharf, a purple robe looked extremely dazzling on the watchtower, and the person in the purple robe was staring intently at a certain place, without saying a word in his mouth.

Until a voice sounded next to him and asked, "Did Your Highness really let Lord Lu go like this?" It was Lin Yan's voice.

Gu Huanli's face was still as calm as water, but he couldn't help sighing: "This is what she wants, this king is just fulfilling her." ”

"But isn't Your Highness afraid that it will be difficult for Lord Lu to return to Shengjing if he goes?" Lin Wei was even more worried than the main lord this time.

Gu Huanli was not worried: "What does it matter where it is, it is always the king's, and the king will never give up." ”

The words fell, and the boatmen in the distance had already shouted several times at the ferry.

Lu Xuan deliberately sneaked out of the house early behind his family's back, but he didn't know that there were still people who squatted all night just to see him.

"Let's go." On the watchtower, Gu Huanli's voice was low and weak, as if he had lost his soul, and then turned away.

Lu Xuan was standing at the bow of the boat at this time, looking back at the beautiful scenery of Shengjing, and he was overwhelmed with emotion.

Fang had just come back from Jiangnan for the rest of his life, and he had never thought that he would leave again so soon.

"What are you still nostalgic for?" Lu Xuan was sighing to himself, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by a fleeting purple.

Her originally calm heart suddenly swelled: "Your Highness? ”

Lu Xuan was surprised, and in a trance, she seemed to see the figure she was eager to get close to but couldn't avoid.

But when her soft eyes looked at that place again, there was no longer half a figure.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a burst of loss in his heart, and then secretly laughed to himself: "It's really unclear, how could he appear here?" ”

A lonely sail went down the river, drifting away from Shengjing City in the twilight.

Lu Xuan was lying alone in the cramped cabin, his heart was always empty, and he seemed to be back to life and death in a trance.

The person who was dressed in purple and pleaded for her before the holy car, the person who was willing to risk the world's condemnation to kill the king for her, when will she be able to see it in this life.

Thoughts surged in Lu Xuan's mind with the water waves, and before she knew it, she had already been troubled to the point of falling asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already a scene of willows and flowers, green water and red bridges.

Lu Xuan got off the boat, walked all the way, inquired all the way, and did not find the so-called Yuanshan County Ya until the evening.

The county officials had already heard of Lu Xuan's arrival, and at this time, a group of officials had gathered to discuss the incoming county commander.

"Hey, have you heard? The new county magistrate in our yali is from Shengjing City, and you said that he is a good court official, what is he doing in a poor country like ours. A curious official asked casually.

I didn't expect that there were really a lot of people who knew about it.

In a blink of an eye, someone responded: "What else can it be, there must be something unsightly." ”

There were few official duties in the yali, and most of the officials were idle and panicked, and when they heard about the gossip about the new county order, they suddenly came to their senses.

"If there is anything unseemly, let's talk about it." A crowd of people gathered around this side.

The one who knew about it pretended to be mysterious and said: "I heard that the new county magistrate has a habit of breaking off the show!" ”

As soon as he said that, everyone changed color when they heard it, and some people even subconsciously reached out to hug themselves, as if they were worried that they would be poisoned by it in the next second.

"Come on, what to cover, people are good at it, His Royal Highness the famous fierce king of Shengjing City, you are so good, people can't look down on it!"

Someone joked like this, and the officials immediately burst into laughter.

Xu was so disturbed by this lawless smile that he couldn't bear it, and the man sitting inside rushed out angrily to reprimand.

"What are you doing, do you all eat white rice in the county government? One by one, they don't do their jobs, and they know how to get together and talk all day long. ”

The person who spoke was Feng Wukuan, the master of the Yamen of Yuanshan County, who was upright and conscientious and meticulous in his work.

It's probably like Chen Weizhi, but it's just a little more human than him.

Seeing Feng Wukuan appear, although the officials were a little more restrained, their nature was difficult to change, and they even informed the new county order about the show.

It's just that Feng Wukuan doesn't appreciate it, and he still looks upright.

"You guys, the new county order hasn't arrived yet, how can you talk about people like this? Beware of future contempt! ”

The master spoke bitterly, but a group of juniors did not restrain themselves at all, and even some people said wildly: "Contempt is contempt, anyway, we can't look down on a little white face with a habit of breaking off the show, do you say it, brothers!" ”

After that, there was another burst of laughter.

At this point, someone at the door came in panting with a baggage.

"May I ask if this is the county government of Yuanshan County?"

The person who came was dressed in white, with white skin and white lips, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, as fresh and handsome as mountains and flowing water.

Seeing this, the courtyard of the government office, which was still noisy, fell silent for a moment, and everyone's eyes fell on the person at the door.

It took a long time for someone to respond: "This is indeed the government of Yuanshan County, I don't know if Your Excellency is ......"

Only then did a smile finally bloom on the suspicious face: "I am Lu Xuan, the new county commander of Yuanshan County, and I will ask you for more advice in the future." ”
