People are idle and osmanthus falls, and the night is quiet and the spring mountain is empty.

Wan Chaoyun put down the bamboo roller shutter of the car window, leaned on Wen's shoulder with a look of pride, hugged her arm, and closed his eyes.

"The osmanthus flowers are blooming just right outside, why are you not happy?" Wen probed his daughter's forehead with his hand and found nothing unusual.

"It's so fragrant, it's stuffy." Wan Chaoyun said lightly, it has been three years since he was reborn, but he can't pass the osmanthus level.

Wen thought that her daughter was too tired, so she doted on her in her arms, and then rushed outside and said, "Mama Zhou, don't be too greedy, it's time to pick the tree bald again, let's go." ”

Mama Zhou regretfully took her eyes off the tree, and reluctantly got into the carriage, she secretly swore in her heart that she must remember these two laurel trees, and wait for the flowers to bloom again in three months, and she will come again.

The carriage started again, and after driving for almost half an hour, Wan Chaoyun adjusted her mind and got up from Wen's arms, and she opened the roller shutter again, and found that the official road that was not spacious was lined with towering giant trees.

"Girl, this tree is so tall." Liu Mei sighed.

"I heard that Lannan County used to be a bandit den, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and even the trees are much taller than other places, and the first generation of Zhongyuan Uncle is the bandit leader here." Wen said.

Wan Chaoyun looked down at the men's clothes on his body, and knew in his heart, "So my mother asked me and Liu Mei to dress up as boys?" ”

"Yes, you and Liu Mei are growing up, and your father's official rank is low, I'm afraid that he won't be able to protect the two of you, so you will use your cousin's name in the future to show people, as for Liu Mei, you will be called Liu Da in the future."

Liu Mei, who has learned words from Wen for a few years, can also hear it, and when she heard this, she instantly looked at Wen pitifully, "Madam, the slave maid asks for a different name." ”

"That's it, you can get used to it when you hear it, the name is too good, but it's easy to cause trouble." Wen's final word, there is no doubt.

"Hahahaha." Wan Chaoyun swept away his depressed mood and laughed happily.

In order to get Liu Mei used to it, Wan Chaoyun called Liu Da all the way, and when the carriage arrived in Lannan County, Liu Mei found that he seemed to be really used to this name, and he was so anxious that he almost cried.

The courtyard that Wan Che personally bought before was not far from the county government, only one street away, and it was a small courtyard with two entrances.

"Master, madam, girl, the slave can be regarded as looking forward to you." Cui Luo excitedly came out of the courtyard, and immediately helped Mama Zhou and Liu Mei carry their luggage after saluting.

Seeing that she was still carrying her son, Wen said helplessly: "I'm not afraid of knocking your son." ”

"Madame, don't worry, you can't knock it, in the past, the slave maid carried him to work in the field, and went up the mountain to chop wood, you see, the skin did not fall off." Cuiluo worked neatly, so that Liu Mei had no idea where to start, and felt that he was too redundant.

Mama Zhou silently observed this lady's dowry girl, and saw that she was a head taller than herself, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her shoulders were wider than ordinary women, but her facial features were miraculously more delicate, and she could also be eye-catching.

"Wan Gui asked you to go up the mountain to chop wood?" Even if Wen is angry, although she is a big girl, she has never done rough work by her side!

"No, it's the slave who can't be idle." Cui Luo said busily, and between the words, one of the maintenance of her mother-in-law was speechless.

Wan Gui, who was moving a large amount of goods on the side, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and after his daughter-in-law maintained the old lady, her heart suddenly became beautiful, she smiled from ear to ear, and her work became more energetic.

Mama Zhou worked silently, her mind was open, and Mrs. really liked her dowry, and she had never been so spoiled when talking to herself...... I don't know if this dowry girl can cook, if she can even cook, won't she completely fall out of favor?

Wan Chaoyun looked at Mama Zhou with a bitter face and a puzzled face, and finally couldn't help it, and leaned into her ear and said, "Mama Zhou, Cuiluo's cooking is very unpalatable." ”

"Really?" Mama Zhou swears that she didn't mean to be happy!

"It's more real than pearls." Wan Chaoyun pursed his lips and laughed, "Be careful about my grandfather's eighteen bachelors." ”

With that, she stepped into her new home first.

In the future, I will live here for at least three years.

The yard is not old, it is the courtyard renovated by the previous county governor, and his term of office expired two months ago, and he was promoted and left.

After a tiring day, Wan Chaoyun fell asleep after washing, and he didn't know that the magistrate of Nan County held a reception banquet for Wan Che.

When she woke up the next day, Wan Che had already returned from a walk around the yamen, and when she got home, she sighed.

"What's wrong? Yesterday, I looked at Nazhi County very kindly, and I shouldn't embarrass you. Wen made a cup of tea for her husband and asked softly.

Wan Che took a sip of tea and said, "It's not embarrassing, but do you know what he told me today?" ”

"Say what?"

"He said that Lannan County is small and has few affairs, so he doesn't plan to set up a county again, and I will do the affairs of the county and the main book alone." After saying that, he threw the big seal of the county magistrate on the table, and continued with an unhappy face: "Then he threw all the affairs to me, madam, do you know how much tax Lannan County owes to the imperial court?" ”

"How much?"

"800,000 stones!" Wan Che trembled with anger, "Your Majesty just ascended the throne and lowered the tax again, and only paid one bucket of rice per acre of land, and he owed 800,000 stones!" ”

"That's nothing, there are three thousand backlogs! Also, as soon as I arrived at the Yamen, the inspectors, the canonical history, the medical officer, the Sangha Division, the Taoist Division, the gate official, the post minister, and even the Yin and Yang gods all came to me to ask for silver. ”

Wan Che spat and flew, and his face became more and more ugly.

"You just came, don't offend your colleagues in one go, ask you for money, and you will give it." Wen gently gave him relief.

"I don't want to embarrass them! But they embarrass me! Madam, do you know how much silver is in the account of Lannan County? He was so angry that his hands were shaking.

"How much?" Wen asked cooperatively.

"Deficit!"

Wen: "......" thought it was the overall power, but I didn't expect it to be a mess.

Wan Chaoyun couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this, which made Wan Che almost slap his shoeboard, but when he saw that it was his daughter who was laughing, he endured it and endured it, and finally held his anger back to his stomach.

"Dad, don't be angry, my daughter is just curious, why did the god stick also ask you for silver?" Wan Chaoyun hurriedly moved to his father's side, beating his back, pinching his shoulders, and serving tea and water like a sycophant.

"Hey." Wan Che let out a long sigh, "It's the Yin Yang Magician in charge of the stars, and he doesn't have any grades!" ”

"Dad, we are just a small county town, and there are no county officials, what kind of astrological officer is there?" Wan Chaoyun couldn't help but laugh again, but when he saw his father's face, his conscience found that he didn't laugh.

Wan Che snorted coldly, "I inquired clearly, the ancestor of this astrological officer is the master of the bandit leader, what do you say that you know astronomy and geography, after being recruited, he didn't enter Beijing with the four masters, and stayed in Lannan County as an astrological officer, generation after generation, and now they are all the third generation, and the successive magistrates dare not cut it." ”

"It's not just him, the few who asked me for silver are all the descendants of the little boss of Zhao'an back then!"

"Dad, I heard that there are bandits in Lannan County now, is it true?" Wan Chaoyun raised his eyebrows and asked.
