In addition to a vat of rapeseed oil, Wei Jiming took away a bag of rapeseed that Old Man Cui instructed Cui Tinglan to prepare in person.

On the second day, Keke, his grandfather, and brother-in-law went to the private house left by the former county commander. The house is in the east of the city, a kilometer away from the winery, and when he arrived at the place of the house, Keke got off the carriage first, and then reached out to help the old man Cui, and after helping the old man Cui down, Cui Tinglan jumped out of the carriage again.

As far as the eye can see, a row of high walls enclose the houses inside, but from the enclosure of the wall, it seems that it occupies a vast area, and in addition to the houses, pavilions and rockery pools should not be less. "Grandfather, uncle, it should be very big here, right?"

"It's huge! Not only are the southeast, northwest and northwest courtyards complete, but there are two pavilions, and there are many other houses with different uses, there are mountains, rivers, flowers and grasses, which can really be enjoyed! Cui Tinglan was still a little smacked when he said this, it's not that he hasn't seen a better house than this, in Beijing, which of the generals and princes is not better than this, just a small county order can build such a big and good house, it's another matter!

"Let's go, go in and have a look!" Cui Tinglan said again.

"Well, grandfather, let's go inside." Keke held Old Man Cui and said.

"Good!" Old man Cui is now enjoying his granddaughter's intimacy more and more, and sighs in his heart: Sure enough, it's still a girl! In his heart, he had chosen to ignore his daughter, and it seemed that he had never had such an intimacy with him. He also chose to forget his harsh teachings to his children and grandchildren.

Walked to the door, took out the key, and opened the large lock on the door, which had accumulated some dust. Pushing open the door, the three of them entered the house, and slowly walked on the smooth bluestone paved path, the water pavilion, the rockery pavilion, the easy green cypress is all in it, everything is still the same, everything has changed, just like Li Yu's: the carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but Zhu Yan has changed!

"Grandfather, uncle, I thought that relief alone would not last, and I thought of a way to solve their survival problems and help us." He said as he walked slowly around the house and looked at everything inside.

"Oh? What's the solution? Let's hear about it. Old man Cui said.

"As the old saying goes: it is better to give a fish than to give it a fish. Xiangge is opening more and more in the country, and the workshops in our village will definitely not be able to supply the whole country in the future, and the grapes will soon be ripe, and the wine will have to be made in large quantities. In this way, Liu Gang's elder brother's carpentry workshop needs to increase a lot of wooden boxes every day, and he has now begun to take on some furniture customization, and the winery will also be expanded, which requires people. We will select some of the available people to use it, and we can also ask them to plant the land of the family that is in poor condition, and we can pay some wages when the time comes. Keke spoke her mind. After my grandfather said this yesterday, I began to plan in my heart, charity can be done, but we can't get used to those who are lazy and lazy, giving them a chance to have a better life is more effective than relief for a while.

"It's a good method, so we just provide a place for everyone to live, not only will it not cost much, but it can also help us do things." Cui Tinglan said immediately after hearing this.

"That's a good idea." Old man Cui touched his beard and said. "But then we have to weed out those who steal chickens and dogs."

"We are not familiar with those people, we can ask Lord Wei to help see which people are available." Cui Tinglan said. Since returning from the government, his attitude towards Wei Jiming has lost his gratitude and concern for his juniors. For a pig who arches his delicate flowers, why use a good face! It's just that except for saying this to the Qing family, no one else has mentioned it.

"I'll tell my brother tomorrow." Keke said excitedly, this kind of excitement is completely a situation in which the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, so that Cui Tinglan can't bear to look at it directly, it's really a big woman!

"Tomorrow you go and invite him to your house." Old man Cui said. Old man Cui is also aware of Keke's intimacy with the Wei family, and he is also very casual when he gets along with Wei Jiming, and the old woman also mentioned the idea of the Wei family, compared with others, of course, he believes in the Wei family's personality more, and in terms of his unique birth, Wei Jiming is more capable than ordinary people to protect Keke.

"Okay." Keke replied immediately.

Half chatting, half discussing things, until noon did not leave the house.

Walking out of the house, Cui Tinglan said again: "I'll go back and arrange for someone to come over to clean up first, see what more belongings need to be made, and I will also send another housekeeper to manage here." ”

"Find a better housekeeper, and the rules are explained in advance." Keke said.

"This is natural, these people are used to being scattered, and it is not easy to find a powerful one, but it is not easy to manage," Cui Tinglan continued.

"Transfer a few people from the family to live together." Old man Cui said.

When Keke and Cui Tinglan heard Old Man Cui's thoughts, their eyes lit up instantly, why didn't they think of this, a few people in the family can play a role in cooperating with the housekeeper's management and supervision, and then there is a clear spring injected into a pool of stagnant water, so that this clear spring can slowly improve that pool of stagnant water, so that they can change and be energetic. "It's still my grandfather's thoughtfulness." Keke said.

"I'll arrange it when I get back." Cui Tinglan.

Wei Jiming came to Fengxiang Village the next day after he was busy all day long, and he would not go to the college's house until very late to deal with things in the yamen, so after half a month, he finally came back from the yamen on time, and when Keke was ready to go back to the room after going to school under the name of Du Sheng, he came back to Fengxiang Village in disguise, and said: "Keke, I want to go out tomorrow to go to the government office, and it is estimated that it will be delayed for a few days." ”

"Senior brother, what are you doing in the government? I haven't seen you report to the government before? Keke asked casually.

"I didn't go before, but it wasn't time at that time, and the new government has been in office for a while, so I should also report on my general affairs." Wei Jiming replied.

"When the senior brother comes back, bring back the beef jerky we bought in Li Ji's jerky shop last time." Keke said. After speaking, he took out three hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them to Wei Jiming, "Senior brother, buy some more." ”

"Although Senior Brother doesn't earn as much money as you make now, you still have this bit of jerky money." Wei Jiming said, rubbing Keke's head lightly.

"I'm not a layman! The senior brother has a noble character, which can be measured by money. Keke said nonsense.

Wei Jiming grinned, "It's all nonsense." ”

On the second day, Wei Jiming carried a simple cloth bag designed by Keke, carried two bags of things and tied them to the horse he rode when he went to Fucheng last time, turned over on the horse, and after riding the horse, he waved his horsewhip and ran in the direction of the palace.

After traveling for two days, after arriving in Fucheng, Ren is inn on East Street last time he went, the shopkeeper recognized Wei Jiming when he approached the door, greeted him happily, and shouted: "Wei Gongzi is here, didn't Xiao Gongzi come together?" As he spoke, he took the initiative to lead the horse in Wei Jiming's hand.

Wei Jiming listened to the words of the shopkeeper, although the second child was very enthusiastic about himself, he actually welcomed Keke more, and said secretly: No one is here, and it makes people think. I don't like her being remembered by so many people, and the smell of old vinegar wafts from Wei Jiming's body.

"He reads books at home, reads books, and returns exams for the coming year." The sour is a little sour, but I still want her to leave the best impression in everyone's hearts, so I will say one more word to explain.

"The little boy is so smart, he will definitely be able to take the first place in the exam next year, and finally come back with a top prize." The shopkeeper spared no effort to praise Keke. It's a good thing, but I really like Keke.

"Accept your good words, and book me an upper room." Wei Jiming said.

"Haole, the second room of the sky," after the shopkeeper led the horse to the door of the store, he handed the horse rope in his hand to another little brother who ran at the door, and he took off the two bags on the horse, twisted them, and walked into the house with Wei Jiming.

"Fetch me some water, I need to wash up." While following Xiao Er upstairs, he said again.

"Here it is." The shopkeeper answered. After taking Wei Jiming upstairs, he put the things in his hand in the house and went downstairs to fetch water.

After Wei Jiming came up with water from Xiao Er, after washing up and eating some things, he took out a fold in the cloth bag, looked at it again, and then put it in the cloth bag. got up and took the cloth bag that the shopkeeper helped to bring up, and then walked outside. He walked all the way to the palace and stopped and said to the official guarding the door: "Please inform your lordship, just say that Wei Jiming of Wuyi County has something important to see." ”

"Please wait a minute, the little one will go and pass it on to the adult." When the official at the door heard Wei Jiming's words, he immediately answered. Then he ran to the palace.

"Please wait a moment, Lord Wei." There were two people guarding the gate of the mansion at the door, and after the other person ran away, the other person said politely to Wei Jiming.

"Thank you!" Wei Jiming said. has been with Keke for a long time, and has invisibly been contaminated with some modern habits of being polite and polite.

"Lord Wei is too polite!" He had such treatment, and he was a little slow to react immediately, but fortunately he reacted.

Soon the official who went to pass the word ran back again, and when he arrived at the door, he stopped and said to Wei Jiming: "Lord Wei, please please come inside, our lord is already waiting for your lord in the yamen." As he spoke, he walked forward with Wei Jiming again.

Walking to the door of the yamen, Chen Xiangxian greeted him, waved his hand and said, "Go down!" ”

"Yes, sir." The official replied after receiving the light, and then left.

After the official left, there was no one else around the two, and Chen Xiangxian said in a low voice: "I hope that the Hou Ye will not blame the lower officials for being drunk from afar." ”

"Lord Chen is polite, I don't have to be a Hou Ye, I am just a county official under the rule of my lord, and I was forced to use such an identity last time." Wei Jiming said, "This time I came to report and negotiate with the adults. ”

Chen Xiangxian must also be willing for Wei Jiming to act as a county magistrate and associate with himself, so that he can ensure that no one around him will stand up and point fingers, which will affect the development of his general affairs and future promotion.
