"Coax me again, you still don't know ......" Halfway through his words, Xu Wenlan glanced at Bai Shengwen with a smile and didn't say any more.

The two did not get married, she said that she would not move into the back office, Bai Shengwen was implying that the marriage date of the two should be put on the agenda, otherwise who would take care of his daily life? But in fact, who of the two doesn't know that Bai Shengwen can take care of himself!

It was hard to say it in front of Bai Shengwu, Xu Wenlan could only respond with a smile: "I'll go and see it in a while, nothing else matters, the cook always has to find one, you can't come back from the front office and cook on the fire, that is really not the slightest county order shelf." ”

"It's just, it's better to have someone cook home-cooked food for me." Bai Shengwen said with a smile, and naturally hugged Bai Shengwu's shoulder: "I will go back to Tunzi tomorrow, and I will accompany my eldest brother to live in the back office for a night tonight, or the cold courtyard and cold house are really afraid of people." ”

Bai Shengwu raised his eyebrows and wanted to say something, but before the words could be spoken, he was pushed out of the room by Bai Shengwen.

Xu Wenlan pursed her lips and snickered, not pretentious.

When I went to the yamen, I made a special detour to Gaoshenglou, and directly ordered five tables of banquets, but I asked them to be sent to the front office at noon tomorrow, so that the officials and small catchers in each room could eat quickly, and even specially sent a few good dishes to the prison for the prison officials.

Even if the eldest brother is shrewd in everything, but these little things may not be imaginable, today he has dinner with the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, and he will invite the Yazhong steward to have a meal tomorrow, but these people always have to have a meal to not feel left out. Since she thought of it, she naturally had to help her.

After booking a banquet, she went to the market again, cut the meat, and happened to meet a hunter selling the rabbit she had just hunted, so naturally she came to one, and bought a new leek, tender shepherd's cabbage, and mother-in-law.

At this time, although the weather outside the gate is getting warmer, the fresh vegetables in the field have not yet come down, but these new wild vegetables are fresh and delicious.

In the past, Xu Wenlan went to the county office, but the back office went back to the head, and Bai Shengwen did not take the two of them to go through the front gate of the yamen, but went directly to the back door.

This back door was originally an old man of Lu County's family looking at the door, and now Lu County's order has moved away, and an old catcher from the front office has been temporarily transferred, looking like he is in his fifties, and people look at him without much energy, and he has been sleeping on the stool.

Bai Shengwen startled him when he spoke, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was the new county honor, and he hurriedly jumped up, his face turned pale, as if he was afraid of being scolded by the county honor.

Fortunately, Bai Shengwen just waved his hand with a smile, and entered the door with his younger brother and sister, without scolding for half a sentence.

When the three of them entered the door, they could still hear the old catcher outside panting, muttering in a low voice: "Bodhisattva bless, don't lose your errand again, if you don't hit again, you really have to go home and squat......"

Looking at each other, the three brothers and sisters all felt a little funny: this old man, behind his ears, didn't feel that he was talking loudly, and thought he was muttering quietly, but he didn't know that listening to it in other people's ears was like shouting.

Xu Wenlan blinked and whispered: "The portal is important, this gatekeeper really has to be changed." "Naturally, I have to change to a young and clever one, so as not to delay things.

How do you know that Bai Shengwen was happy when he heard it, and replied in a low voice: "It's not very good, behind the ears, you can't hear clearly; When his brain is confused and he is old, others will know that he can't help things......"

"It's not ...... to be old and can't do anything" After a pause, Xu Wenlan turned his head to look at Bai Shengwen, and suddenly understood.

The current eldest brother is a bare-bones commander, and there is no one of his own in the front and back of the office, and it is good to say in front of him, anyway, it is an office place, and he will always be vigilant, but when he returns to the back office, who wants to be stared at all day long in his own home? It's not that I love conspiracy theories, but I have to beware of these old people favoring the old chiefs.

Thinking about it this way, Xu Wenlan didn't focus on changing the porter, but looking at Bai Shengwen's eyes, he was a little pity.

It's really pitiful, if the eldest brother wants to be comfortable, he really has to build his own team quickly, not to mention the back office, even the front office, and someone has to help him, right?

At the very least, the master has to find one first, right? In these years, how can an official not have a master?

Thinking so in her heart, she naturally asked, and Bai Shengwen was happy: "There was a person who recommended a candidate in the same year, but now that gentleman has not replied, I don't know if he thinks that Guanwai is too remote, if he refuses to come, I will go to Fucheng to look for it again, I will always find a suitable candidate." ”

Xu Wenlan nodded and didn't ask any more: "The eldest brother only takes care of the official affairs of the front office, and I will handle the affairs of the back office, first with a cook, the scholar has it, and also, do you want a girl, or hire a lady to take care of the back office?" ”

didn't make a sound, Bai Shengwen's eyes looked at the girl with a melancholy taste, and only after a while did he say lightly: "Naturally, it's better to be with a lady, I don't need a girl by my side." ”

Nodding, Xu Wenlan didn't say much, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned: "Then you and the second brother will talk first, and I'll go make dinner." ”

Leave the study, turn left, and there is the stove room in the corner.

This back office is not magnificent, that is, the ordinary Guanwai courtyard, three main rooms, and two side rooms on each side, and there are three ear rooms at the back, which are for the next person to live or as a warehouse, it is not a little, but as an official residence, the back office of Heishui County is really a bit small, and the legendary official eunuch family should have a standard back garden or something, and I haven't even seen a shadow at all.

But it can be understood, it's just a county office, a seven-grade sesame petty official, and it's not bad to have such a back office. If you want to live in a big house, you will be promoted! I heard that there is a beautiful small lake in the back garden of the government office, where you can row a boat and swim in the lake in the summer, and play in the ice in the winter.

If a large family lived here, it would not be as narrow as the spacious back office of their farmhouse, but now it is a bit open to live alone with the eldest brother.

Xu Wenlan lit a fire in the stove room, boiled a pot of hot water first, and only a moment after turning it out, he had already finished shopping in the back courtyard.

Lu Zhi County moved, those large items were not moved, furniture or anything did not need to be bought, Xiao Li sent the luggage over for a while to live in, as for the other furnishings are not in a hurry, slowly arranged.

But in the study, the eldest brother's bookshelf is still empty, and the books at home are still not satisfied, she can buy more books, which are full of better looks, ah, she can also buy some novel notes, geographical atlases, these idle books, she can also read them when she has to be free......

Thinking of this, Xu Wenlan couldn't help but feel a little hot in her chest.

She is helping her eldest brother decorate, but she is not decorating a new house for herself! It's really a shame to be thinking about moving in by yourself......

Cut, what's there to be ashamed of? What if in modern times, even the decoration of a new house has to be done by yourself? What is she pretentious about now?

Thinking about it, she couldn't help laughing, Xu Wenlan raised her eyebrows and tilted her head, making sure that she did hear the laughter, but it was not her.

After a few steps, before he could stand firmly, a kite fell from the air.
