After a few years of friendship, Xue Ji didn't want to treat Su Yu badly, and thought about what else he could help her.

When Su Yu heard this, his eyes were hot, the tip of his nose was sour, and he almost burst into tears. She took two steps forward and bowed to Xue Ji: "Master, you don't have to worry about this, the concubine is willing to return to Beijing with you."

"You ......" Xue Jigang opened his mouth to speak, but he was stunned and looked at her as if he didn't hear clearly. You've really figured it out?"

"I've figured it out." Su Yu said, and secretly said in his heart, if I stay in Qianzhou, I don't know how much gossip I will provoke.

Even so, Xue Ji also has one less thing to worry about, he only has to hand over everything in the family to Shen Yurong, and he only needs to deal with the outside affairs.

The holy decree did not say who would take over the prefect of Qianzhou, and Xue Ji did not have to wait for someone to hand it over, he only needed to return the official seal of the prefect, and then make it clear to the officials below.

The day before leaving, Xue Ji refused everyone's banquet and did not summon anyone individually. Since early in the morning, he has been packing boxes of things with Shen Yurong, and some of them are cumbersome and simply stay here and not take them away, when the courtyard is in a mess, there is a sound outside the door.

"Lord Xue! Lord Xue?"

Hearing this voice is the gentleman of the academy, Xue Ji was stunned, at this point, should those children still be able to make trouble, right? didn't care about the things at hand, turned his head and called Shen Yurong to take care of it, and then asked Wang Qu to open the door and lead people to the front hall.

When Xue Ji hurried to the front hall, the old gentleman had been standing for a long time, holding a folding fan in his hand, and there was a child standing beside him.

"Sir has been waiting for a long time, sir sit down." Xue Ji stepped forward to help the person sit down, and asked Wang Qu to serve tea.

The old gentleman smiled rarely: It's a good thing that adults can return to Beijing, the old man teaches in the academy all day, and he has no time to congratulate you, don't blame him.

Seeing his appearance, Xue Jixian panicked, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sir, you don't have to be like this, I won't be in Qianzhou in the future, and these children will have to bother you."

"It's not something that the old man can stabilize with a lot of effort." The smile on the old gentleman's face froze obviously, he took a sip of tea, and pushed the child next to him in front of Xue Ji. "Look at him, my lord."

Xue Ji also understood that from the time he handed over the post of prefect, it was not for him to calculate the fate of Qianzhou in the future. So he put away his thoughts and followed his words and looked at the child in front of him. "Xie Zhixi......".

The old gentleman heard Xue Ji murmur the child's name, so he continued: "My lord, you brought this child all the way back from the village, and you also paid for his education over the years. He really works hard in his studies, and he is a wise man, and now that you are gone, it will be difficult for him to do it."

To be honest, if the old gentleman hadn't brought him here today, Xue Ji really didn't remember much about it, but since Mr. mentioned it, he wouldn't really abandon this child.

"What did the gentleman say, can I still leave a child behind? I'll have someone leave you two hundred taels of silver, and the cost of his education will certainly be enough, and if he wants any more shortage, please take care of it."

I thought that this decision was exhaustive, but I didn't want Xie Zhixi to open his mouth: "If the adults leave, I won't study."

"You ......" Xue Ji was choked by his words, his face was a little more serious, and he looked at him and said, "You promised at the beginning, since you are studying, you will never give up halfway."

"I don't care, I won't read it when the adults are gone."

Xie Zhixi is already a child, Xu is a poor family, he is thin, and he is not tall, so he makes such a fuss like a child who has never been in the world.

Xue Ji frowned, how could there be a reason to read and read for him, and he wouldn't read when he left? The decree has been made, and it is not up to him to decide whether to leave or not. Thinking about it, I have some doubts, the child doesn't understand, it's just that, Mr. is not a fool, how can he bring him over?

The old gentleman noticed Xue Ji's gaze towards him, so he pulled Xie Zhixi back to his side and said, "My lord, the old man thinks ...... It's really hard to say what will happen to this place in Qianzhou in the future, if you really want this kid to be good, you might as well take him back to Beijing."

Xue Ji was obviously stunned. "Is this appropriate?"

"Since you're all

If you bring Su Huan, it won't be much trouble to bring one more, if he becomes a climate one day, then it will really give Governor Qianzhou face." The old gentleman sighed again.

Xue Ji was still hesitating, he looked down at Xie Zhixi's expression, his immature face revealed a little firmness, teaching him that he couldn't refuse.

He asked softly, "Zhixi, do your parents and elders agree?"

Before Xie Zhixi could answer, the old gentleman had already hurriedly spoke: "Waiting for you to ask, the old man has already gone to his house to ask, and the elders in his family have already agreed, and I don't know how happy I am!"

Since this is the case, Xue Ji nodded, and this matter can be regarded as agreeing.

The old gentleman has not been so happy in the past few years in Qianzhou, and his eyes have never left the child next to him, his eyes are full of hope and a trace of relief.

In the early morning of the next day, all the bags had been loaded into the carriage and horses, and Xue Ji only wore regular clothes, bid farewell to the officials and the people under the gate of Qianzhou City, and drank a cup of strong wine in front of everyone.

"Take care, sir." Ma Zhixian stood in front of the people and arched his hand towards Xue Jiyi, with a somewhat complicated expression in his eyes.

Xue Ji looked at him, this person has been playing tricks since he first saw him, but he is a smart person, and when he follows him, he knows good and evil, but if Qianzhou changes people...... Who would have guessed? The human heart is unpredictable.

"Master Ma, you are also a smart person, and there will be no more foolish things in the past."

Ma Zhixian chuckled lightly, noncommittal. "Your Excellency is still not at ease? It's time to go."

Xue Ji didn't say anything more, turned around and got into the carriage, Shen Yurong was already waiting for him in the car, and when he saw him come up, there were two more smiles on his face. Xue Ji held her hand and asked her in a low voice, "Where is Su Yu?"

Shen Yurong didn't mind at all, and said with a smile, "With Huan'er and Zhixi in the car behind."

Xue Ji didn't ask anything else, lifted the curtain slightly, and motioned for Wang Qu to set off on the road.

Then from this road to Chang'an, Xue Ji felt a little emotional, four years ago he left from the capital, all the way to Qianzhou along this road, obviously four years have passed, things are wrong, but he felt that it was just a blink of an eye.

Shen Yurong was by his side when he entered Beijing from Jiangling, and Shen Yurong was also by his side when he came to Qianzhou from the capital, and when he returned to Beijing today, Shen Yurong was still by his side.

A warm current surged in Xue Ji's heart, and the picture of the two of them entering Beijing from Jiangling suddenly appeared in his mind. He pulled the box out from under his seat, and despite the jolting of the carriage, he lifted the lid and began to rummage.

Shen Yurong was still puzzled, and after looking for him for a long time, he asked softly, "Husband, what are you looking for?"

"Jade Flute." Xue Ji stopped what he was doing and glanced sideways at her. "I chant poetry, you play the flute."

Shen Yurong was stunned for a moment, his eyes moistened in a moment, and he didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh for a while. "Okay, don't look for it, that thing has already made Chen'er fall."

"Fell?" Xue Ji didn't react, looked at the messy things in the box, and then looked at Shen Yurong, who actually showed a disappointed look like a child. "He's good enough, too."

This road has lost the elegance and interest of the year, but the old husband and wife are not concerned about this little thing, the carriage is swaying and rushing the road, and the time passes as soon as the sun rises and sets.

After about ten days' work, it was an evening in the middle of summer, and the carriage drove to about thirty miles outside the capital, and then went to the outskirts of Beijing and then to the capital, and there was no post station on the way to the capital.

Wang Qu stopped the car, lifted the corner of the curtain, and poked his head inside: "Master, do you want to rest here for the night?"

Xue Ji looked at the sky, if he continued to hurry and speed up a little, he would be able to reach the capital almost before closing the city gate. "Don't stop, hurry back to Beijing."

After saying that, he turned around and took Shen Yurong in his arms, and lowered his voice to comfort him a little: "It's hard madam."

As Xue Ji expected, he brought his family and people to the carriage to the city gate, and it happened to be half an hour before the lock was locked.

"Who's coming, but what's the matter?"

The soldiers defending the city asked familiar questions, which made Xue Ji sigh for a while.

Xue Ji only lifted the curtain a little, and he could show his face. Wang Qu

Outside, he had already handed the document issued by the official to the soldier, and asked, "How? Can you get in?"

The soldier looked at the imprints of the officials on the paperwork, and then looked at Xue Ji sitting in the car, and he didn't know if it was a dead brain scripture, but he said: "It's dark, I can't see clearly, you come out."

Although Xue Ji was a little helpless, he still got out of the carriage as he said and stood in front of him: "How? Can you recognize it this time?"

The man looked at the document and Xue Ji for a long time, and then he was almost on the time when the lock was locked, and then he said, "Come on, my lord, you are too, so late...... Go in, go in."

It was the first time Xue Ji had encountered such a temperamental soldier defending the city, and he felt a little funny, but he didn't say anything, and got into the car and asked Wang Qu to drive back to his house.

Standing in front of the familiar mansion door again, Xue Ji inevitably felt a burst of emotion in his heart, Wang Qu took the key and stepped forward to open the door, and the moment he pushed the door open, the dust rushed to his face, choking him with a cough.

Finally, when the dust had fallen, Wang Qu turned to look at Xue Ji: "Master."

Xue Ji understood, so he helped Shen Yurong get out of the carriage, and the two crossed the threshold in front of the door and walked slowly to the house, the pond in the courtyard had dried up, but the trees planted were still verdant, presumably because the heavens had favored them all these years, and the rain was just what they needed.

At this time, it was not yet time, but it was not early, Xue Ji placed the east and west wings for Su Yu and the others, and went to the familiar bedroom with Shen Yurong, but he heard movement outside the door, and he didn't know who it was.

"Wang Qu, go and see who is outside the door."
