Song Qian stood behind Bai Lu and did not sit down, he looked at the furnishings of this room, checking for possible dangers.

It's a professional habit.

Bai Lu also observed the house, but unlike Song Qian, she simply appreciated it.

This room is carved and painted, the windows are bright and clean, the mahogany furniture is dignified and elegant, and the interior is still surrounded by a faint fragrance.

Although it was daytime, the light was too dark and the lampstand was lit, and the hollow carved lampshade projected a warm yellow light, shining on the mountain view bamboo orchid placed by Bai Lu's hand.

However, a small side room, which is not the main hall that handles affairs on weekdays, has already paid attention to this point, which is enough to see how rich this government is.

"Who is the official of the government?" Bai Lu opened his mouth, and naturally asked Song Qian.

Song Qian didn't hide it, and told all his previous investigations: "Huang Hongyun, who is about to complete his term of office for three years in Guili, is about to enter Beijing to report on his work, and it is said that he is likely to be promoted from the current fourth rank to the third grade." ”

"He has a good relationship with the Zhou family?" This can actually be seen, but Bai Lu wants to know if Song Qian has mastered this news before.

It can also be regarded as a test of his intelligence-gathering ability.

"The eldest lady of the Zhou family is married to Huang Hongyun, although she is a flat wife, but the master of the Zhou family is also Huang Hongyun's father-in-law." Song Qian didn't say whether the relationship was good or not, but told Bai Lu about the objective relationship.

Such a relationship, no matter what it looks like on the inside, at least on the outside, is a grasshopper in a boat.

Bai Lu nodded and didn't speak again.

If they want to stay in Changxian Mountain all the time, they have to have a good relationship with this recent Guili, not to mention that they have to come to the door, so they won't be deliberately embarrassed in some small things.

This is also her intention to inquire about the government officials.

Obviously, Song Qian also understood what Bai Lu meant, so he said it unreservedly.

"I'm really sorry, I've kept the white girl waiting for a long time." A man in a long robe and holding a pile of papers rushed across the threshold, his tone clear and powerful.

"You know me?" Bai Lu stood up and gave him an awkward salute, and immediately grasped the point.

"Gongzi Zhou has made someone say it, and asked Miss Bai to give me the paperwork, I am in a hurry here." Master Sun put down the paperwork in his hand, walked over to Bai Lu and stretched out his hand to her.

Bai Lu took out the paperwork wrapped in blue cloth from his arms, which had not been stained with any rain.

"If there are people who want to settle down in the back, can you just come and find an adult?" She watched as Master Sun quickly flipped through the paperwork and observed his expression.

This Lord Sun looked around thirty, not old, but there were already vertical lines in the center of his eyebrows, which were obviously caused by perennial staring, and it could be seen that this person should usually be more strict and not like to laugh.

Such a person may pay great attention to things like formalities.

Master Sun didn't answer immediately, but read all the documents in his hand to confirm that there was no problem, and then said, "Naturally, just say find me at that time." ”

Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked him.

"There is no problem with these documents, but are you sure you want to settle in Changxian Mountain? There is no village in front of the village, no shops in the back, and it is not a suitable place to live. If you come to Guili, many people moved away a few days ago, and many houses happened to be vacant. "Master Sun said a few more words in Zhou Pengfei's face, but he didn't bother to care.

"We're used to living in the mountains." Bai Lu couldn't make up a better excuse, so she could only say so.

Master Sun didn't ask any more questions, took out the seal from his sleeve, called the little servant to prepare a pen and paper, wrote down the settlement certificate, and put all the people on the household registration brought by Bai Lu on the throne, and finally stamped the seal and issued a mahogany card to Bai Lu.

"It's also more convenient to get in and out of the government with a sign, and you can look for me again if you have something." After speaking, he returned the household registration to Bai Lu, "I have other things, Miss Bai still has to take care of herself." ”

He had done his duty, and he seldom did such a thing.

Bai Lu also understood that Lord Sun had treated him especially because of Zhou Pengfei, and there were no extraneous branches, so he humbly thanked Lord Sun and saw him leave.

It cost no more than a stick of incense before and after settling in this matter, which was faster than Bai Lu imagined.

"That's it?" Song Qian was also a little surprised by the high speed of efficiency, his clothes had not dried yet.

"Okay, I'll go out and have something to do, you can play by yourself." Bai Lu put away the household registration again, she still has to go out and find some more people, and strive to get together enough fifty households today, so as not to run again later.

As for Song Qian, she actually didn't want Song Qian to follow her.

Because she knew that whatever she did, Song Qian would tell Li Qingnian.

With Song Qian, it's like carrying a monitor.

Song Qian unexpectedly agreed, and did not offer to continue to follow Bai Lu.

"If necessary, the White Maiden can blow this whistle, and I will definitely appear." He handed Bai Lu a bamboo whistle, which could be regarded as an extra layer of security for her safety.

It's not that he is passive and slacking off, but he still has to go to Guo Li to see what Guo Li has found out.

What's more, this time Zhou Pengfei has already gone to bathe and change clothes, Bai Lu is acting alone, these two people are different, and he doesn't have to be in the middle.

Bai Lu raised her eyebrows and took the bamboo whistle, "Got it." ”

Song Qian nodded at Bai Lu, and followed Bai Lu out of the mansion and disappeared without a trace, looking even more anxious than Bai Lu.

Bai Lu didn't bother to care what Song Qian was going to do, and told the guards that he wanted to go out to buy something, and without informing Zhou Pengfei, he walked alone on the street with an oil-paper umbrella.

She has a wooden sign and a bamboo whistle in her hand today, and she looks like a rag.

Did the ancients like to give tokens to others so much?

Bai Lu played with the bamboo whistle and tried to find a figure in the street.

But there wasn't even a dog on the main street, only the rice shop I saw in the morning was still lonely open.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this rice?" Bai Lu stepped into the door of the rice shop, put away the oil-paper umbrella, and threw the rain on the umbrella out of the door.

But no one responded to her for a long time, she stood up straight and looked, the rice in the store was almost at the bottom, there was no one at the counter, only a piece of red paper with a black pen written on it:

Rice and noodles are free of charge.

Great philanthropist.

Bai Lu smacked her lips, walked outside the store and looked up at the store's signboard: Qiao's Rice Shop.

It's obviously a private shop, didn't you say that this is a charity hall?

Bai Lu hesitated for a while, and then walked into the rice shop.

She's ready to wait.

This rice shop naturally has his reasons for doing charity, and the fact that the rice jar is about to bottom out also shows that someone has indeed come to pick it up, and there are even silver tickets on the counter.

Although it is rare, it can be seen that some people still do not take it in vain.

Then as long as she waits here, maybe someone will come to fetch rice and noodles.

It's better than her headless flies and knocking on doors.

And soon, she really waited for the rabbit.
