After staying overnight in Su County, Li Mingren and his party continued to Youzhou City. Fucheng is two days away from Su County, and I don't know if I slept too much a few days ago, but Zhao Yunlan was in good spirits and had a good appetite when she was on the road in the past two days.

"It's time to Youzhou City." Lee felt like he had seen the light of day.

"Let's go to the post station first, if we can stay, we will stay." Zhao Yunlan proposed, after all, when you first arrive, everything is still according to the rules, and it is always right to keep a low profile.

Li Mingren nodded, and asked He Wen to rush to the post station.

Fortunately, the post station in Youzhou is still like that, although it is not as thoughtful as the inn service, but it is not as dilapidated as the previous Suzhou post station.

"Sure enough, it has to be a mansion city, this post station can still live in people, so let's live here." Zhao Yunlan whispered to Li Mingren.

Li Mingren nodded, handed over his appointment documents, and Yicheng arranged accommodation for Li Mingren.

"I'll change my clothes and report to the government, and you eat first." Li Mingren said to Zhao Yunlan as he walked.

Zhao Yunlan: "Okay, you can bring two pieces of dim sum and eat them on the way." ”

As soon as Li Mingren's family entered the city gate, the government got the news. At this moment, the prefect Zheng is working in the government office, and he has been grabbing his hair and is anxious.

"Xiaguan Li Mingren pays a visit to the prefect." Li Mingren saluted.

Zheng Shaohong raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him, this is the rich son that Lao Zhou said, this is a rich man who is widowed, he doesn't even have accessories, and he lives in a post station when he enters the city? Besides, the document issued by the ministry said that Li Mingren was from Lijia Village, that is, a peasant child with no power, no power and no wealth.

"Well, it's been a hard journey." Zheng Shaohong said slowly.

Only then did Li Mingren raise his head and look at the prefect in front of him, whose hair was a little messy.

"It's not hard, Lord Zheng has to take the time to meet me every day, and I will ask you to mention more in the future."

Zheng Shaohong: "Eh, it's also important to meet you, after all, when you come to Youzhou City, you always have to come to the government to report to the official." ”

"Yes."

"Let's stay for a light meal for a while, I've already sent someone to invite my family." In fact, when the people around me heard this, they went out to invite someone.

Li Mingren was respectful: "Yes, thank you for your hospitality." ”

After a while, Zhao Yunlan had already changed her clothes and came over, and when the guards around Governor Zheng came to the post station, Zhao Yunlan had just freshened up and was ready to eat. When someone came to express their intentions, Zhao Yunlan immediately asked Chunxiang to prepare some special products to bring with them.

Originally, the two of them planned to send a copy to Governor Zheng's Mansion when they left Youzhou, but now that Shangguan has invited him first, Zhao Yunlan is not rude.

Zhao Yunlan was taken to the backyard of the mansion, and she didn't see Li Mingren, she just looked at a lady sitting in front of her, presumably the prefect's wife, and a little girl was next to her. Zhao Yunlan stepped forward and saluted generously: "The Zhao family has seen Gongren. ”

The little girl also got up and saluted: "I've seen Zhao Ruren." ”

The prefect's wife, Kong Yuzhen, said with a smile: "Come and sit, today is a small gathering, let's talk casually, don't be so restrained." After that, he stepped forward and took Zhao Yunlan's hand and sat down.

"Thank you very much."

Kong Yuzhen said: "Hey, call me Sister Kong, let's not talk about those false etiquette today, this is my eldest sister, beautiful." ”

Zhao Yunlan smiled shyly and said, "Yes, Sister Kong, Xiuli is indeed as famous as her name." ”

Zheng Xiuli smiled shyly and sat down with the two elders.

"Haha, let's have dinner too, they probably have already drunk it over there." Kong Yuzhen looked at the men's seat and said.

"There are only these dishes in the north, Sister Zhao, you can taste them, it is estimated that you are not used to eating them, and you have to get used to them for a while."

Zhao Yunlan: "I don't pick what to eat, the chef in my sister's house has good cooking skills, which suits my appetite very well." ”

The meal ended in such non-stop compliments, Zhao Yunlan felt that this was the day when she said the most after coming here, and she didn't know why this prefect's wife was so enthusiastic.

"This is a specialty brought from my hometown, and I hope that people will not dislike it." Before leaving, Zhao Yunlan asked Chunxiang to take out the things, which should have been delivered as soon as she came, but she didn't expect to be pulled to eat as soon as she arrived at the place, and she didn't even see Li Mingren's face.

"Hey, I said I was just having a light meal today." Kong Yuzhen said helplessly.

Zhao Yunlan: "This is just some home-made things, it's not worth it, Sister Kong and Xiuli can use it, and there are some of their own food, you don't dislike it, this is a farmer's local product." ”

"Where did the farmer's local goods come from, the food we eat is all grown by everyone's hard work, and my sister is not right."

Zhao Yunlan nodded again and again: "Yes, I was wrong." ”

Kong Yuzhen couldn't help but smile when she saw Zhao Yunlan admit her mistake so quickly: "Okay, I'll take these things." ”

Zhao Yunlan felt that her shoulders could relax when she came out of the backyard, and when she arrived at the door of the mansion, she saw Li Mingren, who was already waiting outside.

"I'm so sleepy~" This was Zhao Yunlan's first sentence when she saw Li Mingren, with a slightly coquettish tone.

"Get in the carriage, let's go back and rest." Li Mingren helped Zhao Yunlan into the carriage and left the mansion.

In the palace, Zheng Shaohong looked at the pile of salutes and asked, "What's there?" ”

Kong Yuzhen: "What kind of food they make at home, what smoked duck, pepper sauce, I let the kitchen take it and hang it." Here are soaps and soaps, which were sold very hot in Jinzhou City before, and they couldn't be grabbed. A while ago, it also began to be sold in the capital, and it is said that it has also launched customized models, and I see that these should be customized models. She said that they made it from their family, and it seems that the soap came from her family......"

Zheng Shaohong didn't care about these soaps, but fell into deep thought after hearing the pepper sauce. There are already peppers in the north, and occasionally some peppers are put in the cooking at home. Before Li Mingren came, Zheng Shaohong had already inquired, and Li Mingren's inner family was the one who planted this pepper, but the credit fell in the end.

"What do you think?" Kong Yuzhen tugged at Zheng Shaohong's sleeve.

Zheng Shaohong came back to his senses at this time: "No, I just wondered if this Li Mingren could ...... Let's freshen up and go to bed. ”

Kong Yuzhen rolled her eyes in her heart, she hated people who spoke half the most, so she picked up a few pieces of soap and went to her daughters' yard.

The prefect's family has two daughters, the eldest daughter is Zheng Xiuli, thirteen, it is the cardamom years, and I have already seen Zhao Yunlan today. The youngest daughter, Zheng Xiurong, seven years old, has been infected with wind and cold in the past few days, and she has not come out to see guests today.

Zhao Yunlan here, returned to the post station, washed her face, and went to bed. Li Mingren brought hot water to wash Zhao Yunlan's feet, and helped Yunlan untie her clothes, and Zhao Yunlan fell asleep under Li Mingren's gentle service.

Li Mingren couldn't help but smile when he heard the snoring coming.
