Chapter 444: Little Fool
As soon as Chu Wuxian saw Xuanwu, his eyes lit up, and he fluttered his little hands and was about to pass.
However, he is only six or seven months old, and he is not very able to crawl.
Sakura put her hand at his feet, and the boy stepped on her hand, and at once pounced on the little turtle, picked it up and gnawed on it.
Xuanwu roared, and simply retracted his head and limbs into his shell, and did as he pleased.
"County Lord, the couple is here." Mu Dan walked in and reported, "Do you want to meet?"
Sakura sat up and straightened her dress, "Bring them in."
"Yes." Mu Dan went out to lead people.
After a while, two men and women came in and saluted Sakuraho: "I've seen the county lord."
Sakura asked Mu Dan and the others to go out, stood up and sat on the circle chair, and asked softly, "What's your name?"
"The slave's name is An Rou, and she was originally a palace maid of the Zichen Palace."
"In Shimotani, he was His Majesty's personal guard."
Sakura raised her eyes and looked at the two, and saw that the woman was about twenty years old, with a dignified appearance, and she was an extremely stable person at first glance.
The man was less than thirty, and his face was ordinary, and he couldn't find the master when he stood in the crowd.
"What should you do if you take people out of the palace and others find out that the King of Chu is gone?" Sakura asked.
An Rou lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty has its own arrangements, so people will not know that King Chu is no longer in the palace."
In other words, there must be a little baby in the palace as a stand-in for King Chu.
Ying Bao nodded and said to An Rou, "In the future, you will take care of Chu Wuxiao in my yard."
An Rou immediately replied, "Yes."
Ying Bao said to Gu Shun again: "You will be called Chu Shun in the future, follow the Yibin to listen to the errand, and when the King of Chu returns, you can change your surname back to your original surname."
Gu Shun clenched his fists: "Subordinates obey!"
Afterwards, the two took their seats.
An Rou followed a few palace maids to tidy up the small kitchen, while Chu Shun went to the outer courtyard to familiarize himself with the environment.
The next day, Jiang Saburo and his father and mother were going back to Qinchuan County, and Yingbao sent guards to send them back.
Chunniang took her daughter's hand and said, "Bao'er, when this place is settled, let's go back to Qinchuan County to have a look." Now our whole family lives in the county seat, and you can live there when you go back."
"Okay, I'll go back when it's cool, and I'll go to Dongchen Village by the way." Sakura stuffed a few bottles of medicine for her father and mother, and gave a few bottles to her grandfather and grandmother to take care of their health.
"Auntie, you must go back." Jiang Dali has been full of guilt for his aunt since that incident, and he doesn't know how to make up for this debt, "When you go back, I, I'll catch fish for you to eat."
Ying Bao touched his head: "Well, Dali will study hard after he goes back, and he will go to the capital in the future, and be a general like your Uncle Jiang Wutang."
Jiang Wu was appointed by the emperor to inspect the front of the palace and was responsible for protecting the emperor's safety at close range.
Jiang Dali scratched his head, "I must study hard."
"Good boy, get in the car, take care of your grandpa and grandma on the road."
"Good!" Jiang Dali boarded the carriage and turned around and waved to his aunt.
Ying Bao watched the carriage go away, then turned around and said to Wei Zhan, who was standing aside, "You go to the county government and ask them to show me the accounts of last year's tax collection."
Since Zhouhe County is hers, she must know how much tax she has paid over the years.
Not only that, but the salary accounts of the officials of the county government should also be taken and looked at, so that they know by heart.
Wei Zhan nodded and said, "Let the chief of your mansion and the account office be with me, there are some accounts that we don't know as much as them."
The county lord's mansion is also equipped with a long history, as well as two minor officials. They are both the long history of the county lord's mansion and the emperor's eyeliner.
However, this did not delay Sakura from letting them do things.
"Go and invite Song Changshi and them." Sakura Po instructed the palace people around her.
An attendant agreed and ran to find Song Changshi.
After a while, Song Changshi, who had three wisps of beard, came over and hugged his fist at Yingbao: "I don't know what the county lord is looking for?"
Sakura: "Mr. Song, you
Go to the county government with Yibin to check their accounts, and then go to Yicang to see how much grain is stored in the warehouse."
At present, the most valuable thing in Zhouhe County is food and the like, so she must figure it out.
Song Changshi clenched his fists: "Yes, Xia Guan will go here."
So, Wei Zhan took Song Changshi and his colleagues to the county office.
A few days later, Song Changshi brought the summary of the county government account book to Yingbao to see.
He said with a calm face: "The county magistrate surnamed Mei in this county, there is something wrong with the accounts they took out, the lower officials and the guests of honor went to Yicang to see it, and the grain there is not only not enough, but most of it is moldy."
"Not enough?" Ying Bao twisted his eyebrows: "Tell the county commander surnamed Mei to come to see me tomorrow."
"Yes." Song Changshi responded.
In the evening, Wei Zhan, who had a busy day, came back.
Sakura took off his coat for him, and asked the maid to bring water to wash him.
Wei Zhan said while washing his face: "There are indeed some problems in this county, most of the residents in the city are poor, I took the time to go to the surrounding villages to take a look, it is even worse there, most of the villagers are not clothed, like calling Huazi."
Sakura handed him a towel and asked, "What about the crops?" Are there any forsaken people?"
"Yes, but I don't know if it was deliberately abandoned." Wei Zhan took the towel and wiped his face, lowered his head and kissed Yingbao's head: "I'll take someone to see it tomorrow."
Sakura patted him in disgust, signaling that there was a maid next to him.
Wei Zhan didn't care, grinned, and took his wife into the inner room.
Inside the house, An Rou, who was taking care of Chu Wuxian, saw this and hurriedly retreated.
Wei Zhan bent down to tease Chu Wuxian, who was kicking his legs, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Lady, my husband's leg is about to break in the past few days, and I have cleaned up a few miscellaneous pieces that are not long-sighted, you have to treat me well."
"Okay, I'll have someone tidy up a table of good dishes for you when I get back." Sakura Bao was talking, and he was pulled into his arms unexpectedly.
Wei Zhan hugged his wife and smiled, "That's not what I want, lady, you pretend to be confused."
Sakura had no choice but to put her arms around his neck and kiss him on the lips, "Okay."
Wei Zhan grinned, and was about to kiss back, when he heard the little doll next to him start babbling.
Ying Bao looked over and saw that Xiao Wuxiao had turned over, grabbed the hem of Wei Zhan's clothes with both hands, and tried to raise his head to call at her, saliva was about to drip onto Wei Zhan's robe.
Wei Zhan twitched the corners of his mouth, quickly turned him over, picked up the little doll's own clothes and wiped his mouth, and said with a look of disgust: "Let people take him out to play."
"It's too hot outside, I've been out before." Ying Bao picked up the little doll and stuffed it into Wei Zhan's arms: "He wants you to hug it, you can hug it."
Wei Zhan was helpless, walked to the window with no harm, pointed to the persimmon tree outside and said, "Little fool, do you want to climb the tree?"
Unharmed blinked and stared at him, then wrapped her short arms around his neck, rested her head on the side of his neck, and closed her eyes.
"It's a little thing, I want to sleep." Wei Zhan patted him lightly a few times, walked around the house twice, and saw that the little doll was really asleep, so he put him on a small wooden bed and covered it with a small quilt.
Came behind his wife and gently circled Sakura, who was looking at the ledger, into his arms.
