The road is not particularly far, but the speed is very slow, and it took two days for Ning He to return to Ying'an County with a large number of people.

But that's not all.

After sending the two families to their respective houses, Ning He came to the county office again, took the detailed text written in advance by Wenyuan, who returned first, and left his name and seal it with Wenyuan, and then he had to go to Jing'an County.

As soon as the officials of Daqin took up their posts in various localities, the letters of appointment issued from Beijing were issued directly to all localities from top to bottom.

After the official goes to work, the identity certificate of the document and the road guide is checked clearly, and it is necessary to go to the superior chief official to pay a visit, and then check and confirm the identity again, and then return to Beijing step by step, and the results of the verification with the official offices at all levels are kept in the register, and the matter is finished.

Second, the corpses and armor of the bandits he brought back, mainly the latter, cannot be kept privately in the county, and they need to be sent to verify the authenticity, reward and punishment, etc., and there is also a set of procedures to go.

Ning He took a trip to Jing'an County and did the two things together.

Fortunately, there were no twists and turns, everything went smoothly, and it only took six days to make a round trip.

"It's stuffy."

By the time he returned to Ying'an City, Gongye Ziyi had already rented a house and lived near the county office.

Leaving her here alone for a few days, Ning He was also very reluctant to go, went to the county office to say hello to Wenyuan, and found Gongye Ziyi to talk to her.

"How dare you, you are all busy people!"

Gongye Ziyi didn't raise his eyes or open his eyes, lying on the recliner in the small courtyard, puffing up.

Her resentment has not been a day or two, it can be said that since Ning He and Qin Yu both went to the Zhenbei Army, and Master Yan Xia was gone, she has been accumulating.

The playmates who have been together since childhood, suddenly it is difficult to have a letter for three or two months, and the closest master is even more unable to find anyone.

She and her family still have those beautiful little jasper families in Beining City, and they don't want to go together, all day long, full of depression, and no one can nag and nag.

It's only been a few days, and the calf in front of her is gone, and she is not familiar with her and throws her here, so it's no wonder that she is not angry.

"Hey, it's like a stingy drum, it's kind of fun." Ning He poked her bulging cheeks lightly, without heart or lungs.

"Get out!" Gongye Ziyi suddenly jumped up and kicked people, full of anger.

"Don't mess with you, come with me first." Ning He dodged and dodged, grabbed the person, let her stubbornly struggle twice, and still took the person out of the yard.

Then I took him, passed by the county government, crossed the crossroads, went to the northwest city of Ying'an, entered an alley, and stopped in front of a small courtyard about ten zhang long and wide.

"What are you doing here?" Gongye Ziyi asked angrily.

Ning He smiled, didn't care, pushed the door and walked her in, "I kept the one you rented, this one for you, quiet and safer, to the south is the house of He Lan's family, and to the east is the house of the family, there are many little ladies in their family, and there are a few like you, frizzy and fun-loving, if you want to come and talk, you can come and go more often in the future." ”

When he came back from Lan Village and sent his two families home, he happened to see this small courtyard for sale, so he bought it.

This small courtyard is not big, but there are big mansions on the front and back, left and right, like the two of He Lan's family and the Cheng family, it is a big building complex, this small courtyard is sandwiched in the middle, it is inevitable that it is a little embarrassing and uncomfortable.

But for him, it is just right, with these two families as neighbors, Gongye Ziyi can live in it, he can rest assured, and he can also find some companions for her.

Otherwise, although he won't be too busy, he can't be away from the government office all day, and after all, he has passed the age of the crown and the crown, he doesn't care, and he is not young after all, and it is impossible to stick together all day.

"Don't!" Gongye Ziyi was in the airway, and he turned around and was about to leave.

"Let's take a look first." Ning He could only stop people and coax them into the courtyard.

This small courtyard is an acre of land, the middle half of the acre is planted with some flowers and plants, a small pergola is placed, a wooden table and wooden chairs are placed, the remaining half an acre is a patio, the ground is paved with stones, three main houses under the four, two ear rooms, two box rooms on the left and right, there is an inverted door room after the side open small door, although the sparrow is small, the five organs are complete.

Moreover, the original owner's house has also been decorated and decorated, the house is also exquisite and spacious, the furniture is also very elegant, and the materials are also strong, all of which were bought by Ning He.

"When my uncle had an accident, I was still in Beilu, and Jing Ming couldn't get out, let alone go back to Beining City, so I didn't help you. When we meet again, you are like a little crazy woman, I can only take Mr. Mu to avoid it first, and I can't go to Shangzhu incense, and now you can't go back to keep filial piety, so I made my own decision and found someone to make a tablet and put it here. ”

Pushing people into the main hall in the middle of the main house, Gongye Ziyi's father's tablet and offerings have been placed properly, and Gongye Ziyi's eyes suddenly turned red.

Rubbing his head, Ning He said softly: "I'm sorry, Yinnu, the second brother has only taken care of himself in the past few years, and he hasn't taken care of you, and he won't be in the future." ”

"Second brother!"

All the sadness, grievances and dissatisfaction turned into tears and flowed down, and Gongye Ziyi, who no longer shouted at the big stupid cat, threw herself into Ning He's arms and cried into tears.

But someone just took it seriously, comforted him for a while, and then said again: "The big white face is crying ugly......"

"Big silly cat!" Gongye Ziyi, who had already cried enough, heard this, how could she stop, the female roared, took out a powder box, and slapped it on Ning He's face.

When he landed, Ning He seemed to be stuck in a pile of noodles, his face was snow-white.

"Day by day, there is no shape!" Ning He snorted annoyedly, "I'll give incense to my uncle first, and I'll take you to buy things." ”

Gongye Ziyi didn't make trouble anymore when he heard this, honestly put on incense, knelt in front of his father's tablet for a while, and muttered a bunch of words in a low voice before coming out of the hall with Ning He.

"For the sake of your dedication, I won't bother with you."

Waiting for Ning He to clean the fat powder on his face, Gongye Ziyi got up from the wooden chair in the courtyard, slipped to the front again, and spread his hands, "But you actually secretly hid money, not authentic." ”

"Let's go, can I really give it all to you?" Ning He stretched out his hand to pull her away and snorted softly.

"Humph! If you don't give it, you won't give it, as if your aunt and grandmother are rare. Gongye Ziyi sneered, and went out first, "Hurry up, let the others go first, hire a cook to come back first." ”

"Okay." Ning He responded, seeing her stubbornly leading the way in front of her, fast and slow, secretly feeling funny, and she was not in a hurry to follow.

But the two of them, who walked and gradually walked side by side, still went side by side to the tooth line.

The steward of the tooth shop hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "The little one has seen the county lieutenant, and I don't know what the adults have to say." ”

Ning He was surprised: "You know me? ”

The steward of the tooth shop smiled and bowed, "How dare you not know it!" When the adults first arrived in Ying'an, they were alone to suppress the bandits, it was difficult to have a combined enemy, the autumn wind swept away the leaves, and the bandits were killed without leaving a piece of armor, and now we Ying'an are all praised and respected, which does not say that we Ying'an came to a big hero. Today, I have the honor to do things for the adults, and the little ones can go back and brag to others. ”

Ning He was also laughing when he heard this, and at the same time, he was full of joy, so he smiled and said, "You can speak, but I love to hear this." ”

Then he said: "The housemate wants to find a cook who can cook northland food, whether she has a clean net worth, quick hands and feet, and a responsible person." ”

"Yes, yes!" The manager of the dental store nodded hurriedly, and then said: "The sister-in-law of the Liu family in the south of the city, who has been widowed for many years, has no heirs, and has to support her in-laws. Her husband's family was also from the Northland, and after three generations of the past, she did not forget the local accent, and she also learned the first-hand Northland meal method, the person is clean and neat, and she is used to not talking much. ”

Ning He looked at Gongye Ziyi, "See? ”

Gongye Ziyi nodded and said, "I only need one meal a day at night to be prepared, but I don't care if I live there or not." ”

Seeing that he didn't explain it, the manager of the dental store patted his mouth, and then said: "The old couple of the Liu family have not survived the winter, and they have already left in the New Year, and the sister-in-law of the Liu family is alone now." A few days ago, the main family also came to look for her, but the sister-in-law of the Liu family was also very concerned about being dismissed before, so she didn't go. ”

"Get someone to take a look, if it's okay, then she'll be it." Ning He said directly.

Gongye Ziyi has no opinion, but the left and right have to look at the eye-to-eye, after all, even if they settle down in Ying'an in the future, the servants are all permanent employees, and they get along day and night, and they always have to look at each other well.

The ordinary woman of about 1356 or so, dressed plainly but neatly and cleanly, has no outstanding places, and is not annoying, and her speech and demeanor are neat and moderate, but she is a good candidate.

Ning He and the two glanced at each other, and they made a decision directly, and under the repeated refusal of the manager of the dental store, they still gave the commission normally, signed the contract, and hired the person.

Then he told the address and asked people to go again tomorrow, and gave some loose money, so that they could buy the vegetables together and save them from tossing.

Then the two of them walked around, bought all the clothes and bedding, and ate in a restaurant before returning.

"Second brother."

As soon as he arrived in Beicheng, he met He Lanqi head-on, and took his sister He Lanzhen, as if he was about to go east, and after seeing the two of them, he stopped again.

"Fifth brother, what are you brothers and sisters doing here?"

Ning He also greeted with a smile.

He Lanqi said: "Originally, I wanted to take Zhen'er over to meet Miss Gongye and talk to her, but I didn't expect to meet her, and the second brother just came back?" ”

They also returned to Ying'an County yesterday, and they had been staying in the village before, helping Cheng Qian and dealing with the aftermath of the dead and wounded.

I didn't care about Ning He's absence, I was afraid that his junior sister would be bored, so I thought about taking He Lanzhen over to stay with him for two days, but I didn't expect Ning He to come back.

Ning He said: "I came back in the early morning, I was going to settle Yinnu and look for you again, but it was just right to meet you, go, take this little girl to recognize the door, they are close." ”

Then he didn't turn his back, and said directly to Gongye Ziyi: "This little girl is wilder than you, ...... that day"

He Lanzhen listened to him lift his bottom, bared his tiger teeth and went over, with a strong sense of threat, and then shrank his head to the side, looking at his seventh brother's increasingly unkind gaze, and was about to run.
