Liu Yiyan glanced at the old man again and let out a long sigh.

"When he came to our county seat before, we heard people call him Hou Gongzi. As for whether he has changed his name now, we don't know. But I heard that he is now in the limelight in the middle of the court, and he is hot, so you must be careful everywhere after you arrive in the imperial capital! ”

Xiao Feng stood up and bowed.

"I see."

As soon as he got up, Lin Shuiyao pushed the door and walked in, followed by more than a dozen family members.

"It's time to eat, mother, I see that you have lost weight these days, you have to eat more today!"

The three people in the room exchanged glances, and they were busy with the little thing at hand.

"Today, your husband is the protagonist, he should eat more."

After speaking, Liu Yiyan beckoned to the banquet and called the rest of the Lin family by the way.

"Yo, make so many dishes! What's the matter, is Xiao Feng going to be expelled from the Lin family and celebrate in advance? ”

Xiao Feng didn't have to look back to know that the person who spoke was Lin Xuan.

"Today, the imperial capital came to deliver the decree, and Xiao Feng is now from the eighth grade to Shilang."

Lin Xuan's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Yiyan.

"Mother, this can't be ......"

Without waiting for him to finish, Xiao Feng took out the holy decree directly.

"Lin Xuan, do you know what the crime of insulting the imperial court officials is?"

"I'm ......"

Lin Xuan's appearance at this time was no different from a chicken that had been beaten five or six sticks and was dying on the ground.

"This official will not bother with you before your mind is opened, and he will punish you to kneel here until we finish eating."

"You! It's ......"

Seeing that Lin Xuan was kneeling steadily, Liu Yiyan no longer paid attention to him.

"Xiao Feng, if you go to Beijing to take up a post, when do you plan to leave?"

Xiao Feng calculated that the distance from Yanyang County to the imperial capital was hundreds of miles, and even if it was to take the official road by carriage, it would take seventeen or eighteen days to say the least. If there is some trouble on the road, it may take longer!

"Three days later, His Majesty the Emperor only gave me a month, and I'm afraid it's too late to leave."

Liu Yiyan didn't say anything, but the old man opened the conversation box and told Xiao Feng a lot of things.

"You must bring more coils on the road!"

"Bring more food, you don't have to worry about things at home."

……

After the grandparents and grandchildren finished chatting about family life, it was close to midnight, and Liu Yiyan immediately arranged for the two to stay.

Early the next morning, Xiao Feng returned to Surabaya County with Lin Shuiyao, planning to spend three days explaining the affairs of the village.

The first person Xiao Feng called was the coachman Lao Wang.

"Lao Wang, I will not be in the village during this time in the future, and the business must be done well. Now it's hard for everyone to raise bamboo rats and make some money, but don't be unable to do it because I'm not there. ”

Lao Wang patted his chest.

"Why can't you do it, we received a new order yesterday. Everyone is about to live a life of killing pigs and eating meat every day. ”

"That's good, you can take care of the bamboo rat matter."

After sending Lao Wang away, the second wave of people called by Xiao Feng were Niu Meng and the backbone of the Eastern Star Society.

As soon as he came in, Niu Meng put the burden on the table.

"Brother Feng, your journey is too dangerous, brothers follow you."

Xiao Feng did not refuse.

At present, the world is chaotic, and he does not dare to guarantee that he can reach the imperial capital safely, so it will not be wrong to bring more people to protect himself. In addition, after arriving in Kyoto, he also had to have a few trustworthy people around him to help him do things.

"Okay, Mengzi, you can help me pick a dozen good ones, let's go together."

"Okay!"

Hearing Xiao Feng so simply agree to Niu Meng and the others to follow, Lin Shuiyao understood that the holy decree said that going to work within the month was not just for Xiao Feng to take office alone, so he immediately came to his side and grabbed Xiao Feng's arm.

"Husband, Shui Yao is also going. This mountain is high and the road is far away, how can you do it without someone to take care of you! ”

"No, the journey from Yanyang County to the capital is tiring, and your body can't bear it at all. It's better to be obedient and wait at home for me to come back. ”

While the two were talking, Zhang Shishi walked in with the village account book, obviously it was the day to pay the account. But as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by Niu Meng.

"Miss Zhang, please wait here for a while."

Xiao Feng also saw Zhang Shishi, but Lin Shuiyao had already straddled him in order to be able to walk with him, which made him surging evil, so he could only let Zhang Shishi wait outside the door.

"No, the slave family will go to ...... whatever they say"

"Good, good...... Take you there, take you there! ”

couldn't stand Lin Shuiyao's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Xiao Feng had no choice but to agree to her request.

"Shishi, please bring me the account book."

Xiao Feng had already noticed that the expression on this little girl's face was wrong, but he couldn't take two women to the imperial capital at the same time no matter what, so he opened his mouth and did business.

"The village's accounts are so neat thanks to you. Shishi, I'm going to the imperial capital to take office soon, so all the accounts inside and outside the village will be handed over to you! ”

Zhang Shishi was naturally unwilling, but Xiao Feng was a good move.

"Shishi, it just so happens that we are not at home. Don't live in the grass house in the north of the village, come and live in Xiao Mansion! ”

Zhang Shishi was overjoyed, after all, in her opinion, as long as she entered the Xiao Mansion, it meant that she was already Xiao Feng's person.

"Yes, Lord Xiao, don't worry, the affairs of Surabaya Village will be wrapped up in me."

After arranging the affairs in the village, Xiao Feng finally poured out the time to prepare for the trip. He and Lin Shuiyao don't know how long it will take, and there are naturally a lot of things to prepare.

Some of them can be carried at home, and the other part is for Niu Dehao to go into the city to buy before he leaves.

After three days of busy work, the group stood at the gate of Surabaya Village, ready to go.

Bidding farewell to the villagers, Xiao Feng and others officially set off.

However, as soon as they walked out of the village, Xiao Feng and the others were stopped by the endless sea of people.

"Da Niu, who are they, why did they stop us."

Niu Deyu didn't understand the reason why these people came, so he stepped forward and asked clearly.

Xiao Feng thought that this group of people had come to make trouble, and even hid Lin Shuiyao behind him, and he held the weapon tightly in his hand.

After about half a pillar of incense, Niu De went back in an uproar.

Only then did Xiao Feng know that the reason why he was stopped was so ridiculous!
