"Brother Su, you have been tired for many days, drink two cups and lie down to rest, I have to deal with official documents after eating, after processing, if you have time in the afternoon, you can also go to the resettlement point for wounded soldiers in the north of the city to take a turn, and by the way, go to see how the situation of the village school is."

Jiang Yan finished speaking vaguely and continued to bow his head and pick up the rice.

Ignoring the rule of "eating and sleeping silently" on weekdays.

Su Rui realized that this friend had leaned forward a lot of his neck recently, and his waist had bent a lot, and he didn't look like he used to look at it, and he felt that he had an outstanding temperament and was about to cultivate immortals.

But the same.

But my friend's spirit was more vigorous than before, and the light in his eyes was even greater.

"Functions can achieve the people, and the people can achieve officials, that's probably it."

He sighed to himself.

Jiang Yan, who was deaf and clear-sighted, heard the sound, and the chopsticks in his hand raised a few grains of rice, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Although what he is doing now is not his ideal of going into battle to kill the enemy and become a military attaché.

But if there is a person like Mr. Ning under his rule, who is content with entrepreneurship and has the people of the world in his heart, he can clean up the business atmosphere and benefit the people, and he, the prefect, can do it until he dies.

"Brother Su, does Your Majesty have the intention to reward Mr. Ning for the tobacco he offered?"

Mr. Ning is willing to give him credit.

Naturally, he had to think about the well-being of Mr. Ning.

At the mention of this question, Su Rui frowned slightly and shook his head slightly.

"I haven't heard the news about this yet, and the commendation should be indispensable, but I think Your Majesty may want to personally commend him, if you see Mr. Ning when you go back, give him a wake-up call, and let him prepare early."

It depends on him.

When he wrote that Mr. Ning was also going to Beijing, he told His Majesty that Mr. Ning's demeanor was outstanding, and he praised him fiercely, hoping to attract His Majesty's attention.

Now that the emphasis is indeed attached, it is just that depending on His Majesty's intentions, the Ning family should be included in the ranks of the protégés of the Son of Heaven.

Naturally, this commendation must be promulgated in person in person, so as to show the emperor's grace even more.

Thinking that in the future, with such a heavyweight as Mr. Ning in his faction, he can not only be literary but also collect money, and Su Rui's appetite will be better.

He picked up the wine glass in front of Jiang Yan and smiled teasingly: "Governor Jiang, it's not right...... Jiang Changshi, you have to worry about the affairs of Jinling Mansion, I will drink two more cups and rest. I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to steal half a day of leisure and sit back and watch Brother Jiang keep busy, hahahaha. ”

“……”

Jiang Yan regretted a little that he had taken out the best wine to entertain Su Rui.

This guy is usually so restrained, but he didn't expect to drink two more sips of wine and dare to laugh at him.

"Jiang He, go get another pot of wine, Lord Thorn Shi wants to rest, just let him sleep until dawn."

……

After waking up for a nap.

Ning Wuxian glanced at the sun that had just gone west.

There is still an hour before the Yamen goes down, and at this hour, the various departments of the Yamen are in the finishing stage of their work, and they happen to make an appointment with Jiang Yan to help him find someone.

I won't deliver dinner first, after all, I don't know which bad brothers to ask for help, and after the equestrian demonstration, the daylily is cold.

I heard that there is a new orchid in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so I just took the opportunity to invite everyone to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a meal.

Before going out, Ning Wuxian arranged the follow-up things.

Merely.

What he didn't expect was that when he arrived at the mansion, Jiang Yan was not there.

The official guarding the door dragged him for a moment, invited Ning Wuxian to stand in the shade, and said with a low laugh: "What does Mr. Ning have to find the prefect?" If it's something important, you can talk to Lord Thorn Shi first. ”

"Master Su is back again?"

"It was the prefect who called me, saying that it was to check taxes, so Lord Thorn Shi drank a few more glasses, and he hasn't woken up yet, but if Mr. Ning is here, Lord Thorn Shi will definitely come to his senses."

Regarding the means of making people sober, the official knows more about nature than Ning Wuxian.

But what happened to Ning Wuxian was not enough to alarm Su Rui.

He smiled gratefully at the official who gave him advice, and politely refused: "Master Su is busy and tired, so I won't bother him, do you know where Master Jiang is going?" ”

"I went to Liujiazhuang in the north of the city."

The servants did not hide it.

The prefect said that Mr. Ning didn't need to report to him.

Then the prefect's whereabouts naturally do not have to be hidden.

Jiang Yan went to Liujiazhuang, he should have gone to see the resettlement site for wounded soldiers and the construction of village schools, and if he went at this time, if he didn't leave food, it would be dark when he came back.

"Master Jiang is really working hard."

Ning Wuxian said as he gestured to Yun Fei with his eyes.

Yun Fei took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the hand of the servant.

"For the brothers."

Ning Wuxian's usual questioning is not interesting.

The official was even more startled, looked left and right, and saw that no one found it, so he hurriedly refused: "Mr. Ning, don't torture me, you can accept other people's silver, but I can't accept Mr. Ning's." ”

And that's not all.

If it weren't for the upright nature of the Ning family, those of them who were servants would want to give Ning Zhaomo silver.

Whoever asks Ning Zhaomo to take care of them so much, whoever has a disaster or a shortage of cash, Ning Zhaomo will help without hesitation, never caring about money, they naturally can't ignore their conscience and accept Mr. Ning's money.

Besides.

Since Mr. Ning's tax is high enough, their treatment has improved a lot, and it is too late to thank Mr. Ning, who has collected this money, I am afraid that I will have no face to collect it.

"Okay, since you don't accept it, I will personally invite you to drink and eat when I have the opportunity in the future."

It's not too early.

Ning Wuxiao didn't talk to the guards at the door.

After knowing Jiang Yan's whereabouts, he got into the carriage and headed towards the north of the city.

Out of the city, the originally golden rice fields have now turned into endless plains.

There is an early harvest plot, which is already full of knee-high weeds, in which sheep and cattle bow their heads to graze, and the middle-aged man with a broken arm raises a whip in his hand, and while herding the cattle and sheep, he does not forget to use the other end of the stick to write and draw on the ground, practicing the words he learned in the village yesterday.

The carriage passed by the field and saw the middle-aged man with a broken arm outside, Ning Wuxian raised the curtain and said hello.

This person used to stay in Ningfu for a long time to do chores, and he was often depressed, and his life seemed to be waiting for death.

Looking at it now, it seems that he has changed a person, his mental state is much better, and he looks much younger.

"Fifth son, don't go, I just picked a few wild fruits."

The middle-aged man with a broken arm threw a bag of wild fruits into the car, and the degree of accurate projection made Ning Wuxian defenseless.

Of course.

There is no need to be guarded.

"Thank you Lao Li, then I'm welcome, by the way, it's time to change the season, if the herd of cattle and sheep is uncomfortable, remember to go to the veterinarian in advance to see, don't drag, it's best to learn a little veterinarian skills yourself, you go back and ask other people who want to learn, if you want to learn, I will let Cheng Gongzi arrange a veterinarian to give a lecture."
