Chapter 214: I'm in a hurry

Hua Rujin helped Meng Changqing into the carriage, and rode a horse to lead the way in front of the carriage.

When the group came to the place where there was a farmland village, Hua Rujin said: "This is the closest village to the border in Hongjia County, can you see any problems?" ”

Meng Changqing's head kept poking out of the car, "I didn't see the problem, I just looked at the houses in the village from a distance, it seemed to be newly built, and more than half of the fields seemed to have just been reclaimed." ”

Hua Rujin smiled and nodded, "Exactly, this village was only created after the city wall of Beishan County was built, most of the people who moved down from the mountain, I gave a pardon, the fields were reclaimed, and no tax was levied on the acres in the first two years, and the grain planted was theirs." ”

Meng Changqing praised him for his kindness.

Hua Rujin said: "It's not as good as you, I heard that in Beishan County, as long as five acres are reclaimed, the government will allow the people to keep one acre for themselves, but?" ”

"So far." Meng Changqing admitted, but did not explain why.

"Individuals are different." Hua Rujin said.

The carriage continued to walk forward to the first town Meng Changqing saw, which was not prosperous, the houses were small and not large, and the streets were mostly filled with women and children.

Hua Rujin introduced, "This is Shanglu Town, and the families who live here are basically the families of border soldiers. The men of the family work in the camp every day, and only come out to reunite with their families when they are on vacation. ”

From afar, she watched a woman walk away carrying two large buckets of well water, and she struggled to walk, but her child did not understand the weight on his mother's shoulders, and danced and laughed beside her.

"Since the soldiers sacrifice their families for the country, the country should also remember their kindness......" Meng Changqing stopped abruptly when he said this, remembering that he was a guest on other people's realms, and he really shouldn't talk too much, so he smiled at Hua Rujin and swallowed the words behind.

When she said this, her voice was not high, and Hua Rujin probably didn't hear it.

The convoy went to the front, and not far from Shanglu Town was the county government of Hongjia County.

When Meng Changqing came back, Hua Rujin naturally wanted to invite her to sit in the yamen.

It is said that Meng Changqing has a foot injury, and it should be inconvenient to get on and off the carriage and steps, but she jumps faster on one foot than others on two feet, and others have no chance to take care of her.

The yamen of Hongjia County is not as good as Yangmen County, only the front face of the yamen is the most magnificent, and there should be a rear yamen for the officials themselves and their families to live, but there is no here.

"My conditions here are not as good as those in other counties." Hua Rujin was modest, "You came from the capital, I don't think you have seen such a dilapidated yamen as me." ”

"Master Hua forgot, a year ago my yamen was still a hole in the ground."

When Hua Rujin heard this, she laughed twice, "Sit down, I'll let someone serve you tea." As soon as his voice fell, a servant over there brought hot tea, and he motioned for the old servant to send it directly to Meng Changqing, "You must taste this tea." ”

Meng Changqing opened the lid of the cup and saw that the teacup was not tea at all, she picked up the teacup and sniffed it slightly, "Is it schisandra in the cup?" ”

"Exactly." Hua Rujin said, "Do you know where this schisandra came from?" ”

Where did Meng Changqing know, so he naturally asked rhetorically.

"It was picked from the mountain where you and I meet." Hua Rujin took a sip of herself, "I don't understand pharmacology, but I heard that schisandra soaking in water can relieve cough and strengthen the body, which is suitable for you, I will let you get a pack later, you can take it back and drink some daily, it is good for you." ”

"Thank you for your trouble." After Meng Changqing finished speaking, he lowered his head and drank half a cup.

"Although the hour is still early, it is rare for you to come here, and I can't tell you to leave on an empty stomach."

Meng Changqing was about to refuse politely, so he heard Hua Rujin smile and said: "Don't worry, although I love to eat pasta, I also have rice in the kitchen." ”

"I'm tired of Mr. Hua, I'm sorry." is so enthusiastic, Meng Changqing has asked for the other party, but it is not easy to refuse.

Hua Rujin asked someone to add tea to Meng Changqing, but Meng Changqing only picked up the teacup and touched his lips.

Seeing Meng Changqing's impatience, Hua Rujin invited this lunch an hour earlier, and then did not mention the lunch break, and took Meng Changqing to take a look around in his county.

In addition to Shanglu Town and Hongjiaying, Hongjia County also has two towns of Xishan and Tiyu, of which Tiyu Town occupies the largest area, which is the most economically developed place in the county, and its main economic source is farming.

After Tiyu Town, it is the official road leading to Liangzhou Mansion and Yangmen County, Hua Rujin originally planned to lend the carriage to Meng Changqing and let her go back along the official road.

But he didn't want Meng Changqing to use the excuse that his carriage was under the city wall of Beishan County, so he had to return the same way.

Hua Rujin thought that this excuse was too clumsy, and he guessed that it should be because Meng Changqing and Mao Chunfang were at odds, so he avoided Yangmen County.

Hua Rujin didn't say much, only sent people to the city wall, and watched Meng Changqing walk towards Beishan County on crutches, and he stood in place for a while.

Until the servant stepped forward and asked, "Master, it is not appropriate to stand on the wall for a long time when the wind is strong." ”

"Too young at all." Hua Rujin shook his head towards Meng Changqing's distant back, "Too impatient, too straightforward, I don't have much patience to wait for a meal, what will he do in the officialdom in the future?" ”

The reason why Meng Changqing was so anxious to urge the rest of the trip was not that she was impatient, but that her body did not allow it.

She drank two cups of tea with Hua Rujin, for fear that she would not be able to hold back on the way, if there was her own carriage beside her, it would not be in the way, she had a gong bucket on the car, or it didn't matter if her feet were good, just find a place where no one could see and solve it.

It's just so unfortunate, so she has to be in a hurry.
