This time, they walked on the road for nearly three months, and did not arrive in Hailing County until early April.

At this time, the fetus in Mu Jiaojiao's womb was already four months old, and a slight bulge could be seen in the lower abdomen. It's just that she is already thin, and she has morning sickness all the way, and she has lost a lot of weight. The clothes that fit her before were worn on her, and they became a lot looser. Covering his stomach like this, he looks mediocre, and ordinary people can't see anything unusual.

Because the sage summoned Cui Pu back to Chang'an to report on his work a few years ago, not to let him step down and go back to wait for a new appointment, Cui Pu only returned to Chang'an with Mu Jiaojiao at that time, but left Wang Qilang and Mr. Zhuang and his party in Tianchang County.

After the appointment, he first asked someone to go to Tianchang County to send a message to them, so Wang Seventeen and a group of people moved directly from Tianchang County to Hailing County.

So by the time Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu arrived, the county government and the residence had already been packed, just waiting for them to move in.

This saved Mu Jiaojiao a lot of things. It just so happened that she was tortured to death by the little guy in her womb along the way, and she really didn't have time to care about these anymore.

Watching her various spit methods along the way, Cui Pu was really frightened. So as soon as he stared at the destination, he immediately pressed Mu Jiaojiao on the bed and forced the fetus to be installed.

Naturally, Taiyi Chang was cheeky and followed.

Hearing that Mu Jiaojiao was unwell, he volunteered to show her. As a result, when he finished checking the pulse, he jumped up: "She, she, she...... She's pregnant!"

"Yes, isn't it?" asked Cui Pu.

Imperial Physician Chang hurriedly shook his head. "Of course she can get pregnant. It's just that the two of you are a little too bold! When you were just pregnant and should have been careful about the baby, you took her on a long trip. Have you ever thought about what you would do if she got a good deal because of this? Look at what she's been tortured into now!"

Cui Pu was scolded so much that he bowed his head and was silent.

Mu Jiaojiao only dared to say cautiously: "We just don't want to stay in Chang'an." The water was getting muddy, and we didn't want to mix it up. ”

Doctor Chang suddenly understood. But he still sighed: "Then you are too reckless! Can't you find an excuse to stay in Chang'an for a little longer, and wait for her fetus to sit firmly before going out?"

If you stay any longer, won't it be easier for your family to find out the clues?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly: "We've all come, aren't we okay now? Don't worry about these indifferent hearts anymore, or think about how you two old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time when Guo Tingshi comes!"

"What do I have to say to him? The two old men, that is, drinking and playing chess, are boring!" said Chang Taiyi disapprovingly, but there was obviously a flash of light in his eyes.

In the backyard, because Mu Jiaojiao vomited fierce luck along the way, she still had lingering palpitations, so after arriving in Hailing County, Cui Pu did not allow others to disturb her again, and only waited for her to get better slowly.

As for him, he naturally took office in the shortest possible time and became busy again.

Because his previous reputation in Tianchang County was too obvious, the squires in Hailing County had already figured out his foundation, and now it was impossible for them to repeat the previous routine. But fortunately, perhaps because he saw his achievements in Tianchang County, Hailing County went up to the squires and down to the people, and everyone welcomed him very much, and fully cooperated with his work.

In addition, Wang Qiqi and his entourage came over two months early, and everything here was straightened out. So in half a month, Cui Pu has almost mastered everything in Hailing County.

Then, he ran to Mu Jiaojiao again and complained.

"Do you say that the surname Wu is sick? This good Hailing County is the junction of sea and land, and it is connected with the Yangtze River, where all kinds of grain and grass goods are exchanged and circulated, and its status in Yangzhou is a little worse than that of Yangzhou City, and agriculture and commerce are extremely prosperous. All he needs is a little guidance...... Even if he doesn't guide, it's good to let others develop freely! As a result, he has been here for three years, and he has made a mess of everything in Hailing County, and the life of the people in the past three years has not been as good as before!"

"He didn't even do a simple thing like planting a sweet potato. He got all the sweet potato seedlings, and there were so many masters around him, but in the end, the yield per mu was only more than 300 catties. Wang 17 told me that the surnamed Wu had a hole in his brain, and he had to plan the farmland below in a unified manner, and he had to stipulate which land to plant and what direction the aqueduct should be repaired, and what it would look like. But what is the use of looking good in agriculture? Practical is the last word! He tossed back and forth for three years, and a lot of money was spent, but in the end he only got such an angry and resentful ending, and I was also convinced!"

Mu Jiaojiao was also dumbfounded. "What about the capable people around him? Didn't they persuade him?"

Have you forgotten how he dealt with those gentlemen when we came from Chang'an to Yangzhou three years ago? Those people must have already been chilled by his actions, so they just dealt with everything. Anyway, everything was done as he said. If they do a good job, it is the credit of Wu Xianzun; if they do not do well, it has nothing to do with them, they just listen to the county honor! Therefore, in the end, it is the people below who suffer. ”

Mu Jiaojiao shook her head weakly. "And what are you going to do now?"

"Do things one by one and slowly pull it back, otherwise what else?" Cui Pu sighed, "But the squires here are quite interesting, and they have fully supported all my actions from the beginning. Especially the family surnamed Wei, it is really attentive to the bones!"

"That's natural, don't forget that you have a few families in Tianchang County! They all remember it clearly in their hearts, and those who are smart know that they can't go against you. And as long as it follows you, there will be good results in the future. Then naturally they will all support you obediently. Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

"So, although Wu Lixin is a bastard, this good start in front of him is still thanks to him. If it weren't for his negative teaching material, these people wouldn't be so well-behaved and obedient in front of me. Cui Pu smiled proudly.

Mu Jiaojiao also pursed her lips and smiled.

Everything is going well for them here, and presumably Wu Lixin's life there is not very easy. After all, in the past three years, the whole of Tianchang County has been twisted into a rope, and everyone has taken Cui Pu, the county master, as the head of the horse, and finally worshiped Cui Pu as a god. Everyone knows some of the grievances between Cui Pu and Wu Lixin. Now he is alone in the tiger's den......

"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!" When he returned, Wu Lixin was so angry that his face turned pale, and he kept cursing in his mouth, "On this day, the whole and upper and lower levels of Changxian County have really been taught bad by the surname Cui, and they all have a stinky temper with him, which really me off! If it weren't for the fact that I would have to spend the next three years with them, I really hate to arrest them all and beat them to death!"

Seeing this, Pei Shi hurriedly asked, "But someone is disrespectful to you in court today?"

"Then someone has to be willing to go to court!" Wu Lixin shouted, "I don't know who spread the word, saying that I am a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, and not only has nothing to do in Hailing County, but also made a mess there." When the people come to me to complain about grievances, I also favor those rich and noble. As a result, they didn't believe me. So until now, I haven't even received a piece of paper from the yamen! I sit there every day when I go out, and I don't even have anything to do!"

Actually, what others said is right! You really didn't do anything serious in Hailing County at the beginning, but you caused a lot of mess.

And the people of Tianchang County have become accustomed to the guidance of Cui Pu, a wise and martial county, who can look down on you? They just choose to ignore you, but in fact, it is enough to give you face.

Pei Shi secretly said in his heart, and Mu Jiaojiao's smile couldn't help but appear in front of him again.

With such a smart lady, being a husband must not be much worse. Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu, the couple, have really made Tianchang County bigger and bigger. Presumably, for many years to come, they will be the characters that the people of Tianchang County will never forget. Even soon, I'm afraid they will all become positive characters in various opera scripts, right?

And she and Wu Lixin, as long as they don't become villains who set off their glorious images, she will be thankful.

But......

Why did she always feel a little familiar when she recalled Mu Jiaojiao's face, as if she had seen her somewhere? But no matter what she thought, she couldn't remember where she had seen her.

Wu Lixin lost his temper and was in a better mood, so he put his hands behind his back: "I'll go to the study and sit, don't bother me if you have nothing to do." And he strode away.

When I came into the study, a little guy crept in.

"How is it, have you found it?" Wu Lixin asked hurriedly.

The little guy shook his head. "I've asked everywhere, and the people who serve in the county government said that when Cui Liulangjun's family lived here, there were no other ladies in the backyard except for his wife and the people who served around his wife. And among those people, apart from the most beautiful lady, they don't remember any other beauties. ”

"Just that woman, she is also beautiful? Haven't these hillbillies ever seen real beauties? Or have they been drugged and blinded by the surname Cui?" Wu Li Xinyan immediately mocked unceremoniously.

After the ridicule was enough, he waved his hand: "I know, you go down! If you have time, you should listen more, if there is any new news, remember to inform me in time!"

The little guy hurriedly retreated.

When the people left, Wu Lixin looked at the people around him, and quickly pulled out a scroll from the cabinet. Unfold it carefully, and a beautiful woman wearing a hood and a fluttering dress leaps onto the page.

The beauty in the painting maintains a posture with her back to him, but suddenly looks back, revealing a beautiful face. The hood on her head was falling because of the external pull, so that the light veil fluttered and gently brushed her cheeks, adding a bit of mysterious beauty to her.

Wu Lixin couldn't help but stretch out his hand, gently rubbing the face of the painted beauty, while muttering obsessively: "Beauty, where are you? Are you really my fantasy? But why do I just think that you are still alive waiting for me in this world?"
