"Wuwuwu, Your Majesty, please be merciful, please be merciful! Your humble servant thanks Your Majesty, thanks Your Highness the Crown Prince, thank you for your trust in your humble servant!~" Governor Chen knelt on the ground, weeping and wailing.
Imperial Censor Qin: "......"
Old Chen, the Crown Prince and His Majesty are not here right now. Who are you crying and acting for?
"Old Chen, I've been standing here for a long time, and you haven't even offered me a glass of water..." Imperial Censor Qin coughed lightly.
After delivering the letter to Governor Chen, he still had to go to Yun Gui Fang to deliver another letter to Yun Da Man.
Upon hearing this, Governor Chen scrambled to his feet and shouted towards the door, "Where are the maids? Quickly make tea for the Imperial Censor. They have no sense at all..." https:/
With such great news, he had to prepare at least two tables and invite his in-laws over to celebrate together.
If it weren't for the young county princess developing the windmill, and him coincidentally benefiting from it, let alone being promoted by two ranks, he would probably have been stuck in this small county town for a lifetime...
After the hot tea was brewed, Imperial Censor Qin sat down, took a sip, and said, "Old Chen, prepare yourself these few days, pack your belongings, and move to the prefectural city with your wife, children, and family. Before you leave, remember to hand over your work to Da Man. He's a first-time official and knows nothing. You must teach him patiently..."
Governor Chen: "???"
What is this?
Why should he hand over his work to Yun Da Man out of the blue?
Seeing Governor Chen looking bewildered and confused, Imperial Censor Qin put down his teacup and said with a smile, "His Highness the Crown Prince has decided that Yun Da Man will be the magistrate of Heyang County from now on. I didn't quite understand it at first, but since it's His Highness's order, we must obey it, right?"
Governor Chen: "......"
I really don't quite understand.
If it were Er Man, San Man, or Si Man taking on the role of magistrate, he could somewhat accept it...
But Da Man is honest and straightforward, and foolish in everything he does. This is the most taboo thing for an official.
If he were to become the magistrate, wouldn't the surrounding ten villages fall into chaos?
"Imperial Censor Qin, it's not that I don't trust Da Man, it's just that I'm worried..."
"Worried about the common people?"
Imperial Censor Qin asked with a smile, rolled a pipe of dried tobacco, took two puffs, and said, "Don't worry, His Highness the Crown Prince is far-sighted and wise. The problems you think of, His Highness has already considered them. Besides, how do you know Da Man is not material for an official?"
"Well... that's true!~" Governor Chen murmured, and looked at Imperial Censor Qin, "Then I will hand over the work as soon as possible, so as not to worry His Highness about this matter!"
As the saying goes, when the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road, and when the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten. Things are always moving forward, and they can't always go backward...
Take his experience as an official, for example. In the past, Heyang County had no magistrate, and Imperial Censor Qin, as the prefect of the region, worked in the small county town for more than ten years.
When the Emperor made a private visit in disguise, he was suddenly demoted by one rank and became the lowest-ranking magistrate.
Now that his luck has turned, he has been transferred to the prefectural city as governor, which is now equivalent to a provincial governor...
After Imperial Censor Qin left, Governor Chen called out to Madam Huang, asking her to prepare food and wine for a grand banquet tomorrow to celebrate with the entire Yun family.
At the same time, inside Yun San Man's residence.
Shangguan Fang'er sat in the main hall, holding an embroidery needle, embroidering mandarin ducks on silk cloth...
Since marrying San Man, she had become increasingly gentle and virtuous. Casting aside her title as a princess of the Chen Kingdom, she appeared more like an ordinary young wife.
As for the treasure left to her by the royal family, Shangguan Fang'er no longer wanted it. Too much greed would lead to ruin. She didn't want San Man to live a life of constant worry with her...
Just then, a young maid walked in from outside, "Madam, someone is looking for you at the door!~"
Shangguan Wan'er was slightly startled and looked up, "Xiao He, who is it?"
"It's a young lady..." replied the maid named Xiao He.
Shangguan Fang'er quickly put down her embroidery needle and stood up, "Quickly let her in!"
She didn't need to guess who it was.
A moment later, Murong Qing walked in, carrying two boxes of pastries and smiling.
Since returning to Dashui Village, she had wanted to visit the Princess for a long time, but she hadn't had the time...
"Your servant pays respects to Your Highness the Princess!~" Murong Qing stepped forward and curtsied.
Shangguan Fang'er quickly helped her up and glanced at Xiao He, "Didn't I say that these common courtesies should be dispensed with from now on..."
As she spoke, she leaned close to Murong Qing's ear, "Besides, I'm no longer a princess. From now on, when you see me, just call me Sister Fang'er. I'm happy to hear it!~"
Murong Qing's beautiful eyes flickered, and she smiled sweetly, "Okay, Sister Fang'er..."
The two sisters sat down and chatted about recent events.
"The Yun family treats me very well, like their own daughter. If Dr. Guan hadn't helped me with my illness back then, I would still be crazy and not recognize anyone..."
Shangguan Fang'er said with a smile, then asked Murong Qing, "By the way, Yun Jin He getting into a fight at the Imperial College, will it affect his studies? With his mother's temper, she'll definitely think you instigated Yun Jin He to fight..."
She got along well with everyone in the Yun family, old and young, except for that Zhao Guihua, whom Shangguan Fang'er found repulsive from the bottom of her heart.
"His mother said so, but later she was reprimanded by her elder sister-in-law and shut up!~" Murong Qing sighed.
Shangguan Fang'er listened and took Murong Qing's hand, "Qing'er, what are you really thinking? You can go to Yan Kingdom to find your brother yourself after leaving Jin He. Why do you have to hang yourself on one tree?"
With Murong Qing's ability and courage, let alone Yan Kingdom, she could come and go freely even in Halarin City...
"Sister Fang'er, this matter has little to do with Jin He. I just want to go to Yan Kingdom to find my brother openly. Besides, whatever his mother wants to say, I'll just ignore her!~" Murong Qing felt very tired.
Shangguan Fang'er gave her a reproachful look, "Then why are you doing this? You haven't really fallen in love with Jin He, have you?"
She thought Murong Qing would blush and her heart would race when this topic came up, but she didn't show any emotion, "Why should I fall in love with him?"
If she fell in love with everyone she met, wouldn't she become a love-struck fool?
It was clearly Zhao Guihua who was being overly sentimental and self-moved, but in the end, she really didn't have that kind of feeling for Yun Jin He...
"It's good that you don't like him!~" Shangguan Fang'er sighed slightly, then suddenly frowned, "Someone like Zhao Guihua, who is sharp-tongued, mean, and unreasonable, would be incredibly unlucky if they became her daughter-in-law..."
Murong Qing pursed her lips and smiled, her heart neither happy nor sad.
