The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn - Chapter 585

   Chapter 585 585 Arrival

  Ding rushed back to Kyoto four days and nights, and went straight to Zhoufu.

   When Li Yu heard the news of Ding Sidai’s return, he finally understood why he was restless these days, and was even more worried that Li Qing would be harmed by bandits hiding in Lexian County.

   Ding Si was sent away, and Li Yu immediately sent someone to the yamen to call Zhou Jia back, and began to pack his luggage, preparing to rush to Lexian.

   After Zhou Jia returned to the house, he was also worried when he learned that Ding Si had brought it back.

   Li Yu was worried about going to see Li Qing in Lexian County, but he couldn’t open his mouth to stop her.

Seeing Zhou Jia looking at him worriedly, Li Yu stepped forward to hug him, and said softly, “Xiaoxi, don’t worry, Aqing has just arrived in Lexian, they won’t start so soon. If I don’t go, If Ah Qing has any good or bad, I will not feel at ease in my life. You wait for me at home, and I will come back safely. “

   Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu, hugged her tightly, and said reluctantly, “Go! I’ll go to Mr.’s place to get you some pills. You can bring Ruyi and Jixiang with you, and you will also have someone to take care of when you go together.”

   Li Yu said softly, “Okay, I’ll take them with me.”

   Half an hour later, Li Yu, with good luck and good fortune, each riding a fast horse, galloped out of the city to Chaole County.

  ****

  Li Qing’s family encountered a heavy rain on the way to Lexian County. They were delayed in a small town for a few days. At dusk in late March, they finally arrived at Lexian County.

  The convoy entered the city from the city gate in the east of Lexian County. Li Qing and Liang Cheng were riding horses. They saw that the streets were fairly clean and tidy, but the pedestrians on the streets were sparse and the shops on both sides looked deserted.

  Master Lin Su said to Li Qing: “Xianzun, this Le County looks a little deserted!”

  Li Qing nodded and said, “It may be because of the dusk that the vendors have all closed their stalls and went home.”

  Lin Su looked at the hurrying pedestrians on the street, “Maybe this is the reason.”

   When the convoy arrived outside the county office, the two officers at the entrance of the county office shouted at them, “Come on, this is the entrance of the county office, not where you should come.”

  Lin Su stepped forward and said to him, “Our master is the newly appointed magistrate of Lexian County. Who is your person in charge?”

After listening to Master’s words, the yamen immediately changed his face and smiled flatteringly, “Sir, please forgive me, but the little one has eyes and doesn’t know Mount Tai, so the villain will invite the county magistrate to go.”

The yamen that    left behind looked at the carriages and the scars on Liang Cheng’s face, as well as Hu Zhong’s sullen expressions, and shrank back towards the door in fear.

  Li Qing looked at the gate of the county government office. The mountain peak of the Lexian government office in front of him looked more majestic than that of the Linxian county government office in Kyoto. There were several gilded characters on the lintel of the county government office.

   At this moment, a middle-aged man with a medium stature, plain appearance and ruddy complexion came out of the yamen. There was a gentle smile on Bai Chuan’s face, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

  Wang County Chancellor smiled and bowed to Li Qing, “Xiaguan Wang Ping, see the county magistrate.”

   “Master Wang excuses the ceremony.” Li Qing stepped forward to help him with a smile, and asked in a search tone, “I wonder if Master Liu is still at the county office?”

   Wang Xiancheng sighed and said, “Master Liu has been lying on the couch for many days, and when I heard the news of your coming, he has moved from the county government to the inn behind the county government. After you come to take over, Master Liu will set off to return to his hometown to recuperate.”

  Li Qing showed a guilty look, “It’s all my fault for delaying on the road.”

Wang Ping said sincerely: “Master Li, you have been worrying too much. Master Liu became ill one year after taking office. He has been looking for medicine for almost two years, and he is also eager to go back to see a doctor. Master Li, these are all Do you have your frame? Go and call someone to help you pull it into the back hall.”

  Li Qing shook his head, “You don’t need to call anyone, just come and lead the way.”

   “Yes, my lord.” Wang Pingchong bowed his hands to Li Qing, turned his head to the clerk at the door and said, “Hou Wen, come and lead the way for Mr. Li.”

  The yamen who called Hou Wen hurried over and bowed to the two of them with a smile on his face, “Yes, Mr. Li, please come with Xiao.”

   Hou Wen took Li Qing and his party into the county office.

The    county government is a triple courtyard. Enter the second hall through the corridor in the middle, and then pass through the second hall to the back hall. The two sides of the back hall are the east courtyard and the west courtyard, and after that is the place where the family lives.

   Hou Wen smiled and said to Li Qing: “Master Li, Xiaoxiao went out first. If you have something to do, ask someone to call Xiaoxiao in front of you.”

  Li Qing nodded and said, “Okay.”

  Are stuffed a purse for him, Hou Wen felt it was hard inside, and withdrew with a smile on his face.

  Fan Mingfang got out of the car with Dongdong in her arms, and instructed the servants she brought: “Mother Yun, Nanny, Xiao Cong, you clean up the room. Granny Yang and Granny Lin, you bring the bedding into the house.”

   Several people responded in unison: “Yes, ma’am.”

   Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Lin moved the futon from the car down.

  Nanny Yun, Nanny Xu, and the maid Xiaocong were busy entering the house to check.

   Liang Cheng and Ding Yi, along with several escorts and coachmen, carried the bulky luggage into the house.

  Mother Yun walked into the house and saw that the inside was clean, and even the window paper was replaced with new ones.

   A few people took a rag and scrubbed the room, moved everything into the house, and arranged them neatly.

  Hou Wen took the purse and happily returned to the front office, shaking it in front of his colleagues who were leaning against the porch, “Brother Wang Zhi, I’ll invite you to a drink tonight.”

Wang Zhi looked at the purse in Hou Wen’s hand enviously, “You’re a good fortune boy! This Mr. Li has a background at first glance. Look at the horse, the big green mule cart, and the men accompanying him, one by one. Full of rage.”

   Hou Wen nodded, “This county magistrate looks more energetic than Mr. Liu. We have never seen such a good-looking person in Lexian, and he is more handsome than those girls.”

   The two were talking lively, but they didn’t see Wang Ping walking behind them. Wang Ping patted Hou Wen on the shoulder, “Go to the inn at the back and tell Master Liu, Master Li is here.”

   “Yes, my lord.” Hou Wen smiled to please and backed away.

  Wang Ping glanced at Wang Zhi, “You go to the second hall to see if those old ladies are back. If they don’t come, call at home and ask them to come to work quickly.”

   “Yes, sir.” Wang Zhi hurriedly walked towards the second hall.

  Li Qing took Dongdong from Fan Mingfang’s arms. Seeing his sullen appearance, he touched his forehead and said softly, “Son, we’re here. Look, this is where we will live in the future.”

  Dongdong put his arms around Li Qing’s neck and said in a low voice, “Daddy, I don’t want to be here, I’m going to find Brother Yueyue and Brother Xingxing to play.”

  Li Qing laughed, “Silly boy, brothers are in Kyoto! We have come a long way, and we will be here for a long time before going back.”

  Dongdong twisted his body, “I don’t! I want to go home, I want to find my brother!”

  Fan Mingfang stepped forward and hugged him back, coaxing softly, “Dongdong is a good baby, daddy is very tired, mother will bring you into the room to sleep.”
