I keep refining my face, and gradually it becomes thicker.
The next day, Ye Zhenzhen went to greet Aunt Cui as usual. After breakfast, she personally sent Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming to school. After returning, she played with Xinning for a while. Cui Weizhen, who had arranged the government affairs of the yamen, came back and also
It was time for them to set out and leave.
Aunt Cui only sent them to the gate of the back office: "I am at home. Don't worry. You must pay attention to safety when you go out."
In order to reassure her, Cui Weizhen called Zhou Wu and Wu San to see them. These two were the strongest fighters in the Cui family's escort team. Wu San was also an experienced local. With them accompanying her for protection, Cui Weizhen immediately felt relieved.
Come.
In addition to Zhou Wu and Wu San, Mo Yan also appeared carrying a box and cage, which made a clanging sound as he walked. It must have contained pots and pans.
Ye Zhenzhen held back her laughter and hung her luggage on her mount. Bai Xue hadn't gone out with her for a long time and was so excited that she kept spinning, his head kept rubbing against her, wanting to leave as soon as possible.
Ye Zhenzhen had to take out candy to coax it, and then she managed to calm it down.
Everyone is well prepared and finally ready to set off.
Before leaving, Cui Weizhen asked Ye Zhenzhen: "You really don't want to bring a maid to serve you?"
Ye Zhenzhen shook her head resolutely: "No need, I can take care of myself."
In order to show that her accompanying was not causing trouble, she had rejected this proposal many times. Cui Weizhen had no choice but to settle on it and officially set off.
A group of five people mounted their horses and left the city in a very low-key manner.
For the convenience of traveling, Ye Zhenzhen did not wear some complicated and gorgeous skirts. Even the clothes packed in the package were very similar to the one she was wearing now. She was wearing a dark riding outfit, simple and low-key, and even her hair was covered with black hair.
Her jade crown hairpin was tied up, and if it weren't for her beautiful face that was particularly eye-catching, others would have thought she was Cui Weizhen's servant.
She did not overwhelm the guest, and followed Cui Weizhen very low-key, playing the role of a servant. If not for the special introduction, the county magistrates and local officials would not have known that this exceptionally handsome servant was actually Mrs. Ning Guo.
By this time they had been out for a day.
On this day, they visited Li County, which is not far from Mingzhou Prefecture. The magistrate of Li County is a good official who is in charge. He informed the government of the policy of opening warehouses to borrow grain. They were worried that some villagers did not know about this, so he also
We specially sent government officials to inform people from door to door and did some ideological work, so many farmers in need took the initiative to borrow grain.
As for those poor households, there was no need to wait for them to come to get food. The magistrate of Li County took the government officials to deliver the food directly to their doorsteps.
When Cui Weizhen and others came to Li County, the local people praised the magistrate. Even the children playing on the street raised their fingers and praised the magistrate for loving his people like a son.
Cui Weizhen was very satisfied with the results of today's visit and was in a good mood the whole day.
He said to Ye Zhenzhen with emotion: "If magistrates and counties all over the world were like this, people all over the world would be able to live and work in peace and contentment."
But everyone knows that that is impossible.
Ye Zhenzhen felt sorry for him: "Everyone has selfish motives. Although parents and officials who are so selfless and love the people as their own children do exist, they are very few."
There are many officials in this world, such as the magistrates of Shixian, Fengxian, Zixian and Mingxian counties, who exploit the people for their own benefit. The people live in misery and cannot even provide food and clothing, let alone
Said to live and work in peace and contentment.
I am going to Feng County tomorrow, and I don’t know how the policy will be implemented this time without the county magistrate.
The disturbing thoughts only lasted for a moment. Cui Weizhen quickly calmed down and squeezed his wife's hand: "I rode a horse for a long time today and walked a long way. Are you tired? How about I give it to you?
Give it a squeeze, please?"
"No, I'm not that squeamish yet."
But... Ye Zhenzhen leaned into his ear and whispered: "But I sweated a lot today, I want to wipe myself, is that okay?"
Because it was an undercover investigation, the group of them did not rest at the inn, but stayed in a nearby village. The pile of wilderness survival supplies prepared by Ye Zhenzhen were not used, but the money was put to great use.
But after all, she was staying at someone else's house and it was not very convenient to take a bath, so Ye Zhenzhen settled down and just asked to wipe herself.
Cui Weizhen rubbed her head: "Wait a minute."
He got up and walked out of the house. Ye Zhenzhen just thought that he had gone to fetch water, and then went to tidy up the place where he would rest tonight. As soon as he laid out the blanket, she heard a movement outside.
"Cui Langjun, the bathtub is placed here, you can do it yourself."
"Thank you very much, old man."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." The old man who owned the house laughed heartily and said in a loud voice: "I just made a bathtub, and I plan to take it to the county to sell it tomorrow. Cui Langjun, you bought it and it saved me money.
It took a lot of effort. But, Cui Langjun, you bought a bathtub just for bathing, right? Are you going to take such a big bathtub on the road tomorrow?"
Cui Weizhen's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Of course I have to take him with me on the road."
No matter what, Zhen'er's used personal belongings must not be thrown away at will. Even if they are burned as firewood, they cannot be kept for others to use.
In this regard, he is much more particular than Ye Zhenzhen.
Of course, this idea seemed a little unbelievable to the simple old man who owned the house. This was the first time in his life that he had seen someone buying a bathtub temporarily just for bathing.
Obviously he is willing to lend out his bathtub, but this gentleman is willing to spend money to buy a new one. This is probably the nobleman's preference.
Just like Cui Langjun, he didn't take a maid to serve him when he went out, but he brought a servant who was even more handsome than the girl's family, and he even wanted to live together. I don't know what his hobby was.
The old man became curious and couldn't help but glance into the room. He happened to meet Ye Zhenzhen's eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
The old man scratched his head quickly and smiled dryly: "Haha, you are busy, you are busy, I will go back first, just call me if you need anything at night."
After saying that, he slipped away with oil on his feet, and his back looked like he was being driven away.
Ye Zhenzhen had a bad premonition: "Weizhen, did I misunderstand something?"
Cui Weizhen looked at her dressed as a man, twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Why don't you wear women's clothes tomorrow."
Ye Zhenzhen understood immediately, and twitched the corner of her mouth, complaining: "This old man has a very smart mind, but his eyesight is not very good. Didn't he notice the big bright moon on my ears?"
Cui Weizhen laughed: "If we find out, there will be no such misunderstanding."
