County Government. Magistrate Zhou looked at Lu Yi in front of him with embarrassment, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and sighed softly.
"Master Lu, Mr. Qin said before he left that you are a talented person. You have done a good job, why do you suddenly have such thoughts?"
"The lower officials are less talented and less knowledgeable. Recently, I feel more and more inadequate. It must be because of insufficient talents. The affairs of the Yamen are not a trivial matter. Since the lower officials are not qualified, it is better to resign from the official position."
"You're like this... Hey, you're like this, it seems like I can't tolerate others."
"My lord has misunderstood, this has nothing to do with my lord."
"Okay, since this is what you want, I agree. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me and I will not treat you badly."
"Thank you, sir."
Gao Yamen was guarding outside. When he saw Lu Yi coming out, his eyes were full of worry.
"you……"
Lu Yi cupped his hands and said, "Gao Yamen, I'll take my leave now."
Magistrate Zhou saw Lu Yi and Gao Yamen walking away.
Chen County Cheng came out and said, "What does this Lu Yi want to do?"
"He has already resigned, what else can he do?" Magistrate Zhou said with a smile: "He has some brains and knows that he will have no future if he stays in the county government. He can save face by resigning voluntarily."
"No, sir, you don't know much about Lu Yi. He is definitely not someone who gives up so easily."
"I have the final say in Shanghai North City. I can't tolerate him, so why should he resign obediently? I think he is a smart man. If he leaves at this time, I will still look down upon him."
Gao Yamen looked around and saw no one else. He lowered his voice and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
Lu Yi hummed.
"If I had known earlier, I might as well have followed Lord Qin! Magistrate Zhou and Magistrate Chen are the same as each other. We, the people of Hubei City, may not have a good life in the future."
"No matter what happens, you must stay in the county government and do not leave your job. The two subordinates brought by County Magistrate Zhou are civilians. There is no one to take care of the government officials, so he dare not remove you."
"Master Qin is gone, and you are gone too. What's the point of me being alone?"
"I'll be back." Lu Yi patted Gao Yamen on the shoulder and said no more, "Would you like to come to my house for dinner?"
After Gao Yamen heard what he said, he wanted to ask a few more questions, but he stopped talking and looked mysterious.
However, he probably guessed that Lu Yi had a plan, so he felt less depressed after thinking about it this way.
"Drink! If you don't drink, it's for nothing!"
When Lu Yi took Gao Yamen home, Mu Siyu had just brought out the hot pot.
There were many people today, so she prepared three pots, and each pot had a different taste.
"I'm in a good mood today." Gao Yamen said with a smile.
"Brother Gao, please sit down quickly." Mu Siyu greeted: "Zhiqian, Zisu Ziyuan, help bring out the dishes."
Several people followed Mu Siyu to the kitchen to serve side dishes.
"Brother Xia, you are back!" Gao Yamen patted Xia Kun on the shoulder: "Your wife's eyes..."
"Okay." Xia Kun smiled lightly.
"Oh, am I right? Brother Xia, are you laughing?" Gao Yamen's eyes widened: "Just because of this, we have to drink a few more drinks to celebrate."
"I'll keep you company tonight."
"Okay, it's rare to see you so cheerful. I have to drink all your wine today." Gao Yamen said.
Mrs. Tong said: "An Yu, go to the door and see if your brother and your mother are here?"
"I..." An Yu was quite happy when he mentioned An Yiheng, but when he thought of the Yu family, An Yu was instinctively afraid.
Lu Xuan turned around and said, "Brother An is here."
An Yu looked towards the door.
An Yiheng was seen attending the banquet alone, but Yushi was not seen.
An Yu let out a breath.
"Brother." She greeted him.
An Yiheng saw An Yu and his eyes stayed on her eyes.
Such a pair of smart eyes make the flower-like girl look more youthful and lively, just like the little girl who loved to laugh back then.
How long has it been since he saw An Yu's relaxed smile like this?
"Are you really well?" An Yiheng's voice was trembling.
"I'm fine, brother." An Yu rushed towards An Yiheng.
An Yiheng hugged her tightly: "Father is alive in heaven, and he will be happy for you."
"Um."
"By the way, Mom... Mom is feeling a little uncomfortable today, so she won't come over."
"Is she okay?" An Yu said.
"It's nothing serious," An Yiheng said, "Let's go and talk about your medical visit this time. What did the doctor say? It won't happen again in the future, right?"
Jiang Zhong and others are regular visitors here, and they are very familiar with everyone in the Lu family. The other guys were not comfortable at first, but seeing how easy-going the Lu family brothers were, they quickly relaxed.
The first time Wen Yi saw hot pot, he stood in front of the pot and watched it simmering.
"Curious?" Mu Siyu put the last plate of mutton on the table and asked Wen Yi. "You have a bad stomach. Don't eat the two pots of red. You can only eat this pot of vegetarian. This pot is made of chicken soup.
It’s good for your health.”
"Thank you ma'am."
Lu Yi turned around and saw Wen Yi and Mu Siyu chatting happily. From his perspective, Wen Yi looked gentle, courteous and had a good temperament.
He sent someone to check on Wen Yi, and it turned out that this person's information was clear and there was no problem at all.
He was born into an ordinary poor family. His parents died early, and he was the only one left in the family. Because he was so poor, so poor that he often went hungry.
Everything fits.
But, he always felt that there was something wrong with this person.,
Maybe it's because his temperament is so outstanding that he doesn't look like he comes from an ordinary family.
Whether in modern times or in ancient times, eating hot pot can always bring people closer together.
The meal lasted for three hours, until midnight, and the wine was almost drunk. Several men were staggering around, and the lobby was in a mess.
"Zhiqian, please help Brother Gao to your room to have a rest."
"Don't worry, madam." Lu Zhiqian said: "I will help the master into the room first, and then come back to take care of Gao Yamen."
As for the other guys, Mu Siyu arranged for servants to help them go to the guest room to rest. Because the room was not enough, several grown men shared a room, which was barely enough for one night.
Mu Siyu wiped Lu Yi's cheek with a towel.
"Did something happen today? You and Brother Gao are both worried."
Mu Siyu leaned against the bed and looked at Lu Yi's calm handsome face.
"Sometimes I really want to tell you that we won't do it anymore. If we can live a happy life with this little business now, why should we worry about officialdom, but..."
A big hand grabbed her hand and dragged her to the bed.
"ah……"
She was suppressed by that strong body.
"You're not drunk?"
Lu Yi's eyes were full of meaning: "Madam, do you want to support me?"
Mu Siyu pursed her lips: "Who wants to support you?"
"Madam, you must give birth to me well." Lu Yi gasped into her ear: "I am easy to raise, as long as Madam feeds me."
