Many people gathered on both sides of the streets in Hubei City.
These people came here from all over the country after hearing that Lu Yi and others were returning to the city.
Phew, a purse was thrown at Lu Yi.
The subordinates behind him were all snickering.
Even if he is as serious as Xia Kun, he still has a narrow-minded expression at this time.
Lu Yi threw the purse back to the shy girl.
"I am henpecked, so please ladies please don't harm me again, otherwise I will be punished by my wife again when I go back." Lu Yi cupped his hands and said to the people around him.
"Sir, don't worry, we will definitely not tell Madam." Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.
"That's right, we just keep the purse, we won't tell the lady."
Lu Yi: "..."
This deafening shout could be heard from several streets away. Why don't you tell her? It was obviously because he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
"Why don't you tell me?" Mu Siyu appeared sitting in the carriage.
Everyone shut up.
Mu Siyu had already seen what happened just now, and looked at Lu Yi with a half-smile but not a smile: "Master Lu is so majestic!"
Lu Yi got off the horse and jumped into Mu Siyu's carriage.
Seeing this, Zisu and Ziyuan got out of the carriage very wisely, making room for the couple who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Thank you for your concern for our Lord Lu. Now that he is back, everyone should be busy with their own affairs. Don't delay your own affairs because of him." Mu Siyu said to everyone.
After returning to the county government office, Mu Siyu gave Lu Yi a bath with the mugwort she had prepared.
Lu Yi lay on the bathtub, closing his eyes and enjoying Mu Siyu's care.
Mu Siyu used a homemade bath ball to scrub Lu Yi.
"You've lost so much weight, haven't you eaten well?"
"The number of smallpox patients in Dian Jade City was ten times that of ours in Hubei City. During that time, I was in constant fear every day, so how could I have the appetite to eat?" Lu Yi sighed, "Every day, I was robbing the Lord of Hell for people."
"It's finally okay."
"Yes." Lu Yi turned around and grabbed Mu Siyu's hand. "I heard from Wang Yamen that you have worked hard during this time."
"If you really think I've worked hard, take good care of yourself." Mu Siyu rubbed his chest. "Look at the black spots under your eyes. After washing, go to bed. I'll go settle the others.
."
Under the supervision of Dr. Zhu, everyone changed their clothes when they left Dian Jade City and burned them all. After that, they washed them thoroughly before heading back.
Now back in Hubei City, Mu Siyu ordered everyone to take a bath with mugwort.
The entire yamen is busy with this matter, and other matters have been put on hold for the time being.
"By the way, everyone who comes with us this time will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and then they will have five days off." Mu Siyu said, "Ziyuan, go to the accounting office to withdraw the silver and give it to them."
"Yes, ma'am."
Doctor Zhu and Lu Xuan came over.
Lu Xuan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do I have it?"
"Yes, you have five hundred taels of silver notes." Mu Siyu smiled.
Lu Xuan was just joking at first, but was stunned after hearing Mu Siyu's words.
He touched his head and said confusedly: "Isn't this a bit much? Otherwise, I only need ten taels of silver?"
"What are you thinking about? Tell me how long you have been delayed this time. If you don't rush to the capital, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it in time." Mu Siyu said.
"That's right, Mr. Xuan, you still have to take the scientific examination!" Dr. Zhu said, "We have forgotten about this matter."
"Fortunately, you have such a reliable sister-in-law like me. How could you forget these important things?" Mu Siyu said, "Take a break these two days. I will ask about the caravan again. You and Mr. An will follow the caravan to Beijing.
!”
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Lu Xuan's trip to the capital was quickly decided. He set off five days later. The caravan following him was still familiar, it was the Qin family's caravan. Not only that, Mr. Qin would personally lead the caravan this time.
Lu Yi had never taken a scientific examination, so he specially held a tea party and invited local celebrities to come and exchange experiences.
Perhaps these candidates failed to pass the Jinshi exam after taking many exams, and did not win an official position for themselves, but at least they had experience in scientific examinations, which was always helpful to Lu Xuan and An Yiheng.
After learning that ten of them were also going to the capital for scientific research, Lu Xuan, under Mu Siyu's hint, took the initiative to invite them to go with them, and also offered to ride in the Qin family's motorcade.
These candidates were willing to accept Lu Xuan's kindness and followed this rule to make friends with the Lu Xuan brothers. After all, it was hard to say whether they would pass the exam, but Lu Yi was already the local official and was deeply loved by the people. The only way to make friends with him was to
There are no disadvantages to the benefits.
Lu Yi went to Jiang Mansion to find Mr. Jiang.
Mr. Jiang is using him, and he is taking advantage of Mr. Jiang. This is reasonable.
At night, Mu Siyu sat in front of the dressing table, and Lu Yi wiped her hair.
"You still dare to let my uncle have connections with Mr. Jiang Ge." Mu Siyu said, "This kind of old fox will not suffer. If my uncle passes the exam, aren't you afraid that he will be chewed up by the old fox until all his bones are left?
"
"Jiang Ge is always in Hubei City, and Brother Xuan is my brother. Do you think that if Brother Xuan passes the exam, he can avoid the old fox's spy? Let's not talk about the ordinary Jinshi who are either officials who have been sent abroad in the first few years.
, or stay in the capital as a small official without real power, which is of no use to him at this time. When Lu Xuan passes in a few years, I will have gone to the capital, so naturally I will not let others bully him."
"Are you so confident? It's not easy for a small county magistrate to become a capital official. Even if you have this ambition, you still have to have this opportunity."
"Madam...haven't you been looking for opportunities for me?" Lu Yi lowered his head and kissed her earlobe, "You have created so much momentum for me. If I don't know how to grasp it, wouldn't I be living up to your good intentions?
"
Mu Siyu collapsed in his arms.
It turns out he knows everything.
"Do you think my uncle can pass the exam?"
"I can pass the exam, but my ranking may not be very good." Lu Yi said, "But this is good, so as not to stir up the muddy waters of the capital."
Mu Siyu didn't understand government affairs, but she certainly believed what Lu Yi said.
"lady……"
"Um?"
"I've been quite free recently." Lu Yi kissed her red lips. "Let's have another baby!"
Mu Siyu: "..."
A few days later, Lu Xuan and others boarded a convoy heading to the capital.
Qin Wenhan said: "Master Lu, Madam Lu, just don't worry. I have a separate courtyard in the capital. When the time comes, Second Young Master Lu will just meditate there and study. No one will disturb him."
"Thank you, Mr. Qin." Mu Siyu said, "When you come back from the capital, I will treat you to dinner."
"Then I won't be polite. Manager Zheng has been talking about his wife's craftsmanship all day long. If I have the honor to taste it, I will definitely not be polite to you." Qin Wenhan cupped his hands and got on the carriage.
There is a little follower beside Lu Xuan. This little follower was arranged by Xia Kun. He always has a straight face at a young age and looks like the exact replica of Xia Kun.
"Brother Xia, is this child really not your illegitimate child?" Mu Siyu deliberately teased Xia Kun.
Xia Kun frowned and looked back at An Yu: "Don't listen to her nonsense."
