The prefect of Luohe Prefecture was called Cui Heng. On the tenth day of the lunar month, he was receiving guests. He was startled when he heard the housekeeper say that someone was coming from the palace.
This place is not close to the capital. If you go to Luohe Mansion at this time, you will either have to rush here quickly or you will set off before the Chinese New Year. No matter which one it is, it means there is something important.
"Do you know which father-in-law is here?"
"Young ones don't even know me. I heard people call me Wang Gonggong."
Prince?
There are quite a few people with the surname Wang in this palace, but with this surname alone, I don’t know who they are.
He followed the housekeeper out and was even more shocked when he saw Wang Zhong sitting in the living room drinking tea.
Isn't this Mr. Li's godson?
How could he come?
What an important thing this must be!
He hurried over and saluted: "Your majesty is here, but I am sorry to hear you come from afar. I hope you will forgive me."
"Master Cui, long time no see." Wang Zhong smiled at Cui Heng.
"Long time no see." Wang Zhong responded.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here. Does your Majesty have any decree?" Cui Heng asked when he saw that Wang Zhong did not immediately produce the decree.
"There is a will, but it's not for you." Wang Zhong said.
Cui Heng understood now that Wang Zhong's errand this time had nothing to do with him.
"Your Majesty is tired from traveling and traveling, so I have asked people to prepare a private room. After a while, we will have dinner and rest at home for the night." Cui Heng saw that it was already getting late and knew that they would not set off tonight, so he invited them.
"That's fine. The Za family is in trouble now."
"This is my honor." Cui Heng told the butler, who immediately went to make arrangements.
Cui Heng waited for the housekeeper to leave before saying, "Eunuch Wang is in Luohe Mansion at this time. Aren't you spending all the New Year on the road?"
Wang Zhong knew that he wanted to find out information, so he smiled and said: "The Za family set out on New Year's Eve."
"It's New Year's Eve! What's going on, you want your father-in-law to set off on such a special day?" Cui Heng blurted out, and then realized that he had the intention of exploring the purpose, and quickly said: "I am just too surprised, it's not
I want to find out the meaning of the emperor’s will.”
"It's okay. The Za family came today to tell you this." Wang Zhong said.
Cui Heng was even more surprised. Could this matter be related to him?
Wang Zhong continued to say slowly: "The emperor recognized a folk woman as his adopted daughter, gave him the title of Chang'an County Lord, and a county Lord's mansion. This county Lord's mansion needs Master Cui to assist the Zajia to decide. The Emperor said that it must be
The best mansion in the city."
Even though Cui Heng was well-informed, he never thought that he would hear such words one day.
The emperor adopted a folk woman as his goddaughter?
What kind of plot is this?
"I wonder who that woman...is the county owner?"
"The emperor's decree is secret." Wang Zhong said, "But the emperor said that she still wants to live here, so I can reveal some information to you. Her name is He Yunxi."
If she only knows her name, it will be difficult to find her. But if He Yunxi comes to her, he will be able to understand her identity.
This is the protection and freedom given to He Yunxi.
If she wants, others can know her identity.
Cui Heng had been running the officialdom for so many years, but he didn't understand the emperor's intentions. He immediately became more alert to He Yunxi.
After a night of screening, Cui Heng selected a yard worthy of the title of county master.
The courtyard was left by a wealthy businessman, and it was beautifully built. It was close to the river in the city, and water was brought in. The courtyard was built like a Jiangnan waterside pavilion, with small bridges and flowing water, which was very artistic.
Moreover, the street leading out of the front gate is full of high-status people from the entire Luohe Prefecture. They are either rich or noble. It is basically impossible to live in this street now.
The previous owner of this mansion was implicated in a court case years ago, and the yard was confiscated.
Recently, many people have come to Cui Heng and want to buy this yard. If it weren't for the Chinese New Year and he didn't deal with this matter, the yard might have been sold.
Wang Zhong took a look around. The mansion was very big, but the biggest area was the area of each courtyard. In terms of specifications, it was also a four-in-one courtyard, which matched the status of the county lord.
"Yes, then this is it. The Holy Father has ordered you to find someone to replace the door plaque to make it grand but not high-profile." Wang Zhong said to Cui Heng.
Cui Heng bent down and held his hands in his hands: "I obey your order."
"The Za family has to go on a journey, so we won't go back to the government office." Before leaving, Wang Zhong remembered Pei Yuan's instructions and said, "Master Cui, if the Za family wants to say one more thing, the head of Chang'an County and her husband are both apprentices of General Pei Yuan.
.”
The Pei family was also well-known in the court for protecting shortcomings, and they had a background and power.
If he offends He Yunxi...
Cui Heng shuddered: "Thank you, Eunuch Wang, for informing me. This is a little expense I have prepared for everyone. I hope Eunuch Wang will not dislike it."
As he spoke, he took a purse from the guard and handed it to Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong was not polite, he took the purse, felt the light weight, and the smile on his face became more serious: "Then the Za family will thank Mr. Cui on behalf of everyone."
"You should, you should, and you don't deserve the thanks of the prince." Cui Heng saw that he accepted it, and he felt happy in his heart, "Do you want me to send someone to take you there?"
"No need, it's not too far from here to Liaozhou, it only takes a few days." Wang Zhong said, "We have to go on our way, so we'll leave first."
Although Wang Zhong was an eunuch, he also had some martial arts skills. After several people got on their horses, they immediately galloped out of the city.
After they left, Cui Heng felt sorry for his money for the hundred cars.
That's one hundred taels, and I just changed it to Liaozhou's information.
He Yunxi from Liaozhou, he remembered.
After returning to the government office, he sent someone to Liaozhou City to check He Yunxi. It's no wonder that he set his sights on Liaozhou City. In everyone's opinion, the person who could be adopted by the emperor as his adopted daughter must have some background and ability.
I never thought she would be a village woman.
…
Yesterday, during the opening ceremony, Mrs. Liu also came.
Because of what Lu Yan said, that woman knew they were here, so there was no need to hide them at home. It was better to go outside more often.
Liu thought about it too.
In order not to be discovered, I had been hiding at home for more than ten years and rarely went out, but I was still found.
In this case, why should we hide?
She hadn't seen the outside world for a long time.
After the firecrackers went off, people around noticed that a new store had opened here.
"Lu Ji Seasoning Shop? This sells seasonings?"
"Isn't that right? Isn't it written on the plaque?"
"What does this seasoning have to do with us? Can we still afford it?"
"You're right. This seasoning can't be eaten as rice, so what's so interesting about it."
Lu Yunjiao and the others were in the shop. When they heard the words outside, their eyes filled with deep worry.
What they said is correct. Can this condiment be sold?
