Thinking of this, Chaoyan was so stressed that he couldn't stop laughing, and looked up at Qin Zheng: "Brother, tell me...does this Master Jia want to retaliate against me for disrupting his piano playing? If I unfortunately die tragically in Chengyang, you
You must avenge me!"
"Don't talk nonsense, what do you think of your husband?" After hearing this, Qin Zheng flicked a small chestnut on her forehead and continued to walk forward. He took two steps, but stopped again and looked back at Yu.
Chaoyan hesitated, "Little fool, don't worry, you are my conferred Princess Chaoyan, no one dares to do anything to you."
"Okay..." Chaoyan had no choice but to nod his head, and Qin Zheng smiled: "Okay, that's right."
"What a cruel brother!" Chaoyan added slowly. Qin Zheng then knocked her on the head, "Next time you speak, don't gasp!"
So, before dawn the next day, Chao Yan got into the carriage, and with the support of his attendants who were shouting in front of him, he followed Jia Fu to Chengyang to take up his post.
Fortunately, the Imperial Capital was not too far from Chengyang, so we kept going all the way and finally reached it before the sun set.
Before approaching the gate of Chengyang City, he heard the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers in the distance. Chaoyan curiously opened the curtains on the carriage and looked outside, only to see a group of officials and wealthy businessmen.
They were already waiting in a crowd outside the city gate, and there were many actors and other people playing gongs and drums on both sides of the street, looking like they had been waiting for a long time.
"We respectfully welcome the princess, Lord Chengyang Ling!"
When the officials and wealthy businessmen saw Chaoyan and Jia Fu's chariots and horses coming, they all knelt down and shouted in unison.
Chaoyan slowly walked out of the carriage with the support of two maids, got off the ground, looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Jia Fu who was standing aside with a dull expression, feeling a little at a loss.
What should I do? It’s my first time to be a princess with such status. In heaven, I only serve the Queen Mother. This is my first time to be a master!
"Princess, please tell me that it will be better if you are flat." Jia Fu, who was standing by, saw through her uneasiness and confusion, and reminded her in a low voice.
"Oh, you... ahem, please get down flat!" Chaoyan immediately said in a pretentious manner.
"Thank you, Princess!" Those people responded loudly together, and then stood up.
"Princess, Your Majesty Chengyang Ling." An official extended his hand to invite you, "You two have come a long way, and it's been a long and tiring journey. Fortunately, I have prepared a banquet at Qingyunzhai, and I hope that Princess and Cheng will
Mr. Yang ordered us to enjoy the scenery and have a small gathering."
"Princess Princess, I have also prepared a banquet here. Please enjoy it with your Majesty the Princess..."
"Princess Princess..."
"Princess..." The wealthy businessmen on the side also hurriedly came forward to invite her. Their enthusiastic invitations made Chaoyan a little overwhelmed.
"Everyone, please stay!" Jia Fu excused himself and took a step forward to block Chao Yan, seemingly inadvertently, separating her from the officials and merchants. He declined and said, "Your kindness is appreciated by the princess. However, the county
The Lord has come a long way, so he is inevitably tired and needs a good rest. If you have anything to do, let’s talk about it another day. Everyone, please come back!”
After saying this, he dismissed everyone, mounted his horse again, ordered people to help Chao Yan get back into the carriage, and went directly to the Chengyang City Yamen.
"Sir, why should we reject them?" After settling down, Chaoyan sat under the oil lamp in the living room and asked while nibbling dry cakes and stir-fried cabbage, "These people are kind enough to invite us to dinner.
, why don’t we go?”
"Princess, who do you think these people are?" Jia Fu took a few hasty bites, then spread out the white paper on the table next to him, polished his pen, and didn't know what he was writing.
"Of course these...are all local officials and wealthy businessmen!" Chaoyan thought for a while and said.
"Then the princess thinks, why do these officials and rich people want to entertain us?" Jia Fu began to write quickly, without raising his head.
"This... I didn't know. It couldn't be their practice, right?" Chaoyan lowered his head thoughtfully. He suddenly figured it out and put down his chopsticks in disappointment, "It turns out that I really treated myself like a green onion.
Although I am the princess, I have neither achievements nor real power, and I don’t understand politics. How could these businessmen and businessmen not understand the truth? To put it bluntly, I am just a student who accompanies the prince to study, and these people really want to entertain him.
In fact, it is sir. However, this kind of banquet is not free."
"Princess, you are so smart..." After hearing this, Jia Fu raised his head and glanced at her, as if he was praising her.
"Ah? Sir, are you praising me?" Chaoyan was overjoyed after hearing this. The dignified official Di Saturn actually praised me! This is one of the most talented gods in the heaven! Am I really very smart?
"Please, please praise me more! Sir, I like to hear people praise me, especially for a genius like you!" She forgot about hunger in joy, ran to Jia Fu's table and looked at him, clasping her hands tightly.
He put his little fist on his chest and said excitedly.
"Haha... Princess, you are so cute." Jia Fu smiled and reached out to touch her bun-knotted head, "Are you tired? Princess, please take a rest."
"Uh...did I disturb you again..." Seeing the unfinished things on his desk, Chaoyan had to get up and leave his desk, and said with some reluctance: "Then I'm going to bed. Don't be too busy, sir."
If you are too tired, go to bed early."
Jia Fu smiled at her, said nothing, and continued to immerse himself in writing.
Chao Yan returned to her bedroom, she giggled excitedly and touched the area of her head that Jia Fu had touched. She giggled for a while. The maids serving her couldn't help but asked strangely: "Princess Princess"
, you have been here touching your head and laughing all the time, what’s wrong?”
"Do you know? There is the smartest star official, oh, no, the smartest sage praised me for being smart!" Chaoyan said to them excitedly, "This is the first time that someone has praised me since I can remember.
Smart! And it’s praised by such a smart person, what does that mean?”
"Tell me, what does that mean?" The maids looked at each other, not understanding what she was going to say.
"It shows that I am indeed a smart person!" Chaoyan sat on the bed with satisfaction, "I will wake up laughing in my dreams tonight."
…
Jia Fu finished writing the piece of paper, stamped it with his official seal of Chengyang, handed it to a government official and said: "Tomorrow, ask the clerks to make a few more copies of this announcement, and then post it in pieces, so that everyone in Moyang can
Officials and people, no matter in the streets or alleys, or in remote villages, must be able to see everything."
So, the next day, the people in Chengyang City all saw the announcement issued by the newly appointed Chengyang Order to govern Chengyang City.
Most of the people are illiterate, and naturally there are those sour scholars who have read some books and are literate. They come out and shake their heads and chant and show off, and read to the vast number of illiterate people. I only heard the announcement saying:
'I have found out that there are vicious people in Chengyang who are ignoring the king's law and running rampant in the countryside. The thieves are rampant and the people are uneasy. From now on, anyone who steals people's fields, robs people's wives, children, etc. should be returned immediately. If you dare to disobey,
, once verified, depending on the seriousness of the case, the person's inherent assets will be confiscated, the victim's losses will be compensated, or other heavy fines will be imposed. Anyone who is idle, does not do his job, steals by rats and dogs, and disturbs public order should surrender immediately and return to his hometown.
Otherwise, depending on the seriousness of the case, he will be punished with corvee or imprisonment to compensate for his crime. I encourage men to farm and women to weave, to be diligent and responsible, to promote good relations with neighbors, and to respect teachers and education. Those with outstanding achievements will be commended.'
