NFBE Chapter 172: Farewell in this Era
Chapter 172: Farewell in this Era
……
She also received a letter from Guo Ziheng.
I didn’t expect that she also has a pen pal here. It feels very novel.
Guo Ziheng said that he became the top scholar, but he was not happy. He would rather be the second Guo, although everyone knows that he is still the second.
He felt that he was the top scholar with the least sense of presence in all dynasties.
The emperor stripped the fourth prince of his title of top scholar, then posted an explanation next to the imperial edict.
It is said that the royal family does not occupy the quota for the Spring Examination. Fortunately, I got first place, so there is no need to disrupt the original order. I can just move up the order directly...
So his first place was not justified.
He would rather be second.
Li Jiaojiao realized from Guo Ziheng's letter that many of the words he didn't directly say were quite dirty...
Then, he explained his current job position, which is in the Ministry of Personnel.
Li Jiaojiao could see that the six departments in Daqing were quite short of people.
He also told Meng Siyuan the same thing.
It's all about refugees from the capital moving to Yuncheng.
On the one hand, there were already people from Yuncheng there. When they learned that their hometown was doing well and the capital was not accepting them, they naturally wanted to go back.
On the other hand, there are indeed a lot fewer people in Yuncheng this time, and there is a policy from above that the people of Yuncheng will be exempted from taxes for three years.
The higher-ups support refugees settling in Yuncheng.
So I walked around most of the areas around the capital.
This time, he left in a clean manner, but I am afraid that he may have planted some seeds of resentment in the hearts of some kind-hearted people.
All the time I spent cooking the porridge was wasted.
Guo Ziheng is very sharp.
Zhiyan guessed that the Princess of Qingyang hated her and told her to be careful.
The other party should regard her as someone who is competing with her for the hearts and minds of the people and fame.
You have taken away her reputation and the support of the people. Given that the Right Prime Minister in the court is vindictive and ruthless, it is unlikely that the daughter you brought up would change.
Girl, please be more careful when you return to Beijing to attend the banquet.
After all, women's affairs are sometimes difficult.
……
Guo Ziheng wrote a whole article complaining about it.
But there is no mention of his family.
Li Jiaojiao looked up at the tree in the yard.
When the wind blew, two leaves fell down. They shouldn't fall in this season, as everything should be thriving at this time of year.
The matter of visiting Guo Ziheng's family should be put on the agenda.
The ancients were sometimes pedantic. Even though they were obviously very anxious, they would still hesitate to speak.
Just like Guo Ziheng's letter, it seemed that he regarded himself as her man, and he spoke without any excessive scruples, which was much more direct than Meng Siyuan who took many detours.
But he didn't say what he cared about most.
Maybe it's fear. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
But things have to be faced.
Now that Guo Ziheng is his own person, then Guo Ziheng's family is also his own person.
We must do our best to protect our own people. The road ahead is still long, and of course the more teammates the better.
There is strength in numbers.
Just like the country in her previous life, there were so many people that a single spit from each person could flood a nearby island country.
Come on.
努力让我方队友+1+1+1，敌人-99 -99 -99。
……
Li Jiaojiao sat in the yard drinking tea.
In my heart, I was already recalling the novels I had read in my previous life.
After returning to Beijing, she will most likely fight against white lotus and green tea bitch, but she may also be a noble lady who has been carefully cultivated by the family for generations, with a hundred eyes...
It seems like I can't play the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting...
How to show talents at a party?
Where is Guo Ziheng's home?
Lu Liang must be keeping an eye on this matter. Alas, there are so few people he can use.
It also depends on men.
I'll make him a cup of succulent grapes later to please him.
……
There wasn't much stuff to begin with, so I packed it up quickly.
All the subordinates and servants came to invite their masters to get on the carriage.
When Minister Lin left, he finally said what he had said before: "County Lady, please lend me the mahjong for a few days after you return to Beijing. I will make two copies and give you one set as a thank you gift, okay?"
Li Jiaojiao blinked: "Master Lin, what do you think? Can we sell mahjong in Beijing? Can we open a mahjong parlor? Is gambling prohibited in Beijing?"
Minister Lin’s eyes lit up: …Young people have sharp brains and they feel their wallets are +1+1+1.
Crowd:…
Get in the car, the sound of ruts gurgles.
The carriage began to move.
Li Jiaojiao kicked off her shoes, lay down on her main seat, pulled the curtains, and prepared to take a nap.
I adjusted my posture and was about to fall asleep when the carriage stopped.
Li Jiaojiao opened her eyes and asked what was wrong?
Qingdai, who was driving outside, replied: "Miss, there are people blocking the road."
Li Jiaojiao felt relieved. She had done nothing wrong in Yuncheng, so it must be the people who came to see her off.
She stood up, opened the curtain, walked to the side, and raised her hand to open the curtain.
The streets outside were crowded with common people. Some were holding sachets, some were holding bunches of green vegetables, some were carrying game, some were holding puppets, some were holding firewood, and some were holding cattail leaf fans...
No one was empty-handed, no matter old or young, everyone had something in their hands, more or less, and everyone took something.
"Sir, county lady, take it with you, it will be useful on the road."
"County Master, sir, this is a gift from us, please accept it."
"County Master, sir, if you have the chance, come back to Yuncheng and visit us. We will always be here."
"County Master, Your Excellency..."
The children were sobbing, the women were wiping their tears, and the men and the elderly also had tears in their eyes.
Yun Yingjie and Yun Haiqing, along with people from the County Magistrate's Office, stood in the middle of the crowd, carrying several large umbrellas.
The umbrella is made of red and yellow gauze, which is colorful and eye-catching.
The umbrella cover is decorated with the four directions and eight trigrams, with patterns of "peace and prosperity for the country", "good weather and good harvests", "good luck in all seasons" and "good harvests".
Below that, there are densely packed ink-colored fonts.
Everyone made way.
Yun Haiqing brought a man carrying a big umbrella to the window of the carriage.
"Today, the Ten Thousand People Umbrella is not to keep you here, but to thank the county lady for protecting the people of Yuncheng. Everyone in Yuncheng, young or old, has a name. Yuncheng will never forget the county lady's kindness."
"Thank you, County Lord, for protecting Yuncheng..."
The crowd of people knelt down together.
Li Jiaojiao felt a soreness in her chest, a dry throat, and tears in her eyes, and she couldn't utter a word.
She seems to have done a lot, but for what she has, she actually hasn’t done much.
She came to Yuncheng on orders, and many of her thoughts were random, and she was even more in a playful mood.
Another part was her awe for traveling through the space courtyard.
The space of the courtyard will become larger because of the food taking root, and the well water will become a spiritual spring because of saving people.
This all hinted to her that she should do something right.
But she didn't know how far she should go, so she could only try step by step.
To put it bluntly, she did it for herself.
However, the other party had too little, and she only gave a little, but the other party was already grateful.
It may also be because when she gave, it was a timely help.
……
The crowd did not continue to stop the carriage, but silently made way for a way out of the city.
Several carriages came out from the County Magistrate's Mansion, loaded with umbrellas and other things in the hands of the people, and followed behind the team...
Li Jiaojiao looked back from a distance and saw that everyone was following the carriage silently.
Followed for a very long way.
……
She drew the curtain of the main seat.
Covered myself.
Her nose felt sore.
The farewell in this era is a real farewell. The transportation is slow, the road is long, and the farewell is forever.
So I am afraid of separation, and I want to send you off very far before we part...
