Chapter 719: Ping County

he right to chime in” Ye Wenyan didn't like her habit and retorted immediately: "It was my second brother speaking. How is he considered a younger generation Does Lady Xiao think that my second broth...Guan Bao was absolutely certain and resolute in his decision to follow along. He reiterated his earlier statement: "Live enough, living is all about waiting for the inevitable calamity that will befall us one day. Once that calamity passes, I'll finally be at peace." 。"

Nightingale woke up at the hour of Si (3:00 PM) only to find that she had slept through the entire day. Feng Zhaolian woke up even later than her, and upon realizing she was asleep on Quan Qinghua's leg, she burst out laughing: "Hey! I've fantasized about this for over a decade, and today it finally came true. It wasn't a waste of all that commotion last night!" 。" Quan Qing was speechless. So all this commotion she made was just to take a nap on his lap Couldn't she have done it earlier Ye Wenyan had no energy or appetite. Jie Duya and Yun Xiao had gone out early to hunt wild chicken and rabbit, built a fire, and cooked them, but she couldn't stomach a bite. 。Shi Liyuan urged her to eat something, but she was helpless and could only nibble on the last steamed bun from last night. 。But he only chewed two or three bites before he couldn't swallow anymore. 。Shi Liyuan didn't try to persuade her much, knowing what kind of trouble she was in and feeling helpless. He could only wait until midnight tonight when everything would be fine. 。I wanted to stay in this dilapidated temple for a while longer, but Ye Wen disagreed. She took advantage of the fact that it wasn't raining today and hurried on her way, hoping to reach the next town before dark. There she could rest properly and restock. 。He thought it made sense, so he cast a spell of sleep on her. As the girl's eyes fluttered closed in a daze, he scooped her up horizontally and strode out of the dilapidated temple. 。Feng Zhaolian looked at that with envy, "Finding a man is still about finding a physically strong one. Look at how he's carrying her, like she's a little chick." 。"

Quan Qing lowered his head to look at himself, then at her. He thought to himself, "Hugging you is like hugging a chick. Should I try it"

But he didn't say anything, after all, he had never done this before, and he had never said such things. " 。He doesn't consider himself a person who enjoys joking very much, nor is he accustomed to expressing many emotions outwardly. But in his understanding, the Emperor doesn't seem like that kind of person either. 。So he felt that he still needed to reflect and also need to adapt more to this so-called new life. 。Because Ye Wen was ill and couldn't use his spiritual power, Shi Lifen took over the task of filling the tubes. 。He was crueler than Ye Wenyan. At least Ye Wenyan only shrunk him to the size of a basin and put him in a storage bracelet, giving him some flower nectar to eat. 。Shi Liyuan directly shrunk it into a palm-sized treasure and then gave it to Feng Zhaolian to play with. 。At this moment, Guan Bao was held in the palm of Feng Zhao Lian's hand. She poked its face one moment and tugged its tail the next. Whenever it tried to withdraw its head and limbs into its shell, Feng Zhao Lian would say, "If you dare to retreat, when Ayan is better I'll have her fry you." 。Guan Bao was very afraid of Ye Wen, in its eyes, Ye Wen was just like its former master Yan Budu. 。So Feng Zhaolian threatened it like this, and it became scared, resigned to being played with, resigned to watching Feng Zhaolian flirt with Quan Qing while playing with it. It was so well-fed, it even burped. 。Shi Liyuan also thought, aren't your eyes broken But he was too lazy to care, because he felt that whether or not they were broken had nothing to do with him. 。As long as Ye Wen has no problems with the night temperature, there's no one in this world who deserves his extra care. 。Two carriages then traveled for another five li, and finally arrived in Ping County. 。It's actually not that far from Xiushan County to Ping County, by normal air travel it takes only about two hours at most. 。Otherwise, the Ye family members wouldn't have been saved by the Jiang family near Xiushan back then. 。However, it has been raining these days, sometimes heavy, sometimes light. As the carriage reached the second hour, the heaviest rain of all came down, as if a crack had opened in the sky. The rain poured like a flood from that opening, directly destroying a section of the official road. 。As the rain intensified, Shi Lifeng and Ye Wenyan's spiritual powers were increasingly suppressed. When the official road was washed out, Ye Wenyan's spiritual power was so suppressed that he couldn't even open his storage bracelet. Even when he clutched the already prepared flowers, he still couldn't cast any spells. 。Fortunately, Shi Liyuan could still barely cast a spell to stabilize the two carriages, preventing them from sinking into the collapsed mud. 。But this technique is not very helpful for damaged official roads, so they could only take a detour. 。Thus, by the fifth hour of the afternoon, we finally arrived at Ping County. 。After several hours, he arrived at the Ping County Ye family in advance to notify the patriarch. 。He didn't mention Shi Lifen coming either, only his fourth sister arrived, and she brought a distinguished guest. Please ask the Ye family to get ready to welcome them. 。The village chief, Ye Feng, was a shrewd man. Upon hearing that his fourth sister had arrived with a distinguished guest, the first thought that crossed his mind was Lord Emperor. 。So he immediately rushed to the county government office, telling County Magistrate Luo Yuchun about what Ye Wen had said and his own speculations. 。Luo Yu-Chun, being a shrewd man, immediately told Ye Feng upon hearing this: "Regardless of whether the Emperor arrives or not, we must prepare to receive him." 。Because even an empress dowager is greater than the emperor, how could Ping County dare to be disrespectful”

So Luo Yuchun took the lead, bringing a group of officials, plus Ye Feng, the patriarch of the Ye family, and Elder Mrs. Jiang, as well as the numerous descendants of the Ye family, all arrived at the city gate early in the morning>>> 。Ping County also built walls, but they were not high and lacked the grandeur of Xiushan County. The gatekeepers did not treat this place as a city either, still remembering that this was just a county town. 。The city walls were built during the previous emperor's reign. This was because Ping County had the ancestral graves of the Ye family, who had served the dynasty with distinction for generations. The ancestral graves needed to be protected, and over the past few decades, the imperial court had thoroughly investigated every household in Ping County, tracing their lineage back three generations. 。What worries me is that someone with ill intentions might be lurking here, harming the Ye family and thus affecting General Ye's military campaign abroad. 。When Ye Wen and his group arrived, they saw a group of people standing at the entrance of the county town. They were lined up in an orderly manner. Even though their clothes and shoes were soaked from the rain, they didn't show any annoyance. They only had expectant expressions on their faces. Some children even kept jumping up and looking into the distance. When they saw a large carriage coming this way, they cheered happily. 。Ye Wen didn't know if it was a child of the Ye family because besides the patriarch Ye Feng, she didn't recognize anyone else. 。And among those who came out to greet him, there were clearly many commoners who had come spontaneously, each holding an umbrella or wearing a raincoat, standing merrily. 。Ping County has a much better atmosphere than Xiushan County, and even better than the inner city of Lin'an. 。She arrived at her destination, raised the curtain of the carriage to get down, when Ye Feng immediately ran forward: “Don’t get down yet, it’s raining heavily outside and the ground is covered in mud. You stay inside the carriage, let’s go home first then…” 。Then, leading the crowd of greeters, they rushed towards the carriage, bowing and shouting: "Long live the Emperor and Empress!"They were about to kneel when Ye Wen quickly said, “I won’t get out of the carriage, and you don’t have to kneel either. We are all on the same principle.” 。The road is difficult to walk, I apologize for keeping you all waiting. 。He spoke, his eyes drifting towards Luo Yuchun. 。

Luo Yuchun was dressed in official robes, very recognizable. She addressed Luo Yuchun: "Are you the county magistrate of Ping County No need for ceremony, let's talk later

Thank you for coming to pick me up, and thank you to the people who came running. 。Please all go back first. It's not good to stay out in the cold and rain, you might catch a chill. I'll write a prescription and give it to the county magistrate later. If any of you get sick, follow the prescription and have the medicine shop keep track of the cost. The Night House will reimburse you all together later. 。When people heard this, they were delighted. People who had a good heart laughed and said: "It's nothing, Fourth Sister, don't worry that we don't have money to see a doctor. Ping County has a lot of land, every household has good farmland, and life is good! Getting a little wind chill isn't enough to be looked down upon" 。Fourth Sister's return brings joy to our hearts. We wanted to come take a look and make sure she was alright. Now we can rest assured seeing her here. 。You better go home soon, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. Let's wait until after it clears up and then we can go to the gate of Ye Mansion together to pay our respects to Fourth Sister. 。"Yeah, yeah. If it's sunny tomorrow, we definitely have to kowtow to the fourth sister." 。Sister Four is truly impressive. I thought that the Ye family's generations serving the country and making achievements was already a brilliant peak. 。I never expected Fourth Sister to actually marry the Emperor and become the future Empress. This is truly great news for our Ping County! 。"Yes, it's not just a happy event for the Ye family, but also a happy event for Ping County." 。"When Fourth Sister gets married to the Emperor, our Ping County will definitely have a grand banquet for three days, inviting all guests who frequent Ping County to celebrate with Fourth Sister and the Emperor!" "Hurry up and make way! Fourth Sister is still under the carriage curtain, getting drenched in the rain. Don't let her catch a cold!" 。" The people of Ping County were genuine and heartwarmingly cheerful. There wasn't too much tension or flattery, just like chatting with family, welcoming someone home after a long absence. "。Even the county magistrate Luo Yu-chun said, "Right, right, all get out of the way and make room! Hey, Lao Zhang's family, please move those two baskets of eggs. Sister Four doesn't need that much from you anyway." 。And those holding cabbages, that's enough. That's enough. The night family has more things stored up than you guys. Hurry and take them all back. 。This continuous rain, has the vegetable patch flooded Or perhaps store some at home! Just in case you run out of food and have to rely on your neighbors for help again. 。People burst into laughter, and some even made jokes about the county magistrate. He was always pointing out people's flaws and didn't seem to care about giving his subordinates any face. 。Ye Wen thought the atmosphere was quite pleasant. This also showed that the Ye family's business in Ping County over the years had been positive, at least they hadn't done what the Jiang family did, turning a county, even the entire Jinzhou Prefecture, into a chaotic mess. 。She lowered the curtains, the carriage moved slowly forward. Officials and commoners along the way lined up to escort the carriage, laughing and chattering, making quite a lively scene. 。Even though it was raining outside and they had been waiting for several hours, their enthusiasm remained undiminished. 。Quan Qinghua said to her: "Ping County is indeed a place that can put your mind at ease, and because of Ping County, De'an Prefecture has been doing better in recent decades." 。to such an extent that all the officials in De'an Prefecture were unwilling to be promoted, even if they had the opportunity to serve in the capital, they would not be willing. They just wanted to stay in this place, relying on the protection of the Ye family to securely hold their official positions. 。Moreover, the court was also reluctant to frequently change officials in De'an Prefecture. Therefore, for decades, there had been no other forms of transfer unless an official retired and returned home. 。He arrived here, paused for a moment, and after a long silence, he continued, "There was also a major event that happened in Ping County one year..."ly just became clear to me, so I'm only cooperating with my mother on this today. 。Mother is gone, perhaps some who participated in that affair are still alive for the time being, such as Empress Li a...
