Xu Chunjun and the others walked all the way, roughly looking at these counties in Chenzhou.

When they arrived at the county government office, Ziling and the others had already packed everything up.

"This mansion is quite impressive." Zheng Wuji looked at it, and said with a smile, "I still won't go in."

Opposite the government office was a big pagoda tree that was 400 years old, Zheng Wuji ordered people to put two chairs and a small table under the tree.

Then he took Xu Chunjun to drink tea together.

Before a cup of tea was finished, the housekeeper of Huaiyang Prince's Mansion rushed over with people.

Zheng Wuji and Xu Chunjun looked at each other and smiled.

"My lord's ear report is really fast." Zheng Wuji muttered in a low voice and stood up.

The housekeeper of Huaiyang Prince's Mansion is also 50 years old, wearing a smoky blue straight gown, with kind and shrewd eyes.

"The young ones are late to greet you, Lord Zhizhou, forgive me!" The steward crossed his hands and bowed respectfully, "The villain's name is Yao Yi, and he is the steward of the Huaiyang Palace."

"Housekeeper Yao, don't need to be too polite," Zheng Wuji smiled, with a very kind attitude, "I'm going to tidy up with my wife, and I'm going to visit the palace. Who would have thought that you would come here first."

"The villain was ordered by my lord to pay tribute to my lord and his wife." Yao Yi spoke impeccably, "My lord and my wife have worked hard all the way, so it's time to take a rest. The lord said that you can't work on the two of you, please take government affairs as your main priority." .”

"Your Majesty is very grateful for your generosity, so let's go to the Palace to pay respects to the Lord after I finish handing over.

Please ask steward Yao to pass on his thanks to the lord, and forgive me for being rude. "Zheng Wuji didn't mean anything when he talked about face.

"Your Excellency is too polite," Yao Yi said while returning the salute, "The prince and concubine also ordered the younger one to bring some gifts. A small gift is not a respect, and I hope to accept it."

Six servants followed him, each holding a box in his hand.

"I'm really terrified," Zheng Wuji said while still looking at the gifts, "I'm really ashamed to receive it..."

"Your Excellency, you don't have to worry, this gift is for Madam." Yao Yi interrupted Zheng Wuji with a smile, "Don't dare to hinder your honor, besides, it's really not a valuable thing."

"Then Ma'am, look..." Zheng Wuji looked at Xu Chunjun.

Xu Chunjun smiled and said: "Although I feel ashamed, it's really unfair.

Thank you, Prince and Concubine, for accepting the gift from the Palace before we even met.

My adults and I will definitely pay a visit someday. "

Butler Yao beamed at the gift Xu Chunjun accepted.

After saying a few more words, he put down the gift before taking the person away.

Zheng Wuji has been sending them far away, always with a smile on his face.

Zi Ling and A'Ban stood far away, watching Zheng Wuji and Yao Yi talking attentively.

Zi Ling half-covered her mouth and said: "Looking at our uncle's appearance, those who don't know think he is a corrupt official."

A'Ban laughed and said, "How can you say that about Master."

After Yao Yi and the others had gone far away, Zheng Wuji took Xu Chunjun's hand into the government office.

The gifts from Huaiyang Palace were also brought in.

Xu Chunjun asked Ziling to open them one by one.

"Oh! What a precious gift." Zheng Wuji glanced at him and said, "It's the King of Huaiyang after all, what a great gift."

"Only these things, the butler still said they were small gifts," Xu Chunjun shook his head and said with a smile, "I have registered them all, and kept them one by one."

"People from Huaiyang Palace came today, it's a courtesy and a test." Zheng Wuji touched his chin and said, "If we don't accept this gift, it will be tantamount to declaring that we are incompatible with it."

Zheng Wuji and Xu Chunjun had already discussed it when they were on the road, and King Huaiyang naturally knew that they belonged to the emperor, or thought they were from Cen Yunchu.

It is natural to be wary of them.

And Zheng Wuji is new here, it's best not to make the situation too rigid.Otherwise, no matter what you want to do, you must be controlled by others everywhere.

Therefore, it is best to let King Huaiyang and others feel that although Zheng Wuji was sent down by the emperor in name, he is not monolithic.

If they win over with all their heart, it is still possible to drag him into the water.

As long as they have this thought, Zheng Wuji will be much easier to handle.

True or false, false or true, at least these people will not let these people isolate him on the bright side.

But it can't be too much, Huaiyang Wang is old and cunning, if it is too abnormal, it will definitely arouse his suspicion.

So today the housekeeper of the palace came to give the gift, Zheng Wuji apparently refused to accept it, but let Xu Chunjun accept it.

It is tantamount to implying that King Huaiyang is actually greedy, but because of face, it is not good to be too explicit.

All the gifts from King Huaiyang will be accepted in the future, but no matter how big or small, all gifts must be registered and recorded, then sealed and handed over to the court at that time.

"We don't bring enough people," Xu Chunjun called Zi Ling over after tidying up a bit, "You and A'Ban recruit a few more, and we need two wives to cook and buy vegetables. We have to add more." two girls.

You don’t need too many people, the key is to choose honest, loyal and quick-witted people. "

The yamen is at the front, and they are in the backyard, so they don't need too many people.

Zi Ling agreed and said: "I have also been walking around the street these two days, and there are several decent dental shops.

In addition, there are two tea stalls that also introduce helpers to the customers. I ask around and choose a few suitable ones. "

Xu Chunjun has nothing to worry about when Ziling handles affairs. When he was in the capital, Ziling was in charge of most of the affairs in the mansion.

"I'll take a look at the things we brought back later, and prepare some gifts for the King of Huaiyang." Xu Chunjun said again, "Ask someone to go to the street to buy a fresh fish and come back. My lord wants to drink fish soup, tell me It's been two days."

"It's not early at this time, it's really time to prepare lunch." Ziling looked at the shadow of the sun outside the window and said, "The lotus pods here are just right, I asked them to stop by and buy a few back, girls always like to eat."

After Zi Ling went out, Zheng Wuji stretched his waist and said: "There is still a while before eating, you should lie down and rest.

The carriages and horses have been bumpy these past few days. I think you often rub your waist, so you must be tired. "

"Except for going to Beijing that year, I have never traveled such a long way." Xu Chunjun smiled and said, "Even going to Beijing from Siyuan is not as far away as this time."

"It was spring when you came to Beijing that year, and the weather was more pleasant than this time." Zheng Wuji said distressedly, "It was really hard work to accompany me around for such a big circle."

"You and I are husband and wife, it's too polite to say this." Xu Chunjun smiled.

"I remember that year when my aunt came to my house and said that she had a fancy marriage for me." Zheng Wuji couldn't help laughing when he recalled the past, "I still thought at that time, how could a country girl from somewhere restrain me? Mustang.

Who would have thought that I was subdued willingly now, thanks to what my aunt said at the time, otherwise I would still be muddleheaded and achieve nothing. "
