The lady may not be human

Dong Nuan packed everything up, and only waited for the next day before heading back to Jing County.

As a result, in the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door of the mansion.

"Uncle, Mrs. Cao, it's gone." It was a servant of Cao's mansion who came to report the news. After entering, he said in a sad voice.

When Dong Nuan heard it, he was taken aback for a moment, but after he realized it, his brows and eyes drooped slightly, revealing a sad expression.

It's not that she is really sad, but that she always has a little bit of playfulness in front of people.

Otherwise, it is not good to pass it back and be heard by others.

In fact, Dong Nuan doesn't have much affection for Mrs. Cao.

At first, she might have liked her, but since the incident with Mrs. Zheng, Dong Nuan has basically kept her distance from Mrs. Cao.

Fortunately, she followed Hanjiang Tower to Jing County soon, so she didn't have to stay in the capital anymore, she had to entertain her when she had nothing to do.

When she came back now, she was seriously ill, so she went back to Xiaowan Village by herself.

Dong Nuan also went to Cao Mansion to say goodbye yesterday, saying that he was going back to Jing County.

The old lady fell asleep, and Dong Nuan only looked outside for a while, then left without seeing her face to face.

Now that there is no need to see each other again, Yin and Yang are separated forever.

"Understood." Dong Nuan responded in a low voice, and then signaled the maid to start preparations.

She is the foster daughter of the Cao Mansion, so when she hears the news, she has to say something.

Although she is already a married woman, but the distance is close, and the first time she hears the news, she must have to go back to the Cao Mansion overnight.

My own trip back to Jing County will also have to be delayed for a few days.

Dong Nuan simply tidied up, changed into plain clothes, and then asked the coachman to drive the carriage to Cao's Mansion overnight.

At this moment, there were footsteps in Cao's house and suppressed crying.

After Dong Nuan came over, she first met Mrs. Cao, who was too busy, so she only exchanged a few simple greetings with Dong Nuan, and then turned her head to arrange other matters.

Dong Nuan didn't need much help, because she had been away from Beijing for a long time and didn't know much about the affairs of the Cao Mansion, so if she started at this time, it might be a disservice to her.

After a while, the daughters of Cao's family who were married out came back to the house one after another.

Except for Cao Xinyao, who was farthest away, who couldn't come back for the time being, everyone else came back.

Everyone gathered together, all of them were wiping away their tears. Dong Nuan saw them crying, and she followed suit.

The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, the Cao Mansion had hung up white lanterns, and at the same time notified relatives and friends.

The prefect of Cao, who is far away in Liangzhou, probably won't be able to come back even if he rushes on.

The main reason is that the old lady's situation has dragged on for more than a month. At first, Zhifu Cao came back to serve the sick, but later found that there was nothing wrong. As a prefect, he also had a lot of things, so he went back.

Who would have thought?
After dragging for a month or so, I couldn't hold it anymore.

Mrs. Cao's funeral went on for three days, and on the morning of the third day, she was officially buried and entered the Cao family's ancestral grave.

Sure enough, Zhifu Cao didn't come back in time, but if he wanted to hurry up, he could come back to give the old lady a first seven.

Dong Nuan also planned to wait for the old lady to leave after her first seven days.

After all, it's not too short of a few days.

Because it was a nonsense matter, Dongnuan did not act in a high-profile manner. The affairs in the village were only reported by the servants below, and she did not go to see them in person.

However, the harvest was good, much richer than last year.

Of course, Dongnuan's income has naturally increased.

Before Mrs. Cao's first seven days, the magistrate Cao finally rushed back.

After the first seven days, Dong Nuan returned to Jing County, Cao Zhifu and the others...

Well, Mr. Cao and Zhifu Cao will most likely want Ding You.

Within three years, everyone has to keep their filial piety.

However, grandchildren have little influence.

As for what will happen in three years, who can say for sure?

After Dong Nuan said goodbye to everyone in the Cao Mansion, she set off for Jing County.

She was afraid that if she didn't leave, she would have other matters and delay it.

Fortunately, there were no other surprises this time.

Even so, it was already the beginning of November when we returned to Jing County.

Fortunately, the temperature in Jing County is good. Even in November, the temperature is at most lower than in summer, but it is still as warm as spring.

Bidongnuan, the city I passed along the way, is much more comfortable.

In Jing County, this year is naturally a bumper harvest.

Because of land reclamation, because of the improvement of seeds, and the promotion of self-made fertilizer.

The harvest in Jing County made the other counties cry.

Not to mention the other counties in Lizhou, Hezhou and Duanzhou, after hearing the news, they all burst into tears.

Then, the prefects and county magistrates in these places began to think of ways to get closer to the prefect Xu.

They have no way to talk to Hanjiang Tower directly, so they can only rely on Xu Zhifu to pull the line.

Of course, the main reason is that Xu Zhifu, as the upper peak of Hanjiang Tower, should be able to help persuade a few things, right?
Who wouldn't want to increase production?
The people's lives are better, the local economy will be driven, and the prefectures and county governments will be fattened up.

Who doesn't want to have a better life?

Even if they are corrupt officials, they have to improve the economy below, so that they can be more corrupt.

Otherwise, you won't be able to squeeze out the oil and water in the remote mountains and remote areas!

When Dongnuan came back, Hanjiang Tower was busy with the county magistrates from all over the place.

The prefects will at least carry some, but the county magistrates said: For the development of the villages under their hands, they don't care about face.

Therefore, they take the initiative to come to the door, batch by batch, and they don't come by themselves. Usually, they come with the magistrate they have made friends with, and the two come together, and when they lobby, they still have a two to one advantage.

Don't look at Hanjiang Tower who usually keeps a silent voice, but it's very easy to deal with these people in the officialdom, and his words are quite sharp.

If he didn't really consider for the people, he wouldn't even give him a look.

Fortunately, this area may be too poor, so the officials are not bad, even if they are a little greedy, they dare not go too far.

So the character is not bad, everyone has a little tricks, don't exceed the bottom line and there is a principle, it is not a big problem.

Even if there is a big problem in the future, Han Jianglou said, I can still write to the capital to sue you.

Unexpectedly, hehe, there is a traitor from the capital among you!
"Go directly to Huafang." Knowing that Hanjiang Building is busy, Dong Nuan stopped waiting here and went directly to the workshop.

Today, the sale of preserved flowers has entered the daily stage.

Compared with the original order, it must be less now.

Moreover, most of the orders will be farther away, requiring a decoration team to drive there in a carriage.

Because the nearby ones, those who want to install the eternal flower wall have already installed it.

So, the rest are those that are farther away.
