The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 438: Reluctant Farewell (1)
When Master Zhao took the head of the yamen servants who had worked with Mr. Min for more than three years and Liufang Dianshi, they each held up plaques donated by the people spontaneously with the words "benefiting one side" and "being an honest and upright official" and so on. When I was waiting in the lobby to say goodbye to him, the back hall was already empty.

After handing over to the new Ping County magistrate, Min Lansheng left without regret.

For three years, he worked conscientiously, abided by his duties as an official, and did a lot of practical things for the people of Ping County.

So he was extraordinarily calm when he left.

As for the plaques and gifts, he didn't pay much attention to them.

Just like what he said to Su Xiazhi: "For a husband and for a husband, after ten years of hard work, I have to do something..."

The transfer order sent by the imperial capital clearly stated the time when Min Lansheng came to Beijing to take up his post.

Therefore, before this time, he had to move his family to the imperial capital.

The business in Su Xiazhi's hands is all on the right track, so even if she leaves, as long as there are suitable people to manage it, it will be fine.

The servant has been officially promoted by her to be the chief housekeeper.

In the past few years, Su Xiazhi has never kept the secret from him about the operation and income of several shops as the owner has come in and out, and has cultivated him by precept and example.

The boy grew up very quickly.

Although he can't have unique insights and vision in doing business like Su Xiazhi, it is enough to guard this huge family business for her.

He has absolute loyalty to Su Xiazhi!
In Su Xiazhi's words: Shoucheng is a good boy!
That's why she can safely leave the right to head the house to him.

After Zhou Lizheng suffered a lawsuit, the position of Lizheng was assigned to the upright Gao Zhongwu when Min Lansheng first took office, that is, Gao Yue's father also held the position.

And Gao Zhongwu's good kung fu also makes him extraordinarily prestige!With him guarding the neighbors in Shanxia Village and Xinghua Village, it is the safest thing to think about.

My brother is in charge of the land affairs. As long as there are no natural disasters, the chili business can make a fortune for two or three years without any problem.

Everything at home has been properly arranged by Su Xiazhi, and after thinking about it, there is nothing to arrange...

"The sixth day of August is an auspicious day, let's go on the road." Standing in the yard, Su Xiazhi greedily looked at the bricks, tiles, flowers and grass, and said to Min Lansheng who was standing under the grape trellis with his hands behind his back.

"Hmm." The scholar nodded.

Stretching out his hand, he picked off a ripe grape and put it in his mouth. When he bit it lightly, the delicious juice immediately overflowed, with a strong fruity aroma: "It's so sweet..." He murmured.

The distance from Shanxia Village to the imperial capital is not close, and the date of Min Lansheng's transfer order has been set. The husband and wife discussed it and decided to leave on the sixth day of August.

Before leaving, Su Xiazhi instructs the servant in detail, and makes an appointment to have three correspondences every month, so that he can know the situation at home.

Before setting off on the road, Su Xiazhi and Min Lansheng went to her mother's house to bid farewell. Aunt Su was holding her daughter and crying out of breath.

Transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, and people's life expectancy was not very long at that time. Aunt Su's concerns were not just talking nonsense. She was really afraid that she would not see her daughter when she closed her eyes...

Parting is always sad. When the old lady cried, Yang Qiaolian also shed tears, which made Su Xiazhi feel very uncomfortable. Apart from constantly comforting Aunt Su, she also decided to leave quickly when she decided to leave. 'Go ahead and save as much as you can!
On the third day after inviting the neighbors from the two villages to have a hearty meal, Min Lansheng and Su Xia sneaked up on the kang before dawn. The big burden is ready to go out.

The four carriages that Su Xiazhi hired for a long journey arrived outside Shanxia Village last night. In order not to disturb the neighbors nearby, she asked the driver and the martial artist who escorted them to stay in the courtyard of the little fat man. .

The two of them originally planned to leave before dawn, and no one would be alarmed, but when the courtyard door opened, Su Xiazhi was stunned, and then tears fell down uncontrollably...

People from a village in Shanxia Village, men, women, old and young, are all standing silently under the steps of her house at this moment. I don't know how long they have been waiting. Their hair is still steamed with the morning moisture...

Su Xiazhi, who was teary-eyed, walked down the steps slowly, and every step she took, the crowd gathered more, and when she stepped on the flat ground, they had already surrounded her.

"Boss, are you going to leave like this?" Su Xiazhi turned her head to look at the reputation, but her eyes were full of tears, and it was still dark, so she couldn't see the face of the person who spoke.

"It's definitely not possible to go this way, we still have to take a carriage on the road." Su Xiazhi wiped away her tears and joked: "You guys, you guys... It won't be fun if you don't see my snot and tears, right? ?”

"It's done, now everyone has seen it, and Xiucai and I can't sneak away anymore. Gao Yue..."

"Sister-in-law?" Gao Yue, carrying a package on his back, answered outside the crowd.

"Go to the courtyard of the Chen family and let our carriage come over. Since your brother Xiucai and I can't sneak away, we might as well be generous!"

"Understood!" Gao Yue responded, and trotted out of the village, chasing Aunt Gao who was crying behind him.

Gao Zhongwu grabbed her and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing? It's a great thing that a child can have a good future with a scholar! You hold him and don't let go because you want to treat him as a child for the rest of your life. keep it?"

"Xiaosi'er is still my son no matter how old he is, and my son is still a child no matter how old he is in the eyes of his mother!" Aunt Gao stopped, wiping her tears with one hand, while not forgetting to speak hard.

"Auntie, don't worry!" There are several people between Su Xiazhi and Aunt Gao, so she can only say loudly: "Gao Yue is not young anymore, don't worry if you follow the scholar, after another year or two, Maybe I can bring you back a daughter-in-law from the capital!"

"That's right, what a good thing this is, why do you say you're still crying..."

Su Xiazhi opened her mouth to talk and laugh, coupled with the booing of several women and daughters-in-law who were familiar with Aunt Gao, the originally sad scene came alive again, Su Xiazhi stuck out her tongue secretly, turned and looked at the door of her house, seeing Min Lansheng also He was in a hurry to bid farewell to the crowd and said words of thanks, but the little girls had already been led down the steps by the servants, and now they were standing obediently outside the crowd.
