Langya County is not far from Hejian County. Although there were bandits who wanted to make money on the road, they were killed by Jiang Pengji before they approached the convoy. Apart from these small disturbances, other times were peaceful.
It was safer to wait until Hejian County.
During the years Jiang Pengji was studying in Langya County, the bandits near Hejian County had not been able to do well either.
Those people were either caught out and surrendered, or they were secretly included in Jiang Pengji's part, so Hejian County was peaceful for many years.
"Lang Jun, let's go home..."
Ta Xue reached out the curtain of the car, and saw the city outline crawling on the ground from a distance, and the joy in his heart was unbearable.
Jiang Pengji held the reins and replied softly, "Well, I'm going home."
Hejian County, this was the first place she stayed after she woke up in this world.
Even if she has no sense of belonging, but seeing each other after a long absence, there is a vague feeling that something is wrong.
"Let's go!"
After the emotion was over, the team was repaired, Jiang Pengji waved the whip and continued on the road.
Because someone reported the letter in advance, Liu Mansion sent someone to wait outside the city early.
Jiang Pengji's eyesight was excellent, so she naturally saw who was waiting at the front, and a sincere smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Let Da Bai run a few steps quickly and say to Xu Ke, "Xiaoyu!"
Xu Ke bowed to Jiang Pengji with a slight smile on his face, "Congratulations to your husband."
The already weak Xu Ke is a little longer than before, his shoulders are much wider, and his face is more determined. He has lost the immaturity of a young man, and has a little more calmness of a young man. Maybe he is happy when he is happy, but he also feels a little high-spirited. .
Xu Ke followed Jiang Pengji to study in Langya early in the morning. Although he was a companion, he was no different from ordinary Langya students in the past, and he was occasionally taught by Mr. Yuanjing himself. Two months ago, in order to prepare for the marriage of the concubine of the Liu residence, Xu Ke was sent back to Hejian by Jiang Pengji to help. Judging from his appearance, things should have been done.
"Don't talk about these falsehoods. After traveling for so long, I haven't eaten anything good, and I'm starving to death."
Jiang Pengji threw Dabai's reins to the servant.
Xu Ke said, "Mrs. Die has already held a banquet at home, just waiting for you, Lord."
Lady Butterfly
"What about mother?" Jiang Pengji asked.
Xu Ke replied, "The eldest lady has been busy with marriage these days, and she felt a little cold this morning, so she asked Mrs. Die to come out and wash the dust off Lang Jun."
"So that's the case." Jiang Pengji pointed to the motorcade behind him and said, "Send someone to transport them back to the house, and then check it out according to the list. If there is any problem, be sure to reply to me as soon as possible... I'm exhausted. , I'll go back to the manor to change clothes first."
The pace of life in ancient times was quite slow, and even if he hadn't returned for a few years, Hejian County was no different from what he remembered.
When she saw that there were many ragged beggars in the city, she could not help frowning.
Seeing this, Xu Ke took the initiative to explain, "The previous year and last year, the harvests in several counties near Hejian were not good. Especially during the autumn harvest last year, there was a small locust plague, and the fields were almost dead... If it wasn't for the county governor to open I went to the granary once, and borrowed some food from various households. It is estimated that there are more than a few disaster victims... Hejian is not bad, and the situation in other counties is even more... "
Even if Jiang Pengji helped Hejian County to solve the bandit troubles and avoid the crime, but God doesn't appreciate it, natural disasters can still make people suffer.
Jiang Pengji's expression sank, and she couldn't help but turn her head and glance at the team behind her.
Almost all of these dowries were purchased by Jiang Pengji, and she knew how much silver taels were spent.
This is just a dowry for a concubine of the Liu residence, but there are countless people around who are still hungry.
Such a sharp contrast made Jiang Pengji's heart tighten, and her expression became more and more difficult to look at.
"Where's the tenant outside?"
Jiang Pengji asked about several farms owned by Liu Mansion.
"The eldest lady took out her own money, made the decision to exempt the tenants from the commission, and also helped advance the grain tax, and each household gave some silver taels."
The other tenants were displaced and could not get enough to eat. The life of the tenants in Liufu was not affected much, at least they did not become refugees.
The two talked, and soon arrived at Liu Mansion.
When the porter saw Jiang Pengji, he didn't respond for a long time, and then hurriedly shouted, "Erlang-Jun is back!"
Not long after, the old-fashioned housekeeper trotted out, and when he saw Jiang Pengji, who was already fifteen years old, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Housekeeper, it's a good thing to go home, why are you crying? I'll go see my mother first."
The housekeeper wiped away his tears and said, "The eldest lady has just taken the medicine and has fallen asleep. Why don't you take a shower first, Langjun?"
"That's fine too."
Jiang Pengji returned to her yard, and the maid had already prepared hot soup and clean clothes.
The servants are still the same servants, and the inside and outside of the courtyard are swept clean, as if the master never left.
"Xunmei? You are... "
Jiang Pengji saw a slender back, very familiar, she was stunned for a while before she remembered who the other party was.
"Listen to filial piety... Xiaoyu said that when Lord Lang returns today, I will help you to clean up your bedroom." Xunmei's face was blushing. Even if she didn't put on makeup, she still had an amazing beauty. Her appearance Softer and more mature than before, "I also ask you to forgive me."
Hearing that title, Jiang Pengji turned her head and glanced at Xu Ke, and clicked her tongue, "So good things are coming."
Xu Ke felt a little more uncomfortable, and Xunmei said to relieve the siege, "I wanted to tell you about this when Langjun was free..."
"What is there to avoid about this matter. He dragged you on for so many years without responding, and now he has finally let go. Naturally, a quick solution is needed." Jiang Pengji teased a few words, Xunmei blushed, and withdrew her sleeves. Give space to two people.
Seeing Xunmei retreat, Jiang Pengji said, "Have you decided?"
Xu Ke knew what she was referring to, so he nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then don't let her down. Xunmei is a good girl." To tell the truth, Jiang Pengji is not very optimistic about Xunmei and Xu Ke. Ordinary woman.
It's hard to imagine, in the future, Xu Ke will be able to treat Xunmei with the original intention.
In Jiang Pengji's opinion, in terms of seeking plum, picking a more stable and ordinary man would be happier.
However, this is all her guess.
What happens in the future can only be seen by the two of them.
Xu Ke could hear the warning in Jiang Pengji's words, and could not help but solemnly say, "Ke will definitely live up to her."
Jiang Pengji patted him on the shoulder, "Remember your words."
Xu Ke said, "Naturally keep that in mind."
"Sit down, I want to know some changes and big and small things in Hejian County over the years. How is the current situation of the part?"
Jiang Pengji stayed in Langya County and could receive news every once in a while, but because of the inconvenience of communication, the information was simplified and simplified and not detailed at all. Now that I have finally come back, I naturally have to re-understand it.
Speaking of business, Xu Ke sat up straight, and sorted out the draft a little.
"According to Langjun's instructions..."
