Of course Li Yuan also knew that this was such a troublesome thing, but this was ancient times, they were just ordinary people, and that was all they could do for now.
Xianggui thought so, but she said: "Go back and ask Brother Xie to see if there is any solution. They have documents for famous people, and tokens for powerful people, so we also want to see if there is a solution that can be solved once and for all. Yes, it saves the trouble. But I estimate that if Xu County Magistrate really wants to come up with such a thing, the benefits must be sufficient."
Wang Can actually knew that Li Yuan was trying to comfort him, but when he thought about Magistrate Xu's greed for money, he felt that it was not impossible.
Thinking about it, she said: "Sister, how about I clean up and go with you. Brother Junzi and my uncle are both in the city, and I am the only one at home today."
"Okay, but we also have vegetables planted in the ground in our yard. Before you leave later, give the key to the aunt and ask her to help look after it. When you get back later, you can bring something to the aunt and the others."
"Okay! Sister, wait until I get off and come as soon as you go!"
"You don't need to bring anything, just pack a few changes of clothes."
"Yeah, I know!"
When Li Rui drove the ox cart over to the old house, Cheng Xuejiao also came over with a baggage.
"Sister, there are two sets of clothes in here. If Zhengzi drinks too much today, please give him some hangover soup. Also, ask my brother-in-law to help keep an eye on it. If Zhengzi can drink less, drink less."
"Okay! I asked Brother Xie to take them there because I wanted to use Mr. Chen to show them in front of County Magistrate Xu and leave an impression. No matter what Magistrate Xu is, he was the one who won the county examination in February this year. Host.”
"Sister, I know everything. Thank you for giving Zhengzi this opportunity."
"They are all members of our family. I would be happy if Zhengzi can be well. Okay, give me the baggage. You can go back first. You can clean up with Third Aunt and come over tomorrow."
"Well, let's see you tomorrow!"
Li Rui on the side said nothing. After Cheng Xuejiao left, he said: "Yuan Niang, come up, my second brother will take you back!"
"Second brother, please wait a moment, Can Niang said she wants to go too."
"good!"
Li Yuan put the baggage directly on the bullock cart and went to the kitchen for a walk.
They were preparing to cook before, and some of the dishes had already been washed and some cut. She had to put them away and take them back. They could still cook them at night.
There’s still some noodles left, it’s almost done now, so I have to take them with me…
When Li Yuan was almost done cleaning up, Wang Can's voice came from outside the door.
"Sister, I'm ready!"
As she said that, she came in carrying a big baggage and saw that Li Yuan had already cleaned the kitchen. Then she whispered: "Sister, I just poured all the spiritual spring water into the urn on the stove in my room. The door is not closed, go and close it."
"good!"
Li Yuan bought several large water tanks and placed them in the large warehouse of the space, which were specially used to hold spiritual spring water.
Xie Yanzhi only knew that it was fairy water, but he didn't know where it came from.
Just think that every once in a while, you will become more.
He even asked her if it was specially set up before she descended to earth.
Li Yuan was already used to the kind of words he would say from time to time.
She didn't answer, let him think whatever he wanted.

When Xu Chongguang took his master's concubine and several servants to the gate of the county government office, he was greeted by Master Fang.
Before Master Fang could speak, he raised his chin slightly and asked bluntly: "Where do we live?"
"Sir, the back office has been cleaned by someone. You can just live in the back office. If you don't like it, you can buy it yourself when the time comes!"
When Xu Chongguang heard that he lived in the back office of the government office, his face turned dark.
"How big is the back office?"
"It's a second hospital! When Mr. Chen and others first came here to take office, they lived here. Later, Mr. Chen's family came over and couldn't live in it, so they bought another one."
Xu Chongguang didn't say anything, but Aunt Rou spoke delicately.
"Master, how can a small second-level hospital accommodate people like us?"
Xu Chongguang felt that he could be regarded as a "relative of the emperor". He traveled thousands of miles to take up the post, but in the end he could only live in a small second-term hospital. This was undoubtedly a slap in his face.
So I heard him say: "The place is too small. I will find an inn to stay in later. The money spent will come from the county government treasury. In addition, the back house must be expanded for me, with three entrances and four entrances." When the courtyard expansion is completed, when will it be completed and when will we move in?"
When Master Fang heard this, his forehead jumped wildly, "Master Xu, I can't make the decision on this matter. I am Master Chen's master, and I will take office with Master Chen this time. Please discuss your request with other people." , now I will take you to find Mr. Chen."
Xu Chongguang was a little angry, but Aunt Rou rolled her eyes and said: "Master, since you are busy, then you should do your work first. I don't know how long it has been since I entered the hospital, so I better not move in first. I’m done. I’ll take people to find an inn right now, and when I get settled, I’ll let you know.”
With that said, Aunt Rou, with the help of the girl, got into the carriage and left.
While Master Bai was angry, he also began to regret why he followed him out.
These two are stupid and greedy, why are they doing this?
Although he was angry, Master Bai still said to Master Fang: "We adults are very tired after a long journey. Can you take us to the back office first? As for the handover, can it be changed to tomorrow?"
When Xu Chongguang heard that Master Bai had made the decision without authorization, he was immediately angry.
"No, we can't live in the back office. Just do as I said, stay in the inn first. When the back office expands to three courtyards and four courtyards, we will move there!"
Master Fang had no idea and was too lazy to talk to him anymore, so he went directly to find Mr. Chen without even saying hello.
Xu Chongguang felt that the other party, a young master, did not take him seriously, so he looked at Master Bai in disbelief.
"Old Bai, what does he mean?"
Master Bai still knew something, so he said directly: "Sir, when a county magistrate first takes office in a place, he basically lives in the back of the Yamen. Unless there are really many people and they really can't live together, they will buy another house. . It’s just that people with good political performance can be transferred in three years, so there is no need to buy a house or something. Therefore, they just bite the bullet, squeeze it out, and leave after three years. The back office only repairs, and does not go out. To expand to such a large scale, there is reason for the county government to issue money."
Xu Chongguang was a little dissatisfied when he heard this: "My request to expand to three courtyards and four courtyards is not too much! This house will be expanded in the future. When we leave, won't other newly arrived county magistrates be able to live in it? Liuyun County With such wealth, we can pay a lot of taxes every year. With so much money, what's the point of spending some of it to build the back office?"
"Sir, you haven't handed over to Master Chen yet, so you are not considered the county magistrate here!"
