After Yao Qiyuan heard his father's inquiry, he began to think deeply, recalling the scenes of getting along with sister Yun'er along the way in his mind.
He didn't know if this was love, but he was very sure that he was not resisting her. "Since Grandpa General has said that you can break off the engagement if you don't like it in the future, then agree to it."
Because Yuanyuan is not sure what will happen in the future, but at this moment, he is willing anyway.
"OK."
The next day, Yunfei went to reply to General Cao, and the two families exchanged invitations.
After the engagement, the relationship between Yuanyuan and Cao Jiayun has not changed much. They still play and study together.
After taking office, they bid farewell to General Cao.
…………
Where he was employed, with the help of General Cao, a nearby place was indeed arranged for him.
The county magistrate of Ding County was only half a day's journey from Qingxi Town.
After getting the appointment letter, Yunfei had to take office, and the group of them walked back to the way they came.
After all, he was not in the top three, so he came quietly and left quietly.
He had lived in the General's Mansion before, and no one had come to recruit him, because in the eyes of outsiders, he had been classified as belonging to the General's Mansion.
However, General Cao had already stepped down from military power, and his descendants only had one granddaughter. After the news of the engagement spread, the granddaughter-in-law's father was only a seventh-rank official in Bianbian County.
It can be said that the entire General's Mansion no longer poses a threat to Donglin's court.
Considering the high voice of the Cao family among the people, it is a wise move for the Holy Emperor to choose to protect the Cao family.
Giving the Cao family a little honor without actual rights can win the favor of the people, so why not do it.
Old General Cao was also very sensible. He spent the next few years seeking medical advice and never got involved in matters involving the court or the military.
He just wanted to recuperate and spend a few more years with his granddaughter, preferably to see her get married.
…………
Yunfei did not go home first, but went to hand over the affairs with the magistrate of Yuan Ding County and take over the official duties from his hands.
The magistrate of Yuan Ding County did not embarrass him too much, but was very polite. After all, if the person in front of him hadn't wanted this position, he might not have been able to wait for the transfer.
Standing in the county government office, Qin Sen couldn't help but sigh: "It's amazing, from today on, I am the county magistrate's brother-in-law.
When we get home, we'll open a tofu shop here to increase tax revenue for my brother-in-law, and then buy some land and rent it out. "
"Haha, then brother-in-law thanked third brother!"
Yunfei talked about going home again, "I'll sort out the servants tomorrow. After I finish handling my official duties, let's go home."
"I listen to my brother-in-law!"
………
The economy of Yuanding County is not bad. It is not very wealthy, but it is not that kind of poor and barren land. It is better than the top and more than the bottom.
The street people didn't react much to the change of county magistrate. Anyway, they didn't have anything to do with whoever changed them and they didn't dare to sue the officials.
I just hope that the new county magistrate will be similar to the previous one who didn't take care of things, and don't torment the poor people like them.
In the county government office, the current team includes a master, a chief clerk, a police officer Chen, and 308 police officers.
The first three official holders are not too young.
The master will be fifty-six this year, the chief bookkeeper will be forty-two this year, and the catcher will be thirty-nine this year.
On the day he took office, these three people took the initiative to surrender and said: "The three of us have all received the kindness of the General's Mansion. In the days to come, we are willing to assist you with your errands."
"Then you three have to worry about it." Yunfei asked them to sit down.
After the four of them finished chatting, they brought over the county government's account books, ancient books, and case records for him to review.
It’s time to get busy! Even though half a month had passed, I had agreed to go see my little girl, but the plan fell through because I was in a hurry to take office.
With Yunfei's autographed letter, Yuanyuan can now enroll in Qinghe Academy.
He arranged for Chen Captou to lead people to escort him and Qin Sen back to Qingxi Town. He first sent Yuanyuan to the academy and asked Qin Mu and Qin Lin to take care of them.
Then he asked Chen Captou to take Qin and her parents over to live here for a while, while Qin Sen went back to work on opening a branch workshop in Yuanding County.
After coming and going, the person was picked up the next day.
"Master!" Ms. Qin shouted with red eyes. At the gate of the county government office where people were coming and going, it was not easy to hug her in broad daylight.
"Here we come! Are your father-in-law and mother-in-law having a hard time along the way?"
Xiao Liu said a little cautiously: "It's not uncomfortable, the carriage is very stable."
"Yes, yes, it's not uncomfortable." Qin Dazhuang was also a little at a loss.
Who would have thought that the son-in-law who was so inconspicuous when they first met would now be wearing an official robe.
The old couple insisted on coming over this time, not because they wanted to enjoy themselves, but because they were worried...
Fear of a change in status made the son-in-law change his mind. After all, any rich and powerful man would not have three wives and four concubines.
Although their Xing'er and her son-in-law had a son and a daughter, they were older and not very good-looking. These were all facts.
The second elder is afraid! Once the new couple comes through, there is no place for the bad wife anymore.
………
Several people entered the backyard of the county government office, and Yunfei took them to the guest courtyard next to the main courtyard.
The waiting maids and servants quickly saluted and said, "I've met your lord, I've met your madam! Grandpa, hello, madam."
"Dad, Mom! You live in this courtyard. Myolie and I live next door. These people are here to serve you. Just let them do whatever they want.
There is a bamboo garden at the back. If Dad wants to practice his skills, he can have his servants chop it down for you to play with. "
"This, this, this... Chunlin, your mother and I don't need servants to wait on us." Qin Dazhuang was a little stunned. He is a countryman, so he does not need servants to wait on him.
"Dad, please relax. This is their responsibility. If it is useless to keep them, the county government will not feed people in vain."
The servants quickly knelt down and begged: "Please, Grandpa, give us a chance to live! We don't want to be betrayed."
"Keep it, keep it, then let them do it."
"Well, it's been a long journey, so you and your mother will ask the servants to prepare some hot water for a bath and take a rest. Later, the kitchen will prepare a meal and have it delivered.
Myolie and I will also come here in the evening to have dinner with you. "
After arranging the two elderly people. He then accompanied Mrs. Qin back to the courtyard next to her.
After washing up, the two took a lunch break together.
After waking up in the afternoon, I went to the yard next door to have afternoon tea with Qin Dazhuang and his wife.
In the evening, various dishes were served to celebrate Yunfei's becoming an official.
After three rounds of drinking, Qin Dazhuang drank too much. His face was dark and red, and he asked out of drunkenness: "Uncle! Now that you are an official, don't look down on Myolie, don't let her down..."
"Haha, don't worry dad! Myolie suffered a lot when she followed me, and Yao Chunlin will never let her down again in this life."
There is something in Yunfei's words, yes! The original body is no longer here, but as long as he is here, the original body has no chance to let down the Qin family.
