Gu Xuan and Han Xianzong were riding together. This time for her daughter's trip, Xie Ziyue was worried about these big men, so she specially sent two nuns to follow her out of the palace.
Before leaving, Xie Ziyue told the two nuns to keep an eye on Gu Xuan at all times to prevent Gu Xuan from making any mistakes.
The two nuns have been serving the princess since she was a child, and they have always fulfilled their duties. As long as Gu Xuan gets off the carriage, their eyes have always been on Gu Xuan.
After leaving the palace, Gu Xuan was extremely curious about everything she saw. She was like a child who had never seen the world. She always opened the curtains in the carriage to look outside. If she encountered something novel, she would stare at it eagerly for a long time. .
After Han Xianzong left the palace, he changed his appearance. He dressed in a low-key manner and was only called the Caravan to the outside world. His surname was also changed to "Huang". Gu Xuan guessed that it was the transliteration of "Huang" from the royal family.
Han Xianzong was young and powerful, but because Gu Xuan was around, others naturally called him Mr. Huang when they heard that she was his daughter.
Gu Xuan felt that her father was called much older for no reason, so she even laughed at him in the carriage because of this.
Because she had to hide her identity when leaving the palace, she now called Han Xianzong daddy. Her voice was sweet. When she first called him daddy, Han Xianzong's lips were so sweet that he couldn't let go of it for a long time.
Of course, he was vague about the things his daughter laughed at.
They went all the way south, focusing on the journey for the first two days, and finally found a resting place when they arrived at a government residence.
This place was called Jingu, and it was probably close to the capital. Seeing that their group looked very impressive, the gatekeeper did not dare to delay at all, and hurried in to inform his master.
Soon, the county magistrate, who looked in a hurry, ran in hurriedly while holding on to his black gauze hat.
"I don't know, my lords..." The county magistrate had never seen Tianyan, so naturally he didn't know the face of Han Xianzong. However, he also knows how to look at people's eyes. He knows that several people have a good background, and his attitude is very correct:
"My lords, please don't blame me if you miss me from afar!"
The co-organizer, the Grand Master, stepped forward and took out his badge. When the junior officer saw it, his eyes almost popped out of his head. He knelt down and saluted: "Wei Chen pays homage to the Grand Master, Wei Chen..."
"Okay!" Before the Jingu County Magistrate finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Sixth Prince on the side: "I was ordered to come here to investigate. Is there a place to live in your government office?"
The southern tour is not as simple as imagined. The main task is to see the sentiments of the people in various places and the degree of love of the officials for the people. Touring is only an insignificant and additional part of it.
When they arrived in Jingu, Han Xianzong and his party did not choose to go to the prefect's mansion, but chose to come to the county magistrate.
The main reason is that what they want to investigate this time is whether the prefect has neglected his duties. If they go directly to the prefect's house, it will be harder than going to the sky to find out anything.
"Of course, sir, if you don't mind, please follow me!" The county magistrate lowered his eyebrows and led the way, cautiously for fear of causing any trouble.
On the way to the room with the county magistrate, the co-organizer, the bachelor, and others told him not to tell others about their arrival, and the magistrate swore again to promise to keep it secret.
He didn't dare to offend the official position of co-organizer of the bachelor's degree, but there were a few people here who looked even more impressive than the co-organizer of the bachelor's degree...
The county magistrate no longer dared to think about it. He could only warn himself to be courteous and never disobey the wishes of these noble people.
However, although he did not dare to look around, he could occasionally catch a glimpse of one of the noble-looking men holding a pink and jade girl in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask:
"Sir, the guest room in the Yamen is never very good. If this young lady doesn't mind it, you can follow the official to the courtyard of the official's daughter. It's much better than the guest room."
The county magistrate's name is Lin Yuanzhi, and he has a pair of children. He is also a father who is extremely indulgent to his daughter. His daughter's house has everything.
He also thought that this young lady had a distinguished status and seemed to be extremely expensive. It would be best if she could live in a better place.
"No need," Grandma Sun was very wary of everything the princess did and declined Lin Yuanzhi's kindness: "My young lady is going to be born and will be with the master. Could you please re-arrange the guest room better."
Lin Yuanzhi could only nod in agreement. When Grandma Sun finished speaking, he couldn't help but look up at Han Xianzong.
The indescribable magnanimity surrounding the other party made him lower his head instantly, not daring to peek anymore.
The guest rooms in the county government were no better than those in the palace. They were almost all close together. After Mr. Lin took everyone to the guest room, Han Xianzong discussed with his confidants how to find out the details of the prefect.
Gu Xuan couldn't understand this, so she took Grandma Sun and others and slipped out of the room.
Yan Zui and Gu Cheng were also doing nothing outside. The three of them sat in the courtyard for a while, bored, when they suddenly heard the lowing of a cow.
"There are actually cows raised here!" Gu Cheng's eyes were delighted, and he noticed the doubtful looks in Yan Zui and Gu Xuan's eyes. He explained: "There are many cows raised on my mother's farm. I know the sound of these cows. Like a calf’s cry.”
As soon as he said this, he thought of a few people sitting here bored, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Why don't we go over and see what's going on? Let's pass the time."
"No--" Nanny Sun stepped forward to stop her again, but before she could finish her words, Gu Cheng said "Oops":
"Mommy, it's really boring for us to sit here. If you just follow me, what else could happen?"
Grandma Sun pursed her lips. Seeing that Gu Xuan was obviously a little moved, she sighed secretly in her heart and said nothing now.
Gu Cheng and Yan Zui led Gu Xuan around, but fortunately the cow's braying never stopped, and it was also guiding them in the direction. After searching for a while, they actually found the cow pen in the county government office. .
There were several cows locked inside, some were old cattle, some were in their prime, and in the far corner was a calf that had just been born.
The cattle pen here was obviously maintained frequently, but it also smelled like cow dung. Gu Xuan was not used to the smell, so she covered her nose and watched from a distance.
Gu Cheng seemed to be very interested in the calf. He even reached out to touch the calf when no one was around.
Unfortunately, he was wearing a dark red coat today. The calf cowered and took two steps back, but the cow seemed to be stimulated by the color and wanted to hit him through the fence.
Gu Cheng had never seen such a battle before. He was afraid that the cow would go crazy, so he hurriedly ran back two steps, but because the ground was wet, he slipped and sat down on the ground.
Gu Xuan and Yan Zui looked at each other, and both of them burst out laughing at his embarrassed appearance.
Just when the three of them were overjoyed, a savage female voice suddenly came from the door:
"Who's in there?"
