With the official presence, Xie Xiuwen felt really at ease.
The public security in the Dazhi Dynasty is still very reliable, especially since it is close to the capital. It can be said that there are no bandits within a hundred miles of the capital.
The more this is the case, the easier it is to attract the attention of the higher-ups now that the young master of Dingguo Palace has been assassinated.
The county magistrate is not stupid. If something like this happens in his territory, if one person can't handle it, he must be jointly and severally responsible.
At this time, he was extremely lucky. Xie Xiuwen sent someone to inform him. Now he can at least lead people to guard here. If someone comes from the Dingguo Palace, he can have an explanation.
"Thank you, sir. I brought two doctors with me. They are both good at treating injuries and bruises. Why don't you invite them to take a look?"
Xie Xiuwen nodded: "County Magistrate Chen is thoughtful, please."
After an inspection, it was confirmed that Wang Yanqing's injury was properly treated and that if he took good care of himself in the future, there would be no sequelae. County Magistrate Chen was mostly relieved.
The people from Duke Dingguo's Mansion arrived just before dawn.
Xie Xiuwen was a little surprised. After all, based on the time he estimated, it was impossible for the guard to enter the city.
When people arrived, he understood the guard's loyalty and protector.
Judging from the clothes of these people, they must have been temporarily recruited from Zhuangzi outside the city. The clothes they wore were not the neat and uniform guard uniforms of the Duke's Palace, and these people were obviously different in height, short, fat and thin.
Xie Xiuwen naturally had no intention of sleeping anymore, and his village was only so big, so there was really no way to accommodate so many people. He simply waved his hand and asked the villagers who came to watch the night to go back to rest. Of course, there was no I forgot to tell them that someone would be sent down the mountain after dawn to settle their reward.
After the sky dawned, Wang Zizhen and Gu became busy. At this moment, they had no intention of serving their little master. It was more serious to prepare the meals quickly.
As for the people in Duke Ding's mansion, they claimed to have brought dry food, but Liu Ruolan still ordered someone to cook a large pot of porridge for them to serve. He also made some hot steamed buns and paired them with pickles, which was better than chewing dry food. The cakes are better.
Wang Yanqing's condition is not particularly good. The main reason is that it is not suitable to move now. The doctor said that it is best to rest here for half a month before going down the mountain, and he must be more stable.
In this case, Xie Xiuwen didn't have any objections, he just guarded the situation and was in trouble.
He wasn't sure when his master would send someone over, so he could only wait here.
It wasn't until noon that the carriage from Duke Dingguo's mansion arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Wang Xin walked in a hurry along the way, fearing that something would happen to his eldest son whom he valued most.
After confirming that his son was fine, he remembered to say thank you.
Naturally, County Magistrate Chen did not dare to accept his words of thanks, and even said that he did not dare. Later, when he saw that he had no intention of blaming him, he took the people back to the county government with confidence.
Wang Xin also knew that the most important person to thank was this host. He had heard Zhao Yue praise him many times, but now that he saw it, he naturally had to do some research.
The two parties had a good chat. Xie Xiuwen was not that pedantic person and would not refuse to socialize with dignitaries just for the sake of the so-called reputation of being a good person. Wang Xin liked this very much.
"I'll have to thank the editor for this. My child can't move now. He will rest here for the time being. I will send someone to pick him up in a month."
"Can."
Wang Xin had serious errands in the court, so he couldn't stay here forever. After staying here for one night, he felt that Zhuangzi was a good place to recuperate. It was quiet and the accommodation was quite good. Although the food was not as refined as the Duke's Mansion, it was still good. It can be regarded as a combination of meat and vegetables, and seeing that his son ate deliciously, he didn't say much.
Before leaving, he specifically spoke to Xie Xiuwen, leaving behind a number of guard boys and two hundred taels of silver, which was considered a month's food and lodging expenses for them.
Xie Xiuwen didn't shirk and accepted it openly, which made Wang Xingao take a look.
If Xie Xiuwen did not accept the money in order to curry favor with Duke Dingguo, it would actually make Wang Xin think that he had a big agenda.
This is just right.
Xie Xiuwen returned to Beijing with Douzi. He had no choice but to take advantage of the limited vacation time.
Liu Ruolan was worried about the children, especially the young master who was recuperating here, so she simply didn't leave.
Xie Xiuwen originally intended to let her stay and take care of him, but now this is just right.
Xie Rongzhao can also stay, and the happiest person is Cheng Jingzhou.
These two children were always close to each other, but now they both live in Zhuangzi and like to hang out together when they have nothing to do.
Xie Rongzhao thought that the heroine in the book had also made a fireplace called something. It was originally because she got to know Wang Yanqing, and Wang Yanqing was not used to sleeping on the kang, so she tinkered with it.
Now she can get it out first and make it easier for her family first.
Just do it!
The weather wasn't too cold yet and the soil hadn't frozen yet. As soon as she told Zhu Weng and others, they started to get started.
Within two days, a brand new fireplace was built.
This fireplace is built in the east wing of the east courtyard. Several boys have classes here every day. Now that there is a fireplace, there is no need for another charcoal pot.
The villa was originally built on the mountain, and the most indispensable thing was firewood.
With this, they can save a lot of money a year.
The first one was repaired, and the second and third ones were completed one after another.
Wang Yanqing also got one in the room where he was recuperating. When he first tried it, he was still curious. After experiencing it for a day, he felt that this thing was good.
Because he needed to recuperate and the weather was a bit cold, morning and night, someone would burn a handful of firewood on the kang where Wang Yanqing slept.
Wang Yanqing was really not used to it. He always felt that his whole body was dry and his lips were a little dry.
He is the young master of the Jingui Duke's Mansion, and the place where he lives is full of earth dragons. Where has such a thing slept?
But he was here to recuperate, and he was too embarrassed to complain about this or that. Unexpectedly, there was a fireplace in the room now, which was much better.
"Brother Yanqing, drink some honey water. I see your lips have peeled in the past two days. With this fireplace in the future, there will be no need to burn this stove."
Only then did Wang Yanqing realize that the little girl in front of him noticed his discomfort, so he sent someone to do it, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Thank you, Sister Zhao. This thing is called a fireplace? Where did you see it?"
Xie Rongzhao tilted his head and said: "I have never seen it before. I grew up in the south. But I have seen the Kang and the fire wall in the north. Isn't this the same as the fire wall? Hey, I always thought it was also a fire wall. It’s a kind of thing, isn’t it?”
Wang Yanqing was led astray by her.
As a person who is not involved in production, he naturally doesn't understand whether it is a fire wall.
Xie Rongzhao liked to talk to Wang Yanqing when she had nothing to do. What she wanted to do was to curry favor with this powerful man in advance, so that she and brother Jingzhou could benefit from him in the future, at least they would not be persecuted again.
But Cheng Jingzhou felt that his little sweetheart was about to fall in love with him! (End of chapter)
