Hurrying slowly, Qi Yu and his party finally arrived in Yongchuan Prefecture on the 19th day of the twelfth lunar month.
After entering the official road, he immediately ordered to move forward in a low profile.
Except for some necessary bodyguards, he had all other sergeants stationed in a secret place outside Yongchuan City.
He also made it clear that no one was allowed to enter the city without his permission. Also, even though we are in the suburbs, we cannot bully the people passing by. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed.
yes!
How can your own army disturb the people of your hometown?
In Qi Yu's view, not only should they not disturb, but they should also find ways to feed them back and repay the land that raised them with piety.
If a lamb kneels to breast, let alone a human being?
During the short stay before entering Beijing, due to the need for confidentiality, there was no public appearance or visits to relatives and friends. Now that I return, I will definitely have to do some public activities.
Since you plan to be active, do more meaningful things.
As for how to repay him, Qi Yu already had a rough plan.
Didn't Yin Tao always want to be like Liu Quan and want to build herself an archway of a Chinese lady in her hometown? So, why don’t you take this opportunity to donate money and benefit the surrounding neighbors?
This approach not only adds to the icing on the cake of the memorial arch, but also brings tangible and real benefits to the people in the hometown.
But where did the money needed come from?
Haha, it’s so close!
Isn’t there something ready-made in my carry-on luggage?
All of this money was given to him and Yin Tao by corrupt officials in the capital as a wedding gift, and the amount was quite huge. But this number is almost as much as what an ordinary county would spend in a whole year.
Objectively speaking, being quick to see money is a common trait of most people, but Yin Tao is not one of them.
When she learned that the money came from greedy ink, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
You said that the relationship between you and your husband is purer than the snow lotus on the mountain that day. How can you allow these black-hearted silver coins to tarnish it?
This is not a matter of innocence, but a matter of principle.
"Husband, this money came from a wrong source, and I feel uneasy about spending it. In my opinion, I'd better find a proper way to dispose of it."
"Well, that's fine!" Just like that, Qi Yu readily accepted her suggestion.
Agree to dispose of the money.
"These money are all looted from the people's wealth. It is better to return them to the people. In this way, we can take it from the people and use it for the people."
"This method is very good!"
After saying that, Yin Tao suddenly realized something was wrong.
The idea of paying back the money is a clever idea, but how to actually do it?
That is, how can we return it to the people?
Qi Yu took this opportunity to come up with his idea.
"In my opinion, it would be better to distribute the money as rewards on the day when the lottery is unveiled at the Lady of the Nation Memorial Arch. This way, it not only adds to the lottery, improves the atmosphere, but also properly digests the money."
"Well, this move also shows that our Qi family is generous and informal..."
As they talked, the convoy approached the city of Yongchuan Prefecture.
Qi Yu thought briefly and immediately ordered: Enter through the Zhengdong Gate.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
Therefore, subconsciously, the East is supreme.
Entering through the east gate means that the future will be prosperous and successful. This move should be regarded as a good luck.
Qi Dalang, with an expectant look on his face, lifted the curtain and looked at everything outside through the window lattice.
Suddenly, a feeling of homelessness came to mind.
What wanderer can remain indifferent to the homeland where he was born and raised? Even if he sat in the high position of a feudal official, he was no exception.
At this moment, a lonely and depressed peach forest came into view.
While staring at it, Qi Yu said with emotion: "I think back in those days, when your brother and I were taking exams in the same subject, it was in the woods in front of me that I invited him to have a chat for the first time. I remember that at that time, I was still thinking because of the Annoyed, he punched him. Oh...but now, he has punched him back."
"puff……"
Hearing this, Yin Tao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "There is such a thing, please tell me..."
Qi Yu didn't hide it, and poured out all the old millet generously.
Yin Tao never expected that his so-called "your sister" would actually be applied to her. It seems that the fate between them is really great!
But now, time has changed, things have changed and people have changed.
The peach forest is still the same peach forest as before, but the imperial examination scholars of that year have already leaped over the dragon gate and become the pillars of the country.
While we were talking and laughing, we suddenly heard an old voice coming from outside the car: "May I ask if the person sitting high in the car is Qi Shaobao from Nanyang?"
Qi Yu was startled when he heard this and replied casually: "Yes, it's me."
"Oh, I've been looking forward to the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and finally I've got you back..."
"Don't say anything, go to my house and take a rest for a while..."
Where is this?
It sounds endless.
Qi Yu had no choice but to stop the carriage and step down to find out what happened.
Looking closely, he found that the person blocking the car was actually an acquaintance of his - Mr. He Shunhe, the old housekeeper of Meng Mansion.
"He Lao, why do you want to see me?"
"very urgent!"
"urgent?"
"Um……"
Next, Butler He simply explained the reason without cutting out the complexities.
He said that after Meng Jiming returned to his hometown with his coffin and settled down, he immediately summoned the clan elders and Feng Shui masters to discuss the funeral arrangements.
In view of the fact that it is a time of joy and mourning, the clan elders all recommend buying it before the Spring Festival, so as not to add to the gloom of the following Spring Festival. And today is the last suitable burial day before the year. If you wait further, you will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year.
Meng Jiming felt that it was reasonable, so he followed the advice of the clan elders and finalized the burial date that day.
According to his estimation, Qi Yu and his party would arrive within ten days, which would definitely make it in time for the funeral. However, I waited and waited, but still couldn't find him.
As the time drew closer, Meng Jiming began to become anxious.
In the past two days, he directly asked He Shun to guard the east city gate. As soon as Mr. Qi showed up, he would immediately lead him to the Meng Mansion.
After hearing the whole story, Qi Yu was stunned at first, and then quickly apologized: "Some unexpected things happened on the way, which delayed the trip. I never thought that Brother Meng Shi would be kept waiting for a long time."
Having said that, he hurriedly told Huang Fei who was accompanying him: "Since my mentor has a funeral today, I won't go home for the time being. Brother Huang can go and inform the Zhuojing Liu family and ask her to come to the Meng Mansion to observe filial piety." As a gift. As for me, I will go first to assist Brother Meng Shi in the funeral."
"I obey Master Qi's instructions!"
"Go!"
