Besides, Lan Yi hurried back to Kaoshan Village with the girl's handwritten letter. Liu Yue didn't have a house in the county these days.
There is Qiu Ying in the pastry shop, Qiu Ying has become the shopkeeper, and there is a pastry chef in the kitchen, so the shop no longer involves Liu Yue's energy.
Everyone in the county knew that Magistrate Fan admired Liu Xiaodong's family very much, and Xiaodong's family was the adopted daughter of the Chu family, so no one in the county came to trouble the Liu family.
In the evening of this day, Lan Yi, who was tired of his travels, finally rushed back to Kaoshan Village.
As soon as Liu Yue put down her rice bowl, Lan Yi walked in.
Seeing Lan Yi's appearance, she didn't take a good rest along the way, so Liu Yue quickly asked Lan Yi to wash up.
Lan Yi took out the girl's letter and gave it to his wife, then went to wash up without any courtesy.
Over there, Aunt Hua also quickly ordered a bowl of chicken noodle soup for Lan Yi. Lan Yi moved very quickly. After finishing the noodle soup and snoring, he rushed to the madam's yard.
After Liu Yue read her daughter's letter, she didn't speak for a long time, but her hand holding the letter kept shaking.
Her mood at the moment was very complicated, and the Qi family finally paid the price.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law were really having a hard time in the house. The death of her mother was also caused by the Da Qi family, and all of this was caused by her father.
It was precisely because he was confused, listened to others, and handled things lightly with only a few soft words and a few tears from the Qi family that he fueled the arrogance of the Qi family and their daughter.
The most difficult thing for her to accept was the man, Rong Jue.
She didn't know how to face him again.
She would not stop her daughter from acknowledging her ancestor and returning to the clan, but she and him were a thing of the past. After all, she gave birth to Mu Yang. The Rong family might really not care, but she did.
"Lanyi, tell me more about Beijing." Liu Yue sighed.
She had to face what she had to face. Now that her eldest brother was here, she had to go to the capital. Lan Yi told them in detail what happened after they arrived in the capital.
"Madam, if you calculate the time, the Duke of Guo will arrive in Lin County in five days. At that time, my servant will go to greet the Duke of Guo."
Liu Yue nodded, there were still five days left before she could see her eldest brother Heping.
Crazy Grandpa naturally knew about the situation in Jingzhong and persuaded Liu Yue.
Liu Yue said: "Uncle Wu, I know that you can't escape what you have to face. I will take Mu Yang to follow my elder brother to the capital, and I will leave it to Uncle Wu at home."
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you at home."
"Uncle Wu, after my elder brother comes, he will clarify the matter between Lian Sheng and An An. An An said in the letter that she has told Rong Jue that Rong Jue has arranged for people to protect Lian Sheng. Since Rong Jue knows Yes, we will definitely take action to deal with the Li family."
Crazy Grandpa nodded, "When the Marquis was wronged, many good ministers in the court spoke up for the Marquis. The Rong family, the Chu family, including the old Duke, all submitted letters several times, so they were suppressed by the late emperor for a time. The old Duke was There is no ambiguity about right and wrong, so how come you can’t see clearly about the back house?”
Liu Yue also shook her head helplessly. She had feelings for her father. The Qi family had fallen into disgrace, and her mother would not be able to come back.
Five days passed in a flash, and on this day Rong Guogong Liu Rufeng and his eldest son Liu Huanping arrived at the border of Linxian County.
Liu Rufeng knew that the Linxian County Magistrate was Mr. Fan, and he did not want to disturb him. He was not here on official business, but on private matters, and there was no need to disturb Magistrate Fan.
But Magistrate Fan still knew.
It was a coincidence that when Qiu Dutou came back from doing business, he happened to meet Lan Yi and Zi Yi on the road.
Because of Qiu Ying and Gao Qing, the Qiu family and the Liu family were naturally very close, and Zi Yi was by Liu Yue's side, so he knew Zi Yi.
When asked, Ziyi said that the madam's brother had been found and that the brother came from the capital to visit the madam.
Qiu Zai's mind suddenly changed. Mrs. Liu's brother came from the capital. The Liu family in the capital?
Isn't that the Rongguo Duke's Mansion?
So after Qiu Baantou returned to the county government office, he immediately reported the matter to Mr. Fan.
Lord Fan also reacted immediately.
Although Mr. Fan is in Linxian, he has classmates and friends in the capital, and he knows a little bit about what is happening in the capital, not to mention such a big matter for the Liu family.
Mrs. Liu's brother is the new Rongguo Duke Liu Rufeng.
So Mr. Fan immediately put down what he was doing and took people to Shiliting outside the county town, which was the only way to Kaoshan Village.
Sure enough, after a while, I saw several carriages approaching slowly, followed by Ziyi and Lanyi.
Duke Rong's carriage arrived.
Magistrate Fan came out of Shiliting and stood on the edge of the official road.
Zi Yi saw Magistrate Fan from a distance and said to the carriage: "Master Guo, in front of you is Magistrate Fan. He should know that Duke Guo is here and has come to greet you specially."
When Liu Rufeng heard this, he realized that he had arrived at the border of Lin County. As the head of a county, he had five or six carriages and many guards. It would be strange if he didn't know.
The carriage slowly stopped.
Magistrate Fan walked to the carriage, bowed and said, "Magistrate Fan Qingshan of Lin County pays homage to the Duke."
The carriage door was pushed open and Liu Rufeng got out of the carriage.
When the prince Liu Huanping saw the carriage stopped, he opened the door and got out of the carriage.
Ordinarily Liu Rufeng is the Duke of the country and his rank is higher than Lord Fan, so he doesn't need to come down at all. However, thinking of Lord Fan's care for the Liu family, Liu Rufeng is still very grateful to Lord Fan.
Liu Rufeng gave Master Fan a hand and said warmly: "Master Fan, there is no need to be polite. I am here for private matters this time. An An told me that Master Fan takes great care of their mother and daughter. Thank you very much, Master Fan."
When Mr. Fan heard that the Duke was very approachable and without any airs, he felt even more at ease.
After seeing the prince again, he said: "My lord, please get in the car. I will take my lord to Kaoshan Village."
Liu Rufeng nodded with a smile, turned to Liu Huanping and said, "Bring the horse over here, and let's talk to Mr. Fan while we walk."
Liu Huanping arranged for a guard to lead a horse to his father, Liu Rufeng got on the horse, and Master Fan also got on the horse.
The two rode horses and walked in front, with the crown prince Liu Huanping following closely, and the others following behind.
Ziyi asked the prince for instructions and went back to report the news.
Liu Rufeng and Mr. Fan had a very interesting chat together.
Master Fan also told the Duke in detail what he knew about Liu Yue's mother and daughter.
He even mentioned the fact that Liu An'an brought the village he supported to get rich and established a cooperative.
The cooperative is now progressing very smoothly. New houses have been built in the three villages. The appearance of the village has changed dramatically from before. The cooperative model has also been copied in other villages, with very good results.
Lord Fan was full of praise for Liu Anan.
Rong Guogong Liu Rufeng was very shocked. He knew that his little niece was not simple, but he did not expect that this child could have such great energy.
Fan Qingshan was also ranked second that year.
Although the Fan family is not a wealthy family, it is still a scholarly family. Fan Qingshan is well-read in poetry and books, and is very talented and capable.
Under his governance, Lin County has changed a lot in the past few years. At least compared to the previous term, no people are hungry anymore.
Unexpectedly, his own children could be praised so much by Magistrate Fan.
The eldest son Liu Huanping did not expect that sister An An was so powerful. He was several years older than her, and he was not as good as her.
Liu Huanping thought that he had to work harder to support his younger brothers and sisters in the future.
Ziyi beat the horse and ran back home as fast as possible.
After arriving home, he told his wife that Mr. Fan had accompanied the Duke to Kaoshan Village. According to the distance, he would arrive in about an hour.
Liu Yue felt a little nervous and wrung her hands together.
