Although Qin'er had known that Han Si had become a high-ranking official and she became a fifth-ranked person, she had never felt like she was really an official wife like today. As soon as she entered Gu'an City in the morning, she received the news.

The great master of An County actually brought his wife to welcome him, and even wanted to invite her and her kid to the inn to rest, planning to have a drink to greet him.

How could she stay in the city so close to her father? Fortunately, she didn't need to come forward to these things. Master Fei Er, who knew that she was unwilling to delay in the county town, helped to reject the good intentions of the county magistrate. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate insisted on meeting again.

deliver.

The yamen runners in Jingdao were playing seven-stick gongs in front of them, shouting, "The military, civilians and others will go away together." The yamen runners who accompanied them shouted, "If a gentleman is not serious, he will not be powerful." The carriage she and her youngest sister were riding in followed the county.

The great master passed through the city from behind the sedan chair and rushed from the east gate of the county to the zujiachang where the Heguan Yamen was located.

Never received such a great courtesy, and had never been so glorious. When I thought about seeing my father who was thinking about day and night, Qin'er was both excited and nervous, hugging her son who was lying by the window and peeking at him.

, asked nervously: "Zhuzi, do you know how far is there?"

He was as excited as the pillar trotting in the carriage and held the carriage and said, "Uncle Yu just inquired, the Dao Office is in front of him, the Dusi Office is the Dusi Office, and the Dusi Office is the Zujiachang, which is only two or three miles away."

"Where is the second master?"

"The second master is right in front of him. The second master has changed his sedan chair. The county magistrate said that the road outside the city is uneven, for fear that he could not withstand the bumps at such an old age. When he left the city, he sent someone to hire a sedan chair for him!"

The county magistrate led the way, and the youngest girl had never been so glorious. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister-in-law, this county magistrate is too polite. She has to give her a little road. I think I'm sorry."

Yu Youfu, who was sitting next to the coachman, couldn't help laughing: "Young sister, this is not polite, this is worse than the county magistrate to take care of it now! If he had to put Ba County, he wouldn't be so polite, because your fourth brother couldn't take care of him. But It’s different here. Although your fourth brother is an official in the river, he can control him as long as he wants to!"

"Uncle Yu, then my fourth brother's official is older than the county magistrate?"

Before Yu Youfu could speak, Zhuzi grinned and said, "Why did you ask this again? I don't know how many times I told you when I was at home. The fourth brother is the fifth-rank Tongzhi master, and the county magistrate is only the seventh-rank official position. The fifth-rank naturally compares

Seventh grade big!”

Yu Youfu has been to Beijing, and has also been to Taizhou with Han Si. He has seen the world and can't help but smile: "Zhuzi, the general magistrate is the seventh magistrate, but the magistrate of Jing County is not the seventh magistrate, but the sixth magistrate.

An is not counted as Jing County. Although the county magistrate in front of him is from the fifth rank, he is actually still a seventh rank official."

Qin'er was not thinking about this. Thinking of not seeing her for several years, she didn't know if her father's appearance changed a lot. She couldn't help but stroke her son's head and reminded her: "Gou Dan'er, remember to call someone later.

Your father must call me.”

On the way from Ba County to Zhili, one adult was completely troubled. Even the strong pillar was sick due to the discomfort. But Gou Dan had nothing to do with it, and he turned around and said:

"Dad..."

"Okay, okay, I didn't let you scream now, wait until you see your father screaming!" Seeing his son's sensible look, Qin'er couldn't help but hug and kiss him.

"Mom, I still want to eat candied haws."

"I forgot what Master Second said, you can't eat too much sugar, it's not good to eat too much teeth."

"What do I want to eat? I want..."

"Stop making trouble, be obedient." The fourth brother reminded him in the letter that he should not be too spoiled by his kids. Qin'er refused without hesitation. The youngest sister hurriedly hid the candied haws that Zhuzi bought in the city.

The two were busy making noises about eating candied haws. The county magistrate's ceremonial guard suddenly stopped. Then, Guan Xiaohu, the third brother of Guan Bantou, shouted happily in front of him: "Sister-in-law, the fourth brother is here."

Now, the fourth brother is here to pick us up!”

"It's the fourth brother, sister-in-law, and the fourth brother came here on horseback!" Yu Tiesuo, the second son of Yu Youfu family, also shouted excitedly.

Qin'er was ecstatic and hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked over. She saw a figure who was both familiar and unfamiliar and turned over and dismounted, stuffed the reins into the hand of a servant in the county government, and bowed to the county magistrate who had just gotten out of the sedan chair.

vaguely heard a thank you, then patted Zhuzi's shoulders that met him and ran towards the carriage with Zhuzi.

"Qin'er, Qin'er, I'm here, I'll pick you up!"

"Fourth brother, fourth brother..."

Qin'er wanted to say to her father, but when she saw her, she was so excited that she burst into tears and couldn't say a word. Han Xiufeng was as passionate as she was crying, and she just held the car window tightly and stared at Risi.

Ye thought, but as he thought about it, he could hardly remember what his first wife looked like. He choked up and said, "It's good to come, it's good to come."

"Goudan, this is your father, call him dad!" The youngest girl recovered and hurriedly carried Goudan out of the carriage.

I don't know how many times the little guy was taught by his mother and aunt on the road, but when he suddenly saw Han Xiufeng, a stranger he had never seen before, he was at a loss for a moment, hugging his aunt's neck tightly, and flashing big

His eyes stared curiously.

Han Xiufeng reacted and thought that this was my son, so he quickly reached out to hug him, but the little guy still hugged Xiaomei'er's neck tightly and didn't loosen. He could only wipe the tears and smiled, "Goudan, I am your father."

Ah, be good, let your father hug you."

"Goudan is obedient!" Qin'er also calmed down and hurriedly took out the candied haws and handed them out of the carriage: "Goudan is good, let your father hold them and give you the candied haws."

Although the little guy recognized his child, he was young after all, and could not resist the temptation of candied haws. He hesitated and let go of his little hand to pick up the candy. Han Xiufeng took the opportunity to carry him into his arms, and said excitedly while kissing him, "Goudan,

I am really your father. My dog ​​is the most obedient and obedient. Hurry up and call him Dad. Not only will he eat candied haws every day, but Dad will also take you to ride a horse!”

The little guy was anxious to eat candied haws, and was very impatient when he was struggling hard. A familiar voice came from behind: "In the letter, he told me not to follow the child in everything, and he said that his kind mother would be defeated by the child, which shows that

He was so spoiled."

Han Xiufeng recovered and quickly turned around and said, "Second Master, I'm sorry, I was so excited just now, I forgot to say hello to you..."

"The family won't say a few words." Master Fei Er smiled slightly and immediately suggested: "Zhixing, this is not a place to speak. Otherwise, you get in the car first and we will talk in detail when we arrive at the government office."

"Okay," Han Xiufeng also felt that this was not a place to speak. He first went to express his gratitude to the Gu'an magistrate and asked the Gu'an magistrate to go back first, then climbed onto the carriage with his kid in his arms, and let the big head who was chasing him in a hurry lead the way in front of him.

, led everyone straight to the rental house.

The youngest girl was very sensible and climbed onto the carriage that Master Fei Er was riding in.

Han Xiufeng put down the curtain, held the baby in one hand, and hugged his first wife with shame, and said with a guilty look: "Qin'er, I'm sorry for you. I've let you wait for the baby at home for so long, and I've let you and the baby be together.

I came here from afar. Actually, I still want to go back early to reunite with you and Goudan, but I couldn't help myself in the officialdom and never went back several times..."

"Fourth brother, I know, I don't feel wronged." Qin'er snuggled in his arms, bursting into tears, feeling like a dream.

After more than three years of separation, Qin'er has changed a lot. Not only is it richer than in memory, but it also has a few more female charms. Han Xiufeng couldn't help but kiss her, then looked at her son who was eating candied haws with relish and sighed: "Dog

The egg is even whiter and more handsome than I thought, and more sensible than I thought. It will make you suffer if you pull him so much."

"So many people help me, but it's not hard, I just miss you." Qin'er was really embarrassed and hurriedly changed the topic: "Fourth brother, Goudan can recite the "Three Character Classic"! Second Master teaches you

Yes, he is not afraid of anyone, just afraid of the second master. He recites me every day when he is at home, and even my youngest sister and I have learned it."

"Is that so? It's more promising than when I was a child. I'm as big as him now. Now, my brother said he's running around with his bare butt."

"He was born in an ordinary family and enjoyed his life. If he was born in an ordinary family, he would not be able to read books, let alone ask the juren to teach him."

"Yes, he helped us enjoy the blessings we had never enjoyed when we were young." As he was speaking, the laughter of Datou and Zhuzi came from outside. Thinking of Jiang Liu and Monkey from the Sichuan Gang, they seemed to be with him.

Han Xiufeng couldn't help but ask, "Qin'er, you came so fast. When did you receive a message from my request to Rishengchang to send home?"

"Your letters were sent by Rishengchang. Fourth brother, which letter were you talking about?"

"The one you've come."

"Have you sent a letter home asking me and Goudan to come here?"

"Um."

Thinking of his father, Qin'er felt happy and said shyly: "Fourth brother, we have not received that letter. I heard from Rishengchang's shopkeeper that you have transferred from Jiangsu to Zhili, listen to my father.

I told the second master that he was not far from the capital, so I... I told my father that he wanted to bring Goudan here."

"So that's it. I said why are you here so quickly?" Han Xiufeng thought about it and asked again, "It's okay at home."

"Okay, the family is all good. Before I came, I went back to the airport. My parents, aunts, elder brothers and second brothers insisted that I bring you something. It's so far away, I'm worried that it's hard to bring you, so I didn't want anything else, so I brought you something.

I got some bacon and sausages." Qin'er took out a handkerchief and wiped Goudan's mouth, and then said: "The people from the Taoist bureau, the government office and the county office knew that Goudan and I were coming to Zhili, and they all wanted to follow me.

.My father knew they wanted to benefit you, and it was not easy for you to be an official. In the end, he chose a few reliable ones and stopped everything else."

It is said that one person has achieved enlightenment and can be ascended to heaven, and it is reasonable for people from his hometown to come to benefit from it, otherwise the families of those officials would not have been hundreds of.

Han Xiufeng smiled and asked curiously: "How many people came this time?"

"Thirteen, except for He Jiangong from the Tai Yamen, you should recognize them all."

"Which thirteen?"

"Godan and I have never traveled so far. Now it's not peaceful outside. Second Master is worried and insists on sending us here in person. But he is old, so my father and Uncle Guan went to ask Uncle Yu,

Uncle Yu not only agreed to send us here, but also brought his iron lock. The two of them didn't plan to go back and planned to follow you in the future."

Qin'er paused and then said, "Aren't Zhuzi and the youngest girl getting married soon? My father didn't plan to let them come, but the second master said that the youngest girl is different now and is considered a half-official lady.

If I just married Zhuzi like this, I would be laughed at. My father thought it made sense, so he asked them to come together, stay away from their hometown, get married here, and there would be no gossip.

You know the little tiger of Uncle Guan’s family. When he saw that Zhuzi and Tie Suo were coming, he pestered Uncle Guan every day and insisted on following him. Wang Jingcheng, the county magistrate, is our matchmaker. In the past few years when you are not at home, my father will help him during the holidays.

He was giving gifts to Wang Jingcheng's family. His third son donated a prison student and wanted to follow him to do an errand, but my father had to agree."

There were thirteen people in total, which was not a big deal. Han Xiufeng didn't think there was anything wrong with his father-in-law's arrangement like this, so he couldn't help but smile and asked, "What else?"

"You know that Zhou Changchun, the nephew of Zhou Jingcheng of the Dao Office, Qin Ruguang, the old man from Qin Bantou's family in the government office. If someone wants to come, my father can stop him. If they want to come, my father must not refuse."

They were all friends who had a good relationship when they were living in Ba County before. Han Xiufeng couldn't help laughing and said, "Seeing Zhuzi was coming, I heard that even Datou had become an official, so Gu Moon was unwilling to make coffins at home, and Zheng Yuanbao was not

I am willing to make paper people at home, and I am thinking about coming to me to get a job with a little bit of it?"

"They are your old neighbors and old neighbors. My father said that if they were not allowed to come, the neighbors would scold you for being forgotten." Qin'er smiled helplessly, then changed the subject: "Fourth brother, listen to my father's talk about Sichuan."

Jiang Liu and Monkey, who were helping him, said that they were here to defect to Datou, but in fact they couldn't stay in Ba County, so they took this opportunity to escape."
