Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Chapter 159 Wind and Cold

Ningzhou City, the governor's residence.

Ningzhou is located at the border, a strategic fortress, so officials from all counties have to gather in the city from time to time to discuss matters of importance. However, the recent days have been relatively peaceful, and apart from the grain tax, there is nothing to report. The old governor, who is over 70 years old, is drowsy from listening, and the officials below are also looking forward to going to dinner as soon as possible.

Finally, after all the officials had finished speaking, the old governor opened his wrinkled eyelids and was about to release the person.

Wei Fuguang in the corner suddenly stood up and waved his arms, saying, "Master Zheng, Master Zheng, I...I have something to say!"

All the officials looked at her, sweating. The provincial official was traveling around the place, inspecting local customs, and what she should report was what all the officials should report. She wanted to make up something for the adults present? This brainless girl, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

The old governor Zheng's eyes slid open, "Master Wei, what do you want to report?"

Wei Fuguang bowed and nodded with an exaggerated official salute, and then said: "Recently, many people in the city have caught colds. In my humble opinion, we should send the government doctors to make some medicinal drinks for the people."

The officials were relieved.

Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, Wei Fuguang continued, "The cold is not like the wind and rain, which only affect a small area. It should be easy for one person to be infected and many people to be infected. But now it seems that only the people in the state capital are unlucky." Her eyes intentionally or unintentionally slid over a few people. "During these days when the cold was raging, I only visited a few places casually, so I didn't see the whole picture. I don't know if other lords' jurisdictions have been affected by the cold. I hope you will take the trouble to tell me about it."

Officials: “…”

Firstly, I don't know when and where this girl has been. Secondly, I don't know whether there is any serious cold in the area under my jurisdiction. If the provincial official who monitors local customs doesn't agree with what she says, things will be a bit troublesome. This girl really doesn't show any mercy.

There are actually people who serve as officials like this!

Yang Jinlang, who was sitting in the room, suddenly said, "Master Wei, the masters are busy with many things every day, and they would not even ask about such trivial matters as whether the people are susceptible to colds. I wonder if Master Wei is making a big deal out of a small matter."

Wei Fuguang seemed to suddenly realize something: "Master Yang is right."

Yang Jinlang: "In that case, Lord Wei..."

"Master Yang." Wei Fuguang turned his head and fixed his eyes on Yang Jinlang's face, and said with a smile, "Speaking of colds, Wu County seems to have it more severely than other places."

Yang Jinlang clenched his fists in his sleeves, his face a little unnatural. Before he could speak, Wei Fuguang changed the subject: "Master Zheng, it seems that we should send more medicine to Wu County, so that Master Yang will not be in a dilemma when the time comes."

Yang Jinlang's mouth twitched: "Master Wei is still very thoughtful."

The old governor in the hall twitched his eyelids and said slowly, "Master Wei, I will do as you say. Is there anything else you want to report?"

"Sir Zheng, this is the only one."

"Okay." The old governor waved his hand, "Today's work is done, my colleagues, please go back."

All the officials breathed a sigh of relief and came forward one by one to say goodbye to the old governor.

The main door of the Governor's Mansion opened, and everyone filed out. Wei Fuguang trotted a few steps to catch up with Yang Jinlang in front of him: "Master Yang, Master Yang!"

After what happened in the room just now, Yang Jinlang felt uncomfortable when he heard her calling him, but he couldn't do anything to her openly, so he had to bite the bullet and respond, "Master Wei, what's the matter?"

"Sir Yang, you will pass by my residence on your way back to Wu County. Can you..." Wei Fuguang rubbed his sleeves, looking a little embarrassed, "Can you give me a ride?"

Yang Jinlang: "This... this is not in accordance with etiquette. Please ask Lord Zheng to send Lord Wei..."

"That would be embarrassing for Lord Zheng." Wei Fuguang said persistently, "Lord Yang, after all, we are peers and acquaintances. You see, I have almost spent all my monthly salary, so I'll save as much as possible..."

Yang Jinlang: “…”

He embarrassed him in the house one moment, and then he tried to use his connections to get a ride.

This person is so shameless!

Seeing that Yang Jinlang remained silent, Wei Fuguang continued, "It just so happens that I have something else I want to ask Lord Yang, such as the cold weather in Wu County..."

"Master Wei." Yang Jinlang interrupted her with a fake smile, "I'll pay for hiring a car for Master Wei, okay?"

Wei Fuguang waved his hands quickly: "How can I do that..."

"Master Wei, please don't be polite." Yang Jinlang called a personal servant and gave him a few instructions. Then he said, "Master Wei, please wait here for a while. I have important matters in the county, so I will not accompany you."

Wei Fuguang nodded and bowed, "Thank you, Lord Yang. Thank you, Lord Yang. Lord Yang is really a good man!"

All the adults who had gathered for the meeting had left, and only one carriage was left at the gate of the governor's mansion. The coachman and the servant boy who were waiting on the side saw Yang Jinlang coming out with a gloomy face, and hurriedly put out the stepping stool, fearing that they would be scolded for no reason.

Fortunately, Yang Jinlang had no intention of taking his anger out on them and got into the carriage without saying a word.

The driver glanced at the servant boy tremblingly. The servant boy nodded, waited cautiously by the carriage curtain, and whispered, "Master, are you going back to Wu County?"

There was silence for a moment, then he suddenly drew aside the curtain and said in a deep voice, "Send a message to Madam Ge, asking her to be more restrained. Just tell her that the crazy girl Shengshilang has accidentally targeted her... No, let's not mention Shengshilang."

The book boy was puzzled and asked, "Master, don't you want to use Madam Ge's hand to suppress the troublemaker?"

"How can she suppress him? It's nothing more than killing him to silence him." Yang Jinlang sneered, "Although Shengshilang is annoying, he is stupid and foolish, so generally he is not a concern. Besides, she is the lover of King Jing, and killing her will cause big trouble. According to the current situation, as long as we advance slowly, we can still seize the initiative. Let's go back to Wu County."

"Yes, sir."

The carriage started off with a clang. Behind it, almost all the people in the governor's mansion had left, leaving only Wei Fuguang standing in the middle of the empty courtyard, looking up at the sky.

Today was a fine day. Wei Fuguang relaxed his tense face that had been smiling all morning, stared at the sun that burned his eyes, and said softly, "You've revealed your true colors, little official."

During the days when Chu Yunchuan was gone, Bai Zhi received his first letter from home. The letter was a thick stack, with every detail, just as sticky as others. There were two balls of fish roe in the fish belly of the meal he had with General Qiao, but General Qiao didn't eat fish roe, so he ate all of it and choked. He even drank three cups of tea and was laughed at by General Qiao for half an hour. He had to write five lines for such a trivial matter.

Bai Zhi lazily read the letter on a reclining chair in the yard. At first, she was very interested and read the interesting sentences over and over again. But later, she just read the letter quickly and swallowed it without thinking. Finally, she couldn't help but complain, "So much nonsense."

As expected of Chu Yunchuan, even black and white words can sound noisy.
