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

Chapter 149: Troublemaker

During this time, Chu Yunchuan and Bai Zhi also stayed in the shabby palace in the state capital for a few days, mainly to accompany Changfeng. During every New Year, Changfeng was willing to guard the tablet of the late princess alone, especially during the New Year. Unless there was something very important, no one could knock on his door.

According to Chu Yunchuan, especially in the one or two years after the turmoil, when he was practicing martial arts at night, he often saw Changfeng talking to himself facing the mountain stream.

He couldn't hear what was said, nor did he want to listen.

Two people who depend on each other cannot both dwell on the sad past.

Bai Zhi didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only sit cross-legged beside Chang Feng and brew tea without saying a word. Chang Feng didn't chase her away or ask her questions, and occasionally he would open his mouth and talk about the old stories of the late princess.

And every time this happened, Chu Yunchuan would close his eyes, with no expression of sadness or joy.

Past events that are gone and never come back always torment our hearts.

On the last day of their stay in the provincial capital, Chu Yunchuan took Bai Zhi to visit Fu Yao's home.

The Fu family's house was specially selected by Chu Yunchuan. It is the most lively place in the provincial capital.

Before entering the house, Bai Zhi asked why they chose a downtown area. As soon as the door opened, three noisy children rushed out and surrounded the two of them.

Chu Yunchuan smiled secretly and answered, "Fu Yao is the eldest brother, and he has six younger brothers and sisters. He specifically asked me to choose a place with convenient transportation so that they can move around easily."

Bai Zhi: "..."

Six younger brothers and sisters.

Fu Yao's mother is really made of iron.

Behind the children, Fu Yao came over with his little sister in one hand, smiling: "Hey, Miss Bai! Long time no see!"

"Brother Fu! Long time no see!"

Fu Yao was exactly the same as Bai Zhi in her memory, still as strong as ever.

After meeting Fu Yao, the two set off back to Qing County.

It was not until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that people from all walks of life reluctantly resumed work.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, all the tribute candidates from Qing County packed up their bags and took up their posts.

March.

Ningzhou, Wuxian.

People gathered at the county government office early today. The newly appointed county magistrate Yang Jinlang led the county officials and yamen runners to stand in a row to welcome the provincial governor who came from the state government office.

When appointing officials to the tribute scholars this year, Prince Jing only added a new position of Provincial Affairs Officer to Ningzhou, but he was vague about the details, only saying that this official should often travel to the local areas to monitor local customs.

It sounded like a sinecure, and all the officials in Ningzhou had their own complaints in their minds, but they were generally in agreement - it was hard to say what relationship this Provincial Affairs Officer had with Prince Jing.

Especially since she is a woman, she is most likely Prince Jing’s lover.

Alas, I heard a few years ago that Prince Jing had a crush on a pretty shopkeeper, and they lived together in Qing County, hiding their identities and eating simple meals for a long time. I thought it was a romantic story, but it turned out that he had a new love.

However, if the new lover is sent to the poor and miserable Ningzhou, it seems that Qingxiu, the shopkeeper, will have a higher position.

It was a cold March, and all the officials gathered their sleeves tightly and waited at the gate of the county government office, waiting for the arrival of the governor. The cold wind blew and slapped the officials in the ears. The county magistrate could not stand the cold and shrank back, saying, "Sir Yang, it's already past the time. The governor might have run into something on the way and will be late. Why don't we go back to the house and ask someone to wait at the intersection?"

Yang Jinlang stood straight and said coldly without thinking: "Why, Lord Sun, you don't welcome Lord Shengshilang?"

The county magistrate was shocked: "I dare not!"

King Jing's lover is not welcome. Who dares to wear such a big hat? The county magistrate continued to hiss and laugh, not daring to say another word.

The six Caos in the back whispered to each other: "Lord Yang has never taken these favors seriously, what happened today?"

The sound was not loud, but it still reached Yang Jinlang's ears.

What's wrong? Yang Jinlang sneered.

He had offended King Jing. Not only did he covet the woman King Jing liked, he also threw dirty water on King Jing's mother-in-law. That's why he had such a miserable end today - he worked so hard to pass the imperial examination, but in return he became the magistrate of a poor place like Wu County. He tremblingly sent a letter to Ge Zhen, but received only two words in response: waste.

He also asked what was wrong. If he didn't please King Jing's lover, would he still have a good life in the future?

After a stick of incense had passed, the sound of a horse-drawn carriage was heard at the corner of the street. The officials were delighted - it's finally here!

The carriage drove straight to the gate of the county government office. Yang Jinlang trotted out to greet them, but they saw a tattered carriage. The driver wearing a bamboo hat shouted casually, "Sir, we've arrived!"

The curtain was opened, and the man inside, dressed in official uniform, jumped off the carriage without paying attention to his appearance. He stumbled a bit when he landed, then touched his money bag, nodded and handed a handful of copper coins to the driver: "Thank you very much."

The driver muttered, "I've never seen such a poor official who still wants to bargain for such a small fare."

Officials: "..."

The tattered carriage sped away.

Yang Jinlang looked the man up and down. He looked to be about twenty years old, not very good-looking, with a somewhat hunched body, and his official hat was crooked, not looking like an official at all.

Is this the only one? Is she the lover of King Jing?

Yang Jinlang bowed his hands and asked uncertainly: "Excuse me, sir... is it Lord Shengshilang?"

The man nodded repeatedly and returned the greeting unskillfully: "That's right, my name is Wei Fuguang, Ergui Wei, you must be Lord Yang, right? I've heard of you in the state government, you are really a handsome man."

Yang Jinlang bowed repeatedly: "I dare not, Master Wei is even more extraordinary in appearance and character."

It's really extraordinary. I've never seen such a sloppy official.

The officials were somewhat uninterested - they had heard that she was the lover of King Jing, and they thought they would see a great beauty, but they did not expect her to be so plain. King Jing was a famous handsome man, how could he have such a lover? It seemed that it was all a rumor.

Wei Fuguang did not regard himself as an outsider at all. He walked into the county government office and greeted the officials: "My lords, don't just stand there. Come in. Don't be polite!"

...and it seems like something is missing.

Yang Jinlang didn't care at all. He followed closely beside Wei Fuguang and led her to the right path: "Master Wei, that's the prison. Please come this way."

Wei Fuguang was caught off guard and bowed deeply to Yang Jinlang, "Master Yang is such a good man!"

The officials and bailiffs couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yang Jinlang's mouth twitched: "...Master Wei, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."

The county magistrate came over from the side, his face no longer showing the awe he had before. He just regarded Wei Fuguang as a girl who was ignorant of the world and joked, "Master Wei, if you want to go to the prison to take a look, that's fine."

Wei Fuguang took a small step back and shook his head repeatedly: "What's there to see in that place? Besides, I didn't come here for the prison."

Yang Jinlang asked tentatively, "Why are you here, Lord Wei?"
