Watching Ye Ming's departing figure, Ye Erniu sighed to Sun Shi, "Ming'er is still too sensible. I eat, drink, and rest well every day, what's wrong with leading a horse for him?"
Sun glanced at him and said, "Don't be so happy. You know it's because Ming'er cares about you."
Ye Ming rode his horse at a slow pace, following his family all the way.
The gates of the Ye residence had just been opened.
"Tomorrow, go to your room, and Dad will bring you hot water right away."
Ye Ming wanted to refuse, but Sun had already pulled him towards her room.
"Hurry up and change into these clothes. I'll wash them for you. I've put a new set of clothes in the room for you. You'll wear the new one in a little while."
Ye Panjiu watched this scene with a smile.
This is what family is all about; warmth and care are always present.
The number of candidates for the provincial examination was much larger than that for the county examination, and the time for the results to be announced was much longer.
Ye Ming remained calm and patient, and didn't completely relax just because the exam was over.
He still follows his own pace, reading books all day long.
The only difference is that he always takes Ye Panjiu with him when he practices martial arts for half an hour every day.
Ye Taohua and Heng Tong followed along.
The other members of the Ye family, however, were less able to sit still.
Ye Daniu was the first to get restless and rode back to the horse farm, as he was worried about the horse farm.
At first, Old Man Ye and Old Woman Ye were very enthusiastic about exploring Shuzhou, but after a few days, they became too lazy to go out anymore.
He was stuck in the huge house with nothing to do, so he paced around anxiously.
When Ye Ming finally returned, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took a carriage home. Before even getting home, he went straight to the fields.
Seeing the tender green wheat seedlings in the field finally put my mind at ease.
This is what farmers care about most.
When Sun was idle, she became irritable. She was always finding fault with this and that, and would explode at the slightest provocation.
Ye Erniu was the first to be mentioned and was the one who was read the most.
Ye Panjiu quickly came up with a solution for them: to open another shop near Shuzhou.
She inquired with Duan Jingcheng and was told that it would take at least ten days to get the results, so she was given seven days.
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun, along with Ye Erniu, Ye Guihua, and the three Lai brothers, rode at full speed to the nearby prefecture city.
Opening a shop would be great!
It's good to have something to do!
Fortunately, Liu was not too worried about the shop in Qingshui County.
Ms. Tian is a very reliable aunt, and Sansheng knows a lot about Jiujiu Lu, so there's no need to worry.
She was actually quite busy every day, and she and Cuihua would bring cold dishes to Jiujiu Lu every day.
Because of the constant communication with strangers in Jiujiu Lu, the mother and daughter became noticeably different.
I'm no longer so timid when I speak.
When Yan Yu went to Qingshui Village again, she found it empty.
He was a little worried, so he immediately turned his horse around and went to the county government office.
In his heart, Ye Panjiu was indeed like family to him.
To him, Su Yan was like a biological older brother, and Ye Panjiu was like a sister-in-law he greatly respected.
When they arrived at the county government office, Chu Guan was judging a case.
As soon as he appeared, Chu Guan saw him.
But he didn't stop there. Instead, he thoroughly investigated the case and made a fair judgment, which drew cheers from the people outside the yamen.
"Your Honor, the Upright Official!"
"Our magistrate has redressed our grievances!"
Chu Guan's appointment as magistrate was indeed a blessing for the people of Qingshui County.
As the heir of the Earl of Yongchang and a sixth-rank official, he was the only county magistrate in the entire Daliang who held a higher position.
Therefore, he didn't need to consider any social relationships, was not short of money, and did not accept any bribes.
All that is needed is to follow the laws of the Great Liang Dynasty, investigate the case thoroughly, and make a judgment.
The constables of Qingshui County were originally not very capable, their investigative methods were not sophisticated enough, and many of them had nepotistic relationships with the county magistrate.
But with Chu Guan's arrival, the capable were put to the task, and his guards were even more skilled, raising the abilities of these constables considerably.
Chu Guan strode into the backyard of the county government office, where Yan Yu was already waiting for him.
Upon seeing him, they first bowed respectfully, saying, "Lord Chu."
Chu Guan quickly helped him up, "Brother Yan, why are you being so polite? How have you been lately?"
Yan Yu smiled and patted his shoulder, "Good, the case you just handled was brilliant, you're getting better and better."
The once arrogant and unruly young master now appears to be more and more composed.
Chu Guan shook his head. "This case is simpler. I'm far inferior to Brother Su."
His role model has always been Su Yan, and he feels that even his father, Chu Li, is not as good as Su Yan.
As for war, his father had more military achievements, but that was because Su Yan fought fewer battles. Whenever Su Yan was called upon to go to a battlefield, it was usually because the Great Liang was on the verge of collapse and no one else could save it, so he was the only one who could do it.
In the imperial court, his father couldn't bear to watch. He said that the Wang family had tricked him like this for so many years!
When he saw it, besides his anger towards the Wang family, he felt even more regret for himself and the Chu family.
So many people, yet the Wang family has them completely manipulated.
The Wang family was defeated, and the court officials all said it was the current emperor, Sheng Ping, who was responsible.
He understood, however, that the position of prime minister for two dynasties was not for nothing; such a major event must have been the work of Su Yan.
But no one thought it was Su Yan.
He had been so cunning and calculating; it was something he had always dreamed of.
Yan Yu smiled and steered the conversation back to the main topic, "I have something to discuss with Madam Ye, but there's no one at the Ye family's residence?"
Chu Guan quickly explained, "Young Brother Ye Ming is going to Shuzhou to take the provincial examination, and the Ye family has all gone with him. You can go to Shuzhou to find him."
"You know so much about this?" Yan Yu asked casually.
Chu Guan was taken aback. "Sister Pan Jiu always sends a message before she leaves, so I know."
Yan Yu nodded.
He was keeping an eye on this kid for the adults.
Chu Guan's heart skipped a beat. Actually, he only realized the Ye family had left when he saw that Ye Guihua was no longer at Jiujiu Lu.
Since Ye Guihua and the other two returned this time, they have sought him out to discuss the matter of forging his letter.
He admired Ye Guihua's courage and resourcefulness at the time, and after encountering her many times by chance, he began to take notice.
Using Sister Panjiu as a pretext is definitely not wrong; apart from this time, she has indeed come to say goodbye in the past.
Yan Yu didn't reminisce with him anymore, and left the county government office heading straight for Shuzhou.
He smiled as he looked at the Ye residence, which now had a different sign.
Who would believe that half a year ago, when he was ordered by his superior to investigate the Ye family, the Ye family didn't even have a house number?
Now they even have a house in Shuzhou.
Madam Ye is truly remarkable.
Ye Ling'er opened the door for him, and as soon as she saw him, she jumped on him, exclaiming, "Uncle Yan is here!"
Yan Yu picked up Ye Ling'er, took out a piece of candy and gave it to her, saying, "Ling'er has grown taller again."
He frequented the Ye family home, and Ye Ling'er and he were quite close.
Ye Ling'er obediently put away the candy and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you, Uncle Yan. Ling'er has already had some candy today. I'll have this one tomorrow."
Yan Yu smiled brightly, "Ling'er is so good."
The child was lively, and Ye Ling'er struggled to get downstairs again. "Mother is reading in the room. Uncle Yan, go find her!"
She's going to find Nannan and Hao'er to play!
Yan Yu watched her skip away, then smiled and walked into Ye Panjiu's house.
