Liu Cai narrowed his eyes, watching the two carriages turn a corner, and exclaimed, "Yes, your young shopkeeper is back!"
Manager Jin quickly let go of Liu Cai's arm and chased after him.
Liu Cai also walked towards the street.
The carriage was moving very fast and entered the alley in the blink of an eye.
Shopkeeper Jin stopped and said to Liu Cai, "Maybe it's my young shopkeeper who's back. You're not mistaken."
After saying that, he turned and walked into Liuji Restaurant.
This scene stunned Liu Cai.
He chased after him and said, "Why don't you go and see why your young shopkeeper has come back?"
Seeing how excited Lao Jin was just now, it’s not appropriate to go back to the restaurant now.
Shopkeeper Jin smiled and said, "Of course I have to go. I have to let the restaurant know and bring some cooked food."
He patted Liu Cai on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to the restaurant and have some drinks."
"I have to go to the Fu family too. There's no rush to have a drink." Liu Cai laughed.
You should know that he was promoted from the position of the head of the Qingshan Town to the position of the county magistrate of Ling County, all thanks to Fu Ciyi's contribution.
Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he wonders whether Lord Fu, the chief minister of the cabinet, has been given an important position. He has to find out.
So Liu Cai followed Manager Jin back to the restaurant. After Manager Jin told the waiters that he was leaving for a while, he took a lot of cooked food and the two of them left the restaurant together.
The Fu family at this moment.
Fu Beimo jumped out of the car first, took out the key and opened the gate.
The courtyard was still the same as when they left.
Yan Funing also got out of the car with the help of Fu Ciyi.
"The yard is very clean. I think it's because Uncle Yu and Aunt Lou come to clean it often." Yan Funing said, "It's getting late today. When I have some free time, I must thank them."
Fu Ciyi nodded: "Yeah."
It was the first time for Fu Xi and Liu Lu to come to Ling County, and also the first time for them to visit the Fu family in Qingshan Town.
The courtyard in front of him was not big, and he could see the main courtyard at a glance. Fu Xi couldn't help but say, "The home where the young master and the young lady used to live was quite cozy."
"It's really cozy." Fu Beimo said, "I live in the west wing, Nanyao lives in the east wing, and my brother and sister-in-law live in the main courtyard. We can see them as soon as we look up."
Everyone walked inside.
At this time, Manager Jin and Liu Cai arrived outside the Fu family's door.
Sure enough, the two of them saw two carriages parked at the gate of the courtyard. They were the same carriages they had just seen.
"Are the young manager and Master Fu back?" Manager Jin shouted at the gate of the courtyard, holding the food box.
Hearing the familiar voice, Yan Funing turned around and saw the person coming. She happily called out, "Uncle Jin, the County Magistrate."
The two of them walked in quickly.
Shopkeeper Jin handed the food box to Caiyu and bowed with Liu Cai: "Greetings, Master Fu!"
Fu Ciyi raised his hand.
Caiyu spoke quickly: "The pavilion chief has become the county magistrate. Didn't he receive the news from the court?"
When Liu Cai heard this, he panicked and blurted out, "They say a new emperor appoints new ministers. Could it be that Master Fu was dismissed and sent back home?"
"Ah?" The few people who had just returned to Qingshan Town were stunned.
Fu Beimo said, "County Magistrate Liu, how did you get this information?"
"The county government received a document from the imperial court stating that the new emperor would ascend the throne in the new year. I thought that a new emperor would appoint his ministers, and if he ascended the throne, he would definitely appoint his trusted ministers as key officials. Lord Fu was the Prime Minister appointed by the previous emperor, and perhaps because of this, he was targeted and could no longer serve as Prime Minister."
Now we are back to Qingshan Town.
Fu Ciyi smiled and said, "What County Magistrate Liu said is also true."
That's the truth.
He was indeed targeted, and he was not the prime minister of the cabinet.
Seeing that his brother was not anxious, Fu Beimo became anxious.
He hurriedly added, "It's true that the new emperor has ascended the throne, and it's also true that my brother is no longer the Prime Minister..."
Before Fu Beimo could finish his words, Liu Cai immediately responded, "What a pity! Master Fu is a pillar of our Dajing. The new emperor is so..."
After all, he is the new emperor. As the county magistrate of Ling County, even though he is far away from the capital, he cannot say anything treasonous.
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.
But I can't help but speak out.
Therefore, his expression was quite uncomfortable and complicated.
After a slight pause, he continued, "Master Fu should be reused by the court and continue to serve as the chief minister of the cabinet."
It’s a pity that he is only an eighth-rank county magistrate and his influence is not influential.
It was Lord Fu who helped him get the position of county magistrate.
When I think of this, I feel even more uncomfortable.
Yan Funing shook her head and looked at Fu Ciyi: "Husband..."
Before she could finish her words, Fu Nanyao said, "It's a great honor that the Pavilion Chief has become the County Magistrate of Liu County."
Liu Cai waved his hand and said, "It's all thanks to Lord Fu's promotion. Now that Lord Fu is no longer the Prime Minister, what's the point of me being the County Magistrate?"
There is no one above, so he will probably be taken down soon.
Even the county magistrate Lu Wenfeng will probably be there soon.
Fu Nanyao smiled and said, "My brother is indeed not the Prime Minister of the Cabinet anymore, but we are still living a pretty good life."
"I know this is to comfort me." Liu Cai sighed.
Shopkeeper Jin felt uncomfortable after hearing this: "I'm not an official, I only do business, but now that Master Fu is like this, I..." He paused and suggested, "Let's have a drink tonight to welcome him back."
He didn't bring enough dishes.
We have to prepare something better so that Lord Fu and the others can enjoy their meal.
Fu Nanyao couldn't hold it in any longer: "You two don't have to be like this. Although my brother is not the Prime Minister of the Cabinet now, he is the Prince of Rui."
"King Rui?" Shopkeeper Jin was puzzled. "When did he become king?"
"Your Highness Prince Rui?" Liu Cai frowned, then laughed out loud. "You, what is your relationship with the new emperor?"
"After all, he is the county magistrate, so he knows a little bit." Fu Beimo said with a smile, "The new emperor is our father."
"What about the queen?" Liu Cai asked again.
"Our mother." Fu Beimo said again.
"Wanniang became the queen?" Shopkeeper Jin raised his voice and turned to look at Yan Funing. "Young Shopkeeper, I believe what you say. Go ahead and tell me."
Yan Funing smiled slightly. "Mother has indeed become the Empress, so it's inconvenient for her to come back this time, so she's staying in the palace. More than ten years ago, Mother, pregnant, fled to Ling County with the current Prince Rui. She was murdered by a treacherous person. After my husband came to the capital, by chance, his true identity was revealed. He, Nan Yao, and Bei Mo were all descendants of the then Prince of Jin. Now that the late Emperor has passed away and the Prince of Jin has ascended to the throne, Mother has become Empress, and my husband and Nan Yao and Bei Mo have all become princes and princesses."
Things were complicated, so she could only make it short.
Hearing this, Manager Jin and Liu Cai burst into laughter.
Liu Cai clapped his hands and said happily, "I finally understand. A prince cannot be the chief minister of the cabinet. How can a son assist his father?"
The new emperor is Lord Fu's father, and Lord Fu can no longer sit on the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet no matter what.
"Good news, good news!" Shopkeeper Jin laughed out loud, "Our Qingshan Town has produced a queen. Now His Royal Highness Prince Rui, the princess..." His gaze shifted to Fu Beimo, "Master Beimo, what kind of prince are you?"
"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Fu Beimo said deliberately.
This sentence made everyone laugh so hard that they almost couldn't stand up straight.
