Early 20th day of the first lunar month.
After finishing the affairs in the capital, Yuchi Shuang set out with Yang Hongjin to Yuezhou to take up his fiefdom.
The prince of Dayong was granted a fiefdom and had great power, equivalent to a small country.
The fiefdom had the right to appoint various officials by itself, and the imperial court would not interfere.
All they had to do was report to the court and pay tribute regularly.
So at this time, the original officials of Yuezhou were a little panicked.
They didn't know whether there would be a major change of personnel after the King of Yue came, and they didn't dare to ask.
The chubby young master received news that the King of Yue was going to his fiefdom in Yuezhou, but he was not in a hurry.
He was just a small county magistrate, and when he heard that Yuchi Shuang had become the Princess of Yue, he felt more at ease.
Shuang'er is familiar with his wife and she always called him Brother Lu. She still has the social etiquette.
When Yang Hongjin arrived and walked around the palace, he would be the least likely person to be fired.
Su Yanan brought tea to Lu Qian who was sitting at the desk, and Lu Qian told her about this.
"I didn't expect Shuang'er to become the Princess of Yue and come to Yuezhou." Su Yanan said in surprise after hearing this.
This fate is also quite wonderful. It has only been a short time since we left the capital, and we meet again. Lu Qian nodded and said,
"What a coincidence! When they arrive, we must go to the palace to pay our respects to them.
By the way, I can also discuss some official matters with the King of Yue."
Su Yanan smiled and said "OK". She was very happy. With this relationship, if Lu Qian could make some achievements, his career in Yuezhou would surely be at its peak.
…
When Yang Hongjin and his companions were on their way, Yuchi Shuang asked him if he could send a fast horse to Binhai County in southern Xinjiang to deliver a message to his sister's home.
Of course there was no problem. Yang Hongjin agreed without thinking. Jiang Hai had previously said that he would bring him local specialties when he arrived at his fiefdom.
Yang Hongjin still remembered this incident. He even thought about whether he would get the pistol that Yuchi Zhong used. He had been coveting it for a long time.
At this time, Jiang Hai's family, whom they were concerned about, was making a mess at the New Hot Spring Resort.
The small resort for our own use was completed years ago and the roads were paved.
After staying in Xincheng until the Lantern Festival, Jiang Hai and his family packed their bags and went out to enjoy their first vacation of the new year.
The mountain has no name, so the resort was named very casually.
Qin Bai found an engineering team in the city to do the work. Brother Bai was quite straightforward. He saw that the mountain was flat and looked like a bun from a distance.
So Qin Bai gave it a name, "Mantou Mountain". Then, the plaque at the gate of the resort read "Mantou Mountain Resort".
The theme is very down-to-earth and very memorable.
Jiang Hai didn't worry about it. After all, everyone would get used to calling him that.
A hot spring swimming pool was also built in Jiang Hai's yard according to his plan.
Beach chairs, umbrellas, small tables with juices, perfect.
At this time, Jiang Hai was patiently coaxing his wife into wearing a swimsuit when learning to swim.
"So, this way there won't be too much resistance in the water, and it will be easier to learn." Jiang Hai said, raising four fingers.
"I'm sure this makes sense. If you don't believe me, go swim and try to see how different it is to wear a full set of clothes and a swimsuit.
Please believe that your husband is a professional and will definitely teach you until you learn it."
"Why do I feel like you are fooling me again?" Yuchi Ziling did not comment.
Looking at the tiny bit of cloth in her hand, her face flushed and she felt extremely embarrassed.
Jiang Hai proved that he was not fooling her with a serious expression, pointing to his swimming trunks and said,
"I'm not kidding you. Didn't you see I was swimming in just my shorts?"
"But this is so embarrassing. What if someone sees us?"
"Don't worry, the walls of these courtyards are so high. I've locked the door."
"No, no, I can climb up this wall with just a flip." Yuchi Ziling shook her head like a rattle.
The first wave of attack failed, and the eldest lady disagreed.
Then, Young Master Jiang jumped in and swam two laps without much interest, while his wife sat on a chair drinking a drink and watched him swim.
After a while.
Jiang Hai walked to the edge of the swimming pool, took a step back and discussed with her,
"How about this, I'll teach you to swim at night when everyone else is asleep?"
The young lady thought about it and it seemed like a solution, so she nodded in agreement and emphasized,
"We agreed to just teach you how to swim."
"Yeah, of course I have to. If I lie to you, I'd be a puppy." Jiang Hai nodded rapidly.
As for whether it is a puppy or not, it is just a catchphrase for Young Master Jiang.
That night, when it was late and quiet.
The sound of swimming could be heard in Jiang Hai's courtyard...
When the couple finished their study and returned to the house to rest, the eldest daughter said in a bad mood,
"Don't they say liars are puppies?"
"Woof woof...hehehe."
Young Master Jiang barked twice as if he was familiar with the place, with a look of triumph on his face, and fell onto the bed with a silly grin on his face.
With a look of contempt, Yuchi Ziling realized how shameless this guy was, so she tidied herself up and took a rest.
But he didn't sleep, he was wiping his hair. Yuchi Ziling asked,
"What did you ask Wang Lue to do before he came here? He didn't even come this time."
Before leaving, Jiang Hai went to the Xincheng government office and talked to Wang Lue about something.
When his wife asked, Jiang Hai replied,
"Let him arrange for someone to grow the seedlings."
"Seedling cultivation?"
"Well, we have a lot of sweet potatoes planted here. If we expand the planting this year, it might be useful."
After hearing what Jiang Hai said, Yuchi Ziling nodded. As for the food issue, they had to pay attention.
After being in Xincheng for so long, she also knew what sweet potatoes were, a high-yield crop.
"It's almost time to grow seedlings, and in a month or so, we can plant them," Jiang Hai explained.
"Hmm. Do you even know about farming and mulberry?"
"I know a little bit, but it's enough." Jiang Hai said modestly.
Because of the intelligence he had received from Yang Hongye, Jiang Hai expected that this year might not be peaceful, so he made preparations early.
In fact, food had already piled up like mountains in Xincheng.
However, to be on the safe side, he took an extra precaution and planted more sweet potatoes.
…
It was early February, and this year's Spring Examination began.
Luo Zheng walked into the examination room carrying a basket, and it was Mrs. Guo herself who brought him there.
Guo Qianqian did not come. Since Yuchi Shuang went to Nanzhou, Qingyun Villa was handed over to Guo Qianqian and Lu Wan to manage.
Luo Zheng now understood that his cousin had been avoiding him since last year's literary gathering. He thought it was because he ignored her at the gathering.
But he didn't think it was a big deal. As long as he passed the Spring Examination, his starting point in his official career would be much higher than others.
With the help of my father, everything will definitely go smoothly.
However.
Things didn't go as he had hoped. After the three exams, he felt extremely exhausted. He felt that he was going to fail and felt a little discouraged.
At this time, when he was communicating with some students who came to take the exam, he received a piece of news.
