Chapter 250: Settlement of Old Friends
After a short rest, the group set off again. This time, except for the officials who rode on horseback, everyone else had to walk.
Fortunately, the children had grown much more sensible after this journey, and no one had any objections. As for Wu, she had to suppress her opinions because she was afraid that Yue Zhenhe would divorce her.
When they were tired, they stopped to rest and eat dry food.
The weather in the south was hot, and coupled with their poor diet, in just three days, their once fair faces had become tanned, and their spirits had also deteriorated. Although they still didn't look very thin, they were in much better shape than before.
In addition, they were all wearing tattered clothes, so even if the officials of Qianzhou saw them, they would not think much of it.
As we were walking, a child suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, "Look, that's the city gate. We're almost there."
Everyone raised their heads and looked forward. Sure enough, a tall city gate stood there, and the words "Qianzhou" came into everyone's sight.
"Haha, we're finally here." The group became happy, and their feet, which had originally had no strength, seemed to be full of power at this moment.
Soon, the group arrived at the city gate and lined up with everyone else to enter the city.
As soon as she entered the city, Yue Fuli heard someone shouting at her, "Miss, Miss! Madam, Madam."
Hearing the familiar shout, Yue Fuli turned around and saw Steward Lin standing at the city gate and greeting them.
Yue Fuli hadn't been able to find him before and thought he hadn't arrived in Qianzhou. Now that she saw him, she was finally relieved.
"Butler Lin, why are you here?" Yue Fuli walked towards Butler Lin and asked with a smile, "Are you all okay?"
"We're all fine, we were just worried about you. Look, we heard you'd be arriving in the next few days, so I've been waiting here every day, and finally you've arrived."
"Don't worry, we're fine too. Go back first, and we'll come find you after we've settled down."
Housekeeper Lin knew that Yue Fuli and the others still had to go to the government office, and that the government would have the final say on where they would be settled.
However, he has already made arrangements and should be able to arrange a better place for the Yue family by then.
After saying goodbye to Steward Lin, Yue Fuli returned to the team and went to the government office.
When Hu Wei went to negotiate, he also secretly gave money to the person in charge of the arrangements, asking them to arrange the Yue family to a good village.
The officials in charge of the arrangements were willing to give Hu Wei the benefit of the doubt when they saw him personally intercede. Furthermore, since someone had already given him money, they naturally wouldn't make it difficult.
Therefore, the Yue family and their group were arranged to stay in a village near the provincial capital, which was only about ten miles away from the city, making it very convenient to enter the city.
Hu Wei was very happy to know that the place arranged by the Yue family was near the provincial capital, and he specially invited the person in charge to have a drink.
Yue Fuli and his party didn't have to wait long before they were taken away and settled by officials from Qianzhou.
They were placed in Qingshan Village, a small village near the mountains. Half of the villagers were exiled, and the village was divided by a river: the south bank of the river was occupied by the original villagers, while the north bank was occupied by the exiles.
The people on the north bank looked at the newcomers curiously, as their village hadn't had any newcomers come for a long time.
I don't know where this new guy comes from, but he must be capable to be assigned here.
