Not long after the Chinese New Year, Xi Rui, Xi Rong and Liang Youxiao set off for northern Xinjiang.
Fei Yuzhe was originally planning to return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, but the emperor appointed him to replace Xiao Hanzheng as the magistrate of Heyang County.
Because there were still many things to do in the handover, he had to stay in Heyang County and celebrate the New Year with the Xiao family, so he was not on the return trip this time.
Qi Yiyang returned to Beijing specifically to celebrate the New Year, and after staying for a few days he followed the three of them back.
This time, there is also the fifth prince who follows him stubbornly.
Also because of the presence of the Fifth Prince, the children of noble families who were previously thrown into the Northern Frontier were thrown out again by their family elders and joined in.
The group left the capital in a mighty manner, and Xiao Hanzheng handed over all the work in his hands to Fei Yuzhe.
This is a relatively good situation. After all, Fei Yuzhe has been in charge of Heyang County for such a long time and is very familiar with the situation.
Nor will a harsh or corrupt county magistrate suddenly appear and oppress the people.
Fei Yuzhe was also preparing to enter the officialdom, and this was a good opportunity for him.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo have already paved the way for him. He only needs to maintain and expand on the original basis, and his political achievements will definitely be good.
Especially after the cement roads leading to the capital and the north city are built, the connection of trade routes will make Heyang County the only way for people from the Western Regions to the capital and the north city, which will inevitably drive the development of the county.
The news that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo were leaving spread quickly.
The people were not happy at all, and some even cried.
"What should we do if Lord Xiao and Madam leave?"
"Yes, our life has finally started to get better, why did Lord Xiao and Madam leave?"
"I really don't want Lord Xiao and Madam to leave. Heyang County has changed a lot since they came here."
"That's right. My relative came to visit from the next county a few days ago and was surprised to see us. He said he had never seen such a lively county town."
"And Daidai and the group of geese. After the madam left, we will no longer see a group of geese patrolling."
"Can Lord Xiao and Madam not leave? Why don't we write a letter to all the people, asking the emperor to let Lord Xiao continue to stay in Heyang County."
"Although I am reluctant to let Lord Xiao leave, if we submit a petition to the people like this, it will harm Lord Xiao. I heard that he is going to be the prefect of North City."
"That's right. If that's the case, it will hinder Master Xiao. I really hope that the couple can continue to stay in Heyang County!"
"I don't know who will take over Heyang County in the future. If the next county magistrate is like that, won't our lives go back to the way they were before?"
"I have heard about this. Lord Fei was nominated to take over the position of county magistrate."
"If it's Master Fei, then it's fine."
"Yes, if Lord Fei becomes the county magistrate, it will be a good thing for us. After all, he and Lord Xiao are good friends."
Lord Xiao is so upright and cares about the people, so his friends must be good too.
When Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo were leaving, not only did people from the entire county come to see them off, but villagers from various villages who could come after hearing the news also came.
You send a basket of eggs, I send a basket of vegetables, fruits, and pickled pork, mutton, and chicken. I must ask Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo to accept them.
This was a farewell gift, and Xiao Hanzheng didn't want to let his fellow villagers down, so he accepted it.
Then he ordered the servant to see so many people coming to see him off, and many of them even cried.
Xiao Hanzheng was rarely moved. He felt that all the things he had done since coming to Heyang County were not in vain.
He smiled and waved to everyone, "Don't worry, Master Fei will lead you to live a good life in the future."
"Master Xiao, Madam, take care on your journey!"
"I wish Sir Xiao continued success."
"Master Xiao, Madam, please remember to bring Daidai and the others back to visit us when you have time in the future!"
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo both agreed.
Daidai, who was following Shi Qingluo, also called out to the people of Heyang County with a bit of human reluctance.
"Woo woo, Dai Dai is leaving, I still want to play with it."
"Woo woo, I don't want to leave in a daze."
When in Heyang County, Daidai followed Shi Qingluo's instructions and asked him to take the geese and keep a close eye on the children.
So Daidai led the geese to play with the children, and at the beginning he even rescued several children who were taken away by kidnappers.
If it encounters someone bullying a child, it will bring a group of geese to chase and bite them.
It will also take the children everywhere to play wildly, and because it is accompanied by a group of geese, parents are very relieved.
Therefore, when Daidai and the group of geese left, the children in the county town were the most reluctant to see them go.
There were also children crying on the ground, refusing to leave.
But no matter how reluctant you are to leave, you still have to go.
After getting on the carriage, Daidai lay lazily and listlessly at Shi Qingluo's feet, and it was obvious that he was not very happy.
Shi Qingluo reached out and touched its head, "Don't be sad, goose, mommy will bring you to see them in the future."
"When we get to North City, you can also take your geese to continue patrolling and watch over the children in North City so that they are not taken away by kidnappers."
After hearing what Mama said, Daidai perked up a little and called out, rubbing her hand.
Xiao Hanzheng's originally uncomfortable mood was eased a lot because of Daidai's behavior.
He was even more determined that as long as he was in Northern Xinjiang, he would work hard for the people and make their lives better.
Shi Qingluo had similar thoughts. So many people had seen them off and given them gifts, expressing their gratitude and reluctance to leave. Her eyes were red.
She also wants to do more practical and good things for the people.
Xiao's mother, Xiao Xiaomei and Erlang were also a little sad and reluctant. The family sat in the carriage for two days before they recovered.
King Yi did not accompany the emperor this time. He went to a small town on the border and handed over the matters at hand to the person newly sent by the emperor.
After the handover is completed, he will follow his wife to North City.
The Xiao family members headed towards the North City.
At the Second Prince's Mansion in the capital, Liang Hengshao went to the side courtyard with his entourage and the groom.
Ge Chunyi was warming herself by the fire in the inner room.
The child was sitting nearby, held by the nurse.
Because she was no longer favored, the servants began to take advantage of her misfortune.
Not only was there no iron coal stove for roasting, we could only use a brazier, and the charcoal provided was of relatively poor quality and very choking.
For the sake of herself and her son, Ge Chunyi could only use her own pocket money to buy high-quality charcoal for burning every month.
Every day you have to spend money to reward the kitchen staff, otherwise the food they serve will not only be cold soup and water, but also very poor quality.
Therefore, money is spent like water.
Fortunately, her sister had someone send her tens of thousands of taels of silver before, otherwise she couldn't imagine how she would survive in this remote courtyard.
She looked at the son held by the wet nurse, and couldn't help but feel a little hope.
I hope the Second Prince will remember his son and come here to see him and his mother.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard the maid's voice respectfully bowing, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Ge Chunyi's eyes lit up. The second prince finally came to see her. Was he here to take them out?
It must be, she believed that he cared about her and her child, and he would definitely come to pick them up.
