The Wu family was a military family with many people. They just bought a big house, cleaned it and moved in. They didn't care about the style, as long as it was livable, and it was very rough.
The Shi family used to be farmers, and the house they bought even had a piece of yellow mud land. When Xie Ling just went there, Shi Shaowen and Shi Shaoxuan had already started farming with great enthusiasm and smiles.
The Gao family is very wealthy and modified all of their houses to reflect their luxurious style.
Right now, Gao Wanhua's father Gao Cunyi is standing on a bench, painting the large column in the main hall red. His hair is tied up in a mess, and his cuffs are bright red.
As he was brushing, he shouted, "Gao Wanhua, I asked you to brush the wooden boards of the ancestral hall, where did you go?"
Gao Wanhua hurriedly pushed Xie Ling forward, "Xie Ling asked me to go play with her."
Gao Cunyi narrowed his eyes and saw that it was Xie Ling. He quickly jumped down and wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes. He said eagerly, "Xie Ling, hurry up and come in and sit down. I haven't packed much yet, so just make do with it for now. When everything is ready, I'll go and invite you and Gu Wei to come over to play."
Xie Ling is now equivalent to "someone else's child" in the exile team, and everyone who sees her praises her.
Xie Ling took a look at the magnificent decoration and felt that Gao Cunyi's words "it was not tidied up much" were really questionable.
She smiled and said, "Uncle Gao, I have something else to do at home, so I came in to see you. I have to go now. I'll come to your house for dinner another day."
Gao Cunyi nodded regretfully, "Then remember to come and play some other day. Gao Wanhua, go and send Xie Ling off."
Gao Wanhua nodded happily, took Xie Ling's arm and walked her out to the alley.
As the two girls were walking, a man slowly approached on the bluestone street ahead.
The man was wearing dark green official uniform, with his hair all tied up in a tall white jade crown. He had a noble and elegant temperament, and his waist was tied with a neat white jade belt. He had a slender figure. When he walked, his robe spread out, revealing the cloud pattern embroidery on the inside. He was extremely handsome.
It was Gu Wei who had just returned from the county government office.
Gu Wei could have returned in the afternoon, but the county government had so many matters piled up that despite his efficiency, he was still delayed until now.
Gao Wanhua raised her eyebrows, nudged Xie Ling lightly with her elbow, said with a smile: "It seems I can't see you off", then turned around and ran away in a hurry, very tactful.
Gu Wei saw Xie Ling from a distance. When Gao Wanhua ran into his house, he walked over with his long legs, bent down, picked up Xie Ling, and whispered, "Madam, do you miss me? This is the first time I've been away from you for such a long time. I'm really not used to it."
Xie Ling quickly looked around and patted Gu Wei on the shoulder, "What are you doing? Put me down."
Gu Wei chuckled, leaned close to Xie Ling's ear, and said teasingly, "We haven't seen each other for so long, what's wrong with a hug? We are legal husband and wife."
When he mentioned the words "legal husband and wife", his tone became more emphatic, as if hinting at something.
Xie Ling had no choice but to bury her face in Gu Wei's arms. She didn't want others to see what she looked like. It was too embarrassing.
Although this street is deserted, there are still some families living here besides Gu Wei and his family.
At this time, women from several families came out to pour water. When they looked up, they saw Gu Wei holding Xie Ling.
Under a cold crescent moon, the man was tall, and the ordinary court robes he wore gave him an abstinent air.
His eyes and eyebrows were clearly stern, but when he looked down at his wife in his arms, he was very gentle, as if he was coaxing a child.
The women lowered their heads almost at the same time, their faces flushed with shame but also filled with a bit of envy.
This new county magistrate is not only handsome, but also so loving to his wife. It is truly rare.
After Gu Wei and Xie Ling walked away, all the women looked up almost at the same time, watching them go away with envy.
Xie Ling lowered her head, just trying to cover up her mistake.
Because everyone in Jinling Lane knows that the new county magistrate lives here.
What's more, Gu Wei is so conspicuous that it is hard not to notice him.
As they walked, Gu Wei asked, "What did you do at home today?"
"Nothing, Uncle Qizhu said he was good at carpentry, so I asked him to make furniture and took a look at the back garden..."
At this point, Xie Ling frowned and told Gu Wei what she had discovered in the back garden.
Gu Wei fell into deep thought, "It's a bit strange, is there something hidden in the back mountain? I'll go with you to take a look after I hand in the recommendation documents tomorrow."
As he spoke, he walked to the door of his house.
Xie Ling kicked her legs, signaling Gu Wei to put her down.
Gu Wei chuckled, his peach blossom eyes curled up, "So shy."
Xie Ling rolled her eyes.
After dinner in the evening, Gu Wei went around to every household.
He had roughly sorted out the accumulated government affairs of Sinan County yesterday. Now it was up to other people.
Gao Jia, who works in the Ministry of Revenue, can manage finances.
The Shi family of Si Nong can be in charge of farming affairs.
The Wu family of the Ministry of Personnel can organize a military camp.
These families are the best in the Beijiang court, not to mention a small Sinan County.
In every household, Gu Wei's words made everyone's heart surge with heat. Everyone's face was flushed and they were so excited that they were speechless.
Everyone felt that once they arrived in Lingnan, they would become just ordinary people, and almost everyone was ready to do business in a down-to-earth manner.
The Shi family prepared to plant crops and buy vegetables, Gao Cunyi prepared to be a shopkeeper, and Wu Daqiang prepared to go to the dock to unload goods...
They didn't expect that Gu Wei would be willing to employ them. Could they go back to their old business?
The most excited person was Wu Daqiang.
He grew up in a military camp, and his several children also grew up in the military camp. They were all very brave, and the pain of leaving the military camp was no less than cutting off a piece of flesh from their bodies.
