Chapter 228 Conquering the Salt Field



Xie Ling propped up her chin, looked through the screen window at the bright white full moon outside, and asked, "When do you think my mother, uncle and others will arrive in Sinan County?"

"How about I send the Bifang bird to take a look?"

Xie Ling shook her head. "Forget it. Even if Bifang goes to see them, she can only know when they will come, but she can't speed them up. Bifang birds are precious, and it's autumn now, so I'm afraid it will be in danger. Let it have fun with Gungun in space."

Gu Wei pinched the tip of Xie Ling's nose and said, "You miss your family."

Xie Ling nodded, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I was thinking about spending it with my mother and uncle, but it seems there is no hope now."

Gu Wei sighed softly, "There are still countless Mid-Autumn Festivals to come, don't be afraid, and what if it comes before the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Xie Ling sat up straight, "Yes, maybe. I'll send someone to clean the house I bought for them again."

Gu Wei pulled Xie Ling aside, staring straight into her eyes with his deep peach blossom eyes, "Come with me to the county government office tomorrow."

Xie Ling was puzzled, "Why?"

"You'll know when you get there."

On the second day, Xie Ling was pulled out of bed by Gu Wei and went to the county government office in Sinan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the entrance, she heard two yamen runners shouting, "Thank you, Lord!"

Xie Ling was puzzled and looked around, but didn't see anyone else.

Gu Wei put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I'm calling you."

Xie Ling's eyes widened. "Call me? Are you kidding?"

Gu Wei said seriously, "I'm not kidding. You have made an invaluable contribution to the reconstruction of Sinan County. You deserve the position of Chief Clerk."

Xie Ling frowned, "The chief clerk is in charge of the staff of the government affairs. What do you think the scholars, staff and Xu Xingzhi of Sinan County will think?"

Gu Wei shook his head, "Originally I didn't want to give you an official position, you have to look after the land and salt fields, and you have to manage the industry, I'm worried that you will be burdened.

It was Xu Xingzhi and the others who strongly recommended you, saying that you are as talented as any man, and that with you, Sinan County will become more prosperous, so I made this decision."

The morning sun shone on Gu Wei'ya's blue official uniform, making it seem as if it was covered with clear frost, making him look dignified and noble.

He said in a gentle voice: "Xie Ling, I, Gu Wei, Gu Shijin, formally invite you to become my companion and join me in my great plan for the country. Are you willing?"

Before Xie Ling could answer, he bent down, and his cold eyes and brows revealed an indescribable, gentle and soft taste, like a piece of elegant jade, gentle and affectionate.

"If you don't agree, then be my wife. I will protect you for the rest of your life and bring the country to you."
