Chapter 1810 The New County Magistrate is an Acquaintance
The position of prefect is different from that of county magistrate. Changjin Prefecture has just experienced chaos, so the selection of a person to be appointed must be done with extra care.
Fortunately, Qi Lie and General Huang are here, along with Meng Yunzheng. With these three around, the emperor is not in a hurry and can take his time in making the selection. The capital is still in a mess that needs to be dealt with.
After Meng Yunzheng finished explaining the situation in the capital, he stayed at the escort agency for one night and returned to the prefectural city the next day.
This trip lasted for another ten days or so.
Chenggu County has now returned to its former stability, the streets are bustling again, and people are starting to prepare for the Lunar New Year. There are basically no major problems.
Shu Yu thought the new magistrate of Chenggu County would arrive soon, but unexpectedly, it wasn't until three days before the New Year that he finally arrived at the city gate with a caravan of carriages.
The county magistrate who arrived was so young that Shu Yu almost thought there was something wrong with his eyes and he was hallucinating.
Otherwise, how could she have seen a...familiar person?
That's right, this person was an acquaintance, and one she would never have guessed.
The man stepped down from the carriage and went up to Xia Yi and Shu Yu, who had come to meet him, to apologize. "Lord Xia, Lord Lu, I am truly sorry. Something happened on the way, which delayed me for a few days. I apologize for my rudeness."
Xia Yi waved her hand, "You're too kind, Lord Tang. The county office has been prepared. This way, please."
Shu Yu remained standing there until Xia Yi and the newly arrived magistrate left. Yuan Gui gently nudged her, and she suddenly realized what was happening and immediately followed.
Tang Wenqian? This newly arrived county magistrate is actually Tang Wenqian?!
How could it be him?!
The county government was mostly managed by Xia Yi and General Huang's deputy generals. Shu Yu was unwilling to get too involved and usually just helped out.
Therefore, Xia Yi and the deputy general were sufficient to handle the handover with the county magistrate.
Shu Yu had originally planned to return to the escort agency after receiving the county magistrate, but now that she knew the new magistrate was an acquaintance, she decided not to leave.
She stood in the middle of the hall, still somewhat shocked. Ah Yun probably didn't know about the new magistrate, otherwise she would have definitely told her beforehand.
Or perhaps, he intentionally concealed it from Wei Nan, deliberately giving them a 'surprise'?
"Lu Xiangjun, are you surprised to see me?" A voice suddenly sounded behind her. Shu Yu turned around and saw Tang Wenqian walking in from outside the door.
Shu Yu turned around and exhaled, "It was quite a surprise. I didn't expect it to be you."
Tang Wenqian smiled, holding a tray with teacups and tea bowls on it. He placed the tray on the table, poured two cups of tea for each of them, and handed one to Tang Wenqian, saying, "Lu Xiangjun, it's been a long time."
Shu Yu took the tea, smelled it, and found the aroma to be rich and familiar, as if it were tea produced in Dong'an Prefecture.
After taking a sip, she felt a longing for home.
She exhaled, sat down on a chair nearby, and looked at Tang Wenqian, who was noticeably more composed and thinner than before. She smiled and said, "I should call you Lord Tang now. I didn't expect you to have changed so much in almost a year. How did you become the magistrate of Chenggu County?"
Tang Wenqian sat opposite her, facing Shu Yu, and he looked very relaxed.
"It was luck. During the chaos in the capital, I accidentally performed some meritorious service and was appointed by the Emperor as the magistrate of Chenggu County."
When this was mentioned, Tang Wenqian himself was still a little dazed and didn't know where to begin.
