acquaintance?
Shu Yu looked at Ying Dongfangcai's angle and saw only a bustling crowd.
"Since they're acquaintances, should we go say hello? Anyway, we need to go back to the inn first." Shu Rui and the others didn't come to the dock; they were still waiting at the inn.
Ying Dong shook his head, sat on the carriage shaft, and said, "No need, he's already gone."
"Alright, let's go back then." Seeing that Da Niu had also boarded, Shu Yu waved to the Xu family steward, and the carriage quickly left the dock.
After walking quite a distance, Ying Xi asked curiously, "Brother, who was that familiar person you just saw?"
"It seems to be Uncle Lin, the former deputy head of the Quansheng Escort Agency." Ying Dong wasn't really sure.
Yingxi was even more confused, as she had no recollection of the deputy head镖师 (bodyguard/escort).
When the Quansheng Escort Agency was burned down by Gongqiu and disbanded, she was only four years old, and many of her memories were already blurred. Not to mention the deputy head of the Quansheng Escort Agency, she hardly remembered any of the other escorts in the agency.
Therefore, Yingxi simply said "Oh" and didn't ask any further questions.
When the carriage stopped in front of the inn, it was already past 11:00 AM. Shu Yu had originally planned to pick up Shu Rui and the other two and head straight to Tianning County. But after getting off the carriage, he learned that the three of them had heard that a great scholar was writing an essay nearby, so they went to check it out.
Since that's the case, Shu Yu decided to have lunch there before leaving.
Da Niu happened to have something to tell her, and the group chatted about the situation in Jiangyuan County while eating.
“Ayu, there’s something you should be mentally prepared for when you go back.”
Shu Yu took a sip of soup, looked up in surprise, and asked, "What is it?"
Yuan Gui, who was standing to the side, obviously knew what had happened. He turned his head slightly, as if he wanted to laugh.
Shu Yu, "..."
Da Niu said, "The fact that you became the county magistrate is now known throughout the entire county. Oh, no, it's also the talk of the town."
Shu Yu was stunned for a moment, then as if she had thought of something, the corner of her mouth twitched, "Was it Third Uncle who spread it?"
"Yes, the county government had already received news that you had become the Lady of Wen'an County. However, Lord Xie did not publicize it much, as if he wanted to wait until you returned before officially posting the notice. But after Uncle San returned, he felt that this was a matter of bringing glory to the family and should not be kept too low-key."
Of course, Lu Sanzhu's initial propaganda was relatively normal. After he returned to work in the peach blossom forest, he would casually mention it to people he met.
He also enjoyed the shocked expressions on other people's faces when they found out about the overflowing stream, followed by their congratulations.
Who knew that during the Qingming Festival, when the Lu family returned to Shangshi Village to pay respects to their ancestors, they heard about Tang Wenqian becoming the county magistrate.
Lu Sanzhu then learned that before Tang's parents left, they had spread the word far and wide that Tang Wenqian had become an official. Now everyone was telling each other that Tang Wenqian was successful, that the Tang family's good days were coming, and that they would be considered officials from now on, and that everyone would have to bow to them when they met.
Some people say that Tang Wenqian was promising from a young age, and now he has indeed become the most outstanding person in the entire Shangshi Village and even Wenlan Town.
Good heavens, those words were like lighting a powder keg, instantly causing Lu Sanzhu to explode.
Once Lu Sanzhu's competitive spirit takes hold, he can't control himself.
So what if she's a county magistrate? Her daughter, Ayu, is a county princess. There are far fewer county princesses than county magistrates. Things are valued for their rarity, you know?
