Chapter 1342 Xiang Weinan Leaves
Just as Wei Nan had guessed earlier, Lord Xie was indeed a mild-mannered and non-aggressive person.
However, he was very warm and friendly when he met Shu Yu. Since he had come here to take up his post, he should inquire about the situation beforehand.
It's hard to say about other things, but Shu Yu's story was the first to catch people's attention. After all, the Emperor had recalled Wei Nan to the capital on the grounds that Wei Nan had discovered and presented a new crop. So, Shu Yu, who had grown this crop, certainly wouldn't be overlooked.
Even if Lord Xie believed in the doctrine of the mean in his conduct and would not rashly implement reforms, he was certainly happy to have such a person in office who could significantly improve his political achievements.
Shu Yu's first meeting with Lord Xie was very pleasant. Although he was not as close to her as Xiang Weinan, she knew that she would not face any difficulties in the future.
With that, Shu Yu was relieved.
Xiang Weinan was relieved.
He and Lord Xie began the handover process, and the county examination finally came to an end amidst their busy schedules.
The county-level examinations were small in scale, and the results were released quickly, usually within five or six days.
Three days after the results of the county examination were announced, Xiang Weinan, accompanied by servants and guards, loaded three or four carriages full of goods and prepared to set off for the capital.
I didn't see that concubine again. She must have been dealt with before Xiao left. Shu Yu guessed that the reason Xiao targeted him was because of this concubine's methods.
I wonder how the Xiao family is doing now.
Xiang Weinan's return this time is to deal with the Xiao family and the Third Prince; hopefully, the outcome will be good.
On the day he left, Shu Yu went out of town to see him off.
Besides her, there were Zhao Xi and Lu Sanzhu, as well as some other wealthy households in the county who had a good relationship with Xiang Weinan.
Zhao Xi gave Wei Nan some medicine bottles, saying, "I don't have much to give you. The officialdom in the capital is different from here; it's treacherous and full of dangers. Be careful. Take these medicines; they're just a token of my appreciation."
Xiang Weinan patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you, take care. I won't be able to make it to your baby's birth, but congratulations in advance."
As for the gift, he had already set it aside.
Zhao Xi sighed inwardly, and seeing that there were other people beside him who wanted to say goodbye, he took a step back.
Just as he was about to stand back next to Shu Yu, a figure came over from the left and started talking to Shu Yu first.
"Second Miss." Tang Wenqian addressed her as he always had in Shangshi Village. Ever since he was upset about Shu Yu's engagement last time, he had now let it go and looked at Shu Yu with a very gentle gaze.
However, as he spoke, he kept his head slightly lowered and didn't look at her much, even seeming a little embarrassed. "I will accompany Lord Xiang on his return to the capital this time. However, I am not familiar with the capital and have no connections, so it is not appropriate to bring my parents with me. Although it may be a bit presumptuous, I would like to ask Second Miss to lend them a hand if they encounter any insurmountable difficulties. I would be extremely grateful, and if there is anything Second Miss may do to help me in the future, please feel free to ask."
Shu Yu looked at Tang's parents, who were wiping away tears not far away, and smiled, "You helped my sister with her affairs back then. If your parents are in trouble, I will naturally not stand idly by if I have the ability to help."
She didn't like Tang's mother, but Tang Wenqian was a really good person.
For his sake, if she can do it, she'll definitely lend a hand.
