Chapter 53 Who can not be greedy
Xie Yunzhao kissed her more crazily than before. He pried her teeth open eagerly and pressed her down on the bed again, holding her head steady with his hands, passionately and domineeringly.
After kissing for a long time, he still couldn't quench his thirst. In the end, he restrained himself and grabbed her finger, put it in his mouth and held it hard. He was going crazy...
After patiently waiting for him to finish going crazy, Shen Shurong complained: "You bite me?"
Xie Yunzhao quickly sat up and said, "No." Although he wanted to bite, he didn't really want to. He just didn't know how to do it.
Chen Shurong didn't dare to think that a simple "I don't hate you" could do this. What would happen if she admitted that she liked him?
Shen Shurong drove the man back to his carriage. He had just rubbed her leg!
If he begged her again like he did in his previous life, would she be able to refuse? No confidence in myself.
Xie Yunzhao got off the carriage, looking back every few steps, begging for permission to stay, but he really didn't bite.
Chen Shurong wanted to laugh. He got on the carriage as fast as lightning, but it took him only one step to get off, but he had to walk thousands of miles.
But she didn't relent, "Go!"
Xie Yunzhao went back to reflect, it was all over, he was too proud of himself, even when Qian's mother tried to stop him, he was still able to shake her off, what should he do if Rongrong tried to stop him?
In the next few days, Xie Yunzhao followed many rules and still rode in her carriage. He only kissed her on the lips when he could no longer bear it, and his madness only deepened.
…
The news that Princess Yongjia was traveling in the south had spread, and officials from various prefectures along the way were waiting to greet her.
Linzhou prefect Sun Yongkang was not in a hurry at all. He knew that the princess would have to play for two days wherever she went.
As a result, she did not stay, but went directly to Linzhou as if she had a destination.
Outside the city gate, the prefect Sun Yongkang and the imperial envoy Zuo Yucheng, dressed in solemn official uniforms and with serious and respectful expressions, led the local officials to wait quietly for the princess to arrive.
Soon, a cloud of dust rose in the distance, and the sounds of horse hooves and wheels gradually approached.
The long queue of nearly a hundred people stunned all the officials. This was the scene of the Princess's master in charge of the treasury!
The leading horse had shiny fur, and the young man on the horse was handsome and had an upright posture.
The lake blue brocade robe was covered with elegant cloud patterns, and the ink-colored waist seal was inlaid with jade, and it was extremely precious.
The bearing of a young man from an aristocratic family and the unruly look in his eyes and brows make no one look down on him when he approaches.
The gorgeous carriage behind him slowly stopped, the curtains lowered, and the princess's appearance could no longer be seen.
Sun Yongkang and other officials approached the carriage and bowed, saying, "Princess Yongjia has come to visit us. Linzhou Prefecture is honored. Your humble servant, Sun Yongkang, the prefect of Linzhou, and his officials greet the princess."
"No need to be polite." A soft and elegant female voice came from inside the carriage.
"I have prepared a welcoming banquet for you. What time is convenient for you, Princess?"
"Tomorrow, we'll be on the road."
"Yes, I will ask my wife to invite the princess tomorrow."
The sound of horse hooves could be heard from the side. "Lord Sun, let's go back to the city. The princess is tired."
Everyone looked at the young man who was speaking, with confusion on their faces.
Zuo Yucheng quickly introduced, "This is Mr. Xie from the Duke of Lu's Mansion, and also the princess' fiancé."
"Mr. Xie is right. Let's go back to the city now." Sun Yongkang and others got on the carriage and led the way.
In the carriage, Sun Yongkang whispered in Zuo Yucheng's ear, "What kind of person is this Second Young Master Xie?" He has no official position, but is he so arrogant just by relying on the Duke of Lu's Mansion?
He didn't even dismount when he saw him.
Zuo Yucheng showed a mocking expression, "He is, in one word, a jerk."
"Don't pay attention to it, and don't provoke it."
Sun Yongkang looked worried. His eldest son was quite naughty. Naughty kids were the most difficult to deal with when they caused trouble. Moreover, they came from Beijing.
Zuo Yucheng waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay. One of us is ignorant of worldly affairs and the other has nothing to do. Even if we go straight to Linzhou, we are here to have fun."
"The princess is temporarily taking over the treasury. I'm afraid there are some business matters."
Sun Yongkang was slightly relieved, "Thanks to Lord Zuo."
Chen Shurong and his party settled down in the prefect's residence. The officials sent them to the gate before they dispersed. The princess would not see any guests today.
The one who came with the treasury this time was the chief treasurer, who entered the city an hour earlier than Chen Shurong and was ordered to inspect the business in Linzhou.
In the afternoon, two officials from the Ministry of Works who had arrived earlier were invited by Shen Shurong in disguise, and there were only four people in the room.
"Princess, there is a big problem here." Someone pointed to a certain place on the topographic map.
The three counties are located at the junction of two counties and there is no one to govern them. If there are any problems, the three counties do not need to take responsibility.
Moreover, because it is in disrepair every year, disasters occur every year, and the amount of money for disaster relief also increases year by year.
Perhaps, this is exactly what they want to see.
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Shurong admired Xie Yun's ability to use people like a god. The talents of these two people now are no worse than they will be six years later.
"I dare not. What does the princess intend to do?" The two of them bowed, which was what they should do.
Xie Yunzhao just listened, and as long as Rongrong's expression did not change, he could sit still.
Chen Shurong glanced at the topographic map and said faintly: "Since no one is in charge and no one is convicted, it means that this piece of land is ownerless."
"That's right. This is the worst disaster, and a lot of land has been affected. No one is farming anymore."
"Okay, I understand. Have you come up with a solution?"
"My Lord, as long as this place is well governed, and the other counties are governed with care, it will be safe for ten years, unless there is a great disaster that lasts a century."
"Reinforce it every ten years, there won't be any problems."
Shen Shurong understood, “No one is in charge, so I will do it.”
"Princess!" The two were shocked. It was not a small amount.
Chen Shurong raised his hand and said calmly, "Whoever governs it owns it. Do you think it's worthwhile?"
The two thought about it, then bowed and agreed.
But what does the county lord want to do?
"But other states and counties..." How could they listen to her? Shen Shurong frowned, who can be not greedy and only give?
"What about other states and counties?" Xie Yunzhao turned around. What was she worried about?
"Thank you, Second Young Master. It won't be easy to get them to cooperate. Even if the princess shows up, it will surely take some time."
"How long will it take?" There was only one month left before their wedding.
The two shook their heads, looking helpless. Local officials are the best at procrastination, with more reasons than you can imagine. "I'm afraid it will be difficult to end the entire flood season."
What?
The flood season is over?
Xie Yunzhao couldn't sit still on the stool, "Princess, leave this matter to me."
"You? How are you going to do it?"
Xie Yunzhao hesitated: "Don't ask, I will solve it as soon as possible and not delay the princess's business."
Shen Shurong stared at him silently, trust was not inexplicable.
…
The way we came here was also walked by our own people.
Shen Shurong has arrived, but the 'rules' have not caught up yet.
Mother Qian hated herself because she was in a hurry to get on the road, but she couldn't resist the attack of the little baby.
Master Gu actually took her to the mountains to dig wild vegetables! ! !
With a wave of the small shovel and the filling of the small basket, a morning had passed.
How are we going to travel in the afternoon? Are we going to sleep in the woods?
Gu Kaizhi frowned. How could he not be better than Mother Qian in poaching? He was obviously young and strong.
Even when it comes to picking mushrooms, she is no match for him. She sees everything except mushrooms. No wonder Brother Xie despises her.
"Don't be discouraged, Mr. Gu. You have never done these things before. It's amazing that you can dig up so much."
Gu Kaizhi bowed and said, "Thank you, Aunt Qian." I just ask you not to tell Brother Xie.
