Public matters are public, and private matters are private. Wang Huaijing clearly distinguishes between these two, but since Mogao County is currently impoverished, he has no choice but to be flexible.
After Zhao Qingyi launched her multiple money-making plans, the overall per capita income in Mogao County also saw a qualitative leap.
Wang Huaijing was known as the county magistrate, while Zhao Qingyi was called the "wealth-bringing fairy" by the common people.
After Zhao Changgeng and his son took office, Wang Huaijing communicated with his father-in-law much more frequently, sharing their good experiences.
Therefore, after Zhao Changgeng and his two sons took office, they avoided many detours compared to Wang Huaijing.
After Zhao Changgeng and others confirmed that no other officials would come to their door, Zhao Qingshan, Zhao Qingling, and Wang Huaijing knew it was time to return to their posts.
Wang Caixia had no time to rest and quickly instructed the kitchen to prepare food for her son and daughter on their journey.
Although the journeys aren't too far, it still takes some time to walk.
Through the messenger of the Grand Minister of Agriculture, the methods used to train yamen runners in the Northwest were secretly transmitted back to the capital.
The Zhao family always manages to solve all sorts of problems in unimaginable ways.
The Emperor simply couldn't resist trying to influence the Zhao family's mindset.
If the Zhao family knew that the old geezer in the capital had come up with another wicked plan, they would probably throw their hats in anger.
Recently, a remarkable event occurred in the capital: Prince Han actually brought a girl back to the capital.
The girl was dressed in a fiery red riding outfit, with a sword at her waist, a bow on her back, a quiver of arrows hanging from her horse, and deerskin boots on her feet.
His nimble movements clearly indicate that he's a trained fighter.
He refused to ride in a carriage or sedan chair, insisting instead on riding a horse alongside Prince Han.
Anyone who saw Prince Han's constipated expression would automatically imagine a dramatic scene.
The girl rode her horse while keeping an eye on the shops on both sides of the street.
"Han Xuri, this capital city is indeed quite prosperous."
That's a restaurant over there, right? Take me there to eat later. I want to try all the delicious food in your capital city.
Say something! Don't hang your head like I'm about to do something to you.
A person should keep their word. I didn't force you to bring me back, much less force you to marry me.
Who are you trying to impress by making this mess?
Do you really think I, Daya, am unwanted?
The woman in red was very dissatisfied.
Han Xuri rolled his eyes at the woman.
"If I had known you were such a crazy woman, I would never have agreed to let your father marry you."
Daya was unhappy.
"Use your pig brain before you speak, or I might just rip your head off and use it as a football."
"A life-saving grace should be repaid with one's own body," is a common saying among you Han Chinese.
Why is it that when you come to me, you're the one who's forced into this situation?
If you weren't willing, why didn't you jump off that cliff again back then?
If you had the guts to jump off the cliff, I would respect you as a real man. But you didn't have the courage, so who can you blame?
I gave you a chance, I gave you three days. If you don't want to marry me, you can climb any cliff and jump off to end it all.
What, you're going to deny it now that you've received the benefits?
Believe it or not, I'll spread your reputation for ingratitude and make you lose face in the capital. Humph!
Han Xuri was so annoyed by the girl that all he could say was "you you you," and he couldn't say anything else.
This is the first time in my life that a girl has left me speechless.
Thinking back to him back then, how could he have been so afraid of death?
If he were to jump off that high cliff again, he really wouldn't have to marry that dead girl from years ago.
She's sharp-tongued and not a good wife candidate.
Han Xuri is now filled with deep regret, but that's all he regrets. If he had to make the choice again, he would still choose to live.
Although this girl isn't very likable, at least she speaks her mind and doesn't hide anything, leaving people to guess.
They are easy to get along with.
No matter how much Daya mocked and belittled Han Xuri, he maintained the same expression and even stopped talking.
In the end, Daya was so angry that she wanted to duel with Han Xuri.
"Are you sure you want to duel me? Don't you want some good food? We've just made a whole roasted lamb, stewed beef, braised pig's trotters, and spicy duck at home..."
Before Han Xuri could finish speaking, Daya was already drooling.
"Alright then, I'll let you off the hook since you went to such lengths to treat me to dinner."
"A duel is out of the question. But let me tell you, if you dare put that deadpan face on your face again, I'll beat you up."
Han Xuri turned and glanced at Daya, "Do you know what you look like right now?"
Daya shook her head.
"Like a child begging for candy," Han Xuri said.
Daya got angry. In her hometown, if someone is said to be like a child, it means that the person is immature and unreasonable.
"You dare to humiliate me? You're asking for death." Daya could barely contain the primal power within her.
Han Xuri pointed to the silver shop in front of him, "That's a shop being closed up. After we get back for dinner, I'll take you out to buy some jewelry."
We'll have to ask someone to make you more clothes.
Once you're in the capital, you can't just wander around in that outfit all the time.
People will say you have no manners.
While we don't care what others say, there's no need for them to find fault with us.
"Hitting people is tiring. Besides, those people aren't even worth one punch from you. What if you kill or maim someone, and they come after you for miles? Tell me, would you still want to get married and have children?"
Because Han Xuri said a few sensible things, Daya tolerated it.
For the rest of the journey, Han Xuri didn't say a word and put on that constipated expression again.
After taking a deep breath, Daya calmed down, after all, this person had said he would make her clothes and buy her jewelry.
Her mother always said that if a man knows how to spend money on his woman, then there is still hope for him.
At least in his heart, you are valuable.
If a man is unwilling to spend money on you, then you're better off without him, because you're worthless.
Now, Daya feels that at least she is the one who is valuable.
So he decided not to hold a grudge against Han Xuri.
Even though the capital city is very large, there is still a time when you get home.
When she arrived at the gate of the Prince's mansion, Daya was almost frightened by the scene at the entrance.
All the servants in the mansion came out and stood on both sides.
In the middle is an elderly man with a white face and no beard.
Upon seeing Han Xuri and his entourage arrive, all the servants in front of the Prince's mansion knelt down in unison.
"Welcome home, Your Majesty."
Han Xuri's casual remark, "Get up," made Daya realize the difference between the capital and their hometown.
She didn't understand that this was power and presence.
Han Xuri dismounted, and a servant immediately led the horse away. Daya thought for a moment, then dismounted as well, and another servant led the horse away.
Han Xuri led Daya to the butler.
"Uncle Rong, this is Daya, the future Princess Consort, my wife."
They arranged for her to live in Yixin Garden, and all her food, clothing, and daily necessities were provided according to the standards of a princess consort.
