The place was originally prepared as accommodation for the artisans, but it's not enough!
The craftsmen sent by the emperor included blacksmiths, carpenters, jade carvers, bricklayers, and so on, totaling about fifty or so.
I thought he would only need to send about ten people, but who knew he was truly sincere towards the Gu family!
In addition to the county magistrate, a county government office also has a county assistant, who assists the magistrate in handling official business; a chief clerk, who is responsible for managing official documents, ledgers, and files; and a county constable, who is in charge of tax collection, maintaining order, and apprehending thieves.
The registrar was Huo Junhao, and the county magistrate was Qianliangduo.
Perfect timing! The top three scorers from last year's competition are all here.
The county lieutenant was a young man chosen by the emperor from among the imperial guards. He had no immediate family and was all alone. His surname was Hu and his given name was Liang.
The emperor truly treated the Gu family with utmost sincerity, and this team was indeed intended to allow Gu Shouxin to properly develop Kuncheng.
Besides these three, there were four other minor officials dispatched by the emperor from Tongzhou, Taizhou, Yizhou, and Liangzhou. They were all older than the county magistrates and other officials personally selected by the emperor, and were more familiar with the affairs of the government.
Huo Junhao, along with Hu Liang, were all wealthy and had plenty of food. The three bachelors moved directly into the small courtyard in the backyard of the yamen.
The yamen itself also had a courtyard for the county magistrate to live in.
Huo Yanyu moved directly into the embroidery building of the Gu sisters, which had exactly six rooms. In addition to the four Gu sisters and Princess Jinghe, the building was now full.
They carried their luggage back from the convoy that came from behind, and Gu Xin and Gu Si helped Huo Yanyu pack her luggage.
As luck would have it, Huo Yanyu and the Gu sisters had a habit of not bringing their maids, so she came alone.
During this time, the yamen runner returned and reported that Cheng Huaiyu wanted to go home to learn embroidery and would not be coming over.
Gu Xin thought Cheng Huaiyu was just shy and didn't like interacting with strangers, so she didn't force her.
We'll all play together sooner or later. Xiaoyu is a slow-paced person; she'll get to know us after playing together a few more times.
After arranging Huo Yanyu's room, Gu Nian rushed back.
"Sister Niannian! My dearest Sister Niannian! I miss you so much!" Huo Yanyu stepped forward and gave her a big hug.
"Hey, did you just call Xinxin and Sisi that too? You little philanderer!" Gu Nian said with amusement.
“Xin Xin is the same! Everyone is the best!” Huo Yanyu said with a smile.
"Nonsense! Why didn't you write a letter before you came? We could have prepared your room in advance!" Gu Nian patted Huo Yanyu on the shoulder.
She quite liked this girl; after all, everyone likes someone with a sweet tongue. When this girl lived with them before, she had made the whole family very happy.
"Lord Huo said he wanted to give you a surprise!" Huo Yanyu said.
"Your family is all related to Lord Huo, who are you referring to?" Gu Nian asked with a smile.
“Master Huo!” Gu Si replied.
"Tsk tsk tsk, silly boy, tell me, your parents only have you and your brother as children, so why did they let you roam around so freely?" Gu Nian asked with a sigh.
"No, that's not true! We received a letter from our parents before we came. Mom is pregnant again. She also asked my brother to take care of me, so we siblings are being obedient. Since my brother is taking up his post, it's only natural that I have to come along! I was thinking, I'm thirteen this year, shouldn't I take responsibility for myself and come to Kuncheng to find a husband? Perfect, the young master of the Peng family isn't married yet! Hehehe!" Huo Yanyu was overjoyed.
