Xia said to Chen Heng happily, "It won't be long. Ah Heng, you can start getting ready."
"What are you preparing?" Shen Heng asked curiously. At most, just a few pieces of clothes, which can be packed up the day before the trip.
"Everything in Yuzhou is expensive. If you can buy it in Nanming, buy it. But you are working in the Meng family shop now, so it is convenient for you to buy." Xia smiled at Chen Heng and said, "After you go to Yuzhou, you must take good care of Ajian and let him do well in the imperial examination. Don't worry about it."
Chen Heng was stunned for a moment: "Me too?"
Xie Jian and Xia both admired her.
Under the gazes of the two, Chen Heng felt that she must have asked a stupid question: "Aren't we all from the academy going together? I think the academy should have made arrangements to take care of us, right?"
"Everyone has a servant following them." Xie Jian said calmly, "So the academy didn't make any arrangements."
Chen Heng: "..." In other words, she had finally found a job as a nanny.
"Sister-in-law knows what you are worried about. The young master said that there is also a Meng family shop in Yuzhou. When the time comes, Old Master Meng can write a letter to ask you to continue working in Yuzhou." Xia Shi couldn't leave the household affairs behind. The poultry and the vegetables in the backyard needed to be taken care of, and there were also several fertile fields outside the city that needed to be taken care of. Otherwise, she really didn't trust these two people. Although Ah Heng did a good job in housework, she still lacked some care.
Having said that, what else could Chen Heng say? However, she worked so hard because she hoped that one day she could develop in the state capital and the imperial capital. When Xie Jian's true love appeared, she would also have a skill after the divorce.
As the days passed, the snow on the mountains began to melt and the temperature warmed up quickly.
People had previously worried that the low temperatures would continue until March and affect crops. Now it seems that although spring has come later than in previous years, it is not too late.
For a time, the city and its surroundings were full of flourishing activities.
March has arrived.
It was only two days away from Xie Jian's arrival in Yuzhou.
Chen Heng came home early from the shop that day and passed by the government office. She thought she might as well wait for Xie Jian there. After Meng Xuanlang came to the Southern Ming Dynasty, the boy no longer lived in the academy, but came here every day in the Meng family's carriage. Because during the snowstorm, he had been helping several officials in the government office handle official business, and he was still working there.
The gate of the yamen was clean again, and several yamen runners stood majestically at the gate, staring coldly at the people passing by.
It’s not like the time before, when as soon as he saw the people coming, he quickly hid in the yamen and refused to come out no matter how the people shouted.
Chen Heng habitually entered through the side door. As soon as she entered, she saw Meng Xuanlang hiding behind a yamen pillar, looking at something, muttering to himself, "What's going on? It's just a statue. Why is Uncle Ji An so angry?"
"Did Ah Jian do something wrong?" Shen Heng asked. In the side hall opposite, Xie Jian was kneeling on the ground and being scolded by Lu Ji'an. Although she couldn't hear what he was saying, it was certain that Xie Jian had done something wrong.
Meng Xuanlang was startled by the sudden appearance of someone: "Why are you here?"
"Something happened at home earlier. I didn't expect you guys to come so early. What's the matter?" It was the first time that Shen Heng saw Master Qingtian so angry.
"The eunuch used the silver donated by grain merchants to make a golden statue for the current emperor." Meng Xuanlang said, "But what does this golden statue have to do with Ajian? The eunuch was trying to curry favor with the emperor."
At this time, Lu Ji'an walked out from the side hall with a sullen face. Seeing Meng Xuanlang and Shen Heng hiding behind the pillar wall, he walked over.
"Greetings, sir." Shen Heng bowed quickly.
