Chapter 188 No Urgency
When he entered the backyard and saw a little girl with a sweet smile, he understood everything.
Xue Yongan turned and left.
"Where are you going?" Chen Chunxing called out to the man in confusion.
"Go beat up Old Tian." Xue Yongan said expressionlessly.
"Why hit him?" Chen Chunxing scratched his head.
Xue Yongan turned around, stared at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled and changed the subject: "Look at you, have you found anything interesting?"
"I actually told you that." Chen Chunxing rolled his eyes, waited until Xue Yongan came up to him, and slowly told him the problem he had discovered.
"Just after the Jichang Pharmacy was destroyed, Nanny Lin disappeared, and then Steward Lin returned to the capital. Ha, who are you trying to fool by saying there's no connection?"
Xue Yongan's expression remained unchanged. "The Duke's Mansion wants to play both sides, so they have to give an explanation to Prince Li."
After all, he was brought back to the capital by the Duke.
As long as the two have not completely severed their relationship, they will appear to have an inseparable relationship in the eyes of others.
This time, Xue Yongan led people to seal off Jichang Pharmacy again. With new grudges and old accounts, even if Prince Li did not care about a small figure like him, the court officials under him would still remember it severely.
Only by throwing out a scapegoat can the superficial effort be completed.
As for Nanny Lin, she had previously had a conflict with Jichang Pharmacy over the purchase of medicine. This matter caused a lot of uproar and everyone in Honglu County knew about it.
It is more appropriate to throw her out than to throw out a county magistrate favored by the old emperor.
"The only thing I can't understand is why Manager Lin asked Cui'er to drag Doctor Chang along?"
He could have simply lied and said that Nanny Lin was in the convoy. No one in the Xue residence would investigate carefully anyway, and a few words would cover up the past. Why did he have to create so many loopholes?
"If the problem is not with me, then it's with Doctor Chang himself." Xue Yongan pointed out the key point.
"That old man..." Chen Chunxing hesitated and shook his head. "Forget it. What's coming will come."
She changed the subject.
"Let's talk about you... Did you just imagine something incredible?"
The little girl put her hands on her hips, puffed out her cheeks, and had a mischievous smile between her eyebrows.
Xue Yongan coughed lightly, grabbed her hand, and said seriously: "I was just thinking that the mansion really needs a mistress."
"?"
"As long as we have a mistress, the rest will naturally follow. I am a county magistrate after all. If I let scoundrels come and go as they please, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?"
Chen Chunxing smacked his lips, "You're like Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong."
"So do you agree or not?"
“…”
The macho man acts like a spoiled brat, and Shen Chunxing feels a lot of pressure.
Especially when facing those eyes that were filled with her own image, she turned her head away guiltily, feeling the sticky touch of their palms and humming.
"It doesn't really count even if I agree... It's mainly because of my grandma. The county town is too far away. She definitely won't agree..."
Xue Yongan said something shocking: "Old lady, can you move in? And all your brothers and sisters can move in with you."
Chen Chunxing opened his mouth wide and almost blurted out, "I haven't agreed to marry you yet."
She pursed her lips and glanced at Xue Yongan dangerously, as if suspecting that he had "evil intentions".
"I have to remind you, even though it's the New Year, I'm still only thirteen! In ancient times, people had to wait until fifteen to reach the age of marriage!"
"Where are you going?" Xue Yongan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tapped her forehead. "The county town is about to expand. I plan to integrate the west of the city with the suburbs. It should be able to accommodate one or two villages."
Chen Chunxing was stunned, remembering what he saw under the city wall that day.
"Honglu County is too far away from you, and so is Narrow Village from me. This place is full of dangers. I have to keep you under my watchful eyes to feel at ease."
He actually wanted to relocate the entire village...
This is a great thing for the people in the narrow village, but for Xue Yongan, it is very likely to turn into trouble.
However, after a brief thought, Chen Chunxing didn't object and nodded, saying, "Since we're planning to open a mine, the village is indeed unsuitable for continued habitation. Let Qian Jiuwei and the bandits stay, and we'll select some trustworthy tenant farmers."
The two of them have become accustomed to facing everything together, so it doesn't matter whether it is troublesome or not.
The mine must be opened. Whether it is fenced off earlier or later, the nearby residents will have to be dispersed anyway.
Instead of mobilizing a large number of people later, it is better to find a better place for everyone before it develops.
"We can't move right now. We have to wait until after the summer harvest..."
Chen Chunxing counted on his fingers.
I estimate that there is only about a month left.
This is a good time to make some more detailed plans.
It also takes time for the villagers to pack their luggage and household items.
"I'm not in a hurry."
Xue Yongan said something against his will, and the little girl glanced at him with disdain several times.
She was secretly complaining in her heart.
You're not in a hurry, so you're holding my hand tightly? You're not in a hurry, so you're secretly hiring someone to expand the county? You're not in a hurry... so why did you jump off the Naihe Bridge with yourself that day?
The sweet memories overflowing from the bottom of my heart temporarily overwhelmed the strong attitude on my face.
Chen Chunxing was unusually well-behaved and followed the young man for a long distance.
As they walked, they came to the northwest corner under the deliberate guidance of someone.
Looking at the pink apricot tree sticking out of the courtyard wall, Chen Chunxing became interested.
She gently broke free from Xue Yongan's hand and climbed up the wall on tiptoe like a monkey.
"This is unlucky... Let me see who lives next door."
“…”
Xue Yongan rubbed his forehead with a headache.
His little girl hasn't grown up yet and needs to be raised for a while longer!
"Don't move."
Seeing Chen Chunxing half hanging in the air, clumsily clinging to the wall, Xue Yongan quickly walked over to help, supporting her feet with his hands.
"Who told you to build such a high wall here... Ouch!"
The words are not finished.
I don't know who stabbed me.
Chen Chunxing covered his forehead and fell into Xue Yongan's arms.
The two looked up at the sky in silence.
After a while, a white-haired head appeared on the opposite wall.
"There are no apricots growing on my tree, so why should I be so sneaky?"
When she saw the two of them half-cuddling together, the old woman looked very unhappy.
"In broad daylight, you dare to hug and kiss me? Are you bullying me, an old woman, because I don't have a partner? Young people nowadays are really shameless!"
“…”
"Well, is there an old man in your house?"
“…”
Chen Chunxing never imagined that the person living next door would be an old lady.
She is also an old lady with very avant-garde ideas.
She admired in her heart - she is worthy of being an old lady from the North!
Chen Chunxing stood up straight, motioned Xue Yongan to step back, and said honestly: "There is only a gatekeeper, who should be a few years younger than you."
The old lady immediately gathered her gray hair into a bun, and said with a smile: "It's better to be smaller. A girl who is three years older than you will bring you gold bricks."
“…”
She looked at the other person's face and became more and more unsure.
For the first time, I regretted not keeping this professional from Limpopo.
