Chapter 269 Pingchuan County Household Registration
Document No. 2 shook his head.
"We haven't divorced!"
Document Number One trusted Document Number Two's words quite a bit, after all, Document Number Two's uncle was the chief clerk of the prefect's office and also the prefect's deputy.
Therefore, the second bandit leader was able to learn about many rumors immediately.
Clerk Number Two glanced towards Shanglin Village and lowered his voice.
"She hasn't divorced yet and is going to stay at her parents' house for a long time. It seems that Miss Gu is not having a good time in her husband's family either."
I heard that the eldest daughter of the Gu family married a marquis, but ever since the second daughter of the Gu family had an accident, followed by the accident involving Prime Minister Gu, the eldest daughter of the Gu family has not had a good life.
However, Miss Gu's in-laws are really unethical. The Gu family's troubles have nothing to do with Miss Gu. Besides, our Prefect is still here.
Alas! It all comes down to the fact that Miss Gu married far away. If she had lived closer, the prefect would have led his men to her door to cause trouble if she had suffered even the slightest grievance.
In short, women cannot marry far away; without their own family to care for them, they will be mistreated in their husband's family without anyone knowing.
Anyway, I will absolutely not let my daughter marry someone from far away in the future. I won't agree to it if it's more than five kilometers away...
…………
An hour later, a group of people came out of the city.
Upon closer inspection, everyone recognized Gu Yunrou and Shen Muyang, with noticeably more guards following them than before.
Gu Kaizhen, Gu Zheyuan's eldest son, was also present. He is 14 years old this year.
As the eldest son of the Prefect's Mansion, Gu Kaizhen was quite famous in the entire Yunlu City. This time, Gu Yunrou and her son were going to stay in Pingchuan County for an extended period.
Gu Kaizhen's presence could also serve as a deterrent to the local bullies, preventing any fools from causing trouble.
Originally, Gu Zheyuan and his wife were going to go with them, but Gu Yunrou refused. She was a low-key person, and it would be too much of a show if the prefect and his wife personally escorted her there.
As soon as Gu Yunrou left the city, the villagers of Shanglin Village followed her. The ones leading the way were the village chief's donkey cart and Mu Chunping's donkey cart and horse-drawn cart.
The weather wasn't sunny today, and there wasn't a scorching sun. Zhou Rongzhang floated out of Ning Bao's spirit-binding bag, sat on Chi Xiao's back, and earnestly admired the scenery of Yunlu City.
In the past, Zhou Rongzhang wouldn't have been able to float outside for long periods of time during the day, but now, after being nurtured in the Soul Nourishing Chamber for a while, his soul has become much stronger.
It's fine as long as you don't expose yourself to direct sunlight.
It was only mid-morning. Pingchuan County was not far from Yunlu City, and the official road on the Yunlu City side was very smooth. It took them two hours to reach Pingchuan County.
Because everyone was so eager to get to their new home, they didn't even stop eating lunch, although they managed to grab a few bites of bread on the way.
Gu Yunrou understood everyone's feelings, so she kept urging them to hurry on their way.
Ning Bao and the children from the field team had already been invited by Shen Muyang to the carriage to eat snacks.
Gu Kaizhen looked at the noisy group of children on the carriage and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. It seemed that his little cousin had a good relationship with these children in the village, especially that chubby little girl.
He had just seen through the carriage curtain lifted by the wind that his expressionless little cousin was actually wiping the little girl's mouth.
This discovery piqued Gu Kaizhen's curiosity.
…………
Upon arriving in Pingchuan County, Gu Kaizhen immediately took Village Chief Lin to the county government office.
The order for Yunlu City to take in refugees had already been issued to the Pingchuan County government. In addition, with Gu Kaizhen, the eldest son of the prefectural governor, there, the settlement of the people in Shanglin Village was quickly completed.
Actually, taking in these refugees wasn't difficult, because the imperial court hadn't allocated any funds, and Gu Zheyuan couldn't possibly use his own money to settle the refugees.
Besides, even if he had the will, he didn't have the ability. After all, there were more than one or two refugees, and he certainly couldn't support them all on his own.
Since I don't have the ability, I might as well not give out a single penny.
However, they did mark wasteland, seeds, and three months' worth of food rations for the refugees who settled there.
We are all from farming backgrounds, and if we have land and grain seeds, we will definitely have a harvest in two or three months.
The village chief walked out of the county government office with a big smile on his face. He had just looked at the map of Chuyun Village there; it was truly a wonderful place…
