Chapter 67 Returning to Beijing, Little Father, having you and Xier is enough. ...
The transfer order from the court came unexpectedly.
When Shen Zhubu excitedly ran to Si Yao holding the transfer order.
Si Yao was genuinely stunned.
"Sir, congratulations! You are being transferred back to the capital!"
Shen Zhubu was sincerely happy for Si Yao.
Since Si Yao took office in Lin'an County, the entire county has undergone tremendous changes. Not only did he eliminate the bandits that had troubled them for years, but he also uncovered the gentry who were colluding with the bandits behind the scenes.
In addition, an official road connecting to the outside world was built, allowing vehicles, horses, and pedestrians to travel freely, and no longer having to rely solely on boats for travel.
Shen Zhubu never thought that their Lin'an County would develop to this point.
And all this is thanks to Si Yao.
She is the Queen Mother of the Sky of their Lin'an County!
"The transfer order clearly states that you are being promoted directly to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a high-ranking official of the fourth rank. You have truly risen to the top in one fell swoop."
Although Shen Zhubu had been away from the capital for a long time, he also knew the meaning of this Minister of Revenue.
Anyone who has been an official knows that this is a fat official.
Si Yao, a seventh-rank county magistrate, was suddenly promoted to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, jumping three levels.
This was not something she had seen often in her official career.
And without exception, those people rose step by step and became the backbone of the dynasty.
Shen Zhubu never thought that he would have the honor to work beside such a great man in his retirement year. It can be said that he was lucky enough to do so.
She could hardly hold back her tears.
After Si Yao came to his senses, he took the transfer order from her.
It was stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Personnel, ordering her to return to Beijing immediately.
As for the person to take over the post of Lin'an County Magistrate, it will be temporarily taken over by Shen Zhubu.
"Why did the imperial transfer order come so suddenly?"
Si Yao was really confused.
"Your Excellency may have forgotten one thing. Every year at the end of the year, each county must report to the higher authorities. I have faithfully recorded your achievements for the year. After the court has reviewed them, they will undoubtedly commend you. Furthermore, with your talents, it would be a real waste to stay in a small place like Lin'an County."
Shen Zhubu smiled silently, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.
Si Yao had actually forgotten about this matter. At the time, Master Shen had mentioned it to her, but she hadn't taken it to heart.
"Thank you very much."
"Your Excellency, what are you saying? I am only reporting the truth. I have not exaggerated in the slightest."
Shen Zhubu narrowed his eyes and chuckled.
Then he said, "The court is pressing us, so you should make preparations early. Lin'an County is now thriving, and the people are living and working in peace. You can leave with peace of mind."
"I think you should take your husband and set off early tomorrow morning."
Lin'an is far away from the capital.
They also have children to take care of.
It’s better to set off early.
Si Yao expressed his gratitude again, knowing Master Shen’s good intentions.
She performed the junior's salute quite solemnly.
He walked out of the yamen and headed towards the backyard.
*
Yamen Backyard
Fang Zhiyue was sitting on the couch in the house holding the little one and playing with him.
Si Yao, who had just left not long ago, suddenly came back.
He raised his head in surprise, "What's wrong, Sister Yao, why are you back again?"
"We will set out for Beijing early tomorrow morning. The imperial order has arrived."
"What?"
Fang Zhiyue was stunned when he heard this.
It was really sudden.
He opened his mouth, "Why is it so sudden..."
"Little father, please pack your things first."
Si Yao walked over to him, bent down and kissed the corner of his lips.
He touched the little guy's face in his arms again, "And Uncle Wen and Xiaohu, go say goodbye to them too. I'll tell Shi Qi to prepare a bigger carriage."
The carriage we came in is definitely no longer usable.
After all, they have one more little one this time.
Si Yao didn't stay in the room for long and left in a hurry.
Although Shen Zhubu said that she didn't have to worry about anything, she couldn't just leave so suddenly. There were some things she still had to explain.
After Si Yao left, Fang Zhiyue immediately called Uncle Wen and Xiaohu to his side.
Informed the news that I would return to Beijing.
Both of them were shocked when they heard it, and then they felt very reluctant, and their eyes turned red in an instant.
Fang Zhiyue is a very good customer.
Although he is the husband of an official, he is not arrogant and is gentle and kind.
Uncle Wen and Xiaohu were both very reluctant to let him go.
If their home was not in Lin'an County, they would have wanted to follow Fang Zhiyue back to the capital.
"My dear, can't you, the Lord, and the little lady stay a few more days?"
Xiaohu said reluctantly while wiping his tears.
Fang Zhiyue's lips moved.
Before he could say anything, Uncle Wen patted Xiaohu's shoulder and interrupted him, "Don't be silly, Xiaohu. This kind of thing isn't something you can decide. Your Excellency has to return to the capital to take up his post. How can you just stay?"
"alright……"
He wiped the red corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Time is running out, we have to quickly pack up my husband's things, and my little lady's things as well. We don't have time to cry now."
Uncle Wen rolled up his sleeves and got busy.
Seeing him busying around, Xiaohu stopped crying and joined in.
Fang Zhiyue looked at them with sour eyes.
I also feel very reluctant in my heart.
He is a country boy, and actually this is where he feels most comfortable.
The capital, that prosperous capital where the powerful and wealthy gather, is not where he belongs.
But Siyao was born to be there.
Having lived with her for so long, and now even having Xi'er, he actually knew what kind of ambitions she had.
The small Xingyu Village could not hold her.
This is still the case in Lin'an County today.
She was destined to make a career in that bloody place.
And he cannot become an obstacle on her way forward.
Fang Zhiyue suppressed his reluctance and his eyes gradually became firmer.
Looking at the clueless little one in his arms, he smiled and gently kissed her on the cheek.
"Xi'er, we are going back to the capital with my mother."
The next morning, Si Yao and Fang Zhiyue took the little guy on the carriage.
Shen Zhubu, Wen Shu, Xiao Hu and the people of Lin'an County all went to the city gate to see them off.
"Have a safe journey, my lord!"
"Have a safe trip, my lord!"
"We will all always remember you, my Lord!"
The people's farewell voices rang out one after another.
Si Yao waved his hand through the car window, looked at everyone and said, "Let's all go back. There's no need to see us off."
Shi Qi drove the carriage forward.
Until I walked a long way away, I could no longer see the people and things in Lin'an County.
Only then did Si Yao lower the car curtain.
She looked at Fang Zhiyue with a depressed look on his face, and leaned over to hold him in her arms.
Comforting her, she said, "All good things must come to an end. If we are destined to meet, we will meet again."
Fang Zhiyue leaned in her arms without saying a word.
After a long while, he spoke softly, "I just feel a little reluctant to leave Uncle Wen and Xiaohu..."
"I know."
Si Yao kissed his hair lightly.
The hand around his waist tightened.
"Little Father, do you like it here more and don't want to go back to the capital?"
Just as Fang Zhiyue understood Si Yao, Si Yao also understood him.
I know what's in his mind best.
Fang Zhiyue was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Si Yao didn't care whether he answered or not.
Just as I was about to change the subject, I heard him suddenly whisper, "But where you and Xi'er are is where I truly belong. I don't like the capital, but you and Xi'er are there. So, I like it too..."
It was the first time that Fang Zhiyue said such words to express his feelings.
Si Yao was so surprised that he was a little overwhelmed when he heard it.
She tightened her arms, held him and the little one in his arms, and placed them on her lap.
Let him look at her face to face.
His voice was a little hoarse. "Is what my father said true? I thought I would never hear my father say such words again in my life."
Seeing her like this, Fang Zhiyue felt a little embarrassed.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, but she nodded. "Well, I don't want to leave you and Xi'er. I just want to be with you forever. We are a family of three."
"Little father..."
Si Yao's pupils shook violently, and he hugged him in his arms.
She restrained herself and placed a light kiss on his forehead.
"In this life, I am content to have you and Xi'er by my side."
"Sister Yao..."
Fang Zhiyue raised his eyes, looked at her with red cheeks, and suddenly said: "Xi'er is not awake yet, do you... want to kiss - um."
He hadn't finished speaking yet.
Si Yao suddenly lowered her head and grabbed his lips.
The sound of lips and teeth rubbing against each other echoed continuously in the small carriage.
More lingering and sad than any other time.
This was also the closest time the two of them had been together.
Si Yao held his face, pushed his lips and teeth open, and danced with him.
Fang Zhiyue responded awkwardly.
My cheeks and ears were very red.
He moved his waist and couldn't help but lean towards her again.
His hands gripped her shoulders tightly.
Like a dodder, he depended on her with all his heart and soul.
Si Yao's breathing became increasingly chaotic, unable to bear his demanding attitude. His palm slowly pressed against his lower back, his warm palm gripping his waist tightly. It burned terribly.
She just grabbed the belt and tried to pull it apart...
The little guy who was sleeping soundly in Fang Zhiyue's arms suddenly started crying loudly.
The two people who were addicted to it were suddenly awakened.
Fang Zhiyue pushed her away violently, hugged the little guy in his arms, and frantically coaxed him: "Xi'er, be good, don't cry, don't cry, Daddy is here."
He pursed his swollen lips, undressed and let her eat.
Si Yao leaned against the carriage, feeling a bit embarrassed, trying her best to suppress the chaotic breath in her body. She could only grit her teeth at this little guy who disturbed her and her little father.
She put her arms around Fang Zhiyue's waist again.
Angrily, he reached out and pinched the face of the little guy in his arms, "You really are my nemesis!"
Maybe the force was a bit too strong.
The little guy who was drinking milk curled his lips and frowned.
He looked like he was about to cry.
Fang Zhiyue was so scared that he quickly pushed her hand away.
I feel helpless about the war between mother and daughter.
"Sister Yao, please don't make her cry."
"Then my father will compensate me..."
Si Yao withdrew his hand, put his arms around his waist, and whispered in his ear, "Will you agree, little father?"
"What compensation?"
Fang Zhiyue felt a little itchy in his ears because of her, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck and hide to the side.
Si Yao came closer again, "Of course..."
She said in a low voice.
After hearing this, Fang Zhiyue's eyes widened instantly and his cheeks turned red again.
Even her eyes were covered with a layer of mist from shame, "You, what nonsense are you talking about, Shi, Shi Qi is still outside."
"If my father doesn't agree, I won't wait until the little guy falls asleep. I'll do it now..."
She paused deliberately, and her fingers quietly pulled at his clothes.
Fang Zhiyue was still holding the little one and feeding her, and he was extremely panicked.
Finally, he was forced to nod, "Wait a minute, wait until Xi'er falls asleep..."
Si Yao was finally satisfied when he heard this.
She hugged him again and chuckled softly in his ear, "Little father is so good."
The carriage continued to move slowly forward.
It’s still a long way to the capital.
They have plenty of time...
