“Father, let’s go back to the yamen first!” Shen Nian said respectfully.
Shen Nian felt even more grateful to the emperor for sending his father here.
Although this disaster in Linzhou was caused by a natural disaster, sending one of our own people here is completely different from sending an enemy here.
It seems that the emperor still cares about him!
Marquis Wu’an glanced again at the place where Shen Nian had just been working, nodded, and followed him back to the governor’s office.
The yamen building has been renovated in the past two days, and all office spaces have been moved into the house.
"Father, are you here alone?" Shen Nian asked after having someone serve tea to Marquis Wu'an.
"No, there are two more imperial physicians." Marquis Wu'an took a sip of tea before speaking, "But they will take two days to arrive. I can ride fast on horseback, so I got here first."
If Marquis Wu'an had not brought two imperial physicians with him, he would have arrived two days ago.
The two imperial doctors did not dare to ride too fast, which slowed down their journey.
Later, Marquis Wu'an was so anxious that he saw that they were not far from Linzhou, so he brought some people and rushed over first.
After drinking a cup of tea, Marquis Wu'an handed the memorial written by the emperor to Shen Nian, and told Shen Nian about the court's arrangements at that time.
Only then did he bring it up, "Boss, how is your wife? Is she okay?"
Although Wu'an Hou didn't care much about Xia Tian's life, she was pregnant with his grandson, and now she was Shen Nian's virtuous wife, so he naturally hoped that she would be well.
"Everything is fine!" Shen Nian nodded slightly, "Father, please go back home with your son first!" Now that the father is here, he must let Xia Tian see him.
"Okay, let's go!" Marquis Wu'an stood up. When he came to Linzhou to see his son, he suddenly felt that this son was the future heir of their Marquis Wu'an Mansion.
And he could feel that Shen Nian was happy about his arrival.
Chen Nian took Wu'an Hou back to the governor's mansion first. Xia Tian had just been busy for half a day and was a little tired, so he was resting in the house.
Fu Gui also brought the servants from the mansion to clean up a few complete rooms here.
Especially the yard where we live in the summer. After all, my wife is pregnant, and it is not appropriate for her to sleep in the shed every day.
"Madam, the prince is back." Ningxiang called her back, "The marquis is here too."
Xia Tian was a little confused from sleeping, and didn't hear it for a moment, "Who did you say is here?"
"The Marquis is here." Ningxiang took a cool handkerchief and gently wiped Xia Tian's face, making her a little more awake.
He slowly helped her up and said as he put on his shoes, "Madam, it's the Marquis who has come to Linzhou from the capital. He's sitting in the hall waiting for you!"
After ten days of recuperation and the blessing of spiritual spring water, Ningxiang can already walk, but she cannot lift heavy objects or walk fast.
There was no problem with the other actions.
Xia Tian was really sober now. "Then go quickly and don't keep the Marquis waiting."
She is the daughter-in-law, and she cannot let the elders wait for her. It would be embarrassing if it gets out.
After Xia Tian packed up with Ningxiang's help, he quickly came out holding Ningxiang's hand.
Now she is almost seven months pregnant, and the maids at home are worried about her being alone.
So there is always someone watching over me.
"Daughter-in-law greets father!" Xia Tian quickly bowed when she saw Marquis Wu'an.
Marquis Wu'an quickly stopped him, "Stop being polite! It's not convenient for you, so there's no need for so much formality!"
Xia Tian readily sat next to Shen Nian.
Marquis Wu'an then recounted his story of coming to Linzhou. After he finished speaking, he took out the silver note he had brought with him and gave it to Shen Nian, "This is the silver note your grandmother asked me to take with me when my father left. Keep it and see if you can use it!"
Wu An Hou placed a thick stack of banknotes on the table in front of Shen Nian. Shen Nian wanted to refuse, but Xia Tian pulled his sleeve and then smiled and thanked Wu An Hou, "Thank you, father, thank you, grandmother!"
How can I push away the money given by my elders?
She knew that Shen Nian definitely didn't want to accept it, but Wu Anhou was able to take out the silver at this juncture, probably to help Shen Nian.
How can we let down the kindness of this elder?
Seeing Xia Tian accept the banknote, Chen Nian didn't say much and thanked Wu An Hou again.
"We're all family, so let's keep our differences. Linzhou has suffered such heavy damage this time. Although the emperor won't blame us for the natural disaster, he will definitely need money everywhere. As his subjects, we naturally have to share his worries."
"Father is right, I will remember it." Shen Nian nodded in agreement.
Linzhou is also the area he is responsible for, and he will definitely spare no effort to build it well.
When Marquis Wu'an saw Chen Nian's humble and agreeable look, he felt much more relieved.
As a father, I also hope that my son will have a better future!
Xia Tian asked someone to clean up a room for Marquis Wu'an, and Marquis Wu'an did not refuse.
So he stayed in the governor's mansion for the time being.
Xia Tian took the silver bills back to the house and counted them. There were actually 100,000 taels!
It seems that Marquis Wu'an has invested a lot of money this time.
During the day, Marquis Wu'an also helped Chen Nian with work, and gradually learned from the people what his son had done in the past year and what the people said about him.
Hearing that the people were praising Shen Nian, he felt happy and ate an extra bowl of rice.
I didn't expect that this seemingly cold-hearted son would be so supported by the people of Linzhou!
How much has he done to earn such a good reputation among the people?
Marquis Wu'an was a little proud, and when he went out the next few days, his shoulders, which were originally straight, became even straighter.
As the aftermath work here was proceeding smoothly, Chen Ke and Liu Jin'er, together with the killers sent by Liu Jin'er's second uncle, sneaked into Sangluo City again.
When these people entered Sangluo City, they were dumbfounded to see how well-organized everything was. Did they arrive too late?
Isn't it said that there are refugees everywhere in Linzhou after the earthquake? As long as they can disguise themselves as refugees, it will not be difficult to contact the governor. Why is the scene different from what they imagined?
There are quite a few refugees, but none of them are noisy, quarrelsome or trouble-making.
Is it really strange that they disguise themselves as refugees?
Seeing that disguising themselves as refugees was not working and it was difficult to hide their identities, the assassins withdrew from Sangluo City and found a secluded place to discuss the assassination plan again.
The main reason was that they were all strong men, and it was difficult for them to disguise themselves as refugees. They wanted to sneak in during the chaos, but they found that there was no chaotic place for them to sneak in.
"Boss, what do you think we should do?" Some of his subordinates began to worry.
The people sent by the second master of the Liu family last time were all wiped out. This time, Chen Ke and Liu Jin'er were looking for people who were paid to do the job.
But they still have responsibilities and ethics. Since you have taken their money, you have to do things well for them!
"Make a new plan, and this time we must ensure that it is foolproof!" said the assassin leader in a cold voice.
There is no reason to return the order once you accept it!
The assassin began to discuss a more prudent plan with a gloomy face.
Here, Shen Nian is planning to go to Ma'an Village!
