"Thank you, sir! I will work hard and live up to your expectations."
Zhao Dashu bent down and bowed, giving the governor a great salute with sincerity.
That’s great! The prefect is finally willing to sell him a piece of land, so his daughter finally has a place to stay.
They're moving again!
"Well," the governor felt relieved when he saw that he was grateful. "This farm is worth 4,700 taels of silver. It has land, houses, livestock, and people. The total price is..."
He had no intention of giving it to him as a gift, but was just selling it at the market price, which was already enough to give him face.
"Okay, I'll send the money over in a moment."
As long as you are willing to sell, everything else will be easy.
At that time, the wife of the prefect also gave him a New Year gift, and asked him to come to the prefect's residence when he had time. Her friendly attitude made Zhao Dashu shu shu shu shudder.
There is something fishy going on between these two!
"My daughter, my daughter, it's over!"
As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to share the good news with his family.
"Hurry up and give me the silver. The master said that the transfer can be completed this afternoon."
"So urgent? Didn't the officer take his annual leave?"
"I don't know why the master is so anxious. He says he can't wait until tomorrow. It's just a matter of his word for the officials to go to work."
It's obviously him who should be anxious, I don't know what he is thinking.
Zhao Xiaoyu didn't hesitate and went home to give the silver to his father. Things went smoothly and it was a good omen for the beginning of the new year.
"Dad, what is this?"
"The wife of the prefect sent me a festival gift, and I was frightened by her politeness when she saw me."
Neither of them seemed normal, and he was a little scared.
"Okay, I'll leave first. I'll pay New Year's greetings to the teacher tomorrow, and then we'll go to the farm the day after tomorrow."
Zhao Dashu spoke in a hurry and then left again. Mr. Qian understood their conversation.
"Moving?"
"Grandpa Qian, would you rather live here or build a farm like that in the countryside?"
"Of course it's a farm. There's a place to go for walks, and I can even tend to the land when I'm free. It's definitely more comfortable than the city."
Actually, he didn't like the city very much. He was not used to people looking at him whenever he had something in his hand.
"Then let's go and take a look together the day after tomorrow. If you like it, we can move there."
"Of course it will be good. From now on, when we release birds, we won't have to worry about them flying around and getting caught."
It is true that a larger home makes it easier to keep pets.
"Xiaoyu, why did the governor really agree?"
"He wants to be promoted, but given his age, if he doesn't make some achievements, he'll be a prefect for the rest of his life. In a dozen years, he'll have to retire and return home."
She heard that every official has a dream of becoming an emperor.
Even if they couldn't get into the cabinet, they still wanted to go to Beijing. In their hearts, officials in the capital were different, simply because the emperor was there.
"Oh, what if it can't be upgraded?"
"That can't be helped. He's dead, but it's not a problem, as long as there are major political achievements."
"Will he take it all and leave nothing for us?"
Isn’t it said like this in the play? What’s it called? Oh, it means to kill the donkey after it has done its job.
