Chapter 434 Promotion
"Master Zou, you can't do this. Get up quickly!"
Shangguan Qingyue dodged in a hurry, taking small steps and quickly stepping backwards, with her hands swinging back and forth constantly.
Xuanyuan Yan chuckled and said, "Okay, everyone sit down and talk."
He waved Shangguan Qingyue to sit beside him, raised his hand to push her hair behind her ears, and said lovingly:
"You will be my princess in the future. Anyone who sees you will have to kneel down. If you can't adapt to it now, what will you do in the future?"
Shangguan Qingyue pouted in dissatisfaction.
"Why don't you just hide your identity? I just want to live a simple and comfortable life with you."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Zou Shiye looked at the perfect couple in front of him and felt a pang of sadness in his heart when he thought of his daughter who was still practicing in a nunnery.
Shangguan Qingyue noticed that his expression was not right and asked:
"I wonder why Lord Zou is here?"
Zou Shiye cupped his hands.
“I came here this time to thank the prince and the future princess for their support;
Secondly, I heard from the prince that you, the future princess, have already visited my daughter, so I want to ask what the current situation of Chunya is."
"Promote?"
Shangguan Qingyue was confused by what she heard and looked at Xuanyuan Yan with a bewildered look on her face.
"Lord Zou will soon take up his post in Dengzhou Prefecture, replacing the governor."
"Huh? Is this what you went out to do a few days ago?"
Xuanyuan Yan gently pinched the little girl's cheek, "It's amazing that you still remember that I went out after so long."
Shangguan Qingyue felt a little ashamed. She had neglected him too much recently. With the intention of making amends, she said to Bing Ling who was waiting beside her:
"Sister Bingling, go get the ingredients. I'll make a cup of milk tea for the prince."
Zou Shiye was also lucky enough to swallow the delicious drink. Resisting the urge to drink it all in one gulp, he asked again:
"Can the future princess tell me about my daughter?"
"Master Zou, answer me a question first. If I return to secular life and still remain single, can you accept that?"
"Although as a father I hope my daughter can find a good match, I will not force her if she doesn't want to. She will have enough food at home and I will support her for the rest of her life.
The future princess said this, is this the condition proposed by Chun Ya?"
Zou Shiye's eyes were full of hope as he looked fixedly at Shangguan Qingyue.
She shook her head. "Chun Ya didn't mention this, but she doesn't want to go home."
The hope in his eyes dimmed, and just as the light was about to go out, Shangguan Qingyue said again:
"But she agreed to come to our college and be a teacher."
"The prince and the future princess want to build a school in our Shancang County? This is a blessing for the people!"
Zou Shiye stood up excitedly, clenched his fists and waved them vigorously in the air a few times.
I think of how he studied hard for twenty years, and how many setbacks and hardships he endured along the way, and how many detours he took before he finally got what he wanted.
If there were a good academy in a small county like this, it would be a blessing for students from poor families!
At this moment he even forgot about his daughter, his mind was full of thoughts about this matter.
Shangguan Qingyue and Xuanyuan Yan looked at each other and said with a smile:
"Lord Zou is truly a good official who is dedicated to serving the people. The academy will rely on your help when the time comes."
After hearing this, Zou Shiye bowed repeatedly.
"This is what I should do. As the father and mother of the country, I should always put the welfare of the people first. I will do my best and go all out!"
Shangguan Qingyue suddenly thought of something, pulled Xuanyuan Yan's sleeve and asked:
"Who will be the magistrate of Shancang County?"
She still has a lot of things to do. If the person who comes is difficult to get along with, many things will be difficult to carry out smoothly.
When mentioning this, Xuanyuan Yan smiled knowingly.
"Come to think of it, that man has some connection with you. He just passed the imperial examination this year and studied hard in Shuiyunjian for half a year."
Shangguan Qingyue's eyes curved with a smile,
"It seems that Shuiyunjian will have to open a few more stores in Dengzhou. This kind of fate is really wonderful!"
……
Li Shoucai knew immediately about the county magistrate's visit to Qingyue Villa. With a gloomy face, he listened to his wife's detailed retelling of Shangguan Qingyue's words, clenching and unclenching his fists repeatedly.
It all comes down to one thing - he, as the village head, overestimates his own capabilities and does not know how high the heavens and how deep the earth is!
If the county magistrate hadn't come here, he really wouldn't have thought much of it, and even wanted to see who was the arm and who was the thigh. But now, he had to think twice before acting.
Since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials. Since the county magistrate is so fond of that girl, he really can't confront her head-on.
So, on the second day, the villagers who had not worked for more than half a month gathered at the gate of the workshop early in the morning.
The moment they saw Li, they immediately swarmed over and poured out nice words.
Fortunately, Shuying was there to accompany her, otherwise Li's frail body would have been squeezed to the ground.
"Get out of the way! You're scaring our lady!"
Shuying yelled, causing the scene to be quiet for a moment, but soon it became lively again. A group of people were pushing and shoving, making a lot of noise.
Seeing that no one paid attention, Shuying simply made an example of someone to scare the monkeys. She grabbed the hand that was already holding Li's clothes and pulled hard, and heard a pig-killing howl.
The scene finally quieted down, leaving only a short fat lady wailing:
"Oh my God, someone is going to kill someone! My arm must be broken, it hurts so much, ouch ouch oh oh ..."
Soon someone reacted and pointed at Shuying and shouted:
"Dafeng, you wild girl, are you crazy? This person is your second aunt!"
"Humph, my name is Shuying, I am the young lady's personal maid, I don't know the second aunt! My young lady was ordered to protect the safety of the lady, this person just wanted to do something bad, I didn't throw her out, I was showing mercy!
If any of you dare to make trouble again, you will suffer the same fate as her!"
The little girl had sharp eyes and exuded a cold aura, which frightened everyone so much that they took two steps back.
Li, who finally recovered, breathed a sigh of relief, patted Shuying's shoulder and asked:
"Shuying, did you really break her arm? Hurry up and call Xiaonan over to take a look."
"Don't worry, ma'am. I know what I'm doing."
Shuying said as he walked up to the woman, grabbed her wrist with some skill, and stood up after hearing a "click".
Seeing the woman still wailing, he snorted coldly.
"Okay, stop pretending. Your hands are fine. If you don't believe me, move now."
The woman moved her wrist doubtfully, and sure enough, it didn't hurt at all. An expression of joy immediately appeared on her face, but then she turned into a sad face again.
"Oh, Sister Li, what a powerful maid you hired! I was scared to death! My wrist was almost broken!"
Others also chimed in, accusing Shuying of his rash behavior. However, Li pushed Shuying behind him and said loudly:
"This kid is only concerned about my safety, what's wrong with that? But you guys are the ones who treat the workshop as a market, and you can come and go as you please?!
We don't need any more people in our workshop, so please go back. As for the wages that have not been settled, you can come and collect them after the end of the month."
