86 Chapter 207: Homecoming

Speaking of leading the way, it is naturally impossible for Qin Mian and Lei Tie to walk in front of Emperor Xiaohui. After entering the county seat, Emperor Xiaohui is in front, and Qin Mian and Lei Tie follow him.

With neatly arranged houses, green farmland, and blue and clear lakes, Emperor Xiaohui has a panoramic view, showing satisfaction on his face, nodding his head from time to time. In the distant farmland, the farmer leaned his head with a hoe in his hand, laughed and chatted with the farmer in the next door, his face facing the sun, and the satisfaction of life in his smile touched people's hearts. Under the willow tree, children of all ages chased and frolicked, and the crisp and tender voice filled with joy. The woman who was beating the laundry on the bluestone slab by the lake scolded them with her voice from time to time. Although it was a scolding, her voice definitely carried love for the child.

Qin Mian and Lei Tie did not use gorgeous words to tell Emperor Xiaohui how much thought and energy they had spent on rebuilding Kuxian County. They looked calm and not surprised.

Grandpa Li could see clearly and couldn't help but regret that the emperor was about to lose two generals.

Emperor Xiaohui was infected by the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere in the county town, and for a moment he forgot about Qin Mian and Lei Tie's retiring soon, and he laughed from the heart.

"Good, good. Let me go ahead and have a look."

Emperor Xiaohui took the lead to walk into the farmland, and everyone quickly followed.

The farmer who was weeding in the field finally discovered the large team in the distance. When he saw the bright yellow that only the emperor could wear, he quickly guessed the identity of this person after a moment. He was frightened and knelt down on the ground in a daze.

Emperor Xiaohui hurriedly stepped forward, and the nearest old man said kindly: "Old man, hurry up."

The old man was flattered, his legs were weak, and he stood up straight for a long while.

Emperor Xiaozao gently called the farmers nearby and asked them about their age, the harvest in the fields, how many people in the family, and so on.

Several young people were bolder and summoned the courage to answer. Several elderly people were encouraged and joined the conversation.

It's hard to dislike Emperor Xiaohui. For a time, several people in the sky and the underground had a very happy conversation.

An eight-year-old child ran to pick a big red peach from the tree.

Li Gonggong's expression changed slightly, and he was about to step forward, but was stopped by Emperor Xiaohui.

Emperor Xiaohui believed Qin Mian and Lei Tie's mastery of Ku County, smiled and peeled the skin himself, took a bite, "Well, sweet."

That is natural. The living standards of the people in the mountains are indeed much worse than those in the plains. Qin Mian was willing to help them. When they planted these fruit trees, they were properly transformed with spiritual spring water. Therefore, the fruits of Kui County are very sweet.

"Thank you for the hospitality of the little guy." Emperor Xiaohui rubbed the child's head kindly.

The child smiled innocently and looked ignorant.

The child's father was so excited that his hands trembled and almost fainted.

Qin Mian laughed vigorously, saying that I was afraid that the father of the child would not let the child wash his hair for ten and a half months.

After walking around in the farmland, Qin Mian and Lei Tie led Emperor Xiaohui to the street again. Emperor Xiaohui randomly selected several households to visit and was very satisfied.

At this time, Emperor Xiaohui was also a little tired and asked Qin Mian and Lei Tie to take him to their house.

Lei Tie ordered the Janissaries to deploy defenses first.

When Qin Mian, Lei Tie, and Emperor Xiaohui arrived, Qin Mian's house was laid out as strong as an iron bucket.

Qin Mian arranged for Emperor Xiaohui to rest in the master bedroom, accompanied by Grandpa Li.

Qin Mian asked what ingredients the two imperial chefs who came with Emperor Xiaohui needed to prepare, and went to buy various meats, and then went to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables.

After Emperor Xiaohui rested for nearly an hour, he let Qin Mian and Lei Tie accompany them to lunch.

In the afternoon, Qin Mian and Lei Tie took Emperor Xiaohui to visit the school and several skill training classes in the county town. Emperor Xiaohui praised Qin Mian's actions. Although the "skilled, agricultural, industrial and commercial" and "business" are ranked last, Emperor Xiaohui never felt that merchants were unimportant. For example, after the Battle of Tura, the total donations of merchants alone amounted to more than 10 million. Commercial taxation is one of the important sources of imperial taxation.

Since Emperor Xiaohui came all the way, it was naturally impossible to leave after the inspection. The next morning, Qin Mian and Lei Tie took him to experience the pleasure of picking fruits and vegetables by himself.

Seeing someone plowing in the field, Emperor Xiaohui also went to experience it, scaring the faces of the accompanying officials, lest the cow suddenly went crazy and hurt Emperor Xiaohui.

Emperor Xiaohui knows that both Qin Mian and Lei Tie will escort them. They are calm and have a great time.

Seeing this, many people who watched the excitement suddenly admired Emperor Xiaohui even more, and felt a little affection in their hearts. The emperor has always been aloof in their hearts. Who would have thought that they would not only see the emperor in their lifetime, but also that the emperor would learn from them how to plow the fields?

After four days in Kuo County, Emperor Xiaohui had to set off to return to Beijing.

When he came this time, Emperor Xiaohui brought the new magistrate of Kuo County and directly kept him. Emperor Xiaohui asked Qin Mian and Lei Tie to return to Beijing with him and formally handed over.

Emperor Xiaohui is also very kind. If Qin Mian and Lei Tie return to Qingshan Village directly from Kuxian County, I'm afraid that the people in the court thought they were "pushed into the cold palace" by Emperor Xiaohui, in case Qin Mian and Lei Tie meet When it is troublesome, an official can bully them. But returning to Beijing together with Emperor Xiaohui is different, which shows that Emperor Xiaohui still values ​​them.

Both Qin Mian and Lei Tie are not stupid. Naturally, they wanted to get this, and they inherited the love of Emperor Xiaohui.

On the day of departure, when the people learned that Qin Mian and Lei Tie were leaving Kuxian, they were all shocked and knelt down with tears, reluctant to leave. It goes without saying that Qin Mian is a good county magistrate. Although Lei Tie doesn't talk much and the people are cold, but how much effort has been made to rebuild Kuhian County, the people are not blind, they are all in their eyes.

"Master Qin, General Lei, we can't bear you!"

"Master Qin, General Lei, go all the way!"

"Master Qin and General Lei are good officials!"

"..."

Emperor Xiaohui was taken aback by the grand occasion of tens of thousands of people, and he couldn't help but sighed: "If all the officials in Daxia Kingdom are like Lei Aiqing and Qin Aiqing, why don't Daxia Kingdom be strong?"

The accompanying officials all bowed their heads and said yes.

The new magistrate Su, watching the people send Qin Mian and Lei Tie out one mile after another, the blood in his chest suddenly boiled, and his fists couldn't help clenching tightly. If one day, he can also make the people willing to do this for him, he thinks, he will die without regret.

Needless to say on the way back to Beijing.

After returning to Beijing, Qin Mian and Lei Tie formally handed in their resignation.

Emperor Xiaohui removed the post of General in Lei Tie Town, Qin Mian removed the post of County Magistrate of Kuo County, retained the title of Lei Tie Town, and retained Mrs. Qin Mian's mandate. Qin Ruiqi is still the eldest son of Zhen Guo, Lei Ruilin He is still the head of An County, not only that, but he personally ordered the Imperial Guard to escort the Qin Mian family back to their hometown, which is indeed a supreme favorite.

Chen Mufeng, Changsun He and Lei Xiangzhi are all seeing each other upstairs.

"I don't know why, I always feel that the capital will become more boring as soon as they leave." Chen Mufeng held a six or seven-month-old baby in his arms, with a chubby appearance that was likable.

Chang Sunhe poked little brother Chen in the cheek gently, "What's the matter with this? If we feel bored at any time, we will go to Zhaole County to play."

"Then it's settled," Chen Mufeng said.

Lei smiled slightly towards Zhi and watched Qin Mian and others drift away, hoping that the older brother and sister-in-law would get better and better in the future. Last year, he was promoted to a bachelor degree from the fourth-rank cabinet, and he believes that he will get better and better in the future.

After leaving the capital, Qin Mian, Lei Tie, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin's family of four were relaxed physically and mentally. In the spacious carriage, the family of four played "Run Fast" with the playing cards "invented" by Qin Mian. "Run fast", as the name implies, the winner is the one who finishes the cards first. Qin Mian, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin joined forces. Lei Tie's foreheads were covered with notes, and the three father and son laughed triumphantly from time to time.

The generals outside the carriage heard the laughter and couldn't help smiling.

A little white lying on Qin Mian's lap, tilted his head to look at the card in his hand, his two ears were erected for a while, and the cochlea was pressed for a while, and his head was tilted from time to time. It really seemed to understand. The golden eagle stood on the top of the carriage, flapping its wings casually, and then flew up and hovered in the air leisurely; then fell down, lazily looking around. The golden retriever's body is too large, in another carriage.

Not in a hurry to go back, the Qin Mian family walked and played, and it took more than a month to enter Zhaoyang County.

Old friend Nie Heng had received the news long ago and greeted them at the intersection.

After lunch at Nie Heng's house, the convoy continued to set off and entered Qingshan Village in the evening.

The summer days are long, and the villagers have not rested yet. They gather to enjoy the cool under the big trees at the entrance of the village. Some are catering soles, some are eating, some are playing chess, and some are chatting at home.

Wu Di saw the approaching familiar carriage sharply, stood up and said in surprise, "Is that the Tiezi family?"

"Yo, really!"

"Are there officers and soldiers escorting? This is returning home!"

While discussing, everyone greeted them and greeted enthusiastically.

"Tiezi Wife, are you back?"

"Have you worked hard along the way?"

"It's back, the big guy misses you."

There were other children who couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle Qin, are Yuan Yuan and ManMan back?"

"YuanYuan, ManMan..."

"There are golden retrievers and a little white!"
