After opening the letter and reading it, Xiaoxiao knew that Rong Yan and his party had arrived in Luozhou a few days ago. They thought they would be severely punished and resisted to death. Unexpectedly, the actual situation was completely opposite. This person was captured and obeyed obediently. However, he was specially sent by the emperor. The Royal Guards are useless.

Things went well, Rong Yan originally wanted to go back to Fuyuan Village, but suddenly there was an urgent call from the capital, asking him to return to the capital immediately. In desperation, he could only send a message to Xiaoxiao to prevent her from mistakenly thinking that he had left without telling her. Don't.

"When you received this letter, we were probably already on the way back to the capital. We were in such a hurry that we didn't have time to introduce you to a very important elder. When I escort Yan Lu back to the capital, we will formally meet with this elder again. Come to the door."

Xiaoxiao's face was slightly red, "Deng, what kind of door do you want to go to? It's not like I don't know him, so why are you talking so seriously?"

Yun Bi said: "Master said that he will let his subordinates stay with the girl from now on. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask your subordinates to handle it!"

Xiaoxiao asked strangely: "Didn't I already keep a shadow guard? If I keep you again, will there be enough people around my little brother in the future?"

Yun Piao scratched his head, oh my master, he even told the girl about the shadow. From now on, the mistress has not run away, so he doesn’t have to hide anything: "Master has done a good job in capturing Yan Lu this time. His Majesty will definitely reward him when he returns." , so there will be no shortage of people around, and the shadow guard has already left with the master. He is good at hiding. It is inconvenient to follow a girl, but he is more suitable to follow the master than me."

Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought: "Leaving?"

If the shadow guard is gone, then who is the one who appears near her from time to time these days?

After receiving the master's question, the space immediately compared the data dutifully: [Master, my ingredient identification will not be wrong. I can be sure that the ingredient is nearby. 】

Xiaoxiao held her chin up and looked around to no avail, so she gave up for now.

Yun Bian's left arm was still recovering. Xiaoxiao thought that there was nothing to do for the time being, so she sent him back to look at the yard while she continued to hide under the shadow of a tree to get cold.

On the days when the little brother was away, everything seemed to be as usual, but something seemed to be missing. Xiaoxiao wandered back and forth between her shop and Mrs. Shen's elegant residence, and then walked around the county seat a few times. She felt that Xijiang County was much more lively than before. .

Although she had lamented the prosperity of the county town when she first arrived, that was compared to Fuyuan Village. Nowadays, the streets are bustling with people, which is very different from before.

Thinking that she had a contribution to this, Xiaoxiao felt a sense of pride arise spontaneously. However, Xijiang County is so big. Even if she has more ambitions, she has nowhere to display them for the time being. Thinking about it, some experts are really lonely. .

At this time, an imperial edict fell on Bowen Court. His Majesty the Emperor ordered Chen Yong to go to Luozhou immediately to deal with the repair of the dam. By the way, he was also appointed as the new magistrate of Luozhou.

After hearing the news, the students in the academy proposed to hold a farewell party for Master Chen.

Shen Tianci, who came to Yuanlai after school to drink milk tea, curled his lips: "What a farewell thing. There are only a few people in Master Chen's law class. One of them, Zhao Yan, has gone somewhere. The rest are I'm not familiar with Master at all, so why are you pretending to be reluctant to leave?"

Ning An, who is already a mature shopkeeper, replied: "It's okay to be close. It's not obvious yet. It's not the teacher-student relationship that makes them sad to see each other apart, but the worldly relationship."

As expected, her brother has grown up, Xiaoxiao applauded, and then he was shocked and his brain collapsed.

Ning Ansheng glared at his younger brother and lifted up his sister's bangs to see if her forehead was red. Ning Ansheng replied very aggrieved: "I didn't even try hard!" It's not like his eldest brother was the only one who loved his sister.

Ning Ansheng didn't even look at him. He fixed his sister's hair and said, "Master Chen is concerned about the repair of the dam. He will set off directly tomorrow."

Xiaoxiao was a little surprised: "So fast?"

Shen Tianci added: "Moreover, because we are concerned about the situation of the dams, the official documents on the Yamen's conscription have been sent out just now."

Logically speaking, the river channel has just been dug, and the government will not recruit troops again so soon, but special circumstances will be treated accordingly.

The Xiaoxi River runs from north to south, and there are countless villages along its banks. If the dam collapses, these people will be the first to suffer. Therefore, the response from the public has been quite positive, but they can't help but secretly curse a few people who have been brought back to the capital while packing up. Yan Zhizhou.

To Xiaoxiao's surprise, when they returned home, they heard that their father had also signed up.

Ning Fengnian said: "It just so happens that there is nothing going on at home recently, so having one more person to repair the dam will give us more strength."

Not only him, Zhao Orion next door, who had been away from home all year round, was also on the list to go to Luozhou. Xiaoxiao found that the villagers in Fuyuan Village were very ideologically aware. Except for a few second-rate people, basically no one cared about the two people in a short period of time. The first expedition raised a question, Xiaoxiao thought about it at home for a night, and the next day he went to an acquaintance's house and bought several sacks of mung beans.

Ning An asked her strangely what she wanted to do, and Xiaoxiao responded with a bowl of mung bean soup that was sweet and refreshing.

"It's too hot. I'm worried about everyone suffering from heatstroke."

Ning An thinks that her sister is really the most caring, kind and lovely girl in the world, regardless of whether she is her biological child. Because he was too proud, he just showed off to Shen Tianci, and then Magistrate Shen came over before closing time that day.

Magistrate Shen said that it was a good idea to prepare mung bean soup and other relief supplies for the people participating in the conscription, but it had to be done in a different way.

So when the people in Xijiang County who volunteered to participate in the dam repair work were ready to go, the Ning family brothers and sisters and the Song family were included in their team.

County Magistrate Shen said that the Ning family could not be allowed to help for free, so the county government came forward to hire Xiaoxiao.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with letting others do this, but Xiaoxiao and the Song family are not willing to let Ning Fengnian work alone. After all, this time is not near their own village, so even if the reward is not much, the Ning family also volunteers.

Xiaoxiao and Song had no intention of letting Ning An follow them, but he, who was always obsessed with making money and wanted to save his time on eating and sleeping for business, did not hesitate to close the door and close the business.

In his words: "Compared with my family, my money is nothing. My eldest brother can't go away if he wants to study, but I can't let my mother and younger sister work hard while I stay lazy at home."

The words were rough but not rough. Mr. Song said he was wasting his time, but in his heart he was actually very useful.

Mr. Chen could go to his post on horseback first, but the people who applied for the conscription could only go on foot. It should be miserable to have to rush on the hot summer day, but every once in a while, there would be a supply of cold mung bean soup to relieve the heat, which made everyone feel happy. I am more looking forward to the road ahead, and my heavy legs seem to have strength again.

"Walk faster, there will be mung bean soup if you go a little further!"

"To say that I have participated in so many corvee labors, this is the first time I am willing to run."
