The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

After the Laba Festival, Zhou Jia told Mr. Qian the news that he might go to Beijing to take up a post, and there was still good luck and good luck.

Li Yu said to Ruyi: "Ruyi, if I really want to go to Kyoto to take up a post in the next year, Xiaoyu's body is not suitable for long journeys. When Xiaoyu gives birth and the child is older, you will be on the road. You can take Xiaoyu back to Tongzhou to visit your father-in-law." Parents, take Uncle Zhou and Aunt He to the capital with you. If my aunt and others are willing to go to the capital with you, you can bring them with you to the capital to reunite with us. Also, those shops and fields bought here, you What should be rented here should be rented and what should be sold should be sold.”

Ruyi hesitated for a moment, "Madam, those fields are all good farmland, and the shops are also in good locations. It's a pity to sell them. I think you can keep them for food and rent, but you have to leave a reliable person to take care of them here. "

Li Yu thought for a while, then turned to discuss with Zhou Jia, "I think we can keep Ah Wei to take care of it for two years, and then let him come to us after we find a reliable shopkeeper. What do you think?"

Zhou Jia shook his head, "Awei is too young to handle matters safely. If we want to keep him in Yunzhou, we must find a stable and reliable shopkeeper to assist him."

Li Yu suddenly thought of Liu Xiucai and said to Zhou Jia, "You see, we originally planned to ask Liu Xiucai to help manage Zhuangzi. Now we plan to leave Ah Wei here to take care of it, so we ask Liu Xiucai to be the shopkeeper to take charge of the harvest of Zhuangzi and the fields of the shop. , what do you think?"

Ruyi nodded and said: "Mr. Liu is indeed good, he is upright and not pedantic."

"Well, Liu Xiucai has to teach in so many industries and manage Zhuangzi and shops. I think we should invite another gentleman to teach those children." Zhou Jia also agreed to Li Yu's proposal.

Someone said to Jixiang: "Jixiang, when the weather gets clearer, take your wife back to visit her grandparents. If she leaves, I don't know when we can see her again."

Jixiang bowed and said, "Yes, sir, madam."

Zhou Jia looked at the two of them and said, "Okay, don't let your daughter-in-law spill anything. Just prepare as we just discussed!"

"Yes." The two bowed and responded.

New Year's Eve arrived in a blink of an eye, and the whole family had a lively New Year's Eve dinner together. They happily sat together to watch the New Year's Eve, listening to Mr. Wen telling some anecdotes he encountered while practicing medicine, and roasting peanuts around the stove. , broad beans, taro, Yangyang and Qijin listened curiously with their eyes wide open, and marveled from time to time.

After half an hour, the two children fell asleep on Zhou Jia and Ruyi's knees respectively. Li Yu whispered to everyone: "Sir, you should go to bed early. I will take Yang'er in and have a rest first."

"Wait until Mr. Wen gives you the New Year's money before you leave." Mr. Wen stopped Li Yu, took out the wallet containing the New Year's money, and waved to a few people with a smile, "Come on, come on, Mr. Wen will give you the New Year's money first. I wish you the best in the future." May your days be peaceful and smooth.”

Zhou Jia and Li Yu smiled and said, "We have one too?"

"Yes, yes, they are all good children." Mr. Wen happily put his wallet in everyone's hands, and everyone bowed to give Mr. Wen New Year greetings.

Li Yu and Zhou Jia gave Qijin another lucky money, and then carried Yangyang back to the room. Li Yu put Yangyang's lucky money under his pillow, kissed him and tucked him into bed. Went to sleep in the inner room.

Early the next morning, Ruyi and Jixiang, Awei, Tiezhu, Mrs. Liu, and Xiao Nilu stood in the yard to salute Li Yu and his wife. Zhou Jia smiled and said: "The new year has begun, everyone is doing well. , you will receive double monthly payments in the first month, and as long as you don’t delay your family affairs, you can arrange your own time to go out and play."

"Yes, sir, madam." Everyone dispersed with smiles, discussing where to go to play.

Li Yu and Zhou Jia were busy receiving the children of officials who came to pay New Year's greetings. They were busy day by day until the ninth day of the first lunar month.

The sun was shining brightly on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Zhou Jia and Wu Ting had just arrived at the signing room. Chu Feng hurried to the government office and said to Zhou Jia with a smile: "Master Zhou, hurry up and prepare the incense case to receive the order."

"It's so fast. Are you on your way to celebrate the New Year?" Zhou Jia hurriedly asked Wu Ting to have someone prepare the incense table first.

Chu Feng said with a smile: "Yes! The big shopkeeper gave me instructions before he left, asking me to pay attention to the schedule of the prince. I heard that your majesty also personally inscribed a plaque for the Martyrs' Shrine and asked the prince and the others to hurry up and deliver it. Alas ! I have heard from the big shopkeeper that you are also going to Beijing to take up a post. I wonder when we will see each other again?"

Zhou Jia patted Chu Feng and said with a smile: "Why are you so polite to me again? We can see you when you return to Beijing in the future!"

Chu Feng smiled sarcastically, "The boss said that I broke the rules and dared to call you brother. I am just too rude. Fortunately, you and my wife are not as knowledgeable as me."

"Hey! We have been dealing with each other for so many years, and the big shopkeeper has always been so polite." Zhou Jia sighed.

As soon as Wu Tingxian prepared the incense case, the eunuch Wang Gonggong who issued the decree came. Everyone knelt down to accept the decree. It was announced that Zhou Jia was coming to Beijing to serve as a doctor in the household department, and Wu Tingxian was promoted to the prefect of Yunzhou. After receiving the decree, a group of people were busy sending plaques to the loyal martyrs. Temple, please ask the Taoist priest to choose an auspicious day in the zodiac to hang a plaque inscribed by the emperor.

On the way back, Chu Feng and Wang Gonggong went to the garrison government office to issue the decree. Zhou Jia and Wu Tingxian returned to the government office together. All the officials of the government office came up to congratulate them. Wu Tingxian also bowed to Zhou Jia and saluted, "Master Zhou, congratulations." You have been promoted to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I would like to thank you for your support."

Zhou Jia quickly helped him up: "Mr. Wu, you are so polite. Congratulations on your promotion to the prefect of Yunzhou. I will come back to hand over to you when I go back to make arrangements."

"Please." Wu Ting responded respectfully. Watching Zhou Jia go to the backyard of the government office, he thought to himself, Mr. Zhou is really blessed! It’s too easy to get promoted! Although they are both fifth-grade officials, there is a huge difference between a fifth-grade Beijing official and a fifth-grade state official. Fortunately, I have always supported him and have not secretly competed with him.

Mr. Qian happily followed Zhou Jia, "Sir, I will sort out the accounts and official documents, and I will hand them over to Mr. Wu when you come back."

"Okay, you sort it out first. I'll go back to Houya and tell the news to my wife and husband."

Zhou Jia returned to the back office and said to Li Yu with a smile: "Yu'er, I just received the imperial edict. His Majesty sent me back to Beijing to serve as a foreign minister in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Wu Tingxian took over as the prefect of Yunzhou and gave us four months. time, we will start packing our things in the next few days and leave for Kyoto as soon as possible."

Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia in surprise, and said with a smile: "Okay! We can go to Kyoto to reunite with Ah Qing. Today is the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Fortunately, Chu Sihai revealed the news to us, and the luggage is almost ready I don’t have enough people to drive the carriages at home, so I asked Ruyi to go to the dealership to hire some carriages, so that you don’t have to drive the carriages yourself, and you have to buy two spacious carriages for your husband and children to ride on.”

"Okay, get busy! I'm going to talk to my husband, and then I'll go to the front office to hand over the official seal and official documents to Wu Ting." After Zhou Jia finished speaking, he called Bu and left in a hurry.
