Chapter 429 A surprising glimpse
We have just settled down and haven’t even put everything away yet, but we have to pack up and go out again.
In modern society, the employees below would probably have to set up eight groups to talk behind the boss's back, and they would be unreliable.
Fortunately, this is a feudal society. With a command, Nanny Ye directed people to start packing.
Lu Zhenzhen was still making a list to see what she needed to bring, but she was not in a hurry. After all, it was only thirty miles away from the county town. If there was any need, she could just ask someone to go back to the county town to purchase it.
Fu Zhiyi went to the front and explained to the county lieutenant and the chief clerk that he would go to the farm to recuperate for the next few days and that the affairs in the county town would be temporarily left to them.
No matter what the county lieutenant and the chief clerk thought in their hearts, they promised to do their best to ensure that things were done properly and would never interfere with the adults' recuperation.
Just swear.
Fu Zhiyi patted their shoulders and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period! If there is anything you cannot decide, feel free to come to the farm to find me—"
Before he could finish his words, the county lieutenant and the chief clerk repeatedly stated that they were enough to handle such a small matter in the county and would definitely not bother Fu Zhiyi. They asked him to rest assured and make sure to take good care of his health.
Fu Zhiyi glanced at the two of them with a half-smile in his eyes, which made the county lieutenant and the chief clerk feel uneasy and broke out in cold sweat on their backs.
Fortunately, Fu Zhiyi took a look at the two of them, and seeing that he had finished explaining everything, he returned to the backyard.
As soon as Fu Zhiyi left, the county lieutenant and the chief clerk looked at each other and slumped down in their chairs.
After a long pause, the county lieutenant finally spoke: "Tell me, this new Lord Fu, has he seen something? The way he looked at us just now, I feel like he saw through all our plans and plots."
The chief clerk hesitated and said, "That shouldn't be possible, right? If he really saw it clearly, would he still be so easy to talk to? Would he just hand over the power to us like that? Don't scare yourself."
The county lieutenant still felt uneasy: "Don't forget, he is from the capital. Anyone who can marry the county lady must be of high status——"
"Of course they're of high status! Children of noble families like them are always so high and mighty. How could they even take people like us seriously? How could they possibly understand all this? Besides, if they really were high status, why didn't they even bring a mentor with them? Only a bunch of guards and servants? It's obvious they're used to having it all."
"I think this is a good idea. As long as he can be a good county magistrate and not interfere in our affairs, we will treat his family well and show filial piety all year round. It is worth it to give him some extra bonuses." The more the chief clerk spoke, the more he felt that this was the case.
The county lieutenant was also shaken by what he said: "You are right. Children of noble families like them are used to enjoying themselves. Maybe they are just here to gild themselves and gain experience. With a county lady as his wife, they may be promoted to the right in two years."
The two of them talked to themselves and actually fooled themselves into believing it.
He put the previous feeling of something being wrong behind him and was ready to show his skills as soon as Fu Zhiyi left.
Fu Zhiyi sent someone to notify the person who said last night that he would lend the farm to Fu Zhiyi for recuperation in the morning.
When the man learned the visitor's intention, he was so excited. He didn't get to be the first to deliver medicine or doctors last night, so he could only say that the environment of his own farm was good and suitable for recuperation.
I didn't have much expectation at first. After all, the environment of the village was good, but it was still far from the county town.
Now he heard that the county magistrate actually took a fancy to his farm and wanted to borrow it to recuperate for a few days.
His first reaction was, "Why borrow? I can just give it to you."
He immediately took out the land deed and presented it to the emperor.
The visitor refused, saying that the county magistrate only wanted to stay for a few days, and if he insisted on sending him away, he should go find another place.
The frightened man immediately took back the land deed and said that he would go to the farm to make preparations right away and make sure that Lord Fu could live comfortably and recuperate well.
He was also rejected by the person sent by Fu Zhiyi, who said that his master would set off today and arrive at the farm in the evening.
He just needs to send someone to give instructions.
The owner of Zhuangzi agreed and waited for the people sent by Fu Zhiyi to leave.
He immediately ordered people to prepare a lot of things and then follow him. He first rushed to the farm to make some arrangements to show his gratitude.
This is a great opportunity to curry favor with the county magistrate. If you miss it, you will regret it for several lifetimes.
As for what the people sent by Fu Zhiyi said about Lord Fu not liking to mobilize a large number of troops, he pretended not to have heard it.
What a joke! Lord Fu said this out of modesty. If I really took it seriously, I would be a fool.
In any case, we must make sure that Lord Fu lives comfortably, happily and satisfactorily in the manor.
The master of Zhuangzi rushed to Zhuangzi in the north of the city as if his butt was on fire.
On Fu Zhiyi's side, by the time all the things were packed and loaded onto the carriage, it was already noon.
After lunch, the weather was too hot, so we waited until the sun was not so strong before setting off.
After leaving the inner residence of the county government office and turning onto the main road, the county lieutenant and the chief clerk, along with a group of people, had been waiting at the gate for a long time.
Fu Zhiyi saw this and didn't get off the carriage. He just opened the curtain and nodded to everyone present: "No need to see me off! I'll be thankful for all of you guys' hard work these days!"
Everyone present said they dared not.
Fu Zhiyi waved his hand and the carriage continued to move forward.
When the carriage had gone out of sight, someone whispered, "Did you see that person next to the master in the carriage, is she the Princess of Le'an County?"
Just now when Fu Zhiyi lifted the curtain of the car, someone noticed the woman sitting next to him.
At a quick glance, one could see that the woman was very beautiful, but she seemed to be in poor health, with a pale face and a lack of energy.
Someone asked, "Who else could sit next to Master Fu except the Princess of Le'an County?"
"I noticed that the Princess Le'an didn't look well. Could it be that Master Fu was so anxious to go to the manor to recuperate this time because of her?"
"It's hard to say. After all, this Princess Le'an has never appeared in public. I heard that when Master Fu first took office, this Princess Le'an recuperated in a farm outside the city for two days before being brought back to the county government office—"
"I've also privately inquired with Lin Dejiang. He says this Le'an County Lady rarely shows up. She's always accompanied by a multitude of maids and servants. She's a delicate woman, and not only does she have a royal chef with her, she also brings her own doctor."
There was no need to explain too much; everyone looked at each other and understood.
Most people thought they had guessed it. They were afraid that the county lady's wife of Lord Fu was not in good health.
Moreover, the Le'an County Lady was of prominent status, so Lord Fu had no choice but to serve her.
Otherwise, Lord Fu clearly looked fine, but he said he wanted to go to the farm to recuperate. I'm afraid he was just covering up for Princess Le'an.
The one who is not feeling well is probably Princess Le'an.
