Chapter 1104: Here comes another drama queen.
"My wife..."
Su Yueyao looked at the pitiful Nanfeng. It was obvious that he was acting, but his eyes were red with tears and he looked like a pitiful white lotus.
Even though she knew it was fake, her heart still trembled and she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
At this moment, she seemed to understand why the male protagonists in the novels she read before she traveled through time always liked the female protagonists who were like white lotus flowers.
I feel sorry for her....she likes it too...ok, she is superficial.
So Su Yueyao stood up, walked to Nanfeng and helped him up.
"Tell me where it hurts, and I'll rub it for you."
"My dear wife...it's here!" Nanfeng held Su Yueyao's hand and placed it on his heart.
Su Yueyao: “…”
"My dear wife, my heart hurts even more. He has no moral integrity." Xu Minghe squeezed in and said while holding Su Yueyao's other hand.
"My wife..."
"My wife..."
The two men surrounded Su Yueyao and called her for comfort.
At this time, Huan Yanxi, Pu An and Lin Zixu entered the yard under the guidance of servants and watched this scene.
The three of them raised their eyebrows and walked silently to Mo Rongjin.
When Mo Rongjin saw the three people, he immediately stood up.
"What's wrong with Rong Jin? It seems that my wife is not feeling uncomfortable living in Nan Mansion." Huan Yanxi said with a smile after sitting aside and motioning everyone to sit down.
"Nanfeng has been particularly attached to my wife these past two days. He made a little too much noise at night, so Minghe took his anger out on my wife. They just had a fight, which ended with Nanfeng being kicked. Now Nanfeng is seeking comfort from my wife!" Mo Rongjin explained briefly with a smile.
"Oh? My wife is not angry with Nanfeng for living in Nan Mansion?" Pu An asked curiously.
"My wife knows the whole story. She feels bad for Nanfeng, so how could she be angry with him?"
"My wife is so soft-hearted and cares about him. It seems that Nanfeng...the knot in his heart has been completely untied. I think his aura has become softer." Huan Yanxi said with a smile.
"If you look at Concubine Huan for a while longer, not only will his aura become softer, but even his temperament will change. He can even seduce my wife away!" Mo Rongjin said with a smile.
"We don't need to change. My wife is so nice. We can seduce her away at any time..." Lin Zixu said, looking at the three people in the yard.
Su Yueyao, who was being pestered here, looked at them and laughed angrily when she heard Lin Zixu's words: "Are you guys enjoying watching the fun?"
"Wife, we don't have any. We just arrived." Huan Yanxi stood up and said immediately.
Su Yueyao looked at them with a smile, and immediately Huan Yanxi, Mo Rongjin and the others stood quietly and properly, and no one spoke.
Nanfeng and Xu Minghe silently let go of Su Yueyao's hands.
Su Yueyao walked over to them and asked with a smile, "Why did you all come here together today? Are you done with your work? So you all came to see me and have fun?"
"My dear wife, no, we heard about the Nan Mansion and came to see you specially. In order to see you earlier, I didn't sleep all night and settled all the accounts of Qingzhou Prefecture. I was so tired." After Lin Zixu finished speaking, he pointed directly at his eyes, almost touching Su Yueyao's face.
"My dear wife, look at the dark circles under my eyes. Have I become ugly?"
Su Yueyao looked at the magnified face and the almost negligible green shadow, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. Here comes another dramatic actor...
"Zixu, I won't be able to see your little shadow any later."
After Su Yueyao finished speaking, everyone else pursed their lips silently, trying not to laugh.
"My dear wife...you were so gentle and caring about Nanfeng and the others just now, but you don't care about me at all. I'm so sad..." Lin Zixu said sadly, leaning his head on Su Yueyao's shoulder.
"Oh, then I... allow you to be sad for a while." After Su Yueyao finished speaking intermittently, she took a step back.
Lin Zixu was thinking that his wife would coax him, but he didn't expect his wife to be like this. He leaned forward, pouted, and looked at Su Yueyao aggrievedly.
"Don't feel so aggrieved. Tell me, is there any problem with the accounts of Qingzhou Prefecture?" After Su Yueyao finished speaking, she sat directly on the recliner and pointed at the stone bench beside her.
"Stop standing there, sit down and talk about the situation in Qingzhou Prefecture."
After Su Yueyao sat down, Lin Zixu also put away his pitiful look and said seriously, "My wife, Prefect Xie is quite capable. He has done a good job of keeping accounts. There is not a single trace of fraud. The accounts are clear and concise. The only thing is that the money in the accounts is not much. Most of it is used to support the shops in the prefecture and to subsidize some poor people."
"After the tenant farmers changed their nationality according to the imperial decree, the government also provided appropriate subsidies to encourage them to open up wasteland and so on."
"So, Magistrate Xie did a good job indeed."
"My dear wife, Pu An and I have inspected the schools in the entire prefecture, the farms in the suburbs, the land, etc., and there is no problem at all. We are doing better than the policies issued by the court. The newly opened schools in Qingzhou Prefecture have enrolled more students than the previous schools in Ganzhou Prefecture and Yingzhou Prefecture." Huan Yanxi said.
"The same goes for tenant farmers. The land they are allocated is more than what the court requires. The government also encourages the people to reclaim wasteland on their own initiative and has implemented tax cuts and exemptions," Pu An explained.
After listening to this, Su Yueyao thought for a moment and asked, "Have you visited the county town under Qingzhou Prefecture?"
"There are not many county towns under Qingzhou Prefecture, only three. We have also visited these three county towns. The county magistrates of each county town have managed very well. The county magistrates said that the prefecture will conduct private inspections every once in a while. Only if they do a good job can they keep the position of county magistrate. The county magistrates of these county towns are all selected from the aristocratic families of each county town." Pu An said.
"If you put it that way, then Prefect Xie is indeed suitable to continue to govern Qingzhou Prefecture. Many of his policies have been implemented very well."
"My dear wife, Magistrate Xie is indeed a talented person. He has a high prestige among the people, and many people are beneficiaries of his policies. During the three or four days of our inspection, we have never heard anyone say anything bad about him."
"In some villages, if you mention something bad about Prefect Xie, the people will immediately turn hostile and defend him."
"If that's the case, let him continue to manage Qingzhou Prefecture! You should all write memorials about his government affairs and submit them to His Majesty."
Huan Yanxi heard Su Yueyao make such a quick decision and asked directly, "My wife, if you hand over the power to Xie Yun, aren't you afraid that he will hold the power of Qingzhou Prefecture in the future?"
"Don't worry. Xie Yun has no soldiers or horses, so how big a wave can he make? He is the prefect, but the garrison of Qingzhou Prefecture will be replaced by the Feng family army in the future. They are mutually restraining."
"My wife and I think the same thing. Pu An and I also feel that Xie Yun's position as prefect does not need to be changed. The Nan family has an army guarding them, and Prefect Xie is in charge of most of the affairs in the city. It's really good that we don't interfere with each other." Huan Yanxi said.
"Then it's settled. I plan to stay in Nanfu for two days before setting off for Yuzhoufu. I'm going to the border defense camp in Yuzhoufu, so please make arrangements in advance!"
"Don't worry, my wife. Xingchen and Yiyang have already made arrangements."
