Chapter 444 Little Fool

Chapter 444 Little Fool

When Chu Wuyang saw Xuanwu, his eyes lit up and he was about to pass with his little hands waving.

However, he was only six or seven months old and could not quite crawl yet.

Yingbao put her hand under his feet, but the boy stepped on her hand, rushed to the little turtle, picked it up and gnawed on it.

Xuanwu Qi howled, and simply retracted his head and limbs into the shell, letting him do whatever he wanted.

"Princess, that couple is here." Mu Dan walked in and reported, "Do you want to meet them?"

Ying Bao sat up and straightened her clothes: "Bring them in."

"Yes." Mu Dan went out to fetch people.

After a while, two men and women came in and saluted Ying Bao: "I have met the princess."

Ying Bao asked Mu Dan and the others to go out, stood up and sat on the armchair, and asked quietly: "What are your names?"

"The slave's name is Anrou, and she was originally the maid of the Zichen Palace."

"In Xiagu Shun, I was once His Majesty's personal guard."

Ying Bao raised her eyes and looked at the two of them, and saw that the woman was about twenty years old, with a dignified appearance, and she seemed to be an extremely stable person.

The man was less than thirty, with an ordinary appearance. He could not be found in a crowd of people.

"You take people out of the palace, what should you do if others find out that King Chu is missing?" Ying Bao asked.

An Rou lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty has his own arrangements so that no one will know that King Chu is no longer in the palace."

In other words, there must be a baby in the palace as a substitute for King Chu.

Ying Bao nodded and said to An Ju: "From now on, you will take care of Chu Wuyan in my yard."

An Rou immediately replied: "Yes."

Ying Bao said to Gu Shun again: "From now on, you can call me Chu Shun and follow Yi Bin as a servant. When King Chu returns, you can change your name back to your original name."

Gu Shun cupped his fists and said, "I obey my orders!"

Afterwards, the two of them took their places.

An Rou followed several palace maids to tidy up the small kitchen, while Chu Shun went to the outer courtyard to familiarize himself with the environment.

The next day, Jiang Sanlang, his wife, and his parents wanted to return to Qinchuan County, so Yingbao sent an escort to take them back.

Chun Niang took her daughter's hand and said, "Bao'er, when the arrangements are completed here, we will go back to Qinchuan County to have a look. Our whole family lives in the county now, and you can live there easily when you go back."

"Okay, I'll go back when the weather gets cooler, and I'll go to Dongchen Village on the way." Yingbao stuffed a few bottles of medicine into her parents' hands, and gave a few bottles to her grandparents, telling them to take care of themselves.

"Auntie, you must go back." Jiang Dali felt guilty towards his aunt since that incident and didn't know how to make up for this debt. "When you go back, I, I will catch fish for you to eat."

Ying Bao touched his head and said, "Well, Dali should study hard when he goes back. From now on, he will go to the capital and become a general like your uncle Jiang Wutang."

Jiang Wu was appointed by the emperor as a check in front of the palace, responsible for closely protecting the emperor's safety.

Jiang Dali scratched his head and said, "I will study hard."

"Good boy, get in the car quickly and take care of your grandparents on the road."

"Okay!" Jiang Dali got on the carriage, turned around and waved to his aunt.

Ying Bao watched the carriage go away, then turned around and said to Wei Zhan who was standing aside: "Go to the county office and ask them to show me the tax accounts collected last year."

Now that Zhouhe County is hers, she must know the tax revenue over the years.

Not only that, you should also take a look at the salary accounts of various county government officials so that you know what they are doing.

Wei Zhan nodded and said, "Let the chief historian and accountant of your mansion come with me. We don't know as much about some accounts as they do."

The princess's mansion is also equipped with a long history and two minor officials. They are not only the long history of the princess's palace, but also the emperor's informants.

However, this does not delay Ying Bao from letting them do their work.

"Go and invite Song Changshi and the others." Ying Bao ordered the palace people around him.

A chamberlain agreed and ran to find Song Changshi.

After a while, Song Changshi, who had three strands of beard, came over and hugged Yingbao with a fist: "I wonder what the princess wants to see the official for?"

Yingbao: "Mr. Song, go to the county government office with Yibin and check all their accounts. Then go to the charity warehouse to see how much grain is stored in the warehouse."

At present, the most valuable thing in Zhouhe County is food, so she must figure it out.

Song Changshi clasped his fists and said: "Yes, I will go down to the official position right away."

So, Wei Zhan took Song Changshi and others to the county government.

A few days later, Song Changshi brought the county government's account books to Yingbao to see.

He said solemnly: "The magistrate's surname is Mei. There is something wrong with the accounts they brought out. The official and Yibin went to the warehouse to look at it. Not only was the food there not enough, but most of it was moldy."

"Not enough?" Ying Bao frowned: "Let the county magistrate surnamed Mei come to see me tomorrow."

"Yes." Song Changshi responded.

In the evening, Wei Zhan came back after a busy day.

Ying Bao took off his coat and asked the maid to bring him water to wash him.

Wei Zhan said while washing his face: "There are indeed some problems in this county. Most of the residents in the city are extremely poor. I took the time to visit the surrounding villages. It is even worse there. Most of the villagers are half-clothed and look like beggars."

Yingbao handed him a towel and asked, "How are the crops in the fields? Is there anyone who has abandoned them?"

"Yes, but I don't know if he abandoned it intentionally." Wei Zhan took the handkerchief and wiped his face, then lowered his head and kissed Ying Bao on the forehead: "I will take someone to see it tomorrow."

Ying Bao patted him angrily and signaled that there was a maid next to him.

Wei Zhan didn't take it seriously. He smiled and took his wife into the inner room.

Inside the house, An Rou, who was looking after Chu Wuyan, saw this and quickly retreated.

Wei Zhan bent down to tease Chu Wuyan, who was kicking his legs, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Madam, my husband's legs are almost broken these days, and I have to deal with a few blind bastards. You must reward me well."

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare a table of good food for you later." Ying Bao was saying this and was unexpectedly pulled into his arms.

Wei Zhan hugged his wife and smiled: "That's not what I want. Madam, you pretend to be confused because you understand."

Ying Bao had no choice but to hug his neck tightly and kiss him on the lips: "Okay."

Wei Zhan grinned widely and was about to kiss him back when he heard the little baby next to him start babbling.

Yingbao looked over and saw that Xiao Wuyan had turned over, grabbed the hem of Wei Zhan's clothes with both hands, raised his head hard and shouted to her, his saliva was about to drip onto Wei Zhan's clothes.

Wei Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth, quickly turned him over, lifted up the baby's own clothes and wiped his mouth, and said with a look of disgust: "Let someone take him out to play."

"It's too hot outside. We went out to play before." Yingbao picked up the baby and put it into Wei Zhan's arms: "He wants you to hug him, so just hug him."

Wei Zhan had no choice but to walk to the window with Wu Yao in his arms, pointed at the persimmon tree outside and said, "You little fool, do you want to climb a tree?"

Wu Ya blinked and stared at him, then wrapped her short arms around his neck, rested her head on the side of his neck, and closed her eyes.

"You little thing, it turns out you want to sleep." Wei Zhan patted him gently a few times and walked around the room twice. He saw that the little baby was really asleep, so he put him on the small wooden bed and covered him with the baby. Quilt.

He came behind his wife and gently held Ying Bao, who was checking the account book, in his arms.
