It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

The smile on Zhang Fan's face froze instantly. "General, I still have a lot of things to do. I'll be leaving first."

"If you can't find what you like, I'll help you choose." Lu Xingchen shouted from behind.

"Jizhou, Hexian, Yongzhou...isn't there any young lady you like?"

"No, no..." Zhang Fan ran faster than a rabbit.

"I think Zhang Fan is good." Lu Xingchen said, "It's better to keep the wealth within the family. Feixue, what do you think?"

"Girl, you don't want to marry me to Zhang Fan, do you?" Feixue's face changed with fear.

"You are old enough, I just ask you if you have any ideas." Lu Xingchen showed an innocent expression. Are these people so eager to get married?

"I don't like him." Feixue blushed and shook her head repeatedly.

The most important thing is that Feixue glanced in a certain direction.

Lu Xingchen followed Feixue's gaze and actually saw Ling Xiao.

No way? These two people who have always quarreled with each other since they were young have developed feelings for each other.

Feixue and Lingxiao are of similar age, so it would be a good thing if they were together.

However, they are both young, so Lu Xingchen is not in a hurry.

Slowly, let nature take its course, there will always be a day when love will be made public.

Lu Xingchen felt quite happy eating melon in his heart.

After more than a month of governance, Yongzhou City gradually restored its proper order.

Refugees gradually came to Yongzhou City and stayed there, making their homes there.

Who is really willing to leave their homeland and flee to the south?

What's more, there is constant war in the south, with more than a dozen small countries coexisting.

The Chinese New Year is just half a month away, so Lu Xingchen left Yongzhou City and returned to He County first.

Under the governance of Mr. Guo, He County has long been on the right track.

Lu Xingchen planned to bring Master Guo back to Xing County so that he could spend the New Year in peace.

After all, Master Guo is old and he can't afford to get hurt from overwork.

After all, she still has a long way to go before she can take over the entire country.

"Master Guo said that you are capable of governing a county, so I will hand over He County to you." Lu Xingchen said to Zhou Yuru.

Zhou Yuru was just like her, dressed in a dashing manner and walked with a breeze.

Zhou Yuru nodded with a confident smile on her face.

"Don't worry, General Governor. I will definitely govern He County well."

"He County is much larger than other counties. It used to be the location of the government office of North Yongzhou." Lu Xingchen said.

"I know. I have already understood the situation in Beiyongzhou in great detail." Zhou Yuru nodded.

"Okay, then you can stay in He County..." Lu Xingchen said.

This is the first female county magistrate recommended by Lu Xingchen.

She hopes Zhou Yuru can handle this important task.

In the future, there will be more women in her court, just like men.

During this time she has begun to promote education.

When her territory expands further, she will conduct imperial examinations within her jurisdiction.

When she established the imperial examination, she would not exclude women.

Women could take the imperial examinations just like men.

As long as you have talent, you can serve as an official in the court.

"We must govern the county well. Do you understand what I mean?" Lu Xingchen said to Zhou Yuru.

Zhou Yuru nodded, "Don't worry, General, we are all women, I understand what you mean."

"This is a man's world. It's not easy for women. I will cherish this opportunity very much."

"I know how much pressure the Lord Overseer is under."

“But I will definitely stick with it.”

Zhou Yuru’s answer made Lu Xingchen particularly satisfied.

"You don't have to make your life too hard. You can get married if you have a man you like. I won't stop you from working just because you get married." Lu Xingchen said.

Zhou Yuru's cheeks turned slightly red.

She won't fall in love with another man, right?

Because it is difficult to find another person as outstanding as the Governor in this world.

This is Zhou Yuru's own thought, and she will not tell Lu Xingchen.

She just nodded slightly with a blushing face.

Lu Xingchen brought He Zhang and Master Guo back to Xing County.

Lu Kui also returned to Xing County from Jizhou.

The New Year is coming and the family is going to get together.

On their way back, it snowed heavily and the weather suddenly became extremely cold.

Lu Xingchen met Lu Kui in Xing County.

"Dad, how is your health?" Lu Xingchen pulled Lu Kui and asked with concern.

"I'm in good health, you don't have to worry about me." Lu Kui looked energetic, much better than when he passed the position of county magistrate to Lu Xingchen.

"That's good. I heard that you have been very busy in Jizhou during this period." Lu Xingchen joked with a smile.

"Well, I'm very busy. But being busy makes me feel healthier." Lu Kui said happily.

"Originally, my eldest brother wasn't that old." Lu Nie took the opportunity to interrupt.

Lu Xingchen has not met him formally since returning to Xing County.

Lu Nie was really anxious.

"Brother, at this age, you are capable of doing great things..."

Lu Xingchen also nodded, "Second Uncle is right. Dad is young and strong at this age..."

When Lu Nie saw Lu Xingchen continuing what he was saying, he suddenly felt a little relieved.

Lu Yunfeng was highly valued by Lu Xingchen, first in Jizhou and then in Yongzhou.

However, he has stayed in Xing County and has never moved.

He now really regrets his impulsiveness, which has led to eternal regret.

Lu Xingchen and Lu Nie sent Lu Kui back to the house.

Lu Nie found an opportunity to talk to Lu Xingchen.

"Xingchen, your second uncle is still your biological uncle after all."

"It was a moment of confusion."

"I will never have such thoughts again."

"Second Uncle is young and strong, has a lot of experience, and has a lot to offer."

"I should think more about my second uncle in the future."

Lu Xingchen smiled and nodded, "I understand, don't worry..."

When Lu Nie heard Lu Xingchen say this, he finally felt relieved.

"Xingchen, don't worry. As long as you give your second uncle a chance, he will definitely do it well." Lu Nie looked at Lu Xingchen and assured.

"Got it. Second uncle, have a good New Year. We'll talk after the New Year." Lu Xingchen said.

Lu Nie nodded in agreement.

The people of Xing County now live a stable and prosperous life.

They already knew that Lu Xingchen was now the governor of Jizhou and Yongzhou.

Xing County is located in the center of Jizhou and Yongzhou and is very safe.

People are living a good life and feel safe, so naturally they want to celebrate the New Year well.

Before the New Year, the streets of Xing County were filled with vendors from all over the place, creating a festive atmosphere.

It was almost the New Year when Lu Xingzhu returned to Xing County from Jizhou.

As soon as she came back, she couldn't wait to see Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen also wanted to have a peaceful New Year, so she put aside all the things on hand for the past two days.

"Sister Xingchen..." When Lu Xingzhu saw her, he excitedly threw himself into her arms.

"You're so noisy even at your age." Lu Xingchen patted Lu Xingzhu's shoulder and said.

"It's only thirteen during the Chinese New Year." Lu Xingzhu said.

"I heard that you have been back in Xing County for five or six days. I was so worried that I wanted to come back to see you as soon as possible."

"What have you been doing during this period? I am so happy to hear news about you guys one after another."

"But I still want to hear what you have to say."

Lu Xingzhu looked at Lu Xingchen with admiration.
