Female-to-male: I live on farming

Chapter 124 Finally Returns

It turned out that the content of the memorial was the document to transfer Lu Youqing to be promoted to the position of Beijia of Liangzhou.

The position of Beijia is second only to the highest administrative officer, the provincial governor, and is equivalent to the deputy of the governor. However, the current governor of Liangzhou is in name only and has been directly sidelined by the princess.

Then Lu Youqing was actually the deputy of the eldest princess. It was rare for him to be promoted directly from the seventh-rank official of Xihai County Magistrate to the fifth-rank official.

Qin Ke guessed that the princess was short of people under her command, so she made an exception and promoted him. In addition, Lu Youqing had settled the affairs of the West Sea with fierce and decisive means, which made the princess recognize her ability.

However, this is not important to Qin Ke at the moment. The most important thing is that his wife is finally coming back, and he no longer has to live in a long-distance relationship with two people separated.

"Okay, put that smile away from your face." Gu Lanxi looked at his overly bright smile and rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Qin Ke coughed lightly and pursed the corners of his lips, but his eyebrows were still curved and the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.

Jin Yang slowly packed up the chess pieces on the chessboard and said calmly, "Although the transfer order has been issued, Lu Youqing also needs to hand over all the matters at hand before returning. It will take at least a month."

"My subordinates know."

Qin Ke has come this far for such a long time, is he still afraid of just one month?

Lu Youqing received the transfer order from the eldest princess a few days later. In addition to the transfer order for her promotion to the position of Liangzhou Beijia, there was also a document asking Cui Yuanyuan to take over Lu Youqing's position as the magistrate of Xihai County.

"Ah, Sister Lu, let me take over your position as county magistrate? But... I have only been in Xihai for two months." Cui Yuanyuan was a little frightened when she received the order from the princess. She didn't expect that the princess would value her so much.

"Yuanyuan, you don't have to underestimate yourself. I have seen your abilities in the past two months, and you have forgotten that we took the college entrance examination together. Your abilities are not worse than mine. It was me who recommended you to His Highness to take over my position. His Highness is now eager for talented people and it is the time to employ people. You must seize this opportunity." Lu Youqing looked at Cui Yuanyuan's unconfident look, smiled, patted her shoulder and encouraged her.

"In that case," Cui Yuanyuan was a little scared at first, but now after hearing what Lu Youqing said, she calmed down, took a deep breath, raised the corners of her lips and said, "Thank you for your highness the princess's respect. Yuanyuan will do her best for you."

Perhaps only the princess was willing to give her this opportunity. It was extremely difficult for women in the world to stand out. She had also heard about the heroic deeds of Her Royal Highness the Princess and admired her very much.

Cui Yuanyuan is now grateful for the princess's trust and respect. She knows that she is in the position she is in today thanks to the princess's appreciation and support. She decided to repay the princess's kindness with practical actions and devote all her loyalty to her.

"You have gradually sorted out the affairs of Xihai now. I will gradually hand over the affairs to you. In addition to government affairs, you must pay special attention to the sugar factory in Xihai. I have an appointment with Chu Yin, the person in charge of the sugar factory, tonight. It's a good opportunity for you to come with us."

Cui Yuanyuan nodded in agreement.

Xihai County is remote and there are no large restaurants, so Lu Youqing simply invited Chu Yin to her house. It just so happened that there were some fresh dishes that Qin Ke had sent a while ago, so it was a good opportunity for them to come and try them together.

Moreover, it is kept confidential at home, so there is no need to worry about what you discuss being spread out.

"Come, sit down, we'll talk while we eat." Lu Youqing had a calm expression and slightly extended his hand to signal while sitting in the main seat.

At this time, the bamboo curtain hanging in the house was lifted up, the window opened, and the faint moonlight outside came in like a wisp of gauze, sprinkling in every corner of the room. The whole house was instantly bathed in this soft moonlight, becoming bright and warm.

There were only three of them in the room, and Li Nanqiao took Lihua and the others to the kitchen to eat.

"Chu Yin, the sugarcane harvest in Xihai has begun, right? Has the sugar factory started operating?"

The sugar factory was built long ago, but it has been shut down due to a lack of sugarcane.

Chu Yin nodded and said, "Yes, sir, we had spread the news to buy sugarcane earlier, and someone delivered it as soon as the sugarcane was ripe."

"Are we ready for the first batch of finished products?" Lu Youqing asked.

"The first batch of finished products will be available in two days. I will ask you to check it out then."

Lu Youqing reminded: "The main sales channel for white sugar is outside. The market in Xihai is very small. So you have to open up sales channels."

"Don't worry, my lord."

Lu Youqing suddenly sighed, his amber eyes fixed on Chu Yin, and said, "I will no longer be your master from now on."

Chu Yin's pupils trembled, and she even stood up in surprise, and asked anxiously: "Sir? What do you mean?"

Lu Youqing looked at her and his eyebrows suddenly curved up, and a faint smile appeared on his cold and indifferent face.

That smile, like the melting of ice and snow and the blooming of spring flowers, gives people an indescribable feeling of amazement.

After Chu Yin met Lu Youqing, she rarely saw her smile. Now seeing her like this, she couldn't help but feel moved.

"Chu Yin, don't worry. My transfer order has come down, and I will set off back to Cangwu City in a month." Lu Youqing motioned for her to sit back down and explained.

Chu Yin's expression softened, and she calmed down and asked, "Sir, what's going on?"

"County Lieutenant Cui will take over my job in the future. If there are any problems with the sugar factory, you can go to County Lieutenant Cui. You have met him before, so I won't introduce him to you."

Cui Yuanyuan smiled and nodded to Chu Yin.

She had heard about Chu Yin from Lu Youqing and admired her for her forbearance in enduring humiliation for so many years.

"It seems that you have been promoted. Chu Yin congratulates you here." Chu Yin raised the wine glass in her hand and said with a hint of reluctance, "I have known that you have a bright future, but I didn't expect that we would be separated so early. The people of Xihai have been able to live and work in peace and contentment for more than half a year, all thanks to you!"

She looked at Lu Youqing with deep gratitude in her eyes. If it weren't for her, she couldn't imagine what her situation would be like now.

She gave Chu Yin the opportunity to take revenge and supported her in building her own career.

Lu Youqing smiled slightly, raised his glass and clinked it with Chu Yin's: "Thank you for the compliment. I just did some of my duties. In the future development of Xihai, you and Yuanyuan will still need to cooperate well."

Cui Yuanyuan noticed Lu Youqing's gaze and raised her glass.

The three of them smiled at each other and drank it all in one gulp. As the wine entered their throats, a hot feeling surged into their hearts and their emotions surged.
