My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

The third master was thinking, and no one was bothered to pay attention to him.

Anyway, all the money the third master got back was given to Doubao and Tangyuan. Let them do what they want, as it’s better to keep it within the family.

At least I have made a contribution to this family, right?

Lu Zhenzhen teased Fu Zhiyi: "Congratulations, Master Fu, congratulations, Master Fu, now you can be considered a man of both virtue and talent, ah, no, you are the Master Qingtang who loves the people like his own children and protects the people!"

Lan hugged Doubao and teased him: "Doubao, Tangyuan, your father is the great judge who has taken over the umbrella of all people——"

Doubao, the toothless guy, didn't understand anything and just giggled.

Fu Zhiyi said helplessly, "This is just official custom! Many are sent at the behest of others, and many are sent just to follow the crowd. If you take it seriously, it would be a joke."

Lu Zhenzhen shook her head and said, "Although nowadays, as long as the official does not overdo things and does not exploit the people, they think he is a good official."

"If you could do something more practical for the people, you would be an even more worthy judge! But the Fourth Master has been in South Vietnam for over a year now, performing great services for the court and diligently planning for the people. How can he not be worthy of being called the "Umbrella of the People"?"

"Even though most of these people may not be sending this with sincerity, as long as half, or even just one-tenth of the people are sending this with sincerity, that would be enough."

As early as when Lu Zhenzhen said this, Lan had already tactfully held the bean buns and signaled the third master Fu Heyin to hold the glutinous rice balls and go out with the servants.

At this moment, there were only a couple in the cabin.

After hearing what Lu Zhenzhen said, Fu Zhiyi's eyes lit up.

Lu Zhenzhen's words touched his heart.

Even though he received a secret order from the emperor, he came to Nanyue to investigate the case of the third prince.

But after finding out everything, he did not delay his work as a county magistrate.

Nanyue County is located in an area with more mountains than fields, so the local business culture is strong.

Most children, when they grow up a little, will be sent to the county town to work as apprentices, peddlers, or as servants, so that they can earn some money to supplement the family income.

After Fu Zhiyi sorted out the political affairs in Nanyue County, he abolished several regulations that the previous county magistrate had established in order to extort money from the people.

Because of Hongyanzui and the establishment of the Maritime Customs, more people had the opportunity to work and earn money.

Not to mention Nanyue County, even the entire Nanwu Prefecture will benefit greatly from the establishment of the Maritime Customs Office.

So the people of South Vietnam were really reluctant to see him leave this time.

After all, where else can you find such a powerful official, and a county magistrate's wife who is even more powerful, who doesn't exploit them and is considerate of their feelings?

It’s just that everyone knows that Lord Fu was promoted, not demoted, so they are happy for him.

What's more, he was promoted to the prefect of Nanwu Prefecture, a higher position, but Nanyue was still under his jurisdiction.

With such a strong bond of friendship, how could Nanyue County be any worse in the future?

Of course, some smart business owners have almost made it clear in their words that they will follow Fu Zhiyi and move their business to Nanwu Prefecture in the near future.

I want to follow Lord Fu for the rest of my life, serve him at his beck and call, and do whatever he asks of me.

The waterway to Nanwu is only a few dozen miles long, and there are small towns and docks along the way for supplies.

Everyone sat leisurely on the boat. Every time they stopped at a pier, local officials and gentry would naturally deliver fresh ingredients without waiting for the people on the boat to get off to buy.

We arrived at Nanwu Prefecture safely along the way.

Lu Zhenzhen sighed inwardly, no wonder everyone wants to be an official.

This was not obvious in the capital, but after being sent out, I realized the benefits of being an official!

Now that he is only the prefect, the people below him have already flattered him to such an extent, with the feeling of being servile and pervasive.

If you become a higher official in the future, you will probably face greater and more temptations.

Lu Zhenzhen warned herself and silently recited the 24-character socialist core values ​​three times before she stopped feeling dizzy.

When we arrived at Nanwu Prefecture and had just reached the dock, the officials, scholars, gentry, and wealthy merchants of Nanwu Prefecture had been waiting at the dock for a long time.

When they saw Fu Zhiyi coming out, they all bowed and said, "Greetings, Sir Fu."

Fu Zhiyi, along with two advisors and a few confidants, went down to socialize with these people. He just said that the weather was hot, and so many people were standing here in the sun. What would happen if they got heatstroke?

I understand your kindness. Please go back and rest first. I will meet with you one by one after he settles down.

After much persuasion, they were finally persuaded to leave.

The rest of the people got off the boat.

Someone had already arranged a carriage waiting for us, and once we got on, we found everything we needed.

Inside was an ice basin, with cold air coming out of it, which was made of white jade crystal. There was also a small table with tea, various fruits and snacks on it.

The carriage rumbled along for about half an hour before finally stopping in front of the gate of the Nanwu Prefecture.

Fu Zhiyi was going to handle the handover, and Lu Zhenzhen and Lan came to the back door with their men.

The prefect's back residence was just behind the prefectural government office, separated by a small alley.

It is said to be a small alley with doors at both ends. Normally, both doors are locked, making it an integrated alley.

The main gate of the back house is on the side, and it is a formal three-story house.

It is much more magnificent and spacious than the backyard of Nanyue County, and is twice or three times the size of the backyard of Nanyue County.

As you enter, you will see the screen wall. After turning around the screen wall, you will see the back house of the first courtyard. Then go in again and you will see the main courtyard. Behind it is the third courtyard and the back house.

The garden is on the west side. There is a single door from the main courtyard, which connects to the backyard. There is also a separate study in the garden.

It is a very common formal northern courtyard layout.

I guess the person who built this backyard was from the north.

Before Lu Zhenzhen and the others arrived, someone had already cleaned up the backyard.

Large furniture and other items are all available.

Lu Zhenzhen and Fu Zhiyi lived in the main courtyard, while Lan lived in the third backyard. The third master now knew that it was impossible for him to live with Lan, but he also didn't want to squeeze into the back room, as that was where the housekeeper and male servants lived.

After thinking about it, he pointed to the study in the west garden.

The study has a separate door from the first entrance to the yard. The study is right inside, and there is another small door at the back, which leads to the garden.

On weekdays, even if the third master is in the study, it does not prevent the female family members from entering the garden.

Moreover, even if the third master wanted to go out, he would not disturb the main courtyard.

Considering that the third master had knocked so many good things for Doubao and Tangyuan, Lu Zhenzhen readily agreed.

Doubao and Tangyuan were supposed to be taken care of by the wet nurse and live in the east wing.

But Lan knew that the young couple were very affectionate and the noise was quite loud at night. She lived too close to the back house in Nanyue County and was forced to hear things she shouldn't have heard.

Now that I can finally get away from it, I simply take my two grandsons and their wet nurse to the backyard.

Give the young couple more time to be intimate with each other. Who knows, you might even have a granddaughter in the future.

As soon as Fu Zhiyi heard Lan's request, he immediately agreed.

To be honest, ever since Doubao and Tangyuan were born, his wife has become much colder towards him and has focused most of her energy on the two little ones. As a father and elder, he dares not say that he is jealous.

Now that he could finally get rid of the two bastards who were competing with him for his wife, he was naturally eager for it. He was afraid that Lu Zhenzhen would refuse after he agreed.
