Chapter 795: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 795: Shu Yu Returns to the Village
Shu Yu paused and turned to look at Yao Bo, who had entered the house.
Now that they had received the confirmed news, Yao Bo was not afraid of others knowing. He eagerly told the Lu family, "Just this afternoon, the County Magistrate led the official delivering the decree from the Ministry of Justice to our house and read the imperial decree there. My father has been reinstated, and the Emperor has rewarded him with many things, including a residence."
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "A residence?"
"Yes," Yao Bo nodded repeatedly. "My father is currently talking with the official from the Ministry of Justice and the County Magistrate. I came here first to tell you this good news. I also wrote down the address of the residence. Uncle Lu, if you have any matters in the future, send us a letter to that place."
The Yao family originally had a house in the capital, but after Yao Tianqin was exiled, the house was naturally confiscated and sold to someone else.
However, the house that the Emperor rewarded them now was even bigger than their original one, with three entrances, and most importantly, it had a good location.
The Lu family was delighted for the Yao family, especially the old lady, who clapped her hands and said, "Oh my, this came so suddenly. I must prepare something for you. When are you leaving? I don't know if I'll have enough time."
Compared to Lu Erbai, the old lady had already realized that this was a tremendous connection.
This was a high-ranking official in the capital, several ranks higher than the County Magistrate.
In any case, they had to establish a strong relationship.
Yao Bo waved his hand repeatedly in response. "Grandmother Lu, you're too kind. If it weren't for Uncle Lu and Second Miss helping us, we wouldn't be where we are today. But we still need some time before we can leave. The official from the Ministry of Justice wants to meet with Master Qi, but he's not in Heichang County at the moment, so the official plans to wait a few more days."
What he didn't say was that the official from the Ministry of Justice had suffered a minor injury while rushing here and couldn't continue his journey.
In fact, he could have arrived yesterday, but his injury relapsed, so he had to stay at the post station for a day.
Fortunately, there was a woman named Hou shi at the post station who had some good medicine. After using it, the official's bleeding stopped and the pain subsided. He rested for a day before setting off for Heichang County.
When Shu Yu heard that the official wanted to wait for Master Qi's return before leaving, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She congratulated Yao Bo and then pulled the cart out of the house.
If she didn't leave now, once the city gate closed, she wouldn't be able to go back.
This time, Shu Yu was returning alone. Today was only the second day of the lunar new year, and the festivities in the county would at least last until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The old lady and the others wouldn't stay in Heichang County for long. It was a rare festive atmosphere, and Shu Yu didn't want them to accompany her in Zhengdao Village, doing laundry and cooking all day.
Wang Changdong had previously mentioned many places where they could have fun, right? Shu Yu asked Da Ya to take them there. It was a rare opportunity, and she didn't want them to miss it.
Besides, when she returned to Zhengdao Village, she could have meals at the estate and wouldn't go hungry for three meals a day.
Moreover, she wasn't busy at all now. She had already handed in the hot packs, and the registration records were well-organized. Apart from being busy in the morning and evening, she had free time during the rest of the day.
The old lady couldn't resist her and could only stay in the county.
But she said that she would definitely return by the sixth day of the first lunar month at the latest.
Shu Yu sat on the cart and leisurely returned to the village.
Due to the Lunar New Year, the village was still lively and festive. The children were also rare to be seen running and playing outside.
