Chapter 814: Let Shu Yu Recommend a Successor
Therefore, Shu Yu could only say to her grandmother, "I think it's probably because the heat patches were really useful."
The old woman thought about it and agreed, "That's right. The heat patches are indeed very convenient. They're cheap and effective."
Didn't the imperial edict say so? "Benefit the Dynasty and benefit the people." The old woman understood those words, which meant that the heat patches were being used in more places than she had imagined.
While they were talking, Shu Yu had already led the old woman to the kitchen.
She said to Fang Auntie, who was busy in the kitchen, "Auntie, my grandmother will rest here for a while. Could you please help her make a bowl of noodles?"
The dishes in the banquet hall were almost ready, and the people in the kitchen were planning to cook something for themselves. Seeing this, they naturally agreed to make a bowl of noodles for the old woman without any trouble.
Shu Yu said to her grandmother, "Grandmother, you can chat with Auntie Fang here in the kitchen. I'll go and meet the gentlemen in the front. I'll find you later."
The old madam urged her, "Alright, go quickly. I can take care of myself."
Shu Yu returned to the banquet hall. Qi Chan waved his hand, inviting her to sit next to him and have a meal together.
His attitude towards Shu Yu was exceptionally good. Ministry Qian and Ministry Shi thought it was because of the heat patches that Qi Chan was able to return to the court. Only magistrate Cheng knew in his heart that this young lady had been helping him long before this incident.
Just yesterday, Qi Chan had mentioned to him that if it wasn't for the complexities of the Qi family and the fact that he had just been reinstated, with his deep involvement in the political vortex of the court, he would have considered adopting this young lady as his goddaughter.
But now, looking at his actions, even if he hadn't officially recognized her as his goddaughter, he still genuinely cared for her.
Shu Yu arrived late and didn't eat much. Most of the time, she listened to their conversations.
However, in her presence, they couldn't discuss national affairs. They only talked about trivial and interesting things.
Shu Yu found it uninteresting to listen to. She was still hoping that they would talk about the noble families in the capital, but it seemed that she was expecting too much.
After the meal, the Prefect magistrate was about to leave.
Qi Chan was returning to the capital in a few days. Since the Emperor had allowed him to return, he couldn't delay. He had to leave as soon as possible.
Today, she was lucky to be able to take the time to meet Shu Yu in Zhengdao Village. It was already quite rare.
After drinking a few sips of tea, the group left the estate, but the County Magistrate decided to stay behind.
The County Magistrate sent Qi Chan and the others to the village entrance. After seeing them leave in the opposite direction of the county, he returned to the estate.
Shu Yu had been accompanying him all this time. She thought that after Qi Chan and the others left, the County Magistrate would also return to the county.
But unexpectedly, he had no intention of leaving. Since the County Magistrate wasn't leaving, she naturally couldn't go home either.
After they arrived at the estate, the County Magistrate suddenly smiled at Shu Yu and said, "Village Chief Lu, please have a seat. I have something to ask you."
Shu Yu's face showed a hint of doubt, but she obediently sat on a nearby chair and said, "Please go ahead, sir. I will tell you everything I know."
"Don't be so nervous. It's not something difficult. It's about your current position."
The County Magistrate said, "Now that you have regained your good reputation and can return to your hometown soon, but you have been diligent and responsible in your position here in the estate. I have also reviewed the records you kept, which are simple, easy to understand, and very clear. Now that you're leaving, it would be best if your successor is also capable. Take a look, do you have any candidates in mind that you can recommend?"
