Chapter 160 The Flower Festival

When Murong Run arrived at the next inn, the first thing he did was ask the servants to change the carriage.

Although it was just a little girl, Murong Run felt uncomfortable for some reason, and she no longer wanted the carriage she had contaminated.

Actually, Murong Run had never seen that little girl, but just from her voice, she could hear a lot of calculations.

I have had too many eyes and ears since I was a child, and it can only be regarded as the lowest level.

If it wasn't for those robbers who spoke too much, he wouldn't care.

Whoever made their daughters and relatives small, all of them are doted on, since he was a child, he could not see others bullying women.

"I didn't expect to encounter such unfortunate things on the way home." When Murong Run was taking a bath, he was still very depressed.

If it weren't for the protection of those fruits, he would have long ago rode home with his servants on a fast horse, and he would never have encountered such a thing.

Murong Run touched his face, was it because he was too attractive?

Alas, beautiful men are troublesome.

After    set off again, Murong Run instructed the servant: "Next time you encounter this kind of thing, don't worry about it! I have to find something to block my ears, otherwise it will be annoying."

The servant smiled.

Time flies fast, and in a blink of an eye, it is the third day of the third month of the third month, which is also the annual Huachao Festival in Dachang.

The Flower Festival, like the Spring Festival, is a grand event in Dachang.

On this day, everyone must stop farming activities, and those who participate in corvée can also go home and reunite with their relatives on this day.

In addition, there will be lively celebrations in cities, counties, towns and other places.

Enjoying peach blossoms, eating peach blossom cakes, drinking peach blossom wine, and dancing peach blossom dances are also perennial activities in Yongding County.

In the county seat of Yongding County, colorful strips have been hung on the streets, and peach blossoms and silk flowers made of cloth are also used in front of the shops.

Zhang Zhan was walking on the street with his servants, and the people around him greeted him with enthusiasm when they saw him.

"Master Zhang, are you out for the Flower Festival?"

"Um."

There are also enthusiastic vendors, who handed the things in their hands to Zhang Zhan: "Master Zhang, some gadgets, you can play with them."

"That's not necessary, I'll just come out and walk around." Zhang Zhan wanted to push back.

"Master Zhang, don't refuse, it's not worth much, it's all made by my own family." The vendor's face turned red, and his voice increased when he spoke, "If it weren't for you, I would still be living on the streets with my family, I don't know. How about tomorrow."

When the others heard this, they all gathered around, and their mouths were full of thanks.

"Yeah, if it wasn't for Mr. Zhang's impartial law enforcement, how could we have survived the disaster so quickly?"

"If it wasn't for the disaster relief food distributed by Master Zhang, the old and the young in my family would have starved to death."

"Master Zhang is Master Qingtian!"

Zhang Zhan originally thought that he would be able to go back after only two months in Yongding County.

I didn't expect that this disaster relief, coupled with various mundane events, would suddenly delay the Huachao Festival.

But after the Flower Festival, he was going to leave.

Now is his last time to see this Yongding County that he has sorted out.

In the past in Wanning City, Zhang Zhan never did so many practical things, nor was he so loved by the common people.

But when he was walking in the crowd, seeing everyone's expressions of gratitude towards him, and speaking sincere words, Zhang Zhan's heart also filled with warmth.

He suddenly understood why most of the people in the court who were dedicated to the people started as small local officials.

Maybe it's because they have seen too many scenes like this and couldn't bear to live up to their hearts.

There were also people who heard that Zhang Zhan was about to leave. They were both afraid and panicked, and they wept bitterly in front of him.

"Master Zhang, can't you stay and be our county magistrate?"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, you should be our county magistrate! We have one less master Qingtian in Yongding County!"

If it wasn't for Zhang Zhan, they wouldn't know that the county magistrate had embezzled so many things from them.

Not only taxation and corvée are heavier than other places, but even the items distributed by the imperial court on weekdays have been embezzled by the county magistrate.

Perhaps the squires and the like are doing better, but the plain-headed people are naturally miserable.

Zhang Zhan said: "After Zhang goes back, he will actively recommend a clean adult to take office here, you can rest assured."

Afterwards, Zhang Zhan had no choice but to return to the county government office ahead of schedule.

The servant came over: "My lord has packed everything, when are we going?"

Zhang Zhan said: "No hurry, you call Cao Xianwei first."

When Magistrate Cao came over, Zhang Zhan said to him: "Today I will leave Yongding County. Before the new county magistrate takes office, the county magistrate will ask you for everything."

Cao County Lieutenant: "Your Excellency is serious, this is a matter within the official's responsibilities, the Lord said so, it really makes the lower officials panic!"

"I won't say anything else, you are an old man here, I hope I didn't misunderstand you." Zhang Zhan patted Lieutenant Cao County on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Does your Cao family want to take that Cao Hua? Take it out?"

Seeing that Cao County's face changed slightly, Zhang Zhan patted him on the shoulder again, "I know that you are a loyal and upright person, and you definitely know what to do and what not to do. Before you judged the matter of Shanyang Village, I will If you didn't intervene, respect your rights as a county magistrate, please continue to keep it, and remember how the previous county magistrate disappeared."

Cao County Lieutenant was said to have a cold sweat on his face, and he responded repeatedly.

He is naturally an upright person, but the Cao family behind him is not necessarily. Whoever lets Cao Hua be arrested is his order, and Cao Hua's imprisonment is also his own judgment.

Someone in the Cao family was arguing with him, thinking that when the imperial envoy left, it would work.

Fortunately he never wavered.

Before Zhang Zhan was about to leave, he asked again about Qin Huai.

The servant told about Qin Huai's move from the village to Nanhe Town, and also said that he went to some school with him.

Zhang Zhan thought it was funny: "He went to a school somewhere? If his former master knew about it, I'm afraid it would be delicious."

The servant bowed his head and did not answer.

Zhang Zhan waved his hand: "Forget it, I don't care about his business. Anyway, I'm going back to Wanning City right now. People will definitely not be able to bring it back. Let them worry about their own homes!"

"You leave him with his people, and a few of ours as well. You don't have to contact his people deliberately, just make sure that this little ancestor is safe."

"Yes."

At this time, Qin Huai in Nanhe Town was looking at the flamboyant little girl in front of him.

Xiao Ayu's head was covered with peach blossoms, so that her original hair could not be seen.

The skirt he wears is hung with colorful fabrics, like a walking little peacock.

This is the rule of the Flower Festival. When you meet someone you like, you can put peach blossoms on her head, or tie a ribbon on her body.

This liking has nothing to do with love, as long as there is a relationship with eyes.

Xiao Ayu was only in their home, and was already brought with peach blossoms by her family.

From home to Qin Huai's house, he was tied with ribbons and peach blossoms along the way.

Qin Huai held the peach branch in his hand, but he couldn't find it, and there was something else on Xiao Ayu's head to start with.

"Brother Ayou, Ayu wants your peach blossom, you put it on Ayu's ear!" Little Ayu took the initiative to bring her little ear close.

Qin Huai pursed his lips, a little reluctant.

Everyone put it on his head, why should he put it on his ear?

But there is no way.

Qin Huai bent down and pinned the peach branch to Xiao Ayu's ear, being careful not to hurt her ear.

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his scalp. It turned out that Xiao Ayu put a peach blossom on his head when he was not paying attention.

The peach branch poked his scalp.

"Brother Ayou, why don't you have peach blossoms on your head? You must be at home, and everyone doesn't know! Come on, let's go out and let them wear peach blossoms for you as well." Xiao Ayu covered her mouth and smiled slyly. , "The first flower was given to you by Ayu."

After    finished speaking, Xiao Ayu took Qin Huai's hand and pulled him out of the house.

It was already lively outside the house.
