Lin Fuyue praised the county magistrate's wife in a conventional way. She admired such a woman very much and knew that she strives for happiness.

"Ah?" The county magistrate's wife was stunned, and then realized that this beautiful husband should be talking to her.

"Thank you, Mrs. Lu." Xia Lan said respectfully.

She felt very uneasy, but even though she had been married for many years, her face was still a little shy, and she quickly thanked her again.

"Thank you madam for the compliment. I will take good care of my husband in the future and serve him throughout my life."

"Well, you're fine." Lin Fuyue said dryly. After all, they were not familiar with each other.

Lin Fuyue is a straightforward person. In her previous life, she didn't like people who were vain.

This county magistrate's wife is also a pragmatic person, not a graceful person.

There should be no trouble between us in the future. Lin Fuyue hates trouble the most.

Although the county magistrate is not as high-ranking as Lu Shaoqian, he is still a seventh-grade sesame official personally sent by the emperor.

The two maids were busy cleaning the dishes and chopsticks. It seemed that they were used to doing it often.

The young couple didn't have much wealth, and they were the lowest of three servants.

The maids and the boys sat at another table, and Mother Lu sat next to Father Lu, occasionally talking to each other.

The county magistrate's wife hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't worry, Zhi'er. Daddy is going to see the city wall built by Mr. Lu and will be back soon."

Magistrate Wan exchanged a few words with Lu Shaoqian and invited him to follow Lu's father to the city wall.

She sighed and shook her head from time to time, and her face became increasingly ugly.

Since they are well matched, why should Xia Lan feel inferior?

"Oh." The little boy closed his eyes obediently.

Lu Shaoqian was sitting on the right side of Father Lu, serving his wife with soup and vegetables as usual.

"My dear nephew, your family will stay here for a few days before leaving."

Our family is not short of food now. It will be a few days before you take office, so you can stay and learn about the situation in Shuangjiang County."

I saw the county magistrate's four-year-old son rushing into the guest room and asking in an urgent voice.

The county magistrate's wife hugged her son and put him on the bed. The little boy closed his eyes quietly.

"Mother, mother, where is daddy? He doesn't want us anymore, does he?"

She then said to her son: "You go and play with Mr. Lu first. Daddy will be back soon."

Is it because Wan Lianpeng became a Jinshi and became a county magistrate?

"Okay, okay, okay." Father Lu smiled and clapped his hands, "Come here, come to the banquet, nephew, let's drink."

Magistrate Wan responded with a smile, "Uncle Lu, how can you be so embarrassed? It's not good for our whole family to eat your food for nothing."

Lu Shaoyi, Xiao Yufan, and the county magistrate's son sat on the left side of Lu's father.

After a while, Lu Sheng and others set the table. Father Lu and the others sat down and started serving food.

"Brother Wan, to be honest, this is our future base and the place where we will live in the future. If the walls are not repaired and are stronger, no one will feel safe."

At the table, Father Lu and Magistrate Wan were drinking and chatting. Others occasionally spoke a few words and ate quietly. The atmosphere was harmonious.

Lin Fuyue couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it. She was also sleepy, so she had better take a nap first.

"It is said that all the food in Shuangjiang County was robbed by the Turkic barbarians. Where did you get it..."

Therefore, even their sons were afraid of being abandoned by their father, the county magistrate, but magistrate Wan was not a heartless person.

Lin Fuyue heard the conversation between mother and son and wondered if the county magistrate's wife was insecure.

The county magistrate's wife looked at her son, her eyes were as gentle as water, but her face was extremely solemn.

"Be good, Zhi'er. If you sleep well, Daddy will come back. Daddy will definitely come back."

"It's okay." The county magistrate's wife smiled and touched the little boy's head.

Cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks is a rough job for a mother-in-law. This shows that Magistrate Wan is really poor.

Suddenly hearing the child's clear and tender cry, Lin Fuyue listened.

Now in Shuangjiang County, the original team of county government officials all belong to Lu Shaoqian, and the previous team members fled with the former county magistrate.

Magistrate Wan raised his glass to toast Lu's father and Lu Shaoqian's wine. Lu Shaoqian refused to drink. Lu's father raised their glasses and clinked their glasses together, and then the two drank it all.

When Mother Lu saw her daughter-in-law being helped back to her room by her son, she took the county magistrate's wife back to the guest room to rest.

Lin Fuyue could only follow Lu Shaoqian into the house obediently. When meeting a husband like my old lady, she could only accept it sweetly.

The county magistrate's wife sat in the same row as Wan County Magistrate. She waited on Wan County Magistrate and helped him serve soup and vegetables.

"That's not what I meant. I was just thinking that it would cost a lot to build such a wall." Magistrate Wan said with his eyes widened.

He pointed at the city wall built by Lu Shaoqian and others, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Magistrate Wan led a boy, his wife led two maids, and they also had a son.

Fortunately, Lu Shaoqian sent her back to the house, and then chased after Lu's father and Wan County Magistrate.

The county magistrates on the city wall looked at Lu Shaoqian and his son in surprise, "Uncle Lu, Brother Lu, what are you doing?"

Generally, the personal maids of wealthy officials and wives do not need to do these menial tasks.

Lin Fuyue stood by the window of the room and looked into the living room, thinking about how difficult it was for a noble son from a poor family in the early stages.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Magistrate Wan said with clasped fists in gratitude.

"No, no, the child is not going to play anymore. He wants to sleep with his mother in the house." The little boy responded obediently.

According to Wan Lianpeng, the couple, one is a cowherd boy and the other is a maid, so they are well matched, right?

Lu's father was very close to Magistrate Wan, and after hearing his experience, he felt even more pity for him. As they chatted, he called himself uncle and nephew.

Father Lu waved his hand, "My dear nephew, you don't have to be polite to us. You also know that at our age, we like to have fun.

After drinking and eating, Father Lu got up and took Magistrate Wan to see the city wall they had built.

"Yue'er, then you have to sleep well. It's windy outside. My husband will take you back to the house before going."

Lu Shaoqian originally wanted to accompany his wife, but Lin Fuyue said: "Husband, just go with Magistrate Wan. I just want to take a nap."

The little boy opened his eyes and saw his mother's reaction. He couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Shaoqian was still worried about his wife, for fear that she would be caught cold by the wind.

Before he took office, Lord Lin specifically told him that Shuangjiang County had been invaded and plundered by Turkic barbarians.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all. He has a guess in his mind, but he is unwilling to think deeply.

"Brother Wan, I proposed to build the city wall for everyone's safety. The common people came to build the city wall voluntarily to prevent the Turks from attacking again."

Lu Shaoqian said calmly, as if he was just talking about what to eat today.
