Also, for the shops and fields you bought here, you What should be rented here should be rented and sold.”

Ruyi hesitated for a moment, "Madam, those fields are all good and good fields, and it's a pity that the shops are also sold in good locations. I think I can keep them in my hands for rent, but I have to leave a safe person to take care of them here. "

   Zhou Jia shook his head, "Awei is too young to handle affairs safely. If you want to keep him in Yunzhou, you must find a stable and reliable shopkeeper to assist him."

Li Yu suddenly thought of Liu Xiucai and said to Zhou Jia, "Look, we originally planned to ask Liu Xiucai to help manage Zhuangzi, but now we plan to leave Awei here to take care of it, so we ask Liu Xiucai to be the shopkeeper to manage the crops of Zhuangzi and the shop's fields. , what do you think?"

   Ruyi nodded and said, "Mr. Liu is really good. He is upright and not pedantic."

   After half an hour, the two children fell asleep on Zhou Jia's and Ruyi's knees respectively. Li Yu whispered to everyone, "Sir, you should rest early too, I'll take Yang'er in and take a rest."

"Wait until Mr. gives you the New Year's money before leaving," Mr. Wen stopped Li Yu, took out the purse with the New Year's money, and waved to a few people with a smile, "Come, come, Mr. give you the New Year's money first, I wish you all the best in the future. have a peaceful and prosperous day.”

   "So soon, are you on your way for the New Year?" Zhou Jia hurriedly instructed Wu Ting to have someone prepare the incense case first.

Chu Feng said with a smile, "Yes! The shopkeeper gave me an order before he left, and asked me to pay attention to the itinerary of the prince. I heard that His Majesty even wrote a plaque for the Martyrs' Temple in person, so that the prince and the others will serve it quickly, alas. I have heard from the shopkeeper that you are also going to Beijing to take up your post. I don't know when we can meet each other after you leave?"

   Zhou Jia patted Chu Feng with a smile and said, "Why are you being polite to me again, we can see you when you return to Beijing!"

  Chu Feng smiled shyly, "The shopkeeper said that I broke the rules and dared to call you a brother. I am too rude. Fortunately, you and your wife don't have the same knowledge as me."

   "Hey! We have been dealing with each other for so many years, and the big shopkeeper has always been like that." Zhou Jia sighed.

   Zhou Jia hurriedly helped him up: "Mr. Wu is very polite, congratulations on your promotion to the prefect of Yunzhou, and I will come back to hand over to you when I go back and make arrangements."

   "Please." Wu Tingxian responded respectfully, watching Zhou Jia go to the backyard of the mansion, thinking to himself, Lord Zhou is really a lucky star! Getting promoted is so easy! Although they were both rank five, the difference between a rank 5 capital officer and a rank 5 state officer was too great, but fortunately, I had always supported him and didn't secretly compete with him.

  Mr. Qian happily followed Zhou Jia, "Sir, I will sort out the account books and official documents, and I will hand over to Master Wu when you come back."

   "Okay, you sort it out first, and I'll tell my wife and sir the news when I get back."

Zhou Jia returned to Houya and said to Li Yu with a smile: "Yu'er, I just received the imperial edict. Your Majesty sent me back to Beijing to serve as a foreigner in the Ministry of Personnel. Wu Ting first took over as the prefect of Yunzhou and gave us four months. time, we will start packing in the next few days and leave for Kyoto as soon as possible.”
