Chapter 801: Chapter 801: Time Flies Chapter 801: Chapter 801: Time Flies Meng Yunzheng planning to open an academy and be its headmaster was, after all, still just a plan, and Shu Yu hadn’t mentioned it to his family.
But Meng Yunzheng was taking Dahu with him; he would be reading at home, and Dahu would be studying too, which made them good companions.
For Dahu, it was a tremendously rare opportunity.
So, this time when Shu Yu returned to Righteous Dao Village, only the old lady was by his side.
Sanya also stayed behind. She wanted to learn Medical Skill from Zhao Xi, but first, she had to recognize more characters.
Previously, Zhao Xi impersonated Daniu to live in Righteous Dao Village with the old lady, as they were concerned about the Lu family, where the elders were old and the young were small. At the time, being new to the place, having a man around could secure the house and help with some physical labor.
Now, things were different. Shu Yu was already living in the Lu family’s Manor, and he was the steward, with plenty of time to stay at home.
The old lady became familiar with the neighbors and developed a feisty personality.
After all, Zhao Xi wasn’t truly Daniu, and continuing to live in the village would be inconvenient.
So, he stayed in the county town, teaching Sanya medicine. Most importantly, he was looking after Daya.
The Young Head Escort from Huifeng Escort Agency actually visited the Lu family during the New Year; back then, his eyes were restless, always gazing at Daya, which suddenly filled him with a sense of crisis.
Shu Yu started working on schedule every day, and occasionally, he would take the old lady for walks at the foot of the mountain, his days passing in leisure.
The weather gradually warmed up, and the sunflowers Shu Yu planted finally began to perk up.
Shu Yu was delighted, visiting them every day.
By February, Heichang County, which had been missing a county magistrate for a long time, finally had one take office.
The new county magistrate was young and not well-connected; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been transferred to the southwest.
Therefore, after his arrival, knowing Qi Chan’s identity, he was extraordinarily respectful towards him.
Originally, when the new county magistrate arrived, Qi Chan, having completed his work, should have left. However, the county magistrate, sincerely citing his own inexperience and fresh arrival as reasons, hoped Qi Chan would stay a while longer to provide some guidance.
After managing Heichang County for several months, Qi Chan did not want the order he had hard-earned to fall into disarray soon. Additionally, as the new county magistrate appeared sincere and ambitious, Qi Chan decided to stay longer.
Meanwhile, the governor’s office sent people twice, hoping to call him back.
It wasn’t only the new county magistrate who wanted to foster a good relationship with Qi Chan; foreseeing Qi Chan’s probable prompt return to the capital, the governor did not want to miss any opportunity to spend time with him.
Shu Yu only listened peripherally to the changes in the county town and continued with his own matters.
After settling in, the new county magistrate visited Righteous Dao Village once. Finding everything satisfactory, he praised the stewards of the Manor, especially complimenting Shu Yu for organizing the registers neatly and preparing precise charts.
Shu Yu remained calm, while Wang Changdong and others were excited.
It was crucial to make a good impression on the newly arrived county magistrate.
In March, Qi Chan was finally taken away by people sent by Lord Cheng.
However, messages from the capital regarding the Heating Pack, still had not arrived.
Last time, Yao Tianqin resumed his position within two months; it’s been nearly three months now for her, why was there still no movement?
As the weather would get hotter, the efficacy of her Heating Pack would be reduced.
Even confident Shu Yu couldn’t help but worry that something unexpected had occurred.
