After binding the system, I saved the general's mansion

She stood silently in the yard for a long time without moving, just looking up.

After a long while, she slowly stretched out her hand and let the light snowflakes melt in her palm.

Azhou likes snowy days as much as she does, but the capital is located at the junction of the north and the south, so heavy snow rarely falls, and even if it does, it melts away quickly.

One year, the capital city was exceptionally cold, and it snowed heavily on the day of the Lantern Festival.

She was so happy that she wanted to go out for a walk, but Jiang Yuanzheng didn't allow it.

A'niang was not feeling well and could not accompany her, so she had to ask Azhou for help.

At that time, they had already been engaged. She was young and didn't know how to be shy. She just thought that Azhou was a brother who was very kind to her and would respond to her every request.

But Azhou said that she was three years older and already sensible, so Azhou didn't dare to look at her the whole night, and his face was as red as a cooked shrimp.

She was young and ignorant, and she thought that his blushing face was caused by the lighting of the street lanterns.

Later, when the two of them walked to the bridge, she ignored the dissuasion and ran happily, but the ground became slippery after the snow melted, and she almost fell. Fortunately, Azhou was quick to save her.

It didn't matter that she rescued him. She actually threw herself on Azhou, and the two of them kissed each other by chance.

At that time, she was particularly shameless and said

"Azhou, you have such a sweet mouth."

Upon hearing this, Azhou's already flushed face became even redder, as if blood was about to drip out. He covered his mouth with his hands and widened his eyes, stammering for a long time without uttering a word. She would never forget that shy and cumbersome look on his face in her life.

Jiang Sheng looked at the heavy snow and smiled bitterly, the longing in his eyes seemed to overflow.

"Azhou..."

next day

Seeing that the ground was very clean, Jiang Sheng felt a little disappointed.

Nanzhu understood her and knew what she was thinking.

"Miss, it's only November now, and the snow will not last. It will be fine in two days when the snow gets heavy. By then, I'm afraid we won't even be able to open the door."

Xu Feng said beside

"When the time comes, just sweep it frequently. I'll be there so the door won't be blocked."

Jiang Sheng smiled and nodded

"Yes, my little apprentice is the most diligent."

After breakfast, Jiang Sheng took a few people to the county government office. After explaining their purpose, the gatekeeper led her in to find the chief clerk.

The chief clerk was a middle-aged man with a beard. Not only was he big and strong, but he was also missing a leg.

This really doesn't look like the behavior of a scholar.

Although Jiang Sheng had his doubts in his heart, he did not show it on his face.

"Master Zhubu, I came here to ask if the people in the outer city can be moved to the small outer city."

"Who do you want to relocate?"

"Liu Huaishan, Liu Heng, Liu Sanqi and Liu Sunshi."

The chief clerk frowned when he heard this.

"Doctor Liu?"

Jiang Sheng nodded

"Yes."

The chief clerk flipped through a booklet and said:

“No, there have indeed been cases of people being relocated from the outer city to the small outer city in the past, but that was because the person made great contributions, so he was pardoned by the city lord.

The Liu family has only been in Bianjiang City for a short time, so they don’t meet the requirements.”

Jiang Sheng had been prepared for this matter, so she was not disappointed. She asked again

"My grandfather and uncle are getting older, can they not work in the mines?"

Look at her

"Who are you, Doctor Liu?"

Jiang Sheng bowed and said

"Your Excellency, I am Doctor Liu's granddaughter, Jiang Sheng."

"Are you Lu Wenzhou's wife?"

Jiang Sheng hasn't heard Azhou's name from outsiders for a long time.

Suddenly, he looked at the chief clerk with some dismay.

"Sir, do you know my husband?"

The chief clerk looked at his legs and said in a deep voice

"Back then, when Bianjiang City was attacked by Miaojiang and Kunshan, it was General Lu who brought people to support us. If it weren't for Master Lu's rescue, I would have lost more than just this leg."

At that time, all the He family soldiers knew that the eldest son of the Lu family, although young, was brave and good at fighting, and was resourceful. Everyone said that the General's Mansion would have a successor.

However, unexpectedly, such a brilliant person died young, causing Dongchen to lose a talented general.

It would be fine if Lu Wenzhou died on the battlefield, but... Alas...

"I'm afraid I can't do anything about this. Miss Jiang may not know that people in the outer city have to pay a certain head tax every month. For this reason, people in the outer city need to work to earn money. Although working in the mines is hard, it earns the most money."

"So, sir, what you mean is..."

The chief clerk said softly

"There are many kinds of jobs in the outer city, but they voluntarily chose to work in the mines."

It turned out to be so.

No wonder...my grandfather and the others had such expressions when we suggested that they should not go to work in the mine.

"I understand. I have one more thing to ask. Can my grandfather and his family move out?"

"Normally it's not possible, because they have only been here for a short time, but I am grateful to your husband for saving my life.

Today I will be partial to you for once. Take my token and go find the people in the small government office in the outer city. They will know how to handle the rest of the matter."

Jiang Sheng thanked repeatedly

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

After leaving the government office, Jiang Sheng headed straight for the outer city. When he arrived, his uncle had already gone to work in the mine, and his aunt had gone to the fireworks alley to wash clothes. His grandfather and cousin Sanqi went to Wang's Medical Clinic as usual.

Jiang Sheng went straight to the small yamen in the outer city.

With the token of the chief clerk of the inner city government, Jiang Sheng can move freely here.

The people in the county government knew her purpose and directly issued her a deed and told her

"Miss Jiang, you can take this and go rent the house. You don't have to worry about the rest. The pawnbroker will register it and send the receipt to the county government office."

"Sir, can we buy the house ourselves?"

"Of course, if you have plenty of money, but whether it's leasing or selling, the monthly head tax will be higher than those who sleep in the resettlement area."

"Thank you for reminding me, I'll make a note of it."

"Ms. Jiang, you're welcome."

Yingqiu looked at Jiang Sheng holding the contract

"Miss, Jiangcheng really requires money everywhere. We have good intentions, but we have added burden to Master Liu and his men."

"It is not easy for Bianjiang City to achieve the current level of self-sufficiency."

It's just some money, she can afford it.

Jiang Sheng took the deed and went directly to the brokerage firm. There were many vacant houses in the outer city, and the broker took her to see several of them. She chose a house with a deep well so that it would be more convenient to get water.

Although it is a bit small, the room is sufficient. In addition to three bedrooms, there is also a study and a warehouse.

It's enough for a family of four.

The houses on the left and right are uninhabited and relatively quiet.

However, this house is just like the one where the Lu family lives, a bit dilapidated and needs to be renovated.
