Chapter 1110 Full of People
Yu Rui heard the coldness in Su Yueyao's words and said honestly, "Please forgive me, my lady. I have been arranging yamen runners to watch every day. If they see a man with extraordinary temperament appear at the city gate, they will send someone to notify me."
"That's why I was able to get the news first." Yu Rui paused and continued, "I've prepared a welcoming banquet. I hope Miss Su will do me the honor."
Su Yueyao looked at Yu Rui standing beside the carriage and smiled, then said directly, "Okay! Magistrate Yu, please lead the way!"
Xingchen and Cui Yiyang got on the carriage, and Nanfeng drove the carriage behind Magistrate Yu and the others.
"My wife, are you not planning to stay in Yuzhou Prefecture any longer? Are you going to come up and test the strength of the Yuzhou Prefecture Governor?" Xingchen said with a smile.
"I don't plan to stay any longer. I want to return to Fengdu as soon as possible. I miss Qianqian and the others. It's not a bad idea to ask directly. It will save trouble, worry and effort."
Xingchen smiled when he heard Su Yueyao's words and said, "Nothing is happening in Yuzhou Prefecture. It's very safe. Yiyang and I have investigated several small countries outside. They are all relatively honest. There will be no war in the next three to five years."
"So my wife can go directly to the government office to take a look."
"Then what about this Yu Zhifu? Is he worthy of being the governor of a city?"
"My wife is just average. Nanfeng's maternal family, the Feng family, now only has a few old and weak people left. The people of the Feng family and the Nan family are now in Qingzhou Prefecture and will not be back in the short term."
"The Yu family is now considered the largest family in Yuzhou Prefecture. When the prefect Yu took office, she married almost all the sons of the aristocratic families in the prefecture. Over the past ten years, her children have also been married off, and the relationship between the in-laws is very strong."
"So my wife hasn't found anyone to take over, so she's the only one left in charge of Yuzhou Prefecture."
"So, the Yu family is the only one in power."
"My dear wife, it was like that before, but it may not be the case in the future. Once the Feng family army kept in the mountains comes out, half of them will have to be transferred here, so the Yu family will not be able to do anything." Cui Yiyang said.
"Who are the troops guarding the western border now? Are they newly recruited?"
"My dear wife, the Western Border Army has always been managed by the Feng family. Most of the generals today also followed the Feng family army, and some are newly recruited. Therefore, it will be easy for the Feng family army to integrate and take over."
After hearing what Cui Yiyang said, Su Yueyao felt relieved. With soldiers guarding them, the Yu family would not be able to cause any trouble, just like the Xie family in Qingzhou Prefecture.
"Zi Xu, I'll give you three days to reconcile the accounts at the Yuzhou government office."
"Good wife."
"Xingchen, have you seen Yan Xi and Pu An? They came here two days earlier."
"No, Yan Xi and the other two must have disguised themselves. Ever since Yi Yang and I arrived in Yuzhou Prefecture, whenever we showed our true faces to others, there would be people watching us from the dark."
When Su Yueyao heard Xingchen say this, she burst out laughing.
"Just now, Magistrate Yu said that I should observe if there are any outstanding and good-looking men. It seems that if you show up in the future, my identity will be exposed."
"It seems that your good looks are not such a good thing anymore."
"Wife, you should say that we are good-looking and it brings honor to you." Xu Minghe said.
Su Yueyao smiled and looked at them a few more times, then nodded in agreement, "That's quite right. I... am really proud of myself!"
When the people in the carriage heard Su Yueyao's laughter and what she said, they all looked at her with doting eyes.
At this time, the carriage arrived at the government office of Yuzhou Prefecture.
"Wife, we're here." Nanfeng said softly.
Su Yueyao stopped laughing: "Let's go!"
"I'm looking forward to what this Yu prefect will do. He hosted a banquet for me when I first entered the state capital."
After Su Yueyao finished speaking, she got off the carriage and saw Magistrate Yu waiting there.
"Miss Su, gentlemen, please come in."
The people passing by the government office saw the prefect leading a group of people into the government office, and especially saw a few handsome men, they all stopped and looked.
Su Yueyao felt the gazes of the people around her, hummed, walked to the side of Magistrate Yu and entered the government office.
Before Su Yueyao had time to look around after entering the mansion, she discovered that there were several large tables in the yard, all of them were full of people.
There are even some holding children...
Everyone in the yard suddenly became quiet after seeing Yu Rui and Su Yueyao.
Yu Rui smiled and said, "Ms. Su, these are my family members, not outsiders."
Su Yueyao looked at at least five large tables filled with people and subconsciously asked, "Are all these your family members?"
"Yes... I married forty men in total and had twenty children, only one daughter. Some of them were sons who married nearby, and some married too far away and never came back."
Su Yueyao: “…”
"Lady Su, take your seat and enjoy your meal."
Yu Rui looked at the somewhat shocked Su Yueyao, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He didn't understand why she was reacting so strongly. Aren't all women from aristocratic families like this? Feng should have married more than she did, right?
However, among all the men she married, few could compare with the men around Su Yueyao. There were few people in the Western Border Pass, and the families of good-looking men would rather marry them outside Yuzhou, so there were even fewer young men left in Yuzhou Prefecture.
Su Yueyao realized that she had lost her composure, restrained herself, and immediately said, "Okay."
Su Yueyao sat in the upper seat, followed by Xingchen, Cui Yiyang, Lu Yuanyi, Xu Minghe, Nanfeng, Mo Rongjin, and Lin Zixu.
Yu Rui saw that Su Yueyao's husband had sat down, and immediately asked the husband standing next to her to sit back down as well.
"I heard that Miss Su dotes on her husband, but I didn't expect it to be true."
After Yurui finished speaking, the servants brought the dishes one by one.
Su Yueyao smiled and didn't respond to Yurui's words. She turned to Xingchen and the others and said, "You don't have to serve me. Just enjoy your meal."
"Good wife."
"Prefect Yu, I'm only here to inspect according to the orders of Her Majesty the Queen. You're welcome." Su Yueyao said and started eating.
"That's what Miss Su said, that's what she said."
Xingchen silently served food to Su Yueyao, and Su Yueyao would gently tell him to eat quickly. She planned to go back to her place after dinner and have a good sleep.
Although the people at other tables in the yard were having their meals, they all looked in the direction of Su Yueyao and the others, watching her pick up food for her husband without even asking him to serve her, with a hint of envy in their eyes.
When Su Yueyao was full and put down her chopsticks, Yurui also put down her chopsticks and said with a smile, "Are you satisfied with the taste of the food, Miss Su?"
"Thank you for the hospitality of Yuzhou Prefecture. I am very satisfied."
As Su Yueyao finished speaking, a woman from a nearby table came over and bowed. "Greetings, Madam. Many of your deeds have spread to the border. I admire you very much. I'd like to offer you a toast, is that okay?"
