Chapter 301 Returning Home
Chapter 301: Homecoming
Xu Yuan got off the carriage, and Chen Shan and Gongzi Qin followed behind him.
Xu Yuan looked around at the people who were watching the excitement and said to the county magistrate, "Sir, I want to go home first."
Xu Yuan did not tell Xu Wenxian about the Xu family's matter.
Having been away from home for such a long time, Xu Yuan didn’t know what had happened to Xu Wenxian and Zhang Qingyu.
After returning to Sishui County, the people Xuyuan wanted to see most were his parents and relatives.
Hearing Xu Yuan's words, the county magistrate turned around and said happily, "Don't worry, you have already been invited to the government office. Your father is still on duty there. Did you forget?"
"Of course not." Xu Yuan shook his head.
The group headed straight for the government office, and more and more people gathered on the road to watch.
However, things did not turn out as Xuyuan had imagined. The women scolded her for not being a good lady, and the men scolded her for being too pushy.
There was admiration in everyone's eyes, which was completely different from when they were in the capital.
The people of Sishui County work hard all their lives, facing the earth and back to the sky. They have never left Sishui County from birth to death. Some of them can't even read a single word.
Those civil and military officials, who had lived a comfortable and superior life since childhood and had never suffered these hardships, accused her of dressing as a man and violating their ancestral teachings from their moral high ground.
The county magistrate saw the emotional fluctuations in Xu Yuan's eyes and explained, "After your father took office in the government office, he also opened a private school in the county magistrate's office. He taught the children after school every day."
The county magistrate paused and added: "Teach those children who have no money to go to private schools."
On his first day in office, Xie Xiaocheng, who was stationed in Shuozhou, sent someone to say hello, which made the county magistrate look down on Xu Wenxian for a while.
After all, he had passed the national examination and received a transfer order to Sishui County to become a local official, but Xu Wenxian was not like that.
To the extent that he had been making things difficult for Xu Wenxian, but unexpectedly, Xu Wenxian not only completed the task very well, but was also very sympathetic to the people.
Many times, the county magistrate felt that Xu Wenxian's knowledge was superior to his, and that it was a waste of his talent to be the county magistrate of Sishui County.
Later, Xu Wenxian opened a private school in Sishui County to provide a learning environment for children who had no money to attend private school.
On duty during the day and teaching in the evening.
Everyone here knows that if they want to change their destiny, the only way out is to study hard and become an official.
With his frail body, Xu Wenxian carried the future of the children in Sishui County.
The people of Sishui County are naturally sincerely grateful to Xu Wenxian.
Love the house and the bird.
As long as Xu Yuan does not do anything evil that harms others, they will not hate Xu Yuan.
What's more, it is an extraordinary thing for a woman to make a wish and be able to go to the capital, enter the Wenhua Palace, and even speak freely in front of the emperor to seek justice for herself and the Xu family.
When the imperial edict first arrived in Sishui County, everyone was stunned.
The next day, more people went to Xu Wenxian's private school, not only men but also women.
When those women were worried that the school would not accept them.
Xu Wenxian said, "Who says that women must take care of their husbands and children? No one can dictate what you must look like. Just like the daughter of the Xu family, she can follow the late emperor to open up new territories, and she can also work as a matchmaker in the backyard. In this world, women are never inferior to anyone, not only in the Xu family, but also in the world. Just like today, if it weren't for my first wife, this school wouldn't be able to operate. So, as long as you want, the school welcomes you at any time, regardless of gender, age or age."
Until now, whenever the county magistrate thought of Xu Wenxian's words, he felt passionate.
Yes, people should not be defined.
Men can be powerful and so can women.
Women can play the piano and appreciate the flowers, and so can men.
"So that's how it is." Xuyuan murmured.
"Yes, your father is now in Sishui County. He is more famous than me." The county magistrate sighed. After he finished speaking, he stopped and said with a smile, "We are here."
A word has arrived.
The heart that was making a wish suddenly stopped.
She stopped involuntarily, not daring to take another step forward.
I feel timid when I am close to home.
There was also the reason that I didn’t know how to face Xu Wenxian.
The county magistrate saw this and said, "Miss Xu, go quickly, your father..."
"I wish!"
A hurried voice interrupted the county magistrate's words.
Xu Wenxian stood at the door with a cane, his voice hoarse.
Zhang Qingyu was behind Xu Wenxian, supporting him carefully, her eyes already red.
She then shouted, "Yuan'er, you, you are finally back!"
"Father, mother."
As soon as he saw Xu Wenxian, Xu Yuan's face was filled with tears.
She stepped back and knelt.
Seeing this, Zhang Yue also knelt down.
Xu Yuan choked up and said, "I am an unfilial daughter, Xu Yuan. I came back late and made my father and mother worry."
"Get up, get up."
Xu Wenxian quickly helped Xu Yuan up, and Zhang Qingyu followed to support Zhang Yue.
The county magistrate quietly stepped back to give the family some space.
My eyes are blurry with tears and I can’t see clearly.
But Xu Yuan could see that Xu Wenxian had become even older.
He was there, like a dead tree, lifeless.
"Dad, I'm sorry for keeping it from you for so many years."
"You have nothing to be sorry for, Yuan'er. You have been great. You must have suffered a lot in this long time, right?"
Xu Wenxian wanted to wipe away the tears from Xu Yuan's face, but then he clumsily realized that this was not his son, but his daughter.
Make a wish at an older age.
Fathers and daughters should also avoid suspicion.
"It's not hard. This is what I should do." Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head. "Dad, are you okay? Do your legs still hurt when it rains?"
"He's much better now, but he looks a little thinner. He's on duty during the day and teaches at night. No one's body can handle it. But your father has a heart for teaching and educating people."
Zhang Qingyu finished talking, then remembered that he still had to eat, so he said, "Let's go eat first, and we'll talk about the rest when we get home tonight!"
"Yes, let's eat first!" The county magistrate also echoed, raising his arms and shouting, "Let's welcome Miss Xu home. The banquet will last for three days. Everyone come and share in the joy!"
The people of Sishui County had been impatient for a long time. After hearing the county magistrate's words, they made a wish and congratulated him, and then immediately went to the dinner table.

Night Stars
It was already late at night after Chen Shan and Gongzi Qin were settled.
Xu Wenxian was still very energetic. The family pulled Xu Yuan and Zhang Yue aside to listen to what happened to the two in the capital.
Xu Yuan avoided the important issues and talked about a few things before Xu Wenxian reluctantly went to bed.
Wen Shufang and Zhang Qingyu were the last to come. After Xu Wenxian left, Wen Shufang asked, "Yuan'er, there have been many people who have come to propose marriage these days, but your mother rejected them all with the excuse that you didn't come back. Now this excuse is no longer valid. Your aunt would like to ask if you have someone you like so that you can get married as soon as possible."
Xu Yuan’s smile froze and he couldn’t help but think of Bei Yao.
After a long silence, she said, "Aunt, I just got back and don't want to talk about this."
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Zhang Qingyu said, "Sister-in-law, it's late. I hope my daughter has worked hard all the way. Let her rest first. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"Look at me, it's not that Yuan'er is back. I was so excited that I forgot about it."
Wen Shufang finished speaking in annoyance, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Qingyu out, whispering, "I think that people from Sishui County are not worthy of Yuan'er. Qingyu, you have to watch carefully and don't let Yuan'er down."
The voices of the two people gradually faded away.
Xuyuan lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
She had been traveling non-stop all the way, and she was thinking all the time about having a good sleep when she got home.
But now, she couldn't sleep.
