Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 510 Voluntary Registration

Lord Pei sighed. "In the past few years, there have been cases in the military camp where patrolling soldiers fell down and never stood up again, and civilians have also found people who have not gotten up in the morning."

"Grandfather, that's different. I'm definitely more comfortable working in the government office than being a soldier. If I'm really freezing, I won't go out.

When the roads in Shangjing were blocked by heavy snow, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Forestry did not allow me to go out to inspect the fields and mountains. I'm sure it will be the same in Mobei. And the government offices will be closed. If they don't, I'll just pretend to be sick and ask for leave.

As for the cold night, I'll bring some more quilts and clothes. Besides, there are heated beds in Mobei, and I have my husband, so nothing will happen." Hua Lei insisted.

"Then I'll go and find out about the situation tomorrow and then we'll talk about it. Let's eat first, you all must be hungry." Old Marquis Pei picked up the bowl.

"Okay." Hua Lei also understood that it was impossible to get Lord Pei to agree all at once, so she stopped talking.

Several people started to eat. After dinner, Rong Jin, who was somewhat silent, took Hua Lei back to Qixia Courtyard.

"Sister Hua, I can't bear to let you go to Mobei with me to suffer, but I also can't bear to leave you alone and go to Mobei." On the path with swaying tree shadows, Rong Jin clenched Hua Lei's hand.

"Husband, do you want to resign, or do you want to stay in your current sixth-rank position for the rest of your life?" Hua Lei asked softly.

"I..." Rong Jin couldn't answer.

"My dear husband, I have the determination to share the joys and sorrows with you, and I have the courage to stand by you through thick and thin. I also have the ability to advance and retreat together with you. Why do you refuse? Do you hope that in three years, we will be apart in spirit and go our separate ways?"

“No, Sister Hua, I…” On the dim path, Rong Jin’s eyes were moist.

"Husband, please think about it carefully. If you must go to Mobei, isn't it the best solution for me to go with you?" Hua Lei whispered softly.

"From an emotional point of view, first of all, I want to be with you, and you also want to be with me. If you leave me alone in Shangjing City, I will be lonely and sleepless, and you will miss me day and night in Mobei, and you will be unable to sleep at night, which will be tormenting for both of us.

Secondly, I don't want to give you a concubine and then have her follow you to Mobei. I'm not that magnanimous, at least not yet. If you want to do that, I'll tell you straight away that you'll lose my heart forever.

Even if I stay in the Marquis' Mansion, we can only be a couple in name only." Hua Lei's voice was very soft, but her tone was unquestionable.

"Sister Hua, I have never thought about taking a concubine, let alone letting a concubine go to Mobei with me. I just can't bear to part with you and can't let you go." Rong Jin cried out somewhat aggrievedly.

"So, it's best for me to go with you. When my mother was in Changfeng Garden, she was alone and in poor health. But after going to Mobei, the living conditions became worse, but her health improved.

Why? It’s because my father is with me. Although my father is very busy and may not be with my mother every day, my mother’s heart is at peace, which is better than any tonic or medicine.”

"Sister Hua, let me think about it again." Rong Jin said in distress. Of course, he liked being with Sister Hua, but it was inappropriate to let her suffer with him.

Just like my grandfather said, my mother didn't need to do anything when she went to Mobei. Whether it was cold or hot, there were maids and old women to serve her. She didn't need to lift a finger. When it was cold, it didn't matter if she didn't get out of bed for a day.

However, if Hua Meimei goes to Mobei with me, it is very likely that she will have a harder time than me as a civil servant. It is already very hard to be on duty in Shangjing City. If going to Mobei is even harder, it is really not worth it and not suitable.

However, he couldn't bring himself to ask Hua Lei to resign and follow him to Mobei like her mother did. He knew that what Hua Lei valued was not the salary, but the sense of accomplishment that the position brought her.

Sister Hua has vision, ability and ideas. I cannot selfishly ruin her career.

The two of them talked and walked back to Qixia Courtyard together. Hualei was helped by Qinghong and Qinglu to wash up, while Rong Jin went to the bathroom by himself.

When Hualei came back, she saw Rong Jin flipping through a pile of books in front of a small desk. Because Hualei liked reading, a small desk was placed by the window in the wedding room.

Hua Lei stepped forward, hugged Rong Jin's neck from behind, and leaned on his shoulders. She saw that Rong Jin was holding some books about Mobei that he had moved from Pei Jingyang's study a few days ago.

Rong Jin put down the book in his hand, pulled Hua Lei onto his legs, hugged her, kissed her on the face, and said.

"Sister Hua, I looked through some books about Mobei. The weather there is really too cold. If you really go there as the deputy envoy of the Silin Bureau, the job will be too hard.

It's not what you just said, that you can take a horse carriage to the fields or to the foot of the mountain. There are no roads in many places there, it's completely wasteland.

If it rains heavily or snows heavily, it will be impossible to move at all." Rong Jin was afraid that Hua Lei would not believe him, so he picked up a book with a folded corner from the table and showed it to Hua Lei.

Hua Lei glanced at the book, nodded, and put her arms around Rong Jin's neck, saying, "Haven't we read all these books before? I know.

If you really don't want me to go to Mobei, that's fine." Hualei said with a sweet smile, "Then try your best to plant a seed for me before you go to Mobei, and then I won't go."

Rong Jin was stunned, and as Hua Lei's eyes moved to Hua Lei's belly, he suddenly understood and couldn't help but laugh again, and said with a low laugh, "Okay, then I will work overtime every night."

He picked up Hualei and put her on the wedding bed of Youlongxifeng, and then attached his hot body to her. Maybe it was because he had a goal to sow seeds.

Rong Jin worked very hard that night, and he also "rudely" rejected a certain horny woman's attempt to get on top. It was another night of lovemaking, and after a long, long time, the two finally fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next day, Lord Pei went out early in the morning to inquire about the news. When Hua Lei was on duty at the Silin Bureau, she also paid special attention to the surrounding information.

Unfortunately, I don’t know whether it’s because the news hasn’t been pushed down yet, or because the top leader, Lord Mo, is suppressing the news, there hasn’t been any major fluctuations in the Silin Bureau’s office.

Two days later, the Silin Bureau finally notified Hualei of the voluntary registration to go to Mobei, and she filled out the voluntary registration form immediately.

After reading it, Lord Yu readily signed his agreement and handed in Hua Lei's registration form.
