Chapter 571: Chapter 573 The Big Shot is Back_1

"A man of his rank usually has a land grant upon retiring and returning home, and hereditary titles that come with some real power and an army to command," Ye Ge said, rarely discussing court affairs with Nan Feng.

"He must indeed be a very important figure," Nan Feng felt that her waist was not as sore, so she told Ye Ge, "Alright, if you are full, you can go back to the Inspection Mansion first. I’ll wash the dishes later."

"No, I’ll do the dishes before going over," Ye Ge had no notion that a woman should do all the domestic chores.

...

Nan Feng noticed a difference in the city today while on her way to Spikenard Square.

It seemed that everyone in the Provincial City was discussing this VIP.

Notices were posted at the city gate, reminding the citizens to take detours these days. No stalls were allowed on the street from the city gate to the Governor Mansion, nor were vendors allowed to sell along the streets, and carriages were forbidden to pass.

At noon, when Nan Feng went to the restaurant to buy food, all the customers were talking about this VIP.

"Lord Qin’s hometown is in Fujun. I used to think Fujun was remote and could not produce anybody important, but it turns out we have such a high-ranking official."

"How ignorant we’ve been. Lord Qin came back once last year. Everyone was talking about it. They said he’d been away from home for so long that he missed it because his roots are here."

"What do you think Lord Qin can bring to our place after retiring and returning home?"

"Whatever he brings can’t benefit common folks like us. I guess only officials and businessmen will know something. Us? Well, don’t even think about it."

"Why do you think Lord Qin suddenly retired? He used to be so majestic..."

At this point, no one dared to speak.

Only Nan Feng did not utter a word from beginning to end. She ate her meal, put down her silver, and left.

...

Two days later, Lord Qin did arrive in Fujun.

Even though the Governor Mansion had issued an announcement in advance advising citizens not to crowd the streets, countless people came hoping to catch a glimpse of Lord Qin’s true face.

People were standing in the street, on top of buildings, and lining the road from the city gate to the Governor Mansion.

Spikenard Square was in the innermost street, not by the roadside. Nan Feng didn’t plan on joining the crowd. But that day, there were no pedestrians in front of her door, everyone had flooded into the main street to see Lord Qin.

So under the instigation of Xiaolun and Xiaoqing, Nan Feng also came onto the main street. Nan Feng and Xiaolun, both small in stature, swiftly made their way to the front. Xiaoqing, who was masculine, used all her strength and also made it to the front amid a barrage of curses.

Although the street was crowded, guards were stationed on both sides, leaving a path in the middle wide enough for two carriages.

Lord Qin did not arrive yet, but there was already a hubbub on both sides.

"What do you think Lord Qin looks like? I heard that those who can become high-ranking officers have large faces and big ears. Without such a look, they can’t become officials."

"Isn’t that just like the Buddha?"

"Perhaps."

Nan Feng wanted to laugh, no matter how high the official position, he’s still a human being, right? In her previous life, she had seen many leaders on TV, all sorts of appearances.

Later, she overheard two people beside her whispering, "They say that good officials have a certain look, and bad officials have their own look too. As for this Lord Qin, well, we’re just here for the spectacle."

"Isn’t Lord Qin a good official? Didn’t he personally help the Emperor to ascend to the throne, and only chose to retire and return home after the Emperor had grown up and firmly established himself?"
