"All right, Qingmeng, don't be angry anymore. Let's talk about something important." Mo Liujin coaxed Chu Qingmeng, extending his hand toward her. "Come on, touch my hand. Let me tell you, my official posting has come down. I am going to be the magistrate of Zhu County in Liuzhou, and I will need to spend a few years gaining experience before I can gradually work my way back to the Capital. Second Brother is getting the same assignment—he has been sent to be the magistrate of Lixian County in Jiuzhou."
Chu Qingmeng pinched his hand and wrote, "I don't understand these matters, but just do whatever you want to do."
Mo Liujin chuckled, looking tenderly at Chu Qingmeng as she played with his hand, and asked, "Will you come with me? I've been torn about this for three days. If you go with me, you will certainly have to suffer—the food and lodging there can't possibly compare to the Capital. But if you don't come with me, I'm afraid I won't have the heart to stay there."
