Qin Bai's personality is not very willing to go to the emperor in person to ask for any benefits for his family. Even though the emperor and the crown prince were very kind to him, he still remembered the rules to be followed as a relative. In contrast, the Huang family does not have so many scruples, they have been officials in the court for many years, and their connections are very extensive, and some things can be done without alarming the emperor and the crown prince.

Within a few days, the news came back from the Huang family, saying that the officials had been sorted out, and the new appointment would come down after the year, and the place had been decided, which was the Zhizhou of Jining. The date of taking office is not rushed, because Jining Prefecture is actually a prefecture with a governor, and the term of office has not expired. However, now that this Lord Zhizhou has the opportunity to be promoted to another wealthy mansion as a Tongzhi, and he will take office after the beginning of the spring, where will he still be nostalgic for the position of this Zhizhou? Wu Shaoying only needs to rush to Jining within the time limit to make a handover with the people, and if the time is calculated, he will still have time to hold a wedding after the beginning of the spring.

Qin Bai was a little surprised, he didn't expect the Huang family to move so quickly. He said to Wu Shaoying: "I didn't want you to go to Jining at the beginning, just because this place is a fat shortage, and the current Zhizhou will not expire until the second half of the year." I thought you couldn't wait that long, so I didn't think about it. I didn't expect that the Huang family had great powers, and they could let Jining Zhizhou give up this position, which would be cheap for you. But you don't have to think too much, just receive the kindness of your Yue family. People feel sorry for their daughters, and you are not a person without ability. When you arrive in Jining, do your duty, as long as you can treat the people well, do your duty, and do more practical things for the people, you will not live up to the court's intention of arranging you in the past. ”

Wu Shaoying was still a little awkward in her heart, but when she heard Qin Bai say this, she also wanted to open it. When he got this appointment, it wasn't because he squeezed out anyone or robbed anyone of the opportunity. Since the imperial court wants to send him to Jining, then he will do everything he can.

Qin Han really got the news and hurriedly informed Zhao Mo and Qin Jian, and the two soon came to Wu Shaoying with a burden each. When they went south to Jinling, they took a boat to walk the canal, and did a lot of surveys along the coast, including Jining. Although it is an old material from a few years ago, many of it is still useful. Now Zhao Mo and Qin Jian have contributed all these materials, and Zhao Mo has also added the information that Lu Jingning, the caravan under his command, learned when he was in peace, and all of them were sent to Wu Shaoying. Even if he is not yet in office, he can get a general idea of the new territory in the future.

Zhao Mo also gave Wu Shaoying an idea: "Jining is a good place, located by the canal, with developed waterways, prosperous commerce and trade, and local education has always been good, and there are several famous families. When my cousin went there, he wouldn't suffer much, and it was estimated that he wouldn't need to spend too much effort to govern the place. My cousin is a protégé of my uncle, and he married the daughter of the Huang family, and the rich families in the local class dare not provoke you. Jining also has saline-alkali land, but not much, my cousin will take people to treat it, as long as it is effective, how much is your merit. After the expiration of the three-year term, if you are promoted to Zhili Prefecture with Jining Prefecture, from the fifth rank to the fifth grade, you can try to be promoted to another prefect by merit. When the time comes, find a house that allows you to let go of your hands to control salt, and do it for another three years, and the credit will be secured. At that time, whether my cousin wanted to continue to work in the local area, whether he wanted to be transferred from a patrolman to a political envoy or a political envoy, or to return to the capital, to enter the five temples as a young secretary, or to enter the East Palace as a Shaozhan affair, and to enter the Inspectorate to do the imperial history, it was all made. ”

Zhao Mo stayed in Beijing this year, often followed the emperor and the prince to help with things, and was clear about the various departments and local administrations of the DPRK and China, and just heard from Qin Hanzhen that Jining Prefecture was going to be promoted to Zhili Prefecture, so he had quickly planned the future career process for Wu Shaoying. Wu Shaoying listened reasonably, but couldn't help but smile: "The king of the county has a heart, I haven't thought so far ahead." ”

Zhao Mo smiled slightly and looked at Qin Hanzhen: "Looking at the distance, it's actually not far." Prepare early, whether it is your grandfather or the Huang family, you can help take care of it in advance, so that your cousin can be promoted smoothly, even if there is any trouble in office, it will not make it a climate. The cousin didn't have to spend months in Beijing every time his term of office expired, and as soon as the term of office arrived, the new appointment of the officials would go down, and the cousin could save the effort of delaying on the road. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled when he heard it and said: "That's really trouble-free, even if you really want to go back to Beijing to report on your work, and visit relatives by the way, you don't have to wait stupidly at home for a few months for news." Cousin Zhao thought thoughtfully, and I went to tell the second aunt when I went back. Grandfather didn't like to go to the palace to ask for benefits, but the Huang family was so enthusiastic that they must not mind helping a little, so let's ask the second aunt to give a few words. The second uncle can also help with something. ”

Wu Shaoying looked at her, then at Zhao Mo, and sighed secretly in her heart. Zhao Mo is so enthusiastic, not so much to help himself, but to sell in front of Qin Hanzhen, okay?

In fact, if it was him, he was willing to do something to make his fiancée Huang Qingfang happy.

Although the letter of appointment has not yet been issued, the destination has been decided. Wu Shaoying put down a big thing in her heart, and she had to devote herself to the preparation of the wedding, and she was really busy. However, no matter how busy he was, he didn't forget to instruct a few junior brothers and Qin Jian on their homework, and he had to squeeze out time to read the information on Jining, and under the guidance of Zhao Mo, he went to visit the inaugural Zhizhou of Jining - the other party happened to be in Beijing, and he had just come out of filial piety, and he was planning to find a way to recover after the year.

Wu Shaoying helped the other party a little in the matter of the uprising, connected the other party, and met one of his own officials in the same year, and told him a lot of information about the local big households in Jining, and even introduced the situation of the small officials in the state government clearly, and even introduced a credible local celebrity who could be invited to be a staff member after taking office, which really helped Wu Shaoying a lot. Wu Shaoying was very grateful, and she didn't forget to thank Zhao Mo. Now Zhao Mo wants to go to the door to meet Qin Hanzhen in private, and when he meets Wu Shaoying again, he has learned to open one eye and close one eye - as long as he doesn't let him see any rude behavior of Zhao Mo, it is nothing to talk in private.

However, Zhao Mo also failed to enjoy such new benefits this time. As the New Year approached day by day, he was also getting busier. Not only is the palace often calling him to go, but the elders in the clan are always looking for him. He also has to work part-time, serving as a messenger for his father, who is now at home, and sending New Year's gifts to the royal families of various clans, and the East Palace also called him from time to time. He can guarantee that he will come to Yongjiahou Mansion the next day and accompany Qin Hanzhen to say a few words, it is not easy, and it is a little too luxurious to stay and have a stable meal.

Qin Hanzhen was used to him coming often, and suddenly saw that he was less, and he always felt a little lonely in his heart. Fortunately, her father Qin Ping talked to her every day, and her grandmother Niu often called her to help her cousin Wu Shaoying's wedding, so she could still be distracted by some things, so that she would not always think of Zhao Molai and feel sad.

There are many more people in Yongjiahou Mansion this year, and it is much more lively than in previous years. Yu Chengzhi and Hu Kun, who lived at home, also put down their books temporarily, accompanied the teacher and his wife to talk and laugh, and helped to come up with some ideas to see how to decorate the upper room of the family in order to show the New Year's atmosphere. Qin An has been with them for a long time, and the original sense of alienation caused by not seeing each other for many years has gradually melted away, and it has become more and more harmonious. He added a son this year and was transferred to the capital to reunite with his family, which was the time to be complacent. Even if he received the news of the death of his former concubine not long ago, he was not sad for a few days, and he was already forgotten.

Qin An may only have one worry left now, that is, what Xiao Feng discussed with him privately a few days ago: "Brother Qian'er is also older now, I don't know if my father-in-law and mother-in-law have any arrangements for him? ”

Qin An was always a little uncomfortable with his eldest son: "Okay, what do you want him to do? Father has his own arrangements, let's just listen to my father's orders." Deep down in his heart, he actually missed the eldest son, but now that he married Xiao Feng and gave birth to a younger son, he didn't pay so much attention to Qin Qian. Anyway, Qin Qian is doing well in his hometown, no one bullies him, there are people waiting, he thinks that it is not a bad thing for his eldest son to stay in his hometown for a few more years. When the eldest son needs to go to Beijing, his father Qin Bai will arrange it.

Xiao Feng agreed softly and did not mention this topic again, but he was secretly relieved in his heart. At the moment, her son is still young, even if she is selfish, she actually doesn't want Brother Qian to be taken home so soon. She knew that her in-laws loved Brother Qian'er, and if he came back and took away the favor that her youngest son Zhuang Ge'er had received, what would she do? After another three or four years, when Brother Zhuang was older, enlightened, and his position in front of his grandparents was stable, and it was time for Brother Qian to say goodbye, it would not be too late to take the child back to the capital. She is not a bad person, and she will definitely not treat that child badly......

It's just that her husband Qin An has such an attitude towards the son left by his previous wife, and Xiao Feng's heart is also a little uncomfortable. She sometimes couldn't help but wonder, if she died early, Qin An would marry another wife, would she also treat her brother Zhuang so coldly? Qin An is such a character, many things will only wait for others to arrange for him, instead of making his own decisions. It's just a trivial matter, but if she is so indecisive in a big matter, what kind of climate can it be? Xiao Feng felt that it was estimated that she would not expect to be able to separate the family in this life. They still honestly cling to their father and brother in this room. It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and now the days in the Yongjiahou Mansion are actually much better than in the big time.

With a decision in his heart, Xiao Feng began to pay attention to Qin Ping's marriage. Wu Shaoying's marriage has been decided, and she will not live in Yongjiahou's mansion in the future, so there is nothing to worry about. But Qin Ping is the son of the world, when will his marriage come to an end? What kind of temperament will the future concubine be? Xiao Feng hopes in his heart that this future concubine is a good person to get along with, but he must not choose a mean personality.

She began to signal Qin An to find her mother-in-law Niu and inquire about Qin Ping's marriage. It is said that Qin Ping has taken a fancy to the girl from his colleague's family in Lingnan in the past, but I don't know what the other party's temperament is?

Qin An was a little embarrassed, he had always avoided his eldest brother's marriage, and he didn't dare to ask. Even if he knew that his mother Niu loved him, he didn't dare to open that mouth easily, because he had a weak heart!

Before Qin An could find an excuse to inquire about the news from the Niu family, he was first stunned by the news from the concierge.

The concierge sent a message into the west courtyard, saying that someone had come to look for him. It was a crying young daughter-in-law, who called him father, and his maiden name was Hanzhang.
