In fact, as early as the beginning of October, Wu Shaoying had sent a letter back to Jiangning, mentioning that he had arrived in Shu and rested by the Yangtze River with the people who had been sent by the Qin family to Mizhi to transport the coffin of the Guan family. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info They had already booked a boat at that time, and they would soon take a boat down the river to Jiangning.

This letter was delivered to Qinzhuang a month ago, and now it is received by the wife of the patriarch of the clan. As soon as the snow stopped, Qin Bai and the Niu clan sent people back to Qinzhuang to see Brother Qian, and by the way, when they told the clansmen the news that they had returned, the patriarch's wife took the initiative to call the person who came, told him the news, and asked him to bring Wu Shaoying's letter to Qin Bai.

After reading the letter, Qin Bai breathed a sigh of relief. He said to Niu and Qin Hanzhen: "Shaoying should already be on the road, but it has snowed in many places in Jiangnan recently, and he may have been delayed on the road." Originally, according to his schedule, he should have arrived at Jinling Wharf in these few days. ”

Qin Hanzhen said: "It doesn't matter if it's a few days late, but won't the prefect's yamen say it? In fact, after my cousin got the official position, he went to Wubao's hometown again, and also went to Mizhi to visit relatives, and then accompanied Uncle Hu and them to Shudi and went south along the Yangtze River. It took a few months, right? I took office so late, and I don't know what the prefect would say. When we left, he was a little weird, and now I don't know if it's getting better. ”

Qin Bai smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. He's much calmer now. ”

Can you not be calm? The magistrate of the Jinling prefect was involved in the case of the Jinling Guard's commander who was greedy for ink, and if it weren't for the fact that the family behind the magistrate was very important to the future of his own son and nephew, and he couldn't have offended, he would have been eager to ignore this stupid and greedy guy. He worked hard to recommend people to the positions of real power under his jurisdiction, escorted them all the way, and gave the other party a beautiful resume, but he didn't let the other party drag him back!

The prefect of Jinling has already suffered the loss of Li Yanchao, and he doesn't want to suffer another person's loss. For the sake of the future of his sons and nephews, he chose to shield the magistrate, but in fact he took a big risk. Fortunately, the degree of involvement of this magistrate is not deep, and the evidence of the crime is not very conclusive. Huang Jincheng only needs to stare the main culprit to death, a few little minions, he will not take it seriously. Although the governor's yamen is not pleasing to the eye, it is mainly aimed at the prefect of Jinling himself, and he does not care about the small officials below. The prefect of Jinling saved the person hard, and it seemed that nothing was wrong on his face, but in fact, he was always worried in his heart, for fear that he would be angry at him when he came up.

At such a time, Huang Jincheng sent his henchmen to "monitor" the Jinling prefect according to Zhao Mo's previous idea, and also sent people to inquire about the family of the magistrate, asking them if the prefect was also involved in the commander's corruption case...... Is it the same relationship as his relationship with the magistrate?

Since the magistrate has received the favor of the prefect of Jinling and knows that someone has asked his subordinates for news, he will naturally not hide it from the prefect of Jinling. He didn't know what Li Yanchao was committing in the end, but he knew that it was a taboo of the prefect's yamen. Just in case, he asked the prefect of Jinling for advice. The prefect of Jinling quickly asked if this was Huang Jincheng's person secretly monitoring and investigating him, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Huang Jincheng was still staring at him? Wasn't Li Yanchao's case long gone? Combined with the fact that the magistrate was now involved in the case of the commander, the Jinling prefect regretted it. knew that it would attract Huang Jincheng's attention again, so he didn't care about it. The Tuiguan is also from a family in Beijing, and without him as the chief official to protect him, will he definitely lose his life? When the Tuiguan is escorted back to Beijing, his family will naturally try to save him, and it is better than being targeted by Huang Jincheng again!

However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and the prefect of Jinling only dares to think about it in his heart, and he does not dare to tell the magistrate a word. Since then, he has been much more honest and low-key, and people have become kinder, and he no longer works against the governor's yamen everywhere. Huang Jincheng wanted to investigate any case and ask whom, he was very cooperative, and he became a good man in Jinling officialdom. Don't look at the officials in Jinling who don't talk about it, in fact, they don't know how lively the discussion is. Everyone is wondering, what is the reason for his change of character?

Knowing that the prefect of Jinling had stopped and was no longer yin and yang, Qin Hanzhen was also relieved. From this point of view, even if there is a relationship with Qin Bai, Wu Shaoying should not be embarrassed by his boss after he takes office. She asked Zhao Mo to discuss how to deal with it, and Zhao Mo also specially found Huang Jincheng, isn't this the purpose? Now that her wish has been fulfilled, she is also very happy in her heart.

Wu Shaoying went to Jinling to serve as an official, and the biggest trouble was his boss. Now that this trouble does not exist for the time being, Wu Shaoying's appointment as an official has become a good thing. At least the life here is rich, and with the help of local family connections and officialdom like Huang Jincheng, Wu Shaoying's experience as a government is completely out of the question. After serving a full term, you can be promoted. If Wu Shaoying really follows what Huang Jincheng said, he will be promoted to the position of promotion next year, and his career will undoubtedly be smoother than Qin Hanzhen originally expected.

Qin Hanzhen was happy for his cousin, and Qin Bai and Niu's were also relieved. Niu Shi thought of another one: "It's good that Shaoying can do things in peace and stability in the official mansion, and no one embarrass him, and he will be able to free up his hands to think about his life's affairs! Earlier, I told my sister-in-law Zongfang that I wanted to match Shaoying and her niece, but now I should have time for them to meet, right? Sister-in-law Zongfang should be quite concerned about this matter. As soon as Shaoying's letter came, she immediately took it to see it, and sent someone to the edge of the dock, guarding it every day, waiting for Shaoying's boat to appear. If I can't do it, I'm embarrassed. ”

Qin Bai smiled lightly: "Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on Shaoying's meaning." If he doesn't like it, the family affair will naturally not be done. What are you embarrassed about? Naturally, a major marriage event cannot be difficult for others. ”

Niu Shi snorted: "Where do I have the meaning of being a strong man? It's just that Shaoying should marry a wife, and if he doesn't marry, he will be thirty years old." In a descendant at such an age, who has both a family business and a fame, how can he never marry a wife when he is so old? When I tell people about it, others always suspect that there is something wrong with his health, so he delays starting a family and starting a business. I have to defend myself with others every time, he is in good health, but there is no elder to take care of him, and he is not in a hurry, so he will drag it out until today. But saying it every time is annoying enough. When he can be obedient, marry a virtuous wife, and have a few more children, I will be at ease. ”

Qin Bai couldn't help but shake his head when he heard it.

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but interject: "Grandmother wants to match the eldest girl of the Shen family and her cousin? Grandmother, don't talk too much to Uncle Zongfang's grandmother, if she thinks that you have already decided on this family matter, but your cousin is unwilling to marry Miss Shen in the future, wouldn't it offend your relatives?"

Niu Shi glanced at her with disgust: "How can your cousin be so good that he doesn't want to marry Miss Shen? What's wrong with Miss Shen?"

Qin Hanzhen pouted: "In this era, marrying a wife is not just marrying a woman, but also a large family behind her." Miss Shen doesn't seem to have anything bad, but her father is confused, and her sister-in-law has a bad temper, so this kind of Yue family is not a good choice for her cousin. Even if the Shen family is a famous family in Songjiang, Miss Shen's family is just a side branch after all, and they may not be able to give his cousin any help, but it is very likely to drag him back. Especially now that my cousin is an official in Jinling, Songjiang Mansion is not far away. ”

The Niu family hurriedly went to see Qin Bai, and Qin Bai stroked his beard and nodded: "This is true. The eldest girl of the Shen family and several of her brothers are all good, but her father listens to and believes partially, her sister is not worrying, and there is a concubine who is making trouble. If the family affair is done, Shaoying will respect and be filial to her father-in-law, and she doesn't know if she will suffer. It's better to wait until Shaoying comes and meets the Shen family, and it's not too late for us to discuss this matter. ”

Niu responded a little cowardly. Qin Hanzhen brought up another topic to cheer her up: "Did my father also send a letter? He has settled down in Guangzhou, right? I don't know what the living conditions are like over there, and whether my father can adapt to the water, soil and climate there." I was about to write to him. ”

Qin Bai said with a smile: "Your father has a letter in mid-September, and it is also received by the sect. He has settled down in Guangzhou, and his life is fine, but he is not used to the climate over there, saying that it is very hot and humid, and in the Double Ninth Festival in September, the weather is still very hot, and there are often strong winds on the sea, and the food is also lighter, and there is less pasta, so he is not used to it. After eating rice for half a month, I gradually got used to it. If you want to write to him, just write it, and send it to him when you are done, along with my letter and that of your grandmother. This year, he is going to spend the New Year alone in Guangzhou, I asked people to prepare the specialties of the capital and Jiangnan, and ordered someone to give him a New Year's gift, I am afraid that when he receives it, it is already after the beginning of spring. At that time, I am afraid that we will all set off for Beijing. ”

Qin Han settled down in his heart and said with a smile: "Then I'll write a letter when I turn around." Actually, I've already written some when I'm on the road, and I'll be able to make it up again. I also made him a pair of riding gloves and a pair of thick padded socks, and I don't know if he can use them. Although the climate in Guangdong is warmer than in Jiangnan, the winter is also quite wet and cold......

Niu's most concerned is Brother Qian: "Someone takes care of food and clothing, I am not hungry and freezing, and I have gained weight, and I am with Brother Zhang'er and Brother Qi every day, and I am so happy that I forget about our old family." After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he and his little brothers went to school, and I heard that their homework was not bad, and Mr. praised them several times. Brother Qian can sit still, not as naughty as other children, so he has the best practice of calligraphy, and he can memorize books well, and Mr. teaches him to be extra attentive. Kewen and his wife hurt him now, it hurt him like something, more than their own children. ”

She recited the Buddha: "If they can take care of Brother Qian so well, I can rest assured." ”

Qin Hanzhen waited for her to say this for a long time, and after listening to it, she turned her head to look at Qin Bai, and the grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other tacitly and smiled, but they didn't speak.
