Chapter 270: Entering Beijing
It is advisable to travel on the eighth day of August. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoSince the morning, the ox carts and horse-drawn carts in the garden have been coming and going frequently, and it took three trips to finish pulling things. On the fourth trip, it was the people who returned to the garden.
Pan Yue is the third time that she has walked out of the house after marrying into the Qian family for 14 years. The first time was deceived by Fan Erhei, and the second time was when Qian Yixiu went to the county seat to sell flowers, and she ran out in a hurry to meet her daughter.
Even if it was a carriage, she was very resistant to going out. Qian Manjiang kept holding her hand and comforted her softly, "Yue'er, don't be afraid, my children and I will always be by your side, and there are so many people who have come to protect you, no one dares to bully you anymore." ”
Pan Yue still refused to leave, crying and said, "Yue'er likes this home, and Yue'er doesn't want to leave this home." ”
Qian Manjiang said, "Okay, when the children grow up, we will come back to live and retire here." ”
Qian Yixiu also said, "Mother, if you want to live here, I will accompany you back to live." The transportation here in the capital is convenient, and you can sit directly at the door of your home by boat. ”
When Pan Yue heard this, she trembled and got into the carriage.
This time in Beijing, in addition to all the masters of the third room of the Qian family and the two old men of the Qian family, more than a dozen subordinates, two foreigners, the animal family, and Qian Manxia's family, Qian Manduo's family, Qian Sigui, Qian Manchuan, Qian Manhe, Li Zhandong, plus those sergeants, a total of four medium-sized boats. Two of the Qian family's own boats were also rented.
Li Shuzi is now a petty officer from the seventh rank in the Perak camp, and there is a barracks specially prepared for the families of officers visiting relatives in the barracks. He wanted to let his daughter-in-law and children live for a period of time, and if his daughter-in-law and son were capable and could find a living in the suburbs of Beijing or the capital, then he would rent a yard there and the family would be together for a long time. If the daughter-in-law and son can't find a living, let them go back to Huaxi Village, and life here will be better. Everything in the capital is expensive, and his income is only enough for this family to barely make ends meet, but if you want to live a good life, you can't. Besides, Ah Cai is about to talk about his daughter-in-law, and he has to save a dowry for Ah Cao, which is a big expense.
Li Shuzi has not returned to Li's house in Luliu Village since he returned home, and scolded Boss Li, who came to find him at home. Two days before leaving, he led his daughter-in-law and children to his parents' graves to put incense on them, and then went to the courtyard of Li's house to beat up the lame Li Laoer.
Qian Sigui wanted to go to the capital to see it. He discussed with Qian Manchuan and Qian Manhe, and while going to the capital for a few days, he was looking for business opportunities to see if he could drive dim sum there. If not, go back to your hometown and do what you should do honestly.
Li Zhandong is purely going to learn or study, and then he has to hurry back to his hometown to work hard. He failed the township exam last year, and he desperately hopes to pass the exam the year after. With the help of his cousin, even if he fails to pass the Jinshi exam, he can become an official and a half-position by virtue of his status as a lifter, so that the Li family can change the court.
The relatives of the Qian family and the friends in the village were all sent to Huaxi Wharf, and Zhang Zhongkun and his son, Steward Wang and others came.
Qian Sangui and the others waved goodbye to the people who saw them off in tears, and said, "If we are not used to living in the capital, we and our parents will go back to the countryside to live." The transportation to the capital here is convenient, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, even the two embroidered mothers are reluctant, and they will occasionally come back to live......"
The ship is not big, there are not many cabins, but there are many people. Except for Pan Yang, almost all the masters are two to three people in a room, and the animal house is one for one family. Qian Yixiu took Fang'er, who was already sensible, to live in one room, and Mingwa and Jing'er were taken by the nurse to live in one room. Pan Yue's mood was not very good, Qian Manjiang was still comforting her, and the two of them were alone.
The boat gradually left Huaxi Wharf, and then saw the moonlight of the lotus pond, Huaguo Mountain, Shixi Mountain, Huaxi Village, and Xijing Mountain being gradually left behind, Qian Yixiu couldn't help but wet his eyes. Every inch of this land was so familiar to her, and although the original owner was just six years old when she crossed, she was full of confidence in the road ahead. How much she loves this land, the endless mountains, and the cave pond in the mountains.
But now, although she has grown up, she has a grandmother who is the queen mother, an uncle and grandfather who is the emperor, a father who is an official, a grandfather who is an uncle, a grandfather who is a concubine, and an "elder brother" who is the son of King Ning, but she is still panicked and doesn't know what the future holds.
She wiped her eyes and saw that Brother Monkey had entered the cabin, and he pointed out the window and squeaked, but he was reluctant.
Qian Yixiu said, "Wait, we will come back, there is our root." Even if I marry later, there will be my dowry there. Then he leaned into his ear and said, "There is still the cave pool, and the treasure that has not been taken out, and the white lady, and the little squirrel......
When she said this, she and its hearts were a little better.
The weather was surprisingly good, and there was not a day of heavy rain or wind. Before sunset on the eighth day of the first month, the boat arrived at the Luchun River, five days later, it entered the Beijing Canal again, after thirteen days, at noon on the 27th, the boat successfully arrived at Nanxian in the south of the capital.
Due to the large number of ships, there is a queue to enter the port. And because there were too many nobles in the capital, they waited for two hours before they landed. Old man Qian didn't understand very much, and asked Qian Manjiangdao, "We are relatives of the emperor, and you and your father are both big officials and uncles, why do you want to let those boats behind you add plugs?" ”
Qian Manjiang said with a smile, "The big ships in Gasai include those of the county king's family, the Hou Ye's mansion, and the Shangshu mansion. These people are all related to the royal family, and our Qian family can't afford to mess with them. Ye remembered that there are many nobles in the capital, and there are many royal relatives and relatives, that is, the third-grade officials can be found everywhere, and you must be vigilant when you speak and do things. ”
When the old man Qian heard this, he hurriedly said, "Ye can save it, Ye can save it." ”
Except for Cheng Yue and a pair of children, everyone else came to the deck excitedly. saw that not only Qian Hua and Qian Xiaofeng came to pick them up, but also Qian Xiaolei who served Zhu Sujin, Cui Shopkeeper, who had returned to Beijing, and an old acquaintance who had not seen each other for several years - Uncle Liang.
Uncle Liang was still wearing a three-grade military attache uniform, and he looked like he had come directly from the camp. There was also an acquaintance standing next to him, Liang Gao.
Liang Jinzhao can be said to have become famous in the first war, and now he is a well-known young general of the Great Qian Dynasty. The Thunderbolt Battalion, which he personally created, won the victory with Qi and became the main force to defeat the Great Yuan Kingdom. After returning to the DPRK, the Perak Battalion, which was not favored by everyone at first, was officially incorporated by the imperial court, and firearms such as cannons and guns also officially became the main weapons of the Great Cadre Campaign. These firearms were used not only in land warfare, but also in water warfare. He was named the chief of the Perak camp and became the youngest military attache of the third rank in the entire Great Qian Dynasty.
Originally, the emperor wanted to give him a knighthood, but he was resigned by the three generations of the Liang family. It is said that the scene of the resignation was extremely touching, and in the Jinluan Palace, Liang Laoguogong, Liang Deputy Commander, and Liang Jinzhao's ancestors and grandsons knelt together to ask the emperor to take back his fate, saying that the Liang family had already suffered too much from the royal family, and they could not afford it anymore. Speaking of the emperor's grace, Liang Laoguo was so moved that he cried bitterly, and in the end, the emperor only took back his life with tears.
Uncle Liang, who is in a hurry as a teenager, doesn't seem to have changed much in recent years. He didn't continue to grow taller, but his shoulders were wider. There is no major change in facial features, but it is more resolute than before, and the skin has become wheat-colored. Also, the temperament of the whole person seems to be more calm.
When he saw the boat approaching, and then saw the little girl who had grown into a picturesque girl, he immediately smiled brightly, as if the young man who looked anxious a few years ago had returned.
Seeing him, Qian Yixiu suddenly felt that time hadn't been long.
Qian Manjiang saw him coming, but his brows furrowed slightly. He had admired this young man and felt that although he was born into a family, he was motivated. The two of them talked very well when they were at the border, and they often drank with a few other colleagues who played well.
Among these good brothers, except for Liang Jinzhao, everyone else has been married. The men in the barracks love to think about those things, and the men who don't know if they will live tomorrow love to think about those things even more. Therefore, as soon as they drank too much, they would tell about it, that is, what happened to their daughter-in-law or concubine at home. He remembered that he had drunk high, and he seemed to have said that his daughter-in-law was very useful.
Liang Jinzhao doesn't tell these jokes, he only blushes and laughs when he listens. They jokingly called him a chick and said they would teach him a few tricks.
Later, the old father said in a letter to his family that he had verbally promised Xiu'er to him as a daughter-in-law, and Qian Manjiang felt a little conflicted in his heart. The comrade who has always been a chief and a brother wants to be his son-in-law, even if he thinks he is good, he is always a little uncomfortable. Especially when I think about the jokes that are often said, it is even more embarrassing.
After that, as long as there was an occasion for Liang Jinzhao, he was reluctant to go. One is to end the shelf, and the other is a little resistant in my heart, embarrassed.
Liang Jinzhao was the first to get on the boat, and then several other people also got on the boat. They greeted the Qian family and Pan Yang and Wan Dazhong in turn, and Pan Xiao, the third master of Pan Mansion, also came, and there was also a chamberlain Li Gonggong of Cining Palace.
Everyone exchanged a few words, and Qian Manjiang entered the cabin and led Pan Yue out. Pan Yang told them to stay away from Pan Yue again, and now Pan Yue is a little afraid of seeing outsiders.
Gonggong Li was waiting for Xiao Pan Yue, who went to Cining Palace to play, and he stomped on Pan Yue from a distance, and he cried excitedly. said softly, "The county lord of Zhenyue, whom the Queen Mother talks about every day, has finally returned. It's strange, fourteen years have passed, and three more children have been born, and the county lord still looks like a teenage girl. ”
Liang Jinzhao took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention to them, and talked to Qian Yixiu on the side, "Xiu'er has changed really much, and in a blink of an eye, the little girl has grown into a big girl." ”
Qian Yixiu is not as embarrassed as an ancient woman, she smiled, "General Liang has changed a lot, in three years, he has become a general from a soldier, and the eight hundred miles of urgency is not as fast as you." ”
Liang Jinzhao laughed a few times, and every time he talked to her, it was refreshing.
Everyone got off the boat in turn, got into the carriage, rushed into the capital before sunset, and walked for more than half an hour before arriving at the Xiangenbo Mansion. Wanjia has to go further, and they will say goodbye.
Liang Jinzhao and other outsiders sent them to the door of their homes, and they couldn't make trouble here anymore, so they all left.
Old Man Qian, Qian Sangui and Pan Yue were all tired, and Jing'er and Mingwa had already fallen asleep. After everyone had washed up, had a brief meal, and went to rest.
Qian Yixiu did not have this blessing, she and Qian Manjiang sat in the hall of the outer courtyard together, ready to meet the middle and senior directors of this family.
Qian Yixiu had already read the drawings drawn by Qian Manjiang and already had a certain understanding of this family. This is a four-entry mansion, which is the home of a former criminal minister. It has been vacant for a few years, and it is nominally the township Enbo Mansion given by the emperor. In fact, it was the queen mother who asked the emperor for a special gift for her granddaughter's life.
As soon as the courtyard was given, Grandpa Pan sent someone to repair it, and the people of King Ning's Mansion would often send people to take a look. Grandpa Pan is both elegant and luxurious, and has a lot of money, plus he wants to make up for the guilt of his daughter for so many years, and he has worked hard to clean up the house, which is really like money.
Even in the dim starlight, you can see how delicate and magnificent the scenery in this courtyard is.
Entering the main hall of the outer courtyard dedicated to receiving guests, it is even more rich and gorgeous. The hall house is about forty square meters, and the first to see a red gold Kowloon green land plaque, the plaque is written with three big characters of Douda, it is "Xiangen Hall". On the carved case of long red sandalwood, there is a green bronze tripod, hanging a big painting of the tiger descending the mountain, on one side is the golden dragon, on the other side is the glazed sea.
In front of the long table is a carved jade inlaid red sandalwood eight immortal table, and on both sides of the table are two red sandalwood official chairs. There are 16 Nanmu circle chairs on the ground, and there are crimson embroidered satin chair cushions on them. On each side of the wall are four long, single-opening paintings, respectively depicting Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other figures of the Three Kingdoms period. The ground is covered with a velvet carpet from the Western Regions, and three glazed palace lamps hang down from the top.
Qian Manjiang and Qian Yixiu sat on both sides of the Eight Immortals table.
Qian Manjiang had already explained to Qian Yixiu that because of Cheng Yue's situation, the Wu family was a country woman who didn't understand many things, and she would be responsible for many things in the inner courtyard of the family in the future.
Qian Yixiu is very impatient with what is not fed in these yards, and she is even more unwilling to be bound between these square inches for the rest of her life, her heart is outside the yard......
However, the family situation is special, and now it is indeed up to her to take care of it for the time being. After straightening it out later, she will slowly teach Wu and find a competent person to assist her. Perhaps, the little lady's illness can be completely cured, and it is not impossible for her housekeeper to be cured after recovery.
The people in the house were basically complete, some people were bought, and more than 20 old people who had served Pan Yue were also sent over. The new buyers were trained by the old man, and now they are able to perform their own duties.
For many times on the ship, Qian Manjiang was discussing personnel arrangements with Qian Yixiu.
Employing people, whether in modern or ancient times, whether in public or private, is the most important.
The chief housekeeper of the Qian Mansion is called Wang Shou, who is the man of Pan Yue's nurse, and her nurse was in the same car with her, and was washed into the mountains by the flood, and the bones of the wild beasts were incomplete.
Wang Shou was nearly fifty years old, and after his daughter-in-law had an accident with the county lord, he continued to work in Rong Enbo's Mansion and became the second housekeeper.
Qian Yixiu recognizes this person. If he can be the second housekeeper of the Rong Enbo Mansion, he must be capable. He is Pan Yue's daddy, and he has the trust of Pan Yuma and Pan Yang, so he should be trustworthy.
