Chapter 337, the past in Beijing

Finally settled Cousin Jinhua and entrusted it to a trustworthy person, Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

I hope my cousin can really become smart and sensible, if she is in peace, with her qualifications, in the capital to find a family that matches the family to marry, it is not a difficult thing, I am afraid that she will not obey her own arrangement, even if she is a concubine, she has to enter a rich family, if so, let her go, she can't tie someone to the sedan chair, but she has to be entrusted by her uncle.

After the husband and wife met, they sat in the same carriage but were relatively silent. This time, except for the burden of Cousin Jinhua, Guining is generally very pleasant, but where should they go after they come back?

They don't want to go back to the county lord's mansion, why should they be idle by the county lord of Anyang? The Xie family doesn't want to go back, the old lady's shrewdness and meanness can be tolerated, the last thing they want to see is the ugly face of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, even if he really relents, Changsheng can't bear to bow his head every day and not look up.

Mingjing said guiltily: "I'm sorry, it's all because my husband is incompetent and can't let you live a good life." I still have some silver taels on me, enough for us to spend for a while, otherwise we won't go home first, and we won't go to the county lord's mansion, let's go to the inn for a few days, and have a good time in Beijing before deciding, okay? You haven't done a good shopping yet, so take this opportunity to let me compensate you well, it's not so easy to come out when you really get home."

Changsheng smiled helplessly, the two of them don't go home to the inn, they will have a good time for a few days before going home, it sounds good, is it possible to do that? If you play everywhere, it will definitely reach the ears of the old lady, so what has happened? has a mother-in-law at home, but Guining came back but didn't go home to tell the elders, he actually lived in the inn and was at ease, do you want a clear future?

A man cannot live without a career, in any era. In this era of clear distinction between scholars and nobles, officials and businessmen, a man's best career is to be an official and be promoted all the way, and this promotion does not have to rely on real talent, but family background, fame, reputation and connections are more important, even if there is talent and outstanding, it is also inseparable from good fame and reputation, and the word "unfilial piety" is enough to ruin Mingjing's future.

At that time, the two of them really had to rely on others, maybe for the rest of their lives, so they couldn't bear to make a big plan.

Afraid that Mingjing would blame himself too much, Changsheng deliberately smiled and said: "This proposal is very good, it even wins my heart, but I miss Shu'er, this walk is more than a month, I really miss her, although there is nothing uneasy about having a big brother, but I just miss her, and I can only relax when I see her with my own eyes."

Well, let's go to the county lord's mansion to meet Shu'er first, the eldest brother and the county lord are the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and Gui Ning should come back to visit them, just give them the return gift. I also bought a lot of gadgets for Shu'er along the way, she must be very happy to see it, we go now, just in time for lunch, it's too late to rush back to Wugong County after eating, just live in the county lord's mansion ****, and go back tomorrow morning, what do you think? ”

Mingjing knew that this was the only way at the moment, so he nodded and agreed, but still said guiltily: "I know you don't like the county lord of Anyang, and I don't like her either, I can't avoid her idleness when I go, but I can't go if I don't go, and Shu'er, I miss her too, it's really embarrassing."

Changsheng smiled: "It's okay, I won't be angry with irrelevant people." She's always the eldest sister-in-law, I'll just be careful with my own etiquette, she's unreasonable because she's not educated, as long as she doesn't dislike losing her identity, just go with her, it's always just ****. I really want to see Shu'er as soon as possible, and I'm willing to be a little idle for her. ”

Mingjing nodded, hugged her tightly and said nothing, there was a return gift in the car, and there was no need to buy anything, so he ordered Mo'er and Ding San to go to the Anyang County Lord's Mansion together.

The East Sanfang next to the Suzaku Street of the Anyang County Lord's Mansion is located, the whole street is full of the gate of the Vermilion Lacquer Heavy Building, the courtyard and pavilion are connected in the high red brick wall, the street is all paved with bluestone slabs, it is smooth and clean, there are almost no idle people coming and going, even small merchants and hawkers are rare, the powerful people gather here, the royal family is especially many, the people who live here are all extraordinary, and the house and the mansion are almost all given by the emperor.

Before the Xie family raided the house, there was Beppu in the West Three Fangs, not far from here, although it was also a gathering place for rich and noble families, but the status could not be compared with the East Three Fangs. Changsheng just applied for a job and Mingjing left Jin and returned to Beijing together, and lived in Beppu ****, the two traveled to Chang'an at night together, Mingjing also invited her to eat at the famous Burning Tail Building, Changsheng still clearly remembers that in the process of waiting for food, the two leaned against the window together to watch the night scene.

In fact, it was only less than two years, but it seemed that a long time had passed, and I still remember that night when the cold moon was like a hook, the outline of the pavilion in Chang'an could be faintly seen, and the front of the street store was full of strings of red lanterns. It was from that **** that Changsheng had a real understanding and trust in Mingjing, who seemed willful and naïve on the surface, and had experienced vicissitudes in his heart, maybe the love was planted from that night.

The car could have passed without passing through Xisanfang, but Mingjing ordered Ding San to detour to Xisanfang to go to the county lord's mansion, Changsheng knew that he was a nostalgic person, not to mention that there was still time to stop him.

The West Three Houses are still clean and quiet, compared to the East Three Houses, there are occasionally hawkers and idlers who carry the carts passing by, Ming Jing and Changsheng did not get out of the car, only made the car slow down, opened the curtain to see, the black door plaque has been taken off and I don't know where to throw it, the dusty red lacquer door is pasted with a seal, the white paper stamped with the vermilion seal of the government has rotted, it is light in the wind, the gatehouse is full of cobwebs, there are still rough servants of the official family under the stone steps, it is all thick dust, just over a year, weeds have grown in the cracks, It seems to be indescribably desolate and dilapidated, and it really does not match the wealth and opulence of the whole street, and all the people rush here as if they are unlucky.

Changsheng sighed softly, although this Beppu is not wider and gorgeous than the county uncle's mansion, but it is better in exquisite and comfortable scenery, pavilions and every courtyard are all alone with ingenuity, and the location is quiet, it is a rare good house, Changsheng only lives **** and likes it very much.

This place was carefully purchased by Mingjing's father, just so that the family had a place to settle down when they entered Beijing, but it was also copied along with the county uncle's mansion, and I don't know what it was ruined into.

The car drove slowly, Mingjing looked at the red brick wall greedily and uncomfortably, and said to Shang Changsheng's comforting gaze: "When my father was alive, my eldest brother was away for a long time, and he was afraid that I would not be able to see it in the small Wugong County, and he was afraid that I would be robbed of my courage since I was a child under the majesty of the old lady, so he often took me and the Ming and Qing dynasties to live in Chang'an to socialize, and took us to visit famous teachers.

It's a pity that my father never brought my aunt with me in order to save the old lady's face, although I live here happily, I miss my aunt very much, and I want to go back to see it after living for a while. After my father's death, due to the old lady's control, I rarely came, and I liked it more than the county uncle's house, but it was a pity that my father's hard work. ”

There were tears in Mingjing's eyes, and he couldn't bear it, and whispered: "Although this place is sealed, it is better than giving it to other families, as long as it doesn't belong to others, we have a chance, don't we?" ”

Mingjing smiled: "You are really comforting, and it will go to my heart all of a sudden." Don't worry, I can think about it, it's just touching the scene. ”

Changsheng nodded, leaned on his shoulder and said nothing, letting the car slowly drive towards the county lord's mansion.
