Chapter 419: Family Matters
The snow was falling heavily in the capital, and the strong wind was howling, hitting the faces of passers-by with fluttering snowflakes.
Although there was no rainstorm and lightning, this year's limelight was the strongest, and Qian Yuan, a new science and technology scholar who was valued by many important ministers and elders in the DPRK and the central government, was transferred from the Hanlin Academy to the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, which caused an uproar in Beijing like a thunderbolt.
Most people think that Qian Yuan is too stupid, a young official who is in the heart of the emperor and goes in and out of King Yu's mansion, as long as he can survive, he will inevitably have a bright future in the future, and he is extremely bright.
But there are also many people who admire Qian Yuan, no matter from which point of view, Qian Yuan does not need to do this, but he still insists on it, and the sentence in the Wanshou Palace, "Although he has died nine times, he still has no regrets" has spread all over Beijing.
There are also imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who know that it was Qian Yuan who robbed Wang Bengu's way, but they also have to admit that Qian Yuan is more suitable for this position than Wang Bengu.
The reason why the Metropolitan Procuratorate elected Wang Bengu was, on the one hand, because of the game between the DPRK and China, and on the other hand, because Wang Bengu patrolled Shaanxi and had outstanding performance in armaments.
But how can these be compared with Qian Yuan, as early as when he was just a showman, Qian Yuan was famous in the government and the opposition for the three battles of Jiading, Chongde, and Linpingshan, and then turned the tide with the body of a jinshi, and the two great victories in Changshui Town and Tongxiang made many people compare them with Wang Yue and Yang Yiqing.
There is even more praise in the Hanlin Academy, not to mention Xu Wei, Sun Yan, Tao Dalin, these scholars who follow the garden, and Pan Sheng, who has half a body into the garden, and even Li Chunfang and Yan Ne, who are highly qualified and specialize in writing green words, also have a lot of praise.
Even Yuan Wei, who had never been pleasing to the eye and had several quarrels with Xu Wei, pinched his nose and sang praises to Qian Yuan...... No way, he is a native of Cixi, Ningbo, one of the most affected areas in the southeast.
In the garden, there was a scene of chaos, Yang Wen and the guards were cleaning up, and there were a lot of things to bring this time, and there was a section of canal to the south of Tongzhou that was frozen in winter, and the group needed to go south by land to find a chance to take a boat again.
"Okay, uncle, it's too much to be careful of provoking horse bandits, it's not peaceful in Shandong." Qian Yuan couldn't help but persuade the Lu family.
"The illness is just right to go south again, and I have left the Hanlin Academy, but it is still at this time!" Lu raised his hand and wanted to pinch Qian Yuan's ears, but he thought of so many subordinates.
"It's December, what if it's blocked along the way, and it's not ready for the New Year in the field, what should I do then?"
"I also want to give your mother some gifts, by the way, this is the talisman I asked for a few days ago, let Xiao Qi hang it up, and keep it in one fell swoop!"
Babbling ...... Qian Yuan couldn't hold it anymore, but fortunately, Liu Hong rescued him at this time.
"Huh?" Qian Yuan took the letter and glanced at it a few times, immediately put it in his sleeve, and smiled at Lu: "Mother sent a letter, asking me if I want to go back to Taizhou for the New Year." ”
"Then don't go back, I'll leave tomorrow anyway." Lu Shi looked left and right, and instructed the servants and maids to go to the warehouse to bring out some northern specialties, "Yuan'er, you go over there." ”
Qian Yuan swallowed, "Uncle, I'll stay and help......"
"You also want you to do these things, and what do you want them to do as guards?"
After a few words back and forth, Qian Yuan had to walk along the corridor to the courtyard of Qian Zheng and his wife, because he really didn't want to go...... Lu Shusheng, the old man came early this morning.
There are three kinds of people in Beijing who openly praise Qian Yuan's unparalleled integrity, one is a southeastern person, the second is a young official, and the third is a very orthodox scholar.
Lu Shusheng is the third type, but unfortunately the orthodox scholar can't see Qian Yuan and Huang Jin, Feng Bao, and Yan Shifan hooking up and back.
As soon as he entered the door, Qian Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and saluted one by one.
In addition to Lu Shusheng and Qian Zheng, the son-in-law, there is also a guest, Lu Shusheng can't teach me a lesson in front of the guest...... Qian Yuan smiled and saluted: "Juniors pay a visit to Wanghu Gong." ”
The person who came was Xu She, and this was Qian Yuan's first contact with the Xu Mansion after entering Beijing...... Xu Fan last night didn't mean anything.
Before chatting a few words, Qian Zheng got up and invited everyone to eat in the side hall, although there were only four people, the food sent from the small kitchen of the garden, although it was winter, was also very exquisite, and it was accompanied by a small pot of high liquor.
After three rounds of drinking, Xu Shi casually asked about his niece and granddaughter, Lu Shusheng kept silent with a dark face, he was very dissatisfied with this marriage.
"Really!" Qian Yuan's face did not change and his heart did not beat and gave a thumbs up, "Not only is he proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, but he is also proficient in female celebrity cooking, but she also has a quiet and gentle temperament, she gets along very well with her sister-in-law and little sister, and she is as harmonious as a mother and daughter!" ”
Lu Shusheng didn't know anything, but it was okay to say, Qian Zheng thought of the female red gift given by his nephew and daughter-in-law on the second day of marriage...... There is no reason why you can't practice well every day in your mother's house, and you can become a teacher after half a year after marrying a talent.
And Xu Shi could only smile back with an embarrassed smile, and Shujing was gentle...... Is this kind of word hooked with Xiao Qi?
As soon as I arrived in the capital, I ran all over the yard, and I still wanted to learn martial arts, running around the garden every morning, and I lost the face of the Xu family when I said it, not to mention colluding with my foreign man to escape from the Xu family, and my aunt is still crying every day.
The smile on Qian Yuan's face gradually became a little stiff, it seems that everyone doesn't believe it...... Also, I blown it a little too much.
The letter in the sleeve was ghostwritten by her brother-in-law Tan Lun, and her mother was fierce, and she had completely fallen out with Xiao Qi, and kept saying that she wanted her son to come back and divorce his wife, and she had to call Xu Mansion to ask what was going on...... Are you married or feuded!
It was Xu Shi who pulled the topic away and asked with a smile about Qian Yuan's trip to the Metropolitan Procuratorate today, but Qian Yuan casually dealt with it and talked about the victory in Tongxiang.
Xu Shi praised a few words and asked about Wu Baipeng, the governor of Zhejiang, and Qian Yuan said a few words and said that the Qian family restaurant could not make ends meet......
After a few back and forth, seeing that the meal was finished, Xu Shi had to sigh and said, "Is there a gap between Zhancai and the people? ”
Qian Yuan's sigh was even heavier, "If there is a gap, it will be avoided that day." ”
Xu Shi nodded slightly, Zhang Juzheng took Wang Bengu to visit, and when he came back, he said that everything was going well, and Qian Yuan knew everything and said everything.
"To put it mildly, the southeast rebellion has involved the imperial court for several years, and the government and the central government are very short of money, and they are really unable to support it for too long."
"To Dali, the southeast is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and it is more related to the future direction of the court, so we should be cautious."
Qian Yuan said eloquently: "From the Hanlin Academy to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, isn't it me Qian Zhancai who is most wronged?" ”
"The DPRK and China have already made a decision, if it is not related to the overall situation, why should I, Qian Zhancai, be so aggrieved?"
Xu She's eyebrows raised slightly, and the DPRK and China have already made a conclusion...... This is to say that Yan Song and Xu Jie have a tacit understanding, allowing Xu Jie to meddle in the southeast, and leaving a Zhejiang patrol for him.
Seeing that Xu Shi was still talking, Qian Yuan smiled and said, "By the way, my father-in-law may have drunk too much in the restaurant last night, and asked for a lot of dishes, but I didn't pay the money......"
"Ahem, ahem!" Qian Zheng couldn't help but cough vigorously twice.
Xu Shi didn't care, he knew that Qian Yuan couldn't look down on Xu Fan, and secondly, he just gagged himself, and didn't want these words to continue.
"Hey, Fan'er has a shallow amount of wine, but it's a good wine, how much silver."
Qian Yuan said casually: "One thousand eight hundred and thirty-two twenty-six dollars." ”
This time, Xu Shi and Lu Shusheng couldn't help coughing, it's too nonsense!
Qian Yuan shrugged indifferently, just this number, not much at all, not much at all.
This bit of silver is a drop in the bucket for the Xu family, and the Xu family has enclosed more than 100,000 hectares of land near Huating alone.
