In the past twenty days, Duan Jiqing was so busy that he was dizzy.

The official affairs of the government can not be delayed, and which sages are invited to enter the Xiangxian Temple of the Chongqing Hall in the capital, although he is soft-spoken and can't talk nonsense, but he must also participate in the whole process, otherwise the officials and masters of the fourteen prefectures and counties will know that it is his Duan Jiqing's fast son-in-law who is presiding over the renovation of the hall.

But no matter how busy you are, you have to hug your little grandson before going to the government every morning, and no matter how busy you are every night, you have to hug your little grandson first, and then go home to rest.

Seeing that the little grandson was about to be full moon, he really lacked skills, and he didn't worry about the little one, so he simply asked people to send letters to the eldest son-in-law and eldest daughter, and asked the eldest son-in-law to come over to help handle the full moon wine, and let the eldest daughter come over to help take care of the younger daughter for a few days, and by the way, invite the in-laws to come to eat the full moon wine in a few days.

The Yang family and Liu Ju's family both live in Jiangbei Hall, the old lady Liu is sick, and the rich man Yang often visits the Liu family for the sake of the guitar, and more than once I heard Liu Juren mention Han Si's affairs in the capital, Liu Juren began to say that he thought it was a kind word to have a brotherly relationship with Han Si, until he found out that Liu Juren always sent people to Han Si's house to send gifts, and Yang realized that Han Si was really developed.

As soon as he received the letter from Duan Jiqing's trustee, he immediately prepared a generous gift and came with his son and daughter-in-law.

Duan Jiqing didn't expect him to come early, and hurriedly asked his wife to go home to clean up the guest room, and asked Aunt Guan, who had been helping at his daughter's house these days, and Aunt Wang next door to hurry up to the street to buy some wine and food, and then asked the younger sister to take the little grandson out for the in-laws and eldest son-in-law to take a look, and then beckoned the in-laws and eldest son-in-law to sit down and drink tea.

"The two days after the baby was born really frightened me, Qin'er didn't have enough milk, the baby couldn't eat enough, so it was so big that people still had a mouth, and they didn't drink a mouthful of rice soup, and finally drank a mouthful and spit it out."

"What happened later?"

"It is said that the distance is not as good as the neighbors, this time thanks to Aunt Wang next door, her sister-in-law happened to give birth to a baby, and the baby with a lot of milk can't eat it, seeing that my baby can't eat enough to cry all day, even Qin'er is crying urgently, so I helped take her sister-in-law from the countryside to the city, and lived in her house. Sometimes I came over to help feed it, and sometimes my wife and my sister brought the baby over to feed it. Duan Jiqing took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "We can't let people help people in vain, and give people two taels of silver a month." Pig's trotter soup, belly and lung soup, crucian carp soup, and old hen soup are either not stewed, but stewed in two parts. ”

Rich Yang nodded: "It should be, it should be, after all, it eats other people's milk." ”

Yang Xingming's heart was sour, feeling that the old man was far better to the younger daughter than the eldest daughter, and to Han Si's baby was far better than to his Yang Xingming's two babies.

Duan Jiqing is so shrewd, how can he not see that the eldest son-in-law is not interested, holding the tea bowl and saying quietly: "In-laws, Xingming, Zhixing is far away in the capital, his father is old and his legs are inconvenient, and he asked someone to carry a letter a few days ago and said that he couldn't come." His eldest brother would have come, but he didn't even dare to say a word when he came, so he couldn't help much. Han Jia Tianding is such a big thing, we don't help to handle it, who will help handle it, don't you say? ”

Rich Yang also saw that his son didn't seem to be very concerned, so he hurriedly raised his leg and kicked his son under the table, and then smiled: "Yes, yes, my in-laws are right, we have to help Zhixing support this face no matter what!" ”

"In-laws, this is the opposite," Duan Jiqing put down the tea bowl and knocked on the table: "Zhixing is not only an official now, but also the head of our Chongqing Mansion's guild hall in the capital, and all the people I deal with every day are high-ranking officials and nobles!" Master Ji of the Hanlin Academy, Master Ji Shiao of the Hanlin Academy, and other Beijing officials such as the master of the Criminal Department Wailangjiang do not know how much attention is paid to him, and one of the masters who entered Beijing to take the exam has received all of his favors, and I don't know how grateful he is, so now it is not us who is supporting Zhixing, but Zhixing is helping us save face! ”

Rich Yang sighed sincerely: "I heard Liu Juren say that I knew that Zhixing was promising, but I didn't expect him to be so promising, and as soon as he arrived in the capital, he did the first thing in the guild hall." ”

"In-laws, there are a lot of things you don't know, I want to talk about the right thing today, and I'll talk to you again tomorrow when I'm free."

"Yes, yes, let's get down to business first."

Duan Jiqing glanced at his eldest son-in-law, and said slowly: "I originally planned to make the baby's full moon wine simpler, but I planned to invite these relatives in the family and those elders who are in the county government, government office, and provincial office to set up three or four tables, but as soon as Master Gu heard that the Han family had Tianding and Zhixing, he was going to come to eat the full moon wine." ”

Rich Lord Yang asked in surprise: "Master Gu of Chaijia Lane?" ”

"Exactly." Duan Jiqing nodded proudly, and continued: "The Bao Ju people of Rongchang County and Liu Juren of your Jiangbei Hall are friends with Zhixing for eight worships, not only did they send their families to send congratulatory gifts early, but they also asked their families to bring me a letter, saying that they would definitely arrive on the day of Zhixing's baby full moon. ”

"Master Gu is the master of Hanlin, one master of Hanlin and two masters of lifting people came all of a sudden, this face is really big, the baby of Zhixing is really a rich life!"

"Two old men, in-laws, what are you kidding?"

"More than that?"

Duan Jiqing looked at their father and son with a smile, and said with his fingers crossed: "Rongchang Ao family sent someone to send the portrait of the ancestors of the Ao family to the capital half a month ago, and sent a thank you gift of one hundred taels of silver by the way when passing through Ba County. The family originally planned to leave the thank you gift, but it turned out that Qin'er was born, and after the ambition, they hurriedly asked someone to carry a letter to the family. The day before yesterday, the elder of the Ao family sent a letter to him, saying that Master Ao would personally come to congratulate him, and he would go to Chengdu after eating the full moon wine here. ”

"Rongchang Ao family, Ao Ban County?"

"It is the Rongchang Ao family of two jinshi." Duan Jiqing smiled, and continued: "Didn't Zhixing renovate the guild hall in the capital, in fact, he was not only renovating and expanding the guild hall, but also building the Wenchang Pavilion and the Xiangxian Temple. I don't know if you have heard of the long-lived Zhenwei General's Mansion, and the Zhenwei General's Mansion also sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, and someone will come to eat and drink on the day of the baby's full moon. ”

"General Zhenwei's Mansion, I really haven't heard of this."

"In-laws, why haven't you even heard of General Hu Chaohu! Speaking of which, although Master Hu is not a member of the imperial examination, he is also a legend in our Chongqing Prefecture. Unfortunately, his parents died when he was young, his family was poor, and he became a beggar and was forced to join the Green Battalion to join the army. The strength is incomparable, and he is good at making eighty pounds of big knives, and he accumulated merit to the Dachang camp during the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect, and then rose all the way.

He has served as the garrison of the Youyang Battalion, the Wushan Battalion Division, the Chongqing Youying Division of Chongqing Town, and the Jingzhou Battalion Division of Shaanxi Province, attacking and suppressing the Tianli Sect bandits in Shaanxi and Henan and other places. ”

Yang Caizhu usually only cares about the harvest in the field, whether the land rent can be collected, where do you know this, and subconsciously asks: "What happened later?" ”

Duan Jiqing, as the manager of the military room of the government office, handles all military affairs every day, I don't know if these are not possible, not to mention that he just received the benefits of the descendants of the Hu family not long ago, and said with a smile on his eyebrows: "Later, General Hu went to Xinjiang, captured the rebel chief Zhang Ge, gave a banquet with merit, painted a portrait of Ziguang Pavilion, named General Zhenwei, and gave him a python robe. Later, he was appointed as the governor of Gansu, but unfortunately because of the rebellion in Xining, the reinforcement was not effective, and the old general Rong Ma's life was not easy, so he simply returned to the field after being relieved of illness, and Daoguang went to the twenty-ninth year of immortality. What about those who are born in the army, as long as they can make meritorious contributions, they can also enter the ancestral hall of the township! ”
