Chapter 19: Family Letters to the Family Taigong Enters He Yuan
At the beginning of February, the second dragon raised its head, this day is a good time for spring ploughing and sowing, birds and flowers are singing everywhere, green mountains and green waters, pavilions are towering, maybe only the palace has this scene. Emperor Jiaqing led the princes and grandsons to worship the temple, and there were important sacrificial ministers such as the emperor's imperial master and the prince's young master. Emperor Jiaqing slowly extended this step up, entered the temple and knelt in front, followed by the princes, grandsons and ministers, facing the remains of the ancestors, remembering the scene when he was a child Qianlong led them to worship the temple, once asked the gentleman next to him, that is, the prince and young master Zhu Qi, and said: "Sir, what are these?" ”
Zhu Jue stretched out his finger and whispered: "Shhh, don't speak loudly in the temple," and then stretched out his finger and said: "This is your grandfather, Emperor Yongzheng of Sejong, this is your grandfather Emperor Kangxi, this is your great-grandfather Emperor Shunzhi, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment to have today's prosperous dynasty, you can take them as an example to become a promising king." ”
"Oh, I see."
Thinking that he was on his side like a gentleman back then, he was always alert to him. Emperor Jiaqing then opened his eyes, looked at the remains of his ancestors and ancestors, and said: "The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, if you really know what to do, then please tell Yan Yan, how to govern this country?" How should the Qing Dynasty go in the future? Yan Yan is already haggard for this energy, but he never dares to slack off in the slightest for political affairs, but the national strength is still weak, disasters continue, the army is sluggish, smoking smoke, and the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army is not as good as before, what should Yan Yan do? Please tell me how to go. ”
The next day, He Jiehao handed in his resignation petition and returned to his hometown, and was allowed by Emperor Jiaqing to take a vacation for more than half a month to settle his family, and then he could leave for Zhejiang to take up his post half a month later. The night was still so quiet, I had to hear the sound of the breeze like a string, He Jiehao sat at the desk and wrote a letter to convey the message to his hometown and family, the candle flame was beating indoors, as dark as light.
Thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains heirlooms, the country voice is difficult to change, the sideburns are declining, and the heart of thinking is difficult to eliminate the bright moon. The night wind and frost have not been returned for a long time, and the fast horse is running at night, and a trace of nostalgia is worth 10,000 gold in this book. Mrs. He sat at home and looked forward to whether He Jiehao, who was far away in the capital, would be well, but who knew that a letter from home could not dispel the family's expectations for this. After receiving a letter from home, the prince opened it, and ordered his subordinates to call his daughter-in-law in his heart, and Mrs. Tai gathered in the hall, looked at Chen Qianyuan and said: "Jiehao's daughter-in-law, Hao'er has made great contributions in the court, the emperor has given Hao'er a mansion, this mansion is in Chengdu, Hao'er asked us to move in, we are about to leave here, when will you visit your father, by the way." ”
After Chen Qianyuan heard the news. smiled and said, "Father, my daughter has no opinion on this, and everything is subject to her father's arrangement." ”
"Well, then tomorrow, you can get up tomorrow, and you go and clean up your salute."
"Daughter's retirement, father, mother, you should rest early, my daughter is here to greet you."
"Daughter, be careful, you go down and rest first."
As soon as the morning dawned, He Jiehao got up and looked at the bonus next to him, the bonus was still asleep sideways, and it was inconvenient to disturb, so he secretly got up and put on an official uniform to enter the court on duty. The adults who stepped into the Hanlin Academy stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to Lord He for his ascension. ”
"There, there, the lower officials are here to handle the handover, and today is the last day on duty."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Lord He is too polite, don't forget about us officials who work together in the future. Look at you, Wen can govern the country, Wu can Anbang, we all take you as a model, take the country as our own responsibility, and we need to rely on Lord He a lot in the future. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is serious, how is the compilation of Qianlong's poetry collection?"
"There are still some political chapters that need to be sorted out, and this will be over after it is sorted out."
"Well, that's the point, the emperor now governs the world with benevolence and filial piety, and the compilation and revision of Qianlong's poetry collection is very helpful for today's holy rulers to govern the country, so can you still worry that you don't have a future?" He Jiehao took out a few Qianlong poetry collections and flipped through them casually, nodded with satisfaction, and said.
"Well, Lord He has a point," the officials nodded after a moment of silence.
"Well, you guys continue to edit, and the lower officials will sort out Qianlong's quotations," the officials sat down in front of the desk and continued to edit, and He Jiehao sat down, holding the brush and dipping it in ink, sorting out the copywriting, and seeing that his handwriting was very neat, it was a bit like willow style.
Whenever I go out far away, I will carry some big bags and small bags, and it just so happened that the princess hired a carriage to save his legs, and carried the big bags and small bags together with the carriage and put them aside. The princess, the princess, and Chen Qianyuan got into the carriage together. Before they left, the villagers from the neighborhood came to say goodbye, some sent baskets of eggs or poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc., and some sent rice wine brewed in their hometown. Taigong stood in front of the carriage and thanked him, "Thank you, thank you, thank you for your warm hospitality," Taigong only then understands what nostalgia is, and nostalgia cannot be forgotten! Because they are plain.
The lieutenant stood in front of the villagers and said with a smile: "Taigong, Jiehao has been a very obedient and good child since he was a child, and the people of our whole village like this child very much, I didn't expect that Jiehao's child would have such a big future when he grew up. ”
"Yes, this is our heart, Taigong, you can accept it."
Taigong reluctantly accepted one of the baskets of eggs and a jar of rice wine, and said: "I'm afraid the carriage is too small, so the old man will accept one or two to convey the hearts of the villagers to Jiehao, thank you, thank you, thank you." The prince stood in front of the carriage and saluted the villagers, and then got into the carriage, and the coachman drove away. The lieutenant chief led the villagers to look at them, and the prince sat in the carriage and lifted the curtains of the carriage next to him, leaned his head back, and shouted, "Fellow villagers, you all go back." ”
The county commander led many officials to stand guard at the gate of the city early in the morning, waiting for the arrival of the prince. The scorching sun was in the sky, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were dripping down one by one. The prefectural commander took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead and continued to look forward. There was a carriage driving faintly towards this place in front, getting closer and closer, slowly stopping in front of the prefectural order, and lifting the curtain of the car. The princess, the princess, and Chen Qianyuan slowly walked out of the carriage and said with a smile: "My father-in-law." The county commander still stood in place, bowed, and got up and said, "Taigong." ”
"You don't have to be polite to your family, you and I are a family."
After the county magistrate got up, he stepped forward and said to Taigong: "Courtesy is also caused, courtesy is also caused," Taigong stepped back and stood next to Mrs. Taigong, and said, "This is my wife." ”
The county magistrate stood in front of the Duchess and said, "Madame." ”
"It's a lot of courtesy."
At this time, Chen Qianyuan ran out from behind them, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Father." ”
"Daughter," the father and daughter hugged each other. The princess and the princess stood aside and laughed happily, and the county order wiped away the tears on Chen Qianyuan's face and said, "Don't cry, good daughters don't cry, they are good to you." ”
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law treat my daughter very well and treat me like my own daughter."
"Uh-huh," Taigong nodded repeatedly.
The county order welcomed the princess, the princess and Chen Qianyuan into the city, entered the mansion and sat in the hall. Chen Qianyuan and Mrs. Taigong entered the back hall under the leadership of Mrs. County Commander to talk, and only the Duke and the county order were left in the front hall, and the subordinates served tea in front of the county order and the princess. The county magistrate took a sip of tea and said, "This is a new tea sent by a friend in the capital entrusted by the official, and the prince will taste it." ”
Taigong picked up the tea, first smelled its fragrance and then tasted it, tasted the taste, and said with a smile: "This tea is fragrant and elegant, there is a trace of sweetness in the throat in the mouth, and there is a kind of coolness, presumably this tea is bamboo leaf green, brewed with spring water in the mountains." ”
The county magistrate laughed and said: "Taigong's reputation in the tea ceremony is well deserved, and he is really a person who understands tea." ”
"There, there, it's just a rough word, and it's praised by my in-laws."
"Taigong needs to stay for a few more days this time, and the official just has a few days of leisure, and no one is talking to him, I don't know what to do with Taigong's intentions?"
"Hao'er has a house in Chengdu that needs to be taken care of by the old man, Hao'er estimates that he will be in Chengdu in the next few days, and in the future...," Taigong was silent for a while and said, "The coming day is long." ”
"Hao'er is a capable talent, he has made great contributions to quelling chaos, he is very valued by the emperor, and he has a bright future in the future, and the official is optimistic about Hao'er."
"The dog is not talented, and the in-laws are so fond of him that he is arrogant."
"It's too public, this official believes that Hao'er will grasp the proportions."
"Then I'll borrow your auspicious words, okay, okay, taste tea," Taigong's heart was as sweet as honey at this time, and he smiled.
"Tea tasting."
At sunset, He Jiehao took some paperwork and walked out of this Hanlin Academy, looking back at the heart of naturally a little reluctant, but in the end he left, walked out of the palace gate and left in the official sedan chair. Back at his mansion, several maids came forward to take off his official uniform and take off his headset. He Jiehao asked the maid, "Why don't you see Madame?" ”
"Back to my lord, my wife is still in the bedroom."
Bonus sat in front of the dresser and didn't just cry for something. He Jiehao gently pushed the door in, sat in front of Hua Hong, looked at Hua Hong's red eyes, and tears were falling in his eyes. He Jiehao said: "Why is Madam crying? ”
"It's okay, it's okay," Hua Hong heard the question next to her, wiped away the tears on both sides, and looked at He Jiehao next to her.
"I know Madame has something on her mind, so why don't you tell me about it?" At this time, He Jiehao was a little anxious, and at the same time worried, he stood up and paced around the room.
Hua Hong looked at He Jiehao with a smile and said, "Husband, the concubine is fine, maybe it's gambling and sadness." Husband, it's not too early, the concubine will sleep with you. ”
"Well, it's not early, ma'am, go to sleep."
