[158] Go home for the New Year
Looking at the eager look on Zhao Ji's face, Zhou Yi was very helpless, and said: "Your Majesty, the road has to be walked little by little, and the food has to be eaten one bite at a time, let's come little by little, do it slowly, it will always get better." Three years, it only takes three years, and Wechen is sure to triple the country's tax revenue and recover five more states. As long as the emperor can allow Weichen to act. Since ancient times, reform has been accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice, but for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, the minister is not afraid of bloodshed, nor is he afraid of sacrifice. ”
On his face, tears welled up, and his expression was sad and indignant, which was very touching.
Zhao Ji was also infected by this emotion, and he said: "Hey, if other officials can have you like you-no, as long as you have half of your ability, why don't the entire Great Song Dynasty be unhappy?" ”
"The emperor must not say that, Weichen is just doing his part."
The two chatted for a long time, and it wasn't until the second watch outside that Zhao Ji reluctantly left, until Zhao Ji's back disappeared at the door, Zhou Yi looked at the gold medal in his hand, and finally cried, Zhao Ji, you old bastard, don't take you so bad. You are a good leader, Lao Tzu is tired and tired below, you give me this thing......
Tang Huan came out, Zhou Yi hugged her all of a sudden, and said, "Hey, my little liver, my little baby, your man and my life are so miserable, you hurry up and comfort me with your fragrant body." ”
"Go, go, it's not in shape, and I slept like a pig just now, and now I'm interested? Go to sleep, don't keep thinking about problems with your lower body, be careful of waste. ”
Zhao Ji came to Zhou Yi and everyone didn't seem to know. Anyway, Zhou Yi didn't notice any movement. It's just the third day. Zhao Ji suddenly made a holy decree and stopped the Huashi Gang, and the construction of Shoushan had been completed in a small part, but it was also stopped.
This news made most of the people feel very happy, and these people basically didn't get any benefits from the Huashi Gang. And those who get the benefits are trying to persuade Zhao Ji to continue, for example, Shoushan has already completed half of it and can't give up halfway, for example, can't let the previous efforts go to waste, such as ......
But in Zhao Ji's mind, the story that Zhou Yi said still came to mind. No matter what these people say, he resolutely refuses to let go.
Besides, Zhou Yi, during this time in the capital, he can be regarded as not going out of the door, and no one is turned away from seeing him, and the purpose of these people's coming Zhou Yi knows even if he thinks about it with his hair, so he can't be polite to them, Zhou Yi is also open, since he wants to do it, he will do it.
After a few days, the excitement of the pilgrimage gradually dissipated. Those officials from other places also began to go back, and Zhou Yi was also preparing to leave. When the day rises. Zhou Yi said to Tang Huan: "Let's go, I'll take you home." ”
Tang Huan was shocked and said, "Aren't you not going back?" ”
"You are my woman, of course you have to go back with me, I said that even if you are an ugly daughter-in-law, you have to see your in-laws, not to mention that you are not ugly, as for the rest, you don't have to worry, whoever dares to chew his tongue will let him have no tongue." Zhou Yi said domineeringly.
Tang Huan smiled happily, she said: "Being able to meet Zhou Lang is the greatest luck in my life. ”
Zhou Yi said: "You are my greatest happiness." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled. Zhou Yi pinched Tang Huan's ass and said, "Okay, let's go and prepare, let's set off at noon." ”
After the debriefing, Zhou Yi did not choose to return to Zhending Mansion directly, he suddenly felt that his current head was on his neck, and he couldn't tell when he would move.
Qingshen County, I don't know when the news of Zhou Yi's coming back has spread, and the whole county is immersed in a happy atmosphere, which seems to release the excitement of the New Year in advance.
Zhou Yi seemed to feel the excitement when he was the champion before, no, it was much more lively than that, he and Tang Huan were sitting in the carriage, Rao was like this, there were so many people waiting on the side of the road, Zhou Yi looked at their appearance, and instantly remembered in his mind that when Emperor Qianlong took Xiaoyanzi on a trip when he got Xiaoyanzi in "Huanzhu Gege", he was almost a troublemaker.
Zhou Yi was eager to go home, so he refused all the receptions along the way, and soon arrived in Qingshen County. The county order is still that Su Jiaming, which makes Zhou Yi feel strange, isn't the general term of office assessed for three years? Even if he is not promoted, he will be transferred, why is this Su Jiaming not moving at all.
But this is just a casual thought, he is not bored enough to worry about these problems, for him Su Jiaming will be more cordial when he is in office, just like the people are not keen on fighting corrupt officials, corrupt officials have basically eaten enough after being greedy for so long, and as a result, you are hungry to death when you fight corruption and fight corruption, so don't you have to let the people regain weight?
"Xiaguan Su Jiaming, I've seen Master Zhou." This is the second time that Su Jiaming has come to the city gate to pick up Zhou Yi, the first time is because he won the champion and came back, and after a year, Zhou Yi he greeted has become the prefect. If it is said that the official university crushed people to death, then Zhou Yi was equivalent to a Himalayan mountain range on Su Jiaming's back.
Looking at this familiar face, Zhou Yi was also full of emotion, this is fate. In a year's time, too many things have changed, those things that can be seen and what cannot be seen have been seen at this time, and those that can't be passed in the past have also passed. Su Jiaming, who was able to seal the Daguan Tea House at will, could only grovel in front of him now. Hey, the world is changing so fast.
"Master Su is polite, we are all old acquaintances, why are you talking so unfamiliar. I'm just coming back to take a look, and I'm not wearing an official uniform, so let's keep the etiquette and everything simple. Zhou Yi waved his hand and asked everyone to get up. This feeling is really strange, facing a group of uncles and grandparents in front of him, but he is still a high-ranking identity, which is really acceptable and incompetent.
Su Jiaming said with a serious face: "Lord Zhou said that it was funny, etiquette cannot be abolished, the so-called state-owned national law family has family rules......"
"Okay, okay, it's really cold, let's go into the city, don't stand here and blow the wind." Zhou Yi was full of black lines, and hurriedly stopped him from continuing, urging everyone to enter the city.
This time, he put on his own blood-throated horse, sat on the horse, and looked at the people he knew and didn't know on both sides of the road.
"I just said that this kid will have a future, you see, it's only been a long time for him to become such a big official, this week's family is really smoking from the ancestral tomb, and it's going to be developed." A pork vendor stabbed the boning knife into the board and said excitedly.
A tofu vendor next to him ruthlessly exposed his hypocrisy and said: "You have it, I remember what you said is that you will definitely be better than him in the future, you see, people have become important ministers of the court before the age of twenty, and you are still killing pigs here with half of your body in the ground." ”
"You know the, when did I say that, I've always been optimistic about this week's champion. Hmph, I'll send this half of the meat to Zhou's house later. The butcher argued as he waited with bloodshot eyes.
"Just wait, can the prefect look at you squarely? Dreaming. ”
……
Zhou Yi returned home all the way, and now that Zhou Yi has become a big official, the Zhou family will naturally not be stingy, the lights are colorful, I don't know how lively it is, the scarlet hand-woven blankets have been stretched out of the house, and Zhou Yi is distressed when he sees it. Lao Tzu went out to be an official for a year, but he didn't get half of the benefits except for Yulu, and he also got a lot of money......
When he got to the door, he dismounted, and told the people behind him to wait, and then went to the carriage and helped Tang Huan out.
Tang Huan saw his parents for the first time, of course, he was dressed in a costume, a bright red floor-mopping robe was not only festive, but also graceful and luxurious, with a golden crown on his head, which blinded everyone's eyes, coupled with that beautiful face, everyone was stunned.
Zhou Yi had already thought of a pretext on the way here, so when Zhou Sheng came over to ask about the identity of this woman, he immediately said: "When I became the prefect, the emperor married a relative of a big official in the capital to me, it is her, but my foundation in the capital is not stable, so it is not suitable to publicize it, and it is really a sin and a sin to bring it back today to meet your fathers and fellow villagers." ”
In the crowd, only Zhang Zhong in the corner knew whether what he said was true or false.
This woman is actually a relative of a senior official in the capital? That is not good, it is the relatives of the emperor and the country, everyone's enthusiasm was once again pushed to the commanding heights, Tang Huan lied in front of so many people, he still felt a little guilty in his heart, thinking about his identity, he felt a sadness in his heart.
Zhou Yi seemed to feel the change in her mood, and the hand holding her palm added a little more strength.
Walking to the door, Zhou Yi saw Zhou Sheng, Qin's family, and several other relatives, but only Zhou Min was missing, so he asked, "Where is my sister?" ”
Zhou Sheng looked back and wondered: "No, it doesn't make sense, she was still here just now, why did she disappear after a while?" ”
However, everyone didn't think too much about it, the courtyard of the Zhou family was big, but Wang Er took these people to the residence of the warehouse outside the city very interestingly, although it was outside the city, the living environment was not bad, and it was not a grievance for these Liangshan heroes.
Back home, everyone came to congratulate Zhou Yi on the fact that he had become married, and Zhou Yi also took Tang Huan to know these relatives one by one. Finally, Zhou Sheng took out a letter of silver from his room, stuffed it into Tang Huan's hand, rubbed his hands and said with a little nervousness: "That...... Hengzhi didn't tell us before, so I didn't know that you were coming, so I would give you a small red envelope temporarily, and I hope you don't dislike it. ”
"Thank you, father-in-law." Tang Huan gave a very elegant gift, and he was even more happy that Zhou Sheng couldn't close his mouth.
Tang Huan seemed to have become the focus of the family, and Zhou Yi, the protagonist, was left out in the cold, which made him feel very depressed, but he found that Zhou Min had not shown up, so he asked again: "What about Minmin?" (To be continued......)
