Of course, Xie Pu didn't know what Xiao Rui had done for his meeting with King Yan. He was just very happy that his next official position was credible, and the prospects for development were quite good.

On the tenth day of the first month of April, he received an order from the Ministry of Officials, and was officially appointed as the political envoy of Beiping to participate in politics.

With this formal letter of appointment, some things that could not be decided before can also be decided.

Xie Pu once again gathered the shopkeepers, stewards, bookkeepers, and men who had come back to join him, agreed on future development plans, and at the same time, sent invitations to the two friends who had been used when he was the governor of Kaizhou in the past.

Cheng Anshan and Mo Yanke have been working under him for several years. Among them, Cheng Anshan was born in Zhushan Academy, and Mo Yanke was recommended by the former protégé of Song Saijiu. After Xie Pu was imprisoned, they also suffered from the pond fish disaster and were imprisoned together, but they were not locked up with Xie Pu.

However, after Wang Angui's crime was exposed, Xie Pu was able to clear his innocence, and he was not released for various reasons, but the two of them were fortunate to be released first. But because they had suffered some sins and beatings in prison, they each recuperated at home. When Xie Zeshan went to Beijing to run for his nephew, Xie Pu asked him to go and see them. After they recovered from their injuries, they also participated in the rescue work, but they never showed their faces in front of the Xie family.

Now that things have changed, they can happily come to Xie's house as guests and discuss future plans with Xie Pu. Xie Pu went to Beiping to take up his post, and they also had to accompany him.

Xie Pu and the two staff members were talking in the outer study, and Wen took Aunt Dajin and Wanqin to pack up for Xie Pu in the back house. It is said that the political envoy of Beiping is in urgent need of manpower, and Xie Pu happens to be idle, and King Yan hopes that he can take office as soon as possible. There is still a long way to go from Jinling City to Beiping, maybe it will take a month's effort, and it is better for him to set off one day earlier.

Wen discussed with the two concubines with some worry: "What can I do about this?" We almost didn't get back any of our things, and I couldn't use all of my old clothes. Although a few new ones have been made these days, the winter clothes that were worn in prison are no longer usable, and the rest are thin clothes for spring and summer. You can't let the master just take these clothes to work, right? Even if you go to the clothing store to buy it, it's not like that. ”

Aunt Dajin glanced at Wanqin and whispered: "We don't ask the Cao family to return the family property to us, but the clothes we wore in the past, the used bedding or something, why should they not return it?" Blame disgusting people. The nobles of the Cao family are not short of these two clothes to wear, right? Can't you just return the master's things? ”

Wanqin silently continued to do the needlework in her hand. She couldn't say anything now. She didn't even dare to go to see the Cao family, where else could she ask for anything?

Although Ping Nanbo's approach is too unsophisticated.

Seeing that Wanqin didn't react, Aunt Dajin pursed her lips and couldn't help but speak again: "It's really surprising that the master has been promoted to the third grade so quickly." Thinking that in the past, when the old man was still the son-in-law of the Cao family, he didn't rise so fast, and His Royal Highness King Yan solved the matter with a word. These powerful nobles are really amazing. Thinking about it, the Cao family is not an ordinary noble family, even the prince is the grandson of their family, why didn't he refuse to help the lord be promoted in the past? Could it be that they can't be the master yet? ”

Wanqin remained indifferent.

On the contrary, Wen couldn't listen to it anymore, and glared at Aunt Dajin: "The master is unwilling to be a henchman of the Cao family, take the shortcut of his relatives, and rely on his own ability to rise, this is the old man cherishing his feathers and cleaning himself." What do you have to be picky about? I consulted with you because I was troubled in my heart, and if you don't think for me, what nonsense are you talking about? ”

Aunt Dajin hurriedly smiled and said, "Madam, it's not me talking nonsense, I'm not helping you with ideas?" Just look for the Cao family to go back to the old things that our family used to use. But I had no way, so I asked Sister Qin to help. ”

Wen Shi looked at Wanqin and said with a faint smile: "Don't embarrass her, let's think of other ways." ”

Aunt Dajin pouted and said, "Got it." He glanced at Wanqin again, but he still didn't continue to squeeze her.

Wanqin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She looked at Wen with some gratitude, and really thought of an idea for the other party: "Mrs. might as well pack up the clothes for the spring and summer seasons first, let the master take them to office first, and then slowly prepare the clothes and supplies for the other seasons." The master wants to take the shopkeepers to Beiping, and there will be indispensable personnel and horses in the future, and we will send things to the master later. If you hastily prepare the clothes for the four seasons, if there are any deficiencies, it will not only waste the money, but also make the master lose face in front of people, which is not good. ”

Wen thought for a moment and sighed, "That's the only way." Bring two more pieces of clothes for spring and autumn, and make a few good materials for summer clothes. There are also new official uniforms, auspicious dresses, and formal dresses, which also need to be prepared. ”

The three women immediately got busy. Wen went to the courtyard again to call his daughter. When Xie Mulin came, she instructed: "Now that there are many things at home, everyone is too busy, and my mother needs your help to run errands." When the master goes out of the house, all kinds of medicines and medicinal materials need to be brought with him, just in case. I want you to take your third brother and hire a car to go to Yan Jitang to buy a batch of all kinds of medicines and pills. His pharmacy is fair and reliable, and the medicine money is not expensive, and he has helped our family a lot. This business is not cheaper than others, it is better to cheapen his family. You used to study medical books a few days ago, you must be able to do this errand? ”

Of course, Xie Mulin was competent, so he packed the ticket on the spot: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely handle this matter well." ”

Wen nodded and gave her a heavy money bag: "Here are ten taels of silver plus a hanging of money." If you go to Yanjitang, you don't have to bargain with them, you can pay as much as you want, and it doesn't matter if you pay more. In addition, I will ask someone to prepare some gifts for you, and you will take them to Li Liu'an's daughter-in-law by the way, which is my heart. When I returned, I remembered to go to Li's house and tell Sister Qiao the news of my promotion, and we were ready to go back to our hometown. Let's see when Sister Qiao and her husband are free, so they will come over. I still haven't paid the money I owe her. ”

Xie Mulin took the money bag and left. She had to call Xie Huizhi first.

Li'er ran out of the house and stopped her: "Girl, shall I go with you?" ”

Xie Mulin originally felt inconvenient, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not bad to let Li'er see the environment she lived in during that time, and it seemed that her "change" was natural, so he agreed.

Li'er accompanied her and took over the task of informing Xie Huizhi. After a while, the latter followed Pear, already dressed, ready to go out at any time.

Xie Mulin asked him with a smile: "Follow me to do a coolie, it won't hinder your business, right?" She was referring to Xie Huizhi's work of going out to find out the news.

Xie Huizhi shook his head: "I can't stop it." The Cao family is busy choosing a companion for the prince to read, and even Cao Rong is not available, what can I do? It's better to go back to the North Gate Bridge to relax. ”
