At the beginning of September of this year, in Yi'an Hospital.

It is very rare for the Wen family to gather here.

Even the boss of the Wen family, who has always been busy and almost does not have much at home, and the county magistrate of this county are also here to discuss the relocation of the family.

None of them are actually locals.

It's just that Wen Junsi, the boss of the Wen family, is an official here, so they moved their family here.

Now that the boss of the Wen family is ready to go to the capital to report on his work, and he is sure to be promoted, their family naturally has to consider moving again, but there are so many people in the family, and the relocation of so many things must be a lot of work, and the danger along the way is also a bit high, so it is rare for the whole family to get together and discuss.

"Jun Si, I remember that your official assessment in the past three years has been superior, I think you will definitely be promoted this time when you go to Beijing to report on your work, but do you know which direction you will be promoted now?

It is to ascend in the direction of the prefect.

Or do you want to enter Beijing and become a Beijing official? ”

Wen Junsi had already told him that he was going to Beijing to report on his work in a month, but he didn't say what the specific situation was, so Qiao Mu specially asked him if he had any points in his heart.

"Mother, the prefect is from the fourth grade.

Your son is only a seventh-rank official now, and this time he died, and at most he will be promoted to the sixth-rank general judgment.

Give the prefect a hand.

But it's also possible to be in charge.

As for the rest, Jingguan is not something that those of us from the family should think about at all, and if I am not mistaken, the most likely direction of my promotion this time should be the general judgment of the Anzhou Prefecture.

So what I want to say is, maybe, we don't need to move to the capital with our family, and then move with me, I can go to the capital alone to report to work, and you can move to Anzhou first. ”

Wen Junsi was also very helpless after listening to Qiao Mu's words, he was a seven-rank county order, not to mention that he didn't have any great merit, even if he had a great counterinsurgency merit, it was impossible to be directly promoted to the fifth level.

Ascended to the prefect of the fourth grade.

From ancient times to the present, there are few officials who have been promoted to the third level.

So he immediately explained helplessly, and said his speculation and suggestions.

"Mother, the eldest brother has always been steady, why don't we listen to the eldest brother and move to Anzhou Mansion first?"

The second eldest Wen Junhuai doesn't have any opinions of his own, anyway, except for his mother in the family, his eldest brother has the highest status, so he naturally echoed it.

"Mother, I don't have any objection to which way to move.

But I want to go to the capital with my eldest brother.

Anyway, I will also go to Beijing to take the exam in the spring of next year, and it should not hurt to enter Beijing two or three months in advance, and I can stabilize Wen Huishu as soon as possible.

That's it.

I'm afraid I won't be able to reunite for the Chinese New Year this year. ”

Although the third Wen Junjue has been admitted to the Juren for nearly nine years and has participated in the Spring Festival twice, he still has not been admitted to the Jinshi, and he is obviously late to change careers at this age, so he naturally has to continue to take the exam.

"It doesn't matter if the Chinese New Year reunion is not reunited.

Usually I can see each other almost every day, but I don't see each other for a few months, or what's the big deal if I don't reunite for the New Year in a year, since that's the case, then let's just give things to the end, Jun Si and Jun Jue go to the capital, and our family goes to Anzhou Mansion.

Well, the old family and the third family, you two should also bring some servants with you.

After all, it's not good for husband and wife to be separated for half a year.

As for the child, he won't follow, anyway, the child is not small, and it is a long way to go from here to the capital, so there is really no need to let the child suffer this sin, so let them go to Anzhou Mansion with me first.

As for how it will be after that.

I'll wait until the two of you are settled. ”

Since everyone's opinions are not very for tat, of course, Qiao Mu is too lazy to waste time, and immediately settles the matter.

And the whereabouts of the personnel have also been arranged.

"Mother is very right!"

"So good! Very good! ”

When several other people echoed and said that they had no objections, Wen Hu couldn't help but feel a little entangled, not knowing whether to speak or not.

Recently, she and her son have made tens of thousands of high-quality handmade soaps, and they are preparing to ship them to the capital to find a way to sell them.

She just hasn't had time to tell her mother-in-law yet.

If you can't go to the capital, but go to Anzhou Mansion, I'm afraid that even if you can sell those handmade soaps, the effect and income will be discounted.

This is a loss of several thousand taels.

Of course, this loss does not mean a loss in cost, but a loss caused by the fact that you can only earn two taels now.

If you don't make enough money, you're losing!

That's fine.

"The second one, you don't have anything to say?"

Qiao Mu knows the situation at home well.

I also know everything she does in private with her second daughter-in-law and the grandson of the traverser, so when I turned my head and saw her second daughter-in-law with a tangled look, I immediately remembered that they still had tens of thousands of high-quality handmade soaps that had not been sold.

So immediately asked by name.

"Ah, mother-in-law, what ......?"

Wen Hu was taken aback by Qiao Mu's sudden name, but he quickly reacted, and after thinking for a while, he finally decided to tell the truth:

"Mother-in-law, I do have something to say.

I have stockpiled a batch of fragrant pancreas, all of which are not available on the market now, and I am preparing to ship them to the capital to sell them after a while, so I want to go to the capital with my uncle and third uncle.

Just if I follow alone.

Even if it's nothing.

It is inevitable that some people will make irresponsible remarks.

So isn't that a dilemma?

I don't know what to do.

If I go alone, I'm a woman's family, and it's really hard to say along the way. ”

"Oh, it's the one I gave me some time ago, it tastes good, it's good.

That being the case.

It's really troublesome.

One of you wants to go to Beijing to report on your work, one wants to go to Beijing to take the exam, the other wants to go to Beijing to sell things, and then next year several children will go back to their hometown to take the county exam, which is not a good thing to delay.

Well, in this way, you three brothers will go to Beijing together, and bring your wives to Beijing together.

I took my children back to my hometown.

Then I won't go to Anseongfu first.

Anyway, several children in the family will go back to their hometown next year to take the county exam, so it's good to go back early, and it's not good to miss it in a hurry when you can save it.

By the way, also, you have nothing to do in Beijing to visit your sister, I haven't seen her for a long time, you go to see how she is doing on my behalf, and whether she has suffered any grievances on weekdays.

The most important thing is that the second child's family, the fragrant pancreas you and your kid have a very special taste this time, and they should be quite popular, in order to prevent them from being taken by others.

Or design a trap and seize the secret recipe.

When you go to the capital, don't sell it for the time being, send some to Sihui first, let Sihui find a way to publicize it in the Xungui circle, if possible, spend a few thousand taels or even tens of thousands of taels to bribe the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and select the handmade soap with several fragrances you get out as tribute, then our family's business can be regarded as really stable, and there will be no accidents.

It's important to be able to do your best, if you can't do it or if you're in danger.

Or let go in time.

Either take refuge in time with the powerful.

Don't think about anything.

Our family doesn't have the ability, we can't touch it.

There are too many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital, and it is not necessarily safe to take refuge in anyone, only by relying on the royal family can it be considered really stable, you can understand. ”

Although Qiao Mu's words sound a little bit of a nest, they are indeed a way to protect one's life.

In that capital, there are all the merchants who come up.

There is no nobleman behind it.

If you really don't rely on it, and if you have anything good, it won't last at all, and you can design a crime to raid your house with some excuse, and no one will care about anything for an ordinary businessman.

Unless there is a competing interest with each other.

But no matter what, merchants who have no background and have good things are destined to become cannon fodder.

Therefore, entering Beijing to sell things is secondary, before selling things, it is most important to find a way to find a backer for your own things, and it is not a reliable thing to take refuge in any county king and official, only to really rely on the internal affairs government and the royal family.

That's really safe.
