451 farewell

Uncle Shen also wanted to personally say "there is work" to Xu Erlang, but Xu Erlang will go south tomorrow, and he will definitely go to the palace to resign today.

This is also the meaning of Emperor Yunwen, the emperor is obviously very concerned about Xu Erlang's southward journey, so he asked people to pass the word yesterday and let Xu Erlang pass early. Jin Niang guessed that Emperor Yunwen should have some other instructions, and if it didn't work, the two monarchs and ministers would also discuss the situation in the south again. So when Xu Erlang will come back, I really can't say.

Xu Erlang didn't know when he would return, but fortunately, Xu's father and Xu's mother came over in time.

Father Xu looked at Uncle Shen, and there was a lot of sighing emotion in his eyes.

Father Xu felt that it was already a very bad thing for him to marry an "old fairy", and he didn't want to have a man in the world who was more miserable than him.

Look at the Shen Mansion in the past two days, what is this called?

The wife of the family secretly sent a monthly example to her mother's brother every month without telling the head of the family? Not to mention, but you can give some as you like, and as a result, the share rose directly to five hundred taels per month, and it only took a few years for the Shen Mansion to put in fifty thousand taels of silver.

Is this Thoma still a daughter-in-law? It's a thief!

It was already benevolent and righteous for him not to send people to the official, but Uncle Shen, a good old man, pretended to have nothing to do, and didn't even give a little punishment. For a while, Father Xu couldn't help but sigh and sigh, he himself was unreliable enough, but he didn't expect Uncle Shen to be even more unreliable than him.

His heart turned a thousand times, but Father Xu didn't show it on his face, and warmly entertained Uncle Shen as usual.

Father Xu and Mother Xu already knew the intention of Uncle Shen's last visit, precisely because Uncle Shen withheld Jinniang's dowry silver. What do you mean by that? That's a lot of slots.

Anyway, the more Father Xu looks at Uncle Shen now, the more he feels that Uncle Shen is pitiful.

To tell the truth, it is quite sad for a man to get mixed up with Uncle Shen.

As for Uncle Shen's intention to come today, Father Xu also knows something. After all, when he came back from outside yesterday, he happened to meet his two grandsons returning from the Shen Mansion.

Xu Erlang arranged the future of Shen Fu's son-in-law and grandson, and Xu's father didn't care. But Xu Erlang also arranged a good business for Uncle Shen, which made Father Xu unable to sit still.

However, thinking about it again, Uncle Shen was also sad, in order to "pay off the debt" for his daughter-in-law, he forcibly took out 8,000 taels of silver and gave him a few grandchildren, Father Xu suppressed that jealousy and decided not to meet Uncle Shen in general.

After all, Uncle Shen is miserable enough, he has to get a few happy events for his house, otherwise how can he go on this day?

When Father Xu and Mother Xu entertained Uncle Shen, Father Lin also came over with a family.

Jin Niang originally planned to go to the Lin Mansion today to bid farewell to her father and Aunt Shen, but no one expected that Emperor Yunwen would suddenly summon Xu Erlang into the palace.

The plan couldn't catch up with the change, so Jin Niang sent a letter to the Lin Mansion last night, asking them not to wait for them today, and to meet again on the day they went south.

Clinker Lin's father was thinking about his daughter in the end, so he packed up early in the morning, so he took Aunt Shen, Xuanxuan and Ke Ke to the door together.

The house was lively, and several children also came over to greet their elders. Later, they were inevitably asked about whether things could be put in order, and they all answered them properly.

Surprisingly, Chang'an also has to go south.

When Father Lin and Uncle Shen heard this, they were a little shocked, "Yingtian Academy will open in two days, why does Chang'an still have to go to the south?" ”

Father Xu didn't wait for Chang'an to answer, so he flattened his mouth and said unhappily, "It's not that Erlang wants to play a play?" He felt that Chang'an was not young, and he didn't make much progress in staying in the capital all day, so he asked the child to follow him to the south to see for a long time. ”

In other words, let Chang'an go to the south to study for a while.

That's a good thing.

Father Lin said, "It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and it is appropriate to take more walks." ”

Father Xu was not happy, "Chang'an Changping has been running to Liaodong a lot in recent years. ”

"How can the style of study in Liaodong be compared with Jiangnan?" Father Lin has a lot to say, "My father-in-law, if you look at the imperial examinations held every three years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Jinshi within the top three accounts for more than seventy percent of the Jinshi in Jiangnan alone." Jiangnan has a strong style of learning, which is a cognition that has existed since ancient times. Chang'an's knowledge is outstanding, and he is also somewhat famous in Yingtian Academy, but who knows what level he has at Jiangnan at this level? It's not good to raise the child's arrogance and make him a frog at the bottom of the well. In my opinion, it is good for Chang'an to go to Jiangnan for a long time, so that you can meet some like-minded people, and you can also let your knowledge grow in the discussion, which is really good. ”

The unhappy look on Father Xu's face became even stronger, how could Father Lin not know that this was Father Xu's displeasure in the eldest grandson going south.

But the fact is just like what Father Lin said, seven points of the world's talent are in Jiangnan. Chang'an stood out in Yingtian Academy, but it may not be possible to go to Jiangnan. Children have their own arrogance, after all, they have been lifted at a young age, and they do have the capital of arrogance. It is conceivable that it will be more stable in the future, and Chang'an will have to receive some frustration education.

According to Father Lin's view, it would be good to let Chang'an go to Jiangnan to meet the talented people over there. After all, sixteen-year-old lifters are rare in the capital, and they are not so rare in Jiangnan.

Father Lin persuaded a few more words, but no matter how unhappy Father Xu was, it was not easy to vent it in front of his in-laws, so he didn't say much in the end.

Chang An listened to the elder's words with a smile and didn't interject.

In fact, this time he went to the south of the Yangtze River, and he took the initiative to ask his second uncle to go over.

Going to Jiangnan to travel to the senior is one of the purposes, but the second purpose is that he knows that this time the second uncle will not be stable on the road to Jiangnan.

This is no better than the second uncle who went to Liaodong earlier, and at that time the second uncle was just a fellow acquaintance from the fourth grade. He didn't have any earth-shattering feats, so naturally no one would take him seriously, and no one would deliberately assassinate him on the road to ambush him.

But this time was different.

This time, the second uncle went to Jiangnan, and he went to the family gate valve in Jiangnan.

It is said that taking away someone's money is like killing someone's parents. The second uncle is not as simple as taking people's money, if he breaks the foundation of his ancestors. Who is this for, and it can't let him have a good past, right?

The second uncle also knows this, otherwise he wouldn't have made so many tricks.

But no amount of tricks will be ineffective in the face of absolute force.

He was worried that there were too many ambushes on the road, and the second uncle would not be able to take care of the two aunts and a few younger siblings if he was negligent. So after thinking about it, I decided to go with it myself.

He didn't feel at ease when he didn't watch the second uncle get to Jiangnan safely. If he didn't watch his second uncle gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan, he would be even more restless day and night.

So this time Jiangnan is going to decide.

Chang'an also wanted to run errands for the second uncle and do a good job.

Although he doesn't have the Mo River and the Huhe people to use, there are some things that he can do, and maybe the effect will be better.

Chang'an made up his mind, but these considerations were not easy to tell his grandparents. Otherwise, the second elder would have to worry about his uncles and aunts, and just in case, they would definitely not agree to him going south.

After all, eggs can't be put in the same basket, otherwise they will be served in one pot and it will be too late to regret it.

Chang Anle withdrew from the flower hall with a few younger siblings, and he patted Changle on the shoulder, "Go and get busy with you." ”

Changle smells of medicine all over his body, and he obviously made medicine in the pharmacy before he came.

These days, she has made a lot of pills, as long as they are the pills available in the world, not only to stop bleeding and remove stasis, strengthen the spleen and invigorate qi, protect the uterus and nourish the uterus, but there are not on the market, and many of the things used to save lives at those critical moments are made by Changle.

There are hundreds of pills of all kinds, and now there are hundreds of bottles, which is said to be far enough. But for some reason, the closer the day to the south, the more Changle felt a sense of fright. This feeling made her not stop and just wanted to do more to save her life. Otherwise, she had a hunch that this road would be even more difficult.

It is also because of this that Changle struggled several times, made a lot of drugs, and even used methods unexpectedly. Medicine.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it's drug or poison. She told the second uncle about the medicine in advance, and she also got the consent of the second uncle, and with the help of the second uncle, she collected a lot of poisons.

Now Changle is still in a hurry to go back, and make some more medicinal powder that will surprise the two aunts, as well as the brothers and sisters, so he is very busy. After getting his brother's consent, he pulled Xiaoyuer and Changqi and returned to the yard non-stop.

Xiao Yu'er and Changqi also stopped their homework, and they have been busy with Changle these days.

Because she was in a hurry, Changle didn't want outsiders to know what she was doing, so she could only instruct two personal maids and two younger sisters.

Xiao Yu'er is very helpless about this, obviously she has no talent in medical skills, but in the past few years, those who have been "strained" by her sister will prescribe herself to cure the cold. And in the past few days, she has been rubbing pills for her sister by hand, and she feels that her medical skills have improved, and now she can be a half-baked doctor.

She's also amazing.

As for Changqi, the little girl is very interested in medical skills. Of course, it's just interest. Let her give up martial arts and switch to medicine, then she really can't do it.

However, Changqi is obsessed with human acupuncture points to the extreme, and it is also because Changle teaches her human acupuncture points as "coercion", so the little girl will willingly use her brute force to help her sister deal with some medicinal materials that are not easy to handle.

The three sisters went away, and Chang'an also took Brother Rong and Changzhou Changhui back to the courtyard.

Brother Rong is not as good as Changzhou and Changhui, those two are still at an ignorant age, and what they worry about every day is their own homework. Brother Rong has been entrusted with the importance of being an adult, so he also knows the dangers on the way south.

My father arranged for ten groups of men to confuse the eye. These people seem to have a lot of manpower, but know that they have more enemies, and there will be more assassins sent by the enemy.

This time I went south, and if I was not careful, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Changzhou and Changhui soon ran away, and Brother Rong said to Chang'an, "Big brother, if you go to Jiangnan in two years, maybe it will be better." ”

Chang An couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, "What, isn't it good for me to go over now?" ”

"Big brother, you know what I mean."

"It is precisely because I know that I want to accompany you to the south. There is Changping at home, which is enough. The eldest brother just stays at home, and he has to live in fear every day. In this case, it is better to accompany you to the past. If there's something along the way, maybe I'll be able to come in handy. ”

Brother Rong lowered his head and stopped talking.

Chang An patted him on the shoulder, "Your friends, but did you say goodbye?" ”

Chang'an nodded.

From the time his father's official position was confirmed, he was ready to go south.

He is young, and the key is the humanistic style in the south, which is indeed stronger than that in the capital. In addition, his mother also told him earlier that going to Yingtian Academy should only be "borrowed", and then where his father worked, he would arrange for him to study in the academy of the nearby state capital. So he was always ready to transfer. After his father became governor, when several friends came to the palace to say goodbye, he briefly mentioned the matter to them.

A few days ago, he even feasted them in the restaurant to say goodbye.

The two brothers went to the courtyard while talking, and then went their separate ways.

They also had some books they read regularly, which they needed to bring to the ship. In addition, there are some more precious things given by the elders, which are not easy to clean up with the help of subordinates, and they need to collect them in person.

Xu Erlang came back after lunch in the palace, and at that time, Father Lin, Uncle Shen and others were ready to leave. When he returned, several of them stayed and sat down for a while.

Uncle Shen is grateful to Xu Erlang for his help, Xu Erlang naturally won't take credit, but he is all relatives, he happens to have spare energy, and it is appropriate to help a little.

Wu Pingxun was also grateful to Xu Erlang, and Xu Erlang reminded him a few words, "Go to Jingzhao Yin Yamen, listen more, watch more, and talk less." I arranged for someone to take care of you, but you won't show up when you're free, and you climb up with your own skills. Jingzhao Yin Yamen is a good place, many officials of the Ministry of War and Dali Temple came out of here, and you should carefully ponder how to go after that. ”

Wu Pingxun was taught, and because of these few words, the earlier excitement faded, and his face became thoughtful.

Xu Erlang looked at Shen Qiubai in front of him again, "Shinong is a businessman, a businessman is a lowly businessman, whether the Shen family can change the court, you have a great responsibility." ”

Shen Qiubai also respectfully agreed, at that moment, the kid's back was straight, and he finally had a sense of responsibility to take on the responsibility of the prosperity of the Shen Mansion.

Xu Erlang also cared earnestly for the bodies of several elderly people, asking them to pay more attention to them and not take them lightly.

He and Jin Niang went to Jiangnan, a little far away from them, and they didn't know when the return date was. They are healthy and worry-free, they will have less worries, and they can focus more on doing things and strive to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

For these advices, Father Lin and Uncle Shen naturally responded to each other.

Father Lin said, "Your aunt and I are in good health, and we will pay attention to maintenance in the future, and I also want to watch you return to Beijing and watch my grandchildren get married." ”

Uncle Shen also said, "Uncle can't help you, but he won't make trouble for you." If you need anything, write a letter to me, and when your uncle has completed everything in the capital, he will ask someone to send it to you. ”

Even Aunt Shen told them again and again, and the care was mixed with worries that could not be hidden, which made people feel sad.

These elders sighed and sighed, and they were especially concerned about their safety. Compared with Xu's father and Xu's mother, who were sitting idly on the side, their attitudes were a little cold, which was a little embarrassing.
