Sure enough, as Yi Xiangxiang expected, before his father Yi Xihu ushered in his Spring Festival holiday, he first ushered in the order of the imperial court. The appointment of a seven-grade county official will naturally not be the emperor's holy decree, so there is no "Fengtian carrier...... The emperor edict said......" The appointment order for Yi Xihu's promotion was directly issued by the Ministry of Officials, and there were a lot of contents, first of all, he praised Yi Xihu for having both ability and political integrity, being outstanding, and being virtuous...... Then he affirmed Yi Xixi's political achievements, and praised him for governing the century-old county in an orderly manner, beautiful and rich...... Then there is the focus of the appointment, that is, Yixihu was sent to Tongzhou to serve as the governor, and after the beginning of spring, there will be a new person to take over the seat of Centennial County, so that Yixihu can go to Tongzhou to take up his post after the handover; Finally, I hope that Yi Xihu can persevere, work hard, and govern Tongzhou well after being promoted.

When Yi Xihu heard that the place was Tongzhou, he understood that there must be a Tongzhou Jiang in the middle, and he was a little more grateful to Jiang in his heart.

The news soon spread into the Yi family's mansion, everyone in the big house was happy, and some people in the second room were mixed; Let's just say that the Huang family is happy that the big house Yi Xihu has been promoted, and the second room has more or less benefited. Take the juniors as an example, there is Lusheng College in Tongzhou, which is an institution that has walked out of many champions; And Lusheng College also opened a women's school, and it is said that Concubine De used to be a student of Lusheng! As for the worrying aspect, I am naturally worried that in this way, I am afraid that I will be more suppressed by the big house in the future. Of course, there is another important point, the Huang family feels that Dafang's promotion is the result of sending Miaoqin to the Hou Mansion, and the Huang family has always held a grudge against Dafang for not supporting his daughter but holding a girl.

The Huang family hated Miaoqin, but the Lin family thanked Amitabha Buddha, thinking that fortunately Miaoqin's matter did not affect Lord Jiang's trust in his husband. In fact, Lin's worries are completely superfluous, although Mrs. Hou is unhappy because of Miaoqin's affairs, but for some men such as Lord Jiang, they will only feel that they are just a maid, and they don't think it's a big deal.

However, Yi Xiangxiang didn't want her father to be classified as a person in Jiang Chuanhong's faction, mainly because Jiang Chuanhong's daughter was the lady of the Marquis of Changping. The Marquis of Changping is located in the whirlpool of Kyoto, and there is a daughter in the harem, and he will inevitably choose the lord in the future. Yi Xiangxiang didn't want her father to be involved in those partisan disputes, the change of royal power has always been a big number of deaths, and such a gamble is very unnecessary; Why gamble, just be a pure minister! However, the current promotion of her father is mainly the result of Jiang Chuanhong and Lord Jiang's cherishing of talents, Yi Xiangxiang knows that her father wants to show her ambitions, she can't stop her father from rising, right? Besides, Jiang Chuanhong is a good official and very smart, Yi Xiangxiang feels that he will not necessarily go to gamble with the Hou Mansion, after all, in addition to his daughter, he also has sons and grandsons under his knees, and behind him is the Jiang family! He chose not to enter Beijing as an official, and retired in Tongzhou to build his hometown, but isn't this a low-key way to protect himself?

The Yi family's Chinese New Year's Eve was joyful, because all the Yi family knew that this would be their last Chinese New Year's Eve in Centennial County, and even the old lady Yi Kangwen, who had always kept a straight face in front of the juniors, was very happy. The county officials of the Li Dynasty were to return to Beijing to report on their duties at the end of their seven-year term, and now the Li Dynasty is full of talents, and many officials have not been assigned to delegate after reporting their work, so they can only be idle at home; Seeing that his son's seven-year term as a county official was about to expire, he didn't want to receive an order to be promoted before he could report on his work, how could Yi Kangwen be unhappy?

"I went back to Tongzhou, you have to thank Master Jiang. You can get the appointment before the debriefing, he must have ventilated with the above. Yi Kangwen said to his son Yi Xihu.

"The father can rest assured that the son is naturally measured. Over the years, it has also been thanks to Lord Jiang's care, and he quickly approved and tried his best to hand over the governance plan of the century-old county, which is why the county is rich today, and I really want to thank Lord Jiang. Yi Xihu said with great emotion.

Yi Kangwen stroked his beard and continued, "It's good that you can think like this. Although Lord Jiang will pay attention immediately, we must also maintain the original respect for him. Master Jiang has served as the governor of Tongzhou for many years, and many officials who have been promoted by him are very respectful and grateful to him. The Jiang family can also be said to be full of glory, the children and nephews all have officials in the DPRK, and the sister-in-law Jiang Chengshen is already the governor of Lezhou at a young age, and he will inevitably be transferred to Kyoto after two years; Mrs. Changping Hou in Kyoto is the sister of Jiang Chengshen's mother, and he must have a bright future. ”

Yi Kangwen's words were as stupid as Yi Ruofu, and they all heard the implication. The popular point is not to think that Jiang Chuanhong has no power after he retires, the backstage can be hard, in the future, you will all be a man with my tail between my legs, and don't easily conflict with the Jiang family when you arrive in Tongzhou.

Yi Xihu heard the words again and again, he also needed Jiang Chuanhong's guidance after he went to Tongzhou, so naturally he would only be more respectful. Yi Xihu thought for a while and said: "My son has to go to Kyoto to report on his work before he can rush to Tongzhou, and the affairs of this family have to be arranged by my father." ”

Yi Xihu went to Tongzhou, and the Yi family naturally wanted to move and follow. He went to Kyoto to report on work, and there were only two men left in the family, Yi Kangwen and Yi Tangquan, who could take charge of things, and he couldn't entrust the family to an unreliable cousin, right? I can only trouble my old father.

In Yi Xihu's view, although Yi Tangquan is his cousin, the two brothers are usually very close to each other when they talk and chat, and he is willing to take care of Yi Tangquan; But Yi Xihu is not confused, he will never expect Yi Tangquan to do anything, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, he will be Amitabha.

"It's okay, the new county official will come over to hand over to you after the beginning of spring, and the family should pack up the cage in advance and go on the road slowly, and vacate the mansion for others. A few small ones haven't been out of the gate yet, and we can walk slowly on the road to see the scenery. During this period, you will live in Xile Building, and then you will go back to Beijing to report directly after your official business, and then go to Tongzhou. Yi Kangwen had already thought about this stubble, and told Yi Xihu about his arrangements.

"Yes, the son does as his father commands." Yi Xihu is very cooperative with Yi Kangwen's arrangement.

The two family members take care of themselves, you and I will settle the matter with one sentence, and I don't give others a chance to refuse at all. The juniors are not easy to say no even if they are given the opportunity, the Mo family and the Lin family will not go against their husbands' wishes, and Yi Tangquan and the Huang family do not have the strength to speak. Huang looked at his husband as if he had nothing to do with him, to be precise, he couldn't even talk about the big things of moving, and he hated it in his heart! Yi Xiangxiang felt that she heard Huang's teeth creaking.

In fact, Yi Xiangxiang is also a depressed member, and her grandfather obviously glanced at her when he said, "A few little ones have never been far away", with a complaining look of "You haven't seen the world in the Yi family"! Come on, I've been on a plane, you old guy knows what an airplane is! However, she can only slander, because not to mention that the second room came all the way from Kyoto, and her brother Yi Luochuan also returned to Kyoto after he was a little older, so she was really the only one who had never been far away!

Of course, Yi Xiangxiang also knew that her grandfather was afraid that she would not be suitable for riding in a carriage if she had not gone far away, so she said that she would walk slowly and look at the scenery.

Because there is a happy event at home and it is the New Year, everyone on Chinese New Year's Eve naturally eats, drinks and laughs so that the atmosphere is very harmonious. Yi Tangquan, as one of the real happy people in the second room, raised his glass with a smile and said: "Tongzhou is a good place, the younger brother wishes the eldest brother a smooth progress and a bright future since then!" ”

Yi Xihu smiled and raised his glass in return to Yi Tangquan, and the two of them drank several glasses each of them the moment they went back and forth. It wasn't until Mo Shi said that he would drink less and that he would have to keep the New Year at night, that the two of them stopped.

Yi Xiangxiang looked at the second uncle in a dark red peach-patterned robe, and appreciated his appearance a little higher. Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is wearing red clothes for celebration, and even Wang and Feng, who are allowed to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the second room, are wearing peach-colored robes; But Yi Xiangxiang looked at everyone with the lights on, and felt that she was not dressed as much as the second uncle...... Well...... There are many kinds of styles. Yi Xiangxiang was also thinking in her heart at the same time, what the second uncle said just now "Tongzhou is a good place" should be more than just a place, right? Tongzhou is a well-known place for talented and beautiful women, and Zhu Qianqian's mother is the famous Tongzhou Hu girl; , the second uncle's applause, do you want to say that the beauty is okay? Yi Xiangxiang smiled secretly.

Speaking of partially parted rooms to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, it was ancient in the Li Dynasty; Chinese New Year's Eve is a reunion night, and concubines who have children on this day will also be allowed to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve feast; However, you can't serve the table, and you have to serve the housewife on the side.

The Wang family and the Feng family stood respectfully behind the Huang family, in fact, if there was anyone else who was really happy about Yi Xixi's promotion, it was Aunt Feng of Rong Xiyuan. She thought that it would be difficult for her son to meet him after he went to Tongzhou, but she didn't expect that the old man of the big house would be promoted, and the place where he would go to work was Tongzhou. Aunt Feng couldn't be happier in her heart, she felt that everything was blessed by God, so even if the Huang family still had obvious difficulties in calling her at the banquet, she didn't dislike it at all.

The brightly lit Yifu is bustling with activity, and everyone is looking forward to a new life.

......

Chinese New Year's Eve is over, and the first month begins. Yi Xiangxiang, with the identity of the new concubine of Tongzhou Zhizhou, sat in Ci'an Hall and received many gifts and red envelopes from his wife. Yi Xihu and the Lin family are both masters who are good at dealing with people, so they have good friends with the rich gentry and villagers in Bainian County, plus Yi Xihu is promoted, there are countless people who have come to Ci'an Hall to give New Year's greetings to the old lady and old lady of the Yi family in the past two days. The purpose of climbing the relationship is to climb the relationship, and the one who is grateful is also really grateful; Yi Xihu has been an official in Centennial County for seven years, and he has really benefited the villagers here, so the villagers know that Yi Daren Gao Sheng has also given some gifts, some of which are chickens and ducks, and some are pickled vegetables and peppers...... It made Lord Yi Xihu quite moved.

Several small members of the Yi family have gone out to meet friends, and they are about to leave Centennial County, so they naturally want to say goodbye to their classmates and friends. And Yi Xiangxiang didn't go out, Liu Fangfei knew that she would leave, and she had already said that she would meet her directly at Xile Building before leaving. So now Yi Xiangxiang is sitting in Ci'an Hall eating dim sum melons and fruits, waiting for the next wave of visitors to "worship" with Yi Kangwen and his wife. And Yi Kangwen looked at Yi Xiangxiang's money obsession, and rolled his eyes in his heart.

"Do you hate the fact that Joy House earns less? You also took a share of the share of a pint of incense! Collect some red envelopes and deserve your joy to be like this? Yi Kangwen said that he couldn't stand it anymore.

Yipinxiang is managed by the Lin family, but after all, it is a shop passed down by the old man and his wife, and the proceeds are all handed over to the Mo family. When Yi Xiangxiang provided the spice recipe, she was very careful and said that she would extract the commission in return, so she also got a piece of the pie. Yi Kangwen felt that if it was really counted, this little granddaughter would really be a little rich now.

"Grandfather, you are used to being a good person, didn't you teach me? Don't get along with anyone, don't get along with money! The red envelopes of the ladies are so thick, and yesterday I also received two large-denomination silver tickets from Baofeng Qianzhuang, which are enough for me to open another pint of incense. Yi Xiangxiang sat in the Huanghuali circle chair and said proudly.

Baofeng Qian Zhuang is the largest money village in the Li Dynasty, and there are branches in almost every state and county in the Li Dynasty; Yi Xiangxiang felt that this money bank must be the handiwork of a certain big boss in the imperial court, after all, if he can open a "bank" all over the country, he must be a person with some power status.

Mo Shi, who was sitting at the top, frowned slightly when he heard this: "These people must be trying to cling to your father, and it is estimated that your father's oil and salt are not entering, so they hit the idea on you, don't be trapped." ”

"Grandmother, you don't understand this, do you? If you think about what I know about a little girl, I only know that the elders can't give away, and my father doesn't know what I received, because I'm a little kid who doesn't know the purpose behind these things, and I haven't mentioned it to my father at all. After Yi Xiangxiang finished speaking, she looked at her grandmother Mo with a smile, her eyes full of cunning.

Mo understood what Yi Xiangxiang meant at this time, those who could do things did not take bribes, and those who couldn't do things received gifts that were not considered bribes.

Mo Shile smiled and said: "It turns out that this is called meat buns beating dogs, and there is no return!" The mothers-in-law and maids of Ci'an Hall laughed when they heard this.

Yi Xiangxiang doesn't mind, anyway, it is herself who gets substantial benefits, and she won't lose a piece of meat when she is laughed at. She nestled in the circle chair and opened the red envelope to count the money, not to mention how happy she was.

"What are you going to do with the Joy Building?" After Yi Kangwen finished laughing, he stroked his beard and asked Yi Xiangxiang.

"It's open, I can't close the restaurant just because I'm leaving, right? You go back and help me ask the shopkeeper if he wants to stay, and if he wants to go to Tongzhou with us, I will arrange for someone else to take over. Yi Xiangxiang said that she felt a little hungry, and reached out to grab the almond cake to eat; Mo saw her movements and sent her mother-in-law to the kitchen to serve her longan soup.

"Aren't you afraid that without your care, the new county official will be embarrassed by Xile Building?" Yi Kangwen continued to ask Yi Xiangxiang, looking forward to her answer.

Yi Xiangxiang glanced at her grandfather Yi Kangwen, knowing that he intended to teach himself, so he generously said: "Lend him ten bear-hearted leopard galls!" Grandpa, don't talk to me, Daddy was promoted to Tongzhou Zhizhou, and then he will be the top boss of this century-old county official! Is he embarrassed by the joy building? I'm not embarrassed, he's all good! And Ah grandpa, not only is the joy building not closed, but also a pint of incense. However, the shopkeeper of Hong Xi was going to follow us and went to Tongzhou to continue to open a new Yipinxiang. He has experience, and he can make proper arrangements for opening a new shop, so you should hurry up and let him choose a successor these two days! Wait, my granddaughter will help you complete the grand cause of having a fragrance in the world, who let my brother not have such an excellent talent as me, I will reluctantly take over! ”

In fact, Yi Xiangxiang originally wanted Hong Xi to go to Tongzhou to open Yipinxiang first, but there was already Xile Lou in front of him, so he gave up for fear of being too eye-catching, after all, his father's order had not come down at that time.

Yi Kangwen glanced at his granddaughter, who was boasting, and said, "In this way, you already knew that your father was going to Tongzhou?" How do you know? Yi Kangwen doubted why Yi Xiangxiang opened the new Xile Building in Tongzhou, instead of Jizhou or Huzhou; Although Bainian County is a subordinate county of Tongzhou, because it is located at the junction of three continents, Jizhou and Huzhou are closer to Bainian County.

Yi Xiangxiang didn't admit or deny it, looked at Yi Kangwen with a smile, and looked at the latter with a creep. I thought to myself, this little granddaughter is really more cunning than a fox.

"Tell me, how much do you want to share a piece of incense this time?" Yi Kangwen is like a lamb to the slaughter, waiting for Yi Xiangxiang to sharpen his knife, every time he asks something, Yi Xiangxiang will ask him for money; Mo Shi next to him watched the interaction between his grandfather and grandson and smiled quite happily.

Yi Kangwen is really painful, although he also decided that Yi Xiangxiang will be succeeded by Yi Pinxiang in the future, she has the talent and ability to carry forward Yi Pinxiang; But now Xia Pinxiang has a lot of income because of his granddaughter's recipe, and he still wants to charge two more years for the coffin!

"Six-four points!" Yi Xiangxiang said with a smile and began to eat the longan soup that her mother-in-law had just served.

"Cheng, June Fourth is June Fourth!" Yi Kangwen readily agreed, before Yi Xiangxiang had been broken into seventy-three points by Yi Xiangxiang, at this time he was just losing one percent, and he could still accept it.

"Grandpa, do you think it's you six? You're naïve, aren't you? I'm talking about me six and you're four! Yi Xiangxiang said this cruelly.

Yi Kangwen sat in the Huanghuali circle chair at the top, holding a longan soup in a green glazed porcelain bowl in his hand, stunned there; If his eyes would breathe fire, Yi Xiangxiang might have been turned into scum by him at this moment.

"Grandpa, don't feel distressed, the world will be full of incense in the future, and the forty percent you get is double and double the previous seventy percent, this is not a loss-making deal." Yi Xiangxiang smiled and brainwashed Yi Kangwen.

Yi Kangwen was still unconvinced: "Then what's wrong with you taking four, don't you know how to respect the old and love the young, and love and love your grandfather and me?" Yi Kangwen regretted that he "sent troops" to Yi Xiangxiang's Xile Building so easily, and he knew that he should also talk about the conditions.

"That's different! You see I take a lot, then I am the big boss of Yipinxiang, as a big boss, I not only have the confidence to manage, but I also have the motivation to make money when I do things, isn't it! Besides, I'm here to help you, I could have created my own spice shop, and it's not just for your wishes. Yi Xiangxiang was both soft and hard, and the meaning of her words also threatened Yi Kangwen that she would go it alone if she didn't give it. Of course, this is just a joke, because Yi Kangwen won't really give it, and she won't really go it alone.

The kitten scratched and scratched in Yi Kangwen's heart, although he knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, he still didn't want to admit defeat.

"Eh, I'm a little sleepy, let's go back to Yongleju." Yi Xiangxiang takes retreat as advance.

"Okay, well, if you don't carry forward the Yipinxiang, see how I teach you! Hmph, let's say, how do you know that your father will be transferred to Tongzhou? Yi Kangwen pretended to be evil and said fiercely, the Mo family next to him saw that the ancestors and grandsons had to go through 800 moves every day because of things that were not things, and they were tired of watching it.

Yi Xiangxiang took the benefit, and repeated what she had said to Liu Fangfei before, which made Yi Kangwen sigh again and again, secretly thinking that it would be good if this granddaughter was a man, but it's a pity, it's a pity!

Yi Xiangxiang naturally knew why his grandfather sighed, in fact, he had said more than once that he hoped she was a boy! Come on! She doesn't want to be a good mother at all! If she crosses over as a girl to become a boy, her life will not be over!!
