Chapter 822: Embarrassed
Sun Bian immediately replied: "Queen Mother, this is a natural principle, and the minister can't bear it!" β
He straightened his chest and said eloquently: "When the road is in trouble, whoever is a gentleman cannot turn a blind eye, and if anyone is present, he will come out. β
Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head and said: "Sun Qing has been an official for many years, don't you know the way of 'Zigong redeeming people' and 'Zilu receiving cattle'?" For the sake of the people's customs, you can't shirk it. β
The two allusions she mentioned are from "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Chawei", which is about "Therefore, the chaos survives, and its beginning is like a moment." If you look at the details, the big thing is not enough".
In the past, there was a law in the Lu State that if a countryman became a slave outside, someone paid for it, and the court would make up the ransom for him afterwards.
At that time, Confucius's student Zigong was quite wealthy, and after ransomed the Lu people and returned to China, he refused to accept the ransom given by the imperial court.
Another student, Zilu, accidentally rescued a person who fell into the water, and the owner gave him a cow as a thank you gift, and Zilu accepted it calmly.
When others heard this, they all praised Zigong for his kindness and did not want to reciprocate, but was a true gentleman, and said that Zilu was full of copper and was not the right way. But Confucius praised Zilu and criticized Zigong. Guy has learned from the past, no one is willing to do the ransom and lose money, and if he does a good deed, he may not get a good one, but Zi Ru can encourage the wind of saving people in the world.
Empress Dowager Zhang only mentioned one sentence, and Sun Bian immediately understood, and said: "In this case, please give a reward for silver!" β
Don't want an official position, but a reward for silver, which is enough to reflect his dignity.
Empress Dowager Zhang said with a smile: "This matter is handed over to the Kyoto government, but it has nothing to do with Sun Qing." β

Sun Bian walked out of the vertical arch hall first.
Zhou Dekun took a few steps forward and shouted: "Stay in politics." β
The new emperor has just ascended the throne, and a bunch of government affairs in the official office are waiting for him to go back to deal with it, Sun Bian raised his legs, and before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Zhou Dekun, who was behind.
Although he was a little impatient, he was an official in the same dynasty, but he had no choice but to turn around and say, "What's the matter? β
Zhou Dekun stepped forward, walked side by side with him, and whispered in his mouth: "I was in the palace just now, I didn't have time to say, it seems that this time I went out to invite the medical officer, gather people, and choose the brave one, but it is a female ......dependent."
Sun Bian was stunned.
Zhou Dekun was just pinched by Sun Bian for seven inches, and he was ravaged on the ground for a long time, and at this time he bit back this time, although it was not painful, but he was a little happier in his heart, and carefully observed Sun Bian's stiff expression, and said neatly: "The Queen Mother drafted a charter for me, but I don't know what Sun thinks about participating in politics?" β
He walked slower and slower, but he was not left behind at allβit turned out that Sun Bian also walked slower and slower.
"If you really only need gold and silver to participate in politics, then in my charter, I only mention gold and silver, and I don't know if it's appropriate?"
Zhou Dekun's expression on his face was very reserved, but in Sun Bian's eyes, it was really hateful.
Standing on the hall just now, although Sun Bian said that he was humble in his mouth, he was not a little complacent in his heart, and he was still thinking about which son was so prominent, why didn't he let himself see that he was so impatient.
I was thinking about my own kind again, looking at the ordinary on my face, and when I encountered something, it was immediately revealed.
In such a hurry, others were at a loss, but he knew that he would first invite a doctor, and then gather people, and finally due to the lack of manpower, he immediately made a decision, and in the name of his own participation in political affairs, he went to invite officials and family members to help, and lured the people with gold and silver.
This action, in hindsight, actually did not have any difficulties, but the difficulty was that the time was so short, no one was allowed to think about it, but in a moment, he could still think so thoroughly, one, two, three, four, order, correspondence, not chaotic at all.
With such a texture, as long as you are well-trained and polished, you will be able to become a talent in the future!
He has already made a plan, and when he goes back this time, he will take this son with him and carefully investigate it to see where he wants to cultivate.
However, before this dream was done, it was splashed with cold water by Zhou Dekun on the other side.
What kind of lady is it......
It's a pity that I can't take this with me......
Sun Bian was once Zaifu in the end, and he slowly took a few steps, and immediately adjusted his mentality.
There's nothing wrong with that.
If it is a female dependent, it is not the wife of her own family, but the ninth sister Yunniang.
It's always a good thing.
If a lady does such a righteous act, she can add luster to her face as a husband; If it is Yun Niang, it shows that the Sun family has a good family style, and it can more or less offset the unreliable reputation of his father, and it is more convenient to say that he can't pick a husband's house for his sister.
Of course, he didn't fail to see Zhou Dekun's intentions.
The other party deliberately mentioned such a sentence, but he couldn't think that he would recognize it.
This time, such a great achievement, if a woman makes it, it is still easy to do.
Married women, who have a fate, have no difficulty in mentioning one or two more products; Unmarried women, ask for a favor, get a title and give a field - even if there are only one or two small pieces, they can give birth to silver and bronze in the future, and they can also have a title.
It is better to take any of them than gold and silver alone.
He glanced at Zhou Dekun, didn't bother to pay attention to him, only arched his hand, said "Thank you for the reminder", and said two words of greeting, not talking nonsense to him, and walked back to the mansion quickly.
- Do I have only one way to wait for you to speak?
This matter has been witnessed by many people, the culprit is unknown, and in the future, there will be the intervention of the Imperial Historical Observatory to supervise, and the female dependents of my grandson's mansion will act so exemplary, as long as the excerpt of the Kyoto Prefecture is handed over, there will be a good person from the Imperial Historical Observatory who will come out to talk.
It's not that you can't pick out anything good, it all depends on others to decorate beautifully to send it to people, since the family is so outstanding this time, even if you throw it on the ground casually, no one dares to turn a blind eye.
Hold it! I did something wrong, and I still want to pinch me, so I don't care about you!
Sun Bian strode out, walking and walking, involuntarily, humming a small tune in his mouth.
He didn't realize it at first, but when he entered the office and saw the officials greeting him with a smile, he reacted and quickly closed his mouth.
But I couldn't help but reminisce in my heart - how could I not think that this song was filled in by the ancients slowly, and others said that it was sad and sad, but in fact, the tone was still a little cheerful!
***
With this good thing, even if there was a mountain of official affairs in the government office, and several subordinates made a mess, Sun Bian didn't bother much, and he didn't train anyone.
When he got off the Ya, he had something in his heart, although there were still a lot of things to dispose of, he only picked up the most important ones and did them, and put the rest aside for the time being, leaving them for tomorrow.
He hurried home.
Liu heard Sun Yunniang's relay, and felt that there might be a follow-up this time, but the little girl passed the word, and she had to exaggerate what she was interested in, erase what she was not interested in, she listened to it in her ears, and she didn't feel particularly important.
Recently, Sun Bian is on the rise, many clansmen have come to vote, and the father-in-law Sun Ning's new concubine has made a lot of trouble, and she also wants Liu's help to take care of it, she is so busy that her feet don't touch the ground, and she didn't wait for her husband to come back, so she put the matter aside.
This Sun Bian looked for his wife excitedly, and asked anxiously: "Who went to the Jinmingchi the day before yesterday and saved people on the way back?" β
Liu Shi let out an "ah", and his tone was upward, which was full of suspicion.
When Sun Bian saw her reaction, he only thought that his wife was humble, and he didn't want to use it as a basis, so he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Sure enough, Mrs. is anxious!" β
He also said: "I have done such a good deed, I should send someone to talk to me, so that I am so brainless, I was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother, and I don't know what I wanted, and for a while, I thought which of our sons did it!" β
He laughed.
Liu couldn't help but let out another "ah", and said busily: "This matter must not be me!" β
She was praised by her husband so violently that she couldn't sort it out in her mind for a while, and was about to think about how to say to the other party, but Sun Bian on the other side had already said again: "Huh? Is that Yun Niang never? There are no other daughters in the family......"
Several concubines have already been married, and the two daughters have also married early and had children, as for the concubines in the courtyard of his father Sun Ning, no matter which one of them, it seems that they have the ability to do such things.
Sun Bian couldn't help but stroke his palms and said: "I can't see it in the past, although Yun Niang's health is not very good, this decisive power is worthy of being in the same vein as me!" β
He asked again: "According to the queen mother's intentions, the Kyoto government has drawn up a charter to give a reward, looking at Yun Niang's age, according to you, is it good to be titled, or to give land?" β
Sun Bian thought very beautifully, and he was determined to discuss with his wife and ask for the most outstanding reward for his sister, and his mind was spinning rapidly, but he might as well hear the Liu family on the other side say worriedly: "Official, this matter must have nothing to do with our house, but it is the wife of the Gu family......
Liu swallowed his saliva, saw that his husband was slightly stunned, and his heart was really a little empty, so he hurriedly finished his words in one go.
"It was Yun Niang who invited Mrs. Ji of the Gu family to go to Jinmingchi...... The concubine was supposed to accompany her, but she really couldn't pull away, because I thought that Mrs. Ji had always behaved properly, and Yun Niang loved to stay with her, so I didn't stop me......"
"I heard that it was something that happened on the way back, for fear that the post of the deputy envoy Gu's family would not be useful, so I borrowed our family's going, in fact, no matter whether it is arranged or acted, although our family also contributes, it is just to listen to her assignment......"
"After returning, she also sent a thank you gift and an apology gift to her family, and someone went to find the three families who got our name post, saying that although the name post is the Sun family, it is the family of the deputy envoy of Gyeonggi Tidian Prison......
Sun Bian's excitement was pressed in his chest, and many words were about to come out, but he was forcibly blocked back by his wife's words.
He had thought of a good thing, and was going to discuss, but he didn't expect such a change, his mouth was open, his face was numb, and he couldn't think of how to return, and after a while, he had to say blankly: "What...... Isn't it......"
For some reason, the voice sounded faintly pitiful.
Sun Bian was really embarrassed in his heart.
ββEarlier in the palace, his own family also exaggerated Haikou, bluntly said that he refused to give a reward on behalf of his family, and said that "as long as he is present, he will come out", and "the minister is also ashamed" Yunyun.
For a long time, it was all about generosity.
How impassioned he was at the time, and how ashamed he was when he looks back on it.
What a shame!
When the Queen Mother turned around and discussed this matter with herself, she thought that she was already above the Xiaoban Dynasty, and in front of many colleagues, she could not say that there would be Zhou Dekun, Zhu Baoshi, Zhang Hu and others.
It is said that the eldest husband is full of words, and as the chief of the dynasty, do you want to learn the faceless and skinless brocade fish in the tank, and turn your head and swallow the of your own talent back into your stomach? !
But what about that?
If you insist on your own opinion and give a thin reward, others must feel that this governor is very mean, but if you want to come to a carp to fight and turn over indiscriminately, it is inevitable that others will make fun of it.
In other words, it is the rest of the military affairs, Sun Bian will not be so entangled, it is shameless to serve the country left and right, and it is still a good word to say it. This time, the matter was very small, but it involved his own interests, which made him pitifully embarrassed.
***
Not to mention that Sun Bian is like a stuffy stick, and he doesn't know how to end up in the future, but on the other hand, Ji Qingling doesn't know that his actions have already made trouble in front of the palace.
She went back to the house, and someone went to reconfirm the situation of the three families who had obtained Sun Bian's name post, took care of that place, and sent Qiuyue to Sun's mansion to help present a thank you gift, and then asked Sun Yunniang if she was okay.
By the time the work was done, it was already dark.
Seeing the miserable situation during the day, she really didn't have much appetite, so she asked the kitchen to make some light appetizers.
When she finished freshening up, the room just sent the food over - it was a bowl of rice noodles poured with marinade, and the top was neatly stacked with shredded fried egg skin, braised mutton, white water mutton, and hemp curd chicken skin, and there were beans, ginger and spicy radish, and scallion soaked in sour water in the sour tank, and a few green green vegetable leaves, red, yellow, white, and green each had their own seats, without disturbing each other, and the rice noodles were covered tightly and not exposed at all.
Qiu Lu said with a smile on the side: "The kitchen soaked japonica rice and fine rice last night, it was going to be used to make pastries, I didn't want to meet Mrs. no appetite, just right, so I used to grind and squeeze rice flour, this time I went to the kitchen, watching them squeeze the powder out of the tube, white, and steaming, very fresh!" β
I took two bowls of soup out of the food box, and said: "The powder is clear bone soup, and the single drink is clam winter melon soup, which is also refreshing." β
Ji Qingling also had a little appetite when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I don't want to go to Yongzhou, so I asked them to learn local food and come back." β
She took the chopsticks and mixed the bowl of noodles well, and sure enough, the marinade was fragrant, and it had the unique taste of minced ginger and sauerkraut, which made people have a great appetite.
The bowl of flour was not small, it was full of most of it, Ji Qingling unknowingly, he actually ate it cleanly, and after eating, he was accompanied by clear bone soup, but the clam winter melon soup was left untouched - it was full at this time.
Qiu Lu was happy to see it, and said: "Just now seeing that the lady has no appetite, I thought that I couldn't eat anything, and I have to give the cook a credit this time!" β
Hearing her say this, Ji Qingling remembered the events of the day and asked: "I just missed it, if you go out with you today, you can tell Qiuyue and ask her to look at it and reward her according to her merits." β
