Chapter 126: Thoughts
After the Laba Festival, the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.
Liu assigned the task to the mother in the back office, and redressed every courtyard in the house, the kumquat tree was removed from the ambiguous house a few days ago, and was sent to each courtyard one after another, and new red lanterns were replaced under the corridor, and the house was full of joy.
Su Youlin and Su Youhua came back the day before the exception.
When Jin Nian went to Ronghua Hall to ask for peace, the two old men were kowtowing to the old lady, and the old lady sat on the Taishi chair, looked at the two sons kneeling on the ground, and said with relief: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”
After please, the old lady asked about the transfer of her two sons after the beginning of spring: "Boss, do you have any definite news about your entry into the cabinet?" ”
Su Youlin is over forty years old, with a wisp of beard on his lips, and he has just arrived home, and he is still wearing a second-grade official uniform.
Hearing that the old lady was asking him, he thought for a while, and then said slowly: "I want to come to ** and not leave ten, and my son is also waiting for the appointment letter." ”
He is a local member of the second grade, and in terms of merit, he feels that he is not worse than others, but he has been away from Beijing for nearly ten years, and his qualifications and foundation in the capital are still shallow. In addition, the partisan struggle in the capital is becoming increasingly fierce, and it is even more difficult for him to enter the cabinet.
In the capital, he has to go back eventually! If you have been in the center of power for too long, the influence of the family will gradually weaken, and the relationship that should be dredged has been dredged, and now there is only one way to wait.
When the old lady heard this, she sighed and said, "Back then, when your father wanted to enter the cabinet, he also went through a lot of twists and turns, so you don't have to be anxious. ”
Su Youhua smiled: "My father is very good at learning, and if my son can follow his father for a few points, he will be worry-free." ”
The old lady didn't have any good advice, and when she saw that her son was laughing and laughing, she didn't mean to be sad at all, so she didn't say much about him, and turned her head and asked Su Youhua again: "The third child wants to be transferred back to Yangzhou, have you done this?" ”
Back to Yangzhou? The brothers looked at each other for a moment, and Su Youhua said a little carelessly: "It's the son, the son is seeking the position of Jingzhou Tongzhi." ”
"Third child, what's going on?" The same level was transferred, and the rich Lianghuai region was also transferred, what is the difference between this and degrading officials?
I haven't heard that he got into trouble or offended Shangguan, why was he transferred to Jingzhou? The boss is struggling hard, and finally he is expected to be transferred out of Jingzhou, why did the third jump in again?
There is no one in the third room who makes her worry!
The old lady put down the teacup and waited for Su Youhua to answer with a calm face.
Jin Nian's eyes on the side flashed slightly, if the old lady knew that she persuaded her father to transfer out of the Lianghuai region, she would have to be punished. She pursed her lips and glanced at her father, bowing her head for his answer.
Su Youhua saw that the old lady was angry, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, and said respectfully: "The Lianghuai region is not peaceful because of the salt tax, but Jingzhou has been rectified very well by the eldest brother. The position of Tongzhi in Jingzhou should be to accumulate qualifications. When the eldest brother has gained a firm foothold in the capital, if the mother wants to go back to Beijing, the son should ask the eldest brother to go around and transfer to the capital, so that he can do his filial piety under the mother's knees......"
Gu Minde, the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou, committed suicide in fear of crime, and the old lady naturally knew. Now listening to the third son say this, she was silent and frowned, I am afraid that the matter of the third son's transfer to Jingzhou was discussed with the boss, and if she gets the salt tax, she will really be ruined......
Seeing that the old lady didn't speak for a long time, the people below lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything more.
Jin Nian was secretly surprised, in her previous life, in the third year after her uncle entered the cabinet, that is, when she was fifteen years old, the Yangzhou Su family moved the mansion to the capital.
Now listening to my father's words, in this life, they will still follow the trajectory of their previous lives, and they will enter Beijing soon!
So can she get rid of the fate of her previous life?
Jin Nian's hands clenched unconsciously.
After a long time, I only heard the old lady sigh: "Okay, you are older, I can't control you for a few years, go to Jingzhou and Jingzhou." After a pause, he said: "Gu Jiashiro, if you don't return to Beijing this year, you are all back, so let Brother Ang go and invite him to come to his house to celebrate the New Year together." ”
"The third child stays, and the others are scattered!"
The old lady spoke, and everyone walked out of Ronghua Hall.
Jinnian was still thinking about entering Beijing, and Su Jinxiu saw that she was still in a trance, so she poked her arm: "What's wrong with you?" Absent-minded. ”
Su Jinxiu frowned, looked Jinnian up and down, and continued to mutter: "When I heard the old lady mention the fourth brother, you and your good sister are not right, they are really sisters, and they have a good heart......
She dragged out the last few words for a long time. Jinnian was speechless, glared at Su Jinxiu and said, "I'm thinking about what my father just said about entering Beijing, have you heard any rumors?" ”
Since she slapped Su Jintong in Huaimo Study last time, the two of them don't even want to do face-saving affection, what kind of sisters are they talking about!
Besides, whether Gu Yanyi comes to celebrate the New Year or not, Su Jintong cares, but it has nothing to do with her Su Jinnian.
"Do you want to enter Beijing? The old lady and the fourth aunt are both from the capital, and if the eldest uncle becomes a Beijing official, it is difficult to guarantee that they have this idea. ”
Of course these Jinnian know. She was thinking that after entering Beijing, there would be a lot of servants in the house, and maybe the mother-in-law who killed her in her previous life would only appear after entering Beijing?
With such a thought, when he returned to Jinghua Xiaozhu, Jin Nian asked Yingge: "Nian'an Jushi still has no news at all?" ”
Yingge was busy cutting window flowers, and when she heard this, she was a little worried that Jin Nian would blame them for not doing well: "I and Du Juan have gone out to inquire, Guangling Academy just doesn't have this person......"
She put down the window flowers, came over and poured tea for Jinnian, and waited for her instructions.
Jin Nian frowned, but he was afraid that the line of Nian Anjushi would also be broken.
Maybe she should think about finding a painter from the Yangzhou Mansion?
It happened that the cuckoo came in with sticky paste, and looked for Yingge to paste the window flowers together, and saw that his young lady was holding a tea cup and didn't move for a long time, so he said: "Just now I heard Yingge in the corridor and said that I miss Anjushi, and I also asked someone to inquire, and I think there will be news after the beginning of spring." ”
Jin Nian was silent: "After the beginning of spring, you remember to listen again." ”
In fact, Jin Nian has begun to lose hope of finding Nian Anjushi, in the past half a year, Yingge has gone out to look for it privately, and even Su Ziang has inquired in the academy, but no one in Guangling Academy knows Nian Anjushi!
Cuckoo is a maid, how sure can he be?
Du Juan saw that Jin Nian was still depressed, but she didn't dare to guarantee the ticket herself, so she bluntly changed the topic: "Miss, do you know, what did the old lady say about the third master?" ”
Jin Nian's forehead jumped, and the cuckoo seemed to be smiling, could it be that the old lady left her father to speak, not to ask about the transfer of Lianghuai? When she heard her father say that she entered Beijing, she was in a trance, and she didn't pay attention to what the old lady said later.
"Is it for Miss Five?"
Du Juan showed an exaggerated expression of admiration, and said with a smile: "Of course, it's for the fifth lady, otherwise, the old lady is willing to invite Gu Gongzi to come to the mansion for the New Year!" ”
Jin Nian blinked, according to Du Juan, the old lady was planning to let her father come forward as a matchmaker in person!
