Chapter 128: Appointment
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jin Nian turned thirteen years old.
As in previous years, the old lady allowed her to be free, and she didn't need to follow the adults out to visit relatives, and it happened that Xie had not returned to Huai'an, so she got up early in the morning and cooked longevity noodles for her daughter.
Jin Nian ate longevity noodles, and the mother and daughter spent a day in Fuhuayuan.
In the evening, Su Youhua came back from the outer courtyard with a strong smell of wine.
Xie Shi complained with disgust: "Eating alcohol hurts your body, why don't you know to take it easy?" A person who is dozens of years old, still thinks he is like that hairy boy? ”
Su Youhua waved his hand: "I came to the same year, and everyone was happy, so I drank a few more glasses." ”
Xie Shi also knew that she couldn't be persuaded, so she sighed and turned around and went into the small kitchen, she wanted to make sobering soup for Su Youhua herself.
There were only two fathers and daughters in the house, Su Youhua took out his sleeves for a long time, and took out a gift box: "Your fourth brother Gu gave you a New Year's gift......
The small sandalwood box is hollowed out and carved with a twig pattern.
Bu Yi opened the box, and what caught his eye was a pair of begonia flower hairpins, which were made of enamel, with pink and white petals and faint yellow stamens.
Jin Nian sincerely admired: "It's beautiful! "Last time Gu Yanyi gave her a meeting gift, she asked the cuckoo to throw it away, this hairpin is very beautiful, do you want to keep it? However, is there a precedent for giving hairpins to people during the New Year's gifts?
Seeing that the girl's little face was happy and entangled for a while, Su Youhua's forehead jumped a little dizzy, Gu Yanyi, this kid, wouldn't he be pleasing his girl?
"What do you think...... How is Fourth Brother Gu? ”
As soon as his mind moved, Su Youhua asked directly?
Somehow, Jin Nian's heart jumped as if it had been pinched suddenly, and she thought of when she was in Huai'an, her grandmother and father had asked her: What do you think of your cousin?
Thinking of this, Jin Nian felt that he was a little incomprehensible, and it took a while to gather his mind, and he pretended to suddenly come to his senses and said, "Daddy, did you mention the fifth sister and his relatives to Fourth Brother Gu today?" ”
Su Youhua retracted his gaze at the girl, and his expression was inexplicable: "Gu Shilang said that he would not consider the personal affairs of his children for the time being, and he hoped that Scholar Gu had other ......plans" Today he said in front of Gu Yanyi that he intended to give him his daughter, and Gu Yanyi asked him with a smile which daughter he had. After hearing that it was Su Jintong, Gu Yanyi said that he had no plans to engage at present.
Scholar Gu? Jin Nian slandered, but she was afraid that her father spoke like this because she looked good on her face, and she didn't say anything, and said by the way: "How does Daddy plan to tell the fifth sister?" For Gu Yanyi, Su Jintong will not give up easily.
"Haven't thought about it yet!" Su Youhua leaned back on the circle chair a little tiredly.
Jin Nian sighed secretly, Su Jintong was so stubborn, it was embarrassing for his father!
She simply changed the topic: "Then when will you return to Huai'an?" "The appointment has not yet come down, and once the Mu leave is over, the officials have to return to the jurisdiction to wait for the appointment.
Su Youhua rubbed his forehead: "After the sixth day of the new year, your mother will go back to attend your grandfather's birthday, and we will go together then, and you will stay in the house and wait for your mother to come back." ”
And at the end, he added, "That's what your grandmother and grandmother meant!" ”
The Xie family went to Huai'an this time, mainly for the family affairs of Xie Qian and Jin Nian. Su Youhua and the old lady mentioned this family business, and the old lady let the husband and wife make the decisions, and she is still having a headache for Su Jintong's family affairs.
The husband and wife discussed it, and they both felt that since it was a matter of marriage, it would not be good for Jin Nian to follow the past, not to mention that she had just fallen seriously ill, so she simply excused herself from the two old ladies.
Jin Nian probably guessed what was going on, so he didn't say anything against his father.
It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and before Xie had time to pack his luggage, a letter came from Huai'an, and Mrs. Xie would not do it for this year's birthday, so let Xie go after Qingming.
Xie Shi muttered a little in his heart, originally her mother told her that she was going to celebrate her father's birthday, and by the way, she booked the relationship between Jinnian and Xie Qian, but now, it has to be delayed until after Qingming?
Thinking of his mother's love for her daughter and her sister-in-law's care for her daughter, Xie relieved himself.
Early in the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the mother and daughter were in front of the Hanging Flower Gate, and reluctantly sent Su Youhua to the carriage to Huai'an.
In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival passed, and the school resumed its usual reading sound.
And Su Mansion finally looked forward to the order from the capital.
Su Youlin entered the cabinet victoriously, was transferred to the household department, and concurrently served as a scholar of the Jinshen Palace, both positions were really vacant.
As for Su Youhua, the saint issued an edict that the official positions in the Lianghuai region, from the political envoy of the second grade and the salt envoy of the two Huai appointed by Beijing, to the inspection from the ninth grade, will all remain unchanged in the original post, and will be transferred after the inspection of the Qin mission!
When this order came to the Lianghuai area, it was like a scoop of cold water poured into a pot of boiling oil, causing an uproar in both the officialdom and the people.
When the cuckoo brought the news, Jin Nian only felt that there was an old blood stalk in his heart, and he couldn't spit it out, and he couldn't swallow it!
She deliberately went to Huai'an, and finally persuaded her father to transfer out of the Lianghuai region, but now that the two mouths of the saint have moved, all her efforts will be in vain!
At a glance, a discerning person knows that this is a strict investigation of the two Huai salt taxes, and the promotion and demotion of officials are all in the hands of the Qincha!
As in his previous life, his father is more likely to be transferred back to Yangzhou!
When I first said that I was moving my father, I felt that I was not sure, how could I persuade myself to change the fate of my father's previous life? Sure enough, it turned out to be a ......
Jin Nian was so anxious that he walked in the wing room and muttered to himself: "Your Majesty...... How did you come up with such a strange dictation? ”
Seeing that her sideburns were sweating, the cuckoo didn't know what was wrong with her young lady, so she hurriedly reassured her carefully: "Yangzhou's largest salt farm assassinated the eldest prince, and there was also a homeless ...... It is reasonable for the emperor to do this. ”
Jin Nian's footsteps were stunned, and even the cuckoo could see through it, why was she confused?
She sat back in her chair with a frown, trying to remember what had happened in her past life. In his previous life, his father was called back to the salt field this year, and then the salt case happened next year, after which his father was implicated and imprisoned......
In this life, the Yangzhou salt case has been cracked in advance, and my father has not returned to Yangzhou, so can it be regarded as escaping a catastrophe?
And if his father is really transferred to Yangzhou again, will he be implicated?
Jin Nian's mind was very confused, how could he not understand the causal relationship between these before and after, so he simply ordered Du Juan: "Go and let the front yard prepare the car, let's go to Jingbei Street." ”
Miss, are you going to find Gu Gongzi?
The cuckoo was shocked, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "When the young lady goes out, do you want to say hello to the old lady first?" "If the young lady in the house wants to go out, she must have the old lady's nod, otherwise the Liu family will not send her a car.
The news of Su Youlin's successful entry into the cabinet has spread all over the mansion, and when Jin Nian arrived at Ronghua Hall, almost all the masters of the Su Mansion gathered there, even Su Yousong and Su Youbai rushed back from outside, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
The old lady was discussing the celebration with her son and daughter-in-law: "I think I will invite the opera troupe to sing a big opera for a few days, and send posts to everyone in the city......
