"Young master, someone in Beijing sent a letter." Aoki came in and said.

"Biography." Du Jinning shouted.

Soon, two dusty people walked in behind Liu Daqing.

"Master Liu, is that you?" Du Jinning saw the man in front of him and couldn't help but stand up in surprise.

The person who came was none other than the Qi family's nursing home, Liu Gao, who had originally taught Du Jinning kung fu.

And following Liu Gao was a guard by Zhuang Yue's side, named Liao Ming.

"Why did you two get here?" She asked curiously.

The two glanced at each other, and Liu Gao said: "We met on the way at noon, so we walked together." ”

Liao Ming has some kung fu, Zhuang Yue bought him as early as when he was in Gui Province to help run errands by his side, and Liu Gao knew him.

Du Jinning smiled and invited the two to sit down, and then instructed Aoki: "Let people prepare hot water, and then prepare meals." ”

Liu Gao thanked him, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Du Jinning: "My young master's letter." ”

"Thank you Master Liu." Du Jinning took it and looked at Liao Ming, who also hurriedly handed over Zhuang Yue's letter.

"Anyway, you won't be able to go back to the capital until tomorrow at the earliest, so take a good rest now." Du Jinning said.

As she spoke, she asked Liu Gao: "The conditions here are simple, why don't you ask someone to send you back to the city to rest after eating?" ”

"Don't bother." Liu Gao waved his hand and said, "Where you are, we will go." If you go back to the city tonight, we'll go back with you; If you live here, we'll live here together. ”

As he spoke, he added: "I will go back to the capital with Liao Ming tomorrow morning, and my young master is anxious to see the reply." The same is true for the shopkeeper of the village. ”

Liao Ming nodded.

"Okay, let's stay here." Du Jinning said, turned his head and instructed Aoki, "Ask someone to clean up the two rooms for Master Liu and Liao Ming." ”

The courtyard on the Zhuangzi where she lives now is not large and the house is dilapidated, but the number of rooms is still enough, and it is no problem for Liu Gao and Liao Mingteng to come out.

Seeing that the two of them followed Aoki, Du Jinning opened Qi Muyuan's letter and read it.

Although Qi Muyuan had never come to visit Du Jinning, the two corresponded frequently. Letters are sent almost every five or six days, and at least ten days when it is inconvenient. In ancient times, when transportation was inconvenient, their communication frequency was very outrageous.

Seeing Qi Muyuan blaming himself for reporting good news and not bad news, Du Jinning couldn't help but smile.

Worried that Qi Muyuan ran to Runzhou desperately and missed the big event handed over to him by the emperor, Du Jinning was angry in Runzhou, so he didn't dare to tell Qi Muyuan at all. That's why Qi Muyuan said this.

In the letter, Qi Muyuan said that the busy business some time ago has come to an end. So five days later, he planned to take a day off from the emperor, plus a day off, he planned to go to Runzhou to visit Du Jinning. In addition, the new Zhizhou and Tongzhi will arrive the day after tomorrow, and I hope she can arrange her official affairs in advance. The letter also included information about the new governor and Tongzhi.

When he saw Zhizhou's name, Du Jinning's eyebrows were raised.

Kwan Jiatian.

This name doesn't have the same name and surname, right?

Guan Lehe's son, according to his generation, is called "Guan Jia", which is not up to him. But the last word was decided by him, and he came out of the moth, and directly used the four words "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" to make the last word.

That is to say, the eldest is called Guan Jiatian, the second is called Guan Jiadi, the third is called Guan Jiaxuan, and the fourth is called Guan Jiahuang.

Du Jinning felt that the name of the third child was normal, and the others felt weird.

She also laughed at Guan Lehe at the time, saying that he was too casual and lazy in naming him, and directly used the first sentence of "Thousand Character Text" to call "heaven and earth", and she was not afraid of violating the taboo of the emperor.

At that time, Guan Lehe also said a lot of words and quoted classics, which means that if the emperor misunderstands these names, there is no article, and he has not even read through the "Thousand Character Text", so he has to go back to Taixue to reread the book.

For such a teacher, Du Jinning is also helpless.

Now when she sees the words "Guan Jiatian", she remembers the original scene, and while she misses her teacher, she can't help but suspect that this person is the senior brother she has never met.

With Zhao Yu and Qi Bokun's care for her, this is really very possible.

And Qi Muyuan knew the same person named Tao Huahui in the back, and he couldn't wait to explain the eighteen generations of his ancestors clearly. But for this "Guan Jiatian", except for his name, nothing else was mentioned.

Qi Muyuan, this guy, is getting more and more skinny now.

Du Jinning smiled, folded Qi Muyuan's letter and put it aside, and then opened Zhuang Yue's letter and read it.

The last time Cao Hongshou and the Chen family impeached Du Jinning, Zhuang Yue was reminded by Qi Muyuan, quickly took emergency measures in Beijing, and sent someone to send a letter to ask Du Jinning's opinion, and Du Jinning highly affirmed his approach.

This time, Zhuang Yue reported that "The Story of Farming" had begun to be sold, and the flower shop's flower basket business had also returned to normal, and nothing had happened. Now that the newspaper has been typeset, a printed copy of the newspaper is attached to her for her to see.

Zhuang Yue said in the letter that he had shown this newspaper to Qi Bokun, and Qi Bokun vaguely said that the emperor felt that this newspaper was doing well.

Du Jinning put down the letter, opened the newspaper, looked up and down, and nodded.

The layout is concise and generous, the content is full and peaceful, which is exactly what she wants, and the handwriting is very clear - now this printing workshop, but Du Jinning is newly opened, using the method she provided, Zhuang Yue let the craftsmen test countless times, and finally fired the lead-containing lead typesetting typesetting.

Even the corrugated dividers were printed very clearly on the newspaper, which made Du Jinning feel very close.

She picked up the pen and wrote replies to Qi Muyuan and Zhuang Yue respectively.

……

On the evening of the second day after seeing off Liu Gao and Liao Ming, Du Jinning received Guan Jiatian, the new governor of Zhizhou, and Tao Huahui, a fellow intellectual, at the city gate.

Du Jinning hadn't seen Guan Jiatian, but he still recognized him at a glance.

Guan Jiatian is twenty-nine years old this year, and he doesn't look like his father Guan Lehe, but he is very similar to his mother Lu.

He was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of nineteen, and then released to be a magistrate; His promotion in the officialdom is not fast or slow, before he came to Runzhou to be a governor, he was a Tongzhi in a state in Jin Province, and now he has been promoted by one level.

Tongzhi Tao Huahui is in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance, but his eyes are upright. When he entered the city, he got off the carriage and talked and laughed with Guan Jiatian, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.

He was transferred from Lu Province, and it was originally a county order, and it was evaluated as excellent for two consecutive years. When he left office this time, the people spontaneously sent him an umbrella, which shows that he is very popular in the local area and is a good official.

Seeing that the two of them had entered the city, Du Jinning greeted them and arched his hand to the two: "Lord Guan, Lord Tao, Du Jinning has been waiting here for a long time." ”

The two were stunned for a moment, then raised their heads and looked at Du Jinning carefully.

After seeing Du Jinning's appearance clearly, Guan Jiatian's brows furrowed: "You are Du Jinning?" ”

Du Jinning nodded and said, "Exactly." But I was puzzled in my heart: the senior brother didn't seem to like her very much?
