After Miss Su got married, Su Chun also quickly changed to Tianjin and left Fengtian. The people of several palaces in the city do not want to be involved in the battle between the court and the middle, as long as the matter does not provoke them, they are just Mingzhe to protect themselves. The atmosphere in Mukden City grew gloomy.

Soon, another official who had close contacts with the former governor Yin Yuheng was found to be illegal, and with the intervention of a certain person from Beijing, he barely kept his fame, left his official position in the name of illness, and returned to his hometown with his whole family, waiting for the day when he would recover in the future. Some officials were timid and bowed to the new governor.

Many of the measures that Yu Heng had promulgated and implemented before that were well received should be continued, but for some reason, that Lord Tusan'a seemed to have an enmity against him, as if he wanted to wipe out everything he had left behind in Mukden. He did not blatantly repeal those measures, but shelved them on the pretext that they needed to be revised, and as for when they would be completed, his men said only that they had no comment.

He greatly increased the fees for the carriage settlement outside the city gate and the public carriages at the city gate, and then canceled the registration number of the carriage in the city under the pretext of "disturbing the people", so that the initial public transportation system was considered to be in vain.

Only the measures to settle the poor and beggars, he retained them out of concern for his personal reputation, but the treatment given to these people was much worse, only one meal of gruel a day, and steamed buns were not to be thought of, so that beggars gradually appeared in the streets.

For this kind of thing, Zhang Bao, Zhou Fucheng and others were all embarrassed. Everything that has been done in the past few years is now like a flash. They felt heartache and regret, but Tusang was a close confidant, and no amount of dissatisfaction could shake his position.

According to the news from the DPRK and China, the differences between Suo Etu and Mingzhu are getting bigger and bigger, and the struggle between the two factions has become increasingly hot. Chen Liangben and Tong Guowei, two adults who remain neutral, the former has become a thorn in the side of the two factions, and the latter can only be sandwiched in the middle and mud. They are already overwhelmed just by dealing with the affairs of the court, where can they take care of Fengtian City outside this pass?

Shuning also heard about these things at home on weekdays, sometimes Zhang Bao would mention it when he talked to Tong, and sometimes Duan Ning would also ask about something from friends. She just didn't understand that using such an extreme way to erase the credit of her predecessor, did the new Lord Yin burn out his brain? Yu Heng has done a good job in office, and the court has rewards, and you will abolish them all as soon as you come, isn't this saying that the court awards are wrong? If one day, the emperor finds out, maybe he will scold you for being jealous of your ability, and even if you are not, at least he will put on a hat of incompetence. The predecessor solved all the beggars, but as soon as you came, the beggars appeared again, didn't it just become evidence of your incompetence?

People who are big officials are stupid sometimes, right?

But that should be for later. For Shuning, life still has to go on.

After Su Yunzhu got married, the young ladies of the two families also left one after another, and then, the day for the Zhou family to return to Beijing was also set.

Shuning specially went to Zhou's house to say goodbye. Because the street was not as stable as before, Tong specially instructed Lao Wutou to drive her there, followed by Chun Xing and Qiu Ju.

Qiu Ju has been very calm in the past month, and she seems to have recovered from the blow, and sometimes when others laugh, she will echo two sentences, and she has worked a lot harder. Tong praised her twice, and saw that she hadn't been out since she came, so he allowed her to follow her to Zhou's house, which was considered a relaxation.

Qiu Ju packed up herself early and waited by the carriage, and the degree of positivity made Chun Xing feel embarrassed. Shuning got into the car with a black line on her face, and the four of them went to Zhou's house.

However, the Zhou Mansion was not as depressed as expected, and Mrs. Zhou even smiled and greeted Shuning, and asked her mother how she was. When Shuning and Zhou Yinlan were alone in her boudoir, they learned that although Zhou Fucheng got a bad review this year, she was finally able to leave her annoying boss, not to mention that this time she didn't leave because of sin, but returned to Beijing to report on her work after the end of her term, so Zhou Fucheng looked very open. Recently, a succession of local squires and other officials came to see him, which made him feel much better.

Zhou Yinlan no longer had the original sorrow, but she was very reluctant to leave the friend who had been with her for many years, and her eyes were red in the conversation. It is rare to find a friend who gets along well and is generous and cheerful in this era, and Shuning is also very reluctant to separate so quickly. However, she has not deeply realized the inconvenience of long-distance communication in this world, so she does not realize that she may never see this good friend again in the future, but only said that she will communicate often in the future. Zhou Yinlan choked and kept nodding, and Shuning comforted her for a while before she calmed down.

She got up and took a box from the shelf beside her, and when she opened it, there were several delicately embroidered handkerchiefs and three or four silk flowers. She handed the box to Shuning and said, "I made it myself, the craftsmanship is not good, my sister should keep a thought." ”

Shuning solemnly accepted it, then took off the small blue cloth satchel on her body, and said, "Didn't my sister say that my satchel is good, and it is convenient to carry it on my body on weekdays?" I'll give it to my sister today, let's take a look at the things inside, see if you like it or not? Zhou Yinlan opened the satchel, but found that it was the kaleidoscope she had always wanted, and she looked at Shuning in surprise.

Shu Ning smiled and said, "When I gave it to Sister Yunzhu of the Su family, you were very envious, I made this one carefully, and it was even better than hers." "This kaleidoscope craftsmanship is indeed better, and the outer layer of paste paper is colorful, is Shuning specially twisted the tough cotton paper into a twist shape, and then stained with different colors of pigments, according to the dyeing cloth dyeing method, the irregular pattern shows brilliant colors, particularly eye-catching.

Zhou Yinlan couldn't put it down when she saw it, looked at Shuning with red eyes, then hugged her, and began to cry again: "Good sister, I know that you are the most caring and good child, and my sister will never forget you in her life." It made Shuning and the maids present wet their eyes.

After coming out of the Zhou family, Shuning glanced at Chunxing in the carriage and asked hesitantly: "I gave Sister Zhou a kaleidoscope today, will you feel unhappy?" Chun Xing was taken aback, but soon understood, and said with a smile: "The girl has already given me one, although it is not as beautiful as that, I also like it very much, and I will not be jealous of others." Shuning also smiled happily. The one that sent Chunxing was just made of white paper, she didn't mind, of course it was the best.

At this time, the old man's scolding and a few unfamiliar male voices came from outside the carriage, and they looked a little angry. Shu Ning was stunned, listened carefully, and realized that it was a few characters such as Changsui, and when he saw the beauty of Qiu Ju, who had not yet gotten into the car, he said something teasing in his mouth. I only heard someone shouting: "The little lady is so good-looking, why should she be the maid of such a small family?" It's better to follow me and keep what you want to eat and drink spicy. Several men next to him also chimed in.

Qiu Ju He had heard this kind of thing, and scolded angrily: "What are you? Dare to say such a thing? Is there any royal law? "What royal law? Tell you, my father is the housekeeper of the palace of Jianjun County, the Zhou family is useless now, and the Zhang family is almost finished, just a small general sentence, can you still fight against Fu Yin? Can you still fight the prime minister? The little lady still got rid of me early. The old man was so angry that he scolded on the side.

Shuning heard that there was a word "Zhang" on the lantern hanging on her carriage, presumably the hooligan mistakenly thought it was the carriage of Zhang Tong's family, so he dared to come to spread wild. She knew that she was the only one who was the master at the moment, so she immediately opened the curtain and stood out, and said sharply: "Whose family is spreading wild here?!" ”

The hooligan was stunned for a moment, saw that it was just a little girl, and was about to make a mockery, but found that Shuning was wearing a flag suit, so he hesitated. The old Wu head scolded: "Blind your dog's eyes! We are under the red flag of his family, who are you scolding is about to be finished? ”

Those people were startled, if they were really nobles, it was not something that their little clothed slaves could afford, so they became timid. The one at the head was the one who was flirting with Qiu Ju, and he was a little unwilling, so he stiffened his mouth and said, "So what?" My father is the housekeeper of the Jianjun Palace......"

Shu Ning immediately interrupted him: "I didn't know that the Jianjun Palace, the Mansion Yin, and the Prime Minister of the Dynasty were originally the same family?!" Otherwise, how could the steward of the palace dare to take advantage of their momentum? ”

The man was about to speak: "You ......" but a cold voice came to stop: "Bold minion! Don't stop yet! The man looked back, and his legs were weak with fright, and he only whispered, "Little master......"

The young man looked like he was only eleven or twelve years old, about the same age as Duan Ning, and it seemed that he had just passed by by inadvertently and saw this scene. Although he was a little blind, he didn't intend to interfere, just regarded it as a trivial matter, but now he heard this little girl say this, so he had to stop. In any case, people like them cannot be dragged into the struggle of the imperial court, and they cannot even have a little gossip.

He stepped forward, kicked the hooligan to the side, and said to Shuning: "Our palace has nothing to do with those two, and the little girl must not talk nonsense." Fang is the rude people in my family, and I will give you the sin for them. ”

Shuning knew that it was already rare for this kind of prince and grandson to bow his head, so he didn't say much, blessed him, and said, "In this case, please ask your mansion to discipline your own minions." Then he turned his head to look at Qiu Ju and Lao Wutou: "Get in the car!" Go home! ”

Qiu Ju and Lao Wu Tou saw their own girl so imposing for the first time, how could they dare to speak out? Those who immediately got in the car got into the car, and those who rushed the car hurried away.

When the scoundrel saw that they were walking fast, he laughed and fell close to his little master, and said, "Look at their bear-like appearance, they dare to fight with us...... but unexpectedly he was kicked by the young man again. The boy scolded, "Useless things! I don't want to see you in the future, so pack up and roll with your father tomorrow! He didn't care that the man held his leg and begged for mercy, but kicked him again, and then walked away.
