Chapter 235: Promotion
Fu Tingyun was so shocked that he almost jumped off the kang: "What did you say?" The ninth master is the chief soldier of Guizhou? Why didn't anyone tell me? ”
Yan Qing looked at her timidly, and did not change his word.
Her wish is to be able to stay with Zhao Ling.
No wonder Zhao Ling said a lot of words as soon as he saw her.
Fu Tingyun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He knew what she wanted, and how could she not know what he wanted.
Perhaps because of the loss of life since childhood, Zhao Ling takes her and her children very seriously, no matter how busy she is with business, she will definitely write a letter back every ten days: as long as she has the opportunity, she will strive to return to Kyoto and reunite with them: if she returns home, she will be pushed away from the entertainment that does not matter, and she and the children will be accompanied at home, or take them out for a walk......
Xuanfu is only a dozen days away from Kyoto, when Mo Yi invited Zhao Ling to be his deputy, in the face of the emperor's inquiry, Zhao Ling politely refused, not to mention that Guizhou is so far away, even if it is promoted, it may not be Zhao Ling willing to go. Fu Tingyun is still sure of this.
Zhao Ling was also too cautious.
Although she wants her husband to stay by her side, she is not an unreasonable person, so will she blame him for this?
The thought flashed, and Fu Tingyun's expression was slightly sluggish.
Wrong.
Zhao Ling is the person who knows her best in this world, what would she think, how could he not know? He didn't have to look weak in front of her at all.
Or, what's so strange about it?
Fu Tingyun thought of everyone's praise for Zhao Ling these days...... Her heart was pounding at once.
Isn't he, isn't this an ordinary promotion, but for him to go to war......
It is suspected that Fu Tingyun has been sitting still.
I couldn't wait to call Zhao Ling immediately to ask for an understanding.
There was a surprised and happy voice from the fifth cousin in his ears: "The ninth brother-in-law has been promoted to the chief soldier of Guizhou?" It's true? When did this happen? We've been back for so long, why can't we hear a word? He's so calm! He added, "There are no outsiders here, do you tell us that we are afraid that we will lose the way by yelling everywhere?" While laughing, she found that Fu Tingyun and Yanqing's expressions were a little wrong, she suddenly stopped the topic, and said in amazement: "Ninth sister, out, what's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Fu Tingyun didn't want the fifth cousin to worry, "I just heard about this matter." ”
The fifth cousin married into the Yao family for only a few years, and participated in the affairs of the Yao family as a female streamer, and she was also an extremely clever person. It's just that the sisters have gotten along with each other since childhood, and they are not used to using the outside set on the people around them.
Hearing this, he thought for a moment that Zhao Ling's promotion next year might not be a happy event, so he kept silent and didn't mention it again. But when the fifth brother-in-law and Zhao Ling came back in the evening, she immediately sent all the servants around her and asked about Zhao Ling's promotion: "...", do you know? ”
The fifth brother-in-law showed a sudden expression: "Could it be that Ye San's shopkeeper congratulated the ninth brother-in-law, it turned out to be for this matter." He added, "But at that time, the ninth brother-in-law didn't want to talk more, and Ye San's shopkeeper didn't mention it again, I thought they had something to avoid me, and I also found a reason to go to the thatched house." He said, strangely, "Promotions are a good thing, aren't they?" Why is the ninth brother-in-law secret? Could it be that the official document has not come down yet? That's not right! Lord Wu in Shaanxi knew about it, so it can be seen that this matter has long been made public...", but why didn't he keep quiet? Guizhou is so far away, there are many barbarians, and the location is remote...... Could it be that the ninth brother-in-law was assigned there......"
The fifth cousin only felt that the more her husband talked about her, the more confused she became, so she simply called her mother: "The ninth brother-in-law has been promoted to the chief soldier of Guizhou, but the ninth sister is not happy, you go out tomorrow to inquire and see what is going on." ”
Mom stepped back.
The fifth cousin sat in front of the combing table, combing her hair without a pair.
The ninth sister is already bumpy enough, but she can't encounter any more bad things.
The fifth brother-in-law was excited about the situation when Zhao Ling took him to see Ye San's shopkeeper today.
He sat down next to his fifth cousin with some excitement, his eyes bright and dazzling.
"Why didn't you ask me about going to see Ye San's shopkeeper today?" He couldn't help but be a little happy and gushed, "Let me tell you, the relationship between the ninth brother-in-law and Ye San's shopkeeper is really good, as soon as I heard that the ninth brother-in-law is here, Ye San's shopkeeper was talking about business with the owner of the Xiangtong number, and you also know that the Xiangtong number is the largest pewter merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. Ye San's shopkeeper left the owner of the Xiangtong number and hurriedly greeted us, and invited us all the way to his small study behind his semicolon, Ye San's two sons came out to meet the ninth brother-in-law, and called the ninth brother-in-law 'uncle,' Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh "You don't know, the eldest son of the Ye shopkeeper looks two or three years older than the ninth brother-in-law, I really wanted to ask him Shenggeng, it can be seen that he saluted the ninth brother-in-law with a respectful face, knowing that I and the ninth brother-in-law are brothers-in-law, and respectfully called me 'uncle'" I'm a little embarrassed to ask......"
The fifth cousin listened angrily and funny.
Don't say what should be said, and say everything that shouldn't be said.
Her mind was full of Fu Tingyun's expression when she was worried, where did she bother to listen to him say this. asked him with a smile: "You just tell me that Ye San's shopkeeper knows that you are the ninth brother-in-law, and even what did he say?" Rest, more on that later. ”
The fifth brother-in-law was a little displeased when he heard this, and said: "The shopkeeper Ye treats us like this, it's all for the sake of the ninth brother-in-law's face, how can you not care about the reason for the matter, and just blindly ask what our family has gotten good?" ”
The fifth cousin couldn't laugh or cry. I had to say patiently: "Didn't I look at the sky too late, afraid that you would have something to do tomorrow, so let's make a long story short?" Then he said, "Then tell me, what did you say?" ”
The fifth brother-in-law looked slightly gloomy at this time, but he no longer dwelled on those details, and told the fifth cousin the promise of Ye San's shopkeeper: "...... In the future, our Yao family can directly get the goods from Datong, and they will all sell them to us at the lowest discounted price. ”
Even if the fifth cousin was worried about Fu Tingyun in her heart, she couldn't help but be overjoyed after listening to the words of the fifth brother-in-law.
The Yao family is doing groceries in the north and south, and the Datong also does, and because it has its own fleet, the variety is very complete, but the business of the Datong has been getting better and better over the years, and the energy is mainly in the silver building, money village, Caoyun, shipping and other businesses, and the groceries are only wholesale. Although the Yao family is a big family in Lintong, it is not even a big merchant in the eyes of Datong, so how can it be possible to get a better discount?
Now that there is a Datong as the backing, I dare not say anything else, it is only a matter of time before the Yao family gains a foothold in Xi'an Mansion.
The husband is not the material for being an official, even if he comes out of the imperial examination, he may not have a tree in his career, and he may be affected by those bad habits in the officialdom to take concubines and raise children, which is better than now, monogamy, love and love, and the children are their own.
The fifth cousin had already made up her mind not to force her husband, and wanted to recite poems and paint, raise flowers and grass at home according to his temperament.
It's just that in this way, as the children grow older and want to study and start a career, the parents-in-law have to see a doctor and take medicine when they are old, and they can't make money from the official business, and it is a little difficult to keep this family business.
And now with Zhao Ling's recommendation, she can slowly start the Yao family's business.
The fifth cousin couldn't help but dance and said, "I'll write a letter to my mother-in-law and tell her about this old man." "I also casually let the elders in the family know that this is all her sister-in-law's help. At that time, she and Fu Tingyun have come and go, and even if the old man hears any gossip, it is difficult to say anything.
The fifth brother-in-law didn't think about it so much. I just feel that since I have received Zhao Ling's favor, I naturally want to say hello to the elders in the family, and I can repay one or two when I have the opportunity in the future. He nodded in agreement, and said, "I will also write a letter to my father and tell him about this old man." ”
The fifth cousin naturally did not object, and personally helped the fifth brother-in-law polish the ink, wrote two letters, and then the couple lay on the bed and longed for most of the night, until the upper and lower eyelids fought, and the topic was stopped.
The next day, after breakfast, the mother of the fifth cousin replied: "...... It is said that the barbarians on the Guizhou side rebelled, and several county orders died due to the siege. The emperor was furious and personally ordered the ninth aunt to go to Guizhou as a general soldier to fight with those barbarians. Aunt Nine was afraid that Aunt Nine would be worried, so he didn't dare to say anything......"
"Who are you listening to?" The fifth cousin was stunned.
"Everybody knows." The mother said, "It is said that it is a special decree of the emperor, and it will leave after the third day of the first lunar month." Mrs. Nine has already instructed Miss Yuwei to pack up the box for Aunt Nine. ”
The fifth brother-in-law listened and nodded: "Ninth brother-in-law, this is really good...... If you really can't do it, you just need to resign. ”
Fu Tingyun is afraid that his heart is in chaos now.
The fifth cousin was afraid that her husband would say something inappropriate in front of Fu Tingyun and Zhao Ling, so she hurriedly pulled her husband: "We are all ordinary people, how do we know about officialdom?" Don't come up with any ideas, it will be bad if you hurt the ninth brother-in-law. ”
The fifth brother-in-law was taken aback when he heard this, and he felt that it made sense when he thought about it, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know the severity." ”
The husband never broke his promise.
The fifth cousin breathed a sigh of relief and asked the mother, "What is Mrs. Nine doing now?" ”
Let's go over and help!
"I'm talking to Aunt Nine in the inner room!" After the mother finished speaking, she hesitated, "Or maybe the master has been hiding it from Mrs. Jiu before, but now Mrs. Jiu knows and is angry, and Aunt Jiu is giving Mrs. Jiu a gift, so Miss Big Cousin and Young Master Big Watch were hugged by the people who served close and played in the ear room!" ”
"No nonsense." Even if this is the case, this kind of thing can't be said, otherwise what Fu Tingyun will become, the fifth cousin scolded her mother, "Aunt Nine is going to Guizhou soon, it's thousands of miles away, it's inconvenient to pass through, and you have to explain the affairs of the family...... How do you think about all the mess? ”
The mother didn't dare to plead, so she was busy whispering and admitting her mistake.
Only then did the fifth cousin's face soften and let her retreat.
The woman couldn't help muttering in her heart: I didn't say that...... It was the maid named Pearl who said that she had leaked her mouth......
The holiday notice for the National Day has come out, and I have to rest for eight days...... Everyone else was planning to hang out, and I was hiding in the corner and counting how many ~~~~~~ I could write
