Chapter Eighty-Six: Complicated Matters
When Lin Tianyu came, he brought the will of the Holy Lord's ruling and sentenced the Yanyun family to exile for thousands of miles.
Mrs. Weaving and Banxia went to see them off together: "Fortunately, the family's life can be saved, and if they encounter any grace in a few years, they will be able to come back, but the conditions in Western Xinjiang are more difficult." ”
"It's already a blessing to have a life, but it's hard for the two of you to take care of it." Since their family was imprisoned, Song Mingyuan and Gan Sui have been running up and down, and they have not suffered from the abuse of servants in prison. They are very grateful for this. What's more, now, they have already taken care of the accompanying officials, which is a great kindness.
"Okay, it's not too early, don't talk about this, let's get together again when you come back."
Banxia and Mrs. Weaving watched them leave, and on the city tower in the distance, Gan Sui and Lin Tianyu stood together.
"What are you thinking?" Lin Tianyu looked at Gan Sui alone.
"I'm thinking, I don't want my wife and children to end up like this."
Lijing did have a set of cases, and with a few clues, he quickly touched the garden. There was only one person left in the garden, the big shopkeeper, who had seen the ups and downs, and he didn't let go at all, and the case was deadlocked.
Gan Sui didn't care about these things, he just asked these salt merchants for silver. The tax that was lacking last year must be returned. But now you haven't made a mistake, you must know that no matter how expensive the silver is, it will not be more expensive than your life, so it must be doubled.
The salt merchants thought that the salt shop would not open the market in their prison, and the people would make a fuss, and Na Cheng thought that there were still a lot of salt hoards in the salt gang, and there were so many experts in business on the Confucian family's side that the entire market began to operate in good condition in less than half a day.
The salt merchants ate rouge rice on weekdays, drank rose honey, wore golden clothes, lived in pavilions and pavilions, and wanted to grit their teeth and help endure it when they entered the prison at first glance. Gan Sui was not in a hurry, he was hungry for two meals first, and then gave them some gruel that could show their faces. Pity a bunch of rich businessmen with fat brains, grumbling with hunger, and having to endure cockroaches and rats crawling around.
After not staying up for two days, some people couldn't hold on, and Gan Sui was not in a hurry to dry them for another half a day, and then he began to talk about the conditions. Those who come to pay taxes first must be discounted, and the further back they go, the more they will naturally pay. The group of people all wanted to rush to hand it over, and piles of silver poured into the prefect's treasury like water. The soldiers who carried the silver walked with fluttering. When the salt merchants finally paid the money and went home, the deal was a loss. When they were the first to go, they could go home directly as long as they made up the taxes, but they wanted to give the prefect a bar, but they didn't expect that most of the family property would be gone.
The master in the mansion, Tongzhi all went into battle, and one by one experienced the feeling of counting the money to the cramps in his hands, and when all the silver was counted, he was willing to send them with a seal and sent them on the way back to Beijing, which was a matter of heart.
I went home at night and hugged my wife's affection, and after the cloud and rain, he joked that he counted the silver all day long, and he didn't know that he thought the silver was his wife.
"How can silver have a wife's fragrance, look at this skin...... This lip ...... This eyebrow ...... It's really dead to you. Banxia didn't expect him to stop for a while, and then make trouble again. I pushed it twice and couldn't resist, but I could only say that it was painful and happy.
Lin Tianyu followed Lijing to handle the case, Lijing is really a workaholic, and he can turn it up immediately when he thinks of anything in the middle of the night, Lin Tianyu was tossed and cried bitterly, and finally took a break to let other people follow him, and ran to Gan Sui's house to tease Yuhuai and Streamer.
The two children were learning to speak when they chased after him and shouted, "Uncle! "A louder than a loud one. When I was young, Streamer was still a quiet character, and the more I grew up, the more naughty I became. Wearing a small skirt woven with gold yarn, she runs like a little butterfly.
Lin Tianyu looks rough and big-hearted, but he didn't expect to tease the children, one set is another, and within two days, the children liked this uncle to the extent that they liked their parents. Eat and follow, go to the garden to follow, and laughter is heard from time to time when playing, Banxia watched them play with the pot on the side, the two children did not have enough wrist strength, and the accuracy was not good, and they were a little bit worse several times. It is this frustration that makes the two children more and more energetic the more they play. Banxia was tired of standing next to him, but the three of them were still in high spirits.
"Okay, come over for some water and some snacks."
The two children played another game, and then came over for a snack.
Banxia saw Lin Tianyu's sweat in his head, and asked Xiangyu to hand him a handkerchief to wipe it: "I didn't expect you to have a good time with the children." ”
"The two of them are very interesting, I like them."
"I like how to have a child and I can't get married, and I want to have my own child." Gan Sui walked in and happened to take over the conversation.
"It's almost time, you will be able to drink my wedding wine next year."
"Really?" Banxia is very happy for him, Lin Tianyu is already twenty-six or seventeen, and in ancient times, this was really an older unmarried leftover man. "Which girl is it, have you seen it, how does it look?"
"It's Kasayasu's cousin. Looks ...... That's it, but the temperament is good, and the food is delicious. ”
Banxia looked at his face of being obsessed with love, and his face was full of shyness. "When is the marriage due?"
"Around the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, the emperor asked the people of Qin Tianjian to choose a date, and I haven't decided it when I come out."
"Ah, then we can't drink this cup of wine, so we can only congratulate you when we go back to Beijing to report on work. I'll go to the street to take a look in the past few days, not to mention that there are a lot of things that girls like on the interface in Yangzhou, and when the time comes, you can bring more back to please her. ”
"I'm trying to buy her something, and I haven't had time to do it, so it's great if you can help pick it out. However, there should be no problem with drinking happy wine, and the emperor means that when the situation of salt merchants in Yangzhou is stable in the spring of next year, he will be transferred back. ”
"But we've only been here for two years?" Gan Sui thinks about it, and feels that he has risen too fast in the past few years, "I'm afraid it's a little unreasonable." ”
"It's already a great achievement to send back so much silver this time, and the old fox has been making a lot of moves lately. The current Taifu has already handed over the fold, saying that he is old and frail and wants to return to his hometown to care for the elderly. Whoever is the emperor in this stall is not very relieved, so he can only pick you back in advance. But this is what we say privately, and it is still uncertain how things will change at that time. ”
"Don't say it, I really don't want to go back to the capital, the current officialdom is already in crisis, let alone being in the center of imperial power at that time."
"You can't escape, none of us can escape, there is no way back, we can only move forward."
They are not the only ones who have no way out, there are too many people along the way, and I feel that the road ahead is not so terrible.
"Uncle, play, Daddy, play ......"
The adults are discussing heavy topics, and the children don't pay attention to them, they just play happily.
What Lijing found out, outsiders don't know, he is directly under the imperial front, only knows that there is about a big harvest. At noon before leaving, at the send-off banquet, the straight face that was usually straight softened. After the banquet, he found Gan Sui for the first time: "Yesterday, I saw that the cloth you bought for Tianyu was very good, I want to bring some to my wife, can you tell me where you bought it?" ”
Gan Sui didn't expect that this adult was looking for himself for the first time, but it was actually for a private matter, "That's the insider to buy, if the adult needs, I'll let her pick another one." ”
"That's troublesome Madame. My wife likes to wear small floral styles, especially lilacs. I like lighter colors...... I heard that the rouge gouache in Yangzhou Jiyunfang is good, and I don't know which ones girls like to use, can I also trouble Mrs. Zun to help pick some ......"
For the first time, Gan Sui saw this penal secretary who cherished words like gold, and talked endlessly about what his wife liked. Pushing oneself and others, about the person who loves his wife, is not a bad person.
It took Banxia an afternoon to buy all the things that Kasa Jing needed, and the lord looked at them the same, and finally thanked him again and again, and gave the silver to step into the carriage on the way back.
Lin Tianyu's days became even busier after they left, and there were not many days left for him by the Holy Lord. In this period of time, he wants to straighten out the salt shop that was in a mess some time ago. The weaving master is not much better than him, in addition to the salt season, the current days are not only the salt season, but also to the capital to pay tribute to the summer clothes and autumn clothes of the material, the two often work overtime together until late at night, and then look at each other, being an official is really not a human thing.
Song Mingyuan's house was also a mess. Some time ago, Song Yunjuan had already decided to break off with Gongsun Yuqing, and devoted herself to embroidering the dowry in the house.
Later, I don't know which one didn't have long eyes to poke the news of Gongsun Yuqing's death into her ears, it was like a bolt from the blue. I heard others say in private that Gongsun Yuqing's death was related to his parents, which was surprisingly angry. She was already willing to obey her parents' orders, but her parents still didn't let go of her lover, and she couldn't even think of martyrdom for a while. Fortunately, the maid found it early, and the weaving lady was simply crying without tears. She didn't want to mention it again, she always felt that no matter how many sins people had died, they had been taken away with death, but she didn't expect her daughter to be an infatuated species. I had no choice but to break down the facts one by one and tell her the facts.
Song Yunjuan was suspected of her father and mother deceiving people before, and later Banxia testified to her that she was eavesdropping when she was in the mountain temple. Song Yunjuan couldn't believe that she was in love with her heart and almost decided that she would be such a hypocrite for the rest of her life, and she fell ill in a fit of anger.
The heart is stagnant, and the illness comes like a mountain, and this illness is several months.
Han Tongzhi's wife asked for a sign in the mountain temple that day, and began to ask the matchmaker to inquire, and I don't know if it was really a fateful marriage. This photo actually has the feeling of love at first sight.
The man who rescued her asked people to propose marriage on the second day, he was the manager of the river defense battalion, he was already a five-grade at a young age, and his family background was noble, Mrs. Han Tongzhi asked someone to inquire and inquire, and she didn't say anything bad about this man, so she began to settle down. Xu is mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law more and more interesting, and Mrs. Tongzhi smiles every time she mentions this fast son-in-law.
It's been a mess for a year, and I've finally heard good news, and Banxia is happy for her. The two families are very satisfied, and the day is set quickly, in the spring of the second year, and after drinking the wedding wine, they will set foot on the road to the capital in the middle of the summer.
