Dongxing's official position was indeed raised to another level, and Wen Yi was not the same, but he was extremely happy with the jurisdiction where he was going to be transferred and stationed.

Kangnan Garrison, located less than 100 miles south of Kangcheng, is only a three-day walk from Pingyang, if you take the waterway, it will take more than half a day's work, she travels there with the east, and it is very convenient for her to go back to her mother's house or communicate with her mother's family.

Therefore, as soon as Dongxing received the holy decree, Wen Yi generously rewarded the little eunuch who came to issue the decree, and a group of palace envoys left with a smile, saying a lot of good things, even the forbidden soldiers who escorted the palace envoys to come, and even praised General Xiaoliu for his kindness and generosity, and sympathy.

After sending off the palace envoys, Wen Yiyan announced with a smile that all the people in the family would be rewarded, and they would have to add vegetables for dinner, and everyone cheered, only Dongxing looked at the holy decree and thought about it.

Mrs. Lu held the girl, glanced at him, was silent, and then smiled at Wen Yi: "I'll go back to the house to rest first, this old bone has been inactive for a long time, and it is really going to fall apart, you come to me in a while, I have something to tell you." ”

Wen Yi responded, respectfully sent her grandmother away, looked back and saw the appearance of the eastbound, and had doubts in her heart, so she walked over and asked in a whisper, "What's wrong with Xianggong?" But what's wrong with this purpose? "Wouldn't it? The garrison general is in charge alone, which is much better than being idle in Beijing. Although she is familiar with the garrison generals, there is only one master, Luo Si, and Luo Si is from the fifth grade at that time, but Liu Dongxing is this garrison general, and the grade is not low. In the peaceful years, only such a military general who guards one side can be regarded as a good future.

Liu Dongxing smiled: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect to be transferred there." It's not a bad thing, at least it's close to your mother's house, and it's convenient to go back to relatives. ”

Hearing him say this, Wen Yi felt guilty, as soon as she heard that he was going to Kangnan, she only cared about her own happiness, and ignored his thoughts for a while. Thinking about Liu Dongxing, who grew up in Heng'an since he was a child, and many of his friends and acquaintances are in the capital, he must be separated from his relatives and friends for thousands of miles at this time, so he must not feel good, right? She hurriedly said: "I was negligent and forgot your feelings. It's a very foreign place to you, not to mention you, and I don't know the bottom of it. ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "What are you talking about? I also went to school in Cannes for a few years, although I have never been to Kangnan, but I have heard of the customs there, and it is a rich place, and it is not as noisy as Cannes, it is clear and quiet, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is better than other places. Speaking of Kangnan, this garrison was originally set up to govern King Kang, right? Now that there is no King Kang, he still keeps it, mostly to protect the port of Kangcheng. That area is a rich land, even when there was a disaster last year, the people there did not lack food and clothing, and the people made trouble in Pingnan, and it could not spread further south, which shows that it is much more peaceful than Pingyang and Pingyin. I went, but not only for the sake of happiness? ”

Having said that, Wen Yi always felt that something was wrong when she heard it, but she couldn't think of anything wrong for a while. Liu Dongxing took her hand and walked into the main hall: "Don't think about it so much, let's first offer the holy decree, and three incense sticks in the morning and evening, so as to be worthy of the kindness of the saint." ”

Wen Yi glanced at him with disgust, turned around and instructed his family to clean up the offering table, solemnly offered the holy decree, burned incense, and silently prayed for the emperor's health and early recovery. After worshipping, she got up, and when she turned around, she found that Liu Dongxing had gone nowhere, and asked the girl, but said that she had gone out to visit friends. Wen Yi stomped her feet, sighed again, and went straight to find her grandmother without mentioning it.

When she arrived at the West Wing, Mrs. Lu only asked a few words of the holy decree to be enshrined, and then sent out all the people around her, and even Mama Zhao did not stay. Wen Yi was suspicious in her heart, and she also became nervous: "Grandmother, is there really a problem with the holy decree?" Xianggong was also weird when he heard it. ”

Mrs. Lu said: "There is no problem with the holy decree, Dongxing has been promoted to an official, and a local general has been transferred, and he is young to have such a future, which is a rare talent in this dynasty." If you complain like this, it will only make people laugh. ”

Wen Yi put her mind at ease and said with a smile: "I said, the words in the holy decree don't sound bad, but seeing my grandmother and Xianggong have solemn faces, it makes me worried." ”

Old Madam Lu sighed: "At the moment, it is naturally excellent, but there is one thing, although the garrison on Kangnan's side did not say anything on the surface, but there are several people in the court, and it was set up to govern King Kang's mansion." ”

Wen Yi nodded: "Granddaughter knows, it's like the garrison in Jinnan, which was set up to govern King Zheng's mansion." ”

Old Madam Lu looked at her: "But King Kang's Mansion is gone, King Kang has been dead for several years, and the prince has not been knighted, but has been demoted by one rank and stayed in the capital, but it is just an ordinary clan." ”

Wen Yi was stunned for a moment, and her expression sank.

"If it is a garrison general stationed near the prince's domain of the clan, it is naturally a promising future, and it is impossible for non-imperial cronies to be competent, but now King Kang's Mansion is a yellow flower of tomorrow, and the area is rich, and there are even few people and bandits, and it is very likely that being a resident general there will be steadily regarded as a few decades, and there will be no chance to make meritorious contributions." Old Madam Lu said lightly, "As a military general, if you can't make meritorious contributions, it will be difficult to be promoted, if he has a helping hand in the court, it's fine, but how can the Bachelor's Mansion help him?" Not to mention that their family is not able to protect themselves. Even if there is another war in northern Xinjiang, how many generals can fight in the DPRK and China? And how many generals are stationed in the garrisons of the world? Kangnan is in the south, thousands of miles away, and it is still unknown whether the adults in the court can remember him. If it were unfortunate that he had gone to Connan at the age of eighteen, he would have stayed there until he was old. ”

Wen Yi sat there silently, thinking for a moment, before lowering his voice and saying: "Grandmother, if this position is given to an elderly veteran, it is obviously much more suitable than a young general like Xiang Gong, and Xiang Gong has not made any mistakes, he will be assigned to the past, will it be...... Affected by the second uncle? Or maybe it's because of that rumor......"

Old Madam Lu thought for a while and said, "It's also possible, but Dongxing is at odds with his second uncle, and many people know that even if he is really affected, it is limited." Moreover, I don't know how many people have heard of the so-called rumors, if they really spread, the military is not dead, what are more than 2,000 lives? This time in the Northern Expedition, tens of thousands of barbarians died, it is better to arrange General Ruan and General Shangguan first, don't worry about so much for now, what to do, just do it first, maybe there will be a turnaround in the future? ”

Wen Yi lowered her head and pondered for a moment, before she raised her head and smiled: "Grandmother is right, Xianggong is still young, who knows what will happen in the future?" Even if you really stay there for the rest of your life, there's nothing wrong with that, he and I are both people who value positions of power. He put aside his worries for the time being, and talked about packing his luggage and setting off for the south, and said: "The holy decree has given three months, think about this way south, one month is enough, the climate in Kangnan is not much different from Pingyang, we will not know what to prepare." Before leaving, I must get together with my cousin and godmother, and I don't know how many years I will have to wait for goodbye. Also, on the way south, you must go back to Heng'an to worship your ancestors first, maybe you have to spend some time there, and repair the tombs of your ancestors, so that the people in the Liu clan who look down on the eastbound people can see who is the filial son and grandson, so that they can raise their eyebrows. Then I went back to Pingyang, and I lived there for a few days, and I haven't seen my younger brothers and sisters for a year, which is strange. Grandmother, will you come with us? There is a sergeant escort on the road, which is much safer than walking alone, and you don't have to rush, and you can also take a boat. ”

Old Madam Lu smiled: "It's not necessary, it's true to get together with your cousin and aunt more, but I want to go back first......" Stretched out her hand to stop Wen Yi, "Don't worry, listen to me." The two of you went south to take up your post, naturally you want to go back to Heng'an to worship your ancestors, worship your ancestors, or repair the tombs of your ancestors, and you don't have to take my old woman's reason, even if you and Dongxing don't care, I don't want to ask your mother-in-law's clan to gossip about you. Besides, you have both land and water all the way, and I can't stand this old bone, so it is better to take the Luo family's boat directly from the Beijing suburb wharf, go all the way to Cannes and then go ashore, change the carriage and slowly return to Pingyang. Hengzhu, you still have to go to Guzhuang at that time, if you calculate carefully, it will only be two months apart from me, what does it matter? In the future, if you want to come back to see me in Kangnan, or take me to stay for a while, it will be very convenient, so you don't have to worry about such trivial things. ”

Wen Yi persuaded a few more words, but she couldn't persuade her, but asked her grandmother to count down for a long time, blaming her for paying too much attention to her mother's family and ignoring her husband's ideas.

Before dinner, Liu Dongxing came home from outside, and when he heard Wen Yi talk about it, he said, "What's the matter?" You just rely on her old man, with the Luo family business to take care of, grandmother will be safe and comfortable along the way, why let her toss with us Heng'an Kangnandi? Besides, when we get to Cornam and settle down, you can take her for as long as you like, and you can even bring your younger siblings as well. Pingyang is a one-day water journey from Lohas Park, but Kangnan is much closer to Lohas Park, didn't you say that your sixth brother wants to study at Lohas Park? Simply send their brothers away, it will be convenient for their brothers and sisters to meet in the future, and you can also get closer to them, at the same time, if there is any trouble in the Gu clan, you are all far away, don't pay attention to it, isn't it quiet? ”

When Wen Yi heard this, she turned her worries into joy: "Why can't I think of it? Sure enough, "Thinking about it like this, even if you stay in Kangnan for a lifetime, it has become a good thing." She thought it carefully, and said with a smile: "This method is good for grandmother to go back first, when she arrives at Gu Zhuang's house, she will rest for a few days, and then arrange for her brothers to study, and the family's property will also be asked." When these trivial matters are taken care of, we should also arrive, just pack up, take the opportunity to send my brothers south to study in Cannes, and move over together I would rather buy a house in Cannes for my grandmother and my brothers and sisters to live in, or let them stay alone in Guzhuang to be angry. ”

Thinking of it, Wen Yi immediately got up and walked out: "I'll go to my grandmother to discuss, see if I can send the letter back first, and ask Uncle Zhong to go to Cannes to find a suitable house first, if there is a good land, buy it together." ”

Liu Dongxing pulled her back with a smile: "You are too eager, listening to the wind is the rain." At this time, the autumn harvest has just been completed in the south, and it is the time of autumn sowing, who is willing to sell the land to you? ”

Wen Yi came to her senses and was a little embarrassed: "That's right, I forgot about it for a while." He added: "I always said that I wanted to buy two good Zhuangzi near the capital, but I didn't pick it, and it dragged on until today." Now that I think about it, it's crooked. If we buy the Zhuangzi in the capital and want to go to the south to be an official, where will there be so many people to stay and guard the property? It's better to go to the south. The land around the Dongjiang and Taiping rivers is fertile, and it grows twice a year, which is much stronger than the land in the capital. ”

Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "It's a misfortune for me, the property in Shannan Town is equivalent to nothing, and Xiao Shi has always refused to go to Beijing, is it really going to be abandoned?" ”

Wen Yi smiled: "What is this? If you want to keep it, then keep it, isn't someone taking care of it for you? If Dr. Xiao insists on refusing to come, let's go to Pingyang and buy him a small village in Pingyin, and when the time comes, he can retire there as he likes. ”

Liu Dongxing hugged Wen Yi: "In this case, the husband will be handed over to the lady, please pay more attention to the lady and do it for the **." ”

Wen Yi blushed slightly, smiled and responded, the girls came to report that dinner had been prepared, and Mrs. Lu urged her, she hurriedly pulled Liu Dongxing to the west wing, but a thought flashed in her mind: "Dongxing just went out, where did you go?" It's just that Liu Dongxing was hungry, and she was talking about what good dishes there were tonight all the way, and she was amused in her heart, so she put this question aside and quickened the pace of her steps.

It's just that Wen Yi never remembered this doubt, because after eating, Mrs. Lu discussed with them the itinerary for the next three months. In the end, it was decided that for the sake of Liu Dongxing's promotion, the family would have a wine and a treat, only invite a few close families and relatives, and then meet with Li Luo's family a few more times, and then Mrs. Lu would set off before late autumn and leave Beijing by boat to go south.

If you can't set off on September 20, it will be the first day of October, but at that time the weather in the north has turned cold, and Mrs. Lu is old and has been used to living in the warm south for many years, plus it will take at least 20 days to return to Pingyang by water, in order to make her more comfortable on the road, it is not good to push it back.

Dongxing and Wenyi need to take care of all matters in Beijing before mid-October, try to set off before November, first take the waterway, and then transfer to Heng'an by land when they arrive in Taicheng, and then stay in Heng'an for half a month, worship their ancestors, repair tombs, and then go to relatives. But at that time, most of the river water has been frozen, it is not good to take a boat again, can only ride a horse and a car, which takes longer, so it is not good to stay in Hengan for the New Year, and you have to arrive in Cannes before the year. Liu Dongxing means that if he can rush to Kangnan to take over before the year, after the Yamen is sealed, he will be free to accompany Wen Yi back to his mother's house in Pingyang for the New Year. After the Chinese New Year, the whole family went south to Cannes, just in time for the opening of the college.

Mrs. Lu and Wen Yi both agreed to this plan, and discussed with great interest what gifts to bring back to their hometown. Liu Dongxing saw them talking about clothes, materials, fur and something, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Grandmother and lady talk slowly, I'll go to the study to read for a while." Old Madam Lu stared at him, Wen Yi covered her mouth and smiled: "Xianggong is impatient to listen to these trivial matters, you can go, I am here." Liu Dongxing looked dumbfounded, made a few gestures, and then withdrew.

When he arrived at the outer study, he put away the smile on his face, stood in front of the window and thought about it, then he took a pen and wrote a letter, sealed it tightly, and called Shu Ping: "Send this letter to Luo's house, and you must hand it over to Second Master Luo in person."

Shu Ping was stunned: "Second Master Luo is back?" But seeing Liu Dongxing's expression, he hurriedly put away his surprise, took the letter and put it in his arms, and saluted solemnly: "The little one obeys the order".
