In an elegant room in Qingfeng Teahouse, Han Qi personally poured a cup of tea for Fan Ning, and said with a smile: "It's been almost a month since I returned to the capital!" ”

Fanning nodded, "Two days and one month!" ”

"Oh? Remember it so clearly, it looks like you've been thinking about it. ”

Fanning didn't deny it, just smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

He really hopes that he can return to Beijing to resume his post, and Ding's worry period should be over, but he is different from other ordinary officials, his reinstatement is to set an official position first, and then reinstate, he guessed that Han Qi was looking for him today for this matter.

Han Qi didn't directly mention the reinstatement, he changed the topic, and asked with a smile: "Guess, who will take over Song Zhen's phase?" ”

Fan Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Zeng Gongliang, the servant of the right official department! ”

The smile in Han Qi's eyes deepened, "But many people think that it is Zhang Sheng, the right counselor." ”

Fan Ning shook his head, "The imprint of Zhang Sheng's faction is too heavy, unless the Son of Heaven has decided to make Zhao Wenyun the crown prince, Zhang Sheng will not be used." ”

"What about Bao Zheng? He's qualified enough, do you think he'll be in the picture? ”

Fan Ning still shook his head, "Like Zhang Sheng, Bao Zheng's faction imprint is too heavy, and Jia Changchao and Tian are biased towards Zhao Wenyun, so I think the Son of Heaven will only fine-tune and promote a middle-of-the-road minister, if there is no Zeng Gongliang, I will think that my father-in-law Zhu Xiaoyun has hope, but he can't get around Zeng Gongliang's hurdle, and Zeng Gongliang's ascension to the throne is inevitable." ”

Han Qi nodded, "You are very discerning, the official family has decided to appoint Zeng Gongliang as the privy envoy and Pingzhang Shi today, and take over the position of Song Zhen, in addition, the question of your reinstatement was also asked by the official family today." ”

Fan Ning suddenly became concerned and hurriedly asked, "What does the official family say?" ”

"The official family has two plans, the first plan is to let you serve as a consolation envoy and go to Shaanxi Road and Hebei Road to inspect the disaster, and the second plan is to let you go to the local office, and you need to ask for your own opinions."

The consolation envoy is a bit like the minister of the Qin Mission, on behalf of the imperial court and the Son of Heaven, he goes to various places to inspect disasters, appease the people's feelings, and compare the scenery from the face, but whether it is a consolation envoy or a pacification envoy, it is essentially only a temporary position, which does not help much to consolidate qualifications.

Of course, Fanning wants to go to the local place to take up a real position, but the problem is that the reign of the Son of Heaven is running out, and there are two years at most, and he still hopes to stay in the capital for these crucial two years, but he can't help himself in this matter, and the two plans put forward by the officials are asking him to go to the place.

Fanning pondered for a moment and asked, "Where are the officials going to let me go?" ”

"I didn't say it specifically, it should be recommended by the Zhizheng Hall, I just discussed it with Zeng Gongliang, one is Zhihang, one is Zhijiangning Mansion, and the other is Zhiying Tianfu, you can choose one of the three, but ......"

"But what?" Fanning asked.

Han Qi smiled and said, "What does the King of Julu County mean, I hope you will go to Yingtianfu!" ”

Fan Ning immediately understood that Zhao Zhongzhong wanted to go to Yingtianfu by himself, and then Han Qi would operate it, and discuss it with Zeng Gongliang because Zeng Gongliang was about to enter the phase, and Han Qi needed to obtain his support in advance, and then in the vote of the Zhizheng Hall, he could pass it by 3 to 2.

"How, do you have the intention?"

Fanning smiled faintly, "Do I still have a choice?" ”

........

In the afternoon of the same day, Ouchi issued two decrees, Feng Zeng Gongliang as a privy envoy and a member of the Ping Zhang, and participated in the deliberations of the Zhizheng Hall, and the second decree allowed Fan Ning Ding to be reinstated after the expiration of his term of service, and continued to serve as the left counselor and Zhiying Tianfu.

Doctor Zuo is only a nominal official position, if at the same time he is enshrined in the Governor's Yuan, it is to sit on the real power of Doctor Zuo, and his current position is accurately expressed as 'serving as the prefect of Yingtian with the title of Doctor Zuo'.

The day after Fanning went to the Ministry of Officials to complete the inauguration procedures, his wife and mother arrived in the capital by boat.

Fan Ning received his wife, daughter and mother on the dock of Daxiangguo Temple, it was a large passenger ship of 2,000 stones, his mother Zhang Sanniang got off the passenger boat first with the support of her daughter Ado, Fan Ning hurriedly greeted him and smiled: "I thought my mother would come later." ”

Zhang Sanniang glared at him, "Your two ladies, one with a big belly and the other with a young girl, won't I come?" ”

Fan Ning sneered: "I didn't mean that, I just thought that my mother still had something to deal with." ”

"I've taken care of everything that should be handled, and I'm going to count on you, a stinky boy, to support me in the future, don't bother me."

"Mother, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Sanniang patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Go ahead!" Both of your ladies are counting on you. ”

Fanning rubbed her sister's hair again, asked her a few words, and then greeted his wife and daughter.

The second to get off the boat was Ouyang Qian, who was holding her daughter, and when the little guy saw his father, he opened his arms happily and shouted: "Dad.... Father! ”

Fan Ning was overjoyed, he hadn't seen her for more than a month, and her daughter would actually call Daddy, he hurriedly held his baby daughter in his arms, kissed her little cheek heavily, and said happily: "Shout Daddy again!" ”

"Daddy.... Father! ”

Although it was a little vague, Fanning's heart melted with the milky voice, and he held his daughter in his arms, but refused to let go.

"My husband seems to have lost weight!" Ouyang Qian said with affection.

"We're not around, he spends all day drinking, can he not lose weight?"

It was Ju Pei who spoke, she was already a little pregnant, and she was carefully supported by Aya to get off the boat, she glared at her husband dissatisfied, and actually didn't help herself get off the boat.

Fan Ning hurriedly hugged her daughter Ah Zhen to greet her, held Zhu Pei with one hand, and said with a smile: "The letter I wrote, I should have received it!" ”

"The letter was received, you said that you would be reinstated, and we are all concerned about whether you want to get rid of our mothers again and go overseas by yourself."

Fan Ning was a little embarrassed and a little helpless, so he had to smile bitterly and said, "It's not going overseas." ”

"Where is that going? We all guessed you wouldn't stay in Beijing. ”

"Let's go back and talk about it! Anyway, it's very close to the capital, so it basically has no impact. ”

There were already two carriages and several ox carts parked next to them, her daughter Ah Zhen had to be with her father, Ouyang Qian sat with Zhu Pei, Zhang Sanniang took her daughter Ado, and Aya and Jian Meizi to sit in the second carriage, and the other maids took the ox cart, and as for the luggage, someone sent by Zhu Yuanfeng sent them back to the house for them.

The carriage slowly passed through Shuyuan Street, the rubble and ruins of the Strange Stone Pavilion had been cleared, more than a dozen craftsmen and more than 100 small workers were busy rebuilding the mansion, and Fan Tiege was in the temporary shop rented on East Street, and there was no one he knew on the construction site.

Everyone looked at the burned shop silently, no one spoke, and Fanning had already briefly told them about the burning of the shop in the letter.

The carriage walked out of Shuyuan Street, and the baby daughter was already asleep in Fan Ning's arms, Ouyang Qian gently picked up her daughter and asked in a low voice, "Husband, where are you going?" ”

Juppé's eyes immediately fixed on her husband, which was also her most concerned matter.

"It's going to Ying Tianfu!" Fanning smiled bitterly.

Zhu Pei and Ouyang Qian glanced at each other, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, it is indeed not far, about two hundred miles, it takes two days to take a boat, and it can be reached in one day and one night by riding a fast horse.

"And when are you going to take office?" Juppé then asked.

"Ten days later."

.........

Fan Ning had already moved back to his own mansion a few days ago, and the servants were still the same group as before, about 30 people, only one more Liu Guan's family was outside, plus the internal housekeeper Wu's wife, which was considered the structure of a large family.

On the way to Beijing, the family discussed the arrangement of the residence, no need to worry about Fan Ning, the mother Zhang Sanniang and her daughter live in the east courtyard, not only live with her son, but also keep a certain distance from them, Zhang Sanniang knows very well in her heart that Zhu Pei is the heroine of the family, if she is too strong, it will only make the backyard restless.

Zhang Sanniang's mother and daughter also brought four handmaidens to Beijing, which can be a system of their own, usually eat together, or chat, especially she wants to bring her baby granddaughter, which is Zhang Sanniang's biggest sustenance.

The back house is composed of a total of three courtyards and a garden, three courtyards, Ouyang Qian and her daughter live in the largest one, Aya and Jianmeizi live in a courtyard, eight maids in the inner house live in a courtyard, and the garden courtyard is where Zhu Pei and Fan Ning live.

Soon, several servants escorted more than a dozen boats full of luggage from the waterway to the Fan family's mansion.
