Chapter 296: Leaving Beijing (2)

The place where I have lived for many years and where many stories have happened is really going to leave completely. Although the hearts of several people are open, of course, they also have a feeling.

Zhixin and Xiao Mo have no other relatives here, but there is one person who has to say goodbye, and that is the eldest princess of Yong'an. Although they didn't want to step into the door of the Shi family, they couldn't bear to leave like this, so they decided to meet the eldest princess of Yong'an.

They didn't go through the gate, but came to the back of Shi Fu and waited at the small door. When he saw a rough little maid come out, he stepped forward and said his name, and he and she said goodbye to the eldest princess. The Shi Mansion knows the names of Zhixin and Xiao Mo, and everyone knows it. The little maidservant was no exception, of course, and she ran in as fast as she could.

And when he did not move, he saw the little maidservant run out and asked them to come into the house, but they would not go in. I had no choice but to go and tell again.

As soon as she turned around, the eldest princess of Yong'an had walked out in person with the support of the maids. Zhixin and Xiao Mo hurriedly greeted them, and said happily and surprised: "Eldest princess, your steps are so fast." As he spoke, he made a great salute.

The eldest princess of Yong'an hurriedly stopped, took the hands of the two of them on the left and right, and said, "I knew that you would not go in, so I was in a hurry to come out." I'm in this house, and I don't know much about the outside world. The day before yesterday, I heard that you had returned to Luoyang from Wenshan, and I was about to send someone to find you and meet you, but who would have thought that you would come by yourself. ”

Zhixin said: "After we arrived in Luoyang, everything had to be settled again, so I didn't have time to visit the eldest princess, so I came here today." ”

The eldest princess of Yong'an was full of gratifying smiles: "'We', 'we'-you still chased Xiao Mo back after all." Your left and right ladies, how complete. I knew it would be this result, but I just wronged that idiot in my family. ”

Zhixin blushed and smiled embarrassedly: "Eldest princess, don't mention this." ”

The eldest princess of Yong'an sighed: "Hey, don't mention it." Then he grabbed Xiao Mo's hand and asked, "Where do you live now?" ”

"We rented a house to live in." Xiao Mo replied with a smile.

"Every inch of land in Luoyang City is expensive, houses are very expensive, and renting is not cheap. Even if there is a cheap one, the conditions must be very poor. Why don't you live in that peony garden, how about I buy it and leave it for you to live in? ”

"No need, the housing prices in Luoyang don't matter to us anymore. Because we are about to go to Ruyin, we have come to bid farewell to the eldest princess today. ”

Zhixin and Xiao Mo said the truth one by one.

The eldest princess of Yong'an showed a surprised expression while listening to the narration of the two: "It's great that you want to go to Ruyin." ”

Parting was a sad thing, but the other party actually said "yes". The two were very puzzled, and said with a little disgust: "We are about to travel far away, and it will be extremely difficult to see each other in the future, but the eldest princess actually said 'good', is it true that women are so important to family and friends after marriage, and they don't talk about friendship at all?" ”

"No, no, no, what do you say, how can you do it!" The eldest princess of Yongan hurriedly explained, "The three of us are like sisters, and we can't wait to see each other every day." The reason why I say 'yes' is because we can see each other every day in the future." Because I'm going to Ruyin too! ”

"The eldest princess is also going to Ruyin? Are you reluctant to chase us to Ruyin? ”

Listening to Xiao Mo's somewhat innocent question, the eldest princess of Yongan smiled awkwardly: "That's not it." A woman obeys her father at home and marries her husband. No matter how good a sister's relationship is, it is impossible for a man to travel thousands of miles for friendship. To tell you the truth, I am to accompany my family to Ruyin, and he has been appointed as Ruyin's Taishou. Originally, the people in the house were worried that I would not be used to living in Ruyin, so they advised me not to go. The colt was afraid of being restrained by me, and he didn't like me very much, so I haven't made up my mind for the past few days. But now I've decided, at least you're there! ”

Zhixin and Xiao Mo listened to the excited narration of the eldest princess of Yong'an, and they were not infected with a trace of joy at all, but looked at each other in amazement. Xiao Mo's impatience made her couldn't help but ask: "Your concubine and my husband are officials in the court together, but they were transferred out of Beijing on the same day, and they are still in the same place. The most important thing is that they originally had a secretary and a Shang Shulang, and there was not much difference, but this time when I went to Ruyin, my husband wanted to be your concubine, how could it be so coincidental? Was it deliberately arranged? ”

Regarding Xiao Mo's questioning, the eldest princess of Yong'an really didn't think about it, and when she thought about it, it really made some sense, "I didn't know that Shu Lang was going to be transferred to Ruyin, and as for why there was such a coincidental arrangement, I don't know even more." ”

Zhixin looked at the innocent appearance of the eldest princess of Yong'an, and thought that she didn't know anything, so she made a mistake and said: "I grew up in Ruyin, and Ruyin is really not as good as Luoyang." Of course, basic food, clothing, housing and transportation are not a problem, but if you want to live a delicate life like here, I am afraid that you can't, and you can't buy authentic everything if you have money. I advise the eldest princess to think carefully. ”

"It's okay, I'm just worried that I won't adapt to the water and soil climate there."

"As long as you can adapt to your daily life, you don't have to worry about water and soil. The two places are located south of the Yellow River and north of the Yangtze River, and the difference in water, soil and climate is not large. ”

"That's great. When you leave, let's go together. Just take our boats and carriages, and you can save a lot of money. ”

Zhixin expected that the wealthy family must have a lot of pale servants and women, and the personnel were mixed, not to mention that there was a jade comparison, I was afraid that it would be inconvenient, so she hurriedly excused herself and said: "No need, no need." That's a lot of inconvenience, so we can just take a boat by ourselves. ”

"Hey, excuse what! Yes, yes. Xiao Mo, who was still angry just now, suddenly laughed and said, "The eldest princess is gracious, and it is difficult to be kind, so we might as well be respectful." ”

Zhixin blushed anxiously: "Xiao Mo, no!" ”

Xiao Mo ignored her, but asked the eldest princess of Yong'an, "When are you going to leave?" ”

"I heard that it was probably the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, the day after tomorrow, we will see you at the ferry."

After sending Zhixin and Xiaomo away, the eldest princess of Yongan returned to the mansion.

For the first time, Hiyu is seriously away from her parents and is about to take on the responsibilities of a county, which is a big deal. In addition, the noble eldest princess Yongan also has to accompany her in person, which is even more incredible. The whole Shi Mansion was busy, just preparing for Biyu and his wife to go to Ruyin.

Seon lost his horse, but he didn't know if it was a blessing. Shi Hui didn't expect that the day before yesterday, he failed to use illness to promote filial piety, and he found another way. He was overjoyed and personally directed the preparation of the travel items. Through the plans made for his son again and again, it seems that he has seen a bright future in the future.

Biyu is still as cold as water, and she can't tell whether she is happy or unhappy.

The splendid and prosperous Luoyang has created a luxurious and unbridled environment that is incomparable to other places. Biyu is very attached to it, and of course she is reluctant to leave. Think about the new position that will be taken on - one side is too guarded, and the whole county and several counties are decided by themselves, I don't know how many trivial things will have to be done, and how many responsibilities will have to be borne! It can't be compared with the secretary who can easily cope with flipping through books and drinking tea! Thinking about it this way, he should be completely reluctant to leave. However, leaving Luoyang to go to Ruyin meant being able to break free from his father's bondage and discipline, which was too attractive to him.

The secretary cabinet where Hitama is located, the chief is the secretary supervisor. Secretary Cheng is only a subordinate official, so Biyu has been an official for many years, and he has never really taken official responsibility. Now that I want to go to Ruyin to be a local governor, it's different. Shi Hui taught his son the way to be an official for half a day. Including how to deal with the boss Yuzhou governor, how to deal with the subordinate county orders, the people in the governance, and how to deal with unexpected problems.

Kebi Yu didn't answer a word, as if playing the piano to a cow.

"De'er, the most important thing for an official is not to act impartially, but to be tactful and adaptable. For the same thing, different people and different occasions have different ways to deal with the same thing. In addition, there is a way back for everything. I've made it very clear to you just now. Do you understand? ”

"Hmm."

After wasting his tongue for a long time, he only got a careless "um" word, Shi Hui was a little angry, "Rotten wood can't be carved, do you understand what I'm saying?" ”

Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her son, and she was not very relieved that Biyu would go to Ruyin, so how could she allow her husband to lose his temper with his son at this moment? She pulled Shi Hui hard: "What are you yelling at?" De'er went outside alone, and it was inevitable that he would be a little nervous, how could he listen to you attentively? ”33

Shi Hui became impatient: "Seeing that he is about to take charge of himself, teaching him experience is to let him avoid detours, which is for his good!" ”

"We want officials to have officials, we want money and wealth, and if we are good in Luoyang, we have to go to Ruyin and do what we do!"

"Power and money are mutually insured. Without family background as a guarantee, no matter how much money you have, you can't keep it! With my current official status, I am already ashamed of my ancestors, and De'er is like this, it is really not as good as the generation. If I don't be strict with him, I'm afraid that my Shi family will decline within two generations! ”

Shi Hui considered from the height of the rise and fall of the family, and Mrs. Wang didn't know it. She couldn't refute, so she could only soften her tone and said: "You also know that De'er has a lazy temperament, and suddenly takes charge of himself, and something goes wrong, isn't it self-defeating?" ”

"You're young and in your prime, it's time to forge ahead. As for what you just said, there is no need to worry at all, there will be someone who can help him when the time comes. ”

It is naturally better to have capable people to help. But listening to her husband's words, she seemed to deal with it casually, ambiguous, "What kind of capable person?" Is it in Ruyin? How do you know that the man will help him? Madame Wang asked in a series of questions.

"What do you ask? Things work themselves out. Naturally, there will be then. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard her husband's words, she was obviously perfunctory, and she couldn't help but worry again: "The people in the magistrate's office are the most treacherous and simple, who will really help him?" ”

Before the words fell, he saw the eldest princess Yongan coming in from outside, and said with a smile: "There is indeed someone who will help him." ”

"Who's going to help him?" Mrs. Wang asked with a smile as she got up.

"Shu Yan."

"Is that true?" Mrs. Wang asked in surprise.

If someone else leaked this secret, Shi Hui would definitely be angry, but when the eldest princess of Yong'an said it, not only did he not dare to be angry, but he also had to say with a smile: "What the eldest princess said is true, Shu Yan is going to Ruyin to be a county prince." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I want De'er to worry about it for a few days first, which is a boost for him. If he had told him in advance, he would have been even less concerned. I originally wanted Shu Yan to take up his post a few days later, but it seems that there is no need. ”

Shi Hui nagged for a long time just now, but Biyu was indifferent, and as soon as he heard that Shu Yan was going to Ruyin to be a county minister, he immediately became energetic and said in surprise: "Why is this so?" ”

"How so?" Shi Hui looked at Biyu coldly and asked, "Don't you think you can't get angry in front of him?" You both entered the office at the same time, you achieved nothing, but he made many achievements in each office; Talent is on your head, and you are still defeated by him on the love field! Aren't you discouraged? I am arranging this to regain your self-confidence. You are high, let him obey you, and from now on you will always be a head below you! ”

When the eldest princess Yong'an heard this, she understood in her heart: I can't complain about Xiao Mo or not, it turns out that this matter was really planned by them in advance.

For Biyu, this is another arrangement made by his father without his consent, but there is nothing wrong with this arrangement. Taishou has important responsibilities and cumbersome affairs, Biyu was originally very worried about this, but now that Shu Yan is the county leader, this should not be a problem at all. As for his father's words about letting Shu Yan be a head shorter than himself, although he didn't think so, it seemed to be the same thing.

Biyu quit her parents and went back to her room with the eldest princess Yong'an.

Of course, Mrs. Wang was willing to make such an arrangement, and when she saw Biyu and his wife go, she said to her husband: "Shu Yan's character I know, the eldest princess is kind to his two women, which is also good for De'er." But I'm outside, I'm not worried about when I'll be transferred back to Luoyang. ”

"Do you need to talk about that? It's just that after three or five years of training outside, you have to be transferred back, and it will be much easier to be promoted at that time. As for Shu Yan, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to return to Luoyang again. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
