Another day passed, Tao Ziyun said goodbye to Tao Ansai and flew back to the Yamen of the Governor of Liangjiang.

Tao Ziyun handed Tao Ansai's letter to the ladies and told him about the process of returning to his hometown in a hurry to take care of his sick father. Of course, he didn't tell everyone about the incident with Tao Ansai, after all, it has not been determined yet, and it must be postponed as much as possible, who doesn't want his father and mother to live a long life?

"This is the filial piety that a son should fulfill, you can go back and do it yourself. In the end, Moss Yu made such a summary, and everyone didn't care about anything anymore.

Next, Tao Ziyun took Li Jiaoshi and quietly came to the "store for the benefit of the people" opened by his father.

Tao Ziyun and Li Jiaoshi, after discussing with Li Jiaoshi's father Li Zhaochen and his four elder brothers, decided to let Li Jiaoshi follow Tao Ziyun to deal with the affairs of the Salt Gang, instead of going back to Lu Mansion to be a servant, and no longer called Lu Xiang. At the same time, they agreed not to tell Lu Railxu that Li Jiaoshi, that is, Lu Xiang was still alive, and if Lu Railxu, who was unkind and unjust, was willing to compensate for this matter, Li Zhaochen would withdraw the accusation against Lu Railxu, the owner of the Lu Mansion, and the public case would be closed.

Subsequently, Tao Ziyun took Li Jiaoshi and still returned to the governor's yamen and asked him to be a guest inside. and then passed Lu Liangxu and Li Jiaoshi's father Li Zhaochen to the court.

Li Zhaochen's rounds of accusations against Lu Railxu made Lu Railxu also express his shame on the missing Li Zhaochen's son and admit that he was at fault. In terms of the choice of imprisonment or compensation for gold and silver, Lu Liangxu chose to compensate the Li family.

Li Zhaochen is a shrewd businessman, and he cares about the compensation, and after some bargaining, the amount of compensation still makes Lu Liangxu feel distressed.

Out of morality, Tao Ziyun told Lu Railxu about his private visit to Lu Liangxu's other servant, Lu Rui's house. Because Lu Liangxu did order Lu Rui to be killed, and the compensation was very small. Tao Ziyun asked Lu Liangxu to give Lu Rui's family additional compensation according to the standard of compensation for Li Zhaochen, otherwise he would have to suffer a lawsuit. Lu Liangxu also agreed to this matter.

After Lu Liangxu completed the liability for compensation, he was let back by Tao Ziyun, and he would never dare to treat the servant like a wolf in the future.

From then on, Li Jiaoshi, who had been in the Yan Gang, and Zhao Juzhi, who had been in the Cao Gang, assisted Tao Ziyun. It dealt with many affairs of the Salt Gang and the Cao Gang, and rectified the phenomenon that illegal salt was rampant and the Cao Gang was hindered by the Cao Gang. In addition, Tao Ziyun also severely cracked down on foreigners who sold opium!

On this day, Lin Zexu, the governor of Jiangsu, said goodbye to Tao Ziyun, saying that the emperor had summoned him to Beijing and had another official appointment.

Tao Ziyun reluctantly sent Lin Zexu off and saw him off, praising him for being the governor of Jiangsu under his own and being a capable assistant, and wishing the capable Lin Zexu. In other government offices, there are also good developments.

Not long after, the official who was appointed as the governor of Jiangsu came into the living room to visit Tao Ziyun. Tao Ziyun couldn't help but shout hello! Tao Yu, who got the news, also came to the living room with her child, and she was even more overjoyed!

Originally. The successor to the governor of Jiangsu was Liang Zhangju, who Tao Ziyun and Taoyu had known each other in the capital!

Liang Zhangju's Jiangsu Governor Yamen was also in Nanjing, not far from the Yamen of the Liangjiang Governor. They can come and go again again.

Now, Liang Zhangju, who has just arrived at the Yamen of Jiangsu Governor to take office, then brought his wife and children to visit Tao Ziyun and them.

Tao Ziyun and Tao Yu talked about business and private affairs with Liang Zhangju and Mrs. Liang respectively in the living room.

It turned out that Tao Ziyun left the capital to be a magistrate, and Liang Zhangju, who was still in the capital, was selected as the military aircraft Zhangjing after the examination, entered the military aircraft department, and later became the governor of Guangxi, and also served as the acting governor. Mrs. Liang, like Mossy Yu, has been given the title of Mrs. Yipin.

The more they talked, the more speculative they became, and they talked about Zhu Shiyan, another good friend when they were in the capital, and Mrs. Zhu. Mrs. Liang said that she only knew that Zhu Shiyan was still working in the capital, but she didn't know the details.

Tao Ziyun pretended to respond lightly and said: "Don't worry about this, when we have the opportunity to go to Beijing to do business, and bring our wife to Beijing, we can go to his house as a guest, and everything is clear." ”

Although I don't know when that kind of opportunity will come, I know that Zhu Shiyan and his wife are doing well, and it is not sad to wait. So their mood is still sweet.

Yuyuan was in the lost city, He Meimei, and He Keren, and they also got the news of Liang Zhangju and his wife's visit, and brought their respective children to the living room to meet guests. Since then, the two families have established intimate mutual visits.

In the following days, because of the effective handling of the general Liushan, Tao Ziyun wrote a melody and recommended Liushan to the emperor and asked him to be promoted to deputy general.

It didn't take long for the herald to arrive, and the herald promoted Liu Shan to lieutenant general. This is not the most happy, because Tao Ziyun found that it was Zhu Shiyan with a group of generals who came to deliver the decree!

Because of Zhu Shiyan's presence, Tao Ziyun was extremely happy, and ordered the officers and soldiers to fly and ride to invite Liang Zhangju and his wife to come over and catch up with Zhu Shiyan together!

Liang Zhangju and his wife arrived quickly in a carriage. In the living room, Tao Ziyun and his wife and children talked and laughed with Zhu Shiyan!

Liang Zhangju also asked Zhu Shiyan about his recent situation.

It turned out that Zhu Shiyan was now in the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry and came to Jiangnan to supervise the affairs of river control and disaster relief. The emperor asked him to go to the yamen of the governor of Liangjiang to pass the decree to Liushan.

Speaking of the past, Zhu Shiyan told Tao Ziyun and Liang Zhangju that he had also held official positions in the capital, such as Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, Metropolitan Inspectorate, Zuodu Yushi, etc.

Tao Ziyun shook his head with a smile: "Alas, we are busy with our respective official affairs and neglect to greet each other, and now we have learned about the current situation of each of us." ”

"Haha! From now on, the three of us will exchange letters in the future, and we will greet each other often!" Zhu Shiyan laughed heartily.

Liang Zhangju firmly agreed: "Of course! This must be remembered! No matter how busy we are, the three of us will have to find time to contact each other by letter!"

They were chatting and laughing, and a servant came in and whispered to Moss that lunch was ready.

So Moss Yu beckoned everyone to sit down and gave warm hospitality to these guests.

After lunch, at Zhu Shiyan's request, they were going to various places to inspect and supervise the work.

In the next few days, Tao Ziyun, Liang Zhangju, and the newly promoted deputy general Liu Shan accompanied Zhu Shiyan and his men to run errands in their jurisdiction. Until Zhu Shiyan left their jurisdiction and went to other places in Jiangnan. After that, Tao Ziyun, Zhu Shiyan and Liang Zhangju really kept correspondence.

Time flies, and it's almost time to take the test.

Shortly after the New Year, Zhu Shiyan, who had been reappointed as the secretary of the military department, mentioned in a letter he had just sent that he would be the secretary of the military department in the examination this spring. Serve as the chief examiner of the examination. In order to better promote talents for the country, he recommended Tao Ziyun as the internal supervisor of the examination and Liang Zhangju as the examiner of the examination. Zhu Shiyan also wrote that the emperor had given him permission to recommend, and then the holy decree would be sent by others, and Tao Ziyun and Liang Zhangju would be invited to gather in his mansion at that time.

Liang Zhangju also received a similar letter from Zhu Shiyan, and came over to look forward to the warm scene of meeting with Zhu Shiyan in the capital with Tao Ziyun.

Of course, Moss Yu, He Meimei, and He Keren also knew the news, and they immediately expressed their position, and they also wanted to walk together.

"Haha! It's natural, my lady. I want to take my children to the capital with me. Liang Zhangju echoed his understanding.

Tao Ziyun nodded silently at the lady's request and asked them to start packing up.

The next day, the emperor's decree was delivered by the herald. Xuan Tao Ziyun will enter Beijing immediately, and be sure to arrive before the test date.

Tao Ziyun thought of it, flying in the sky when the spring was cold. It is difficult to ensure that the wife and children are not protected from the wind and cold, and must sit in the carriage prepared with clothes and quilts, and stay overnight. Just arrive in the capital before the test date, so that you can also watch the scenery along the way.

Tao Ziyun asked Liu Shan to ride on a horse and go to Liang Zhangju's governor's yamen to inform him of this plan, and agreed to enter Beijing early tomorrow morning. When Liu Shan arrived, Liang Zhangju had already received the holy decree and was packing up with his wife.

Regarding Tao Ziyun's agreement and the way to enter Beijing, Liang Zhangju naturally agreed.

The next day, they were on the road on time, and Lu Chahua stayed in the governor's yamen.

Tao Ziyun's wife and children sat in a big carriage, and Tao Ziyun personally drove the carriage. Liang Zhangju, his wife, and the children sat in another big carriage, and the deputy general Liu Shan drove the carriage.

During the day, I hurried in the carriage, the atmosphere was warm and warm, and at night I lived in the warm guest room of the inn and went to the capital to do errands, just like traveling.

After entering the capital in the morning of that day, they lived in Zhu Shiyan's house. Calculate the time, this time the test will start tomorrow.

Taking advantage of this day's free time, Zhu Shiyan also sent someone to invite him as a guest.

I heard that he is now working in the court and is now doing a position called "Huke to Shizhong", and he is very happy to be able to meet these old friends in the capital again.

At this moment, Tao Ziyun is about to remind Chang: "Before we get together, I kept in touch with them, and in the future, you have to write to me and send a greeting." ”

"That's it! I must follow the trend and write a greeting letter to Master Tao!" Chang replied to Tao Ziyun very dryly.

They were reminiscing about the old days, drinking tea, and drinking wine in the Zhu Mansion, and before they were finished, a servant came in to pass the word: "Master Tao, a palace maid has come to pass you into the palace, and it is the little princess who invites you." ”

Hearing that the little princess was invited, Tao Ziyun didn't dare to slack off, and after saying goodbye to relatives and friends, he followed a few palace maids into the palace.

As soon as the little princess saw Tao Ziyun, she said to him, "Do you know Hu He's current situation?"

"I heard that she and her father went to Zhutian, but there is no way to know the specific situation. Tao Ziyun replied solemnly.

"Now Hu He is in trouble, she is not with her father anymore! she was caught in Zhutian!" the little princess eagerly told Tao Ziyun.

"She was caught in Zhutian?what's going on?" Tao Ziyun was frightened by the little princess's eager expression.

The little princess opened her mouth and quickly said to Tao Ziyun: "Hu He's little black dragon ball, and my little black dragon ball, have the magical effect of connecting thoughts, I can see the situation on her side through the little black dragon ball, but she hasn't told me where she is for a long time." Later, she told me that Zhutian is now occupied by the crow people, and the opium trafficking activities of the crow people have suffered a setback in our Qing Dynasty, so the crow people hate the people of the Qing Dynasty, and the crow people who control Zhutian will arrest the Qing people in Zhutian. She and her father lived in a self-built Taoist temple on the mountain, and one day when her father left the Taoist temple and went to the countryside to run errands, he was discovered by the crows who searched for the Qing people, and her kung fu was not very good, so she was arrested and locked in the palace cell of Zhutian. Her father's kung fu is good and he won't be caught, but her father definitely doesn't know where she is and can't save her. So, it's better for you to go to Zhutian and rescue Hu He!"

Tao Ziyun said to the little princess in embarrassment: "It's right to save her, but it's about to take the exam, you must know that I am the internal supervisor of the exam this time, and the road is far away, so I can't go away for the time being!"

The little princess's request was relaxed a little: "Then after you finish the exam, you will go to Zhutian to save Hu He, and I will tell her about these situations." ”

"Okay. When the test was over, I would hit the road immediately. Tao Ziyun said, said goodbye to the little princess, and returned to Zhu Shiyan's mansion.

Mrs. Zhu accompanied the guests to talk in the living room, but Mrs. Liang and Taoyu were nowhere to be seen.

Tao Ziyun told everyone about the situation of entering the palace to see the little princess, and everyone immediately looked at each other and was speechless for a long time.

Tao Ziyun asked where Taoyu had gone, and he wanted to tell her about it.

Mrs. Zhu replied: "Moss Yu and Mrs. Liang said that after lunch, it was best to go for an event, so they went out together. I heard them say that they were going to the backyard for a walk. Because most of the guests are here, I want to accompany them here, so I didn't go together. ”

Tao Ziyun nodded and walked towards the backyard of the Zhu Mansion. (To be continued......)
