Chapter 353 This and That
Prince Funing returned to his house, and he was sullen on his chest. After all, he couldn't help complaining after saying the good things of inspecting the river workers: "He Jiang Hong is a despicable villain! It doesn't matter if the officials transferred him back to the capital and let him enter the Ministry of Ceremonies. Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Ceremonies is so old that he has not been able to deal with the affairs for a long time. What does it mean to let him be the left servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies? Isn't this just letting him take charge of the Ministry of Ceremonies?! A despicable villain like him also deserves to be in charge of the ceremonial department? I won't mention this. Anyway, the world is an official. We don't care who he uses, and we don't care about it! But how can he let Jiang Hong teach Brother Rui? Our Brother Rui has outstanding character and talent. If such a good child falls into the hands of such a villain as Jiang Hong, isn't he going to destroy the child?!" Prince Funing patted the kang as he spoke. Li Tian was speechless and said slowly, "If you don't think it's suitable, then take Brother Rui back. You are also good at learning. Isn't it good to teach Brother Rui by yourself? You teach your son, and the officials can't say anything.
"Uh!" Prince Funing choked and said angrily several times, "Didn't you say that children must have partners and friends, and they can't always be left alone? If I teach him, won't they become alone? Besides, Brother Rui is so smart that I have good knowledge, but this... The kind father is a kind father, and he has become a strict teacher with a straight face. How sad is Brother Rui? Forget it, just teach. Anyway, our Brother Rui doesn't need to take the imperial examination, and we don't need to be proud of learning in the future. Whatever he teaches, our Brother Rui is not easy to bully. If you want to teach us Brother Rui, Jiang Hong must have that ability!" Li Tian looked at him more speechlessly, took a deep breath and suddenly asked, "You suddenly remembered that you led the river patrolman, not because Jiang Yan returned to Beijing. You don't want to see him, do you?"
"Of course I don't want to see him! I feel sick when I hear his name! But my cousin, the official brother! Do I have to hide from him? What is he! I just want to take you out for a walk. Oh, forget it. Let's not mention him. When you come back this time, the officials have to stuff the household department into my hands. You don't know how annoying the household department's affairs are. Two fu in a year alone can annoy people! Let's have enough fun this trip! Let's play first. When I come back to get the household department, I have to find a way to hand over the messenger of the Ministry of Industry, alas! Tiantian, when my father was here in the past, although I was worried and idle, now, my eldest brother is taking me as a cow. I'm so bitter!" The fifth prince complained that Jiang Hong was a villain all the way to his eldest brother as an ox. Li Tian heard that he finally complained about his hard work all the way. He smiled and handed him a cup of tea to persuade him, "It's just after our river patrol worker came back. Now let's think about how this be done well. Don't worry and save time. Let's wander around and play. Don't you often say that living in the present can't let future troubles delay today's enjoyment.
"What you said is great wisdom! First, we have to let people take a comfortable car. We have to bring all the things and the people. A few chefs in the small kitchen have to take them all. By the way, I have thought about it. It's better for us to take a boat all the way. First, we can bring more people and more things, and second,..."
"Well, I also think it's good to take a boat." Li Tian interrupted Prince Funing's words. Prince Funing was very excited: "If you take a boat, you have to take the big car. If you think it's good, you will park the boat. Let's take the car to play again. At worst, we can bring a few more boats. If there is no official ship, let's adjust our own boat..." Li Tian took tea and heard him pointing out his words with great interest. Arrangement, nodding from time to time to add a few words, she and his taste in eating, drinking and playing have always been surprisingly consistent.
Prince Funing's trip is huge, and there is a lot of preparation before the river patrol workers check the accounts. In addition, it is necessary to take care of the tax account book of the household department first. The preparation before departure is cumbersome and slow. Jiang Hong returned to the capital before the preparation of his eight characters has been completed.
Princes Jiang Jun has been eagerly looking forward to his return since she knew that Jiang Hong was going to be transferred back to Beijing. On the day she came back, she sent the stew manager to welcome him dozens of miles early, and listened to him all the way to enter the city. He was banned and was banned. As soon as Jiang Hong left the palace, the princess of Jiangjun also hurriedly took a bus to Jiang's mansion with Jiang Hong's mother Cui Madam, straightened her neck and waited for Jiang Hong to come back.
Both are full of anxiety. Mrs. Cui went back to her ancestral house for two or three years because of the matter of Lin Ke's media protection. As soon as she returned to the capital, Ashan had taken office with Xu Sihai, and then she was directly transferred from her predecessor to the governor of Zhejiang Road. Brother Hong went all the way out. She only had this son and one daughter, such as Today, I only feel that the house is empty and desolate under my knees. This time, Brother Hong has finally been transferred back to Beijing. It's time to take a good look at his marriage. If it goes well, maybe she can get married before the New Year, then next year, maybe she can have a grandson...
Princess Jiangjun is another worry. She gave birth to two sons and two daughters and two daughters... Needless to say, Ake's life is going well, and the Leng family has risen all the way. Sister Wen's life is now more smoother than before. In the past five or six years, she has not seen her old again, just two sons. Princess Jiangjun was sad for a burst of sadness. In the name of the son, the eldest brother finally returned to the capital for medical treatment the year before last, but he has been idle at home for two or three years. Do you want to be as idle as his father all his life? There is also the second brother who has been suffering in the poor mountains and rivers in Longxi for so many years. Today, he has to ask Brother Hong to transfer his second brother back to the capital and not to the capital. Even if it is near here, he will be transferred to a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River...
The little girl ran all the way in. Without waiting for the little girl to come closer, they stood up and hurried out to greet her.
When she went out of the door, she saw Jiang Hong stride into the hanging flower door. Mrs. Cui looked at her son and suddenly staggered. The girl next to her hurried forward to hold her. Mrs. Cui looked straight at her son with tears, but her throat was speechless.
Princess Jiang looked at Jiang Hong in a daze. She hasn't seen him for six or seven years. Now Jiang Hong is dressed in a purple shirt, and his short beard is extremely refreshing and neatly trimmed. Her straight eyebrows are still bright, but her light is all restrained. She looks like a warm and simple ancient jade. Although she can't tell how different he is, it makes you I couldn't help looking up at him.
Mrs Cui took her son and cried and laughed. It took a long time to let go of Jiang Hong and let him sit down. Princess Jiang listened patiently and listened to Mrs. Cui's miscellaneous questions about countless bodies, eating, dressing and all kinds of trivial and useless details. For a long time, she finally found a gap in the words and asked Jiang Hong with a smile, "I heard that you are going to enter the ceremonial Department to lead the left. The servant's messenger?"
"Yes." Jiang Hong answered calmly, and Princess Jiangjun smiled happily: "I heard that Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Ceremonies is old and sick. The days when he can see things in the department in a month can be counted with one hand. This Ministry of Ceremonies is not completely in the control of you, Zuo Shilang? This Zuo Shilang did Shangshu's job! Brother Hong is so capable that he has been working for a year and a half, and the designation of this minister has been smoothly promoted. Who doesn't know that the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies is the prime minister? Seeing that you can enter the cabinet, I have never heard of it when you are in your thirties! This is really..."
"Auntie, be careful!" Jiang Hongsu interrupted the joy of Princess Jiangjun: "Wouldn't this make people laugh at the frivolity and arrogance of my Jiang family?" Jiang Hong stared at Princess Jiangjun with a warning. Jiang Hong's eyes suddenly flashed fiercely. Princess Jiangjun swallowed all the words behind her. She trembled cleverly and dared not make a sound.
"Your aunt is a cautious person. We can't say this by ourselves. How can we talk about it outside?" Seeing that Princess Jiang's face was white, Mrs. Cui hurriedly circled the scene. Jiang Hongchong nodded with a gentle smile. When Princess Jiang saw his heavy and gentle smile, she relaxed and was a little annoyed for a moment. This is her nephew. What are she afraid of him? Really, after the matter of Dongyang County's palace, I am getting less and less bold! Shall we talk about the affairs of the eldest and the second now or not? He just came home today and said today, isn't it a little inappropriate? Princess Jiang found a step for herself and retreated. Didn't wait for her to make up her mind, Jiang Hong looked at her and mentioned her second brother Lin Yangwen first: "... Last month, the Longxi Road transshipment envoy Zhang Xing wrote me a letter," Lin Yangwen worked as a transshipment magist on Longxi Road. Princess Jiang County subconsciously straightened up. , looked at Jiang Hong nervously and waited for him to speak.
"It is said that he sent Lin Erge to collect the silk from all counties on Longxi Road. This difference is nothing more than finding out the quantity and level of silk sent by each county and then handing it over to the transportation. It was a very simple difference. Who knew that when handing over the transportation, 300 pieces of fine silk were missing, and the other was chaotic and the quantity was unified. No, Zhang transshipment hurriedly sent people to investigate, saying that the second brother thought it was cumbersome, and sent a little man to watch. He had only been there twice, and each trip only stood for half a quarter of an hour. Zhang Transshipment was very angry and had taken the second brother and said that he would be punished according to the law.
Princes Jiang's soul was scattered and couldn't speak. Jiang Hong's eyes flashed with indifference, and then said, "I have a very shallow relationship with Zhang Yung. I really can't say anything, so I have to entrust Duke Wen. My second sister-in-law is a girl from the Xu family of Le Ning, and she has always been close to Mrs. Duke Wen. Duke Wen can't care about it. I asked someone to write a letter. Go, the missing silk will be filled in. This matter will be mentioned by the gourd, but the second brother can't be kept on Longxi Road. Duke Wen sent someone to ask me how to arrange the second brother, what is the aunt's intention?
How could the princess of Jiangjun say anything? She looked at Jiang Hong with begging eyes: "Brother Hong, give your second brother an idea..."
"Well, I mean, the second brother likes to read and is not good at common affairs. It doesn't matter whether he gets it or not, the royal palace of Nanning County is not short of these two taels of salary and silver. It's better to let the second brother come back to read and recite poems, which also saves his aunt from time to worry about him." Jiang Hong's words were indifferent, and Princess Jiang's heart was like a knife. She understood this. When the second brother came back, there would be no future in the future.
"It's better for my aunt to make a decision on this matter. The second brother may be successful if he practices again, but if he wants to find another messenger, he has to go to Nanyi..."
"Let's come back...come back to read." Princess Jiang hurriedly answered, and the poisonous insects in Nanyi were rampant and miasma. If the second brother went to Nanyi, I'm afraid he would never come back! Jiang Hong listened to her answer and turned his head to talk about his mother's daily life. Princess Jiangjun sat in confusion for a moment and got up to say goodbye. Jiang Hong's smile melted and sent her out, but there was no warmth in his smile. He said that he would never show up in the Prince's mansion of Nanning one day!
