Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

The young Confucius did not like to be an official, he only loved to be a scholar.

This time I came to Ganzhou purely to help Chu Tianjiao.

He rejected Chu Tianjiao's request for him to serve as a subordinate officer, and only wanted to serve as a staff member.

"After your tax reform in the five states is successfully implemented, I will return to Taixue." Young Confucius said.

Chu Tianjiao packed up Zhang Tianhe's private residence opposite the Zhou Mu Mansion.

Li Yanghou, Chu Sheng, and Xiao Kongfuzi all moved there.

After Li Yanghou and Chu Tianjiao got together for three days, they set off to the border to inspect defense.

He made an appointment to come back and accompany Chu Tianjiao to various places to support her when he was about to issue a decree on tax reform.

Chu Sheng directly started working in the Prefecture Mufu. He is now the Northwest Dao Du Branch Commander, and he has just taken over. He needs to gather the financial and taxation official system of the five prefectures, and he is very busy.

Fortunately, he brought several senior bookkeepers over to help him sort out the accounts of previous years, from which he could sort out the past tax history of the five states.

This prevented him from being fooled by the tax officials below.

At noon that day, Chu Tianjiao was so noisy by the cicadas in the yard that he ended his lunch break early and walked to the corridor to watch the two kittens raised by Chu Qingyan fighting.

Chu Qingyan had her hair loose, wearing an apricot-colored thin silk jacket and leggings, and ran out of the house barefoot.

Her maid Xiao Shi chased after her, calling out: "Little miss, put on your shoes!"

Outside this section of the corridor, a clump of bamboo was planted. In the shadow, it seemed less stuffy than inside.

Chu Qingyan ran to Chu Tianjiao, squatted down, picked up a golden-layered cat, and held it under her, thus separating the two fighting cats.

"Where did you get this cat?"

Before Chu Tianjiao went to Yuzhou, there were no two cats in the courtyard.

Chu Qingyan turned her head unnaturally, "It was given by someone else."

Xiao Shi brought Chu Qingyan's shoes, put them on for her, and then reached out to hold Chu Qingyan's hair.

"This is what Ge Baihu brought to the little lady to relieve her boredom before setting off."

Seeing that Chu Qingyan didn't answer Chu Tianjiao's words, Xiao Shi answered for her.

Chu Qingyan frowned and spat, "You are the one who talks too much. I will punish you by not having any sour plum soup today."

Chu Tianjiao took the comb from Xiao Shi's hand and waved: "Go to the kitchen and bring us two bowls of sour plum soup, one bowl with ice and one bowl without ice."

After Xiao Shi retreated, Chu Tianjiao combed Chu Qingyan's hair and chuckled: "This cat is so stupid that it is quite rare."

Chu Qingyan puffed out her cheeks, hiding her embarrassment and pretending to concentrate on petting the cat.

"Great-aunt, please don't torment this cat. It's very hot."

Chu Tianjiao tied two neat little pigtails for Chu Qingyan and rolled them up on her head to prevent her neck from getting prickly and prickly.

During her absence, Chu Qingyan handled Ganzhou's government affairs in an orderly manner.

Chu Tianjiao just finished checking the government affairs summary made by Chu Qingyan this morning and was very satisfied.

She found that as long as she told Chu Qingyan her political thoughts, Chu Qingyan would be able to arrange everything according to her ideas.

This relieved Chu Tianjiao's worries.

"Grandma, although I am back, I have to raise food and wages, and things are too complicated. I have to ask you to continue to take care of the daily affairs of Ganzhou."

Chu Qingyan pursed his lips, but did not object.

When Xiao Shi brought the sour plum soup, Chu Tianjiao returned the comb to Xiao Shi and asked her to go down and get a bowl herself.

Chu Qingyan punished Xiao Shi just now, and Chu Tianjiao rewarded him again. Xiao Shi grinned at Chu Qingyan and smiled.

Chu Qingyan yelled at her angrily: "You are back with support, let's see what you can do? Go ahead, I won't kill you if I drink you!"

After Xiaoshi left, the grandfather and grandson sat on the bamboo mats and drank sour plum soup.

After a bowl of ice-cold sour plum soup, Chu Tianjiao felt much better. Then he heard Chu Qingyan holding the bowl, his eyes evasive over the amber sour plum soup, and asked hesitantly:

"Jiaojiao, you took that so-and-so to Nanchu, and you're not afraid that that so-and-so won't come back?"

Chu Tianjiao didn't realize who it was for a moment.

Seeing that Chu Qingyan was hesitant to speak, he asked suspiciously, "Who is it? Grandma, are you talking about grandpa, or your adopted son Lu Qiankun?"

Chu Qingyan seemed a little embarrassed, thinking that Chu Tianjiao was deliberately pretending to be stupid to tease her, and almost buried her head in the bowl.

After a while, he said in a muffled voice:

"Adopted son? Why should I ask that white-eyed wolf?

Didn't you ask Lu Chengji to follow Qiao Xing to Nanchu to buy grain?

It's been almost two months since he left, and there is still no news. Do you think he will follow his son and stay in Nanchu? "

Chu Tianjiao looked at the two kittens dozing lazily not far away, and finally understood something.

Chu Qingyan usually didn't like to see Lu Chengji. From what he heard, was he worried that Lu Chengji wouldn't come back?

It seems that despite the quarrels between these two people, there is still a little bit of love between husband and wife.

I also thought about the deep love between Lu Dingfeng and Jiang Yanni. Even after rebirth, there was a huge gap in their identities, but they still supported each other.

Chu Tianjiao couldn't help but sigh: "There are thousands of couples in this world, and their ways of getting along are really weird!"

When Chu Tianjiao went to Yuzhou, he didn't take Lu Chengji with him.

Qiao Xing came back from Shu and said that there was no food available in Shu.

Chu Tianjiao asked Lu Chengji to accompany Qiao Xing to Nanchu to see if he could think of a way to bring back a batch of grain.

Southern Chu was prosperous, and rice was harvested three times a year. The price of grain was much lower than that of Li State.

However, if you want to buy the food back, you must have local connections.

Lu Chengji's son, Lu Qiankun, became the bastard Jing Zhao of the Southern Chu Jing family after his rebirth.

Chu Tianjiao met Jing Zhao in Dongyi.

According to Lu Qiankun, as soon as he was reborn, he was floating on the sea.

This Jing Zhao was sold into slavery in Nanyang by his aunt and uncle.

An accident occurred on the slave ship at sea, and Jing Zhao himself died. Only then did Lu Qiankun have the opportunity to be reborn in Jing Zhao.

Lu Qiankun did not want to stay in Li country with Chu Tianjiao.

Instead, he asked Chu Tianjiao to send someone to send him back to Nanchu.

According to the message sent by Chu Tianjiao to escort Jing Zhao, Jing Zhao had returned to the Jing family.

Chu Tianjiao wanted to buy grain in Nanchu, and hoped that Lu Qiankun would help the people of Liguo for the sake of his father, Lu Chengji.

At the same time, Chu Tianjiao also sent spies to inquire about the movements of the Southern Chu Kingdom.

Yesterday, Chu Tianjiao had just received intelligence information that Lu Qiankun had used his excellent palace fighting skills to gain a foothold in the Jing family, killing his brother and driving his mother crazy.

He also devised a vicious plan for the Emperor of Nanchu to disintegrate the alliance of the barbarian tribes. The Nanchu army put down the barbarian rebellion that had plagued Nanchu for nearly 20 years in one fell swoop, forcing the remaining barbarians to move south.

There is also news in the intelligence that the Emperor of Nanchu will send a delegation to Liguo. The specific purpose is unknown.

Nanchu has banned the grain trade with Li Guo, but Lu Qiankun said that he would secretly assist Qiao Xing in transporting [-] shi of grain out of Nanchu, and Chu Tianjiao would need to send someone to help.

Chu Tianjiao wanted to take the opportunity to go to the border of Nanchu, but unfortunately she had too many decisions to make and she couldn't leave at all.

Chu Tianjiao asked people to call Chu Minyu back from the "Taziwo" camp, and planned to ask her second brother to make this trip to receive the [-] shi of food.

Chu Tianjiao told Chu Qingyan about Nan Chu’s situation.

"Don't worry, Grandma, Grandpa will definitely come back. But your adopted son is really awesome. I really didn't expect that he could establish himself in the Jing family so quickly."

"What's so strange about this? Don't forget, he was originally a concubine. I think even I was coaxed by him. He returned to the Jing family to fight with his aunt and brother. Isn't it familiar? ?”

When Lu Qiankun was mentioned, Chu Qingyan became dissatisfied.

Chu Qingyan had no children in her life, and she truly regarded Lu Qiankun as her son at first, but she didn't expect that Lu Qiankun would target the Chu family after her death.

Chu Qingyan solemnly warned Chu Tianjiao: "You have to guard against Lu Qiankun. You have to be careful. If he encourages you to help him win the throne of Southern Chu, you must not agree."

Chu Tianjiao was puzzled: "He is just a concubine of the Jing family. Even if he takes over the position of head of the Jing family, can he still lead the Jing family to rebel and ascend to the throne?"

Chu Qingyan nodded: "Lu Qiankun is crazy about power, and even if he dies once, he may not be able to solve it.

The power of the Jing family in Southern Chu is equivalent to that of the Chu family in Liguo.

Once he ascends to the position of head of the Jing family, there is no guarantee that he will not have such thoughts. "

Chu Tianjiao thought of another aspect, "Auntie, if Lu Qiankun can provoke another civil strife in Nanchu, Nanchu will be temporarily unable to go north to deal with Li Guo. This can avoid what I am most worried about happening."

What Chu Tianjiao is most worried about is that several other countries will take advantage of the natural disaster in Liguo this year to jointly send troops.

But she didn't expect that the second prince of Dongyi, Shangguan Lie, was in contact with her about what she was worried about.

The reason why the Emperor of Southern Chu was preparing to send an envoy to Liguo was because he did not want to believe Shangguan Lie's one-sided words and was planning to send someone to Liguo to find out the truth in person.
