The gentleman's way

Chang Ning thought about putting down the jade pendant, and felt a little melancholy again. At the end of the year, the emperor's health became more and more unbearable. In the end, he ordered Yan Hong to come to Beijing, and they hadn't seen each other for three months.

Except for those years of separation in the middle, they have never really had such a long parting, which is why Jun Changning is even more anxious to return to Beijing.Looking at the family letter beside him, Jun Changning sighed again. Gu Yuhe was occasionally mentioned in her mother's letter, and she seemed to be quite satisfied with her in her words. She also said that the girl was virtuous and filial. By that time, Gu Yuhe was probably already someone else's wife, and he was destined to disappoint his mother.

At the beginning, the mother's letter would insinuate whether there were any female relatives here, and the people from the Jun family would also inquire carefully, but in the next few years, they did not ask again. Jun Changning sighed, not knowing Did he show his traces and let the Jun family find out, or did his mother give up?

Jun Changning actually misunderstood Zhang's intentions, because of Gu Yuhe's determination, Zhang's heart was full of emotion. At first, he only thought that his son might not be able to come back in a short time. If it was only three years, Yuhe would not have to wait for a long time. She is three years younger than Shiro, and it is not too late to get married by then. At that time, she heard Steward Zhao say that there are no female relatives here, so she was relieved, thinking that Shiro has never valued women, even if there is a housekeeper or something, when the time comes I was dismissed by myself, and I was worthy of Yuhe.

Mrs. Zhang praised Gu Yuhe in the letter, and naturally it was to make her son take care of him. Who knew that by mistake, the first letter with important things was wasted. Jun Changning didn't know that Gu Yuhe was still here for him. Wait, in his opinion, Zhang's veiled hint was nothing more than an elder nagging him that he missed a good girl.

These days, even unmarried couples will not do too unrestrained things. Jun Changning first had the concept of retiring the marriage, and the relationship between the Gu family and the Jun family has always been good. The Zhang family and the Gu family are still good friends. I would like to praise Gu Yuhe for being honest. It's a normal thing. Compared with this, he cares more about the lives of his older sisters. The eldest sister Jun Yuxuan came to the capital with the promoted Lin Zimo, and she can go home occasionally. She now has two sons and a daughter. As can be seen from his letter, life seems to be going well.

The second sister, Jun Yixuan, also has a son and a daughter, and the second brother-in-law, Meng Yuming, is dedicated. Although there are maids and other maids around her, those who gave birth to concubines and concubines are not raised by the second sister's side. From the point of view of this era, it is already very good, but in Jun Changning's opinion, the life of the second sister is probably not comfortable.

Mrs. Zhang doesn't often bring up the matter of the concubine sisters. She only knows that the third sister, fifth sister, sixth sister, and eighth sister are all okay. There are some things that don't go well, but they are not difficult to overcome.It's just that the life of the fourth sister Jun Linxuan is a bit sad. She married into an official family and is a concubine. At first, she seemed to be very good, but gradually she realized that the mother-in-law is not the real mother-in-law, and the husband of the concubine is also a nuisance. Yes, it's okay to be cowardly, but also quite beautiful.

Jun Linxuan is just a middle-aged purple. After giving birth, she became whiter and fatter. Naturally, she is not as good as those little goblins who fall down when the wind blows. It is not easy for those three sons and concubines to step on her.It's just that the innocent, talkative and laughing little girl has probably changed beyond recognition.

Mrs. Zhang would never mention the matter of the eighth miss, but the ninth sister was considered a high-ranking married woman. When Jun Changning was in high school, life was really good, but it took six years for her younger brother to go to Qinguan. There is some contempt for the inside and outside of the family dialect.Fortunately, Shi Wenhua has some affection for his wife, so that he can survive.Mrs. Zhang gave birth to three daughters by herself, but these daughters were all good at giving birth to sons. Miss Jiu also had twins, both of whom were sons. For the sake of this, the Shi family would not treat her too much.

Every time Jun Changning reads it, he feels a little melancholy. Even though he has deep affection for Yan Hong, he never gave up his plan to go back, because he knows that he has already let the Jun family down once. If he stays here and never goes back, Jun The family is even more like losing his own son. At that time, he will not be able to bully anyone who wants to be bullied, and he will not be able to help those sisters.

When Zhao Mingde came in, he saw Jun Changning's lingering melancholy, even though he was used to seeing adults, he couldn't help feeling distressed.In fact, in his heart, or in the hearts of all the people in Qinguan, he wished that Mr. Jun would stay in Qinguan for the rest of his life.But he also understands in his heart that Mr. Jun is a man of great talent, and he will definitely not stay in this mountain nest for the rest of his life. Now that General Yan has returned to the court, his lord and General Yan have always been on good terms. After someone in the court speaks, it will definitely be faster go back.

"My lord, let's rest for a while. Although the official business is important, you should also pay attention to your health." Zhao Mingde said with a smile, and then added a compliment, "If there is no lord these years, the people of Qinguan may still be living in the same hungry way as before. How can there be such a good day today, what adults have done is enough."

Jun Changning smiled, he is the magistrate of Qinguan, but what he does for the people is his own business. In fact, he has made a lot of money over the years.Even if there is no corruption, the profit of wine is huge. In order to get better channels, some businessmen naturally start from their own side, and the people of Qinguan get richer, and more things are delivered to their door.Jun Changning doesn't need to search for the people's fat and people's ointment, but he is also very rich.

"Why didn't you see the Qi family today?" This is a rare thing, Mr. Jun doesn't like others to be close to him, and the only one who serves him personally is the Qi family.Over the years, Mr. Jun can be said to be as guarded as a jade, and everyone has made various speculations in private. After all, with his talent and appearance, there are many maids and maidservants who are sent to the door, even young ladies.

Jun Changning smiled when he thought of the Qi family. The matter between him and Yan Hong could be hidden from the world but not from the Qi family. It took a lot of effort to convince the Qi family. A woman in the house got it right, and Jun Changning decided to marry her. After all, this woman was older than herself, and she didn't like men. It would be too late if she didn't start a family.

The daughter-in-law of the Qi family is a local, and has also learned some martial arts. She is tall and strong among women, and she is very straightforward. The Qi family believes that filial sons are born under the stick, and they are shouting and killing all day long. Even her daughter-in-law said that she must teach them a lesson. The three brats knew that the only person who could save them was Lord Jun, and they were very affectionate to him.

"It's the daughter-in-law's birthday of the Qi family, and a few little dolls kept whispering in my ears all day long, so I simply asked their father and son to go back, which gave my wife a headache." , They are all loud, and it is very lively when they stay in the same courtyard.

Zhao Mingde seemed to have thought of that scene too, and couldn't help but smile a little. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a small official coming in from outside, and said respectfully, "My lord, Mr. Zhao, there are envoys over there in the capital." coming."

75. Back to Beijing

"Following the heavens, the emperor ordered, saying:

Today there is Changning, the governor of Qin Guanzhi Prefecture. During his tenure, a good ruler will reward the good and eliminate the people's troubles, love the people like children, cover them like the sky, and tolerate them like the earth.To give birth to a child with gentleness, to pacify the common people; to cover with tolerance, to harass and subdue the different.If he has great talent and general plan, he is not happy with small officials and is unknown, so that the two systems can be implemented exceptionally.

Today, 300 taels of gold, 1000 taels of silver, and [-] bolts of silk and satin are bestowed.Order Qing to return to the capital as soon as possible without any mistakes. "

Jun Changning was a little confused after hearing the imperial decree, and thought to himself that after six years of hard work, the emperor was still a little confused. The rewards are very rich, even though he thought that his achievements in Qinguan in the past few years have been very outstanding and brought unexpected tax revenue to the emperor, but he still feels a little uneasy to be praised like this.

There is another one. The imperial decree did not mention his position after returning to the capital. Jun Changning sighed. It is useless to think too much at this time. He just accepted the imperial edict respectfully and handed him a red envelope to the eunuch before laughing. He said: "My father-in-law has worked hard from a long distance, please come in and have a rest."

That father-in-law is also a good person, otherwise the emperor would not have assigned such a good job to him, and there is another handsome man who sees Jun Changning and is born as a champion, but he has complete etiquette for an eunuch like himself, and he does not look down on him in the slightest. I liked it a little in my heart, pinched the red envelope again, and said with a smile: "My lord, you are very polite, the next successor of Qinguan Zhizhou has come with the slaves, please hand over as soon as possible, so that you can go back to Beijing with the slaves." .”

Jun Changning's eyes flickered slightly. It turned out that during the action just now, the eunuch secretly stuffed a ball of paper over, Jun Changning had some guesses in his heart, and smiled to welcome a few people in.The new Zhizhou who came with the eunuch is a middle-aged man, he looks quite refined, and his eyes are firm, at least he will not be a sneaky person.

Jun Zhang Ning Weiwei was relieved, and introduced a group of subordinates to the new magistrate, and only had time to look at the ball of paper after she was done with work.Sure enough, in order to let him go back, Yan Hong did not spend less effort. After all, after six years of hard work, the emperor had already forgotten the number one scholar he had hoped for at the beginning. After all, there were two imperial examinations, and the number one scholar was not alone.Fortunately, Qinguan's tax revenue has increased every year,
