In a blink of an eye, Xu Chunjun and his wife have been in Chenzhou for two years.

After three years, the court sent new officials to take over.

And Zheng Wuji had to go back to Beijing to report on his duties and wait for arrangements.

Hearing that they were going to leave Chenzhou, the people cried and stayed, even knelt down.

Some even wrote a letter to Wanmin, imploring Zheng Wuji to stay.

It made Zheng Wuji and his wife very sad to let go.

But the imperial court has orders and has to obey them.

The person who came to take over as the magistrate of Chenzhou was none other than Zheng Wuji's early acquaintance Liu Zongrui.

He is two years older than Zheng Wuji, and he is also a second generation ancestor.

In the early years, the two always ate, drank and had fun together, and indulged in extravagance.

Afterwards they all took heart.

This time Liu Zongrui also came to take office with his family papers. He has a wife and a concubine, two sons and three daughters.

The wives and concubines get along well with each other, and the children and girlfriends love each other. It is a very harmonious family.

"Brother Zheng, don't come here without any problems, you are still so handsome!" Liu Zongrui laughed when he saw Zheng Wuji.

"Brother Liu, I think your style is better than before!" Zheng Wuji patted Liu Zongrui's shoulder affectionately.

They have known each other for nearly 30 years, which is not comparable to ordinary friendship.

Now that we meet again in the officialdom, don't feel a little emotional.

"Brother Zheng, if you hadn't worked so hard to pass the Jinshi exam, I wouldn't have the courage to study halfway." Liu Zongrui said with great admiration, "You are really a character!"

Liu Zongrui also has a title in his family. If he inherits the title, he can live a peaceful and prosperous life.

But what happened to Zheng Wuji later touched him a lot.

He also decided to see the good and think like others, study hard, and entered the officialdom two years later than Zheng Wuji.

"Back when I was wandering around, Brother Liu, you've actually come to your senses. Do you still remember what you said to me when you asked me to go to the restaurant?" Zheng Wuji also recalled that time, and couldn't help but be filled with emotion, "Tell me, Since I have wasted so many years of time, I might as well change my way of life. Marry a wife and have children, and serve my elders.

Anyway, I have played what I should play, and I have enjoyed what I should have fun.The prodigal son will not exchange money when he turns back, not to mention a good wife and loving mother at home, what more can a husband ask for. "

It is said that friends who are poor and humble cannot be forgotten, when Zheng Wuji was blinded by lard, among those friends, only Liu Zongrui had said such kind words to him.

So Zheng Wuji always remembered and was always grateful.

"That's right, that's right, I did say that." Liu Zongrui nodded, "At that time, shops all over the capital didn't dare to credit you, so you had no choice but to roam the streets and be seen by me."

Back then, Xu Chunjun trained his husband, which can be regarded as a good story in the capital.

Until now, many people have come up with it.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, now I think about what happened back then, and I break out in a cold sweat in the middle of the night." Zheng Wuji laughed at himself, "Brother Liu, you are much better than me, you are not as ridiculous as me."

"That's why you are so admirable." Liu Zongrui said, "After thousands of years, how many people can really change their minds?"

"You come to Chenzhou, I can't be more relieved. With you here, the common people don't have to worry." Zheng Wuji was very pleased. Chenzhou was the place where he had devoted his heart and soul. Of course he hoped that his successor would be a good official.

"Brother Zheng, with you wading ahead, do I dare to walk indiscriminately? The people of Chenzhou are so reluctant to part with you. If I am too short, I don't need to be punished by my superiors, and I will be drowned by the spittle of the people." Liu Zongrui shook his head and laughed again. …

Liu Zongrui is not a fool, of course he knows what he should do.

How many pairs of eyes are staring at this place, and after the local people have experienced a parent official like Zheng Wuji, it is not something ordinary people can do.

What's more, if he can't make achievements in Chenzhou, Zheng Wuji will not let him go.

He is not the kind of stupid official who is eager for quick success and only wants to fill his own pocket. He is also ambitious and ambitious.

The two families had a meal together in the Yamen Office, and after handing over, Zheng Wuji left Zhengzhou and returned to the capital with the family papers.

On the day they boarded the boat, Zheng Wuji deliberately chose to leave before dawn.

But all the people in Chenzhou came to see him off.

The see-off team was hundreds of miles long.

Zheng Wuji and Xu Chunjun bid farewell to each other with tears, this land is rich, and they don't know when they will see each other again.

It is early autumn now.

Zheng Wuji's family of four sat on the boat, watching the dawn break through the sky.

Fang Fei was three and a half years old, and her second daughter, Aluan, whose name was bestowed by Empress Cen Yunchu, was already over one year old.

Xu Chunjun is still pregnant with one, and it has been more than four months.

Fang Fei was still so lively, as long as she was awake, she would chatter non-stop.

Aluan's temperament is more stable, and she is more like Xu Chunjun in all aspects.

Ziling has another son, who is already two years old.

"Following the family letter last month, Ah Nuan gave birth to another son." Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "Looking back at our family's Fang Fei and A Luan, she is going to be greedy again."

Both daughters were in Zheng Wuji's arms, he coaxed them to sleep, the younger one coaxed the older one.

"I don't know if this baby is a boy or a girl." Xu Chunjun looked down at his stomach, "If it's a girl, are you a little disappointed?"

Zheng Wuji wiped off the crab paste from the corners of his sleeping daughter's lips while saying: "What is there to be disappointed about? There is something to hug in my arms, why is it a man?"

"It's a pity, my brother-in-law is going to work outside." Xu Chunjun sighed, "We just returned to Beijing, and my sister and the others are leaving again."

Zheng Yuelang's husband, Li Kaiyan, is upright and capable, and was promoted within a few years after entering the officialdom.

The imperial court appointed him to work in Suizhou, and he might not come back after three or five years.

"Anyway, we can meet again." Zheng Wuji said, "If I miss it, there is nothing I can do."

People in the officialdom cannot help themselves.

How many relatives and friends have experienced ups and downs in the old officialdom, and they have not seen each other for 20 years.

"My third sister and the others have left too." Xu Chunjun said, "I left Beijing on the fifth day of this month, so I won't be able to see her again.

When they returned to Beijing, we went to Chenzhou for the second time, and it took more than 20 days, less than a month.This time we go back, they left again. "

"We should be able to catch up with Uncle's birthday when we go back?" Zheng Wuji asked, "You have prepared the birthday gift."

"Do you still remember?" Xu Chunjun smiled, "It's ready."

"After returning to Beijing, I should be able to rest for a few days. If you don't want to travel around, then go around the city and I will accompany you." Zheng Wuji said.

"In the past few years, everything in the bank has been as usual, and everything in the house is fine. After I go back, I have to hold a banquet first. Thank you, shopkeeper Yi, and the others." Xu Chunjun said, "Let's talk about other things later."

"Well, after all, the housekeepers worry a lot." Zheng Wuji smiled, "I still only think about eating, drinking and having fun."

At this time, Jiang Han’s autumn shadows, geese flocking, reeds on both sides of the bank are green, and maple leaves are scorching. It is refreshing to look at.
