Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 561, private use of public power

As the summer was about to pass, Yun Zhan received a letter from Yunlong, an official document and a letter from home. Yun Zhan took the home letter home and presented it to his parents first: "Father, if you don't follow, your wings will be stiff. There are two Months, this is the first official document and the first letter.”

When the protector read the letter, he only asked, "How is everything settled?"

The Huguogong's Mansion and the Heping Xijun Wangfu can't be said to be close friends. When the Huguogongs are not generals of the town, they are also important members of the Ministry of War. They have more or less jurisdiction over the military power of other provinces. In Yunzhan's generation, they directly govern the whole country Military power, in terms of the status of the emperors of the past dynasties in the Pingxi County Prince's Mansion, he could turn his face at any time when he was unhappy.

Yun Zhan replied, "I will write after I settle down."

Duke Protector hehe: "If you don't accept the orders of the generals abroad, you, if you can manage a part of it, you will be content."

After reading the letter, he handed it to the princess, and took the cloud peony in the princess's arms. Looking at his grandfather's similar face, he was still happy no matter what he saw.

Yun Mudan is learning to speak: "Today, today, today,"

The protector corrected with a smile: "Letter, brother, letter,"

When Yun Zhan returned to his room, he delivered the letter to Yuan Xiu. Yuan Xiu couldn't put it down and opened it: "Finally, there is a letter, but there is a letter from Brother Ying and Jie. Why is there only a letter from Brother Long?"

Yun Zhan said, "Look at the back first."

Sure enough, Yuan Xiu turned to the end and saw a line that said, "Parents please send greetings on behalf of older brothers and younger brothers, too busy to reply."

Yuan Xiu sighed: "The battle hasn't officially started yet, why are you so busy that you don't have time to write a letter?"

Yun Zhan said: "Pedestrians are afraid of being long-winded at home, so if you write late and write less letters, you will listen less."

"It really shouldn't be. Pedestrians should think of caring for them at home when they are away." Yuan Xiu looked at half a piece of paper, remembered it, and smiled at her husband: "You understand so well, how could you have done this before?"

Yun Zhanyile: "Yes."

Taking out his father's airs: "Brother Long, I did all these little tricks back then."

Yuan Xiu had a disdainful expression, and then he wrote seriously. Seeing that the king of Pingxi County was agitating for an early war and Yunlong proudly said that he and the other party would come to deal with each other. "If only there were no wars."

If it was when she was still in her boudoir, the female relatives might be full of worries, but her parents were in the border town all the year round, and sometimes a few words were brought out in the letter to let Yuanxiu see that the border town was difficult.Her husband is also a first-rank military general in this dynasty, the highest official position among military generals, and he doesn't like to talk about business affairs when he returns home, but he also inadvertently brings out a few words to let Yuan Xiu know that some battles may be unavoidable.

Of course, this did not prevent Yuanxiu and Yanyan Lvzhu from praying for peace in the world when they went to the temple to offer incense.

Married in such a family, some things can be understood at will, just like after reading the letter, Yuanxiu asked Yun Zhan: "Pingxi County King seems to have agreed with you to go to war in a few years, this is bullying Brother Long's young age. Is it? Instigate war now."

Yun Zhan said: "There are also bullies when you are young, and there are also selfish mischief."

Yuanxiu said: "Isn't it better for the national treasury to hoard for a few years before going to war?"

Yun Zhan said: "This is an idea without selfishness. The Pingxi County kings of all generations were eager to spend the treasury money." After a pause, he smiled: "They thought that the matter of interrogating them would be reduced."

Yuanxiu frowned slightly, and glanced at her husband for a moment, because he was afraid that he would worry about herself when he saw it, so she pretended to be calm and read Yunlong's family letter again, and smiled again: "I can see that Brother Long is not afraid of Pingxi County. Wang, Brother Jie dares to make noise."

Yun Zhan laughed: "Brother Jie has been rambunctious since he was a child." The brothers let him, He Jie's rambunctiousness was cultivated since he was a child, and he will not stop unless he wins the things he believes.

When Yuan Xiu watched it for the third time, her heart became more clear: "The county lord gave birth to a boy and a girl, and brother Jie kept arguing about the girl's return to Qi's house. This also frustrated the prestige of King Pingxi."

"Yeah," Yun Zhan said leisurely, everyone in this dynasty recognizes that the son-in-law will belong to Yue's family, and it is a good opportunity for He Jie to use this to make trouble and successfully lead out trouble in business.

Yuan Xiu smiled sweetly: "The children have grown up."

She looked at her husband, who gave birth to a child several years after they got married, Yun Zhan went out in his twenties in the year of marriage, her husband was already in his forties, but he still looked so young.

Yun Zhan also just said: "You are the same as before," followed by another sentence: "When arguing with the dude."

Yuan Xiu rolled his eyes at him: "Can't I have a bit of an elegant image in your heart?" Yun Zhan laughed.

This smile was too deliberate, Yuan Xiu knew that he deliberately made himself happy, and didn't want to make himself worry about Yunlong, so he also laughed a few more words to cheer him up.

There is some worry, but marrying into such a family, the father-in-law is a military general, the mother-in-law was the leader who broke into the palace and established the emperor back then, the husband is a military general, and Yunlong is a military general. I can only accept it, and I must accept it.

The next day, Yuanxiu invited Yanyan Lvzhu to offer incense to the temple, and showed them Yunlong's letter. Write one, if I'm not too busy writing scripts, I'll definitely write ten pieces of paper to teach them."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Yanyan, Yanyan was serious: "I'm busy too. Brother Ying is not at home, and the dude took away Guisheng. My mother-in-law came to see me and said that the house was deserted every day, so she wanted me to go home, but I Thinking about it, I feel deserted. There are so many empty yards and empty houses in such a big old house. Zhang’s mother once said that when she lived in the past, she never dared to go to a quiet place, saying that it’s not good if there are few adults in the house. I’m also afraid. .”

Luzhu immediately said: "You are not allowed to go home until the Mid-Autumn Festival. Whenever I argue with Brother Ning at night, I can only lose if you are not here."

Yuan Xiu showed great concern: "The loser is really writing the script for you?" After finishing speaking, he let out a laugh, revealing that he was just a joker.

Luzhu beamed with joy: "Ever since Brother Jie was a candidate, the losers lost their spirit of reading. I watched coldly, but luckily I didn't delay entertaining the scholars who came to study, so I naturally ignored him. Brother Jie ended up fighting martial arts again. Ordinary but good at both literature and martial arts, and those who fail to come back later look like this."

Slumped down at the waist, lowered his head, and let out a faint sigh: "Oh, is it really like what my father and relatives said? The reading spirit can only be transported to me as the tenth in Chunwei, and the rest belongs to Brother Jie, that's all, that's all. The word has nothing to do with me, so be serious and congratulate Wanwan."

After Lu Zhu finished speaking, she covered her face and giggled.

Yanyan was surprised: "No, it's not that the one who lost the ranking didn't realize it a long time ago, saying that being with the sisters is the most important thing, and then wrote a letter to make fun of my brother and Han brother, as if he was the only one who cared about us the most. Why did he make such a sigh again? ?”

Yuan Xiu teased: "The word fame and fame is a regret in my heart. Brother Jie is capable of both literature and martial arts, so the heart of being defeated is immediately filled, and I can't get over it without sighing."

Yanyan and Yuanxiu said in unison: "Luzhu, you go home to settle accounts with him at night, and you are the best with your sisters, and you are not allowed to compete with your children like this in the future."

Luzhu couldn't help laughing: "It's all right to fight, and I haven't fought, let me laugh for a while, hahahaha,"

Almost smiling, said: "I have sent out my feelings, so I will write the script for me."

Yanyan and Yuanxiu said in unison again: "This is his serious business." The three of them giggled and laughed again.

Huang Ying is now in charge, waiting outside the room to take care of the tea and food. When she saw Madam Gao coming in, she hurriedly replied. How many days will it take, do you want Sister Mei to wait on you?"

Yuan Xiu said: "Today is only one day. Every family has auspicious omens. Seeking more seems to worry Mo Ming. Tomorrow, let Sister Mei go to pay her respects to grandma. Brother Ying, Brother Long, and Brother Jie are gone. Many fewer people."

Mrs. Gao said with a smile: "Then I will accompany you until the evening to pay respects to my son-in-law."

Yanyan Luzhu didn't ask why she didn't bring Gao Mei with her when she left the house, and Mrs. Gao couldn't explain why she thought it was convenient to talk. She went to pay homage to the Daxiong Palace, and when the four women came back to chat, Mrs. Gao was talking nonsense. Xi asked, pretending to talk about this year's autumn: "In the past, your family entertained a lot of scholars. I don't know if you still act like this this year?"

Yuan Xiu said: "Of course, firstly, we will have a residence for the scholar in Xinji School, and secondly, the families from other provinces that my mother-in-law has to take care of, and many people from each department will come to Beijing, this needs to be arranged."

Mrs. Gao pretended to be envious: "Yes, this is also a good thing to do good deeds. Although my family can't compare, I have also learned from you in the past few years to entertain scholars from my hometown, so that they can take the exam with peace of mind. Give merit."

In the afternoon they dispersed and went back to their homes. Mrs. Gao couldn't wait and came to see Gao Mingying at the Ministry of Criminal Justice: "However, Qiao'er's mother-in-law is offering incense to Brother Long in the temple today. I think this is a perfect time. There are few people in front of her who are easy to talk to, so I will go I’ve asked, Xinji scholars are still entertained at home as usual, now there is only one thing, the kid you mentioned is called Noble, can he pass this subject?”

Gao Mingying said: "I can't say that well, but you can ask your in-laws first. As long as Laibao is in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he has to go to Beijing. Then let's see how he treats Xiang'er and whether he has affection or not." You can see it."

Mrs. Gao hesitated: "I don't think my son-in-law's family is poor and has no status, as long as he is a decent person, but isn't it for Xiang'er to think about it among the children in Beijing?"

Gao Mingying was helpless: "Do you think Xiang'er's eyes can see into others?"

Mrs. Gao suddenly lost her temper: "When Bai Shu went to the northwest, Xiang'er held a banquet to see Brother Long off, and saw him off again. Bai Shu brought more than a dozen brothers. I asked, and two of them did not leave Beijing. I said it was okay to come and play, but it really came. When I was sitting, Xianger still looked like a girl. If I was in charge of something, I made up my mind, so I left Banzhuxiang. When I came back, Xianger took them I went to the horse racing competition, she was sweating all over her face, which normal boy would suit her? I said hurry up and go to the kitchen to cook, and I will cook your specialty, Xianger said in front of the two boys The dishes she cooks are not worthy of these two."

Gao Mingying couldn't help being handsome.

Mrs. Gao softened when she said this: "Well, I just asked her who deserves to eat? Where is the person who deserves to eat? Xiang'er said that there are people who deserve to eat. Sigh,"

After hearing her husband say that Gao Xiang likes Laibao, Mrs. Gao figured it out countless times, but she couldn't figure it out within two days. At this time, she figured it out again, and bowed deeply to her husband after the case: "Thank you for your help." Don't worry about your daughter's troubles, if you are troublesome, you are willing to make concessions on your daughter's marriage."

The Gao family, the mansion of the Minister of Justice, isn't it picky when it comes to their daughter's marriage?

Gao Mingying also sighed: "So what if I don't give in, all the girls in the family who are younger than Xiang'er have given birth to children."

Mrs. Gao began to hesitate again, her heart fluttered for her daughter: "If this year is not going well, brother Long led troops to the northwest, and sister Mei's marriage was postponed, can he do it?"

"Whether it's OK or not, you can only try it." Gao Mingying said: "Qiu Wei hasn't started yet, it's useless if you think too much, see if he is in the Qiu Wei, I'll read his test paper and see."

Mrs. Gao said goodbye and was about to go home, Gao Mingying called her again: "You didn't tell Sister Mei about this, did you?"

"No, I didn't bring her with me when I met my in-laws today."

Gao Mingying nodded: "Sister Mei is sensible and tight-lipped, and I'm not too low for Brother Long. But don't tell her yet, if you need her to talk, it's not too late to tell her."

Mrs. Gao should go home.

Yanyan turned a corner before going back to the shop. Although Luan Ying only said hello to her family, she went to tell her in-laws that the Marquis of Nanyang was in the yamen, and Mrs. Marquis of Nanyang asked endless questions. She wanted to know the latest situation of Luan Ying, and when would she come back? Beijing, Yanyan made it up for her now.

While talking, Ma thanked the husband and wife for coming in. Those who came to Beijing together with Yunlong’s letter also had a letter from Ma Wen and Wu Si’s family. Yun Zhan ordered someone to send it today. That's good, when my cousin is a relative, I also treat myself and Wu Si as relatives by the way.

Ma thanked Ma for the inconvenience of staying for a long time, and his aunt Madam Ma stayed to flatter Yanyan and Uncle Qi, Yanyan sat down for a while and went back to the shop.

The next day, Mrs. Linjiang Hou Shizi, Wu Si's mother came to thank her.

Yanyan asked someone to give the gift to Yuanxiu: "Whoever deserves the credit will claim it, I don't care about it for nothing." Yuanxiu kept whatever he wanted, and returned the rest.

Autumn is coming soon, Gao Mingying just finds a reason, and the tolerance of the Ministry of Justice dispatches a batch of test papers from Xinji at a speed comparable to that of the Ministry of War, including Noble. After reading it, Gao Mingying went home and said to his wife: "The examiner only needs Don't be confused, this kid can pass the undergraduate course."

The speed of Gao Shangshu is too fast, and Qiuwei in other provinces has not finished grading the papers, so how can this test paper enter Beijing, copy a copy now.

When the news came again, it was in October, and Yunlong was still circling in the northwest, refusing to go to war, to buy more time for the Ministry of Households to allocate money and grain. Yuan Gong sent a letter: "Laibao and I have both won, just wait, we are going to Beijing, you promise to treat me, Qiudi, and Laibao to eat delicious food after entering Beijing, don't forget."

The eyeliner of the sophomore girl was everywhere, she called Yuan Gong a few more times to Uncle, said that Uncle and Brother Laibao entertained me, and when I entered Beijing Chunwei, I must tell myself that I should prepare for the reception early.

He said that he was extremely courteous, and Yuan Gong thought it would be difficult to turn down his kindness, so he wrote a letter.

As for the other daughter's feelings, Gao Xiang was embarrassed to say it, but Yuan Gong didn't see it, nor would he think of a girl and a boy together for no reason.

Gao Shang's family and Shu county magistrate's family usually don't think about their children's marriage, let alone young men and women who are innocent and have no wrong thoughts.

The letter was sent to Niu Wenwen, who was dispatched by the Ministry of War.

Why is the big thorn in the light of the Ministry of War? Yuan Gong has not seen his sister since he returned to the inland, and he can see his sister in the spring. The letter will be handed over to Niu Wenwen on the same day.

Gao Xiangming knew that it was impossible for Noble to enter Beijing the next day, but she still happily took the horse out of Beijing the next day and stood on the official road to watch.

Since then, I have been waiting every day.

　Correct the typo.
