Chapter 857 Brotherly Love

Du Jinning is having a banquet at home right now.

Since her daughter's body was exposed, she has never encountered a holiday.Guan Jiaze and the others didn't have time to come, and because Du Jinning suddenly became a woman, they didn't dare to come to ask for an explanation.

They are silent, but it doesn't mean that Du Jinning can live in peace.Although she has regained her daughter's body, she can no longer chat with them casually, drink and hang out as before, but she still cherishes the friendship of a few friends.Because of the difference between men and women, maybe they will gradually drift away in the future, but she doesn't want it to be caused by her own reasons.

So when it was finally the holiday, she quickly sent invitations to a few people, inviting them to meet in Du's mansion.

Of course, the most important thing is that Qi Muyuan is free this day, so he can come to the party.

This is the benefit of her future husband-in-law being one of the friends.

If there is no Qi Muyuan, if Qi Muyuan is not familiar with people like Guan Jiaze, it is really hard for her to meet these friends more often.Even if she doesn't care about her reputation, she has been in contact with these people a lot as a woman, not to mention Guan Jiaze and Liang Xiankuan's wife, even Du Fanghui may have pimples in her heart.

With Qi Muyuan around, the nature is completely different.

Guan Jiaze and the others were still a little cautious when they came, saluted Du Jinning, called "Princess", but was scolded by Du Jinning, and saw Du Jinning's wide robe with big sleeves, and only a hosta on his head. Their clothes were a little more feminine, and everything else was the same as before. Their behavior was still free and easy, their speech was even more frank and unrestrained, and their laughter and scolding were undisguised. They gradually relaxed and resumed their previous way of getting along.

"The eldest brother-in-law has been released for three years, and he will go to Beijing to report on his work in a few days. I don't know what he thinks about the new position." Du Jinning said.

Qi Muyuan said: "I asked my grandfather, he has been an excellent student for the past three years, and it is no problem to be promoted. I just don't know if he wants to return to Beijing or still go out."

Du Jinning asked Guan Jiaze, Liang Xiankuan and Fang Shaohua: "What about you?"

The three looked at each other.

"I want to let it out."

"I want to let it out."

Liang Xiankuan and Fang Shaohua said in unison.

After finishing speaking, both of them looked at each other with surprise expressions on their faces, obviously they didn't get along with each other.

Those who have been staying in the capital and have no experience as local officials are not easy to be promoted; staying in the local area is not enough.The fastest way to get promoted is to be a Beijing official—outside release—Beijing official—outside release.Now several people have worked in the capital for three years, and it is good for them to go out to experience the hardships of people's livelihood.

"What about you?" Du Jinning asked Guan Jiaze.

Guan Jiaze said: "You used to remind me to learn foreign languages, but now I have learned Dashi dialect and Riben dialect well. I have also met Mr. Honglu Temple several times. He saw that I speak foreign languages ​​well, so he treated me well. Thank you very much, let me go to Honglu Temple as soon as my term of office expires."

This is also the path that Du Jinning planned for him at the beginning.

In the past, the Song Dynasty did not have many contacts with foreign countries, and the Honglu Temple was not as good as the Ministry of Rites.After all, the Ministry of Rites is one of the six ministries of the Sanqing. It manages all kinds of etiquette ceremonies in the country and formulates the etiquette rules of the entire country, which is incomparable to Honglu Temple.

But a year ago, Song Dynasty sent a long-distance fleet. Once they return smoothly, get in touch with other countries, establish diplomacy, and even conduct trade exchanges, then the status of Honglu Temple will rise.The increased exchanges between Dashi, Japan, Koryo and Song Dynasty also made Honglu Temple more and more important.

Guan Jiaze had stayed in the Ministry of Rites and knew all the rules and regulations of the etiquette of the Song Dynasty; if he was allowed to stay in Honglu Temple to negotiate with foreign countries, he would have an advantage over those who only stayed in the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple.

Seeing that his friends had good plans for their careers, Du Jinning was relieved and asked Aoki to pour wine for everyone.

"What about you? Just like a princess?" Guan Jiaze asked, but looked at Qi Muyuan.

Du Jinning was the best and the most outstanding of them. Everyone felt uncomfortable staying at home and raising children for Qi Muyuan. They couldn't help feeling an inexplicable hostility towards Qi Muyuan.This hostility is not a relationship between men and women, but only lies in the admiration and maintenance of talents.

Seeing this, Qi Muyuan smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me?" He glanced at Du Jinning, "Do you think I can hold back what she wants to do?"

Everyone was silent, and then burst into laughter, and looked at Qi Muyuan with sympathy.

Du Jinning is more or less holding Qi Muyuan.Qi Muyuan wanted to detain Du Jinning, but it was difficult!If Du Jinning had lived at home, he wouldn't have disguised himself as a man to accomplish such a great career.

Qi Muyuan's desire to survive was still very strong. After saying this, he quickly turned his head to Du Jinning and said, "Besides, with your talent and mind, it's a waste of money to stay at home. So no matter what you do, I will support you. You Just do what you like. But if you are wronged, don't hide it from me, come back and tell me, and I will support you. "

Everyone: "..." They were caught off guard by a handful of dog food.

Is this still their taciturn, deadpan brother?
Du Jinning smiled at Qi Muyuan, responded to his kindness, and turned to everyone, "The teacher boarded the boat on the seventh day of this month, and will arrive in Beijing in half a month. Then we will welcome the teacher together."

It was Zhao He who ordered Guan Lehe to come back. As a nephew, Guan Jiaze only knew the approximate time, but he really didn't know the exact day.

Hearing this, he was overjoyed immediately, and said, "When will fourth uncle arrive, please tell me. I'll send someone to meet him."

He wanted to pick it up in person, but unfortunately he had to send someone to go to the Yamen.

"Okay." Du Jinning responded.

……

Guan Lehe stayed on the boat for almost a month, and after getting off the boat, he walked overland for a few days, and finally arrived in the capital on the ninth day of December.

Because the itinerary on the road was unpredictable, and thinking that Guan Jiaze was going to the Yamen, he didn't have time to pick him up. It's not that he didn't live in the capital, and he didn't need someone to pick him up, so he didn't bother to call someone to the capital to inform him in advance, and went back to Beijing directly.

I thought that no one would come to pick me up, but who knew that after passing the city gate after the inspection, a person walked up to him, bowed to him and called "Teacher".

When the man straightened up, Guan Lehe took a closer look and found that it was Du Jinning.

Du Jinning was afraid that Guan Lehe would not recognize him, so he still dressed in men's clothes.I haven't seen her in three years, except that she has grown taller and handsome, she is not much different from before.

"You..." Guan Lehe didn't expect to see Du Jinning here, and Du Jinning, who was dressed in men's clothes, couldn't help being stunned, "Why are you here? And you..." He pointed to Du Jinning's attire, suspicious in his eyes Not sure, I wonder if Du Jinning was joking with him in the letter, she is not a woman at all, and she has not been named the eldest princess.

Thinking of the identity of the eldest princess, he took another look around Du Jinning, and found that there was no one else around Du Jinning except a young servant.

Since she is the eldest princess, why is there no guard of honor?
