Zhou Banxia was convinced by her father's calculation, but as Zhou Shun expected, there were people who wanted to visit her when she first arrived in Fucheng.

In fact, not only her, but Gu Wenxuan also needed to show up to thank everyone for inviting him to stay before closing the door.

Had a good night's rest.

The next day someone was sent to deliver a greeting card to Gaofu, and the couple went to the senior management. Daoming was accompanied by clan members this time, so it was inconvenient to stay in Yunke Lai's courtyard.

Go to Ruyifang again.

Shopkeeper Hu, who had been waiting for a long time, came to the backyard and said with a smile that if the young couple had not considered the long journey, he would have come to the door in person to ask why they were not obedient.

Zhou Banxia also said that there were clan members accompanying him this time, but mentioned that the embroidery would still take half a month to complete. As expected by Gu Wenxuan, his wife was beaten by Shopkeeper Hu.

Don’t be anxious about the embroidery due in August. What could be more important than the scientific examination? Didn’t you mention repeatedly in the letter that it’s okay if you can’t hand it in?

Even when your father came in person, he didn't tell Xiaoliuzi in advance. I think you and your wife don't regard me as your aunt, they only miss your master.

This refers to Zhou Banxia’s mention that her father wanted to take them to visit Grandma Zhou’s grave during the Qingming Festival, but Shopkeeper Hu happened to take the opportunity to criticize her.

Therefore, shopkeeper Hu immediately sent Xiao Liuzi to find Qian Gui, and Zhou Banxia did not stop him.

When this uncle came to Qinghe Village in February, she made an appointment with her father and father-in-law, and she must inform him when she comes to Fucheng.

Putting aside these trivial matters, Zhou Banxia was concerned about why Zhao Laosan had not gone back to worship his ancestors after the Qingming Festival, and why he was not in the capital but stayed in the capital.

"You don't know? Didn't Mr. Zhao tell you about Mr. Zhao's promotion?

Mr. Zhao has just returned from the capital, and the whole family is rushing back to worship their ancestors. "

It's a promotion!

Zhou Banxia and Gu Wenxuan looked at each other and replied, "I was too busy to ask Erbo Zhao. I was just thinking about discussing with you whether I should send you a post and come to visit you."

Shopkeeper Hu hesitated for a moment, "Just send someone to deliver a congratulatory gift.

With Gaofu and Liulang still being the county chief, there is no need to go to this juncture. "

Zhou Banxia understood what she meant.

There are people at the head of the county case who are watching every move, and they can just hug the Gao family's thighs, and there is no need to be questioned at this juncture to please the Zhao family.

"Where's Mrs. Qian's place?"

"It's still the same. Let's wait until Rokuro finishes the government examination."

Shopkeeper Hu understood his master's thoughts very well and gave the idea without thinking. He reached out and moved the paper box on the table closer, "It's a copy of the recent newspaper."

Dibao, also known as Chaobao, is specially used for copying news documents such as documents and (official) political information conveyed by the imperial court.

Separated from official documents, it mainly publishes official documents such as emperor's edicts, ministers' memorials, appointments and removals of officials announced by the court, military intelligence, and criminal laws.

These internal official reports, which convey court information to local officials, are not only easily accessible to ordinary people, but are read and viewed by dignitaries and ordinary scholar-bureaucrats.

Its role is huge and it is an important channel for news sources.

Mrs. Qian used the excuse that scholars need to pay more attention to major events in the DPRK when writing policies, so she often copied some newspapers from the palace and passed them to Zhou Banxia when the borrower picked up the goods.

The last time Qian Gui gave it to Zhou Banxia was when he came to Qinghe Village in February. It was just over a month ago, and there were copied news articles from Di Bao in the paper box.

"There is an official promotion document for Mr. Gao inside."

Shopkeeper Hu took out three pieces of paper and handed them to Gu Wenxuan, gesturing for him to read them himself. After reading them, he handed them to Zhou Banxia.

"It's Mr. Gao. He was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the first month of the first month. The official promotion document of Mr. Zhao will probably come out later. He is the right minister of the Ministry of Industry in the first month of the month."

Incredible.

Mr. Gao was originally an alternate minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but Mr. Zhao was originally a minister of the fifth rank of the Ministry of Industry, and the right minister of the Ministry of Industry was at least a junior minister of the third rank.

The span is not that big!

Zhou Banxia followed Shopkeeper Hu's example and first stretched his head to look outside, then leaned his head quietly.

asked.

"In other words, is it still the official who was promoted by the eldest master to Mr. Zhao?

Auntie, it couldn't be Mrs. Zhao who is looking for Mrs. (Gao) and drags me into the water. I'm scared to death. "

Shopkeeper Hu couldn't help laughing, and patted her, "Nonsense. I heard that he made a great contribution this time, but it seems to have something to do with you."

Zhou Banxia broke into a cold sweat.

"My young lady said you were lucky. No, not long after the Zhao Mansion took away a batch of goods from you, Mr. Zhao was promoted."

sweat.

Zhou Banxia raised his head and said, "Then Master Qian still knows me, I don't rely on Mrs. (Qian)'s blessing to make money. If I'm lucky, Master Qian will be promoted first——"

"How do you know he's not lucky enough for you?"

Shopkeeper Hu approached Zhou Banxia's ear and said, "My lady doesn't want him to move. Do you understand?"

Zhou Banxia blinked innocently.

"Anyway -" Shopkeeper Hu tucked Zhou Banxia's hanging hair behind her ears, "I guess Mrs. Gao will regret letting you out of the house."

Even though the two of them were whispering, Gu Wenxuan was flipping through the newspaper, but he actually heard it.

"No." Zhou Banxia shook her head and smiled. She couldn't guess why Mrs. Gao loved her so much, but she regretted letting her out of the house?

Probably not. Mrs. Gao didn't have the temperament to make some decisions and regret them afterwards, otherwise she wouldn't have been reminded to keep Mr. Zhou as his disciple.

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Wenxuan handed over a copied newspaper note. Zhou Banxia took it and looked at it. He thought it was a coincidence. Judging from the date on it, it was not a coincidence.

The paper not only contains transcribed official documents regarding Mr. Zhou's appointment, dismissal, and awards, but also includes notes on his life story, personality, and family relationships.

"Master Zhou, I don't know if your master ever mentioned this person to you before he was alive, but I saw him a few days ago and he asked about you."

really!

"He didn't seem surprised at all to learn that you returned to the village after your master passed away and got married, but he smiled when he heard that Liu Lang was the county's top criminal.

It can be seen that Mr. Zhou really wants to see you, and he also asked you if you would come to Fucheng this time. I just don’t know why he didn’t interact with your master before.

My young lady's idea is that the two siblings may have had inconveniences in the past, so they had no choice but to make the mistake of your master staying in Gaofu.

But since he now dares to come forward to recognize your eldest sister, Master, and wants to move the tomb, he should not leave any future troubles that will be detrimental to you.

Furthermore, since he has learned that you are your master's only disciple, he cannot move the tomb without knowing you.

You are a junior, Banxia. Even if you blame him in your heart for why he waited until your master left before showing up, you should go see him first.

Don't be sulky. Speak to him clearly in person and listen to what he has to say. Then write a letter to Mrs. Gao and see what Mrs. Gao says.

Although Mr. Zhou is an official, you should be able to see something from this piece of paper, right?

No matter what the considerations are, Mrs. Gao will not fail to give you advice. "
