Concubine

Chapter 172
After returning to Ningguo Mansion, Yang Qiuchi was ready to leave after several days of lively visits to relatives and friends.

That night, Song Tongzhi brought Song Yuner to Yang's Mansion for a visit. He was accompanied by two middle-aged men, one tall and thin, and the other short and fat with a smile on his face. Shi Ye and Master Qian Gu, Master Long.

After the guest and host sat down, Song Tongzhi said: "Nephew, you, you will go to Huguang to take up your post the next day, and Yun'er will go with you. She is still young, has a bad temper, and I will trouble you to bear it."

Yang Qiuchi cupped his hands and said: "Uncle, why did you say that? Although Yun'er is young, she is a big kid and smart. I expect her to take care of me a lot."

Song Yun'er giggled, and then straightened her face: "Hey~! Brother, are you praising me or scolding me?"

Everyone laughed.

Song Tongzhi asked again: "My nephew is going here, home, is the home settled properly?"

Years ago they had agreed that Mother Yang would stay at home in Ningguo Mansion to take care of the business, and Feng Xiaoxue followed Yang Qiuchi to the post.After thinking about it carefully after returning, Feng Xiaoxue and Yang Qiuchi were still worried that Mother Yang would be here alone with no one to take care of her.

But this time, Huguang Town and Yuanzhou are thousands of mountains and rivers, and Huguang Town and Yuanzhou were still a barbarian land in the Ming Dynasty, so it is really not suitable for living at home.What's more, in Ningguo Mansion and even the capital city, there are many business transactions of the Yang family to take care of (take over from Hao Yuan's family). If they entrust others to take care of so many businesses, Yang's mother will not be at ease no matter what.Therefore, Mother Yang has decided not to go to Huguang with her son.

Although Yang's mother was also reluctant to part with them, in order to let her son go to the post with peace of mind, she kept her thoughts in her heart, and said with a smile that she could do it here alone, and besides, Song Tongzhi and Zhou Zhifu would take care of them.

Now that Song Tongzhi mentioned this matter, Yang's mother was also there. Yang Qiuchi looked at Feng Xiaoxue and said, "I discussed with Xiaoxue, and I still want Xiaoxue to stay and take care of mother. Besides, with so much business, mother is alone. For those who are too busy, it will be better if Xiaoxue helps her."

"That's good!" Song Tongzhi praised: "God, I was a little hesitant when we discussed last time. There is no other way to have a good intention, but it is still not appropriate, the handling of the nephew is very appropriate, but, it is just a pain for you."

Yang's mother said to Yang Qiuchi: "This is not good. Xiaoxue will go with you. I don't worry about you going to work in that remote place alone without someone close to you to take care of you."

Song Yun'er interjected: "Why not? There is me! Am I not a selfish person?"

Song Tongzhi shouted: "Don't interrupt, Yun'er, you, your aunt said that you are close to yourself, that is, you are the one who makes the bed, folds the quilt, waits for the bed and changes clothes, you, what can you do?"

Song Yun'er blushed when she heard this, and said in a concealed manner, "I won't do it, I need someone else to help me make the bed and fold the quilt."

Of course, Mother Yang hoped that Song Yun'er could become her son's sleeping and dressing person, and she wanted to say this, but she was a peasant woman in a mountain village after all, and Song Tong knew that she was a fifth-rank official of the imperial court. The turn in the mother's head has not yet been turned, she is somewhat afraid of officials, she opened her mouth, but did not say anything.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Mom, you can rest assured that I can take care of myself. Since my uncle thinks so, let's make it so. Xiaoxue will stay by your side and take care of you, otherwise I will be worried."

After hearing Yang Qiuchi's words, Yang's mother hesitated, not knowing what to do.

On the one hand, Feng Xiaoxue is worried about her husband, and of course she is also worried about Yang's mother. She is also in a dilemma. Now that her husband has said so, she also persuades Yang's mother: "Mother, since your husband is filial, you should help him. As for taking care of your husband..." She whispered a few words in Mother Yang's ear, and Mother Yang nodded happily.

Mother Yang said: "In that case, then Xiaoxue can stay by my side."

Song Tongzhi twirled his goatee and nodded in satisfaction, then said to Yang Qiuchi: "Nephew, you, you are going to take up the post here, have the master and the chief follower been found?"

Being an official in ancient times, especially in the Ming Dynasty, the number of officials was limited, and government affairs were busy. There were no aides and masters and various long-term attendants. It is unimaginable to complete these daily tasks. statement.

Yang Qiuchi has been in the Ming Dynasty for so long, of course he knows this, and shook his head: "I'm going to talk about it after I get to Huguang."

Song Tongzhi shook his head: "This, it won't work like this. What good staff can Hu, Huguang have? Besides, this, this staff is your right-hand man. Of course, you must know both the business and the basics. Only those who know the basics can rest assured, and The long-term follower is related to your body, the safety of your property, and it is even more important to be close to yourself, so you can't be sloppy at all."

When Yang's mother heard it, there were so many things to pay attention to. Song Tongzhi had been an official for many years and was well versed in it. Woolen cloth?"

"That's exactly what I mean," Song Tongzhi said, pointing to Master Jin and Master Long behind him, "Both of them were born in Shaoxing, and they were both scholars. Government affairs, loyal, shrewd and capable, very effective, let me introduce my nephew as a staff member."

Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed, he was very familiar with these two masters, but since this was Song Tongzhi's confidant, it might not be good for him to plunder others' beauty.

Yang Qiuchi was about to speak, Song Tongzhi had already guessed Yang Qiuchi's thoughts, and said: "I am now promoted to the post of Tongzhi of Ningguo Mansion, not Zhengyin, so I have much less time to use staff. Besides, if there is a need in the future, I will find someone else. My nephew is young and promising, and the future is boundless, and the two of them follow you, which is also their good luck."

Master Jin and Master Long came out, bowed to Yang Qiuchi, and Master Jin said: "If the two of you are hired by Master Yang, you will definitely do your best to assist him."

"Okay!" Yang Qiuchi patted the back of the chair, and said happily to Song Tongzhi, "If that's the case, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient. Thank you uncle!"

He knew that the master had to issue a letter of appointment, so he immediately ordered his servant to bring the letter of engagement.He didn't know how to write this stuff, so Song Tongzhi wrote two closing letters, stamped Yang Qiuchi's private seal, and Yang Qiuchi handed them over to Master Jin and Master Long.

After the formalities are completed, the two of them are now Yang Qiuchi's staff.Yang Qiuchi ordered his servant to arrange accommodation for the two of them in Yang's mansion.

Song Tongzhi told Yang Qiuchi some things that need to be paid attention to in the officialdom, especially he told him to wear more ears and less mouth, and not to push himself forward when things happen, Yang Qiuchi kept it in mind.After chatting for a while, Song Tongzhi and Song Yuner said goodbye and went back.

In the next few days, Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue began to prepare travel expenses for Yang Qiuchi.

The Yang family is no better than before, they have plenty of money now.The two of them were afraid that Yang Qiuchi would go to that remote place, so they didn't need anything, they bought as much as they could think of, and filled several large carts.

The night before departure to the capital, Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue would carefully advise Yang Qiuchi on some precautions, such as adding more clothes, drinking less alcohol, paying attention to health, and paying attention to safety.

Yang Qiuchi's head got dizzy when he heard it, and he said with a wry smile: "Mother, Xiaoxue, I'm already in my twenties, and I can take care of myself." At this point, he deliberately teased them, "If you are really worried, find someone Nanny watched me get it."

Feng Xiaoxue nodded: "What my husband said is that I discussed this matter with my mother that night. Maid Yuechan has served you very well these days, so let her go with you and serve you with you."

"Ah?" Yang Qiuchi smiled wryly, "You really want a babysitter to take care of me?" Then he remembered that the night Song Tongzhi came, after Yang's mother and Feng Xiaoxue whispered, Yang's mother agreed to Xiaoxue to stay. That's what they were muttering about.

"Yes," Yang's mother said with a smile on Mimi, "Xiaoxue and mother discussed this. The little girl Yuechan is very sensible, she knows the cold and the hot, and it suits our hearts. She is serving you very well these days." , with her taking care of you by your side, we can rest assured."

Feng Xiaoxue said: "Yes, Miss Yun'er is very skilled in martial arts. With her and a group of guards protecting my husband, we don't have to worry about it. It's just that Miss Yun'er is bold by nature, and she is a daughter of an official family. We don't dare to expect her to serve you, husband, if others serve her. So, it's better to bring a little maid."

Yang's mother went on to say: "Yuechan is smart, diligent, considerate, and considerate. She is also very beautiful. Being a concubine is still very good. We discussed it before, and Yuechan will grow up in a few days." Yes, I will let you accept her to fill in the house. So, she follows you, and when you think it is suitable for you, you can accept her, and you don't need to ask our opinion."

The two of them sang together, and Yang Qiuchi couldn't even put his mouth in it.After finally being free, just as she was about to speak, Mother Yang said again: "By the way, when it comes to taking concubines, Xiaoxue and I have also discussed it. You will go to the post for a three-year term. During these three years, If you meet a suitable girl, you can be the master and take concubines yourself. No one in a big family has three wives and four concubines. You can decide this kind of thing yourself. It is best to bring I will be happy when a son and a half daughter come back."
