Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 328

When Prince Funing returned to the mansion, he felt sullen in his chest. He couldn't help it. After talking about the good news of inspecting the river workers, he couldn't help complaining: "He Jiang Hong is a despicable villain! The officials transferred him back Forget it in the capital, and let him enter the Ministry of Rites. Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is so old that he can't manage the affairs of the ministry. What does it mean to let him be the left servant of the Ministry of Rites? Isn't this just letting him take charge of the Ministry of Rites?! He is like this This despicable villain is also worthy of being in charge of the Ministry of Rites? I won’t mention this, anyway, the world belongs to the government, and whoever he uses, we don’t care, and we don’t care! But how can he let Jiang Hong teach Rui? What about brother? Our brother Rui has outstanding character and talent, if such a good child falls into the hands of a villain like Jiang Hong, wouldn't that destroy the child forever?!" Prince Funing said while patting Lying on the kang table, Li Tian stared at him speechlessly, and said slowly: "If you don't think it's suitable, then bring Brother Rui back, you are also knowledgeable, wouldn't it be good to teach Brother Rui yourself? It’s hard for officials to say anything to teach their own son.”

"Ugh!" Prince Funing choked, and said 'hum' several times before he said even more angrily: "Didn't you say that a child must have companions and friends, and he can't be left alone all the time? I'll teach him, no I became the only one? Besides, Brother Rui is so smart, I have good knowledge, but this... a loving father is a loving father, and he has become a strict teacher with a straight face. How sad is Brother Rui? Forget it Well, let’s teach. Anyway, Brother Rui doesn’t use the imperial examination, and we don’t need to be proud of our knowledge in the future. We can teach him what he wants. Brother Rui is not easy to bully. If he wants to teach Brother Rui, he Jiang Hong You have to have that ability!" Li Tian looked at him even more speechlessly, took a deep breath and asked suddenly: "You suddenly remembered to take the job of patrolling the river, it's not because Jiang Yan returned to Beijing, you don't want to see him, do you? "

"Of course I don't want to see him! I feel disgusted when I hear his name! But I am a dignified prince, a brother of the official family! How can I avoid him? What is he! I just want to take you out for a walk, oh, forget it Forget it, let's not mention him. When I come back from this trip, the government has to put the household department into my hands again. You don't know how annoying the household affairs are. Just two taxes a year can annoy one of the first two. Great! Let’s have a good time when we go out this time! Let’s talk about it after we’ve finished playing. After returning to the Ministry of Accounts, I have to find a way to hand over the work from the Ministry of Works. Alas! Don't worry, I'm free anyway, now, big brother is using me as a bully, I'm so miserable!" The fifth prince's complaints slipped all the way from Jiang Hong being a villain to his big brother treating him as a bully, Li Tian listened to him In the end, he complained all the way to his hard work, pursed his lips and smiled and handed him a cup of tea to persuade him: "Just pick it up, and it will be after our river patrolmen come back. At this moment, let's think about how this trip can save money." The errands are easy and worry-free, so we can go around and have fun, don’t you often say, live in the present, and don’t let future troubles delay today’s enjoyment.”

"This is very true, it is great wisdom! You must first get someone to drive a large and comfortable car. You must bring all your things and people. You must bring all the cooks in the small kitchen. By the way, I After thinking about it, it is best for us to take a boat all the way, firstly, we can bring more people and things, secondly..."

"Well, I also think it's better to take a boat." Li Tian interrupted Prince Funing, and Prince Funing was very excited: "Even if you take a boat, you have to bring a cart. If you think it's good, you can park the boat. Let's go to play by car again, at most, bring a few more boats, there are no official boats, let's adjust our own boat..." Li Tian sipped his tea, listening to him gesticulating his arrangement with great interest, nodding his head from time to time to add a few words Well, she and he have always had surprisingly consistent tastes in eating, drinking and having fun.

Prince Funing's trip was a huge one, and there was a lot of preparatory work before the river patrolmen checked the accounts. In addition, the tax account books of the household department had to be sorted out first. The preparations before departure were cumbersome and slow. His preparations Jiang Hong returned to the capital before the stroke in the horoscope was finished.

Princess Jiangjun has been eagerly looking forward to his return since she knew that Jiang Hong was going to be transferred back to the capital. On the day he came back, she dispatched her steward to greet him for dozens of miles, and asked all the way whether he had entered the city, entered the forbidden area, and left. After being banned, as soon as Jiang Hong left the palace gate, Princess Jiang hurried to Jiang's mansion by car, and together with Jiang Hong's mother, Mrs. Cui, stretched her neck and waited for Jiang Hong to come back.

Both of them were full of worries and fidgeting. Mrs. Cui went back to her ancestral house for two or three years because she was muddle-headed about protecting Lin Ke's matchmaker. As soon as she returned to the capital, Ah Shan had followed Xu Sihai to take up the post, and then she was directly transferred from her predecessor to Zhejiang Road. When the governor took office, Brother Hong was traveling all the way. She only had one son and one daughter, and now she just felt that the house was empty and her knees were desolate. This time, Brother Hong was finally transferred back to Beijing. His marriage should be taken care of See if it's settled, if it goes well, maybe she can get married before the year before, and next year, maybe she will be able to hold a grandson...

Concubine Jiangjun had another change of heart. She gave birth to two sons and two daughters, two daughters... Needless to say, A Ke, life is going well. It’s better than before. I haven’t seen the old again in the past five or six years. It’s just the two sons. Princess Jiang feels sad. , has been idle at home, do you want to spend the rest of your life like his father?There is also the second brother, who has endured so many years in the poor mountains and rivers of Longxi, and today no matter what, he has to beg Brother Hong to transfer the second brother back to the capital. Transferred to a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River...

The little girl ran all the way in, and the two of them stood up together and rushed out to meet the little girl before she came close.

After leaving the upper door, I saw Jiang Hong striding like flying and turning into the vertical flower door. Mrs. Cui looked at her son, and her steps suddenly staggered. The girl next to her hurriedly stepped forward to support her. , Tears fell like rain, but his throat was choked and he couldn't speak.

Princess Jiang looked at Jiang Hong in a daze. She hadn't seen him for six or seven years. Now Jiang Hong was wearing a purple shirt, his short beard, which was an inch long, was neatly trimmed, and his straight eyebrows were still bright. But the light is all introverted, it looks like a warm and simple ancient jade, although you can't tell what makes him different, but you can't help but look up at him.

Mrs. Cui held her son, crying and laughing, and it took a long time before she let go of Jiang Hong and let him sit down. Princess Jiang patiently listened to Mrs. Cui asking countless miscellaneous questions about the body, eating, dressing and all kinds of trivial and useless details. It took a long time , finally found a place to talk, and asked Jiang Hongdao with a smile: "I heard that you are coming back to the Ministry of Rites to lead Zuo Shilang's errand?"

"Yes." Jiang Hong replied calmly, and Princess Jiang smiled happily: "I heard that Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is old and sick, and the days in a month when he can go to the ministry to supervise affairs can be counted on one hand. Doesn’t it all have to be taken care of by you, Zuo Shilang? This Zuo Shilang is doing the work of a minister! Brother Hong is so capable, and after a year or so, the appointment of the minister will be promoted smoothly. Who doesn’t know that the minister of the Ministry of Rites is Prime Minister? Seeing that you will be able to join the cabinet, I have never heard of someone who joined the cabinet in his thirties! This is really..."

"Aunt, be careful!" Jiang Hongsu interrupted Princess Jiang's joy: "Won't people laugh at my Jiang family's frivolity and arrogance when these words are spread?" Jiang Hong stared at Princess Jiang warningly. With a flash of sternness, Princess Jiang swallowed the words in one gulp, she shivered cleverly, and dared not make a sound.

"Your aunt is a cautious person. We can only talk about this among ourselves, so we can't say it outside." Mrs. Cui hurriedly smoothed things over when she saw that Princess Jiangjun's face was pale. Jiang Hongchong nodded with a gentle smile. Seeing him smiling gently again, the concubine felt relaxed, and was a little annoyed for a while, this is her own nephew, what is she afraid of him doing?It's true, after what happened to Dongyang County Prince's Mansion, I am getting less and less courageous!Should I talk about the matter of the boss and the second child's errands now or not?He just came home today, and he said today, isn't it a bit inappropriate?Concubine Jiangjun retreated to find a way for herself. Before she hesitated to make up her mind, Jiang Hong looked at her and mentioned the matter of her second child, Lin Yangwen: "...Last month, Longxi Road transfer envoy Zhang Please write me a letter," Lin Yangwen was working as an errand at Longxi Road, Jiangjun Princess subconsciously straightened her body, looked at Jiang Hong nervously, and waited for him to continue.

"It is said that the second brother Lin was sent to collect the silk taxes from the counties on Longxi Road. This mission is just to find out the quantity and grade of the silk sent by the counties and store them in the warehouse. After collecting them, they will order them and hand them over to the water transport. It's a very simple mission. Who knows that when the water transport was handed over, firstly, [-] pieces of high-quality fine silk were missing, and secondly, the various grades were in confusion, so the quantity could not be matched. The mission was cumbersome, and I sent a servant to watch it. I only went there twice in total, and I stood there for only half an hour each time. Zhang Zhuanyun was very angry, and he had already arrested the second brother, saying that he would be punished according to the law."

Princess Jiang was so distraught at hearing this, she was speechless, she was speechless, Jiang Hong's eyes flashed with indifference, and she continued: "I have very little friendship with Envoy Zhang Zhuanyun. The girl from the Xu family in Le Ning has always been close to Mrs. Wen Guogong, but Wen Guogong didn't care about it, so he asked someone to send a letter to make up for the lack of silk and horses. This matter was brought up in gourd, but the second brother was here on Longxi Road. It is impossible to keep it, Wen Guogong sent someone to ask me how to arrange my second brother, what does my aunt mean?"

Princess Jiangjun couldn't speak, she looked at Jiang Hong with pleading eyes: "Brother Hong, please give your second brother an idea..."

"Well, what I mean is that the second elder brother likes to study and is not good at general affairs. It doesn't matter if he doesn't receive this job. The Nanning County Prince's Mansion is not short of these few taels of salary. It's better to let the second elder brother come back to study and recite poems so that the aunt will not have to worry about it all the time." He is worried." Jiang Hong's words were indifferent, Princess Jiang's heart was like a knife, she understood what she said, once the second child comes back, there will be no future in the future.

"It's better for my aunt to make up her mind on this matter. The second brother may be successful after more experience, but if he wants to find another job, he has to go to Nanyi..."

"It's better to come back... come back and study." Princess Jiang hurriedly responded, the poisonous insects in Nanyi were rampant, and the miasma filled the air. If the second child went to Nanyi, I'm afraid he would never come back!Hearing her answer, Jiang Hong turned around and talked to his mother about the family affairs. Princess Jiang sat down in a state of confusion for a while, then got up to leave. Jiang Hong got up and sent her out with a smile, but there was no warmth in his smile. As I said, he will never be able to stand out in Nanning County Prince's Mansion in one day!
