The story of a noble girl

Chapter 57

"Master Su, do you mean that Master Hu was demoted from the fourth rank to the seventh rank county magistrate due to some incident, and then he was reinstated, and was promoted to the third rank soon after his reinstatement?
"Exactly, Miss Lin."

"Demoted from the fourth rank to the seventh rank, this derogation method is really... laughable."

Master Su smiled: "Who can tell what happened in the courtroom?"

"Then I was reinstated from the seventh rank to the fourth rank, and then promoted to the third rank. I laughed out loud again."

Master Su still smiled: "Yes, who can tell what happened in the court?"

"Master Su, can you change the story, there must be some unknown things in it."

"I don't know about the incident, but I think Mr. Hu himself knows that he will return to Beijing soon after he came to Qingshui County. He is quite strategic, rigorous in his work, and well-planned. It's really amazing."

"Old man?" Lin Xiaoning laughed out loud, "But old man Hu does look like an old man, but he is not old at all."

Master Su said: "Master Hu is an upright official, an old man is a respectful name for him. Of course he is not old. Before I came to Qingshui County to take office, I heard people say that his family would not recognize him after he returned to Beijing. He is so young that people can recognize him." Not out."

"My bosom friend is so vicious. I always said that he is definitely not a small county magistrate, but I didn't know that he was such a big official."

"Master Hu was the number one scholar back then. With the talent of Mr. Hu being the number one scholar, he can be a fifth-rank Beijing official, but Mr. Hu disdains the dirty things in the officialdom. He started from a seventh-rank official. Mr. Hu is a genius when he is an official. The place was governed in three years and the people were peaceful and prosperous. Another place was governed with prosperity and tranquility. With real materials, he went from the seventh rank to the fourth rank in less than ten years. The speed of promotion is astonishing. All the young officials in my life follow Mr. Hu as an example. But after Mr. Hu was suddenly demoted, many officials were very curious, but they didn't know the truth. Now Mr. Hu has not only been reinstated, but also promoted to the third rank."

Lin Xiaoning heard the turn of events, and was excited and happy: "Master Su, is Master Hu okay now in the capital?"

"Miss Lin, I don't know about this. I'm from Qingshui County. People from my hometown talked about these things with me when they came. Because my family has business in the capital, they know a lot about the affairs of the capital. I know It's not Mr. Hu. It is said that Mr. Hu is in Qingshui County, but he knows the political affairs of the capital like the palm of his hand. It's not because someone reported the letter, but he guessed it. Mr. Hu is really amazing. But I heard that he has many good colleagues , all held important positions in the capital to take care of his family members. So when Mr. Hu came to Qingshui County, being the magistrate of Qingshui County stole half a day of leisure, and he was very comfortable."

"My Mr. Hu is really amazing. He was born as a number one scholar! When I became friends with him, I didn't know his details at all. This old man Hu hides really deep. Mr. Su, there is a lesson from him, you can learn from him." Qingshui County can also steal half a day's leisure. Qingshui County is a treasure land of geomantic omen, Master Su stays there for a year or two, and his family will not recognize him if he takes care of it." Lin Xiaoning said with a smile.

"Miss Lin, I'm afraid that Taocun is the most treasured land of geomantic omen. I heard that Mr. Hu's bosom friend Wang Nian gave him a cure for many years of ills, and gave him a panacea, which made him grow back to be so young and romantic. Miss Lin, The panacea is the ginseng wine given to my old man?" Master Su asked with a smile.

Lin Xiaoning smiled without saying a word.

Seeing that winter is coming, Wang Gang went to the capital and never returned, but Mr. Su came to Taocun again.

Master Su came back this time and brought a cart of silk cotton, saying that Mr. Su gave it to the family members of the three Mr. Su to make winter jackets.The silk cotton is light and soft, with woolen underwear inside, which is very warm and relaxed.

Fu Guanyue took ten sets of thin and ten sets of thick woolen underwear, and asked Mr. Su to take them back to his hometown.

Seeing the woolen clothes and trousers, Mrs. Su sighed with emotion: "Miss Lin's method is really clever. It is sold in the market in the south of the Yangtze River. The business is good." Then he wanted to pay the money, but saw Lin Xiaoning's dissatisfaction. With a kind smile on her face, she stopped her hands in embarrassment, and Fu Guanyue smiled to complete the situation: "Master Su, thank your old man for his kindness. We all miss his kindness. This car of silk cotton can save you money." It’s been a warm winter this year.”

Mrs. Su answered with a smile: "Young Madam, I will definitely bring the message. I'm here, and I have something to do with Ms. Lin."

"Business?" Lin Xiaoning looked at Master Su suspiciously.

Master Su took out a letter: "Miss Lin, this is a letter from Master Hu. This letter is a private matter. It was sent by me. There is also an official matter, which was also approved by Master Hu. It is said that you are welcome Ms. Lin will talk about business after reading the letter."

As soon as Fu Guanyue heard this, she immediately asked someone to refill the hot tea, left a maid in the side room to wait for orders, and then left.

Lin Xiaoning was very happy to hear that it was Mr. Hu's letter, and stepped forward to open it, his complexion turned pale while reading it.

Master Hu wrote in the letter: My girl, it is really dangerous to go back to Beijing this time. The horses were startled on the road, the carriage overturned, and one of the two pairs of bottles that Mr. Zheng gave was broken. There are a few darts, if the box is not blocking them, these darts should be on me.The coachman was sent by a friend from the capital city, and he is skilled in kung fu. After encountering this incident, he asked two master escorts to escort us to Beijing safely.

More than a month ago, he was injured by a poisonous dart on the way to court. Fortunately, the ginseng given by the girl was sliced ​​and taken, and the doctor detoxified him. After a few days of rest, he was fine.

Mr. Hu said: I will always remember the love of the girl for saving lives by giving ginseng.Wang Gang has already arrived in the capital, and the matter of the Wei family will be resolved in a short time. If it hadn't been delayed for some time due to the injury of the poisonous arrow, Wang Gang could have gone back to report the news earlier.

He also said: There is one more thing that needs the girl's help. There are some wounded soldiers who have lost their labor force, and those who can return home have been paid resettlement fees and let them go home.There are also some homeless people who want to give the girl to arrange a cheap and easy job to do, about [-] or so.It will be brought back to Qingshui County by the son of the Minister of Rites and Wang Gang, and then handed over to the girl by the magistrate of Su County. The girl must submit it and be prepared, because it is cold, those people are disabled, and the house is very important.

Another: Regarding the resettlement of these 300 people, Master Su has official documents.In the past ten years, the border has been restless, especially in the past two years. The imperial court recruited troops to fight every year, and the people on the border were displaced. This year, the imperial court spent a lot of money to build border defenses and resettle the border people.So don't feel too little, girl, anyway, girl is not short of those few taels of silver.

Hand these people over to Yatou, and Yatou will naturally find a good way out for them and earn money for her. If Yatou can't figure out a way, she has to support them!

He said again: Girl, because of the resettlement of three hundred disabled soldiers, your elder brother Jiadong's official position has been promoted to Master Antong of the sixth rank, and his annual salary has increased by twelve taels. Are you satisfied, girl?

At the end, I mentioned: Old man, I told the girl about a marriage. He is the son of the Minister of Rites. He is seventeen years old.

Then he said: "Young girl will be the second strange woman in my dynasty. It is a great good fortune for my old man Hu to be able to make friends with you, a close friend who has forgotten his age."

The last thing is to say hello to the three old men, Lin Jiadong and Fu Guanyue.

After Lin Xiaoning read the letter, his face turned red, and he cursed: "This stinky old man, he is uneasy and good-hearted, and only finds me such troublesome things to do. At the beginning, I was asked to build a house for one person and one mu of land, but now it costs three taels of silver per person. She also boasted that the girl is not short of these taels of silver, when my elder brother was an official, he only gave a plaque, so stingy, this old man."

Master Su looked at Lin Xiaoning cursing and swearing, and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, he said for a long time: "Miss Lin, you are scolding Master Hu..."

"It's him who is scolding, old man. It's no good to know him, nothing good at all. Now let me arrange these wounded soldiers. They are wounded soldiers. They are not women. Women have no labor force and can be female celebrities, but Wounded soldiers are men. What can a man do if he loses his labor force? The imperial court thinks of this way? Why should I."

Mr. Su asked with concern: "Miss Lin is in a hurry to settle their money. If so, I have it here. Miss Lin must not say that about Mr. Hu. Mr. Hu is an upright official who is dedicated to the people. Let Ms. Lin settle them down." It is because Mr. Hu trusts Miss Lin, and the second is that Taocun is a good place."

Lin Xiaoning looked at Mr. Su: "I'm angry that old man Hu arranged it directly without consulting me. It's still what the court should do, and I leave it to my Lin family to do it. This has nothing to do with money, it's two different things. My family is short of money do you see?
Master Su laughed when he heard "two things": "Of course Miss Lin is not short of this money."

"Master Su, the Su family in Jiangnan is very rich, right?"

"Su's family background is not bad." Mr. Su was a little embarrassed when Lin Xiaoning asked him suddenly.

"Then why doesn't Master Hu let your family settle these wounded soldiers?"

"Miss Lin, how dare I make wild guesses about Master Hu's arrangement?"

"Master Su, give me the green hill behind my old house, I just want the one closest to my old house."

Lord Su smiled and said, "Well, I have to report it to the imperial court. I'm not Lord Hu."

"Then what are you waiting for, Mr. Su, hurry up and report to the imperial court. I want the hill. I don't want the 1000 taels allocated by the imperial court. As long as the hill is, the 1000 taels will be returned. I will keep the more than 300 wounded soldiers." Can be raised well."

"Miss Lin, don't worry, I'll take care of this when I get back to the county seat. There are still two documents to hand over to you."

"Isn't it the placement of three hundred wounded soldiers? I just know it."

"Miss Lin, could you please come over here, here are two documents, one document is about the placement of wounded soldiers, the wounded soldiers will arrive in Qingshui County in a few days, I will come to handle the population transfer with you, Miss Lin , you have to register one by one, and go through the relevant household registration procedures. The other is the official document of your eldest brother, Mr. Lin, who is now the sixth-rank Mr. Antong."

After Master Su finished speaking, a warm smile bloomed on his face.
