Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 543 544 [absolutely impossible]

   "Hong Yushi, I misjudged you before, and I am really ashamed. But you not only did not hate me, but continued to fight against treacherous officials, and almost died under the knife of corrupt officials.

  For the sake of the country and the people, you risk your life, I really should reward you. After Shang Rong and Xiang Nan were finished, Qianlong looked at Hong Derui and Hong Xia's father and daughter and said, "I especially want to thank you for training such a good daughter. . In my opinion, how about staying in the Shengping Department as a teacher? "

   "Your Majesty, my daughter is used to living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on a heavy responsibility." Hong Derui said, "I am not in good health, and I want to retire and return home."

  It is certainly a happy thing for him to bring down Shang Rong this time and successfully rehabilitate him. But his wife died of illness, and the family was almost destroyed, and everything was different from before.

   Moreover, he could also see Qianlong's stupidity and greed.

  Shang Rong was guilty of repairing the garden this time, but Qianlong was the chief culprit. Regardless of the life and death of the people, he insisted on building gardens, which cost more than six million taels. Extravagance and extravagance were really not the work of Mingjun.

   Therefore, he was quite disappointed and lost confidence in officialdom. I am going to retire to the old age, return to the countryside, and end my remaining life.

  Qianlong was taken aback for a moment, but seeing his firm attitude, he had no choice but to nod.

   "Well, since that's the case, I don't force it." He smiled, "Hong Derui is allowed to resign and return to his hometown. He will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and full salary."

   "Long live thanks." Hong Derui kowtowed.

  …

   "Xiaoyue, you were the one who teased me at the inn that day?" Qianlong looked at Du Xiaoyue again and said.

   "Xiaoyue will die." Du Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue and knelt down.

   "Okay, I don't blame you for not remembering the faults of villains." Qianlong smiled, "You have done a great job in saving Hong Yushi's family, and I will reward you extra. I will promise you whatever you want."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty." Du Xiaoyue said happily upon hearing this.

  …

"He Aiqing and Ji Aiqing, this time I went out to do errands. Thanks to the company of the two of you, I have learned a lot and understood a lot in my heart. I should be praised." Qianlong said again, "But you two, one is talented To be wise, regardless of basic necessities of life, you must be smart when you are tempted everywhere.

  One is mediocre and dull everywhere, not only helpless to me, but also caused me to suffer a lot. Are you both convicted? "

   "The minister is guilty!", "The slave is guilty!" Xiang Nan and He Shen pleaded guilty together.

   "Okay, you two will be dismissed on the spot. Quyang County, prepare two prison cars. Tomorrow morning, we will take them back to Beijing and wait for their release." Qianlong said again, "On the way back, you two should reflect carefully."

   "Thank you, Lord Long." Both He Shen and Xiang Nan said with bitter faces.

  …

   Turning around, Qianlong returned to Beijing majestically, escorted by guards of honor.

  Xiang Nan and He Shen wore prison uniforms, put them in a prison car, and rushed to the capital.

   "Old Ji, I didn't blame you. If you hadn't played those clever tricks, would we have been put in this prison car?" He Shen complained.

"Okay, shut up! Shang Rong didn't confess you, it's all yours. You don't think I don't know. Shang Rong was greedy for money to repair the garden, but you also shared a lot." Xiang Nan glared at him and said, "You are in the prison car, you deserve what you deserve. I saved Hong Yushi's family, and let the emperor see all kinds of things in the world. I have contributed to the community.

   Now that I'm with you in the prison van, I still feel wronged. You still have the face to complain to me, bah! Shameless! "

   "Old Ji, you..." He Shen was stunned by Xiang Nan, and he was immediately speechless.

   Just as the prison van was about to set off, Du Xiaoyue led Hong Xia, Hong Derui and their daughter over.

   "Sir~" Du Xiaoyue shouted crisply.

   "Xiaoyue~" Xiang Nan said happily when he saw her, "Ms. Hong, Hong Yushi~"

   "Mr. Ji, our father and daughter have really troubled you this time." Hong Derui cupped his hands to Xiang Nan.

  Hong Xia's eyes were also wet, and she blamed herself quite a bit.

"Hey, don't say that. It's just going back to Beijing in a prison car, so it's not a burden at all." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "The emperor just wants to punish me with a small punishment, and he won't behead me. Don't worry. "

   "Sir, you can still laugh." Du Xiaoyue pouted.

   "It's okay. Mister made a fortune for himself yesterday, and it's really okay." Xiang Nan laughed.

   "Mr. Ji's demeanor makes Hong appreciate it." Hong Derui cupped his hands and said, "I'm relieved to leave the little girl Xia'er to you."

   "Ah?!" Xiang Nan was taken aback, "Hong Yushi, what do you mean by that?"

   He Shen couldn't help pricking up his ears when he heard it.

   "Sir, Miss Hong Xia promised you that she would be by your side after the matter is completed." Du Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Why, she is going to fulfill her promise now, don't you think so?"

  Xiang Nan glanced at Hong Xia. Seeing that although she was full of shyness, she still looked at Xiang Nan bravely, without dodging or hesitating, so she knew that she had made up her mind.

   "Hong Yushi, Miss Hong, this is absolutely unacceptable." Xiang Nan waved his hands again and again, "To be honest, I have long intended to marry Miss Xiaoyue."

  When Du Xiaoyue heard it, she was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, her face was flushed, she was ashamed and happy, and she was about to faint with joy.

   "Mr. Ji is indeed a believer. In fact, even if you don't tell me, I can tell." Hong Derui nodded and said.

  Xiang Nan was able to hand over the imperial fan to Du Xiaoyue, what kind of trust and love. If Xiang Nan didn't care about Du Xiaoyue so much, he wouldn't risk his beheading at all.

  But he can completely keep Miss Hong Xia by his side without saying anything.

  Hong Xia is beautiful and intelligent, with both wealth and sex. Even the emperor is attracted to her, which shows her charm.

  But Xiang Nan still confessed, which shows that he is really a good man with love and righteousness.

   "So, I would rather let Xia'er follow you." Hong Derui said again.

   "Hong Yushi, you..." Xiang Nan didn't understand.

   It is reasonable to say that a literati like Hong Derui is not afraid of corrupt officials, should pay more attention to reputation and integrity, and never allow his daughter to commit himself to being a concubine.

   "Mr. Ji, you are not only the most talented person in the world, you are full of geniuses, but you also have a heart for the country and the people. You are a rare good man in the world. My Xia'er is worth following you.

  It is better to be the queen of the cow than the head of the chicken. Even being a concubine for you is better than being a regular wife for those mediocre, useless men. Moreover, I believe that Mr. Ji's family style will not treat my daughter badly. ”Hundry explained

   "Besides, Xia'er was demoted as an official prostitute after all. Although she kept her virginity, in the eyes of outsiders, her reputation is not good after all. There is no good choice for her to marry in the future."

  Xiang Nan nodded in understanding after hearing what he said.

   Indeed, the requirements for women, especially our women, are still very strict these days.

  Like the Jia Mansion in "Dream of Red Mansions", the ladies are always out of the door, and they are not even allowed to see relatives and servants, let alone other men.

   After all, Hong Xia stayed in Chunmanlou, which is considered out of morality by Taoists. So if Hong Xia wants to marry, I'm afraid it's not easy to marry.

   "Since Hong Yushi believes in Ji so much, then Ji is willing to take good care of Miss Hong." Xiang Nan nodded immediately.

  When Hong Xia heard this, her face couldn't help but blushed.

  Seeing this, He Shen couldn't help swallowing enviously.
