Prince Han Sien

Xing Junran has the most fatal weakness, which is his mother.

Although Xing Junran was not born in a wealthy family, when he was young, his family was considered well-off, so compared to his fellow countrymen, he was sent to school by Xing's father and Xing's mother.

Xing Junran is quite talented in front of reading, but when he was a child, he didn't pay much attention to reading, and he didn't have too deep responsibility.

Later, when he was nine years old, his father was ill and spent the silver taels in the family one after another within a year.After he was hungry and had no money to study, he realized that reading is very important.

Xing Junran's mother was a strong woman. After her husband passed away, she took care of Xing Junran's life by herself.Before Xing's father died, she seldom did anything at home, and she was more beautiful than others.

Although this beauty is not the first in the village, there are so many people who are willing to marry her.

When Mrs. Xing was young, she was also a strong one. For the sake of her son's future and to avoid going wrong, she cut her own cheek with scissors. Since then, no one has thought of her again.

She and Xing Junran depended on each other for life.

All the old lady Xing's hopes in this life rested on Xing Junran. After Xing's father died, she suffered a lot.

She is also a knowledgeable woman, knowing that reading can change people's fate, so she asked Xing Junran to continue studying.Xing Junran was naturally unwilling, and every year Shuxiu needed a tael of silver.But Mrs. Xing was unwilling and forced her to die, so Xing Junran went to the school again.

In order to earn money, Mrs. Xing does a lot of hard work alone.She has washed clothes for people all the year round, has done heavy work in the fields, and picked up vegetable leaves thrown away by others when she was really hungry.

I quarreled with my neighbors over a morsel of food.

Fortunately, Xing Junran is very talented, and the sudden accident at home made him become more silent and work hard.

The master who taught him at the beginning was an old scholar. Seeing that he worked so hard and had a bright future, Mrs. Xing suggested that her daughter and Xing Junran get married, and the old master justifiably supported Xing Junran to study.

At that time, Mrs. Xing agreed, and in her opinion, this was the best choice for Xing Junran.

It's just that reading and taking the exam is not an easy task. The master's family has been studying for Xing Junran for more than ten years.Fortunately, although Xing Junran experienced failures and frustrations in the middle, the final outcome is good.

Xing Junran took the exam twice and was finally hand-picked as a Jinshi. Later, because there was no one in the court, he was assigned to be a county magistrate in a desolate and poor southwest county.

At that time, Xing Junran was in high spirits, full of passion and ambition, and he didn't care much about the small southwest county.He knew the hardships he had suffered since he was a child, so he wanted to change the fate of more poor people.

He squatted in that small southwest county for nine years. During these nine years, his family was still impoverished. Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Xing both wore patched clothes.

Xing Junran's salary is not much, coupled with the remoteness of the place, the payment is not very timely, and occasionally it is deducted by others, half of which is considered too much.The old lady is holding these money, carefully calculating the family's food.

Due to insufficient nutrition and overwork, Mrs. Xing's first child was naturally lost, and it took several years to conceive the second child, which was Xing Yunqi.

When Xing Yunqi was four years old, even eating meat at home was a luxury.

However, the poor Xiaoxian County was governed by Xing Junran in a different way.

Later, the county magistrate of Ming'an was executed for corruption and bribery, and countless people wanted to go to Ming'an.The emperor chose for a long time, and he chose Xing Junran.Knowing Xing Junran's family background, the emperor transferred him to Anming in the south of the Yangtze River to serve as the county magistrate.

Jiangnan has been a good place since ancient times, a land of salt production, beautiful scenery and rich people.

Before going to Ming'an, Xing Junran knew that Ming'an was a wealthy county, so he reluctantly bought a boy to drive the carriage so that it would not be too shabby.

It was only after arriving in Ming'an County that Xing Junran knew what heaven was.The passers-by on the street are well-dressed, unlike his wife and mother's clothes with patches.When he arrived at the county government office on the first day, the people in the county government office couldn't believe that he was the county magistrate of Ming An, and they almost dismissed him as a beggar.

On the first day when Xing Junran's mother and wife came to Ming'an, they saw Xing Yunqi running to the bottom of a restaurant to inhale the scent. Mrs. Xing hugged her grandson and cried out in distress.

@@

Regardless of whether Xing Junran is shabby or not, he is the county magistrate of Ming'an after all.He is not willing to accept bribes, he feels that he has his own character and arrogance, even if he is poor, he will not do such things.

So the merchants sent the silver to his home.

When Mrs. Xing saw the 500 taels of silver for the first time, she was dazzled.She held the silver in her hands tremblingly, and she was still very scared at the time.After the person who gave the money left, she immediately bought a piece of meat for a silver, and let Xing Yunqi have a good meal.

She kept crying while eating.That was the most meat she had seen after marrying Xing Junran for so many years.

Xing Yunqi was exhausted at the time, and was still unwilling to let go.Since then, Mrs. Xing has secretly made up her mind that she must not live the past life again.

When Xing Junran found out that his wife was taking bribes from others, it was already three months later.He asked his wife to send her home.

Mrs. Xing became tough for the first time, unwilling.

His mother looked at Xing Yunqi, who had finally swollen a little, and thought that the life at home these days and in the Southwest were like heaven and earth, so she turned a blind eye.

Furthermore, she felt that what the gift-giving businessmen said was reasonable, Xing Junran was the biggest official in Ming'an, who would dare to do anything to them.

In this way, the life of their family got better.His mother and wife knew that he didn't want to see the silver, so they specially bought it in a separate courtyard.

Among the money collected, some were injured and did not want to go to jail, and some were jealous of others.In short, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Xing took care of these small matters by themselves, separated by Xing Junran.

They were afraid at first, but no one found out for a month or two, a year or two, so they were relieved.

@@

Xing Junran had never touched the money, and his family lived in the backyard of the county government all the time, living in a very desolate place.

Xing Junran's daily life is very poor. He will use his salary to help those suffering people, and he will cry for it.

Even in the eyes of some people, he is considered a rare good official.

The same good officer as he was before.

But such a good official also likes a luxurious life, and also likes An Ming's unique gentle and fragrant women.And these things all need money to support them.

It's just that his life was quickly disrupted. The embankment of the Urawa embankment was built in a rough way over the years, and the embankment burst after a light rain.

When Xing Junran saw the flood, the first impression in his mind was that he was going to die.Then someone gave him a letter, asking him to use the help of his friend on the same list to push everything to Zhou Ma'an, Governor of Liangjiang.

Xing Junran did it, these years he didn't even know who was holding him accountable, but he still did it in order to live.

@@@@

Mrs. Xing told all the money she received from other people. Mrs. Xing told a few things she didn't know. Once, a family robbed a civilian girl and killed her husband. Mrs. Xing took 1 taels, and then Take Xing Junran's post and let him go.

There were also several times like this, where Mrs. Xing received more than 20 taels of money behind Mrs. Xing's back.After hearing this, Mrs. Xing cursed Mrs. Xing in the lobby.

Xing Junran has been watching this farce blankly, while Xing Yunqi, who was raised and knows nothing, knows nothing.

Seeing Xing Junran's appearance, Han Si'en said with a sneer, "Since you know that your mother and wife have collected the taels, don't you think it's funny to show such an ignorant look now? Let them all stay and be locked up."

@@

Ji Luo led people to search out a large sum of money from the Xing Family's other courtyard, which amounted to 10 taels.

Gao Feng's eyes were straightened, while Ji Luo kept looking at Han Sien thoughtfully.

Seeing Ji Luo's eyes, Bai Shu tilted his head, looked at Han Si'en and asked, "How do you know that he is corrupt? Aren't you afraid that he won't recruit?"

"His skin is too delicate, it doesn't look like it belongs to someone who doesn't have enough to eat, and he doesn't pretend to be like it." Han Sien knew the doubts in Ji Luo and others' hearts, so he naturally wouldn't reveal that he could listen to people's hearts secret.

So when Bai Shu asked, he made up a reason.

And Bai Shu also saw the surprise in Ji Luo's heart, so he asked.

"My lord, what if he's really not greedy?" Gao Feng pursed his lips and asked in a low voice.Han Si'en glanced at him, and said indifferently: "Then I'm just defying the emperor's imperial decree. When I return to Beijing, I will use my own head to make amends for him."

Gao Feng swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to ask any more questions. He thought Han Si'en was upset.Ji Luo felt at peace. In her previous life, Han Si'en was a person who didn't care about his life, and died early.

Life doesn't matter in this life, it's not an exaggeration to do such an outrageous thing casually.

But Ji Luo felt that since she had lived so vigorously all her life, it would be a pity if she committed suicide in a few months.

So he began to comfort him, saying: "This matter is too dangerous. Although you are an imperial envoy, you should not be so impulsive in the future. Father is a king, and you are a minister. His patience is limited."

Han Si'en responded indifferently, then looked at Gao Feng and said, "The relief money we brought can't be unsealed until the Governor's Mansion. Now it's just a good time to use the money to buy some coarse grains first, so that those people can see it first." Have some hope. It doesn’t matter if the price of buying food is a little higher than before. But if someone maliciously hoards food or raises the price maliciously, they should be arrested directly. After the people of Ming’an see hope, let the imperial guards do it. Supervisor, let those young and middle-aged people start to build the river embankment, and if you ask about the wages, we will double the previous wages and give them all the daily settlement. With this one million taels of silver, it should be no problem to build a solid river embankment, right?"

Gao Feng thought about it seriously and said, "It should be fine."

Ji Luo smiled aside and said: "This is very good. No one in Ming'an County is responsible for Xing Junran being arrested. Those who lost their homes have been idle for a long time, and they are afraid that troubles will arise. Now they are repairing the embankment by themselves, and there is no one to take responsibility." With wages, there is always something to look forward to when you see the hope of the future. However, this is the case in Ming'an County, and the situation in other places may be more complicated."

Han Si'en didn't say a word, Ji Luo looked at his calm appearance, and always felt that his eccentric cousin would not show mercy on the way to Liuzhou.
