New Dream of Red Mansions

Daiyu was surprised: "You want to let it out?"

Su Zihan nodded, "Instead of earning qualifications in the Imperial Academy, it's better to go out and do some practical things."

Daiyu laughed and said, "I'll go with you."

Su Zihan breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Daiyu would be reluctant to leave the capital. After all, if he were to be released, with his current qualifications, he would go to the most county towns and prefectures, which are not as prosperous as the capital.

Su Zihan went to discuss with his elder brother.

Su Ziwen was coming back from a bird walk outside, when he saw his younger brother, he waved happily and said, "You came back early today, come, come and drink with me."

Yan frowned slightly, thinking that the two brothers really hadn't talked earnestly after their reunion, so she decided to make an exception for the time being, and went down to ask someone to prepare the food and drink. When she came back, she heard that Su Zihan wanted to let it out.

Before she had time to say anything, Su Ziwen patted the table and said, "Okay! I always say that our family doesn't lack power or money, so why come here and put your head on your belt? Find a vacancy in Gusu, it’s at our house, you can do whatever you want, after I leave with your sister-in-law, everything about me will be yours.”

Su Zihan couldn't laugh or cry.

Yan's face immediately turned cold, "I'm not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue. It's true that your family is not short of money. When will you not be short of power? Is Uncle Su still a high-ranking official in the court?"

Su Ziwen rolled his eyes and said: "A strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, who dares to bully our Su family in the Gusu land?"

Yan said bitterly: "Do you think everyone is like you? Our Zihan is a person with great ambitions! Zihan, don't listen to your elder brother, you are Tanhua Lang, and now you are in the Imperial Academy. Go on for a few more years and enter the Six Divisions, and you will be appointed as a Marquis and Prime Minister in the future."

"What's the point of being a Marquis and worshiping a Prime Minister? It's not the same. Even if he becomes a prince, I don't feel at ease. He can't stop from the moment he opens his eyes all day long. As good as I am, I was a little tired when I was young." , look now, if I want to bring you to the capital, I will come to the capital, and another day we will go to Jiangnan to have fun."

Yan's skin is thin, seeing Su Ziwen's nonsense and blushing, she glared at him angrily and motioned him to shut up.Just about to continue persuading, Su Zihan said sternly: "Brother, sister-in-law, I know you are thinking about me, but I have some thoughts on my own. The reason why I came to the imperial examination is nothing more than to make the people feel better. The idea is to reform, but just as the eldest brother said, at this time the courtiers are fighting each other, there is no place for me to gain a foothold, so I want to let it go."

Su Ziwen snorted coldly, "You are fighting against each other in the capital. Could it be that the outside is clean? If it works from top to bottom, maybe there will be a smoky atmosphere underneath. Could it be that when you go outside, you can be alone if you don't get along with the filth?"

Su Zihan said seriously: "So I want to go to Yichun County."

Yan Shi didn't understand yet, but Su Ziwen's complexion changed drastically. He stared into Su Zihan's eyes and asked, "Have you decided?"

Su Zihan said seriously: "Yes."

Su Ziwen was silent for a moment, and said: "Brother is not as good as you, if you want to go, you can go, Yichun County is not difficult to go, and the money for walking will be saved for your transportation expenses. But, what should I do with my brothers and sisters?" To achieve certain results, it cannot be achieved in one or two years.He has no heirs, and they will rely on his younger brother in the future, so naturally the husband and wife cannot be separated for too long.

"I have already told her about the release, but not about the situation in Yichun County."

"Ask her later to see if she is willing to go with you." If not, then arrange a roommate to follow, the eldest son is the biggest.It's just that when he saw Yan's face, he didn't dare to say these words.Yan's hates talking about concubines' rooms in front of her the most.

Su Ziwen planned to go back and discuss it with his younger brother, so he pulled Yan Shi around and left.Just out of Su Zihan's sight, Yan asked everyone to retreat, and asked in a low voice, bitterly: "Then what happened to Yichun County? Where is it? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"There are so many counties in the world, you have never heard of them all." Su Ziwen said indifferently.

"Then why do you have that expression? Tell me, where is Yichun County?" Su Ziwen let go of his wife's hand, and left with his neck up in guilt.

Su Zihan went back to find Daiyu, who asked him, "Is it Yichun County in Guizhou?"

Su Zihan was surprised, "Have you heard of it?"

Daiyu nodded, "I've read the topography, and it says that Yichun County is poor and bad. Why do you want to go there?"

"I was thinking, the conditions in Yichun County are so bad, if something can be done there, there is no reason why it can't be done elsewhere, and the county magistrate of Yichun County has not been appointed for more than half a year..."

Although Daiyu didn't agree with what he said, she felt that what he said was right. It's better to start with Yichun County.

"Then when do we set off?"

Su Zihan's eyes lit up, "Are you willing to go with me?"

Daiyu looked at him strangely, "Of course I want to go with you."

Su Zihan grabbed her hand and said, "I've wronged you."

When Mrs. Yan heard that Yichun County is such a poor place, she locked herself in the house for two full days, and came out on the third day, gritted her teeth and said, "You can go if you want, but what about Daiyu?"

Su Zihan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to mention it these few days because he was waiting for his sister-in-law's letter.The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and Su Zihan hopes to get her support.

"Daiyu will go with me, don't worry sister-in-law, I will take good care of her."

Yan Shi sighed, and looked at Su Zihan's back with some emotion.Su Ziwen behind pouted, carrying the birdcage and going out for a walk with the bird again.

Yan turned around and glared at him, "It's all your fault, since he was a child, he hired those messy teachers. He didn't learn serious books, but learned these messy things, otherwise would he think about going to Yichun County? ?”

Su Ziwen felt aggrieved and said, "Why is it my fault? Didn't you say that you want Zihan to take the imperial examination, and I begged so many gentlemen to come and teach him? You said that he doesn't study serious books, so how is he taking the exam now?" of?"

"Is that what they taught? They only taught Zihan to read some miscellaneous books. Zihan was able to pass the entrance examination all the way thanks to the teaching of the gentlemen of the academy and his own hard work. It has nothing to do with those people?"

……

Su Zihan's boss was startled when he received Su Zihan's request, and thought that Su Zihan was being persecuted by someone, but after investigation, he found out that Su Zihan wanted to leave on his own.

Because Su Zihan was walking in front of the imperial court, his superior didn't delay, and put the paper in for the emperor's review that night.

When the emperor received the memorial, he also had doubts in his heart, so he called Su Zihan to question him.

No one knew what they said except Eunuch Su who was next to the emperor. Although Eunuch Su was greedy for money, he was always very measured.Know what to say and what not to say.

The emperor personally approved Su Zihan's transfer letter, and even praised Su Zihan in the early court.

The second place in the list is unavoidable, but the forty-something champion looks at Su Zihan with admiration and admiration. If he is 20 years younger, he may not be able to make this decision. It seems that this person will definitely do well in the future.

The emperor sat on it and saw the expressions of these people. The champion and the second place stood together. With such a comparison, the champion caught the emperor's attention and nodded inwardly. This person can be cultivated.

When Xiyan knew that Daiyu was leaving the capital, Zhang Shicheng's sister-in-law passed away.

As Xiyan, it doesn't matter whether she goes or not, but Xia Yuntian and Zhang Shicheng are close friends, and Zhang Shicheng treats her sister-in-law like a mother, so Xiyan wanted to mourn her.

Although Tanchun has only entered the house not long ago, he has already tidied up his and Qian's yards.Because of Qian's gratitude, Tanchun loved the three children very much, and took care of Qian's funeral well.It's just a pity that she didn't have any experience in this field, and she made a few small mistakes, but Zhang Shicheng comforted her and said, "You have done well enough."

Xiyan came over and saw that although she was tired, her expression hadn't changed much, she was still as vibrant as before, and there was more confidence in her brows and eyes.

Xiyan talked about Daiyu's departure, "I don't know when we will be reunited after this departure. Let's make an appointment with some sisters to see her off."

Tanchun nodded, "I just don't know when they will leave."

"I heard it's quite fast, it's only a few days away."

Tanchun was silent for a moment, and said: "Sister Lin is gone, I'm afraid I'm leaving the capital too."

Xi Yan looked at her in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Tanchun sighed, "You also know about Duke Qi's mansion. In fact, the second master wanted to move out a long time ago, but my sister-in-law always felt that my elder brother would be sorry for his ancestors if he moved out like this, so she kept stopping her. It's for the sake of the three children, and we also want to move out, but they don't want to violate the wishes of the sister-in-law, so they don't buy another house in the capital, and they still live in the Duke of Qi's mansion, but the second master applied to go out for military training. The family and the uncle's family will go together."

Xiyan was surprised, "Did you tell me where it is?"

"It should be Northern Xinjiang, where the troubles are more violent."

In this way, two people left.

Xiyan rubbed her belly and went back feeling a little disappointed.

Daiyu took her birth brother with her, and Su Zihan could teach him homework, while Daiyu mainly felt that traveling thousands of miles was not as good as reading thousands of books.

When Daiyu left, everyone arrived except Baochai who didn't come to see her off, even Baoyu who had been hiding from everyone came, this time his brows were more sad, and his expression when looking at Daiyu was extremely complicated .

Baochai and Baoyu's marriage is not far away, so Baochai didn't go out, but asked Yinger to bring many small gifts to Daiyu and Shenggeer.

Su Zihan also saw Baoyu. Regarding this brother, Su Zihan's heart was even more complicated. He only thought that this brother was really unlucky, but obviously, the beneficiary of the unlucky was him, so Su Zihan's heart was complicated.However, the wife still has to guard.

When Su Zihan and Daiyu left, Tanchun would leave soon.

Zhang Shicheng's official position was arranged by Xia Yuntian through his relationship. He is now staying in the capital. Although he has confidants in northern Xinjiang, none of them have the trust of Zhang Shicheng.

Soon it will be New Year's Eve, which is the first Spring Festival for Xiyan to marry Xia Yuntian.The Pingyang Marquis Mansion was deserted for six years, and it was very grand.

The next day Xiyan accompanied the old lady into the palace to pay New Year's greetings.

The old lady glanced at Xiyan's stomach worriedly, and said in a low voice, "If you are tired, just tell me, and I will try to let you go down and have a rest."

Xiyan's stomach is already four months old, and because of the generous dress, if you don't look carefully, you can't tell that she is pregnant.

Generally speaking, a four-month-old fetus is considered stable, but the old lady is still worried. After all, these girls are all spoiled and raised. After Xiyan married into their family, she never asked her to set the rules, for fear that she would be tired. arrive.This time at least the trouble will last until the afternoon, let alone a pregnant woman, even someone like Zhou's is probably too tired.

It's more than exhausting!

With a respectful smile on her face, Xi Yan followed the crowd to greet the queen mother and queen, and later they would pray under the leadership of the queen mother and queen. Tired, there are still so many people risking their lives to enter the palace every year, just to catch a glimpse of the person sitting in front from a distance.

When Xiyan glanced at an old lady in her 60s with a sweaty face, she sighed slightly.

Everyone moved, and the old lady was about to take Xiyan to follow the crowd, when a little maid came over quietly and said: "Old lady, third lady, my mother asked me to take you to the side hall to rest for a while." His eyes flicked across Xiyan's stomach.

When the old lady heard that it was sent by her daughter, she quickly said with a smile all over her face: "Your Majesty sent you here? You go back and tell your Majesty that we are fine."

"It's the empress's wish. I also ask the old madam and the third madam to come with me. The empress may ask questions later."

The old lady nodded slightly, and Xiyan smiled and said: "Then I will trouble you, sister." She said and took a purse and stuffed it to her.

The little maid hastily declined, if Xiyan offered it to her at other times, she would naturally accept it, but now in front of the old lady, how would she have the guts to accept it?

Xiyan probably knew her concerns and didn't force her.

The side hall was obviously cleaned up specially, and there was nothing on the table.

The little maid bowed and retreated after delivering the person, and came back with a plate of snacks and a pot of tea after a while.

"Old madam, third madam, you rest here first, and I'll call you when the banquet starts ahead."

The old lady smiled reservedly: "Thank you very much."

"it is my responsibility."

The duty of bringing people to the side hall?Xiyan lowered her head to drink tea, pretending she didn't hear.The old lady didn't ask.
