Lucky husband

Nanny Qiu and Mrs. Li belong to different types of old people, but they have one thing in common, that is, hard-spoken and soft-hearted. If you can get along with them sincerely, you will easily find that they are good old people.

Seeing that Li Mingjin hesitated to speak after talking about their decision, Qiu Momo seemed to feel even more uncomfortable, and smiled: "Brother Jin, don't think so much, I wanted to stay on my own. "

Li Mingjin didn't want to feel uncomfortable, but he just felt sore in his heart and couldn't control it.

After staying in Nanny Qiu's room for a while, Li Mingjin went out.

During this period of time, they didn't cook by themselves any more. The Wanjia cooked the meals and sent them a copy, mainly because their bodies needed to be recuperated.

Of course, Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingde didn't just take advantage of Wan Rongtong and the others, they paid for the food and vegetables.

It's just that Wan's family is giving monthly money to the servants of the Wan family, so they don't give a separate share of this money. What Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingde discussed was to give the servants and maids of the Wan family a separate share when they separated. A sum of money as a thank you.

In this way, it will not be said that they are taken care of by the Wan family, and that they are all eaten by the Wan family.

In fact, the maids and servants of the Wan family are very happy to take care of Bai Zhiwen and the others. There are two Jinshi masters in this yard. After they return to the Wan family, as long as they say that they have taken care of the young master's two friends, they will definitely be transferred. It is easier to do things in a place with more monthly money.

After asking about Nanny Qiu's attitude, Li Mingjin went back to the room for a while, and suddenly felt a little bored.

Now, the chores at home have been done by the maids from the Wan family who came to help, and he doesn't have to worry about the food, as if he has nothing else to do except recuperate.

Thinking back to the past, what did the ladies and buddies of the big families that Qiu Momo mentioned do when they were at home?

read?write?Needlework?Learn to master?Dealing with the back room?With boudoir close friends?Communicate with the friends of the lord, and the family members of colleagues in the DPRK and China?

It seems that he can't do these things now...

Because Li Mingjin had a serious illness before being tied up, although several doctors said that he was already in good health, no matter whether it was Bai Zhiwen or others, they all believed that he still needed to rest.

He is not allowed to do any hard work, except for getting up for a walk occasionally, reading, writing, and needlework.

Not to mention that the head of the family manages the back house and communicates with others, and now he doesn't need it at all.

Because this year's situation is too special, the crown prince just had an accident, and the people in the capital can't wait to put their tails between their tails and be a man, so how dare they hold a banquet for others.

Not to mention the officials, there is very little communication between Jinshi in the same department. I am afraid that if one is not paying attention, he will be labeled as a clique for personal gain, and so many years of hard study will be in vain.

Perhaps the atmosphere in the capital will be a little more active when the official news of the appointment of officials from the Ministry of Officials comes out.

The officials of the Ministry of Officials this year are so busy that they are dizzy. Since there was a fraud case in the Liu family, they cooperated with the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy to arrange two general examinations.

Just finished the affairs of the Liu family and arranged for the appointment of the Xinke Scholars, the Jinren came to Beijing.

Busy and busy, before the golden man left, the prince suddenly rebelled.

In order to deal with the prince's affairs, the official department has another round of reshuffle. All the changes of officials and the arrangement of new subjects, everyone in the official department is constantly changing, and it is not easy to take a breath.

Not only the officials, but most of the officials in the capital are in this state. Everyone is busy, and the atmosphere is tense. This year, the revenue of restaurants in the capital has dropped greatly, and the bosses behind the restaurants are gritting their teeth.

But there is no way, if anyone dares to stand out in a special period, he will be the first one to be hit.

After lying on the bed for more than ten days, Li Mingjin felt that all his bones were going to be limp, and if he didn't go out for activities, he might get sick again.

Bai Zhiwen came back when Li Mingjin was lying bored. He just went out to meet his teacher Zhang Anhao and asked Zhang Anhao what he thought.

What Zhang Anhao meant was not so good, because if Bai Zhiwen wanted to stay in the capital, he could contribute. Although he had retired, his reputation was still there. His son, Zhang Xiuyuan, was in the court and offered Bai Zhiwen a position. It won't be difficult.

At present, it seems that the sixth prince has little hope of seizing the heir. In the long run, his chance of success is not small, and it is no problem to have a good relationship with the sixth prince.

But now the Holy Majesty is still in his prime, with a clear mind, there is no need to stand in line so early, especially when it comes to his own interests, don't let the sixth prince take action easily.

Zhang Anhao's words awakened Bai Zhiwen, the current Holy Majesty has not shown signs of decline, and it is best to be a pure imperialist.

With Zhang's family around, as long as he doesn't make wrong choices, he will be able to gain part of the emperor's trust by appearing on the stage. It will not be difficult for him to get ahead in the capital like those children from really poor families who have no connections.

After figuring it out, Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingde went to see the sixth prince again, and told him to thank him for his kindness.

The sixth prince felt it was a pity, he didn't force it, he let it go very simply, and told Bai Zhiwen that they could come to them anytime if they needed it.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the sixth prince who was ready was ordered to set off from the capital to lead the soldiers from the three provinces that had been organized on the way to the border, join the eldest prince who led the frontier army, and attack the Kingdom of Jin.

It is conceivable that the emperor would attack the Kingdom of Jin because of the prince, but the person who led the troops to the border did not know who it would be. It has something to do with generals.

Unexpectedly, this task finally fell on the sixth prince, who seemed to be inconspicuous in the court, and everyone couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking.

Is it worried that the fourth prince will be strong and will conflict with the first prince, which will affect their attack on the Kingdom of Jin?

Or is it because the family of the fourth prince's mother and concubine already has contact with the general, and letting him lead the army, isn't it equivalent to handing over the military power to the fourth prince, the emperor is worried?

No matter how the subordinates guessed, with the support of the emperor, the sixth prince successfully led the army to the border step by step.

At the same time, the Zhang family began to help Bai Zhiwen plan to stay in the capital. Fortunately, the arrangements for the appointment of officials by the Ministry of Officials had not been fully worked out at this time, and it did not take much effort.

Half a month later, Bai Zhiwen's official position finally came out, and he stayed in the Ministry of Industry as a small seventh-rank chief.

The Ministry of Industry is the department with the weakest sense of existence among the six ministries. Although it has real power, it has too little real power, and it needs the cooperation of other departments to do things.

Fortunately, Bai Zhiwen is quite satisfied with his position, because he once had some ideas on improving farm equipment.

In the first two years when he returned to Shanghe Village to observe filial piety, he saw the villagers working hard and wanted to do something for them, but he was busy studying and learning at that time, so he was not capable enough, so he put this matter aside for the time being. Put it in the back, now that he has entered the Ministry of Industry, he can start to study farm tools again.

Five days later, the results of the dispatched officials also came out.

Li Mingde left the capital as he wished, and worked as a co-prefect in Nanliao Province and Songning Prefecture, which were close to the former Han Province.

Zhou Tongzhi, the official residence is from the sixth rank. If it is simply calculated according to the grade, he is one level higher than Bai Zhiwen, but because the Beijing official is special, when compared with foreign officials, he has to be raised by one level, so the two are considered to be of the same level. .

The one from Wanrongtong also came out. He went to Ercang Province, which is next to the original Han Province in the other direction. He is also a prefect of the same state, just like Li Mingde.

Before taking office, foreign officials will take family leave ranging from half a month to three months according to the distance of their household registration from the capital. Li Mingde and Wan Rongtong are given two months, and they can go back first. The original Han province, and then go to the place where they were officials.

In the future, without special approval, they will not have such a long family leave, and there are very few opportunities to go back to their hometown to visit their relatives.

Bai Zhiwen, who chose to stay in the capital as an official, did not have such a long family leave. Now that the various ministries in the capital are busy, his official position has just been confirmed, and within three days he will go to the Ministry of Industry to start working.

At that time, Li Mingjin watched Bai Ting and Li Mingde start to pack their things, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Before that, he knew that they would separate, but until that moment, he didn't realize it, and only then did he finally realize it.

Going to Beijing to rush for the exam, although they left their hometown together, he quickly adapted to it because of his elder brother and sister-in-law by his side.

Now the eldest brother and sister-in-law are leaving, and only Bai Zhiwen and Qiu Nai will be there in the future. Thinking about him, he feels unaccompanied.

Although the Zhang family treated them very well, they were always separated by a layer, and they were not as comfortable as their own family being together.

Just when Li Mingjin realized that the family was going to be separated, Bai Zhiwen started to leave early and return late. Li Mingjin felt sorry for him and never showed his emotions in front of him, but only smiled at Bai Zhiwen.

If it weren't for the hard work he had to do every day when he first went to the Ministry of Industry, Bai Zhiwen would definitely have noticed that something was wrong with Li Mingjin from the very beginning, but he had to deal with his colleagues every day in the Ministry of Industry, and he also had to understand what he needed to do in the Ministry of Industry. , I was very tired when I got home, so I let Li Mingjin hide it.

In the end, Mother Qiu saw that Li Mingjin's mood was wrong, and enlightened him: "If you can't go back, you should prepare more gifts, and ask Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai to bring them back. At least you can show your heart, and your parents will also give you some gifts." You can rest assured."

So, Li Mingjin started to take the money, and together with Madam Qiu, planned what things to bring back and which people in the family. With this distraction, Li Mingjin's mood gradually improved.

Because Li Mingjin put a lot of thought into it, in the end it was just the gifts he brought back to his hometown that filled a carriage full.

Seeing this, Bai Zhiwen simply bought two more carriages, one for Li Mingde and the others to use on their return journey, and the other for Bai Zhiwen and the others to use in the capital.
