Chapter 40 Rules

"Go, go!"

With the shouts, a convoy stopped at the Jiading County Government Office. The young military officer in his helmet and armor leaped off and glanced at the waiting people, and another expression of impatient appeared on his face.

As the youngest son of Zhejiang's leading military general Lu Tong, the 21-year-old Lu Bin has such capital. Although the Ming Dynasty is noble and the military is inferior, it depends on the actual situation. Now, in Zhejiang, the war is everywhere, and the status of military generals is gradually rising.

However, Lu Bin was just a newcomer and stayed with his father Lu Tong, who had just been released from prison, and was kicked out for less than a month before he was exposed to the hospital. He felt uncomfortable.

However, he also knew very well that the guards would not be able to lose this time, otherwise, even the governor's yamen would be furious and held accountable.

"Young Master Sun." Lu Bin took a young scholar from the carriage and "here to the county government."

The scholar stood firm and bowed to everyone at the county government office. He turned around and took a gray-haired old man from the carriage.

Hu Peng, the magistrate of Jiajing County, could no longer help, and quickly came to Changju to salute, "Teacher, I have worked hard all the way."

The old man stroked his beard and looked around, nodded slightly, and sighed: "It's been thirty years, and I can finally taste the sea bass water shield again."

"Life is a good place to be prepared. How can you be bound by a profession for thousands of miles to get a title?" Hu Peng complimented: "As a master, the teacher is also in charge of the Secretary's Office. He is not tempted by power and position, and he should be famous in history."

"Forget it, I'm old and powerless, and I still have to be greedy for power if I don't return home?" The old man shook his head.

This sentence faintly mocks Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet who is now 66 years old, but still refuses to retire.

County Magistrate Hu did not dare to take over this sentence, and turned to say, "Teacher, come to the mansion to rest. It just so happened that Mr. Zhenchuan was visiting today."

This old man is Sun Chengen, a Sun from Huating in Songjiang. He retired at the end of last year as the Minister of Rites and the head of the Zhan Shifu. He was scolded by Yan Song because he refused to comply with Jiajing's orders and wore Taoist priests' uniforms. He simply resigned from his post and returned home. Because he was too old, he suffered from a cold and he delayed his journey until this year.

Hu Peng, the magistrate of Jiajing County, was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing, and Sun Chengen was the examiner of that subject, and was considered Hu Peng's room teacher.

Lu Bin, who was standing beside him, was confused and bored, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the group of guys who were taking the car halfway behind the convoy.

Qian Yuan, this name is Lu Bin, and he has heard of the lawsuit that caused a lot of discussion in Hangzhou half a month ago, and his father Lu Tong has a good reputation for it.

"It's so majestic." Li Si whispered enviously: "Even if he resigns from office and returns home, he still has such a big style."

"If it weren't for Huating's hometown, maybe Duke Yizhai could have entered the cabinet." Qian Yuan sighed regretfully. You must know that Sun Cheng'en was the Minister of Rites before. Generally speaking, this is a sign of entering the cabinet, but unfortunately there is Xu Huating in the cabinet.

Qian Yuan was indeed very sorry. Today, he met the Sun family and his party outside Jiading County. Sun Chengen asked Qian Yuan to accompany him without hesitation.

At first, Qian Yuan was surprised, but then he learned the whole story from his descendant Kehong. Although his second uncle Qian Zheng had no son, he had a daughter and married Sun Kehong's cousin.

The relationship between in-laws is really complicated. Although Qian Yuan's branch had declined in the early years and his father Qian Rui even had to do business to maintain the family plan, after Qian Zheng passed the Jinshi, the Qian family immediately jumped up.

Qian Zheng's father-in-law was a Jinshi, and his in-laws also had two Jinshi. One was born in Huiyuan and was well-known in the Hanlin Academy. The other was almost admitted to the Minister of Rites.

What a pity, otherwise I would be able to hold a thigh in the future... But it may not be. After all, Sun Chengen is already sixty-four years old this year.

"It's quite strange." Yang Wen, who is becoming more and more active, whispered: "Although he was once a high position, he resigned and returned home. Why did the governor's yamen send troops to escort it? It was the son of Lord Lu, the general of the Western Zhejiang Governor, who was personally escorted it."

"What's hard to understand?" Qian Yuan curled his mouth, "Previously, Mr. Ji Quan was unable to get sick or even die because of a small group of Japanese pirates attacking Shaoxing. There were many discussions in the court, and some people even sued Nanjing. If Sun Chengen had such an accident on his way back home..."

"That's the governor of Zhejiang, this is Nanzhili!"

"But now we are sending troops north." Qian Yuan explained casually: "We are lucky, so we follow them back to Huating. It is safe and doesn't have to worry about it... Otherwise, we can't eat a few meals if we chop Zhang San!"

Yang Wen smiled and glanced at Zhang San who was pretending to be dead. This guy generously gave Qian Yuan a blanket that he didn't need this morning. An hour later Qian Yuan went to find the silver beans at the corner of the blanket's clothes...

If it weren't for Sun Chengen and his party, they would either rob the family or beg for food to return to Huating.

On the other side, Sun Chengen and County Magistrate Hu had already entered the mansion. Sun Kehong came over with a smile to greet Qian Yuan and others.

"Brother Yuan, I have arranged a room for you. After all, Jiading County is a small county and the conditions are simple. Let's get together when I return to Huating." Sun Kehong and the Qian family have a relationship and are also very familiar with Qian Yuan, but their relationship may not be very good before. After all, Qian Yuan's mouth was taught by Qian Fu.

Sun Kehong was the son of Sun Chengen in his later years and was very famous in Huating County. Although he has no fame and fortune to this day, he is both outstanding in calligraphy and painting, and is also righteous. He has friends all over Songjiang Prefecture.

In fact, Sun Kehong was the pillar of the Songjiang School of Painting later, and his reputation in later generations was much greater than that of his father Sun Chengen.

"Thank you, Brother Yunzhi." Qian Yuan bowed and said, "I don't know when I will set off?"

"It's hard to say. My father is old and has been coughing more than a few days ago. County Magistrate Hu has sent someone to hire a doctor. Brother Yuan is in a hurry to go back?"

"No hurry, no hurry." Qian Yuan's mouth twitched, and he had to stick to you no matter whether he was anxious or not.

Lu Bin finished packing up and came over to chat for a few words. The three of them were about to enter the mansion, when suddenly a servant rushed over.

"Mr. Sun, I am not at home. I have sent someone to find me. He is a master of the Gu family in Songjiang. He is famous and is best at treating cold diseases." The servant coughed twice, "It is said that his foreign pharmacy has entered a batch of medicinal materials and asked him to help."

Traditional Chinese medicine is divided into medicine, but many doctors often do not lose this money and will introduce customers to pharmacies at acquaintances or even relatives.

The county magistrate on the side quickly explained: "A small group of Japanese pirates have invaded Kunshan, Taicang, and the two pharmacies in the county have not purchased goods for a long time. This is also a good thing. I will definitely prepare medicine for the old man later."

Sun Kehong said a few words of politeness and was about to walk in. Yang Wen, who was standing beside him, quietly touched Qian Yuan's back elbow two steps forward.

Qian Yuan ignored this guy and went straight into the county government. After settling down, he licked his lips and thought to himself... How could it be so coincidental? I was robbed of medicinal materials yesterday, and today there was a medicinal material merchant in Jiading City to sell medicine.

"Young Master." Yang Wen asked tentatively: "Why should I go and have a look?"

"What do you see?" Qian Yuan snorted, "I'm afraid others won't recognize you?"

"That……"

"What's the hurry?" Qian Yuan waved his hand, "Don't you understand it yet? You young master, I will retaliate. I will naturally be worried about such a big loss."

"What should I do if I run away?" Yang Wen was fine in other aspects, but he was a little anxious. "The young master's jade pendant is still in their hands!"

Qian Yuan sat down and took a teacup and sipped, "Tell you good, this is also my rule for you, your master."

"Don't make enemies casually."

"Don't act casually."
