25. Take office without any disturbances
Now that Xiao Zhao was preparing to leave Beijing, Hong Jing saw that Pu Xianyu was enjoying a prosperous life and that he no longer needed to take care of her, so he simply partnered up with Zhao Wanyong and headed south together.
As for Mr. Min Jinghye's baby cabbage, Hong Jinglai could only put it aside for the time being.
In North Korea, where etiquette was strict and Zhu Xi's studies flourished, if Hong Jinglai had written some love poems and sent them under the inner curtain, he was sure to have his legs broken by Min Jinghye the next day.
This thing ruins the reputation of other ladies and is one of the most despicable and socially unacceptable behaviors in this era. [Note 1]
But it doesn’t matter if you give something to Min Kyung. Hong Kyung is a student of Min Kyung, and it is only natural to give gifts to the teacher. And if you give gifts to the teacher, the teacher’s wife must not forget to treat the teacher and the teacher’s wife as one’s own parents. Serve filial piety, which is the norm in this era.
A virtue that is greatly praised.
Then you need to be more careful when giving gifts to your wife. Min Jingyue was defeated when he gave some ancient books with clearly engraved editions. The old Min family didn't need hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they didn't like silver and silk.
Hong Jinglai understands that women will never reject cosmetics, jewelry, bags and the like! The gifts for his wife can be mainly elegant and pure pearl jewelry and amber pendants. After all, after thirty years old,
She is no longer a young woman now. (Pink and delicate, how old are you this year!)
Let's put some thought into it and add a European music box inside, as well as some cute and cute gadgets.
I don’t believe that a biological mother can still give uneven things to her daughter!
After finishing the matter here, he handed the house to Jin Douji and told him that if he wanted to be sent abroad, he could leave two people to take care of it. He could live there if he wanted. Anyway, Hong Jing couldn't live in the house since he went back and forth to Dongnae.
Then he met Zhao Wanyong and prepared to set off. Perhaps he clearly realized that he was going to be the censor of sinners, so Zhao Wanyong changed into a pair of old clothes for the first time!
It’s not easy!
Although it is still made of silk, the color has faded a long time ago, and the silk surface looks very dull. Natural dyes are normal. No matter how bright the color is, it will not hang on the clothes for too long.
The servants and other servants were all sent home, so I brought along a family member who looked quite strong. He could carry it and carry it, and I guess he still had some skills with his hands, but I don't know how.
But even so, with Zhao Wanyong's temperament, anyone can tell which family he belongs to!
Unlike Hong Jinglai, who was born as a small and rich farmer, he is more down-to-earth. Although in his heart he believes in punishing corruption and relieving the people's hardships. But what he reveals is more like a person in a superior position who understands the people's sentiments.
, I fully understand your pain and feel pity for you.
I hope he can do a good job as the secret censor of Jeolla Province!
Out of good intentions, Hong Jinglai still reminded him. He took off his big hat with the silver guanzi that can only be used by officials of fifth rank and above. It was too conspicuous. As for the old silk-covered clothes, in Zhao Wanyong's eyes
It may be his oldest and worst clothes, but no poor man can afford to wear silk.
Anyway, the two people were not much different in size. Hong Jinglai thought that the weather would gradually get colder, so he gave Zhao Wanyong a newly made long cotton robe. Anyone who has ever worn cotton-made clothes should know that they will wear out after a long time.
It will show a sense of life. It is different from the shiny down jacket. After a little cleaning, it will still be brand new in the second or third year.
Zhao Wanyong just looked at Hong Jinglai's cotton robe with a slight "color" of time, and then looked at the ones worn by his own family and several of Hong Jinglai's family members, and probably understood what Hong Jinglai meant.
My brother didn’t say thank you and immediately put it on!
Hong Jinglai didn't know how to sew, so he asked the hostess of his hotel to sew a secret pocket in Zhao Wanyong's cotton robe and help him carefully put the horse tag representing the censor's identity into it.
Along the way, we finally parted ways in Jeonju, where the Jeolla-do Provincial Office is located. There were some things that Hong Jinglai didn’t say, but Zhao Wanyong also knew them. Don’t push forward, be sure to preserve yourself. Don’t jump out to pick on the strong and help the weak unless you are sure of it. If you find problems, file a letter.
Anyway, there is a father and an uncle in the court, so let the court send someone to investigate.
"Master Zhao is the son of the Liangban family after all!" Seeing Zhao Wanyong enter the city, Han Sanshi quietly said to Hong Jinglai.
"At least he is a noble son who is willing to be a good official!" Hong Jinglai felt that Zhao Wanyong's father and uncle would not really leave him alone like this, and would definitely tell the officials on the ground in Jeolla Province.
It shouldn't be too difficult for him to find a way, it just depends on how far Zhao Wanyong wants to go.
"That's right, Mr. Zhao is indeed different from the ordinary two classes!"
"He can roam around Hanyang leisurely, but he asked for release and wanted to do something practical. There are not many innocent people like him!"
Han Sanshi and Hong Jinglai had met Zhao Wanyong many times. Although Zhao Wanyong ordered people around, he never beat or scolded his servants, nor was he too harsh on his servants. He worked diligently and rewarded people if he did it well. Han Sanshi went to deliver the message.
When the weather is cold, Zhao Wanyong will give him hot wine to drink, and when the weather is hot, he will give him a melon to eat.
"I hope Mr. Zhao can do well in this term!" Han Sanshi expressed his sincere wishes.
Watching Zhao Wanyong's figure disappear and disappear into the crowd entering the city, the group continued on their way. Because Zhao Wanyong was a special official, he did not need to go to the Jeolla Province Road Office to hand in documents. He was an official directly under the central government sent to the local area by the imperial court.
.The purpose is to come down and deal with local lawbreakers without having to inform the place carelessly.
Hong Jing came to see him enter the city smoothly, at least he didn't encounter any difficulties at the beginning, and that was the end of it.
No one is born to be an official. Hong Jinglai is still learning. A smart person like Zhao Wanyong will not learn slower than Hong Jinglai.
[Note 1]: This thing actually has a gradual evolution process. In the pre-Qin Dynasty, when everyone read the "Book of Songs", there were many hints of Yehe. Even in the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's grand history books wrote about him
The mother got pregnant while she was resting in the wild. It was said that a dragon lay on her body. What do you think?
In the Tang Dynasty, there were still women who were monks and Taoists like Yu Xuanji, but they were doing things in the world. Many women boldly pursued true love, including the famous story of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, where they reunited after breaking up. In fact, they also had a certain degree of autonomy in marriage.
Praise.
But it is undeniable that in the Tang Dynasty, ordinary women basically did not dare to sleep in the wild and say that a dragon made me pregnant. The social atmosphere gradually began to impose more restrictions on women.
After the Song and Ming Dynasties, everyone will find that basically all the famous love poems are written to the kiln sister. The famous love stories between men and women are basically about the rich man and the kiln sister, like Su Sanjie, Li Xiangjun, Chen Yuanyuan and so on.
Even the story of Lu You and Tang Wan, although they are no longer the noble son and the kiln sister, actually ends in tragedy. By this time, the "clear name" of women has basically been taken very seriously.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty was the most fierce chastity among women, advocating that starving to death would be a small matter, and being unchaste would be a big deal. This is why Hong Jinglai's mother's social status rose rapidly after she was awarded the title of chaste woman. Shi Feng regarded chastity as the most important quality of a woman.
.
Nowadays, even ordinary people from small families attach great importance to honor and integrity. The names on the chastity archway in the corner of the People's Park in my hometown are recorded in the hundreds, and that was only after Daoguang.
