On this day, Ruan Yuan also told several wives and concubines about the Liu family's parents. The four girls naturally knew that Ruan Yuan was a frugal person on weekdays. If the Ruan family had rashly proposed these three conditions for the Liu family's parents, I am afraid that Ruan Yuan would have turned against him by now.

Recognized people. Kong Luhua watched the Liu family reunited and heard Ruan Yuan talk about the Liu family’s parents. She felt uncomfortable in her heart and sighed: “My sister who read the book and their appearance before thought that they were all good people.

But I didn’t know that they actually have... actually have such a side."

"Master, it's all my fault. I...I didn't know that my parents would not care about anything after seeing Master. I...I..." Originally Liu Wenru was in a hurry and wanted to say that he shouldn't let his parents

After entering the Ruan family, there would be no such things. But then I thought, if I told Ruan Yuan like this, wouldn't I become an unfilial person? In the dilemma and helplessness, I couldn't bear it anymore and started to cry.

"Sister Shu, it seems like it's all my fault. If I hadn't let my wife buy land for Fu'er, maybe... maybe our family wouldn't have to spend so much money on it." Xie Xue looked at Liu Wenru's gloomy look, and also

Take the initiative to blame yourself.

"Yuezhuang, even if it's me, looking at Fu'er Hu'er, actually... Thinking about it now, I promised to buy land for your children back then, but it was not wrong. Watching them grow up in the past few years, I...

How can I really ignore their livelihood?" Ruan Yuan thought about the situation back then, but he also relaxed about the family property.

"Master, I know very well that we have to do something about this matter." Kong Luhua naturally knew that even if Ruan Yuan purchased land for Liu's parents for the sake of his own reputation, it was still his due filial piety. "This is a land purchase matter.

, let’s spend some money and go to Tianchang to buy 300 acres. It’s enough. The emperor will definitely not agree to Enyin. As for Tianchang County... Oh, Sister Shu, you parents are so cruel.

There are so many. In this short time, I have given you so many problems."

"Madam, I think Sister Shu's parents are not evil people either?" Xie Xue saw it more clearly and said to everyone: "If the two old people are indeed selfish people, then why bother every one of them?"

Why do you come to Yangzhou to look for Sister Shu once every other year? Moreover, my wife also told me that when Sister Shu recognized them, they cried, and it didn’t seem like a lie? Maybe they were also living in poverty.

After a while, I suddenly saw Sister Shu entering a second-class home like ours, and I got a little carried away for a while. If this is the case, then as long as they calm down, maybe they will understand. "

"Yuezhuang is right. They are just ordinary people. They are a little greedy, but it is inevitable. If they can be controlled in time, maybe they can behave themselves in the future. But if they can't be controlled, they... Master, it seems that the sky is the limit.

You have to write this letter to the county? Otherwise, if they really bring this matter to the magistrate, the magistrate will probably cater to them without knowing what you think. If they find that they can run rampant in Tianchang

Wuji, I'm afraid it will get worse in the future. Only by letting them calm down will they not really do evil?" Kong Luhua also added.

"That's it..." Ruan Yuan listened to Kong Luhua's words and knew that if he didn't want the Liu family's parents to become villains, the best way was to inform the Tianchang Magistrate of these matters in time, so that the Magistrate could arrest the two of them in time.

People who are inherently evil, maybe after some time, they can behave themselves. He said: "Then I will write a letter and explain the matter clearly. Magistrate Tianchang will be able to handle things more calmly."

"Master, let Jiang Er handle this matter. He can handle it clearly." Kong Luhua added.

"Haha, thank you madam for worrying about this matter. According to the book, it is my duty to buy the property for Gaotang and Gaotang. I will also inform Tianchang County in the future that I must not show any favoritism to them.

In this way, they can enjoy the rest of their lives in peace without causing trouble to their hometown, and you can rest assured here." Ruan Yuan also comforted Liu Wenru.

"Well, thank you, Master."

The next day, Ruan Yuan told the two elders that he had already started to handle the three things. Just waiting for news from him, he sent the two elders back to Tianchang and redeemed the fields they farmed. Soon, Ruan Yuan wrote a letter to let them know.

Jiang Er sent it to Lu Yuanrong, the magistrate of Tianchang County, and explained to him in detail the matter of Liu Wenru's parents, and told him that if they made any requests that exceeded the rules, they could refuse them directly without mercy.

Not long after, Ruan Yuan also found 300 acres of land for the two elders to provide for their retirement. Father Liu and mother Liu were overjoyed when they got the land. They wanted to show off to the Tianchang County government office, so Lu Yuanrong followed Ruan Yuan's instructions.

, only received the two of them for the first time, and then turned them away and refused to listen to any of their requests. Liu's father and Liu's mother hit the wall several times, thinking that they would always have a pension property, and they would no longer have to worry about their livelihood in the future.

As time went by, the two of them gradually forgot about the matter of Feng Yin. This may have been the best outcome for the two elders.

December in the capital was extremely cold this year, with heavy snow falling from time to time and never letting up. When Zhu Gui was seriously ill, he knew that he would not be able to survive such a winter. But no matter what, he still had a problem.

My wish was not fulfilled. On this day, I forced my sick body to write a letter on the desk. It was easy to write a few lines, but I couldn't support it anymore. I started coughing uncontrollably, and then my vision went dark, and I almost fainted.

go.

"Father, why are you doing this?" his son Zhu Xijing couldn't help but exhort him. Zhu Xijing had already become a member of the Ministry of Punishment thanks to his father's help. It was also because Zhu Gui's condition had worsened that day that he had just returned home to take care of his father. He looked at it.

In the corner of the letter, although the whole sentence could not be read, the word "Ruan Yuan" could be vaguely seen. He could not help but say to Zhu Gui: "Father, the child also knows that Brother Ruan Shi is his father's disciple. The child also knows that, but the father is already ill.

Now that it's like this, Brother Ruan Shi, the child only thinks that he is an official and has established a school, and he has quite a political reputation. I guess there is no need for his father to be so worried. Why should his father ignore his own health and write to Brother Ruan Shi?

?”

"Xijing, you are wrong. This letter... This letter is not for Boyuan now, but for you..." Zhu Gui finally recovered and said to his son: "Boyuan is an official.

How, your father knows better than you. He is currently guarding the system. In the coming year, he will either replace the assistant minister or be appointed governor. It is not difficult, but the real difficulty lies in... five years later. Father knows that Bo Yuan was promoted too quickly that year, and he will be promoted early.

To be able to ascend to high positions, these fathers trust Boyuan, but what about others? Over the years, maybe you haven't noticed, but your father has already heard about it. Many doctors of your age, Yuanwailang, and even officials in the capital, all have a crush on Boyuan.

...have nothing good to say, so if one day someone slanders the emperor, how can the emperor and Bo Yuan fully trust Bo Yuan after they have been separated for many years? At this time... this will be used

A letter..."

"Father, we all know what Brother Ruan Shi's character and knowledge are. No matter what the Emperor says, he is still considered to be Brother Ruan Shi's fellow disciple. Those villains are jealous of Brother Ruan Shi and slander the Emperor. This... even if such things are true,

I think the emperor also knows his holy heart and will never harm brother Ruan Shi?" Zhu Xijing said in confusion, but even so, Zhu Xijing still supported Zhu Gui and carried his father to the bed to rest.

Zhu Gui gradually adjusted his breath and whispered: "Xi Jing... there are some things that you may not be able to see, but father can. Why doesn't the emperor want to work hard to rule the country and recreate a prosperous world in these years? But in the past few years, the emperor has encountered many difficulties.

What has happened? In two years, four governors have been dismissed, and there has been such a big private seal case in Zhili. From my father's perspective, the emperor's trust in his ministers is no longer what it used to be. Bo Yuan... he is doing things for his father

You can rest assured, but within the officialdom, after all, the good and the bad are mixed. The emperor was angry with Boyuan because of other ministers. Do you think this...isn't this very possible? Boyuan has been away from home for seven or eight years. In Beijing,

There are not many people who can support him, so if something happens, he... he is more... more dangerous than anyone else..."

"Is Brother Ruan Shi's situation really so dangerous?" Zhu Xijing listened to his father's words and was already half convinced.

"Be prepared..." Zhu Gui tried his best to regulate his breathing, and then said to his son: "My father has served as a local governor, so he knows some things very well. The emperor may not be as talented as Emperor Gaozong, but he strives to prosper the world again.

My father has always seen his heart. So what do you need to revitalize the country? What is needed is the cooperation of internal and external forces, and the harmony between the monarch and his ministers? One thing is decided by the emperor, but it is the governor who implements it.

, if the governor is incompetent, or if he acts against the will, the emperor will not be able to accomplish anything, no matter how good his intentions are. Bo Yuan... he is not only my good student, but also one of the top provincial pillars in the dynasty, I... I

It can be seen that Boyuan has been the governor of Zhejiang for six years. Not only students and scholars praised him highly, but he also tried his best to implement every government order he issued. Every time there was water conservancy relief, he also made sure that the money and food were used in the real way.

Don't give the traitors below an opportunity to take advantage of them. How many people in the world are there who work for the people with such sincerity? If something unexpected happened to Boyuan, it would be like losing a person to our Qing Dynasty.

Arms... Xi Jing, my father has been favored by the emperor and has been favored and honored for a lifetime, but he has long forgotten it. But because of this, I have to repay the emperor's favor..."

"Father, the child understands." Zhu Xijing also nodded and said: "But I don't know what the father needs the child to do?"

"Remember, if Bo Yuan has nothing to do, that's it. If Bo Yuan can't stick to his today's ambition and actually does something dirty, you don't have to help him anymore. But if Bo Yuan unexpectedly gets killed because of other things.

If there is an unexpected disaster, then this letter will be useful." Zhu Gui's voice has gradually become weak, but it is still clear. Zhu Xijing will naturally remember it firmly: "Once such a thing happens, you... you go to Sheng Gongfu and give this letter

Give it to them, saying that this is a letter related to Boyuan's wealth and life, and ask them... They go to Yan Shenggong. Boyuan and Yan Shenggong are related by marriage. With this friendship and this letter, they can...

…can……"

At this point, Zhu Gui finally lost his strength, but still looked at his son reluctantly, as if telling him that this letter would definitely help Ruan Yuan avert danger.

"My son, remember, with Duke Yan Sheng's help, maybe the emperor can be more lenient with brother Ruan Shi. Father has already written the rest in the letter, right?" Zhu Xijing said.

Zhu Gui was speechless for a moment and just nodded.

"Don't worry, father, I will definitely keep this letter. If Brother Ruan Shi is in trouble, I will try my best to help him." Zhu Xijing replied to his father.

"That's it...that's good..." Zhu Gui slowly closed his eyes as he saw that he had finally finished explaining the last thing. If Ruan Yuan is fine, Jiaqing and the Qing Dynasty are fine, even if he dies, he will be fine

He left calmly. For the rest of his life, he believed in the teachings of Buddha and Lao Lao. After explaining the external affairs, he had no extravagant expectations for what happened after his death.

As an emperor's teacher, from official to prime minister, in such a life, why do you need to seek fame and fortune?

On the fifth day of December in the eleventh year of Jiaqing, Zhu Gui, a bachelor of Tirenge and Ruan Yuan's mentor in the provincial examination, passed away peacefully in his mansion in the capital at the age of seventy-six. When Jiaqing heard the news of Zhu Gui's death, he also visited Zhu's mansion to pay his respects in person.

To repay the kindness of teachers and students, Zhu Gui was given the posthumous title Wenzheng.

It was also this year that Wang Chang, who had previously given lectures on exegesis of scriptures and had been a great help to Ruan Yuan when he first became governor, also passed away at his home in Huqiu at the age of eighty-three. This year was still a great one for Ruan Yuan.
