Chapter 352

Ji Zhen passed Shahe County, which was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. In the cold winter of Beichang Prefecture, everyone was aware that the New Year was over after the first lunar month. Of course, the whole New Year was considered during the New Year, which was a bit exaggerated. The government always worked as a worker after the fifth day of the lunar month. In fact, like the yamen runners, there was no New Year. A Nian paid three times the salary, so that the yamen runners and the officers and soldiers of the inspection department were working as a worker after the New Year, just to be afraid that something would happen in the county would be too busy during the New Year. What about recruiting thieves during the New Year, throwing things and children, these things would happen all year round.

It’s okay to lose things, but it’s just a loss of money. If you lose children, no one should be anxious to death.

Since taking office, A Nian has been guarding against these people during festivals and holidays. This year, he has also arrested several groups of human traffickers. When Ji Zhen came, A Nian had just finished interrogating the human traffickers and took County Magistrate Sun to the prefecture to report the matter.

Ji Zhen didn't gain weight during the Chinese New Year, and she was still the same as before. She was still wearing the red fox Yunjin cloak, with deer-skin boots on her feet, and wearing a small red dress and a small red jacket. He Zijin laughed, "You can get married in this outfit of Azhen."

Ji Zhen was a little shy and asked, "Sister He, is Sister Ah Xi there with Master Chaoyun?"

He Zijin was about to call A Xi and the others back, and Ji Zhen said, "No need, I'll just go find A Xi's sister."

He Zijin said, "What's the hurry? It's not too late to drink a little water and take a break before going."

Ji Zhen said, "Sister, I'm not thirsty." Shui didn't even bother to take a sip, so he went to find Sister A Xi. Then, when he saw the fat sister with flowers on her head, A Xi was also very happy to see Ji Zhen, and ran over and hugged Uncle Ji Zhen like a bird. Ji Zhen hugged A Xi and first gave A Xi a half-blind dream of her head. A Xi didn't realize it, and she was already happily talking to Uncle Zhen, from the time of the era to the day of the Spring Festival to the day before.

A Xi said with gestures, "I bought a big carp lantern such a big for Uncle Zhen, and it will hang it outside our house. Let's light wax to watch it together at night."

Ji Zhen said happily, "Okay."

I went over to pay tribute to Master Chaoyun and wished Master Chaoyun a new year. Master Chaoyun looked slightly and smiled, "There are no red envelopes for New Year's greetings, and Ah Xi has received all your red envelopes for you."

Ji Zhen heard this and looked at Ah Xi and was very happy.

Master Chaoyun asked him about the things on the road. Ji Zhen was fluent in his mouth and said, "I went out on the 16th day of the first lunar month, and Uncle Li sent me over. I walked on the road for four days. The weather was good and the wind was not strong, so it was very smooth."

Master Chaoyun sent the children to play, and Ji Zhen had time to ask, "Sister Xi, why do you wear so many flowers?"

Ah Xi touched the flowers on her head happily, and was still stinky, "Did Brother Chongyang buy it for me to wear, is it beautiful, Uncle Zhen?"

This is definitely the first time Ji Zhen has ever said something against her will in her life, nodding, "It's done."

Ah Xi became even more stinky and said, "I have so many more, I'll change it tomorrow."

Ji Zhen hurriedly said, "I will pick flowers for you tomorrow."

Ah Xi nodded and agreed.

Because Ji Zhen had just arrived, Aye brought Erbao Erlang and came over. The children surrounded Ji Zhen and asked Ji Zhen about the New Year at Beijingguan. Then, Aye also talked with Ji Zhen with a proud look on his face about him helping his father catch human traffickers. Erbao Erlang quickly said, "I and me!"

Yes, A Nian set up a trap to catch human traffickers, and he used the bait made by his own children, which was actually not considered as bait. There were always many guards around the children. A Nian just let the guards relax a little. His children were cute, so the traffickers came one after another.

A Ye sat on a small stool, crossing his legs. It was hard for him to do such a difficult move with such a cotton coat. A Ye said, "I could tell at a glance that it was a crutch."

Erbao Erlang hurriedly said, "We can see it too!"

Ji Zhen hurriedly asked, "How did you see it?"

A Ye said, "I have to take me to eat delicious food. This kind of person is a human trafficker at first glance! My mother said it a long time ago. If someone I don't know invites me to eat, he will definitely be a human trafficker!"

"There are also people who said they would take us to see the juggling!" Erbao Erlang said in unison, "There are people who said they would take us to ride a horse!"

Ji Zhen asked, "You have met a few groups of human traffickers."

The three of them couldn't understand it. A Ye said it was three groups, Erbao said it was four groups, Erlang was good at math, and three plus four equals seven. So he said it was seven groups. Well, A Nian County Zunzong arrested two groups of human traffickers.

In this way, compared to those counties where children were lost, A Nian, who caught the human trafficker and did not lose the child, seemed so capable!

When Governor Yu saw A Nian’s interrogation documents, he told his wife when he went home, "Jiang Xiaoxian Zun's evaluation is not even enough to give it to a medium level."

Mrs. Yu laughed, "I heard that Jiang Xiaoxianzun is only in his prime and is so capable."

"The key is to know how to use your brain." Governor Yu said, "By the way, if you have time, let's dig out the auspicious day with your in-laws."

Mrs. Yu said, "Da Niu has had two minor illnesses during the Chinese New Year. She is still not very stable. When Da Niu's health is cured, let's talk about Bu Jiri."

Governor Yu asked, "Why haven't it been done yet?"

"The first year I spent the New Year in Beichang Prefecture, maybe I didn't adapt to the winter climate here."

"What's wrong with this? We were also very good in the first year." Governor Yu disagreed, thinking that his granddaughter was too coquettish and said, "The Empress went to Fujian to be a vassal. Our hometown is not as comfortable as Beichang Mansion. Every summer, the sea breeze is like a blow to the roof. It's cloudy and cold in winter, and there is no kang to sleep, and it doesn't feel warm if there are so many basins of charcoal in the cage."

Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "Yes. I'm used to the sea breeze. Later, I came to Beichang Mansion and felt that I couldn't pass the summer without the wind. It was snowing here, so I went out to ride a sled, hahaha, it was also interesting."

"Yes." Governor Yu said, "I like to be on the outside and look at the customs and customs outside. Why bother to be trapped in the imperial capital? The same goes for the big girl in the future. How many officials can stay in the imperial capital? Since A Lie seeks fame, he will definitely become an official in the future. What should she do if she is so delicate?"

Governor Yu said, "Please take care of the big girl's good health. I'm about to get married, but it's not good to be so delicate."

Mrs. Yu nodded and agreed.

Mrs. Yu was worried when she thought of this eldest granddaughter. She was originally very good and was very enthusiastic about the He family. She discussed the marriage. She was not very happy when she got engaged. Mrs. Yu felt that she was really old and didn't know what the young people were thinking now.

Mrs. Yu had a deep experience and was better at the eldest granddaughter. When the grandparents and grandchildren talked, Mrs. Yu said to Empress Xie and said, "Speaking of this year, the prince was only a concubine. Today's mother, Queen Su, had a mediocre favor in the harem. At that time, how could she want to get today?"

Yu Daniu said, "Why don't everyone say that the Queen is blessed?"

Mrs. Yu laughed, "A few years ago, I was the first to ascend the throne. After the filial piety of the late emperor, I heard that a minister wrote to Your Majesty and said that it was a plan for his descendants and that he should choose the harem. Now I refuse, which shows that I have deep affection for the Empress."

Yu Daniu smiled and said, "Yes, this matter has been spread as a beautiful story in the imperial capital."

Mrs. Yu looked at her granddaughter's beautiful cheek with a smile and said, "Do you know why Your Majesty and the Empress are so affectionate and loyal?"

Yu Daniu couldn't answer. After all, she was too young and was not familiar with the world, nor did she know many old things in the past. Mrs. Yu had a deep experience and said, "When the princes became kings, because the land of Fujian was not peaceful, the late emperor ordered the emperor to be in the vassal of Fujian. You have never lived in Fujian, and I don't know that the environment there would be better than that of Beichang Prefecture. The Empress followed the vassal of Fujian without hesitation. You were still young, and I don't know that it was very difficult for the Empress when she was young. Because of some old things, since she married into the royal family, Ci'en Palace did not like her and always looked for the Queen's mistakes. Every time Ci'en Palace attacked, the Queen will protect her. This couple is called husband and wife. Many people only see His Majesty and the Queen's husband and wife deep affection, and they don't know how they supported each other."

"There are also the ancestor Wen Zhonggong and Su Xiang." Mrs. Yu said, "Su Xiang's old ministers in the three dynasties were famous all over the world. Everyone respected him. But in fact, Su Xiang was not from the Su family's direct lineage. Su Xiang's grandmother Cheng was the grandmother of Emperor Zu. Cheng was the eldest son of Emperor Zu. Cheng was a domineering man. Su Xiang's lineage was born in a villain and did not have a good life when he was young. Even Mrs. Su was just an ordinary family. When Su Xiang was young, who could know that he was an important minister in the court and the prime minister of the country in the future? Mrs. Su Xiang, everyone said that this old lady was blessed, and her husband was honored and her wife was noble, but who knew about those difficult days?"

"Another, the capital is famous. The wealthy families in the imperial capital are well aware of the rebellion of the Liu family in Pingguo. Duke Lao Ping and Duke Lao Pingguo's wife are also husband and wife for life. Duke Lao Pingguo's wife was born into the legitimate daughter of the four founding dukes' mansions. She married into the Pingguo's mansion, which is of equal status, but what's the use? When the Duke Ningguo's mansion was convicted, Duke Lao Ping immediately abandoned his first wife Xiu. Such a ruthless and unrighteous person is the position of Duke Prince, so what's the use of marrying him!"

"No one can guess the fate of a person in this world. Some people are sweet first and then bitter, while others are bitter first and then sweet. But no matter whether it is bitter or sweet, I have seen through this life. No matter how bitter it is, the couple will work together and not be bitter. No matter how sweet it is, if you are together, you will not be sweet. You are old, think about it very much. Once you have thought about it, don't always lie on the bed."

Mrs. Yu also tried her best to persuade her eldest granddaughter. She really didn't know that the eldest granddaughter was not happy. If she knew that the He family's marriage would be unhappy, her granddaughter could also give it a try. Or, the niece and granddaughter in the clan, and in the mother's family, there would be no lucky grandchild. Now that the marriage has been settled, she came here again, which really bothered Mrs. Yu.

Fortunately, Yu Daniu didn't understand what his grandmother said. Besides, Mrs. Yu was talking about famous things in the imperial capital. There was nothing wrong with the little girl's family, but it couldn't be too unrealistic. The person who was delayed in the end was just her.

Mrs. Yu almost made it clear. Yu Daniu thought about her grandmother's words and her illness was cured.

When she recovered from her illness, the He family came over to discuss the auspicious date of marriage.

Mrs. He also said to Mrs. Shen at home, "Is this Miss Yu's body not very strong?" Although Mrs. He is very happy to tell her grandson a prominent marriage, the body of her granddaughter-in-law is also extremely important.

When I heard that Yu Daniu was sick, Shen had also visited him a few times. He smiled and said, "The little girl's house is in Beichang Mansion for the first year. There are so many things to do during the New Year, maybe she is sick."

Mrs. He sighed, "Look at her grandson's wife, she is fatter than when she was younger and younger. Why is it not as healthy as our old ones?"

Shen smiled, "How is this the same? Miss Yu is a girl from a wealthy family and has been a little weak since childhood. Although I looked thin at that time, I grew up. Even if I don't have to go to the fields to farm, I have to do everything at home."

Mrs. He said to Shen, "When someone in Shahe County, I will send a message to our girl and ask her to help buy some high-end red ginseng. I will bring it back when I come back. You can send it to your granddaughter-in-law and ask her to take a look at it and condition her body."

"My mother and I thought of going to the same place."

Mrs. He smiled and discussed with Shen about the auspicious days. Since this year is the year of autumn, A Lie wants to give it a try. Whether it will be successful or not, it is better to accumulate some experience. So Mrs. He said, "It is best to set it in the first half of the year. If the marriage is completed in the first half of the year, it will also be prosperous. A Lie may be happy.

Shen was also willing to hold his grandson earlier and said with a smile, "A Lie is seventeen this year. He is young. His birthday is in May, his birthday is seventeen years old, and his marriage is not young."

This matter was told to He Gong, and He Gong said, "Why would you rather set the marriage after A Lie's autumn examination? This year, A Lie will study hard."

Shen looked at her husband, "A Lie is only seventeen after all, and this autumn exam is the first year. It will be better if she can win. If she can't win, wouldn't it be disappointing?"

He Gong smiled and said, "What's wrong? Governor Yu is attracted to our family's character. A Lie is still young, so it's normal for him to win. I'll just give it a try this year."

"My mother also said good year."

He Gong stopped insisting and smiled, "Then let's do it for the first half of the year."

Shen smiled, "This has to be discussed with the in-laws. It depends on what the in-laws mean. Let's vote for the auspicious day, it depends on which one the in-laws choose."

He Gong nodded, "That's what it means."

For auspicious days, the best day for Shen's grandmother He went to the most famous temple in Beichang Prefecture to invite auspicious days. This year is also awesome. The best day is April. In addition to April, if you choose another auspicious day, you will have to choose next year.

Mrs. He said to the monk, "Since that's the case, let's help us dig a few on the auspicious day next year." He has never been able to vote for one of the auspicious days, so he has to vote for a few more for the in-laws to choose.

When I went home on the auspicious day, I turned on a good day from the calendar and sent it to the Yu family.

Mrs. Yu was also worried about this auspicious day, so she discussed with Governor Yu, "It's a bit like this in April, and the girl still has a dowry but hasn't been sent."

Governor Yu said, "Then choose another one."

Mrs. Yu said, "The big girl is only sixteen this year, so she is a little younger. Next year, the big girl will be seventeen next year. I heard that my grandson-in-law wants to try the autumn exam this year. It's distracting to be busy with marriages. Let him concentrate on studying."

Governor Yu agreed.

The He family didn't say anything about the day of March next year. After all, it was indeed a bit anxious to hold a marriage in April this year. Seeing that my mother was not very happy, He Gong said, "Miss Yu is one year younger than A Lie. Our Zi Jin, a relative who was only eighteen years old, is in love with her. The in-laws are willing to stay for two more years."

Shen smiled, "Yes, I said Miss Yu's dowry has not been shipped yet."

It’s impossible for Mrs. He to be unhappy. It’s the man’s business that he always votes for auspicious days, but the woman’s right to marry him. Seeing that his grandson could not get married for a while, Mrs. He simply planned to live in Shahe County for some time. Her reason was quite good, “I’ll go and buy some red ginseng to replenish her grandson’s wife.”

Shen smiled, "The old lady wants to go, but it's not outside. There are many children in Zijin, so you can't be there."

"Isn't that true!" Old lady He smiled and patted her daughter-in-law's hand and said, "You should just look at the family matters first. If there is anything you can't do, just let someone send me a letter."

"become."

Mrs. He was going to Shahe County, but there was no suitable person to send him. If A Lie went alone, He Gong was a little worried. So, He Gong thought that the yamen was not busy, so he asked for a few days off to send his mother over. Shen thought for a while and said, "A Nian and they have been in Shahe County for several years, and we have never been there. Why not ask Brother Jun to have a few days off in school and call A Lie, and I will follow him, let's go and have a look together."

He Gong laughed, "Okay."

He Gong was originally trying to take a leave. After hearing this, the academician laughed and said, "I was thinking about choosing a few counties to see how the county school is. This year, the scholar exam was conducted to inspect the culture and education of each county. So Lao Jingqian went to Shahe County to take a look. Jie Shi came back and wrote me a county school analysis document for me." Jingqian, He Gong's word "He Gong".

He Gong hurriedly thanked Master Xuezheng, and Master Xuezheng laughed, "We are not outsiders." The two of them had a good relationship, but He Gong was gentle in character. Now he has got married to the governor. For a small matter, Master Xuezheng will naturally give He Gong convenience.

He Gong thanked the scholar-official master, thinking that he could live in his daughter's house for more than a while.
