353. The forty-one trip to Beichang

Chapter 353

Although A Nian was an official in the county, He Gong was an official in the mansion. Shen said that being an official in the mansion was not as comfortable as A Nian's county magistrate. Looking at the county government where her daughter and son-in-law live, there are also sixty or seventy rooms in the inner house, and several small courtyards, and a large garden. My daughter said that this is the garden of the inner house, and there is also a large garden in the front office.

Shen thought, even if her mother-in-law is fine, she is willing to come to live here for her daughter. If she has free time like her mother-in-law, she is willing to come too.

Mrs. Shen talked to her husband at night, "In the future, my daughter-in-law will not ask for a good life, but like our Zijin."

He Gong was funny when he heard this and said, "You don't want to know how to live a life." Is his daughter's ability to live a life of one level? He Gong said, "Miss Yu is still young, as long as she is wise, she can learn how to live a life slowly. When Zi Jin first got married, she lived together for several years."

Shen smiled, "That's the same."

Shen said again that she invited Miss Yu to Shahe County and asked Dr. Dou to help me with the treatment and conditioning of her body. Shen said, "I am anxious to buy some medicinal materials to replenish Miss Yu's body. It's the right thing my daughter said. Doctor Dou is knowledgeable. If she can help Miss Yu to condition her body and to condition her body bones, it will be a blessing for Miss Yu."

He Gong nodded, "That's the reason." The daughter-in-law who had not passed the family was always sick, and she also made her in-laws worried.

Seeing that his daughter and son-in-law were living a good life, He Gong also felt relieved and went to the county school with A Nian to take a look. A Nian introduced to his father-in-law the Cuju venue in the county school, as well as the classrooms for elementary school students, accommodation dormitories, dining canteens, as well as the courses of some elementary school students, and the rules of county school.

He Gong laughed, "Although the progress is not obvious, the number of scholars in Shahe County is gradually increasing year by year. Especially in recent years, there are more young scholars."

A Nian said, "With a heavy reward, you will definitely learn. In fact, there is no improvement. Basically, you have brought the rules of our Bishui County. As long as you study well and take good exams, you will be rewarded. Furthermore, those who are active in each village can also come to the school to study for two months for free, so that the people can learn some words, which is also beneficial."

He Gong sighed, "Yes, you must never forget to open up people's wisdom at any time."

He Zijin talked about family matters with Mrs. He Shen. For example, the roast duck shop of the third girl was about to open. In addition, the third girl He Qi also recruited a group of female disciples to learn embroidery and planned to build an embroidery workshop.

Shen asked, "Can you make an embroidery workshop here?" The third girl, He Qi, replied to Xue Qianzhen, Xue, everyone is good at doing embroidery work. However, the environment in Beichang Mansion is here, and there are not many rich families.

"I was not sure at first." He Zijin said, "It was a coincidence that Sister Aqi had a few good embroidery pieces that were built into the box. She said she didn't know the market in Beichang Mansion, so I asked Mrs. Duan to help consign. Oh my God, I'm going to hide it from you, the price is higher than that of the imperial capital."

Mrs. He was very amazed at Shen, but Mrs. He didn't understand and said, "How can the remote area here be more expensive than the imperial capital?"

He Zijin said, "It was bought by foreign merchants. It was not a silver that was spent, but it was exchanged for gems."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were amazed again, and He Zijin said, "There are simple embroidery in their places, but there are no such exquisite as us. Moreover, large embroidery pieces are even rarer. A few embroidery pieces from Sister Aqi were bought by others within half a month after hanging them."

Shen said, "It is strange that you want to open an embroidery workshop. In this market, it is indeed necessary to open an embroidery workshop."

He Zijin smiled, "There are many men and girls in Beichang Mansion. Men have gone to the army, leaving women at home and farming. Women are not as good as men. But if you want to say embroidery and work, it is very suitable for women. The third sister, Aqi, is currently planning. I think, let A Nian help promote it. If anyone is willing to learn, just come over to apply for an apprentice, and it is also a craft to learn it."

Mrs. He said, "If the embroidery workshop is well managed, it will be a good business. Aunt Li in our county is just a business in the embroidery workshop, and his family is rich."

Shen’s family, He Zijin, all said that it was.

Shen discussed with his daughter whether to open the pickle shop again. Shen said, "When I first came to Beichang Mansion, I didn't know the situation here, so I didn't open it. Now it's all familiar. I want to open it, but your father and A Nian's three-year term will be almost here. If they just opened the shop and they put them away elsewhere, what should we do? It's also troubled. I told your father about this at home. Your father said that the climate in Beichang Mansion is not very good, and everyone else is good. He did a smooth job in the yamen. Your father was thinking about staying in office. What did A Nian think? Have you discussed it?" Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the term is coming.

He Zijin smiled, "I've discussed it, mom, I almost forgot. A Nian also said that since he came to Beichang Prefecture, he would just work here for a few more years. He served every three years, and he couldn't see his ability to be an official, and A Nian also wanted to stay in office." This year, officials have been serving for three years, and there will be a peak assessment and evaluation in these three years. A Nian has taken office. In fact, there is no big move in the policy of benefiting the people. It is nothing more than collecting taxes according to the rules and no fishing people. Then, the prisoners who should be arrested were arrested and a few human traffickers were arrested. Of course, a marriage policy was also issued that was quite crazy in Sister Zijin's opinion. Girls must get married at the age of 18, and have organized a military and civilian blind date... Sister Zijin felt that A Nian did nothing, but she actually had a good reputation in Shahe County.

However, after all, it is obviously unlikely to manage a place well in three years, so A Nian still wants to stay in Shahe County.

Of course, it is not just to stay in office if you want to stay in office. The He family does not have a strong relationship in the officialdom. The reason why the He family is confident of staying in office is mainly because they are an official in Beichang Prefecture. Beichang Prefecture is not a place of abundant wealth. Generally speaking, many families of aristocratic families are unwilling to come to Beichang Prefecture to be officials, and the climate is too harsh. Therefore, as long as you are an official in Beichang Prefecture, it is simply easy to remain in office as long as you are a senior in the assessment.

Seeing that his son-in-law also wanted to stay in his position, Shen said happily, "It can be seen that everyone wants to go there together."

He Zijin smiled and said, "I have lived in Shahe County for a long time and feel that this place is not bad. Although it is not as good as the emperor, even if I live in Beichang Prefecture, I will feel emotional after living for a long time. Besides, we are close to each other. If we transfer it to the outside world, what should we do? It would be better if we do this now, it would be cheaper to get along."

"Yes, yes." Old Madam He interrupted, "It's a bit far away now. If you meet like your aunt for several years, it won't be possible."

As everyone said that, they decided to keep their job.

Since he wanted to stay in office, Shen decided to open a pickle shop. Don’t underestimate the small pickle shop. The shop in his hometown is managed by Shenshan. There were several semicolons, and the income was also very good. Shen planned to open a company in Beichang Prefecture. He Zijin said, "The place in Beichang Prefecture is cold, and there is little time to eat fresh vegetables. I will teach you how to pickle spicy cabbage, it will definitely be easy to sell."

Shen said, "The people here are just like our hometown, they all like to eat spicy food."

"Eating spicy food can also help you get greasy." He Zijin said, "Mom, I'm just looking for a shop for you in the Quotation Market. Don't have to be too big. You can also open a company in the Quotation Market. There are many people in the Quotation Market, so the business will definitely be easy."

Shen laughed, "Okay."

As soon as he got home, he talked about He Han. From He Han Wang and Chen Yuan and He Peipei to Beijing Pass, he had no letters these days. However, if there was no letter, it means that at least he had not left yet. Otherwise, if Chen Yuan and He Peipei returned to their hometown, there would be no reason not to come to the He family again. He Zijin said, "I guess, Brother Ahan's parents will be locked in Beijing."

Shen sighed, "Yes, although the family has an industry, only Ahan, the son, wants to follow his son."

Mrs. He said, "There is only some land at home. It's enough to ask his daughter to take care of the land. It's more important to get to Ahan. It's not easy for Ahan. I've been working alone all these years. If these two people understand, just think that staying and helping Ahan, I can't help with it. At least I can help at home. At least I can help with the family affairs. Just ask Ahan to be dedicated to the future."

Shen agreed and said to He Zijin, "Ajie has planned a small flag at Beijingguan."

He Zijin smiled and said, "I don't know yet, Azhen doesn't know much. How do you know?"

"Ajie asked someone to bring a letter to Alie. Alie said, "Ajie has ten people under him now."

He Zijin was so happy that he smiled and said, "It's a perfect wish. He just wanted to join the army." Xiaoqi said that it was the lowest management in the army, and the management was a bit reluctant. He Han was a hundred households, and his subordinates were in charge of one hundred people. The subordinates were the general flags, one hundred households had two general flags, and one general flag was in charge of fifty people. Under the general flag was the small flag, one general flag, and five small flags under each small flag. Yao Jie did not directly join the army, but also became a small flag, which shows that he was also taking care of him.

"Yes." Shen also smiled, "Ajie also said that he was very excited to serve in Beijing Pass."

Mrs. He said, "Ajie, this child, can be hard-working and will definitely have a future."

He Zijin asked, "Has no one from Ajie's family ever come to find him?"

Shen sighed, "I don't know if he didn't write about where he joined the army in the letter, otherwise his family would have to send a reliable servant to search for it."

Mrs. He was not as gentle as Shen's family, and said, "With stepmother, there will be stepmother. If Ajie has his own mother, do you see if anyone comes to look for him? He is a tricky person like Wang (He Han's mother). If she hadn't been to find Ahan, she would have lived with Bishui County in her life. She had never been to the prefecture of our hometown before. Then she followed Ahan's father to the imperial capital, and then came to Beichang Mansion. This is the real mother. Her mother could go for her children, with swords and fire."

Shen said, "From what my mother said, Ajie may have been so motivated because of his early death."

Mrs. He nodded, "The more such a child is, the more promising it is."

When he talked about the trivial matters of home, He Zijin planned to go back to Shahe County after a quick trip, and he wanted to take his mother to the court for a walk. He also wanted to go there together. So, the grandmother and the grandson and the three of them decided to go there together.

He Gong didn't go. Although He Gong sent his old mother to his daughter's place, he remembered the serious man in his heart. He Gong was mainly concerned about the education in Shahe County and said to Shen happily, "This is not my boast. My son-in-law has run the county school really well."

Shen asked, "Did you go see it again today?"

"No, I haven't finished reading yesterday, I'll go tomorrow." He Gongzilai is a poet and books. He pays great attention to education on weekdays. He said, "Although the houses in the county school are not new, all the ones that should be repaired have been repaired. The house is so bright that it looks bright. In the past, there were only a dozen people in the county school, but now there are four classes."

Shen laughed, "A Nian is so worried about this child," he told her husband about the matter that A Nian wanted to stay in office, "We all want to go together. I heard from the governor's wife that the governor said in private that A Nian was careful and that this year's assessment must be of top quality. Zi Jin said that A Nian also wants to continue to stay in office, and is not in a hurry to be promoted. He said that three years of one term are a bit short, and there is no big achievement in managing the county town, so he wants to stay another term."

He Gong nodded, "That's good. Shahe County has just begun, and it would be a pity if it left Shahe County now."

"I don't understand these things. As long as our family is in the same place, I feel happy." As he said, Shen couldn't help but sigh, "How many years can a child be by his side? Since A Lie's imperial examination, I have been hoping that life will be slower and slower. If the child does not have a scientific examination, he will lose his future. If the scientific examination is completed, he will have to serve as an official from all over the world. If he thinks about it, he will be reluctant to leave it."

"Children are birds, and they will leave their nests when they grow up." He Gong said softly, "Marry and marry people who are suitable for their children, like us, the husband and wife follow each other, and the husband and wife are loving and happy until old age. Their young couple live a good life, even if they are farther away, they can rest assured. Looking at our daughter now, I am happy to see Ah Xi Ye. The two children are really painful. Ah Xi has always advised me to eat vegetables, so how caring it is."

Shen couldn't help laughing, "Zi Jin thought Ah Xi always ate meat but not vegetables, so she would ask her to eat more vegetables. Ah Xi didn't like to eat vegetables, so she advised you to eat more."

He Gong didn't want to have such a reason, and smiled, "He is such a ghost, like Zijin when he was a child."

"A Xi is very interesting. During the Chinese New Year, didn't Brother Xing go home and celebrate the New Year with us? A Xi also received a red envelope for Brother Xing here. I don't know what the child's family thinks, and New Year's money is also collected on behalf of him." Shen smiled, "In the future, A Lie becomes a relative and gives us such a pair of grandchildren. This life will be even more overwhelming."

He Gong thought that his eldest son's marriage was scheduled for next year. He held his wife's hand and smiled, "It's not far away."
