Chapter 621 The eldest princess of Jinyang: Wouldn’t it be better to have Xianning without her?
Henan government office
Jia Heng reminded Fu Shi a few words, then waved his hand to let him go back first.
Looking at the young man in python suit with a handsome face and a calm demeanor, Fu Shi hesitated and wanted to talk about his sister, but then he thought about it, it was a bit presumptuous and abrupt at this moment, so he said goodbye and planned to leave.
Wait until evening to visit the Governor's residence.
Jia Heng was handling official duties in the official office of Henan Prefecture. He first looked through the personnel information of relevant officials of Henan Prefecture and glanced at the name of the magistrate of Xin'an County.
He couldn't help but think of the list sent by Jinyang this morning. Among them were the magistrate of Xin'an County and the magistrate of Song County. Early in the morning, he ordered Liu Jixian to check the local official reputation and political achievements of the people on the list.
Jia Heng thought for a while, put down the books in his hands, and ordered to the clerk: "Bring over the money and grain books and criminal case files sent by Xin'an and Song counties. I want to check them now."
The scribe hurriedly agreed, and soon he led several people carrying a box into the official hall.
Jia Heng glanced at the wooden box.
The scribe observed the words and explained with a smile: "Sir, all the books for three years are here."
Jia Heng nodded without saying much. He ordered the scribe to deliver last year's money and grain book and began to read through it. He read and wrote at the same time. Thanks to his two generations of experience, he had an excellent memory and quickly listed the data on the paper.
I flipped through several books in succession, gaining some understanding of the civil affairs situation in Yong'an County, and then picked up the criminal case files to read through.
In such a large county, there are actually only a few murder cases a year. When looking at these cases, the main factor is the judgment level of the two county magistrates. The so-called large and small prisons, although they cannot be investigated, must be based on emotion. This is generally a good official.
Then, we focused on checking the money, grain and population records of the two counties. In recent years, due to natural disasters, the household registrations in the two counties have been lost. This is due to the general environment.
Just flipping through various books like this, time passed, and at noon in the afternoon, he ordered the guards of the Jinyi Mansion to return to the Jia Mansion in Delibang.
When I arrived at the flower hall in the backyard, I saw Princess Xianning sitting alone on a chair, reading a book in her hand.
Jia Heng asked naturally: "When did you come back?" Princess Xianning smiled softly and said: "Just now, I accompanied Sister Yuanchun and Tanchun around the manor in the morning. I saw Mr. sending someone.
Come on, I can’t make it through today. I just think about my husband being alone at home."
In fact, she didn't want to rub her shoulders and beat her legs with her aunt over there, let alone play with her husband when she came back.
Jia Heng came closer, took Princess Xianning's delicate hand, and said softly: "There may be some official business in the evening."
Except for the two of them who didn't make it to the last step, they usually slept in the same bed.
"I will accompany you, sir." Princess Xianning nodded her head and said softly.
People say that when Hongxiu Tianxiang reads at night, the husband is busy with his, and she plays with hers. As long as the husband is tormented too much, he will not look for that person.
Seeing that the girl had a quiet look on her face, her bright eyes were gloomy under her beautiful eyebrows, and she was holding a teacup in her hand and sipping tea, Jia Heng was silent for a moment and asked, "What's wrong? You look depressed?"
"No." Princess Xianning's bright eyes flashed and she pursed her lips.
Jia Heng took Princess Xianning's shoulder and sighed, "When Zhi'er is troubled, her tear mole can no longer be seen."
As he spoke, he gently rubbed the mole at the corner of Princess Xianning's eyes with his thumb and spoke softly.
Princess Xianning's heart trembled, her bright eyes were filled with mist, and her heart was filled with sweetness. Jia Heng looked at Princess Xianning, whose eyes were shining brightly, and said, "I'll go over there later."
Princess Xianning: "???"
She frowned and asked, "Sir, don't you want to work in the office?"
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said, "I have some official matters to discuss with your aunt."
If you mine gold in Song County, you have to do it without the Ministry of Internal Affairs, otherwise it will be a wedding dress for the Ministry of Household Affairs. And from the perspective of future generations, the gold mine in Song County has a reserve of 30 tons, will it attract the Qi Party's eagerness to move?
?
"Oh." Princess Xianning said softly, her eyes
The light is dull and the mood is not high.
"I'll just come back in the evening." Jia Heng said softly. It's impossible for him to stay in Jinyang Princess Mansion all the time. Last night was because Yuanchun and Tanchun, Xiangyun just came, and he could still stay here because of his family.
One night.
Princess Xianning's bright eyes flashed, and her mood became brighter again.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand through the lotus green gauze skirt and gently stroked the slender straight hair. He had been instructing the seamstress to work on the socks for the past two days. He thought they would be ready soon.
He quickly suppressed the weird thoughts in his heart, thought about it, and whispered: "Xianning, you can't act like you did yesterday."
Well, the tone is somewhat insincere.
Princess Xianning's jade cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were as bright as water, and she said in a trembling voice: "Sir, where did I mess up?" She was also aggrieved yesterday, so she
"Sir, you didn't seem to be very repellent yesterday, did you?" Princess Xianning said, staring closely at the serious boy, and asked in a subtle way.
Jia Heng: ".."
Of course he was very repulsive in his heart, but he was not repulsive there.
Jia Heng hugged Xianning and asked, "You were like that yesterday. Did you feel wronged?"
When the two met before, he was embarrassed to ask questions.
"No, she is the elder after all." Princess Xianning whispered. Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said, "I can't help her a lot."
When Princess Xianning heard this, her delicate body trembled, her clear eyes condensed, and she didn't know what to feel in her mind. "Xianning, it has not been easy for her these years, pulling Chanyue to grow up." Jia Heng said with a sigh.
It was hard to say too much about some things, and he was speechless in front of the two of them. After he said too much, the two of them stopped their civil war and unanimously spoke to the outside world.
"I know." Princess Xianning said softly, her fair and snow-like face was slightly pale, and bursts of sadness surged deep in her heart.
She understood the truth, but she still felt a little sore in her heart.
After all, in the deepest part of Mr.'s heart, that person is still more important than her. However, one day.
"Okay, don't feel wronged." Jia Heng's hand wrapped around Xian Ning's waist and he gently held the girl down. He put the girl in his arms and leaned close to the peach blossom lips to grab the sweetness.
Princess Xianning said "嘘四", and for a while she was immersed in Jia Heng's gentle offensive. After a while, she looked at the young man opposite her with an angry look.
The gentleman couldn't say that he had kissed that person just yesterday and now he was kissing her again. After a while, the two of them got tired of each other.
Jia Heng said, "Okay, let's go inside to take a shower and change clothes." As he spoke, he took Xian Ning's hand and walked toward the inner room.
Princess Xianning's cheeks, as beautiful as snow, were as red as blood. She gently lowered her head and let Jia Heng hold her.
Having already ordered people to prepare hot water, Jia Heng and Princess Xianning took a bath in the bathtub, then put on light clothes, and had some lovemaking, each getting what they needed.
Then, the two of them took a carriage to the Princess's Mansion in Jinyang.
On the carriage, the bright and dark lights in the carriage shine through the bamboo curtains, reflecting the beautiful face of the girl in the carriage, soft and quiet. Princess Xianning seemed to still be immersed in the trembling aftertaste just now, and took a peek at the young man.
Princess Xianning's face was rosy and she said in a low voice: "Sir, after dinner at my aunt's place, do you still want to tell us stories?"
Jia Heng put his arm around Xian Ning's shoulders and whispered, "Let's talk about it later." After pondering for a moment, he noticed something strange underneath him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Princess Xianning blinked her bright eyes and murmured: "Sir, were you feeling a little uncomfortable just now?" Jia Heng coughed lightly, looked around and said, "It's okay.
The main reason why Xianning almost stopped taking the right path before was because the chaotic nature of Xianning seemed to be getting stronger. Before, he suddenly imitated the eldest princess of Jinyang in speaking. Who could withstand this?
"Ziyu, a little above, Ziyu"
I'm afraid that one day he will imitate Empress Song's words. Well, what is he thinking about? Sure enough, drinking too much of something can damage the mind, regardless of gender.
Princess Xianning said softly: "I am also worried that it will be bad for my husband's reputation after returning to Beijing." Jia Heng said: "It's better to wait a little longer."
Unless he achieved a great victory in the war against the captives, the world would have no objections. But it was a different world at that time, and now there are actually some minor quarrels.
When Jia Heng and Princess Xianning entered the residence of the eldest princess of Jinyang, the eldest princess of Jinyang was sitting in the flower hall on the first floor of the attic. She and Yuan Chun were checking the account books of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When they saw the two people, they smiled and asked: "Why?
Come here at this time?"
He secretly thought, if you don't seize the time to spend time together, what are you doing here? Doesn't Xianning feel it's not enough without her by his side?
Thinking of this, the eldest princess of Jinyang frowned, and a dark color flashed in her phoenix eyes. Facing the gazes of Yuanchun and Jinyang, Jia Heng said warmly: "Let's discuss business."
Let's not talk about the business now. Yuanchun and Jinyang probably thought that he was suffering from thirst. The eldest princess of Jinyang was surprised and said, "What business?"
Jia Heng told about the rich gold mines underground in Song County, and said softly: "Tomorrow, we will ask the craftsmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the guards from the Jinyi Palace to go to Song County to explore."
Princess Jinyang's bright eyes sparkled under her beautiful eyebrows, and she asked, "How did you know?" This whim, saying that there was a gold mine somewhere, was really surprising.
Jia Heng said: "In the past few days, I have been reading the county annals and maps of Song County, and I have inferred from some clues that there are two dates for jujube and no jujube."
This kind of thing can only happen like this.
"Okay, then I will instruct the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take a look. If many gold mines are found, it will be an extra income for the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Princess Jinyang said softly, dubious.
Immediately he glanced at Xianning and saw that his eyebrows were springy and his cheeks were dizzy. His heart moved slightly and he thought to himself, these two people are really ignorant and are having sex before they get married, right?
When I took a closer look, I found that there was still a difference, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
Also, if Bi Gua breaks through for the first time, Xian Ning is probably not good at walking, and it is impossible to follow him here now.
The eldest princess of Jinyang thought about the reason and did not ask, but said: "Yuan Chun, go call Chan Yue, Tan Chun and Xiang Yun to come over and have dinner together later."
Yes, he is full of blood. Now that she has been inconvenient for the past two days, she should ask Yuan Chun to accompany her home later. Otherwise, if he breaks through the last level with Xianning and spreads to the palace in the future, it will be quite uncomfortable.
nice.
Of course, there are other ways to cover it up.
Jia Heng said: "I met the two magistrates of Xin'an County and Song County before. I don't know how their official reputation is, but they are quite satisfactory."
Princess Jinyang smiled and said, "You can make up your mind on these matters." Jia Heng nodded and did not continue to mention the matter.
On the other side, I heard that Jia Heng was coming, and Li Chanyue, Tan Chun, and Xiang Yun all came over to listen to Jia Heng's story.
Not to mention how Jia Heng had dinner and told stories at the eldest princess's house in Jinyang.
The conversation was divided into two parts, but Fu Shi was here. In the inn, his wife was talking to Fu Qiufang in the side room.
Fu Qiufang is dressed in a simple green dress, with willow eyebrows and moon-shaped eyes. She does not use any powder and her face is quite elegant. Her hair is tied up with a blue headdress, and a beaded flower hairpin is pinned between her temples, which further accentuates her quiet and booklike style.
Intense quality.
"Qiu Fang, you are not young anymore. Your brother is in Henan this time and will stay for two or three years. At that time, what kind of family should I marry you?" said Fu Shizhi's wife.
Fu Qiufang's beautiful face was calm and calm, and her voice was crisp and soft as she said: "Marriage is a major matter, the parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, my parents have left early, since I live with my brother and sister-in-law, I naturally listen to my brother and sister-in-law."
I have already guessed the whole story in my mind.
When Fu Shi's wife heard this, she smiled broadly. It was clear that these words had reached her heart, and she said: "I guess you have guessed a little bit of your brother's thoughts. Now, Uncle Heng of Ningguo Mansion is the governor of military affairs in Henan and has made military achievements."
You have been granted the title of earl. At such a young age, you have achieved so much. I am afraid that even the princes will not be able to defeat you in the future. If you give him a side wife, it does not mean that you have wronged your character."
Fu Qiufang bit her lips and lowered her head without saying a word.
At this moment, a nun called outside the door and said: "Madam, Miss, the second master is back." Hearing this, Fu Shi's wife quickly stood up and said with a smile: "You
Brother is back."
Not long after he finished speaking, he saw Fu Shi entering the side room with a happy face. Fu Shi's wife smiled and said, "Sir, what did Uncle Heng say?"
Fu Shi smiled and said: "I made a few remarks and determined that Xinyang Prefecture will be the magistrate. After serving a good term, if there are political achievements, I will be transferred."
When Fu Shi's wife heard this, she beamed with joy and said, "Sir, this is great. We don't have to have a mother-in-law to take care of us. I can be promoted again when I get my first term."
When my husband was serving as the magistrate of Jingzhao Prefecture, he had a harsh official named Jingzhao Prefecture Yin. Now he was the magistrate of a state, and he also had the governor's brother-in-law, who could dominate the local government.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
The joy on Fu Shi's face faded, and he said solemnly: "My husband, I can tell you clearly that being an official in Xinyang is no better than in the capital. If you collect money indiscriminately like this, if someone finds out, I'm afraid Uncle Heng will punish you severely."
He also saw that Uncle Heng was not as good as the second master of Rongguo Mansion, and he had to be very careful when working under him.
"Don't worry, sir, I still want to be a fifth-grade imperial concubine." Fu Shi's wife quickly said with a smile.
He secretly thought, now that Mr. Heng is attached to Mr. Heng, is he afraid that he will be promoted to the third or fourth rank in the future? By then, she will be the third or fourth rank.
Fu Qiufang watched her brother and sister-in-law talking about their promotion, and sighed quietly in her heart.
At this time, Fu Shi also sat down on the embroidered pier beside him and said with a chuckle: "Qiu Fang, I think your sister-in-law has told you that you are not young anymore, so I want to find a good friend for you."
Destination, but after thinking about it over and over again, a good destination is far away in the horizon, but close at hand, that is Uncle Heng of Dongfu."
It would be much better to be a concubine to a prince or a county king, but now that I think about it, it may not be better than marrying Uncle Heng, who has been knighted as Yongning Bo.
Prince, although the county prince is said to be noble, in reality it may not be helpful to his career, and it is far inferior to Uncle Heng of Ningguo Mansion.
Fu Qiufang narrowed her eyes, and there was a hint of thought in her quiet and soft eyebrows. Her voice was calm, as if she was narrating someone else's affairs, and she said: "Although these wealthy families enjoy great wealth, the risks they have to take are too high.
It's very incomparable. My brother is like this now, but he thought about it."
Fu Shi's wife smiled and said: "There is no one in this world who doesn't take risks. I see that Mr. Heng is getting bigger and bigger."
Fu Shi also twirled his beard with his hand. Although he didn't say a word, his decision was made.
"Since my brother and sister-in-law said so, I can only make the decision." Fu Qiufang said softly.
She had also met Mr. Heng twice. Anyway, according to her brother's wishes, he was probably working as a side chamber for some high-ranking official.
Fu pilot nodded and said: "This matter cannot be rushed yet, it still needs some planning. I see that Uncle Heng is not easy to get along with, so we will discuss it in the long run."
He was afraid that if he was shy and sent his sister there, and if they didn't agree, he would lose face, and it would also easily damage the good foundation he had finally built.
You need to find a good opportunity.
"The master said that he wanted to go to Xinyang to be the governor of the state, and Qiu Fang entrusted him to it." Fu Shi's wife rolled her eyes and came up with an idea.
Fu Shi shook his head and said, "This excuse is somewhat untenable." He went to be the magistrate, so he entrusted his sister.
Fu Qiufang's face was pale, and her soft and gentle eyebrows showed her thoughts. She took over the conversation and said: "Brother, if you don't agree with me after arriving in Luoyang, the doctor said that I need to rest and rest, and I can't make the journey. Brother has to rush to Xinyang Prefecture again."
When I take office, considering my brother’s connection with Rongguofu, it’s only natural to entrust him to me.”
Fu Shi's eyes lit up when he heard this and said: "My sister is still very smart, this method is good."
His sister has seen people since she was a child, and is even above him. When she gets to the side of Uncle Heng, she can't be sent to him again.
After Fu Qiufang finished speaking, she ignored her brother and said softly: "Brother and sister-in-law are talking first, and I will go back to the room to rest first."
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the summer of the 15th year of Chongping has entered May, and the weather has become completely warm.
Get up, the weather is hot, and the Dragon Boat Festival will be here in a few days.
During these ten days, Jia Heng was stationed in Luoyang City, supervising the "big plans" of Henan Province, and met with relevant officials from Henan Prefecture one after another. At the same time, Nanyang Prefecture, Weihui Prefecture, Zhangde Prefecture, etc.
High-ranking officials from the government and other places also came to seek an audience with Jia Heng.
Jia Heng also sent Jinyi Palace Guards and some craftsmen from the Luoyang House of Internal Affairs to follow the memories of past lives and go to the counties around Luoyang to survey gold and coal mines.
