Jiangnan, which spans March, is the most beautiful time of the year.
After a burst of light rain, a vibrant green was already appearing everywhere. The farmers in the fields were busy serving the crops in the fields, and the businessmen in the shops were all rushing to make a decision and receiving guests diligently.
The young master Guijie was having fun in spring, and the scholars and scholars squeezed the pavilions and towers everywhere. The light boats on the Qinhuai River removed the thick cotton curtains in winter, as if even the women leaning against the window were more pretty, while pedestrians on the road changed one after another.
The spring shirt on it seemed to be alive after a winter of bleakness.
Emperor Hongzhi's death was already last year. From this year on, it was the first year of Zhengde, and everything entered a new node. Compared with the war news coming from time to time in the north, Jiangnan could hardly feel the disturbance of the iron hooves.
However, the plan for the year is that spring is the opportunity that makes some people feel excited. Although the Beijing Inspection of the Ministry of Personnel has ended, the newly released Spring Inspection of the Minister of Personnel Ma Wensheng has forced people to face it with caution.
The people in the upper class are concerned about another thing.
The Xu family’s father and son are coming back!
The Yingtian Prefecture Office on Fudong Street has now changed its master. The Yingtian Prefecture Order Wu Xiong, who is fair and upright, has passed away. The Yingtian Prefecture Order Lu Heng, is transferred from the position of the Left Government Administrator of Guangdong.
The envoy was from the second rank, and the prefect of Yingtian was the third rank, but everyone knew that the responsibilities of the two capitals were rare. Nanjing seemed to be idle, but if there was really a chance, it would be easier to be converted to a six-department official than the governor.
Therefore, Lu Heng was naturally very happy to take office in Nanjing. However, he took office in November of the 17th year of Hongzhi. It has been almost a year and a half now. He has not had any movement when he returns to the capital. However, he has been impeached for a while, and he is depressed.
.
He said that when he was serving as the governor of Guangdong, he used his wealth and goods to transfer from Guangdong to Nanjing... It was also a skill to manage the whole country. Who would try to manage the whole country?
So, at first, he heard that Xu Liang and Xu Xun returned to Nanjing. He didn't care much, but the few confidants who were promoted gradually reported that it was Fu Rongzheng who ordered someone to repair his own courtyard and plan to live in the Xu family and son, and guard Nanjing.
Duke Xu of Wei took the initiative to send a complete set of good Shanmu family and various ornaments toys. Chen Lu, the commander of the Jinyiwei of Nanjing Jinyiwei, ordered people to inquire where the Xu family's father and son were shipped every day, and he was moved by it.
On this day, he ordered someone to invite Xu Tiao, who had never cared about the experience of the experience, and he asked with a smile: "I heard that Pingbei Bo was a man.
Have you ever had a relationship with Xu?"
Wu Xiong died of illness, and Xu Tiao lost a boss who admired him in Yingtian Prefecture, and he couldn't help but feel a little silent. However, with Xu Xun as he was in the capital, he not only gained a firm foothold, but also produced two counts in his family.
Xu Tiao, who had originally just met with the Duke of Wei, received a lot of care from Xu. He had more favors during festivals than he did at the beginning. At least in the past, he had always given the gifts to others and never expected any return gifts.
Now the return gift from the Duke of Wei’s Mansion is richer than what he sent. Not only that, even the eunuch of Nanjing garrison Fu Rong was also kind to him.
However, Xu finally knew how difficult it was to overcome the level of civil servants not being able to reach the seventh rank. Not only did he not show off these things, but he also ordered that the subordinates not be allowed to take these things outside and be silly outside, and only worked diligently to do their own duties.
Even so, for two consecutive years, the boudoir gifts brought by the capital still made him happy.
At this moment, when Lu Heng asked, Xu Tiao couldn't help but cheer up, but he hunched carefully and said, "Reporting to the Lord, when Pingbei Bo had not yet recognized his ancestors and returned to his hometown, he called Xiaguan "Uncle Six", but now
The officials dare not catch up with relatives."...
"Hey, what's this a random visit to relatives? I heard that Pingbei Bo would give you gifts during festivals. If you didn't think you were an elder, how could you be so kind?" Lu Heng said with a smile. Without waiting for Xu Tiaosou
Qing Dynasty, he said considerately, "This time he was ordered to come to Nanjing. In addition to his family's affairs, he was also for the completion of the tribute courtyard. In this way, I will give you ten days and half a month off, and you can accompany him to transfer more.
Transfer. You have also participated in the accounts of the tribute school, so that he can see where the money is spent."
After hearing what Lu Heng said, Xu Tiao didn't know that the Yingtian Prefecture Prefecture was trying to show his favor, so he naturally didn't dare to refuse and agreed repeatedly. He sat with Lu Heng for a long time and carefully dealt with the other party's endless succession.
After exploring the inquiry, he finally let out a sigh of relief after going back to the small side hall where the department belonged. Thinking of the brand new tribute court, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Thinking about Xu Xun donated all the land left by his father to the tribute courtyard and brought Xu Duke of Wei to the court. It was inevitable that Xu Yan would pluck his hair. However, afterwards, many interests were entangled, and Xu Xun rose to the sky again, and this money was
However, it was actually used on the tribute court, which was often done by raising money completely, and was perfect for the first time.
It is said that Hedong and 20 years have passed since Hexi. Now it has only been two years. The Xu family's house in Taipingli has completely failed. The slut whom no one looked down upon at the time has risen to a point where others can't imagine it!
Although Xu Tiao still occupied one of the Yingtianfu official halls, his family had moved to the three-entry yard of Xu Xun. He didn't go back every day, but he met Lu Heng that day. When the yamen was dispersed in the evening,
But he took the bus back home. After absent-mindedly taking the homework for his two sons, he called the butler Zhu Sihai.
"Do you know where the villa prepared by Eunuch Fu and Duke Wei?"
"It's at the Pearl Bridge on the Pearl River. I'll take a look." Zhu Sihai expected Xu Tiao to ask about this and went to inquire about it quietly. At this moment, he answered it very well, "There is not far from the Imperial College, I'll be at Fu.
The father-in-law's garrison eunuch's mansion is not far away, but it is farther away from the Taipingli area of the government office, but it is better to be clean and repaired frequently, so this time it was arranged without much effort."
It took less time? Fu Rong's health was already worse than before. Chen Lu almost threw himself there to design and clean up, and Xu also joined in the fun. Isn't it taking any effort?
Xu Tiao's lips curled slightly, but he didn't break through this layer. After all, he was not as good as saying this to Zhu Sihai. After asking a few more questions, he sent someone down, but he held his chin to think.
This time, Xu Xun finally returned to Nanjing. Did he think of a way to let his eldest son Xu Shao go to the capital to experience it? It should be noted that Xu Shao is only one year older than Xu Xun and became a relative before the exam.
But in Nanzhili, where talents are full of talents, no one can tell how long it takes to go from a scholar to a juren, let alone the carp jumped to the dragon gate and passed the imperial examination. The youngest son Xu Bo has some talent in reading articles.
After entering the school for a few years, he memorized the Four Books and Five Classics. You might as well find a gentleman. However, Xu Bo was too reckless by nature and kept his temper. Even if he was talented, he would not be able to do it.
Although he has not become the patriarch, he is the strongest group of the Xu clan. But if his descendants are not successful, not to mention that he is just a mere experience now, even if he becomes the prefect of Yingtian, it will be useless!
He was so confused that he was confused. He didn't know how long it took, but suddenly a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside. The next moment, Zhu Sihai rushed in without notice. Before he could scold him, Zhu Sihai took a quick step
He ran forward and whispered almost immediately to him: "Master, Master Seventh Master... No, no, it's Pingbei Bo who came!"...
Zhu Sihai instinctively took out his former title and immediately changed it in a hurry. However, Xu Tiao did not notice this grammatical problem at all and stayed there. He was also concerned about this matter, and he only had to do it with Chen two days ago.
Lu found out the news and learned that the ship had just arrived in Huai'an. In just a few days, why did he suddenly arrive in Nanjing and come directly to him? After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't care about it anymore.
Zi stood up and was about to rush out, but he ate Zhu Sihai and stopped him.
"Master, Pingbei Bo only brought Tao Hong. He had just ordered that he didn't want to be too shocked, so the young man only told the man that he was a distant nephew, and he dared to take the man to the study room and wait..."
"Okay, you've done this well!"
Xu Tiao suddenly woke up, nodded heavily at Zhu Sihai, and immediately followed him out quickly. When he arrived at the study room in the middle that entered the west wing of the yard, he saw that Mao Ying, who was now his book boy, was guarding the door at the door.
I took a deep breath, but did not just go in, but quietly opened the curtain a crack.
Through layers of books filled with various colors of books, he instinctively skipped Tao Hong, who was standing beside him, and vaguely saw the young man sitting on a chair with a leisurely face. After two years, he could still see it back then.
A little childishness was completely gone, and instead it was a deep feeling that was difficult to see through at first sight. He didn't pay attention to Mao Ying's expression because of his actions. He sorted out his clothes and made some sounds intentionally.
Immediately I opened the curtain and went in
"I just heard that my uncle's official ship passed Huaian, and I don't want to arrive in Nanjing so soon!"
When Xu Xun saw Xu Tiao enter the door, he quickly stepped up and raised his hand to bow. He immediately stood up and helped him quickly, but he smiled and said, "Uncle Six and I do this. Do you want to destroy me? Daddy
I was young and got off the boat early and rushed over, just in time before the city gate closed today. I rushed into the city. I was so hungry that I was hungry, so I thought about getting to Uncle Six.
Have a supper.”
Xu Xun was so close to her and her tone showed that her first stop after entering the city was hers. Xu Tiao felt flattered and hurriedly agreed, and went out to give in person to Mao Ying.
When he turned around, he sat in the main seat under Xu Xun's repeated requests. After carefully speaking for a while, he heard something he unexpectedly said.
"Did Uncle Six think about making the Xu family in Taiping a truly famous family?"
