Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Two: Qing Hongqi Returns to Anlu
Full text without ads Chapter 122 Qinghong rises and returns to Anlu (bow down and ask for monthly tickets)
(After another day, I returned to third place in monthly votes, but I am still holding on to fourth place. It’s crazy.)
Lu Bing was just joking casually. We were all about the same age and there were differences in dignity. How could the prince accept a disciple?
The prince looked at Lu Bing and said, "I don't want to talk about it here, Erlang. If you keep messing around, I will accept you as my apprentice. Ignore the others for now, and the flesh and blood will be cut off first."
Lu Bing wailed and said: "My good lord, please bypass me. If this is the case, I will not be able to survive."
Seeing him playing tricks, the prince's depression was relieved a lot, and he asked Lu Bingdao: "Has the wet nurse made braised eggs these days?"
Lu Bing nodded and said: "This is His Highness's favorite food. In which month will my mother not make it three or two times?"
The prince pursed his lips, with a hint of joy on his face.
When the Taoist idiot saw this, he quickly looked away. Is this the prince who has always been mature and prudent? Is he a child begging for food?
He has also met Mrs. Fan many times. Mrs. Fan and the princess are both from the North, and her temperament is also very cheerful. She is not a scheming woman. It seems that she really loves the prince, and that is why the prince values her so much.
Although Chen Chizhong and others in the mansion school were very curious about the prince taking away Dao Chi and Lu Bing that day, seeing that the second primary school student was still going to the school grounds the next day, the prince had no intention of treating him differently, so he gave up inquiring.
In the middle of the month, Dao Chi and the Crown Prince took two days off. They went home first to pick up the sacrifices, and then went to Xishan Temple.
In Xishan Temple, the old pair of servants still looked after the temple, but the temple became increasingly quiet and lifeless.
The Taoist idiot stayed on the mountain for one night and then came down. Before a new abbot moves in, Xishan Temple will remain deserted.
In the hundred and fifty years since the Wang family spread out in Anlu, several monks have been born as monks, most of whom were involved in current politics. Who will be the next Wang family to live in Xishan Temple? It is unknown.
In mid-November, Dao Chi received a handwritten letter from Wang Sanlang, and the matter of Wang Qinghong's departure finally came to a conclusion. He was still from the third rank, Guangxi right to participate in politics.
Officialdom has always been about fatness and thinness. There are two capitals and thirteen provinces. Not to mention the two capitals, among the thirteen provinces, the most important ones are of course Shandong, Shanxi, which are close to the capital, and Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Huguang, which are rich places. And Guangxi
The three provinces of Guizhou and Yunnan have always been avoided by people. They are remote and poor places, where natives and Han people live together. Not only are they difficult and meritorious, but they will be blamed for the slightest discomfort.
A few months after Wang Qinghong came to Beijing, he was found in such a place. This shows that his experience as an official in Nanchang was still tabooed by the court. However, being able to be reinstated was a great blessing among misfortunes. I think the Yang family has contributed a lot. Full text

At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Wang Qinghong and his wife returned to Anlu with their young son.
Since the trip from Beijing to Guangxi passes through Huguang, the time to take office is limited to the end of February next year, so they can rest in Huguang and set off for Xining after the new year.
The people of the Wang clan don't care about whether they are fat or thin. They only know that Wang Qinghong is still from the third grade, which is several grades higher than the Zhizhou master. When he gets to the place, he is also one of the best.
There was a lot of traffic in front of the door of the Twelfth House, and there was an endless stream of visitors. Many old in-laws wanted to put their name in the Twelfth House, and work together with Wang Qinghong to get some free time.
Wang Qinghong smiled in front of others, but felt bitter in his heart. When all the officials and gentry he needed to see were all gone, he excused himself from being tired from the journey and closed the door to thank the guests.
According to the Ming Dynasty official promotion convention, "the full nine-year salary is promoted to two levels". Before Wang Qinghong "raised relatives and became an official", he had only been promoted from the third-level position for only one and a half years. If he went to Guangxi, he would probably spend the remaining seven and a half years there.
Get through it.
If it is a prosperous place or two capitals, you can still find opportunities to perform meritorious service and get promoted with a reduced salary. When he was in his forties, he was promoted to the third rank, and he was promoted through the method of "reduced salary and promotion". Many officials of the same age
, still stuck on the fifth level.
In the wild land of Guangxi, let alone making meritorious deeds and being cautious about one's work, one should be thankful to God if there is no trouble.
He has a father-in-law, an uncle-in-law, and a clan brother in the capital. If he stays in Guangxi for a full year, no one will dare to bully him in the examination. But after seven years, who knows what the court will be like in seven and a half years.
Seven and a half years later, he will be at the age when he realizes his destiny. It would be better if he could get out of Guangxi, but if he gets promoted in the same place, it will be another nine years.
Wang Qinghong's great ambitions have all fallen silent. Now he only hopes that the territory of Guangxi will be more peaceful, and that he will not be caught up in the chaos, otherwise it will be difficult to continue his career.
Gaining Guangxi in the capital was a loss, but when he returned to Anlu, he discovered a big problem, that is, the matter of supporting the Wang Cui family. In the Wang Cui family's seventies, Guangxi was more than two thousand miles away from Anlu, a barbaric land.
, how can you torment the elderly?
It happened that I had no brothers, so I had no room to leave the old lady alone in her hometown.
How can this be good?
If it were other people, they might think of leaving their first wife in their hometown to fulfill their filial piety, but socializing with the female family members in the officialdom is also indispensable. When they arrived in Guangxi, there were also chief envoys and Zuo Shenzhen. He believed that as long as they knew the Yang family's identity, they would be
He, the son-in-law of the Yang family, will also be polite.
Not only Wang Qinghong was thinking about this issue, but Mrs. Wang Cui was also uneasy.
Even though she was in good spirits, she was too old to bear the trouble. Even though she regarded Sanlang as her lifeblood, she did not go to Beijing with her son's family in six months because she was afraid of the pain of traveling on the road.
Not to mention remote places like Guangxi, even if her son went to be an official in the prosperous places of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong, Wang Cui would not want to go with him.
When her son went to Beijing to seek revolt in the name of getting married, Mrs. Wang Cui thought about what would happen to her son after he resurrected. The original idea was to let her son's wife bring her grandson to the post, while she took Saburo with her in Anlu.
Unexpectedly, Sanlang stayed in Beijing and entered the Imperial Academy.
Just for this reason, Mrs. Wang Cui's face dropped for several days when she waited for her son-in-law to marry Taoism. Although she was a housewife, she had been an official's wife for many years. She knew the shortcomings of Guangxi and was reluctant to offend her son. As for her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang Yang,
He doesn't have a good look at all.
Wang Yang was still filial and filial, and she tolerated her mother-in-law's scoldings and difficulties. In the end, Wang Qinghong couldn't stand it and defended his wife.
It was Sanlang himself who requested to be admitted to the Imperial Academy. Because Wang Qinghong had not yet resurrected at that time, he still used the Yang family's admission quota. For this, Wang Yang went to beg his parents, and also collected a lot of good things from the dowry.
To comfort my sister-in-law and younger siblings.
Wang Qinghong felt very guilty towards his wife, so even if he was filial, he could not bear to be wronged by his wife again.
Wang Cui fell down in anger, and her three points of complaining against Wang Yang became seven points. She also thought that Wang Yang's uncle was the chief minister. If she really wanted to promote her son, why would she choose a remote place in a poor country?
In order to create trouble for her daughter-in-law, she made use of Biyun, the eldest maid next to her, to become Wang Qinghong's aunt.
Mrs. Wang Yang was still neither angry nor angry, and calmly ordered people to tidy up Biyun's house. Wang Qinghong, on the other hand, did not want his wife to feel uncomfortable and refused to promote Biyun as his aunt, so he ordered her to follow the example of marrying each other.
Mrs. Wang Cui only thought it was Mrs. Wang Yang who instigated her, and the seven points of complaint in her heart became ten points. Finally, she couldn't help but mention her own pension issue to her son: "Son, I'm old, who knows if I can still live?"
After a few years, I really don’t want to leave my hometown, so I won’t take up the post with you this time. Let your wife stay with me and fulfill her filial piety. You take Biyun and Shishu to take the post. If you are lucky enough to add a boy and a half girl, she will also be my ancestor.
blessing."
Shishu is another concubine of Wang Qinghong. She was originally a maid who served pen and ink in the study. She was promoted to Wang Qinghong during the cold war with Wang Yang's couple the year before last. She is beautiful and gentle, and has won Wang Qinghong's favor in the past two years.
After hearing this, Wang Qinghong was silent. What's the point of taking office without a wife and maids and concubines? In the eyes of his colleagues, he might be regarded as a lecher. In addition, if Wang Yang is not going with him, who will entertain him?
The chief envoy and his family members?
Mrs. Wang Cui originally didn't really want to keep her daughter-in-law, she just wanted to toss her daughter-in-law, but when she saw her son's reaction, she was not as filial as before, but was silent, obviously she didn't agree with her idea.
.
Mrs. Wang Cui was really angry and said with a straight face: "Hong'er didn't say anything. Could it be that he has other plans?"
Wang Qinghong only felt a headache. As long as there was a solution to both problems, he would not stay here for a long time.
He said sarcastically: "We didn't set off until fifteen years later. It's too early to say it now."
Mrs. Wang Cui was disheartened, waved her hands and said: "Go out, you can arrange it as you like, I won't move anywhere, old lady. If you really feel sorry for me, take Sanlang back. Sanlang is talented and smart, but the old lady doesn't believe it and won't lend it to you."
He won’t be able to succeed in the Yang family’s favor!”
Wang Qinghong came out of Wang Cui's room and frowned in thought.
When Sanlang mentioned that he wanted to enter the Imperial Academy, he really didn't think about Wang Cui's support. In the final analysis, he was originally unsure about the matter. Jiangxi officialdom has been purged several times this year. Although he withdrew.
Yes, I have been an official in Jiangxi for more than ten years.
According to what my mother said, she was going to work abroad and she couldn't make the trip, so it made sense for her to leave her eldest son to fulfill his filial piety in his hometown.
It's just that Sanlang's quota in prison was originally given to the Yang family's favor and was divided from the Yang family's nephew. Now it's not even three months and he wants to leave prison, fearing that the Yang family will not look good.
But you can't go to office without your wife, right? Those concubines share the same room and their red sleeves are fragrant. How can they take care of the inner house and entertain the official family for themselves?
I really had no choice but to feel sorry for the Yang family, and I couldn't ignore my mother.
Back in the main room, Wang Qinghong mentioned the matter to his wife. He was afraid that his wife would stop Sanlang from leaving prison, so he first told Wang Cui that he wanted to keep her in Anlu.
Wang Yang's face did not show any sign of urgency, but said: "What the old lady said makes sense. I am a daughter-in-law. If I don't serve the old lady, who will serve the old lady?"
Seeing that his wife wanted to stay in Anlu according to the old lady's wishes, Wang Qinghong hurriedly said: "Then what should I do? Who knows how many years it will take to go to Nanning. Seven or eight years are common, and the official residence needs my wife to take care of it."
When Wang Yang heard this, why did she say: "The master is right, but what about the old lady?"
Wang Qinghong said: "Let Sanlang come back. He is the eldest grandson. He should fulfill his filial piety in front of the old lady for me."
Wang Yang was startled when he heard this, then lowered his head. He raised his head after a while and said quietly: "Sanlang is only thirteen, and he is still a child. How can he take care of the old lady? It's better for me to stay at home. The old lady is seventy-two this year, and there are many
Things should be prepared in advance.”
Wang Qinghong frowned and said: "Then what should I do? Bring two maids and concubines to the office, and make people laugh at me behind my back for being lustful and immoral..."
