The Cao family came after the Dong family. Although the whole family did not see each other off, Master Cao came, Doctor Cao also came, Cao Cheng and Cao Zhuo both came.
By the way, Cao Zhuo has passed the high school examination and the palace examination, and now he has been selected as a Jinshi.
However, he felt that he was still young and could still train in the Hanlin Academy for two more years, so he had no thoughts of being sent abroad for the time being.
This time I came to see him off, and he came too.
Everyone in the Cao Mansion, Master Cao, and the others held Hanjianglou's hand and gave them many instructions, so they almost packed up their years of service as officials into a book and let Hanjianglou take them away.
Mrs. Cao, on the other hand, has been talking to Dong Nuan: "Settle down over there and have a child as soon as possible. My uncle is a good man. I'm sure he will provoke many more peach blossoms in the future. It's hard for us to refuse some of them. You
After giving birth to a legitimate son, my status is more stable, so I feel relieved..."
Most of what Mrs. Cao said was similar.
After hearing this, Dong Nuan kept nodding her head: "Yes, yes, yes, the aunt is right."
"Yes, yes, what I said makes sense."
"I've been taught, I've been taught..."
…
I have to say that Dong Nuan has learned a lot from Hanjianglou recently.
Perfunctory literature is becoming more and more serious.
Others are also concerned and you can't refute it, so everything you say is right.
Mrs. Cao tried to persuade her for a long time, but she was still sentimental. After wiping her tears for a while, Dong Nuan also tried to persuade her.
After the Dong family and the Cao family, there are these old friends from Dong Nuan and Hanjiang Tower.
Wu Ruoruo, Meng Rong, Miss Wei Liu also came, and Miss Wen also came.
After Mrs. Hou left, Miss Wen became much calmer and stopped trying to bully others.
Dong Nuan heard from Mrs. Cao that after one year of filial piety, the Marquis might marry his step-brother.
The Marquis is not a romantic person, and the reason why he married his stepmother is just for the sake of profit.
However, looking at the second girl Wen and Wen Shuran not far away, Dong Nuan still felt a little sentimental in her heart.
It is impossible for them not to know about this kind of thing. Of course, there are many such situations in the capital, so I guess they will look away.
If you don't look away, there is nothing you can do.
Unless they have a way to persuade their father not to marry again.
Everyone said goodbye for a long time, seeing that it was getting late, and the winter was warm and they had to leave. Otherwise, they might not be able to find a suitable place to stay at the next stop, and they might have to sleep in the wild.
"treasure!"
"The same to you!"
…
With the last words of farewell, Dong Nuan got on the carriage, Han Jianglou led the way on a tall horse, and the team followed behind, walking at a very fast speed.
A group of maids and servants will definitely not follow them directly to Jingxian County, so how long will they have to walk?
Therefore, they also rode in a carriage, but naturally they were not in a tightly packed carriage like Dong Nuan.
It's the kind of bare-floored one that can seat five or six people in one car.
Fortunately, it's May and the temperature is pretty good. The further south you go, the higher the temperature becomes, so you won't feel cold at all.
If it's winter and the weather is warm, you might consider not bringing so many servants.
If you drive normally from Beijing to Jingxian, it will take about twenty days.
Dongnuan and the others walked this way for more than a month and arrived in Jingxian County in early June.
Of course, they were not just playing along this way, but measuring it with their feet.
They recorded the local customs, customs, and people's livelihood and sentiments in various places as much as possible.
Dongnuan likes to record all kinds of daily life, as well as the temperatures in different places.
Hanjiang Tower is about preferences, governance methods and results in various places.
After all, he went to be an official, not to go to every house.
Jingxian County is already poor. If he can't do something about it, he will probably be trapped there like the previous county magistrate for the rest of his life.
It doesn't matter to him, but there is a little girl beside him.
His little wife can't bear this hardship.
Therefore, after various observations and experiences, plus the experience imparted by Mr. Han and Mr. Zhou, as well as Mr. Cao and others, Hanjiang Tower felt that he should be able to pick it up.
In Jingxian County in June, the temperature is already very comfortable.
It's like spring here all year round, and it won't be too hot even in spring and summer.
This is the advantage of this place, and Dongnuan is very optimistic about this advantage!
After entering Yeju, you can feel the differences and changes in the economy due to the warm winter.
Neighboring Lizhou is Hezhou. Comparatively speaking, Hezhou's economy is worse than that of its neighboring state capitals. When you enter the main city of Fuzhou, you will instantly notice the contrast when you look at the prosperity.
However, Lizhou is even more depressed or poor than Hezhou.
This kind of poverty does not need to be described, it can be seen just by looking at it.
The roads in the main city of Hezhou Prefecture have at least been repaired and seem to be smooth.
But the road to the main city of Lizhou’s capital...
It is really uneven. It can be seen that it has been repaired, but it is probably because the materials are not in place or the labor is not in place, so the repair is very perfunctory.
This is still the main city of the state capital.
Looking at this, you can probably imagine how poor Jingxian County is.
Logically speaking, this temperature and this environment shouldn't be the case.
but……
Still the same problem.
transportation.
Things cannot be transported out. It is said that there are many dirt roads in Jingxian County, and many things rely solely on manpower. Once they are transported, I don’t know what they have become.
Therefore, as time went by, everyone just managed to hold on to one-third of an acre of land and make do with it.
Hanjiang Tower arrived at the main city of Lizhou Prefecture and first went to the prefect Xu to report.
Mr. Xu, the prefect of Lizhou, is a brother of Mr. Xu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the capital. Of course, the blood relationship between the two families is far apart, otherwise Mr. Xu would not be stuck here as the prefect.
However, when he came to Lizhou this time, the other party became the immediate boss of Hanjiang Tower. After learning about it, Mr. Xu from the capital even wrote a letter in advance to communicate with this brother of the same clan.
The other party probably already knows about the situation in Hanjiang Tower, and before coming, Mr. Xu from the capital briefly explained to Dong Nuan the general temperament of this brother of the same race.
However, they haven't seen each other for many years. Lizhou is too far away from the capital, so when I report on my work, I always go back every three to five years.
Therefore, Master Xu is not sure what will become of this brother.
Moreover, when the other party returns to Beijing to report on his work, he may not necessarily run into him. Speaking of which, he has not seen this brother of the same race for seven or eight years, and only exchanges letters occasionally.
The two or three times a year are just daily polite exchanges.
Now that I'm here, Dong Nuan actually doesn't feel confident, but she's still calm.
It's easy to get along with everyone, but it's not easy to get along...
Then send him away.
This was the confidence the emperor gave her.
There was no way, the emperor wanted to change Lizhou's thoughts very urgently.
So, anyone who wants to stop change, then leave.
This was said by the emperor himself, so Winter Warmth is very confident.
