There is no conflict between a happy New Year and a warm spring night.
At least, that's what Dong Nuan thinks.
The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.
A family of three got up in the same bed.
Han Jianglou was the first to wake up. He kissed his little wife and then his little daughter. He felt extremely satisfied.
Dong Nuan was kissed by him and opened her eyes to take a look.
Feeling that the time was almost up, she didn't stay in bed.
After all, officials from all over the country are coming to Fucheng to pay New Year's greetings, and they need to socialize in the warm winter.
It was noisy and slept soundly.
I probably stayed up too long last night, so I woke up late this morning.
Dong Nuan let the child fall asleep and let the wet nurse take care of it while she went to arrange other things.
Most of the things have been arranged early in the morning, but some small details need to be mentioned separately.
Today, Dong Nuan is wearing a dark red stand-up collared long-sleeved coat, paired with an indigo horse-faced skirt embroidered with pictures of people playing in the forest. Most of the accessories on her head are mainly gold, with other colors as supplements.
After tidying up, the wives of various county officials began to arrive.
Dong Nuan sent someone to pick her up, while she was preparing in the banquet hall in the backyard.
In the past few years, although some county magistrates in several counties have changed people, they have been promoted and moved away, new ones have been transferred, or they have been demoted due to various mistakes.
Many people changed one after another, but most of them were familiar faces.
So, after coming over, everyone exchanged greetings, then took their seats and started talking about their daily lives.
We all understand each other's temperaments, and even if we put on a mask for a day, we still have to keep pretending.
If you have any private grudges, you can settle them slowly afterwards.
Most people would be embarrassed to do such a shameful thing in front of the prefect, and even an uncle.
Everyone gets along harmoniously. Naturally, the Hanjiang Tower in the front yard and the county magistrates also get along harmoniously.
After all, this is their peak, what else can they do?
Two of them were newly appointed county magistrates last year. One of them is older and has been in the Hanlin Academy for most of his life. He finally wants to start working abroad and climb up a little bit.
The other one, who was younger, was a Jinshi at the same time as Hanjiang Tower. He had previously thought that the Hanlin Academy was good and that he would have food and accommodation in the capital.
Later, for some unknown reason, I began to think about finding a relationship and letting go.
The two of them are new here, and they didn't have many outstanding results in the two counties last year, so they were a little depressed about this.
After all, with Hanjianglou, the master of volume, in front of them for comparison, they always felt that even if they made some achievements, they seemed to be inconspicuous.
It’s only strange that Hanjiang Tower set the starting point too high!
!
It's a pity that they don't dare to say it.
The first day of the new year was spent with everyone busy.
On the second day of the new year, Hanjianglou took Dongnuan to socialize with various envoys between the two states.
On the third day of the new year, Hanjianglou packed his bags and returned to Beijing to report on his work.
It's close to the capital, so I definitely have to go back every year to report on my work.
In anticipation of a warm winter, they will probably have to stay in Lianzhou for two to three years before being transferred back to the capital.
After all, the emperor promised her that if Hanjiang Tower returns to the capital, it must be a beautiful return, at least starting as a minister.
Second grade officer.
It's not bad at all.
It's just that Hanjianglou is young and has little experience, so he still has to endure it.
Even if there is an emperor who opens the back door and operates behind the scenes, at least it has to look good on the surface.
The emperor had originally planned to wait another one to two years and transfer them back.
Anyway, it's not that far away now. We don't have to guard any border city, and we don't have to worry about Dong Nuan being kidnapped by someone.
Therefore, the emperor was very relieved.
But...
There are always surprises in everything.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor specially summoned Hanjiang Tower alone.
"Qing Han, I originally wanted to wait two more years to bring you and Nuannuan back, but in this situation, he doesn't wait for anyone." The emperor sighed as soon as he opened his mouth.
When Hanjianglou heard this, did he want to return to Beijing early?
He didn't have any idea about it, and it would be nice to come back.
They also have families and businesses here, plus, he will be promoted when he comes back.
Although he said he had no experience, he didn't panic.
Those years in Jingxian County really tempered him a lot, so even if he takes over a high position now, he doesn't panic and is still stable.
But, from what I heard from Your Majesty, is there something urgent that needs to be done when they come back?
"I'm scared." Hanjianglou couldn't think of it for a moment and hurriedly showed humility.
Hearing what he said, the emperor waved his hand: "After the reorganization in Youchang Kingdom, a lot of trees, seeds, etc. were brought back, but the agricultural supervisor and the people from Shanglinyuan..."
Speaking of this, His Majesty took some control and did not spit out the fragrance, but...
Hanjianglou always felt that his face was full of curse words.
However, after all, it was His Majesty who had to consider the issue of appearance and face, and finally took control: "They have worked hard for a year, but they have not been able to make a living. They also want to come again this year, but transporting things from the southwest to the capital requires a lot of effort.
We have a lot of manpower and material resources, and if there is a more suitable candidate, I don’t want them to have to worry about it anymore.”
What the emperor didn't say is that a group of people who live in poverty know how to waste my money. It is my money, but it has no results. The most important thing is that it has no results.
I'm so angry!
!
Although this kind of thing usually happens, the process is the same.
New species don’t have several years of experimental data, so no one dares to just plant them and let the people eat them.
However, the emperor had taken a shortcut, and he no longer wanted these people to waste money and fool around.
When winter came back, the emperor was too embarrassed to let the two of them live in separate places.
Originally, going to Lianzhou from Hanjiang Tower was just a matter of ferrying money. It didn't matter how long it took to go there. With a few more years of experience, you could get promoted when you came back.
Now it is just a little ahead of schedule. Based on the merits of these two people, there is a difference of one or two years. Who can say anything?
Especially those who eat winter vegetables and fruits grown in warm-winter glass houses.
They dared to ask, and the emperor just wanted to ask them, are the fruits in winter delicious?
snort!
As if he didn’t know!
He didn't even have much to eat, and those people were richer than him, the emperor.
Okay, he admits that he is picky.
Listening to the emperor's complaints, what else could Hanjiang Tower say to show his loyalty: "I am willing to do my best for His Majesty."
If Hanjianglou is willing, Dongnuan will definitely have no objection.
Therefore, His Majesty is ready to bring Hanjiang Tower back with a wave of his hand.
Hanjiang Tower is also very lucky. Under normal circumstances, if they are transferred back this year, there will be people in the six ministerial positions, so they can't exclude anyone, right?
Therefore, he estimated that he would probably have to arrange another location for Hanjiang Tower.
But, isn't this a coincidence now?
The old mother of Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue passed away just a year ago. She was going to go back to Dingyou for three years, so the position happened to be vacant.
