The first one is Hualan. Hualan's current situation in the Yuan family is somewhat different from before.
Not only did Sheng Changbai need to leave Bianliang to serve abroad, military generals like Yuan Wenshao also had to be transferred out to guard the border.
Since Hua Lan and Yuan Wenshao were married for seven or eight years, Yuan Wenshao had not only accompanied the new emperor, who was still King Huan, on a tour of the northwest and acted in a play.
They have never left the capital for a long time, which is considered lucky for a military commander.
In the recent years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there have been no wars, and the Forbidden Army does not need to support the border on a large scale, giving young generals like Yuan Wenshao time to pass on heirs and have children.
After the new year, Yuan Wenshao will also leave Bianliang and rotate to Bianzhou with the Forbidden Army.
Hualan was in the Yuan family without Yuan Wenshao, the most important supporter.
Faced with Yuan's mother-in-law, life is obviously much more difficult than before.
Therefore, in order to make Hualan's life easier, Yuan's mother-in-law's life should not be too leisurely.
Sheng Changbai still took the initiative to help, entrusting someone to Uncle Zhongqin and sending two more concubines over.
Originally, my boss had sent two concubines to Uncle Zhongqin, and now I had asked old friends of the Yuan family to send two new concubines to Uncle Zhongqin.
Now even if Yuan's mother-in-law wants to organize a mahjong game in Uncle Zhongqin's back house, there will be one more person, enough to occupy Yuan's mother-in-law's free time.
The only disadvantage of this matter may be that Hualan's children, Sister Zhuang and Brother Shi, will have uncles and aunts younger than themselves.
Hualan will have several more brothers, sisters and sisters-in-law to take care of.
But the problem is not that big. The property of Uncle Zhongqin’s Mansion has nothing to do with Yuan Wenshao.
Having more brothers and sisters is definitely a good thing, as they can help each other.
Then it was Sheng Laosi Molan's turn to make arrangements.
Mo Lan's life was definitely not a good one. After all, after getting married, Mo Lan's living standards in all aspects dropped by more than one level compared to the Sheng family.
A prosperous life that is enough to satisfy ordinary people is far from meeting Molan's needs.
But it's not too bad. With Sheng Hong's strong support in the dowry, a life of worry-free food and clothing can still be guaranteed.
Just don’t be too picky about the type of clothes and physical items.
The material aspect is adequate, but the spiritual aspect is not empty.
When there is no husband to accompany you, there is a mother-in-law who can fight at home.
Life is not too boring, and you can still find some fun.
For Mo Lan, who is aggressive by nature, having no rivals in life is not necessarily a good thing.
Although Sheng Changbai's feelings for Mo Lan are far inferior to those of the other three Lans.
But still in line with my duty to be the eldest son, I need to take some care of Mo Lan, who has not made any big mistakes.
This care is not aimed at caring for Mo Lan himself. Mo Lan is now considered stable in all aspects.
This is a state that Sheng Changbai hopes to achieve after all.
Zhaofu mainly targeted Mo Lan's husband Wen Yanjing.
After all, he is the son-in-law of the Sheng family, and the Sheng family cannot really forget him in Lingnan.
Wen Yanjing was not harmed by the barrier energy in a short period of time and lived well in Lingnan.
It does not mean that you can adapt to life in Lingnan for a long time.
Taking advantage of the fact that the new emperor opened Enke again, a large number of new generations of Jinshi were about to enter the officialdom. The new emperor also began to rectify the administration of officials, and frequent transfers were about to occur in the officialdom.
Wen Yanjing, who has been eating "lychee" for two years, should also change his position.
Sheng Changbai didn't like Wen Yanjing very much, and he wasn't prepared to make great efforts to transfer him back to Bianliang.
But the hard time has come, and it is still necessary to help move some positions and occupy a more important position.
He is also the Sheng family, and should have given his son-in-law the due support.
The next arranged Sheng Laowu Ru Lan, Ru Lan and Mo Lan are probably in similar situations.
It's just that Ru Lan is more comfortable without her mother-in-law by her side, without any restrictions.
In contrast, after getting married, Ru Lan had more time to go out and play by herself.
It can be considered that she lived a relatively happy life. After all, when she lived in the Sheng family, she was also suppressed by Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu, so Ru Lan could not live so freely.
But even if Ru Lan is quite satisfied with her current life, she still needs to be arranged.
After all, Ru Lan is the biological sister of the same mother as Sheng Changbai. Sheng Changbai is not as perfunctory with Ru Lan as he is with Mo Lan.
We also need to make some long-term plans for Ru Lan.
She is already married to a wife, she is not too young, and it is time for her to have children.
After all, the age for women to have children is not long, and they will encounter various accidents during this period.
For example, when an emperor dies, he must observe filial piety.
If an elderly empress dowager or empress dowager dies in the palace, the courtiers and the people will also observe filial piety.
If the father and his parents unfortunately pass away, they must observe mourning for three years respectively.
When relatives with varying degrees of closeness pass away, the mourning period ranges from a few months to a year.
So when you reach the right age, you should consider that having children is not a bad thing.
It's time for the couple Ru Lan and Li Yu to live together.
In addition, Sheng Changbai also admires Li Yu more, so he should be more attentive to Li Yu's arrangements.
According to Li Yu's qualifications, it is not easy to transfer him directly back to the capital this time.
But Sheng Changbai also chose the next stop for Li Yu.
Luoyang, the capital of Xijing in the Great Zhou Dynasty, as a companion capital, was quite good in terms of academics, economy, politics, and even entertainment.
The key location is not far from Bianliang and Kaifeng, so it is considered a suitable place.
After Li Yu was transferred to Luoyang this time, Ru Lan could accompany him to Luoyang to take up his post.
From now on, I should be like Wang Ruofu, live wherever my husband goes to serve as an official.
Finally, there is the most reassuring Sheng Laoliu and Sheng Minglan.
Minglan's life in the He family was indeed good, and she was deeply liked by the old lady of the He family and He Hongwen.
The problem of having a mother-in-law who is suffering from chronic illness is not a big problem.
Minglan's life consists of being a decent and virtuous daughter-in-law and serving her sick mother-in-law.
In other aspects, I feel more relaxed and comfortable than when I was a daughter in the Sheng family.
After all, when she was in the Sheng family, because she was a concubine, Minglan had to be cautious, hide her clumsiness, and not be too provocative, but she still couldn't let go, so she was definitely suppressing herself.
When she arrived at the He family, she was the head of the family. The old lady of the He family let go. When the mother-in-law of the He family was in poor health and could not take care of things, Minglan had complete control over the back house of the He family.
If the He family was considered a company, Minglan could at least be considered a general manager responsible for general affairs.
When the chairman refuses to take charge of the affairs, Minglan can make the decision with just one word.
In fact, it is not difficult for Minglan to serve her sick mother-in-law. The main thing is to express an attitude.
After all, the He family was wealthy and had many servants. Her mother-in-law had no need for Minglan, so she personally served tea and water and served the decoctions.
When it comes to serving Minglan, she is really not as good as the maid and mother-in-law that she is used to at home.
This day is actually pretty good, better than 99% of the families in Bianliang City.
Sheng Changbai's help to Minglan was to help the He family so that He Hongwen could join the Imperial Medical College as soon as possible, that is, become an imperial doctor.
Even if He Hongwen's medical skills are still far behind, he is not suitable for treating any noble person.
After entering a medical hospital, you can also start as a basic doctor.
Entering the Medical Officer's Hospital early, which is the place with the most famous doctors in the Great Zhou Dynasty, is also a good thing for He Hongwen to improve his medical skills.
Not to mention, the Zhou Dynasty was still an official-based society, so getting an official position was actually quite important.
Even if the He family has some old in-laws, it would be more convenient for He Hongwen to become an official himself.
A few years ago, Sheng Changbai didn't have any major events in Beijing. He was just busy dealing with some trivial matters before leaving Beijing.
In addition to arranging the four Lans, Sheng Changbai also sent the Kang family to the southwest.
Let this family stay with other foreigners.
If Uncle Kang could use his talents of blowing, cutting, and speaking to persuade some foreigners to join the Zhou Dynasty, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Although Uncle Kang only likes to chat with hangers-on, he does not want to leave the prosperous Bianliang or really do anything.
However, despite the insistence of Aunt Kang, who was looked down upon by the Bianliang official family members because her husband had no mission, the Kang family still packed their bags.
He had not been in Bianliang for many years, so he went to the southwest to take office.
After a year of waiting at home, I saw the candidates for the new subject take the state examination.
I saw Sheng Changfeng, the third son of Sheng, and passed the exam to be a child-raiser.
Sheng Changbai will take office before he can see Sheng Changfeng take the provincial examination again.
"Husband, when you arrive in Qinzhou, you have to take good care of yourself. When the child is older, I will go to work with you." Hai Chaoyun said reluctantly.
Because the two people get along harmoniously, they are actually quite affectionate.
"I can take care of myself by myself, but it will be harder for you in Bianliang. It is not easy to take care of a large family."
Sheng Changbai also entrusted his entire family to Hai Chaoyun.
After all, the old lady was old. After Minglan got married, the old lady began to lose interest in family affairs.
Normally, old ladies don't get involved in family affairs.
Therefore, in Sheng Changbai's opinion, the most sober person in the family is Hai Chaoyun.
Now Hai Chaoyun is helping Wang Ruofu take care of things at home.
Although Hai Chaoyun would definitely not be able to control these elders in his family.
But it is enough to stop a few people when they are not clear-headed and confused.
"Bai'er, Qinzhou is no better than Yangzhou and Xuzhou where you lived before. This place is an important border town, with foreign countries and many foreign races. You still have to be careful when you arrive." Sheng Hong also warned carefully.
"This is the place I chose, so I naturally don't have to."
Although Sheng Changbai returned to Bianliang from Xuzhou, he was promoted twice more.
But this time, outsiders were left in charge, and the person in charge was still the general judge.
With Sheng Changbai's rank and qualifications, he would be qualified to serve as prefect if he chose an ordinary state capital.
However, considering that ordinary magistrates are far inferior to Qinzhou, an important border town and the front line of Xixia, Tongpan can do more.
Sheng Changbai still chose to serve as Qinzhou's second-in-command.
Young Jinshi can usually take advantage of a lot.
At any time, both the emperor and the important officials in the court valued Sheng Changbai.
But when it came time to take on the important responsibilities of the frontier and want to serve as the border magistrate.
Sheng Changbai has suffered the consequences of his age to some extent.
If Sheng Changbai was a Jinshi in his thirties, he would have been in the officialdom for seven or eight years.
No one would think that Sheng Changbai was unworthy of being the magistrate of an important border town.
"Changbai, when you arrive, write a letter home. Why do you bother to do this..."
Wang Ruofu, like other people who were bidding farewell to their relatives in the northwest, wiped away tears.
The northwest is on the front line and has always been much more dangerous than other places.
"Okay, you guys go back, I'm leaving now."
This time Sheng Changbai went out and couldn't take a boat. This time he could only ride a horse.
Liu Tao, Xu San, and other people who were favored by Sheng Changbai also rode horses.
The rest of the people could only travel on foot, in combination with horse-drawn carriages and mule-drawn carriages.
This time, the people I took with me when I went out also had many servants to serve me.
Those things that I brought with me when I went out, including the cook, the helper, and the little maid, have all been cancelled.
I only brought four female envoys as necessary, indispensable, and trustworthy people who could serve me personally.
The main person brought out this time was the "young man" from Zhuanghu who had practiced martial arts with Sheng Changbai.
The original teenagers are now young people in their twenties. It is time to work hard and make contributions.
The most important reason why Sheng Changbai trained these people in the first place was to use them at this time.
The only ones left were the soldiers who escorted Sheng Changbai to his post.
After reducing the number of people traveling, there were actually a team of hundreds of people.
Although there is no convenient waterway, due to the situation in the northwest, it is uncertain when Bianliang will send troops to help.
Therefore, the official road from Bianliang to the northwest is well maintained.
Traveling during the day and staying at a post station at night, after walking for a week, Sheng Changbai also arrived at Tongguan.
After leaving Tongguan, even when we reach the northwest boundary, the terrain is determined.
After arriving here, even the official road is not that easy.
After passing Tongguan, he passed through Xi'an again, where Sheng Changbai stayed for a day.
After thinking about it for a moment, I realized that the prosperity of this former capital actually went through a long period of chaos for nearly a hundred years.
Xi'an, a country of the former dynasty, can no longer see much of the glory of the previous dynasty.
Then Sheng Changbai went to Yanzhou, which was later known as Yan'an.
We have actually reached the border of Da Zhou here.
But there is still quite a distance from Qinzhou, which was probably located in Tianshui, Gansu Province in later generations.
Drawing an irregular arc from Yanzhou to Qinzhou is now the northwest border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After leaving Tongguan, Sheng Changbai walked for ten days.
Although Sheng Changbai was not in a hurry, it took him twenty days to reach Qinzhou.
This is enough to show how difficult it was to travel in this era without waterways.
Qinzhou is located on an important transportation road. If it goes to war with Xixia, it has an absolute strategic position. It is an absolute important town in the northwest and an absolute military power.
Needless to say, the military is far stronger than other state capitals, and the economy of Qinzhou is not weak either.
Sheng Changbai wanted to come to Qinzhou because he valued Qinzhou's military.
Qinzhou's economy is also an important aspect, the reason why Qinzhou and Tubo are close to each other.
There is a market and horse market for trading with Tubo, Dangxiang, and Uighur tribes. ()
