Chapter 523

Xu Chunjun was wearing a narrow-legged see-through gauze jacket and a silk skirt, and was putting a large stack of account books on the table.

Ah Li came with tea and urged Xu Chunjun to take a sip.

"Grandma, please take a rest! You've been busy these days."

Xu Chunjun smiled and said, "I'm almost busy now. I'll call shopkeeper Yi later and take these account books back to the bank."

Ah Li agreed, and Ah Li walked in and said, "The aunt of the Xu family is here."

When Xu Chunjun heard this, he quickly stood up and went out to greet him. Xu Lang walked in with a smile, followed by several wet nurses and maids, holding her twin sons.

"Auntie, aren't you busy today?" Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "I'm still thinking of going to your house in half the day!"

"I'm not as busy as you." Xu Lang smiled and took Xu Chunjun's hand, "I know you must be extremely busy, so I came over to see you and see if there is anything I can do to help."

Xu Chunjun had already ordered the maids to bring tea and snacks, and asked them to take his two brothers to the back garden to see the goldfish.

Xu Lang said: "Have you decided on a date to leave Beijing?"

"I'll be leaving on the 15th of next month," Xu Chunjun said. "I have to hand over the government affairs."

"It's faster to take the waterway from here to Chenzhou," Xu Lang said, "Besides, the weather is hot at this time, so you'll suffer less if you take the waterway."

"I have the same idea as my aunt," Xu Chunjun smiled and nodded, "I just need to prepare more mugwort sachets, as there are many mosquitoes near the water."

It turned out that Zheng Wuji had been appointed as the magistrate of Chenzhou, and he was personally appointed by the emperor.

A few days ago, Cen Yunchu also announced Xu Chunjun to the palace and gave special instructions.

Xu Chunjun was going to take office with her husband, and everything in Beijing had to be settled in advance, so these days were very hectic.

"I'll go see your old lady and my wife later," Xu Lang said. "When you leave, these two old people must be extremely reluctant to leave."

Xu Chunjun couldn't help but sigh softly after hearing this, and said: "My uncle and I were worried too, so we invited my sister's family to live here, so we can always take better care of them."

"Your sister and brother-in-law are both kind and kind people. With them around, you and Wuji will always feel more at ease." Xu Lang said, "On the one hand, shopkeeper Yi is responsible for business matters, and on the other hand, your second brother and I also

I can help take care of it.

Naturally, it’s not as good as yours in Beijing, but at least I won’t lose money.”

Xu Chunjun is very popular, so when she needs help, others are willing to help.

"With everyone's help, I don't have anything to worry about. I just feel reluctant to let go." Xu Chunjun lowered his head slightly to hide his reluctance. "In two days, I will go home with you to have a look. I don't know if I will come back again."

What year is it!"

Xu Lang knew that Xu Chunjun was sad to leave, so he comforted her and said: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. Wuji is now doing business. The elders are happy for you.

Don’t worry too much about family matters, it’s normal for people to separate and reunite.”

"My aunt mentioned something about shepherd's purse a few days ago. We picked some shepherd's purse here in the spring, blanched and frozen it, and asked them to make wontons." Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "I tasted no different from fresh ones."

"That's good if you dare," Xu Lang smiled, "Sinan and Siyi also like it."

So Xu Chunjun asked the maid to go to the kitchen and tell her.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Xu Lang just said to Xu Chunjun: "The place in Chenzhou is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. You must be careful when you get there."

Xu Chunjun also knew: "Huaiyang is right there. The Huaiyang King Tree has deep roots and is indeed difficult to shake."

The King of Huaiyang was the queen's natal family, and he was an important official of the royal family who could depose and establish the king.

Not to mention the county of Huaiyang, the entire Chenzhou is the domain of the King of Huaiyang.

"The Holy Spirit's appointment of Wuji to Chenzhou should have a profound meaning." Although Xu Lang is a female, she is a daughter of the prime minister's family. She understands the changes in the officialdom much better than ordinary women. "The King of Huaiyang...

I am naturally very wary of you, but you have to be very careful."

Xu Lang knew that Xu Chunjun was extremely smart and Zheng Wuji was not a fool.

But these two people are young after all. Compared with a scheming person like the King of Huaiyang, they are still lacking in experience.

"Chenzhou is a place where officials who are clean and self-sufficient don't like to go. Xian, it is a hot potato." Xu Chunjun said, "It is said that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, not to mention that this local snake has hands and eyes that can reach the sky."

"Extraordinary people achieve extraordinary things. Your Majesty relies on you and has the ambition to reorganize the government.

Looking at the entire court, half of them are from the Queen's side. The Holy Emperor is always constrained by what he wants to do, and after all, he cannot tolerate them becoming so big." Xu Lang knew very well that no emperor likes to be a puppet, nor does he want to be beaten everywhere.

People are restrained.

The prince is incompetent and unworthy, and is not a suitable candidate for the throne.

If he is forced to become emperor, it will be a disaster for the people of Li.

But as long as the power of King Huaiyang is there, it will be extremely difficult to depose the prince.

"I hope our trip will fulfill our mission." Xu Chunjun said, "The imperial concubine told me that we originally expected to leave half a year later, but unexpectedly the queen helped me."

It turned out that when Xu Chunjun was in the palace, the queen specially promoted Zheng Wuji from the seventh rank to the fifth rank in order to win her over.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to directly appoint Zheng Wuji from a seventh-rank official to a fifth-rank magistrate.

It is both illegal and arousing suspicion, and will inevitably be impeached by many officials.

"Chenzhou is a place that looks good to the outside world with good weather and peace all year round," Xu Lang said, "but I don't know what the real situation is."

"We have to take it one step at a time," Xu Chunjun said. "Don't make any big splash at the beginning. You have to get a rough idea before talking."

"It's okay if others don't follow. You must take Zi Ling and Ah Ban with you." Xu Lang said, "Going out is no better than being at home. Zi Ling is the old man in front of you, and she knows your temperament.

Besides, she is now a very experienced housekeeper. With her here, you only have to worry about big things.

Aban is good at martial arts. In the past, when your uncle walked at night or to distant places, it was enough to have him by your side.

When we get to that dragon's pond and tiger's den, there's no one around to protect us, so how can we survive?"

"Then let Lvchun and his wife stay at home," Xu Chunjun said, "It's just that Ziling's child is a little younger, less than three years old!"

"Children, as long as their parents are around, they won't cry. What's more, you are not a poor family who travels on the road, eats and sleeps in the open, and suffers from uneven hunger and fullness.

The child can’t bear any punishment, and it’s only half a month old.”

Xu Chunjun agreed and accompanied Xu Lang to the great grandmother's room.

Jin is old, has little energy, and often lies in bed.

Seeing Xu Lang coming, he had to sit up even if he said anything.

"Your Xu family is really well-educated. I really like my granddaughter-in-law from the bottom of my heart." Mrs. Jin smiled and said, "It's a pity that she has to leave."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but shed tears.
