After seeing off Zhou Liru, Mrs. Liu sighed and said to her grandma: "Among so many children, the one who is most considerate in the end is the granddaughter-in-law who just married in."
Grandma smiled and said: "This shows that the old lady has good taste."
"It's not always good," Mrs. Liu became even more melancholy, sighing: "The eldest daughter-in-law is very old, but she still doesn't have a child who is sensible."
Mammy couldn't help but say bad things about Mrs. Liu, so she could only console her: "Our husband is big-hearted and he is not the one he cares about. I don't care about the bride either. Why should the old lady take it to heart? This is also uncomfortable for me."
Mrs. Liu sighed and said: "As elders, we always hope that their family will be harmonious. How long can his grandfather and I live? Although Li Ru is capable, Huan'er will definitely live a better life with family help."
Grandma smiled and said, "There is also Mr. Da Lang."
She said: "The older man and the younger man grew up together. The brothers are very harmonious and have a good relationship. The older man will definitely take care of the younger man in the future."
When Mrs. Liu thought about it, she really thought about it and said, "Well, after all, the relationship between their parents and children is shallow. Let's sort out my dowry later and pick out some things that I don't need. When the time comes,
Give one point to several children."
Grandma agreed.
When Zhou Liru came back the next day, the Liu family prepared very generous gifts for him.
Because Zhou Man and Bai Shan were leaving Beijing today, Zhou Liru got up early, went to greet Mrs. Liu and then went home with a cart full of gifts.
Zhou Man really waited for her, so much so that when Zhou Liru returned to Zhou's house, they had just finished washing and hadn't even eaten breakfast.
Zhou Man then said: "Then let's have breakfast together. We will set off after you have seen the ceremony in a while."
Lao Zhou's family has a large family, and none of his relatives are here, so Liu Huan's visit was particularly smooth and fast.
After breakfast, Manbao went to change his clothes and go out.
Lao Zhoutou, Qian, Mr. Zhuang, Mrs. Liu and others sent them outside the gate.
Their luggage had been prepared long ago. Man Bao touched his red horse, handed it to the guard, and went up to bid farewell to the teacher with Bai Shan.
Mr. Zhuang warned them: "Be humble and low-key when acting outside, and don't be too showy."
Man Bao and Bai Shan responded together.
Mrs. Liu said: "Pay attention to safety. Don't worry at home. I will take care of you. If you are missing anything over there, just write to me and let me know and I will have someone bring it to you from the capital."
Man Bao and Bai Shan also responded together.
Lao Zhoutou and Qian also asked them to pay attention to their health. Qian said: "I don't understand the officialdom. What you said this time about demoting officials is to work outside. I don't understand these either, but I just want to
Now, since you have received the emperor's salary, you have to work for the emperor, so just listen to the emperor."
"But besides that, I have a few more words to remind you," Qian looked at the two children and sighed: "I am illiterate and have no knowledge. I just live a long life and see a lot, so I can't help but think about it.
I don’t know if Mr. Zhuang has taught you something. If he has, I’m just giving you a few words in vain. If he hasn’t, then you should listen carefully.”
"There is nothing wrong with you taking the emperor's money to do things for the emperor, but you should also ask your conscience when doing things. If you violate your conscience, we would rather not have the emperor's money." Qian warned: "Our family
We are not short of money now. Even when we were short of money, we never did anything against our conscience, let alone now that we are not short of money."
Man Bao and Bai Shan nodded seriously and said, "Mother, we have written it down."
Only then did Qian let them go.
In Qian's view, although their official positions were lowered, Man Bao and Bai Shan Waifang had greater responsibilities.
She always felt that the two of them were just children. Although they were officials in the capital, there were still many superior officials to keep them informed.
But when they get to the local level, they are the superiors. If they do something wrong, they will directly harm others.
Mrs. Qian sighed sadly, and Mrs. Liu smiled at her and said, "My dear, our two children are both good children. Don't worry, they won't do bad things."
Qian laughed and said: "I don't believe they will do bad things, but I am worried that they will do wrong things."
Of course Mrs. Liu was also worried that the officialdom was not so easy to mess with. For example, it was still a mystery who instigated Magistrate Luo's master to persuade Magistrate Luo to use fake medicines against the Luozhou Medical Department.
Mr. Yu carefully checked and found out that Magistrate Luo's master only confessed that he was a merchant named Jiang who came from the south of the Yangtze River. Because he wanted to use his connections to lead the way to the Western Regions, he tried his best to please him.
He gave him a lot of gold, silver and pearls.
At that time, Magistrate Luo was worried about the evaluation. As the magistrate of Luo, the master was naturally worried about his employer's family, so he expressed it in his words.
When talking to Merchant Jiang, the topic expanded. He talked about the Medical Office's obstruction of the county government's office, and also brought up the water robbery case the year before last. If the Medical Office had not already registered it, or else he only needed to get through to the governor's office.
This matter can be completely concealed. Even if it does not get a good evaluation, it still deserves a medium evaluation.
The master actually thought it was reasonable at the time, so he kept talking more and more confusedly. In the end, he wanted to expel the medical office from the place, so that the county government could completely control government affairs. When the evaluation comes, this might even become a project.
Merit, after all, solving important cases is also merit.
Mrs. Liu sighed, for some struggles in official circles, the truth may only surface after the person dies, or the secret may be buried forever in some people's hearts and will never be known to the public.
I just hope everything goes well for Bai Shan and Zhou Man.
Bai Erlang, Zhou Lang and others sent them outside the city gate. There were already many people in the pavilion outside the city gate waiting to see them off.
Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu are also there.
What surprised Bai Shan and others was that Mr. Tang was also there.
So the first thing I said when we met was, "You are absent from work."
Mr. Tang:......
He glanced at Bai Erlang.
Bai Erlang immediately said: "I asked for leave."
He asked for it for several days.
It was obviously impossible for Mr. Tang to take "several days" of leave, so he really missed work, but he was very confident, "I came to inspect and saw that there were many people here, so I couldn't help but stop and take a look."
He looked Zhou Man and Bai Shan up and down, nodded and said, "They seem to be in good spirits, so I just came to see them off and say take care."
Bai Shan and Zhou Man saluted and thanked them.
Mr. Tang said with a smile: "You two are pretty good. Back then, Changbo was able to single-handedly bring Luojiang County out of the lower county and bring in the tax revenue from the middle county. I believe you two can do the same."
Yin You's words were simpler. He said: "I will go see you when the weather gets warmer."
Mingda also said enthusiastically: "I will also look for opportunities to visit you."
Chang Yu doesn't like to go on long trips. She likes to have fun, but doesn't like to be tired, so she hesitated for a moment and then said, "Should I go too?"
Everyone looked at her belly, and Zhou Man said, "You'd better not come. You'll have to take care of the baby when the baby is born."
Chang Yu waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "There is a palace man and nanny here, so I don't need to take him."
