The news that Li Hui was appointed to the northern prefecture spread quickly in the capital.
Just imagine, even ordinary people know that the new scholars can be appointed after passing the examination, but the second place in the Jinke has not been appointed. Suddenly, the decree was issued, and the talk of it was much more national treasure. Compared with the opening of the main street shabu-shabu house, that
It’s worse than anything else.
The common people are talking about it enthusiastically, and the upper class circles in the capital are also very lively.
At first, some people speculated that he was going to enter the Hanlin Academy. Others speculated that he was going to enter the Sixth Ministry. Others speculated that he had offended the palace workers and had to wait three to five years...
Anyway, there are many guesses, but the most guessed are those who entered the Hanlin Academy. In addition, Mrs. Gu sent someone to send a message to the Li family, which makes people even more confident. It happened that at this juncture, the palace appointed the Northern Territory Prefecture.
The imperial decree, this can make many aristocratic families breathe a sigh of relief.
What will happen if Su Zhen, the Marquis of Dingbei, is transferred back to the capital? What if he is given a gold medal and a command arrow? The northern state capital is a mob den. If you go in, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die.
When Mrs. Gu learned from Bai Shao that Li Hui was going to be the Governor of the Northern Prefecture, she said angrily "Ah" with a complicated face. She thought she could stay in the capital, but she didn't expect... Her husband was really not sure.
I even told her about it.
When she thought that her father would return to Beijing soon, she excitedly told her mother-in-law:
"Go to the village and see how many winter clothes the women have made. As many as you have, pack them up and bring them to Mr. Li. The others will be sent away after they are finished."
"Yes, ma'am."
Bai Shao said everything she needed to say. Seeing that her mother-in-law was about to leave, she bowed and left. But before she could walk out of the second courtyard, she was stopped by the maid behind her.
"What's wrong with this sister?"
The maid pointed at the things on the hands of the two people behind her and said:
"This is a return gift from our wife to your wife. Our wife asked you to help me with a message. If you need anything in the northern state capital, just write to our wife and tell her, and our wife will do her best to help."
"Okay, I'll take our wife to thank Mrs. Gu, sorry for bothering my sister."
After saying that, he and the girl he brought walked forward, each moved a plate and left Gu's house.
After getting in the car, Bai Shao opened the cloth cover. Although she had been prepared in her heart, she couldn't help but feel angry when she saw that the birthday gift she had brought back was returned intact. From the corner of her eye, she caught a look of astonishment on the girl next to her.
She adjusted her mentality and sneered, "Haha..."
"This is normal, don't be surprised. If our master had stayed in the capital today, even if he did not enter the Hanlin Academy, the rewards given by the Gu family would not be these."
The woman was still puzzled and shook her head slowly:
"Isn't Mrs. Gu the most caring person in the capital for her family and country? Every year, she recruits ladies from major families to send things to keep out the cold in the north."
"Yes, you are right, but you have to think about who is the official stationed in the military camp there when she sends things to the north."
"Su Zhen, why...oh, Lord Su is Mrs. Gu's biological father!"
Bai Shao patted her shoulder and said nothing. I thought that the six people sent to the palace didn't understand anything, but I didn't expect that they all didn't know much about the world. It's not surprising that she would think so, no one would have thought that planting "eyes" would actually
He would play his cards so unconventionally. But the wolf chief chose such a "talent".
It is not that Lang Cao is without his tact, but he has been with his master for many years and knows how much his master values Li Hui, otherwise he would not be able to let Qin Tianjian approve his life three times in a row. Although these six people are novices in dealing with things, they are all in different situations.
With special skills, there is absolutely no problem in protecting the safety of Li Hui and his family, and they will not be guarded against.
When the two returned home, they saw Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Lian sitting in the main room, both bowing and saying hello.
When Bai Shao told the whole story about what happened and what happened in return, Lian became embarrassed.
Cheng Xue sent the two girls away, and Lian slammed the table angrily, breathing heavily.
"Who are you? You are so snobbish! Aren't you known as the most kind lady in the capital? Are you just looking at other people's dishes? Bah-"
Whatever manners or manners you have at this moment, get out of here. She Lian Yuying was angry, very angry!
The Li family received the imperial edict within a stick of incense, and the two sisters-in-law came. She could guess that the Lian family was coming, but she did not expect that the Bai family would also come.
Seeing her face full of embarrassment, Cheng Xue hurriedly grabbed Lian's hand, rubbed it gently, and tried to smooth things over.
"Look, why are you so excited? Isn't this normal? We have to face reality! We are both white and have no background, so we naturally deserve to be treated like this. Don't be angry."
"That can't be...it can't be so obvious." Lian gritted her teeth, "After all, she still takes our store's gold card. No, we have to take the card back, so as not to give it to this snobbish guy."
"Second brother and sister, no, if you are angry, you must be angry. Things should go on as usual." Ms. Bai hurriedly tried to persuade her.
The Li family was wronged, but she didn't say a word. Now all she heard was Lian's "Haha..." sneer.
It was already embarrassing, but it was even more embarrassing now. I never expected that Su Shi would really disregard face.
She was the one who invited Su to open the shop. She was also the one who was happy to be brought along to do good deeds. She was the one who was silent just now. She grew up in the capital and was used to seeing this kind of thing, but someone like Su was still
This is really the first time.
Cheng Xue couldn't watch their sisters-in-law arguing, so she hurriedly said:
"Yuying, don't be willful. Listen to your sister-in-law. No matter what you say, peace is the most important thing when doing business. You would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. Have you forgotten? Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. At the beginning, you both
If you choose to believe in our couple, just keep believing until the end. Don’t worry, it’s all temporary at the moment, so just trust us.”
Feeling the force on her hands, Lian finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I just said something out of anger. Sister Xuan and I will go north with you tomorrow at noon. How can I have time to go to the Gu family to get stuck?"
"Ah? Are you coming with us?"
"Second brother and sister, this is too sudden. The family has not prepared anything."
Not only Cheng Xue was surprised, but Bai was also confused. The original plan was to go north after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now it is several months ahead of schedule.
Lian didn't hide her emotions and said to Bai:
"Sister-in-law, I have a bit of a temper. If I don't like you, I won't be able to flatter you, so I'd better go with my sister-in-law to avoid going to Gu's house and saying something I shouldn't say."
The closeness in the words gave Ms. Bai a headache. Logically speaking, the two of them should be the closest, but now it's good, it's completely the other way around. Ms. Bai didn't force it, anyway, she already had everything at home, so she would have to pay for it to the second room.
In the past, you can take care of things yourself.
"Okay, you two go with Mrs. Li, and your family can rest assured. In this way, at the end of the year, in addition to 10% of the store's bonus, I will give it to the Gu family to do good deeds, and I will spend an additional half of it myself to find someone to make things to keep out the cold.
and a convoy, and sent them to the northern state capital independently."
