After walking out of the mansion, Zhou Jun picked up his horse. Seeing that it was already getting late, he walked toward his home along the street.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Zhou Jun handed over the reins of his horse to his servant. Zhou Dinghai and Luo Sanniang heard the sound and rushed out.
Luo Sanniang grabbed Zhou Jun's sleeve, looked up and down, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, and said: "Jun'er went to Liangzhou for more than half a year, but you suffered a lot.
"
Zhou Jun looked behind Luo Sanniang and saw Xiao Qingchan wearing a green jacket. She peeked over with excitement on her face, but she didn't dare to step forward.
Zhou Dinghai looked at Zhou Jun, took a long breath, and asked: "Jun'er moved from the sixth grade to the mutual market supervisor?"
Zhou Jun nodded.
Zhou Dinghai was filled with relief and said three words "good" in a row.
Luo Sanniang glared at Zhou Dinghai and complained: "It's so hard to come back, how can you be like you, talking about being an official?"
Zhou Dinghai was helpless and didn't bother to refute.
Zhou Jun glanced inside the hall and asked his parents, "Where is the eldest brother?"
Zhou Dinghai: "Then he moved to the county magistrate of Hu County, and took office with Yu Junniang in August."
Zhou Jun said oh.
Luo Sanniang: "You are working in Liangzhou, and Ze'er is in Hu County. It's boring for me and you, Aye, to live in Chang'an City. In addition, Yu Jun's mother is pregnant. We plan to move to Hu County after the New Year.
The county lives with Ze'er."
When Zhou Jun heard this, he was stunned for a while. He did not expect that Zhou Ze and Yu Junniang acted quickly. Not long after they got married, they even had a child.
Luo Sanniang took Zhou Jun into the hall and asked him about his situation in Liangzhou.
In order to prevent his parents from causing trouble, Zhou Jun deliberately concealed the affairs between Jin Fengniang and Chao Mu. He just picked some unimportant things and talked about them casually.
Luo Sanniang said from the side: "Jun'er is nineteen, and there's no girl he likes?"
Zhou Jun shook his head and said: "I have too many affairs to take care of."
Luo Sanniang looked back at Xiao Qingchan behind her, and said to Zhou Jun: "After the New Year, Jun'er should take Qingchan away, and at least keep someone by his side to take care of her."
When Zhou Jun heard this, he first glanced at Luo Sanniang, and then asked Xiao Qingchan: "Are you willing?"
Xiao Qingchan lowered his head and nodded lightly.
Zhou Jun asked Luo Sanniang again: "If my parents go to Hu County, what will happen to the family in Chang'an?"
Zhou Dinghai said: "We will take away what we can, and we will keep what we cannot. Your mother-in-law and I are going to Hu County this time to wait for the birth of our child. I am afraid we won't be back from Chang'an City for a while."
Zhou Jun remembered something and said to Zhou Dinghai: "Aye, can you leave me all the genealogy, tokens and documents of Yanqi's ancestors?"
Zhou Dinghai felt a little strange when he heard this, but those things were useless in his eyes, so he agreed.
Zhou Jun talked with his parents for a while and then returned to the wing.
Xiao Qingchan fell behind and also walked into the room.
Seeing the orderliness in the room, Zhou Jun couldn't help but sigh: "Qingchan is really commendable in terms of both her literary talent and her hard work."
Xiao Qingchan walked behind Zhou Jun and whispered: "Qingchan just wants to help Erlang as much as she can."
Zhou Jun found a folding bed, sat down, and asked Qingchan: "If I remember correctly, Qingchan's mother and sister are still in Chang'an City?"
Hearing this, Xiao Qingchan nodded quickly and said: "Qingchan's mother and younger sister are official maids in Sinong Temple, and Qingchan's second sister Yingluo has become a musician in the Liyuan Jiaofang."
Zhou Jun looked at Xiao Qingchan and said: "In the past two years in the Zhou family, you have worked hard and made no mistakes. I have seen it. Your mother and little sister, I will find an opportunity to talk to the chamberlain.
Let’s see if we can save them. As for your sister Xiao Yingluo, the Liyuan Jiaofang she lives in is under the rule of a saint. It’s inconvenient for me to intervene, so I can only act according to the situation.”
Hearing Zhou Jun's words, Xiao Qingchan's knees softened and she knelt on the ground. She couldn't help crying: "If Qingchan's mother and little sister can be saved from Sinong Temple, Qingchan is willing to work as a cow and horse for the rest of her life to repay her.
Erlang!"
Zhou Jun: "You should get up first... One more thing, my parents are going to Hu County after the Chinese New Year. I plan to temporarily arrange for you to go to Bachuan."
Xiao Qingchan was stunned when he heard this and asked: "Bachuan? Didn't you ask Qingchan to follow Erlang to Liangzhou?"
Zhou Jun: "Bachuan is expanding and needs to recruit manpower. The affairs are heavy and complicated. I need to find a trustworthy person to help organize it."
Xiao Qingchan nodded lightly.
Zhou Jun added: "I have a maid in Bachuan named Huayue. She is the steward there. You went to Bachuan to be her deputy and help her handle related matters."
Xiao Qingchan recited "painting the moon" twice in her mouth, and responded to Zhou Jun again.
Zhou Jun: "As for your mother and little sister, if you can ask them to be transferred to Bachuan, I will arrange for them to go to Bachuan so that you can be reunited."
When Xiao Qingchan heard this, she felt excited and quickly thanked her again.
After resting at home for a night, Zhou Jun rode his horse back to Bachuan Villa early in the morning the next day.
In Pang Gong's small courtyard, Yuping saw Zhou Jun returning and knew that the latter might have important matters, so she led him directly to the study.
Pang Gongzheng was copying calligraphy when he heard Zhou Jun's request to dismiss the palace servants and make them into miscellaneous households. He thought about it and asked a few key questions.
For example, the number of palace residents, the accommodation arranged, how to register the household, etc.
After Zhou Jun answered the questions one by one, he thought that Pang Gong would have to think carefully for a few days. Unexpectedly, the latter agreed on the spot after hearing the answers.
Zhou Jun was in disbelief: "Mr. Pang, this matter is of great concern. Do you want to reconsider it?"
Pang Gong smiled and waved his hand and said: "Since Erlang can bring up this matter, it means that you have already made a case in advance, so why should our family bother to do this?"
Seeing that Pang Gong trusted him so much, Zhou Jun was moved, bowed and saluted, and said, "Thank you, Jun."
Pang Gong: "Our family, who have been in the palace for so many years, know better than you how miserable the palace people who were dismissed were after they left the palace. If we can lend a helping hand, it can be regarded as remembering the old friendship.
."
Zhou Jun: "Pang Gong, there is one more thing. The number of palace residents who have been dismissed exceeds a thousand, and Bachuanfang City needs to build a large number of residences. If the cost is insufficient, Jun..."
Pang Gong interrupted Zhou Jun: "You don't need to worry too much about food and money, just go ahead and do it. Once the huge burden is put down, our family will bear it for you."
When Zhou Jun heard this, he sighed in his heart, took two steps back, clasped his hands, and bowed to Duke Pang to the end.
With Pang Gong's approval, Zhou Jun informed Fan Jinian of the news.
The latter teamed up with several chamberlains to hand over the brochure to the palace.
Dismissal of the palace staff is a problem for the saints. There are many troubles caused every year. Now someone is willing to come forward to help solve the problem. In addition, this person is Pang Zuojian, a highly respected member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How can there be disapproval in the palace?
reason.
Soon, the offer of household transfer to fill vacancies was approved.
Of the 1,200 dismissed palace servants in Chang'an City, more than 80 of them got rid of their lowly status and became good men; the remaining more than 1,000 people, under the arrangement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, began to work after the New Year.
From being an official maid, she changed her registration to a miscellaneous guest. She also signed a contract with Pang Gong as a master maid and was incorporated into the Bachuan market in batches.
What Zhou Jun had to do was to prepare food, clothing, shelter and jobs for these more than a thousand dismissed palace residents in just a few months before the coming cold winter.
