After Dingxiang packed up the dishes, Qin'er took her kids to do needlework and thread with Hong'er and chatted with her family as usual.

Mr. Fei did not rush to teach Shi Chang to study, but instead held his purple clay teapot that he brought from Ba County to the capital and from the capital to here, and asked: "Zhixing, Yu'er's affairs are not as simple as he said just now?"

"I know I can't hide it from you." Han Xiufeng said with a wry smile.

Mr. Fei is so old and has a very clear view of people. He has long seen that Ren Yuer likes Han Xiufeng. He also knows that Han Xiufeng is dedicated and will never do anything that makes Qin'er unhappy. He knows more clearly that even if Han Xiufeng is interested in Ren Yuer, even if Qin'er doesn't say anything, Han Xiufeng cannot take Ren Yuer as his concubine.

After all, I am just a slave to put it bluntly, and Ren Yuer is a lady from the official family who is just a fake one. Her father has even died for a few years. If anyone dares to take her as a concubine, even if the court does not investigate, he will be drowned by the scholars.

During the Kangxi Dynasty, Zhu Zhixi, the governor of the river, who was famous for managing rivers, once took a concubine. When he saw it, he found that the woman named Zhang was actually from a scholarly family. He hurriedly paid a sum of silver to return the woman to his parents, and even wrote an article "Send a Maid".

The post says: I sent back to the Zhang woman before, but there was no big mistake. It was just that the child was angry, taught with kind words, and was not very careful, and I was afraid that the voice and color would increase, and it flowed into the maid. So I gave the clothes. At first, I was waiting for the year, but I wanted to return five or six days later, so I didn’t have any verbal banter since then, and it was still a virgin... I could just give this girl no big mistake and returned the jade to Zhao for a reason, and I understood it to her parents, the Chinese media Changyan so that this girl could choose a son-in-law in the future.

During the Yongzheng Dynasty, Guangxi Governor Jin Hui sent someone to Datong, Shanxi to buy concubines. After buying it, he asked the woman from the official family and quickly "returned her capital." Wu Diaoyuan, the magistrate of Dong'a, Shandong, bought a concubine from the Huai River and asked about her family background. He found that he was the granddaughter of a gentry family. Wu "feels sorry for it" and quickly sent her back...

There are countless such things, and only those rich people who have never seen the world dare to take women from officials or gentry families as concubines. Even if they have a promising future like Han Xiufeng, they cannot do that.

Thinking of this, Master Fei sighed lightly: "Why is she doing this? She always wants to repay her kindness. She finally thought about a way to repay her kindness, but you are no longer the boss of Houyi Hall."

"So it is a virtue to say that a woman has no talent. It is really not a good thing to read too many books." Han Xiufeng sighed and said helplessly: "Go to study a girl's school run by foreigners and learn the language and writing of foreigners. This will make it even harder to marry."

"Don't blame yourself too much. You can only blame her for being unable to think too much, and also blame what you said just now for being too much."

"Yanmata."

"Yes, I can only blame the Yanmata who is infatuating the crowd!"

"Second Master, you're really misunderstood Yanma." Han Xiufeng took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile: "Wang Naizeng also wrote a letter. He said that the girl school run by the British missionary Bi Zhiwen and his wife could not recruit good women, so they could only adopt more than a dozen girls who were not covered in their bodies and could not eat. The girls were attracted by the consulates of Britain and the United States and the foreign merchants in Shanghai as soon as they entered school. They planned to wait for the girls to learn their words and let the girls go to the consulates and foreign companies to serve as girls.

How could Su Jueming miss this opportunity? But in a while, where to find a trustworthy girl, Yu'er saw that he was at a loss and thought of the errands I did. In addition, Yan Mata deceived her to go to the girls' school for several days, so she simply agreed and took Lian'er with her."

"So she has to be a servant for foreigners after she finishes her studies?"

"No, the foreigners in Shanghai almost knew that she was my elder sister, so how could she ask her to serve tea and water? It is said that the foreigners thought she was an enlightened woman and took good care of her. She was not an ordinary student in the girls' school. Bi Zhiwen and his wife trusted her very much and asked her to help manage the business."

Mr. Fei subconsciously asked: "Those girls listen to her?"

"So Wang Naizeng advised her to return to Beijing together, but in fact he was happy to see it happen."

"This Wang Naizeng is really true. He actually asked a woman to inquire about the relationship. You still trust him so much!"

"This can't be completely blamed on Wang Naizeng. After all, it's not so easy to find out about Yiqing."

Thinking that it would be useless to sit here barefoot, Master Fei changed the topic: "Is there any news in Beijing?"

"There are, there are still many." Han Xiufeng put down the teacup and said lightly: "On July 11, the emperor ordered the cabinet, and the imperial edict said, "After the 27th day of the great sacrifice, he would take the ward off the ward after the grand ceremony, and to express his compassion for the empress dowager's humbleness and compassion, he had to follow the custody of the empress dowager. On the 12th, he ordered the cabinet, and on the grounds that "I dare not use my own gratitude to violate the great virtues of the empress dowager's humbleness," he issued an edict to the empress dowager not to be promoted to the Taimiao and be promoted to the Fengxian Hall."

Today, the emperor is known for his humility, kindness and filial piety. Master Fei Er can't believe this is true. He frowned slightly and said, "According to the Empress Dowager's will, the funeral ceremony will be simple. It would be fine to wear filial pants for 27 days. It is probably unreasonable to not be promoted to the Taimiao if the Empress Dowager's tablet is not promoted to the Taimiao!"

"This cannot be blamed on the emperor. According to the rules, there must be no more than three queens whom the emperor canonized or posthumously conferred. Since several queens of the late emperor... all left early, the late emperor had already conferred three queens, Xiaomu, Xiaoshen and Xiaoquan before his death. Therefore, there is a hidden secret that Emperor Kangci was named Empress Dowager Kangci. It is said that Prince Gong falsely passed the imperial edict and cooked the raw rice into cooked rice. The emperor could only pinch his nose and recognized it."

"This is actually something!"

"So the posthumous title of Empress Dowager Kang Ci is different from that of the other three empress dowagers. There are only ten words "Xiaojing Kang Cibi Tianfu Sheng Empress", and it is not the posthumous title of Xuanzong Temple." Han Xiufeng paused and continued: "As for Prince Gong, the Empress Dowager's mourning ceremony has not been completed, but he was dismissed from the Minister of Military Affairs, Zongren's Manchu General, Zhenghuang Banner Manchu General, and sent him back to the study room to study, so that he would 'know that he would be respectful and cautious, and not to take any more mistakes'."

Mr. Fei was secretly frightened and murmured: "There are many conciliations in all etiquettes... If it is put on ordinary people, it is really not a big deal. But Prince Gong is not an ordinary person, and he is not an ordinary funeral. The Qing Dynasty governs the world with filial piety, and filial piety is the first. This crime is not bad, and this name is not bad!"

"Prince Gong is young and energetic. Going to the study to face the wall and think about his mistakes is not a bad thing. If it were the case with Yongzheng Dynasty, it would be different whether he could save his life."

"This is, the emperor is kind!" Master Fei agreed deeply, thought about it and asked again: "Who is the military aircraft of the foreman now?"

"Wenqing Wenzhong Hall." Han Xiufeng touched the corner of his mouth and continued, "Wenxiang has been promoted again. Aren't he going to Tianjin to dismantle the steam engine? The emperor gave him an errand for accepting grain. After returning to Beijing, he was awarded the fourth-rank official and a Taoist rank. Then he ordered him to hold the funeral ceremony of the Empress Dowager of the Great Bank. He thought he would be promoted again after the errand was completed."

"This is the fourth grade!"

"It's not just him who was promoted, but Eun-jun and Datou have also been promoted. Eun-jun is now a guard of the Ganqing Sect, no longer learning to walk on the guard of the Ganqing Sect. Datou is promoted to a second-class guard and is also rewarded with blue feathers."

Han Xiufeng smiled and said as if he had known it: "More people were promoted outside the capital. Mr. Shi appointed Shun the Tianfu Zhizhong, Wang Qianli replaced him as the Tongzhi on the north bank of the Yongding River, Zhang Qingyu was appointed as the Heying Camp. Xue Huan was awarded the title of the magistrate of Suzhou, and Liu Cunhou was awarded the title of the magistrate of Jiangning. However, Jiangning is now occupied by Changmao, so he can only follow Jierhanga to lead his troops to attack and suppress Changmao of Zhenjiang."

"Are you promoted?" Mr. Fei couldn't believe it was true.

"Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang were captured one after another and were taken to the capital for Mingzhengdian. The rebellion parties such as Liu Lichuan in Shanghai were also suppressed. The emperor was happy that as long as the attack and suppression or blocking efforts were promoted, they were promoted. The monk king is now the most glorious. The emperor has appointed him as Prince Bodolgatai, and he will receive a plate of court beads and a four-group dragon jacket. He also issued an edict to inherit the inheritance and double his salary!"

"It's hereditary, so the monk king is also *******!"

"yes."

"Where is Shengbao?"

"Shengbao failed to suppress the thieves, was dismissed from office and arrested Beijing, and sent garrison in Xinjiang, and served as the leader of Yili with the Blue-Fedged Guard." Han Xiufeng thought about it and said, "The meritorious ministers who quelled the rebellion in Liangjiang and Zhili were rewarded, but Mr. Zeng Guofan, who was quelling the rebellion in Huguang, was still as good as me."

Mr. Fei asked in a low voice: "I asked Hu Linyi to act as the governor of Hubei, but I did not give Mr. Zeng a real shortage. What is the intention of those princes and ministers in the court?"

"Is this still necessary? Is this a concern that Lord Hu and Lord Zeng have a heart of the same mind. It is said that Wen Zhongtang and Lord Sushun have spoken for Lord Zeng more than once, and want to ask the emperor to order Lord Zeng to act as the governor of Huguang, but Lord Peng, Lord Zhou, Weng Xincun and other Han ministers strongly opposed it, so the emperor ordered General Wen of Jingzhou to act as the governor of Huguang."

"Mr. Zeng is a big tree that attracts wind!"

"So it's not good to be too famous and have too high prestige." Han Xiufeng sighed lightly, and suddenly changed his tone: "What I am worried about now is Wen Xiang. His official position has been promoted faster than Lord Zeng back then. Wang Naizeng said in the letter that Cao Yuying might have been making trouble in front of Lord Sushun because he failed to become the real shopkeeper of "Houyi Hall". Lord Sushun not only doesn't like Wen Xiang very much, but even Enjun."

Master Fei Er realized the seriousness of the problem and couldn't help asking: "What should I do?"

"I, a registered magistrate in the village, don't care about their affairs, and can only wait and see," Han Xiufeng thought for a while and said solemnly: "If Wen Xiangxiang had the errand of the queen's funeral ceremony of the Grand Bank, I would have nothing to worry about for the time being. If he was promoted after finishing the errand, as a Manchu, he had always looked down on Manchu Sushun, then he might not have been as simple as not to like him."

"Why don't you write letters to them separately..."

"It's useless. Not only is it useless to write it, but it can't even be written. If they really fight, I will submit a memorial to ask my mother to stay in my hometown to end my retirement mother, so as not to go to the capital to get stuck in the middle of them."

"You have to think carefully about this matter. It is easy to ask for it. But what if you do about your future, will you be delayed?" Mr. Fei said anxiously.
