Chapter 443 Showing Love (1)
After Jiang Hongfu reported to the government office, he went to see Liu Biyuan.
Liu Biyuan said to Jiang Hongfu with a smile on his face: "Brother Jiang Xian is really a good-looking talent!" This is not a compliment, Jiang Hongfu is really good-looking.
Jiang Hongfu said with a smile: "Master Liu is too much."
Liu Biyuan and Yan Run said embarrassingly: "Master Liu, Brother Jiang Xian's words are too outlandish." With that intimate appearance, those who don't know think Jiang Hongfu is his own brother!
Jiang Hongfu said calmly: "My lord, when will I be able to take up this post?" Since I'm here to take up the post, naturally I have to take up the post quickly.
Liu Biyuan asked: "I forgot, Brother Jiang, do you know water conservancy?"
Jiang Hongfu is familiar with water conservancy, but he won't talk too much. Jiang Hongjin said politely, "I know a thing or two."
Liu Biyuan laughed and said: "My dear brother, you are so polite. It just so happens that the governor has been talking about useless manpower. Since my virtuous brother understands water conservancy, it is just the time to relieve the governor's urgent need. My virtuous brother rests for two days first, and after two days, he will go to the same place. state job."
Tongzhi is in charge of local salt supply, grain supply, river defense, river engineering, water conservancy, and clearing up military registrations. Except for the river engineering and water conservancy, other Yuxi will not let him get involved. Jiang Hongfu had a special status. If he was asked to assist Liu Biyuan in managing matters such as salt, food, and military registration, he would find out a lot of things.
Jiang Hongfu nodded and said: "There is no need to rest for two days, I will go to Tongzhou tomorrow." Jiang Hongfu is not stupid, how can he not know that he is being guarded by others. It's just that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. And at least he was given an errand instead of making him empty or making things difficult for him.
When returning, master Ye Guangqin said: "Master, by doing this, Mrs. Han obviously does not want you to stay in Pickaxe City." Building water conservancy is a good thing, but the officials in charge of it have to stay at the construction site. Like Tan Tuo, this is why he is often not in Pickaxe City.
Jiang Hongfu said with a smile: "Tongzhi was originally in charge of water conservancy affairs, and if I assist Governor Tan, no one can make a mistake!"
Ye Guangqin frowned and said: "The Han family is so guarded against us, it is very difficult for us to act." This time the emperor sent him here to collect information. If you go to a rural mountain village to build dams and canals, what news can you find out.
Jiang Hongfu glanced at Ye Guangqin, and said: "I was sent by the imperial court, it's normal for the Han family to be on guard. There is one thing I have to remind you, don't act rashly here, or I won't be able to save you." Ye Guangqin put on a bright face. It was Jiang Hongfu's master, actually a member of the imperial court. Jiang Hongfu was also caught as a weak point, so he had to take Ye Guangqin with him.
Ye Guangqin's ability to be sent to inquire about news also has his own merits: "Don't worry, I won't take any risks."
Yun Qing knew that Jiang Hongfu was going to Tongzhou, and he would go tomorrow, so he said, "Cousin, why are you in a hurry, take a rest for two days before you go."
Jiang Hongfu shook his head and said: "I have been delayed on the road for too long, and I must go to work as soon as possible. Besides, it is different now. It only takes two days to take a carriage from Tongzhou to Haocheng. If we want to get together in the future, we can do it anytime. .”
Yun Qing didn't force it anymore, he patted Jiang Hongfu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since you have decided, I won't force you. By the way, when will younger siblings come over? You have met Zao Zao and Liu Er, I haven't seen your three children before!"
Jiang Hongfu paused, shook his head, and said, "My grandmother is also sixty and five years old this year. The Min family took their children back to the south of the Yangtze River to fulfill my filial piety. She can't come to the northwest for now."
Hearing this, Yun Qing asked: "Yesterday you said that you stayed in Jiangnan for several years. It's fine, why did you go to Jiangnan?"
There is a saying that family ugliness should not be publicized, Jiang Hongfu did not intend to harm him, he went to Jiangnan in desperation to save his life.
Jiang Hongfu said with a smile: "Grandma was not in good health at the time,
My father was busy with work and couldn't leave, so he asked me to go back to visit my grandmother. There are many famous teachers in Jiangnan, so I stayed there. "
Yun Qing was not stupid, how could he not know that Jiang Hongfu was hiding something from him. But since Jiang Hongfu didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask any more questions: "As the saying goes, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou in the heaven above, and it's good for younger brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces to be in the south of the Yangtze River. Your sister-in-law and Zao Zao are going to Jiangnan for a walk."
Jiang Hongfu's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face. He said with a smile, "Okay! Then I'll show you around, cousin."
At night, Yunqing said to Yuxi: "The younger siblings and the three children may be taken hostage by the court."
Yuxi was a little surprised, and asked, "How do you know this?"
Yun Qing explained Jiang Hongfu's behavior at that time: "If the Min family really took their children back to the south of the Yangtze River to fulfill their filial piety, my cousin would not have such an expression."
Yuxi was not surprised, and said: "If you don't control his weaknesses, how can you make him work hard?" Yuxi also knows that Yunqing and Jiang Hongfu have a deep relationship, but no matter how deep the relationship is, it is not as important as his wife and children.
Yun Qing smiled wryly and said: "My cousin has been calm since he was a child. Today's actions must be intentional. Yuxi, cousin, he can't help himself." He doesn't blame Jiang Hongfu, even if they are as close as brothers , but compared with Jiang Hongfu's family and clan, his weight is still too light.
Yuxi did not deny Yun Qing's words: "In this world, who can live a happy life? If we were not forced to have no way out, we would not take this way." Although occupying the northwest, there are still many crises .
Yun Qing was silent for a while and said: "It's good to have him help Tan Tuo build the dam." The dams and canals are all in the mountains, and letting Jiang Hongfu do this can also prevent the brothers from turning against each other.
Yuxi smiled, and said: "He Rui, if he dares to tamper with the project, I will not spare him." The water conservancy project is related to the livelihood of the people. If Jiang Hongfu even dared to do this, it proves that he has no lower limit to what he can do. She will not stay with such a person.
Yun Qing immediately shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Ah Fu will definitely not do such a thing. The Jiang family has stood for a hundred years, and they have their own principles."
Yuxi nodded and said, "I hope he can be worthy of your trust." In fact, it was Yuxi's intention to ask Jiang Hongfu to assist Tan Tuo. With Tan Tuo watching, if Jiang Hongjin really had bad thoughts, he wouldn't be afraid of making trouble.
Yun Qing felt a little heavy.
Yu Xi said: "He Rui, Zao Zao, Liu Er, Uncle Huo and Xu Wu are the people closest to you." After all, it's just that Yun Qing doesn't hold enough weight in Jiang Hongfu's heart . If it was Xu Wu and Yu Cong, even if their wives and children were captured by the enemy, they would not betray Yun Qing.
Yunqing held Yuxi in his arms.
On the second day, Han Ji came over and reported something to Yu Xi: "My lord, the yams planted in October last year were harvested yesterday, and I harvested 386 catties for two points of land." It is equivalent to one point of land. I collected 193 catties of potatoes.
When Yuxi heard this, a smile appeared on his face: "It's more harvested than last year." This means that this potato can be planted at least twice a year, which is the best news.
Han Ji said happily: "Princess, when the common people plant this potato, they will no longer have to worry about food." Everyone knows that there is a shortage of food in the Northwest.
Yuxi rewarded several farmers who planted yams.
After the afternoon nap, Yuxi went to the front yard and looked at Xu Wu's expression a little strangely, and asked, "Just say what you have to say!" Xu Wu is not a person who can hide his thoughts, he will show everything.
Xu Wu said hesitantly: "Princess, I told you, don't be in a hurry!" This matter can't be hidden, let alone wait for two days for the concubine to know, he must be punished.
Yu Xi didn't wait for Xu Wu to speak, she became anxious: "Did something happen to the prince?" After Yu Xi said that, she knew that she had thought too much, and seeing Xu Wu's calm look, she also knew that Yun Qing would be fine.
After hearing this, Xu Wu couldn't help muttering in his heart. No wonder the prince always said that his wife likes to think wildly, this is true. Thinking of this, Xu Wu hesitated again. Originally, that matter was fine, but if Madam knew about it, it would not be beautiful after thinking about it.
Yu Xi said: "Tell me, what is it that makes you so embarrassed?" It is rare to see Xu Wu like this.
Xu Wu weighed it in his heart for a long time, and finally said: "When the prince went to the military camp in the morning, he was stopped by a woman." Seeing that the expression on Yuxi's face did not change, Xu Wu continued: "The woman stopped the way." The general said that her family is going to make an engagement for her, but she only has the prince in her heart, and if she wants to marry, she will only marry the prince, and she doesn't want to marry anyone else..." Yun Qing couldn't continue with the words that followed.
Seeing that there was no reply for a long time, Xu Wu couldn't help but look up, and saw Yu Xi's face was frosty. Xu Wu suddenly felt very cold, and shivered unconsciously.
Yuxi laughed back angrily, and asked: "Who taught such a shameless girl?" The folk customs in the northwest are tough, and women are relatively less restrained. But no matter what, no girl ran to a married man and yelled loudly that she wanted to marry him.
Xu Wu said cautiously: "It's the Sun Yulian who is known as the number one beauty in the city of Hao." After speaking, Xu Wu explained: "When Liu'er was one year old, I came to the mansion. I don't know if the princess still has any impression Xu Wu actually has an impression, after all, that woman is really beautiful, standing out from the crowd, it's hard not to notice it.
Yu Xi sneered and said: "The number one beauty? I think it's more or less the number one idiot." This woman is either insane or her brain is full of tofu dregs, otherwise she wouldn't have done such a thing. Such a commotion not only ruined the face of the Sun family, but also made it difficult for other girls in the clan to marry in the future.
Xu Wu also felt that this Sun Yulian was stupid, no one knew the name of his concubine. Under such circumstances, she dared to covet the prince. With her concubine's character, Xu Wu would have to mourn for this woman. Well, I have to mourn for the Sun family too.
