"Have you finished writing Qingci?"
This was the first thing Xu Jie asked Xu Fan when he came home from duty on New Year's Eve in the Xu Mansion.
Now the emperor gave the green light to Xu Jie's reform of the department and the establishment of provinces in Liaodong, and Xu Jie was in agreement with the emperor's recovery of Hetao. It is the honeymoon period for both parties, so in order to go further, the New Year's gift words on the first day of the Lunar New Year must not be bad.
"One sentence left, one sentence left"
Xu Fan was quite speechless, and he had to admit that he was indeed not as talented as the brainless Yan Shifan. If I hadn't taken several puffs of Fushou ointment, not to mention missing one sentence, it would have been a problem whether I could write the complete first half.
Xu Fan couldn't understand why he couldn't ask the scholars of the Hanlin Academy to do this for him. But Xu Jie, an old-fashioned man, must let himself write it himself. As a result, I didn’t even have the chance to watch the Aoshan Lantern Festival outside the Meridian Gate that opened this afternoon.
"Stop smoking these things. The root cause is your restless mind. How can you carve out words if your mind is restless."
Xu Jie took Xu Fan's draft paper and said to himself Went inside to think.
After an hour, there was also a message coming from inside: "Bring in your good stuff, too. You must obey the old man, but you can't do it if you don't."
As Xu Fan mentioned the cigarette, Gun, both father and son became energetic inside.
Xu Jie can say that he never thought that the position of being the first assistant would be so comfortable. If in his own hands, the Ming Dynasty could regain the Hetao, establish the province of Liaodong, and turn around its finances, then he would almost be the best among the chief ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
Later generations passed down a saying about Xu Jie and Wu Yuqian, what an honor that must be. In fact, there are already such rumors in the Hanlin Academy.
It is said that the goal of Confucian scholars is to cultivate Qi Zhiping. He has been making great progress in running the country, and he is also very happy in running his family.
First of all, Xu Fan has finally become a little smarter recently. Although it is limited to after smoking, it is a big responsibility after all.
Secondly, the second son Xu Kun held a grand birthday party for his old mother in Huating, where the gentry and people of Songjiang Prefecture had fun together. Even Jiajing was given the title of Madam of the first rank. The second son, who was once naughty and mischievous, is finally able to do some serious work.
Finally, the third son Xu Ying has decided to join the imperial examination. Moreover, he did not avoid suspicion and went to a sprint class in Hangzhou for training anonymously, and then went to Nanzhili for reference. I have read a new policy review sent by Xu Ying, which is quite impressive. With these guarantees, my Xu family finally has a successor in their career. It's not like Xu Fan, whose reputation is not justified because he didn't have a Jinshi background. In the future, he is destined to be just his own appendage.
Unlike the two masters of the Xu Mansion who were concentrating on the words, the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion was still painstakingly checking the gift list.
According to Xu Fan’s instructions, a comparison table was rewritten to re-transcribe.
This comparison table is nothing more than a rewriting of names and units. For example, everything that is gold is fragrant rice, and everything that is silver is white rice. allJewelry is crispy rice, ten thousand taels is a hundred taels, ten thousand acres is a hundred acres, etc.
In order to meet Xu Jie’s requirement of being clean and honest. Otherwise, it would be so sad to let such a pure old Confucian scholar come into contact with such naked filth.
While the butler was concentrating, the disciple came to report that Zou Yinglong, the master’s student, had come to visit.
"It's already late at night and you still come to visit. Isn't this obviously just going through the motions?"
The housekeeper reluctantly went to the study to deliver the message.
Outside the door, the key did not speak directly, but knocked on the door three times first. Then Xu Fan opened the door and came out.
After whispering, the housekeeper turned around and sent Zou Yinglong away.
Obviously, Xu Fan was very disapproving of Zou Yinglong's sloppy treatment of his orders. But today is obviously the Chinese New Year, but I didn't bring any gifts, which is just a shame. Xu Fan didn't give him a good look either. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
