Next to Hejiang Pavilion in Chengdu, the bustling wharf in the past has been separated by layers of soldiers. The two officials in purple left Hejiang Pavilion and came to the trestle, where they bowed to each other. One of them waved to the hundreds of men and women on the pier, and then boarded the official ship with a group of people. "I finally returned to the court. I thought I would never see this day again in my life." Xu Guangning sighed as he stepped onto the official ship. The old man who accompanied him was Wang Zhongxiu, who smiled and said: "The official family always cares about the bachelor, and there is no way they will let the bachelor stay out for a long time." Looking towards the shore again, his eyes were full of reluctance, and he sighed: "That's right. I never imagined that I would be returning to Beijing so soon." In August of the sixth year of Zhenghe, Xu Guangning ended his term as the prefect of Chengdu and returned to Beijing as the Secretary of the Central Committee. In the new system of Zhenghe, the Dazai Shaozai is also the Secretary of the Central Committee and the Assistant Minister of the Gate, and there is also a Secretary of the Central Committee and the Assistant Minister of the Gate to handle specific affairs. This position is only half a step away from the old system of participating in political affairs. Xu Guangning exclaimed: "Mao Ya just picked it up and said that the officials are not worried about me. It is clearly the new member of your family who wants to suppress Taishi Cai, so he turned out this old guy like me." Wang Zhongxiu narrowed his eyes. He smiled and said, "If it wasn't what the official wanted, how could Wang Fu find an old guy like a bachelor?" The boatman's song pole was propped on the shore, and the official ship slowly left the shore. The two entered the cabin and sat across from each other on the table. Continue the topic just now. Xu Guangning said: "Mao Ya, you are right. It is not Wang Fu's fault that I can be used this time, but the official's intention. Although Wang Fu has a virtuous reputation, he rose to power through eunuchship, and everyone in the world knows that. How could I vent my anger with him? It was only when I returned to Beijing that he realized that this was a mistake." Wang Zhongxiu advised: "The bachelor should show his calmness first, and then establish a foothold in the officialdom. Make a plan." With his fingers tapping on the table, Xu Guangning obviously had more than this in mind. He said helplessly: "I also want to be stable, but Wang Fu doesn't want to be stable. I'm afraid that something will happen to him as soon as I get back and force me to show my attitude. This is the case for all villains. If you don't take risks, you won't go astray. "Wang Zhongxiu brushed his beard and smiled bitterly: "The bachelor is right, this Wang Fu actually made a noise in the palace for Wang Chong's appointment" "You have everyone in the Wang family. Speaking of which, this Wang Chong. I really didn¡¯t expect that when I went to Luzhou, a tiger came into the forest and caused such a big disturbance. , No one in the court speaks anymore, the current political style is really incomprehensible. Thirty years ago, Wang Fu and Wang Chong would have been scolded. " Xu Guangning. Shaking his head, he was talking about Wang Fu and Wang Chong. But in my heart, I was thinking about the difficulties I would face after returning to Beijing. Wang Zhongxiu spoke favorably for Wang Chong: "After all, he has no background, and it is just a writing tool to appease the Department, not a strategy to appease the Department. I don't think Wang Chong has this ambition." Xu Guangning nodded: "That's right. Uncle. If you go to Beijing this time, you should be admitted to Imperial College." The two raised their glasses. What was in the cup was not turbid rice wine, but clear crab apple dew. Wang Zhongxiu said with a smile: "Thanks to the bachelor's words, he has experienced a lot these days, and he has some confidence. I also wish the bachelor a prosperous future, and Congratulations to the bachelor for being favored by the beauty." Xu Guangning quickly waved his hand and said: "Mao Ya, please don't harm me. I will have to bear the consequences if your wife from the Wang family hears this. The Liang family is just accompanying her. She has the intention to go to Bianliang to start another career. , since I have an old relationship with her, I just reached out to help her." Wang Zhongxiu laughed: "If the bachelor is really serious, he can still retain people" Xu Guangning only smiled faintly, and Wang Zhongxiu also knew the root cause of the matter and sighed with a smile. I said it was a pity and never talked about it again. Zhou Tao, the transport envoy of Chengdu Fulu who arrived at the beginning of the year, was a lustful person and coveted Liang Yuexiu. Just because Xu Guangning was there, he couldn't force him. Now that Xu Guangning has resigned, and it is Zhou Tao who takes over Xu Guangning's position, one can imagine Liang Yuexiu's future. Wang Zhongxiu also admired Liang Yuexiu's decision. Before Zhou Tao took over, she redeemed herself with Xu Guangning and followed Xu Guangning to Bianliang. This matter caused rumors in Chengdu. If Xu Guangning accepted Liang Yuexiu, it would become a personal dispute between him and Zhou Tao. Therefore, even though Liang Yuexiu wanted to be with her, he did not dare to take this charming and talented girl into his possession. "Yeah, it's a pity" Xu Guangning sighed not for himself, but for Wang Chong. He still remembered that Wang Chong also had his eye on the little dancer in Yuexiu Workshop, but it was a pity that Liang Yuexiu didn't want to give up. , this matter was delayed for a while, and then something happened to Wang Chong's father, which also delayed it. The little dancer is on the boat now. If Wang Chong knew about it, I wonder what he would think. ¡°Probably just like myself, it¡¯s just a pity. A man should focus on his future. Now that he has entered the capital and is at the center of the imperial court, he must be cautious and not be affected by romantic affairs. And Wang Chong, a young man who has obtained an official position and has a bright future, should not leave this matter behind.Keep things in mind. In another cabin of the official ship, Liang Yuexiu, who was dressed in cloth and without makeup, looked elegant and quiet, while the cardamom girl next to her couldn't hide her beauty even in cloth, and she frowned, which made people pity her at first sight. Liang Yuexiu said distressedly: "Daughter, you could have gone to Haitang Ferry. Mother would not have stopped you. Mother now knows the suffering of women." Liang Jinnu shook his head, hugged Liang Yuexiu's arm and said, "I will leave again. Now, who else will accompany you?" Liang Yuexiu smiled, but the corners of her eyes were wet. Being forced by Zhou Tao these days was like a nightmare, and she didn't want to think about it at all. If Zhou Tao were a scholar-bureaucrat like Xu Guangning, she would have forced herself to obey. But this person was only interested in her beauty and was not interested in her skills in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, music and dance. She had numerous concubines at home and treated her very harshly. There seemed to be rumors that she had tortured people to death. How dare she hand over the rest of her life to such a person? Although she was reluctant to do so, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and end her career in Chengdu and go to Bianliang to start over again when she thought about the terrible days of entering this family. Although she is nearly 30 years old, she still has the skills of coke and dance. Although people in the brothel industry value beauty, Bianliang values ????elegance more. People like her have their own place to stretch. Fortunately, Xu Guangning was very humane and allowed her to redeem her body before the power of the prefect was handed over, and even took her to Bianliang with her. When it comes to redemption, Liang Yuexiu has mixed feelings, which is like seeing people's hearts over time. When she returned Yuexiu Fang to Chengdu Prefecture. She also hoped that her daughters would follow her, but she didn't expect that. Except for Liang Jinnu, no one was willing to follow her. Yuexiufang is the official one. After she left, she changed her name, but it was still a place of great importance to the government. The treatment of Lehu women here was much better than that of ordinary brothels. Naturally, not many people were willing to go to Bianliang with her to start a new life. Liang Yuexu sighed: "But you really gave up on Wang Chong?" Liang Jinnu lowered his head and hummed, with a strong nasal voice. "My daughter can't bear to part with her. But without her to accompany her, what should mother do? After all, mother raised her daughter, and let's talk about him" The scenes of the past flashed through my mind, and the sedan chair served as a support for myself, encouraging me to dance boldly. Thinking of that At this time, my ankle seemed to be wrapped in a wave of heat again. That night, being his mouth, tongue and arms was an experience I had never experienced before. His trust, even that little dependence, was a wonderful feeling that she savored every night. "However, the pair are of the same age. Her appearance was not inferior to that of her sisters, which suddenly woke her up from being immersed in the expectation of happiness. She is a Lehu woman, she treats him. It seemed like just the icing on the cake, rather than a destined match. She looked around. In addition to appearance, dancing skills. Apart from the little help she gave him that night, it seemed that it was difficult to find something that he would fall in love with. In short, the more she thought about his kindness and what he had done for her, the more inferior she became and the more she became more and more inferior. Don't dare to face him. If he was still struggling to get rid of his father's sins, she didn't think about anything else. Just for that little kindness and the still ignorant feelings, she had to wait, even if she no longer appeared in front of him, she had to stay silently in the distance. Look at him. But now that he had become famous, she felt that she could leave without any worries. Liang Yuexiu also knew something about Liang Jinnu's thoughts. Thinking about how she had tried her best to stop Wang Chong before, she felt regretful and fortunate at the same time. She asked with some trembling: "My mother was not nice to you before, so I treated you as a child." "Why are you so kind to your mother when you are trying to make money?" "My daughter will never forget the kindness of raising her. Those days when my mother cried at night, my daughter was also crying." Liang Jinnu's answer made Liang Yuexiu unbearable. He stopped, held her in his arms, and choked with sobs: "My good daughter, my mother has really treated you badly before! From now on, you are my real daughter!" In August, the water was tight, and the official ship went down the river, and soon Just leave Hejiangting behind. Not long after, the official ship passed by Haitang Ferry. Looking at the bustling ferry, Liang Jinnu suddenly burst into tears: "Mom, I miss him so much!" Liang Yuexiu hugged her tighter, saying nothing in her mouth, but in her heart , then Wang Chong is also a heartless man. He was in adversity earlier, so it was understandable that he didn't contact his daughter. But now that he has become an official, he hasn't even said a word to her, so it's no wonder that his daughter is discouraged. "I remember last year when you were in Haitang Building and saw him leaving, you said it was okay if he forgot about you. Now you should say to yourself that it was okay if you forgot about him." Liang Jinnu cried after the persuasion didn't have any effect. : "My daughter can't forget it, and she doesn't want to forget it. She should remember it for the rest of her life!" Liang Yuexiu sighed, patted her thin back, and said quietly: "Mom was once like you, there was someone in my heart that I couldn't forget. However, Time can always fade away these things. "The river is rushing down, just like time, it never looks back. South of Haitang Ferry, in the Wang family residence, in the backyard where Wang Chong once teased Li Yinyue, two girls of 14 or 15 years old were busy doing their own thing. On their fair and jade-like cheeks, their eyebrows were exactly the same, but their eyebrows wereThe atmosphere contained in the space is completely different. The girl in a plain skirt was concentrating on pruning the potted flowers, and her tranquil aura came out of the dust like a fairy in a painting. And another girl wearing a red and yellow patterned trousers, playing with the abacus beads in her hand, mumbling words, looking lively and lively. "The net profit of the clean paper shop in July was 732, 460, how come the growth rate was only 6 percentage points, which was 2 percentage points less than the growth rate in June! The counter in the shop was Didn't you hack our money! How do people think so much now?" After the accounts were calculated, Yulian became angry, raised her abacus, and smashed it on the table. Xiang Lian educated her without looking back: "Are you confused by Brother Chong's stuff? That's the growth rate, not the total number! As long as the growth rate is positive, it will keep rising. If it's seven or seven every month An increase of eight percentage points will mean you have to turn over several times that year. I think you are too temperamental to settle accounts." Yu Lian weakly laid her head on the desk and groaned: "You think I want to. Ah, Fifth Brother Deng is no longer here, so I¡¯m worried about Lin Dalang, who doesn¡¯t even have all his teeth.¡± She stretched out her hand and grabbed it in the air, as if she was twisting the collar of a betrayed person: ¡°Brother Chong you won¡¯t do anything anymore. Come back, a diligent little bee is almost exhausted!" Xiang Lian remained expressionless: "I asked you to make potted flowers, but you said you were tired of it, and you were told to go to the academy to attend classes, and you said you would attract bees and butterflies. They all asked for it. " Yu Lian's thinking has always been very out-of-the-box: "I heard that Brother Chong is also very troublesome in Luzhou. Did that little Bo family lady come to the door on her own, or was Brother Chong unable to bear it? It doesn't matter. Looking for something to eat? " With a click, the scissors in Xianglian's hand cut off the main branch of a begonia. She said with a dark face and gritted her teeth: "How dare he!"
