Chapter 2832 Farewell
After sending Zhou Liru away, Old Madam Liu sighed and said to the nanny, "Among so many children, the one I care about the most is actually my newly married granddaughter-in-law."
Mammy smiled and said, "This shows that the old lady has good taste."
"It's not always good," Old Lady Liu sighed, feeling even more melancholy. "The eldest daughter-in-law is already old, but she still doesn't have a sensible child."
The nanny couldn't bring herself to speak ill of Madam Liu, so she could only offer comfort: "Our husband is a carefree person, and he doesn't care about her. I see the bride doesn't care either, so why should you take it to heart, Madam? It's only because of you that you're feeling bad."
Madam Liu sighed and said, "As elders, we always hope that their family will live in harmony. How long can his grandfather and I live? Although Li Ru is capable, Huan'er will definitely live a better life with the help of his family."
The nanny smiled and said, "There is also the eldest son."
She said, "Big Brother and Little Brother grew up together. They are very harmonious and have a good relationship. Big Brother will definitely take care of Little Brother in the future."
Mrs. Liu thought about it and realized that it was true. She began to think more calmly and said, "Never mind. After all, the relationship between them as parents and children is not good. Later, we will sort out my dowry and pick out the things I don't need. Then we can divide them among the children."
The nanny agreed.
The next day, Zhou Liru returned home and the Liu family prepared very generous gifts for him.
Because Zhou Man and Bai Shan and their group were leaving Beijing today, Zhou Liru got up early, paid his respects to Old Madam Liu, and then drove home with a cart full of gifts.
Zhou Man was indeed waiting for her, so when Zhou Liru returned to Zhou's house, they had just finished washing up and hadn't even had breakfast.
Zhou Man said, "Then let's have breakfast together. We'll set off after you've exchanged greetings."
The Zhou family has many people, and none of their relatives are here, so Liu Huan's visit to the relatives was particularly smooth and quick.
After breakfast, Manbao changed his clothes and prepared to go out.
Old Zhou, Mrs. Qian, Mr. Zhuang, Mrs. Liu and others sent them out the gate.
Their luggage had been prepared long ago. Manbao touched his red horse, handed it to the guard, and went forward to bid farewell to his commander with Bai Shan.
Mr. Zhuang advised them, "Be humble and low-key when you are out there, and don't be too ostentatious."
Manbao and Baishan agreed together.
Madam Liu said, "Be careful and stay safe. Don't worry about your family. I'll take care of everything. If you need anything over there, please write to me and I'll have someone bring it to you from the capital."
Manbao and Baishan also agreed.
Old Zhou and Qian also told them to take care of their health. Qian said, "I don't understand officialdom either. I don't understand what you're saying about being demoted in order to be sent out to do work. But I just think that since you've received the emperor's salary, you should serve the emperor. Just listen to the emperor."
"But besides this, I have a few more words of advice for you," Qian sighed as she looked at the two children. "I can't read, and I don't have much experience. But having lived a long life and seen a lot, I can't help but think a lot. I don't know if Mr. Zhuang has taught you this. If he has, then I've only given you a few words of advice in vain. If not, then you better listen carefully."
"You are not wrong to accept the emperor's money and do things for him, but you should also ask your conscience when doing things. If you do something that goes against your conscience, we would rather not take the emperor's money." Qian warned: "Our family is not short of money now. Even when we were short of money, we never did anything that went against our conscience. Let alone now that we are not short of money."
Manbao and Baishan nodded seriously and said, "Mom, we've got it in mind."
Only then did Qian let them go.
In Qian's view, although Manbao and Baishan's official positions were lowered after being sent out, their responsibilities were greater.
She always thought that the two of them were children. Although they were officials in the capital, they had many superiors to support them.
But when they get to the local level, they are the superiors. If they do something wrong, it will directly harm people.
Qian sighed with melancholy. Old Madam Liu smiled at her and said, "My dear, our two children are both kind-hearted. Don't worry, they won't do anything bad."
Qian smiled and said, "I don't believe they will do anything bad, but I am worried that they will do something wrong."
Of course, Old Lady Liu was also worried. It was not easy to get into the officialdom. For example, who instigated Magistrate Luo's advisor to persuade Magistrate Luo to use fake medicine against the Luozhou Medical Bureau? This is still a mystery.
Lord Yu investigated carefully, and the Magistrate Luo's advisor only confessed that it was a merchant named Jiang who came from Jiangnan. He tried his best to please Lord Yu because he wanted to use his connections to get a pass to the Western Regions.
He gave him a lot of gold, silver and pearls.
During that time, County Magistrate Luo was worried about the evaluation. As County Magistrate Luo's advisor, he was naturally worried about his employer's worries, so he brought some of them up in his words.
When talking to Jiang the merchant, the topic extended to the matter of the Medical Bureau interfering with the work of the county government, and also mentioned the water robbery case two years ago. If the Medical Bureau had not already filed a record, this matter could be completely covered up as long as the governor's office was contacted. Even if it did not get a top evaluation, it should get a medium evaluation.
The lawyer actually thought it made sense at the time, so he kept talking in a confused manner and it became a matter of expelling the medical department from the local area, so that the county government could have full control over government affairs. When the evaluation came, this might even be considered an achievement, after all, solving major cases is also an achievement.
Old Madam Liu sighed, saying that in some struggles in officialdom, the truth might only come to light after the person dies, or the secret might be buried deep in some people's hearts forever and never be known to others.
I just hope everything goes well for Bai Shan and Zhou Man.
Bai Erlang, Zhou Silang and others sent the two people out of the city gate. There were already many people waiting in the pavilion outside the city gate to see them off.
Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu were also present.
What surprised Bai Shan and the others was that Lord Tang was also there.
So the first thing they said when they met was, "You're absent from work."
Lord Tang: ...
He glanced at Bai Jilang.
Bai Erlang immediately said, "I asked for leave."
He's been asking for several days.
It was obviously impossible for Lord Tang to ask for "several days" of leave, so he really did skip work. However, he was also very confident, "I came to inspect and saw that there were so many people here, so I couldn't help but stop to take a look."
He looked Zhou Man and Bai Shan up and down, nodded and said, "They looked in good spirits, so I just came to see them off and say take care."
Bai Shan and Zhou Man bowed and expressed their gratitude.
Lord Tang said with a smile, "You two are good. When Changbo was able to single-handedly bring Luojiang County from the lower county to the middle county in terms of tax revenue, I believe you two can do it too."
Yin Huo's words were simpler. He said, "I'll come to see you when the weather gets warmer."
Mingda also said enthusiastically: "I will also find a chance to visit you."
Changyu didn't like traveling far. She liked to play, but she didn't like to be tired, so after hesitating for a moment, she said, "Will I go too?"
Everyone looked at her belly, and Zhou Man said, "You'd better not come. You'll have to take care of the baby after you give birth."
Chang Yu waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "There are palace maids and wet nurses here, so there's no need for me to take care of him."
