Chapter 107: The white and tender girl is so tender that she is about to be squeezed out of water.
Just as she was counting the fish in the pond, she saw Xie Jian and Lu Ji'an coming out from the round door of the back house. She didn't know what Xie Jian said, but Lu Ji'an raised his hand and tapped his forehead.
As Chen Heng passed by, she heard Master Lu say, "If I were that kind of teacher, how could I allow someone to entrust their children to me? Xuan means danger. I gave you the courtesy name Zixuan to remind you that officials are always in danger. If you don't constantly reflect on yourself, your mind will be clouded, and when disaster strikes, it will be too late to regret."
Zixuan? Was Xie Jian's name given by Lu Ji'an? Apparently that's the meaning. With that explanation, it's a long way to go.
Xie Jian pursed his lips tightly, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he saw Ah Heng coming over from the corner of his eye.
"Lord Lu." Seeing that the two men had already noticed her, Chen Heng stepped forward and bowed: "Chen Heng wishes you a happy future and a prosperous career."
A smile flickered in Lu Ji'an's warm eyes: "Madam Shen is becoming more and more eloquent. I am happy to hear this from the bottom of my heart. With your father A Jian by my side, I will feel more at ease even if I go to the imperial capital to take up my post."
Xie Jian was silent for a while, then said, "The students will remember what the teacher just said."
In the evening, four tables came to congratulate Lu Ji'an on his promotion. They were all people from the yamen. There were two tables for men and two tables for women, separated by a curtain.
Because the etiquette was not extended to common people, these women only knew to keep a distance between men and women, and had no other concerns at all.
At the end of the meal, a few women who had been drinking brought everyone to congratulate Lord Lu.
The farewell banquet ended when night fell.
After a long time, life returned to normal.
What was gratifying was that her grocery store hired five errand boys, and they earned 10 taels of silver a month just from their net income. Shen Heng raised Liu Gang's monthly salary from 600 wen to 800 wen, and if the harvest was better, she would be able to give him 100 taels of silver.
We have to wait until next year anyway.
Chen Heng then thought, she will go to the imperial capital in September at the latest, what will happen to her shop then?
Liu Gang is a trustworthy clerk, but this young man does whatever she says and rarely has his own ideas. He can only maintain the status quo. If she, as the shopkeeper, is not capable, it will be extremely difficult for the shop to develop.
The plum rain season this year was extremely long, lasting for more than a month. This day was also the day when we sent Lord Lu to the imperial capital.
The scene was extremely spectacular, with all the elders in the city seeing him off at the city gate.
Many elderly people with the surname Qi shed tears, especially those who were rescued during the snowstorm, all knelt to bid farewell to their benefactors.
"Sir, please be more protective."
"Yes, sir, please take good care of yourself."
"Fellow villagers, please take care of your health." Lu Ji'an said his final goodbye to everyone.
Shen Heng had never experienced such a scene in modern times, but she felt that it was extremely rare for an official to be recognized by most of the common people. She felt that it was worthwhile to be a human being in this world.
Although when I first arrived, the people around me showed the coldness of human nature to the fullest, but when I think about it, aren’t there countless good deeds and good deeds among ordinary people?
However, the coldness of human nature was passed down by everyone. For example, when the concubine of the Shen family died, it was said that it was the trick of the main wife Yao. A student from the college visited a brothel and was finally thrown at the college gate wearing a woman's bellyband. These things are still talked about with relish.
