Qin Qiong knew that this was an opportunity to gild his resume. After gaining experience for a few years, he could become an official.
Except for those who followed Li Shimin when the country was founded, all other high-ranking officials in the court had to go to the local areas to gain experience.
This opportunity is rare.
Qin Huaiyu knew it was a rare opportunity, but he felt that Qin Qiong was in poor health and was worried about leaving.
If anything happens to Qin Qiong, Qin Huaiyu may not even be able to see him for the last time.
Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin are different. Cheng Yaojin is in good health, while Qin Qiong has a lot of old illnesses and falls seriously ill from time to time. Everyone in the court knows about it.
"Grandpa, but..." Qin Huaiyu was in a dilemma. It was difficult to be both loyal and filial.
"Uncle, what Old Qin said makes sense. Why don't we change someone else?" Xiao Ran remembered that Qin Qiong left very early. Normally, Qin Qiong didn't have much time left.
It is rare for Qin Huaiyu to be able to do this.
"Huaiyu is so filial, I am very pleased. You can stay in Chang'an City to take up your post. You also need to look after the bank. I will arrange for other people to go to the Western Regions!"
Filial piety is highly valued in this era.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Huaiyu bowed quickly.
"Get up!"
Qin Qiong felt a little regretful, but he couldn't say anything now.
The conditions in the Western Regions are definitely not as good as those in Chang'an City, but this is an opportunity.
"Chumo is leaving?" Li Shimin looked at Cheng Chumo who was eating skewers.
"Ah? Me?" Cheng Chumo pointed at himself.
"Your Majesty, this bastard of mine is not capable of taking on such an important task. I am going to let Your Majesty down. I would like to ask Your Majesty to arrange for someone else." Cheng Yaojin was very troubled. Cheng Chumo was a bit careless and had no brains. He had not learned the essence of Cheng Yaojin at all.
This matter is very important, and Cheng Yaojin doesn't want Cheng Chumo to go.
"Your Majesty, I am not familiar with these things..." Cheng Chumo knew this in his heart. Cheng Chumo was also reluctant to leave Chang'an City and thought it was a good place.
Cheng Chumo had not considered the matter of improving his resume.
Li Shimin also felt it, "Hahaha, that's fine, I'll change someone else."
"Xiao Ran, what do you think?" Li Shimin asked casually.
"Let Old Hou learn from Old Qin. He'll go over there! Uncle Hou is over there, so the money house matters should be no problem. If you really don't understand, you can send a telegram to ask."
"Hou Yulin...Hou Junji is in the Western Regions. He could go there, so that's fine. Huaiyu, go back and take care of him. Once he's familiar with the area, you can open a bank there!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qin Huaiyu said hurriedly.
Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were so drunk that they couldn't stop.
After eating, the two little princesses went to the grass to chase passing butterflies.
When I get tired of running, I roll on the ground.
The three idiots also rolled on the grass like the two little princesses.
It is still in the state of "no horseshoes in Asakusa".
Li Lizhi handed a bunch of leeks to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran always felt that Li Lizhi had ulterior motives.
"Young Master, try this."
Xiao Ran was resistant to this. Barbecued leeks were very common in the north, as were dumplings, buns, and pot stickers stuffed with leeks, but Xiao Ran didn't like them.
My hometown is in the southwest, and people there don’t eat leeks this way. I really can’t get used to it.
Xiao Ran still took the leek and said, "Wu Niang, do you know?"
"Know what?"
Li Lizhi looked suspicious.
"Nothing, do you like leeks?" Xiao Ran pointed at the leeks.
"I don't like it very much. It tastes terrible. Sixth sister, Seventeenth sister and the others don't eat it. Sixth sister said it's good for you." Li Lizhi looked at Xiao Ran curiously, "Young Master, do you know anything about this? I asked Sixth sister, but she didn't tell me."
"I don't know!" Xiao Ran quickly denied.
Li Lizhi looked at the two little princesses and three idiots rolling on the ground not far away, and smiled helplessly.
"Mingda's second sister is still young, so this is normal. It's normal for children."
"Yeah, before, I took my mother as my role model, hoping that I could become someone like her. I also hoped that Sizi and my second sister would be the same. I overlooked that they were still young and really needed to have some fun."
"It's okay to be happy at this age. It's natural to like to play." Seeing the little princess having fun, Xiao Ran showed an auntie smile on his face.
"Young Master, was I very fierce just now?"
The scene just now appeared in Xiao Ran's mind, "No!"
Don't admit it!
"Why do you feel afraid of me?"
"No, I didn't, really not." Xiao Ran thought to himself, is it so obvious?
Li Lizhi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Why are you so excited, young master?"
"Well, no!" The more he spoke, the more guilty he seemed to feel.
The little princess ran between Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi, "Sister, what are you doing~"
"What else can I do, sister?" Li Lizhi pinched the little princess's nose.
The little princess felt that something was being hidden from her.
"Hmph~ Little Nang-kun is in trouble~"
She came here specially just to say this to Li Lizhi. The little princess felt that her "little bag" was being targeted by her elder sister.
This is the little princess's sixth sense!
The little princess had no evidence, but that was her feeling.
"Okay, okay, it's yours, it's yours, okay?" Li Lizhi could only say yes.
"Mingda, do you want to eat leeks?"
The little princess shook her head, "Oh no~ chattering teeth~"
Xiao Ran was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. The little princess didn't like leeks because she disliked them getting stuck in her teeth.
Thinking that it was baked and should not be wasted, Xiao Ran started to eat it.
"Brother, try this." Princess Yuzhang came over with two skewers of kidneys.
Xiao Ran felt offended, "Sixth sister, eat it yourself. This tastes a bit strong, I don't like it."
"Hehe, this is good for your health. Are you sure you don't want to try it?" Princess Yuzhang gave a wicked smile.
Xiao Ran is now very sure that Princess Yuzhang must know about his kidney yang deficiency.
Li Lizhi took a look and felt a little resistant. She didn't like eating animal livers and the like because they had a strong fishy smell.
"Wow~ Butterflies~" The little princess ran away with Princess Chengyang and the three idiots.
“Hahaha~”
"Sizi, slow down." Princess Chengyang shouted out of worry.
The laughter and joy by the river basically never stopped. With the two little princesses and the dog there, it was very lively.
The other students from the Agricultural College sat together, eating vegetables and barbecue, and discussing the knowledge points that Li Lizhi had talked about.
When they had almost finished eating, the other people from the Agricultural College went back, and Cheng Yaojin and his companions did not stay any longer.
Li Shimin drank a lot and reeked of alcohol. The little princess was a little disgusted and didn't like the smell, "Grandpa stinks~"
"Hahaha!" Li Shimin didn't care what the little princess said. "Xiao Ran, you didn't let Huaiyu go to the Western Regions just now. Is there something wrong?"
"Uncle Qin has always been in poor health. It's a normal historical development. He died of illness in the 12th year of the Zhenguan period. Old Qin's worry about Uncle Qin's health is not an excuse. Uncle Qin's health is really not good. In two years, he may even have difficulty getting out of bed."
"This child is steady, sensible and filial, not bad..." Li Shimin had a better impression of Qin Huaiyu.
