Chapter 1320: Can't be fooled

Mingyun was a man of action. Seeing that his wife had fallen asleep, he signaled the carriage to slow down, then got off to look for his aunt.

Xuemei had just finished writing her letter. "You said you wouldn't send a message back?"

Mingyun nodded, "Yes, I want to give my family a surprise."

Xuemei looked at the letter announcing the good news and said, "I think it will be a shock."

Mingyun smiled, "I think everyone will like this kind of shock."

Xuemei put the letter away, "I have no choice but to put it aside."

Mingyun raised her hand, "Thank you, aunt."

Xuemei smiled and said, "So many years have passed in a flash, and you already have children. Time flies."

Mingyun also felt emotional. He had forgotten what he looked like as a child. He felt a little uneasy. He didn't know if he would be a good father.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed and Zhou Shuren came back from the yamen with the appointment of Chang Lian.

Zhulan counted the days, "It's not clear when Dong will return, but she will be back soon. She got the news from me and will pack her luggage when she returns. She should be able to finish packing after the appointment."

Zhou Shuren, "Well, this time the appointment is urgent. Chang Lian must go to Qizhou in the south within a month and a half. By the way, Chang Lian is a lateral transfer. He was originally a sixth-rank official, and now he is the sixth-rank Tongpan of Qizhou."

Zhulan, "This is good."

A flat adjustment without any increase can reduce a lot of attention.

Zhou Shuren also thinks that the Tongpan is a good position. There are people attracting him from above, and Chang Lian can take the opportunity to find out about Qizhou. It can be seen that the emperor values ​​Chang Lian and has made arrangements for him.

The news that the third son of the Zhou family was transferred to be the magistrate of Qizhou spread quickly.

As soon as Chang Zhi entered the Hanlin Academy, he felt people staring at him. These people thought he was going to the south, even though he hadn't said anything. Now it seemed as if he had lied to them.

Liu Song's gaze became more complicated. He was staring at the wrong person. No, it was obvious that Zhou Changlian was just waiting to return to Beijing as planned, so he subconsciously ignored Zhou Changlian and concentrated on Zhou Changzhi who was waiting for arrangements. In the end, he guessed wrong.

Liu Song was unwilling but there was nothing he could do. No matter how hard he tried, the emperor had no intention of letting him leave the capital. He really envied the Zhou brothers and Shangshu Zhou's firm stance. Zhou Changzhi and his brothers had more opportunities than them.

Changzhi felt relieved after sitting down. Finally, no one was staring at him anymore.

Changzhi talked to his father, and his father told him that he had two older brothers supporting him, and that his path was different from theirs, so he just needed to follow the steps and take it slowly.

Chang Zhi did not feel unwilling that he had to achieve great things. He enjoyed the feeling of taking his time, and it was so nice to stay in the capital. His parents would support the family and he didn't have to worry about anything. It was a life like a god.

Chang Zhi touched the ancient books that needed to be repaired, his eyes sparkling. No matter how many jobs of this kind were given to him, he would not mind the trouble.

At the printing house, Rongchuan took out the latest printed album and handed it to Mingteng and Xuchen, "Take a look, both of you. This is the latest issue of the album."

Ming Teng flipped through it and asked, "Is this an introduction to herbal medicine?"

Xu Chen felt that he could learn so many things from his uncle, things that he could never get to know. "Is it printed because of the free clinic?"

Rongchuan, "Well, few people can read, so drawing them is more direct. These are common herbs in the mountains, and they are also the herbs used in large quantities in the clinic. Although they are not worth much money, they can still cover some of the medicine costs."

Xu Chen carefully put the picture album away, "Uncle Wu, is there anything I can help with?"

Rong Chuan smiled and said, "Although printing technology has improved a lot, the price of paper has not come down. So do you want more poor people to see the picture album?"

Mingteng looked up at the beam and said, "Well, this is newly built and the pattern is really nice."

Xu Chen, "......"

Although his father did not participate in political affairs, he never slacked off on his education. This clearly meant that he wanted them to donate money!

Rongchuan knew that he couldn't fool these two kids. Mingteng used to be so honest, but now he can't be fooled.

Rongchuan said: "Ming Teng has been with me for a long time, and Xu Chen is the prince of Prince Qi's palace. You are following me to learn skills. I will assign tasks for you now so that more people can see the picture album."

Ming Teng didn't even look at Fang Liang. He couldn't trick them into donating money, so he arranged a job for them directly.

Xu Chen was a little excited, but this task was not easy to do. Most of the time, he used it very well, but without any accuracy. His uncle was too calculating.

In a blink of an eye, Chang Lian was appointed to Xuzhou. He received the transfer notice from his superior and returned to the office to pack his belongings.

Chang Lian walked into the room. The lively discussion just now was paused. There was only the sound of breathing in the room. Chang Lian smiled and asked, "What are you discussing so enthusiastically?"

Zhao Ji clenched his hands. Zhou Changlian was transferred to Qizhou, which was also where he was going. He took a deep breath and said, "We were discussing your transfer. The appointment came too suddenly and surprised us. This is because you were not nice enough and kept it a secret."

Chang Lian had a sarcastic smile on his face. "Don't you think you know my father best? I thought you all figured it out."

Zhao Ji's mouth was stiff, "It was just a joke."

"For me, there is no joking when it comes to my father. The appointment urges me to go to Qizhou, so I will not invite you to dinner. Will I have the chance to invite you again in the future or will I meet you in Beijing if I have the chance?"

Chang Lian did it on purpose. He felt happy when he saw a few people's faces change. Humph, he would hold a grudge as long as it involved his father.

Zhao Ji knew that his last action had greatly offended Zhou Changlian. Thinking about spending the rest of his life in Qizhou, he now had a headache.

Chang Lian left the Maritime Affairs Department feeling refreshed. When he got home, he saw his wife packing her luggage. "The appointment has come down."

Mrs. Dong rubbed her waist. She was very tired these days. "It's so fast. I thought I had to wait for a few days."

"This transfer is urgent. How much luggage do you have left to pack?"

Dong said, "Some of the luggage to be transported back to the capital has been packed and can be shipped tomorrow. The remaining luggage can be packed in two days."

"Well, pack up quickly. We'll try to leave in seven days."

"good."

Now that she has been transferred, Dong feels relieved. Otherwise, she would always be worried and would not have a good rest since returning to Xuzhou.

In Beijing, Zhou's Yulu and Yuyi received an invitation from Miss Wang. Yulu rarely goes to the Wang family, so Yuyi asked curiously, "Second sister, are you nervous about going to the Wang family?"

Yu Lu, "Not nervous, are you nervous?"

Yuyi, "My second sister is not nervous, so I am even less nervous. But I don't have any contact with Miss Wang, so why would they invite me?"

"Maybe it's because of Third Uncle's transfer that you finally faded out of the spotlight, but now you're high-profile again because of Third Uncle."

Yuyi grabbed the handkerchief and asked, "Will it be dangerous for Dad to go to Qizhou?"

She has always been with her grandmother. Although her grandmother didn't say it, her mother left her younger brother in the capital, and it was obvious that the transfer to Qizhou was not smooth sailing.

Yu Lu held her fourth sister's hand and said, "Don't worry, Third Uncle has been away for many years and will take care of it."

Yuyi, "Yeah."

At the gate of the capital, Ran Wan looked at the gate and said, "We are finally here."

Mingyun looked at his wife who had lost weight, "Well, you can have a good rest when you get home."

Ran Wan covered her mouth with a handkerchief. This child was really annoying her. He had been vomiting non-stop since he was diagnosed. She suppressed her disgust and said, "Yeah."
