It wasn't until after sending Qin Cha away and Zhu Zhilian also left that Cao Mei remembered something. That is, there is an additional marquis in Qingyuan City, and the title is higher than his uncle. "That's fine, Zhu Zhilian has added confidence, and it is also a blessing for the people of Baoding Mansion!" Cao Mei thought of Dai Wang's case and was slightly touched. Song Hou has a different view, the governor's mansion is in the same city, and the relationship is already delicate.

However, because of the huge difference in the grades of the two, they each went their own way, but it was also a matter of right and wrong.

Now, Zhu Zhilian is a marquis, and his title is one level higher than that of Cao Mei, the governor.

If the two have the same political views in the future, it will be fine, but if the political views are different, it will also be troublesome. Even if the prefect is identical, he can't shake the authority of the governor, but he will be used by others, and if the governor's office is dirty, right and wrong will be born. Cao Buan didn't take it to heart, and it was the emperor's art to divide power and rule.

Not to mention Zhili, even the other 8 far-away provinces, it is not for the governor to have the final say. Like Nian Qianyao, the situation is special, and it is because of the early years in order to integrate the war in the northwest. Today, it has become a disaster. Cao Xuan didn't feel embarrassed, but he was embarrassed by the big and small officials in Qingyuan City.

Qincha is the Qing Yuan of the 27th of the lunar month, and the prefect's yamen opened the middle door to welcome the decree, and how many people saw it.

In just two or three days, the officials of the whole city knew about Zhu Zhilian's marquis. Although it is just the incense before the sacrifice, the super 8 people are placed there, which should not be underestimated. The prefect's yamen, it cannot be said that the door is like a city, and it is also a constant congratulatory guest.

If it was in the early years of the founding of the country, everyone would be taboo about the Miao descendants of the previous dynasty; Now, nearly 100 years after the founding of the country, Zhu Zhilian is not a virtual marquis, he is still the prefect, and he may be transferred back to the capital to be a Beijing official at any time. Of course, there are many people who want to stammer.

The New Year, who will close the door to thank the guests, at this time, even the "congratulatory gift" with the "New Year's gift" together to pay homage, but it is the right time.

The officials of the whole city, even the governor's palace, sent a "congratulatory gift" to the prefect's yamen. It's not that Cao Yu wants to tie up Zhu Zhilian, it's just that everyone carries the sedan chair.

There are also many people who pay attention to his movements.

If he doesn't save face for Zhu Zhilian and falls in the eyes of outsiders, it will be a situation where the two are fighting.

Seeing that the governor's palace was courting the new marquis, the prefect's yamen became more and more lively.

Many officials have speculated that on the first day of the first lunar month, they don't know whether it is the governor's palace or the prefect's yamen that is lively.

The answer is obvious.

Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, the front of the governor's palace was tightly blocked by the carriages and horses of officials who came to pay New Year's greetings.

Even Zhu Zhilian, who was being watched by everyone, took his family to the Governor's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and everyone was blushing.

They also wanted to bring their families to socialize with the governor's palace, but they didn't have the qualifications yet.

On the day of the body, Liu Chuan came to send a greeting post, mentioning that Zhu Zhilian wanted to bring his wife and children to visit the New Year.

Zhu Zhilian's low profile surprised Cao Ming.

But then I realized that the other party was an old man in the officialdom who had been in the government for more than 30 years, and even if he had been in the prefect all these years, he should not be underestimated. If he was really a nerd who didn't understand the world, he would have been stripped of his official position for the people a long time ago.

Zhu Zhilian is interesting, and Cao Mei is naturally very welcome.

It's Chu Yu, who is quite excited.

The New Year's Day should have been lively, but now they are far away in Zhili, but there are only three of them.

Occasionally, there are female relatives who come to ask for peace, and most of them are the wives and daughters of officials under the Governor's Palace, and there are too many differences in grades.

This prefect's wife, Liu, came to Chu Yu once on her birthday, she was knowledgeable, docile and introverted, and Chu Yu had a good impression of her.

Hearing that she had come to be a guest, Chu Yu made a banquet be prepared, discussed it with her husband, and posted a post inviting two guerrilla wives to accompany her. The guerrillas are from Sanpin, and their wives are Sanpin ladies, and their rank is not the highest in Qingyuan City. But because they are subordinates of the Governor's Palace, and they are not subordinate to each other with the prefect's yamen, it is not rude to invite them to be escorts. If you really want to come over to a Taoist wife to accompany you, Liu will be uncomfortable.

Liang Chuanfu's wife, Zhao Jiashi, is in her forties, wearing a flag costume and slightly rich; Xie Tianlai's wife, Zhu, is dressed in Chinese style, looks white and pretty, and doesn't look like she is in her thirties at all, just like her twenties.

Zhao Jia's temperament is a little wooden and he doesn't like to talk much; Zhu is a clever person, can speak well, and the room is full of listening to her chirping.

She will not only flatter the host, but also do not forget to do her duty as a good companion, a cup of tea, "The mouth has changed the title, from "Mrs. Hou" to "Sister Liu" to Zhao Jia's "Sister Zhao" 0

Only Chu Yu's status is noble, she doesn't dare to come to the set of "sisters and sisters", but the title can also be changed to "Mrs." to "County Lord"0 is like putting their respective husbands aside and making a few boudoir friends. The atmosphere that was originally a little rusty suddenly became lively.

Among the four, the youngest Chu Yu is also almost thirty years old, and everyone's topic is inseparable from their respective children.

It's not the first time that everyone has come back to the Governor's Palace, and they have seen God blessed. I can't boast from God's blessing, even praise Chuyu's good fortune, and the three sons and one daughter are all grandchildren. Among the four, Liu and Zhao Jia married their daughters-in-law, and they had to say two more sentences. Chu Yu listened, just smiled and listened.

She is not afraid that there will be any discord between her daughter-in-law in the future, the Cao family inherits the family with filial piety, the elders lead by example, and the juniors are also obedient, without her talking, the son will not follow.

In the early years, I heard her husband say that she wanted her children to marry after eighteen, but Chu Yu felt that it was too late. In the past few years, the children have grown up, and Chu Yu is grateful to her husband.

Whether it is to hand over her son to the woman next to her, or to hand over her daughter to the man next to her, she is not at ease as a mother. Maybe when the children grow up and deal with things more thoughtfully, she can really let go. Only Zhu listened very seriously, and couldn't help but ask a few more questions, which made everyone laugh.

Although she is also a mother of four children, she has three daughters and one son, and her son is young, but only two or three years old, and he is still babbling. "Sister Zhu thinks it's early, and it will take more than ten years for your brother Jin to marry his daughter-in-law." Liu said with a smile.

Zhu said with a bitter face: "Brother Jin is my lifeline, thinking that one day I will give it to the woman next to me, my heart will be sour." Pity the mother of the world, I also have Brother Jin, so I understand why my mother-in-law didn't want to see me back then! "If you bring the elders in these words, it will be difficult for others to answer.

After Zhu finished speaking, he realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said: "Look at my broken mouth, fortunately, I am in front of the county lord and my sister, if I am in front of others, I will make people laugh at ......"

Zhao Jia's and Zhu's are old acquaintances, and they opened their mouths to relieve her: "What Sister Zhu said is true, the night my eldest married his daughter-in-law, I couldn't sleep well over and over. I just think it's a happy event, but it's still not a taste in my heart. always felt that his son was robbed, but he could only be angry with himself. It's good to have grandchildren, children are unreliable, they always have to marry, only grandchildren are their own. ”

Liu also echoed: "Exactly, when I see my grandson, where can I still manage my son?" Everyone survived from their daughters-in-law, who can laugh at whom? ”

In the midst of laughter, Chu Yu realized. I am no different from the Zhu family, every time I think of my son marrying a daughter-in-law, my heart is also pantothenic. Is this the case for mothers in the world? Think about how lucky she is when she marries into the Cao family, her mother-in-law loves her very much, and she is not dissatisfied with difficulties.

After seeing off the guests, Chu Yu mentioned to her husband that after the fifteenth day, she went back to Beijing to pick up her mother-in-law.

Originally, it was planned for Tianyou to pick it up, but Tianyou is already fourteen, half a young man.

Cao Xuan thought about it, if everyone in the house came to Zhili, the luggage and items to be brought with him, followed by the slaves and maids, and there were many things that needed to be taken care of.

It's good for Chu Yu to go back once, so as to save the old and the small over there, and make a mess again.

In a blink of an eye, fifteen years later, Chu Yu took Tianyou back to Beijing to pick up people, and the yamen also opened the seal.

I don't know how Zhu Zhilian operated, Dai Xingguo handed over a letter to Baoding Mansion after the year, avenged his wife Dai Wang's family, and sued the rich gentry Mao Renxing for adultery to death.

Cao Xuan didn't know the details, but he just asked people to investigate one or two in the Qingyuan County Ya, and in the case of Dai Wang, the Qingyuan County Commander took bribes and accepted 500 taels of silver from Mao Renxing. On the day Zhu Zhilian received the petition, he asked someone to arrest Mao Renxing and bring him to the case. The officialdom of Zhuyuan was in an uproar.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xie Tianlai's wife Zhu recognized Zhu Zhilian as a "clan brother". The two are fellow villagers and have the same surname Zhu, and such relatives are also common in officialdom.

In order to marry this relative, Zhu Zhilian bought two tables of wine and invited Xie Tian to come to the prefect's yamen as a guest. Who would want to stop, it has only been two days, and Zhu Zhilian has detained Xie Tianlai's cousin Mao Renxing. The most surprising thing is Xie Tianlai and his wife. You must know that this matter of recognizing Zhu Zhilian as a "clan brother" was still picked up by Mao Renxing.

According to his words: "A clothed servant has become a descendant of the king and Miao; My cousin's family is also in Datong, maybe she is the acting king. Zhu was moved by what he said, and Xie Tianlai also had the heart to receive assistance in the officialdom, so he had the move of "recognizing his brother".

Even took Mao Renxing with him, and went to the prefect's yamen, thinking that he had more relatives with real power. No, there is such a change. Xie Tianlai was shocked and went to the prefect's yamen to intercede.

Zhu Zhilian presented human and material evidence, and in the past half a month, he had collected all the evidence. In addition, several other lawsuits related to Mao Renxing were also discovered, including those who embezzled the property of shops and those who committed suicide by jumping into the water. Xie Tianlai is not a fool, he saw that Zhu Zhilian had a heart to do it, so he was angry and annoyed, and walked away.

He sent people to the capital to deliver a letter, but he also knew that far water could not quench his thirst, and when there was news in the capital, the case was probably closed. If you want to protect Mao Renxing, I'm afraid it's not easy. In a hurry, he could only grit his teeth and enter the governor's yamen to see Cao Wei. Cao Xuan has always asked people to pay attention to this case, and he is not surprised by Xie Tianlai's visit. In Qingyuan City, the only person who has the right to interfere with the prefect's handling of the case is himself, the governor and governor.

Xie Tianlai's face was full of sincerity, and he finally spoke: "Lord Duxian, Mao Renxing can't be judged. He is a person from Prince Zhuang's Mansion, and he is the external manager of Prince Zhuang's Mansion, and he is responsible for burying the property of the prince's mansion......
