Chapter 423 Before the Chinese New Year

Wei Wu said with a smile,

"This business is good, and I have made a fortune in silence. This year, due to changes in the land, I have exempted a lot of rent from the tenants. I think it will be better if I can collect the rent for the house next year and the rent for two seasons!"

Han Qi nodded with a smile,

"But... after the Chinese New Year there will be spring plowing, and there are two private farms that need to spend some money to repair the canal, buy plantings and repair farm tools, buy oxen and so on, and I'm afraid I will spend some money..."

Wei Wu waved his hand and replied,

"Of course, you still need to use the silver you should use!"

The couple discussed the cost of next year and prepared to buy New Year's goods, but they divided the labor. Wei Wu went to buy it for his wife's house, and Han Qi took her mother-in-law to make new clothes. She entered the famous Liangxiufang in the capital, but chose six sets in a fit of anger, and changed all the new items from head to toe to Wu. The happy Wu was so happy that he couldn't stop and he pulled his wife to the point of worry.

"A good wife, there are no six sets, just make one set. This store is famous for its expensiveness. It is also good materials and manual labor. Six sets can cost dozens of taels of silver!"

Han Qi smiled and coaxed her,

"My husband helped the shopkeeper in this store. He had already said he wanted to thank us. It only costs half the price to make clothes, but this time, after passing this village, there will be no such store. Making a few more sets is the advantage!"

Wu really believed it and nodded repeatedly,

"That's true, then do six sets, six sets!"

The New Year goods given to the Han Mansion, Wei Wu personally rode his horse to the mansion before the New Year. After receiving the letter, Wang took his son and his little daughter to greet him at the gate. Seeing his third son-in-law, he was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes. When he saw a truck of New Year goods behind him, he immediately said angrily,

"This kid... how much money does it cost!"

The two little ones were not polite at all. When they saw Wei Wu, they cheered and went up and asked,

"Three brother-in-law, can we have one?"

Wei Wu said with a smile,

"No one can leave you two alone..."

The family happily welcomed Wei Wu into the door. Han Shifeng saw his third son-in-law and was about to ask him if he had something to do.

"Shouzheng, come with me to the study room!"

Wei Wu quickly responded respectfully, but Wang was protecting his third son-in-law and said angrily,

"After this New Year, Brother Wu came to deliver New Year's goods, not to listen to your chanting scriptures. He didn't even eat tea after entering the door!"

But he pulled the third son-in-law,

"Stop listening to your father's long-windedness and follow Wei Mother!"

No matter how much Han Shifeng stared at him, he pulled Wei Wu into the front hall, first letting him have tea, then he arranged food, and waited until he had enough wine and Han Shifeng entered the study.

The Jinyiwei was full of energy and was proud of the spring breeze. However, all officials in the court lived like the New Year. Even during this year, they were trembling. Han Shifeng was in the Ministry of Personnel and had another son-in-law of the Jinyiwei. His colleagues and bosses had inquired several times openly and secretly. Han Shifeng was also a little nervous, so he pulled his third son-in-law to ask about the emperor's movements.

"Shouzheng, according to you... When is the emperor planning to find out this time?"

This search involves a large area, and then another search is another area. The one connecting the threads on the left, the one on the right, the one on the front, and the other on the back are endless. When will it be the end?

Wei Wu said seriously when he heard this,

"Your Majesty is serious this time, and it is hard to predict the holy heart. However, the eunuchs in the palace are all old men in the East Palace, and now they have done all of them. Your Majesty is willing to do so thoroughly, not to mention the officials in the court. This time, I am afraid that everything from top to bottom will be cleaned up!"

Han Shifeng said in surprise when he heard this,

"How long has it been, and it's not over yet?"

Wei Wu shook his head,

"You are the old Ministry of Personnel. You have been in the old officialdom for many years. You also know what the officialdom in Daqing is like now. Your Majesty has made up his mind this time and will not stop easily..."

"Then... there must be a time limit, right?"

Han Shifeng asked the questions his colleagues wanted to ask the most. Wei Wu thought about it and responded in a very obscure way.

"After all, we will be busy next year!"

As soon as this said, Han Shifeng looked shaking. Unexpectedly, His Majesty was so determined. This was to rectify the Daqing officialdom with his feet and his head was shaking three times. In this way, he would be so shaking out the dirty and dirty things that were seen!

Thinking of the bitterness on the face of his colleagues, he couldn't help but smile bitterly,

"After a while, it seemed like I had returned to the Hongwu period. Every day, officials in the yamen were taken away by the Jinyiwei. When officials went out, they had to explain their funerals to their families, for fear that they would not be able to go home. There were two chief officials in front of the Ministry of Personnel, one was the minister. If they continued to move, they could only move senior officials at the department level. This... the other was the earth and the mountains were shaken!"

Wei Wu responded when he heard this.

"Your Majesty's character has made up his mind. He said that the earth is moving, the mountains are shaking, and the mountains are shaking, and the mountains are shaking, and the rivers are overturned. I am afraid that it will continue to do it..."

After thinking about it, he told Han Shifeng,

"After the New Year, my son-in-law wants to go south. I'm afraid it will take a long time. At that time, my son-in-law will ask his master to take care of his family. If there is any news, he will send someone to report it. However, it is not as convenient as my son-in-law when he is in Beijing. If you feel that you can't hold on anymore, you will simply fall asleep and recuperate at home for a while!"

Han Shifeng felt even more sank when he heard this. His son-in-law's words were clearly to wake him up again. The days next year will definitely be more difficult than this year. So he asked Wei Wu again.

"What's your job going south?"

Wei Wu shook his head and said,

"This is a secret order, and the son-in-law dare not reveal it at all!"

He would tell his wife that he was the one who lived and died together, but even his father-in-law would not believe it easily!

He mentioned the secret order, so Han Shifeng naturally couldn't continue asking, so he pointed out,

"That's true, I know it!"

This year, the officialdom of Daqing was shocked, and Wei Wu was not at ease. Only after accompanying Han Qi back to his parents' home in the second day of the lunar calendar, he was recalled by the Beizhen Fushi Department back to the yamen in the third day of the lunar calendar. Han Jinyue also went to Yingtian with his grandfather, Old General Wang, after the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.

However, Wang was thinking about sending Han Man to Chengsheng Academy to study. When Han Man heard Wang mention it, his beautiful little face immediately wrinkled into a ball, and he pulled Wang's sleeve and begged,

"Mother, my daughter doesn't want to go to school!"

Wang naturally refused,

"Our daughter, from your elder sister to your third sister, are all ladies from the ancestors who have learned from the saints. If you get it, you will be an exception!"

How many daughters in this capital are unable to enter Chengsheng Academy, but their family has four daughters, all students of Chengsheng Maid. What a fortune! It is everyone envied by relatives and friends!

"Mother……"

Han Man's bright big eyes were almost dripping with water in his blink.

"Mother...I...I don't want to go..."

Wang just thought she had never been to the academy and was afraid, so she smiled and comforted her,

"Don't be afraid, your third sister is now teaching in the academy. If you go there, she will take care of you. I'm relieved to be with my mother!"

Aunt Miao, who was beside her, also smiled,

"With the third sister here, we are ten thousand people who can rest assured..."

Wang smiled and stroked his little daughter's black hair.

"We Xiaowuer also need to study hard. I can say that there will be another talented woman in my family!"

Aunt Miao also prayed with her hands together.

"If this is true, I will die with peace of mind!"

When Wang heard this, he spat,

"What stupid things are you saying? We are still waiting for a hundred years to live long. Watching Xiao Si and Xiao Wu get married and have children!"

Aunt Miao was kind and said quickly,

"I can't count the nonsense, and I don't ask for anything. I just hope that our fifth lady can marry a man as good as a third aunt..."

The two of them said a word, but they didn't notice that Han Man's delicate little face collapsed little by little, and even his straight shoulders hunched down, and his mouth was pouting to the sky.

"I knew I would definitely compare me with my third sister..."

When Han Qi thought of the careful "teaching" of her before getting married, Han Man felt a chill on her back. She knew her own affairs. When it comes to studying, although she is smart, she can't catch up with her even if she shoots eight horses. If her mother and aunt insist on letting her learn to be a "talented girl", then she might have to hang herself on a hemp rope before reincarnation!

No matter how Han Man resisted, he was ignored by the elders in his family. After waiting for the 15th, Han Jinyue was sent away, and then he sent Han Man to Chengsheng Academy at the end of the month.

This day was the day when Chengsheng Academy started school in spring. A group of students from all over the country rushed to wait in front of the academy gate, waiting for the bell to ring, and the gate opened and the mountains grew out to speak.

The carriage of the Han Mansion was also in the traffic flow and slowly moved towards the gate of the academy. Han Zhong was still rushing to the car. At this time, he was smiling and greeting people who were familiar with each other.

"Old Guo, you are here too!"

The bearded Lao Guo also drove the car and heard a greeting. When he turned around, he saw that he was an acquaintance and smiled.

"Old Han, why are you again... Which lady in the mansion I gave?"

Han Zhong smiled,

"It's our fifth lady..."

Old Guo laughed and said,

"Your master's wife really dotes on her daughter. All four daughters are sent to school..."

Han Zhong said proudly,

"That's natural... all the ladies in our family are well-educated and well-polite, full of poetry and books..."

While chatting, the two drove the carriage slowly forward. When they got the gate of the academy, Han Man held the book bag and jumped out of the carriage without Yue He's support. Han Zhong came over to Han Mandao,

"Miss Fifth, I'm still waiting for you here when I'm school next time. Don't run away and lose it!"

Han Man nodded and watched Han Zhong drive away. Then he led Yue He to the gate with his book bag in his arms. After mingling among the crowd, he listened to the mountain leader's words, he followed everyone in one after another.

When I entered the door, all the senior sisters in front took off their hats. She also learned to take off their hats, but immediately gained a lot of gazes. She couldn't help but feel uneasy and said in her heart,

"What are these people looking at? So many seniors are in front of you, why are you staring at me alone!"
