In the border war, Xie Rongzhao and the others couldn't do much, they could only try their best not to hold back their men.
Don't think that fighting at the border is just a matter of the soldiers at the border being busy, while the civil servants in the capital can sit back and relax.
They have a lot to do.
Not to mention the food, grass and armaments, there are still many aftermath matters that need to be considered.
Now that Xie Xiuwen has become the chief minister of the cabinet, he can't just think about political achievements. He also has to listen to all directions and watch all directions. He can't be careless anywhere.
The good news came two months later. Our army defeated the Turks and successfully recovered a city. This was a very meaningful victory.
Emperor Jingwen was also happy, so he naturally rewarded him greatly. Of course, he also did not forget that at this time, he had to pay attention to the families of the soldiers staying in the capital.
Xie Rongen performed meritorious service on the battlefield and was promoted to Lieutenant Zhechong.
Xie Ronghui was released less than a month after Xie Rongen's expedition. Fortunately, he was not too far away from home. He was appointed as the county magistrate of a upper county in Yunzhou Prefecture, from the sixth grade.
Shangxian actually means that the population is larger and the county is more prosperous.
Generally speaking, the county magistrate of Zhong County is the seventh grade. Just like Gaoyang County in the past, it was actually a Zhongxia County. Now it is a veritable Zhong County and is on the verge of reaching the upper county level.
Xie Ronghui brought his family to take office, and Liu Ruolan was really worried.
Mainly because the kids are still young.
Especially Zhuangzhuang, Liu Ruolan was always worried that their young people could not take care of the children well, so he had a strong attitude and asked them to bring a few more people.
Chen Jiaojiao herself had no shortage of money, so she bought a lot of things before leaving.
Xie Xiuwen asked Fang Hu to arrange a team of people to escort them to their posts. At the same time, he gave Xie Ronghui two letters in case of emergency.
"Although Ying County is a Shang County, there are ancestral residences of several aristocratic families there, which can be said to be intertwined. Although the Holy Emperor has greatly weakened the power of the aristocratic families in recent years, Ying County is far from the capital after all, so you still have to stay longer Don’t fight head-on with your brain.”
Xie Xiuwen has really dealt with that kind of people, and knows how dirty their hands are and how dark their hearts are, so he advises his son not to ruin everything with just one move.
"Don't worry, father, but don't worry, son."
"When you go to Yunzhou, you can go back to your hometown first and visit your grandparents for me. Your mother has prepared some gifts. You can take them with you when the time comes. Your third uncle and third aunt are now in charge of the family. , if you are in trouble in Ying County, you can also send someone to your third uncle for help."
"Yes, father."
"The place where the Cheng family's elder brother works is only two to three hundred miles away from you. If you are free, you can also exchange experiences together."
"Father, do you need to visit the Song family during this trip?"
Xie Xiuwen shook his head: "That's inappropriate. You are an official and he is a businessman. However, after you enter Gaoyang County, you can send your news to the Song family, and he will go to the old house."
"good."
Xie Rongzhao also prepared a lot of things for his two nephews and nieces to take with them, but he was afraid that they would leave for too long and forget about him. In the last few days, he came here almost every day, and even brought his own group, insisting that the three children come with him. Play.
"Sister-in-law, although Yunzhou is rich, it is not as prosperous as the capital city, and there are some things that are not sold in Yunzhou. You should bring these things with you. The pills in this bottle are prepared. I asked the doctor if they can be maintained. The medicine is effective for one year. It has names on it, so you should keep it carefully."
"Let my sister worry about it."
"Sister-in-law, what you said is just foreign. Isn't it the right thing to do? In addition, I also asked people to find two ginseng roots. Although they are not too old, there is no problem in using them as medicine. You should also take them with you. Yunzhou doesn’t produce ginseng, and the price of this stuff in Yunzhou is extremely expensive. It’s best if you don’t need it. If you need it, you’ll have it on hand, so you won’t be too panicked.”
Chen Jiaojiao felt warm in her heart, her sister-in-law was so considerate.
Most of what Xie Rongzhao prepared for them were some medicinal materials that were not very common in the south, but they were very precious.
For example, this ginseng, and several bottles of prepared pills.
"By the way, sister-in-law, you have to keep this. This Xiaoshi Pill was made by the palace doctor Liu. It is very effective. I remember that my daughter often accumulated food. You only need to take one pill of this, and it tastes good." It’s not too unpalatable, it’s sour and sweet, with a hint of hawthorn.”
Xie Rongzhao was thoughtful, and Chen Jiaojiao and Xie Ronghui were naturally very grateful.
Chang Yaqin also prepared a lot of things for them. Even if they don't use them themselves, they can still use them to support the occasion or make friends with local nobles.
Of course, in the name of Xie Ge's eldest son, it is estimated that Xie Ronghui will not be embarrassed in the local area.
Before Chen Jiaojiao left, she went back to her parents' house and told her all the preparations she had made. She also mentioned that her mother-in-law forced her to bring two experienced nannies with her.
Mrs. Chen was really happy for her daughter: "You are a lucky person. Your mother-in-law is considerate of you and never asks you to set rules. She is also so caring about taking care of the children. It shows that this marriage was not a mistake at the beginning. . My sister-in-law is easy to get along with, and your sister-in-law is always thinking of you. You, your good days are still to come."
Chen Jiaojiao chuckled. She also felt that her life became more comfortable after getting married.
When the eldest daughter was born, her mother-in-law was not dissatisfied, and even her husband never complained.
Moreover, everything about my daughter in the Xie Mansion is closely watched by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and everything she eats and wears is the best.
It can be seen that the Xie family really doesn't care whether they are a son or a daughter.
After her younger siblings came in, they never used their background to put her down, which was enough to make her feel at ease.
"If your cousin is as lucky as you, I don't have to worry so much."
Chen Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Why should mother worry too much? Her parents will make the decision for her cousin. After all, you are just her aunt. Some of the things you say are serious, and others may not appreciate them. You have to Complaining that you are nosy! And some words are said lightly, which is of no use at all and is a waste of words. In this case, it is better to just pretend not to know. "
Mrs. Chen smiled and patted her hand: "You! That's all, I just mentioned it casually. To be honest, I can't handle my own affairs, so how can I bother to care about other people's affairs? "
Chen Jiaojiao smiled and coaxed a few more words, and Mrs. Chen smiled even more.
"If nothing else happens, it will take at least three years before I can come back after taking office, and there is no chance that my grandson will still know me as an old woman!"
"Mom is still young! Besides, it will only be three years, so soon."
Mrs. Chen thought the same thing. With Xie Ge always here, Xie Ronghui returned to Beijing. Isn't it just a matter of words?
