Chapter 605 Everyone goes back to their homes to prepare for the New Year
"When he returns to Daliang towards the Huo family and passes by Dianzhou, I will definitely serve him a drink to welcome him!"
Mingjia left a few words and left the hall with Cheng Si and Lingquan. The rest was the Huo family's business.
"Uncle Cheng, please remember to find a chance to talk to Huo Zelin and report to the government office before the first month of the year!"
Mingjia left the Huo family and went straight to the city gate. Thirteen and Fourteen were already waiting for Mingjia outside the city.
Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Lingquan protected Mingjia and returned to Dianzhou first. Chengwen, Cheng Si and other big Lius arrived and transported some fruits back.
"Let's go! Go home for the New Year!"
Mingjia gave the order and took the lead in waving his riding whip and rushed out. Finally, he could go home in peace to celebrate the New Year.
……
Ming Jun separated from the Emperor's carriage team outside the city. He planned to go to Zhuangzi to stay one night before entering the capital at the wrong time.
A few days ago, the Supreme Emperor decided to return to Beijing. Naturally, Ming Jun returned to Beijing together, while Huang Jiawen changed his route to Xuzhou.
Mingjun’s study tour was very fruitful, and it can even be said that he benefited a lot!
In terms of knowledge, Mingjun competed with many students from Jiangnan in a very short period of time.
At the end of every debate and poetry meeting, Ming Jun and Huang Jiawen would record and analyze it. Generally speaking, there was a winner or loser.
In terms of gaining knowledge and knowledge, Ming Jun was even more eye-opening. Many officials and young men changed their strategies when they saw that they could not benefit from studying.
Ming Jun and Huang Jiawen received a lot of greeting gifts and a large number of greeting cards. When they were worried about how to deal with it, Eunuch Li came to deliver the emperor's oral instructions.
The Supreme Emperor ordered Mingjun and Huang Jiawen to hold a poetry party together. As for who to invite to participate, they need to communicate with Shen Qing in advance.
Most Suzhou officials would send a copy of the post to their homes, but which official's family didn't have several scholars, and even some aristocratic families had several generations of scholars.
Ming Jun heard that there was a family whose youngest son and grandson were close in age, and they almost got into action over a post.
It happened that the two scholars, Ming Jun and Huang Jiawen, had an impression that although they were a little arrogant, they were both talented and learned.
Finally, Mingjun sent someone to send another post, which was a gesture of goodwill and a kind reminder.
After all, if Ming Jun knew it, it meant that the Supreme Emperor must also know it.
Ming Jun reminded the officials and aristocratic families in Suzhou to restrain themselves so as not to be embarrassed in front of the Supreme Emperor.
There were several scholars in the inn who had also come to Suzhou to study together. They sat around and were upset.
Because their parents were also officials in the court, but they were not in Suzhou, and this time they were on a low-key study tour with few servants and guards.
"If the Supreme Emperor holds a poetry meeting in Yuzhou, we will have a chance to get the post, but now we can only watch!"
"Oh~!"
While several scholars were sighing, Huang Jiawen took the boy to the inn, found the small courtyard and knocked on the door.
"This is a post for the poetry meeting in three days. I would like to invite you to appreciate it!"
Huang Jiawen handed over the post with a warm smile, which made several scholars a little confused, but they all quickly reached out and took the post.
Who is coming! Naturally, several scholars from Yuzhou knew each other. After all, Huang Jiawen was famous for being a scholar, and he was famous for his talents.
"Master Huang, why did you send us this post?"
I'm happy to be happy, after all, they are all officials' children, and they always have some sense of crisis.
Huang Jiawen looked at the speaker, clasped his hands in a scholarly salute.
"This must be Mr. Li Shuan Li!"
"I am Li Shu'an, Mr. Huang, do you know me?"
"Four years ago, Li Gongzihui, whose ancestral home is in Xuzhou, took part in the imperial examination. He once helped a young master at the Embarcadero, who was my junior brother!"
Huang Jiawen explained why he sent the post to Li Shuan. In fact, it was Mingjun who was supposed to send the post, but he met Shen Qing when he went out.
After hearing the whole story, Shen Qing suggested that Huang Jiawen send the post on his behalf, and only said that he was a fellow junior.
Mingjun thought about it and felt that it was a good choice to repay the previous help and not cause other troubles to Mingjia.
So, in the end it was Huang Jiawen who sent the post!
Mingjun and Huang Jiawen must not be able to hide the fact that they send posts privately, so there are more cases where the two of them are bumped into by chance while walking on the road.
As a result, Mingjun and Huang Jiawen received a lot of gifts, and even the business of Suzhou Shiqulou boomed.
Suzhou Shiqu Building changed owners at the beginning of the month, opened in the middle of the month, and recovered its investment by the end of the month. The sales volume was astonishing.
So... in terms of money, Mingjun also made a lot of money and returned to the capital.
As soon as Mingjun entered the city, he saw Lao Lu waiting at the street tea stall. He immediately got off his horse and said hello to Lao Lu, and then they went back to Taifu's Mansion together.
"Lu Bo, long time no see! Is Amanke back?"
"Back to the eldest son, Aman has been back for more than half a month. He was originally going to come over today, but you sent a message saying that you want to clean up the new warehouse..."
Mingjun nodded, he brought back a lot of things this time!
Most of the gifts purchased from Suzhou were sent back to the capital in advance, but there were some more expensive ones that Ming Jun personally brought back.
Xie Boyuan entered the palace, but his uncle Xie Boyu did not move to the Taifu Mansion. Ming Jun was the only master when he returned to the Taifu Mansion.
Mingjun took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and looked like a handsome young man again. Mingjun looked at the sky and estimated the time.
First, Aman was asked to find a brocade box, and then Ruying was asked to get on the carriage, leave the house and go straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.
When Xie Boyuan came out of the palace, Lao Lu greeted him and told him that Ming Jun had arrived home safely.
Xie Boyuan knew that the Emperor had returned to the palace yesterday, and was summoned to the palace again today to discuss matters. However, he had already inquired about Ming Jun's situation from Eunuch Li.
"Let's go back home first!"
Ming Jun came back but didn't come to pick him up at the palace gate, which already made Xie Boyuan feel a little strange. As a result, he didn't see Ming Jun at the door of his house.
After asking the housekeeper, he found out that Ming Jun had set off in a carriage, and it was in the direction of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.
"Or did you leave with the brocade box?"
"Uh... yes, Mr. Mingjun is holding such a big brocade box himself!"
The steward of Taifu's Mansion also gestured with his hand to show the size of the brocade box as he spoke, also deliberately saying this to Xie Boyuan.
"Hmph! The male college student is not here! The first thing he does when he returns to Beijing is to please his father-in-law!"
Xie Boyuan said Ming Jun, but he really didn't feel uncomfortable in his heart. If he had gone to Li Hansheng's house, he might have felt sad!
Mingjun came back after dinner, and the guards of Dingyuan Hou Mansion drove him back. The guards were very respectful and didn't leave until they reached Mingjun's yard.
Mingjun knew that his master must still be waiting for him. He didn't have time to take a shower, so he hurriedly changed his clothes and went to the study room in the front yard.
"Why are you still drinking?"
Xie Boyuan frowned. The smell of wine on Mingjun was not strong, and the wine smelled mellow. It should be good wine that had been stored for many years.
"The Marquis of Dingyuan left a meal and had two drinks with the Marquis during the dinner!"
Xie Boyuan nodded. Marquis Dingyuan was happy with the wine. When he was young, he was punished in the army for this.
But... Ming Jun can have a glass of wine with Marquis Dingyuan, which shows that Marquis Dingyuan is still very satisfied with his grandson-in-law!
