Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 110, the confidence to be an official
After receiving his daughter's affirmative answer, Yuan Yuan scratched his head and asked eagerly, "Then sister Xiu, are you willing?"

Hearing such a question, Yan Shi also looked over, his eyes were anxious.

There is no doubt that the couple suddenly thought of something bad, which made them worry about their daughter's marriage.

Zhen Shi opened her mouth to answer, but swallowed it back abruptly. Whether she thought of it in time or Yuan Xiu's answer was the most important.

Yuan Xiu met his father's gaze, nodded seriously and seriously, and said in a low and clear voice, "I am willing."

"Okay, okay, how embarrassing sister Xiu is to ask, it's my fault, I forgot to go in and explain to my elder brother and sister-in-law, please come with me, elder brother and sister-in-law, our house has an imperial decree, you can believe it after seeing it." Zhen Shi chugs another bunch of words.

Yuan Yuan rubbed his face with his hands, this time he couldn't help but not believe it: "Is there an imperial decree?"

"That's right, sister Xiu's wedding date is determined by the imperial decree. In June next year, this date will be calculated by Qin Tianjian. It will be the best auspicious day in the year next year. It matches the horoscope of sister Xiu's son. There is nothing wrong with it." place."

Zhen Shi said, just as she was anxious to take another look at the jade pendant just now, impatiently wanting Yuan Yuan and his wife to see the imperial decree as soon as possible, she led the way outside, Yuan Yuan and Yan Shi followed behind.

Yuanxiu watched her parents leave with a relieved expression on her face, she calmly told the truth, but she felt more at ease, while Xu praised her: "Young lady said well, grandpa and grandma can rest assured, young lady said well,"

Yuan Xiu smiled lightly at her, went back to her seat and sat down, ordered her things, the exquisite jade pendant was there, there were three bookmarks, and Qimeng, the one she admired the most, disappeared, so she couldn't help biting her red lips and feeling anxious.

Is it in the hands of the second aunt or in the hands of the mother?
It's not good which one to take, but this one, Qimeng Qimeng's, will definitely make parents laugh.

She ran after her.

The imperial decree is placed in a separate room. The Yuan family has a vacant room, so it is not difficult to vacate it. Yuan Yuan came here, bowed down first, and took down the imperial decree and Yan's head-to-head to watch together. Move, face slowly peaceful.

In my ear, Mrs. Zhen kept explaining that this marriage touched the hearts of everyone in Xinji and even the provincial capital. It was not an exaggeration to say that it caused a sensation in the whole province. He asked his father about the whole story of this marriage, and finally got the answer from You Zhen. He dared to meet Sister Xiu before his son was engaged, and she was the one who decided the marriage for Yanyan.

Yuan Yuan and his wife understood: "It turned out that I saw sister Xiu first." They were quite confident in their daughter's appearance. Yuan Yuan was born with a gentle face, and Yan was born with beautiful features. These parents were originally a pair of strangers.

"Here, big brother and sister-in-law, please look, this is the son's good word, this is the son's good word, and the son's talent is also high." Mrs. Zhen gave her handkerchief with a pink bookmark inside.

"Qimeng?" Yuan Yuan smiled first, as if he saw a person tossing and turning in his thoughts.

When Yan Shi wanted to savor it, Yuan Xiu rushed in and saw that it was in the hands of her parents, she could feel coquettish and angry, but if it was in Zhen Shi's hands, she could only be embarrassed.

Twist around: "Father and mother, please return it to me." Take it away as if snatching it away, and fly away as if flying away.

Behind, Yuan Yuan and his wife and Zhen Shi laughed.

That night, the whole family sat around the table warmly, watching the hot hot pot, listening to the old man Yuan explain from time to time that there was nothing about Yuan Hui and Sister Ting, but the little girls raised their hands from the edge of the bowl. Concentration was written in his bright black eyes.

Yuan Xiu wanted to avoid it, but when her parents came back, she had no choice but to accompany her. She concentrated on eating vegetables and serving them to her parents.

Halfway through the meal, the worries of Yuan Yuan and his wife were really wiped away, and they showed happy and satisfied smiles. After the meal, they coaxed their daughter to take out all the letters of the prince, and read them one by one, and the couple put them away to make fun of their daughter. Heart, seriously appreciating the talent and learning of the son.

"This is a good word, and the strength of the pen shows the kung fu. It seems that there are still talents in this high-ranking family." Yuan Yuan said something else, and Yan Shi, who was in office with her husband, understood it and smiled slightly.

Reluctant to leave the good words of her daughter and son-in-law, when Yuan Yuan went to talk to his father, he walked around, Yan laughed at him: "Go early and come back early, I will talk to sister Xiu and wait for you."

The husband and wife came home from a long distance, and it was inevitable that the father and son, mother and daughter would talk about the recent situation. The old master Yuan brewed a pot of good tea and waited for his son. In the dowry, Sister Xiu said that food and drink cannot be kept, so I gave them to me."

Yuan Yuan saw that there was tea in front of his father, so he poured himself a bowl, took a sip, and couldn't help applauding: "Good tea, clear and floating."

This sip of tea opened his chatter box by the way.

"Father, now I have the confidence to be an official." This was Yuan Yuan's opening remarks.

The old man Yuan didn't bother to criticize him first, but looked at him in surprise: "Why, you didn't have the confidence to be an official before?"

"Yes and no."

"Come and listen."

"I have confidence. I study for the purpose of serving the country. I don't have confidence. I have seen too many nasty things."

Yuan Yuan sighed: "Compared to others, I am an honest official. I don't have money to give away if I don't make money. My father doesn't want me to support the family, so I will help others. But, it's not my turn, and it's not my turn. It’s my job to do things, I do things everywhere, I don’t complain about this, but if the job goes wrong, the title belongs to me, sometimes I really can’t figure it out.”

Some people may say that his words are contradictory. What do you mean when the errand is not your turn, but the work is yours?
For example, going to the countryside to collect taxes is under the control of a certain adult. This adult lacks a specific person to knock on the door to collect money, so he calls the old yuan to help.This is called the errand does not belong to him, but the work belongs to him.

When the errand fails, it will not be under the control of a certain adult, who will control it?Yuan Yuan, he takes care of his mistakes.

This kind of suffering is not a problem in front of the old man Yuan, who is Yuan Tianjin, but he put his life on the line back then, and the treachery that his son encountered was nothing in the face of life and death.

Yuan Yuan also complained like this before, and was reprimanded by the old master Yuan, saying that it’s not about doing things, as long as you do things, you can be worthy of your salary and the books you have studied, and that’s all. Not a bad thing.

Yuan Yuan didn't complain anymore for several years, but brought it up again today, Mr. Yuan could hear the words behind him, he sipped his tea and let his eldest son continue.

"I used to have the heart to report. Later, I came to see the patrolling Shangguan. Forget it. The world is as black as crows, and there are no good people everywhere. I just follow my father's advice and behave honestly. A few months ago, there was a sudden banditry in the northwest. There is a shortage of people, the province issued a transfer order, and arranged for a group of officials to go there. I settled three people in the original yamen, and I left as soon as I received the transfer order. I was chased by a dead horse, and I actually sent money for money, said polite words, said that I didn’t take good care of me in the past, and actually sent a document of commendation, saying that I usually work hard and should be reused no matter which yamen I go to.”
