Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 434
In an elegant room of Qingfeng Tea House, Han Qi personally filled a cup of tea for Fan Ning, and said with a smile, "It's been almost a month since I returned to the capital!"

Fan Ning nodded, "It's two days and a month away!"

"Oh? Remember so clearly, it seems that you are already very quiet and want to move."

Fan Ning didn't deny it, just smiled, and took a sip of tea from the cup.

He really hoped that he could return to Beijing to resume his post. Ding's worry period should be over, but he is different from other ordinary officials. His reinstatement is to first confirm his official position and then return to his post. He guessed that Han Qi came to him today because of this thing.

Han Qi didn't directly mention the matter of reinstatement, he changed the subject, and asked with a smile: "Guess, who will come to pick up Song Xiang's phase?"

Fan Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Zeng Gongliang, Minister of the Right Officials!"

The smile in Han Qi's eyes deepened, "But many people think it's Zhang Sheng, the Right Adviser Doctor."

Fan Ning shook his head, "The brand of Zhang Sheng's faction is too strong. Unless the emperor has decided to make Zhao Wenyun the crown prince, he will not use Zhang Sheng."

"What about Bao Zheng? He has enough qualifications, do you think he will be in the picture?"

Fan Ning still shook his head, "Like Zhang Sheng, Bao Zheng's faction is too strong, Jia Changchao and Tian Kuang are both biased towards Zhao Wenyun, so I think the emperor will only fine-tune and promote an important minister in the middle line, if there is no Zeng Gongliang, I would think that my father-in-law Zhu Xiaoyun has hope, but he can't get around the hurdle of Zeng Gongliang, and it is inevitable that Zeng Gongliang will take over."

Han Qi nodded, "You are very discerning. Today the officials have decided to appoint Zeng Gongliang as Privy Envoy and Pingzhangshi to succeed Song Xiang. In addition, the officials also asked about your reinstatement today."

Fan Ning suddenly became concerned, and quickly asked, "What did the officials say?"

"The government has two plans. The first plan is to let you serve as a publicity envoy and go to Shaanxi Road and Hebei Road to inspect the disaster situation. The second plan is to let you go to a local office. You need to ask for your own opinions."

Consolation envoys are a bit like imperial envoys, who represent the imperial court and the emperor, and go to various places to inspect disasters and appease the people, which is more beautiful in terms of face. It doesn't help much. On the contrary, going to the local area to take up a real job is the only step in the upward step.

Of course, Fan Ning wanted to take up a real job in a local area, but the problem was that the emperor was running out of time, and there were still two years at most. He still hoped to stay in the capital for these critical two years, but he couldn't help himself on this issue. The two plans put forward by the officials are to ask him to go to other places.

Fan Ning pondered for a moment and asked, "Where are the officials going to let me go?"

"I didn't say anything about it. It should be recommended by the Zhizhengtang. I discussed it with Zeng Gongliang just now. One is to know Hangzhou, one is to know Jiangning Mansion, and the other is to know Yingtian Mansion. You can choose one of these three, but "

"But what?" Fanning asked.

Han Qi smiled and said, "Julu County King wants you to go to Yingtian Mansion!"

Fan Ning immediately understood that it was Zhao Zhongshi who wanted to go to Yingtian Mansion by himself, and then let Han Qi handle it. He discussed with Zeng Gongliang because Zeng Gongliang was about to become a prime minister, and Han Qi needed his support in advance, and then in the Zhizheng Hall's vote, Only then can it be passed by three to two.

"How, do you have this intention?"

Fan Ning smiled faintly, "Do I still have a choice?"

In the afternoon of the same day, Ouchi issued two decrees, granting Zeng Gongliang the title of privy envoy and Pingzhangshi to participate in the Zhizheng Hall's deliberations. .

Doctor Zuo Jianyi is only an official position in name. If he is granted the title of Zhijian Yuan at the same time, then the real power of Doctor Zuo Jianyi will be confirmed. The accurate expression of his current position is "to serve as Ying Tian with the title of Doctor Zuo Jianyi Prefect'.

On the second day after Fan Ning went to the Ministry of Officials to complete the formalities for his inauguration, his wife and mother arrived in the capital by boat.

Fan Ning received a boat from his wife, daughter, and mother at the wharf of Daxiangguo Temple. It was a two thousand stone passenger ship. His mother, Zhang Sanniang, got off the passenger ship first with the support of her daughter A Duo. Fan Ning hurriedly greeted her and said with a smile: " I thought my mother would come later."

Zhang Sanniang glared at him, "Your two wives, one with a big belly and one with a young girl, can I not come?"

Fan Ning said with a sneer: "I didn't mean that, I just thought that my mother still had things to deal with."

"I've taken care of everything that needs to be dealt with. I'll be counting on you, a brat, to take care of me in the future. Don't make me annoyed."

"Mother, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Sanniang patted him on the shoulder in satisfaction, "Go! Your two wives are counting on you."

Fan Ning rubbed his sister's hair again, asked her a few words, and then greeted his wife and daughter.

The second person to get off the boat was Ouyang Qian, who was holding her daughter. When the little guy saw his father, he opened his arms happily and shouted: "Daddy!"

Fan Ning was overjoyed, not seeing her for more than a month, and her daughter would actually call her Daddy, he quickly hugged his precious daughter in his arms, kissed her face deeply, and said joyfully, "Call me Daddy again!"

"Daddy!"

Although it was a bit vague, the baby's voice melted Fanning's heart. He held his daughter in his arms, but refused to let go.

"My husband seems to have lost weight!" Ouyang Qian said affectionately.

"We're not around, he spends his days drinking and drinking, can he not lose weight?"

It was Zhu Pei who spoke. She was already a little pregnant, and was carefully supported by Aya to get off the boat. She stared at her husband dissatisfied, but she didn't help herself off the boat.

Fan Ning hurriedly embraced his daughter Ah Zhen, supported Zhu Pei with one hand, and said with a smile: "The letter I wrote should have been received!"

"I have received the letter. You said that you will be reinstated. We are all concerned about whether you are going to get rid of our mothers again and go overseas by yourself."

Fan Ning was a little embarrassed and helpless, so he had to smile wryly and said, "It's not going overseas."

"Where is that going? We all guess that you won't stay in Beijing."

"Let's talk about it when we go back! Anyway, it's very close to the capital, so basically it won't have any influence."

Two carriages and a few ox carts were already parked nearby, and daughter Ah Zhen insisted on staying with her father, so Ouyang Qian sat with Zhu Pei, Zhang Sanniang took her daughter A Duo, A Ya and Jian Meizi sat in the second car In the carriage, the other maids took the ox cart. As for the luggage, someone sent by Zhu Yuanfeng took them back to the manor.

The carriage passed slowly through Shuyuan Street. The rubble and ruins of the Kistler Hall had been cleaned up. A dozen craftsmen and more than a hundred small workers were busy rebuilding the mansion. Fan Tiege was in the temporary shop rented on East Street. There was no one he knew on the construction site. people.

Everyone looked at the burned shop silently, and no one spoke. Fanning had already briefly told them about the burned shop in his letter.

The carriage walked out of Shuyuan Street, and the precious daughter had already fallen asleep in Fan Ning's arms. Ouyang Qian gently took her over and asked in a low voice, "Husband, where do you work?"

Zhu Pei's gaze immediately fixed on her husband, which was also what she was most concerned about.

"It's to Yingtian Mansion!" Fan Ning smiled wryly.

Zhu Pei and Ouyang Qian looked at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief. It's really not far away, about two hundred miles, it takes two days by boat, and one day and one night by fast horse.

"Then when will you take office?" Jupe then asked.

"Ten days from now."

Fan Ning had already moved back to his own mansion a few days ago, and the servants were still the same group of people from before, about [-] people. There was only one more official Liu's family outside, plus the housekeeper Wu's wife inside, it was considered a big family Structure.

On the way to Beijing, the family discussed the housing arrangement, and Fan Ning didn't need to worry about it. Mother Zhang Sanniang took her daughter to live in the East Courtyard. She lived with her son, but kept a certain distance from them. Zhang Sanniang was very worried. It is clear that Zhu Pei is the heroine of the family. If she is too strong, it will only make the backyard uneasy.

Zhang Sanniang's mother and daughter also brought four maids to Beijing, they can form a system of their own, usually eat together, or chat, especially she wants to bring her precious granddaughter, which is Zhang Sanniang's biggest sustenance.

The back house consists of three yards and a garden. Of the three yards, Ouyang Qian lives in the largest one with her daughter, Aya and Jianmeizi live in one yard, and eight housemaids live in one yard. Where Pei and Fanning lived.

Soon, a few servants escorted a dozen boats full of luggage to Fan's mansion by water.
