Chapter 64: Chinese New Year
Cao Conglong died. He said that literary arts were just hanging himself in the southeast branch. It was obvious that he would hang himself. No one could prevent him from hanging himself with his belt. Chen Wen did not intend to punish the guards. After all, no one would have thought that this guy would not even have the courage to take a look at the first ray of sunshine in the seventh year of Yongli.
Having not seen him for half a year, I have no big impression of this military civil servant Chen Wen. At least in his impression, Cao Conglong seemed to have done four things after coming to Jinhua: the first was to act as an envoy of the imperial edict, the second was to try to convince him to go east to Taizhou, and the third was to be fooled by him to go to Xunxian to appease the people, and the last was to rebellion. Now, thinking about it now, it seems that the third was to help him on the surface, but in fact it was clearly to prepare for the fourth thing, and all this was just because the second thing was not achieved.
Such civil servants in the late Ming Dynasty and Southern Ming Dynasty were not uncommon in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and there were even some worse than him. However, the oppressed by civil servants was his lonely army fighting hard under the Qing army, which still made everyone in this Ming army feel deeply hated.
But today I look at it. A civil servant who seems to have been a few decades old in eight years seems a little pitiful than his previous high spirits, which really corresponds to the saying that a pitiful person must have something hateful.
Cao Conglong was dead, but Chen Wen knew very well that the Qing Dynasty, or those who disliked him, would use this matter to attack him, which could be thought of even with his toes. But Chen Wen had no choice but to do so. After all, this was always used to make the decision for the mind for most people in the world. Since the people who pretended to be asleep could not wake up, then only by restoring the two capitals and destroying the Qing Dynasty, the great achievements of those who slapped those swearing back to the faces of those guys who were full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and slapping the faces of those civil officials in the Lujian State court before using the fact that they defeated the Qing army.
After seeing Cao Conglong's body and ordering him to be given a cemetery that matches his status, Chen Wen returned to the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion to continue the unfinished work. The crucial part of this was the improvement method for the hereditary military post.
Chen Wen returned to the Marquis' Mansion to continue working overtime, but today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, so he couldn't let everyone work overtime with him, so the departments under the Marquis' Mansion of Anyuan have already started holidays since yesterday, and only a very small number of civil and military officials are still taking turns.
The former captain of the personal soldiers, but not only the young personal soldiers have been disbanded, but all the members have been sent to Zhejiang Martial Arts School to study, but even his personal soldiers have been exempted from his position as captain of the personal soldiers. Chen Wen's arrangement for him is to learn military knowledge.
The date for formally going to the martial arts lecture school is set for the New Year, which is mainly because the group of people who proclaimed the imperial edicts still need his assistance. Fortunately, he can spend this year's Spring Festival peacefully and safely at home, and today is the first day he returns home.
As Chen Wen's personal captain, Zhang Jun had already been assigned to the military field like other officers. Although the six-year trip to Fujian has not been handled by him, the distribution of the military field was handled by his widowed sister. Even the tenants were found by his sister specifically to the officials of the garrison to help. Of course, his family now does not make a fortune by making a fortune by land, and the tenant rent is much lower than that of the local landlords.
Returning to a quiet courtyard in the mansion, this is Zhang Jun's home. Now his widowed sister lives here, which finally makes the courtyard more popular.
When Zhang Jun returned home, the first thing he saw was that his sister was packing up the raw materials for food, including the spring plate that he was about to eat. This was just like the dumplings and noodles on the second day of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of the 1st year of
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I have been busy all these days, and I don’t even have time to come back. But now I see that the courtyard is full of the atmosphere of the New Year. The window flowers and knots are obviously from his sister. The word "Fu" and couplets are obviously asked for. After all, his sister is illiterate and cannot write such beautiful handwriting.
"Sister, I'm back."
Perhaps he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, Zhang Jun's sister quickly raised her head. When she saw that it was Zhang Jun who came back, she rushed over in two steps.
"I'm back, let my sister see it. Well, I've grown taller and stronger, just a little darker..."
After a long separation, I naturally had joy in the courtyard, but it was not as good as my sister. After seeing his sister's outfit, Zhang Jun showed a bitter smile, and even though he had finished sitting, he did not leave.
"Sister, this is the New Year, why are you doing this?"
During the Chinese New Year, it is time to be prosperous, but Zhang Jun's sister is covered in plain white, without even a little festive atmosphere. Even the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year has been diluted a little.
"Last year, your brother-in-law took the lead. I am a vain. It is worth keeping mourning for three years. There is nothing to be bitter or not."
As soon as this said, Zhang Jun was stunned at first, and soon sighed sincerely, as if only in this way could the depression in his heart be relieved.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Jun's sister smiled indifferently and then said, "I'm back today and I'm about to discuss something big with you. These days I'm thinking that it's time to adopt a child for your brother-in-law, but there is no suitable candidate yet."
"Ah?" Zhang Jun was really shocked when he heard this, and then said solemnly: "Sister, this is a dead end that cannot be sustained!"
In the Ming Dynasty, it advocated integrity. Although it was far better than that of the Tang and Song dynasties, it was not as good as the Qing Dynasty. Remarriage was not a shameless and shameless act.
However, at this moment, Zhang Jun's sister shook her head and then said with tears in her eyes: "Your brother-in-law treats me very well. When she married into the Hu family, your brother-in-law always tolerate me. Even after a few years, he has never been displeased with him. In the eyes of outsiders, maybe he is not sloppy, but to me he is a best husband. Now that he is gone, how can I let the Hu family break the incense like this?"
After saying this, even Zhang Jun showed sadness. Although his brother-in-law was just a minor official, he treated them very well during his lifetime. Not only did he teach him to read and count, but he also took care of his work under Chen Wen. In the past two years, Zhang Jun has grown a lot by himself and has long been reborn. He has to be grateful to his brother-in-law. However, his sister has to keep her for the rest of her life, but it still makes him feel bitter.
