Wei Hanzhang said: "Yes, Uncle Gu has accepted the crown prince's order and his term has expired. He returned to the capital to report on his duties. What Gu Yunran means is that Uncle Gu will stay in the capital as an official in the future."
"Really?" Wei Hanzhang was in a hurry to go out last time and didn't talk to Jiang in detail. Now when she heard that the Gu family was moving to the capital, she said with great joy, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll let your father go." Ask around."
The governor of Xuzhou is of the third rank, and the official of the capital is the first rank. Even if the Gu family is transferred back to the capital at the same level, it is still a promotion.
A third-grade official, even in the capital, is someone who cannot be underestimated.
You must know that Zhongyong Hou Weiping only holds the position of third-grade governor, which is still a casual position without military power.
The governor is a high-ranking official in a border area and holds real power. Since he can be personally transferred back to the capital by His Highness the Crown Prince, he will definitely be highly valued...
Jiang thought carefully, and the final dissatisfaction with her daughter's marriage disappeared. The Gu family could come to the capital, and they had grown up together since childhood. There was no better marriage than this.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang was actually worried whether her girl's reckless behavior today would displease the Gu family. After all, the eldest son's reputation was the most important factor when marrying a wife.
Her uneasiness completely disappeared on the second day.
Yesterday, the story of the ninth girl from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion hugging a prostitute and crying in front of the Jiaofangsi spread throughout the capital overnight.
However, contrary to the Wei family's worries, when this matter was discussed in the streets, everyone praised Miss Wei Jiu as a good and kind girl.
Everyone knows that it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide help in times of need, and Miss Wei Jiu's move is the real help in times of need.
A sour scholar sighed: It's rare, it's rare, that the word "love" can be seen in a woman.
When some older people heard that this was the girl from the house of Marquis Zhongyong, they praised her for inheriting the style of her grandfather.
More than twenty years ago, the loyal and brave Marquis Weiping blocked a sword for His Majesty and went through hell for His Majesty. He was praised for his loyalty and bravery and was given the title.
The proprietress of a teahouse even hired a storyteller to compile the story into a book for guests to listen to, and the title was "Who said women are inferior to men".
Wei Hanzhang's reputation for being affectionate and righteous resounded throughout the capital, and was known to all women and children.
Unlike those famous names, talented names, and virtuous names, her name is particularly rare.
What's even more strange is that she obviously didn't wear a hat yesterday, and these rumors didn't even describe her appearance at all, but she was able to describe everything that happened at the gate of the Jiaofang Department in a clear and concise manner, as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes.
When the news reached the Wei Mansion, Wei Hanzhang had just gotten up. Along with the news was a set of red coral heads and noodles sent by the Liu family.
Zhongyong Hou Weiping also sent someone to deliver an exquisite dagger suitable for women to play with, saying that it was reserved for the girl's family for self-defense.
This can be regarded as compensation for the man in charge of the Hou Mansion for reprimanding his granddaughter in public yesterday.
Jiang held a dagger inlaid with gems in his hand and said with a smile: "In all these years, your grandfather has never given anything to the female family members of the back house. This is his apology for scolding you last night."
"..." Wei Hanzhang felt awkward, but in this dynasty, one could not verbally express resentment towards the elders, so she could only accept it respectfully.
Overnight, all Jiang's worries disappeared, and she was so lucky that she repeatedly praised her little daughter as a lucky star who turned bad luck into good luck.
Wei Hanzhang was stunned when she heard that. She remembered that Bo Qian praised her yesterday for being 'emphasis on friendship'.
And today, the whole capital is spreading rumors that she is affectionate and righteous...
No matter how you look at it, it has something to do with that person.
Wei Hanzhang asked tentatively: "Mom, do you think someone is deliberately controlling this news?" "No one under the Emperor's feet is a fool. Who can control everyone's mouths?"
Mrs. Jiang couldn't hold back the smile on her face because of this happy event so early in the morning. She said angrily, "If we could control it, so many dirty things in the deep house and compound would not be known to everyone."
Right…
Wei Hanzhang nodded slightly. If he could control public opinion, Wei Hanyue would not be still in the temple now.
Rumors are as fierce as tigers, not to mention that in a power center like the capital, even if someone really wants to lead public opinion, the royal family may not be able to condone it.
and so…
Could it be that these comments praising her as "compassionate and righteous" really have nothing to do with Bo Qian yesterday? Wei Hanzhang still didn't believe it... After all, this was too coincidental.
But I couldn’t see anyone, and I couldn’t find anyone to confirm, so I could only put it aside for now.
When Wei Heng came home from duty, he heard about this as soon as he walked in. His brows that had been frowning for a long time relaxed and he smiled and said, "Ran Ran is a lucky child."
"Isn't it possible?" Jiang finally had a happy event in many days. He personally laid out chopstick dishes for him and asked in a warm voice, "The Gu family will be returning to Beijing soon. Have you heard anything in the court?"
Regarding court matters, a wife of the Jiang family could only learn a little bit from her husband.
Wei Heng was startled when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to Beijing yesterday, and today he summoned the ministers of the fourth rank and above for a court meeting. I went to visit my father before I came here, and he has never heard any news about the Gu family."
Since the floods broke out in the Jiangnan officialdom last year, countless Jiangnan officials have been dismissed from their posts, and more than a hundred people have been sentenced to beheading. This is the biggest case in the seven years since the prince took office.
When Kyoto was implicated, two of the second-rank ministers were beheaded, and the government and the public were in turmoil. When officials talked about the Jiangnan case, their expressions changed. This was also the reason why Zhongyong Hou Weiping was so frightened yesterday.
The power of heaven is unpredictable, and the prince's murderous desire is still unquenched. No one of the courtiers dares to relax their mind. No one dares to pry into the news of Jiangnan officials.
Therefore, no news came out about the fact that Gu Xulin, the governor of Xuzhou, returned to Beijing after receiving the prince's order.
Jiang was not surprised when she heard this. She said with a smile: "Well, anyway, it is a good thing that the Gu family can return to Beijing. As for which official position is appointed by His Highness, it doesn't matter."
Even if Gu Xulin is promoted to a high-ranking official, the legitimate daughter of their Zhongyong Hou Mansion is worthy of it.
To be honest, with their family's rising good looks and their reputation being praised by everyone in the capital today, even if they marry any clan or prince and become a royal concubine, they will be able to do it.
The couple looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was filled with tenderness that was extremely rare since their eldest daughter's accident.
Since Mrs. Liu's words that night, several girls from the Wei family have been detained in the mansion and cannot go out to ride horses, parade through the streets, taste wine and enjoy flowers like the other ladies who were friends with them before.
Wei Hanzhang was also taught by An An to learn the rules for a few days. Her rules and etiquette were not bad. In the past few days, Jiang mainly helped her to sort out the intricate relationships between various families in the capital.
Previously, the Jiang family only thought that their daughter was going to be married in Xuzhou, and had not had much dealings with the in-laws in the capital, so they just asked Wei Hanzhang to get to know the in-laws of the major aristocratic families in the capital.
But now the Gu family is moving to the capital and will take root in the capital in the future. After Wei Hanzhang gets married, he will inevitably have to interact with various government offices in the capital. It would be bad if he doesn't even recognize anyone by then.
There are also intricate in-law relationships between each family, which also need to be roughly noted down.
