The Red Mansions

Chapter 150 Meeting Daiyu, Temporary Dispatch and Real Work
Cixi County Government Office, lobby.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Envoys need talents...Jia Yun, the magistrate of Cixi, was a clean and honest official, and made outstanding achievements...In addition to the magistrate of Cixi, he was moved to the head of the Ministry of War, the inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the governor of the capital patrol camp. , hereby!"

Those who came to announce the decree were eunuchs sent by the capital and officials from the Jinling Ministry of Officials.

Jia Yun shouted long live, and after receiving the decree, Master Huang took the opportunity to give each of the angels who proclaimed the decree a hundred taels of silver, and everyone was happy.

Jia Yun has two imperial edicts in her hand, one is to make a book and the other is an imperial edict.

There are mainly three types of imperial edicts, namely Zhaoyue, Zhiyue, and Chiyue.

Three types are used in different scenarios, and on different people,
The imperial edict is the document that the emperor announces to the subjects of the world.

If the emperor has something to tell the people of the world, he will issue an imperial edict at this time, which, as the name suggests, is to announce it to the world.

Zhiyue was used by the emperor to express his favor and announce to all officials.

When the emperor appoints ministers, he usually uses Zhiyue. If he wants to reward the ministers with gold and silver, or give titles, etc., these are all within the scope of Zhiyue.

Therefore, the system is generally not used on the common people, but is issued by the emperor to the ministers.

The imperial edict is generally issued to the ministers, and the edict is used when adding officials to the ministers.

However, imperial edicts usually have a warning meaning, that is to say, I will add an official to you now, but I hope you will not rush for quick success, but still maintain a humble attitude.

Among them, Zhiyue and Chiyue should be emphasized again.

Titles and promotions belong to the emperor's gifts, but the system is only used for rewards. If it is an official promotion, it does not belong to the scope of the system.

In the same way, imperial edicts are used for promotion, but also serve as warnings.

Therefore, when accepting other emperor's gifts, it does not belong to the scope of imperial edict.

Except for a unicorn suit, the books Jia Yun received were all goods, such as a hundred taels of gold, 10 taels of silver, rice paper, jade pendants, and Dongzhu.

Among them, 10 taels of silver is the reward for beheading 50 enemy heads this time, and each head is [-] taels, which is the same in all parts of the country.

Of course, not so many were sent to the soldiers.

For example, Jia Yun paid the soldiers five taels of silver, which is considered conscientious.

Another point is that this time, if Wen Junshou, Jiang Songhe, Liao Shoufu and others hadn't given their strong support, they would not have received so many rewards. The rewards are strictly censored, and they are often not recognized. Often, one out of ten is not bad.

Therefore, Jia Yun is still very grateful to Wen Junshou and others.

The next day, after Jia Yun handed over to the newly arrived county magistrate, she packed lightly and left Cixi.

On that day, tens of thousands of people in Cixi sent each other for thirty miles.

A lot of people cried all the way, which made Jia Yun both moved and dumbfounded. People who didn’t know this would think they were dead!

On the official road, there is a gentle breeze, and hundreds of horses are galloping, rolling up thick dust and smoke.

Jia Yun and his party consisted of hundreds of people, all riding horses, even Meiren and Liren were no exception, galloping along the official road.

Riding a horse is indeed much faster than taking a car. As soon as the evening arrived, the group arrived in Hangzhou.

In Xue's other courtyard, after Jia Yun took a bath and changed clothes, she sat down by the small lake and drank tea.

Xue Pan, Jia Wenlin, and Liu Xianglian also came to join in the fun.

"Let's all sit down and relax in private now." Jia Yun motioned to Jia Wenlin and Liu Xianglian.

The two of them didn't refuse, they found a seat on the side and sat down.

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Xue Pan stretched his waist and complained: "This horse riding is fast, but I am too tired. My maids almost cried all the way."

He looked at Jia Yun and asked curiously: "Brother-in-law, your charming and beauties have ridden so far, and they are not tired, how did you teach them?"

"How can we not be tired? We old men are tired, how can they not be tired? It's just that they are pretending." Jia Yun shook her head and smiled.

Xue Pan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Brother-in-law is right, but tomorrow we will transfer to Gusu and take a boat, it will be much more comfortable."

Jia Yun nodded and said, "The reason why I left in such a hurry is because I wanted to stay in Gusu for a few more days. I heard that Mr. Lin has returned to his hometown recently, so I plan to visit him on the way."

"Speaking of uncle, last time I heard you say Miss Lin came back, is she here now?" Xue Pan asked curiously.

Just as Jia Yun was about to reply, Mei Ren hurried over with a happy face and said:
"My lord, Brother Ming just sent a message saying that we arranged for the guards at the pier to report that Miss Lin has just arrived at the shore and will be here soon. The second master Lian from Jia's mansion is also on the way. .”

Jia Yun nodded, and smiled at Xue Pan, "Haha, isn't it here?"

Xue Pan was startled, then laughed loudly, and said, "I said why my brother-in-law kept urging me on the road, I dare say I want to go to Hangzhou before Miss Lin!"

Jia Yun shook her head and said, "I didn't expect that she would arrive today, but last time a letter was sent from home, telling her when she would leave Beijing, I speculate that she will arrive in Hangzhou in the next few days. As for when she will arrive, I am not sure. It's just a coincidence."

"I remember you said earlier that they left the capital at the beginning of the month, and now it's only the end of the month, less than a month, and they left quite quickly!" Xue Pan sighed.

Jia Yun nodded and said: "Master Lin is sick, Miss Lin is naturally anxious, she must be in a hurry on the road, and she didn't stop too much, it's normal to hurry up."

The charming man was by the side, seeing that he couldn't get in the way, so he said, "Master, I'll go out and guard first, and when Miss Lin and the others arrive, I'll notify you."

Jia Yun waved her hand, motioning for her to go.

Turning around, he asked Liu Xianglian: "Brother Liu is familiar with Second Uncle Lian, will you accompany me later?"

"Okay, compared to Second Master Lian, I'm more familiar with Uncle She and the others." Liu Xianglian replied with a smile.

Jia Yun nodded. Although he said that he had conflicts with the Jia family, it was within the family.

After leaving the door, you should be kind, and you can't pretend that you don't know each other, or it will make outsiders laugh.

The four of them sat and drank tea for a while, and Lin Daiyu and Jia Lian didn't arrive until dark after lighting the lamps.

Jia Yun led the crowd to the door to greet her in person.

The sedan chair stopped at the door, Lin Daiyu opened the curtain and looked out, and saw Jia Yun and Jia Lian clasped their hands and talked, then came to the side of the sedan chair and looked at her with a smile.

She blushed, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It's my nephew after all, I know I love my aunt, and I can arrange someone to guard it on the pier so far away."

"Excellent!" Jia Yun frowned, glared at her, and then asked concerned: "How is it, did you suffer a lot on the road?"

Lin Daiyu glanced at him, bit her lip, shook her head slowly and said, "No."

Jia Yun looked at her face and found that her eyes were a little red and swollen, and thought to herself that this girl must be worried about Lin Ruhai and cried all the way back.

After a moment of hesitation, Jia Yun did not tell her the truth. After returning to Gusu, she would have to cry a lot to deceive outsiders.

Seeing Jia Yun looking at her unscrupulously, Lin Daiyu lowered her head, lowered her eyelids, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face was flushed and shy.

"It's fine, let's talk in the room first!" Jia Yun nodded and signaled the bearer to carry the sedan chair into the courtyard.

Lin Daiyu opened her mouth, knowing that this was not the place to speak, hummed lightly, and slowly lowered the curtains.

"Girl, I didn't expect us to meet Er Yun here." Zijuan said happily.

Xueyan smiled and said: "Last year, I heard that he left Beijing for a study tour. Hangzhou is the place where Jiangnan's literary style flourishes. It's normal to meet him here."

"Second Master Yun is not studying abroad. He is here as an official. You may not have seen him just now. He is wearing a unicorn suit now." Zijuan shook his head and said.

As she said that, she turned to Lin Daiyu and said, "Girl, Second Master Yun was wearing a unicorn suit just now, did your servant admit his mistake?"

Lin Daiyu nodded and said: "Well, that's right, you are right, he has come out to be an official, but I don't know where he is an official, I wanted to ask just now."

Zijuan opened her eyes wide and sighed: "Three days after the farewell, you should look at him with admiration. The appearance of Erye Yun in official uniform is really dignified, majestic, magnificent, elegant and handsome. When you look at him, you will feel trembling in your heart!" "

"whee……"

Both Lin Daiyu and Xueyan were amused by Zijuan's words, but the sedan chair had already arrived in the courtyard, so they had to suppress their laughter and wait to get off the sedan chair.

Soon, Meiren and Liren stepped forward to welcome Lin Daiyu and others into the back house to resettle them in the room.

In the yard, Jia Lian looked at Jia Yun enviously, and said, "Brother Yun is really promising, wearing this official uniform, tsk tsk, it really makes people's eyes hot!"

Although he didn't know what official Jia Yun was now, judging from Jia Yun's ability to wear the unicorn suit, he knew that Jia Yun was in the heart of the emperor, and his position was definitely not low.

Speaking of which, Jia Lian also donated an official position as a fifth-rank Tongzhi, but that has no real power, just like local officials, it is just an honor.

Even, his fifth-rank magistrate is not as good as Xue Pan's fifth-rank Guangdong Qinglisihubu Langzhong!

After all, although Xue Pan's official position is nominal, it can still be effective when it comes to the territory of Guangdong.

Jia Yun shook her head and smiled, "What's so hot about Second Uncle Lian? Jia's mansion is a noble family, what scene haven't you seen?"

Jia Lian shook his head and said, "They're all from my own family. Don't speak foreign language. What you said is all in the past. Now Jia's mansion is only on the surface. How can Brother Yun not know what is actually going on?"

After a pause, he asked curiously, "Last year, I heard that you left Beijing for a study tour. I didn't expect you to become an official in no time. Tell uncle, what important position do you have now?"

"Where is there any important position to take, they are all temporary assignments, not worth mentioning." Jia Yun said with a smile.

Xue Pan on the side couldn't help but said: "Come on, brother-in-law, I admit that the head of the Ministry of War is temporarily dispatched, and the governor's capital patrol battalion is temporarily dispatched. I also admit that the patrolling censor is not temporarily dispatched, right?"

Jia Yun shook her head and said, "It's hard to say right now, which one is a real job and which one is a temporary assignment. I won't know until I return to Beijing."

Jia Lian said in surprise, "My good fellow, I didn't expect Brother Yun to get so many errands without saying a word!"

"Brother Yun, don't be modest. The three positions mentioned by Brother Xue just now, whether they are temporary or not, can handle a large area of ​​affairs. It can be said that they are all important positions!"

Jia Yun laughed and said, "Haha, Second Uncle Lian is well-informed, but you were only half right just now, that is, although the three dispatches seem to be important positions, they may all be empty positions..."

PS: Do you have tickets?
