14. Everywhere, please ask for help

After sending Hong into the palace to meet Concubine Hong of Hyegyeong Palace, Hong Kyung-lai went to the outer corridor of Changgyeong Palace. After the fire in Changdeokgung Palace, after more than half a year of reconstruction, it has basically recovered.

Thanks to those thousands of monks working day and night on the construction site!

There is only a little bit of soft furnishing painting left to be completed, and the entire project can be roughly completed by mid-summer at most. However, the big bosses of Uijeongbu can only work in the corridor outside Donhwamun."

Work tirelessly for the country and the people”!

Naturally, coming to the Uijeongbu Government is to handle the relocation matters that Kim Jo-soon mentioned before. If Hong Kyung-lai wants to go on a mission, Chang Ping Cheong-jeong will definitely not do it again. We need to find a new scapegoat to continue to carry the blame and bear the responsibility of Hanyang.

Up and down dissatisfaction or anger.

As for the official position that Hong Jinglai wanted to transfer to, he was originally going to Libin Temple to continue his work as a minister, and it was also in line with the status of a diplomatic envoy, which was very appropriate. However, the grandmother of the person who originally served as a minister was a princess (that is, the king).

(concubine), you have to make arrangements in advance, otherwise you won’t be able to find a satisfactory position easily.

So I went round and round, and it was said that I was still in the position of a capital official, but changed to serve as a Songdu. That is the current Kaicheng Prefecture experience, assisting Songdu to handle various affairs in the capital.

Of course, there is no need to take up the post. The edict of sending an envoy there has been issued after receiving the certificate here. Anyway, there is no time to assist Songdu to stay behind. Hong Jinglai did not think about doing this experience, because he accepted it in these two days.

Too much baggage.

Our old mentor Cao Yunda directly made a list and asked for a certain book and a certain item. Fortunately, the old mentor was a real person and gave Hong Jinglai a banknote worth three thousand taels of silver. Others

Not to mention people, Min Tinghye and Min Jinghye directly sent two of their honest family members with a capital of five thousand taels of silver.

"Xiao Hong, we can rest assured that you can handle the matter. You can handle it as you please."

The second half of the sentence means that five thousand taels of silver can be converted into 20,000 taels of silver at will. It’s not a big problem. Come on! We are optimistic about you! Don’t let us down!

Of course, they didn’t say it clearly, but that’s what it meant!

As for Concubine Hong and several brothers from the Hong family, they came over pitifully with five thousand taels of silver. They kept saying that it was the money for the incense from the clan community and the money for the empress’ body oil. Please, brother, please develop some money along the way to supplement it.

Our Fengshan Hong family, right?

He was a relative, so he thought about whether Hong Jinglai could help him. He couldn't shirk this, and he had to flatter him. In the end, even the Hong family quietly came over and hinted to Hong Jinglai that since he was going to Yanjing, he should bring some Su Zao and Ning Zao.

The new designs and colors of silk made in Hangzhou are best in delicate colors.

Of course, it was not the old lady who asked for it. Now the old lady herself does not need the two first-class clothes. She also has several official wives in Hanyang. Hong Jinglai finally made an envoy trip, and he must bring some local products from the Qing Dynasty.

Come back and give her some friends.

The most important thing is that the Chinese cabbage is only 16, so Hong Jinglai can’t prepare some!

Not to mention the brocade Qianju, that is the specification of the betrothal gift. This time, at least four colors of patterns should be given to Xiao Baicai. I should bring three or five pieces, spring gauze, autumn damask, winter fur and summer clothes.

Yangzhou workers and Suzhou workers always choose some exquisite jewelry. Even the Qianqing Palace Manufacturing Office in Yanjing or the Ministry of Internal Affairs Manufacturing Office. If there are small gadgets from these places, she can prepare a few pieces for her to send to Hong Jing on behalf of Hong Jing.

It’s also necessary to give it to others.

Yes Yes Yes Yes!

Mother, you are right!

You taught me a lesson!

Buy it! Buy whatever the Hong family says, and buy more than the amount, so as not to give it away if it doesn't fit the bill and short someone's property. The Hong family has given a title to a chaste woman, a decent person, and cannot seize or search for it.

After everyone in this circle had finished perfunctory, there were eight family members lying in the servant room of Hong Jinglai's house. They were all sent from other places and entered with coins.

There was no way, Hong Jinglai couldn't raise much of the ginseng thing for a while, but fortunately Hong Jinglai and Li Xi took this Lai Shang's big treasure and sent someone to Donglai by speedboat, and immediately asked him to send some Japanese. The imported high-quality Haitian double-headed abalone must of course be dried, and fresh products cannot be brought to Yanjing.

The rest is up to everyone according to their own abilities. North Korea is not a country with abundant products. This time, just bring ginseng and fur, the two most cost-effective and lightest goods. If you have pearls and rosin (amber), collect some. No, I don't really care.

As expected, the edict was issued. Jin Zhichun was appointed as the chief envoy of Xie En, and Hong Jinglai was appointed as the deputy envoy of Xie En. Keqi went to Yanjing to express his gratitude to Emperor Jiaqing and thank him for his great kindness in caring for his country and helping the wandering people.

As usual, King Sunjong gave a banquet at Xiangyuan Pavilion to see off the principal and deputy envoys. As for the rewards of luggage and horses, it was also proper. He said some nonsense about being respectful and polite, and must be sincere, and that was it.

"Uncle, what else do you have to say?" After the banquet, Hong Jinglai followed Jin Zuchun who was accompanying the banquet to the outside of the palace.

Jin Zhichun was a little surprised when he heard the title "uncle", but he glanced at his elder brother Jin Zuchun and saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he didn't say much. As for what he was thinking, it was not clear.

"You and Yunsou are here mainly to recover Zhuang Xian, and the rest will be easy."

"My nephew must be in tune with the judge!"

"Yes!" Jin Zuchun nodded.

"He will also go on this trip, please remember to take care of him." Jin Zuchun seemed to have thought of something, and specifically told Jin Zhichun.

Who is he? The envoy and deputy envoy are here, there shouldn't be anyone else. Besides, what kind of person can let the dignified Jin Zuchun personally order people to take care of him? This may not be too shameful.

In the end, Jin Zhichun seemed to agree quite naturally, and it felt very normal. Moreover, the two of them clearly didn't mention any names, so it just happened.

"I wonder what the chief supervisor is talking about?" Seeing Jin Zuchun get on the sedan chair and walk away, Hong Jinglai carefully asked Jin Zhichun.

"Oh! He's the eldest brother's last brother."

Does Jin Zuchun have younger brothers? Hong Jinglai remembers that Jin Zuchun’s eldest son is already twenty years old, and he was adopted to Jin Zuchun’s cousin Jin Yongchun not long ago. Then his younger brother should also be in his thirties or forties. Does he still need someone to take care of him at this age?

"If I remember correctly, I think he is only fourteen or fifteen this year."

Jin Zhichun probably saw that Jin Zuchun valued Hong Jinglai, and it was not a secret thing anyway, so he said it very straightforwardly. This is Jin Zuchun's younger brother Jin Pingchun, but this younger brother is not the legitimate son, but his father Jin Luzhong The child he had with his concubine a few years before his death was, to put it bluntly, a miscarriage.

To put it harshly, to put it more bluntly, he is a beast!

Even if the son of a bastard comes from a prestigious family like the Andong Jin family, he will not be given the opportunity to take the liberal arts examination. In addition, his biological father has died again, and his eldest brother Jin Zuchun is nearly thirty years older than him. Years old, Jin Pingchun is even younger than Jin Zuchun's sons, so naturally he still needs to be taken care of.
Chapter completed!
