Create a home with a system

Chapter 389
"He didn't keep you?" Tangning was a little surprised.

Qiu Jingming said slowly: "Of course I stayed. I originally wanted me to stay in Beijing to join the Qin Tianjian, but I pushed our family to have two marquises. You are also the governor of Lingnan. How many people will stare at you with jealousy? If I seek an official position again, it is tantamount to being a living target for others, there is no need, it is better to come back with the title of Marquis of Dingbei, which has no real power, which is nice and not hateful."

"You can think about it." Tangning muttered, feeling a little sorry, "If it wasn't because of me, you wouldn't have to hurt yourself so much."

"Fool!" Qiu Jingming pinched Tangning's nose amusedly, and said seriously, "On the one hand, it's because of you, and on the other hand, it's because I'm not suitable for living in such an environment of intrigue, and more importantly, the heart of an emperor. It is unfathomable, I can pinch and calculate, and it will easily arouse the suspicion of the emperor. Instead of falling into that situation, it is better to hide merit and fame and be a free and easy Dingbeihou, hello, hello, hello everyone."

Tangning keenly caught the hidden worry in Qiu Jingming's eyes, and hurriedly asked, "But what happened?"

Qiu Jingming hesitated for a moment, but still told Tangning honestly, "I was going to say goodbye, the emperor suddenly mentioned Changsheng, and asked me how old I am now, I said thirteen, and the emperor said that we can talk about marriage in a year or two On being married, she also said that the Supreme Emperor liked the picture of mountains and rivers embroidered by her very much, and wanted to meet him, and asked me to take Changsheng to the capital on the Supreme Emperor's Longevity Day next year."

Tangning's complexion changed instantly, and she asked angrily, "What does the emperor mean? Do you want to marry Changsheng? Or do you not trust us?"

"It's hard to say." Qiu Jingming sighed, and pondered: "Since we are asking about longevity, we should not be able to escape the marriage, but it's not enough to say that we don't trust us. I guess the emperor wants to strengthen the relationship through marriage. "

Tangning remained silent, her face was not very good-looking.

Qiu Jingming knew what she was thinking with just one glance, and persuaded softly: "It has nothing to do with you. The emperor investigated me early in the morning and knew that I have a baby sister. Even if there is no such embroidered picture, the emperor can find other excuses. You put The embroidered picture of Changsheng is presented to promote Changsheng by mistake, and in the future when Changsheng goes to the capital, other dignitaries will not look down on her just because she came from an ordinary peasant family."

Tangning sniffed sadly and muttered, "Tell me the truth, are you comforting me?"

Qiu Jingming laughed dumbfounded, and shook his head affirmatively, "What I said is true. In fact, our family has come to this point. There are some things that we can't help ourselves. Don't think too much. You must know that even if the emperor wants to give longevity Marriage will also ask us what we mean first, and then we will inquire in advance and choose a reliable one for Changsheng."

After Qiu Jingming's persuasion, Tangning slowly thought about it, and told Qiu Jingming about Du Bailiang asking Tang Junsheng to study warships.

The couple discussed for a while before Qiu Jingming left.

The next day, Tangning woke up and directly mentioned to the old man Qiu about bringing the children to the city. The old man Qiu immediately said that the whole family would go to the city.

Tangning readily agreed, and let them pack their luggage, and went to visit the homes of the elders of the Tang family with their belongings.

When he arrived at Tang's second son's house, Du Bailing was teasing his son in the hall, his whole body exuded a strong maternal love, and he looked even more beautiful than before.

"Second aunt," Tangning called out.

Du Bailing hurriedly got up and said, "Hurry up and sit down, I'll let my mother-in-law show you some tea."

Tangning said, "Don't be busy, Second Aunt, here are some things for you and Second Uncle. Chang Sheng told me that if it wasn't for your help, her embroidery would not have been sent to Jiangnan so quickly."

Du Bailing covered his mouth and chuckled, "I was doing something big at the time, but it was just a matter of raising a finger. Speaking of which, she asked me for help, so I had to rely on my elder brother."

"That's because of your efforts," Tangning said.

Du Bailing laughed even harder, and talked to Tangning a lot before letting Tangning leave.

The woman serving on the side whispered to Du Bailing: "Madam, you seem to like the governor very much."

Du Bailing smiled, and said: "She is a sweet and loving child. She has such good fortune at such a young age. The future is boundless. The Tang family is all pointing at her!"

Tang Ning, who left Tang's second family, didn't know that Du Bailing had such a high opinion of her, so she turned around and went to Tang's fourth family.

Then they went to the Jiang family, the Wei family, the Huang family, and finally the Lu family.

The Lu family was all in the shop, and the house was quiet. Tangning went directly to the market for a stroll, and bought a lot of things before going back.

That evening, Tangning took her family to bid farewell to the people in the village.

Jiang was very reluctant to hold his grandson, but he also knew that the Qiu family is not what it used to be, and it is impossible to stay in such a small place all the time, so he can only release him reluctantly.

Tang Ning started working the next day after returning to the Governor's Mansion. First, she met with the prefects of several state capitals, learned about the local population and production situation, and then discussed the next tasks with the prefects of each place. It was only after dark.

The next day, she asked people to call Chai Jianshu and the others again, and she said some scenes before she got to the point, "Now the governor is in charge of Lingnan, so it is impossible to serve as the commander of the Chaozhou Navy. The Admiral of the Navy, and the Admiral of the Navy in Xunzhou and Xinzhou have no candidates, do you know what I mean?"

The nine people looked at each other and looked at Tangning in shock.

Tang Ning said: "I hope you will carry out the troop training method I taught to the Xunzhou Xinzhou Navy. Now Commander Mi Haile is appointed as the Commander of the Xunzhou Navy, Commander Chai Jianshu is the Commander of the Chaozhou Navy, and Deputy General Xu Haoran is the Commander of the Xinzhou Navy. , each of you three can choose two of them to leave."

These two are equivalent to general soldiers.

The nine people knelt down to thank Tangning.

After arranging the navy affairs, Tangning gave Chai Jianshu a portion of the money and wished him and Ah Yin a happy marriage in advance.

Afterwards, the prefects of Duanzhou and Chaozhou were appointed. To be honest, this was the most troublesome issue. Fortunately, Du Bailiang had a good conscience, so he didn't pat his butt and left. He even left a letter of recommendation for Tangning. Among the people, Jin Yushan was selected as the prefect of Duanzhou, and Huang Zhixing was promoted to be the prefect of Chaozhou. In this way, it can be regarded as filling in the important positions, and let them figure out the rest.

It has been more than a month since she cleared up Lingnan's government affairs, and at this time Qiu Jingming and the letter from Xijing arrived together.

When Qiu Jingming arrived in Chaozhou, he didn't go directly to the Governor's Mansion in the city. Instead, he returned to Fengguzhai first, and after seeing all his relatives and friends, he took a carriage and entered the city.

The old man Qiu was so happy to see his grandson reunited after a long absence, and kept holding Qiu Jingming's hand.

The whole family could finally have a neat meal, and the old man Qiu was so happy that he even dragged Qiu Jingming to drink some wine.
