Chapter 1969 Moving and quitting drinking
“The Zhejiang Governor’s Yamen is in Shaoxing. After I am promoted to Zhejiang Governor, I will move to Shaoxing to work. From Suzhou to Shaoxing, there are more than three hundred miles, and there are many people traveling all the way. Laodun, Sister Li, you are We should stay in Suzhou. Hua'er and Qin'er will stay here to take care of you. I can just bring them over with my big sword."
On a sunny afternoon, Zhu Ping'an supported the pregnant Li Shu in the yard. Take a walk, discussed softly.
Li Shu is already in the third trimester of pregnancy, and her due date is only more than 20 days away. Basically, after the Chinese New Year, she will give birth on the 10th day of the first lunar month.
Zhu Ping'an felt sorry for Li Shu's pregnant belly, and he really couldn't bear that Li Shu would have to work hard with him anymore.
"Brother Zhu, my due date is more than 20 days away. Didn't the official from Hangzhou just say that he was well-informed and that your appointment was already on the way? It will arrive in two days at most. We can advance it Pack your things and go to Shaoxing to take office after receiving the appointment."
"The water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River is convenient, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs from north to south. We can go south from Suzhou to Hangzhou through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. , and then winds along the river bend directly to Shaoxing. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is downstream from north to south, and it is also downstream from Hangzhou to Shaoxing. A downstream boat can travel more than a hundred miles a day, so a total of two or three days is enough. It's a boat ride all the way, I just need to stay in the cabin, I don't get seasick, it's not hard."
Li Shu shook her head vigorously, clasped her fingers and said to Zhu Pingan, her voice soft. Yes, but very persistent.
"Then I'll ask Aunt Wang later to see if it's okay." Zhu Ping'an was still worried and did not agree immediately.
"Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang" Li Shu squinted her eyes and waved not far away with a smile.
She had already asked Aunt Wang these questions, so she felt confident and called Aunt Wang over on the spot to dispel Zhu Pingan's concerns.
For Li Shu, a late-pregnant woman, Aunt Wang is always on call these days. She usually stays with Li Shu during the day, and even goes to bed at night in a wing in the same courtyard.
At this moment, in order not to disturb Li Shu and his wife's time, Aunt Wang was basking in the sun in a corner of the yard while making children's clothes.
After Aunt Wang came over, Zhu Pingan expressed his concerns and asked Aunt Wang for her opinion.
“Of course it is best to stay here to prepare for the birth. However, the lady is in good health and does not get seasick. The condition of the fetus is also stable. It is also possible to take a proper boat ride. Just treat it as a trip to relax, but it must not be done. Traveling is too hard. You can only travel for five hours a day at most. You must ensure that the lady gets enough rest.”
Aunt Wang gave the answer from a professional perspective.
"You heard me, Brother Zhu? Taking the boat to Shaoxing is just a trip to relax. No problem, you can."
Li Shu shook Zhu Ping'an's arm.
"Okay, okay, if the appointment comes within three days, we will go to Shaoxing together. If the appointment is late, we will see the situation. If possible, I will stay with you. Really No, I will go there first with Da Dao, while Hua'er and Qin'er will all stay here to take care of you."
Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to agree.
"Yeah, you have the final say." Li Shu nodded with satisfaction, "Then I will send someone to Shaoxing first to find a house next to the governor's office."
Zhu Ping'an nodded, "Okay, I'll let you The gun and twenty people went over to help. The groundwork was laid first, the decoration was done in advance, and all the preparations were prepared in case of emergency."
"Yes." Li Shu nodded vigorously.
Soon, things started to get busy in the mansion. Qin'er took a few girls, old ladies and nurses, and under the protection of Daqiang and others, they set off to Shaoxing to attack the front station; Hua'er directed the people to start Pack your things so that you can leave for Shaoxing at any time after the appointment is issued; the steward goes to the dock to find a boat.
At the Shaoxing Governor's Yamen at this moment, Li Tianchong sighed helplessly. Although the imperial edict had not yet come down, he had already received the news in advance. He never expected that Jiaxing would fall and he would be the one to take the blame and be punished in the end. As the instigator, Zhao Chongdu, the prefect of Jiaxing, was just a meritorious deed.
Li Tianchong was convinced by Zhu Ping'an who was about to take over. Suzhou was not far from Shaoxing. After the great victory in Suzhou, he also sent people to conduct on-the-spot investigation. It was indeed a great victory that was hard to believe.
Destroyed 40,000 Japanese, destroyed hundreds of Japanese ships, and captured Japanese chieftain Chen Dong
No matter what Li Tianchong thought of Zhu Pingan before, after this great victory, Li Tianchong was convinced of Zhu Pingan Yes.
However, he was still dissatisfied with the imperial court's will.
Why is it that Zhao Chong, the prefect of Jiaxing, who was the initiator of the martyrdom, was able to take the blame and make meritorious service, but Li Tianchong took the blame and was dismissed from the post of censor of Zuo Qiandu and governor of Zhejiang, and was demoted to the fifth rank of Yingtian military doctor? !
liquor? !
Yes, he did drink, but only three drinks
It’s all the damn Yan Dang’s fault! There is a collusion between the same party and against those who are different! Zhao Chong is a member of the Yan Party, so he can make meritorious deeds. He has offended Zhao Wenhua and the Yan Party, so he takes the blame. Damn Zhao Wenhua, damn the Yan Party
However, although it is all the fault of the damn Yan Party, But alcohol is indeed a problem.
Thinking of Governor Zhang’s reminder and this bloody lesson, Li Tianchong made up his mind, gritted his teeth and rushed to the wine cellar with a stick.
"Master, master, ah, that's fifty-year-old Shaoxing daughter's red. One jar is worth fifty taels."
Amidst the exclamations of the servants, Li Tianchong used stick after stick to smash this piece of wine. The 50-year-old Shaoxing Nuerhong, who had just opened her mouth a few days ago, was smashed to pieces, and the mellow wine flowed all over the floor in an instant.
It’s over, it’s all over, the servant hugged himself tightly in pain.
Although it is a pity that I feel distressed, I can also understand that it was this jar of wine that caused the master to eat and suffer. It is normal for the master to smash it.
However, before the servant could recover from his heartache, he saw the master swinging the stick towards another jar of wine next to him.
"Ah, sir, that's top-grade Jinhua wine. It's the dowry wine that Madam brought from the in-laws' family."
The servant only had time to exclaim before he saw Li Tianchong smashing the jar of top-grade Jinhua wine with a few sticks. It was a mess.
“Ah”
Another altar followed.
“Ah”
Another jar.
As the servants screamed, Li Tianchong smashed all the wine in the cellar to pieces.
"From today on, I, Li Tianchong, will never drink alcohol! There is no longer any jar of wine in the house. Even the kitchen is not allowed to use cooking wine when cooking. No one is allowed to drink in the house. If there is Anyone who violates this will be kicked out of the house!”
After Li Tianchong destroyed all the wine in the cellar, he had the wine dug out from the yard and smashed on the spot.
In front of everyone, Li Tianchong announced that he would quit drinking and strictly prohibited alcohol, and no one was allowed to violate it. (End of chapter)
