Chapter 499 Promotion

In late April of the 11th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin's transfer order recalled Di Zhixun, who was far away in Kuizhou for nearly 11 years, to Chang'an City. Di Zhixun changed from the original Kuizhou Chief Secretary and became the Minister of the Secretariat of the Secretariat under the Secretariat. From the third rank to the fifth rank, he was two levels higher than the original fifth rank, and he was considered an extremely powerful minister.

This is a happy event, a great event that Di Zhixun had been waiting for more than ten years and had his hair and beard turned gray. Therefore, after handling the handover with the next chief minister who came to take office, Di Zhixun was busy taking the already-cleaned salute, leading his family to protect the hospital, and bid farewell to Fengjie's colleagues, relatives and friends, and rushed to Chang'an.

As for the eldest lady of the Di family who had pretended to be injured in the marriage, she accidentally met Dilu during a trip near Kuimen a month ago and was forced to come back by Dilu. She had been locked in the mansion for more than a month and had been embroidered with her handkerchiefs in the mansion for more than a month. She could not get out of the mansion. It was not until this happy event in Di's mansion that she was able to go out and rush back to the old house in Chang'an with her family.

On the way back to Chang'an, in the carriage, Di Zhizhi supported her jaw with one hand, her elbow fell on the window, her eyes were staring at the lush spring scenery outside with a little careless look, and her expression on her face was lonely. From the age of five to Fengjie, Di Zhizhi lived in Fengjie, in the "Zhenwu Temple", with her master and junior sister and younger brother, for eleven years. There are so many memories and reluctances in this place. Now she can leave and I don't know when she can go back again. The little girl's heart is a little empty.

Di Shijie and Di Renjie, who were in the same car as Di Zhizhi, were in a great mood at the moment. The two little heads squeezed into another window of the carriage, pointing to the flowers, plants and trees outside, chattering endlessly. They could not go to school and face the old master in the mansion who always had an old face and often added them to the ruler. The two little guys were so happy. During the two days of travel, they were extremely happy every day, as if they were on a trip.

"Xiaojie, look, that bird is actually a flower-colored person, and it doesn't have a tail yet, so ugly!" Seeing the rare things, Di Shijie hurriedly pushed Di Renjie next to him, reached out of the window, pointed to a small tree behind, and shouted at Di Renjie.

"Wow, it's really, such an ugly bird!" Di Renjie couldn't help but scream loudly, and a funny expression appeared on his face.

"You two, can you be quiet?" Awakened by the laughter of the two younger brothers, Di Zhizhi scolded them angrily: "It's a shock, what kind of tyrant? If your parents are there, you two will be scolded again."

"I understand, sister!" The two little guys stuck out their tongues at Di Zhizhi, and then Di Renjie looked out the window again and said with some regret: "It's a pity that I have gone far away. Sister can't see it. Otherwise, if I saw such an ugly bird, my sister wouldn't have such a bitter face."

"Yes, Sister Zhizhi, the bird had no tail just now, the fur on its body was messy, and it seemed that there were two pendants on its chin, which was really ugly!" Di Shijie also echoed.

"It's just a pheasant, what's there to make a fuss about? You two are quieter!" He glanced at the two little guys in anger and warned them a little. Di Zhizhi held her jaw and looked at the road outside the carriage unhappily.

The current season is approaching May, spring is about to pass, the weather is warm, and the flowers are fragrant and birds are singing. The best time of the year. If they were in Fengjie, they would be rafting on Qutang Gorge and having fun with their junior brothers and sisters in the master's sect.

"Is it a pheasant? Why is it different from what I saw in the countryside before?" Di Shijie looked at Di Zhizhi with some confusion, but when he saw his cousin again, he was about to ask, but he was holding back his words. It was rare that his cousin is so peaceful now that he doesn't want to provoke her again, so as not to cause fists and kicks from this brute-force and violent sister.

Although he had been in Di's Mansion for less than half a year and had not been with Di Zhizhi for a long time, Di Shijie and Di Renjie, the two boys, have been beaten by many of this sisters in the past six months. So in his heart, Di Shijie felt a little afraid of his beautiful cousin, just like when he was with his mother before. Although he was beaten, his body hurts, but he can't feel any hatred in his heart.

"When you arrive in Chang'an, you will see Mr. Yifan." No longer considering the question of whether to be a wild or not, Di Shijie lowered his head and gathered with his little cousin, and said in a low voice, "I haven't heard of Mr.'s coursework for so long, and I really have some thoughts. Some time ago, did Sister Xier come to the letter to her uncle, saying that her master's wife had given us a junior brother? I don't know what the junior brother looks like. When I arrived in Chang'an City, I will definitely be the first to see it!"

"Yes, I'm going too!" Di Renjie also spoke and said, "I still want to hear the story of Mr. Tsai. Last time, Mr. Tsai only told half of the story of Holmes, and then left in a hurry, leaving a small tail. I still can't figure it out."

"A stinky teacher who is not brave and does not do his job and only knows how to tell stories to coax children. What do you think about?" After hearing the words of the two little guys, Di Zhizhi curled her lips slightly, but when it comes to the two little guys' master's wife, she has not seen each other for so many days. Di Zhizhi missed Zhang Chuchu, the kind and close sister Zhang, and wanted to go over and see her, and the child she had just given birth.

Perhaps it was good to go to Chang'an. When I think of Sister Zhang, Di Zhizhi couldn't help but think of Su Chenxi, Li Rusi, who should be in Chang'an now, and Grandpa Su, who has not seen her for many years. I remember that when I was a child, Grandpa Su loved her tightly. She hasn't seen each other again for so many years. I wonder if his body is still so tough now?

Thinking of these acquaintances, Di Zhizhi's mouth curled slightly, her expression on her face was slightly soft, and her mood became a little better. Some of these acquaintances in Chang'an City should not be too lonely there.

"'Sanyuan Tea' is a good tea, but it's too expensive," Di Zhixun personally brewed tea and pinched the strips of tea in the tea box, and said to Dilu softly: "Just like this, it takes one or two taels to taste the tea in the tea box. Compared with the 'Three Bowls of "Get drunk'" that are more than ten times more expensive than the gold price, the price is more than enough gold. I don't expect that the Sanyuan Liu Mansion is Liu Yi no longer there, but what he did is still so grand and beyond expectations."

"What the master said is right." After taking the fragrant tea handed over by Di Zhixun, Dilu echoed, then handed the tea bowl to his mouth and savored it in a small mouthful.

"I haven't returned to Chang'an for eleven years, and now I finally have a chance. Logically speaking, I should be ecstatic and full of energy," I lifted up the lid of the bowl, blew the tea leaves floating in the tea bowl, and covered the lid of the bowl again. Di Zhixun glanced at his wife and said, "But now, my heart is full of melancholy. I also feel a little reluctant to leave Kuizhou, Fengjie, and the place where I have lived for more than ten years."

Putting down the tea bowl, Di Zhixun gently stroked the beard that was not very long on his chin, lifted it in front of him, and said, "When the emperor was transferred to Kuizhou, my beard was still black and was in his prime. But now, the eleven years of wind and frost have turned the black beard and black hair on his head into a white color, and his spirit and strength are far worse than that of the past, I am old."

When he spoke, Di Zhixun's expression was mostly lonely. When he was in Kuizhou, he had worked hard every day for 11 years, mostly for the promotion. However, now, the emperor's imperial edict has really arrived, and their family will be able to return to the old house in Chang'an immediately, but Di Zhixun's heart seemed a little empty and a little sad.

As time goes by, I am nearly fifty years old, no one likes to become old.

"The old horse is in the stable and has a thousand ambitions. The master is only at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven. Compared to Mr. Su, Duke Yi and others are far behind, so there is no need to sigh like this!" Seeing that his husband seemed a little depressed and unhappy, Dilu advised him, "The reason why the emperor valued the master this time and asked the master to do the Minister of the Secretariat in the Secretariat is that he is the experience he has accumulated in Kuizhou in the past eleven years?"

"After ten years of hard work, in my opinion, the eleven years of Kui Prefecture Chief Historian is the emperor's special hard work for you." Dilu looked at Di Zhixun and said, "Now, it's time for the emperor to unsheath the master's sword."

"Teach the auspicious words of my wife!" Di Zhixun's words comforted him a lot. He picked up the tea bowl and slapped it, calmed down his mind, and soon let his thoughts come out of his depression just now.
