Fang Liang thought that there was a turnaround, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained the ins and outs to Gu Qinghuan with the master bookkeeper word by word.

It turned out that it was not for anything else, just because He Shi'an took leave.

He Shi'an is Fang Liang's written document, and he is also directly managed by the master of the Shilang Ting, and if he wants to take leave, he must first hand over a note to Fang Liang to obtain his permission to sign, and then go to the master book to officially take leave.

However, when He Shi'an went to Fang Liang to ask for leave yesterday, Fang Liang didn't pay attention to him at all and didn't listen to him after he finished speaking, so he signed the note, forgetting that he still needed to finalize the document and rectify the official document today, and he didn't make advance arrangements.

This old master has always been strong and safe, and he can't allow others to point fingers at his official affairs, not to mention that this is still a trumped-up unjust charge, he naturally can't stand it, so he fell out with Fang Liang.

Fang Liang still refused to admit that this was his own fault, and quibbled: "I remember very clearly, the surname He wrote on the note for one day! I was only able to approve this, who thought that the main book would become a month? He had only been in the Ministry for a few days?

The master bookkeeper took out He Shi'an's fake note and confronted him, but he still didn't admit it, and insisted that He Shi'an changed the strip behind his back, which was arrogant and unreasonable.

Gu Qinghuan looked at him and swore by him, and only said, "In this way, Fang Shilang's memory is really good. ”

Fang Liang said: "I don't dare to say how good it is, anyway, the lower officials will not mistake what they see in their eyes, and they will never dare to be sloppy in official affairs, and they will never make that kind of low-level mistake." ”

"Good. Gu Qinghuan got up, walked to Fang Liang, and said, "Then please Fang Shilang, tell me, what is the content of the article 34 attached to the article 34 that was just completed yesterday?"

"This ......" Fang Liang was dumbfounded, and said with an excuse: "My lord, the official changes the rules are so long and so cumbersome, how can the lower officials remember?"

"Oh, don't you remember, you can't remember what you've read so many times and discussed so many times?" he walked up to Fang Liang, smiled, and pointed to a compiler next to him who had participated in the review of the official revision, and asked him to answer the content of his question.

The compiler blurted out and replied: "Article 34 is about official etiquette and appearance, and the second sub-article is to say that the officials of the imperial court must wear official clothes and strictly abide by the regulations on official etiquette when they are in the office, and behave in a proper manner and have a complete number of etiquette, and if there is any quarrel and chaos in the official office that damages the official etiquette, they should be severely punished, and those who are more clear will be given a warning of punishment, and those who fight and make noise will be fined 20 court rods, and those who are above the fourth rank will be punished with the same crime." ”

"Fourth-grade official?" Fang Liang really felt bad now, "Isn't it the third grade that adds the crime? How can it be the fourth grade?"

Gu Qinghuan's face had already turned cold, and he was facing him, and said: "A subordinate member who helped compile the manuscript next to him has written it down, but Lord Shilang who participates in the discussion every day doesn't remember it? The grade of the official's misdemeanor has been adjusted from the third grade to the fourth grade, and it was determined after many deliberations, and every time you deliberate, aren't you Lord Fang Liang Fang present? Before yesterday's deliberation and issuance, Fang Shilang, you also stamped it together, don't you remember? Fang Shilang, your memory is not very good? The regulations have officially come into effect today, and you happen to be the fourth grade...... ”

Before he finished speaking, Fang Liang had already knelt down, kowtowed and begged: "Please forgive the lower official for this unintentional mistake! The lower official did not deliberately lose his honor! The lower official is willing to accept the punishment, please ...... it."

Gu Qinghuan seemed to have no strength, so he squatted down and continued to face him who was kneeling, "No, Fang Shilang, I won't cure you of the crime of dereliction." ”

Fang Liang bowed and kowtowed excitedly, but listened to him continue: "Your sin is not just a slight dereliction of duty, but a dereliction of duty!"

"I don't even have any impression of what I deliberated about, how can you ask me to forgive you?"

Fang Liang was just like being hit on the head with a stick, and his whole body was paralyzed in shock, and at a very close distance, he didn't dare to look up at Gu Qinghuan, and he couldn't think of words to quibble for a while.

Gu Qinghuan couldn't argue anymore, he looked directly at his head on the ground, and convicted: "The main bookkeeper, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Fang Liang, has no intention of doing anything in government affairs, the corpse is vegetarian, he despises the government decrees and regulations, despises government dereliction of duty, and is punished according to the new official system, with a court rod of thirty and a fine of three months, and will be suspended from today to be reinstated." ”

Fang Liang was about to hug his leg and plead, Gu Qinghuan moved back and raised his arm, and the silent officers next to him rushed to catch his arm and carefully helped him up.

He was surrounded by the crowd and walked out of the Shilang Court, and the embarrassed Fang Liang also got up from the ground and shouted at his back like crazy: "I don't accept it! I don't accept it! Gu Qinghuan! You are framing, you are suppressing subordinates! I will definitely sue the superiors! I will protest upwards!"

Gu Qinghuan stopped and turned his head, his gaze fell on him through several figures that consciously moved to both sides, and smiled indifferently: "Yes, very good, since you are not satisfied with the disposition of the officials and are dissatisfied with the punishment of the officials, then you are welcome to report to the officials, and the officials will definitely give you a fair and just result." ”

Fang Liang was so angry that his muscles burst out, and the moment he met Gu Qinghuan's eyes, the crazy aura was abruptly suppressed, and his arrogance was gone.

Minister, heh, isn't he just a minister?

One fact that kills all.

……

Back in Shangshutang, Gu Qinghuan finally felt clean, and continued to let his subordinates surround him, and then deal with the matter that he had just left behind.

At noon, when the busyness had stopped, and the other officers went to eat or rest, he sat alone in his Shangshu Hall, lying on his desk, not knowing whether to sleep or wake up.

"Eh, are you still alive?"

A flamboyant voice came into my ears.

He heard who it was, and instead of immediately looking up, he smiled: "Unfortunately, it's still alive." ”

He Luoke directly stretched out his hand to push his bun crown and forced him to look up: "I came here a long time ago, didn't you notice it? Lord Shangshu? I have seen how you are so powerful, you are really angry! In the future, I will be relieved to have you cover my brother." ”

He smiled and wondered, "What are you here for?"

He Luoke took out a fruit box from his back and opened it, and inside were small pills: "Send you medicine." ”

He was puzzled, and she continued, don't you like to drink bitter decoction medicine? Sister-in-law said that in this way, grind your tonic into powder and make it into pills, and it will not be bitter when you take it, and you will also add ground preserved fruit to it, which tastes quite sweet, so you can use this as sugar in the future. With that, she shoved the box into his arms.

He took it, thanked him, and asked, "By the way, why did your brother take a long vacation?

She was suddenly speechless, turned around, and sat on his desk with her back to him.

He propped up his body and looked strangely, only to see a line of tears hanging on her face that had been smiling brightly a moment ago.

She said, "It's my sister-in-law...... She was suffering from an incurable disease...... Time is running out......"

Gu Qinghuan became anxious and blurted out, "Ah, isn't she a miracle doctor?

He Luoke turned his head and confronted him, "Yes, she has saved many people, but in the end, she can't save herself......"

……

"Does my father think I'm doing something wrong?"

The three Gu talked about Fang Liang, Gu Qingning thought that Gu Qinghuan's treatment of him was too extreme, and Gu Qinghuan actually realized this himself.

Gu Qingxuan flipped through the names of the guests at the Jiang family's wedding banquet, sighed if he had locked his eyebrows, and said, "Qinghuan, I still don't have a stable heart, your sister is right, this is indeed sloppy." A hateful villain like Fang Liang, it is not possible for you to fight him hard and suppress him in the right way, even if he is knocked down at this time, sooner or later he will come out from somewhere else, block your way, and obstruct your eyes...... What's more, your foundation in the Ministry of Officials has not yet been established, and you are at an important juncture in the reform of officials, it is very irrational to take a four-grade squire as soon as you come. Fang Liang can get to this position in the officialdom today, he has his own ability, and he has a deep influence, you have to pay attention. ”

Gu Qinghuan shrugged, shook the tea dish lightly, and said, "I understand, I will pay attention." Fang Liang still has his usefulness, and I didn't deal with him just because I was angry, I just wanted him, including the officials, to understand whose world the officials were currently in, and the arrogant people should not delay me in big things. ”

Jiang Hechuan praised: "Okay! Our Qinghuan is getting more and more imposing! We should be so prestigious!"

He is not a person in officialdom, and he can't look at things from the same level as Gu Qingxuan and Gu Qingning, and he also feels happy like Gu Qinghuan.

Gu Qinghuan smiled and said to Gu Qingxuan: "Father, don't worry, I won't take it lightly, Fang Liang...... When he comes to his senses, I still have to make good use of his ...... will never give him the opportunity to use Yin Jiheng to tell the truth. ”

After he finished speaking, neither of them spoke, and they were silent for a while, Gu Qinghuan looked at Gu Qingxuan and Gu Qingning opposite, and then said helplessly: "Okay, I know, I will let Yang Longxing come forward to get Fang Liang back, and let Lord Yang use his own experience to enlighten and enlighten my Fang Shilang." ”

Only then did his father and sister smile and nod at him. Jiang Hechuan looked at Sangu from the side, and couldn't help laughing.

When people are happy, they are naturally more cheerful than usual, and the rivers and rivers are very happy these days.

The pearl of his palm, Jiang Xian Song, will be married the day after tomorrow.

Sangu came to have a small gathering with the Jiang family's father and daughter this time to discuss the wedding banquet, after all, the interpersonal communication between the two families is very complicated now, so they have to be cautious, and the guests have to consider the cost of pomp and circumstance on the wedding day.

……

Outside the place of a shot, the carved wooden door of the Jiang family's residence slowly opened, and a person moved out, and the corridor was hung with a colored gauze lamp, and the bright stars fell on her cheeks, leaning down from above, reflecting a fresh face with eyebrows, willow eyebrows like daisies, frowning cheeks, face like powder, smooth complexion like jade, a pair of eyes like stars moving around, in which the light and shadow were clearly extinguished, walking out from under the lamp, the eyes turned to a certain place, suddenly a little shimmering light, red lips smiled, and I didn't know where to fall. If there is any hesitation, the silk brocade skirt flutters and swings through the wind without traces, the tenderness of the eyebrows under the eyes appears, one step at a time dignified and elegant, and there is a romantic attitude.

She came out and appeared in front of them.

Gu Qinghuan was the first to notice Jiang Xiange who came out of the room, his eyes were first surprised, and then a trace of sourness flashed, and then he skillfully covered up, covering up all the waves of pain and emotions with calmness.

She's so beautiful.

Gu Qingning stood up, greeted her, and took her hand a little excitedly, looking at Jiang Xiange's face in disbelief, and said in surprise: "Xiange, your face...... All right?"

Jiang Xiange replied: "Yes, it's all right. I started to use the ointment that Qinghuan gave me a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to work wonders, and the scar was removed in just a few days, and now there is no trace at all. ”

"It's really good...... Gu Qingning looked at Jiang Xiange, who had recovered his original appearance, and secretly sighed at the magic of Fusu's ointment, and his heart could be regarded as a depression.

Gu Qingxuan glanced at Gu Qinghuan with his afterglow, a little worried about his emotions, and then looked at Jiang Xiange and praised him sincerely: "Wonderful! The first beauty of Chang'an is back, and our Xiange will definitely be the best-looking bride in Chang'an City in a few days." ”

Gu Qinghuan laughed, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he took out his demeanor, looked at Jiang Xiange's beautiful and flawless face, and said, "It's so good." ”

The two looked at each other, and Xian Ge inevitably felt a little embarrassed. Gu Qinghuan didn't know what was wrong with him for a while, and with a turn of thought, he overturned all his previous disguises, and asked with a stiff smile: "Xiangge, didn't you say that you want to keep it like that all the time...... What, why did you change your mind again?"

Jiang Xiange couldn't look at him directly, choked for a moment, and then said frankly, "Because I have found someone who does not give me true affection because of my appearance...... It's Rong'an...... And, I'm getting married...... I want everything to be perfect for my wedding reception. ”

Gu Qinghuan got up from the stone table, dusted off the hem of his official uniform, the smile on the corner of his mouth was like a stone carving, lowered his head, raised his face to look at her again, put on a sincere smile, and said to her while stepping back: "Yes, it will be perfect." ”

"I have something to do, I'll go first......" He gave her one last look, turned and left.

Gu Qingning caught up, grabbed him at the corner of the corridor, and dragged his arm, "Qinghuan ......"

He turned his head, and Gu Qingning saw that he was still smiling, and there were only distressing tears in his eyes, which were calmly revealed in front of his sister.

He pulled out his hand, walked out, and said to her, "It's okay, sister, I'm really fine, I won't be as stupid as before." It's just that...... It's still hard to let her go completely. Anyway, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. ”

Gu Qingning patted him on the back as comfort, and whispered to him: "Qinghuan, my sister knows that you are a strong person, you will always get through, and there will be a more suitable person to replace her for the rest of your life...... It's just Qinghuan, I'm worried about the string song. ”

Gu Qingning knew him best, instead of comforting, it was better to divert his attention, and sure enough, he suddenly got out of his gloomy mood, became nervous, and asked, "Why?"

Gu Qingning sighed and said, "She will marry, but the Yang family, isn't this worth worrying about?" Although Yang Rongan is very good and will not lose the string song, but Yang Longxing is a big problem, isn't it?"

He began to think, "Didn't Yang Rongan say that they would not live in the Yang Mansion after they got married, but moved to his Shilang Mansion......

She said: "It's not a question of where we live, as soon as Xian Ge marries in the past, don't say how her father-in-law behaves will not disturb her, just say that our relationship with the Yang family, Yang Longxing is now controlled by us, can he not hate us? At present, he is safe and sound, but what about later? If we want to be enemies of Yang Longxing, where will Xian Ge and Yang Rong be placed? If we want to deal with the Yang family, how can we not hurt them? Why do you think my father was disgusted with this family affair before, and even almost had a conflict with Uncle Jiang? Not because of this problem? And sooner or later we will have to face this ......"

Gu Qinghuan thought for a while and said, "What if we have been controlling Yang Longxing and not being an enemy of the Yang family?" Sister, do we have to put Yang Longxing to death?"

Gu Qingning asked him rhetorically: "What do you think? Even if we let him go, will he let us go?"

Thinking of the current situation, Gu Qinghuan had no choice but to face reality: "Okay, I know it's difficult. But, sister, we might as well try, just for the sake of the string song......"

Gu Qingning had no choice but to agree with him, "Okay, just for the string song." Then you have to pay attention, and you have to be more careful about the future father-in-law of Xian Ge. ”

Gu Qinghuan nodded, and then left, out of the backyard door of the Jiang Mansion, and when he was thinking about it, he heard someone saluting him, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Tang Huan who came back from outside and a few other maids of Jiang Xiange.

He suddenly thought about it, called Tang Huan aside, and asked her, "Can you bring a dowry girl when your young lady gets married?"

Tang Huan smiled and replied: "The son is really good at laughing, how can there be a marriage without a dowry girl, let alone a rich businessman's family like our master." ”

Gu Qinghuan was familiar with her, and knew that Jiang Xiange had always been closest to Tang Huan, so he said, "Then her dowry girl must be you, right?"

Tang Huan nodded proudly: "Of course, I can't leave Miss." ”

He took a step back and bowed to her, which made her panic all at once, "Childe, childe, why is this? ”

Gu Qinghuan suppressed his voice and said with a straight face: "I have something I want to ask Tang Huan to you, and please keep it confidential and don't tell anyone......
