(Thank you to the traveler for _C the coins rewarded, Momoda)

When Xiao Diyuan returned to his fiefdom Shuangzhu City, it was already half a month later, and it was only two days before August 15, so Xiao Diyuan sat down on a chair and asked Ding Cong for the list of Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for Emperor Xiao Hong.

He had rushed to Zhaoguo because he learned that Jiang Yuetang's life was dying, and he didn't have time to explain the matter for a while, but he wrote a letter back when he was in Zhaoguo, and listed some things he thought were necessary on the letter, and the rest was supplemented by Ding Cong according to the situation.

Ding Cong immediately submitted the list and said with a smile: "The slave added three specialties from here on his own initiative, and the amount added is not much. ”

Xiao Diyuan saw it and felt that he had arranged everything extremely properly, so he closed the list with a smile and said, "Well, that's good." ”

Ding Cong hurriedly said: "The servants who are ordered by the prince naturally have to do their best to do it, and they can't worry about the prince." After that, he whispered in Xiao Diyuan's ear: "Lord Wang, the slave has sent someone to secretly inquire about Guan Lin's life experience and other circle of friends." ”

Xiao Diyuan put down the teacup and waited for him to continue.

Ding Cong then closed the door, and then said to Xiao Diyuan: "His grandfather has been the prefect of Boye Prefecture for more than 20 years, and he has a good reputation during his tenure, and he has also done a lot of practical things for the locality, so he has made friends with many local officials and magnates. When he arrived at his father, he had a higher position and made the imperial history of the capital, but later heard that his father had a relationship with the wife of a certain Shangshu, and for a period of time the two had frequent tryst/meetings in private, which caused a romance/rhyme/incident, which was known to the Shangshu soon after, and the Shangshu then joined other high-ranking officials to squeeze his father, making his father's reputation discredited for a while. The emperor remembered that his father had made a lot of contributions to the imperial court, so he did not pursue the matter of his father and the wife of the Shangshu, and happily allowed his father to return to his hometown, and let his father be the county magistrate of Fenghuang County.

So, his father came back with the old and the young, dragging the family with him. After coming back, he did a lot of practical things to benefit the people in Fenghuang County, and his reputation slowly recovered, so his reputation in Fenghuang County and even the entire Shuangzhu City was quite good. ”

Xiao Diyuan remained silent and continued to wait for him to say.

Ding Cong continued: "It is said that although his father returned to Shuangzhu City, his heart remained with the woman, and he quietly returned to the capital several times to meet her, and once he was caught by her eldest son, and he jumped out of the window and fled without even wearing clothes. According to reliable sources, the woman later became pregnant with a child, and the child belonged to his father, but the child died of illness before he was three years old, and it is not known whether it was really a death or a poison at the hands of the book, and since then, the woman has been completely separated from his father and has not seen him again. Three years earlier, however, when his father was dying, the woman had sent a letter in which she had missed him all these years, and his father had written her the same warm letter with the last of his strength, and died with a satisfied smile. ”

"Who did you hear about these things from?" Xiao Diyuan asked with a frown.

These things are obviously gossip.

Ding Cong hurriedly said: "I learned about it from several of his relatives and friends. ”

It seems that there is still a certain degree of credibility, Xiao Diyuan did not say anything more.

Ding Cong continued: "Maybe he didn't want his son to know about the bad rumors that he had been in the capital, when he learned the news that Guan Lin had been in the Jinshi, his father immediately wrote to Guan Lin, asking him to return to his hometown to do things, not to stay in the capital, and listed all kinds of disadvantages of staying in the capital to do things, Guan Lin listened to him, came back immediately after obtaining the fame, and has been an official in Shuangzhu City since then.

Because his grandfather and father both knew many dignitaries, Guan Lin's current circle of friends is all over the capital, Boyezhou and Shuangzhu City, and his connections are quite wide. ”

Ding Cong looked at Xiao Diyuan and continued: "As for Guan Lin, the slave has also found someone to understand it carefully, and this person also has some real talents and is willing to take responsibility, so if the prince has something to do, he can rest assured that he will do it." And this man has a sweet mouth and is exquisite, he can eat anywhere, and he won't get you in trouble......."

Before Ding Cong could finish speaking, someone knocked on the door outside and reported: "Lord Wang, the head of Qingquan District is asking to see you." ”

It's really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Ding Cong hurriedly shut up.

Xiao Diyuan straightened his sitting posture and said loudly: "Let him come in." ”

Guan Lin came in in a formal suit with a smile on his face, and as soon as he entered the house, he saluted Xiao Diyuan and said, "The prince is finally back, and the officials will miss you these days." Then he asked with concern, "Is everything done?"

He only knew that Xiao Diyuan had gone to the eastern region because of an emergency, and he didn't know what it was.

In the nearly one month that Xiao Diyuan was not in Shuangzhu City, Guan Lin's daughter Guan Lingyu was committing unrequited love every day, and when she learned that Xiao Diyuan was back, she hurriedly asked her father to come to see her, and asked her father to find a way to ask Xiao Diyuan to come out to meet her.

More than a month ago, Xiao Diyuan promised to teach her calligraphy when he was free, and now, his original promise has become a good reason for her to meet him.

Xiao Diyuan motioned for Guan Lin to sit down and replied, "Well, it's all done, thank you for your concern." Then he asked about the situation in Shuangzhu City in the past month.

As the representative of the district head, Guan Lin has the responsibility to report to Xiao Diyuan on the situation in Shuangzhu City.

Guan Lin immediately submitted the work report, and then talked about it one by one.

Shuangzhu City is just a small city, and each district has a competent district mayor to manage it, so Xiao Diyuan's departure for a month or two will naturally not have a big impact, so Guan Lin's report is basically good news.

The only thing that was not so good was that it came from local riots, but it was brought under control soon after the incident, so there were no fatalities.

Xiao Diyuan nodded with satisfaction after listening to his report, and said, "The district chief has worked hard. ”

Guan Lin hurriedly said: "This is what the lower officials should do, and the prince should not be polite." He smiled again and said, "The prince has just come back from the dusty field, and he must be very tired, right? ”

Xiao Diyuan nodded and asked Ding Cong to send him.

Guan Lin was escorted out of the palace office by Ding Cong, and slowly walked to the carriage waiting on the side.

When he was about to get into the carriage, Guan Lin turned back to Ding Cong and said, "There is a small river about three miles east from here, and there is a very chic little teahouse by the river, if the prince wants to have a casual afternoon tea, you can take him there." ”
