In the most noisy and lively street market in Hangzhou, there is only a wide alley but it is extremely clean, only to see that the road in this alley can be four cars side by side, clean almost not a trace of dust, and in this alley sits a very wide and bright mansion, the high hanging plaque is written with the words "Governor's Yamen", the stone lion in front of the door sits there awe-inspiringly, suddenly seems to be able to see them open their mouths and roar, not angry and arrogant. Outsiders only glance away from the outside, and they can feel the solemnity and majesty that intimidate others.

And all the way to the inner courtyard of the Governor's Yamen Mansion, under the bright sun, I saw that the trees in the courtyard were verdant, the green leaves put the sunlight into mottled light and shadow, the stars fell on the ground under the trees, the pavilions and verandahs in the distance, the lotus pond flower garden and the scenery of the outer courtyard were completely different, and there was more comfort and ease at home.

Because it was the height of summer, this Hangzhou Mansion was even more humid and hot, and the people lying on the trunks and branches of the trees knew that they couldn't stand the hot heat, and the long hoarse sounds came and went, which made people feel unprovoked.

Seeing that it was getting noon, the fireball-like sun was hanging in the middle, the heat seemed to be on the back, not even the slightest wind, the servants in the courtyard walked, often a dripping hot sweat, couldn't help but fan with their sleeves, even the wind was a hot wind, and the people who only fan were even hotter and hotter.

At this moment, a man who looked like a butler was walking under the porch, about forty or fifty years old, with a beard, although his expression was calm when he walked, but his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, his forehead was obviously soaked in sweat, but his feet did not stop at all, as if he did not feel the heat at all.

When he turned to a very quiet courtyard, he saw that green bamboo was planted all over it, and the high bamboo branches stretched out above his head, and the overlapping bamboo leaves blocked the sunlight a lot, and it was a little cooler to walk under it.

The butler quickly crossed the road under his feet, went straight up the steps, stood in front of the closed door, knocked lightly, and did not seem to hear a response, and then the bowed waist carefully pressed down a little, and the sound of slamming the door became much more patient.

"Who?"

A man's deep and somewhat majestic voice sounded in the room, and the butler immediately said, "My lord, it's small. ”

There was silence in the room for a moment, and then the man was heard again faintly say, "Come in." ”

The housekeeper gently pushed the door with both hands, and suddenly felt the coolness on his face soaked into the skin, refreshing and comfortable, as the door was covered again, the housekeeper turned to go inside, and saw a lot of ice in the corner of the room, and the ice cubes that had just been taken out were sizzling and cold, falling into the air little by little, and almost instantly dissipated the heat on his body.

When he walked through the veil and walked to the inside, he saw a person wearing only a loose coat, although his expression was indifferent, but it was difficult to hide his majesty, it seemed that he should be in the year of not being confused, at this moment he was leaning on the bamboo couch with a paper fan in his hand, there was a pair of shakes, his slightly gray hair was coiled up, and he only held it with a wooden hairpin, leisurely and comfortable.

"Your Excellency. ”

Hearing the butler's voice, the man's slightly wrinkled eyelids raised lazily, glanced at the person standing respectfully in front of him, and then said leisurely: "What's the matter." ”

"The people of the capital have arrived. ”

As soon as the words fell, the person who had been sleeping peacefully on the couch opened his eyes almost instantly, sat up immediately, and tightened the paper fan with a leisurely expression, and said with a look that gradually sank and seriously: "Where is it?"

Seeing this, the housekeeper didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "I'm forgetting the immortal residence." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the person who was still sitting on the bamboo couch had already stood up, stretched out his hands flatly, and immediately urged in a deep voice: "Quick, change clothes." ”

The butler seemed to have expected it, and immediately bypassed the screen and took out the official uniform of the governor of Zhejiang, and quickly and carefully put it on for him. When he finally put the black gauze hat on the ground, Zhao Wenjing, the governor of Zhejiang, had already hurriedly thrown his sleeves and went out, and the housekeeper knew that the matter was urgent, and he did not dare to delay more, so he hurriedly rushed up.

Fang Xing to the door, Zhao Wenjing Fang crossed the threshold, suddenly remembered something, hurriedly turned around again, and when the housekeeper was surprised, he heard him say in a low voice: "Go and get a charcoal basin." ”

The housekeeper was stunned when he heard this, but he thought he had heard it wrong, until he received a cold look from Zhao Wenjing, and immediately shrunk his neck, ran out like a fly, and asked people to bring it to him.

When the door was tightly closed, Zhao Wenjing walked to the bookshelf almost familiarly, as if he took out a book casually, took out a letterhead from it, and turned around, before the housekeeper saw it clearly, he saw a random hand in his hand, and the envelope fell into the charcoal basin, only to see the tongue of fire suddenly burned, and the snow-white envelope was wrapped in it.

"Lord Governor, Lord Han and Lord Xie of the military department have arrived at the gate of the mansion. ”

At this moment, the voice of a small guy suddenly sounded outside the door, which shocked Zhao Wenjing slightly, it was so fast?

Zhao Wenjing looked back at the burning envelope, and immediately calmed down, then opened the door, looked up at the little guy waiting in front of him, and said: "Take this charcoal basin first, and bury it for me when it is clean." ”

The little guy was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded quickly and said, "Yes, the little one will go." ”

As soon as the words fell, the little guy was not afraid of the heat, so he stepped forward and picked up the charcoal basin and walked out, Zhao Wenjing couldn't delay any longer, and hurriedly walked out.

When he walked quickly to the front of the mansion, he saw two people standing in front of the sedan chair, although they looked extremely young, but the bearing of just standing there was already extraordinary.

Zhao Wenjing almost quickened his pace again, and the corners of the official uniform made a sound from one place to another, until the moment he crossed the threshold, he could see Zhao Wenjing's face with a familiar and enthusiastic smile, and he actually hugged his fists and said: "Commander Han, Lord Xie Yunxie, the two Qincha have traveled all the way, it is really hard." ”

While speaking, Xie Yun and Han Zhen had also stepped forward, Han Zhen's expression was as flat as ever, and the gentleness between Xie Yun's eyebrows was also natural and without the slightest side of things, which made people extremely comfortable to watch.

Zhao Wenjing is the feudal official of the imperial court, and Han Zhen, the commander of Jinyiwei, is still a few points inferior, not to mention Xie Yun, an official of the Ministry of War, but now Xie Yun and Han Zhen are the emperor's cha, which is equivalent to Qincha, such an identity, it is not surprising that Zhao Wenjing is so eager to meet in person.

"Xiaguan Xie Yun and Lord Han led His Majesty to send them this time, passing through the land of the Governor, but I am afraid that the Governor will take care of them more. ”

Seeing Xie Yun in front of him say this, Zhao Wenjing immediately helped Xie Yun with both hands and said with a smile: "Zhao is not talented, and the others can't share it for the two, but everything that can be done should help each other." ”

"Then thank you Governor Zhao. ”

Hearing this, Han Zhen finally raised his hand and clenched his fists, and his words were a little more relaxed, Zhao Wenjing saw that his eyes moved slightly, and then he turned to make way out, stretched out his left hand and said: "Since you have arrived at the mansion, please invite the two of you to sit inside, this summer day in Hangzhou is the most unbearable, if you let the two of you stand outside this mansion and speak, it is not Zhao's." ”

As soon as he said this, the three of them pushed each other, and then they walked in together.
