Chapter 58: The Ghost of the Mountain Villa (2)

"Kaifeng?"

Qin Fang also heard the news and rushed over, and when he came in, he heard the news that Su Yunkai had been transferred back to Beijing. Although he doesn't like to get involved in the affairs of the court, he is the child of the Guogong family, and he is a delicate son, so he feels strange when he hears it.

Bai Shui asked, "Isn't it good to turn back to Kaifeng?" It's better than the government. ”

Mingyue also asked, "Yes, isn't it good?" ”

Qin Fang shook his head and read the official letter on it again, "You see, my brother-in-law is going to serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. ”

"How many products is that?"

"Three products."

"So what kind of products are the adults now?"

"Four pins."

Bai Shui was inexplicable, "Isn't this a good thing?" How old are the adults, and they will become a third-grade official. ”

Qin Fang shook his head, "You think, originally my brother-in-law was the boss in the Criminal Division, and he was in charge of the criminal prison affairs on the Daimyofu Road, and he had the power to supervise the state and county officials under his jurisdiction, but now, ...... Now there is a Shangshu on it, and he is still in charge of the affairs of the imperial examination and the vassals, no matter how you think about it, it feels like he has been demoted. ”

His explanation, Bai Shui and Mingyue understood, and when analyzed, he was indeed demoted, and he was also deprived of his real power in the imperial court. And Mingyue couldn't figure it out, "Haven't you been serving in places related to the prison since you joined the office, if you are asked to go back to Kaifeng Yamen or something, you will return to your own job." But now the waiter of the Ministry of Rites can't match it no matter how you look at it. ”

The three of them noticed and were confused, and Su Yunkai also thought of it, but like them, there was no way to know why.

Suddenly transferred, or in this way, I am afraid that it is not the meaning of the saint, but someone brought up this matter next to him, so that he has only been in office for a few months and changed places.

The fourth rank was promoted to the third grade, and it looked like he was promoted, and he became the minister of the third rank at a young age, which sounds good, but in fact, as Qin Fang said, he was deprived of his real power, and even completely stripped him of the prison aspect.

Moreover, this appointment came in a hurry, and the date urging him to take up his post was also very urgent, and he could only arrive in Kaifeng as scheduled by leaving tomorrow.

Qin Fang already lives in Kyoto, so he can naturally pack his bags immediately. Bai Shui's long-cherished wish was to go to Kaifeng to find her brother, Su Yunkai said that he would arrange for her to enter the government or the criminal department, and she did not hesitate at all. When I left the study, I thought of Mingyuelai, I heard that there was no yamen in Kaifeng to accept women to do things, and after Su Yunkai entered the Ministry of Rites, she was completely out of prison, and she could no longer stay by her side.

Kaifeng has no official office to accept her, so what should I do?

Mingyue saw that Qin Fang and Bai Shui had gone out to clean up, so she remembered her situation, and was silent in front of the table for a while, "You have to leave tomorrow, right?" ”

Su Yunkai nodded, "You also go and pack your things, girls have always had more things than men, go quickly." ”

Mingyue looked at him for a while, and Su Yunkai looked down at herself, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm thinking...... I can't seem to go to Kaifeng. ”

Su Yun was stunned, "Why?" ”

Mingyue looked at him for a long time, "Will the government in Kaifeng accept me?" The little monkey also said just now, the water is not a problem, but my words...... Who but you will take me as a servant? If you can't do it, what can you do when you open it? ”

Su Yunkai understood what she was hesitating about, and after thinking about it, it seemed that there was really no place for the officials in Kaifeng to accept her, "Actually, it's okay to go to Kaifeng to play, after all, it is the hinterland of our Great Song Dynasty, and at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are many strange things that even the Daimyo Mansion does not have." Seeing that she was still thinking, he continued, "Bai Shui is going to Kaifeng, you can be a neighbor with her, so that Bai Shui can rest assured, and I can rest assured." ”

Now that the relationship between the two is unknown, they will leave tomorrow, Su Yunkai thinks that it may be a good thing to go back to Kaifeng, his family is now in Kaifeng, and when the time comes, he will go to invite Mingyue's grandfather. If Mingyue returns to Nanle County now, he can't disobey the imperial court's order, and when he has time to go to Nanle County, he doesn't know when it will be.

If you find it clear now, Mingyue won't be able to follow him to Kaifeng, after all, the matter didn't say that the relationship between the two or Shangfeng's subordinates was not opened, and she said that she had no name and followed him to Kaifeng, so that others would know that she had to say that she was not.

Let Mingyue go back to Nanle County alone Su Yunkai is not at ease, thinking about it, it is best for her to go to Kaifeng to play in the name of going to Kaifeng first, and then continue to make plans for her.

Mingyue knew in his heart that he had just invited him on Qixi Festival, and he didn't want to be separated, he would definitely be busy for a while when he returned to Kaifeng, and when he came to Nanle County again, it might be another half a year. And when I went back, I didn't know that the county would see her, and she would definitely not be asked to do it, and she didn't stay at home to embroider.

It's better to go to Kaifeng to play, at least there is a piece of white water to go.

"Well, I haven't been to Kaifeng either, so it's good to see and see."

Su Yunkai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly, "Go pack your baggage, you have to leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Mingyue nodded, and then complained, "That official is also strange, you leave in such a hurry, you have to leave behind how many things you can't explain carefully, and you're not afraid that something will go wrong." ”

Her simple sentence made Su Yunkai think more. He has been in the officialdom for many years, and he feels incredible, but now he has no time to think about it, and when Mingyue is gone, he called someone to come, and worked all night to explain the important things at hand, and let his subordinates take charge of it first.

&&&&&

It is not far from the Daimyo's Mansion to Kaifeng, and it takes seven or eight days to arrive.

Su Yunkai immediately went to work in the Ministry of Rites when he arrived in Kyoto, although it was much easier than in the Criminal Division, but after all, it was a new official who took office, and he almost learned from scratch, and he didn't have time to find Mingyue for a while, so he told Qin Fang to take care of her.

Qin Fang didn't go home for a long time, and stayed at home for two days, so he kept taking Bai Shui and Mingyue, who had not yet gone to work, to play. Two days later, Bai Shui went to the government to catch fast, and Qin Fang ran around with Mingyue.

Both of them have simple and cheerful personalities, and they love to play without twisting, Qin Fang takes her with him wherever he goes, and people who don't know ask him when he has a younger sister. Of course, Qin Fang replied that she was not a sister, but just a friend.

But when men and women get too close to each other in the world, this sentence becomes absurd. came and went, and it reached Yan Guogong's ears.

Yan Guogong knew that his son was fun, so he didn't take the girl to heart, but Mrs. Qin was more thoughtful, and said, "In the past, when he mentioned the red faces around him, he was talking about friends, but he didn't say good friends. ”

Yan Guogong didn't even raise his head, stared at the book in his hand and answered.

Mrs. Qin said again, "It's time for my son to start a family." ”

Yan Guogong replied lightly.

Mrs. Qin said hurriedly, "When you get married, you won't run around anymore." ”

Yan Guogong raised his head at this time, thought for a while and said, "Go find out who that girl is." ”

Mrs. Qin showed her face, and she didn't blame him for ignoring her son just now, the tempers of the two fathers and sons were not at all the same, she worked hard in it, and she was happy to keep her son in Kyoto, "This is what it looks like to be a father." ”

Tomorrow is Qixi Festival, Qin Fang sent Mingyue home early, and when he left, he still dangled at the door of Baishui's house next door for a while, knowing that Baishui was busy in the yamen, but he still guarded it for a while. I didn't go home until sunset, go back tonight to get a good night's sleep, and come early tomorrow morning to block her, so that she can leave a free night for herself.

When I returned home, as soon as I entered the gate, the next person said, "The old lady has something to ask about the young master." ”

Qin Fang felt that he had been trained in the past, although he didn't know what he had done wrong, but in the eyes of his father, he was a son-in-law who didn't learn and didn't know how to do anything, and he could only eat, drink and have fun. Obviously, being a little marquis is indeed a role of eating, drinking, and having fun, and he is more motivated, but he has to be vigilant by the court, he takes retreat as advance, so he pretends to be confused for a lifetime, at least he can be stable for a lifetime.

When he arrived at the door, his hearty face in the day unconsciously became strict, and he was even more sluggish. The servant knocked on the door for him, and the door was opened.

Qin Fang went into the house to greet his parents, Mrs. Qin called him up, and Qin Fang got up and sat aside, waiting to be trained.

Yan Guo said openly, "You have been very close to a girl named Mingyue recently, I have checked, her background is very bad, but she is also a woman from a good family." If you just want to have fun, don't ruin her Mingsheng. If you want to marry her, don't expect her to enter the Qin family. ”

Qin Fang blinked, and it took a while to react, "...... Mingyue and I are really just good friends, and ......"

- And he called Su Yunkai's brother-in-law, then Mingyue is his sister, not at all what you think. He forcibly swallowed the second half of the sentence, he didn't want to "betray" the two of them, tomorrow would be Qixi Festival, but he couldn't let them spread the words to the ears of the Su family, and he blocked them like he did today.

But...... He thought that although the Su family was enlightened, the uncle of the Su family was also a very stubborn person, and with Mingyue's background, it was also very difficult to enter the Su family. But Su Yunkai is not like him, who has to rely on his father's shade to get glory, if he insists, the Su family may not make things difficult for Mingyue.

Thinking about it, he still doesn't have enough of his own skills.

However, when he mentioned it today, he already vaguely felt that it would be very difficult for Bai Shui to enter the gate of the Qin family in the future.

When Mrs. Qin saw him, she didn't say anything for a long time, and she saw the clue, "Do you really like that girl, but you are just afraid of your father's blame and say that you are a friend?" ”

Qin hurriedly waved his hand, "It's really not, my son has someone he likes." ”

Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "Which family's daughter, my mother begged for you." ”

Of course, Qin Fang wouldn't say that he couldn't say until he found Bai Ying and solved the Bai family's affairs, "Anyway, it's not Miss Mingyue, I'm entrusted to take care of her." And is the son the kind of bastard who molests a good woman? ”

Yan Guogong glanced at him, he knew at a glance what his son was thinking, he really had nothing to do with that girl, but he still had something to hide, it was still a big deal, and he could hide it, but sooner or later he would say it one day, he was not in a hurry.

Qin Fang escaped the catastrophe, and returned to the room with a solemn expression that had not yet unfolded. He leaned against the door, thinking about the white water, and the burden that had not yet arrived but weighed down like Mount Tai, and his heart was very stuffy.

After today, it is Tanabata.

The moon of Tanabata is not round, like a tooth hanging in the sky.

Mingyue looked at the moon in the courtyard, and remembered that when Su Yunkai was in the mansion, he said that he was looking for her to see the lanterns on Qixi Festival, and now that it has been so long, I don't know if he still remembers.

It's fun to play with Qin Fang every day, but it's good to always want to be accompanied by Su Yunkai.

Tanabata......

Mingyue lay on the stone table, reading these two words, like a magic spell, haunting her heart, she was destined to not sleep well tonight.

As she thought about it, there seemed to be footsteps in the alley outside, getting closer and closer, and getting lighter and lighter as she got closer. She sat up straight, how could she listen...... It's all like thieves.

She swallowed, bent down and walked lightly to the firewood to pick out a wooden stick that was good for beating people, and put it close to the back of the door, waiting for the thief to come in and knock him out with a stick!

"Knock knock."

Hey? Will a thief knock on the door?

Mingyue's vigilance was lowered for the most part, and the male voice outside the door was low and familiar, like a warbler's cry floating into her heart.

"Mingyue, are you asleep?"
