An Zhichen went to Jingning Houfu, met Luo Shao, and told Luo Shao about Zhou Shu's prolific presence in the capital.

Luo Shao's face was very calm, and he asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

An Zhichen's purpose is very clear: "I can't let him escape this time, I must catch him." "Last time he let Zhou Shu escape in Haikou, this time he must not let Zhou Shu escape from the capital again.

Luo Shao naturally wouldn't deny An Zhichen's intentions, the hatred of taking his wife is unbearable for a man. In the past, it was okay if you couldn't find someone, but now that you find someone, you will definitely not let it go: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

An Zhichen said his plan. To put it simply, the three sons have put a master around them to protect them, and then find a stand-in for Kexin, as for Kexin, he wants to put it in Jingning Houfu.

Luo Shao pondered for a moment and said, "It's difficult to find a little girl who is similar to Kexin in a short period of time. "Even he can't do it.

An Zhichen thinks that it is enough to find a little girl of similar height, but as for the appearance, it is almost almost, anyway, Kexin rarely appears in front of outsiders.

Luo Shao thought for a while and said, "You can tell the emperor directly about this." "If you want to catch Zhou Shu, you may use the forbidden army at that time, and with the emperor's permission, An Zhichen will be more convenient to act, and there will be a lot less taboos.

An Zhichen didn't understand why Luo Shao said this: "I'm my housework, it's not appropriate to tell the emperor, right?" It is also because An Zhichen understands Luo Shao and knows that Luo Shao will not be untargeted, and there must be a reason for Luo Shao to make this suggestion.

Luo Shao shook his head and said, "It's not a family matter, don't you remember that Zhou Shu is a wanted criminal by the imperial court?" On that day, Zhou Shu fled Haikou, killing and wounding nearly 10,000 people, and was the most wanted criminal.

An Zhichen still felt that it was not appropriate, even if he was a wanted criminal, he should not tell the emperor directly, and when he talked about Zhou Shu, he would definitely implicate Yueyao at that time.

Luo Shao said with a smile: "If I am not sure, I will not tell you about this, you can rest assured, the emperor will not embarrass you for this matter." ”

On the same day, Yueyao wrote that there was a drought in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the imperial court was prepared and avoided a disaster, it can be said that this is all the credit of Yueyao, but because this matter is too mysterious, the emperor is not easy to reward clearly, and now Yueyao's life is in danger, and the emperor must have something to say if he knows, as long as the emperor loosens his mouth a little, this matter will be much easier.

An Zhichen didn't know that Yue Yao had written to the emperor, it wasn't that Yue Yao hid it from An Zhichen, it was really that this matter was in great danger at that time, Yue Yao didn't want An Zhichen to worry so she didn't tell him, and when the matter fell, she didn't dare to say it.

In view of his trust in Luo Shao, An Zhichen weighed a lot, and finally decided to believe Luo Shao, made a good draft in his heart, and told the emperor about it.

If Zhou Shu dared to go to the backyard of Shilang's Mansion to kidnap people, he couldn't help but impress the emperor: "How do you know that Zhou Shu may be in the capital?"

An Zhichen replied respectfully: "Last time the minister's uncle was assassinated, the minister guessed that the mastermind behind the scenes should be Zhou Shu. ”

The emperor glanced at An Zhichen: "Did the Lian clan have some nightmare again?" It is estimated that Lian Shi dreamed that Zhou Shu was coming back to the capital, but you must know that he didn't get any news.

An Zhichen's heart jumped, but he still said very sincerely: "Back to the emperor, she had a nightmare two days ago, she dreamed that she was forced to commit suicide. ”

The emperor was stunned, but the emperor also wondered why this Lian always dreamed of bad things, either dreaming that An Zhichen was killed or dreaming that he was forced to commit suicide, and he couldn't live in peace in his dreams, and it was really hard enough.

Yue Yao had a great contribution to the drought in Jiangnan last time, but this matter was too mysterious, and it was not good to reward on the face, so the emperor kept it, and since this time the matter fell in front of him, he couldn't say nothing: "I will let people check, if there is a clue, someone will tell you, in addition, if it is a moment of crisis, you can call on some of your troops." "As for how many troops to mobilize, this degree has to be grasped by An Zhichen himself.

An Zhichen's mind is still good, although he was shocked by this good news, he didn't show much on his face, just knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

The emperor looked at An Zhichen's back, his expression was very relaxed, An Zhichen is ambitious, but he also has weaknesses, this weakness is that he values his wife and children too much, as long as the courtiers have weaknesses, they don't have to worry about not being able to control them.

When he got home, An Zhichen told Yueyao about it.

Yue Yao was surprised and delighted, she didn't expect this matter to be in front of the emperor, and the emperor also promised to let the general political envoy help investigate, what a lot of face this must be!

An Zhichen looked at Yue Yao and said, "Yue Yao, why do I think this thing is a little strange!" The emperor is a person with clear rewards and punishments, and there should be a reason why he is so good at talking this time. ”

Yueyao thought for a while, and told An Zhichen about the drought in Jiangnan that she had told the emperor: "You say, does it have anything to do with this?"

An Zhichen's head was big: "Why don't you discuss such a big matter with me?" In case there is no drought in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be a crime of deception, and Yueyao's head will not be guaranteed at that time.

Yue Yao said with some guilt: "You are fighting in the northwest, I don't want to add any more burden to you, and then the matter is over, and I can't tell you." ”

An Zhichen sighed, fortunately, this matter ended successfully, but it was also this time, he knew why Hou Ye suggested that he tell the emperor about this matter, Hou Ye obviously expected that the emperor would not ignore it.

Before, An Zhichen was full of confidence when he told Yueyao, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, but now that he has the help of the political envoy, An Zhichen is very sure of capturing Zhou Shu.

No wonder An Zhichen is so confident, so to speak, there is nothing in the capital that the political envoy can't find, as long as Zhou Shu shows a little bit of horse's feet, they can find out the news.

Yue Yao said to herself: "This may be what the Buddha said, good deeds are rewarded." She couldn't bear it that day, but in exchange for today's good retribution, it was worth it.

An Zhichen felt that this was indeed a good fate, and said with a smile: "How are the preparations for the art exhibition?" It's only half a month. ”

Yue Yao's worries have been removed a lot, and she said, "Well, I'll be busy later, Heyue, even with the help of the General Political Envoy, Kexin still shouldn't stay by my side during this time." Yueyao didn't want Zhou Shu to ruin Kexin's reputation, she was lucky to meet An Zhichen, but her daughter may not have this good luck.

An Zhichen nodded and said, "Okay." ”

In the evening, Yueyao was in the studio, and An Zhichen heard the housekeeper say that Tingzheng was coming, and said, "Let him come in!" An Zhichen knows Yue Yao very well, Yue Yao is now letting go of Ting Zheng's affairs, but it doesn't mean that Yue Yao really wants to cut off the relationship with Ting Zheng, no matter what, Ting Zheng is also brought up by Yue Yao.

Ting Zheng didn't see Yue Yao when he entered the main courtyard, only saw An Zhichen: "Brother-in-law." "He came here when he heard that Yue Yao had returned to Beijing.

An Zhichen looked at the studio and said, "Your sister is in the studio, she is going to hold an exhibition in September, and she has been very busy recently." ”

Ting Zheng felt a little lost in his heart.

An Zhichen casually asked Ting Zheng a few words about his life in the infantry battalion, and with the previous events, An Zhichen and Ting Zheng had nothing to say, and the questions were very polite.

No matter how slow Tingzheng was to react, he also felt An Zhichen's alienation from him, Tingzheng felt a little sad in his heart, glanced at the direction of the studio, and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll go back first, and I'll come back when my sister is done." ”

An Zhichen didn't keep it, and asked the maid to send Tingzheng back.

Tingzheng's strange appearance was naturally seen by Xiang Wei, and Xiang Wei was a little curious, so he asked people to go to Lianfu to understand the situation.

After the mother-in-law came back, she told Xiang Wei about the situation in the mansion: "The Lin family wanted to meddle in the affairs of the front yard, and the uncle drove all the people who Lin stuffed into the front yard out of the mansion, and the uncle also found the few people who the Lin family drove out, so that they could go back to their previous errands." "The original people were sold, and the positions naturally became vacant, and all the Lin family were replaced by their own people, and now Tingzheng has taken all the Lin people's captivity, and the Lin family's face is really lost.

Xiang Wei was very surprised: "Did he take the wrong medicine?" Didn't you use to be particularly precious that Lin's? Why don't you even care about the Lin family at all now?

The mother-in-law said: "The people in the Lianfu said that the Lin family acted too much and forced away the big housekeeper, and the big housekeeper was angry and told his uncle everything that the Lin family had done, which made the uncle very annoyed. ”

Xiang Wei didn't sympathize with Tingzheng at all, and it was all his own fault to get to this point: "It's okay that he's a little annoyed." "Tingzheng's current style, at least he can protect the family business of the second room, as for the rest, let's take a look!

When Ting Zheng returned home, Lin quarreled with him.

Ting Zheng was already in a bad mood because of the Pingyang Bofu, which made the Lin family quarrel with him, and his mood became more and more bad, and said: "I told you, you can take care of the backyard, and the affairs of the front yard are not something you can interfere in." ”

Ting Zheng received the most orthodox education, that is, the male protagonist and the female protagonist, Lin Qinghan's heavy gift to the Lin family has already committed Tingzheng's taboo, and now he is still bent on getting involved in his industry.

Lin was so angry that his face turned red: "I don't want to take care of the front yard." Lin just felt that the monthly household was too little, and if she was in charge of money, she could use it as she wanted, and she didn't have to tie her hands and feet.

Ting Zheng knew Lin Qinghan's thoughts, and his face turned a little cold: "A thousand taels of household money per month, you are still too little, so how much do you say is enough?"

Ting Zheng is not a person who does not know general affairs, when Yue Yao was worried that Ting Zheng did not know the importance of money like her, so since he was thirteen years old, he has helped take care of the grange, even the family population is not large, and there are only more than sixty people in total, and the daily expenses of one thousand taels of silver a month are more than enough.

Lin Qinghan looked at Tingzheng's appearance, and was a little scared in his heart.

Tingzheng didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he went out with his sleeves, and the entourage next to him asked, "Master, where are we going?"

Ting Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Go to the Li Mansion." "Except for Yueyao, he is closest to the people of the Li Mansion, but fortunately, Lin Qinghan's relationship with the Li family is not bad, of course, this is not bad but compared to Yueyao.

When Ting Zheng arrived at Li's house, Li Guoxun happened to be in the mansion, Li Guoxun saw Ting Zheng, remembered some things that Mrs. Li told him not long ago, and said, "You come to the study with me." ”

When he arrived at the study, Li Guoxun asked Ting Zheng about the things in the infantry camp, and Ting Zheng seriously talked about some things in the mansion.

Li Guoxun nodded, turned his spearhead, and asked, "It's rumored outside that you and Yue Yao have fallen out, what's going on?" Li Guoxun has a lot of opportunities, and he doesn't even have time to take care of the affairs of the family, let alone the affairs of Tingzheng's family, but this time the matter is too big, and it is difficult for Li Guoxun to listen to it.

Ting Zheng hurriedly said: "Uncle, no, there are some conflicts between me and my sister, but it is not as rumored outside. ”

Li Guoxun will not ask Tingzheng and Yueyao what conflicts there are, and he will not interfere in these housework, but just said: "Tingzheng, Yueyao is only eight years old when you are your sister, and other people's children are still spoiled under their parents' knees at the age of eight, but your sister has to protect you and protect the family property in the second room, so she has worked hard for this, but she almost lost her life like this, Tingzheng, if it weren't for your sister, you wouldn't have grown up safely, let alone today." ”

Ting Zheng doesn't remember much about what happened when he was a child, to be precise, it was Yue Yao who never told Ting Zheng about her in Lianfu, so that Yu Tingzheng didn't know much about what happened back then, he only knew that the people of the Lian family were not good to their sisters and brothers, but he didn't know how much Yue Yao had paid for him.

Ting Zheng remembered An Zhichen's words that day and asked, "Uncle, did your uncle not let me join the martial arts back then?" Ting Zheng actually didn't know much about this.

Li Guoxun nodded and said: "Well, that day, Lian Dongfang said that if you dare to join the martial arts, you will be expelled from the clan, and then I don't know what method your sister used to make Lian Dongfang compromise." "What method Yue Yao used, Li Guoxun didn't know.

Ting Zheng muttered, "I don't even know about this. ”

Li Guoxun said: "Back then, in order to prevent you from going to the clan study, your sister begged your uncle to help you find Mr. under the pressure of the Lian family, and then Lian Dongfang forced her to be anxious, she put down her arrogance and went to the girl of the Marquis of Jingning Mansion to be a companion, just to find a backer for your sister and brother, and later in order to let you not be constrained by the Lian family, you were not allowed to follow the martial arts, and begged me to take you to Shandong, you can enter the cavalry camp is also your sister begged the Marquis of Jingning, your sister does not do more than this, but she never talks about these things, Tingzheng, your sister does not say, Just because you don't have these things in your heart doesn't mean you don't have them in mind. Li Guoxun didn't point it out, but the meaning of his words was very clear, he couldn't repay Yueyao's kindness to him in his life, and if he dared to do something sorry for Yueyao, he would be ungrateful.

Tingzheng wooden.

Li Guoxun suddenly asked, "After you got married, how much money did your sister give you?"

Ting Zheng blurted out: "Two hundred thousand taels of silver." ”

After listening to this, Li Guoxun said: "Tingzheng, I told you before, you can't just look at people and things, you can't just look at the surface, you can't just use your eyes to see, you can only use your ears to hear, but you should experience it with your heart, and you will know who is really good to you when you look at it." After Ting Zheng and Yueyao got into trouble, Li Guoxun asked Mrs. Li after hearing about it, and Mrs. Li told Li Guoxun everything she heard about Lin Qinghan's doing, but when it came to Li Guoxun's position, even if he didn't look down on Lin Qinghan, it was impossible to say Lin Qinghan's rights and wrongs in front of Ting Zheng.

Li Guoxin and An Zhichen are both in high positions, and there is the same thing in their view, that is, both of them think that the biggest fault in this matter lies with Tingzheng, the difference is that An Zhichen has no patience with Tingzheng, seeing that Tingzheng blindly protects the Lin family, he will be excluded at the moment, and Li Guoxin has always regarded Tingzheng as a son, and has a deep affection for Tingzheng, so after knowing what Tingzheng did, he will teach patiently.
