Gu Zhe and Gu Li returned to Hangzhou.

Dong Yu was very happy to hear that Gu Zhe had made up for the county magistrate of Taicang County. The Gu family used to belong to the prestigious clan in Hangzhou, and there were countless children in the clan, but now it is withering, and there are very few children in the clan. Although Gu Zhe is only an eight-rank official now, he is also a member of the ranks, not to mention that this is a fat shortage.

When Gu Zhe heard that Dong Yu was going to hold a banquet, he immediately stopped him: "Mother, I only have ten days off, and now I have been there for three days, and the time is relatively rushed, so I don't have time to feast guests." "He can only stay in Hangzhou for two days at most, and he has to keep in touch with old friends during these two days, and the connections are very important.

Dong Yu had no choice but to give up after hearing this, and then hesitated for a moment and asked, "Zhe'er, your brother is also famous, do you think we should also make up for him?" Dong Yu also watched Gu Li come back from Suzhou, and her mental outlook improved a lot, so she also wanted Gu Li to come out, and she wouldn't be in a mess all day long if she had something to do.

Dong Yu is not an ignorant person, she wants Gu Li to come out, she wants to find a way by herself, she didn't think about bothering Yueyao again, Yueyao just helped her eldest son get a good shortage, how embarrassed she was to ask Yueyao to help her younger son fill the vacancy.

Gu Zhe's face was not good-looking.

Dong Yu knew something was wrong at a glance: "What's wrong?"

Gu Zhe let out a sigh of relief and said, "My aunt is kind enough to help me find the shortage of the county magistrate in Taicang County, but Gu Li said in front of my aunt that the county magistrate is a sesame petty official. Fortunately, my aunt was generous and didn't care about me, otherwise such a good lack would have been lost because of him. Gu Zhe remembered that the procedures in the Yamen were smooth sailing, and the envy on his faces when several of his friends knew that he had sought the absence of Taicang County, he was very glad that his aunt was broad-minded and didn't care about them.

Dong Yu's face turned white in an instant: "What did you say?"

Gu Zhe didn't want to say anything more, it was useless to say this: "Mother, I'll go visit my grandfather." ”

Dong Yu just gave birth to the idea of donating an official to Gu Li, and disappeared without a trace, and the youngest son didn't know how thick the sky was, and he didn't know how much trouble it would cause to donate to him.

Dong Yu came back to her senses, looked at Gu Zhe's expressionless appearance, and knew that Gu Zhe had a grudge in his heart, and it was normal for Gu Zhe to have a grudge when he said it, this lack was originally prepared by Yueyao to Gu Zhe, but Gu Li was too lacking, and Gu Li's words almost ruined Gu Zhe's chance to have a child.

Dong Yu said weakly: "Zhe'er, don't blame your brother, he, he is also ignorant." Dong Yu's latter sentence is very weak-hearted, Gu Li is now thirty-three in his twenties, and such a big person is still acting so absurdly.

Gu Zhe's face remained unchanged, and he said, "Mother, if it's okay, I'll go see my grandfather." ”

Dong Yu opened her mouth, and finally only nodded: "Okay." ”

Mr. Yushan is old, he can't paint or write, even if he can't read for too long, his eyes hurt after watching for a long time, this time he saw Gu Zhe come back, and asked with a smile: "Is everything going well?"

Gu Zhe nodded and said, "Everything is going well. Then he told Mr. Yushan about making up for the county of Taicang County.

Mr. Yushan was not surprised at all, because he asked Gu Zhe to help Yueyao take care of the art exhibition, which originally meant to let Yueyao pull Gu Zhe: "What are you going to do next?"

Gu Zhe looked at Yushan and didn't understand what he meant.

Mr. Yushan spoke in a slow voice: "I have made a lot of friends over the years, and it is not difficult to find a shortage for you, and it is not even difficult to find a shortage for you." But I never showed up, do you know why?" He has a lot of friends, and he has a lot of friends who can use him, and it is really not difficult for him to find a good job for his grandson.

Gu Zhe always felt that his grandfather didn't come forward because he was not good at pulling down his son and begging for help.

Mr. Yushan smiled: "You are my grandson, for the sake of your future, even if I pull down my face and beg for someone, what does it matter, the reason why I didn't come forward is that I hope you can experience more of the warmth and warmth of the people outside." "Mr. Yushan actually has a plan for Gu Zhe's future.

Gu Zhe was very surprised: "Grandpa, you had a plan?"

Mr. Yushan is actually very pleased, after more than half a year of tempering, Gu Zhe has grown a lot: "Well, your aunt and Mrs. Niu are like sisters, as long as your aunt speaks, Mrs. Niu will not refuse, as long as you are an official within the jurisdiction of Niu Prefect, for the sake of your aunt's face, he will really take care of you, there are people in the court who are good officials, and with someone to support you, your career will be smooth." "People who have just entered the officialdom don't understand many things, as long as there are no big mistakes, there is a big backer of the Niu Governor's Mansion, and some small problems can be ignored.

Gu Zhe's face changed greatly.

Mr. Yushan wondered, "What's wrong?" There's definitely something bad about looking at this.

Gu Zhe didn't hide it from Mr. Yushan, and told Mr. Yushan what Gu Li said to Yueyao at that time, at this time, Gu Zhe had a cold sweat on his forehead, and his grandfather worked hard to pave the way for him, but he was almost ruined by Gu Li, the lack of Taicang County is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that rejecting his aunt is equivalent to making him lose the backer of Niu Zhifu, and his future is ruined by Gu Li.

Mr. Yushan was not very angry, but sighed heavily: "I will go back to my hometown in the spring next year, I am gone, and your mother will depend on you in the future." He tried so hard to plan for Gu Zhe, not for Dong Yu's sake, he said that raising a child is a hundred years old, and he is often worried about ninety-nine, and he now has a deep understanding.

When Gu Zhe heard this, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable, Mr. Yushan was going back to his hometown to have his stepson, and their whole family knew about it, but this matter was delayed again and again, and after more than two years, everyone almost forgot about it.

Gu Zhe felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he knew that this matter was the fault of the Gu family, and he had clearly promised to do it that day, but in the end he reversed himself, Gu Zhe choked up and said, "Grandpa ......"

Mr. Yushan was very indifferent, and said with a smile: "There is no banquet in the world, grandpa will retire in the capital in the future, and you will be able to see your grandfather when you go to the capital." ”

Gu Zhe's nose was sour.

The people in the Gu family clan knew that Gu Zhe had made up for the lack of county officials in Taicang County, and they all thought about it, you must know that when you go to the local office, you must bring a few trustworthy people to help you run errands, so that your own children can follow, not to mention making some oil and water, even if you go to see more of the world.

After the separation, Dong Yu and the other three concubines were estranged a lot, but it was a rare day to come to the door together, the purpose was naturally to hope that Gu Zhe would take their son out to seek a future.

Dong Yu refused without thinking about it, she would not bring a few nephews to take anyone to the post, she couldn't be more clear about a few nephews, none of them were reliable, and she didn't have to trouble finding her son if she took them.

The three ladies of the Gu family immediately went back angrily.

Gu Zhe heard Dong Yu's words and said, "Don't worry, mother, I know it in my heart." "This time I went to Taicang County, I must bring my own people, looking for outsiders where there are brothers in their own clan who are reliable, Gu Zhe often deals with people in the clan, and he knows the situation in the clan better, so he finally selected two people, these two people are not only good in character, but also can do it.

Gu Zhe stayed at home for two days before he was about to take office, and the night before leaving, Gu Li found Gu Zhe and said, "Big brother, I'll go to Suzhou with you tomorrow!"

Gu Zhe's heart flashed badly: "What are you doing in Suzhou?"

Gu Li's face was ashamed: "I want to apologize to my aunt, I was wrong last time." What Gu Zhe didn't know was that Gu Li looked at Gu Zhe with such a beautiful scenery, and he regretted it in his heart, plus Miao was blowing the pillow wind, Gu Li felt that he should apologize to Yue Yao first, and then begged Yue Yao to help him find a vacancy, even if it was eight grades, it didn't matter.

Gu Zhe didn't want to think about it and said, "You don't have to go to Suzhou, my aunt won't see you." ”

Gu Li was green and white, white and green: "How do you know that your aunt won't see me?"

Gu Zhe remembered what Mr. Yushan once said, he said that Gu Li was abolished, Gu Li was depressed before, but he still had hope for Gu Li, he felt that Gu Li would cheer up one day, but now Gu Zhe knew that this younger brother was really useless: "You leaked the news that your aunt was going to swim the Qinhuai River at night that day, and your aunt didn't pursue it for the sake of your grandfather's face, with that incident, do you think your aunt will see you again?" Revealing your whereabouts is a big taboo.

Gu Li argued: "I just drank too much that day, I said it in a delirious situation, and I didn't mean to." ”

Gu Zhe's whole body stiffened, Gu Li could know about his aunt's night trip to the Qinhuai River, or did he tell Gu Li, Aunt Sachiko didn't hold him accountable, otherwise...... Thinking of this, Gu Zhe felt uneasy, thinking that he had to tell his grandfather about it.

Gu Zhe was no longer in the mood to argue with Gu Li at this time: "You want to go to Suzhou, I can't stop you." "But he definitely won't go to Suzhou with Gu Li to see Yueyao.

Gu Li listened to Gu Zhe's words and trembled with anger.

Gu Zhe didn't care about him, but went to the upper room to see Mr. Yuliao and told Mr. Yushan about it: "Grandpa, will my aunt even annoy me?" Last time he went to see Yueyao, but he didn't see him, and Gu Zhe was very worried that he wouldn't be able to see him again in Suzhou this time.

Mr. Yushan thought for a moment and said, "I'll write a letter to your aunt, and you can help bring it." "Mr. Yushan didn't think that Yue Yao would be so cautious, but he still had to be cautious in everything.

After Mr. Yushan finished writing the letter, he said to Gu Zhe: "You tell your mother about this matter, so that your mother has a number in her heart." "Mr. Yushan can help Gu Zhe speak, that is because he thinks Gu Zhe is a material that can be made, as for Gu Li, he has never had this idea, Gu Li has been abolished, and he has been raised by his family all his life, Mr. Yushan asked Gu Zhe to tell Dong Yu that he wanted Dong Yu to give up his heart to find Yueyao to help.

Mr. Yushan knows his daughter very well, and he can't find fault with him in any aspect, but Dong Yu has a fatal flaw, that is, she is soft-hearted, and she often makes up her mind, and she is cried and begged, and finally agrees, which is also the reason why I want to say that Dong Yu is too soft.

Gu Zhe nodded in response, and when he got out of the upper room, he went to find Dong Yu and told him about it: "Fortunately, my aunt is generous and doesn't blame me." ”

Dong Yu smiled bitterly: "I know what you mean, don't worry, for the time being, I will detain your brother at home." ”

Gu Zhe nodded with a heavy face.

Dong Yu thought for a while and said: "If you go to Taicang County and no one will take care of you, after two days, I will ask Xuerong to take the child to Taicang County to find you." "Husband and wife can't be together, she still wants to hold a few more grandchildren! Dong Yu is actually a good mother-in-law, and she is very good to her two daughters-in-law.

Gu Zhe hesitated for a moment and then responded.

Early the next morning, Gu Zhe set off, and Gu Zhe planned to go to Suzhou first, and then to Taicang County.

Gu Zhe went to Niufu when he arrived in Suzhou, originally Gu Zhe didn't expect to see Yue Yao, he just sent a letter over, but he didn't expect to meet Yue Yao in the garden after dinner.

Yue Yao read the letter written to her by Mr. Yushan, and then looked at Gu Zhe, who was in the dust, and pondered: "If there is something difficult in the future, as long as Governor Niu and Mrs. Niu are in Jiangnan, you can go to find them." "As long as it is not a traitor who violates the law and discipline, Yueyao believes that Niu Yanghui will not refuse to help.

Gu Zhe went to Taicang County with peace of mind.

In the evening, Niu Yanghui returned to the main courtyard after dealing with the matter, and saw that Mingzhu was not in the bedroom, and heard the maid explain that Zhuzhu was in the study, which was a little strange.

Mingzhu saw Niu Yanghui coming in, and said with a bitter face: "Husband, you go to rest first, I still have an article to finish." "Yueyao explained a short passage of scripture to Mingzhu every day, and then asked Mingzhu to copy it twenty times, of course, it is not enough to copy it, the handwriting must be upright and clean, there can be no flaws, if it does not meet the requirements, it will not be punished, but it must be made up.

Niu Yanghui smiled at the corner of his mouth: "I'm not tired, help you sharpen the ink!" Niu Yanghui thinks it's quite interesting to watch Mingzhu copy scriptures.

About half an hour later, Mingzhu was completed, "I wasn't so tired from studying before, cough, I knew that I wouldn't agree to her that day." ”

Niu Yanghui hurriedly said: "You need perseverance in everything you do, and you can't give up halfway." "The effect of Yueyao letting Mingzhu copy the scriptures is very remarkable, Mingzhu has not blushed with him in the past few days, which is very rare for Niu Yanghui.

Mingzhu sighed, she didn't complete the task Yue Yao would not scold her or punish her, but Yue Yao would say that Brother Sheng and the two brothers didn't complain to her even if the homework assigned by Mr. was heavy, so she had no place to put it, where did she dare to slack off.

Thinking of this, Mingzhu asked, "Brother Sheng has been following Mr. Li for more than half a month, how is it?" Are you alright?"

Niu Yanghui shook his head and said: "It's not just good, compared with Brother Sheng and Brother Xu, the two brothers have become negative teaching materials. "The two children are now learning the Analects with the two brothers, you know, Brother Sheng is two years younger than his son.

Mingzhu was taken aback: "Brother Sheng'er and the brothers are so good at studying?" Because Mingzhu spoils the child too much, Niu Yanghui does not let Mingzhu interfere in the child's learning.

Niu Yanghui said with a smile: "Yes, I can study, according to Brother Sheng'er and the brothers themselves, when they were very young, they listened to their second sister read a thousand characters and a hundred family names, and when they were four years old, they would be enlightened, and then they would write the words they learned ten times a day, and if they couldn't write a word well, they had to write it again, and they were very strict." "It is precisely because Yueyao is so strict, although the two children are young, they can write better than Brother Yao'er and the two brothers.

Mingzhu felt that Yueyao was too strict.

Niu Yanghui looked at Mingzhu speechlessly, Sachiko's child was not handed over to Mingzhu, otherwise the child would really become a gentleman: "Now the child is still young, the gap is still small, if you don't discipline it strictly, in three or five years, Brother Sheng'er and the three brothers will have to leave Brother Yao far behind, and the children will not be able to catch up in the future." "Not in the future, but now, Fei Geer has left his two younger sons behind.

Mingzhu hurriedly changed the topic: "Speaking of which, An Zhichen is in the northwest, I am worried, but looking at Yueyao's expression, it seems that I am not worried?" Husband, why do you say that?" It's not that Yue Yao is cold-blooded and ruthless and doesn't care about her husband's life or death, it's just that Yue Yao is too calm, which makes Mingzhu feel a little weird.

Niu Yanghui actually admires Yueyao very much about this, because the more at this time, the more you have to calm down, otherwise the most affected person is actually the child: "You didn't see Kexin and Brother Sheng, they are very calm, that's because they are influenced by Yueyao, you, if you have half of the second sister's calmness, I won't worry." "If Yueyao is worried and frightened all day long, several children must also be worried, which is not conducive to the growth of children.

Mingzhu laughed when she heard this: "I think it's a little strange when you say that, the children don't seem to be worried about the danger of their cousin's life at all, and they seem to believe that their cousin can win the battle." ”

Niu Yanghui didn't think it was strange: "The second sister is so calm, it's normal for them to be calm. "The child is so confident, it is all given by Yueyao.

Mingzhu asked with some concern: "The battle in the northwest shouldn't be so easy to fight!" The Marquis of Jingning is knighted for military merits, his father and brother are military attachés, and Mingzhu still knows something about the northwest and the barbarians, the barbarian people, brave and good at fighting, it is said that they are born warriors, since such a race dares to provoke, it is not a whim, it must be prepared, Mingzhu feels that this must be a hard battle.

Niu Yanghui pondered for a moment and said: "The barbarians were almost wiped out at the hands of Emperor Yingzong, but after decades of recuperation, the barbarians must have recovered, but you don't have to worry, no matter how powerful the barbarians are, they can't beat us." "The treasury of the Great Yuan Dynasty is full, the soldiers are strong, and the barbarians dare to provoke, which is self-defeating.

Mingzhu muttered: "It's the common people who suffer!"

Niu Yanghui was surprised, he didn't expect Mingzhu to have such an awareness, he thought that Mingzhu cared about his family's one-third of an acre.

In addition to Niu Yanghui and Mingzhu caring about the war in the northwest, the people in the capital are also paying attention to the war in the northwest all the time, and Jingning Hou Luo Shao is naturally also paying close attention.

After Luo Shao read the war report in the northwest again, he was very depressed, thinking about the barbarians who invaded the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Yingzong personally conquered, and beat the barbarians to the point that he had no power to fight back, at that time Emperor Yingzong wanted to destroy the barbarians, but none of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty agreed, and a minister actually risked his life to recommend, bluntly saying that Emperor Yingzong's behavior was done by a tyrant, and as a result, Emperor Yingzong could only give up the plan in the end, and instead levy the barbarians' annual tribute.

The staff members around him said worriedly: "The barbarians are surging, and our army has been defeated one after another, Master Hou, this is not good!"

Luo Shao only has four words: "Wait and see." "The emperor is old and sick, and his suspicion is getting heavier. If the emperor didn't name him, he couldn't rashly meddle in the affairs of the northwest.

The staff said: "Hou Ye, General An was brought up by you, Hou Ye, do you see if it is ......" An Zhichen was supported by Hou Luoshao of Jingning, but who could have imagined that after An Zhichen gained a firm foothold in the northwest, he no longer listened to Hou Ye's orders.

Luo Shao interrupted the staff's words with a very ugly face: "You go down first!"

The emperor uses him, but he guards against him, this degree is difficult to grasp, for Luo Shao, it is not difficult to win this battle, after all, the current barbarians are incomparable with dozens of years ago, but the difficulty of this battle is difficult for him to intervene, the emperor is old and sick, the prince has not established, if he wins this battle, his merits are above the princes, and none of the people with high merits will end well.

The barbarians had long been aware of his desire to oppose him, but the emperor and many ministers in the court did not believe his words, and said that he was alarmist.

The barbarians are opposed, it is definitely impossible for him to go out in person, so he is looking for someone who has the talent of a general, and he is lucky, An Zhichen barely meets the requirements, plus Mrs. An is the emperor's most trusted minister, and the emperor is also favored by An Zhichen, otherwise An Zhichen's official would not have risen so quickly.

He spent several years sharpening An Zhichen, and when the time came, he sent An Zhichen to the northwest, An Zhichen has done a lot of things in private in recent years, gathered a lot of people, and gradually got out of his control, everyone thought they had turned their faces, they didn't know that this was all instructed by him, if he didn't help him secretly, An Zhichen would have caged the power so quickly in the northwest, and he deliberately let An Zhichen turn his face with him, nothing more than to better win the trust of the emperor.

There was some disappointment in the eyes of the staff, but he continued as he was told.

Luo Shao looked at the door that opened and closed again, a complicated color flashed in his eyes, there were three staff members around him, all of whom were left to him by his father, but not long ago he learned that one of these three people turned out to be the emperor's eyes and ears, thinking of this, Luo Shao smiled bitterly, no matter how loyal he was, the emperor would not be at ease if he did not put him under his nose.

Just as Luo Shao was thinking about something, his henchman came in: "Master Hou, Jiangnan sent a secret letter." After speaking, he handed a blank piece of paper to Luo Shao.

After Luo Shao waved his hand to let people out, he used a special method, and the white paper revealed the handwriting, Luo Shao read it, his face changed, and he returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

Luo Shao looked at the pile of ashes on the table, his face was a little complicated, if someone wanted to assassinate An Zhichen, he believed that after all, now the general of Shoulin in the northwest is old, and now he has suffered several defeats in succession, General Lin's position will definitely not be guaranteed, and the most promising position is naturally An Zhichen, An Zhichen is in danger, in Luo Shao's expectations, but there will be a drought in the south of the Yangtze River, this matter is big.

If other people said that they dreamed of a drought in the south of the Yangtze River, he would definitely not care, but this person was Lian Yueyao. He has known Lian Yueyao for more than ten years, speaking of which this person is really a bit evil, as long as it is a dream, ten out of ten will come true, now the northwest is at war, and the coastal area will definitely not be peaceful, the first thing to ensure in the two conquests is the supply of grain and grass, Jiangnan is a major land for grain requisition, if there is a drought in Jiangnan, it will definitely affect the war situation.

Luo Shao felt that Yueyao had a problem for him, if this matter was true, if he wanted to minimize the loss, he could only tell the emperor, but he could tell the emperor whether the emperor would believe it was one aspect, and the other was bound to drag Yueyao into the whirlpool.

Luo Shao knows very well that Yueyao has never wanted to be involved in political affairs, in order to avoid disputes from outsiders, since An Zhichen left Beijing, she has lived in a simple place, but once this matter reaches the heavens, Yueyao will no longer have a quiet life.

Luo Shao thought for a long time, and finally replied to a letter, first listen to Yueyao's meaning, and then make a decision.

In the war in the northwest, Ben didn't have much contact with the Lian family, but unfortunately, at this time, Tingyi proposed to Lian Dongfang to go to the northwest.

Lian Dongfang was unwilling, if Tingyi wanted to go to the northwest before, he wouldn't stop him, but now that the northwest is at war, how can he let Tingyi take risks! Four sons, four jinshi, but what he values most is actually Tingyi, Tingyi's talent, mentality, and calculation are not bad.

Tingyi insisted on his decision, and Lian Dongfang said: "I will never let you go to the northwest." ”

Tingyi's eyes were unusually firm: "Father, you have always hoped to revive the lintel of the Lian family and restore the glory of the Lian family, father, now that the northwest is at war, it is an opportunity for me." ”

Tingyi insisted on going to the northwest, there is also a reason, one is that he has an impulse deep in his heart, when the country is in trouble, as a member of the country, he should stand up to serve the country, he went to the northwest, he can't go to the battlefield, but he can do his part, the second is that he wants to get rid of the shadow of nepotism, he didn't think so much before, his father asked him to marry the daughter of the Zhou family, and his parents ordered him to match the words of the concubine, he had no objection, but after marrying Zhou Yue, he knew how much pressure he needed to bear, Everyone can't see his efforts, and they forget that he also relied on ten years of hard study to get admitted to Tanhualang, every time he is promoted, there are always people behind his back who say that he relied on his wife to get on the throne, and if he goes to the northwest, he can completely get rid of this shadow.

The connecting party was unmoved.

Tingyi failed to convince Lian Dongfang, but the fact that he wanted to go to the northwest quickly spread in Lian's family, and when Zhou Yue knew the news, he was stunned.

Waiting for Tingyi to return to the courtyard, Zhou Yue asked tentatively, "Husband, the people in the mansion said that you are going to the northwest?" That's not true, is it?"

Tingyi sighed: "Dad won't let me." ”

Zhou Yue opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything, if Tingyi wanted to go to the northwest during the Taiping period, she would definitely not object, but now it is different from the past, the northwest is at war, and people will die at any time, and she doesn't want to be a widow yet.

Ting Yi looked at Zhou Yue's expression, and knew that Zhou Yue definitely didn't want him to go to the northwest, with the blocking of his father and the Zhou family, he couldn't go if he wanted to, Tingyi was depressed and panicked, they even looked very good now, but these are all based on a few good enough in-laws, speaking of which his father's vision is really good, his wife family will not say it, it is a descendant that everyone knows, and the sister-in-law's father is now the head of the six history books, but for Ting Yi, I don't know if it is fortunate or unfortunate.

When Tingyi went out, he happened to bump into Tingyuan who came back from outside, and Tingyi asked casually: "What are you doing?" Coming back so late?"

Ting Yuan was very afraid of Ting Yi, because Ting Yi was very serious, and Ting Yi was famous for being good at talking in Lianfu before, Ting Yuan didn't hide it, and said, "I'm going to visit the fourth sister." Tingyuan has always wanted Yuehuan to move back to Lian's house, but Yuehuan is reluctant to go back to Lian's house, even if her father made a promise, the fourth sister is not willing to come back, and would rather stay in the dim sum shop.

Tingyi's face pale, Tingyi has been training in officialdom for so many years, can you not know why Yuehuan didn't go back to Lian's house? And what is the use of his father's promise, if the moon ring still has use value, his father will definitely not be soft: "The fourth sister is also a lot older, so she hasn't thought about remarrying?"

Ting Yuan said in a low voice: "The fourth sister said that she will guard Chenghong and will not remarry." "It's not that Tingyuan didn't think about letting Yuehuan remarry, but Yuehuan's attitude was very resolute, she wouldn't remarry.

Speaking of Yuehuan, it naturally reminded Tingyi of Yueyao: "Did the fourth sister contact the third sister?" How is the third sister in Jiangnan now?" Yue Yao is a matter of the mountain and field monks, not only made the capital startled, even Tingyi felt incredible, you know, the mountain and wild monks were famous all over the world more than ten years ago, when Yue Yao was only ten years old, Tingyi even suspected that the news was fake, but unfortunately the facts proved that the news was true.

If Yue Yao is a mountain monk frightened him, then Yue Yao was praised by the literati and ink writers in the south of the Yangtze River as a painting immortal enough to shock him, as soon as the news was transmitted back to the capital, the capital was boiling at the moment, many people wanted to watch Yue Yao's paintings, and at this time everyone found that Yue Yao circulated to the world There are very few paintings, Yue Yao has made a lot of paintings over the years, but they are all helping the old people paint portraits or paint Buddha statues, think about it, who will sell their old people's paintings and enshrined Buddha statues, of course, What's more important is that the people who can ask Yueyao to paint are all powerful and powerful, even if the person who wants to buy the painting pays a lot, no matter how high the money is, people will not sell it, which leads to many people coming to his father to ask for paintings, but in their house, except for the plum blossom seal that Yueyao gave him, their whole family doesn't have a painting of Yueyao.

Thinking of this, a touch of bitterness appeared on Tingyi's face, Yue Yao is from the Lian family, originally Yue Yao was praised as painting fairy feet to make the reputation of the Lian family go to a higher level, but unfortunately Yue Yao had already fallen out with them, if it weren't for Yue Yao's scruples, I am afraid that she would not even be able to maintain this kind of affection now.

Tingyi is no longer a teenager, and now he knows very well that the foolish things that his mother did, even if his father did not participate, he had his father's tacit consent, otherwise, with his father's ability, it is not difficult to ensure that Yueyao and Tingzheng are intact, Tingyi really doesn't understand why his father and mother did this? Why can they do such a thing for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, my father often said that he wanted to glorify the lintel of the Lian family and restore the glory of the Lian family, but what he did was contrary to what he said.

Ting Yuan didn't know that Ting Yi would think so many things in an instant, he just shook his head and said: "I asked the fourth sister, and the fourth sister said that she did not communicate with the third sister, and she also listened to people outside about the third sister. Ting Yuan also admired this cousin for being able to make such a big name.

Tingyi was a little disappointed.

Ting Yuan thought for a while and said, "Second brother, now that there is a war in the northwest, the third sister will definitely be back soon." Second brother, do you think that the third sister will also hold an art exhibition in the capital after she comes back?"

Tingyi shook his head and said: "There is a war in the northwest, and the third sister will not open an exhibition when she comes back." In addition, there is another sentence that Tingyi did not say, An Zhichen is in the northwest, if Yueyao opens an exhibition at this juncture, I don't know how many people will criticize it!

Ting Yuan was a little disappointed: "I still want to wait for the third sister to come back and have a chance to see her paintings!" Yue Yao is not close to their family, Ting Yuan has known for a long time, so it is definitely impossible to go to Anfu to see the paintings, and only by holding an art exhibition can they have the opportunity to see the paintings of the third sister.

Tingyi said with a smile: "Now that the northwest is at war, it is not suitable to hold an art exhibition, but when the war is over, the third sister will definitely hold an art exhibition in the capital, and when the time comes, we will be able to see those paintings." Tingyi heard from a friend that Yueyao originally planned to return to Beijing to hold an art exhibition, and since she had this preparation, she would definitely hold it, but it was postponed later.

Tingyuan was a little pity: "I heard that the third sister auctioned several paintings in Jiangnan, and we can't see these paintings." ”

Tingyi didn't think so: "If you want to open an art exhibition, there must be a lot of paintings, so you don't need to regret it." "Tingyi's meaning, even if a lot of paintings were sold before, Yueyao would definitely add them.

Ting Yuan nodded, and then sighed: "I heard that the Li family, the Ma family, and the Hou Mansion all have a lot of paintings of the third sister, but it's a pity that we ......" Speaking of this, Ting Yuan saw that Ting Yi's face was a little ugly, and quickly stopped his words.

Ting Yuan is a concubine and the fourth child, and he usually receives little attention, plus Aunt Su is too protective, so Ting Yuan is not only soft, but also a little simple.

And Yue Yao, who was discussed by the two brothers, finally completed the task assigned by Liu Lao.

Xiang Wei looked at the painting and said with a smile: "The painting is very good, but are you sure that after this painting is sent, you can get it back?" To Wei, this painting is 100% uncollectible.

Yue Yao smiled and said, "I have to bring this painting back to the capital, and I have to show it at the next exhibition." "Anyway, Yueyao is not worried about whether the painting will come back, even if she doesn't come back, let the master ask for it.

Yue Yao did not enter the studio for the first time that afternoon, which made Mingzhu feel very rare, and when she asked, she realized that Yue Yao's painting was completed.

Niu Yanghui came back in the evening, and as soon as he got the news, he immediately pulled Mingzhu over to see Yueyao's paintings.

Yue Yao's painting has just been painted, and it has to be put away for a few days, otherwise Yue Yao will definitely send it out, Yue Yao looked at Niu Yanghui and said, "Your news is really well-informed." ”

After Niu Yanghui finished viewing Yueyao's painting, he opened his mouth and asked Yueyao for it.

Yue Yao smiled and said, "This is the question that Liu Lao gave me, I have to send it to Liu Lao for comments." ”

Xiang Wei added: "This painting is going to be exhibited when the exhibition is held in the capital in the future, and it can't be given away." ”

Niu Yanghui has not been able to open his mouth to ask for it again.

Two days later, Yue Yao sent the painting to Liu Lao, and Yue Yao rested for two days and began to paint again, this painting is to fulfill the promise to Xiangru.

It's a pity that Yueyao tore up two paintings in succession, because she always felt that what she painted lacked that feeling, and as for what it felt, she couldn't say.

Xiang Wei suggested to Yueyao: "I think you may have been too long. Otherwise, ask this Xiangru to come and dance a song for you, maybe you can find the feeling. ”

Yueyao hesitated: "Let me think again." ”

When Yueyao hesitated whether to invite Xiangru over, she heard the news of Niu Yanghui's promotion.
