The commander replied respectfully: "Yes, I will do it if I am humble, and I will leave my job." "Stand up and throw your hands away, and you are about to leave.

Zhou Sinian shouted to him, "Wait! He smiled and said, "Ah Zhan is very skilled, the geese sent are very delicious, and the fox is also very beautiful, and the princess likes it very much." In two days, let him kowtow to the princess and receive the reward. ”

The commander laughed embarrassedly: "The carving insect skill made Guogong laugh, and Guogong also rewarded him a lot before and after." Then he said to me, "The princess likes wild game, let him hunt some more another day, this Ah Zhan, hunting is a good hand, climbing mountains and burrowing is also a must, the princess is in need, although sent." ”

He said, "Climb the mountain and drill the hole", which made my heart move, and I remembered the figure behind the waterfall, the waterfall, which Ah Zhan took us to seemingly unintentionally. The conductor smiled deeply and turned to leave.

I looked at Zhou Sinian: "Behind the waterfall, there are really people." ”

Zhou Sinian "shh I followed closely, and there was no one outside.

He sighed softly, pulled me out, closed the door, and we walked slowly towards the backyard together. As he walked, he looked back at the front hall again.

I also glanced back, the tall and majestic antechamber stood quietly in the damp and misty winter day of Jiangnan, it was heavily guarded, and there were many dark sentinels, I didn't understand what he was worried about? Puzzled, he asked, "Brother Nian, who are you worried about eavesdropping?" ”

He grabbed my shoulders and said softly: "This matter is too wide-ranging, I'm afraid that the emperor's intention is to replace all the local officials in Jiangnan, this is not an overnight thing, we must take our time and eat them one by one, so we must not show the rumors, and we must not let people know the emperor's true intentions, so as not to change." ”

I nodded: "I understand, I won't say anyone." Zhou Sinian said solemnly: "Including the father-in-law." ”

I couldn't help but widen my eyes, and he looked at me glaring at him, and smiled, "What do you think?" What I mean by this is that the fewer people who know, the better. ”

I was relieved and asked him, "Then do you still give Ah Zhan a certificate?" He smiled and said, "Yes, of course it must be done, not only for him, but also for those of his fellow villagers, who want to do it, find out the true identity, as long as it can be done, it will be done." ”

"You're trying to sift out the good people in the mountains, and you're left with the worst of the worst, right?"

"Yes."

"Behind that waterfall, there are indeed people, right?"

"Probably not now." Zhou Sinian was preoccupied and sighed deeply.

"Why?" I had a bad premonition in my heart, and I quickly filtered through what happened that day, and my heart began to ache again, "Wouldn't it? How could a stepfather do such things? Let's take a look, shall we? I pleaded.

Zhou Sinian stopped and touched my cheek, his eyes were full of pity: "Don't go, the mountains are steep, you don't know martial arts, if something happens, you can't run." ”

What he said was the truth, and I couldn't do anything when I went, but it was a burden to others. Nodding his head, he said, "Don't go up too, the water is cold." ”

He smiled and nodded, his eyes shining like stars. Continue to hold my shoulders and walk forward: "Jiangnan Governor Wu Xiu can invite us to the banquet tomorrow, I didn't want to go, now look, if you don't go, you can't go, you have to go back to the banquet, you can work hard, fortunately, there is Yang Xi outside." I promised.

We walked back to the room, and the clouds were sleeping soundly. Zhou Sinian pinched his little face and said, "Don't always get used to him, let the nurse take him, you are not in good health, don't be too tired." ”

I watched Yun Tuan lying flat in the cradle, and my heart was warmed by his fat face: "I'm not tired, and Ruyi doesn't have Yun Tuan without it." ”

Zhou Sinian shook his head, smiled helplessly, and said, "You still can't fix the old problem." Don't pamper people, everyone has a place where they should stay, you can't find them in the north, and they are the ones who suffer in the end. ”

I retorted, "If you had stayed in your place, you would have lost your life now." Didn't the emperor pamper you all the way? Otherwise, where would you be today? ”

"You're wrong, Shenglan." Zhou Sinian said seriously, "Every step I take, I step on my own position steadily, floating in the clouds, which is the most dangerous." I will only step on the steps if I am sure that the steps under my feet are in place. ”

I looked up at him: "So, no matter how generous the conditions offered by others, you can't be tempted to betray the emperor." ”

"Yes, the road ahead is unknown, so it's better to retreat."

Wu Xiuneng, the governor of Jiangnan, reminds me of four lines of poetry, "He is fair-skinned and bearded." Yingying Gongfu step, Ran Ran Mansion trend. "He was born as a military general, and he is also Li Chaozong's confidant.

On this day, the front hall and the back hall of the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion were held together, and all the princes and nobles, high-ranking officials and ministers in Jiangnan were invited to the banquet. As soon as we arrived at the Governor's Palace, Zhou Sinian was personally stepped forward by Wu Xiu Neng and received the main seat in the front hall.

I was also taken by Mrs. Wu to sit in the back hall. In a flicker of his eyes, he saw the commander's smile as warm as the sun, as if he wanted to warm the heavens and the earth.

In the back hall, the warblers and swallows are very lively, and when they see us coming, they come over to see us. Mrs. Wu introduced them one by one: "This is Mrs. Tobe Shilang...... This is Mrs. Jiangnan...... This is the wife of General Jiangnan...... This is ......"

Then the ladies came to salute, I have to say, Jiangnan women are like clouds, these princess ladies, each of them has their own characteristics, among them, Miss Cousin of the Governor's Palace, Sun Wangshu, the daughter of Sun Boning, the head of the household, is the most outstanding, graceful, beautiful and beautiful, and has a good demeanor.

Miss Sun is Mrs. Wu's maiden niece, Mrs. Wu heard me praise Miss Sun, and said regretfully: "It should have reached the age of choosing a concubine, but the emperor has not chosen a concubine all these years, and let the school-age girl marry on her own. ”

I think this is only a blessing for this Miss Sun. Therefore, he said: "Wu Gongzi has only been in Jiangnan for half a year, and he has become the head of the four sons of Jiangnan, presumably a handsome figure of Wen Tao Wuluo, Miss Sun can marry Wu Gongzi, and can often reunite with relatives, which is a blessing." ”

Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "What the princess said is very true, when the spring begins, the dog will go to Chongwen Academy with his father-in-law to study after marriage, and I will ask the princess and the prince to take care of their little couple." ”

I said, "Madame, you're polite, where is the point of taking care of me?" If they don't dislike it as a young couple, they often go to the disadvantages to sit and talk together to relieve boredom. Mrs. Wu happily agreed, and called Miss Sun to salute again, and asked her to accompany me to talk, and the arrangements were made properly, and then she was busy greeting the other female guests.
