Duanmu Xuan and Li Sanlang accompanied Jizhou's new Rashi Mufan into the Beiping County Ya, "Xiaguan Beiping County Ling Situ Jin has seen Lord Rashi!" ”

"Lord Situ is exempt from courtesy, you are Ziheng's future eldest brother, this ceremony is inevitable outside, but it doesn't work in private, otherwise it will be angry!" Mu Fan's face was upright, and Situ Jin had a very good impression of this person in his heart.

"Thank you, my lord, the official word Zhongxian, if the adult does not abandon this, how about the word in private?"

"How should it be! In the following table the word Chongwen! Mu Fan also has some understanding of Situ Jin's personality, and heard something from Duanmu Xuan before coming to the county government, and he admired him very much for abandoning literature and martial arts with a sinful body, but resolutely abandoning Rong Congwen when his official fortune was prosperous. When you talk to such a person, you don't care about their origin.

"Thank you, Brother Chongwen!" Situ bowed again, and then sat down.

"Zhongxian, why isn't Yan'er in the mansion?" On weekdays, when she came at this hour, Situ Yan would wait in the study, but today Duanmu Xuan and they had all come to have nearly a pillar of incense, but they didn't see Situ Yan.

"Yes, you came early in the morning to deliver a letter, saying that Lord Rashi is going to come to the county government for dinner in the evening, and Yan'er is afraid that she is busy in the stove room at this time!" With Mu Fan in Situ Jin, it's not good to joke too much with Duanmu Xuan.

"Then I'll go to the stove room and have a look!" Where can Duanmu Xuan still sit, and he is about to go out to the stove room together.

"As long as you're in a hurry, can't I still burn myself as firewood!" Before Duanmu Xuan could go out, he saw Situ Yan walking in in a sky-blue dress, and her long hair half scattered around her waist danced lightly with her steps. Although there are only a few hairpins on the head, they are small and delicate, and the snow-white skin adds a touch of charm.

"The county lord of Heyang greets Lord Rashi!" When Situ Yan entered the door, she spoke to Duanmu Xuan first. But after standing still, she made a big salute to Mu Fan, the history of Jizhou, her official rank was lower than Mu Fan, so this salute was naturally necessary.

"Future brothers and sisters, please get up quickly, I can't afford your gift!"

"Lord Rashi is so free and easy, but there are no taboos!" Mu Fan wanted to make fun of Situ Yan, but he didn't want to be countered by her.

With a wry smile, he looked at Duanmu Xuan, "Ziheng, your fiancée is really witty and not inferior to a man." I can't be provoked by the wind! ”

"Lord Rashi laughed, the little woman is just a mortal, and she can't go to heaven or earth. You can't fight the enemy outside, you can't be at peace inside, and you dare to compare with adults! Situ Yan said this sincerely, but Mu Fan heard a slight difference from the words. glanced at Situ Yan even more. I thought to myself. "No wonder Ziheng was fascinated by this little woman, just today's three words and a certain degree of advance and retreat are indeed outstanding!"

"Okay, Yan'er, you don't have to be polite with Chongwen, just be as respectful as a senior brother!"

"I don't have a good impression of your senior brothers!" The mention of the word "senior brother" reminded Situ Yan of Cheng Feng, and she couldn't help glaring at Duanmu Xuan.

Li Sanlang looked at a few people and felt that he was a little out of place, he was from the lowest background, although he was currently in the sixth rank like Situ Jin, but he was not as close as a few people. I can't interject. He frowned slightly, and Situ Yan looked over as if he sensed it.

"Third brother. Hungry! I'm going to call someone to pass the meal! Although Situ Yan spoke to Li Sanlang, she gave Mu Fan another salute before going out.

"Hahaha, Ziheng, I have never seen who you lost, but now it is one thing and one thing, you should finally be taken care of by someone!"

"Chongwen, I'm not afraid of your jokes, as long as Yan'er is willing to take care of it, I will be happy even if I am managed by her every day!" Duanmu Xuan: This is to sit in the name of "strict wife management".

"You! But Zhongxian's sister is really interesting, and her temperament is similar to me and Ziheng, so why don't I recognize her as a godsister? Mu Fan really has a good impression of Situ Yan.

"Forget it! There are five brothers in Yan'er, and if there is one more of you, wouldn't my uncle recognize more and more! "Duanmu Xuan doesn't want anyone to ride on his head anymore.

"You, watch your eyes!" A few men sat in the study and chatted, and they got a lot closer for a while.

During the banquet, Gongsun Yu also came out of the inner courtyard to accompany him, "I Mu Fan can sit with the famous talented girl and female Zhuge in Beijing today, it is really a blessing for three lives!" In the past, when Zhongxian got married, you and I didn't know each other and couldn't congratulate each other. And Ziheng gave me a wedding and I was not in Beijing, and I couldn't come to the door to say goodbye, so today I will take advantage of Miss Situ's table to toast you! Mu Fan raised his wine glass, and when he drank it, he could see that he was a free and easy person.

"Thank you, Brother Chongwen!" Situ Jin and Gongsun Yu first raised their wine glasses and thanked each other, and they also drank them all. Duanmu Xuan and Situ Yan glanced at each other, and also picked up the wine glass, without pretentiousness, without twisting, every action was so natural, but it revealed the temperament of a man.

"Women don't let the eyebrows, the two younger siblings are heroes among women!"

"Senior Brother Chongwen has a reputation!" Gongsun returned the courtesy. Situ Yan had a useful expression on her face, just a little nod, even if she brought it over. She didn't like these false courtesies, and she could see that this person had a hearty temperament, and his relationship with Duanmu Xuan was extraordinary, so she didn't need to always treat him with courtesy.

"Third brother, try this chicken soup I added some herbs to remove the fire, the General's Mansion has been very busy recently, you have raw beans on your face and drink more!" Situ Yan talked to Li Sanlang while serving soup to him, and she didn't want him to sit in the banquet awkwardly.

Although Duanmu Xuan understood it in his heart, he couldn't hide his jealousy. Situ Yan put the soup bowl in front of Li Sanlang, then picked up another empty bowl and filled a bowl to the jealous man whose eyes were about to breathe fire, "I know you are hard, but this soup is cold, don't drink too much!" After taking the soup bowl handed by Situ Yan, Duanmu Xuan's dark face had a smile.

Situ Jin and Gongsun Yu were not surprised, but Mu Fan couldn't help laughing, "Dare to ask Miss Situ, it's not easy for you to be a Bole, and the fierce horse is untamable!" ”

"I'm a naturally lazy person, and I like to let the horses eat grass the most, but one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer!"

"Hahaha! Everyone likes to hear compliments, but few people laugh at themselves like Miss Situ! ”

"The villain is good at flattery, and the gentleman treats him with sincerity. I don't know what kind of person Senior Brother Chongwen is? ”

"Hahaha, yes, I don't like that pompous either. Miss Situ is full of good words, and Chongwen is taught! ”

"Don't dare, I'm not a good person, I only care about my relatives and friends. I've always been used to speaking straightforwardly, and I hope Senior Brother Chongwen doesn't mind if you offend, the so-called don't fight and don't know each other, you and Brother Xuan are close friends. I am also a friend of my Situ Yan! ”

"Well, today I can not only eat the delicious food cooked by Miss Situ herself, but also make friends. What a blessing! Situ Yan said it, but she didn't expect Mu Fan to be her friend, which surprised her. glanced at Duanmu Xuan, and saw that he nodded to himself, and knew that this person's nature was like this. Very much with her temperament.

A few people chatted. Li Sanlang and Gongsun Yu also interjected a half-word from time to time, and the people at the table were happy with the guests. After the meal, Gongsun saluted and returned to the backyard, but Situ Yan stayed. Since Mu Fan is already Situ Yan's friend, there are some things that he will no longer hide.

"What? Zhongxian, you said that those decrees were Ling Mei's idea, can you take this seriously? Mu Fan only learned today that those decrees that benefited the country and the people actually came from the mouth of a woman who had not yet reached the first rank.

"Take it seriously!" Situ Jin was reluctant to tell outsiders about this, but neither Situ Yan nor Duanmu Xuan wanted to hide anything from Mu Fan, and he also had a good impression of this person. That's when I picked up something I could say and told him.

But even so, it was enough to surprise Mu Fan. "Ziheng. Could it be that you set fire to the realm and make the Turks retreat to the north of Yishui River, which was also Miss Situ's idea? ”

For these, Duanmu Xuan didn't want Mu Fan to know, but he didn't want to bully his friends, so he just smiled lightly, but didn't explain much.

Who is Mu Fan, there is no need for Duanmu Xuan to say more, and he knows that even if this matter is not Situ Yan's idea, he is afraid that she will be involved, but Duanmu Xuan does not want him to ask.

"Chongwen, Yan'er is different from those boudoir women, she only wishes that Qingping I's relatives are well, but she is tired by me, and now she is in the middle of the court, and she is afraid that she will be trapped within the high walls of the Guogong Mansion in the future, every time I think about this, I am ashamed in my heart!" At this time, Situ Yan went to prepare tea and snacks, and the person was not in the study, and several men naturally led the words to her.

"Ziheng, although I don't have a deep relationship with Miss Situ, I also know that she is still a temperamental, if it is not what she wants, how can she be willing to stay here, even if she marries into the Guogong Mansion in the future, she will be willing!"

"I hope so!" Duanmu Xuanben wanted to say a few more words, but he heard footsteps outside the door, and knew that it was Situ Yan who approached and hurriedly closed the sound.

"Miss Situ, your dim sum is no worse than the 'little heart' dim sum shop in the capital!"

"Chongwen, that shop is Yan'er's, you can eat these in this city, but it's not shallow!"

"Ahh I really don't know! "Men are all the same, greedy for appetite, Mu Fan is no exception.

"Senior Brother Chongwen, I feel uncomfortable when you call Miss Situ, since we are friends, you can call me Xiao Wu like the third brother!" Situ Yan's words are exactly what Mu Fan wants.

"Good! Little fifth sister, although I can't be your eldest brother, I may have a confidant, which is my blessing! Mu Fan was happy from the bottom of his heart. Situ Yan also smiled indifferently.

A few people carefully discussed how to use the 100,000 taels of silver, and chatted until the time was over, and the sky was gradually white, and then they went to rest. Duanmu Xuan and Li Sanlang didn't even go back to the general's mansion, and lived directly in the county office.

Early the next morning, Mu Fan, who had the idea, immediately left Beiping County. "Your Excellency, you look very different today than you did when you came, but what hints did you get from the General?"

Mu Fan, who had a sad face when he came, was full of spring breeze at this time, thinking about the snacks made by Situ Yan in the baggage, and recalled Situ Yan's various thoughts about spring ploughing, summer planting and autumn harvest last night, and even the safety inside and outside the city, and the turmoil of the court situation. If you can get a confidant like this, what more can you ask for.

"The idea is there, but it's not exactly what Ziheng wants, let's hurry up, reply to the letter one day earlier, and get things done one day earlier!" Mu Feng tightened the two whips of the horse and rushed forward.

After sending Mu Fan away, Situ Jin now has a bottom in his heart, and he is busy in the county government every day. Every 10 days, Situ Yan would inspect the villages and military tuns to learn about the growth of crops in the fields. visited the shops in various markets, and also caught some troublesome gangsters and beat up some local tyrants who bullied and dominated the market. Of course, there are no fewer rich families in the city who donate money and food.

These things are waiting for the war, and it will be difficult for them to donate, so if you don't find some names to loot now, I'm afraid that you will have to go into the provinces to grab them. That would be detrimental to Situ Jin's official reputation. This kind of thing is never done unless it is absolutely necessary, Situ Yan will never do it.

"Chiyu, how many days have you been walking in the dark?" Situ Yan has been so busy these days that she can't even remember the days clearly.

"Miss, I've been walking in the dark for nearly a month, and I think I should have arrived in Heyang County by this time, and I can bring people back in another month!"

"Well, with Brother Xuan's token, it is much more convenient and safe to go to the post station to change horses and hurry!" Situ Yan originally planned to use Situ Jin's name, but she didn't want Duanmu Xuan to know about it, so she gave her token to Situ Yan without saying a word.

"Miss, the war in the border city is about to start, and you don't want to let the iron-blooded guard enter the mansion to protect you, the young master naturally wants to go early and return early in the night, so that you can rest assured as soon as possible!"

"My little Chiyu is doing his best to help your young master speak, I'm a little jealous!" Situ Yan joked about Chiyu again, Chiyu has been following Situ Yan for a long time, and she has long been used to just smiling lightly but not answering Situ Yan's words.

"Xiao Chiyu, you've learned badly!" Situ Yan glanced at Chiyu and continued to do what she was doing.

"Miss, the business of several shops in the city is booming now, and it is a shame that you let out the wind and let those managers in the market know that this shop belongs to the eldest young master, otherwise I am afraid that those who make trouble and find fault will have come to the door long ago!"

"Scholars are not as good as people, they don't have the mind to do business, but they try to make some bad ideas!" Situ Yan does not bully the market, nor does she maliciously compete in price wars, she focuses on style, quality and service, and naturally her business is better than others.

"Miss, the 100,000 taels of silver given by the emperor have already been less than seven after arriving in Jizhou, can these shops really make up for the 100,000 taels by the end of the year?"

"It's not enough to just point to these shops, we don't have to sell smuggled salt and do something that violates the government decree, but don't tell my brother and Brother Xuan about these things, lest they worry!"

"Miss, leave these things to your subordinates! Don't do it yourself, either! Lest it be looked at by someone who cares, it's always not worth it! ”

"Okay, I have a piece of Chen here, you read it first, just do it according to this, be more careful yourself, go out and look easy, even if it happens, don't leave a handle on people!" These things are difficult for Chiyu, Situ Yan is only one person now, and he does not have the skill of three-headed and six-armed clones, if he wants to implement everything he wants before the end of the year, he always has to ask his subordinates to help him.
