Xia Xun's return trip was very different from when he came, the honor guard died down, and he didn't know the local government's mansion without any fanfare, and sometimes he had to take a detour, for a very simple reason, in order to let the two baby daughters have a good time.

The two hearts and minds who have never left the island, look at everywhere and feel fresh, what scenery there is along the way, naturally to see. Besides, Xia Xun was originally a relatively loose person, and he was too troublesome to usher in the public score of the country that was sent to him.

However, no matter how slow you go, there is always a time to reach the capital, and you can no longer hide your whereabouts near the capital, and there are still one hundred and eighty miles away from the capital, Xia Xun stopped, and let people set up the honor guard again, and at the same time make people go back to Beijing to report the news first. I heard that Xia Xun is back, and the officials who can draw their backgrounds will naturally welcome each other.

Xia Xun took this opportunity to bring everyone to the house that Wang Yuma had lent. Everyone knows that this house was borrowed from Wang Yuma, so they are not afraid that someone will spread rumors and accuse him of his black state.

The house of Wang Yuma's house is actually quite elegant, but after Xia Xun borrowed it, he only used the room, and he didn't go to other places. No matter how good and big the house is, there is only one person who is deserted, what is there to visit, but this experience is different, a large family of relatives has come back and settled down separately, Xia Xun has the opportunity to get a glimpse of the whole picture of this elegant courtyard.

This house is not the main house of Wang Juma, so there is no more serious and formal front yard, but a complete Jiangnan garden scenery, as soon as you enter the courtyard, it is a small pavilion pond water, rockery vine rose, all kinds of landscape layout is scattered, and the house buildings are also unique.

The whole house is still divided into two parts, each part according to the function of different buildings, using bamboo, curved corridors, and pond water, to pounce them into smaller spaces, which is not only private, but also because the next door is very natural, and there will be no feeling of clear barriers between courtyards.

The whole family is obviously very satisfied with this new house, and Xia Xun can't give any advice on the specific housing arrangement, because it is the first time he has gone back to the entire house, and these have to wait until he settles down. Hurriedly put down the luggage, wash up and change clothes, and have to entertain the guests.

This big family has just moved in, there are not so many cooks at home, and the wine and food are all temporarily called from the restaurant, and there are a few seats in the front yard and the back yard.

Most of these officials came with their female dependents, and today they are greeted by the Duke of Fuguo and his family, and the officials and their families are coming with their relatives to appear closer to each other. However, it is not accurate to say that they are officials, because when Xia Xun entered the city, the court meeting was in the middle of the process, and the officials couldn't get out, and most of the people who came to greet them were not incumbent officials, but princes and relatives.

For example, Wang Ning brought Princess Huaiqing, Mei Yin brought Princess Ningguo, and Li Jinglong brought his wife Wang. Li Jinglong's favorite is undoubtedly his concubine, this guy probably has always had a little plot for Xie Yufei who wants but can't get it, but when he saw thank you, he had a serious face, but he couldn't see his lustful face in the past.

However, on this occasion, he definitely can't bring a concubine, which is a great disrespect to Xia Xun's family, so either he doesn't bring his family, and he must bring his wife to come forward. Dingguo Gong Xu Jingchang also came, not only brought his wife with him, but also his little aunt Xu Ming'er.

Xu Ming'er also brought gifts, but unlike the families of other officials, they gave women's ornaments, silk, rouge and gouache and other things, she herself is still a big girl who has not been out of the cabinet, even she rarely can use these things on occasions, these things are most suitable for Xu Jingchang's wife, she brings toys, toys for children.

Indeed, as she said, small animals and children like to be close to her, and when she has not yet taken out these gifts that children like the most, Si Xun and Si Yang obviously showed a different attitude towards her than towards others. Those ladies were all dressed in jewels, and when they saw Xia Xun's two baby daughters, they were also full of smiles, and they couldn't help but praise a few words, pinch their faces, and the two little girls were a little resistant to this kind of appreciation and closeness, but as soon as they saw Xu Ming'er, they naturally liked to be close, and as soon as Xu Ming'er's gift was taken out, they became even more affectionate.

"Sister, sister, Sister Ming'er......."

"Aunt Ming..."

Si Yang called her sister, but Si Xun called her aunt, and the two little girls became Xu Ming'er's followers and kept pestering her.

After seeing Ming'er's amazing affinity, Xia Xun made a conclusion: "Tsk, it's really not blowing, this has to be put on hold, Ming'er must be a very competent nursery aunt or pet hospital nurse!" After the feast was closed until the evening, and after sending the adults and their ladies out of the house, the hustle and bustle in the house suddenly became quiet. Thank you, Zixi and Su Ying took the whole family to re-appreciate the entire courtyard and assign everyone's accommodation, but Xia Xun did not go back to the back house, but went directly to the study.

The study room is quietly and elegantly arranged, antique, with a bookshelf on the wall and a celebrity calligraphy and painting on the other. At the end is a table of eight immortals with curly ears, on the table, in addition to the four treasures of the study, the jade ruler, the porcelain tube of rice paper, there is also an incense stove, the faint fragrance of books and ink and the faint fragrance of sandalwood, intertwined into a charming taste.

There was a man waiting quietly in the study, there was no light in the room, the man sat in the dark, his hands were flat on his laps, quietly, motionless, as soon as Xia Xun came in, he suddenly got up and called, "My lord! ”

Xia Xun nodded, walked over and lit the lamp, and the soft light suddenly filled the room. Xia Xun sat down in the bookcase and looked at the man standing opposite. This man was wearing an ordinary robe with a round neck, narrow sleeves on the right side, a purple scarf on his head, a long figure, in his early twenties, and a handsome appearance.

He is Zuo Dan, the person of the hidden dragon, and the person of the hidden dragon also has a public identity in Jinling, as a cover, which is necessary. However, there are many kinds of public identities, and Zuo Dan's public identity also belongs to the underground world, because he opened a casino. There is always an underground world in any city, just as light and darkness always go hand in hand.

"Got it?" Xia Xun asked quietly.

"Yes! The one who gave the idea to Duan Mi's family and asked them to come to ask for the Duke of the State was Zhang Antai, the right general political secretary. ”

"Zhang Antai? I don't know this person. ”

Zuo Dan's preparation was very full, and he also brought a portrait of this person, but when he unfolded it, Xia Xun still had no impression. However, he learned about the yamen of the General Administration Department.

The Department of Communications is the body that receives and examines internal and external documents and documents of appeals from subjects. In charge of the order of the cashier, to convey the situation, to investigate and cooperate with the official documents of customs and defense, to report to the subjects of the Quartet, to make suggestions, complaints, military situations, disasters and other matters, its function is to open up the world.

The Department of General Administration has set up a general political envoy to accept the internal and external chapters and the matter of the perfunctory refutation, and the officials of the three products: one person on the left and right of the general administration, and one person from the left and right, and the fourth product, to accept the internal and external chapters and the subjects to seal the complaints. If the cabinet scholar is the emperor's assistant, then the secretary is the emperor's secretary.

Xia Xun thought for a while and said, "About the details of this person, tell me about it." ”

Zuo Dan calmly responded and replied: "Zhang Antai, forty-six years old this year, Hongwu eighteenth year jinshi and first, awarded the Hanlin Academy to edit, and then promoted to revis, and then came back to do the experience of general politics, senators, tired officials promoted to the right general government. His subordinates carefully investigated, and he and Imperial Envoy Duan were in the same year and had a relatively close relationship.

Xia Xun groaned, judging from this person's political experience, he has always been a Beijing official, and he has no relationship with himself, maybe Ming'er is too sensitive to himself? This person just accidentally knew where he lived, so he pointed out the old family's family to ask him for help?

After all, Chen Ying and Ji Gang were very evil at that time, the kind of situation where everyone is in danger, if they can find a competent person to control the situation, then not only will they help their friends, but their situation will be safer, as long as he does not have a more dangerous purpose, Xia Xun is not willing to be unforgiving.

Xia Xun asked, "That's all?" Where did he know that the king had borrowed the house for me? Although this is not a secret, I didn't say that Wang Juma lent me the house because of the friendship between us, and there was no reason to go out to show off. ”

Zuo Dan said: "This matter, the humble position cannot be verified, maybe only he himself knows, even if Wang Yuma, I am afraid that I don't remember who I inadvertently mentioned." No, I don't... When Guogong was not in Beijing, Mu En once asked Dai Tou to tell us one thing ......".

"Huh?"

Zuo Dan said: "Mu En is now appointed by the emperor as the manager of the inner study, and he is in charge of the chapter reported by the General Administration Department to the Great Interior. There is an unwritten rule between the General Administration Department and the inner study, they usually put the most wanted to do the piece on the top, whether it is entering the palace or leaving the palace, both sides will see it, and it will be clear. Because the general secretary has a request for the inner study, and the inner study also asks for the general secretary, it is generally convenient for the other party.

When the emperor reviews the chapter, the first thing he sees, the easier it is to attract attention. And the emperor's approved chapters, which need to be handled, will not always be marked with a serial number of one, two, three, four, so which one to do first, which one to do later, sometimes it is possible to press for a few days and then pay, this time is enough to make some preparations for some people. ”

Xia Xun smiled and hummed softly. He understands this matter, in fact, this is the reason why some people deliberately stammered with the secretary of the leader, some things that can be done or not, can be done first and then done, they can make the leader notice or not notice with a little trick, you don't answer them correctly, then go and sigh that King Yan is good, the little ghost is difficult.

Zuo Dan said: "A few days ago, many imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate impeached the heroes of the Jingnan for bullying their colleagues, extorting and accepting bribes, and there were many similar recitals. The fact that you borrowed the residence of the king and the horse was also impeached by the officials, saying that it was a bribe. And when the letter of impeachment of the Duke of China was taken from the General Administration, it was placed at the top! ”
