Bypassing the rockery, a pavilion appears at the back, the eaves are flying in the air, and the flower bell is hung under the eaves. It turns out that the pavilion is surrounded by flowers of the four seasons, and at this time, the rich impatiens bloom brightly. In the hewn lake, the lotus flowers to be released stand slim. Step by step, the water vapor blowing in the face penetrates the whole body, hitting a spirit, and the heat is gone.

Hongcui said in a good voice, she knew that there was such a place in Pingyang, why did she stay in the inn all the time, her whole body was going to stink.

The sound of silk and bamboo, through the water waves, came layer by layer, and there was an ethereal feeling in the air. Unexpectedly, Gao Wenhan was also such an elegant person. Looking from afar, they saw a figure with his back to them.

Yacha led the way, walked over quickly, bent down and said, "My lord, Qing Gege has arrived!" ”

The figure hurriedly got up and went down the pavilion, and said, "Humble Gao Wenhan greets Qing Gege!" ”

He was dressed in civilian clothes, with a sparse gray braid on the back of his head, and he didn't look like the person who played the piano just now. Gege bowed slightly, and said, "Ruoqing couldn't imagine that Lord Gao was still such an elegant person. ”

Gao Wenhan said while leading Gege into the pavilion: "Gege Gao looked, before Wenhan came out, he loved to caress the piano. Since becoming an official, he has become a layman, and there are few such Yaxing. ”

At this time, Gege had already stepped into the pavilion, sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion, and said: "As a parent official, busy with official business, how many can be elegant?" If they are all elegant people, I am afraid that the world will not be peaceful. ”

Gao Wenhan replied respectfully. Gege stared at the guqin on the stone table, but said to him, "Master Gao, sit down." It's a good piano. ”

Gao Wenhan sat down at the bottom and replied, "Qing Gege is well-informed. Eyesight is never wrong. This piano was originally given by a friend of the humble position, and it was originally an old thing of the Qin Wangfu in the Tang Dynasty. ”

Gege said lightly: "I said, it doesn't look like it belongs to the people." But this friend is really generous. Such a valuable guqin was given away for nothing. After that, he glanced at Gao Wenhan intentionally or unintentionally.

Gao Wenhan's face turned red, and he replied with a smile: "It's not a free gift, and it took a whole year of silver to be humble." Qing Gege didn't know that if he had seen his humble post last year, he wouldn't be as comfortable as he is today, and he didn't even have a piece of clothes on his body. There is no rice to cook at home, so he wants to go back to his parents' house. If it weren't for the frequent relief of my father-in-law, I am afraid that I would really have to borrow money to get by. ”

As soon as the words were finished. But I saw that the yacha was bringing tea. Gao Wenhan ordered the guqin to be moved, and he personally offered the tea to Gege, and said respectfully: "Qing Gege, please drink tea." Not a good tea. Qing Gege made do with it. ”

Gege lifted the lid of the tea. I smelled a strong aroma of tea and wheat, and couldn't help but say: "This is tartary buckwheat tea, which is the best way to clear heat and remove fire." In the hot summer, it is suitable to drink tartary buckwheat. ”

Gao Wenhan smiled and said: "Gege is really an expert, opening his mouth and closing his mouth is the way, and he has learned from his humble position." ”

Who knew that Gege didn't drink tea, so he covered the tea lid and put it on the table. He asked idly: "I heard that a murder case was sent to the government last night?" ”

Gao Wenhan was stunned, and his face changed slightly. But then he replied: "I'm afraid that the fastest thing in the world is rumors." But then again, this is not a rumor, and he wanted to tell Gege later. However, Gege must also know that in a huge Pingyang Mansion, murder cases are not uncommon. Usually, anger and murder abound due to quarrels. Although he knows that Gege does it himself, his energy is limited, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to manage it. Therefore, the lowly thinks that this kind of thing is still taken care of by the lowly position, and there is no need to bother with Gege. ”

The implication of his words could not be clearer, the murder case was handled by the prefect, and it was better to be less involved in the absence of official duties.

What kind of character is Gege? How could you not hear what he meant? She looked at a lake of clear water, and in the distance, it was the lobby of the Fuzhi, renovated blue bricks and stone tiles, and the arches were sparse.

After a while, Gege came back to his senses, took a sip of tea and said, "I see that the government has been renovated, when did the imperial court allocate such a large sum of money?" ”

Gao Wenhan reacted very quickly and replied: "The Pingyang Mansion was damaged during the Shunzhi period, and if it was rainy, there would be nine leaks in ten houses. He played many times in his humble position, but he was rejected by the Ministry of Works. I had no choice but to live. However, seeing this, some merchants in Binh Duong scraped together some silver taels and renovated them, which were only built last year. Humble officials do not dare to be greedy, and they are written down one by one. Qing Ge Ge Ruocha, lowly will send someone to take the account books. ”

Gege waved his hand and said, "No need, I didn't come to renovate the mansion today." She glanced at Qian Shen and Mencius, who had been standing under the pavilion for a long time, and said, "Master Gao, look at these two scholars, do you recognize them?" ”

Gao Wenhan turned to look, only to see one tall and the other short, both wearing scholar's robes, blowing their beards and staring at him. Gao Wenhan knew that something was wrong, and nine times out of ten she came to test the joints for the government. At present, these two scholars are only afraid of the people who received 10,000 silver from them. Although he was a little frightened in his heart, he didn't show it on his face at all, and still turned around and said to Gege: "Look at their clothes, they should be unqualified scholars in this mansion, right?" Forgive the confusion of the lowly position, there are thousands of scholars in this house, and it is difficult to know all the lowly duties. ”

Gege said coldly: "Lord Gao is really good at arguing. If you don't know them, will they know you? Qian Shen, you come to meet Master Gao. ”

Qian Shen couldn't wait to step up, stood on the left side of Gao Wenhan, made a gesture, and replied loudly: "Shizi Qian Shen greets Lord Gao!" There are too many scholars in Pingyang Mansion, and it is inevitable that there are people who don't know each other, and the Qian gentry can understand it. However, Qian Shen thought that there were not many scholars who could be willing to take out 10,000 silver, and presumably the tall man should remember Qian Shen for the sake of silver! On March 25, Qian Shen personally handed over 10,000 pieces of silver to Gu Zhao and saw him deliver it to the mansion with his own eyes. If you think about it again, there should be the name of the rich gentleman and the money sent on March 25. It's a pity that the money gentry didn't know that the adult was a person who received money and didn't do anything. If he knew that he was going to meet the adults like this today, Qian Shen would rather donate the silver to the poor families in Binh Duong. ”

Qian Shen is anxious, and today he saw that Gao Wenhan was quite restrained, but he was still aggressive in his words.

Facing Qian Shen's confrontation, Gao Wenhan only smiled slightly, and tapped Qian Shen a few times with his hand, but did not speak. After that, Gao Wenhan turned around and said to Gege: "I don't know where Gege found such a person. There are many unreasonable and arrogant people in Pingyang Mansion, so don't be misled. Humble duty can be sued, lowly duty can be done above board, and shame on the conscience of the things will never be done. If he hadn't been in a nonsense position, would he have any evidence in his hands? Without evidence, there is nothing to say about the lowly position. With that, he stood up, straightened his robe, clasped his fists and said to Gege: "If Gege comes to arrest the lowly one, just speak; If you don't come to arrest the lowly one, the lowly one is still busy with official business, so you will leave. He turned around and said to the yacha who sent Gege in: "It's still good to send Qing Gege out of the house!" So saying, he got up and went away.

The yacha couldn't help but listen to the prefect's instructions, and he didn't dare to offend Gege, so he stepped forward carefully, bowed down and asked carefully: "Gege, is this please?" ”

Gege was not annoyed, she had expected Gao Wenhan to come to such a show, if he wanted to admit it bluntly, it would be weird. Even so, she still had to come to the prefect to ask him, and what she meant was to tell him: I know everything about you, I'm staring at you here, you have to be careful!

Waiting for Gao Wenhan to leave, Gege was still sitting on the stone bench, slowly sipping tea. Seeing that the tea was cold, Dark Xiang asked Gege if he wanted to refill the cup of hot one. Gege waved his hand and said no need, glanced at it, and saw that the yacha was standing bent down, not daring to move a little place, and couldn't help but say: "Let's go, don't be difficult for them." ”

Yacha hurriedly kowtowed and said thank you for your understanding.

Out of the prefect's mansion, Hongcui still caressed Gege and got into the car in front of the Yimen. At this time, Gege Fang said to Mencius and Qian Shen: "You go back first, and I will handle the matter." During this period, you still don't cause trouble, although I am watching, he won't do anything out of the ordinary for the time being, but it's better to be careful. ”

The two of them hurriedly replied, and watched Gege get into the car and walk away before returning home.

Along the way, Gege didn't say a word. At this time, Hongcui was also quiet, and actually accompanied Gege back to the inn. When the shopkeeper saw Gege coming back, he was busy kowtowing and saluting. Gege didn't bother to speak, and Yuuka told him to get up. At dinner, Gegetui said that he had a headache and stopped eating.

When it was so quiet, the door to the upper room of Gege was pushed open. Gege opened his eyes and saw that Hongcui was not in the house, and asked, "Who?" ”

The other party did not make a sound. Gege was surprised and struggled to get up, but saw a woman with heavy makeup coming in, holding a food box in her hand. She bowed her head and came in, and did not speak, but brought the wine and food in the box to the small table one by one.

Seeing that this woman had never known each other and was dressed so charmingly, Gege didn't like it in his heart, but because of his complexion, he asked sullenly, "Did you send it from the store?" I received the store's wishes, but I don't need food or drink here, so you can still serve it out. ”

The woman turned her back to Gege and bowed lightly, which was already very disrespectful, how could a lowly person turn his back to the Venerable and salute? Gege was impatient and said loudly: "You girl doesn't know anything, I asked you to take it out, but you still take it out, why don't you just put it aside and don't speak?" ”

The woman replied in a low voice: "Little girl Chunyan, please Gege'an!" The little woman in the countryside doesn't understand the rules, and she wants to forgive! The summer night is eternal, the heat is unbearable, Chunyan prepares a banquet, please enjoy the face and drink a few glasses. Although Chunyan doesn't have any appearance, she can play a few slang songs, Gege is not bored, Chunyan is willing to play the piano and serve! ”

Her voice was deep and powerful, and seemed to be more durable than her looks. Gege was amazed at how elegant the woman could speak so elegantly. She asked curiously, "Turn your head and I'll see!" ”

The woman's body bowed even more, and her voice became smaller and smaller: "Chunyan doesn't dare!" ”

Gege was slightly angry: "Don't you know who I am? If I ask you to turn around, you will turn around, what dare you dare? ”

The woman slowly turned around, lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows, feeling cramped and uneasy. Gege got out of bed, approached her, lifted her chin with his hand, and saw her thick black eyebrows, scarlet lips, but her nose as if she had seen it somewhere. Being watched by Gege like this, the woman became more and more restless, struggled, and turned to escape.

A silver bell-like laugh sounded outside the door, and Hongcui dragged the woman in and said, "Gege, don't you really see who she is?" (To be continued......)
