"Yes, sir." The scolded maid had no choice but to endure the soreness of her tired arms and continue to fan the fan in her hand vigorously.

The swaying fan kept blowing in gusts of fresh wind, making the man who was already lying on the rocking chair instantly cool down.

"Well, that's right. It's not easy for the master to raise you, don't do some work and think about how to be lazy all day long. At this moment, the man shook his head in satisfaction and said.

……

"Master, the third uncle of the clan is here to see." At the door, the housekeeper Kong Lin6 walked in briskly to preach.

"Third uncle? Good decent, what is he here to do? It can't be that the people from the imperial court have come to ask for food again! The man in the rocking chair who closed his eyes and recuperated after hearing Kong Lin's words, opened his eyes and slowly sat up and said.

"Back to my lord, I don't know much about this. The third uncle came over in a hurry, as if there was something urgent. Kong Lin bowed his hand.

"Then invite him in!"

The man stood up and straightened his clothes a little, and then commanded the maid who was still fanning, "You go down first!" ”

"Yes, the slave and maid thanked the Holy Lord Yan." Hearing this, the maid hurriedly saluted the man as if she had unloaded her burden, and quickly exited the door.

"Take a closer look, this Xiaocui's figure is not bad..."Looking at the maid's beautiful back, Yan Shenggong Kong Zhaozhao (1) became obscene in his mind.

"Master, the third uncle has arrived."

After a while, Kong Lin led Kong Jimu, the third uncle of the Kong family, to call outside the door.

"Come in, please." Kong Zhao said as he spoke, looking ready to greet him outside the door.

"Third uncle, please come here..."Kong Lin outside the door stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

"Third uncle, I'm polite." Seeing Kong Jimu coming in from outside the door, Kong Zhaozhao hurriedly waved his hands and said hello.

In fact, Kong Zhaozhao has always been quite disgusted with Kong Jimu's meddling in the affairs of the house, but after all, the other party is his elder uncle, and even if he is a noble Yan Shenggong, he can't hold it up in front of him, so as not to spread it, saying that he, the Yan Shenggong, does not know how to respect and humble etiquette.

You must know that today's Qianlong Emperor is the most taboo about this kind of thing. If this matter reached him, the emperor would listen to the slander of the "treacherous" in the court, and if he said it badly, he would take away his name as the Holy Prince.

"Yan Sheng Gong is polite..."Kong Jimu also stretched out his hand to Kong Zhaozhao and waved slightly.

"In such a hot weather, the third uncle rushed over hard, it's really not my nephew, what is the third uncle telling my nephew to go over." Kong Zhaozhao looked at Kong Jimu, who was sweating all over his head, and said politely.

"Yan Sheng Gong is polite, my old bone can still walk now, it's better to be more active." Kong Jimu replied.

"It's really a blessing that the third uncle is old and strong. I don't know what the third uncle is doing now? Kong Zhaozhao asked suspiciously.

"It's really something, it's still a big deal!" Kong Jimu said, and the expression on his whole face became serious.

"What's wrong? Could it be that the imperial court sent someone over to ask for food again? Kong Zhaozhao looked at Kong Jimu's appearance, thinking that this was the case, and said casually, in fact, he was dripping blood in his heart.

"Grain? I have already given the food that the court wants. Kong Jimu didn't seem to expect Kong Zhaozhao to say that way, and replied after being stunned for a few seconds.

"Just give it. Although it is not easy for us as a family, it is not easy for the court to pacify the thieves. If there were no soldiers and horses of the imperial court, how could the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment? As a model for the world, we should "worry about the worries of the world". The third uncle will take care of it, and when the court calms down the short-haired thief, everything will be fine. Kong Zhao called a righteous and awe-inspiring "comfort" Kong Jimu and said.

Listening to Kong Zhao's words, Kong Jimu had 10,000 "grass and mud horses" running over in his heart at this moment.

Lao Tzu didn't say anything, did he? You are deducted from such a "crime"? Besides, I don't know what you kid looks like, and don't pretend to be a "sage", others don't understand you and I don't understand you? If it weren't for the fact that your kid was beaten by Qianlong last year for being in the limelight (2), and even the name of this Yan Shenggong was almost wiped out, would your kid be so perverse now?

"Xianwen (3) Ah! There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to. Kong Jimu looked at Kong Zhaozhao with contempt in his eyes and said.

Kong Jimu's words made Kong Zhaozhao's face slightly embarrassed for a moment, and then he recovered.

Indeed, although this is a high-sounding statement, it is tantamount to saying it in vain if it cannot be disseminated. What the imperial court came to transport away were their own grain and grass, and those white rice and noodles were false. But they didn't show it at all, and they didn't have the guts, after all, they had seen this barbarism.

"Since the third uncle is not talking about food, why is he so anxious?" Kong Zhaozhao asked.

"You really don't know?" Kong Jimu asked rhetorically.

"What's the matter? What do I know? Looking at Kong Jimu's appearance, Kong Zhaozhao was strange.

"Is there something wrong with the emperor coming to the Confucian Temple to worship?"

"Looks like you really don't know yet." Kong Jimu sighed and said.

"What the hell is going on, don't sell it." Kong Zhaozhao asked hurriedly.

"You know about the anti-thieves attacking Jiangning Mansion!" Kong Jimu asked.

"This is naturally known, otherwise the imperial court will not raise food to our family." Kong Zhaozhao nodded and said.

"Then do you know that the thief went to the south to worship the Confucian Temple?" Kong Jimu continued to ask.

"I haven't heard this yet, but I can probably expect that there is nothing surprising, after all, there are many Confucian disciples on the side of the thief. Why, the south side voted for the thief? Kong Zhaozhao said.

"Not only did he vote, he has publicly recognized the anti-thief as the co-master of the world, and called on the people of the world to oppose the current court. Expelled the Tartars and restored China. Kong Jimu replied heartbrokenly.

"How can it be, the head of the south is not like such a brainless person, if it is not too early to rush to bet on the thief before he has seen it today. Don't look at the anti-thieves who are jumping up and down now, but as long as the court has its hands free, it doesn't know if they can be cleaned up at any time! The one in the south, isn't it too stupid? Kong Zhaozhao also complained.

"Wait, if the south says so, then Emperor Qianlong can't hate our Kong family?"

"You've finally figured it out. The south side openly voted for the anti-thief, which was a slap in the face of the imperial court. Now it is estimated that the entire imperial court is looking at the meaning of our Northern Kong. Kong Jimu said.

"So what do you have to think about? Hurriedly went to the court and refuted the south, saying that they were just branches and could not represent the real Confucian family. I, the Confucian family, recognize that the current imperial court is orthodox. Kong Zhao replied.

"The book must be wanted, but what I want to tell you next is what you really have to consider, which is related to the victory or defeat of our Northern Kong..."Kong Jimu said worriedly.

Note (1): Recently, the great god of river crabs has been here, so everyone understands and understands.

(2): Interested friends can search for "Ding Wenbin case", and later the matter of the temple households in the Shangshu Imperial Court, which was thought to be true by the Holy Prince, caused Qianlong's dissatisfaction, and was scolded by Qianlong: "In the case of the sacrifice of Qufu, that is, the Holy Father of Yan is still bowing to himself but sweeping, how can he turn to shelter the temple households, and blame the reason?" (Lao Tzu went to your place to give you face, you should personally sprinkle the reception, what kind of moth!) ）
