Take a boat from Haizhou Wharf, take Broad Beans and Zhao Qi'er south, and it is only a day to go along the coastline to Yangzhou Wharf.

It was already dark, and Ye Qing, who returned to Yangzhou City, did not go home as soon as possible, so he sent Broad Bean'er back to report to Zhong Qing that he was safe, and then took Zhao Qi'er to Xin Qiji's home.

Now Xin Qiji's wife and concubine have all followed him to Yangzhou, but obviously the identity of the concubine is very low at this time, so it is impossible for Ye Qing to see what Xin Qiji's concubine looks like.

However, looking at Fan Ruyu, his wife who made tea for him, Zhao Qi'er and Xin Qiji, Ye Qing pondered, it is estimated that Xin Qiji's concubine should also have a bit of beauty, otherwise there is such a beautiful wife, if the concubine wants to survive, she can only rely on her appearance, right?

Fan Ruyu was very conscious, after entertaining Ye Qing, he consciously withdrew from Xin Qiji's study, looking at the window and adding a lot of sentimental words, Ye Qing said with a smile: "What, you, the general judge of Yangzhou, have also learned to entertain now?" This Mrs. Xin should be a good handwriting. ”

Xin Qiji snorted with his nostrils, of course he could hear that Ye Qing was mocking him for being strictly controlled by his wife, and he couldn't even drink a drink.

"It's just that each other is just drinking more, and when I feel better, I'll drink it again?" Xin Qiji was proud of the amount of alcohol, but when he met Ye Qing, he was a big deal, and there was not a single time when he didn't come back unconscious. So this has also become a trick for Ye Qing to make fun of him every time.

"Okay, I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, I don't care anyway, I'm afraid that you will be unconscious again, and Mrs. Xin will write on the wall on this window again, and it will cost money to change the window paper." Ye Qing was unforgiving, looking at Xin Qiji's depressed appearance, he couldn't be happier anymore.

"How is the trip to Haizhou?" Xin Qiji rolled his eyes, simply didn't entangle with Ye Qing on the topic of drinking, and instead asked about the matter and reminded: "Liu Dexiu has been wandering around your mansion every day in the past few days, and has been caught three times by your housekeeper, I think he suspects that you are not in Yangzhou." ”

"It's okay, now that I'm back, I'm not afraid of anything. Haizhou and his entourage are not bad, although they are a strip of water, but to put it bluntly, after all, they are divided into north and south and the official family, and they must be cautious in the future. Ye Qing sighed, the small fishing boat that had been sitting for a day today, now sitting on the chair, always has a feeling of swaying.

"What do I need to do? You Ye Governor is going to come to the door for nothing, say it. Xin Qijian was quick to speak, looking at Ye Qing who was tired and dusty, he didn't need to ask to know that he must have not even returned home after getting off the boat, so he ran directly to himself.

"There's a little thing, I just don't know if you want to." Ye Qing said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Xin Qiji didn't speak, looked at Ye Qing silently, and after a long while, he said in a deep voice: "Say it, as long as Xin can do it, he will definitely not refuse." ”

Xin Qiji did not use his subordinate official to call himself, but used Xin, which is naturally a good thing for Ye Qing, at least it shows that in Xin Qiji's eyes, he is not only his superior, but also his friend.

"Your career has not been smooth, I think you also know the reason, in addition to your identity as a reformer, it is your father-in-law, so that the court has always been unable to completely rest assured of your illness. For so many years, even if you are patriotic and patriotic, you have never been able to get the approval of the imperial court. This thing...... As long as you do it, I am afraid that the court's trust in you will continue to decrease in the future. So do you still want to listen? After Ye Qing pondered it, he said with some contradictions.

Xin Qiji took a deep breath, looked at Ye Qing, who was also looking at him, and then looked at Zhao Qi'er: "Who will accompany me?" ”

"It's Lao Zhao." Ye Qing said happily.

"Okay, I promise you. But the ambition to resist gold, I also hope that you will always keep it in mind, and don't let down my expectations of you Ye Qing. Xin Qiji said with a serious expression.

Ye Qing listened to the word "disappointed", and always felt that it was appropriate to change to a woman and tell herself, and a big man told him not to live up, and he always felt that something was weird.

"Anti-gold, investment gold, I don't think I will explain, you Xin Qiji should also know Ye Qing's choice, right?" Ye Qing nodded seriously, and then said to Xin Qiji.

"Okay, I'll leave for the New ...... tomorrow." Xin Qi nodded happily in agreement.

"No, it's Tai'an." Ye Qing corrected decisively.

"Tai'an?" Xin Qiji asked in surprise.

"Yes, now Mr. Fan has been promoted from the original Xinxizhi County to the Zhizhou of Tai'an Prefecture, so you are going to Tai'an Prefecture." Ye Qing's eyes were firm, and he looked at Xin Qiji and continued: "And I also hope that you can go with your wife." ”

"This ...... I'm afraid that's not right, right? Xin Qiji frowned, if he took Fan Ruyu to Tai'an Prefecture, if the imperial court knew about it, his career as a reformed person would basically be regarded as .......

"If it's just you, I'm afraid you won't even see your father-in-law's face." Ye Qing smiled and continued: "Take your wife with you, maybe Fan Zhizhou will talk to you for the sake of his daughter." After all, the northern land has been occupied by the Jin people for too long, and no one can say for sure what the hearts of the people are, right? ”

"What about this side?" Xin Qiji frowned, and did not agree to Ye Qing at the first time.

"Provincial relatives. Or maybe I'm hiding it for you. Ye Qing said.

"I'll give you an answer tomorrow." Xin Qiji nodded silently, and then added: "One night is enough, if I agree, I will leave early tomorrow morning, if I don't agree, you can see me in the government office." ”

Ye Qing nodded, then got up, said "yes", picked up the cup and even took a sip of steaming tea, and then left Zhao Qi'er at Xin Qiji's house, and walked on the streets of Yangzhou alone.

Ye Qing didn't plan to give Xin Qiji any more room to maneuver, no matter what, only by forcing Xin Qiji into a desperate situation, he would dare to use Xin Qiji's mind with confidence.

After all, the pedantry and stubbornness of this literati are sometimes more stubborn than anything else, and the rules and regulations of Confucian culture shackle their concept of loyalty to the monarch and serve the country.

In Ye Qing's plan, if Xin Qiji went to Tai'an Prefecture this time, if he could be successful, the next stop of the Zhao Song clan, then he would need to choose Tai'an Prefecture.

Tai'an Prefecture is not far from Jinan Mansion, and what makes Ye Qing even more excited is that both Tai'an Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture are south of the Yellow River.

Of course, he also knows very well in his heart that the Jin people are not fools, and now the Jin Guosheng is finished with Yan Yong, and when he was not the emperor, he was placed in Jinan Mansion, so it can be seen that the Jin people also attach great importance to Jinan Mansion.

If you look down from the sky, there are only a small pile of bright places in Yangzhou City at night, and the rest of the places are just some sporadic lights, which look more like a foil to the center of Yangzhou City.

In stark contrast to Yangzhou, if you stand on the side of the Lin'an Palace on the Phoenix Mountain overlooking the entire Lin'an City, you will find that the name of Lin'an is by no means exaggerated by literati and scholars.

Like a fire dragon's royal street as the axis, and then spread in all directions, even the city gates and even outside the city, are brightly lit a prosperous scene, even if standing on the top of Phoenix Mountain, looking at the lights under the feet, as if you can feel the bustle and hustle and bustle under the lights.

Bai Chun also gave birth to a boy for Ye Qing, which should have been a very happy thing, but Bai Chun couldn't be happy, because Ye Daguan in Yangzhou had always hoped that she could give him a girl.

Yan Tingcheng looked at the letter handed over by Ye Qing, and scolded Ye Qing for not knowing what to do, he was still unhappy when the Ye family was full of incense, it was unreasonable, if he wanted a girl, then let Yangzhou give birth to him, and see if it could be as he wished, anyway, I like boys very much.

Bai Chun looked at Yan Chengcheng helplessly, he was more concerned about the child he gave birth to than himself, shook his head a little speechlessly, and then sighed: "Lonely city, no defects, can't he give a better name?" ”

"I think it's pretty good." Yan Tingcheng hugged Bai Chun's son, and his own son looked pitifully at the little guy who took away his mother's love, although he may not understand it in his heart at the moment, but he still felt that his mother was better to his younger brother than himself.

"And do you know what the name he had prepared earlier?" Bai Chun motioned to Jin Se to find Mo Xiaobao to go to the study, and then without waiting for Yan Qingcheng to ask, he said to himself: "People have never thought about the boy's name at all, and they have always thought that it is a girl, so they named it Ye Chuixue, look at it, this name will be used by him sooner or later." ”

"Ye Fuxue?" Yan Tingcheng muttered, feeling that it was quite meaningful.

"Ye Wuji, is this to say that he is not short of boys to inherit the Ye family's incense, hum." Bai Chun snorted, pinched Ye Gucheng's tender face again, and then walked towards the study.

Bai Chun, who came to the study, returned to her indifferent and cold appearance compared to the resentment of her wife just now.

Similarly, Mo Xiaobao has a deep respect for the two ladies in his heart, and now he has married Jin Se, and the two ladies have also bought a house for them, just because Jin Se is unwilling to leave the two ladies, so he has been living here, and the new house that the two ladies bought for them has been empty and uninhabited.

"This is a letter from the gentleman, you can take a look at it first." Bai Chun sat down behind the desk, and after a slight smile appeared on her face, she returned to her cold and indifferent appearance.

Mo Xiaobao took the letter, and the words on it were very simple: "I was sent to Jinguo as soon as I got married, and now your newlywed honeymoon is almost over, you can't stay in the gentle township anymore, pack up and go to Yangzhou." ”

"Mr. asked me to go to Yangzhou." After Mo Xiaobao read the letter, he unfolded the letter and handed it to Bai Chun.

"I already knew that he would be like this, don't pay attention to him, this is not long after the marriage with Jinse, how can there be such a hurry to send people. There's nothing big going on with him these days, and you'll be there in a while. Bai Chun said to Mo Xiaobao.

"It's ......." Mo Xiaobao was a little embarrassed, but let him directly refuse Bai Chun, he didn't dare, but if he didn't obey Ye Qing's orders, he didn't dare.

"Haven't you heard that the generals are not subject to military orders abroad?" I don't know when, Yan Tingcheng also appeared at the door, looking at Mo Xiaobao who was in a dilemma, he naturally wanted to help Bai Chun speak.

Since Ye Qing went to Yangzhou, and since Yan Qingcheng also knew that Zhong Qing and Liu Qingyan were in Yangzhou, Bai Chun and Yan Qingcheng unconsciously formed an alliance, and in the eyes of the two of them, the two in Yangzhou were the "enemies" of the two of them.

And Zhong Qing in Yangzhou is also exquisite, obviously she also knows the rules and humility between wives and concubines, so when Ye Qing has not yet arrived in Yangzhou, she thought of using the marriage of broad beans and You'er to please these two "sisters" who passed the door before her.

"But I'm afraid that there are not enough people on Mr.'s side, and there is no one sent by him." Mo Xiaobao said embarrassedly.

Yan Qingcheng walked up to Mo Xiaobao very violently, stretched out his hand and pointed at Mo Xiaobao, and said angrily: "Look at your little talent, with your husband's dispatch, you don't even care about the newly married bride, are you worthy of Jinse?" ”

"If Madame says so, then wouldn't Mr. be even more sorry for you, ...... back then." Mo Xiaobao squeaked and said.

"What do you do when you talk about your business, and mention our business? is getting bolder and bigger, and they have learned to talk back, and it seems that they must let Jinse ...... well. Yan Tingcheng looked at Bai Chun and winked at her, so he became more and more energetic.

"Okay, ma'am, if you need to do something after Xiaobao passes, you might as well just say it." Mo Xiaobao pondered for a long time, and finally gradually reacted, the two ladies were not unwilling to let themselves go to Yangzhou, but had other purposes, so they were so embarrassed by themselves.

After finishing speaking, Mo Xiaobao's eyes looked at Bai Chun and Yan Chengcheng, and saw that the two ladies looked relaxed in an instant, with a hint of a smile on their beautiful cheeks, and Bai Chun, who looked very comfortable, nodded again and again to Mo Xiaobao's upper path.

"Yes, Xiaobao, you are still very smart, if you are not transparent, I have to wonder what you have learned from him all these years." Bai Chun looked at Mo Xiaobao with satisfaction and said.

"Madam, you commanded, as long as Xiaobao can do it, he will not refuse." Mo Xiaobao said hurriedly.

At the beginning, when Liu Lan'er didn't know that Li Heng was a fake betrayal, she would come to Bai Chun every day during that time, and Liu Lan'er told Bai Chun everything about the Imperial City Division or about the umbrella, and from that time on, Liu Lan'er was like the existence of Bai Chun's deputy, and she would report everything to Bai Chun.

So after studying with Liu Lan'er for all these years, Bai Chun, who originally just wanted to find out whether Fan Niande's death had anything to do with Ye Qing, but now instead of figuring out what happened to Fan Niande's death, he fell headlong into this umbrella and became the second leader with Ye Qing's acquiescence.

But even as the second in command of the umbrella, Bai Chun's knowledge of Yangzhou's things about Zhong Qing and Liu Qingyan is extremely limited, she doesn't know if these things are deliberately done by Ye Qing, or if there is nothing about how many people there are.

Therefore, with Ye Qing asking Mo Xiaobao to go to Yangzhou, Bai Chun and Yan Chengcheng planned to train Mo Xiaobao as "their own person", instead of being bought by the two fox spirits over there after arriving in Yangzhou.
