After eating noon, Jiang Jian talked to Shang Cheng for a while, and around the clock, he got up and said goodbye. He slipped out of the yamen halfway, and although he didn't have to go back to sign the yamen, it was not good to delay tomorrow's order.

This time, he still didn't find a suitable opportunity to tell Shang Cheng that he wanted to resign. He really couldn't put it into words. Yes, he came to Shangjing with a hot heart, but all he gained was loss and confusion, and he was frustrated again and again in his efforts again and again, and he was frustrated and lazy before he gave birth to the idea of resigning. So, what about Shang Cheng? What kind of mood did Shang Cheng have when he came to Shangjing, and what did he get in Shangjing? What else is there besides the title of Lord that is already deserved? Nothing. He is just a false name in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, is it not a false name for Shangcheng's Shangzhuguo and Ying County? At least he has to go up and down every day, and he can always do something practical more or less, so as not to waste his time; However, Shang Cheng could only "recuperate" in Zhuangzi, using some meaningless trivial things to pass the lonely years, painting a map of the world, building a globe, and moving a stone from the barracks back to carve it slowly...... Every time he thought of this, his heart was full of sentimentality. When he was in Yanshan before, he had never seen Shang Cheng agitate these things. No matter how many things are and how complicated the official affairs are, Shang Cheng has never complained or tired, at most he scolded twice and complained; But now? Today's Shang Cheng, it is difficult to have a cheerful face, and there is often sadness between his eyebrows. Today in Shang Cheng's study, he also found a banner with a new inscription that was not long ago, one by one, "Strong heart, martyr twilight". He was puzzled for a long time, wondering if Shang Chengji had a fork in the original sentence of Cao Cao's "Turtle Although Shou" was "the twilight of the martyr, and the heart is strong". He soon understood that this was by no means Shang Cheng's misremembered order of words, but a true portrayal of the situation Shang Cheng was facing: he had no ambition to forge ahead, but helplessly, there was no world for him to display his ambitions......

Now, Jiang Jian sat on the saddle, silently chewing on the deliberately staggered Chinese poem in his heart, and a sad mood slowly crept into his heart. Alas, Shang Cheng has enough troubles, he can't help himself, so why bother him? Forget it, let's let it go for a while.

While thinking about his thoughts, he and Xun An spoke without a word.

Xun An walked with him. The day after tomorrow is Xun An's brother-in-law's 40th birthday, and he wants to go over to congratulate him. His wife and children returned to the city first in the morning, and only he was temporarily invited by Yue'er to discuss something, so he delayed his journey until now.

Yue'er came to him to say that Shang Cheng was in the fiefdom of Ying County. It has been almost a year since Shang Cheng was knighted, and the family has never sent anyone to check the situation of the fiefdom, but just asked the local government to help take care of it. A few days ago, a letter came from the county order, with a list. There is no need to mention the list, but it is just about the geometry of the land and the population of Yingbofengyi, and the geometry that should have been used in the middle has such and such a geometry in the middle, and the final balance is geometry; The key is the content of the epistle. Ying County Commander thanked Shang Cheng for his trust, and said modestly that he didn't know if what he was doing was not in line with Shang Cheng's wishes, and finally mentioned that this year has passed and will not repeat it, but next year, should Ying County Bo arrange someone to manage his own fiefdom? Although Shang Cheng entrusted the fiefdom to the local trust in the locality, Shang Cheng always did not send people to govern the fiefdom, and the people in the fiefdom would inevitably have some messy thoughts; Moreover, some rules and systems in the fiefdom should also be formulated as soon as possible; This matter cannot be overstepped at all in the local government, and must be done by reliable people sent by Shangcheng. Yue'er found Xun An, just to ask Xun An to serve as the pastor of the feudal town of Ying County. But Xun An's current identity is the merchant's guest secretary, and it is impossible for Yue'er to directly decide Xun An's whereabouts, and the status of the guest secretary is far above Yi Mu, so Yue'er must first ask him what he means.

"Do you want to go or don't you want to?" Jiang Jun asked directly. In the past few months, he has been walking around the wharf outside the city of Shangjing City to observe the "economic phenomenon", and Xun An is accompanying him, so the relationship between the two is very good.

Xun An said with a sad face: "It's not good. I would like to go, but I am a little reluctant to leave Shangjing......"

Jiang Yan was speechless. He understood Xun An's current thoughts very well. Xun An used to be just a small official in Pingyuan Mansion, and a person with a little bit of a face could dictate to him, but now he is a guest of Shangcheng, as long as he knows his identity, he will greet him with a smile when he sees him from afar; How different is this difference in identity alone? The Xun family has been in Beijing for several generations, how could they have been so proud? is such a scenery as Xitu, and Xun An will most likely not immediately agree to leave Beijing and go to Yingxian. However, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Xun An not to leave the capital. Not to mention anything else, he observed the economic activities in the Shangjing market, and he couldn't do without Xun An's guidance and help. What's more, Xun An has worked in the Yamen of Pingyuan Mansion for many years, knows a lot of people, and has a little insight in doing business, and he can also handle things in the warehouse......

He thought about it, and then said to Xun An: "Then you tell Miss Yue'er that you don't want to go." ”

"It's not big, is it?" Xun An said.

"What's good or bad. Miss Yue'er is not an unreasonable person, don't worry, she won't blame you. ”

“…… I'm not saying it'......"

"And what do you want to say?"

Xun An hesitated, and said hesitantly: "You know me, my guest secretary is really lucky...... he knows very well that his identity as a guest secretary is all because Shang Cheng doesn't understand the customs of the Central Plains. On articles, morality, talent, and ability, which of his Xun'an can be worthy of the guest secretary of the business? Even if he only talks about his heart regardless of his talent, he can't afford it. If his heart was not bad, just by virtue of Ying Bo's kindness to help him pay off his debts, he should have resigned himself, so as not to let others ridicule the businessman's low threshold and poor vision......

Jiang Jun glanced back and saw that the entourage of the two people was a few steps behind, so he said in a low voice: "Lao Xun, you shouldn't have such a mind. When you say this, where do you put yourself, and where do you put the commander? Listen to me, what kind of person you are, I know, Miss knows, and the Governor knows even more! Otherwise, he will treat you as a guest? He raised his palm to signal Xun An not to speak in a hurry, and continued, "You know my origin, right?" However, he was just a scribe in Xima Zhichuan, Beizheng County, under the jurisdiction of Yanshan Weiduan Prefecture; Who is Sun Zhongshan? The border army of Yanshan was sent to the border army of Yanshan; What about paragraph four? A few years ago, it was a very ordinary hunter in West Malaysia...... I won't mention it, it's just a mediocre person with low eyes. Sun Zhongshan and Duan Si are extraordinary! You know their deeds, one set foot on Blackwater City, and the other went to sea to attack the Eastern Wa Kingdom thousands of miles away, all of which are worthy of being famous in history! A person who has sinned and a people who have been in the mountains and wilderness, who has turned into mulberry fields in a blink of an eye, and each has made great contributions or is about to establish great merits, have you not thought carefully about the twists and turns of this? ”

Xun An's chest seemed to be lit with a fire, scratching his ears and cheeks on horseback, and fidgeting for a while, he said in a dumb voice: "General Sun and General Duan Si, they, they ...... They are all ...... of Wuqu Xing."

Jiang Yan smiled. It's not that he hasn't seen Sun Zhongshan when he was down, where is there a little bit of stardom? Needless to say, Duan Si is not to mention, everyone is a straight person from West Malaysia for generations, who can not know whose background? Even if there are really mortal martial arts stars, it will not be their turn.

Xun An heard him laugh, and immediately knew that what he said was wrong. He paused, swallowed and said, "But I, I'm like this...... What's that, Ying Bo, Ying Bo ...... He never paid attention to my ......"

"There are many people who ignore the Governor. When I first worked with him, because of something wrong, he sprayed a spit on his face, pointing to the door and telling me to roll up the cover and get out of the house immediately. ”

"......" Xun An stammered at that time, unable to speak. In his opinion, Jiang Jun is more like a guest secretary than him, the first guest secretary of the business, and the relationship between the two is also unusually close. Why has he never heard anyone talk about it, there is still this past between Ying Bo and Jiang Tuan?

"It was a few years ago. At that time, the governor was still the direct commander of West Malaysia. Once, when he was going to the county seat for a few days, he explained some urgent matters to me. I didn't take it seriously, and I delayed it for a few days, and he scolded me. Jiang Yan was also embarrassed when he talked about the old things back then. sighed for a while, and then continued the words back: "He ignores you, because he thinks there is nothing in front of him that needs your help." But you can also go to him......"

"I'm looking for him? What do I ask him for? Xun An asked in a daze. He really couldn't think of what he could do if he found Shang Cheng? "Military government affairs, I, I don't know anything!"

Jiang Jian originally wanted to use himself as an example and tell Xun An that he could go to Shang Cheng to ask for a lesson. But he suddenly realized that Shang Cheng was full of sorrow at the moment, and he was afraid that he didn't have the heart to explain academic things to others, maybe Xun An's trip would be self-defeating, so he temporarily changed his words when he came to his mouth: "...... In fact, it doesn't matter if you look for him or not. Lao Xun, I look at your face, you are a person who does down-to-earth things, as long as you set your heart to do things, sooner or later you will get ahead. ”

"Really? Will you meet again? Xun An's two little eyes flashed brightly, and he was suddenly interested. He said, "I remember when I was a child, my mother asked the monks of Huaihug Li Temple to calculate my life for me, and the monks said that I had a small misfortune before I was thirty years old, as long as I could cross over, I would be able to meet the help of nobles, and it would be a smooth road from now on, at least the official body of the seven products." I've always wondered, is the fire in my house this year just the little bad luck that the monk said, will Uncle Ying be the noble person he said? ”

"Makes sense. That seems to be the case. ”

“…… Then, the seven-rank official, that is, is the official of Yingbo Fengyi? ”

"Probably so." Jiang Tuan bowed slightly, with an unfathomable look. He finally turned the conversation between the two of them into the profound and profound topic of meeting and measuring fortune.

The two of them dragged all the way into the city, talking and talking, and when they were about to reach Shangcheng's county mansion, a carriage directly blocked the way. The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a person poked his head out and shouted at Jiang Yan's alias:

"Brother Zhenyun, where have you been today, teach me to find it!"
