Although Zhang Pu stopped the rumors in the prime minister's office in time, where in the world is there an impermeable wall? What's more, the incident still happened in the imperial city and the prime minister's mansion, where there was no wind and waves, so even with Zhang Pu's warning and suppression, the rumors still quickly reached the ears of those who should know. After listening to the whole story, everyone is smiling. This is to be expected, and it is commonplace. Xiao Jian was strict and insisted that they agitated in front of people and poked the gang behind their backs, and dragged Zhu Xuan to the admiral seat of Yanshan, causing the blind man to lose his military power, not to mention, he had to enter Beijing with hatred, and the resentment on both sides was tied to Qiongzhou Island. What kind of person is the blind man in Yi County, where is the time to suffer losses and be dumb? As soon as he made a move, he directly overturned the strategy of Xiao Jian's painstakingly planned southern expedition, and easily taught Zhang Pu to lose face, so he had no choice but to force Xiao Jian to revise the strategy overnight. But that's just the beginning, and the best is yet to come. Lo and behold, it's far from over......

Immediately afterwards, the exact news came that at the time of the county Bofu tomorrow, Zhenqian and Xue Xun received an invitation in person, promising to go to the Shangfu to congratulate the housewarming. The two squires are both prominent officials, and if the two of them work together, the impact will definitely be greater than that of an ordinary six-part Shangshu, which is obviously Shang Cheng preparing for the next move. Those who have a heart immediately turn their attention to those who may receive invitations to business. This cannot but be taken into account. At present, there is a dispute between the north and the south in the open, and there is a dispute between the prince in the dark, and there is repeated turmoil in the court, and the clouds are in Shangjing. Although the southward faction had the upper hand, the northward faction was not completely powerless, and several disciples of the northward leader Dong Quan ran towards the household department for three days and two times, waiting for the annual treasury revenue detailed account of the 21st year of the Eastern Yuan to be released, and then launched a Jedi counterattack against the southward faction. The dispute between Xiao Shang and Shang seems to be a dispute between the two sides over the appointment of the governor of Yanshan, but it is actually a contest between the old mountain head and the young Zhuang faction in the army, and it is likely to be the prelude to the major adjustment of the basic military national policy, and it can easily be cited as a sharp weapon in the hands of people. If Dong Quan can get in touch with the young and strong people in the army, the forces of the Northern Advance faction will suddenly be greatly expanded, and then make a fuss about the fact that the treasury revenue is not strong, and whether Zhang Pu can keep his position is two words.

But what is surprising is that Shang Cheng gave up such a rare opportunity to move to Xixi. Except for the two waiters, and several neighbors in the same alley in Chongyifang, none of the rest were invited.

At first, those who were interested thought that the news was wrong. But the next day, the sky was bright, and the county Bofu hung a plaque to open the door to welcome the guests at the auspicious time, and the people who watched the ceremony at that time had no one except for a few neighborhoods who were invited, that is, Zhenqian and Xue Xun did not have time to come to the scene to congratulate, so simple to shabby housewarming, it was simply confusing. It was only at this time that people began to realize what was going on. Zhen Qian and Shang Cheng have been dating for a long time, and Xue Xun is said to have had a relationship with Shang Cheng for a while, and the two of them can be invited just because of personal friendship. As for the others, whether it is Lao Xiangguo Tangxing or Zhang Pu Dongquan, they and Shang Cheng have contacts because of official business, and moving to a new house is a private matter, and it is understandable that Shang Yanshan did not invite them.

Thinking about this section, some people nodded one by one, Shang Yanshan is worthy of Shang Yanshan; Some people regret that this is a great opportunity to make new friends; Some people are glad that although Shang Yanshan didn't invite him, fortunately, he didn't invite others either; Some people were disappointed, and they originally wanted to take the opportunity to make friends with this newly promoted Shangzhu country......

Shang Cheng doesn't care about other people's thoughts, and he doesn't want to pay attention to other people's thoughts. He didn't see moving as a big deal in the first place. He originally thought that at the auspicious time of two o'clock in the morning, he would hang up the big plaque of the imperial pen of "Ying County Bofu", say a few words of gratitude to the neighbors who watched the ceremony with a smile, politely invite people to go in and drink tea and soup to contact their feelings, and slowly grind the time until noon and then eat and drink, and the matter is over. Who knows that although the people living in this alley are not very rich and expensive, every household is an old plain mansion, and the news is not closed. They have all heard of the fight between Shang Cheng and Xiao Jian's strict immortals, and they have watched the ceremony and congratulated them, and the founders of the two families surnamed Xu took the lead in handing a few gifts to Gao Qiang Li Feng's hand, and then the girl returned to the door to be a guest of the uncle's messy excuse, and they all hugged their fists and bowed their hands to leave, and in a blink of an eye, only Shang Cheng Duan Si and a few guards were left in front of the county uncle's mansion.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but the general moved to a new house but was treated so coldly by his neighbors, several guards were furious, not because Duan Si was pressed, but he was afraid that he would have a seizure on the spot. Duan Si was also gloomy, and after scolding Gao Qiang, he couldn't help but scold his mother: "Suffered from the plague!" Central Plains Shangjing is such a custom?! ”

Shang Cheng was not angry. I have inquired, and several neighborhoods are either working as errands in the forbidden army or working in the imperial city; The two founding sons of the country followed the Marquis of Poyang who started with military merits, and did not inherit grace when they were knighted, and now they are the second generation of people, and they have an idle post in the Pingyuan General's Mansion. These are small families who are cautious in their words and deeds, and they live cautiously with their hard-won belongings, how can they easily wade into troubled waters? He doesn't care. Anyway, he has gone to the ceremony, whether he likes to come or not, whether he likes to eat or not, whatever. Seeing the neighbors returning home, they turned around and said, "What are a bunch of people doing standing at the door, scaring rats and playing?" All in. This will be the county office from now on, and there will be some new rules! He bit his cheek and didn't think about any new rules, and when he heard Li Feng laughing, he casually designated him. Li Feng, you come to write the new rules. ”

Li Feng said with a sad face: "General, I can't write it." ”

"You can't write it?" Shang Cheng glanced at him and said, "You usually have nothing to mess around. When you love someone else's little girl, what five words and seven rules are written in a few big books, and now if you are asked to write a rule, you won't be able to write it? Hurry up and write them one by one! Pay it back to me. With that, he stepped into the mansion.

The mansion is just repaired according to the system, with a radius of more than 20 acres, pavilions, pavilions, halls, halls, gardens, gardens, and gardens. It's a pity that it's the moon now, and the flower platform floor circled in the courtyard is so smooth that only the frozen brown soil remains, and all kinds of miscellaneous trees are also bare and don't see half of the dead leaves. The mansion was new, and Shang Cheng did not have any accompanying family members, and there were only him and more than a dozen guards in the huge county mansion. In the past two days, Gao Qiang has been busy and is also hiring helpers and servants. But he is a big-headed small school who has just become literate, where does he have the ability and experience to run a mansion and a house, Leng doesn't know how to ask a housekeeper and a tent first, and the official dialect of the Central Plains, which is full of out-of-tune, makes people know his virtual and real origin as soon as they hear it. That is, the few dental managers who revolve around him are quite kind, and the servants and servants introduced only charge him eighty percent more wages, otherwise he would have been unable to find a place to cry with the maid's paper deed. Fortunately, although the wages of these domestic helpers are high, their skills are very good, at least the two cooks who are said to have worked in Du Kangju Restaurant are good, and the food produced is much higher than that of the inn.

There were no guests, so naturally he didn't want the host's family to accompany him, so Shang Cheng went straight back to the compound where he lived.

The layout of this courtyard is similar to that of Yanshan. On either side of the four wings lived a few personal guards; Three main rooms, the right bedroom and the left study, the middle hall casually put a large case and two chairs, not for use, but to keep the room from looking empty one by one Shang Cheng likes to think about associations when reading books, and likes to walk around when he thinks of excitement and excitement, this hall is specially left for him to turn around.

The study room is also similar to the small study room in Yanshan. It's just that he has only arrived in Beijing for a few days, and he has not had time to collect his favorite books, and he no longer deals with actual official business, so the four bookshelves on the east and west walls are now empty, and even a piece of paper cannot be seen. There are several boxes of books stacked on the big case, which are a set of ancient scrolls "Jia Zi" copied during the Tang Zhenguan period given to him by others in Fangzhou. There is also a brocade bag on the desk, which contains a book. This is a text that he thinks can be regarded as a good text when he was recuperating in Fangzhou, and he copied the historical word "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water". During that time, he held "Jia Zi" almost freely, especially "On the Passage of Qin", and he read it over and over again. He had read this article in the textbook I don't know how many times, but he was still a teenager at the time, and he only felt that the article was beautiful and neatly worded, and it was catchy to read, far from the deep feeling it is now. Looking at this article now, it is sharp and magnificent, magnificent, magnificent, and thought-provoking. That day, when he was reading a book, he thought about it and felt a shock, and he always felt that there was something blocked in his chest, and he couldn't even breathe, and finally there was this "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water".

Now, sitting behind the big case, he unfolded his calligraphy study again, carefully pondering it.

Yes, what he is looking at now is his own "work". No way, he thinks this should be his pinnacle. Even if he reads "On the Passage of Qin" in the future, and then asks him to brew and accumulate feelings repeatedly, even if he is asked to write hundreds or thousands of times again, he probably won't be able to reach the height of calligraphy that day......

Just when he carefully experienced and recalled the feelings of writing this historical poem at that time, Duan Si announced outside the door of the hall that a guest had come.

He thought it was Zhenqian and they had arrived, so he carefully put away the scroll and said, "You first beckon Lord Zhen and Master Xue to the main hall, and I will go over." ”

"It's not them."

"Oh, it's Chen Zhuguo who has arrived?" Shang Cheng immediately stood up and said, "I'll go meet her." As he spoke, he walked out of the house, and straightened his shirt with his hand. His friendship with Chen Pu is different from that of others; Chen Pu came to congratulate him, and he had to go out to greet him. He immediately saw Duan Si standing outside the threshold with a strange description on his face.

"It's not Chen Zhuguo." Duan Si said hesitantly, "It's the two surnamed Xu who left just now." He grinned, as if he felt that the rest of the words were really hard to say. In fact, he still thinks it's incredible, and hesitantly says, "They say, say...... said that Poyang Hou will be there soon......"

Shang Chengleng paused, and then sped up. Except for meeting him in the Prime Minister's Mansion a few months ago, he had never had any contact with Poyang Hou, and he was also wondering what Gu Shi was doing today. But in any case, when someone comes to the door today to congratulate him, he is his honored guest, and he will personally greet him to express his gratitude.

When he arrived at Yimen, Poyang Hou Gushi was already there, and the two Xu Guozi accompanied him left and right. There is also a young girl dressed as a gentleman beside Gu Shi, who is probably a relatively close junior.

Shang Cheng didn't remember Gu Shi's words all the way, and he couldn't remember Gu Shi's alias, let alone know where Gu Shi's hometown was, but fortunately, Gu Shi was also in the Shangzhu Kingdom, and it would never be wrong to call him a "general", so he just saw the figure of Poyang Hou from the Yimen Cave, so he greeted enthusiastically and loudly: "Heh, General Gu, why are you here too?" He temporarily changed the word "great general" to "old general", first, to show respect, and secondly, to show closeness.

Gu Shi had a smile on his face and said, "Today, the little girl came to visit her grandfather, and I will go out with me when I have nothing to do at home." I didn't know that when I got here, I heard that today was your housewarming day, so I took the liberty of coming over to ask for a bowl of water to drink. ”

Shang Cheng walked closer, and there were still six or seven steps away from Poyang Hou was a long salute: "The old general came to the door, I am here to shine, where is there anything presumptuous and not presumptuous?" Straightened up and bowed slightly to the two Xu Guozi. The two founders hurriedly returned the courtesy.

Gu Shi returned the half-salute, and said to Shang Cheng: "This is the little girl, and her nickname is Cicada." ”

Shang Chengcheng greeted with a smile: "Hello little cicada girl." ”

The youngest daughter of the Marquis of Poyang had probably listened to the instructions of the adults and was also prepared for Shang Cheng's appearance, so she did not show a look of fear, and generously bowed her hand to make a man's peer salute, and said crisply: "Brother Shang is good." Today, my father and I went out in a hurry, and I didn't know about my brother's housewarming today, so I didn't have time to prepare gifts for my brother for the time being, and I asked my brother to forgive me. This is a little careful, please take a look at it. As he spoke, he took out a dark blue clip from his sleeve pocket, held it in both hands and handed it to Shang Cheng.

Shang Cheng smiled and took the gift list, and said to Poyang Hou: "General Gu is polite. It's not an outsider, just come, what kind of gift do you bring? Then he said, "Please invite the old general to sit in the main hall." You've come at the right time, and I'm asking you a lot of things I don't understand militarily. He handed the gift list to Duan Si casually, and whispered, "Go, say hello to the stove room, General Gu Lao will come to the house as a guest, let them order carefully, and don't make those things that don't hang out to eat." Forget it all! You ask people to go to the best restaurants and restaurants in the vicinity, and hire their cooks to bring meat and vegetables directly over, and they will cook and eat with us at noon. ”

Duan Si lifted the clip and glanced down, and hummed softly like a mosquito: "Those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming." ”

Shang Cheng glared at him fiercely, turned his head with a happy smile on his face, and waved his hand to lead several guests to the main hall.
