said that in the Tailai Inn, Xu Yan and Chen Maoli were playing against themselves.

Xu Yan is black, Chen Maoli is white. The killing of the two is in full swing, and it is difficult to inseparate.

"Brother Shixian, you are so wild in chess!"

Xu Yan smiled slyly: "Each other." ”

After that, he settled down and broke off Chen Maoli's contact.

Chen Maoli gasped when he saw this: "Brother Shi Xian is as cruel as this!" ”

"Ahem, it's okay."

Although Xu Yan is playing chess, it is very practical, and the general idea is to constantly lead the situation into chaos to earn profits.

Although Chen Maoli's chess skills are good, in general, he is too disciplined, and it is easy to parry Xu Yan's reckless play.

Sure enough, as he entered the mid-game, Xu Yan's advantage became bigger and bigger, and Chen Maoli was tired of coping.

Chen Maoli shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The foolish brother abandoned his son and admitted defeat." ”

Xu Yan punched the master to death, and his heart was naturally happy.

"Brother Qing will be fined three glasses of wine."

"It's nature."

Chen Maoli poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his neck and drank it all. Then he drank two more glasses in a row, facing Xu Yan.

I have to say that Chen Maoli's alcohol consumption is really not good, and his stomach is already flushed after only three glasses.

"Brother Shixian, let's have another game!"

Chen Maoli was about to pick up his son, but when he saw Shuangxi hurriedly running over, he said to Xu Yan: "Young master, someone from the yamen has come, saying that he wants to see you." ”

Xu Yan couldn't help frowning.

At this time, it is too bad for people to come to the yamen.

"Brother Xuqing, wait a moment, I'll go and see."

Chen Maoli nodded: "No hurry." ”

Xu Yan got up, straightened his robe and pushed the door out, greeted by two familiar faces.

Sure enough, it's the same two brothers who came last time!

"Brother He, right, I don't know what you are doing when you come to Xu?"

This fat servant is so conspicuous that Xu Yan can't remember it!

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. Xu Xiaoxiang is really upset. It's the lord of the mansion who has a life, please go to the mansion quickly. ”

Xu Yan keenly noticed the change in the way He was called.

The first two times when He came to the mission, he called him Xiao Langjun at most, but this time he changed his name to Xianggong.

You must know that Xianggong was another name for Xiucai in the Ming Dynasty, and ordinary people can't afford it.

Isn't it that the results of the government test have come out?

No, even if Xu Yan passes the government test, there is still a level of the hospital test waiting for him. Although the Ningbo Prefecture Examination is likely to be presided over by the Ma Governor's Mansion due to the special reason that Zhejiang has not mentioned the school official for the time being, it still has to be taken once. Could it be that this errand officer has such a vicious vision, and he has already seen that the Ma Governor's Mansion wants to guarantee him a talent and fame?

Xu Yan only felt that the clouds and mountains were covered with fog for a while!

"That's the case, and let Xu change his clothes."

Xu Yan was wearing regular clothes, and since he was going to see Governor Ma, he naturally had to change into a better silk shirt.

He was anxious to jump to his feet: "Xu Xiaoxianggong don't care about this, it's only serious to go to see the eldest master quickly." ”

That's too abnormal, isn't it? Even if Governor Ma wants to see him, there is no need to be so urgent, right?

"Okay, then Xu will go to see Fuzun."

Xu Yan went back to the house and informed Shuangxi and Chen Maoli before turning around and returning, followed by the two officials.

It is also strange to say that on the way from Chengxian Street to the mansion, Xu Yan hardly saw anyone.

You must know that the Japanese have looted and left, and Ningbo Mansion has long returned to normal life.

It shouldn't be such a bleak scene!

After a short time, they had already come to the front of the mansion, and He took the lead to say something to the person guarding the gate, and then turned back and lowered his voice and said to Xu Yan: "After a while, Xu Xiaoxianggong must remember not to move around, and follow He Mou closely." ”

"Brother He, don't worry."

No matter how you look at this atmosphere today, it is strange, Xu Yan is really a little curious about what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Ma Zhifu!

However, he said that he followed the two officials into the palace, and did not go straight to the back office as usual, but came to the second hall.

The lobby is a place where cases are heard publicly, while the second hall is relatively secluded and suitable for handling some important official business.

The moment Xu Yan came to the front of the second hall, he finally realized.

I saw more than a dozen wrestlers dressed in flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives across their waists standing in front of the hall.

It's actually Jinyiwei!

Needless to say, what Jinyiwei represents, it seems that it must be someone from the palace!

And his keen intuition told him that the prefect of Ma sent someone to find him, and I was afraid that it had something to do with the matter of offering auspicious rui!

Xu Yan's heart was overturned and agitated.

"Xu Xiaoxianggong, please."

He Ya served to bring people to the task to be completed naturally, but the next thing was not accessible to people of his status.

"There is labor!"

Xu Yan took a deep breath, shook his robe, straightened the square scarf, and then mustered up the courage to step into the hall.

To Xu Yan's surprise, he didn't see the imaginary big man after entering the hall.

Just when he was puzzled, a middle-aged man wearing a brown and blue cardigan shirt and holding a feather fan walked out from behind the screen.

He didn't know this person, but judging by his temperament, he was definitely not an idle person.

"Xu Gongzi is finally here."

"You know me?"

"It's not Tan Lun, it's Ma Fuzun's staff. I was fortunate enough to meet Xu Gongzi, but unfortunately Xu Gongzi didn't see me. ”

Tan Lun said lightly: "Young Master Xu, wait here for a while, Dong Weng is entertaining the envoy in the back office." ”

I have to say that this Tan Lun's intuitive impression on Xu Yan is very good, and compared to Zhao Xianling's master, it is much worse.

Xu Yan really didn't guess wrong, it was someone from the palace!

"The envoy is waiting for someone?"

"Yes, I thought that Zhao County's order would come soon, but now I have to wait another hour. The envoy was a little impatient, so Dong Weng accompanied him to relax in the back office. ”

Xu Yan said in his heart, this envoy is also a person who will enjoy it. As far as the garden built by the prefect of Ma is concerned, I am afraid that it is better than many gardens in Jingshi.

Since the envoy was waiting for Zhao County's order, and contacted the Ma Governor's Mansion and found himself, Xu Yan had already affirmed that this matter was related to Jin Xianxiangrui.

The time is about the same, and it is exactly a round trip from Beijing to Hangzhou.

It seems that Emperor Jiajing was very satisfied with this white turtle, and specially ordered people to come to Ningbo to preach the decree and praise the people who offered auspicious rui and so on.

This is basically consistent with Xu Yan's judgment of Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing is very happy in his bones, although he doesn't say it on the face, he very much hopes that his courtiers can praise his achievements. Those who contradict him basically end miserably.

But Emperor Jiajing wants to save face the most, and he can tout it but not too directly.

It is not easy for such a person to serve well.

It's a pity that I came in too much of a hurry, I knew that I was waiting for it, so Xu Yan had to change to a more glamorous outfit.
