Wan Yan Jing agreed to Ye Qing's request, which made Ye Qing, who was in Lin'an, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief because of the water situation of the Yellow River, at least no longer like these days, from time to time I would dream that the Yellow River suddenly burst more than ten places, and the surging flood ravaged the entire Shandong Road and Nanjing Road, making the original yellow earth become a yellow ocean, and there were dense, all kinds of corpses of different ages floating on the water surface, under the scorching sun, the rotten gas was rushing to the sky, and mosquitoes and flies were piled up.

Seeing that Ye Qing had been preoccupied since he came back from not returning home two days ago, he finally became cheerful and relaxed today, and Bai Chun was also happy, plus what happened in the Red Mansion last night, Bai Chun was too lazy to investigate, where did Ye Daguan go on the night when he didn't return at night.

Of course, there is no need for Ye Qing to say, she can guess where the Ye officials went that day.

"It seems that Wan Yan Jing is still quite affectionate and righteous, and he actually repays his grievances with virtue ......." Bai Chun looked at Ye Qing and said lightly after reading Yan Yongji's letter.

"Pull it down, it's strange that the little bastard can have good intentions. He did this because from his point of view, it was also profitable, so he agreed so happily. Ye Qing interrupted Bai Chun's words, looked at the Red Mansion where the eldest girl finally became a little daughter-in-law, put down the teacup and walked out again.

The Red Mansion was still a little shy, especially in front of Bai Chun, so at this time, Ye Qing ignored the Red Mansion who left in a hurry after glancing at him affectionately, but continued to say to Bai Chun: "Wan Yan Jing naturally hopes that one day he can recapture the Northland Fourth Road, so he will lend me so happily and generously." And he doesn't need to pay the silver, it's just two officials, this matter will be done by anyone, after all, in Wan Yanjing's opinion, this is equivalent to my Great Song Dynasty court spending a lot of money to help them repair the river embankment of the Jin Kingdom, how could he be unwilling! ”

"It's just that you think people are so insidious." Although Bai Chun was like a mirror in his heart, he was still unconvinced.

took the letter in Bai Chun's hand, read it again, pointed to the two names on it and said to Bai Chun: "Tian Li, Wang Rujia, tell Dong Chao to see if these two people are really officials of the Ministry of Industry of Jin, and whether they have other identity backgrounds, don't lead the wolf into the room at that time, it will really be a big joke." ”

Bai Chun nodded while silently remembering the two names, and then lit a candle beside him, watching Ye Qing burn the letter of Yan Yongji to ashes.

After all, this is a correspondence with King Wei Shao of the Jin Kingdom, and no one knows if it is known to others, whether they will attack and impeach Ye Qing in the court.

When the Red Mansion reappeared in the study, Bai Chun happened to be about to go out, and hurriedly glanced at the invitation card in the hand of the Red Mansion, and the handwriting on it still made her curious instantly.

"Whose invitation?" Bai Chun asked curiously.

"It's a lady named Tang Wan, who sent someone to give it to Gongzi." Red Mansion smiled and quickly handed the invitation card in his hand to Bai Chun.

Even if his identity has changed now, in the face of Bai Chun, the performance of the Red Mansion is still so well-behaved and cautious, and the traces of the maid over the years are still very heavy.

Holding the hand of the Red Mansion and sitting down beside him, ignoring the words of Ye Daguan's mouth against peeping into other people's privacy, the Red Mansion accompanied Bai Chun to sit down and said: "It is the princess of the county of the king of Xin'an County, who had a relationship with the prince many years ago, and then accidentally made the son complete a beautiful marriage, so the princess of this county wants to thank the prince for coming." ”

"So weird? I don't choose another time, but I choose to thank you at this time? Bai Chun frowned, and asked with a pair of eyes with the meaning of interrogation.

Someone sighed helplessly, no matter if he had a little connection with that woman now, Bai Chun would think that he seemed to have a dirty relationship with that woman.

"If that's what I expected...... At this time, the king of Xin'an handed me an invitation, I am afraid that it is related to the fact that King Qing, who had just changed his title a few days ago, was appointed as the pastor of Yangzhou and the Huainan Army. Fools can figure it out, King Qing didn't know the others very well not long after he returned to Lin'an, and he took the initiative to recommend himself to Huainan East Road, so no matter what, at this delicate time, he needed an intermediary to introduce me to his real acquaintance. Ye Qing raised his feet and put them on the desk, deliberately emphasizing the four words of true understanding.

Bai Chun was going to ask Ye Qing what he was going to do, but looking at Ye Qing's hanging and light clouds, which was in stark contrast to the sad appearance of the past few days, he thought about it again, Zhong Qing would help him analyze this kind of thing, so he stopped talking, patted the hand of the Red Mansion, and then the two women walked out of the study hand in hand.

As the two girls walked out of the study, Ye Qing picked up the invitation card that should have been written by Tang Wan herself, and invited herself to go to the palace of the king of Xin'an County tomorrow evening to thank him for his kindness in the beginning, but other than that, he did not mention anything else.

A person who has nothing to do at home has nothing to do, and he invited the maid who was brought back from Shi Miyuan's painting boat, and asked Shi Miyuan where he is now, so frightened that the two maids were discolored, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

Looking at the two nervous maids, Ye Qing smiled and didn't embarrass others anymore, and walked to the royal street with Mo Xiaobao.

When Zuo Yu and his left foot came out of the apricot orchard on the second day, Mo Xiaobao told him, and about the next actions of the guard division and the front division of the palace, Ye Qing did not plan to get involved for the time being, but just asked Mo Xiaobao to tell the two of them to be careful in everything, and in the end, it should be the prince first.

"In this way, Zuo Yu and Left Foot are at least in Lin'an, and they are at the same level as you, ...... the Imperial City Division." Mo Xiaobao walked on the street side by side with Ye Qing, and now such a leisure time is also rare for them.

"If you feel majestic, you can exchange with them, it's best to bring the bell silkworm, and then the two of you will be the front division of the palace and the commander of the guard department, how about letting the two of them lead the army of planting flowers?" Ye Qing smiled and said.

Mo Xiaobao obviously would not agree to Ye Qing's proposal, the flower family army can be said to have been strengthened by him and Zhong Silkworm, looking at the five thousand kinds of flower family army now, Mo Xiaobao felt that it was more important than his own life, how could he be willing to exchange with the two brothers Zuo Yu.

"What has happened to Han Yanxuan lately?" Ye Qing, who was wandering on the street, looked around at the bustling flow of people and the shops on both sides, and asked Mo Xiaobao next to him.

Mo Xiaobao, who was holding a string of sugar gourds in his hand, replied while chewing the sugar gourd in his mouth: "There is no movement, Madame's Xu Qing and Zhong Silkworm have been sent in the past two days, because Brother Zuo Yu has been sent in front of the palace and the two guards have been dispatched, and they will protect Madame at all times." But it's ...... Shi Miyuan has been making small moves behind his back. ”

"What can he do, he promised to give me evidence of Wang Huai's bribery within three days, and there is no shadow of it so far, so let's just go to his mansion." Ye Qing stood in the bustling crowd and said with the scorching sun above his head.

"He may have contacted Zhu Xi, who has not appeared in Lin'an for a long time, but he doesn't know what he wants to do with this move." Mo Xiaobao nodded, agreed with Ye Qing to go to Shi Miyuan's mansion and said: "Zhu Xi has always had a grudge against you, no matter what, you also arrested him at the beginning, and Zhao Bingwen, the prefect of Haizhou, was overwhelmed by Zhu Xi's scolding, so he chose to die, it seems that he wants to be unfavorable to you." ”

"The literati are too pedantic, and the wind festival is so important, so it's better not to be an official, if you are an official...... In this world, no one can satisfy the whole world, how can there be a perfect person, like him Zhu Xi, doesn't he also live against gossip? Even if it is the Confucian saint he admires, the so-called conclusion that people die and cover the coffin, there is no conclusion until now, and now he still hates him and looks down on him very much, respects him, and can't wait to offer him as his own ancestor? Therefore, no one is perfect, and the official ...... There is no such thing as good or bad. Zhao Bingwen wanted too much, wanted to keep his reputation, and didn't want to lose his hard-earned wealth, so in the end, he simply hanged himself, and death was great, as for the name behind him, he also wanted to use this way, one is out of sight, and the other is to win sympathy and save some reputation. Ye Qing strolled through the alley and said with a sigh.

"This official ...... Is there really no such thing as good or bad? But I think you're very good, for the sake of the Song court, and for the sake of the people of Beidi ...... 4th Road. Mo Xiaobao's eyes began to say with adoration again.

"That's because you and I are on the same page, that's why I think so. Not to mention anything else, if you look at it from the perspective of the imperial court, I am afraid that I should have sat through the prison of the Song court a long time ago. Ye Qing smiled and flicked Mo Xiaobao's head.

Although Mo Xiaobao is no longer the handsome boy he was at the beginning, some actions between the two still maintain this sense of intimacy.

Rubbing his forehead as usual, Mo Xiaobao said hehehe: "It's really true after you say this, although what you have done, including the starting point, is good, but in the eyes of the court, these are all things that are rebellious, contrary to the law, and the way of the courtiers, and want to kill the head." ”

"So, you say I'm a good official, and even the people of the north say I'm a good official, but what about the people of Lin'an? Naturally, they will scold me Ye Qing for eating inside and out, turning his elbow out, the traitor of the Great Song Dynasty, and so on. But what...... After all, not everyone can look at the problem from the same height as you, and there are so many frogs and ignorance at the bottom of the well that you can't make everyone understand you. So since you've decided to do it, just stick to it, right or wrong, let time test it, and leave it to future generations to judge. Ye Qing looked at the magnificent vermilion gate of Shi Miyuan's mansion, the three words of Guogong Mansion shone brightly, and even the gatehouse looked superior.

The carriages and sedan chairs listed at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and the officials who came in and out, were either thinking heavily and hurrying away with their heads bowed, or they were in groups of threes and twos, talking about something in a whisper, or complaining and explaining to their companions. It seems that they know that they are afraid that they did not get what they want here in Shi Miyuan on this trip to Shi Miyuan, so they began to discuss the next countermeasures before they completely walked out of the mansion.

Standing at the door of the Guogong Mansion for a while, it was difficult for Ye Qing to see an official who came out of the Shi family with a smile, although he didn't know these people, it didn't mean that with his Ye Qing's eyes, he couldn't see that these people were officials of the Great Song Dynasty.

The porter looked at the two people not far away, with a relaxed expression and a smile on his face, pointing at their Guogong Mansion from time to time, and instantly a feeling of displeasure rose in his heart, what kind of place is this? How can they point fingers, whisper, and criticize the government here!

Walking in a majestic square step, he slowly paced to Ye Qing and Mo Xiaobao, looked Ye Qing and Mo Xiaobao up and down with an arrogant expression, and then said arrogantly: "If you come to visit Shi Gongzi, you will go to the name post first, if you are an idle person, you can leave this place quickly, and see clearly, this is the Guogong Mansion, not a place where you can stay at will." ”

Ye Qing looked at the concierge with a proud and disdainful expression, smiled silently, and then Mo Xiaobao next to him saluted and said, "My lord is the ...... of Huainan East Road." ”

"Go, go, go." Mo Xiaobao just said the four words of Huainan East Road, and the porter was like being hit by a switch, and began to drive people impatiently: "I'm sorry for the two adults, Shi Gongzi has explained, people along the way can visit him, but only you on Huainan East Road, Shi Gongzi won't even see him, so please go back." ”

After finishing speaking, the porter began to push Ye Qing and Mo Xiaobao to the side, so as not to get in the way of others' carriages and sedan chairs.

"My surname is Ye, my name is Ye Qing, what if your family is interested? It's enough for you to go and say it, and he'll be ....... Ye Qing hurriedly dragged Mo Xiaobao, who was about to fight with the porter, back, and said to the porter with a smile in his mouth.

"No matter what your surname is or what your name is, my son-in-law will not receive you, hurry up and leave, if you offend my son-in-law, will you bear the consequences?" The porter arrogantly stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Qing and Mo Xiaobao and reprimanded.

Mo Xiaobao still wanted to come forward to theorize, but he was still stopped by Ye Qing, who had a good temper, and at this moment, a sedan chair slowly stopped at the door of Shi Miyuan's mansion, and the porter glanced at the two people who had been driven to the side by him and were no longer blocking the door, and after reprimanding a few words again, he walked towards the sedan chair.

"My lord, isn't he too arrogant, shouldn't he be taught a lesson?" Mo Xiaobao was a little angry, looking at the person who was still taking square steps, with a dignified and impersonal demeanor to stop the person who got off the sedan chair and said.

"The wealthy nobles are all like this, and it's not the concierge's fault, he put in a person who Shi Miyuan didn't want to deal with, and it was he who would suffer when the time came. And as the porter in Shi Miyuan's mansion, at the end of this day, there are more than a thousand people to be sent, and I am afraid there are hundreds of people, and there are often people like you and me who want to get through the trick, so he naturally will not persuade him with a pleasant face. Because he couldn't persuade him, with the accumulated experience, he also knew that a friendly and pleasant refusal would only make others kick their noses in the face, thinking that they were easy to talk to, but they would be more entangled and not leave at the door. So this is the duty of the porter, we should understand each other, so why should we not bother with him? If you really want to be angry, then just take Shi Miyuan to be angry, after all, the rules are set by him, and the porter is innocent, isn't it? Ye Qing said with a generous smile.

Just like some people in later generations, after going to the consumption place, they immediately felt that they had become the object of service, then everything should be taken for granted, and they suddenly became arrogant, and if they were not satisfied or satisfied, they would scold the personnel in the service industry, and even add fists and kicks.

In fact, sometimes I want to say, so capable, don't rush to the service staff, to the boss of the service staff to make your ability, don't be cowardly, just do it.
