Of course I do. This business tax is also a trap I dug for Gao Gong. But in front of Zhang Juzheng, the old fox. I'm still going to pretend to be tender. I'm going to want to get away with it, too. It's just that I'm not the same as him. My ideals and goals were beyond his imagination.

"Master Zhang. Now the emperor has raised me to be the head of the household. I think the high arch is in charge of the household department. I'm in a bad place. Please also ask Mr. Zhang for guidance. How will I get along with that high arch in the future?"

"Lord Lan. You don't have to worry about this. The emperor knew that you had a conflict and sent you to the household department. I think it means mixed with sand. You don't feel like you're willing to be with the high arch. The high arch is even more reluctant to see you. That's why the emperor did this. After all, there is no silver in the household now. The emperor was very disappointed. Now the emperor appreciates you. It's also an opportunity for you. The household department is also the most important department in my Ming Dynasty in addition to the official department. You're done. There is hope for him to join the cabinet in the future."

Master Zhang laughed. I'm not from a Jinshi background. It's not a civil servant on the right path. In the eyes of those who read. It's not just a martial artist. How can you enter the cabinet? Xia Guan has no extravagant expectations. I just want to be sent out to a province to be a governor."

"Lord Lan. Your goal is too low. How can you be a governor and be a cabinet minister. I think your target needs to be repositioned. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. It's human nature."

"Master Zhang. I'm not a real Jinshi background. It's hard to get on top. Now everywhere is ranked by seniority. Don't look at me as a household servant. If only it really went one step further. Those royal history and the like don't eat me yet. That is, Lord Zhang, you don't dislike me. I've always treated me like my own."

"Since ancient times, emperors and generals. How many start from recklessness. Didn't Taizu fall into the situation of begging for food back then. So don't be presumptuous. I'm optimistic about you. The question of your origins. The old man will figure it out in the future. Now we're falling out with the high arch. Afraid of being gossiped upon. Otherwise, the old man would have accepted you as a disciple a long time ago."

When I heard that Zhang Juzheng was going to accept me as a disciple. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. I knelt down first and said, "Thank you, teacher. The students do not forget the great kindness of the teacher."

Zhang Juzheng helped me up and said, "This can't be apprenticed yet. I'm just talking. I will consider finding a suitable occasion in the future. Let you apprentice. It's better to get rid of it now."

"Teacher. I know what you're concerned about. But we're just calling it that in private. When we go out, we still call by official titles. I don't know what the teacher thinks."

"Good. So be it. The old man also accepts you as a disciple. It's just that the old man really doesn't have time to teach you. You have time to make a list of the books you've read. I'll recommend you a few books that you haven't read."

"Thank you, teacher. Students must only look forward to the teacher in the future. Never fail to live up to the cultivation of teachers."

"Alright. We're welcome. Coming here in the future is like coming to home. I have one more thing to ask you. You are often in the palace. I'm familiar with Chen Jiu. Do you know that this Chen Jiu has been the supervisor of the East Factory?"

"Teacher Qiyu. Students know. One of the eunuchs came to the occasion today when he was preaching the decree. The affairs of the students in the palace have always been uninquired about and not mixed up. There are so many things going on in the palace. So the students are very attentive. I don't know what the teacher is asking about this."

"This is also a casual question from the old man. I've always been good with that Feng Bao Feng Gong bus. It's just that I don't know how he suddenly gave up the position of the factory supervisor of the East Factory this time. Very puzzling. I think you're in the palace that's why I'm asking you. See if you understand the matter."

"If only the teacher knew. I'll inquire when I go to the palace these days. It's just that I'm now a Tobe squire. I don't know if the emperor won't let me be the princess's master."

"You can ask about this when you have a chance. If you don't have a chance, forget it. Feng Bao is also very low-key these days. Generally not out. I didn't know about him so I asked."

Zhang Juzheng knows there. Feng Bao's ouster is the result of my behind-the-scenes operations. It's just the first time I've heard Zhang Juzheng say that he has a good relationship with that Feng Bao. It seems that the water on Zhang Juzheng's side is also very deep. And no wonder. The high arch looked down on the eunuchs. Of course, I won't go to Feng Bao. It can be seen from the reprimand of Chen Jiu from the Golden Palace today. Chen Jiu is a close minister. High arches don't save face. Not to mention Feng Bao.

I still don't understand what Zhang Juzheng meant by asking me to come here tonight. It's for me to see the sight of the door. Or let me inquire about Feng Bao's situation. Speaking of which, Zhang Ju is not talking about the point. I've been in office for a long time. It's all fine. My harvest is to worship Zhang Juzheng as a teacher. Zhang Juzheng is still in the officialdom academically. All have a lot of connections. So I became his student. No one dares to say that I am not from a Jinshi background. Not from a scholar's background. I can't be an official anymore.

I talked a lot with Zhang Juzheng. Look at the sky is not early. I just took my leave. Zhang Juzheng is my nominal teacher after all. We don't know, but we do. So he didn't send me either. Just sent the butler to take me to the door.

Return to Yuma Lane. Everyone hasn't slept yet. Because tomorrow is a good day for Boss Chen to get married. Chua as the bride. Of course can't stay here. Hiding in the new house and not coming out. The kids were happy. After all, there is a new dad. is still the boss of Chen who is together every day. Now I am well fed and warmly clothed. This is something they couldn't even think about before. Watch the children happily running around the house.

I asked Lao Liu, "Brother Liu. You're all set."

"The young master is all right. Rest assured. If you're tired, you should rest early."

"It's fine. I slept much better in the afternoon. But you've been worrying about it for so many days. It's hard work. Wait for tomorrow after Brother Chen gets married. You have a good rest for two days."

"Young Master. I'm not hard. It's not physical work or anything. It's you, young master. Worry about everything inside and out. It's really hard."

Boss Chen also said on the side: "Yes, young master. You're hard. Busy outside and busy at home. If it weren't for you, I would have started a family."

"You're welcome, everybody. Now that we're together. We are family. Your business is my business. My business is your business. In the future, we will give you a few more solutions if we have suitable ones. I can't do it alone. Especially Brother Liu. I should have looked for it."

Lao Liu said embarrassedly: "Young master, forget it. You see, the children are looking for a daughter-in-law. What else am I looking for? Old. Don't look for it. I'll serve the young master here for the rest of my life."

Just when everyone is chatting happily. I heard Chen Lao Er shouting in the backyard: "It's on fire. Hurry up and put out the fire."
