Full of wine and food, most of the relatives and friends dispersed, Shen Qing, whose faces were flushed, and Wan Yulin, who had a normal face, sat together and chatted about their daily routines.

"Brother Wan! Gui'er can have today, all thanks to the help of Brother Wan at the beginning, this kindness, the little brother can't pay it off in this life! Shen Qing said with emotion, if Wan Yulin hadn't helped him at the beginning, there would have been a good thing for his son to be a big official now.

Wan Yulin smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Brother Xian, don't say this again in the future, the virtuous nephew can do this today, it depends on his own ability, and the little thing he did for his brother is really insignificant!" ”

Shen Qing smiled, but he was no longer modest, as Brother Wan said, most of the time when his son can become such a big official, he still relies on his own ability: "Brother Wan, it's not easy for Gui'er to come back once, and the marriage with Jia Yi has been delayed for so long, the younger brother wants to take this opportunity to do the marriage with them!" I don't know what Brother Wan thinks! ”

Wan Yulin has long been impatient for marriage, after all, there is no name, maybe there will be twists and turns again, such a good uncle, it is difficult to find in the world! "The sixth day of the new year is good, what do you think!"

"Okay, of course, the sooner the better, don't hide it from my brother, but my younger brother has been in a hurry to hold his grandson?" Shen Qing's face was full of smiles, and then he said a little embarrassedly: "It's just that Gui'er, this kid is disobedient, and this time he brought back three women, I'm afraid that I will have to be wronged by my niece in the matter of getting married!" ”

Wan Yulin smiled heartily, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Jia Yi and them are also in love, she won't mind, besides, Chongming and virtuous nephews are busy with errands, and it won't be lonely if there are a few people to accompany them!" "In Wan Yulin's opinion, which capable man is not a third wife and four concubines, and more importantly, his daughter is married by their Shen family, and the position of this wife will definitely not be able to run.

"That's good, that's good!" Seeing that Wan Yulin didn't mind this matter, Shen Qing was really relieved, he was very happy that Shen Chongming could open up branches for the Shen family as soon as possible?

In the backyard, Yu Jinglun, who had been thinking about himself, saw that there was no one around, and couldn't wait to pull Shen Shi to hide in the corner: "Madam, should you come down!" "It's about your own future, so you can't be in a hurry.

If it was the original, he would be satisfied with the position of the general judge, but the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, and he has just passed the year of his establishment to be the general judgment of the sixth grade, and the room for improvement is still quite large.

In addition, watching his brother-in-law mix in the court, he was envious in his heart, since this kid made a career, his status has plummeted, not only to be respectful to his father-in-law, but even the family has to be worshiped like a god, this kind of undignified life is really not what he thinks.

Shen Shi looked embarrassed: "Xianggong, Gui'er said that the court is deep, and the greeting of the officials will not be called for you, otherwise it will hurt you, and I only promise to intercede for you when I go back to Beijing and pass through Hangzhou to visit Guo Bu's political envoy!" ”

Yu Jinglun was stunned, and his face instantly turned ugly. Although Guo Mingyi, the Zhejiang political secretary, can also help, but the officials in charge of the ministry are promoted, and his words may not really work, originally thought that as long as Shen Chongming went to the ministry to speak for himself, this promotion would be a certainty, but now that he said these words, he fell to the ground in his heart, and he still had his brother-in-law who was very kind to him.

Thinking about it, Yu Jinglun secretly hated in his heart, this ungrateful thing, if he hadn't arranged him into the national prison back then, where would he be today.

After taking a few breaths of air, Yu Jinglun's face was still black and scary, but he was a little scared in Shen's eyes, for fear that his father-in-law would have an awkward quarrel with his younger brother because of this matter.

She thinks highly of Yu Jinglun, with Shen Chongming's status today, she doesn't dare to fight with him with Yu Jinglun's eight guts, so she saw that Yu Jinglun's face slowly returned to normal after calming down, and smiled at Shen Shiqiang: "Hehe, it's okay, the court situation is indeed not something we can grasp, maybe Guigui really has difficulties!" ”

Seeing him like this, Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but still persuaded: "Xianggong, you are your noble brother-in-law after all, how can he ignore your affairs, if you have a chance in the future, the concubine will come to him again!" ”

"Well, thank you, ma'am!" Yu Jinglun said with joy on his face, and his heart lit up, even if you Shen Chongming is ungrateful, but this sister whose blood is thicker than water can't deny it! I don't believe you'll care about it once.

The husband and wife returned home in two small sedan chairs, and when the door saw it, they trotted up to greet them: "Master, the prefect's entourage has been waiting in front of the door for a long time!" ”

Without waiting for the prefect to speak, the prefect who was waiting in the gatehouse ran out when he heard the sound of talking outside, and walked a few steps forward to bow and said, "Villain Wei Zhen, meet Lord Yu!" ”

This person is very familiar with Yu Jinglun, he is a close confidant of the prefect Wei Shengjing, he is arrogant on weekdays, and ordinary yamen officials don't pay attention to it at all, and he doesn't need to ask about his intentions Yu Jinglun knows, he must have heard that his brother-in-law has gone home, and Wei Zhifu thinks about it?

"Hehe, this official just came back from going to his father-in-law's house for a banquet, and Brother Wei has been waiting for a long time!" Yu Jinglun smiled slightly.

Wei Zhen hurriedly put on a smiling face: "The adult is polite, the little one has just arrived, this time I came here on the order of my family, please ask the adult to do me a favor!" ”

"Hehe, it's easy to say, let's talk inside!" Yu Jinglun made a gesture of invitation and said, Wei Zhen hurriedly waved his hand: "The villain won't bother too much, Lord Yu, my family heard that Lord Shen has returned to Shaoxing, and he is the glory of our Shaoxing Mansion, so I want to set up a banquet for Lord Shen to catch the wind and wash the dust, and I can take the opportunity to let the officials of our Shaoxing Mansion know Lord Shen, but I have no choice but not to know Lord Shen, so this matter can only be annoyed by you, please be sure to agree!" ”

"That's it!" Yu Jinglun pretended to suddenly realize, and said with a smile: "Hehe, how can I bother Brother Wei to go to the trifle in person, send someone to send a message to the official, and ask Brother Wei to go back and tell Lord Wei, this matter is handed over to the official!" ”

Wei Zhen was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Yu!" "Hehe, you're polite, but please also ask Lord Wei to see clearly, my wife and brother are busy with errands, when they are free, and the official is not sure as a brother-in-law!" Yu Jinglun didn't dare to boast about such a thing, in case that bastard brother-in-law didn't give himself face, he would lose face at both ends.

"Don't worry, my lord also knows this, when will this banquet be set up by Lord Shen!" Wei Zhen hurriedly said.

Yu Jinglun nodded: "That's good, then the official will go to his father-in-law's house early tomorrow morning to ask, and tell Lord Wei as soon as there is news!" ”

"My lord, Lord Chen has arrived!" Brother Erdan knocked on the door and said, Shen Chongming, who was tired of being with Zhao Ziqian, hurriedly got up: "Ziqian, I'll go back when I go!" ”

originally thought that he would be able to wait for Chen Xiao in Hangzhou, but he never thought that he would come at this time, and Shen Chongming couldn't help but worry in his heart, for fear that something would happen to the demon crown prince in Henan.

However, when he saw Chen Xiao in the front hall, Shen Chongming breathed a sigh of relief, this guy's face was as usual, and the clothes on his body were spotless, which showed that Shaoxing had found a place to stay.

"Chen Xiao, why are you here!" Shen Chongming asked very puzzled, Chen Xiao smiled helplessly: "My lord, don't you know, the lowly post waited for the new Qincha in Ningling, but I don't know what the imperial court thinks, the person who came turned out to be an editor of the Hanlin Academy, his eyes were black, and he didn't understand anything, so he could only stay for a few more days and explain the matter to him in detail!" ”

Shen Chongming smiled, at this time, Xu Jie still refused to give up easily, he could also use such a trick, fortunately, the next thing was relatively simple, as long as this person had the name of self-knowledge and did not change his layout indiscriminately, the completion before the beginning of spring was still guaranteed.

"Chen Xiao, after so many days, you can rest in Shaoxing for a few days, and then go to Hangzhou in a few days!" Shen Chongming waved his hand to sit him down, and ordered: "Although there are still no clues about the things that are not taught now, we can't relax, as long as we grasp it tightly, we can still find some clues!" ”

Chen Xiao nodded, and said with a smile: "My lord, rest assured, arrangements have been made when he passed by Hangzhou, although Huang Wanli is missing, but most of the people who had a close relationship with him in the past are here, and if Wuwei wants to succeed, this money is indispensable, according to the humble opinion, they will definitely use means or lure or force those rich businessmen to take refuge in them!" ”

"Well, that's reasonable, now we have no clues about Wuwei teaching, we can only rely on analysis to figure out their next moves, in addition to these rich businessmen to monitor, you want to catch small fish, as long as they move, it is inevitable to leave flaws, let's be careful, we can always find clues!" Shen Chongming looked at Chen Xiao and instructed him to leave such a thing to him, and he was very relieved.

Chen Xiao smiled and clapped his ass: "My lord, I have been taught!" "Hehe, don't say this, but you have to remember one thing, you can only monitor without conclusive evidence, and you must not be in a hurry, so as not to catch the wrong person and be used by Wuwei to cause public resentment!"

"Yes, the lowly position is recorded!" Chen Xiao nodded and said, then got up and said: "My lord, then I will go back to the post station first, if you have anything, just send someone to tell the lower officials!" ”

"Okay, it's been hard all the way, hurry back and rest!" Shen Chongming got up and sent Chen Xiao outside the gate.

Watching Chen Xiao go away, without waiting for Shen Chongming to turn around, he saw a small sedan chair coming from the other side, and stopped in front of the door, and Yu Jinglun walked down with a smile on his face.

"Is there something wrong with my brother-in-law?" It didn't take long for him to leave, and it was impossible for this guy to come back.

"Hehe, Chongming! Brother-in-law, I was entrusted by the prefect and wanted to invite you and the adults of Jinyiwei to a banquet, I don't know when you will have time! Yu Jinglun asked cautiously. Although he told Wei Zhen that he would come to the mansion tomorrow to ask, the prefect attached great importance to this matter, so he couldn't help but care.

"Go to the feast!" Shen Chongming frowned, what he hated the most was these things: "Brother-in-law, see if you can push it, the little brother finally came back once, and he still wants to accompany his father and mother more at home?" ”

"It's not good, Chongming!" Yu Jinglun looked embarrassed: "Lord Wei is also a good intention, and he even summoned officials from the government to go together, if you don't go, I'm afraid it will hurt his face, you also know, brother-in-law I am on an errand in the yamen, but you don't go, it's difficult for your brother-in-law to be caught in the middle!" ”

Shen Chongming smiled helplessly, so he could only nod and say, "Okay!" How about tomorrow night! "When it comes to this, I can only come down, otherwise my brother-in-law will hate himself to death.

"Okay, then tomorrow night, my brother-in-law won't go in, so I'll go and reply to Lord Wei!" Yu Jinglun said with joy on his face, this is his own face!
