In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, Hou Mingyu was grounded by his father again, and now he is "accusing" his father of falling into the well with his colleagues.

Hou Houcong sat down and sipped tea, but he didn't answer, and let his son have a loud voice. The wife heard the movement and rushed over, and when she saw the father and son with opposite roles, she wanted to laugh at her husband and felt sorry for her son, so she couldn't cry or laugh.

Hou Mingyu roared a few words and quieted down, his eyes kept staring at the teacup in his father's hand, and he didn't know how many times he had fallen. I couldn't help but think, "Maybe Daddy really can't do it." ”

However, even so, it can't stop him from disappearing from Chen, if he does this, he won't be mixed up in the future.

Under the soft persuasion of his mother, Hou Mingyu sat down angrily, turned his back to his face, and said: "Anyway, if you still want that bloodstone and that bamboo inkstone, don't stop me......"

Then there was the sound of the cup breaking.

The paper couldn't contain the fire, even if Chen Ji had taken every precaution and once blocked the contact between the Chen family and the outside world for various reasons, the news still spread in a small range. Coupled with the state of Chen Ji itself, in some places he didn't care about, it was too strange. fell into the hearts of others, and it was inevitable that there would be some suspicions.

Chen Wenxuan came over first, and after three or two sentences, the other party took out the identity of her sister, Chen Ji covered up a few words, failed to withstand Chen Wenxuan's silent tears, and made a premise that she would not say anything outside, and probably said everything that could be said briefly.

Chen Wenxuan's heart sank, Chen Ji was at a loss, and wanted to comfort a few words, but he also felt that the words in the world were extremely pale. Chen Wenxuan, who was waiting, was a little more stable before he spoke: "Sister Xuan, don't worry, I'm thinking about inquiring about the news." Now there is no news, in fact, it is good news in another sense, at least Dad has not reached that point of no return. ”

Chen Wenxuan looked over, her eyes were red, she forced herself to press the anxiety in her heart, and nodded. Now the situation of the Chen family, big and small things have fallen on Chen Ji, as the eldest sister, she can't do anything for a while, and she can only try not to let Chen Ji be distracted by the family and worry about herself. I just wanted to say something, but my lips moved, and I couldn't say a word in the end.

Chen Ji scratched his head and grinned. Chen Wenxuan stretched out her hand distressedly and touched Chen Ji's face.

"We're at home."

Chen Ji nodded, "I know." ”

……

The world is confusing, and time is also a share. The willows on both sides of the moat are gradually withering, and after a few drizzling rains, this troubled summer has also come to an end. The closed four gates of Qingzhou were reopened, and the pedestrians were in a hurry, and in the midst of the bustle, the pain of the previous few months gradually covered up. The bloody wind of the upper officialdom, that is, a few yellowed notices at the gate of the city, except for queuing up to pass the time when entering the city, or someone going over to take a few looks, at ordinary times, that is, studious and refreshing, intentionally or unintentionally passing over to stir up a moment.

After being able to eat a full meal, the people at the bottom only care about whether they can eat enough for the next meal. On a larger level, such as how many high-ranking officials have been arrested, I just heard the sigh of "Oh, that's it". Except for some really good deeds, and scolding a sentence or two, it is also a thing that outweighs the loss.

The official documents of the Shandong Provincial Government Department were sent to the prefectures in September, stamped with the prefect's seal, and then sent to the counties. It's finally time to unveil the aftermath of this disaster relief.

Chen Ji's painstaking door finally opened a crack, and he saw Fang Jingyu.

Fang Jingyu recently received an errand, and for a while he became a "celebrity" in Qingzhou City, and he got the permission of the old man to "accept the money or not, you can do it yourself", and it is not easy not to be busy. The reason why the old man did this, he wanted him to be familiar with the officialdom of Qingzhou in advance, and he felt a little bit like he would take the lead in the future as the chief soldier of the Denglai Water Division. Fang Jingyu only felt a headache, which was much harder than hunting in the ice and snow outside the gate. The human heart is ghostly, nothing else.

Therefore, after I don't know how many twists and turns, Chen Ji appeared in front of Fang Jingyu with great difficulty, and when they met again, Fang Jingyu's first sentence was still cold: "Is silver easy to use?"

Chen Ji said sincerely: "At least in front of General Fang's door, it's really not good." However, now in addition to making silver, Chen Ji really doesn't know what else to do! ”

"For this opportunity to see me, it is really worth spending tens of thousands of taels of silver? Besides, even if you come to me, will I tell you something you want to know? ”

Chen Ji smiled bitterly: "You have to fight for it."

Fang Jingyu sighed: "Please go back, what you want to know, I just don't know."

Chen Ji had to get up, but he really said goodbye.

Fang Jingyu took a few steps, and suddenly shouted again: "How much silver are you going to make?"

Chen Ji came back to his senses, "It depends on how much silver you need." ”

Fang Jingyu looked at the solemnity in his eyes on the house, and nodded for a while: "If you have a chance, look for Xu Ge Lao."

Chen Ji replied: "Thank you, General Fang."

Fang Jingyu sighed, turned around and entered the house. His sense of Chen Ji is not too bad, but the old prince has all kinds of plans in front of him, and he does not dare to make extraneous branches. Anyway, it's for people to be sons, and it's a matter of course to work hard.

When I visited Lao Guogong in the past, I also talked about this matter.

The old man asked: "Find an opportunity to find out the wind, and say that the imperial court wants to build a water division to see if he is willing to worry about the country and the people, and contribute to the country."

Fang Jingyu was sitting next to him, and when he heard this, he laughed: "In private, he is really fighting the idea of this water master, but it is the little son of Zhan Guogong who comes forward to do things."

The old man was interested, "What's the saying here?" ”

Fang Jingyu explained: "I probably want to use the Denglai Sailor to open up the trade routes of Beiyang." There is no detailed investigation into the news. ”

The old man didn't say anything more, lay down in a rocking chair, and said softly: "The pond is messed up enough, it's time for you to make a move next."

Fang Jingyu got up and respectfully said "yes".

The old man saw that he wanted to stop talking, and then said: "The old man will not kill Chen Xiujie, and naturally he will not specifically target his son. However, it is not a good thing for a young man to go too fast, and this time he should be taught to know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. In addition, since he was interested in the Denglai Water Master, the old man finally agreed. Before that, let him appreciate that there are people outside of people. Of course, if you can't get through, the old man won't lose money in the end. ”

The implication is that as long as you pass this level, there will be a smooth road ahead.

Fang Jingyu nodded and said, "I know."

The old man smiled, "You also have a snack, and I want you to come to this pit, but it's not to play anything out of the mud." ”

Fang Jingyu was embarrassed, "I'm used to being upright, I really can't do it." ”

The old man snorted: "Follow along."

Fang Jingyu sighed, miserable.
