Zhang Neishi knew that Dong Guoxiang was coming during this time, so he explained to the doorman, and if the new Guoxiang came, he would report to him immediately.

When the doorman reported to Zhang Neishi that Dong Guoxiang was coming, Zhang Neishi brought the main officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion to greet him.

Dong Guoxiang has never been an official, and he is a little uncomfortable. But he still accepted the warm reception of Zhang Neishi and got to know each other with several key officials.

After a brief acquaintance, Zhang Neishi took Dong Guoxiang to the backyard of the palace of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and gave Dong Guoxiang the small courtyard where Zheng used to live.

"Dong Guoxiang, this is the place where you are arranged. The house is a little old, it was Zheng Guoxiang who lived at that time, if you think it is not suitable, when the Prime Minister's Mansion has money, help you rebuild a small courtyard. Zhang Neishi accompanied Dong Guoxiang to look at the small courtyard and said.

Where is the old courtyard? It may not have been built for three or four years from the outside, and the inside is like a new house, Zhang Neishi said this, probably politely.

In Ah Zhu's eyes, this place is much better than their Dong family compound.

Dong Guoxiang didn't understand for a while, this Zhang Neishi said that he wanted to build a small courtyard for him again, was it a joke, or was it his true idea? If it's true, is the Prime Minister's Mansion so rich? Say that if you build a small courtyard, you will build a small courtyard? This small courtyard needs a lot of money.

Dong Guoxiang didn't say anything, didn't say yes or no. He thought to himself, if you say it casually, and you respond seriously, what will others think of you? If what he Zhang Neishi said was true, when the time really came to build it, he would definitely have to ask him for instructions, and if he wanted it then, didn't he have the final say?

Dong Guoxiang only looked at this small courtyard. This is really a beautiful courtyard, a gentle wind, wafting out of the fragrance of the garden, a trace, blowing people's hearts are so comfortable. The poplars and weeping willows at the door, the lilacs and begonias in the courtyard also look vibrant. The breeze flows among the green leaves, and the fragrance of flowers wafts quietly under the eaves. Everything is cosy and peaceful; Stay here and enjoy the faint fragrance and moist refreshment of the wind......

This small courtyard, just the three of them live, is really a waste. What about those extra rooms?

Dong Guoxiang was thinking about wasting things, and Zhang Neishi introduced it. He pointed to the big room on the left and right and said, "This big room is where you live, and the one over there is where Mrs. Dong lives...... Mrs. Dong will be there later, right? ”

Dong Guoxiang didn't plan to ask Mrs. Dong to come, so he explained: "Mrs. is an old woman, she doesn't want to come and can't come, it's just the three of us." It's a waste for you to build such a small courtyard. Is there anything smaller, enough for the three of us? ”

"How? You are the Minister of State, the Minister of State of my Dahan Jiangdu Country, if you live in the cold, come to a friend or something, don't laugh at the poverty of our Jiangdu Country? If you want to live somewhere else, I agree, our king will not agree, and the people of Jiangdu will not agree! ”

That's also, you are the minister of the country, live in a small house, and you will meet more people in the future, and they will come to see you, and there is not even a place to drink tea, which is unreasonable.

Speaking of the king, Dong Guoxiang has a topic: "The king is at home, right?" You arrange a time for the next two days, and I need to meet the king. ”

"The king is not at home, I don't know about this. The imperial court stipulates that the king does not participate in politics now, and he rarely comes to the prime minister's office. I'll take a look tomorrow and make an appointment to meet. ”

Zhang Neishi knew that the king was at home. But the king revealed that he did not want to see the new minister.

When the king heard that the emperor had sent Dong Zhongshu to Jiangdu to be the prime minister, the king Liu Fei was angry. What does your emperor mean, send a university to ask someone to my Jiangdu country, is he afraid that I will rebel and come to correct me? Okay, you sent a great doctor, and he is a Confucian master, what do I think he is capable of? How do I see how he corrects me? I don't see you, I ignore you, what do you use to correct it?

The king Liu Fei thought so, it was impossible for Zhang Neishi to tell Dong Guoxiang that the king was at home.

The shrewd Zhang Neishi opened the topic and didn't talk about the king Liu Fei.

"I thought you brought your sister-in-law and wife. If you bring your sister-in-law, you will naturally bring your own maids. It seems that you didn't bring your maid with you either. In this way, I will look for it in the past two days and find a good maid to take care of this small courtyard. ”

Zhang Neishi said that when he was taking care of this small courtyard, he looked at Dong Guoxiang.

Dong Guoxiang understands that there is a small courtyard, and I am afraid that the maid will take care of him Dong Guoxiang.

He can't ask for it. Where three big men live, how inconvenient is it to have one more woman? What's more, when I came out, my wife had an explanation, and she had to keep herself clean.

Dong Guoxiang wanted to clarify his point of view: "The two big men I brought, one Lu Bushu and my student, a young doctor, took care of my official business; One is Azhu, who is my groom and my husband's bodyguard...... The maid doesn't want it, thank you. ”

"Don't want anything, anyway, I'll help you find it these days, and I'll send it if I find the right one. You are a great minister, how can you do without a woman to serve you? Zhang Neishi said very resolutely, as if he had to give Dong Guoxiang a maid.

Dong Guoxiang didn't want to argue with Zhang Neishi about the issue of the maid now, so send Zhang Neishi away first, so they could sort out their belongings.

"Well, you go and get busy with yours, let's sort it out first. You see the mess in the car. Dong Guoxiang pointed to the things on the carriage.

Actually, Zhang Neishi also wanted to leave. Zhang Neishi was going to report to the king, and Dong Guoxiang came. Zhang Neishi understood Dong Guoxiang very well, so he said: "I'll call some people to help you tidy up, and I'll send someone to call you during dinner, and you will pick up the wind and wash the dust." ”

Zhang Neishi left the small courtyard after speaking. After that, he ran to the palace without stopping, and went to see the king.

As soon as Zhang Neishi saw the king, he became excited: "King, Dong Zhongshu is here." ”

Zhang Neishi almost ran to the palace of the king Liu Fei, and he wanted to report to the king.

The king Liu Fei was playing chess with Mrs. Chen, and he was playing vigorously, when he was startled by Zhang Neishi who suddenly rushed over. The king was very angry: "What are you doing, when a new minister comes to the country, he panics into this virtue, and when he comes, he will come." ”

"King, Prime Minister Dong wants me to make an appointment to meet you, what should I do?"

Zhang Neishi told Dong Guoxiang that the current king does not participate in politics, and many vassal states are like this. However, Jiangdu is different, Liu Fei has been the king for more than 20 years, and almost all of the officials of the Prime Minister's Office have worked under him, although they are appointed by the imperial court, but it has become a habit to listen to him. This is not Zhang Neishi, and he unnaturally came to report the situation to the king Liu Fei.

Speaking of Dong Zhongshu, the king Liu Fei still put down the chess pieces in his hand and thought about what to do.

"What should I do?" The king Liu Fei asked himself, thinking while asking, "Just say that I went out hunting." ”

Zhang Neishi felt that King Liu Fei's method was not a solution: "King, isn't it impossible for you to see it." But you can't always be gone, can you? Why don't you join in the reception for him later? ”

The king felt that Zhang Neishi was right, it was impossible not to see Dong Zhongshu all the time.

However, Dong Zhongshu is so educated, and his king Liu Fei is most afraid of contact with cultured people, which is annoying. What's more, he is a guy who hasn't peeped into the garden for three years, he Liu has to temper his perseverance with Dong Zhongshu, he will definitely not be able to grind him, it is better not to see him.

"Zhang Neishi, Mrs. Chen, you two listen well, find a way to get Dong Zhongshu away before I meet him."

After some thought, King Liu Fei thought of such a way to drive people away.
