Su Jingzhan answered yes and stepped aside.

Zhang Shijie said with a smile: "Most of the governors are not suspicious, which is really amazing." The nephew of the Su family is what I have seen since I was a child, and his character and knowledge are all first-class, and he originally planned to wait for the imperial court to open a department next year and gain another reputation, and now it is better to be appointed by the governor, congratulations to the governor for getting another talent. But don't forget, there are two people outside, I don't know what the Metropolitan Governor will do with Zhao Liangchun and Xu Daolong? ”

Cheng Yue smiled indifferently and said: "The two of them are loyal to their duties, and they should be rewarded if they have merit." I intend to ask the Empress Dowager to formally appoint them as road builders, to build roads, to increase their authority, and to punish officials who refuse to cooperate or deliberately obstruct them. ”

Zhang Shijie laughed, gave a thumbs up and said: "The Metropolitan Governor is really clever, now it is difficult for the two of them to find trouble for the Metropolitan Governor, but they are all involved in the, and there is no reason to shirk it." ”

The two talked and laughed happily, Su Liuyi and Zhang Shijie had a deep friendship, and unconsciously interjected a few words, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, not at all like the opponent who was still fighting against Fang Cai.

The time was not early, Cheng Yue left Zhang Gui, Totoku and Zhang Xiaozhong to receive the army, bid farewell to Su Liuyi, and left with Zhang Shijie. Zhang Shijie wanted to go to the military camp outside the city to find Sun Huchen, and soon said goodbye to Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue did not return home, and went straight to the Zhonghua Bookstore after entering the city. He gave Zhao Miaohui the big trouble of cloves, and he couldn't ignore it, he had to go and see it.

When Zhao Miaohui saw Lilac for the first time today, she understood Cheng Yue's good intentions. This woman, it doesn't take long to get along to know that she has a delicate heart. Brilliant at all. Be tactful. It's really not something that the group of little girls in Cheng Yue's family who don't know the sinister rivers and lakes can deal with.

Lilac also felt constrained in the face of Zhao Miaohui. This is the first female official of the Great Song Dynasty, only she can be comparable to her in appearance, and the rest of her intelligence, experience, and reaction are all inferior, and she has no way to show her best flattery. For now, only by working hard can I win her favor. In this way, when Cheng Yue asks, she can be expected to praise herself in front of Cheng Yue, so that she can have a place in Cheng Yue's mind and not make Cheng Yue annoyed.

Lilac can't act arbitrarily in the bookstore. She couldn't get into the places where it was confidential, such as where the ink was mixed and the words were cast. In order to avoid suspicion, she didn't dare to ask to go in and have a look.

The work assigned to her by Zhao Miaohui is very complicated, reviewing, arranging, proofreading, typesetting, I don't know if I don't do it, there are so many mysteries in it. Lilac is really interested in doing it, after all, this work is very fulfilling, and the article handled by a woman should be seen by many students and people, which is much more interesting than giving people singing and dancing before.

When Cheng Yue arrived, Ding Xiang was in Zhao Miaohui's office holding an article written by Cheng Yue about the necessity of protecting animals. She never thought it would grow this big. The survival of those poisonous snakes and beasts is actually related to the life and death of people, and Cheng Yue's knowledge is really impressive.

Cheng Yue knocked on the door and came in. Zhao Miaohui and Lilac hurriedly got up and saluted.

Cheng Yue took Lilac's hand lovingly and smiled at Zhao Miaohui: "Lilac came here on the first day, didn't cause you trouble?" ”

Zhao Miaohui's heart swelled with warmth, Cheng Yue seemed to be here to care about Lilac, but in fact he was here to care about her, and replied with a smile: "The little lady Lilac is smart and has taken on a lot of work for the concubine, and the concubine has benefited a lot, thank you to the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Lilac was also smiling, turned her head to look at Cheng Yue's smiling face, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Cheng Yue's eyes on Zhao Miaohui are different from those of other women, more precisely, they are very similar to the eyes he looks at other concubines, and they are definitely not looking at the eyes that a subordinate should have. Could it be that there was an adulterous affair between the two of them? Or does Cheng Yue have a covetous heart for Zhao Miaohui?

Lilac had to admit that Zhao Miaohui was an extremely beautiful woman, and it was strange that Cheng Yue didn't take a fancy to her. Then, Cheng Yue insisted on coming here by himself, and it was very likely that he could use the excuse of visiting himself to see Zhao Miaohui! So that's it!

After figuring out Cheng Yue's thoughts, Lilac couldn't help but glance at Zhao Miaohui in a depressed mood, she was beautiful, she could sing and dance, all men had always tried all kinds of ways to get close to her, trying to get her favor, and then she hid her in the golden house, not wanting to be seen by others again, never thought that she would also be used as a stepping stone by others one day, and she lost to the married and motherly woman in front of her.

Lilac did guess part of Cheng Yue's thoughts. Because Zhao Miaohui is busy with work, it is difficult for Cheng Yue to come to visit her at any time if she does not have a new excuse. Sending Lilac here, and he came to visit Lilac again, became the best excuse for Cheng Yue to come here.

Lilac pretended to be moved and lied to Cheng Yue for a while, and Cheng Yue also cooperated with her for a while. The two put on an affectionate look, you come and go, Lang is a concubine, and they fight hard to act, colliding with countless sparks of performance. The sincerity of the feelings on their faces was so sincere that even they almost believed it.

Zhao Miaohui was amazed from the sidelines, and admired both of them, anyway, she couldn't act, the difficulty was too high, and her skills were amazing.

After Cheng Yue and Ding Xiang finished their acting skills, they turned around and told Zhao Miaohui about Su Liuyi, the most important thing is that Su Jingzhan has been sent to Shanghai to help Meng Zhijin. Zhao Miaohui couldn't help but be overjoyed, and thanked Cheng Yue again and again, thanking him for caring about her husband's body.

At this time, it was almost evening, and Cheng Yue went home with them, this time he did not ride a carriage with Lilac, but rode a horse to follow him. I was a little tired from the play just now, so I have to take a break to recover my mood, otherwise I will really fall in love with the heroine.

The news of Cheng Yue's victory over Su Liu Yi without a fight has spread all over the streets and alleys. Some say that the Metropolitan Governor promised good conditions, some say that Su Liuyi took the overall situation into account, and some people say that the Metropolitan Governor mobilized the army and forced Su Liuyi to surrender. Only one thing can be certain, except for the Imperial Forest Army, there is no army in Lin'an that is not under Cheng Yue's control.

When the palace received the news, Xie Daoqing just sighed and ignored it again. Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong quietly discussed in the Liufu for a long time, and they didn't even participate in their henchmen.

The next day, Cheng Yue's recital was handed into the palace, requesting that Su Jingyou, the second son of Su Liuyi, be accompanied by Su Liuyi, and then take Zhao Liangchun and Xu Daolong as the left and right road builders, specializing in building roads to the south.

Xie Daoqing was on the right track, Su Liuyi, Zhao Liangchun, and Xu Daolong expressed their gratitude, and the court shook again, and Cheng Yue's wrist impressed Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong, and they felt even more threatened.

Zhao Liangchun and Xu Dao Longming have risen to the ranks, but they are full of bitterness. Cheng Yue did this, it was clear that he had seen through their hands and feet, if they dared to do anything to arouse Cheng Yue's dissatisfaction, then both of them would definitely die. In the future, I can only honestly pick up my tail and repair the road, all for the sake of serving the court.

Su Liuyi returned home after thanking him, and the officials who came to the door to say goodbye came one after another. Although Su Liuyi was not promoted this time, his second son went to the palace to study with him, and his eldest son went to Shanghai, which Cheng Yue attaches the most importance to, to be an official, all of which show that Su Liuyi has been recruited by Cheng Yue. Su Liuyi is still young, both civil and military, Cheng Yue will go around to conquer in the future, and he will definitely be used. More important is his two sons.

Cheng Yue has already made it very clear to his face that as long as Su Jingzhan competes, promotion is just around the corner. And Su Jingyou, who is less than seven years old, enters the palace to study, which is equivalent to becoming Cheng Yue's student, the future is ambitious, and he is still above Su Jingzhan, the future development of the Su family is unlimited, of course, we have to take advantage of the present to make some connections.

Su Liuyi was a blessing in disguise, full of friends, and he didn't know how many times the scenery was more beautiful than before, which made him feel very emotional.

At night, the visiting people gradually dispersed, and Su Liuyi came to the back house to see Su Jingzhan with tired steps.

Su Jingzhan was packing his luggage in his room, in the past, these chores were done by the servants at home, but this time he just wanted to come by himself. He just went to visit Yang Ting and came back, and was deeply impressed by Yang Ting's talent, and enthusiastically wanted to go to Shanghai as soon as possible to make some achievements, and in the future, he could also raise his eyebrows and marry a woman better than cloves.

Su Liuyi saw that Su Jingzhan was personally tidying up, and nodded with relief. Su Jingzhan has never done housework when he is so old, this is really the first time that he can have such determination and change, and he will not be so worried when he goes to Shanghai.

When Su Jingzhan saw his father come to the room, he knew that he was reluctant to give up, and his eyes were red, and he said, "Father, after the son leaves, my father should take care of himself." ”

Su Liuyi pretended to be relaxed and said: "It should be that I'm worried about you, why did you remember to pack your luggage by yourself?" No one pays attention to you before you leave? ”

Su Jingzhan said with a smile: "Father, don't look down on people, my son has to tidy up by himself today." He said that a man who can live well by taking care of others is not a man, and a man must be able to take care of himself and take care of others. I was very ashamed to be taught a lesson, and I was about to go to Shanghai, so I couldn't bring someone to wait with me to make people laugh. Lord Yang said that if he couldn't do it, he wouldn't ask others to do it, and he decided to be a man like Lord Yang from now on. ”

Su Liuyi took a deep breath, was very grateful in his heart, and said, "I have heard for a long time that Lord Yang is talented, and he really deserves his reputation. There are many talented people under the Metropolitan Governor, you have to work harder, don't weaken the name of the Su family. ”

Su Jingzhan said: "Don't be surprised by my father, in fact, these are all words that the Metropolitan Governor said, and Lord Yang is just repeating it." I was afraid that my father would not understand the governor of the capital, so he said this. (To be continued......)
