When Sun Jue woke up, he only felt that his head was a little heavy, his nose was blocked and he couldn't breathe, and his throat and eyes were dry.

He was already a little greedy for cups, and in the past two years in Xuzhou, he was even more hollowed out by wine. Cao Hao's old wine was poured down, and Sun Jue couldn't stand it.

He pulled on his shoes and sat on the edge of the kang, looking at the room where he lived.

The place is not big, the north side is half of the kang, and there is a table of eight immortals under the south window, on which there are several plates of dried and fresh fruits. Leaning against the west wall, there are high and low cabinets with copper mirrors on them and basin stands next to them. The curtain on this kang is made of clean fine blue cloth, and the quilt on the kang is decorated with a snow-white hood, which looks very clean.

Sun Jue looked around, and his face became more and more ugly.

Outside the window was the voice of the innkeeper responding to the guests, confirming that this was as he guessed, it was an inn, and Sun Jue's face was so dark.

"Qilu, Qilu ......" Sun Jue was anxious in his heart, and raised his voice to arouse his little servant.

Last night, he drank so happily, in addition to being addicted to alcohol, it was more deliberate. He thought that with his relationship with Cao Hao, after he was drunk, he would naturally be taken back to Cao's Mansion for resettlement.

He is Cao Hao's brother-in-law and cousin, so isn't it right for Cao Hao to pick up the wind and wash the dust for himself, and to settle himself?

He really didn't expect that Cao Hao would be so rude and send him to the inn to settle down.

He stood up, his face blushing, wondering where something had gone wrong.

"Master ......" Qilu heard Sun Jue's movement, came in from the door, and said respectfully: "Lord?" Is it clean now? The small ones make people ask for hot water from the kitchen! ”

Sun Jue rubbed his temples and said, "How did the master come back yesterday?" Tell me about it. ”

"It was the eldest uncle who instructed the man, and the manga hired a carriage to send the master over. settled the ten silver coins on the counter, and pressed ten taels of silver, saying that he was preparing to order food for the master, so that ......" Qilu replied.

"Master Man? Cao Xiaoman? What kind of master is he, but he is a house slave with a surname! When Sun Jue heard this, he couldn't help but scoff.

Cao Hao sent him to the inn, which was a bit of a slack, but the arrangements after that were also comprehensive, and it was difficult to pick out any courtesy.

Sun Jue thought for a while and said, "Call water, go out to call a car, and go back to the house to see the two masters in a while." These two little cubs know that they will return to Beijing, and they don't know how to come and say goodbye! ”

After saying this, he himself believed it, and became more and more straightforward.

Qilu didn't go down immediately, and said, "Master, the two young masters came over early in the morning and waited outside." ”

When Sun Jue heard this, he didn't thank his sons for their filial piety, but cursed in his heart.

When he went out of the room, he found that the room was a small suite, with a bedroom inside and a small hall outside.

There were two teenagers standing by the chair, it was his eldest son Sun Li, the second Sun Sun Chu.

"The son greets his father." Seeing him come out, the two brothers stepped forward and said in unison.

Sun Jue's gaze skimmed over the second son and fell directly on the eldest son's head. But I haven't seen him for two years, and the half-grown boy back then has jumped taller than him, who is an old man.

Sun Jue snorted coldly, walked to the main seat and sat down, laid out his father's score, and asked a few words of homework.

Rao is Sun Li replied carefully, Sun Jue also picked out a few nos, and scolded with his nose and eyes, only then did he feel more refreshed.

He originally wanted to use the excuse of seeing his son to go back to his grandson's house to find his wife to exchange for the silver of the running official, but now that his son has arrived, he still refuses to give up, frowning and saying: "In a blink of an eye, your brother is also older, and he is still not the same." is such a mess, there is no place to beg for food in the future! Your mother is an ignorant woman, how can she teach her children well? You're okay, it's not the same, and the family will take care of it more, how can the big girl be good? No, I have to go see her. Good girl, it's all broken! ”

In and out of these words, it is all Cao Ying's.

Sun Li was indignant in his heart, and said lightly: "Back to my father's words, my sister asked my grandmother to take it over a while ago. said that he learned the rules with his fourth aunt and fifth aunt, and he came home in the next year. ”

When Sun Jue heard this, his face was blue and white for a while, and he was so annoyed that he couldn't do it, but because of Cao Hao, he didn't dare to tear his face with Cao Ying.

Along with his son's homely thoughts, he waved his hand impatiently and sent the two little ones out.

It wasn't until he got out of the house that Sun Chu exhaled and whispered, "Big brother, my father is really afraid of people." Looking at my father's appearance, it looks like he wants to beat us! ”

Sun Lizhi felt that his heart was like numbness, he studied at the Jingshan Official School for two years, and opened his eyes, and he knew what "all mouths are gold" and what "people's words are terrible".

Although his father signed the document of dividing the property and living separately the year before last, as long as he still lives with his mother, his father has an excuse and reason to return to his grandson's house.

If the mother does not allow it, in the eyes of outsiders, it is the mother who is not.

Who makes this society harsh on women, especially for married women.

It's in the middle of the month, and there will be half a month before the New Year. My father went to Beijing at this time, why did he return to Xuzhou or Suzhou before the year?

This year, I'm afraid it will go by without stopping...... * Cao Hao knew when he went back last night that his own arrangements could only stabilize Sun Jue for a few days.

In the past few days, Sun Jue still can't give up his face, and he has scruples; After a while, if you find that he can't get what he wants, I'm afraid he won't be embarrassed.

If Cao Ying's mother and son were not taken into account, Cao Hao really wanted to make someone beat Sun Jue with a stick and sell him to a small coal kiln in Xishan.

Although Sun Jue is not as scheming as Li Ding and Li Cheng's uncles and nephews, he is hypocritical and pretentious, and he is even more disgusting to be a bitch and set up an archway.

But if Sun Jue is let go, Cao Ying can't stand it and doesn't say anything, and it also delays Sun Li's preparation.

But he thought about it, but he couldn't think of a proper way to deal with Sun Jue. You can't kill it, you can't keep it, it's really a crooked person.

Early this morning, before going to the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, Cao Hao went to look for Wei Hei.

"Can you think of a way to restrain Sun Jue, let him settle down for two months, and wait for the Sun family to come and take him back to Suzhou. can't make too much noise yet, so as not to affect Sun Li's future. Cao Hao said to Wei Hei.

Wei Hei thought for a while and said, "What can contain people, except for gambling, is the scoop." Tempting him to gamble, he doesn't look like a person who knows the severity, if he really loses, he will still make up his mind to the big girl; The only thing left is the scoop, and with Sun Jue's guard, this should be extremely easy. ”

The idea is very immoral, but as long as it works.

During the Chinese New Year, Cao Hao didn't want to make the family have a bad New Year because of Sun Jue.

Although there is an old saying, it is called "persuasion and not persuasion", but at this time, Cao Hao still hopes that Cao Ying and Sun Jue can keep their distance, so that if there is any instability in the Sun family in the future, it will be less implicated in her.

Sun Wencheng is different from Li Xu, he has always been cautious, but even so, this weaving position will not be stable. It was a rich yamen, and Yongzheng naturally wanted to take it back and reward Conglong's henchmen.

"He is shy in his pocket, and even if he has the heart and courage, he may not have the money to scoop. So that the silver hired two fans to go to the inn to play, so that he could not take care of the busy side. Cao Hao pondered for a moment and said.

Wei Hei nodded, also agreeing with this method.

Cao Hao handed over the matter to Wei Hei and paced out by himself.

There are seven more days to be the new year, and Qin Tianjian has already announced the "seal" of the yamen in the capital this year, the twenty-first day of the lunar month.

Today is the sixteenth day of the lunar month, and in five days, I will start my annual leave, and my time is a little tight.

It is necessary to count the number of acres of land in each province, estimate the proportion of mountainous dry land in each province from the tax records, and then check the agricultural and rainy weather tables in various places to conclude the approximate crop cycle and estimate the approximate local temperature.

Although the task given to him by Yongzheng is to promote it nationwide, but to implement it in practice, it is not a sentence or a will that can be completed. It is necessary to select a local pilot project in each province, and it is not yet possible to encroach on fertile land.

When he arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, the two of his subordinates had already arrived.

Cao Hao said that he had already made a simple assignment of the errands that needed to be queried.

As the chief officer, he will not bow down to everything, and he will be tired half to death. In that case, the efficiency is low, and it also hinders the opportunity for subordinates to be promoted through meritorious service, which arouses the resentment of the people below. It's so thankless, how could Cao Hao do that?

"My lord, the humble post has been arranged last night, three pen posts, two scribes, to ensure that within three days, complete the adult's instructions. It's just that the days are short now, and the yamen has fallen early, and the lowly position may have to take a few of them to add some more in the yamen. Look, my lord, ......"

Cao Hao nodded and said, "You make a list, and I'll go to greet Lord Tongtian." ”

Na Langzhong was already ready, and after listening to Cao Hao, he took out the origami from his cuffs and gave it to Cao Hao with both hands: "My lord, it's just a few of them." Although these people are not eye-catching, they handle official affairs carefully, and they are all people who have not made a mistake in two or three years. ”

Cao Hao nodded and said, "You are proper, and the person you pick is naturally not wrong." ”

This Lang Zhong surnamed Jiang, in his sixties, has been up and down in the household department for more than 20 years, although the official promotion is slow, but the most stable act. Cao Hao handed over all the cumbersome data statistics to him, and he valued him.

Jiang Langzhong was praised by Cao Hao, a little pleased, and a little embarrassed, and said humbly: "I don't dare to be an adult's praise." It's just that I'm getting older, I've seen more, and I've got a plan in my heart. ”

Another Lang Zhong surnamed Hai endured the discomfort in his heart and said, "My lord, I have something to tell you about my humble position." ”

He is in his thirties, and he is considered to be a relatively outstanding errand officer among the officials of the church, and he looks down on Jiang Langzhong for "relying on the old and selling the old".

Cao Hao looked at him. He said, "But Qin Tianjian won't let you check their barometer?" Why? ”

Hai Langzhong nodded, let out a long breath, and said, "They said that those files involve the secrets of the imperial court, and they are easily not displayed to the outside world, unless there is a holy decree." ”

Before that, he took the bill issued by the household department and went directly to Qin Tianjian to check the relevant documents on agricultural affairs. As a result, a soft nail was hit.

Cao Hao listened and said, "If they have such rules, they will obey them." It was my negligence to let you run for nothing, and I will ask for a decree in a moment. ”

When Hai Langzhong heard this, his heart was quite touched. If you are someone else, you don't take care of the errands assigned by the officials, and I am afraid that being scolded will be light, and it will affect the future.

Unexpectedly, Cao Hao not only didn't blame him. also calmly admitted that it was his own negligence......* Hearing his son come back to tell about the conversation with Sun Jue when he went to ask for peace, Cao Ying hung his heart.

She didn't expect her husband for a long time, but she didn't dare to be too decisive, because she was afraid that her son would be difficult to do in the clan when he grew up.

She was waiting for Sun Jue to come over to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, in the past three or five days, Sun Jue has not moved.

Cao Ying didn't know the bottom in her heart, afraid that he would think of a bad way to deal with her mother and son, so she asked the housekeeper Xu Sheng to go to the inn to investigate. The news of getting it back made Cao Ying's heart feel like she had turned over a five-flavor bottle, and she didn't know whether she was happy or annoyed.

It turned out that the reason why Sun Jue couldn't pull away was because a widowed young woman who was stranded in the capital due to illness lived in that inn.

The little widow somehow received Sun Jue's help, so she recognized Sun Jue as her godbrother, and now the two are going back and forth......
