Ma Yunxin knew that her husband must be there to mock:

"Anyway, if there's anything wrong with what I'm doing, just say it."

Wang Hengyue said coldly: "You have an uncle, what is the name of the 'eighth master'?" ”

"Eighth Master?" Ma Yunxin thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized: "Yes, his name is Gui Shenguang, in fact, it is my uncle, and he is only a distant relative, and he is the eighth oldest in the family, so he is called Starling and Eighth Master." ”

"It's as simple as a distant uncle?"

"Actually, his house is very close to us." Ma Yunxin said honestly: "Back then, my grandfather was an official steward in Guangdong, and because my eighth uncle's family was also from Guangdong, he often moved around, and he became familiar with it after coming and going. I heard that he is coming to Sichuan recently."

Speaking of this, he suddenly seemed to understand something: "Shuzhi, did the eighth uncle make you angry?" ”

Wang Hengyue nodded and said what he encountered today.

When Ma Yunxin heard this, she also paused again and again: "I just came back from my father, and I also heard that many relatives are coming to join us, this, why is this happening?" ”

Wang Hengyue held Ma Yunxin's hand and let her sit beside him: "Yunxin, I'm not an unreasonable person, I don't have half of my relatives here except for your Ma family." Relatives are here, we take care of food and shelter, play with them, entangle them, even if they are raised for a lifetime, there is nothing, but there is only one, you can't go out to deceive in my name, this is not only bad for my reputation, but also bad for our reputation of [***]! ”

Speaking of this, he was a little annoyed: "Your eighth uncle is the governor of the prefect when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, and this matter will not be known in a few days, and it will definitely be known all over the city."

"Say, you dissipate your anger, we didn't do it right, I made amends for you on behalf of my eighth uncle." Ma Yunxin held her husband's hand tightly and said.

"It's none of your business, I shouldn't have taken my temper out on your head"

As she was talking, there was a knock at the door, and Ma Yunxin let go of her husband's hand: "Come in." ”

It was the housekeeper of the Ma family who came in: "Hello Overseer, hello Madame." The lord said that there are relatives in the house today, and if the Overseer and his wife are free, I wonder if they will be able to go home and have a meal. ”

Ma Yunxin was about to refuse, but Wang Hengyue suddenly said: "Okay, go tell my husband, we must arrive at night!" ”

The Ma family put up lanterns, firstly, to celebrate the return to their own Ma Mansion, and secondly, to come here for the first time after the Sichuan overseer Wang Hengyue returned to Chengdu.

As soon as they entered the door, Ma Chengde and his two sons hurriedly greeted him: "Shuzhi, Shuzhi, Lord Overseer, my good son-in-law, you are here!" ”

"Father-in-law, I've been waiting for a long time." Wang Hengyue said politely.

"Heng Shuai!" Later, Ma Weizhong and Ma Weiyi saluted together.

Wang Hengyue waved his hand: "In my own family, how can there be any Heng Shuai or not Heng Handsome, they are all a family!" ”

"Yes, yes, family, family." Ma Chengde said proudly: "Come, tell it, please inside." ”

took off the black coat and handed it to the adjutant, as soon as he entered, Wang Hengyue saw the "Eighth Master" at first sight, but he didn't recognize it: "Who is this?" ”

"The grass people return to the gentry to join the Overseer!" Before Ma Chengde introduced, Gui Shenguang had already knelt down and said respectfully.

Ma Chengde said with a smile: "Shuzhi, this is his own relative from Guangdong, in terms of seniority, he is your uncle." ”

"Oh, it's my uncle, please get up, please get up." Wang Hengyue hurriedly helped Gui Shenguang up, and helped him pat the dust on his clothes.

Ma Yunxin smiled bitterly, the more her husband did this, the more ugly it would be when he returned to the gentry

Sitting down at the wine table and pouring the wine, Wang Hengyue raised his glass first: "When did my uncle come?" Why don't you come to me? Yunxin and I are also filial piety. ”

Gui Shenguang suddenly felt that his face was bright, and he drank wine first:

"Lord Overseer, don't dare, don't dare, the grass people know that Lord Overseer is busy with official business, where do they dare to disturb easily? Today, I finally saw the Overseer, and I was fortunate to have three lives, and I was fortunate to have three lives. ”

Wang Hengyue smiled and said, "Uncle is too polite, just ask me to explain it, where to call the overseer." ”

Gui Shenguang became more and more proud, gave a thumbs up, and poured wine into Wang Hengyue's cup: "Shuzhi is really a hero, and there is no fight, the Ma family has a son-in-law like this, what more can the husband ask for." In this way, I salute you with this cup! ”

Wang Hengyue drank quietly, but Ma Weizhong and Ma Weiyi on the side were shocked.

Why is my cousin so ignorant? The word "Shuzhi", except for the closest people around Hengshuai, how can everyone call it? Besides, my cousin is just a distant relative?

Gui Shenguang didn't know at all, and he was proud. I just feel that I have such a nephew and son-in-law, and I really don't have to worry about anything.

"I don't know how long my uncle will stay in Sichuan?" Wang Hengyue suddenly asked.

Gui Shenguang was stunned, and Ma Chengde hurriedly helped: "Shuzhi, I invited you to come this time to discuss this matter with you." Shenguang is not doing well in Guangdong, you have become the overseer of Sichuan and the acting governor, so you want to come to Sichuan to find an errand."

"Oh, that's right." Wang Hengyue nodded, and thought there for a long time without speaking.

Gui Shenguang looked nervous, staring at Wang Hengyue without blinking, and it took a long time to hear Wang Hengyue say:

"In this way, how about I appoint you as the Daoyin of the Eight Counties?"

Gui Shenguang didn't know what kind of official "Dao Yin" was, Wang Hengyue explained: "This Dao Yin is subordinate to the provincial governor, and Dao Yin of the eight counties is the highest local administrator who manages the eight counties, what does my uncle think?" ”

Gui Shen Guang was overjoyed.

Originally, this time, what I said about "prefect and governor" was just bragging with my companions, and I would be satisfied if I could get a county magistrate, who would have thought that my nephew and son-in-law would actually give him eight counties!

Just as I was thinking about "thanks", I heard Wang Hengyue say unhurriedly: "I will write the appointment now, and I will prepare a carriage and coil for my uncle, and ask my uncle to take up his post in Guangdong." ”

"What?" Gui Shenguang was stunned: "Guangdong? ”

Ma Chengde only thought that Wang Hengyue was wrong: "Say, it's Sichuan, right?" ”

"Guangdong!" Wang Hengyue repeated these two words repeatedly: "My uncle is from Guangdong, of course he has to go to Guangdong to take office." ”

Gui Shenguang's mind was a little confused, Wang Hengyue was the overseer of Sichuan, how could he appoint Guangdong officials? Can the Guangdong Overseer buy his account? There he whispered:

"Say, I'm afraid that your appointment in Sichuan won't be able to go to Guangdong, right?"

"It's there, it's done." Wang Hengyue sneered and said: "Your military ticket in Guangdong can be used in Sichuan, why can't my appointment in Sichuan go to Guangdong?" Uncle! ”

As he spoke, he rushed outside and said, "Ye Bao'er, bring my uncle's things!" ”

As soon as Ye Bao'er walked in, Gui Shenguang was stupid at that time, didn't she see that handsome girl in the restaurant during the day?

Ye Bao'er smiled sarcastically at him, took out something and put it on the wine table: "Does Uncle still recognize this?" ”

Gui Shenguang looked at it, his face changed greatly, was it the Guangdong military ticket he used in the restaurant?

"Gui Shenguang, you are so bold!" Wang Hengyue suddenly roared angrily.

With a "plop", Gui Shenguang knelt down in fright.

"This, that's what it means" Ma Chengde was confused.

Ma Yunxin hurriedly pulled her father aside and whispered in a low voice, and Ma Chengde's face changed rapidly.

Looking at Ma Chengde who was kneeling on the ground, Wang Hengyue sneered again and again: "Okay, very good, my family is really talented, relying on my power, I haven't even seen my face, so I dare to fake the tiger and cheat with the invalid military ticket, if I really give you a Dao Yin, I'm afraid that the people there will be scavenged clean by you!" ”

Gui Shenguang trembled all over, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Wang Hengyue sat there with a grim expression:

"What talent do you have to dare to come to me to be an official? Even Yun Xin's two elder brothers climbed up step by step with merit, and the second uncle is still a lieutenant colonel. My Wang Hengyue has clear rewards and punishments, even if my own uncle is here, if you want to be an official, you have to rely on your own ability! ”

Half of what he said was for Gui Shenguang, and half for his father-in-law.

Wang Hengyue's tone softened slightly: "The money in the restaurant, I have already helped you to compensate twice, my family doesn't do good things, so I can only help wipe my ass!" But I can wipe this ass once, and let me wipe it every time, don't even think about it! Yun Xin! ”

Ma Yunxin walked over and put a large ocean on the table. Wang Hengyue nodded:

"These oceans, you take them back, do some small business, or go to ask a few more aunts and wives, it has nothing to do with me. Even if I do my filial piety for Yunxin, I will leave Chengdu and don't come to Sichuan again! ”

Gui Shenguang trembled and took the ocean, regardless of Ma Chengde's retention, and left the Ma family with his head in his hands.

The atmosphere was very embarrassing, and Ma Chengde was not standing or sitting.

Wang Hengyue's tone softened a little: "Father-in-law, there are rules for all personnel arrangements in the Overseer's Mansion, and no one else can interfere. Today, if it were someone else, I would definitely punish it severely, but this is your relative, and I will open the net. It's just that in the future, don't put people in my Overseer's Mansion again. ”

"En, en," Ma Chengde replied repeatedly.

"Sichuan is not completely settled." Wang Hengyue said in his words: "Yunnan, Guizhou, and Beiyang are all eyeing me in Sichuan, my head doesn't know if it will be tomorrow, if anyone treats himself as a relative of the emperor now, I'm afraid that my head will not settle without your head." ”

Ma Weizhong stood upright: "Heng Shuai, there will never be a next time for such a thing!" ”

Wang Hengyue stood up and asked the adjutant to bring the big coat:

"I remember today's words, eldest brother, second uncle, we are relatives, I need you to help me sit in this position, instead of deliberately trying to let me fall from this position!"
