"Grandpa, Grandpa! Do you think I look good in this new dress? ”

"Grandpa, I have prepared all the gifts when I am going to visit the guests."

"Grandpa, do I play this pipa well?"

The young daughter is still babbling, but the other three daughters are some about to get married, some are still drooping, and some are still ignorant...... However, there are not a few concubines and maids around him who have the appearance of a suitable man, but they can't give birth to a son, and now that the first Shuzhou Sihu has joined the army, Yang Xuanyan has no intention of continuing to work hard, and even his eagerness for his career has faded a lot. At this moment, he nodded in approval of the eldest daughter Yuqing's preparation, and absentmindedly perfunctory Yuyao, but the next moment, he beckoned to call Yunu in front of him.

"Yunu, how long have you been learning pipa from Du Mingfu?"

"It's been almost a year!" Yu Nu stretched out his pink and tender fingers and pinched it, and then showed a bright smile, "Master said, Yu Nu is attentive and talented, and the pipa must play better than him!" Grandpa, did you play the song chūn Jiang Hua Yueyue night just now? The master said that this is the most haode song I played......"

Listening to the little girl babbling about how Du Shiyi praised her and how she instructed her, there was admiration between the lines, if it weren't for Shuzhou, which is just a stone's throw away from Yizhou, knowing how this young Chengdu Ling was a good means of combining grace and power, knowing how Du Shiyi grasped the initiative step by step, Zuihou even squeezed away the top boss like Yizhou Governor Shi Fan Chengming, Yang Xuanyan would simply think that the master in Yunu's mouth and Du Shiyi are two completely different people. Knowing that the child would not understand so many entanglements on the way to officialdom, he just absentmindedly patted the little girl on the shoulder twice.

"You'll be seven years old after the New Year. Learn more from your sister, don't run away......"

Before he finished speaking, he felt that the corner of his clothes was suddenly grabbed by someone. Looking down and seeing Yu Nu with his little head up, his face was full of confusion and incomprehension, his heart softened, but in the end he hardened his heart and said: "Du Mingfu is in charge of all opportunities, how can he spend time teaching you the pipa?" There is everything in the entire Chengdu city that can teach you pipa, don't bother Du Ming Mansion anymore! ”

"Don't!"

The jade slave shook his head vigorously, and bit his lip again, and his eyes showed a crystal light: "Grandpa is not here, the master treats me the same as Grandpa, except for the master, I don't learn pipa from others, and I will never learn!" ”

Seeing that the jade slave, who had always been the most obedient and admired in front of Yang Xuanyan's father, said this, and turned around and ran away, Yuqing couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Seeing Yu Yao's quick reaction and hurriedly started to chase after her, she hurriedly came to her father and asked with a puzzled face, "Why did Grandpa stop Yu Nu?" Yunu is indeed much more talented than me and Yu Yao, but every ten years she goes to the county party for two rì, and now she has played a lot of tunes like her, and Du Mingfu seems to love her a lot, and whenever she comes back, she will even bring some food and gadgets to me and Yu Yao. In addition to Chen Jizhen, a disciple of Du Ming's Mansion, and Cui's grandson, Cui's family, there are almost few people in Chengdu who have the same blue eyes as Du Ming's Mansion......"

"That's why I'm worried." Yang Xuanyan sighed, secretly sighing that the one who stayed in the city to take care of his family was only his nephew after all, and he naturally had no confidence in front of Du Shiyi, and he didn't dare to let them stay away from Du Shiyi. But now that he is back, he has to weigh the consequences. Du Shiyi drove away Fan Chengming, which means that he is completely on the opposite side of Zhongshu Ling Zhang's words, the prime minister is not a tolerant person, and his younger brother and other clansmen are quite some officials in the court, in case someone is remembered because of the relationship between Du Shiyi and Yunu......

Although Yuqing is young, because she has been taking care of family affairs, she has guessed a few clues from her father's frowning brows at this moment. Although she has been sweating about Yunu's entry and exit from Chengdu County, for fear that the little girl will offend Du Shiyi if she is not good, but at this moment, thinking of her sister's teary eyes just now, she couldn't help but say: "Grandpa doesn't have to think too much. This Dragon Boat Festival, Mrs. Chu Guo in the capital also specially ordered someone to send something to our sisters. Speaking of which, our relationship with Hongnong Yang is already a little far away, but we can still be remembered, it can't be because my uncle is an official in Henan, right? ”

"This ......"

A smile appeared on Yuqing's young and bright face: "Just let everything go naturally, otherwise Grandpa won't go to Chengdu County as soon as Grandpa comes back, and maybe Du Mingfu will think that Grandpa is doing it on purpose!" I heard that this Du Mingfu is a gentleman, but I looked at him as if he was a little embarrassed! ”

With that, she said no more, curtsied, and then turned and left the room. When she got outside, she saw that Yu Yao was pulling the red-eyed Yu slave over, so she stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe the tears on her sister's face. Although they are both sisters, she and Yu Nu Yu Yao are the same mother, and the youngest Yu Mei is a concubine, so in her heart, Yu Nu Fang is the little sister. Tsai carefully wiped away those tears for Yunu, and she said softly: "Don't cry, the eldest sister has already persuaded Grandpa, and she will not stop you from learning pipa from Du Mingfu." Yu Nu, don't cry anymore. ”

"Really...... It's true? ”

Yu Nu raised her head in some surprise, and when she saw Yu Qing nodding vigorously, she immediately burst into tears and smiled, her face full of surprise. Beside her, Yu Yao's mouth opened wide in surprise, unbelievable that the eldest sister could really persuade her father. Thinking that Du Shiyi turned herself away directly from the door, she felt a little sour in her heart, but thinking about the appearance of Yunu just now with pear blossoms and rain, she relented again, stepped forward and comforted the person in her arms for a while, and saw that the little girl was gradually sleepy, she quickly called the maid Manniang to come and take the person back to the room, and only then did she look at Yuqing as soon as the people left.

"Eldest sister, did you really convince Grandpa?"

"I have to wait for Grandpa to make his own decision." Yuqing sighed softly, and didn't know whether to say it to Yuyao or to herself, so she muttered softly, "Whether it's grandpa, uncle, or several clan uncles, there is no prominent Yang clan in Hezhong, and even Hongnong Yang's family has been much worse in the court over the years, if it weren't for the relationship between Yunu and Du Mingfu, how could Mrs. Chu Guo think of bringing us something?" Although the Duke of Chu has not yet redressed his grievances, but the first king and queen have all been abolished, if Concubine Hui can be registered, are you still worried that the Jiang family will not be able to recover? Even if Grandpa doesn't ask for Wenda, he can't offend people because he is timid and afraid. ”

"Big sister is really amazing!" Yu Yao exclaimed, and then showed a regretful expression, "It's a pity that Du Ming Mansion is only willing to teach Yu Nu ......"

Zuihou's voice was very small, Yuqing didn't care at all, so naturally she didn't hear it. Early in the morning, Yang Xuanyan received Du Shiyi's reply, and he had not slept all night, so he had to make up his mind to visit the county party immediately. When he was brought into the three study rooms, he saw a boy sitting behind a bookcase on the left, who was still in the main corner, which should be the disciple from the countryside that Du Shiyi had accepted in rumor. When he found that the person had already stood up to greet him, he knew that he had just been distracted, so he hurriedly walked two steps forward.

"I've seen Du Ming's Mansion."

"Yang Gong is safe and healthy."

Because Yang Xuanyan is twice as old as himself, and he is the father of Yunu, Du Shiyi naturally treats him politely. After the ceremony, he sat down, the waiter brought tea soup, he asked Chen Bao'er to go to the window to read, and then took a cup of tea, looked at Yang Xuanyan and said with a smile: "Yang Gong is far more senior than me in Shuzhong, and I think he should be more knowledgeable than me in drinking tea." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Yang Xuanyan didn't dare to hold it up, and humbly owed it, so he coughed dryly and said, "I wasn't used to this bitterness when I first came, but in the past few years, I have gradually become obsessed with the taste of this bitterness, but I am far from daring to say that it is good." That is, in recent years, the trend of drinking tea has gradually become popular, and there are more and more people planting tea trees in Shu, but like Du Ming Mansion, all the abandoned mountains have been set aside to plant tea, but it is really admirable. ”

"Yizhou is not the best place to grow tea. Peng Hai, a customer who had previously competed with the Li family for tea gardens, once told me that Yazhou is the most suitable for growing tea. At the same time, from Yazhou to Tubo, there is a steep but closer road, so it is really necessary to make Shu tea popular all over the world, as far as Tubo, Yazhou is the place to fight. Du Shiyi put down the teacup as she spoke, looked at Yang Xuanyan with a smile and said, "Yang Gong has been an official in Shuzhong for two terms, I don't know if you are willing to go to Yazhou to take the lead?" ”

Shuzhou has more than 30,000 households, it is Shangzhou, and the Sihu joins the army from the seventh grade, while Yazhou is only the lower capital governor's mansion, and the household is less than 20,000. Therefore, Yang Xuanyan couldn't help but be stunned at first glance, and then secretly angry, but before he could say the euphemistic words, Du Shiyi said with a smile: "Mrs. Chu is quite promising to Yang Gong, I heard that Jiang Shilang has recommended his cousin Li Siye, and Li Siye recommended to the Yuwen Household Department and asked Yang Gong to be the Sima of Yazhou. ”

It's not Liucao who joins the army or records the army, but Yazhou Sima! That's an official position from the fifth grade!

Yang Xuanyan was speechless for a moment. He didn't care that Sima was more glorious than substance compared to Liucao's joining the army and recording affairs, which was almost equivalent to an idle position. What he thought was that with such an official title in hand, at least he could have another official position on his epitaph, maybe he could find another term after this term, but a place like Yazhou was like moving to the left, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little. However, Du Shiyi seemed to like to say things that made him shaken and even frightened again and again, and as soon as this remark came out, he actually added another sentence.

"The current governor of Yazhou, Lu Yuanjun, is frail and sickly, and Yazhou is full of barbarians, and few people are willing to go to this place, so Lu Yuanjun has always been reluctant to take this position. Therefore, if Yang Gong is willing to give in, I am afraid that the state government affairs will have to work a little more. ”
