The news of He Hehe and Wang Xusheng's promotion spread quickly, and everyone also saw that the two of them and Xu Mingyuan were quite close during this time, and while envious, there was not much opposition.

There is a lot of information submitted by each branch every day, so Wang Xusheng also has four helpers under him, and the name of the governor is worthy of his name.

As for He Hehe, although there are many things to contact with the Criminal Department, there are not many people needed, so he is only assigned two small officials, and the history of the eighth rank is indeed one level lower than the deputy governor, but compared to the small officials without rank before him, I don't know how much better.

In addition to promoting He Hehe and Wang Xusheng, the others Xu Mingyuan did not move, which also relieved everyone who was worried about Xu Mingyuan's big rectification and loss of his official position.

However, the two important things that Lu Yu was originally responsible for were now separated by two people who obviously belonged to Xu Mingyuan's faction, and everyone began to have a new view on the pattern of the Qinglong Room.

Originally, Xu Yan, who didn't care much about the real power of the Qinglong Room in the eyes of everyone, seemed to be preparing to take back the right to control the Qinglong Room, and Lu Yu, who had been actually controlling the Qinglong Room, didn't seem to have any good way to deal with it.

After three days in a row, Wang Xusheng wrote a brief briefing that was concise and clean, which saved a lot of time and effort compared to reading a bunch of information, and when he saw a place of interest, Xu Mingyuan would also ask people to send detailed information, and the time spent on it every day was also reduced a lot.

Lu Yu's performance is quite honest, as long as he doesn't stretch out his hand casually, Xu Mingyuan actually has no intention of getting rid of him, a still usable talent.

However, if he stretched out his hand and crossed the line, or did something beyond Xu Mingyuan's bottom line, it would not be difficult for Xu Mingyuan to change a smart person to be the governor.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Xu Mingyuan got up early, changed into a loose blue and white robe, didn't eat breakfast, went out directly, drove a black carriage, and headed towards the south gate of Yongxingfang.

The carriage left Yongxingfang, walked south along the imperial city, and then went west until the imperial city on the other side, and then turned to the north, until it turned into the Zhengfang.

Xu Mingyuan stopped a passer-by and asked the location of Zeng's mansion, and then drove the carriage slowly to the southwest.

He was here last time, but he went straight to the capital lawsuit in the northeast corner, and this time his destination was Zeng's mansion, the mansion of Zeng Lijing, the secretary of the ministry.

The Imperial City is adjacent to the Imperial City, although there is a prison in the Fang, but there are still several large mansions in the southwest, and the Zeng Mansion is naturally one of them.

The official department is a member of the three products, and the gate of the mansion can directly break through the wall of the fang, facing the street outside the fang, but there are still other doors in the fang.

The black carriage stopped in the alley at the side gate of Zeng's mansion, and the side door should have been closed at this time.

Lush sycamore trees cast shadows into the alley, which landed on a black carriage, and next to this alley were several small courtyards, not as majestic as Zengfu, but delicate as they were.

Xu Mingyuan, who was sitting on the wheel, looked at a few children who were chasing and frolicking in the alley, and also showed a little smile.

The children are only five or six years old, they should live next to it, the sun in March has begun to get a little hot, and the courtyard wall of Zengfu is high, just enough to block the morning sun, and it has become a good place for these children to get up early to play.

It didn't take long for the closed side door to creak open, and a girl in a blue dress came out of it, closed the door softly, walked to the carriage, and followed Xu Mingyuan's gaze to look at the little girl who was squatting in the corner and crying loudly, and the little boy who was standing aside, a little helpless and comforting her, and a little smile on her delicate face.

"Do you think the little girl is really crying, or is she lying to the little boy?" Xu Mingyuan turned his head to look at Zeng Qingyi, who was standing next to the carriage, and asked with a smile.

"I guess she's lying to the little boy." Zeng Qingyi sat lightly on the wheels and said softly.

Xu Mingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, puzzled: "Why?" ”

"Because I grew up as a little girl." Zeng Qingyi shook her feet and said as a matter of course.

Xu Mingyuan looked at the little girl who had already stood up, and there was not a single tear in her eyes, and looked at Zeng Qingyi, who was a little proud beside her, and couldn't help laughing: "You loved to cry so much back then, you lied to me." ”

"You just know that? Stupid Mingyuan, you're really stupid. Zeng Qingyi smiled happily, looking at the two people who were holding their little hands and running to the other end of the alley, the laughter slowly stopped, and finally turned into a little nostalgia.

Xu Mingyuan looked at Zeng Qingyi's side face, and there was a little more tenderness in his eyes, and he said softly: "Take it, what do you want to eat, go eat a little first." ”

Zeng Qingyi retracted her gaze, nodded slightly, and said, "I heard that Chang'an City's bacon and meat buns are good, let's go eat this first." ”

"Okay, I know there's a restaurant that tastes very authentic, but I don't know if it's open now." Xu Mingyuan nodded, gently pulled the reins, looked sideways at Zeng Qingyi and said, "Do you want to sit inside?" ”

"It's not easy to go out to play in Chang'an, isn't it like you can't see anything in the car, as long as you don't see it by my parents." Zeng Qingyi shook her head, glanced at the direction of the side door and said.

Xu Mingyuan originally wanted to say that half of the sons and brothers in Chang'an City had seen the two of them outside Chang'an City that day, and as long as they ran into each other when they went out, most of them would be recognized.

But thinking of the scene that day, Xu Mingyuan didn't say anything, anyway, it was like that, what did it matter if they saw it again, could it be that they could still eat him.

With a flick of the reins, the black carriage drove forward steadily, the warm spring sun shining on his body, and the spring breeze blowing on his face, which was quite comfortable.

Zeng Qingyi leaned on the carriage, her good-looking eyes were bent and narrowed into a thin slit, and on the streets in the early morning, people who got up early came and went.

The luxurious carriage drove in the direction of the imperial city, it was mostly adults who got up early to go to the early court, Xu Mingyuan was still a little glad that the officials of the Yuntai Division did not need to go to the early court, and his rank was not enough, otherwise he would get up early every day and go to the court and stand in that hall for a few hours, it would not be very beautiful.

The carriage drove out of the Confessional Workshop, along the wide street, unhurriedly into Pingkang Square, and finally stopped in front of a small stall on the side of the road.

Xu Mingyuan had tasted this stall selling meat buns before, and it tasted authentic and really good.

Xu Mingyuan just wanted to jump out of the carriage, but Zeng Qingyi, who was sitting next to him, suddenly turned his head to look at him and said softly: "Stupid Mingyuan, do you say that we can still be like this in the future?" ”

Xu Mingyuan looked at Zeng Qingyi, who frowned slightly, nodded, and said softly: "If you want, then you can." (To be continued.) )
