talked with Fu Mingzheng for a long time, and it wasn't until lunch that the two ended the conversation.

Although Fu Mingzheng is the master of the Imperial Historical Observatory, he is indeed nominal, he has very little time to stay in the Imperial Historical Observatory, and after talking to Wei Qiao, he left the Imperial Historical Observatory.

Yushitai has his own cook, Wei Qiao and Lin Fengzheng Niu Ichiro eat together, looking at the complicated gaze of the two staring at him, in the two of them almost staring at each other, Wei Qiao's heart was beating and uncomfortable.

After eating, Wei Qiao came to the palace. Shen Yutong's work efficiency is still extremely high, and a simple and bright room has been cleaned up.

A couch for reclining and a table that is not too big or too small to be enough. The table is full of pen and ink, and you can reach the teapot and cup on your right.

It's simple, it's simple, but it's basically complete, and the office is unhindered.

Shen Yutong stood on the side, smiling lightly. He is not weak-minded, and there is no luxurious house in the entire Yushitai.

Wei Qiao was also very satisfied, he was not used to it when it was really luxurious, he nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, not bad." Give me some of the past excerpts and conventions of processing methods, and I'll see and be familiar with them. ”

"Yes, my lord." Shen Yutong's expression was slightly restrained, and he agreed respectfully, and turned to go out. He also went to Wei Qiao today, and knew that he and Fu Mingzheng had been talking for the morning. The sense of superiority in the heart of 'a little friendship' in the past has suddenly become extremely small. It's one thing to hear, it's another to see.

Wei Qiao sat cross-legged on the couch, took out an abacus, spread out the rice paper, and took out a pencil.

Although this calculation has been made, it still needs to be calculated again. He learned this in the third grade of elementary school, but when he was in the fourth grade, he basically returned it to the teacher. He remembered how many abacus beads he remembered, and it was no problem to make it roughly. But if you give him an abacus, he basically won't need it.

Wei Qiao shook it, then knocked the following back into place and began to calculate it seriously.

He wanted to sort out the mantra, although he had almost forgotten it, but he estimated and calculated, and it was almost out.

When Shen Yutong appeared holding a stack of folds, Wei Qiao was lying on the desk and was engrossed, and from time to time he turned his head sideways and played with the abacus beads, which crackled.

When Shen Yutong saw it, he quietly put down the fold and quietly retreated.

"Brother Shen, what did Master Wei say?" As soon as Shen Yutong returned to the class room, Guo Zifeng came over.

Liu Chunyu was also a little excited, Yushitai is a Qingshui Yamen, they never expect to climb up, but hope to be transferred or released, even if it is a seven-grade county order, it is better than now.

Shen Yutong is now the steward of the palace, one level older than the two of them, remembering Wei Qiao's always plain look, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I can't see Lord Wei's surname, I can't get it for sure." "Having worked together for many years, he doesn't have to fool them.

The two looked at each other, looking a little disappointed. The purpose of the two is very simple, they both know Wei Qiao's back, they just want to change places through him.

Shen Yutong also understood the thoughts of the two 'seniors', and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't disturb, let's see after a while." ”

The two nodded, but they were still a little apprehensive in their hearts. Although they all have a little savings, they also know Wei Qiao's roots that there is no shortage of money, no lack of connections, and even more so women. There is no weakness in men, there is no one in Weiqiao, they have nowhere to start, and they have no bottom in their hearts.

Wei Qiao didn't know that he was thinking about changing jobs as soon as he took office, and he was concentrating on the dense numbers on the rice paper.

Thinking it was a simple matter, Wei Qiao reasoned for half an hour, and finally deduced the usage. At the same time, he also deduced the formula, folded the rice paper, and planned to take it back in the afternoon to illiteracy for a few little girls at home.

After finishing his private affairs, Wei Qiao picked up the folds and flipped them up one by one. There are many things in this palace, and the method of dealing with them has gradually become a convention.

It seems that at this time, everyone attaches great importance to the law, and each yamen can form rules. Over the years, the palace has formed a process of doing things, everything has a routine, just follow it, and no one will bother to seriously investigate and understand something.

Wei Qiao was looking at it attentively, and Shen Yutong walked in again and said in a low voice, "My lord." ”

Wei Qiao put down the fold, turned his head to look at him and said, "Something?" ”

Shen Yutong nodded, and said hesitantly: "My lord, something happened to the Chen family." ”

Wei Qiao frowned and said, "That Chen family? ”

Shen Yutong took a step forward and said in a low voice, "It's the Jinling cloth merchant, the Chen family who competed with your Wei family for the president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce a few days ago." ”

After all, this is a private matter, and it is a little inappropriate for him to report it.

Wei Qiao's heart moved, turned to stay, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Shen Yutong took a step back so that Wei Qiao could put on his shoes, and said, "The head of the Chen family, Chen Qi, is dead." ”

Wei Qiao was wearing his shoes for a moment, looked up at him, and said in surprise: "Confirmed?" ”

Shen Yutong nodded and said, "Well, Jinling Mansion sent someone to report and confirm that he was dead." ”

Wei Qiao frowned slightly and tucked his foot into his shoes. He didn't worry about anything else, he was worried that the Chen family dog would jump off the wall in a hurry, and he wanted to fight with the Wei family or something. Although the Wei family is not afraid now, it is also a big trouble.

Wei Qiao thought for a while and said, "Well, I know. Pay attention to the temple, I'll go there. ”

When Shen Yutong heard this, he hurriedly said, "My lord, do you want to send someone to follow you." ”

Wei Qiao waved and said, "No, I'll go and go back." ”

At this juncture, Wei Qiao must know the attitude of the Chen family, otherwise it is not a matter to wait in fear all the time. As for the Chen family's desire to roar Jinling like their father back then, it is simply impossible. Not to mention that many big people in Jinling are very sensitive to this matter, and the Chen family does not dare to mess around at all. Moreover, Shao Yi is not under much pressure, and he has been staring at the Chen family for a while. If the old thing is repeated, it is estimated that he will be the first to lose his head, so I am not afraid that he will not care.

Shen Yutong didn't want to say anything, but he immediately passed the news of Wei Qiao's trip to Chen's Mansion to Jinling Mansion. If something happened to Wei Qiao, not only Yushitai will be implicated, but Jinling Mansion will be the first to be unlucky!

Wei Qiao called Xu Mao and walked towards Chen's house on foot.

Chen Qi, Wei Qiao does not judge him, due to past grievances and hatreds, coupled with the current antagonistic relationship, Wei Qiao's evaluation is inevitably fair, at most half a hero, and he was born at the wrong time, and he was born in the same era as Wei Chongsheng. Even if Wei Zhong died, he ran into Wei Qiao again.

Chen Ting, if it is a pure businessman's struggle, even if Wei Qiao integrates into the role of the head of the Wei family, he may not be Chen Ting's opponent. After all, the rules here are very different from the future, and it is impossible and unrealistic to completely defeat a big family by commercial means.

A white cloth had been hung in front of the gate of Chen's mansion, and there was no one at the door, and the two stone lions stood alone, deserted. A cold wind crossed, and a few fallen leaves flew, adding to a sense of desolation.

Wei Qiao could vaguely hear the crying in the courtyard, but he didn't raise his feet and walk in.

Xu Mao looked at Wei Qiao just standing and didn't speak, his eyes blinked, he looked at the gate of the Chen Mansion not far away, and nodded thoughtfully.

"You're here." It didn't take long for Chen Ting to walk out, stand in front of Wei Qiao, and said lightly.

There is no anger, no hatred, no sorrow, and no resentment. It's like an old friend who hasn't seen him for a long time, and his eyes are indifferent with a hint of indescribable complexity.

Wei Qiao nodded lightly and said, "Find a place to have a drink." ”

Chen Ting turned to look at a teahouse opposite, and said, "I still have to keep a vigil at night, there is a teahouse not far away, our Chen family, dare to go?" ”

Wei Qiao nodded with a faint smile and said, "I'm worried about the rest of the Chen family, but I trust you." ”

Chen Ting's pale expression squeezed out a hint of a smile, and said, "Then let's go." ”

The two sat down at a table by the railing, and the two turned their heads along the avenue to see the gate of the Chen family.

The cold wind gradually lifted and the dust rose slowly. The two sat on the second floor, and neither spoke first.

Chen Ting stared at the gate of the Chen Mansion, his eyes flashed, and he sighed softly for a long time. Suddenly, he raised his finger to a corner and said to Wei Qiao, "There, there used to be a lot of traffic, like a busy city, and the crowd was surging and endless. Now, the autumn wind is gradually rising, and it is warm and cold. ”

Wei Qiao could feel the sadness in Chen Ting's heart, holding the teacup, looking at the withering tree, his eyes were faint, no joy or sadness.

After a long time, Chen Ting sighed, turned his head, looked at the blandness in Wei Qiao's eyes, and said strangely: "You are proud of the spring breeze now, you should be full of spirits and complacency, why are you more calm than before." ”

Wei Qiao shook his head lightly and said, "I didn't cultivate enough before, but I have recently broken through again." ”

The corners of Chen Ting's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't make a sound. He turned his head again and looked at the gate of the Chen family. Occasionally, someone comes in, and it doesn't take long to go in and come out quickly. It was sparse and desolate.

After a long time, Chen Tingyou turned his head and said with a light smile, "Actually, if the Wei family comes to the rescue now, our Chen family still has a three-point chance to survive." ”

Wei Qiao also turned his head, glanced at him, and said lightly: "You also broke through." ”

Chen Ting understood what Wei Qiao meant, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, picked up the teacup, and shook his head.

Although they have some sympathy for the Chen family, they let the Wei family have a blood transfusion to save the Chen family, not to mention Wei Qiao, it is estimated that few people in the Wei family will agree. Now there are still many Wei family members who are eager to snatch the Chen family's property, worried that it will be too late to do so, and the benefits will be less.

Wei Qiao was right, under a series of blows, Chen Dashao, who was originally full of arrogance, gradually calmed down, and with the change of mood, his surname was also affected.

The two fell silent again. The relationship between the two families is destined to have only one winner in Jinling, and on the other hand, there must be a loser.

After a long time, in silence, Chen Ting raised his head slightly, and his eyes suddenly flashed at Wei Qiao.

"Actually, I hate you. ”
