Chen Mo was silent, he naturally understood Chen Ju's intention of giving him the word "few words", that day he was "amazing", saying words that did not match his age and identity, it was nothing more than to attract Chen Ju's attention, and now that the goal has been achieved, it is definitely a blessing and misfortune to show it, is it worth taking the risk again?

"Shaoyan, the word I gave you for my father is to let you remember the truth that Mu Xiu came out of his mouth in the forest disaster, but I didn't let you hide your privacy here for your father." Chen Ju's eyes returned to normal, he looked amiable, and his tone of voice was like a spring breeze.

"Do you remember what the boy said that day?" Chen Mo gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Long live the lord is already in power, and now, but at the moment when he is eager to establish his authority, the child estimates, this is just the beginning, there is still chaos in the back, you can't hit the muzzle of the gun at this time!" ”

Chen Ju's Danfeng eyes narrowed again, and he was silent for a long time, and suddenly waved his hand: "You go down first, and think about it again when you are a father, well, by the way, call your eldest brother." ”

Chen Mo agreed, retreated nervously, found Qian Mu, and returned to his room, wanting to find a book to kill time, but found that he couldn't read it anyway, so he simply threw away the book and went outside to clean the already very clean yard again.

In Chen Ju's study, Qian Mu also heard the same questions as Chen Mo had heard, but his reaction was different from Chen Mo's, he knelt on the ground, looked at Chen Ju with his chest straight, and said angrily: "What do you need a child to do, just ask your father-in-law." ”

"Get up," a faint disappointment crossed the depths of Chen Ju's eyes, and said kindly: "This matter still needs to be considered by my father, and when I use you, I will naturally tell you, go down first." ”

Qian Mu didn't say anything more, got up and retreated.

Seeing Qian Mu's back disappear, Chen Ju looked complicated, got up and paced in the small room for a while before leaving the room, passing by Chen Mo who was holding a broom, he left in a hurry after leaving a sentence that he would not come back for dinner.

With his departure, Chen Mo became more and more worried, and really hoped that everything in front of him was a dream - although the life of the poor ** silk in the future generation is not happy, it is better than the precarious days now. He suddenly had an inexplicable thirst for power.

Chen Mo was so preoccupied that he no longer had the heart to clean the yard, thinking that Chen Ju would not come back for dinner anyway, so he simply went out of the Gaofu from the back door to relax.

In Bei'anmen, most of the 24 yamen gather here: on the east side of the street is the Shangyi Supervisor, on the north side of the street is the Si Jian Supervisor, and further east, the Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau, the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, the Leather House, the Paper House, the Needlework Bureau, the Towel and Hat Bureau, and the Gunpowder Bureau...... Then to the east to the south, the inner government supply warehouse, the Fanjing factory, the Hanjing factory, the Siyuan Bureau, the bell and drum division...... Further south, the governor and the celebrant are in the north of the new house, and after the new house, it is the imperial horse supervisor (the so-called new house does not refer to one place, but a long street in the east-west direction, "Zhi Zhongzhi").

Further south, the pole room, the dining room, the warm pavilion factory, the Ming ware factory, the mixed hall division, the inner east factory, the Shang food supervisor, the north flower room, the seal and ribbon supervisor, the middle study, the inner transport warehouse, and so on, close to the moat, the two banks of the river, the elm willows are in rows, and the flowers are separated, just like the Tian family.

Along the east bank of the moat, is the residence of the high eunuchs, who can live here are the eunuchs with the highest status and the most trusted by the emperor in the palace, and the high mansion is here.

In addition to Gao Zhong, the master of ceremonies is in charge of Feng Bao, the manager of the Qianqing Palace Zhang Dashou, the master of ceremonies is in charge of Zhang Whale, Zhang Cheng, the inner palace supervisor is in charge of Yin Tianyi, etc., all of them are here, lined up, and Gao Mansion is in the northernmost head.

Coming out of the back gate of the high house is the moat, and standing on the riverside and looking into the distance, you can see the emerald green glazed tiles of Inshou Palace.

Chen Mo went to the Forbidden City in later generations and knew that it was once the place where Qianlong lived when he abdicated as the emperor, but now it is the place where the concubines of the former emperors and concubines are old. Further south, Ciqing Palace is the residence of the current emperor Wanli's mother, the Empress Dowager Cisheng, when he thought of this, a beautiful shadow of light blue suddenly appeared in his mind, and he involuntarily walked south.

"Winter and October, frozen dogs", not to mention that we are now in the era of the Xiaoice River. The moat is frozen three feet, the elm willows on both sides are bare, the sky is cloudy, the cold wind paves the surface, and the sky and the earth are depressed.

Follow the smooth stone-paved path all the way south, and there is no one on the way. After finally seeing the red palace wall of Ciqing Palace, Chen Mo stood still, tightened the cyan cotton robe on his upper body, leaned against the white marble railing by the moat, and looked fixedly at the corner gate that could lead to the inner palace.

The river here is quite wide, counting the open space on both banks, it is a hundred meters, and the small corner gate is only the size of a matchbox in Chen Mo's eyes, even if you can really see the Aunt Qi in your memory, you can't see it clearly at all, not to mention that the corner door is closed at the moment, and there is no figure at all.

Chen Mo could feel the previous Chen Mo's love for Aunt Qi, and picked up the memories of this woman, even he felt that the previous Chen Mo had a good eye, and he couldn't help but have an urge to repay his wishes. However, when he thought of Aunt Qi's identity, he flinched a little - whether he could live until tomorrow was still a question, and it was simply wishful thinking to be the palace maid who was the most favored by the Empress Dowager of Mercy here.

He was a little excited, recalling the poor but hopeful days in the future, and thinking about the unknown, and now being controlled by Chen Ju's fate, he had mixed feelings for a while, and couldn't help but be stupid.

Chen Ju, who Chen Mo was worried about, had already left the Daming Gate at the south gate of the imperial city at this moment, passed through the crowded chessboard street, twisted and turned, and came to a very quiet alley.

The alley is very quiet, and walking on the cobblestone pavement and listening to the noise of the street faintly makes people feel like they are in a dream.

The cobblestone road is not long, only the innermost one has a small gatehouse, it is a courtyard house inside, there are five main rooms, there are three matching rooms in the east and west and south, there are several plum trees planted under the window of the main house, the white flower bones are waiting to be put in bud, and there is a dark fragrance.

The middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper welcomed Chen Ju into the courtyard, and shouted from afar: "Master, Father-in-law Chen has come to see you." "The smile is very familiar.

With his voice, there was a hearty laugh in the main room, and before the laughter stopped, a middle-aged man with a long beard with a Chinese character face stepped on clogs, wearing a household robe to greet him, and saw Chen Ju bow first, and then said: "Brother Wanhua has not come to see the little brother for a few days, which side of the wind is blowing today?" ”

Chen Ju smiled back at the other party: "Master Gu came to make fun of our family again, our family is busy all day, and I just have time today, so I won't come to see you in a hurry!" ”

"Brother Wanhua, don't bluff the little brother, look at the entrance, look at your frowns, I'm afraid you have something on your mind, right?" The middle-aged man welcomed Chen Ju into the main room by hand, and asked while motioning for the housekeeper to serve tea.

"Uncle Shi," Chen Ju saw that this person was none other than Gu Xiancheng, the leader of the Donglin Party in the future, and now he is the head of the household department: "I won't tell you, our family does have some difficult things to ask you for." ”

Gu Xiancheng is extremely smart and acts boldly and sincerely, coupled with his unique views and old eyes, Chen Ju hit it off with him a few years ago, and he became close friends, and he loves to come to him to discuss any difficult things.

"Tell me about it." Gu Xiancheng took the teacup from the butler and handed it to Chen Ju with his own hands.

Chen Ju took the teacup but didn't drink it, put it on the coffee table, glanced at the housekeeper, and the housekeeper retreated, and then said slowly: "There is a person who makes our family very difficult." ”

Gu Xiancheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said: "It's strange, Brother Wanhua has always been decisive, who is the person who makes you so entangled?" Didn't you tell us that the way to use people is to use those who can use them for themselves, and those who can't use them for themselves will be removed? ”
