- Among the ten thousand flowers, the pavilions and flowing water, the master holds a banquet, and the clothes and temples are fragrant. The singers plucked the strings and sang while dancing, singing and fluttering petals into the hearts of the scholars.

Chen Ke was not fascinated by the flowers and wine in front of him, he had not forgotten the purpose of his visit, but the other party did not seem interested in talking to him deeply.

The guests were also vaguely aware that Wen Yanbo seemed to be a little alienated from this uninvited guest. Chen Ke wanted to cause a conversation several times, but he avoided it without a trace. It is not surprising to think of the two of them in the past.

Just after the third round of drinking, Wen Yanbo's family came to report, saying that there was business in the yamen, and urged the minister to go back quickly.

"Teacher, I am entangled in mundane affairs, and it is rare to have half a leisure." Wen Yanbo said apologetically to Long Changqi: "The student retired first. ”

"It's a spoilt for you." Long Changqi said unhappily.

"It's all the students, and then make amends to the teacher." Saying that, Wen Yanbo raised his glass to Chen Ke and said, "Zhong Fang, please have fun." ”

"Excuse me." Chen Ke touched a cup with him, and after drinking it all, Wen Yanbo hurriedly went.

When the main owner left, Chen Ke and the guests relaxed, and the atmosphere in the banquet was very harmonious. Longchang period frequently raised a glass, Wen Yanbo frequently added wine, the scholars and doctors frequently greeted guests, Chen Ke was very bold in a cup of cups, and frequently thanked the masters, for a time it was happy, the nature was peaceful, it was really a fragrant drunk and forgetful.

At dusk, at the end of the reception, the singer and dancer Jì lined up to see off the guests, and the guests and hosts accompanied each other, and said goodbye.

Chen Ke's carriage drove over. Long Changqi took his hand and said with a bitter face: "Zhong Fang is sorry. I'm embarrassing you, you have to know what I meant......"

"The kindness of the old gentleman. Late life is grateful. Chen Ke smiled: "Besides, I can have a glass of wine with Wen Xianggong, I am already satisfied, and I can't ask for more." It's just that his smile, in the eyes of everyone, seems to be full of bitterness.

"Zhong Fang will stay a little longer, and the old man will arrange it again." Long Changqi said sincerely.

"Late born with the emperor. I didn't dare to stay for a long time, so I was going to leave early in the morning. ”

"That's ......" Long Changqi looked disappointed: "Then we can only wait for next time." ”

"Well, next time." Chen Ke deeply shook Long Changqi's hand and said, "Take care, old man!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Early the next morning, Chen Ke left Luo and returned to Beijing. As the students expected, they quietly went on the road again, and the send-off was not ...... Many people can't help but sigh, alas, how did the teacher mix it up? It's a little miserable, too.

Chen Ke was in a very good mood along the way, and he quickly stepped up and returned to the capital.

The next time he went to court, Chen Ke got up a little late, and when he arrived at the hospital, the officials had basically arrived.

When he entered. Officials are getting together to talk about long and short, what 'hot face sticks to cold ass', 'now I want to hold on to Buddha feet temporarily, and I don't want to think about who caused such a miserable person in the first place. Even if you don't care about the past suspicions, it is impossible for such a smart person to give them a burial. ’

But as soon as I noticed him coming in, the conversation immediately changed to 'It's a nice day', 'yes, I'm going to have to dry the quilt when I go back...... and I forgot that the sky outside was dripping.

Chen Ke came in casually. After eating two bites of two-rice porridge, the bell of the upper court rang.

The official praised Wen Yan, and ordered the division to discuss the reward, so Chen Ke retired.

Perhaps because the Western Xia and Jiaozhi have stopped, and the Yellow River has also been repaired, the monarchs and ministers are very relaxed. After a while, the early dynasty dispersed.

Out of the Xuande Gate, Chen Ke walked to his carriage, and was just about to go up, when he saw Jia Yan coming up, and said with a smile: "Take a ride." ”

"I'm not in a stable car." Chen Ke said with a smile.

"I admit it when I break my intestines." Jia Yan said, getting into the car.

Chen Ke shook his head, but he was a little moved in his heart. In the current situation, those who dare to get into their own cars are true brothers.

Getting in the car, there was no trace of a smile on Jia Yan's face, and he said angrily: "Do you know what those bastards were talking about earlier? ”

"Probably talking about my rights and wrongs." Chen Ke smiled and said, "Otherwise, as soon as I come in, why are they like geese with their necks choked?" ”

"You do." Jia Kang looked at him and said: "They said that you went to the doctor in a hurry, looked for Shao Yong's fortune telling in Luoyang, and wanted to go online with Wen Yanbo through the Longchang period, but the result was hot...... It's not interesting. ”

"It's well informed." Chen Ke was a little surprised: "I actually arrived in Bianjing one step earlier than me." ”

"Your every move has already been stared at." Jia Yan sighed and said, "Brother, is it really as they said?" ”

"They said yes." Chen Ke smiled and said: "I can make everyone happy, and I haven't run in vain." ”

"Brother, you haven't found out yet...... "Jia Yan said with a worried face: "People's hearts are completely over there." ”

"You kid, concentrate on your water conservancy," Chen Ke scolded with a smile: "Don't eat radishes all day long." ”

"I'm going to go all the way with you to the dark." Jia Yan sighed again and said: "But not all of them plan to hang themselves on a tree in the same year, you have to settle people's hearts." ”

"Have you ever sifted grain through a sieve?" Chen Ke said lightly: "If you don't shake, you won't be able to sift out the sand." So it's good to have a lot of earthquakes. ”

"Do you still have faith?" Jia Yan's attention was on the confidence when he said this.

"What am I tossing if I don't have confidence?" Chen Kebai glanced at him and said, "Do you really think I'm dying." ”

"But as you can see, the vast majority of ministers are not on our side." Even a technical official like Jia Kang, who is very insensitive to the DPRK situation, was frightened, which shows the seriousness of the situation.

"No big deal." Chen Ke said with a smile: "Teach you a theory that can't be passed on, in this world, there will always be half of the elite, half of the scum, and the remaining ninety percent are the majority of those who have no opinions." ”

"What do you mean?" Jia Kang's eyes widened, which was completely contrary to the words of the sage he had learned.

"Meaning, don't be intimidated by the situation in front of you. In many cases, the human heart is more precious than gold, and it is the least valuable. Because most people are just seeing the wind and going with the flow. Chen Ke said lightly: "So the winner is still the very few who stand at the top, the winner wins everything, and naturally includes the hearts of the people." ”

"This, is this an imperial technique?" Jia Kang was shocked into a cold sweat.

"Hehe......" Chen Ke smiled noncommittally, in fact, this is the theory of the Soviets.

"It seems to be very powerful...... Jia Kang thought for a while, scratched his head and said: "Forget it, I'm really not this material, let's do my water conservancy." As he spoke, his face changed: "I almost forgot about business, there is going to be a big problem with Erguhe!" ”

"No," Chen Ke opened his mouth and said, "It took so much money to just fix the ......."

"There are many reasons." Jia Jian frowned and said: "One is that when the river embankment was designed, the idea of 'harnessing water and washing sand' was adopted, so the river channel was narrow. There is a lot of rain in Chūn today, and the amount of water is larger than in previous years. The other is that after the winter solstice, work was still in a hurry, and as a result, after the chūn thawed, the embankment was full of cracks, and the widest place could reach into a fist. These reasons come together to make the river embankment in danger during the peach blossom flood. Once the summer flood comes, the consequences are unimaginable......"

Hearing that it was so serious, Chen Ke was also stunned, glared at him and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"I didn't see anything wrong at the time. Only when the problem is drawn can the cause be found. Jia Yan said with a bitter face.

"Hindsight!" Chen Ke scolded: "Have you reported it? ”

"Not yet." Jia Yan said: "I just came back from inspecting the embankment, and the report has not been written yet. He asked tentatively, "You don't want to hide it, do you?" ”

"I have a grudge against you, huh?" Chen Ke took a sip and said: "The flood situation is like the military situation, report it quickly!" ”

"Got it." Jia Yan nodded.

"Can it be remedied?" After pondering for a while, Chen Ke asked.

"Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven." Jia Yan said bitterly: "God, if it rains too much in Chūn, it can fall less in summer, and there will be salvation." ”

"Hmm." Chen Ke nodded.

At this time, the carriage stopped, and Chen Ke asked, "I'll go to my father-in-law's house, will you go?" ”

"No, no, no." Jia Kang lifted the curtain, saw that it was Su Fu, shook his head and said, "I'm really afraid of Uncle Su, let's go back and write my report." ”

"Send Master Jia back." Chen Ke gave an order and entered the gate of Su Mansion.

Entering this door, Chen Kezhen scratched his head a little, because his father-in-law became more and more strange. However, thinking that he only needed to endure for a while, but the Su family brothers had to endure it whole, his mentality suddenly improved a lot.

It is said that it has been almost two years since the brothers returned to Beijing in the fourth year of Jiayou, and the Su brothers have been staying in Beijing and have not come out to be officials.

It's not that the court forgot about them, in fact, as soon as the two returned to Beijing, Chen Ke gave them a good idea, Su Shi was put as the chief bookkeeper of Fuchang County, and Su Zhe was appointed as the chief bookkeeper of Michi County.

After receiving the appointment, the two brothers were nothing, and they were ready to pack up and go to office. Su Laoquan was not happy. He thinks that the official in charge of the book is too small, and he doesn't know what year and month his son can soar...... In fact, it is mainly for Chen Ke to compare, Lao Su always feels that his son is better than his son-in-law. How can the son-in-law become a bachelor, and the son is the master?

So he asked Ersu to resign and come up with various reasons to stay in the capital. Because he got definite news from Fu Xianggong - the imperial court is likely to hold a system examination within a year or two.

This system of examinations, also known as big subjects, is much heavier than the imperial examination. If the sons can get a good ranking in the exam, they will definitely rise to prominence! ——
