The afternoon sun shone warmly on the two deck chairs between the flowers and trees in the back garden of the Shen Mansion. Halfway through spring, the flowers and trees bloom early, the green leaves spit out new, and the fragrance of the handmaidens who massaged them gently next to them made the two people on the chair intoxicated, and they didn't know where they were.

After a long time, Shen Shixing stretched out his hand to signal the maid to step back for the time being, half-sat up, and said to Zhang Cheng, who was wearing a crimson python robe next to him: "Father-in-law is here, I'm afraid it's not just for enjoyment, right?" Xia Guan guessed, it must be related to Shanxi, right? ”

Zhang Cheng also sat up, moved his neck, made a crisp click, smiled, and said, "The old man of the pavilion is clever, and he guessed it at once." Said a fist: "Here, our family should first congratulate the old man, seeing the position of the first assistant in front of him, in the future, the old pavilion will show his grand plans, and the court of the country, but don't forget the former comrades-in-arms!" ”

Shen Shixing smiled and said, "What is Gonggong Zhang talking about?" The lower officials can have everything today, isn't it all cultivated by the ancestors, and the father-in-law is carrying it? It is said that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, and it is too late for the lower officials to be grateful, how could they do such a shameless thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? ”

"Just kidding, why is Elder Ge in a hurry?" Zhang Cheng smiled unhurriedly, and said, "What kind of person is Elder Ge, don't we know what kind of person our family is?" Come here today, but the ancestor asked our family to inquire about the news, you also know, people are a little verbose when they get older, and you haven't passed these days, and the ancestor is a little anxious. ”

"Understand, understand, everyone has an old man!" Shen Shixing nodded quietly, picked up the teacup next to him, handed it to Zhang Cheng personally, and picked up a cup himself: "Father-in-law, please use tea!" As he spoke, he took two sips, put down the teacup, and said, "Zhang Whale came to find Xiaguan." We told our ancestors about this, and now that Zhang Yunling is dead, it seems that the ancestors and father-in-law also know that this matter is Zhang Whale's handiwork, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Saying that, he sneered and continued: "Zhang Whale's good calculation. I want to sell well to the lower officials, and I want to frame Chen Mo with this, I really want to beat the rabbit, and I don't want to let go of any of them. Xia Guan simply gave him a plan, so that not only could he unite his forces to fight Chen Mo Feng Bao, but also seize his handle, in the future, he would be the commander of Dongchang, and he would not be allowed to knead every time? ”

"Are you sure that Chen Mo really sent someone to Shanxi?" Zhang Cheng didn't talk much. However, every question can be asked on the point.

"What does it matter if you're not sure?" Shen Shixing asked rhetorically.

Zhang Cheng was slightly stunned, nodded slightly, and said: "Yes, this time, even if he doesn't poke out the news himself, you will poke out the news, and then release the matter of Qinghedian." He really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't count. As he spoke, he sighed and said, "It's just a pity for that four-dimensional one." I've been kept in the dark all along, and I'm still dreaming of keeping Shousuke, but I don't know that this is going to be a catastrophe! ”

"And that Chen Mo and Feng Bao, after this blow, Zhang Feng Group will definitely fall apart. I can't make waves anymore, and my ancestors can finally breathe a good sigh of relief! ”

After that, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Just when Zhang Cheng and Shen Shixing were talking freely in the Shen Mansion, Zhang Siwei's Mansion also ushered in an uninvited guest. This person is, of course, Chen Mo.

Chen Mo didn't have much time to enter Zhang's Mansion. At most, half an hour, soon, was personally sent out by Zhang Siwei. It's a pity that no one else saw the expressions on the faces of the two at this moment, Chen Mo's expression was relaxed, and his steps were brisk, like a leisurely stroll. And Zhang Siwei's face was like ashes, and his steps were heavy, like a mourning exam.

"Ge Lao, please stay! You and I don't know each other, I will leave Beijing in the future, I'm afraid that our family can't send each other in person, here, first say a cherish, the mountains and rivers will be long in the future, there will be a goodbye time, at that time we are always talking about wine, and the moon is a long song! Leave! ”

Zhang Siwei arched his hand, suddenly a little relieved, nodded, and glanced at Chen Mo deeply, as if he wanted to imprint Chen Mo's figure in his heart with this action, and only after a long time did he say: "Chen Gongda's grace, this official is unforgettable, if there is a chance, there will be a report, take care!" ”

Chen Mo smiled, took the reins of the horse handed by the doorman, put on the horse, and left Zhang's mansion straight in the direction of Shen Li's house.

When he arrived at the destination, Jin Wuxi fell, twilight was rising, the porter who opened the door knew Chen Mo, and was overjoyed to welcome him in, after closing the door, he rushed to go first, and when Chen Mo entered the second door, Shen Li had already greeted him with a smile, and there was one standing next to him, who turned out to be Wang Shizhen.

Chen Mo was slightly surprised, but he didn't stop, took a few steps forward, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed in front of Shen Li, and said, "Disciple Chen Mo, I've seen Mr!" After Shen Li helped him up, he turned to bow to Wang Shizhen.

"Zhonghua is a good blessing!" Wang Shizhen did not hide her envy, grabbed Chen Mo's arm with her own hands and helped him up, looked at Chen Mo with a smile and said: "Little father-in-law, after more than 20 days, it can be regarded as meeting again, I heard that you returned to the capital by hot air balloon yesterday, the old man has this itch in his heart, how about it, when will you take the old man to fly around?" ”

After Wang Shizhen spoke, even Shen Li's face showed a yearning look, which made Chen Mo surprised, and said that these two were still childlike. Then I thought about it, the dream of flying in the sky has been around for a long time, and it is normal for the two of them to be like this, so I was relieved and said with a smile: "The old gentleman wants to sit, it's not a matter of one sentence?" Otherwise, you can simply go back to Zhaoling with your juniors this time. ”

Speaking of this, thinking of Zhu Yijun's admonition to himself, he happened to briefly say it to the two, and finally said: "The son of heaven has begged each other personally, and the younger generation is pondering, so I will let him go for the time being, and let public opinion temporarily stop for a while......" Thinking that the two were as jealous and hateful, he hurriedly added: "Anyway, the junior has found him a big trouble again, and His Majesty can forgive him once or twice, and if there are many times, sooner or later there will be a day when he gets tired of it." Moreover, the reason why His Majesty relies on him, in addition to the love of the former palace, the most important thing is his way of collecting money, and the younger generation will give him a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and when the time comes, he will have no support, see how he will jump? ”

While speaking, the three of them had already walked to the door of Shen Li's study, entered the house one after another, sat down to watch tea, Shen Li instructed his subordinates to prepare dinner, and after leaving Wang Shizhen to have dinner with Chen Mo, he picked up the topic again and asked Chen Mo curiously: "Shaoyan, you said that you will draw salary at the bottom of the kettle?" What's the bottom of the kettle? Since you recognize the old man as a teacher, you are not allowed to do perverse acts and loot the people's fat, otherwise, you will be your own Yin Gong, and the old man will also be the servant of the official, the name of the master and apprentice, one knife and two cuts!
