Wang Zhixian rushed to Xu Liang with his bare feet like this, his hair was messy, and he pointed at Xu Liang and scolded: "If you don't play like this, brother, you will scare me as soon as I fall asleep." ”

"I really didn't scare you, Lao Ge came back from Beijing and brought a quasi-letter."

"Really?" Wang Zhixian didn't believe it.

"Really."

"Then come in and talk." Wang Zhixian Road, and walked towards the meeting room first.

"You don't change your clothes?"

Wang Zhixian snorted, ignored Xu Liang's question, and flashed into the living room like a white ghost in the night. Xu Liang followed into the living room.

The old family made a pot of hot tea for Xu Liang, and found a thicker coat and robe to carefully drape Wang Zhixian, and after doing this, he quietly retreated.

Wang Zhixian wrapped the robe tightly on his body, and asked nervously: "Brother give me a sincere word, who wants to dismiss my official?" ”

Xu Liang corrected: "It's not to dismiss your official, it's to transfer you away." ”

"Where are you going?"

"The head of the household department."

"Hey," Wang Zhixian scolded with a smile: "You scared my brother to death, I, the seventh-grade Xiaozhixian, can mention the head of the six-grade household department and be promoted by two levels in a row, this kind of thing should be a good thing." Uh, man, why don't you look happy for me at all? ”

Xu Liang glanced at Wang Zhixian and said with a wry smile: "If you leave, Lu Xiancheng will climb on my head." With such a demon Buddha on it, how happy can I be. ”

"Hasn't Lord Lu always been above you?" Wang Zhixian looked relaxed and quipped. After speaking, he seemed to think of something, nodded and said: "If Lu Chengyuan is in charge of Jianchang, the elder brother will not have a good time in the future." Then he smiled dumbly, "But don't worry, brother, don't you still have a goduncle above, as long as Lord Huang is still here, no one will dare to do anything to you." ”

Xu Liang smiled bitterly, the so-called current official is not as good as the current management, Huang Weizhong is good to himself, after all, he is separated by a layer, and the big things can be taken care of macroscopically, but it is impossible to cover everything. Just like this time, Governor Sun casually found a reason to choke himself enough.

The lantern in the living room flickered on and off, and Xu Liang saw that Wang Zhixian seemed to be still immersed in the idea of being promoted, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, muttering to himself, and he didn't put himself in Xu Liang's shoes at all. After sitting for a while, Xu Liang got up and said goodbye.

Wang Xianzhi woke up from the surprise, and personally sent Xu Liang out with a smile, seeing Xu Liang drooping his head and listless, he smiled and comforted: "Brother, look at it, if it is really difficult to do it under Lord Lu in the future, brother, I will think of finding a position for you in the capital, and then our brothers can meet every day again." ”

Xu Liang was stunned, turned around and said in surprise: "My lord, you are not serving in the capital, how can we meet in the capital." ”

Wang Zhixian was stunned for a moment, and asked after eating: "Just now you said that my brother was going to be promoted to the head of the household department, could it be that you really came to entertain me?" ”

Xu Liang sighed deeply and said earnestly: "Don't forget, my lord, our Ming Dynasty has more than one household. ”

"Heh, my brother is really joking, it's hard for us to have two or three households...... Uh, you...... You mean? Wang Xianzhi gradually understood, and looked at Xu Liang with wide eyes.

Xu Liang nodded heavily.

"......" Wang Zhixian stayed for a long time, jumped to his feet and scolded: "Which bastard wants to frame Lao Tzu, Xu Liang, you say!" ”

In the middle of the night, the officials of Jianchang County who stayed behind were suddenly woken up by a series of scolding by Wang Zhixian, and several dutiful officials climbed out of the bed, lit lanterns to enter the inner courtyard of the second hall to see what was going on, but was stopped by the old family of Wang Zhixian at the door of the second hall.

"Don't panic, adults are getting up at night." So said the old family.

The Ming Dynasty is different from other dynasties, since the grandfather moved the capital to Beijing, the court has formed Beijing, Nanjing two sets of central institutions, three divisions and six departments, Beijing City has institutions, Nanjing City also has a set, but there is no real power, not to mention the small Liupin Household Department of the head, even if you are in Nanjing City to serve as a scholar, what about the flowers, the birds, if there is no special opportunity, but whoever is put in Nanjing as an official, the benevolent road will basically come to the end.

It's no wonder that Wang Zhixian reacted so violently.

It was the first time for Xu Liang to see the gentle Wang Zhixian and get angry, but he didn't succeed for a while, but he had to stop and comfort Wang Zhixian.

It was late at night when Xu Liang returned home, and the night was cold and dewy, even if he wore a thick jacket, he could feel the slightest coldness. Bypassing the delicate corridor, I arrived at the door of my bedroom, where the soft light in the room reflected yellow light through the paper screen window.

Suqin, this girl hasn't slept yet? Xu Liang thought in his heart, his heart warmed, and he quickened his steps and pushed the door and walked in.

In the room, a woman in a green shirt sat at the table, her right hand was on her chin and fell asleep, but it was not Feng Suqin, but Yahuan Xia'er.

Xu Liang shook her awake: "Xia'er, wake up." ”

Xiao Yahuan woke up in shock, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and yawned lightly: "Young master, you're back, Xia Er will fetch you hot water." ”

"Forget it, it's so late, don't bother. You go to sleep. ”

Xia Er listened, knowing that the young master had always been like this, he said that if there is no need to trouble, then there is really no need to trouble, and he stretched his waist at the moment, yawned and walked out of the house.

Xu Liang fell heavily on the bed, the soft silk was covered with his upper body, thinking that Lu Chengyuan was about to be promoted to the magistrate of Jianchang, and his heart was panicked.

"Young Master...... Are you asleep? "But Xia Er has returned.

"Nope. Anything else? ”

"Hmm......" Xia Er quietly stood on the edge of the bed and whispered, "That...... Miss Feng was originally going to wait for the young master to come back, but Xia Er saw that Miss Feng's face was extremely bad and she coughed from time to time, so she persuaded her to go back and rest early. ”

Xu Liang turned over and exclaimed, "Suqin is sick? Why didn't you say it earlier! With that, he hurriedly went out and strode towards Feng Suqin's room.

Xia Er followed closely behind her, and explained uneasily: "Actually, Miss Feng had a cough a few days ago, but at that time, Young Master, you were pestered by someone from Nankang Mansion, so she ordered the servants not to sue you, and the past two days have become more and more strict......"

Xu Liang's heart tightened when he heard this, and when he walked to Feng Suqin's bedroom, he heard two suppressed coughing sounds from inside. Xu Liang was even more anxious, pushed the door in, it was pitch black inside, and Feng Suqin's voice sounded weak and hoarse in the dark.

"Brother Xu...... You're back. ”

Behind her, Yahuan Xia'er hurriedly found the oil lamp on the table and lit it with a fire fold. In the dim oil light, at the head of the bed under the pink curtain, Feng Suqin had already sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, wearing beige pajamas wrapped around her upper body, her long hair was still hanging down her shoulders, but her face was sallow.

Xu Liang mourned in his heart, and stepped forward to help her: "Don't get up, lie down." Then he was distressed and reproached: "Why are you so sick?" Don't sue me either? ”

"Ahem...... Big brother has been doing a lot lately, and he is a little uncomfortable, so how can I distract you. ”

"Have you seen the doctor?" Xu Liang asked, seeing that Feng Suqin's hands were still exposed, he carefully pulled them into the quilt.

Feng Suqin wanted to give a smile, but unexpectedly coughed twice, so she had to explain with a wry smile: "Earlier, the doctor from the city came and prescribed some medicine, and it was much better during the day, but I coughed again at night." ”

I've heard that I've seen a doctor, and the result is still like this. Xu Liang scolded: "What kind of doctor did you invite, you can't see it yet!" He also instructed Xia Er: "Ming'er, you invite the doctors with the best medical skills in Jianchang City, and be sure to cure Suqin's illness!" ”

"Hey," Xia Er replied.

Seeing that the beauty was sick like this, Xu Liang was in a heavy mood, chatted with her and chatted with her, and fed and drank half a cup of hot water with his own hands, and then simply fell asleep in Feng Suqin's house, the two squeezed into a bed, turned off the oil lamp, and whispered for a while.

That night, Suqin in Xu Liang's arms woke up several times with a cough, and Xu Liang patted it lightly, feeling distressed and blaming himself.

Suqin was sick like this, and she didn't realize it until now. Thinking that he had been busy dealing with He Hong and the two from Nankang Mansion in the past few days, he ignored the beauty, and his hatred for He Hong and the two became a little heavier.
