Chang Shuying took a cup of tea, cautiously walked to Chang Dachun's side, and whispered: "Grandpa, you dissipate your anger and drink a cup of tea, my brother may have gone back, how can he have fun in that kind of place for four days!" ”

Chang Dachun sighed, and when he saw that Chang Shuying was still wearing men's clothes, he said angrily: "Why don't you go into the house and change your clothes, when you leave Nanjing, your brothers and sisters are more presumptuous than the other, and what does your daughter's family look like in men's clothes!" When you return to Nanjing, you must not publicize this matter. ”

Chang Shuying looked up and down at herself, and said softly: "This dress is very beautiful, many girls on the street are flattering at me!" ”

"Master, it's not good!" The butler took a few newspapers and ran in in a panic.

Chang Dachun panicked when he saw the newspaper, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, even if he was the emperor, he dared to contradict a few words, but there was nothing he could do about this newspaper, there was something to say about it, and what was not could be pulled out of three points of truth, which family accepted a concubine, which official embezzled a few taels of silver...... They have suffered enough.

"What did it say?" Chang Dachun put down the teacup and asked carefully.

The housekeeper flattened the newspaper, pointed to the previous report, and read out the headline: "The high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty extorted the people to enrich their pockets, and the people were angry and planned to demonstrate." ”

A wisp of sweat appeared in Chang Dachun's head, and he asked blankly: "What is this demonstration, and why is it solemnly reported in the newspaper?" ”

The housekeeper stomped his feet and explained: "Master, this demonstration is a gathering of the people, and if you don't get it right, it's a civil uprising!" If this reaches the ears of the emperor, it will be very bad for the master! ”

Chang Dachun, who understood it, immediately scolded: "Good Zhou Lichun, one set in front of you." Behind the set, villain! Hypocrite. Darn! ”

"When does it say the petition march?" Chang Dachun calmed down after scolding.

The butler replied, "Three days later! Why don't we discuss it with Zhou Lichun again? ”

Chang Dachun shook his hand and said fiercely: "No need. Let's go back to Nanjing, this week Lichun is too blind to see no one, I want to impeach him, this time if he is not dismissed, the old man will resign and go home! ”

The housekeeper wanted to speak and stopped, and said secretly: Why should the dignified Zaifu get along with Zhou Lichun, the little mayor.

Ay! Seeing Chang Dachun's face flushed and his neck panting, the housekeeper sighed secretly, picked up the newspaper and walked out.

Chang Shuying came over again and persuaded, "Grandpa." It's getting late, it's time to rest. ”

Chang Dachun said: "No need, I'll stay for a while, if this beast doesn't come back tonight, I'll expel him from the house!" Shuying, you should rest first, pack up your things, and prepare to go back to Nanjing tomorrow. ”

Chang Shuying was extremely disappointed and shook Chang Dachun's arm. He pouted and asked, "We've only been here for a few days, I haven't visited Shanghai enough, and besides, you haven't completed the task given to you by the emperor." When you go back at this time, how can you explain to the emperor? ”

Chang Dachun had words of suffering, thinking that Chang Shuying would eventually join the harem. is inevitably involved in the struggle for favor, and it is not too late to cultivate her scheming...... The more you think about it, the more it makes sense.

looked at Chang Shuying, who looked ignorant. Chang Dachun held her hand distressedly, and said gently: "Lichun has put so many means this week. Even your brother was calculated, nothing more than just to make your grandfather obey, since Lu Shoufu came to Shanghai last year, his attitude has changed greatly, that is, he has become much more sleek in dealing with people, a pair of emperor's meaning is his meaning, dare not refute the dispute, if I Chang Dachun is planted, the Qingliu faction will not have a big banner, when the Western-style faction is in vogue, the etiquette and music are corrupt, the morality is degraded, and everything in the world is unrecognizable. ”

Chang Shuying disagreed, seeing her grandfather's sad face, but she didn't dare to object, so she could only be silent.

Chang Dachun still didn't feel it, and continued: "Shuying, if you have the opportunity, you can persuade the emperor well, the law of the ancestors cannot be abandoned, Western doctrines are all crooked and heretical, it is okay to learn some military methods, and the tumors of politics, economy, and culture must not be spread and studied." ”

Chang Shuying didn't know that she would just enter the palace by herself, and she would definitely agree perfunctorily, but listening to her grandfather's meaning, she had clearly decided to send herself into the palace to serve the emperor, how did she answer, her face was red, she lowered her head, and she wanted to say it but couldn't say it.

Chang Zai pulled Lizhi again, and the ghostly head probed into the hall, just opposite Chang Dachun's eyes.

"Brute! You still know how to come back! Chang Dachun shook off Chang Shuying's hand, and wanted to get up and beat Chang again, but unfortunately he was old and weak, so he sat back in place.

Chang Zaixing glanced at his sister and smiled at Chang Dachun: "Grandpa, don't be angry, don't I enjoy the scenery of Shanghai, these days I am fully aware of Shanghai's corruption, extravagance, and extravagance!" ”

"You! Darn! Chang Dachun almost didn't pass his breath, looked at Lizhi who was cowering behind him, and asked, "Who is this woman, where did you kidnap it from!" ”

Lizhi has changed out of her pretend costume and put on traditional clothes, and at first glance, she looks like a beautiful girl, and her face is full of bookishness, which makes Chang Dachun like it more and more when she looks at it, and she can't help asking.

Li Zhi stepped forward step by step, first said a blessing and greetings, and then officially replied: "Master Qiqi, the slave family is a maid bought by the young master, and from now on I am willing to stay in the Chang family to be a slave and a maid, a cow and a horse." ”

Chang Dachun glared at Chang again, and asked Lizhi kindly: "Looking at your temperament, your background is not ordinary, right?" Why are you willing to be a subordinate in the Chang family, but someone forces you, don't worry to say it, I will make the decision for you. ”

Lizhi hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand, told her life experience truthfully, and said that she was pitiful, even Chang Shuying couldn't help crying, and stepped forward to help Lizhi comfort.

Chang Dachun sighed and said, "After it turned out to be an old man, you said that your father's name was Song Xin, so is your grandfather's name Song Ren!" ”

Lizhi wiped away her tears, nodded, and stared at Chang Dachun in surprise when she reacted.

Chang Dachun explained: "I was the same year as your grandfather, when he took your father to Beijing to take the exam, he lived in the same inn with me, your father was only about ten years old at the time, I was in the same school as your grandfather, but unfortunately Brother Song died young, and I was an official in a different place, and the two families broke off contact." ”

Lizhi hurriedly bowed: "My grandniece and nephew will meet Grandpa Chang." ”

Chang Dachun looked at Chang Zaixing, who was hiding aside, angry and laughing, and said: "Count your mistake as a mistake, if you hadn't brought Lizhi to meet, how would I know that Brother Song's descendants are so embarrassed, and I am ashamed of Brother Song." ”

Looking at Chang Zaixing's smirk, Chang Dachun looked at the pitiful Lizhi again, and was moved, announcing: "Back then, I joked with Brother Song and let the two families become in-laws, but I didn't expect that sentence to be answered now, is it Brother Song's spirit in the sky?" Since you and Lizhi are destined, you will become husband and wife, and you will love each other from then on. ”

Often jump up again and object: "No! The grandchildren don't want to start a family yet. ”

Chang Dachun said angrily: "Shut up! There's no place for you to speak. ”

Chang Shuying smiled in her eyes and said to Lizhi: "Sister-in-law, you have to take good care of your brother, don't do your job all day long, and mess with a group of fox friends and dogs." ”

Lizhi blushed, looked at Chang Zaixing and then at Chang Dachun, lowered her head and didn't dare to reply.

Chang Dachun said with a smile: "This matter is settled, okay, tomorrow you will take Lizhi's family over, I will discuss the marriage date with them, and return to Nanjing to complete the marriage." ”

Chang Zaixing shrugged his head, secretly saying that it was a pity, tomorrow I will miss it with the amorous rose girl, it's a pity! Pity! This was something he finally snatched from Zhou Lichun.

Chang Shuying smiled at the dejected Chang Zaixing: "Brother, go back and pack your things, we will go back to Nanjing tomorrow, you have to borrow your mother-in-law again, and you have to move for them, I'm afraid there is no time." ”

Chang Xing was confused again and asked, "Why do you want to go back to Nanjing, grandpa's errand is done?" ”

Chang Shuying said angrily: "It's not the unknown man named Zhou Lichun, he is always embarrassed by his grandfather, and he doesn't know how to explain to the emperor when he goes back?" ”

It's Zhou Lichun again! Chang Zaixing burst out with pride, waved his big hand, and said to Chang Dachun coaxingly: "Grandpa, don't worry! This matter is wrapped up in me, and I am still with Uncle Zhou today...... It will be easy to get him to hand over the money, and I will go to him tomorrow. ”

Chang Dachun only thought that Chang Zai would go crazy and wanted to find an excuse to go crazy, and scolded: "Tomorrow, you will honestly take Lizhi's family over." (To be continued......)
