At the same time that the messenger left Beiping City and rushed in the direction of Luxian, Gao Jun, who had eaten breakfast, also left the Yang family sisters to continue to talk about their sisterhood, and left Jiedu Mansion with his own guards and went to the Yamen of Beiping Mansion - Originally, Gao Jun planned to go to the side hall of the main hall of Jiedu Mansion to say hello to Seventh Brother and meet with several other committee members and brothers before leaving. But considering that the seventh brother Zhang Weixin was very anxious when he left just now, and obviously had important official business to deal with, it seemed inappropriate for him to go to meet the elder brothers of several committee members at this time. Therefore, in the end, Gao Jun still dispelled the idea of meeting with Wang Kunjun and others, and went directly out of the house.

Since the New Year was approaching at this time, everyone was preparing for the New Year wholeheartedly, and there were not many things waiting to be dealt with in the yamen. In addition, Gao Jun still has his tenth brother Zhao Dawei, as well as Tongzhi Zhong Youpeng and other officials in charge who did not go home on vacation, but stuck to their posts until Chinese New Year's Eve like a crowd, and it is really not his turn to take the turn of this young general judge who is actually still in the stage of learning and comprehension and cannot stand alone in the handling of government affairs. Therefore, he just walked around the prefect's yamen, went to the tenth brother Zhao Dawei and ordered a mao, and then left the Beiping Mansion in the other party's caring words of "there is nothing important in the yamen, and the brothers just go to their own house to prepare for the New Year".

In fact, because there were not many official duties that he needed to be responsible for in normal times, and the population of his family was also small -- he was only a wife and two concubines and had no children, and the house was small -- it was only a small courtyard with two entrances, so Gao Jun had already purchased all the New Year's goods needed for the New Year, and there was no need to go out to buy them. So, when he got out of the Beiping Mansion, Gao Jun did not go directly to his house, let alone go to Jiedu Mansion to pick up his wife who was still having fun with his sister, but wandered around the streets of Beiping to feel the festive atmosphere in the city.

I don't know if I subconsciously controlled the direction of the horse, or if I was used to walking this road before stepping off the mount, when Gao Jun looked up curiously because the street suddenly became a little deserted, he suddenly found that he had arrived at the left side of the fourteenth brother Fan Wucheng's mansion.

When he found that he had come to the street where the fourteenth brother Fan Wucheng's mansion was located, Gao Jun had a trace of hesitation in his heart, hesitating whether he should continue to move forward and visit the fourteenth brother's mansion as before. After all, he had just eased the originally stiff relationship with Brother Seven, and he also hoped that with Brother Seven's help, the relationship between himself and other brothers would be restored to the state before Brother Fourteen was punished. If he only released his suspicions with Seventh Brother on his side, and then had a heart-to-heart conversation with Fourteenth Brother here, it is likely that Seventh Brother and other brothers will think that he is a two-faced person at both ends of the first mouse, and then destroy the trust that he has just established with Seventh Brother.

However, as Zhang Weixin commented before, Gao Jun is still a young man with a straightforward personality and a sense of affection and righteousness. In order to ease the relationship with several committee members and other brothers, he could take the initiative to show goodwill to Zhang Weixin, and even say a few words of flattery and humility that he was not good at. But in order to get close to other brothers, he gave up his friendship with the fourteenth brother Fan Wucheng, reduced or even severed his contact with the fourteenth brother, but he could never do it. Therefore, the trace of hesitation in his heart only existed for a short moment, and was thrown aside by Gao Jun. He first went to a nearby store to buy a few handy New Year's goods as gifts for his visit, and then slowly walked towards the gate of Fan's Mansion with a group of entourage.

Hearing that his old brother came to visit, Fan Wucheng was very happy. First, Gao Jun was the only traverser he managed to win over into his camp, and after the committee punished him, the other party not only complained about himself, but also reportedly had a stiff relationship with several committee members and some other brothers. To have such a hardcore supporter who has always been unwavering from him can be regarded as a consolation to the fact that he was dismissed from office by the committee and had to go home to think about the incident behind closed doors. Second, now that the New Year is approaching, seeing other brothers either visiting each other or meeting for a banquet, only his own side is still a scene of sparse cars and horses in front of the door, which makes Fan Wucheng really realize the connotation of the hot and cold world. Today, Gao Jun came to visit, bringing a touch of popularity to his deserted mansion and bringing the joy of the New Year, and also made Fan Wucheng feel relieved in his heart - in fact, this is also a complaint against other brothers. At the beginning, when he had just been sent home, some brothers still came to visit him. It's just that at that time, he was worried that his collusion with "Feiyantang" would be exposed, and he was suspicious all day long. Except for what he thought was his hardcore brother Gao Jun, the other visitors were all gone. As the days went by, the other brothers ate too much, and they didn't want to touch the nails again. Later, as time passed, Fan Wucheng saw that neither several members of the committee nor Liang Ziyue of the Ministry of Intelligence came to him, realizing that the brothers did not find out about his underground transaction with "Feiyantang", and his nervous mood gradually calmed down and relaxed, and when he wanted to resume communication and contact with other brothers, he was embarrassed to find that because he had been refusing all visitors except Gao Jun some time ago, The brothers or friends who originally wanted to associate with him were no longer bored because they had repeatedly eaten closed-door soup, so that there was only one Gao Jun left who was willing to come to the door.

Therefore, after receiving the notification of the "visit of the thirty-sixth master" from his subordinates, Fan Wucheng immediately rushed to the front yard to greet him. And after a brief greeting with Gao Jun, he walked arm in arm with him, and the two of them entered the back house affectionately.

Entering the main hall of the back house, the two brothers sat down and chatted while drinking tea. The topic of chatting, on the one hand, is naturally that the New Year is approaching, and how each family plans to spend this year happily. On the other hand, there are some anecdotes and gossip news in Beiping City recently, as well as some internal situations in the Beiping Army -- Fan Wucheng, who was punished for thinking behind closed doors at home, no longer has the authority to read the internal reports and confidential news of the Beiping Army and the crossing team, so naturally no one will provide him with these materials. Therefore, except for some very limited information that his servants and subordinates took advantage of the opportunity to go out to buy or visit relatives and friends, most of the important news and confidential information were revealed to him by Gao Jun. Of course, when Gao Jun told Fan Wucheng about these things, he did not deliberately leak secrets, but a manifestation of not treating the other party as an outsider and an adversary. In Gao Jun's view, although the fourteenth brother Fan Wucheng was sent home to think behind closed doors for violating the regulations of the crossing team, the mistake he made was not serious, and it did not cause any real harm to the team and the Beiping Army, still less threatened the core interests of the team -- this can be seen from the fact that the enlarged meeting of the committee only dismissed Fan Wucheng from his post within the crossing team and the Beiping Army, and ordered him to go home and think about it behind closed doors, and there were no other more severe punishments. In the final analysis, the committee's punishment of the fourteenth brother Fan Wucheng is more to express an attitude to the members of the crossing team, a kind of never tolerate the crossing person to break it and shake it for his own selfish interests when the interpersonal relationship within the team is already balanced and stable. Therefore, in Gao Jun's mind, the fourteenth brother Fan Wucheng is just the first bird who was beaten, not some evil villain. The mistake he made was the contradiction between the "people", and although it required a certain amount of punishment, it was far from the level of mutual vigilance and confidentiality of information. Therefore, for some teams and the internal secrets of the Beiping Army, Gao Jun did not deliberately hide them from Fan Wucheng.

Since it was close to the end of the hour when Gao Jun came, the two brothers didn't talk for a while, and it was time for lunch. Regarding Fan Wucheng's kindness of setting up a banquet to entertain him, Gao Jun, who often comes and goes, naturally will not shirk and gladly accept it.

The time is not big, the banquet is set, the two brothers push the glass and change the lamp, you come and go, and the drink is not happy. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the two brothers who drank refreshed opened the box. The two of them chatted all over the world, in their past and present lives, and their interest was very good.

The two brothers are talking about sexuality, so they naturally talk about everything. After chatting for a while about the situation of the Beiping Army's ongoing preparations for the southward movement, the topic turned to the usual time. Fan Wucheng asked teasingly while serving Gao Jun with vegetables: "Brother today, you are so leisurely, why don't you go to the city with your younger brothers and sisters, or accompany her to visit the seventh brother and seventh sister-in-law, and come to Brother Wei alone?" Could it be that the two of them quarreled and came to hide and relax for their brother? ”

Gao Jun didn't care when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Brother Fourteen is making fun of the little brother again, when have you ever seen the little brother quarrel and quarrel with your younger brother and sister." Don't hide it from the fourteenth brother, the younger brother had accompanied her to visit the seventh brother and the seventh sister-in-law yesterday. Moreover, not only did he visit, but he also stayed at Seventh Brother's side for one night. I'm afraid that your brother and sister are still talking about sisterhood with your seventh sister-in-law! ”

"It turned out that my younger brother and sister patronized and talked about sisterhood with their sister, and left your husband aside." Fan Wucheng continued to joke, "In this case, brother, you should take the seventh brother to drink to repay the seventh sister-in-law's 'hatred of taking his wife'!" Anyway, now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, brother, you also said that the matter of our Beiping army going south has been basically prepared, and it can be moved randomly as long as Zhao Kuangyin makes a move. Brother Qi doesn't have anything to do at this time, so it's okay to have a few glasses of wine with you. ”

When Gao Jun heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Little brother, I want to take Seventh Brother to drink together, but I have to have that opportunity." I thought that yesterday was a small year, and the seventh brother would definitely go home to spend it with the seventh sister-in-law. Who would have thought that he waited from the afternoon until dinner, but the guards who came came to pass the word, saying that the seventh brother and the fifth brother and several of their committee members had official discussions and could not go home for dinner. It wasn't until more than nine o'clock in the evening that the seventh brother hurried back after finishing his business. That's not all, the next morning, the genius was bright, and the seventh brother was called away again, and I don't know if I can see him when I go to pick up your brother and sister at night. ”

"Brother Seven, the members of the committee are really hard." Although he was still dissatisfied with several committee members, in front of Gao Jun, who had obviously eased relations with Zhang Weixin, Fan Wucheng was still reluctant to express his emotions too obviously, but echoed the other party.

"Who's to say it isn't!" Gao Jun agreed. Immediately, he remembered what he heard in the morning from the person who came to send a message to Zhang Weixin, so he didn't care about it as an interesting news, and said to Fan Wucheng: "However, speaking of which, although the fifth brother and the seventh brother and their committee members work hard, they only don't have a commute to work and no rest days, at least they don't need to get out of the gate of this Jiedu Mansion." How can it be like the twenty-eighth brother, seeing that this is approaching the New Year, but last night he had to leave Beiping in the wind and snow, and rushed to Huairou overnight to go to work, that is really hard! ”
