Tang'er took a sedan chair from the Old Summer Palace back to his mansion in the old Qihua Gate, and it was already dark. The summer days are long, and the sedan chair looks at the watch by the front light of the building, which has pointed to the right time. Huang Shiqing's family, Cheng Fugui's family, Lao Lai's family, and a few mothers-in-law with heads and faces who were waiting in the courtyard heard the door report that the main mother had returned home, and rushed out and hugged Tang'er in. Along the way, the elders of the two families stood under the lamp and stood with their hands down, making way for them. Tang'er walked one end at the other, and promised them to invite An Fengying, because she asked, "Why don't you see the Feng family?" Wang Xiaoqi's daughter-in-law is in charge of the inner courtyard, and when she asked the old Feng daughter-in-law, she hurriedly smiled and said: "The second son of the Feng family, the little guy who originally came to see the garden, chose the Gaoyao County Order of Guangdong. The next night into the flower hall to greet the master, the master said, "Since it is the day after tomorrow, tomorrow will bring my son in at noon", and he will meet with his wife. So I took a leave of absence......"

"This is also human reason." Tang'er didn't look back, and said as she walked, "This is a great event, and their own family should also celebrate...... Your lord has returned? "It's back!" Xiao Qizi's family replied respectfully, "The master came down early today, and he was the waiter of our house, no one saw him, and he slept in the study for more than half an hour!" Later, Zhang Lao Xiangguo came. Sending away Zhang Lao Xiangguo, another group of people came, there was Master Ji, Yue Junmen, and a few officers of the military department, and my man didn't recognize it...... They went out with their front feet, and Mrs. Neqin came with their back feet, and said that they wanted to see you, and I asked her to come back tomorrow, and wept and went. While having dinner, the old man met with a few foreign officials, and they all went. This time, the old man is talking to a few people from the Criminal Department in the West Study, Le Sanye, Dun Erye, Dun Sanye is in the West Study to catch up with Go and wait to talk! ”

Tang'er was very happy, and wanted to talk to her husband about meeting Qianlong and the Queen Mother, and about the feast. Hearing that Fu Heng was so busy, he dispelled the idea of calling her husband immediately, and saw that she had arrived at the second gate, Qiu Ying and other big girls came out with lanterns, Tang'er stood on her feet and said with a smile: "Tell you good news, the little seven family will tell your man, there must be a preparation-our master Niangniang wants to return to Ning!" This is a big matter for the Fu family, and we must take a good look at the matter of welcoming the car! "Guining?" Xiao Qizi's family didn't understand these words, so he smiled and said, "If the slave doesn't understand, please ask your wife to dial it." Tang'er smiled: "It's my aunt and grandmother who went back to the door - understand?" This matter has not yet returned to the master, you have a number in your hearts, the West Garden is going to be renovated and rebuilt, the main hall will be built, and the royal system will be co-authored...... The silver that should be transferred was quickly transferred from the village, and those that were released were quickly recovered, so as not to be temporarily unlucky......"

Everyone was stunned at first, but now they are all smiling. The first one of Lao Lai's family clasped his palms and chanted the Buddha: "Amitabha!" Heavenly grandmother Avalokiteshvara! I only heard my grandfather say this, and there was a time during the Kangxi Ye period. My mother-in-law and son are blessed to have seen the excitement on the street, and Zhou Guifei's mother's house alone cost 300,000 taels of silver! It's ten times more pompous than the race society! I didn't think I could be blessed to open this eye! Cheng Fugui's family also said: "Our master is not the same as another mother, that is the whole Luan!" Huang Shiqing's family also said solemnly: "Of course! No one can trespass our masters, aunts and grandmothers! ”

"That's it. But the lord only found out tonight, and don't make a show. Tang'er was so excited by them that she wanted to laugh. Thinking of his own identity, he suppressed it more and more, and was as calm as ever. Because he said, "Tell you men to wait in the study." When the lord came down from his errands, he said that I was waiting for him in the upper room—tomorrow in the East Council Hall, the housekeeper on the second floor and above and a few of you were waiting for me to talk—what about Kang'er? Slept? ”

Xiao Qizi's family bowed down and agreed, and said with a smile: "The third master didn't succeed in his husband this afternoon because of the rain, so he called my kid Wang Jibao after dinner." Dare to love that this child is still in the backyard-" Before she finished speaking, Tang'er said: "Mud baba, what kind of tricks are you practicing at this time-call them to my room!" "Let's go with Qiu Ying in. When I looked at the sky with my face sideways, I didn't know when it was already half sunny for a day of lotus clouds, only half a round of the moon looming, and the lights and candles in the courtyard were shining, and the moonlight was not visible at all.

Qiuying accompanied Tang'er into the main room, and invited Tang'er to sit on the bamboo rattan spring stool, and a little girl had already brought foot-washing water. She personally wrung a handful of towels dipped in French perfume and handed it to Tang'er, and was busy putting down the curtain without a little bit, and said: "Mrs. must have been in the palace to accompany the feast, and now her face is still full of spring - this is the icy sour plum soup, you can drink some to dispel the heat first...... This thing is restrained, don't use it too much, Mrs. - parrot, burn another handful of incense under the porch to prevent mosquitoes from coming in! Tang'er drank two sips of sour plum soup, half-crooked on the spring bench, and the two little girls knelt on the ground to wash their feet and pinch their legs with hot water, and smiled at Qiu Ying, who was putting an ice basin on the kang: "Qiu Ying, you are a pig, you are nineteen years old this year, right?" I remember having a baby on the same day and month as me. ”

"What brand name am I?" Qiu Yingteng got off the kang, drove away the two little girls, personally pressed Tang'er's feet, and said: "These acupoints under the knees, they feel sour when pressed, and they can relieve fatigue and pour blood-I understand, don't press too hard to hurt - Mrs. has a really good memory, and I gave birth to a child on the same day and month as my wife, and I am blessed by you every year!" Tang'er was served comfortably by her, and said gently: "Nineteen years old, no one will laugh at me if I don't look for my mother-in-law." You say, which guy in our house do you like? I'll advocate for you......" Qiu Yingteng blushed, lightly stroked Tang'er's back, and smiled sheepishly: "I can't see which one either!" What's so good about marrying a man? I'm just going to have a relationship with my wife...... Mrs. is a Guanyin, I will hold a bottle for you for a lifetime. I won't marry anyone! ”

Tang'er sighed: "The girl who served in my room has changed a few stubbles. Now our family is no more than before, and I am even more reluctant to teach her to suffer. Ming Jue'er matched Master Ji, that was the blessing she bumped into, and it was rare to compare with her. You are a slave of the family, I think about it, first, the capable little girl in the house is released to be an official, and the second is that the master meets a suitable and promising official outside, so he will give you a naturalization and send it out, even these little girls in front of him, they also have to arrange lifelong events......"

As he was talking, there was a burst of footsteps outside, as if wet shoes were stepping on water. Tang'er opened her eyes and looked, but it was Xiao Jibao who carried Fukangan up the stairs and entered the hall. She sat up straight in shock, her face was already discolored, and she asked urgently, "Did you fall?" Where did you touch it? Put it down, can't you walk? Xiao Jibao slowly squatted down and put down Fukangan, when Tang'er examined, Fukangan didn't look like he was injured at all, squeezed his eyes and smiled, and said: "It's Jibaoer who insists on carrying me, and I also want to scare my mother!" Tang'er then put her mind at ease, and looked at the two teenagers under the lamp, both of them rolled like mud monkeys, and even their braids were covered with yellow mud, and they were so wet that they were drenched in water - they hurriedly put on their shoes, went to their son, touched a piece of green on their foreheads distressedly, and said: "It is your Ama's order to practice Buku knives and guns, and my mother has no objection." It's also a time to get around, and the black watch rolls in the mud in the middle of the night! Look, there's a bump here, isn't it? Since you are not injured, you should not ask Ji Baoer to carry you, he is two years younger than you - let outsiders hear, our family is not sympathetic to slaves! ”

"It's me who wants to carry my master, the yellow mud in the backyard is slippery, I'm afraid I'll fall my master!" Ji Baoer was even more embarrassed, with two big bags bulging on the left and right on her forehead, her face was covered with mud, but she was full of spirit when she spoke: "Mrs., don't blame our third master, the third master is studying, and his kung fu practice is much stronger than the second master!" My grandfather carried our old lady, my father carried our master, sent troops to release horses to make meritorious contributions, and in the future, our father will be a military gate, and I will have to follow! What is this backing master? ”

Tang'er became more and more happy when she heard this, and patted Ji Bao'er on the top of her head with a smile and said, "Good boy, I have really grown up, and I know how to contribute to my master!" Qiu Yingming'er sent a message to the account office, and Ji Bao's monthly routine was increased to two taels - take them to the West Wing House, take a good bath, and smear some Zijin Huoluo Pill on the place they touched - go! ”

…………

Here, Tang'er takes care of the housework, and plans for the major event of Queen Fucha's return to Ning. Fu Heng was busy talking to the people from the Criminal Department in the West Flower Hall, and he was afraid that Le Min and the Dun family brothers would be left out in the cold, so he asked someone to send melon and fruit ice cubes to the study from time to time, and he was worried about what Tang'er would do when he came back from Da Nei. A few worries, but also thanks to his good body on weekdays, and his good experience: what to do and what to think, so he still listens very patiently.

There were no senior members of the Criminal Department who were interviewed, only Chen Suowen, the arrest officer of the Criminal Department, Chen Suojian, the official of the Autumn Trial Division, and Huang Tianba, the "No. 1 arrester in the world", who was now an anti-theft observer with three products, sitting next to Fu Heng. There are two other ones, who were received by Fu Heng for the first time, one is Huang Tianba's eldest disciple, Jia Fuchun, the head of the Thirteen Taibao, and the other is Yan Ruyun, who is anti-water and sincere from the "One Branch" sect. Although Fu Heng is a high official and powerful, he is not pretentious at all, easy-going and humble with grace and stability, but he is not ambiguous when he speaks, and he has his own Tianhuang noble demeanor, perhaps because of this, five people sat in front of him for nearly half an hour, all of them were so hot and sweaty, full of ice cubes, no one dared to move.

"Brothers, some of the brothers already know." Fu Heng had already listened to everyone's report on the subtleties of the "Yizhihua" case, and seeing that they were restrained, he personally picked up the plate, asked everyone to cool down with ice cubes, and slowly shook the fan and said: "Listen to such a detailed discussion, and the outline will be clear." But...... In some places, you can hear the sound of the strings, and in some places it sounds incoherent......"

Several people's eyes widened. Indeed, they have something unspeakable. The "Yizhihua" party members rebuilt their networks in Zhejiang and Jiangning, and spread the "Bagua Sect" by treating diseases and administering medicines, and many of the dependents of officials under Liangjiang also believed in funding, and some provincial and provincial officials also asked their followers at home to set up altars to dispel ghosts and catch foxes and pray for blessings. These officials are not hiding. But some things involve money, Gao Heng also sold a few boats of copper to a copper merchant in Yangzhou, and even more appallingly, there are also religious believers in the eunuchs, I don't know who copied out the queen's birthday eight-character jade gold book! It involves the housework of the royal inner garden, and it is faintly ambiguous. When several people discussed, they all felt that the observation was too detailed and unpredictable, because they were all hidden, and they reported it. I thought it was seamless, but I didn't want to be heard by Fu Heng.

"I don't want to ask in detail." Fu Heng stood up with a smile, only said one word and then stopped speaking, stroked the braid in his arms with one hand, gently fanned the wind with the other, and paced in front of the large glass window, as if he was contemplative, and seemed to be staring at the dark night outside.

Nothing is clearly visible from the outside. The lights in the house were too bright, and the moon in the sky was hidden in the clouds, and through the glass, the scenery was hazy, and the vague shadows of the trees between the pavilions and pavilions were swaying, and occasionally one or two lights and shadows could be seen flickering in a trance. I could hear the croaking of frogs in the distance, and it seemed even more silent in the flower hall. Under the gaze of everyone, Fu Heng didn't look back, and said: "Tianba went to Jiangnan this time, don't associate with the magistrate." Liu Tongxun is sitting on the throne, Liu Yong - you only listen to Liu Yong. Well...... I know that Liu Yong's position is not as high as yours, but he is a Qincha, and if he has this article, he must listen to his dispatch. This is one. Second, this time it is specifically investigating Yi Ying's case. If there is a direct connection to this case, it must be investigated to the end. Don't grow branches, seek to be greedy. I'd rather open the net slowly, and be sure to get Yi Ying herself - she has escaped a few times, so it's not secret. This kind of case has to be solved directly by the central government, and the magistrates are too miscellaneous to be reliable. Third, the Bagua Sect, the Red Yang Sect, the Mixed Yuan Sect, and the Yellow Sect in Taiwan are all White Lotus Sects, and Yi Ying is nominally the leader, but in fact, he can't be completely controlled. The case has been solved, and the thin eyeliner that was originally sent in cannot be exposed. Stay there and go undercover. There are officials, officials, and salaries, and they are not selected and evaluated by the Ministry of Officials, but belong to your Criminal Department - but they can't do errands in a special way, only the errands of the Criminal Department...... It is good for these people to stay with them, they can rebel among the religions, and the court has to be wise. ”

Fu Heng turned around as he spoke, probably because he was thinking too deeply, his eyes were dark and green under the lamp, and layers of wrinkles appeared on his forehead. He seemed to be tired, but he was still thinking, his voice was not high, and he seemed a little hoarse, but it was unusually clear: "Liu Tongxun's father and son are good ministers of the state, and they have more than one case of 'one flower' in their hands. Tianba, use all your strength, not only to capture the 'one flower' alive, but also to protect Liu Yong and their safety. This is different from ordinary cases, in fact, it is a battlefield with an unknown formation, and it is not inferior to the Battle of Jinchuan at all - a good errand is done beautifully, I guarantee that you have the merit of the field knighthood, and an earl is stable! And the two of you, in terms of rewards for meritorious deeds - understand? ”

"The lowly ones understand!"

Huang Tianba, Yan Ruyun and Jia Fuchun were stunned by his gaze, and they were so inspired by this meritorious service award that their blood was full of blood. None of them expected that these sect members would be arrested, and the imperial court would be willing to give such a big reward, so they were so restless that they all stood up and responded loudly. Huang Tianba was frustrated and humiliated in several confrontations with Yi Ying, one was resentful and ashamed, and the other also knew that Yi Ying's henchmen were all over the world, and his ears and eyes were very difficult to control, he was a deep and capable person, although he was excited, but he also considered that this matter was not easy to deal with, because he said: "Fu Xiangfang just said, mark it carefully, one is the grace of heaven, and the other is really not easy." Tianba, a man of grass and grass in the rivers and lakes, can be so well known by Xiangye, I can only say one sentence, either I came to see Fu Xiang with Yi Ying's head, or Lord Liu came to see you with my head. There is only one way, if you don't contact the magistrate, you can't use the green battalion soldiers, Yi Ying's party has every village and village, and the people are protecting it, and it can't provoke a civil uprising, with me bringing these protégé friends, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do this mission. ”

"I've already said it, listen to Liu Yong, please ask Lord Liu to cut something off." Fu Heng stared at Huang Tianba with appreciative eyes, nodded and smiled: "He has the right to dispatch the local garrison green battalion." But it's best not to stir up the crowd, it's best to squeeze her right into the city to catch her. The emperor doesn't want you to mention her head, if you want to be captured alive, I don't want Liu Yong to mention your head, I want you to be beautiful and return victorious! His gaze wandered and swept over the crowd, and he sighed and said: "'A branch of flowers' is a down-and-out mother-in-law, who started Tongbai, entrenched in Jiangxi, disturbed Shandong Zhili Shanxi, and lurked in the two rivers, and was the enemy of the imperial court for more than 20 years. In a peaceful and prosperous world, this is incredible. The emperor wants to meet this person, and I, Fu Heng, also want to see and understand. I personally investigated this case. The two old brothers Chen - everything they have seen (Suo Jian) and heard (Suo Wen) can report to me directly! ”

Chen Suowen, Chen Suojian, and everyone all smiled. The atmosphere seemed to be a little lighter. Chen Suowen said: "Zhongtang, the former military aircraft issued an order, the 'Yizhihua' case was only reported to the Criminal Department for an abridgement, and the declaration was not specified. Our top boss, if it's not easy to offend, please say hello to our Dora Shangshu in the middle hall, so as not to misunderstand. ”

"I've already said hello, and he won't ask you again. Liu Tongxun is also the secretary of the Criminal Department! Fu Heng smiled, picked up the teacup, and said, "There are some details for you to discuss, and you can do errands boldly." Take a 'flower', ask for money, give money, give things--if you can't take care of it, come back and forth to me-it's not early, I still have someone to see, so it's not in vain. After drinking the tea, everyone quit one after another.

Fu Heng was exceptional, and sent it directly under the dripping eaves, and everyone said goodbye again, and did not return to the flower hall, but walked to the study in the east. Xiao Qizi saw that it was a seam, handed him a cool towel to wipe his sweat, followed all the way, and said Tang'er's words long and short, Fu Heng listened absentmindedly "Hmm", only to hear that his sister wanted to save his relatives and return to Ning, his footsteps paused slightly, and said: "A few of them are friends in the study, no matter how busy and tired they are, they have to meet - ask your mother-in-law to go in and go back to Mrs., I asked someone to come here, and I will go in after talking for a while." She's sleepy, just rest. Oh, and also, the relatives have already bowed to the law. Tomorrow, you will pay 1,600 taels of silver from the account and send it to his house as a funeral, and do your best to be a friend......" As he spoke, the study had arrived, and Fu Heng waved his hand and went up the stairs. Because it was still lively inside, it seemed that Dun Cheng wanted to regret his son, but Dun Min refused, Fu Heng smiled and pushed the door in, and said, "It's so lively!" I'm talking bitterly over there, you guys are playing chess and eating ice, and you're taking up my study for fun! ”

"The sixth master is here!" Le Min sat next to the chess table, carefully examined the chess game, and saw Fu Heng come in with a smile on his face, he hurriedly got up to greet him, pointed at Dun Min and said, "Look at the description of these brothers, it is still the blood of the great grandfather, the golden branch and jade leaf!" One regretted it first, this time Duncheng wanted to regret, but Dun Min refused. If you don't come again, the brothers will have to fight for this little host! Fu Heng didn't pay attention when he came in, and at this time, the two of them stood up from under the chess table to see clearly, Dun Min was not wearing a coat, the gray poplin was short, and he didn't tie his belt, his braids were full of dust around his neck, and he was holding a chess piece in his hand, and he said to himself: "The world and the law are equal, only you are allowed to regret, and I am not allowed to regret?" Looking at Duncheng again, he simply didn't even wear a small coat, shirtless and barefoot, sweaty, and smiling, and said: "Rong is four years old to make pears, not to mention that you are a brother, not to mention that you are in your thirties, let alone in the Prime Minister's Mansion!" ”

The two of them asked Fu Heng to "slaughter this game of chess with the balance of the world". Fu Heng said with a smile: "I didn't expect that my Qinjian study was robbed by a big chess robbery!" You can smell the smell of sweat and feet, and you can endure it—who's out there? Come in and light incense, put down the gauze drawer, open the bright window, twist two hot towels to wipe the faces of a few masters, and send some ice cubes! As he spoke, he smiled and sat down to watch each of them get dressed and washed.

"Sixth Master, you called us over a long time ago, there must be something important." After cleaning up and sitting down for a while, Duncheng took a piece of ice in his mouth and smiled vaguely, "If you come and don't meet first, it must not be an emergency." - Joke is joke, now you are the prime minister, we are all subordinate members, what is the errand, please order, we dare not slack off. Although others were witty, their words were solemn, with a sincere face, and the three of them sat down and waited for Fu Heng to speak.

Fu Henggang was dizzy in the flower hall, focusing on economic affairs and looking businesslike, and also supporting the façade, when he first arrived at a few confidants and friends, he was so uninteresting, but he felt that the turbidity was washed clean, and his body and mind were refreshed, and he was a little reluctant to leave this atmosphere. So he took off his official uniform, took a piece of watermelon with his bare feet, laughed while eating, and said indistinctly: "I like to be so casual." Min Second Master Cheng Third Master is so good. Le Min is too serious, Zhuang Yougong and Eshan are fake and serious, and Qian Du sees the wind and makes the rudder, all of which are 'fake'. My friends came to my house differently than they went outside, and they had to say that the rules should be small—Lemin took off his coat for me. Eat melons - how can there be so many poor and exquisite! Le Min took off his clothes with a smile and said: "Although I was born as a champion and have led soldiers for a few years, I have also been stained with a lot of gangsterism, the book is too sour, and I have to be a little hilly to fall off my bookbag with the old soldiers!" As he spoke, he grabbed the melon and sighed, and it was a piece into his stomach, and the melon juice dripping down his chin was full of dripping melon juice. He also said: "The two of them are from the Yellow Belt Clan, and I am waiting to see them in the study with a handwritten resume, do you dare to be disrespectful?" ”

"You hand over the notebook, the sixth master dares to tear it up!" Dun Min handed the towel to Le Min, returned to his seat and smiled: "But it still depends on the occasion." For example, if you are asked to go to Ding Jinhui to be the governor of Sichuan, the next official will see you, and if you don't hand over your hand honestly, will you succeed? Lemin smiled: "They can't deliver it!" Li Weixing's rules, when you go up the steps, you have to trot and hand over the notebook, saying that this seems to be courteous, and it is obvious that you came in a hurry on an errand - now the whole world is like this! ”

In the laughter, Fu Heng had regained his composure, rubbed his hands carefully with a handkerchief, and said, "The second master and the third master are not outsiders. The edict has been sent to the military aircraft. I asked you to come to tell you that you are going to be the governor of Huguang, acting first, and then sealing. ”

"Okay!" Dun Min and Dun Cheng jumped up and congratulated, "Such a good thing, the stuffy gourd is hiding from us!" - You've got to be treated! "Of course the guest is invited." Fu Heng smiled and invited Er Dun to sit down, handed Bingpai plums to the three of them on a plate to eat, and said: "Tomorrow, the emperor will meet you in Yunsongxuan, and after listening to the hadith, Ah Gui and I will invite you first, and then you will return to the table." Without waiting for the Dun brothers to speak, Fu Heng continued: "The emperor asked me to talk to you first." Ming'er, I'll go in, and you'll introduce you again. ”

Le Minwen was born as a champion, and he has been practicing military affairs in Jinchuan for several years, and he has already become deeply practiced, and the city government is quite deep, he quickly calmed down from the surprise, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he picked up the familiar routine and perfunctory first, because he pondered for a moment, and sighed: "The sixth master's words are too unexpected, I didn't even expect it at all." My family is an old Manchurian man, and the world has received the grace of the country, and my father died of guilt because he owed a debt. In fact, I myself have been deformed and sinned, and I have been selected by the Holy Lord to be the temple leader, and I have not been promoted again. When I entered Jinchuan to cook errands, I thought that I could build a little hard work, and talk about repaying the grace of God in case of emergency, but the lord of Jinchuan will humiliate the country, and I will be guilty of Lemin's crime, and I will be heartfelt at night, without the strength of the size, and I am afraid and frightened and helpless, and suddenly add this grand grace...... I don't know how to reply to my master, and I don't know how to be grateful for the virtue of the saints. I don't know if I was really grateful in my heart, or if these words moved me, but when I said it, Le Min's eyes were already filled with tears. Dun Min Duncheng was cynical, and when he saw them entering the official situation, he also put on a smile and sat down to drink tea without saying a word.

"You are talking from your heart, you say it well." Fu Heng remained silent, only nodded slightly, and said: "Jin Hui is already vacant, and Jin has not taken care of the case because of it." Otherwise, you will have to go to Huguang. The emperor's intention was to ask Yue Zhongqi and the governor of Sichuan to transfer Huguang and Yin Jishan to temporarily serve as the governor of Ganshan, and then make arrangements after pacifying Jinchuan. Lu Zhuoyuan also went, but he was going to Jianghuai to serve as the river governor, and Li Shiyao was also a candidate, but he couldn't leave for the time being. Because Huguang is the thoroughfare of nine provinces and the gateway to Sichuan, it also has military affairs, so Zhuang Yougong and Eshan are not suitable. I recommended you, and Ah Gui agreed, so it was decided. ”

"Sixth Master Xie recommends-"

"There is no personal affection here, I don't mix personal feelings with state affairs, don't thank me." Fu Heng interrupted Le Min's grateful words, "You Xie Huangen is right, I, Fu Lao Liu, have no authority to ask you to take up this position." But since you are my recommendation, there are a few words from the bottom of my heart, so I have to tell you a few words. ”

"Please show the sixth master."

Fu Heng let the Dunmin brothers eat melons and fruits casually with his hands, smiled and said: "You are the son of Le Qinxiang, he was the governor of Huguang for nearly 20 years before his death, and the bad things were bad in Huguang, and he died in Huguang. The people there will inevitably have a lot of grievances and entanglements with your Le family. Now that you are returning to Huguang to serve as governor, it is almost like a son inheriting his father's business. I'd like to hear what you think about it. ”

"I didn't have time to think about it." Le Min frowned and said, "How many years have passed, what grievances are there?" I don't remember anyone's kindness, and I have no grudge to repay. "Raiding a house is like a feast scattered, and the scraps of cups and plates listen to the group of slaves." Fu Heng smiled and said, "When I was a child, I went to Hurd's house with my master and saw it. Those who strike while the iron is hot, those who rob while the fire is hot, those who push the wall down, those who take the opportunity to set aside a step back for friendship, those who sincerely sympathize, those who secretly sponsor, what kind of people don't? - You didn't have time to think about it, just right, I said don't think about it, I'll think about it for you. The first is that there is no revenge. Second, you have to repay your kindness, you can't use the lack of errand officials to report, you can use love and money to repay it; If you are really virtuous, capable and gracious, tell me, the emperor will report for you. Otherwise, you will not be satisfied with the governor for even a year, and you will have to come down. The way of friends and friends is righteousness. I'm not polite to you. You disturbed Huguang, I recommended you, and I will impeach you - Le Sanye, how about we make three chapters of the law like this? ”

The Dun family brothers have been wandering for a long time, they are all friends of Fu Heng when he was the minister of the scattered rank, and they have always regarded Fu Heng as an old friend, and they have not been detained because Fu Heng was the No. 1 minister of Tianzi. I just thought that he was smart, dignified and elegant, and he was a genuine national uncle, so his luck was soaring. They are all families who were copied during the Yongzheng period. Listening to Fu Heng's words, he was virtuous and reasonable, and he thoroughly investigated the world, which was more real than what he had personally experienced, and he couldn't help but admire and admire in his heart, and wanted to say a few words, but he was afraid of disturbing the conversation between the two of them, so he just sat and listened quietly, sighing in his heart.

"The sixth master's words are the wisdom of the sages." Le Min looked at the dim lights, as if he was chewing a thousand catties of olives, the more he tasted it, the more meaningful it became, and said slowly: "I have read the history of the Tang Dynasty and read Li Mi's words to Su Zong. I don't swear by curses, I only tell the sixth master: Look at me, I will live up to your wishes! Fu Heng smiled: "Husband Yinuo, I can trust it!" There are some military affairs, I don't have time to talk about it tonight, and then you will think about the right thing tomorrow after you go back - Dun Lao Er and Dun Lao San, what are you stunned about, eat melons, eat grapes - and then put it warm! ”

Dun Cheng picked up the grapes and ate them, but Dun Min was just in a daze, Fu Heng let him go again, Dun Min said: "Last time I heard you and Ji Yun talk, I vaguely felt that I had some ideas, but I couldn't understand it, I just heard you and Qian Du talk about the annual donations and taxes in various places, I have been thinking about it, this time I think clearly." For example, Zhu Suo's forehead map Gao Shiqi is like Wang Xifeng, Zhang Hengchen and you in the Qing Dynasty? It's a bit like Jia Tanchun! ”

"Okay, it's better than "Dream of Red Mansions"!" Fu Heng applauded and laughed, "Comparing me to Jia Tanchun, but I am disrespectful and ashamed of it-this big view garden, I can't cook as handy as Tanchun." If there is really a male Jia Tanchun in the Qing Dynasty, I, Fu Heng, will immediately recommend Rang Xian! Duncheng said: "After reading "Dream of Red Mansions", I hate myself for being a man, just look at the book, you know, in addition to Zhenggong, how many good men are there? Jia Yu is a powerful ghost in color, Jia Zhen is a spirit ghost in color, Jia Lian is a hungry ghost in color, Baoyu is a fine ghost in color, and Jia Huan is a stealing ghost in color......" said and laughed to himself, "Jia Rong is a tricky ghost in color, what about Xue Pan...... It's a daredevil! Dun Min smiled and asked, "What about another Jia Rui?" "I can't describe it." Duncheng opened his mouth for a moment, slapped his thigh and smiled: "There is!" This person can be described as a gluttonous ghost. The three of them laughed in unison.

Le Min also likes to read "Dream of Red Mansions", but he is not as crazy as the Dun brothers, because he laughed and said: "They have all entered the magic barrier, and the author is for idlers to break the boredom, so they all take it seriously!" As soon as he talked about the career economy, Brother Yu covered his ears and fled. Have I thought about it, if you don't have the support of the economy of the official career, there is that Grand View Garden Elysium for Brother Yu to enjoy? Xueqin borrowed Baoyu to scold us for being national thieves and ghosts, and we ate Meng Po soup [1]

, and admire him so much! "The brilliance of "Dream of Red Mansions" is also here, and I am obsessed with it unconsciously. In fact, it is a 'treasure of the wind and moon', the positive light is color, and the reflection is empty. If you have shallow experience, it is better not to read it. Fu Heng smiled as if he was losing himself, "Jin wrote to me, he has a woman in Nanjing, who loves the Red Mansion, writes poems and lyrics every day, and wants to learn the twelve golden hairpins of the Red Mansion. Who knew that this woman couldn't find the book, she was so anxious that she didn't think about tea and dinner, she really had phlegm obsession, and she kept saying that she was going to go to the too illusory scene, and her unkempt hair and sideburns cried, "Why did you burn my brother Bao?" 'When all the methods of medicine and prayer are exhausted, they are like water splashing on the beach, and in less than a month, the fragrance will be ethereal. Jin Xinzhong sighed, it can be seen that "Dream of Red Mansions" is a disaster and poison, misleading people's children, and asking the brothers to play on their behalf, please ban it! ”

"Kim, that's a fart!" Duncheng said, "He also messed with Yuan Mei in Nanjing, but in fact, he just had a reputation for elegance, and he couldn't even be said to be a vassal." This incident shows the charm of the book "Dream of Red Mansions", the woman just can't read, and the situation is really respectable and pitiful. Jin is my family's clothed slave, I wrote to knock him on this winter baking head melon seeds, and then dare to talk nonsense, carefully come to Beijing and I will treat him! ”

Le Min smiled: "You are actually Cao Xueqin's protector god!" The sixth master is just talking, where is he playing for this little thing? Having said that, after all, this woman was mistaken by the Red Mansion, and she was really wronged. "What you say is even more ridiculous, you don't know what love is!" Dun Min Zhengse said, "She deserves to die, understand?" There are people in the world who go crazy watching plays, who die of swelling after eating, and who drown in the river, can they ask for a ban on acting, prohibiting the sale of grain, and prohibiting the eastward flow of the river? Oh - the emperor drove back from Rehe, and the people who admired the holy face in Dongzhimen were squeezed to death, is the responsibility borne by the emperor? "Don't dare, don't dare!" Le Min smiled and said again and again: "I can't afford to provoke the third master's sharp mouth!" This woman lives lighter than a feather, and dies heavier than Mount Tai, is it done? - Don't forget, I'm also a good friend of Xueqin! ”

Dun Min saw Fu Heng smiling and yawning, because he said, "Are you going to fight the lawsuit of "Dream of Red Mansions" today?" Last time, Lemin's right hairpin left Dai, the third right Dai and the left hairpin, fought all night! In the teahouse, Qingwen smashed the teapot and scuffled into the street for the attacker. Hey, let me tell you, I brought you a poem, "Dream of the Red Chamber" written by foreigners,—— is not a rare thing? Fu Heng called the two brothers here, originally suspecting that Gao Heng wantonly embezzled the salt tax, and wanted to find out the details of the mountain and sea tariffs. Who knew that talking about "Dream of Red Mansions" was endless. He was very tired, he was already a little sleepy, and when he heard that foreigners had a poem about "Dream of Red Mansions", he stopped yawning for a while, and said with a smile: "Holding back the treasure, I will only be willing to take it out this time!" Let's see! Dun Minyin pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and the crowd looked at the light, and it read:

Rao is Fu Heng's Confucian scholar, Le Min is the champion, and even Duncheng, including Duncheng, are very academic, and when they see these words, they are all dumbfounded. Dun Cheng said first: "This song is tortuous, full of paper crickets crawling, like a ghost exorcism talisman drawn by a Taoist priest, and like a book from heaven, foreign devils can really toss people!" - How do you pronounce this poem, and what does it mean? Fu Heng said: "I've seen this kind of plaything, like the words of the English card." Where did you get it, and which foreign poet wrote it? There must be a translation—do you still want to hold the treasure? Take it out and we'll see! Dun Min grinned, took out another piece of paper from his other sleeve and spread it out on the table, and when everyone looked at it, it was written:

The philosophers are ignorant and unlearned, both deep and sophisticated. The creatures are incomparable, each with its own lips, and it is close to each other. Bandit philosophers, who knows why? Since when and where did it come from? Yuan Yuan knows it, and it is all the same, and it is bustling? May the philosophers speak for the rest of their lives, where did they begin and where did they come from?

"This is poetry!" Duncheng picked it up and took a closer look, suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "This must have been copied from Yongzhong Baylor Mansion, and he invited me a few days ago, saying that there was a missionary foreign monk who asked to see him, and he spoke Chinese, and he wanted to have dinner together." Because I wanted to visit Xueqin's widow with Liu Xiaolin, I postponed my excuse, and I didn't want to be taken by you. What is the name of the foreign monk? Dun Min patted his head and thought for a long time, then said with a smile: "Who remembers a large list of names of more than a dozen words?" I just remember that there seemed to be some kind of 'Bulai', and the Chinese was well spoken, a little awkward—he didn't speak four times—and it was quite refreshing to hear. ”

Fu Heng knew that if they talked about Red Mansions, he would want to sleep tonight, and was thinking about how to divert the topic, Le Min smiled, "I also have a lot of experience in the drama "Red Mansions". I have been unloaded by Jinchuan's messenger, Ming'er has seen the emperor, and handed over the envoy's documents to the ministry, please come to my humble house, and we will break from scratch from the twelve golden hairpins and live all night! I didn't see what the sixth master was like, hurry up and listen to what is wrong, it is serious! The two of them laughed and looked at Fu Heng.

"It's not completely outrageous." Fu Heng shook the folding fan lightly, and said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, Prince Fupeng came back from the camp in the west, and the emperor gave him lunch together, and I will accompany him." King Pingjun said that the Cao family was in deficit, and the proportion was in deficit today. Because when it comes to the Cao family, Fu Peng said that Cao Yin's grandson, Cao Zhan, is a well-known talent today. When the emperor asked me, I said it was Cao Xueqin, who wrote "Dream of Red Mansions". The emperor thought about it, smiled, and said that he lived in the Cao family with the sixth southern tour of the Holy Ancestor, and if he had seen this person, his ears were wooden, and after all, he didn't have time to read it, so he had to find a set to read it. The three of them couldn't help but be awe-struck. Le Min said: "Xueqin's life is hard, she will fall for life, and she will never meet Huaicai." Stay behind you, and the fame will reach the sky! ”

Dun Min was still thinking about it, and Dun Cheng smiled: "How did the sixth master reply?" You have a copy in your house, won't you get it when you go in? Dun Min said: "I don't see it that way. There are some things that it is better to know than not to know. It's better to know a shadow vaguely than to know it clearly......" He also wanted to say, smacking his lips and not saying anything.

"I said that I have half of the manuscript, and the most circulated by the people is only eighty times, and there is no complete copy, so it is not easy to enter the imperial review." Fu Heng didn't have the slightest smile on his face, but he didn't have any anxiety, and said dryly: "Later, Prince Lao Zhuang diverted the topic and talked about the play. The emperor also put his hand away. You are all red fans, and Dream of Red Mansions is not a banned book. Go back and check your manuscripts, and see if there are any violations of the language, and whether there are any offenses against the Holy Ancestors, the Ancestors, and the present. If you have to, quickly close the seams and clean them up, so that you can ask for a book in case of a saint. Then I went to find Fang Qing and borrowed the rest of the manuscript, one was to copy it, and the other was to check if there was anything to avoid. Naturally, I will take care of Xiaolan's side, and you all have to think carefully about the words of the second child. ”

The three of them were silent for a moment. After a long time, Le Min said, "I'll go with the second master and the third master." ”

"It's nothing, don't be distracted." Fu Heng got up with a smile, and the three of them also got up. Fu Heng held his hand and said sincerely: "Who doesn't have a copy of the prince's relatives?" Only our friends, be careful not to overpass. The emperor actually pays great attention to the text, some books, some plays are reported to be banned from performances, and there is no excerpt that has been refuted - I will make an appointment with you in two or three days to talk about the salt tax. It's not to look up anything, I know too little about this, and there are some things I want to ask. ”

The three of them looked at the table clock on the case, and the child and mother needles had been closed back up, and it was already the right time. hurriedly resigned, Fu Heng didn't send it, and was only guided out by the little guy holding the lamp. Turning the moon cave door, I heard the bell striking heavily one after another.

It is rumored that the soul of the dead goes to the Yellow Spring, on the way there is a Meng Po soup to quench the thirst of the ghost, and after drinking, he forgets the past events of his life, also known as the ecstasy soup.
