Early the next morning, Duanmu went to the Taifu Temple as usual, thinking that this day would be the same as usual, but he didn't expect that his buttocks were not hot yet, and he received an order from the officials. ◢ With * dream * small ◢.1a

Duanmu period of the whole person like a lightning strike, can no longer stay, muddy back to Duanmu Mansion, can barely think in his mind, even he himself does not remember how he rode a horse from the Taifu Temple back to the house, how to get off the horse all the way from the Yimen back to Cuiwei Courtyard, how to walk into the east room......

"Master, why did you come back so early?"

Tang, who was crooked on a beauty couch, saw Duanmu Qi come in, and looked at the kettle leak on the desk suspiciously, it was only halfway through now.

Tang made a gesture and sat up, and the two maids who served immediately bowed down and retreated, leaving only the two of them in the room.

As if he hadn't heard Tang's words, Duanmu sat down on a rosewood chair by the window in despair.

Tang Shi saw that Duanmu Qi's expression was a little wrong, and he couldn't help but be a little worried, and called again: "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Duanmu period's eyes were stunned, but he still didn't react at all.

Tang couldn't help frowning slightly, and was thinking about whether to call the chief entourage around Duanmu Period to ask about the situation, when he saw Zhihui quickly pick up the curtain and come in, and walked closer and said, "Third master, the old lady asked you to go to Yongxi Hall!" ”

As soon as he heard the three words "old lady", Duanmu Period, who was originally like losing his soul, suddenly sobered up as if he had poured a basin of cold water on his head.

He Huo Di stood up from the Taishi chair, and Tang also stood up after him, and called again: "Master......"

"I'm going to see my father...... Anything else, come back and talk about it. Duanmu stroked his sleeves, and before he came back, he left in a hurry.

The curtain was rudely lifted by Duanmu and fell again.

Looking at the jumping bead chain, Tang pursed his lips, and had a vague ominous premonition in his heart: What happened to make the master look like this, and also alarmed the father-in-law?!

Tang pinched her handkerchief, her eyes flickered uneasily a few times, and finally turned into a decisive one, and she immediately took steps and followed.

The sky outside was overcast for some time, and the layers of clouds blocked the brilliance of the bright sun, so that Tang's heart was like this cloudy sky, she subconsciously quickened her pace, but the woman's pace was always unable to catch up with the man, and when Tang arrived at Yongxi Hall, Duanmu had already told most of the ins and outs of the matter.

“…… Father, you say, what the hell is going on, so decent, why did the officials transfer their son to such a poor and remote place?! Duanmu said cryingly.

Just hearing this sentence made Tang's heart, who had just walked outside the door curtain, sink a little bit......

Through the thin Xiangfei curtain, you can see Duanmu Xian, who is dressed in Taishi Qing's regular clothes, sitting on the Luohan bed, with a touch of puzzlement on his elegant face.

"This is the ...... I also thought it strange that I hadn't heard the slightest wind beforehand. Duanmu Xian stroked his beard and said slowly, he also got the news of the third son's transfer, so he hurried back to the house.

After a moment of silence around, Duanmu Xian's wise and calm eyes looked at Duanmu Period, and said, "Third child, what do you think yourself?" ”

"Father, I don't want to go, you want to help my son." Duanmu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he was at a loss, "I have inquired, and Ru County, Zhongzhou, has been in chaos since this spring, and there are homeless people everywhere...... The murder of the former prefectural magistrate was the work of those mobs...... Father, son really doesn't want to go! ”

He Shi, who was sitting next to Duanmu Xian, quickly twisted the rosewood Buddha beads in his hand, and did not speak, his face was extremely ugly.

The sound of the maid's curtain sounded, and the three people in the room all looked at Tang's, Tang's face turned slightly pale, and from Fang Cai's words, he had already guessed in his heart.

"Third daughter-in-law, come in and sit down and talk." He looked at Tang and said lightly, thinking of what happened at the birthday banquet yesterday, he felt unhappy, but obviously, now is not the time to mention that incident.

Tang took a deep breath, stepped forward to salute his in-laws, sat down next to Duanmu Qi, and then asked, "Master, I heard a few words outside just now, aren't you going to be transferred to Ru County, Zhongzhou, as a county magistrate?" ”

Duanmu Qi's face became even more ugly, and he nodded.

Although he is only a small master of the Qipin Taifu Temple in the capital, his official position is not high, but he is also a Beijing official, and he is backed by Duanmu Guifei, the eldest prince and the monk's mansion, and no one in the capital will deliberately give him a look, let alone trouble him, his life can be said to be smooth and comfortable.

But Naru County is a small county in the central part of Zhongzhou, a poor and remote area, it is a barren land, since the Huaibei displaced people gathered there in March, the supply of grain exceeds demand, less than a month, those displaced people have become a mob to make a riot, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, so that the people in several counties in the radius are also panicked.

This time, it will be at least three years, where can there be a good life!

Moreover, even if the imperial court has sent troops to suppress it, if the remaining displaced people incite the local people to riot again, it will not be the new county commander who is unlucky!

"Half an hour ago, I just received an order to take my family to Ru County to serve as the county commander...... Duanmu Period's voice was astringent, and his heart was cold, feeling that Ru County was a tiger and wolf den at all!

Bringing your family? Wouldn't it be that even I have to go to Ruxian County together?! Tang's pupils shrank, and his body was like falling into an ice cellar, and he almost fainted.

"Father......" Tang's pleading eyes also looked at Duanmu Xian, and now the only person they could rely on was Duanmu Xian.

Duanmu Xian's face narrowed with a heavy face, "This thing is a little strange. ”

"Yes, old lady." He Shi was also thoughtful, and said, "When will this official's order be transferred to care whether people bring their families or not?" ”

The husband and wife tacitly exchanged glances with each other, and the same suspicion appeared in their hearts: Could it be that this is the official Shangshu in order to compete for the position of the first assistant, so he deliberately wore small shoes for Duanmu Period?

The room was silent for a moment, and the eyes of the mother, son and daughter-in-law were all focused on Duanmu Xian.

After a while, Duanmu Xian finally moved.

He stood up, stroked his robe and said, "Don't be impatient for a while, I'll go to the ministry to inquire and then plan later." ”

Duanmu Qi hurriedly stood up, his eyes lit up, and he said solemnly: "Then it will bother my father!" ”

Duanmuxian didn't speak, and strode away......

He went for most of the day without hearing from him until he returned home at the beginning of the day.

Outside, the sky was completely dark, and bright red lanterns hung in the middle of the house, dotted with bright lights.

As soon as Duanmu Xian came back, Duanmu Period, who had sent someone to guard the gatehouse, immediately learned about it, and Duanmu Period and the Tang couple hurriedly went to Yongxi Hall again.

In the past few hours, the couple could barely eat, and they didn't even have an appetite for lunch and dinner, and Duanmu didn't know how much they sighed.

"Father!" Duanmu didn't care about saluting, and looked at Duanmu Xian, who was sitting on the Luohan bed, and shouted eagerly, his heart beating like a drum.

The He clan and the Tang clan also stared at Duanmu Xian with burning eyes.

"Third child, this matter has no turn," Duanmu Xian shook his head and sighed with a condensed expression, "You hurry up and prepare to clean up these days and take your daughter-in-law to take office." ”

The air in the room suddenly froze.

Duanmu Qi's shoulders collapsed entirely, his face was like ashes, and Tang's face turned white inch by inch......

"Old lady, what the hell is going on?" He asked calmly.

"I thought that the appointment of the third child was the meaning of the ministry, I went to the ministry to go around, even if I can't keep the third child in Beijing, I can change to a better place......" Duanmu Xian said slowly, a touch of helplessness flashed in his deep eyes, and his voice gradually sank, "I didn't expect that this order actually came from the emperor, and this matter will be difficult to do." ”

As he spoke, Duanmu Xian's expression was a little more puzzled.

The riots in Ruxian County have just been quelled, even if the candidates for the county order must be carefully selected, it is just a small seven-grade county order, why should the emperor personally appoint it?!

This matter is really full of strangeness.

In any case, since it was the emperor himself who approved the excerpt, Duanmuxian did not dare to act rashly, and after testing the news from the official You Shangshu, the official of the Ministry of Officials, he could only return with a disgrace.

"Father," Duanmu Qi almost fidgeted, and said in a hurry, "Why don't we go into the palace and find the noble concubine and His Royal Highness the eldest prince...... "Help say Xiang Xiang?"

"The third child!" Duanmu Xian interrupted Duanmu in displeasure.

Since the emperor meant, their Duanmu family not only thanked the heavens, but also went to the inner palace to circulate and let the emperor know, I am afraid that they will think that their Duanmu family is relying on the eldest prince, and they don't even have the holy will in their eyes. At that time, reprimand him for a small matter, if he loses the Sacred Heart because of this, it will be more than worth the loss!

Duanmu Xian's determination has been made, even if Duanmu secretly casts a pleading look at the He family, it is in vain.

The release is a foregone conclusion!
