After all, the two are not a party, although they are both worried, but at the moment it is just speculation, so they don't talk about anything.

Fan Yaochen hurried back to the government office.

He had already taken over the task of dredging the canal, so he had to figure out what was wrong with it. The water prison did not get the red approval of the Chinese book, so he used the self-created "Junchuan Loquat" to dredge the canal, and he also caused a lot of life, which made him really dissatisfied.

This thing is not big, but it is not small, if it is not Zhang Hu, who is not the person who causes trouble, where can it be so tricky?

Let's see that everyone is hiding from the hosting this time, Xu Shijian refuses to accept it, Huang Zhaoliang refuses to accept it, it is Sun Bian who is about to jump up when he sees Oil Xingzi, and he also buries his head and pretends to be stupid.

But after all, someone has to do it.

You don't want to touch it, I don't want to touch it, let that Zhang Hu mess around in it, and when the spring and summer floods come, how can the dikes of the Huang and Bianhe rivers be saved? Once there is an accident in the Bianqu, not only will Gyeonggi be in trouble, but when the flood is discharged, it will definitely be done in order to protect the Jingshi, and how many people in the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River will be displaced?

Fan Yaochen was born in poverty, he had suffered from flooding, and he almost died at a young age, especially if he couldn't see such a thing.

Even if he knew that Zhang Hu would not get into trouble as soon as he was next to him, he could only face the difficulties.

Thinking of this, Fan Yaochen couldn't help but think of the good coming of the first emperor.

When Zhao Rui was there, although he was indecisive, he had always accepted good words, did small things, and asked the opinions of the courtiers around him.

Now that the Empress Dowager Zhang has been replaced, although her temperament is resolute, and her ability alone is much stronger than that of the previous emperor, she is stubborn and self-serving, and once she has made up her mind, she will not listen to persuasion.

Fan Yaochen originally disliked the cowardice and incompetence of the former emperor, but he was still suspicious, mixing different theories with one hand, and playing annoyingly, but compared to the present, he actually felt cowardly and incompetent, and there was nothing wrong with it.

I am not afraid of incompetence, but I am afraid that if I have ability, I will not be able to listen to advice.

Zhang Hu's conceited self-ability is really the same as that of Empress Dowager Zhang. It's just that the former's ability is limited, while the latter has a lot of experience, a wide range of knowledge, and strong means, so he has to make his own decisions.

But who in the world can understand everything?

It is said that there is no need to suspect people, and there is no suspicion in employing people. If you use people like this, and you have to follow your own instructions, sooner or later you will have to hit ghosts.

***

Because he didn't want to make a decision on official business, he had already left the government, but Fan Yaochen was still more than two hours late.

Back at the house, Fan Jiang was waiting for him to eat.

The Fan family does not pay attention to food and sleep, and the husband and wife often discuss the major matters of the family at the dinner table, but on this day, Fan Yaochen lowered his head and kept silent, and he chewed a mouthful of food in his mouth for a long time and did not swallow it.

He held a bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, and he sat there as motionless as a mountain.

The old husband and wife, Fan Jiang was still distressed in the end, so he took a chopstick fish belly meat from the table and put it into her husband's bowl, and persuaded: "After a busy day, it's not bad at this time, first eat your stomach full, and then think about the rest, otherwise where is the strength?" ”

Fan Yaochen came back to his senses at this time, smiled, and picked up the dishes in the bowl and ate them.

He was absent-minded, and naturally he didn't know how to eat, but that mouth was not iron and copper, and after a while, his roof of his mouth hurt, and even his tongue was pricked, so he hurriedly pulled out a very thick broken thorn from the fish.

The broken thorn was about an inch long, and when pinched on the hand, it was about the thickness of a child's finger.

Fan Yaochen was taken aback, and when he looked up, he saw a long plate on the table, which was filled with half-bellied fish, which was ordinary, but the fish was ridiculously big, which was really the only one in Fan Yaochen's life.

He and his wife are both from a cold background, in terms of food and clothing, although they are not thrifty, but they are definitely not extravagant, such a big fish, don't say that you can't see it on weekdays, but you see it, how can his family buy it?

It was Fan Yaochen who pinched the thorn, not caring about the smell of rust in his mouth, and asked first: "Where did the fish come from?" Who sent it? ”

There was a hint of questioning in his tone.

Fan Jiang's kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he suddenly felt that it was better to feed the dog with that piece of meat, and said angrily: "What's the matter, if you eat something good at home, you can only send it to others?" ”

He said: "Yes, yes, only you are a clean official who is dedicated to the people, I am an ignorant dregs, I see rare things sent by others, and I have no face or skin to collect them!" ”

Fan Yaochen was also speechless for a while, and hurriedly said: "It was me who was wrong, seeing that this fish is big, and knowing that Mrs. has never been such a big spender, I just feel strange, and I made a mistake for a while." ”

Fan Jiang didn't take it seriously, and muttered a few more words, before he said: "It was sent by Xiufu, and the kid said that when he came, he saw a fish cart on the royal street, and many people gathered around to buy it, and the price was not too expensive, so he picked one and asked someone to send it." ”

He also said: "He is currently on an errand in the academy, and he doesn't have any oil and water, because I am afraid that he is reluctant, I specially asked the kitchen to go to the street to ask, and it is really not expensive, although it costs more than 100 wen a catty, our house is not unaffordable." ”

Speaking of this, she didn't forget to bring two sentences of the deed, and said: "Although he said that he did something wrong in the past, but he changed it this morning, how can he say that he is also a son-in-law, and now that Zhenniang's daughters have been born, he is still so considerate, such a person, where else do you want to find it?" But if you can take a hand, it's better to watch him! ”

Vaguely, referring to the original Yang Yifu's misappropriation of raw paper in the academy, he helped him beat the side drum inside and outside the words.

However, to her disappointment, her husband seemed to be deaf, only opened his eyes, and said in surprise: "Such a fish, only more than 100 Wen a catty??" ”

Fan Jiang nodded.

Fan Yaochen's brows furrowed suddenly, and he asked, "Look at such a big one, how can it be so cheap?" ”

Then he asked, "Is this a carp, and how big is it when it lives?" ”

Fan Jiang heard it strangely and said, "What's wrong with you today?" ”

In the end, I called the kitchen man.

The cook soon arrived, stood down, compared the size with her two hands, described it, and said, "...... Although I didn't weigh it on the scale, I am afraid that there are thirty or forty catties according to the slave family......"

He sighed again: "The slave family has been in the kitchen for twenty years, and I have never seen such a big carp!" I heard that the Yellow River is thawing, many big fish have not escaped to the net, recently there are often people to transport big fish to sell, this month, the price of fish has fallen by half! In the past, it was difficult to grab ten catties of big fish, and they were all wrapped in the restaurant, but now twenty or thirty catties of big fish, as long as you go early, you can buy them every day. ”
