++++++++++++++++++ the dividing line of Luoyang's trip (IV) (below).

When the spring ploughing returned to the house, he didn't say much, and hurried after putting the tea in the account room. The adults went out of town, leaving him with a bunch of things to deal with. The spring ploughing who was so busy that he couldn't touch the ground, didn't know that after he left, the head of the Liu family didn't know about the concierge incident, but he attracted the attention of another group of people for his master, which is a later story. Let's say that he saw the adult in the study in the evening: "The adult's expectation is not bad, the other party doesn't look down on our tea." The people in the concierge and the account room laughed at us, it stands to reason that the Liu family does such a big thing as longevity, and the people who greet them at the door are all people with heads and faces, all of them, but they don't come out to speak. ”

The prefect nodded, and continued to flip through the book nonchalantly.

"When I come back from Liufu, I will go to the government office to do the few things you explained, and then go to the bookstore to get the book for you, and then I want to take a shortcut to Baicaotang to get medicine for my wife, so I will go out of the bookstore through the back door. You know that the back alley of the back door of the bookstore is connected to the back alley of Yueyanfang, and on weekdays, there are some people who deliver food and water, or do sprinkler sweepers in the restaurant over there. Guess who I saw? ”

The prefect didn't stop flipping through the book, he didn't ask, he knew Chun Geng's temper, and soon heard him continue: "It's Mother Gao, the nurse next to Miss Xueying. Although she changed into a coarse cloth dress today, did not wear jewelry, and walked fast with her head down, at first glance she thought it was the mother-in-law who cleaned in the museum, but we have been practicing with adults since childhood, and we can see through her at a glance with her walking gait. She passed me and didn't notice me, so I followed her a little bit behind me and saw her enter the back door of a courtyard in the back alley. I thought it was strange, I walked around there for a while, and after a meal, I saw her come out, or hurriedly, walked to the West Street, turned to Mao'er Street, and entered a courtyard, and after a while, she changed her usual service, and went up to the West Street to hire a sedan chair and go back to the back alley of our mansion. After watching her come back, I went to Yueyanfang again and figured out that she was going forward first at the back door of Sifangyuan. ”

"Yes, now I know that I have to do things perfectly."

"Thank you, sir, that's not what adults have been in the past few years."

"I'm not home today, is there anything she is doing?"

"When I came back, Qiu Guo said that everything was peaceful. Miss Xueying was just reading books and doing needlework in the room, but later the things to be used for needlework were not in order, and Gao's mother went to Mrs. to get a pair of cards and went out to buy them. ”

The prefect nodded, continued to flip through his book, and said slowly: "You and Qiuguo continue to pay attention to their movements, don't say too much to Madame." Now you go to the Aoki Tea House and ask the shopkeeper Wang to send a message to his master, saying that the wheat yield of Zhimaipo has been super high in recent years, and several large households have made a lot of money in recent years. I try to help him figure out what people are doing, but maybe he should come and see for himself how they make money. In addition, I also trouble the shopkeeper Wang to help us pay attention to these two places. Sifang Garden, interesting. picked up a beautiful woman on the way, and this nurse also knew the first person in Luoyang City. ”

"If Madame knew, I don't know what she would think. Madame has always wanted you to have sex with Miss Xueying. ”

"You know the measure of this. However, Qiu Guo can be asked to reveal a letter to his wife, and the old lady of Xianyang has sent a letter to urge the heir again. Let's just say that I've been getting along well with Miss Xueying these days. ”

"You mean these days?"

"I didn't want to be in such a hurry, I wanted to take my time, and if I didn't stick to my hands, I wouldn't touch her. But in a few days, we may have to be busy with a lot of business, and we have to sweep the yard first, and if it is not as good as she wants, we may not be able to take any further steps. There's no time to spend with her. ”

Chun Geng naturally knew that she was referring to Miss Xueying. The relationship between the master and the wife has always been good, although the wife has been infertile for many years, but the master is not in a hurry to carry the woman into the house. But the lady was in a hurry, and found two rooms for the master. On ordinary days, the master rarely uses them. Since Mrs. Xue Ying took in Miss Xue Ying on the road to Luoyang, she has been matching the master and wants the master to accept Miss Xue Ying. Although Miss Xueying is not as beautiful as the country, she is also delicate and lovely, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and in the eyes of outsiders, she may match her wife and master. But the master kept telling his wife, don't worry, take a look, get along for a while, and make sure that it's really okay to be a person. But now this is going to take Miss Xueying?

Maybe guessed what he was thinking, but I only heard the adult say: "Let Qiuguo tell Mrs. tonight first, so that she can be prepared." Ming'er asked Qiuguo to accompany her wife to Xilin Temple, she always wanted to go to Shangxiang. I'll write a submission at home tomorrow, and you can ask the kitchen to prepare more melons and fruits to eat. Someone brought the fruit, and it would be too shameful not to eat it. You go to the Aoki Society in a while, and ask the shopkeeper Wang to send someone to their pharmacy to get some Shunzi incense and come back, and clean up this study. ”

Spring ploughing was stunned for a moment, it seems that the master wants to start tomorrow? Looking at the master's side face, he always felt that the master had become more and more deep and difficult to understand in recent years, and he was meticulous and thoughtful, but he didn't know why he didn't want an heir. The sons who are close to the master seem to be women, but they have no heirs. Is this also something that can be agreed?

Luoyang's newly arrived prefect Zhou Haizhi is Xinjie's friend Ah Zhi. Born in Xianyang Zhou, the Zhou family was very brilliant in Xianyang during the previous dynasty, and there was once a former dynasty Zaifu, a champion, and two Tanhua. Many of his sons are extremely popular ministers. After the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although he did not become a famous minister, some of the foundations of the ancestors were retained, and the children cultivated and studied, and gradually began to rise over the years. Several brothers of the Azhi family were all born in Kejia and were quite successful as officials in various parts of the imperial court. Ah Chi is the youngest of all the brothers, the shortest time to join the company, but also the fastest rising. This is related to the fact that he was sent by his family to study in the Tang family's school in Wabaozhai since he was a child.

When Ah Zhi entered the school, the Zhou family envied the Tang family school, so they asked the old lady of the Tang family for personal favors, and donated the 20 years of interest from the 100 acres of mountain and woodland to the orphans of the Tang family in Wabao Village in exchange for Ah Zhi's ten years of study in the Tang family school. After Ah Zhi met Xinjie in the school, the two were quite similar. A few years before Xinjie went out to wander with his aunt, he and Xinjie and several other children in the school were like-minded and studied and practiced together. Xinjie has always been a special existence in their group, outstanding talent, perennial perseverance and diligence, whether it is martial arts or academics, they are far behind. Since he went out wandering with his aunt, seeing each other every year or two, Ah Zhi can clearly see the gap between himself and Xinjie.

The autumn harvest that was on duty outside suddenly knocked on the door, and after getting the master's permission, he came in with a letter and handed it to Zhou Haizhi. Spring ploughing and autumn harvest have been by Zhou Haizhi's side for many years, and he knows that the master is deep on the surface and deep inside. In front of outsiders, he is not smiling at home, and at this moment after reading the letter, a smile appeared on his face, which is really rare. I saw Ah Zhi burn the letterhead on the candle, with a smile still on the corner of his mouth, and turned to Chun Geng and said, "You go to the wife's house now to report that I have a friend visiting me in the past few days, and I have a female dependent, and let her prepare two exquisite guest rooms." Be clean and tasteful. ”

Spring ploughing bowed his head, but he was embarrassed in his heart, the wife of the family was generous, and he treated the next person very well, but this cook's pragmatism did not dare to compliment. The taste of tidying up the house is also staggering. It's good to say it's clean, just let the mother-in-law take care of it, isn't this elegant, hey.

"If Mrs. is busy these days, she can let her leave the matter to Miss Xueying. If Miss Xueying doesn't know my friend's preferences, you can ask her to come to me directly. The guests may arrive tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow, and they don't have much time to clean up, so let the wife hurry. Let's start planning tonight. Whatever they want to ask, I'll come tonight, I've been in the study. ”

When Chun Geng heard his master say this, he just buried his head lower, but the autumn harvest was a little surprised, and he secretly glanced at his master. Over the years, although the people who have been waiting for them close to each other know the problems of their wives, they are more or less unworthy of the master, who knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is suave, although the master will also go to drink flower wine with friends outside, but except for the room arranged by his wife, he has never taken the initiative to carry people into the house, let alone take the initiative to deal with women. Since she rescued Miss Xueying on the way to Beijing to report on her work, the master has not taken the initiative to approach her, but Mrs. often wants to keep Miss Xueying by the master's side, The master has not taken care of it, has it been figured out today?

Holding Mai Po Guo's family, the old lady sat on the Taishi chair and listened to his two sons come back from the Liu family's birthday to tell what they saw today. When it comes to the current prefect, the two Guo Gongzi feel particularly funny, and the eldest prince said: "Our new prefect in Luoyang is really wonderful, if you want to cry poor or show integrity, you don't need to go to the Liu family." The Liu family is now a hot bun, how many people are on the pole to stammer, he is good, get two taels of tea to slap his face. Isn't this embarrassing for the Liu family and not for the queen's mother? ”

The second prince also echoed: "That's right, if he uses this hand, usually there are two purposes in officialdom, one is to extort, and the other is to create, obviously his own integrity does not cling to the powerful, and he is fake and high." But who is the Liu family? Blackmail is impossible, clear high, cut, and he does not look at the object. This prince is becoming more and more stable, the Lan family is becoming more and more prosperous, and the Liu family is more stable. ”

Old lady Guo didn't laugh, but was a little gloomy. These two sons, he can't say that he didn't teach with his heart, but after all, his talent is limited, he doesn't understand many things enough, and he lacks vision, just like today, this week Haizhi is less than twenty-five years old, born in the imperial examination, from obscurity from the ordinary small magistrate county to the prefect of Luoyang Mansion, less than five years before and after, each promotion has the emperor summoned to report on his work in person, and in just five years, he has been promoted three times, which is unavoidable for many old people who have been officials for decades. Although the Zhou family is a big Xianyang clan, he has no foundation in the capital, and he has no dealings with the major forces in the capital, but he has sprung up, and the water behind this is not deep. And these two sons of his own family who don't know the height of the sky can't see it, it's really in vain for his years of education. It seems that apart from the fifth and seventh, he can't count on a few other fools. is still the fifth smart, as early as when he received the news that Haizhi might be transferred to Luoyang this week, he arranged the foreshadowing early.
