In the fourteenth year of Yongchang, the nineteenth month of Layue.

It was the time of the ninth cold day, but there was no rain or snow in the land of Gyeonggi.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers and hundreds of officials came out of the Taiji Hall one after another, and Gao Yun's feet fell on the last white marble steps, and he was suddenly stopped.

"Tall man stays."

Gao Yun stopped and looked back: "What does Lord Liang have to teach you?" ”

"Borrow a step to speak." Liang Hengjun pulled Gao Yun and walked a few steps, and Pei Jingyue suddenly appeared behind him: "Where are the two adults going?" ”

Liang Hengjun turned his head, snorted coldly in his nostrils, blew his gray beard and trembled, and pulled Gao Yun to walk faster.

It's just that he is in his sixties, and he is not as good as Pei Jingyue, who is less than fifty years old.

"Why is Lord Liang in such a hurry?" Pei Jingyue blocked Gao and Liang from going: "The two adults are worried about this natural disaster for many years? ”

"Humph! The old decay is not as good as Master Pei who manages the sky and the earth, and there are still high branches to climb. "Liang Hengjun was originally the young master of the prince, and when the prince was still there, he was naturally stable, but now that the prince has died, the Liang Mansion has long been crowded, and Liang Hengjun's temper has never been much better, not to mention that he looks down on Pei Jingyue.

Pei Jingyue's face was sneering, because Yufu's scandal broke out, and the relationship between the Pei family and King Zhao was gradually exposed. There must be gains, there must be losses, the original clear stream is powerless, and now he has taken refuge in King Zhao, and his waist is not straight.

At this moment, most of the officials have left, leaving only a few eunuchs on duty and patrolling guards, Pei Jingyue lowered his voice: "Pei just wants to remind the two of you, if the two of you want to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of that thing and the corruption case in Huainan Road, you must not take it lightly." ”

After speaking, he ignored Gao and Liang, and walked away.

Pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, the lords of the Manchu Dynasty, the local heroes, one ring after another, this matter is too wide, so even if King Zhao doesn't know, he has to find Gao Yun to say a thing or two.

"Humph! Who wants you to fake kindness! When I became a bitch, I still want to set up a torii! In his opinion, no matter how much King Zhao is expected, as long as he is not the prince for a day, the Pei family's position will be unorthodox for a day.

"Alas, why should Lord Liang be angry with him." Gao Yun persuaded.

Liang Hengjun sighed: "Since the drought in Jibei and Jizhong three years ago, the drought has swept across the entire territory of my Daning, and natural disasters follow man-made disasters. ”

"According to me, the embezzlement case in Huainan Province should be thoroughly investigated! There is also the arson case of transporting grain to Jibei Jizhong back then, which should also be investigated! ”

Liang Hengjun was full of righteous indignation, and kept talking: "There is even the eunuch who obstructs the Holy Hearing!" ”

Gao Yun smiled and didn't answer, he was the father-in-law of the first prince, but he didn't want to dedicate himself to the whirlpool of the prince's contention. Lord Liang is a subordinate official of the East Palace, but he is a Zhongshu Ling, he pulls himself and shouts that he wants to be loyal to the country and the people, but in fact, only he can act now.

But why should I be this bird?

"Alas, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go!" Liang Hengjun thumped his chest.

Gao Yun's face changed, and the death of the crown prince Li Jue made the situation even more turbulent, and also made the Gao family prosperous and declining.

But most of the people who cook oil with fire and flowers are difficult to die well, and the Gao family can take this opportunity to hibernate is not a good thing, but it is just bitter for their daughter and grandson.

"Tall man! What do you think about what you think about all this? ”

Gao Yun smiled: "Lord Liang, don't worry, this matter has its own Lord Yan, after all, he is the servant of Shang Shu." ”

Although Daning does not set up a prime minister, everyone knows that the governors of Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province are actually prime ministers and ministers, but because Emperor Taizu served as Shangshu Ling that year, no one dared to take on this position after that, but it is the same without Shangshu Order.

"You don't want to care?" Liang Hengjun was shocked, shocked and angry.

Gao Yun is the father-in-law of the former prince, and he and Gao Yun have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, and he chatted with him because of his respect for Gao Yun's character, but he didn't expect Gao Yun to shirk it.

"Lord Liang's words are wrong, Gao naturally wants to seek his own government in his position, but the two of us are also alone!" Gao Yun smiled unabated: "It's still early, why don't we go and visit Lord Yan?" ”

Yan Mao will be the head of the group, and it is also the right thing to talk to him, Liang Hengjun nodded: "This is very good!" ”

…………

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Xiangzhang Grange in the suburbs of Beijing.

Two of the three simple huts were lit up, and Angelica Bai and Hongdou were sorting out the scriptures, incense sticks and other things used for tomorrow's rituals.

The bitter cold wind blew in through the corner of the window, dry and cold.

The Zihao pen absorbed the ink, Shen Qiutan thought for a long time, and finally put pen to paper, she wanted to write her father's sacrifice by herself.

The twenty-fifth day of September in the twelfth year of Yongchang is Maomao's birthday and the death day of his father.

Until the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month of this year, that is, tomorrow, the twenty-seven months of filial piety period will be over, and the ritual of the sacrifice is naturally indispensable.

The door was opened, Shen Qiutan hurriedly stood up, and said with a smile: "Grandmother! ”

"Seeing that the lights are still on here, come and have a look."

Mother Liu, who was behind Mrs. Chen's Jiang, held a small white porcelain cup, and then put it on Shen Qiutan's bookcase: "The weather in the capital is dry and cold, and the girl drinks some pear soup to moisten her throat." "Originally, she was in Guangling, but she had never encountered such a dry and cold winter.

"Thank you, Mother Liu." For more than a year, Shen Qiutan has been living in Zhuangzi, and his grandmother has never returned, Shen Qiutan knows that his grandmother is doing this to take more care of herself and her younger brother.

As for the Shen family, they have been here a few times, but the old marquis and his two sons can't save face, so Xiao Yang's family went out again, and he began to cry without a few polite words.

Jiang had expected that he would only give silver once, but he didn't give much each time.

Shen Qiutan drank the pear soup and said with a smile: "It's the end of the year again!" When my cousin and cousin come back from the academy the day after tomorrow, our Zhuangzi will be lively! ”

Old Madam Chen scolded with a smile: "I'm afraid I'm thinking about being naughty again, right?" Your brother is a bit more gentle than you. ”

The so-called three-year-old looks old, Xiao Changzhen loved to cry and laugh when he was a child, but now he is more than two years old and laughs less, but he is young, but he has a small face, and others only feel more funny when they see it.

Sending her grandmother away, Shen Qiutan washed and went to bed.

The cold wind was whining outside the window, the weather was dry, and she put a full pot of water on her table.

Last year, my uncle and my grandmother went to Beijing, and the road was not smooth, and it took twice as much time as usual, because there were many homeless people on the road at that time, and the homeless people gathered to become bandits.

Although there is still a faction of singing and dancing in Beijing, Daning is afraid that it is not so stable.

Shen Qiutan felt a little apprehensive in his heart, thinking of the wheat, fruits, vegetables and spices everywhere in the space, as well as a lot of grain, he felt a little more steady.

The cold moon was silent, and Shen Qiutan tossed and turned and finally fell asleep.

Suddenly, the window opened, and a dark figure scurried in.
