Du gradually dreamed that he was married again.

In the auditorium, which was decorated in large festive colors, he was holding the hands of the women under the hijab and worshipping heaven and earth.

Voices of praise and whispers of blessings to the bride and groom were heard on all sides, creating a joyful and peaceful voice.

However, when he finished worshipping heaven and earth, and just after the husband and wife worshipped, the woman suddenly sneered and pushed him, swung her sword to cut off the colored silk, and ran away!

He was left alone to face the shocked guests and the dragon and phoenix candles on the stage.

Based on the fact that Du gradually was going to be dumped by this woman every once in a while in the past three years, this time he made up his mind to lift her hijab to see what she looked like.

Chased outside the door, there was a wilderness, there were only two or three dead trees, where were there any women?

Looking back at the happy hall, where is the happy hall? The eyes are full of Arhats with broken arms and dense spider webs, which is clearly a ruined temple!

……

Du gradually opened his eyes, looked at the top of the tent for a while, and poured a cup of cold tea rather gloomily.

Outside the window, the sky was hazy, the wind was faint, and a few roosters were heard in the distance.

The mist of early spring and February seems to cover the south of the Yangtze River in the early morning, and the willow branches that have just bloomed are swaying in the wind in the light of the sky, and the bare branches look seven or eight points similar to the dead trees on the mountain in the dream.

He took a sip of tea, and the creak of the courtyard door suddenly broke the silence of the scene.

Cheng Mei walked in through the door, and while walking, the maid who followed the line commanded something, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly saw him standing quietly holding a cup in the open window, and his eyebrows were happy, like a sunny light shining on the mountains, and he suddenly rushed over with his skirt like a butterfly.

Du gradually frowned slightly, left the window and retreated into the house without a trace, picked up a robe and put it on his body.

"Du Gradual!" The door was pushed open, and Cheng Mei broke in: "Ming'er Flower Festival, you go with me!" ”

The girl's voice was delicate, like roasted honey.

Du gradually shook the teacup in his hand and said, "There are many guards in the house, so I will let Zhang Quan go with you." ”

"Who wants Zhang Quan to go with me?!" She was coquettish. Peeked at him again: "How can you take someone casually on such a day?" What's more, I'm still an official lady. I see that your house is too plain, so I'll buy two pots of flowers for you to put on the table. ”

At the Flower Dynasty Festival, it is a custom for women to send flowers to their favorite men to show their love.

Du gradually smiled, paced out of the room, and looked at the sky on the other side of the eaves: "That's not suitable." ”

"How is it not appropriate?" Cheng Mei chased out, "Could it be that my dignified daughter of Zhizhou is not worthy of your little guard!" ”

Du gradually paused under the corridor for a while, raised his lips and turned back: "It's not that I don't deserve it, it's just that I've become a relative." If I receive the flowers of the second lady, it will be difficult for me to explain to my daughter-in-law when I turn back. ”

Cheng Mei's face changed......

"Boss, are you up? Adults have an order to go to the study immediately! ”

The voice of the guard Chen Si broke the dead silence that came from the corridor in an instant. Looking at Cheng Meiru's earthy complexion and the slanted gaze of Du Gradual, he involuntarily took a half step back and scratched the back of his head.

Cheng Mei was stared at more and more unbearable, with a swollen red face, pursed his lips and stomped on Du gradually and left.

Du gradually retracted his gaze and looked at Chen Si: "What's the matter?" ”

The adult refers to Cheng Xiao, the governor of Changxing Prefecture, that is, Cheng Mei's father, and his owner.

"What happened again?" As soon as the words fell, it happened that Yang Chan also opened the door and walked out.

"I don't know," Chen Si turned his head and turned in a direction that both of them could see, "I only heard that an official document suddenly came from the prefect's side half an hour ago, and after the adults saw the messenger, they sent a message to the two of them."

"-I just knocked on Yang Tou'er's door before I came to invite Du Tou'er, the two of you packed up and went quickly."

The words behind the guard were spoken by Chong Du.

Yang Chan stood for a while, waved his hand to let the guards take down, and then mysteriously pulled Du Yan, who entered the door to change clothes: "Last summer, the matter of Chen Tingchen, the head of the household department, hanging himself has not stopped, I heard that there has been news in the DPRK and China recently, and I also heard that someone from the criminal department is coming to the south, my lord passed on us, should it have something to do with this matter?" ”

Half a year ago, Chen Tingchen, the head of the household department, hanged himself in his study without warning, leaving an obscure blood letter at the scene.

Some time ago, there was news that some people in the Ministry of Officials had expanded the scope of examination, and it was also rumored that Jiangnan had also sent several officials to Beijing to investigate.

Du gradually slowly tied his belt: "Collect this thought, who are we?" Even if there is something in the court, it will not be your turn to reach out. ”

Three months ago, Cheng Xiao, who returned from an inspection of the subordinate county government, was attacked by bandits on the outskirts of the city.

Since then, the two of them have been hired by Cheng Xiao to stay in the mansion and become the heads of thirty guards.

A small guard, can he get close to the government?

Yang Chan nodded. Just as he was about to go out, Chen Si ran in in a panic again: "The adults are here!" ”

Before Du gradually looked up, Cheng Xiao had already arrived at the door: "Can you go out?" Be smart! ”

Because the two of them still have the grace of saving their lives in Cheng Xiao, Su Ri rarely puts on an official shelf when he goes in and out, which can be called kind.

This morning, not only was he summoned urgently, but he also looked for him directly as soon as he met like this, and he couldn't wait to find him directly, which seemed a little unusual.

"Don't know where to go? Just tell your orders! Yang Chan responded.

"I just received an urgent message from the prefect, saying that someone from Nankangwei came to Changxing Prefecture to pick up the file, and the person has been here for two days but has not come to report!"

Cheng Xiao said and handed over a letter in his hand, his face was rare and solemn: "I have asked people to inquire about it before, and I am sure that I will live in Tongqing Inn." The two of you are responsible for bringing someone to welcome him into the house! ”

Yang Chan took the letter: "People have been at the inn for two days, and there has been no news?" ”

Cheng Xiao flicked his sleeves and said: "I said that I was here to pick up things, looking at this situation, it naturally means to come to patrol!" These soldiers are accustomed to catching us magistrates and squeezing oil!

"I stayed in the inn for two days before someone came to arraign, isn't this obviously trying to find out something from the 'micro-service private visit' and then use it to knock on my bamboo pole!

"It's the Flower Dynasty Festival right now, there are too many places to exploit loopholes, you go and go back quickly, don't poke me a leak!"

Last year's famine in the two northern provinces, coupled with the constant party strife between the DPRK and China, and the inappropriate measures led to the emergence of troublemakers in various localities one after another.

In recent years, the sea has not been so calm, the Dongying people often harass on the sea, and the generals are already easy to be promoted and reused.

Nankangwei is responsible for guarding Huzhou and Jiaxing, and it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts with local officials, Cheng Xiao does not want to see him in private, but he does not dare to offend on the surface.

Yang Chan handed the letter to Du Yan.

Du gradually lowered his eyes and swept two lines, and his gaze suddenly fixed on the letterhead: "Surname Shen?" ”

"Questions?" Cheng Xiao looked over.

Du gradually fixed his eyes for a long time, shook his head and folded the letter: "No, no problem." ”
