Changying sent Huang Ji to follow Su Xinrong in the morning, and told her to follow her if she went to the dock, and estimated that she would be able to come back around noon, so she returned to the house after the daily affairs in the yamen were completed.

Wu's mother and the cook Aunt Fang bought two lake ducks, asked her how she wanted to eat them, she replied casually, and then Yingbi took out the dossier on the mooring of the boats in Huzhou for nearly ten years, which she had brought back a few days ago.

Prior to the establishment of the Supervisory Department, the wharf had been under the responsibility of the Government Transport Department.

Under the Caoyun Division, there are Propaganda Division, Lifting Division, etc., although the guard station also sent soldiers, but they are only responsible for border defense and do not participate in the jurisdiction.

This time, He Yu was arrested, replaced with a new official, and at the same time assigned Cao Yun to Nankangwei, and he could feel that the emperor was protesting.

On the embankment on both sides of the wharf, there are "collapsed houses" that are several miles long, that is, shops and warehouses built by the government to lease to merchants, and the upper and lower embankments are all garrison defense places for five miles, and these people can successfully steal wood, and only someone at the wharf can release water.

But it is difficult to say whether the person who released the water was an officer and soldier, a person from the Cao Yun Division, or a person from Nan Kangwei.

The two ships that took over the timber also found lacquer materials for shipbuilding in the holds, which must have been stolen and sold to private docks.

Changying didn't want to focus on the dock beforehand, because as long as he found the person who released the water, the rest of the matter would be solved.

She thought about it and got up, ready to go to Tan Shao again.

Wu's mother crossed the courtyard gate and caught up with her: "Did you go back early?" If it's early, I'll drop by and bring some ginger back. ”

The street corner is the market, and when I first came, there were not so many people at home, and I didn't do much to carry vegetables.

She said yes and went out.

Huo Rong and Xu Lan were both in Tan Shao's office.

asked Tong Qi to check the dock, Huo Rong was not only to help Shen Changying, but Huo Mingzhai forwarded the secret letter to the emperor in a much more solemn tone than what he conveyed.

Then again, if it wasn't solemn, there wouldn't be any need for him to come in person.

So as soon as he arrived in Huzhou, as soon as Nan Kangwei took over the dock, such a thing came out, and it was impossible for him to ignore it.

"Here is the roster of dock boatmen, and there are records of the skills and qualifications that they are good at, and Zi Lan will take them back and select them."

Tan Shao took out a few large sheepskin thin books and pushed them to Huo Rongdao. "In addition, there is a roster of craftsmen, the number is huge, and you can't easily use it, so I'll go back and have someone send it directly to you.

"As for the theft of materials at the dock, this matter should indeed be thoroughly investigated, this is a matter within Ruo Wei's duties, and it will be handed over to you and Shen Changying."

Xu Lan nodded: "Leave it to me." ”

The official served the refreshments, and Tan Shao motioned for tea.

As soon as the teacup was served, Changying stepped through the door and came in.

Seeing that everyone was there, he greeted him first, and then said to Tan Shao: "General Tan will approve a note for me first, and I will go to Huzhou Mansion to transfer two files." ”

Tan Shao finished the note and asked her, "Do you want to sit down and have a cup of tea?" ”

"The general has something to order?"

"It's okay, I'm kind to you."

"If there is nothing to do, the general will thank the general first, save the tea for another day, and Mother Wu is still waiting for me to buy vegetables and go back." The long tassel patted the purse on his waist.

The relationship with Tan Shuyin, who often comes and goes in their family, is also very familiar with Tan Shaohe and his wife, and knows that he is straightforward and not an official person.

Xu Lan smiled: "What does Mother Wu do to eat?" ”

"Ginger duck."

Xu Lan smiled proudly: "I haven't eaten lake duck for a long time." ”

Huo Rong held the cup and gently turned it in the palm of his hand a few times.

In his dignified Xu Gongzi's house, could he not afford to buy ducks? Still don't have a cook who can cook duck?

Like him—

"Just their family eats and drinks spicy food every day!" Tan Shao put down the cup and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I haven't eaten Shu Chinese cuisine for a long time, and the child's mother is not at home today, so it's not interesting to eat alone."

"It's better to come early than to come by chance, since the names of her dishes have been reported, why don't we go to her house to eat?

"—Zi Lan, go and try their cook's craft?"

Huo Rong, who was named, glanced at Changying, closed the lid of the uncovered tea bowl, and raised his lips and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Although he didn't think like Xu Lan didn't want to be drunk, he had already helped Shen Changying get water, and he should have come to eat a meal with her.

Xu Lan glanced at him with a smile.

Changying also glanced at him, originally thought that he disdained to be in private with people like her, why, now he still wants to eat her duck?

But there is basically no room for Changying to refuse.

Everyone here is her boss, how can she not know how to do it.

"Then I'll go back and inform Mother Wu to prepare the wine and food, and wait for a few people to come! And then you pack up and come? ”

She had to hurry up and buy ginger......

Tan Shao took out a piece of silver: "Take it, I'll invite it today." ”

"No need to ......"

The money has been lost.

Changying is just fine, knowing that they will not want to take advantage of their junior generals when they are the boss.

Xu Lan stood up with his headgear first: "I have nothing to do, go change my clothes first, and turn around and meet at the yamen." ”

Tan Shao had no opinion, and let the two of them go first.

Huo Rong retracted his afterglow, smacked his lips and put the cup back on the table.

went back to the room to change his clothes, walked out of the door of the government office, and raised his eyes to see Xu Lan standing under the porch.

He dusted off the robe he wore every day, and walked to Xu Lan, who had changed into a well-cut moon-white brocade robe: "General Xu arrived early?" ”

Xu Lan turned around and said with a hearty smile: "I went back to the room early." Men's family, the matter of changing clothes is very neat. ”

Huo Rong also nodded in agreement: "That's what I said." ”

In the end, I couldn't help it, and glanced at him again.

He guessed that Shen Changying would not be able to avoid him when he told him to explore the ship, so he thought that Xu Lan was waiting for him here in order to find out with him what he lied about last night.

I didn't expect him to be quite calm.

But in the end, it was the traces, and the white clothes were specially changed at a glance, and there was a little less of the city.

It seems that Shen Changying's character is not good, and her vision for picking men is not very good.

Xu Lan was not idle.

The man in front of him secretly entered the camp for a few days, and he didn't show his eyes, except that his appearance was too eye-catching, and his physique was too recruiting, and he didn't see where he was eye-catching in his behavior.

But he helped Changying quietly last night, and lied to him afterwards, which inexplicably makes people see that his city is so deep!

To be a man, you have to be open-minded, and you are tired of being tired with a belly full of insidious calculations all day long.

…… The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and Tan Shao came, and while talking, he came to Nanfeng Lane, and the atmosphere was immediately lively.

Wu's mother heard that several bosses in the camp were coming, including Xu Lan, so she immediately added a few more dishes, and then asked Jixiang to buy a big grass carp again.

Changying, who had not waited for Su Xinrong and Huang Ji to come back and entered the kitchen, felt that it was unnecessary, because there were already enough dishes.

Wu's mother said: "I think Xu Gongzi likes to eat the boiled fish I made, and last time, thanks to him for defending you in front of General Tan, I have to let him eat well!" ”
