Shi Yuan looked at the letter that was gradually burning in the brazier, and the corners of his mouth showed a touch of contempt.

I don't know why Mr. Lan fell in love with Fu Qing, he is just a little white face, and he has no advantages except for a good word.

The tongue of fire quickly engulfed the letter completely, and Shi Yuan dusted off his sleeves and shook off the paper ashes raised from the brazier.

Mr. Lan wanted Huo Qingzhou, He Gang went to Jinling to arrest people, in order not to make people suspicious, He Gang arrested many people, but unfortunately let Huo Qingzhou run away.

At the beginning, Shi Yuan also felt strange, what kind of means did He Gang have, how could he let a scholar like Huo Qingzhou run away from under his nose?

It wasn't until the news from the south came that he realized that Huo Qingzhou was actually covered by someone from the Zhan family.

Zhan Chen did not really withdraw from the army, but he himself returned to Zhejiang, but he still left 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangsu.

No matter how much He Gang and his Jinyi Wei had the means, they could only stop in the face of Zhanchen's thousands of troops, and Mr. Lan had no choice but to let Huo Qingzhou go to Hangzhou.

Everyone knew that as soon as Huo Qingzhou's feet stepped into Zhejiang, the Taiping Society would be helpless against him.

Shi Yuan couldn't understand why Mr. Lan had to be Huo Qingzhou, and if he couldn't be captured alive, he would bring his head back.

He couldn't figure it out, but Fu Qing's kid pretended to be smart, saying that Mr. Lan was a cherisher, Huo Qingzhou couldn't catch it, wasn't there still Su Qian? Compared with Huo Qingzhou, Su Qian is just one less champion.

Shi Yuan hated that he couldn't scold Fu Qing in front of Mr. Lan, he was self-righteous if he didn't learn and didn't have skills, Mr. Lan had a grudge against the Huo family nine times out of ten, otherwise he wouldn't let people take Huo Sijin away, and he would have to let He Gang arrest Huo Qingzhou again.

After King Qing's accident, someone from the Taiping Society came to pick up Huo Sijin, Shi Yuan knew that these were not Xie Sicheng's people, and he understood at that time that Huo Sijin might not be good if he went.

Mr. Lan wanted to arrest Huo Qingzhou, not because he cherished Huo Qingzhou as a talent, but because he wanted to use him, and if he couldn't use it, he would kill him.

Fu Qing mentioned Su Qian, and Shi Yuan conveyed Fu Qing's meaning to Mr. Lan, but he didn't expect that Mr. Lan actually agreed.

This surprised Shi Yuan, but Fu Qing was complacent, Shi Yuan knew in his heart that Fu Qing wanted to show himself too much in front of Mr. Lan.

But what is Su Qian's use to Mr. Lan? Shi Yuan was puzzled.

Fu Qing said in the letter that he had caught Su Qian's handle and asked him to send him a few helpers, Mr. Lan had already had a secret order to let Shi Yuan cooperate with Fu Qing, and now Fu Qing has a person, Shi Yuan can only give it to him.

A few days later, a few people went to Fu Qing's side, and Shi Yuan also got the vacancy in the Ministry of Officials.

Mrs. Shi is not a person who is good at housekeeping, Mrs. Shi's children are still young, and her mind is on the child, Mrs. Shi can't bear to let her help, and Mrs. Shi is always rude to her mother-in-law and maids, Mrs. Shi is not used to it, she admires Taoist inaction, and also applies inaction to the management of the back house, so that people can do things spontaneously and love labor from the bottom of their hearts.

So the Shi family was kind, humble and sensible, although the weeds in the garden were half a person tall, and although the supplements in the kitchen could run away with their own long legs when they were placed in the cabinet, Mrs. Shi was still very satisfied.

Shi Yuan occasionally complained, if he had too many things outside, not to mention that the people below were also smart, no one would put their hands on his head, and Shi Yuan wouldn't ask if he couldn't see it.

Shi Yuan's younger brother Shi Yun, who was born in Shujishi, went to the Ministry of War to serve as a minister after disbanding from the Hanlin Academy two years ago.

Although the official position is not high, this position is also stared at by many people, and it is not difficult for Shi Yuan to find an errand for his younger brother.

Today, Shi Yun came back from the yamen early, although Henan is still fighting, but there is nothing to do in the yamen of the military department, and it is very leisurely.

Shi Yun originally wanted to walk on the street, it was almost the New Year, he wanted to buy a few clothes for his wife and children, but he had not yet split up, and in front of his brother and sister-in-law, it was inconvenient for his wife to use the money in the public to buy the children.

But halfway down the road, I saw a commotion on the street, and when I asked, I learned that the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were searching for Qin criminals on the street, and the roadside vendors cleaned up their stalls one after another, and the shops also lowered their door panels and closed early.

Since the last time the Imperial Forest Army did not catch He Gang, the criminal Qin was arrested in the capital for three days, but He Gang and his subordinates were not caught, but a lot of unrelated people were arrested.

When it comes to arresting people, how can the second ancestor of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division compare to the people of Jinyiwei, if Jinyiwei wants to arrest people, it is really arrested, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is bluffing, taking the opportunity to collect money in the name of searching for Qin criminals. Good people were arrested, and the family members were going to dredge up, one hundred taels of silver for one person, and one thousand taels for ten people.

Shi Yun didn't have the heart to go shopping anymore, so he hurried home.

I heard that the second wife reprimanded the people in the kitchen a few words today, and was advised by the eldest lady without saltiness, and the second wife was unhappy and sulked in the house with the child.

After Shi Yun heard about it, he could only shake his head helplessly, he couldn't interfere in the matter between concubines.

Shi Yun had nothing to do, so he wanted to walk around the house. Shi Mansion is not big, Shi Yun walked to the kitchen, he doesn't come to this place on weekdays, and today he somehow transferred here.

He was about to go back the way he came, when he stopped.

He saw a woman walking towards him, and as if she was happy about something, she laughed as she went, laughed and laughed, and when she looked up, she met his eyes.

Shi Yun was stunned, he felt that this woman was very familiar, very familiar.

The woman combed her round bun, wore a royal blue cotton robe, and tied a two-fingered silk around her waist. In his twenties, he has a white and pure melon seed face, and his facial features are so delicate that he looks like a beauty walking down from a picture of a lady with a pen.

When she saw Shi Yun, she was also slightly stunned, and then she smiled, Shi Yun was stunned, how could anyone laugh so charmingly, that smile seemed to laugh into his heart, he couldn't help but open his mouth and muttered, "Are you the third lady?" ”

Hua Sanniang bowed her knees: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but the demeanor of the second master is still ...... Sanniang is already old. ”

"Where, where are you old and yellow, you are no different from before...... Aren't you going back to your hometown? When did you come back? ”

A few years ago, Shi Yun also saw Hua Sanniang in his own back garden, Hua Sanniang is a big yard selling fish, big families are letting people come to deliver fish, come and go, Hua Sanniang and the mother-in-law in the Shi family's kitchen are familiar, if it is another family, it will not let the fish send directly into the kitchen, but the Shi family leaks like a big sieve, Hua Sanniang often goes in and out of the Shi family, and it was at that time that Shi Yun looked down on.

Shi Yun is a righteous gentleman, and even the two rooms are brought by his wife's marriage, and for the first time in his life, he is interested in a woman outside his yard, which is Hua Sanniang.

It's a pity that she didn't even touch her little hands, Hua Sanniang left, it is said that her husband is not in good health, and it is too difficult to make a living in the capital, so he wants to go back to his hometown.

For this reason, Shi Yun also suffered from gains and losses for a few days, the mother-in-law in the kitchen had seen him talking to Hua Sanniang, so he gossiped, and came and went, these words reached the ears of the eldest wife, the eldest lady was very sad, she was such a virtuous and virtuous sister-in-law, but she didn't know that the little uncle was so sad, so she asked the second wife to persuade for an hour, and the second wife was very unhappy, or opened her face to a maid in her house and sent it to Shi Yun.

Shi Yun didn't want it, the maid had a big round face and small eyes, and it was said that she was a very virtuous person, just like his other two rooms, she was very virtuous, and she looked like she was carved out of a mold.

Not only did Shi Yun not ask for it, but he hadn't touched the two of them since then, but he was much closer to the second wife.

It's just that he didn't expect that the beauty that was once at his fingertips now appeared in front of him again.

Shi Yun only has one idea, this time he can't let her run away, since the man in Hua Sanniang's family is a poor ghost, then maybe he can sell his wife for a few taels of silver, so let him buy it.
