Zhan Yu smiled at Mrs. Jiang and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, my grandson will be eighteen years old in a few days, and what grandmother is worried about will soon be settled." He was breezy and calm, hoping to comfort Mrs. Jiang's worried heart.

At this time, Zhan Zhen opened his mouth and said, "However, don't do something you don't want to do just for your grandmother's happiness." He paused and said, "Grandfather knows that there are many daughters of dignitaries and nobles in Yuanjing City who have taken a fancy to you, Xuan'er, you have to remember that our general's mansion does not need to please or attach itself to anyone, so don't think about weighing the pros and cons, you can be happy yourself." He looked at Zhan Yu, and the words behind him were almost word-for-word, hoping that he would follow his heart.

It's just that Zhan Yu has never heard his frizzy and stern grandfather say these words, he was a little shocked, but his heart was full of warmth, he smiled happily, nodded to Zhan Zhen, and said, "What grandfather said, Xuan'er will never forget."

Zhan Zhen nodded with satisfaction, reached out and patted him on the shoulder twice, his eyebrows and eyes were full of satisfaction for Zhan Xuan. Their war family has always been based on their own joy or not, if they are unhappy, they are married to a princess, and their lives are also sad.

Zhan Yu smiled, stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of chicken shreds with chopsticks for Mrs. Jiang and General Zhan, and the three members of the family finally finished the meal with their own hearts.

There is another place similar to the loneliness of the General's Mansion, Wutong Lane in Yuanjing City.

Originally, there was heavy snow in the year, and here, the heavy snow was like a huge white palm pressing down on this three-entry courtyard. This place is different from all over Yuanjing, there is no trace of New Year's flavor here, and even the human smell cannot be seen.

Song Yujing is the only one here, drinking alone in front of the portraits on the wall, the osmanthus wine is not strong, but it still falls down his throat like a sharp knife, which is both bitter and painful.

He looked at the four portraits on the front wall, suddenly knelt down, kowtowed heavily, the corners of his eyes were dry, but his back was lonely,

"Grandfather and grandmother, father and mother! Children are not filial! He was in agony, and the bitterness of his stomach welled up in his throat, and he sat down on the ground again, and took the bottle and poured it into his mouth, losing his usual elegant appearance, and the cold wind poured in from outside, leaving only a room of vicissitudes.

Mao Chen is outside, Mao Si is also outside, and Mao Shen has just returned from Jiangnan. More than half a month, Mao Shen has returned from Jiangnan, but he hesitated whether to go in to report. After all, the year of integrity is over, and the family is reunited, but this is the most painful moment for the master.

"Maoshen, come in."

Mao Shen paused and followed Song Yujing's words and went in.

"Master." Mao Shen lowered his head, not daring to look at Song Yujing's appearance sitting on the ground at this time.

Song Yujing's voice was hoarse: "How did you check?"

Mao Shen: "Ma Dao studied under the most famous Confucian in Jiangnan, and his family is also a well-known scholarly family in Jiangnan, and his subordinates did not find anything else. It's just that the Ma family suddenly dismissed many house slaves, and the subordinates inquired, and it turned out that some of the Ma family's trading shops were suddenly burned down. ”

When Song Yujing heard this, he said "um" and stopped speaking, and Mao Shen, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know what the master meant. had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "In the past few days, the news should have also been sent to the student garden where Ma Dao lives."

Song Yujing's eyes were calm: "The matter of the burning of the Ma family's shop, can the government find out?"

Mao Shen: "The government ruled that it was a fire, but the Ma family defended that it could never be a fire, because there was nothing flammable in the shop." He paused and said, "Later, my subordinates went to investigate and found that the county order had received the silver of a first-class merchant, and deliberately sentenced the Ma family to be a fire."

"That Jia Shang, I heard that there is a feud with the Ma family. A few days ago, Najia Shang wanted to ask Ma Dao's father to teach his son. But the Jiashang was arrogant and domineering with some money, and often bullied the neighbors, Ma Dao's father was unwilling, and angrily accused the Jiashang of bullying people together with the county order, so there was such a thing. ”

Song Yujing: "Disclose this matter to Xu Zheng and ask him to help investigate."

It turned out that after the last incident, Xu Zheng remembered Song Yujing's kindness, and went back and forth in Wutong Lane, and the two became friends. According to Xu Zheng's upright temperament, if he knows about this, he will never let it go. In particular, there are cases of officials taking bribes.

Mao Shen: "Yes!" The words fell, and he immediately flew away.
