In the Guan Mansion, Mrs. Guan Si heard the message from the little maid, saying that she wanted her to pack up her things and move, and immediately asked her subordinates to take action.

She didn't want to stay in this smoky Guan Mansion for a long time. Thinking about the fact that Aunt Huang was in charge of the main courtyard next door, she felt uncomfortable. Moreover, she has a docile personality, as long as Guan Lehe makes a decision, she will do it obediently.

But Guan Lehe's housekeeper heard the news and hurried to see Guan Lehe.

"Master, as soon as you move out, the situation of the second master will be even more embarrassing. Originally, the emperor gave him an order, but he has not complied with it yet, and many people are planning to impeach him, but it has not yet reached the time limit given by the emperor, so he will hold it for the time being. Now that you've moved away, those people have more to say. No matter how confused the second master is, he is also a member of the Guan family. He finally became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but after a long time, he was removed by the emperor, which is not good for the Guan family or you. ”

"Since he knows that there is no benefit, he still does this, what does he think of the Guan family, me, and Brother Ze'er?" Guan Lehe said angrily, "Now it's not a question of whether I can move or not, but whether he wakes up or not." If he continues to be so confused, it will be useless for me to live here. ”

"Well, even so, we can't move away at this juncture, can we? It's always bad to be talked about. ”

"I'm not moving out at this time, when will I move out? When he was dismissed by the emperor? ”

The butler shook his head: "Master, you are wrong. If the second master was really dismissed by the emperor, and there is no possibility of recovery, then the courtyard in front of you is where you lived, why did you move away? ”

The ancestral house of the Guan family does not belong to anyone in the Guan family. The ancestral precepts stipulate that this house must be lived in by the person who has done the most in the Guan family.

Guan Zhengxiang was admitted to the champion at the age of 19, and his career went smoothly. Even if the other Guan family members are above him, because they do not serve in Beijing, this house has always been lived in by Guan Zhengxiang. Later, Guan Zhengxiang was promoted all the way, and he was the highest official position in the Guan family, and it was even more justifiable to live in this house.

But if his official position is lifted, without Guan Lehe coming forward, the elders of the Guan family will jump out and let him move out of this house and let him live with the highest official position in Beijing. And among the Guan family, there is only one person who is comparable to Guan Lehe's Zhengwupin, but that person is older than Guan Lehe, and his ability is not strong, but he has boiled up to this level with qualifications, and there is not much room for improvement.

Guan Lehe frowned: "This is not good. ”

"Zu Xun is like this, sir, do you have to take care of your feelings and ignore the rules? If you don't follow the rules that the Guan family has implemented for 200 years, do you want to be a sinner of the Guan family? The housekeeper persuaded, "Instead of moving in and embarrassing the second master even more, you might as well stay here all the time." At that time, it will only be you and the second master to change the yard, let him come here to live, and you go to live in the front, so that he will not be so ashamed. Of course, if the second master wants to move out by himself, that's another matter. ”

Guan Lehe was shaken by the housekeeper's words.

Although he was very cold about Guan Zhengxiang's words and deeds just now, and he was angry and wanted to move out immediately, he still thought of brotherhood in his heart. After being persuaded by the housekeeper at this time, he gradually calmed down.

He let out a long sigh and waved his hand tiredly: "Okay, you go and tell your wife, just say put it down first, don't move." ”

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go out after a salute, when he heard the porter report: "Master, Young Master Ze is here." ”

Guan Lehe and the housekeeper were stunned for a moment, and turned their heads to look at the sky.

At this time, it was already very dark, and it was estimated that the road would not be clear after a while.

Although there was no curfew in the Song Dynasty, there were no street lights at this time, and in order to save some lamp oil, the common people basically rested soon after eating. After dark, it is dark everywhere and it is difficult to see the road, so at this time, there are very few people walking outside.

If there is no urgency, Guan Jiaze will not come over at this time.

"Please." Guan Le said he, and then turned his head and instructed the housekeeper, "You wait here, if there is anything, there is no need to send someone to call you." ”

The butler answered and stepped aside.

After a while, Guan Jiaze came in and bowed, "Fourth uncle." ”

Guan Lehe nodded to the seat next to him, motioned for Guan Jiaze to sit down, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Guan Jiaze told Guan Jiaxing about the collusion with Chen.

Guan Le is not good.

He said, Shi Yun has always been reliable in doing things, why did he make a mistake when he bought a house for Du Jinning, but it turned out that there was an internal ghost in the house.

Thinking of what Guan Zhengxiang had just said, he stood up suddenly and exclaimed, "It's not good." ”

Guan Lehe has always required himself to be steady because he is the chief of the mountain, and Guan Jiaze rarely sees his fourth uncle's panicked appearance. He couldn't help but get nervous, stood up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Guan Lehe is concerned about chaos, just now when he heard that Guan Jiaxing and Chen were in collusion, Guan Zhengxiang kept saying that he knew that the author of "Farming" was Du Jinning. Guan Lehe was worried that Director Chen would stab this in front of the emperor early in the morning.

But after thinking about it, Du Jinning said that the emperor knew about this matter and didn't care, and Director Chen passed the news behind the back of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to the top level, committing a taboo as an official, and when the emperor ignored him, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu wanted to clean him up, and his good days would come to an end.

Thinking like this, Guan Lehe relaxed again, sat down and shook his head, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Seeing the fourth uncle's startled appearance, Guan Jiaze became more and more worried, and asked, "What happened?" ”

Guan Lehe didn't want to say more.

Du Jinning didn't tell Guan Jiaze about her writing "Farming" in person, and before the news spread, he didn't have much of it.

He stared at this child who had grown up with him since he was a child, and asked, "Brother Ze, if your father is dismissed, will you be sad?" ”

Guan Zhengxiang was impeached, and Guan Jiaze also knew about it.

The corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a mocking smile: "Sad? What's there to be sad about? He is in the second class, what is the benefit to me? It should be Guan Jiaxing who should be sad, right? His father has no official position, he is nothing, and it saves him from causing trouble by showing off his power in Taixue all day long. ”

Guan Lehe saw that he said it easily, except for hatred in his eyes, there was no trace of father-son warmth, and he knew that he was afraid that Guan Jiaze would like Guan Zhengxiang to be dismissed as soon as possible.

He sighed secretly and nodded, "Okay, I see." ”

He turned his head and instructed the housekeeper: "Go and tell your wife to continue to pack her things and move early tomorrow morning." ”
