Autumn is coming, the dog days have passed, and in July, there is already a coolness.

On the wharf of the Weicao River in Tianjin, the river breeze brings up waves. The sound of the river hitting the riverbank was heard far away into the city of Tianjin.

Song Qing stood at the pier and watched one after another Jiangsu gang boats being surrounded by river pacesetter boats, driven to both sides of the Cao River, and the sailors on board were escorted off the boat. The river pacesetters rushed onto the boat like a tiger and wolf, and checked out the smuggled goods carried on the boat one by one.

Song Qing turned over his horse and went all the way back to Cao Song Mansion by the Haihe River. The peony flowers in the jade pot under the root of the wall were already in full bloom, and he turned into the left courtyard, "Has my aunt returned home?" ”

"If you go back to your grandfather, your aunt and grandmother have just come back from the Hezong Mansion."

Dao Sheng heard Song Qing's voice and hurriedly greeted him, "Master." ”

Song Qing entered the house, and Dao Sheng said while changing clothes: "The full moon banquet in the Hezong Mansion is lively today, and the ladies in all the mansions in Tianjin City have sent congratulatory gifts, and Lord Chen is holding the child and smiling from ear to ear. Although she is a daughter, Lord Chen only got her in his thirties. "I took a horse coat," It's cold, add a coat. ”

"What's the name?"

"I took a boy's name, called Chen Li. In the future, I will also invite the Master to be raised as a boy. Dao Sheng chuckled lightly and buttoned Song Qing's shirt, "While Lord Chen was talking, he was already waiting to recruit his son-in-law.

Daosheng said this, and looked at it carefully, "This time I went to congratulate the Tianjin officials and businessmen, except for the master-"

Song Qing sighed. "Don't worry. I wasn't the only one who didn't go. The people under the Eighth Master Sect have all stopped. These are eye-catching things. It's better to go less. ”

Shengfu made a cup of hot tea. "Cui Qian is the first to ...... to the ground"

Song Qing shook his head. "He's different. He wasn't here to rejoice, either. "Take the tea from the Dao Shengdi." This is also the first time he has gone out of the house to see a guest after he recovered from his injury. ”

In the capital. Riding a fast horse, he quietly walked out of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion. Out of Chaoyang Gate. Go straight to Tianjin Wei. The horse's hooves brought up wind and dust everywhere. Roll up the fallen leaves on the official road.

In the back house of the river yamen. The door to the inner chamber was closed. Shut out the autumn cold. Qi Su Niang had just finished feeding Chen Li. Chen Yan walked around the house with his daughter in his arms, smiling on his face. Tease her to talk. "Daddy ......"

Zhi'er walked in. Hear that. Porphyry laughed out loud.

Qi Su Niang said angrily: "She hasn't grown up for a month, what do you want her to call?" She had just been breastfed, and she was carefully provoking her to cry. ”

Chen Yan kissed Chen Li's pink face heavily, and said triumphantly: "That's someone else's child, my child's is not an ordinary Huicong." I teach her every day, and she must speak before other people's children—come, call Daddy—"

Qi Su Niang was helpless, so she had to ignore it, turned her head to Zhi'er and said, "Then Li's nurse is from a good family?" ”

"Grandma rest assured, the slave maid has been verified, it turned out that the daughter of the scholar family fell to Yang Liuqing's husband's house and gave birth to a son, Fang Yueyue."

Qi Su Niang sighed, "Let her bring her son over, and raise some milk together, so that she won't be a mother and leave the child." ”

On the other hand, Chen Li, who came to this world for a month, seemed to be accustomed to her father's self-talk, she was full of milk, and she felt sleepy, spitting and blistering, and fell asleep by herself.

Chen Yanzheng spoke energetically, seeing that Chen Li was not moving like a mountain and taking a nap, the more he became happy, and while patting her gently, he walked to the side of the bed and whispered to Su Niang: "Su Niang, Sage Yun, quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit, Li'er cries when she should cry, and sleeps when she doesn't cry, it's really extraordinary-"

Qi Su Niang couldn't cry or laugh, "Whose children don't cry when they're hungry and sleep when they're full?" Reaching out to hug Chen Li, Chen Yan hugged his daughter and refused to let go, "You rest, I'll hug her." ”

"Put her to bed." Qi Su Niang gritted her teeth and twisted Chen Yan, and said in a low voice: "I didn't listen to the nurse, if you are used to being held, you won't be able to sleep well in bed in the future." ”

Chen Yan hurriedly said: "If she likes it, I will sleep with her every day-"

Qi Su Niang said annoyedly, "You have to do office work every day, where is the leisure-"

Chen Li seemed to be noisy, frowned and screamed, and a small hand grabbed Chen Yan's face impatiently, Chen Yan and Qi Su Niang suddenly stopped, held their breath quietly, and looked at their daughter together.

Seeing that Chen Li twisted his little body and fell asleep again, Chen Yanfang dared to exhale quietly, and finally reluctantly put his daughter by Qi Su Niang's side.

Qi Su Niang covered Chen Li with a thin quilt, Chen Yan sat down on the edge of the bed, and patted Chen Li gently, "Ming'er, I will personally go to Dahong Temple, as well as the Tianfei Temple outside the east gate, and ask for a peace charm for the child." ”

Qi Su Niang looked at Chen Yan and slowly held his hand, "How many years have you been thinking about it?" ”

Chen Yan smiled slightly, "When I got married to you, I thought that if I gave birth to a daughter, would I be like you in the future, and call my betrothed husband on the street to call a boy——"

Qi Su Niang was stunned, her face turned red, and she was laughing and annoyed, "I didn't know it was you-besides, the eighth master was asking me at that time-" Speaking of this, Qi Su Niang couldn't help but sigh and looked at Chen Yan, "Brother Chen, how is the situation on Lord Cui's side?" If he can withdraw and retreat—" his face darkened, "The eighth master will not tolerate it." ”

Chen Yan stretched out his hand and hugged Qi Su Niang, wanting to comfort him, but his heart was like Qi Su Niang, so he could only sigh, "It's too late now, he is too peaceful......"

Qi Su Niang was weak after giving birth, and she was already a little sleepy, so she was coaxed by Chen Yan, so she also lay down and fell asleep.

Chen Yan was covering Qi Su Niang with the quilt, when he heard the knock on the cloud board outside, and knew that it must be urgent, so he opened the door of the inner room lightly.

A gust of autumn wind poured in, with a deep coolness, Chen Yan shivered, turned around and walked to the bedside, folded the quilt for his daughter, put down the bed tent, and hurried to the front office.

"My lord, the fourth master sent a letter." Zhou Xiangtian looked sad and presented the letter.

Chen Yan folded the letter and sat at the desk to read it carefully. Zhou Xiangtian carefully looked at his face, he was still calm at first, and he didn't know where to look, and his face was a little hesitant.

Zhou Xiangtian saw that Chen Yan slowly accepted the letter, speculated about the reason for the letter from the thirteenth master, and said slowly: "My lord, the fourth master is here, I'm afraid it's about the Jiangsu Cao Gang?" ”

Chen Yanyou was pondering, and just nodded.

"What are you going to do?

The autumn wind blew outside the study, and the water of the Cao River was far away

It came in the wind.

"It is a violation of the law for each ship to carry more than 70 stone of smuggled goods in the transportation." Chen Yan raised his head and looked at Zhou Xiangtian, "Since the fourth master opened his mouth, let the Jiangsu gang leader come to Tianjin to get the ship." Chen Yan said lightly.

Zhou Xiangtian's face changed slightly, and he wanted to say something but held back. He thought about it in his heart, but he finally didn't want to ignore it, and said, "My lord, can you hand over the letter of the thirteenth master to the next view."

Chen Yan sighed, stood up and sent the letter out, "Sir, please see." ”

Zhou Xiangtian hurriedly opened the letter and looked at it, and suddenly sighed softly, "No wonder the lord concluded that the Jiangsu Gang would definitely invest in the fourth master's subordinate such a promise, and the Jiangsu Gang would not be in his hands." ”

The sound of the waves of the Cao River: The sound of the wind gradually became louder, and the sound of the "evil promise" of the river man pulling the boat was sad and hoarse, and could not be stopped.

Chen Yan nodded, "I know that the Jiang Gang Leader has a lot of ambitions, and I also know that I know very well that if there is no good price code, no one can move him, but the fourth master's words are enough to move his heart." After that, he got up and wanted to go out of the house and go back to the back house to accompany his wife and children.

Zhou Xiangtian can see it; Yan walked to the door and measured it repeatedly, and finally said, "My lord." ”

Chen Yan paused in front of the door and didn't look back, "I'm tired of resting in the past few days." ”

"Your Excellency!" Zhou Xiangtian hurriedly said, "Adults know Cao affairs, and they should know that the Cao Shang gang is self-reliant, and it is a great harm to Cao Yun and a waste of people's livelihood." Jiangsu gang leader has unified Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Songjiang, Changzhou four gangs, if it is really as the adults said, the eighth brother will be difficult to continue in the future, over time, the Shandong gang will get out, the rest of Anhui, Henan, Zhili, and the two lakes will be shaken. At that time, the imperial court only needs to make a decree, and it will be easy to unify the Cao Gang of the Nine Provinces, and this matter will be extremely beneficial to the livelihood of the people in the world-but if the leader of the Jiangsu Gang is not there, no one in the Cao Gang of the Nine Provinces will be able to have this momentum-My lord-" Zhou Xiangtian pointed to the paper of the Thirteenth Master, "Although it is to envelop him, if it is unprofitable for Yu Caoyun, how can the Fourth Master promise to let the Cao Gang of the Nine Provinces nominate the chief gang leader in the future?" This is a hundred-year plan of the Cao Gang, please think twice. ”

As soon as Chen Yan landed on the door, the wind outside the house poured in through the crack in the door, blowing cold on his face, and he stood in front of the door.

Xiangtian was anxious, "My lord—"

Chen Yan slowly opened the door, the door bolt squeaked, the autumn wind poured in, and Zhou Xiangtian also felt the chill.

"With Li Er in charge, the Jiangsu Gang is still in the hands of the fourth master." Chen Yan sighed, "As for the matter of the chief gang leader, I know that Weng Bai, the young master of the Cao Gang, has both ability and political integrity, and besides, he is the son-in-law of the Jiangsu gang leader." ”

"My lord, since my lord knows that Li Er is in charge, and Jiangsu has helped Weng Gongzi to be the master, you should know that the Cao Gang and the nine provinces are all brave and ruthless, and Weng Gongzi is young, and his qualifications are not enough to serve the public within ten years."

Chen Yan stood in front of the door and was silent for a long time, "Ten years...... Can't wait ten years......"

Zhou Xiangtian sighed again and again, "I know that the adults will resign as long as He Tuhua is reinstated, and I only hope to live next to the adults in Gaoyou City and live for the rest of my life." However, this matter is related to the interests of people's livelihood, please think twice. ”

Chen Yan slowly closed the door, turned his head to look at Zhou Xiangtian, and shook his head, "I know very well that this person is ruthless and cunning, and he is extremely conceited-I don't allow him, but I'm afraid that he is-" As he was talking, he heard a knock on the door.

Chen Yan stopped talking, stretched out his hand to open the door, and Xiao Lian walked in, "Master, Sister Bi'er - Miss Lian sent a letter to ***." ”

"You don't have to send it back, just leave it alone."

Xiao Lian saw that Chen Yan ignored the letter, and was about to exit the door, he hesitated slightly, but still said: "Master, the little Fang just gossiped with the person who delivered the letter, and when he heard a news, Aunt Lianxiang seemed to have gone to the house, and the letter was afraid that it was about it." ”

Chen Yan and Zhou Xiangtian were both stunned, Chen Yan hurriedly walked to the table and opened the letter.

Zhou Xiangtian was considering the persuasion, but he saw Chen Yan finish reading the letter, and slowly sat down at the desk, with an uncertain look on his face.

On the side, Xiao Lian didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly closed the door and retreated.

It was getting late, the blood-colored sunset shone in through the panes, and Bill's letter was spread out on the desk, and the handwriting was gradually unclear.

Chen Yan closed his eyes and pondered.

The fire in the charcoal basin was cold, and Zhou Xiangtian felt cold in the study.

Chen Yan finally stood up, he took the letter on the table, looked at it again, and threw it into the charcoal basin. Mars jumped up and jumped onto the letterhead, and slowly, the fire started.

"That's it. He was a conceited man. ”

There's still one chapter to end.,Reluctant to kiss.,Continue to chatter.。

1. Reminiscence-Lian Zhenyun's character is a typical anti-angle. A long time ago, I wanted to write about death, but now this person actually has advantages, in any case, in Zou Zou's eyes, daring to despise the royal family is a great advantage, and it is very proletarian feelings, so he still survived. Well, I heard that the main source of the rebel army was actually the 100,000 people who had no way to make a living after the change from Cao Yun to sea transportation. I think that if Lian Zhenyun was born in that era, he would definitely rebel, and the emperor would take turns to do it, and he would come to my house next year - that is, Lian Zhenyun.

If you still have relatives to ask, why did Chen Yan let him go, and he was not afraid that he would rob Su Niang, please read this chapter, Lian Xiang's death chapter, Lian Zhenyun knows Chen Yan's death chapter, and think about Lian Zhenyun's character. and how well Chen Yan knows him.

2, reveal the secret - about the eighth master's fan, alas, it can only be understood but not spoken, it will be understood! You must be aware of it! I'm fully sure you'll be able to appreciate that hazy beauty!

3. Self-explosion - I like to wear it, I am a party of eighty or eight. So Baba is the opening threading character of Qing Nan, but I hate the Qing Dynasty, so Baba became a bad person, and in writing the essay I turned into the Fourteenth Party - well, we live in a harmonious society, I can't write about the darkness, and you don't like to read it, I just want to write, the light in the gray area.

Introspection - when I wrote about the man, I saw the water, the golden bottle, and the Confucian forest, and I was completely brought in, and the white drawing technique is really strong, but let's save some snacks in the next book, I decided to take a good look at the Red Mansion, and I heard that the psychological description is good.

5. Prospect - I am writing an outline at the beginning of the new article, and I will send the beginning to it in a few days, everyone will see how it is, I need everyone's opinions and reflections, so that I can revise it.
