"Speaking of which, the fifth master seems to have been out for a while, and he will be back soon, right?" Yu Yuanshan asked with a very casual smile, and Dongping looked him up and down: "You have mentioned this two or three times." ”

"It's not that you don't know, we are all enlightened by the fifth master, we often talk about this in private, scholars pay attention to the morning and the Tao can die at night, can smell the Tao, even if it is worth dying, the fifth master's great grace, you say, how big? Although the fifth master was casually lit and didn't take it seriously, we kept this great favor in mind and obeyed the disciple ceremony to the fifth master in our hearts. Yu Yuanshan was so sincere that he replied with some solemnity, Dongping raised his hand and patted the account book in Yu Yuanshan's arms and said with a smile: "Chaowen Dao died at night, is there such a solution?" But what he said is also right, if it weren't for the fifth master, you still twisted that tendon and couldn't understand it, how could it be like now, return to your hometown to enjoy the blessings of Qingfu every year, like you to show your talents, okay, I left first, I just received the messenger, I have to hurry up, these account books," Dongping slapped the account book in Yu Yuanshan's arms twice: "It's really annoying enough, according to me, you still don't be busy with any disciple etiquette, or hurry back and calculate your account from the beginning to the end, the fifth master's eyes are terrifying." , let her pick out the mistakes and you will look good! ”

"Thank you for reminding me to have a drink or two tonight if you have time? Liu Lao's eldest granddaughter got married, and sent someone to send the altar daughter red over, our Liangdi daughter red is different from other places, pay attention to buried under the camphor tree, this authentic family brewed buried daughter red for more than ten years, but it is very rare! If you're not available, don't blame me for favoring you! Yu Yuanshan smiled with a smile on his face, bowed slightly in thanks, and continued.

"Old Liu?" Dongping couldn't think of it for a while, Yu Yuanshan said with a smile: "It is Liu Mingyi and Liu Shangshu, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in Liangdi, and the eldest granddaughter married the eldest son of the Wangyao family in the neighboring county, and became a relative last month." ”

"He! I know this, I also sent two altars to the master, but at that time the master was not in the mood to pay attention to this, this time it was still piled up in the warehouse, it turned out that you also got it, I told you, don't be biased, I received the messenger of the master, I don't have time to drink this wine for a while, if you have sincerity, just keep it for me! Don't pass it yet! Go ahead, you're in a good mood right now. Dongping smiled goodbye to Yu Yuanshan, strode out of the yard, first went to find Mingzhu to pass the word, then went back to pack his luggage, took the little maid, and hurried to Kaiping Mansion.

Yu Yuanshan went out of the courtyard of the outer study with the account book, returned to the tent room in the outer courtyard of Shantao Garden, locked the account book, and first called the little servant to come over and whispered: "Go and ask Lord An and Lord Qian to come to the house at night to talk, quietly." Yu Yuanshan sat on the chair and thought for a while, called more than a dozen small officials in the tent, and discussed with everyone how to calculate the surplus of grain and grass in Liangdi and the amount before the autumn harvest, and was busy until the evening, before cleaning it up, just out of the side gate of Shantao Garden, and met An Zaihai, An Zaihai was dressed in a brocade gown, shaking a folding fan and looking at Yu Yuanshan and smiled: "You don't even have a cup of good tea in that yard, why don't you go to me?" ”

"It's better for me to be there, an old servant, a small servant, all of them are their own children, and there are only four words in your house: there are many people and miscellaneous mouths." Yu Yuanshan dismissed unceremoniously, and An Zaihai laughed: "If you are poor like this, you can't get mixed up if you want to!" ”

"I'm called poverty!" Yu Yuanshan shook off the paper fan and shook it, raised his chin and said, An Zaihai laughed, beckoned to the little servant and ordered: "Go to Yuehailou to call a table of good noodles and send it to Yu's mansion." ”

"Let them send the jar of good wine, and they want to have good pear blossoms, go quickly!" Yu Yuanshan hurriedly added, An Zaihai turned his head to look at him and said strangely: "Didn't Lao Liu send a jar of daughter red by himself?" Your jar hasn't opened yet, what's the matter? Can't bear to open it? ”

"No," Yu Yuanshan pulled An Zaihai and took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "I answered Dongping, and when he comes back, I invite him to taste Lao Liu's daughter Hong, let's go back and talk about it in detail." An Zaihai said softly, the two tacitly changed the topic, talked and laughed all the way, and An Bu drove into Yu Yuanshan's house.

Without waiting for the two of them to sit down, Qian Qian inserted a huge boxwood Ruyi hairpin and a light gray muslin robe in his bun, walked in all the way, entered the room and sat down, stretched out his hand to untie the neckline, took the cup and drank the tea in the cup in three or two sips, took a long breath, looked at Yu Yuanshan and An Zaihai and asked, "Have you heard?" Ye is leaving tonight, going back to Kaiping Mansion? Yu Yuanshan waved his hand to rebuke the little guy: "Go to the gate of the courtyard and watch, Yuehailou will send the table over to follow." Seeing the little guy go out, An Zaihai said with a smile: "Lao Yu called us here to discuss this matter." ”

"It's not like I'm going back to Kaiping Mansion, I'm in a very good mood today, and I heard that I've been smiling all day." Yu Yuanshan diverted the topic very far, Qian Qian was stunned and said, "This is strange??????

"Listen to Lao Yu first." An Zaihai interrupted Qian Qian's words, Yu Yuanshan took a sip of tea, and then said: "The fifth master is coming back soon, this is Dongpingtou's letter, I thought about it for an afternoon, the prince set off, I was afraid that he was going to meet the fifth master, and the prince seemed to be going to use soldiers again, this morning he ordered me to check the grain and grass available in Liangdi, and when the second master of the water came back, he reported the fine account of the grain and grass to the second master of the water, and the future affairs are subject to his scheduling, the Shui family, who has always been in charge of the grain and grass in the army, must use soldiers." An Zaihai and Qian Qian thought about it, nodded slowly, Yu Yuanshan looked at the two, and then said: "Over there in Kaiping Mansion, they all thought that the fifth master was in Liangdi with the prince, and only in Shantao Garden did they know that the fifth master did not come to Liangdi at all. Only Wu Di! Emperor Wu died, and the six princes took over the throne, but I'm afraid it's not that simple, I guess that the fifth master must have gone to Taiping Mansion in the past few months! ”

An Zaihai and Qian Qian were startled, and were about to speak, when the little guy raised his voice outside to report, the banquet of Yuehailou was delivered, and the three of them watched in silence as a few little guys set up the table, poured wine and retreated, An Zaihai took a deep breath, looked at Yu Yuanshan and whispered: "I thought about it carefully, the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more reasonable it became!" Qian Qian blinked again and again, not knowing what to say for a while, Yu Yuanshan took a wine glass and drank it, picked up his chopsticks and ate a piece of mutton, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, the fifth master must have made a great contribution this time!" Qian Qian also took the wine glass and drank it all, sighed with a long sigh: "Think about it, it's really like this, what are Lao Yu's plans?" ”

"We have to build momentum for the fifth master, the fifth master is a woman in the end, if a man has made such a great achievement, he will naturally be rewarded for his merits, but the fifth master may not be ?????? We have to create a momentum, and jointly sign an excerpt, no matter where you are born, whether you are noble or low, whether you are male or female, those who have made meritorious contributions to the country should be rewarded for their merits! Yu Yuanshan said heavily, An Zaihai nodded repeatedly: "That's how it should be!" If the prince wants to expand the border and merge the land, he must gather the hearts of the world's talented people, regardless of Beiping, Liangdi, no matter where he comes from, he must use his talents, and he must be rewarded for his merits! Qian Qian nodded again and again, Yu Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Since both of you think it is reasonable, then the three of us will discuss it carefully, this fold must be written reasonably, evidence-based and modest, and what should be ordered must be ordered, and, Lao Qian, you write a letter to Lao Tang, tell him that we are going to be on this fold, and he can't be missing if you want to join forces, he is by the side of Shui Erye, let him pass this matter to Shui Er Ye, and see what Shui Er Ye means, if you can get the approval of Shui Er Ye, it will be an unexpected joy!" ”

"Done! When I went back, I wrote, Lao Ande lent me two good horses, and the two old horses in my house couldn't even eat grass. Qian Qian happily agreed, turned his head to look for An Zaihai to borrow a horse, An Zaihai nodded at the two of them and said with a smile: "It is said that the Ministry of Rites is a poor yamen of Qingshui, one of you is from a rich household, and the other is a majestic and fatal official of the Ministry of Punishment, and now you are all looking for me, a poor Qingshui, to fight the autumn wind!" ”

"The Ministry of Rites is all Qing noble officials, the pioneer Liu Lao, now you are all from the local county family, and the silver is piled up into a mountain, who will you go to if you don't fight the autumn wind?!" Yu Yuanshan replied unceremoniously, Qian Qian nodded in agreement, An Zaihai smiled and picked up the wine glass, and let the two of them drink wine and gossip.

Shui Yan got Su Zicheng's letter, read it carefully, put it in a paper basin and burned it, picked up the jade plate with the three words written on it, shook his head and read it again, his fingers gently tapped on the armrest of the chair and admired, such a good word is really rare, extremely rare, the second master asked him to take a good look at it, learn a little, the meaning of this word, this word was written by him? No way! His skills are all about killing, if he really writes poems and lyrics, I'm afraid he won't even be able to find the rhyme! Whose word is this? Proud of him like this? Shui Yan thought about it for a long time and didn't have a clue, so he simply stood up and walked to the desk, instructed the little guy to lay out the paper, took a big wolf, recorded the three words again, and wrote a letter, saying that the second master respected the three words, and ordered the three words to be framed, and sent the letter to the Jingjiang Hou Mansion in Kaiping Mansion, so that the master could appreciate and appreciate it, no matter whose words the second master was so respectful, then he had to pay attention to it respectfully, but such a rare word is indeed worth it.

The little guy raised his voice outside, accompanied Shui Yan to check the spring ploughing and persuasion of the original Liang Gong Gong Gong Lang Tang Gong Sun came in with a smile, Chang Yi saw the ceremony, Shui Yan got up busily, politely let Tang Gongsun sit down, Tang Gongsun took out the abridgement from his sleeve, carefully reported the situation of this spring ploughing, the water conservancy to be repaired and his own plans, Shui Yan held a cup of tea, absent-mindedly listened, he almost didn't know anything about farming, since he didn't understand, he didn't say much, just let Tang Gongsun, who had done most of his life agricultural water conservancy, let go of it, On this errand, he was named, and Tang Gongsun did things, but they were also suitable.
