There is a way to be a new official to take office with three fires. But Chen Ying felt that everything was not going well for her new official. The Left Army Governor's Office has jurisdiction over Shandong, Liaodong and Zhejiang, and there are not only the rich lands in the south of the Yangtze River that rarely encounter military disasters, but also the Liaodong that is wedged into the northeast region, and Shandong, which has always had a strong people's style. Zhang Ming, the Governor of the Palm Seal, was kind to him and didn't care much about things, but the rest of his bosses and colleagues were a little strange when they saw him as a newly appointed secretary. After all, there are not many nobles in the Governor's Mansion, and the head of the Left Army Governor's Mansion is him, the Marquis of Yangning and the Korean Duke Zhang Ming, and they are also Uncle Lang, so people can't help but think about the mystery.

Yesterday, I asked for leave and didn't even go to the court meeting, and hurriedly ran to Tongzhou Anyuan, but the thing was not done, and after the court meeting ended early in the morning, when Chen Ying stepped into the Left Army Governor's Mansion, his face naturally had a little tiredness. He entered the Yimen from the Yongdao and came out of a small door on the east side, when he suddenly heard a faint sound of talking in front of him.

"At this morning's court meeting, Lu Shuai of Jinyiwei didn't come."

"It is said that he is sick...... Isn't that nonsense? Who doesn't know that this person can still bathe with cold water in winter, how can he get sick lightly. You don't know. In addition to the house in the capital here, that Lu Shuai also bought another property in Tongzhou, which happened to be the golden house. It is said that the outer room is from Yangzhou, not only young, but also proficient in a lot of unique skills, so now Lu Shuai runs there every time he has a holiday. ”

"You mean, Lu Shuai is not sick, but fell on the woman's belly?"

The two of them giggled for a while, not noticing that someone was approaching behind them. And Chen Ying had already recognized the two of them as the affairs and experiences of the Division, stood and listened for a while, and after seeing them, what they said was nothing more than some unbearable words, so she didn't say anything, and went straight back to the duty room with two henchmen. As soon as he entered the room, his face sank.

Tongzhou ...... Jin Yiwei commanded Lu Yiyun...... I didn't come to the court for leave today...... If you add Yang Jinzhou, who happens to be in Anyuan, there must be something famous in it that he doesn't know. The person sent out the day before yesterday found that Xia Zhuangtou in a mansion in Tongzhou City, because the matter was urgent, he didn't pay much attention to what was going on there, and now it seems that he was careless!

Due to the morning court meeting, the yamen of the five governments and six departments are generally the directors of the Chenshi, and the yamen of the Shenshi is scattered, but the noon is a resting time that cannot be moved. For example, if the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, which is in charge of leading troops and training instead of complicated military affairs documents, if it is not a regular seal official, it is not important to take leave in the middle of the day, so Zhang Ming frequently leaves early. On this day, Chen Ying had something in her heart, and she had no intention of staying in the yamen for more, so she found a reason to take leave and went home at noon, and rode a horse to the door of the house. The sharp-eyed porter came out with a smoke.

"Third master, it's too early to come back today!"

The porter held the reins in one hand and was about to help Chen Ying get off the horse, but saw that he didn't need to get off the horse, he jumped directly and landed firmly on the ground, and then he remembered that the third master had really gone into battle and fought, but he was not as pustuated as the second master, so he saw that Chen Ying didn't pay attention to himself, and only walked straight to the door, he hurriedly chased two steps.

"I have something to tell the third master. Uncle Ping Jiang just arrived, and Xiao Zhiyuan said that you were not there, but he said that you would definitely come back early, so Steward Liu took the person to the Sande Hall and waited. ”

Knowing that Ping Jiangbo was actually here, Chen Ying stopped at his feet, and then nodded to indicate that he knew. After passing the shadow wall and going up the road, he saw the housekeeper Liu Qing hurriedly running over with the corner of his robe in one hand, so he slowed down his pace, and when he got closer, he asked, "When did Uncle Pingjiang come?" Who's with you here? ”

"It's the fourth young master to accompany you." Seeing Chen Ying's pale face, Liu Qing knew that it was not groundless for the fourth young master to marry Uncle Pingjiang's eldest daughter who had been rumored in the mansion before, so he was more respectful. "The little one heard the little guy who delivered the tea, Ping Jiangbo asked the fourth young master a few words, as if he was very satisfied, and gave him a gold fan he brought with him."

Chen Ying was noncommittal, and when he arrived at the hugging building in front of the Sande Hall, the waiting guy raised the curtain, and after he bent down to enter, he frowned slightly imperceptibly. Pingjiangbo's title comes from the Taizu period, and he is said to be the noble in charge of the army, but in fact, he has not made much achievements in using soldiers to lead soldiers, but he has a set of rules for governing the Cao River. Although Dachu has both river transport and sea transportation, after all, river transport is shorter, and can go directly to Tongzhou, so Pingjiang Bofang's family has been favored for many years, and because it has been in the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, the family background is extremely thick, and almost all Pingjiang Bo in the past dynasties has the title of Caoyun Governor.

However, today's Pingjiang Bo Fanghan is a civil official, and even the greeting gift is a gold fan that literati love to use!

There are seven rooms and nine frames in the Sande Hall, and there are two small hugging buildings in front of it, and the seven rooms are open to the east and west in addition to the main hall in the middle. The east side is the place where the military generals are crossed, so the sword used by the first generation of Yang Ningbo hangs on the wall, the golden helmet that was praised by Emperor Taizu on the shelf, and the bow seized from the Tartar on the case...... All in all, each piece is an antiquity that is some years old. The west side is much more elegant, full of bookshelves of classics and classics, furnished with all kinds of antiques and curiosities, and the four treasures of the study are all exquisite large desks. There are Huang Tingjian's words on the wall, Song Huizong's paintings, Su Dongpo's paperweight, and Mi Xiangyang's inkstone, all of which should be arranged by famous artists.

At this moment, Ping Jiangbo was talking to Chen Han in the West House, and when he heard someone coming in, he looked up and saw that it was Chen Ying, and immediately stood up, and after greetings, he praised Chen Han for his solid foundation and elegant speech, and he had the wind and clouds of a family. Chen Ying has always been stern in front of her son, her nose is not a nose, her eyes are not her eyes, she picked a few mistakes in her son, so she drove people back to the room, and then sat down with Fang Han as a guest.

The two said that they exchanged their children on the road and agreed to get married, but in fact, they had already known each other when one was just the son of the Marquis of Yangning and the other was only the second son of the family, so there were not so many clichés. As soon as a few opening sentences passed, Pingjiang Bo Fanghan said mysteriously: "Brother Chen, do you know that Lu Yiyun, the handsome man in brocade clothes this time, may be planted?" ”

Although Chen Ying had already thought of this possibility when she heard the whispers of the two subordinate officials of the Left Army Governor's Mansion today, as soon as these words came out. He gasped, then shook his head and asked what was going on. However, Fang Han had just heard a little reason, he only knew the news from the palace officials, and he couldn't say anything else, even if he was anxious in his heart, he could only press it for the time being.

"Okay, okay, we and Jinyiwei are well water and don't interfere with river water, this kind of thing can't be managed. I'm here today to talk to you about the marriage I talked about earlier. The news that your old lady left the house to recuperate has now spread, and it is not my nosy. After all, it's my mother-in-law, and there are many people who know about that before, so don't be in a hurry, it's not good to say it. Also, I heard that you intend to marry your daughter to the prince of Weiguo? ”

Chen Ying has learned about Zhu's affairs that someone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate impeached him, although the music seems to be left in the middle of the book, but it is not good-looking after all, so he can only hold his breath. At this time, Ping Jiangbo reminded him, he hummed lightly, but when he heard the last sentence, his face suddenly changed - this matter is now a little slim, why is it still spreading?

Thinking that Fang Han was the future son and daughter of the family after all, and he had a good relationship in the past, he sighed and said: "You also know this girl's life experience, the marriage was agreed to by the former Duke of Wei Guo, but now it seems that the hexagram has changed." To be honest, I'm not really reluctant to see the situation in my family right now. ”

"It's okay if you are reluctant, after all, your family has too deep a relationship with King Jin, and this Weiguo Gong is the uncle of King Lu, if you marry your daughter to the prince of Wei Guogong, it seems to outsiders that you have two boats with one foot!" As he spoke, Fang Han pressed the small table next to him and leaned closer, "Brother Chen, I know you haven't chosen a side, but now you have to choose." The country relies on Changjun, and the outsider emperor is suspicious of the king of Jin, but in fact, he really looks at it, but he killed a Qing guest and a slave, and yesterday he also rewarded the king of Jin with some palace maids and slaves, where is the favor and decline? Your old lady relies on the Korean Duchess and the Princess of Jin, if he is ...... Can you still touch her? The only way to do this is to take the opportunity of appointing a second concubine to ...... your family's daughter."

"You mean ......"

Both of them stopped halfway. But when they look at each other, they don't understand what each other means. Fang Han saw Chen Ying's groaning appearance, and knew that the drum didn't need a heavy hammer, so he changed the topic. And Chen Ying hadn't thought about this stubble before, but now that Fang Han mentioned it again, he had to think that this was the best way to solve the current predicament.

Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind!

The main house of Cuiliuju.

Since taking over the housework, Mrs. Xu has spent less and less time in the house, but more and more people have stayed with her three-year-old son-in-law Chen Ting. At the end of the morning's deliberations, I heard that her husband Chen Ying had come back and was meeting Pingjiang Bo Fanghan in the Sande Hall, so she didn't eat in the Shuijing Hall and went straight back. As soon as she entered the door, she went to see the child first, and when she saw the soft hand grasping her face and calling her mother softly, her face suddenly showed a deep gloom.

Chen Han and the daughter of Pingjiang Bo set up a marriage, but her son didn't know if he could grow up safely!

Because of this preoccupation, she had no appetite at all, and lunch was nothing more than a perfunctory affair. But what she didn't expect was that after Chen Ying saw Ping Jiangbo come back, she actually went directly into her main room and drove the girls down. As soon as she heard what the man who was supposed to be her husband said it, she suddenly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her heart fell like an ice cellar.
