In late autumn, the weather is usually good during the day, but as soon as the sun sets, it begins to reveal a heavy chill. The hundreds of officials in the court room in the thousand-step corridor have changed into jacketed clothes at night whenever they have the conditions, and the cabinet elders and Chinese scholars who rotate in the cabinet straight room day and night have simply prepared cotton clothes and pants to prepare for the cold night. After all, at this time, the Salary Division had not yet supplied firewood and charcoal to the yamen direct houses, but the freezing air at night was terrible.

In the evening, Du Weifang, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, finally finished the official dishes that had piled up like a hill, and habitually grabbed a half-worn cotton robe on the moire hanger on the side pillar and draped it on his body. Tomorrow's argument is that he will take a break, but because the emperor said that he was sick and did not go to court, internal and external affairs were pressed on the cabinet, and he knew that his responsibility was not light, so he didn't want to rashly leave his hands. went to Shoufu Song Yiming's straight room, and agreed that he would go home tonight to take a look, and come back early tomorrow morning, he went back to the straight room to explain his business, and then went out. When he reached the staircase, he saw a person hurrying out at the door of the straight room where Jiyi Writing and Chinese Books were located.

"Ji Xi."

Luo Xu had to take care of the cabinet in the past two days, and he had to take time to pay attention to the news outside, and he had to be busy writing letters while no one was paying attention, and he was busy in the dark. Although he was also an iron muscle, he still felt that his feet were fluttering when he left the house at this time, so he didn't notice that there was someone on the other side. Hearing someone call his cousin, he hurriedly looked up, and saw that it was Du Weifang looking at him solemnly, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and called Du Ge Lao.

"I remember you haven't been back for two days, are you going home?" Seeing Luo Xu nodding, Du Weifang looked at him twice, and immediately said, "In this case, let's go together, just talk to me." ”

It was a long journey from the noon gate to the left and right gates of Chang'an, so Du Weifang's words sounded reasonable, but Luo Xu secretly complained. Sure enough, all the way out, Du Weifang was like an assessment, interrogating the recent important twists and turns, Luo Xu searched his stomach and tried to recall and deal with it, and when he got out of the left gate of Chang'an, it was already a dusk with a swishing cold wind, but his vest was hot and dry. It was easy to wait until Du Weifang got in the car and left, he wiped his oily forehead, and secretly thought that this Du Ge Lao was really his nemesis, and after meeting with his relatives, he got on the horse and turned in the direction of Jiangmi Lane.

There is a "Fuwen" memorial arch at the west entrance of Dongjiang Rice Lane, there is a "Zhenwu" memorial arch at the east entrance of Xijiang Mi Lane, and the two memorial arches are far away from each other, as if they correspond to each other with the civil and military yamen official office in the north of these two alleys. Just because this is the most important center of the world, many officials have set up their homes here in order to go to court, and over time, wine shops and so on have also come into being. Now that his mother, Mrs. Lin, is pregnant, and the others have no appetite, he is worried about the black glutinous rice wine he occasionally buys back from a wine shop here.

When he arrived at the wine shop, he only opened his mouth, and the shopkeeper immediately asked the man to be busy, seeing that he was dressed as a nobleman, and he had to talk. Luo Xu was used to seeing this, and he was not in the mood to talk at this time, and when he was in a hurry, he heard a loud horsewhip outside, followed by a horse neighing, and after a while, a little girl with a comb and a double beard rushed in.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper"

The shopkeeper left Luo Xu at this time, and stepped forward with a smile on his face: "How did the little crane girl have the kung fu to come here, is she passing by or what?" Just say, Xiao Lao'er let them do it immediately. ”

"Just passing by, Miss asked me to take a look, even if I want something, I will naturally pay the silver according to the price." The little girl's eyes were dripping, and when she saw that there were few drinkers in the lobby, but there were Luo Xu and two relatives standing in front of the counter, she withdrew her gaze and lowered her voice again, "Are the people of Jinyiwei still coming to your place to scrape the ground?" ”

"No, no, thanks to Miss's idea," the shopkeeper smiled, gave a thumbs up and said, "Please also ask Miss Xiaohe'er to reply, and say that Xiao Lao'er can be thoughtful in this family, thanks to Miss." ”

Luo Xu on the side didn't have the intention to eavesdrop, but the drinkers shouted five and three and six in twos and threes, and the two of them spoke with a low voice at first, but then they didn't hide it much, he actually heard more than half of it. However, to his surprise, both sides were talking about business, and suddenly they talked about another thing.

"Ahem...... I forgot, Miss asked me to inform you, she checked the ancient books again in the past few days, although the black glutinous rice wine recipe that you gave you last time was brought by us from Miaojiang, it can be used as medicine and nourishing, and it is the most nourishing, but there is a category of people who are not suitable for drinking more, that is, pregnant women who are pregnant with Liujia, and they must be drunk hot. Most of the people who come to you are officials and nobles, and if something happens to you, you must not forget. ”

Hearing this, Luo Xu suddenly woke up, and was about to open his mouth to ask a question, when he saw the little girl go out again like a gust of wind. He was not good-looking when a big man chased him out, and there was a shout outside the door, obviously the carriage was set off again, so he had to beckon to call the shopkeeper: "Your recipe for black glutinous rice wine was not your idea, it was given by someone else?" Listen to the girl's tone, her master's family is from Miaojiang? ”

The shopkeeper didn't expect Luo Xu to listen to all their words, and he was stunned and quickly explained with a smile: "Son, the shop was originally just a small business that served food, and this signature black glutinous rice wine recipe is indeed someone else's. She is out of the way, I am out of the people, everyone is two and one to make five, which is considered to be a joint stock business. said so, in fact, it was just people helping the little old man. They haven't come to withdraw the money for a few months, saying that it is directly counted as new capital. ”

Luo Xu asked a few more words, but didn't ask anything, only knew that this house was almost occupied by the family of the former Jinyi Wei Ti Shuai Lu Yiyun, and now the new one is taking office, but he has taken a fancy to his house, as if he is going to open up the use of the Jinyi Wei Houya, but the girl from Miao Jiang nodded a few words, and the owner and shopkeeper temporarily kept the property. In a hurry to go home, he didn't say much, hurriedly checked out the door, and after getting on the horse, he looked back at this inconspicuous storefront.

Although it is just behind the Jinyi Wei Yamen, there are many shops of the same kind, why didn't the Jinyi Wei take a fancy to this place? Forget it, I'll pay attention to this later, and now when I go home, I have to tell my mother first, and I have to drink less of this sweet wine...... Having said that, the girl from Miaojiang who knows how to make wine, if this is the case, she should stand out from the crowd in this Jingshi's inner fang, why didn't he hear the fox friends of the Holy Hand Liu mention it?

In front of Du's house, Du Weifang got out of the car and learned that an uninvited guest had come to the house, and the originally long face was immediately stretched longer. After entering the door, he saw a person flashing out of the gatehouse next to the corner door, he couldn't help glaring at him fiercely, and said angrily: "Do you know how to avoid suspicion?" ”

"Sir, I really have something important......"

Yang Jinzhou, who was not good at words, naturally had to bow his head in front of Du Wei. Sure enough, as soon as he said this, he only heard Du Weifang say with a split head and a face: "I don't know about your wood?" If you have nothing to do, you will only honestly give gifts according to the New Year's Festival, and you will not even take a step at the gate...... Why did I accept a student with such a brain as you...... Okay, don't stand here stupidly, follow me in to see your wife, count yourself as good luck today, just rub the rice."

Following Du Weifang in, Yang Jinzhou met Mrs. Wei, and was forced to eat a meal with him, and then he followed him into the study. Seeing Du Weifang sitting behind the desk, his eyes glared again, he had to take a few steps forward to stand beside him, and then said in a low voice: "Sir, there are too many things in the past few days, I am watching from the side, it is really difficult to decide...... For example, at the moment, people are being attacked by a group, knowing that most of them are framed, but most of them are watching from the sidelines or even falling into the ground. Another person is grieving because of the great changes that have happened to him, but someone is taking advantage of his sadness. If you have a big handle in your hand at this time, you can let people who are suspected of making trouble behind these few things fall into it together, then should you do it? ”

"In the officialdom, there are a lot of people who fight cattle across the mountains and use their strength to fall into the well, and you, the junior brother, will naturally feel indignant when you see it...... Of course I am the same. Speaking of handles...... What a big handle? Is it that people are greedy for ink and stolen goods, or kill people and sell goods, or are they just ordinary human contacts, or are they small negligence in lax discipline? ”

Du Weifang was quick to speak, and when he saw Yang Jinzhou stunned for a moment after speaking, he couldn't help but stand up, and glared at him again: "If you muddy the water, you can make all the fish mess up, but what if there is a smart person who buries himself in the mud and doesn't move?" Intrigue and treacherous methods can only work for a while, and the only thing that really makes people unable to resist and defend is the upright conspiracy, do you understand? ”

Seeing that Yang Jinzhou was stunned by what he said, Du Weifang put away his beard and stared at him, and snorted angrily and said: "You are a military general, and you can't fight those civil officials who have been playing on this road for decades. You're asking for your little fiancée, aren't you? But did they really ask you to inquire about this kind of thing? Although she is a girl's family, what should she do and what she shouldn't do, I don't think she will be more confused than you, you, you are idle"

As soon as the words fell, there was a soft knock on the door outside, followed by the respectful voice of a scholar.

"Master, the fourth son of the Chen family is here."

"Look, they're coming, right?" Du Weifang glared at Yang Jinzhou angrily, and said with a smile, "Yes, that's my future son-in-law, your future brother-in-law, go out with me to meet." ”
