Lou Suzhen didn't expect Sun Jiao to be so talkative.

Can I become a best friend with my grandson's daughter, and as a result, I can talk speculatively with my best friend's father?

You father and daughter are so interesting!

It's just that Old Man Sun, why is it so wrong with the eyes you have seen?

Or is it that your old man Sun has bad intentions and is just gagging me here?

Lou Suzhen originally had a good chat with Sun Jiao, but as a woman, she was afraid that she would talk to Sun Jiao for a long time and be noticed by Sun Jiao, how can you say that Sun Jiao is also an old fritter, the difference between men and women, you can't see it, can't you find it after getting along for a long time?

Besides, she Lou Suzhen is a little older, but compared with her peers, she has to look good, have a figure, and have a luxury that ordinary people don't have, which makes it easier to expose her identity.

Fortunately, at this time, it is rumored that Tang Yin has returned, and Lou Suzhen's predicament has finally been relieved.

Sun Jiao is still unfinished.

But the master's family came back, and his main purpose in coming to the Tang Mansion was to see Tang Yin, Lou Suzhen got up and retreated, and he couldn't stop it.

When Sun Jiao saw Tang Yin, who was in the dust, he didn't talk about the business first, and after a brief salute, he first asked about Lou Suzhen's situation: "...... That little friend of the Mi family, who is a respectful person, why haven't you mentioned it to Jingdao before?"

"Mi Kinder?"

Tang Yin was stunned at first, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Oh, she doesn't come to my house often, and she doesn't have a deep friendship."

Sun Jiao glanced at Tang Yin: "You only remember that there is an excellent disciple of Jingdao, and no one else takes it in your eyes, right?" I don't think Jingde is much worse than Jingdao in terms of knowledge, oh yes, why does Jingde say that he and Jingdao are the same family?"

Tang Yin didn't want to dwell on this kind of issue.

What kind of relationship is what they love, isn't Lou Suzhen always hanging under the door of Zhu Hao's mansion as a maid? Speaking of which, he Tang Yin is also thinking about the maid in Zhu Hao's mansion, if Lou Suzhen comes to his mansion in women's clothes, he often calls himself "Qiu Xiang".

"Elder Sun, if you have any questions, let's ask respectfully." Tang Yin was a little impatient, "What official business do you have to come here this time, please speak up."

Tang Yin went out early in the morning to run errands, but was informed that the old man of the household department Shangshu Sun came to the door, and he was blocking him at home at this time, and he had to come back, and he was angry.

I'm not a court official now, even Zhu Hao didn't force me to do anything, and the emperor didn't demand anything, how could I come to your old man Sun, and if you want to come out of it, you actually came to my house to talk to me about business?

I'm an official who has already paid tribute, and there are female relatives at home, so you are still chasing and asking questions, can you give some private space?

Sun Jiao wanted to continue to ask Lou Suzhen about it, or felt that his words were too eager, so he sighed instead: "That's the case, at today's court meeting, when it was mentioned that the southeast coastal defense, two forces of the Japanese State made trouble on the ground in Ningbo, Zhejiang, in order to compete for the qualification of tribute, and slaughtered our Ming soldiers and civilians...... DID YOU KNOW?"

Tang Yin bowed: "Oh, I know."

"Huh? You got it? When?"

Sun Jiao hurriedly asked.

The emperor calculated this incident in advance, and now that it really happened, could it be that someone is really sowing discord behind his back?

Tang Yin asked curiously, "Didn't you just find out? This kind of thing, if you want to hide it from the world, I'm afraid it's not easy, right? It's all going on in the market outside."

Sun Jiao said in surprise: "Ouch, the news of this world spreads really fast, and people outside know about it?"

Suddenly I thought, no, this morning, before the court, even the courtiers didn't know, how could people in the market have such well-informed news channels?

remembered that Yang Tinghe had sworn that nothing would happen in the southeast, but the result was...... Could it be that someone deliberately targeted Yang Tinghe and spread the news outside?

Tang Yin saw that Sun Jiao only sighed for a moment, and then fell into deep thought, he couldn't help frowning, he didn't understand what Old Man Sun was doing.

"Elder Sun, didn't you come here just to inform me of this?"

Tang Yin was quite speechless.

Just talk about things, just talk about things, you said half of it and suddenly broke it, which is inexplicable,

You know?

Sun Jiaozheng said: "That's right, at the court meeting, His Majesty proposed that both land and sea routes should be prepared to prevent the Japanese from escaping from the sea calmly, but there are not many warships on the ground in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that can be mobilized, and the Japanese people have brought ships to pay tribute.

"The old man suddenly remembered that you had mentioned before that you wanted to transfer money from the household department to Tianjin Sanwei to build a shipyard, and it is reported that this matter has not been stopped, you see......

Only then did Tang Yin know why Sun Jiao came, so he said, "Sun Lao is here for the warship? Don't worry, the first ships, salute...... Your Majesty has asked people to allocate the southeast coastal defense, and it is estimated that this time it will come in handy."

"What?"

Sun Jiao was surprised when he heard this.

I've tried my best to tell you that you've been ready for a long time, and even the boat has been transferred? Is it me and the people of the DPRK and China who are worried in vain?

Is it okay for you to be efficient, or are you Tang Bohu playing tricks on the old man?

Where could it be so efficient?

Tang Yin said: "There will be a problem in the southeast about the Japanese people fighting for tribute, in fact, His Majesty sent someone to inform the Nanjin Yiwei to prepare earlier, so the matter involves diplomatic relations with the vassal state, if it is directly guarded by local people, it may be inappropriate, but who knows that it still can't avoid things from happening, and now we can only make up for it as much as possible."

"I see."

Sun Jiao also did not believe that the emperor would send people to instigate internal disputes in the Wa Kingdom and harm the Ming Dynasty, so it seemed that he could only take precautions in advance.

Sun Jiao asked with concern, "Then who warned of this first?"

Tang Yin frowned and asked, "Isn't it respectful?"

Sun Jiao actually expected that it was Zhu Hao a long time ago, but when he heard Tang Yin admit it in person, his heart finally settled down.

In the eyes of Sun Jiao and Tang Yin, although Zhu Hao is a radical child, he at least has a pure temperament, of course, this is also the image that Zhu Hao deliberately created in front of them.

"Okay, that's it, I know how to reply." Sun Jiao got up and was about to leave.

Tang Yin asked, "Who does Elder Sun want to reply?"

Sun Jiao naturally can't be said to be going to Yang Tinghe, after all, Tang Yin represents the new emperor's power, if it is said that his old man Sun eats inside and out, then the appearance that he is painstakingly managing to form his own faction to fight against Yang Tinghe and his henchmen will not work.

There are factions among civil officials, and the emperor should see that there are different voices among civil servants, which is also the consciousness that people and ministers should have, Sun Jiao does not really want to be the same as the party, but just to create such an environment to pave the way for Yang Ting and Zhishi.

"Remember to have time, let Jingde come to your house more, your master and apprentice have a good exchange, it may be helpful to you. In addition, I also asked him to visit my house from time to time, and the old man likes to talk to young people."

When Sun Jiao was leaving, he didn't forget to give full play to his old ruffian nature and made a proposal to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin smiled bitterly.

Let Concubine Lou come to your house?

Think beautifully!

But the mouth was perfunctory: "Definitely."

……

……

At noon, Zhu Niang's residence.

Zhu Hao took Sun Lan back to have dinner with his family, but also to prepare for his next departure from Beijing, at this time Zhu Hao had just obtained the official title of the prefect of Yongping Mansion, and he was going to leave for the local place early in the morning two days later.

Zhu Hao had already greeted Sun Lan in advance and settled down the family affairs, this time he went to Yongping Mansion and did not plan to take his family with him, as for Lou Suzhen, he said that he would go...... That was just Lou Suzhen's wishful thinking, and Zhu Hao didn't agree.

「…… It's only been a few days since I've been in office? Just be the prefect? It's really good, the old man has knowledge under the spring, and he will be gratified that our Zhu family has also produced a literary star like Young Master Hao."

Aunt Li may be a little older, and her speech seems to be a little chattering.

Zhu Niang looked much calmer.

Zhu Niang said: "I just got admitted to the top prize, and I stayed well in the Hanlin Academy, why did I go to the local office? I heard that this is equivalent to losing the opportunity to be promoted, and it is no better to stay in Beijing after going out, everything is better here, and the place is ...... There are always a lot of inconveniences."

Zhu Hao smiled

"Mother, Yongping Mansion is not far from the capital, you can go over and visit it when you have time."

"Mother still won't go."

Zhu Niang said, "You went to work alone, and my mother used to disturb you, didn't you not understand the rules? As long as you can go back to Beijing sooner......

Sun Lan next to her listened to it, and wanted to remind her mother-in-law that officials are all appointed by the imperial court to go wherever they want, where is there such a persuasion for their son?

Back to the capital early?

Is it up to the person in charge to make his own decisions?

Aunt Li asked, "How long will it take to go to Yongping Mansion to be the prefect?"

Zhu Hao said, "One term should be three years."

"Huh? So long? Why doesn't Master Hao find someone to talk to and give you another errand?"

Aunt Li originally knew that Zhu Hao was going to be the prefect, and she was quite happy, but when she heard that it would be three years since she went, she naturally felt a little uncomfortable.

It is very likely that Zhu Hao will not be seen in the next three years.

Zhu Hao smiled: "This kind of errand is assigned by the ministry, and it can't be changed."

"Why not? You go and talk to Gonggong Zhang, beg for mercy, if it doesn't work, tell Aunt Jiang, aren't they very close to the emperor?"

Aunt Li was straightforward and fast-talking, and in front of Zhu Hao's wife, she did not shy away from this matter at all.

Originally, Sun Lan was still eating step by step, listening by the way, hearing this, she couldn't help but stop the chopsticks in her hand, and only looked at the Zhu family at the dinner table.

Zhu Niang glanced at Aunt Li: "Eat, don't talk nonsense."

"Huh."

Aunt Li's face was a little embarrassed, and she continued to pick up the dishes and chopsticks to eat.

Zhu Hao asked, "Has Grandpa Zhang been here recently?"

This time, it was Zhu Hao himself who broke the silence.

Zhu Niang sighed and replied, "I have been here, saying that I am a gift for Your Majesty, and I have brought a lot of goods and goods, and I have a lot of silk and satin, but I don't let Wei Niang tell you, saying that this is Your Majesty's separate reward. I didn't sit down much at the time, and I left after the gifts were counted."

"Oh."

Zhu Hao nodded.

If it weren't for Aunt Li's straightforward mention, he wouldn't have known that there was such a thing.

Sun Lan finally couldn't help but ask, "Which Father-in-law Zhang?"

The scene at the dinner table was a little awkward.

Zhu Hao didn't hide it this time, and returned with a smile: "The master of ceremonies is in charge of the eunuch Zhang Zuo and Gonggong Zhang, and I am an old friend of him."
