The house of the celebrant is big and old, and the light is not very good, and at this time, the sky is snowing heavily and the clouds are thick, and the light is even darker, even if the house is lit in broad daylight, it still gives people a dim feeling, the weather is cold, so it is cold and dark, and it is indeed heavier yin.

Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, counted a lot of questions in front of Wei Zhongxian, and said that it was official business. Wei Zhongxian listened patiently, half-squinted his eyes and pretended to be deep, and then muttered in his throat, he spoke as if there was phlegm in his throat that could not be dissolved all the year round, but the strange thing was that it was very clear in front of the emperor.

Wei Zhongxian pretended to be profound, smiled and said: "The piece that came up said that the traitor has a gun and a cannon, and it is not easy to get things done with this question, so we don't care what kind of holy aunt he marries, or what kind of green forest king he worships, can't he just do things for the emperor and the court to calm down the chaos?" Zhang Wen is not short of silver flowers, he went to mix those private salt and private tea, our family looks at the unsubstantiated and untrustworthy......"

"Godfather!" Cui Chengxiu shouted urgently.

Wei Zhongxian snorted: "How many worms do you have in your stomach, will our family not know?" Zhang Wen is a Beijing official, he won the battle in the local area, and he was recruited back immediately, what is the use of him tinkering with those small fish and shrimp in the local area? Needless to say, let's see that the Donglin Party is finished, there are still undercurrents in the court, don't just worry about fighting in the nest, understand? ”

Cui Chengxiu sighed and said, "My son obeys." ”

At this time, Li Yongzhen saw that Cui Chengxiu had almost said something, so he continued to talk about things, he lowered his voice and said: "Godfather, last time the queen had a miscarriage, my son heard that someone chewed the root of his tongue in front of the queen, saying that it was the godfather that you sent someone to order the queen's acupoint, which made the mother have a miscarriage ......."

"Smack!" Wei Zhongxian's face was full of anger, and he put the teacup in his hand heavily on several cases, and the tea shook out and spilled all over the case.

"The eunuchs in the palace were not elected from the Shaolin Temple, what will they do! The queen is pregnant with a dragon species, does our family have that guts? Who chewed his tongue in the back and found out? ”

Li Yongzhen accompanied him and said carefully: "Godfather, that person has been caught, it is a palace maid from Kunning Palace, who is being detained in the Dongchang prison, and the godfather shows what to do." ”

Wei Zhongxian's horse face was already long, but it was longer at this time, and he said angrily: "Torture strictly, make sure she tells who instigated it!" ”

"Yes, godfather."

Li Yongzhen bent over and said sharply: "Godfather, the queen's miscarriage is naturally not our hands, but the queen's mother listens to these slanderous rumors, I'm afraid it will be ...... to you, godfather."

Wei Zhongxian said angrily: "There are more and more disagreements in this palace, who is the deacon brand of Kunning Palace, and how to discipline the people...... What you said makes some sense, the emperor often goes to Kunning Palace, is it difficult to ensure that people blow the pillow wind around the emperor, recently the emperor seems to be very dissatisfied with our family, is it because of this? ”

Cui Chengxiu took the opportunity to say: "The queen mother and Zhang Wen are related to each other, if the mother can't get along with us, Zhang Wen probably won't be towards us." ”

Wei Zhongxian's little eyes wandered, in his eyes, the big thing was too far away from him, and he didn't pay much attention to it, this kind of human affection, he was the most concerned. Cui Chengxiu wanted to separate Zhang Wen, and said a lot of alarmist things, Wei Zhongxian didn't feel anything, and at this time, as soon as the queen and Zhang Wen's relatives were contacted, Wei Zhongxian immediately became interested. He pondered for a while and said, "On weekdays, the queen can't see Zhang Wen, let's look at it, and even her sister can't see it." Don't worry, Zhang Wenzheng has won the battle at this moment, if he is dealt with immediately, the government and the opposition have opinions on us, and the emperor is not happy...... In this way, first recruit Zhang Wen to come back to Beijing, where can he jump in Beijing? ”

When Zhang Wen received the holy order to return to Beijing to offer Fu, it was already February. The spring breeze in February is like scissors, the spring in the south of the Yangtze River comes earlier than in Beijing, the willow buds, the green grass is quiet, the spring breeze is warm, and everything seems to be a new beginning in the new year.

This period of time was enough for him to be busy, and the busy thing was to establish the official order of Fujian, and the henchmen of the Governor's Palace, he was given civil and military official positions according to his loyalty and meritorious service. Although they are all acting for a certain official position, as soon as these people sit in their respective positions, they will establish their own power system and control the military and political affairs of Fujian.

If someone wants to say that he is nepotistic, there is no way, seeing that there are so many vacancies in a province, if you don't plant your own radish, do you let others plant it?

Although the governor does things in the local area, he still belongs to the Beijing officials, so the governor generally hangs the title of the imperial historian, Siqing and other Beijing officials, which is equivalent to the general minister of the Qin mission, and after completing the errand, he has to return to Beijing. The governor is not a fixed official position, some places have it, some places do not, or sometimes it is established, sometimes it is abolished, it is a temporary appointment of the yamen.

Zhang Wen let the people who defected to him get benefits, and the holy decree of the imperial court to summon him back to Beijing came, and he pondered that after returning to Beijing, he had to open up the joints, so that those acting officials could be recognized by the ministry. The officials also discerned the matter, and they all donated money to support Zhang Wen, and those who had more money in the family would pay more, and those who had less money would pay less, so that a big gang of people would send them up, and Zhang Wen actually received more than 300,000 taels of silver!

This is a very serious bribery, but Zhang Wen does not plan to take it alone, he wants to go back to Beijing and distribute it to various officials, so he is not afraid, whoever wants to investigate Lao Tzu will find out a large group of court officials, which is not something that ordinary people dare to do, nor is it something that ordinary people can do. Besides, the Metropolitan Inspectorate, which is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, has gone home to retire from the former Zuo Capital Imperial History, and Lao Tzu has the title of Deputy Capital Imperial History, who still comes to check this official?

The situation in the court is complicated, Zhang Wen knows it, but he still has to go back to Beijing. After he took care of his official business, he took a car to Hangzhou to see his wife and concubine again. For the time being, he didn't want to take them to Jingshi, and he had to wait for the situation to stabilize before he was safe.

There is a manor in the depths of the peach grove in Meijiawu, which is Shen Baguio's Zhuangzi, where the scenery is elegant and the landscape is pleasant. As soon as Zhang Wen arrived here, his mood became relaxed.

Zhang Wen lifted the curtain, looked at the green mountains and green waters, smelled the natural fragrance of flowers and trees, and even had the idea of retreating.

But he quickly dispelled this negative thought, not to say that life is too short and his ambitions have not yet been realized, but that this world is by no means a time for ease and pleasure. Motivation is his soul, Zhang Wen is reluctant to let go of what he holds, he will be very panicked without pursuit, and he doesn't know what he will become.

When the carriage arrived in front of the village, the gate was opened, and a group of servants stepped forward to open the door for Zhang Wen and lead the way. Zhang Wen had two women beside him, one was Zhang Ying, the other was the personal guard Xuan Yue, and he was accompanied by the housekeeper Cao An, some family guards and others.

A fat old man bowed down and said, "Old slave Shen Liu, welcome the owner and Mrs." Please go to Houzhuang to rest. ”

This Shen Liu is Shen Baguio's big housekeeper, and he is the old man left by Master Shen, who he has seen Zhang Wen before when he was the magistrate of Shangyu. Zhang Wen asked him to lead the way and enter from Qianzhuang. The front village is built to be simple and atmospheric, with gray walls and green tiles looking like a Jiangnan house, but when you enter the back village, you will have a different scenery. Strange flowers and stones, bamboo and green water, jade fence carved windows, extremely exquisite and elegant, its gorgeousness is more than the garden in the city and there is no deficiency. After entering the inner house, Shen Liu didn't go in, and changed to a woman in Xuanyi to lead the way.

On a white stone bridge, a graceful woman walked in front of her. Zhang Wen looked at it, and saw Han Amei's tall figure and graceful temperament coming. Shen Baguio didn't come, and Zhang asked for some reason.

Han Amei greeted Zhang Wen, saluted as a blessing, and said a crisp and tactful voice, making Zhang Wen flutter as if he was in the flowers.

Of the three ladies, Zhang Wen only had one daughter, and when he thought of his daughter, Zhang Wen asked, "What about Baguio?" ”

Han Amei said that she stayed in her room and was reluctant to come out. Zhang Wen didn't say anything, Shen Biyao liked to stay in the corner and didn't want to show up in public, Zhang Wen didn't blame him, so he left it behind and warmed up with Han Amei.

Han Amei said: "Xiangbu Ma Laoton, I have already arranged the accommodation and food, let's rest first." ”

"Okay, I'll take a break." Zhang Wen said casually.

Zhang Wen went back to the room to rest, because Zhang Wen was the only male master in the family, so he lived in the main house in the north, and he had already cleaned up, and the house sent more than a dozen slaves and maids to serve, and he cleaned up everywhere cleanly.

Zhang Ying and Zhang Wen went back to the room together, Zhang Wen rested for a while, and then said: "Come with me to see my daughter, they are more than half a year old, and I only saw them once." By the way, light makeup, what's the name of the little girl? ”

The maid next to her said lightly: "Back to the owner, I haven't taken a big name yet, Sister Baguio said that I will take it when the owner comes back, and now I have a milk name, called Cuiya." ”

Zhang Wen smiled after hearing this: "Cuiya, this milk name is appropriate, Baguio's name has a blue character in it, which just matches the green character." Wait, I have to think of a big name to go over, Ying'er, what do you think it's a good name? ”

"The daimyo naturally obtains more atmosphere, and she is a girl, so she naturally wants to be elegant, and she has a belly of poetry and books, isn't this handy?"

Zhang Wen stood up and paced back and forth, and soon he thought of a few names, all of which he felt were inappropriate, and finally said, "How about being called Jinchu?" "Saying" cloud: Jin Yu is beautiful and jade, jade is the best of all things, my daughter Zhang asked, naturally she is good-looking, and Jin has the meaning of virtue and virtue, this word is good. Add a first word, and the meaning of vitality, I hope she grows up to be a lively and lovely girl. Haha, what does Ying'er think of this name? ”

Zhang Ying said with a smile: "Xianggong is really different from those ordinary people, either flowers or grass names. Zhang Jinchu, the name is atmospheric and elegant, but it doesn't look like a girl's name. ”

Zhang Wen shook his head and said: "Just this name, I don't want her to be too delicate in the future, she can't stand a little wind and rain, and people have to be a little more generous." ”

Zhang Wen said as he pulled Zhang Ying and asked him to take the light makeup to Shen Baguio. The pattern of this manor is scattered, there are many houses, and there are various gardens, pools, mountains and stones interspersed among them, and the paths are winding, and Zhang Wen waited and walked along the stone road in the forest. The manor is Shen Biyao's manor, but she lives in a small garden in the corner, but this garden is cleaner, and even the stone road is scrubbed with a cloth. Zhang Wen knew that Shen Baguio was in this building, because she had a habit of cleanliness, and the place where she lived was always very clean, and she would try to get some petals, which seemed to be her hobby and habit.

There was the sound of a clanging piano in the wind, but the sound of the piano was messy, and there was no discipline at all.
