After returning to the Hou Mansion from Nancheng Yizhuang, Chen Kan returned to the backyard and moved a reclining chair to lie alone on the edge of the small lake.

It was rare to pour himself a glass of high-count liquor and taste it slowly.

The dust had settled on the White Lotus Sect, and he only felt a little empty in his heart.

Although he knew that this feeling was cheap, Chen Kan was not prepared to drive this feeling out of his heart.

Looking back on the more than two years since I came to Daming, the King of the Fighting Domain, the White Lotus Sect, Jinyiwei, Chen Ying, Yuan Rong, and Li Rang......

One enemy after another became a stepping stone under Chen Kan's feet.

The vassal king has lost its former color, the top of the White Lotus Sect has been wiped out, and the hidden power of the people is also being cleared in an orderly manner.

Jinyiwei has an extra opponent of the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

Chen Ying Chen Kan didn't move him for the time being, that's because he is still useful, just like a shepherd will let the sheep be chased by the gray wolf every once in a while, and those old and sick sheep will be eaten by the gray wolf, which is conducive to the development and growth of the sheep.

When the old and sick sheep in the flock are completely removed, the gray wolf will live to the end.

Yuan Rong and Li Rang completely lost their qualifications to line with him.

At this moment, Chen Kan only felt extremely lonely.

It seems that only in the endless battle can Chen Kan feel the meaning of life.

After half a glass of spirits, Chen Kan's face gradually began to turn red.

That's why Chen Kan doesn't like to drink spirits, he drinks and gets on his face easily.

To be more precise, this condition is called allergy in later generations, a certain hangover enzyme in the body is lower than that of normal people, and alcohol remains in the body and cannot volatilize, forming an alcohol allergy.

Zhu Zhanji ran to Chen Kan and glanced at it, then quickly ran away.

Because Chen Kan's current state is incomprehensible to him.

His eyes were half-closed, his face was blood-red, and his eyes were also red.

Drinking the remaining half glass of wine in one gulp, Chen Kan closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap.

But there are always guys who don't have long eyes to disturb Chen Kan's sweet dreams.

A dog's tail grass slashed through Chen Kan's nose, making him can't help but sneeze.

Even if he didn't open his eyes, Chen Kan knew that this must be Zhu Zhanji's idea.

Reaching out and grabbing it, he did catch a thin and small figure, Chen Kan miscalculated, the person who came was not Zhu Zhanji, but the smaller Zhu Zhanji.

Chen Kan slapped him on the buttocks, and asked angrily: "Why don't you go to study with your second senior brother, why do you come to disturb the teacher?" ”

Zhu Zhanyan struggled in Chen Kan's hands, and saw that he couldn't break free, so he had to say in a loud voice: "It was the senior brother and the second senior brother who called me, they said that you are in a bad mood today because of the death of a woman, and they also said that I will take you to the Qinhuai River to find a ......."

Before Zhu Zhanyan finished speaking, Chen Kan was suddenly furious.

As soon as he picked up Zhu Zhanyan's back collar, he walked towards a small building.

Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi, who were hiding behind the pillar, wanted to run away when they saw that something was wrong.

But no matter how noisy the two five or six-year-old children are, how can they escape the clutches of Chen Kan, an adult.

Soon, the screams of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanji killing pigs sounded in the courtyard, and from time to time there were also the sounds of intercession of flowers.

Chen Kan knew with his ass that this must be Zhu Zhanji's idea, how could such a well-behaved child know about a place like Qinhuai River and find a woman.

As for the four-year-old Zhu Zhanyan, it is even more impossible to know.

But... The process of small punishment and big admonition still needs to be walked, so none of the three people can escape.

When Zhu Di came to the backyard, he saw such a situation.

"Grandpa Huang save me!"

Zhu Zhanji seemed to see a savior, and he wanted to escape Chen Kan's restraint and rushed towards Zhu Di.

But how could Chen Kan let him get his wish.

Even if Zhu Di comes, so what?

It's indispensable to be beaten.

Zhu Di walked closer, watched with interest as Chen Kan violently assaulted the three minors, and gave Chen Kan advice from time to time, where it would hurt to hit, but not to hurt them.

Hearing Zhu Di spit out a textbook-like method of beating children, the eyes of the three little children instantly dimmed.

I thought it was a savior, but I never thought it was the beginning of bad luck.

According to Zhu Di's teaching, Chen Kan really felt that the fight was much smoother and more comfortable.

After teaching the three little children a hard lesson, Chen Kan put the bamboo strip in his hand back into the corner.

Then he panted and arched his hand to Zhu Di and said: "The criminals are not very obedient, teach me a lesson, let Your Majesty smile, I don't know that Your Majesty is coming, I have not greeted you from afar, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

Looking at the three little children lying on the ground, Zhu Di said with a smile: "It's okay, the child should be beaten if he is disobedient, and only under the stick can there be filial piety." ”

When the three little guys saw Chen Kan and Zhu Di salute, they turned over and wanted to run away.

was grabbed by Chen Kan by the collar and carried it back: "It's rude, what did you run away from seeing Your Majesty?" ”

Chen Kan didn't take it seriously, the main purpose was to teach the three little children a lesson, so the bamboo strip was just to greet them along their butts.

was scolded by Chen Kan like this, and the three of them had to cover their buttocks and salute Zhu Di respectfully.

"My grandson has seen the emperor's grandfather."

"I've seen Your Majesty when I spent my time."

"Hehe, it's all rude."

Zhu Di looked at Hua Shi with a smile: "You are the great-grandson of the Marquis of Dongqiu, right?" ”

Hua Shi glanced at Zhu Di with some resentment, and responded: "Back to Your Majesty, yes." ”

Zhu Di's eyes showed unconcealed affection, and said with a smile: "Not bad, yes, you have to be smart, follow your teacher to learn skills, and I will make you a big official in the future." ”

Chen Kan glanced at Zhu Di in surprise, and wanted to ask where he saw that this little kid was so clever?

But...... Can't.

The emperor is the biggest, and he said that if he is clever, he will be clever.

When he saw the flowers, he was still pretending to be stupid, and Chen Kan couldn't help but kick him in the ass: "Don't thank you, Your Majesty?" ”

With Zhu Di's words, it will be much easier to take the career path in the future.

Zhu Di will not be untargeted, he must have taken a fancy to something on this child.

Hua Shi woke up like a dream, and hurriedly bent down and saluted: "Your Majesty, I will definitely learn skills from the teacher and become a useful person to Daming in the future." ”

"Okay, okay, let's go play, I'll talk to your teacher about something."

Zhu Di smiled even more happily, because he found that these three little guys all had a sense of spirituality.

"Don't get out of here!"

Chen Kan scolded the three little boys, and watched the three little children go away, so he flatteringly moved a reclining chair for Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, please be seated."

Helping Zhu Di to sit down, Chen Kan hurriedly instructed the people in the mansion: "What are you doing in a daze, if you have any small snacks, hurry up, by the way, give me another pot of rice wine." ”

Zhu Di lay on the rocking chair with a big grin, reached out and took the silver pot containing high wine and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, and suddenly waved his hand and said: "What kind of rice wine do you want, I think this wine is very good, Chen boy, accompany me to have a drink." ”

Chen Kan's face suddenly became bitter.

However, Zhu Di wanted to drink, and Chen Kan naturally had no room to refuse.

Just as he was about to reach out and take the wine jug to pour it for Zhu Di, Zhu Di had already taken the lead in pouring two glasses of wine.

The emperor poured the wine himself, what a grace this is, now Chen Kan has to drink it even if he doesn't drink it.

After pouring it down, the strong liquor was so hot that Chen Kan's throat and eyes were uncomfortable.

His face turned red.

Sticking out his tongue, Chen Kan asked, "I don't know Your Majesty is here today?" ”

Zhu Di leaned his head back on the rocking chair, soaking up the sun, with a comfortable expression on his face.

Hearing Chen Kan's question, he said without raising his eyelids: "It's okay, I can't come?" Why, I came to your house, and you were not happy? ”

Chen Kan was silent, and then laughed and said: "How can it be, my father-in-law is here, and my son-in-law is naturally happy, but my father-in-law is busy with cases on weekdays, how can Yaxing come to my son-in-law's house today?" ”

Zhu Di didn't talk, because Chen Kan's words sounded like in his ears.

Seeing that Zhu Di didn't speak, Chen Kan also tacitly stopped speaking.

The ghost knows which words he says will make Zhu Di unhappy, silence is golden, silence is golden.

Leaning back on the recliner, this gentleman and a minister, a son-in-law and a son-in-law, just leisurely basking in the sun for a long day with the lake breeze.

The sun shines on people's bodies, making people lazy, unable to lift the slightest strength.

Before you know it, it's sunset.

"Stealing half a day's free."

Zhu Di suddenly sighed.

Chen Kan opened his eyes at the right time and echoed: "Yes, it's rare to bask in the sun so leisurely." ”

Then, Zhu Di was silent again.

After a while, Chen Kan sat up straight and bowed his hand to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want to stay in Nanjing. ”

Zhu Di's face remained unchanged and asked, "Why?" ”

Chen Kan grinned: "Chen's wife said that he misses Beijing, so the minister plans to take her to Beijing to have a look?" ”

Zhu Di asked, "How long are you going?" ”

Chen Kan pondered for a moment and said indifferently: "It's three years in the short, and five years in the long." ”

"Heh~"

Zhu Di suddenly chuckled and said with a smile: "You will hide and relax." ”

Chen Kan bowed slightly, to tell the truth, he thought so too.

Zhu Di continued to ask: "You are gone, what should I do with the Five Cities Terracotta Division, the Treasure Money Division, the Ordnance Supervisor, the Bank, and the Naval Academy?" ”

Chen Kan lay back on the rocking chair and said in a flat tone as much as possible: "The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has His Royal Highness King Zhao in charge, and it is actually the same whether there are ministers or not.

Now that the Treasure Money Division and the Ordnance Supervisor are on the right track, it is only natural that the craftsmen will burst out with unparalleled creativity. Banks also just need to develop step by step.

As for the Naval Academy, His Majesty has decreed that there will be talents from all over the world. ”

Zhu Di said: "You just light the fire." ”

Chen Kan said freely: "The minister is a lazy person, and it is good to be able to light a fire." ”

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, and his tone suddenly became serious: "You have thought about it, if you leave, everything you manage in the court will make wedding dresses for others." ”

Chen Kan also became serious: "The minister has thought twice, besides, for such a big thing as building Beijing, the minister can also help keep an eye on it in the past, and there is also the Army Academy, the minister can also go over and give some guidance."

As far as the current situation in the court is concerned, it is more useful for the minister to go to Beijing than to stay in Nanjing. ”

"Okay, in a few days, I will give you a will."

After speaking, Zhu Di got up and left the Hou Mansion without looking back, supported by the little eunuch who accompanied him.

Looking at Zhu Di's upright back, Chen Kan smiled and did not get up to send him off.

He knew that the purpose of Zhu Di's coming today was to make him give up control of the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

Because of the existence of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, it has affected his plan to kill.

So Chen Kan took the opportunity to propose to go to Beijing.

In this way, Zhu Di can show his strength, and Chen Kan can also go to Beijing to calmly lay out.

There is a decent result for all.

Chen Kan stretched and beckoned to a bush not far away.

Zhu Zhanji and Hua Shi took Zhu Zhan Yan and walked cautiously in front of Chen Kan.

Chen Kan pointed to the recliner between him and me Zhu Di, as well as the snacks on the folding table, and said indifferently: "I'll leave it to you, don't be lazy." ”

Leaving the endgame by the lake to the three little kids, Chen Kan couldn't help but stretch.

At this moment, he felt the freedom he had not received for a long time.

It's an amazing feeling.

It's not the first time he's left Beijing, going to Taiyuan, going to Shuzhong, and going to Yunnan, but he hasn't felt this way every time before.

And this time I went to Beijing, it was like suddenly breaking free from the shackles, and the whole person exuded a kind of comfort from the inside out.

"Yun Cheng, Yun Cheng, where did you die?"

Chen Kan stood in the backyard, calling out Yun Cheng's name loudly.

Not long after, Yun Cheng appeared in front of Chen Kan with a rolling belt.

Chen Kan asked, "Where is Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Yun Cheng stood firm and hurriedly said in a deep voice: "Back to Lord Hou, the master mother went to be invited by Mrs. Marquis Longping to settle the income of perfume and soap this quarter. ”

Chen Kandao: "Send someone to inform Your Highness immediately, we will move tomorrow, no, move now, notify you, our family will move to Beijing!" ”

Yun Cheng was stunned: "Everyone goes to Beijing? ”

Chen Kan nodded: "Yes, the whole family moves, we won't wade into the muddy water of Jingshi, call Fang Xu over to Benhou." ”

For such a big event as the family moving to Beijing, the subordinates of the Hou Mansion did not hear the news in advance, so after getting Yuncheng's arrangement, everyone was surprised.

In this regard, Yun Cheng was prepared, and he promised that those who were unwilling to follow the head of the family to Beijing could stay in Nanjing to guard the house and pay their wages.

However, although the subordinates of the Hou Mansion were in an employment relationship with the Hou Mansion, no one was willing to stay in Nanjing.

After digesting the news for a short time, the people suddenly burst out with great enthusiasm.

Many of them have lived in Nanjing all their lives, and they have never had the opportunity to go out and see the outside world on weekdays. If you don't take this opportunity to take a look in the north, when will you go?

What's more, the treatment of the Hou Mansion is unique in the entire Ming Dynasty, and no one is willing to lose this job.

Fang Xu hurriedly came: "Master Hou, what happened?" ”

Chen Kan said: "You hurry up and go to Beijing to buy a house by the Jinshui River, by the way, and then call someone to inform Xu Yuan, and tell him that in the future, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will be headed by His Royal Highness King Zhao, well, first." ”

Chang Ning, who went to settle the earnings, was also hurriedly called back.

When Zhu Yuelan returned home and saw the busy appearance of the entire Hou Mansion, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Even if you want to go to Beijing, you don't have to be in such a hurry, right?" ”

Chen Kan shook his head: "You have to be in a hurry, Your Majesty has come to drive away your husband today." ”
