Out of Chaoyangmen, only ten miles away, I saw a team of people and horses winding in the distance.

At the beginning, the gong opened the way, erected a pair of "quiet" and "avoidance" signs, eight green flags, flying tiger flags, apricot yellow flags, green fans, soldier fists, wild goose feather knives, beast swords, golden sticks, tong sticks two, four flag guns.

In addition, there is a standard of more than 1,000 pacesetters with swords and guns on their backs to escort them on both sides, and two chariots and horses are clustered in the middle. At the beginning, a four-horse cart yellow horse was tall, short, fat and thin, and it was Chen Hongmou, the governor of the constitution, in the middle.

After a pavilion, the pacesetters were escorted to stay in place, and only more than 200 people were left to move forward in a crowd of carriages and horses. Li Weijian and Wu Haiping didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly dodged on the side of the road.

When the carriage passed, Li Weijian respectfully bowed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the curtain of the carriage was lifted to reveal the feudal officials who were one hundred and fifty years away from the inside, and there was still the loyal and brave king sitting on the side.

Li Weijian watched the team go away, and hesitated and thought for a long time. Wu Haiping was envious when he saw it, and couldn't help but say: "The husband should be like this!" ”

After a pause, glancing at Li Weijian, Wu Haiping said: "Don't worry, with the talent of the son, you will be able to win the eyes of Chen Duxian in the future." ”

Going against the trend, knowing that he can't do it, such a character naturally makes Li Weijian admire. It's just that he knows very well in his heart that he and Chen Hongmou are taking two paths.

What Chen Hongmou wants to do is to make merit in the present generation, while Li Weijian wants to benefit in the future. His road is destined to have a mixed reputation, and in the future, I don't know how many small people will go bankrupt, and they will scold all the eighteen generations of Li Weijian's ancestors. But after a hundred years, when this hot land breaks free from the shackles and breaks the three-hundred-year curse, people will only remember his good son.

Thinking about this section, Li Weijian smiled to himself, shook his head and said: "This is a bit early, I am just a showman, and after the autumn season, I am just a lifter, where is it so easy to get into Chen Duxian's eyes?" Let's go, go back early today, read, review homework, and always talk about it after autumn first. ”

Wu Haiping responded, and the two turned their horses back.

But it was said that in the carriage pulled by four horses, Chen Hongmou and King Zhongyong sat side by side. King Zhongyong has never had a fight, so he announced the holy decree and moved Chen Hongmou to be the secretary of the ministry, and then squeezed into the same car with a dead face.

With a quick glance, King Zhongyong had already caught a glimpse of Li Weijian. When the curtain fell, King Zhongyong said, "Tianguan, that young Tianguan must pay attention. ”

"Oh?" Chen Hongmou said in his heart, which noble son of this family?

King Zhongyong smiled mysteriously: "This person's name is Li Weijian, and he is the nephew of Li Shouzhong, the former prince of the country. Although Li Fusheng has not been in Beijing for a long time, he has tossed so much power that even the saints have praised him again and again. ”

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, what did Li Fusheng do?"

King Zhongyong said hesitantly: "And let the king sell a pass, just wait until you enter the city and the heavenly officials will know at a glance." ”

Chen Hongmou became more and more puzzled in his heart, and he didn't know what great things Li Weijian had done. Che Gong Gong and Ma Xiaoxiao arrived in front of the Chaoyang Gate in a blink of an eye, and suddenly the team stopped, and a knight reported that there was a lieutenant in front of him to pass on the will.

Chen Hongmou and King Zhongyong hurriedly got out of the carriage, and saw that it was an old acquaintance, Dai Quan, the chief eunuch of Daming Palace.

Putting down the incense case, Chen Hongmou knelt down to receive the decree, and Dai Quan unfolded the decree and read it out: "Feng, the heavens carry it, the emperor's edict said: Since ancient times, the sages have ruled the country, relying on the auxiliary wings of talents. Those who contribute to the country and are trusted by the people are the pillars of the country. Chen Hongmou, the secretary of the advisory department, has both talent and morality, and has been used by the world. Special Jin Dongji Temple University Scholar, give a mansion, a thousand taels of gold...... Chin this! ”

Chen Hongmou bowed and said: "The minister is ashamed, he has not made an inch of merit in the country, how can he be ashamed to accept this position?" Please also ask the saint to think again. ”

Xuanma worships the prime minister, pays attention to three words and three concessions. Yi Dai Quan didn't think it was wrong, smiled and accepted the holy decree, and said: "Chen Tianguan, the post house is only afraid that it will be overcrowded, why don't Chen Tianguan stay in the mansion given by the saint first?" ”

Chen Hongmou surrendered, then got back into the car, and the team entered Chaoyangmen and walked towards the mansion given by the sage.

Because it has long been rumored that Chen Hongmou entered the Beijing Division today, it is because both sides of Chaoyangmen Street have already been crowded with onlookers.

Chen Hongmou is famous, and the people of Beijing are looking forward to it, and when the team is about to come, there are those who applaud with their palms, there are those who complain on the street, and there are more people who offer food to welcome the new people as the first assistant of the dynasty.

Rao is the official of the Shuntian Mansion, and this team is also extremely slow. After a while, King Zhongyong suddenly lifted the curtains, pointed not far away, and said, "Tianguan, look, that's what Li Fusheng tossed." ”

Chen Hongmou took a closer look, and saw that there was an open space between the two shops on the street, which was blocked by curtains, and then a cylindrical building rose from the ground. After walking around, Chen Hongmou didn't understand.

Because he asked, "What is that?" ”

"Water Tower."

"Water tower?"

When he heard that Li Weijian had relieved the country's difficulties by only relying on the method of digging sweet water wells, Chen Hongmou immediately smiled and bowed his head: "Yes, this son has some ability to manage things." In the coming days, the old man will always see him. ”

King Chung Yong smiled and said nothing. What can I do when I see the heart? Then Li Fusheng had already made up his mind, and he would enter the inner mansion as soon as the autumn was over.

Only six days later, Chen Hongmou was promoted to a scholar of the East Pole Palace, and became the first assistant of the court, and the secretary of the Ministry of Officials.

On the day he took office, Chen Hongmou wrote to the sage, asking the sage to restart the investigation in Beijing and clear the arrears.

This is the proper meaning of the question, if you want to change the law, you must first clear the officials. Emperor Zhenghe asked him to concurrently serve as the secretary of the ministry, which was to open the door for him.

It's just a matter of clearing the officials, and the worst thing is to clear the debts! For a while, there was a lot of bustling in the DPRK and China, and there were many incidents, which were not mentioned.

……………………………………

Let's say that after returning from Li Weijian's courtyard that day, Si Qi couldn't help but talk to the second girl Yingchun twice, and Yingchun responded every time, but Si Qi felt that he was afraid that the second girl would have to retreat again.

She was angry and anxious to replace her, but she was just a maid in the end, and she couldn't do this kind of overstepping. After thinking about it, I went to find Mrs. Xing when I had time to do so.

Because of Li Weijian, the family of the eldest man in the East Cross Courtyard not only bought cheap stocks, but also made a lot of benefits by matchmaking. So the eldest lord Jia Yu made a very generous move this time, and Mrs. Xing was careless, and she also got a pair of head jewelry.

This new cluster of heads and faces was just put on, and Mrs. Xing was looking in the mirror, and Si Qi came over.

Mrs. Xing ordered the maid to bring it in, and asked with a smile: "Si Qi, what are you looking for me today?" ”

"Big lady," Si Qi said, "it's still the second girl's matter." ”

Mrs. Xing's face was stunned: "Spring Festival? Didn't she go to see Brother Jian twice a while ago? ”

Si Qi frowned and said: "I've seen it, but every time it's like a wood, even if I speak, I only talk about polishing the book, and the rest is the three girls talking." ”

Mrs. Xing also asked about Yingchun in the past two days, but she only said that everything went well, where did she think that it would be like this? She frowned and thought about it, thinking that Tanchun was still young, if she was two or three years older, wouldn't this move contribute to Tanchun and Brother Frugal?

Mrs. Xing only said that Li Weijian had made a fortune earlier, but she didn't know exactly what happened. Yesterday, when the eldest man returned home, he drank too much wine and spit out, saying that the thrifty brother's current shares are worth 3.5 million taels of silver when they are released!

Mrs. Xing was speechless. Three and a half million taels, God is pitiful, when she got married, her family scraped together and spent all her money, so she made up 8,000 taels of silver. Rao is like this, and after that, the eldest man Jia Yu always dislikes the Xing family's shabby.

She really couldn't imagine what the situation was like for 3.5 million taels!

In the past, she only thought that she was a thrifty brother and a money bag, but now she can't wait to offer it as a god of wealth.

Hearing Si Qi say this, Mrs. Xing suddenly became angry: "You don't mention it, how can you let the second girl be so ignorant?" ”

Si Qi said: "The slave maid is calloused, but the second girl is that sex." I was in a hurry, and I didn't even talk to me. ”

Mrs. Xing frowned and got up, paced back and forth, and stopped: "This can't be done, you have to think of a way." ”

Cousin Pan You'an was far away, and Si Qi broke off his thoughts early. Xu was not deeply rooted, but after seeing Li Weijian a few times, she turned her mind to Li Weijian.

Because this is why I am so anxious about the second girl...... It can be regarded as a curve to save the country.

Si Qi thought for a while, opened his mouth to speak, but caught a glimpse of the maid on the side, and stopped again. Madame Xing caught a glimpse of his expression, looked left and right, and said, "You guys should step back first, and I'll talk to Si Qi." ”

A few maids and mothers-in-law retreated, and Mrs. Xing pulled Si Qi and said, "Do you have something to say?" ”

Si Qi said: "Big lady, the thrifty fourth brother is a measured person, if he follows the rules, he is only afraid of ...... It's harder. ”

"Huh?"

Si Qi was silent and silent, and Mrs. Xing suddenly remembered the medicinal wine brewed by the eldest master Jia Yu a while ago. Because he said, "Is there that medicine outside the world, mixed with wine, and if you drink it, you will be disordered?" ”

"Huh?" Si Qi was surprised.

Mrs. Xing stared at Si Qi with a straight face, like a peach blossom blooming, smiled, and patted Si Qi's hand again and again: "If this thing is done, there will be no benefits." ”

Ahh The more Mrs. Xing thinks about it, the better!

It doesn't matter if you marry Li Weijian or not, what matters is to hold the handle of Brother Jian'er. Mrs. Xing is not greedy, 3.5 million taels of silver, it's not too much to divide her 100,000 or 80,000, right?

Si Qi snorted and responded.

There is a saying: if things are not secret, they will lose their bodies, and if people are not secret, they will lose their ministers. Although Mrs. Xing didn't know this, she probably knew the inner truth.

She pondered and said, "I'll ask your grandmother to dispense medicine when I go back, and then find another opportunity to invite that frugal brother to eat and drink." If this is done, I will ask the old lady to promote you to a first-class maid. ”

Si Qi said: "I'm also thinking about the second girl...... Big wife, I don't ask for the side, I just want to serve the second girl for the rest of my life. ”

Mrs. Xing knew what she meant when she heard the strings, and said in her heart what to serve the second girl, this was obviously going to be a maid in the room. She smiled and didn't reveal it, thinking about the wrist in her sleeve. Then he stopped and said, "Wait a minute." ”

Mrs. Xing turned around and entered the inner room, found the most inconspicuous silver bracelet from the jewelry box and came back, and stuffed it in Si Qi's hand with a smile: "Take it!" ”

"It's-"

"If you are rewarded, just take it." Mrs. Xing said: "It's not easy for me to come forward in this matter, and you have to be in this situation." ”

Si Qi was speechless for a while, he wanted to use Mrs. Xing to promote this matter, but he didn't want Mrs. Xing to do nothing, but pushed it on his head. At this point, she is not unacceptable.

So Si Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll think about it." ”

Si Qi retreated, Mrs. Xing thought for a while, and ordered someone to call Wang Shanbao's family. To give medicine to Brother Jian'er, you have to think of Si Qi, but this medicine always has to be thought of by Mrs. Xing.

After a while, Wang Shanbao's family came, and Mrs. Xing patiently talked to her a few idle words, and then sent the maid away, and lowered her voice to tell Fang Cai's matter.

This Wang Shanbao's family is not a good one, and when he heard this, he secretly thought about it, and only shook his head and said that it was difficult to do.

Mrs. Xing knew the temperament of this companion room, so she immediately gave up two silver barley, and then Wang Shanbao's family smiled and said: "Madam, I heard that there is a Ma Dao Po in Tieji Temple, and her ability is the most powerful, so it is right to go to find that Ma Dao Po in this matter." ”

"Ma Daopo?" Mrs. Xing thought about it for a moment and said, "It sounds familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard it." ”

Wang Shanbao's family said: "Aunt Zhao in the courtyard of the second master, every once in a while, I invite that Ma Daopo to come, maybe my wife has heard of it." ”

Mrs. Xing remembered it at this time, and suddenly said: "It was her, but I don't know her tone-"

Wang Shanbao's family said: "I'll change my rhetoric and make sure that Ma Daopo doesn't get suspicious." ”

"That's fine."

The plan stopped, and without further ado, Wang Shanbao's family immediately left the Rongguo Mansion, borrowed the carriage in the mansion, and headed towards the Tieji Temple outside the city.

After looking for the Ma Daopo, she only said that Mrs. Xing and the eldest master Jia Yu had a disagreement, and gave up two taels of silver, so she exchanged a bag of Hehesan. Ma Daopo repeatedly instructed, saying that this harmony and dispersion should not be used much, and it is probably enough to mix two coins with a jar of old wine.

Wang Shanbao's family didn't have a word to answer, turned his head and went back to the mansion, but he forgot all about it, only found a jar of osmanthus brew, poured all the packets of nearly two taels of medicinal powder into it, and then sent it to Siqi.

Si Qi got the jar of wine, and only planned to find a reason to feast Li Weijian in his heart, but he didn't ask how much to drink.

After hiding the jar of osmanthus flowers, Si Qi transferred to the West Chamber to serve the second girl to welcome spring. At this time, Yingchun and Tanchun were gathered together, and the two discussed in a low voice, polishing Li Weijian's script.

Tanchun is still young, and she has never even read through the fourth book of women, and she can't polish ordinary sentences, but she can easily come to the words of heroes and heroes.

Si Qi waited on the side for a long time, and finally waited until Tanchun left, and then came to Yingchun's side and said: "Second girl, I just thought, these days the girl always bothers others with the fourth master, why don't you find a reason, and also invite the fourth master to help?" ”

Yingchun stopped his pen and ink and looked at Si Qi thoughtfully. Said: "This ...... Lonely men and widows, it's always not good? ”

Si Qi smiled and said, "What's wrong?" The girl can think about it, now that the thrifty fourth master is gaining momentum, I don't know how many girls from good families in the outside world want to find a good match for the thrifty fourth master. If the girl doesn't pay attention to it, I'm afraid that she will regret it afterwards. ”

This kind of truth is naturally known to Yingchun, and now that it has been broken by Si Qi, the second girl's heart is tight. But she didn't have an idea, so she only said, "I, I don't know...... Why don't you ask the eldest lady? ”

Si Qi suddenly had a bottom in his heart: "It's just that the eldest lady is in a hurry to ask, if the girl has no opinion, why don't I invite the fourth master later?" ”

Yingchun's face suddenly blushed, and he only responded like a mosquito.
