When I heard this, I was stunned for a moment, and said: "My father-in-law's words are serious, and it is just a little credit that I have been treated so favorably by my father-in-law Liu, and I am indeed a little flattered." Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "Gonggong Liu has always favored talents, not to mention that Master Zhang is a young hero. Then he said: "I am also surnamed Zhang, Zhang Yong's father-in-law is also surnamed Zhang, and you are also surnamed Zhang, maybe it was a family two hundred years ago." Our family must have offended you before, but this time and that time, now that everyone is a family, don't shirk it. Father-in-law Liu cherishes talents and is willing to pay, and soon you will know what's going on! ”

I thought for a moment, and Ning Boyang said over there: "Lord Qianhu, since Gonggong Liu is so loving, we will accept it, not to mention that the emperor also knows about this matter, if he shirks it, won't it chill everyone's hearts!" ”

Zhang Zhong said repeatedly: "That's it, that is, if you refuse to accept it, then you will pick our family's gift again!" ”

I knew that I couldn't shirk it, so I thought I would accept it, discuss it with Liao Jianzhong and others, and then make a decision, and then make a decision, and then hugged my fists and said: "Since Father-in-law Liu is loved, father-in-law, and the younger brother will accept it, I will definitely go to the door to thank Father-in-law Liu for his great kindness, I am ashamed to say that the younger brother is young and ignorant, and I will ask Father-in-law Liu and father-in-law to take care of it in the future!" ”

Zhang Zhong was overjoyed and said: "Where is the Lord of Qianhu, since you can recognize this brother of our family, you will be called a brother in the future." Our family really doesn't hide it, Grandpa Liu really loves you and thinks you are a rare talent. In this way, if you go to thank Father-in-law Liu another day, he will treat him with great courtesy. ”

I guessed that Liu Jin wanted to win me over, and when I thought of that gloomy face, I was a little scared, but I still smiled and said, "In the future, please ask my brother to dial it!" Zhang Zhong was very proud and said, "Let's go, let's go into your mansion and have a look!" ”

Mr. Hu, a man in his thirties with a chubby face, saw me coming, and hurriedly came over to give a deep salute and said, "Master, you are back!" The villain's surname is Hu, he is your housekeeper, I have been doing this for 12 years, I used to work in the Zhenguo Mansion, and now I am arranged by Liu Gonggong to serve you here, what do you have to say, the villain must do it! ”

He called ten maidservants over and said, "They are also the maids specially bought by Father-in-law Liu, and they look okay, they only need to be trained for three days, their hands and feet must be flexible, and they are guaranteed to serve a good master!" ”

I hurriedly glanced at it, and sure enough, it was all young women, my face was hot, and I said, "Manager Hu, lead everyone around first!" ”

Mr. Hu answered, led a few of us to walk, the yard is not too big, but the buildings are full of pavilions, and there is even a small garden, it should be said that it is newly built, presumably the owner of the pioneer did not have time to live, and it belonged to others.

Ning Boyang and Hardy looked straight, it was the first time in my life to live in such a big house, and my eyes were really not enough. Zhang Zhong kept smiling at the three of us, and when he came to the living room to rest, he said to me: "Brother, what do you have to do, just tell me that I can find me when I am listed in Dongchang, and in the future, our brothers will work together, and a good future is just around the corner!" ”

I nodded and said, "Little brother listens to my brother, why don't I invite my brother to drink tonight!" Zhang Zhong was overjoyed and said, "I have something to do in the afternoon, let's go to the old store of the Ping family in the evening!" I naturally agreed, and Zhang Zhong then left.

"Second brother, it's so good here, it seems that Gonggong Liu is not thin on you!" Ning Boyang said, Hardy nodded again and again, and said: "It's great that there is such a good house in the world, and we can live in it!" ”

Ning Boyang said: "This house belongs to your second brother, but it's not yours!" Hardy scratched his head seriously and asked, "It's the second brother's, isn't the second brother's also ours?" Ning Boyang laughed, and I laughed: "Of course it's yours, and it's ours." Manager Hu, our brothers and sisters are inseparable, and we have arranged rooms for them. Manager Hu hurriedly smiled: "I know, I know, Ning Ye and Ha Ye are your good brothers, the three Taoyuan brothers were righteous back then, and today Ning Zhang Ha is the third brother, the villains must serve well!" ”

Such a big mansion will be given to me, I don't feel very comfortable in my heart, Ning Boyang seemed to see through my thoughts, and said in a low voice: "This house is from Liu Tai of Tai Hospital." "I was shocked, Liu Tai and Zheng Yuan of the Tai Hospital were convicted of treating the first emperor, although the court said that it would not be investigated, but I heard that it had been secretly removed, and all the real estate objects were divided. The reason why he is so good to you seems to be the meaning of the palace. "In the palace?" I didn't think it was strange, Ning Boyang smiled: "It seems to have something to do with Miss Ning Xi, it seems, second brother, you are not only prosperous in official affairs, but also very lucky!" ”

My face was hot and I said, "When you are a big brother, what are you talking about?" However, this matter needs to be clarified, otherwise, we will move in without permission, and if someone impeaches, we will not be able to tell the truth. Ning Boyang nodded, I felt that I should talk to Liao Jianzhong, and said to the two of them at the moment: "You just stay here, pack up, I will go back to the Zhenfu Division, there is still one official business to deal with!" ”

Ning Boyang said: "Shall I go back with you?" I waved my hand and said, "No need, I'll go and go back, you can look at the arrangement here!" ”

I mounted my horse and went back to Zhenfusi, and the journey was less than half an hour. When passing through Chaoyang Gate, I saw a carriage coming out of the city, and there were more than 20 carriages, which attracted the attention of pedestrians. Curious, I grabbed the reins of my horse and watched.

Riding on the horse at the head were two old men with white beards, and if you took a closer look, it was Xie Qian and Liu Jian, although the two were wearing casual clothes, they still had an official attitude in their gestures. It turned out that Emperor Zhengde had agreed to the two of them to return to their hometown.

Xie Qian and Liu Jian are all entrusted by the Hongzhi Emperor to be a lonely minister, and their character and talent are even more models of officialdom.

Now that the two of them left Beijing at the same time, the officials who saw them off did not see that according to common sense, the emperor was allowed to retire, and there were a lot of gifts, but many discerning people have seen that Liu Jin is becoming more and more favored, and his power will soon be comparable to that of Wang Zhen of the previous dynasty, and even more so. The days have proved this, and what happened later is even more amazing!

"Master Zhang, are you here too?" I don't know when, Lin Sheng, who was dressed in civilian clothes, came to my side, and there were still the two entourages behind me, I quickly jumped off the horse and said, "Grandpa Lin!" What are you ——? Lin Sheng said in a low voice: "They told the old man to return to his hometown, let's come over and see who is coming to see them off?" ”

I looked around and said, "I'm afraid no one dares to come, right?" Lin Sheng smiled and said, "It is human nature for people to take tea and cool down. It's just that the people who can come to see them off must be people who value love and righteousness, and our family is here, not to embarrass these people, but to see if there is! ”

Then he asked me, "What are you doing here?" I was busy explaining and said that I was going to see Liao Jianzhong, Lin Sheng smiled and said: "Commander Liao has gone to the palace, and you won't be able to see him when you go back, so it's better to take a look with our family!" ”

Naturally, I agreed, and when I looked around, I always felt that someone was looking at us.

According to the past, there will always be someone to see off the officials, especially the famous cabinet ministers, protégés and former officials all over the world, and fellow villagers will come, presumably the officials are afraid of Liu Jin and dare not come out to see them off. The people around them recognized them, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't stop shaking their heads and sighing, but they didn't dare to say more. Chaoyangmen gradually returned to smoothness, and Lin Sheng sighed: "The lessons of the previous car, the rut of the rear car." My generations are duckweed, whether to go with the flow or turn the tide, I really don't know, I have to be careful! Let's go out of town! ”

We did not follow Xie and Liu, but went out of Dongzhimen, went around in a circle, from the fork in the road, to a small forest in front of them, so that we could secretly see the scene on the official road, I secretly admired Lin Sheng, thoughtful.

After a short time, Xie and Liu came in a hurry. The two seemed to be talking and laughing freely, and they didn't feel embarrassed by the lack of one to send each other. I only heard Xie Qian say: "Brother Liu, you and I left home when we were young, and now we can say that our sideburns are all white, what are Brother Liu's plans to go back this time?" ”

Liu Jian said: "I have been an official for more than 30 years, I miss my hometown, and now my body is fine, I can walk around, and then recuperate behind closed doors, and write out my experience over the years, which can be regarded as an explanation for future generations." What are Brother Xie's plans? ”

Xie Qian said: "My body is not as strong as Brother Liu, I can only be at home, hey, I haven't read much over the years, so naturally I go back to study." When you interact with young people and meet the right talents, you naturally have to recommend them to the imperial court. ”

"You two are so comfortable, just leave!" Someone shouted from afar, Xie Qian and Liu Jian were stunned, but they saw Li Dongyang galloping on a horse, followed by only one entourage.
