After being on duty, on the second day, you only need to deal with the paperwork, and then you can go home to rest.Xin Mao looked at his old friend with some worry, and said in a low voice: "Go back and have a good rest, it's not too late to think about it after you have had enough rest."

Cen Shang didn't answer, he hired a carriage for the first time, and told the driver to hurry up.

Lang Huai had just expressed his intention, and Cen Shang's brain became hot, thinking that this was an excellent opportunity.If he could fall into the eyes of Duke Mu of the court, he would naturally be appreciated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.But when he wakes up to the current situation, he can't help but feel fear in his heart.

Detained in Chang'an for twenty years, Cen Shang still remembers how much he suffered when he came all the way from his hometown for the exam.The mother is the father's maid, and there are two elder brothers of the aunt, and the father only takes care of his mother and son's food, so why would he care about the life and death of a concubine, and why would he spend money to send him to study?

If it wasn't for my old mother who wronged me and begged my father to let him be a book boy for the two elder brothers, and stayed up all night making some embroidery secretly in exchange for money for him to study, where would Cen Shang be today?

Cen Shang had a small courtyard outside the city, but for the convenience of going to court, he still set up two rooms in Xinghuafang, and took his old mother with him to support her.After he returned home, he washed the vegetables and cooked, but his mind had already soared. He put too much salt in the meal, and he didn't eat it.

"Da Zhu, what are you thinking about?" Mother Cen, with gray hair and thick cotton clothes, was lying on the bed and asked her stunned son.

Cen Shang was startled and came back to his senses.He hesitated for a moment, and told Cen's mother everything that happened at night, and then said: "Mother, I only realized it after I agreed. If that one is really good, mother has worked hard all her life, and she will be troubled by me when she gets old. Why? How can I feel stupid."

How did you know that Cen's mother pulled her face immediately and scolded: "I have taught you for so many years, but I have taught you to be so timid?"

Cen Shang didn't understand, so he only heard the old lady get angry, but lowered his voice, and said, "You treat me as a student for this official job? It's for you not to be bullied by them, but it's not for Let you avoid things. Since you are an official in the court, you can't just think about your own gains and losses. I am a woman with little knowledge, but I also know a truth. The Turks are gone!"

Old Cen Shang blushed, knelt down and said in embarrassment: "Mother, stop talking, my son is fascinated by ghosts for a while, forgetting the teachings of the sages and sages!"

Cen's mother moved over tremblingly, pulled Cen Shang up, and said: "My old woman is half buried in the ground, how can I be afraid of this? I see that the prince is benevolent. Although I have never met him before, he is definitely not a person with poor fortune. Since you are an official, You can’t always try to protect yourself.”

How dare Cen Shang not listen, he hurriedly replied: "Yes, what mother said is true."

In the past ten days, Tao Jun has already verified this year's accounts.Not without problems, but small problems.Lang Huai listened to what he said, nodded and said: "Pei Geng is a smart person, if there are no problems, then the biggest problem is. If we insist on these small things, we will inevitably get what they want, and we will jump into the pit without knowing it .”

"Master, we are passive now, how can we deal with it?" Tao Jun's eyes were red from these days, and he yawned when he spoke.

郎怀看了他一眼，道：“你先归家去，给你两天假，歇够。待我想想，再说其他。”

"Master, this..." Tao Jun looked at her and said, "You can't have no one around you."

"Why is there no one around her?" An unknown person flashed past behind the screen, stood side by side with Tao Jun, bowed slightly to Lang Huai, and said, "Master, Xiao Tao looks down on others, I have to deal with him!"

The visitor was slender, with almond eyes and cherry lips, and he was actually Mingda.

"Girl." Tao Jun was taken aback for a moment, and when he saw Lang Huai caressing his forehead, he realized that his master had nothing to do.He only missed an hour, how could he know that Ming Da pretended to be Weiyangju's servant and used himself as an excuse to give Lang Huai a jacket.

"What girl is your name!" Mingda patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm also Master's servant, called..." She hesitated for a moment, and said, "My name is Muyue, Xiaomu."

Lang Huai suppressed a smile and said, "Tao Jun, you go back."

Tao Jun knew that it was wrong for him to stay, so he picked up the paperwork and turned to go out.Before leaving, he deliberately took him to the door and ordered the guard Mu Gong who was not far away to handle the official documents inside, and no one was allowed to enter without notification.

After Tao Jun left, Mingda hopped up to the front of the case, looked at the messy correspondence, and said, "You want to find flaws in these?"

Lang Huai hugged her, pressed her on his lap, stole a kiss first, and said: "There must be a flaw."

"When we were still in Linzi, Sister Shang sent a letter saying that the military pay and food in the four towns of Anxi had been withheld, and horse bandits would always be robbed during the food delivery. If there is nothing tricky about it, I definitely don't believe it."

"The fourth brother is also in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War is colluding with him. It is really easy to do some tricks to deduct the military salary." Ming Da leaned on Lang Huai, frowned and said: "But he wants so much money, I can still understand that the food and grass are not enough. Why?"

Li Qian needed money if he wanted to control hundreds of officials.It will cost even more to fight for the envoys of the states.Lang Huai said in a low voice: "At the beginning when my father conquered the west, he aimed to get it done once and for all. Many horse bandits were wiped out, and the rest have long since disappeared."

"I ordered people to investigate carefully. After a few months, I only found out that this group of horse bandits came and went like the wind, and they were well-equipped. There were about two hundred people." Lang Huai bit her ear, only feeling that his heart The fire in the fire became more and more vigorous, and some were just about to move.

Mingda pressed her hand clasped around his waist, and said in a low voice: "I can't think of any other place except for Gucheng sister. Then these grains and grass must have been taken by Tubo. Tubo and the fourth brother are on good terms. We have to be taken care of by the fourth brother, and in the future when the fourth brother wins the throne, we have to guard against the Tubo invasion."

"But it's just speculation between you and me, and we can't come up with any evidence." Lang Huai held Mingda's hands and said, "Even if there is, I'm afraid I can't win that one. I want to take this opportunity to Well arranged, take it..."

After she said in a low voice, Mingda's cherry lips in front of her eyes were so bright that she couldn't bear it any longer, and went to taste the sweetness.Ming Da groaned, but he didn't refuse any more, the two interlocked their fingers, and they only gave up after kissing until their hearts and souls were intoxicated.

All the officials of the Ministry of War today saw this scene.

When Mu Gong left, he was smiling all over his face, not the expressionless expression he used to be these days.No wonder I heard that Nan Nei had a deep affection for her, so she smiled and looked at her, she turned out to be quite handsome, not inferior to Pei Qing Pei's servant.

He didn't bother to pay attention to those surprised and probing eyes, and Lang Huai didn't want to be separated from Mingda for too long.She knew that among the bad guys there were masters following Mingda secretly, but she still recruited six masters from Lang's Nails, except that she was by Mingda's side at night, the rest of the time she watched and defended, only more cautious than before.

As for whether her identity as a woman will be discovered, Ming Da dismissed it with a word.That day, she recruited guards from bad people, and with just one word, they had to obey.

"Could it be that you want to investigate the matter between our husband and wife? What's more, brother Huai's martial arts is not good enough?"

Lang Huai rubbed his nose. Every time he thought about it, he felt that he could talk about the joys of the boudoir so openly. Apart from being funny, he only felt warmth.

From then on, Ming Da often pretended to be Lang Huai's eunuch, and even Pei Qing later recognized him, and Ming Da rolled his eyes back on the spot.

After lunch break that day, Lang Huai went to the yamen to sit for a while, dealt with the official documents that should have been dealt with, and called Pei Geng.

She just wanted to dispel Pei Geng's suspicion, so she pointed to the things on the table and said, "Tao Jun Muyue has checked all the accounts, and there are some things I don't know, so I specially asked the servant to ask."

"Your official knows everything you can say." Pei Geng straightened his expression, saw Lang Huai nodding, and took a step forward.Lang Huai asked him while answering, and soon he became suspicious.

She was really tricky in asking, but she just wanted Pei Geng to answer and it was over, so she put it lightly.Pei Geng became more and more confused, until Lang Huai let out a long sigh of relief, and said: "I know that these are some proper means, but it's just a show so that everyone can understand."

Pei Geng took a step back and said with a smile: "It is enough for the Duke to understand our hearts."

Lang Huai's expression suddenly changed, and he said: "Pei Shilang is thinking about it, it's not because I let go, but because His Highness has something to say, the Pei family has contributed to the community." After answering, he waved his hand to signal that he could leave.

Ming Da came out from behind, and thoughtfully said: "Ah Huai, I see, Pei Geng will definitely not accept your trick."

Lang Huai answered as a matter of course: "It must be."

"Then why are you bothering?" Mingda had never really practiced before, his mind was clear, but he couldn't grasp people's hearts.

Lang Huai stood up, didn't answer first, but put on his cloak and said: "It's rare that there are few things today, let's go to Third Brother's to ask for a drink, how about?"

She rolled her eyes, and Mingda knew that this meant that the walls had ears, so she responded, "It's the best, the spirits from Third Brother's are the best way to warm you up in such a cold weather!"

Lu Laosan is on duty and is not at the house.Lang Huai and Sai Yisi haven't seen each other for many years, and it's rare for her to recognize them.

After bringing refreshments into the house, Seis came in with the child in her arms.After so many years, the enchanting orchid at the time has faded away from her heavy makeup and dressed in ordinary clothes, but her Mandarin has improved a lot.

"My lord, the third child will be back in half an hour." She was a little shy, although she knew that her husband and Lang Huai were not only colleagues, but also close friends, but Lang Huai's identity was there, and she had a natural fear.

Seeing this, Mingda teased the child with beautiful makeup and said, "I remember that when third brother came back, you were pregnant. You look strong and about the same height as Xu'er. What's your name?"

As a mother, why don't you like others to praise your children?Seis suddenly relaxed, and said: "There is only a nickname, called Pocket. I also want to ask the Duke to give me a name, but I am afraid that the third child will see you and forget about his little things."

She could tell at a glance that Ming Da was a woman, and seeing the intimate behavior of the two of them, she knew that this was Ming Da who was famous in Chang'an.

Lang Huai shook his head and said: "Third brother, I'm afraid I really forgot, sister-in-law, please don't miss me, just call me Ah Huai. This is my wife's understanding."

She lowered her head to ponder, not knowing what to name her for a moment, she couldn't help laughing at herself: "Third brother must also know how much I weigh. If my sister-in-law is not in a hurry, it will be on me."

Seeing Lang Huai's response, Seys didn't feel dissatisfied, and replied: "No rush, take your time."
