When Wen Zhan and I dragged our clothes on and went out, Yuezheng lost his temper in the flower hall.He has bulging cheeks like a meat bun, and a small plump mouth. He is standing on a nanmu chair, with Liu Congrong protecting him on one side, and Cucumber on the other side keeps saying, "Little ancestor, you Don't be annoyed, even if this servant has the guts to stop you from seeing the lord, the lord is indeed busy, and he will come to see you as soon as he finishes his work."

"Humph!"

The little fat duck raised its small chin, closed its eyes and raised its nostrils to the sky, like a petted little Wen Zhan.

Wen Zhan straightened his clothes with both hands, walked into the flower hall, and said softly, "Yue Zheng, why are you being naughty again?"

Yuezheng seems to have met Tathagata Buddha's grandson monkey, and immediately became honest. He obediently used his hands and feet, climbed off the nanmu high chair, stood in front of Wen Zhan in a well-behaved manner, and spoke quietly, "Sixth brother, Yuezheng is not mischievous. It's just that Yuezheng hasn't seen Brother Yi for a long time, and I miss him very much."

Wen Zhan went over and touched the top of Yuezheng's hair, and said, "You can't mess around in the palace, and you can't be naughty in the palace of praying for the king. Yuezheng, you have grown up."

One thing falls one thing.

In fact, Wen Zhan loves Yuezheng very much and treats him very well. He neither pampers Yuezheng to be lawless, nor harshly makes Yuezheng sad. In this Dazheng Palace, with Wen Zhan, Yuezheng is a very happy child.I have always felt that Wen Zhan should be a suitable father, perhaps more suitable than my father. If he has children in the future, he will definitely treat his children well.

"Ah! Brother Yi!!——"

When Yuezheng saw that I was coming, he immediately divided his tasks. He yelped and rushed towards me. I hugged him, and he put his arms around my neck and said sweetly, "Yi Brother, kiss me."

I wish for it!

I kissed his greasy fat face, but Yuezheng made an inch of it. He pointed at his small mouth and said to me, "Brother Yi, I want to eat too."

I was puzzled, "What do you eat?"

"Last time I saw Brother Six eating your mouth, it seemed delicious, I want it too!"

"what!--"

I was so frightened that I almost threw him away. What was even more frightening was that my skin, which was thicker than the corner of the city wall of Yongjing, turned red, hot, and burned.Wen Zhan walked over quietly, grabbed Yuezheng's clothes and pulled him out of my arms, wrapped him up, turned to me and said, "I'm going back to the palace tonight, this little guy, I'll go back to the palace first." Take it away, wait for him to stop making trouble, and then bring it to you."

After finishing speaking, Yue Zheng was not allowed to cry, and went outside while holding him.

Yuezheng held his arms in his arms and waved at me. Wen Zhan touched the top of his head and said, "Pei Guifei won't let you spend the night outside, and I can't stay here tonight. Tell me, do you want to stay here with your brother Yi, cause trouble for him, or go back to the palace with me?"

Yuezheng pursed her mouth, nestled in Wen Zhan's arms, and stopped talking.

I looked at the two brothers, I smiled, and Wen Zhan also smiled.He walked out of the flower hall, Liu Congrong hurriedly followed behind him, took two steps, Wen Zhan turned his head, and after two more steps, he turned his head again.

He smiled at me again, "I'm leaving."

"Oh." I also nodded and smiled at him.

He continued to walk out, and always turned his head. I stood at Xiao Canglang's side and watched him until he turned around the mandala flower pavilion. The branches and leaves over there blocked him, and I couldn't see him anymore. I just went back to the flower hall on Xiaocanglang's side.

The dinner was fine, it was made of bamboo shoots and shrimp balls. After I had dinner, the porter outside reported in and said, "Master Uncle is here."

When I heard it, I was quite surprised.

My uncle Cui Yan is the magistrate of Meicheng County, so he is also Cui Bicheng's father.Although he is a serious scholar, he does not have the talent and talent of Chu Qiangsheng and Du Huan, so he has been working as a small clerk in a down-to-earth manner. After my mother has developed, he will truly become a seventh-rank official.

My uncle usually does not come to Yongjing when he has nothing to do. He is not good at building relationships with the six departments and nine ministers, nor does he like to show off with those literati in Yongjing, and he is not willing to curry favor with princes and generals. So there are only two reasons for him to come to Yongjing. , First, come to the Ministry of Officials in Yongjing to report on your work, and second, send me smoked rabbits.

Meicheng County has many mountains, many forests, and many rabbits. The smoked rabbits there are a must. I like to eat them very much. So every year when the rabbits are plump, my uncle buys two with his salary and puts them in bamboo baskets. , bring it to me to eat.The rabbits he picked were different from those picked by others. The rabbits he picked were taken out of common people's stoves.

As soon as I got outside, I asked Cucumber, "Is my uncle here in official uniform or regular uniform?"

My uncle has a particular point. When he wears official clothes, he enters the palace through the side door, just like ordinary officials who enter the palace. If he wears ordinary clothes, he goes through the corner door, as if some poor relative is staying overnight.

I don't even know, how could such a simple uncle like a grass in Ranzhuang give birth to someone as flashy and enchanting as Old Cui?

Cucumber quickly said, "It's regular clothes, uncle has already come in."

"Oh."

I nodded, and when I got outside, I happened to see my uncle walking in front, with someone leading his donkey behind him.It was raining today, and my uncle was wearing a coir raincoat. He didn't dare to wear his official uniform, so he wrapped it in oiled paper and carried it on his back.There is only such a cloth bag behind him, and he does not carry a rabbit.

"My lord."

When he saw me, he followed the ancestral system first, and then said, "I'm going to report to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow, can I stay overnight at the palace tonight?"

I nodded quickly, of course.

Someone once asked my uncle Cui Yan, saying that he is superficially disdainful of following others and clinging to the powerful, but why does he have to live in the palace every time he goes to the Ministry of Officials to report on his duties?

Like a real farmer in Ranzhuang, my uncle put his hands in his armholes, sighed with drooping eyelids, and then said, "Hey, it's difficult for one person to manage a county, and the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people. Now there are farmers everywhere. The difficulty, it stands to reason that officials can live in a post station when they come to Beijing to report their duties, but in this world, people who live in a post station have to be rewarded with money, and each time it costs more than one or two taels. Meicheng County is small, has a large population, and is poor. One tael of silver is enough How many big white steamed buns to buy? Save as much as you can. Besides, I lived in the palace at night, and when I went to the Ministry of Officials the next day, those court officials would naturally treat me with a better temper, more politeness, and more patience. Make things difficult. If I go to the household department, I can usually ask the household department to raise some relief money. Hey, our Meicheng County is small, has a large population, is poor, and does not plan carefully. Life is not easy~~~~ ~~~~"

After speaking, he sighed again.

Others asked him for several years, and then never asked him again.

Everyone knows that his official performance is excellent every year. Although Meicheng County cannot be said to be rich, it is very comfortable and the people live comfortably.But no one got together to give my uncle any umbrellas or blue sky plaques, as if my uncle was a mediocre official who ruled by doing nothing.

At this time, my uncle would lie on a big wicker chair and bask in the sun, holding a big cattail fan, smiling, and saying, "You're getting older every day, let's just mess around, nothing is wrong~~~~~~~~"

He is always contented like a fat Ah Fu.

But today, I see that his complexion is not very good, he is a little puffy, like swollen, the bottom of his face is blue, and the corners of his mouth droop down.He sat on the armchair opposite me, lowered his head, and finally said softly, "My lord, actually I came this time to report Ding You to the official department..."

I was surprised, "What happened at home?"

He still lowered his head, "My father, oh, is the grandfather of the prince. He went there last night... the first half of the night was fine, but in the second half of the night he swallowed the arsenic himself,... and went."
