old grace

Zhan Xuanji returned to Xiangzhou very low-key, before Tian Anmin sent someone to pick him up, he took Chen and his two concubines back to the countryside.

Does this make it clear that you want to quit? !

Xiangzhou is at a loss.

No one knows what happened between Zhan Xuanji and Chen Qi in Shuzhou, let alone whether he was relegated or assigned when he returned to Xiangzhou...

Chen Qi came back with a letter, saying that Zhan Xuanji was asked to return to Xiangzhou to preside over the overall situation, but there were only four words to preside over the overall situation, and the next series of words were all about arranging for Zhan Xuanji to educate the little man and teach him how to study and be successful...then What the hell do you mean?

If the above words are vague, it will be difficult for the people below.

Tian Wen went to Xie Qinghe to pick up the letter that Chen Qi sent to the East Building: "It is said to be 'in charge of the overall situation', the implication is that it is enough to take care of the general situation, and don't worry about the rest of the details. How much can Xiangzhou have now?" 'Overall situation'? Cultivation, population, taxation, trade routes, everything is managed by my father, and he can't take over - sitting in the east building is also a decoration, and I will go back to the countryside."

"However, what the lord wants is to let him be the husband of the young lord. Or go to the countryside and invite him back?" Tian Wen urged.

Xie Qinghe was making a nest for wild geese, the planer pushed out shavings all over the floor, and the big black dog was having fun among the wood flowers.

He had to work, and he was dressed neatly, with a leather bag on his waist, and two charcoal pencils inserted, and occasionally drew a mark on the wood.Seeing his engrossing appearance, Tian Wen wondered for a moment whether he hadn't listened to what he just said: "Xiao Langjun?"

"Is that letter addressed to me?" Xie Qinghe asked.

"The letter was written to the Donglou shogunate, but if the young gentleman accomplishes this, the landlord will naturally take a high look at it." Tian Wen said.

"Mr. Xu Zhang looks down on his appreciation, and wants me to win his appreciation?" Xie Qinghe planed the wood smooth and flat, and began to process another short board, "He likes it like this."

Saying that, Xie Qinghe threw a piece of wood out the door, and the big black dog who was playing in the wood flower chased it out at full speed.

Not long after, the big black dog brought back the short piece of wood, squatted down in front of Xie Qinghe, and waited excitedly for praise.

Xie Qinghe casually threw a piece of dried meat to it, continued to process the wood, and said, "If you don't want to be treated like a dog by him, you can't be caught by him."

"Xiao Lang-jun already has a countermeasure?" Tian Wen asked.

"Let's talk about it after winter." Xie Qinghe concentrated on making a nest for the wild geese, "I don't have time now."

"Mr. Xiaolang should know the prestige of Zhan's family in Xiangzhou. The old master is fashionable and can be controlled, and now the master is not in Xiangzhou..." Tian Wen is really worried about Chen Cong's situation. Reputation is such a mysterious thing, It is useless when suppressed by absolute force, but it can play a decisive role when the situation is ambiguous. "Whether Mr. Zhan is invited to give lectures or not is the next thing. In my humble opinion, should I tell him a little bit about the changes in Erlang's house?" ?”

"Uncle is the mastermind of the East Tower after all, and he doesn't even understand the situation, why should he and Bai Zhifeng be called Xiangzhou Shuangbi?"

Xie Qinghe didn't argue at all, and pushed away the shavings on the ground with his feet, and found a chisel: "Mr. Xu Zhang has nothing to go to the salesman's home to see. I'm making a bird's nest today, and I don't copy books. I have nothing to see."

Speaking of the Salesian, Tian Wen became even more enthusiastic: "Isn't it getting cold? There are not enough quilts in the Salesian. Can you burn some more charcoal pencils? They are said to be better than carving knives and ink sticks. Now that bean porridge is enough, children who raise rabbits are not allowed to kill rabbits, saying that they have developed feelings, and they can’t bear to eat their meat. The more they read, the more tricky they are! Or raise some chickens and ducks, chickens and ducks It loses its yellow hair and grows miscellaneous hair when it grows up, and it is not as fluffy and cute as a rabbit, so it can probably be slaughtered and eaten..."

Xie Qinghe listened to him rambling for a long time, and then he hummed for a long time, and said: "Mr. Xu Zhang needs anything, just go to Chang Jiuyang."

Chang Chao is now responsible for taking care of Xie Qinghe's expenses, relying on the monthly allowance for his concubine's children, Xie Qinghe's own use is not enough, not to mention raising Fu Chuan to cover all the expenses of the outer courtyard.After the pharmacy workshop and the paper workshop were handed over to Chen Qi, Xie Qinghe would not compete with his own business. He could do a lot of business, such as porcelain burning, charcoal burning, sugar making... quietly making money every day.

In addition to meeting daily expenses, most of the money earned is used in the sales home, mainly to raise orphans and abandoned children.

Xie Qinghe wrote the exegesis of the Mongolian book, but it was not widely spread to the world, so he directly handed it over to Tian Wen, and asked Tian Wen to teach it in the nursery.Over time, Tian Wen became the chief manager of the sales home, not only education and knowledge, but also everything about food and clothing.

The basic structure of the Xilou shogunate now is that Chang Jiuyang makes money, Tian Xu Zhanghua, and the two young gentlemen just play!

After sending Tian Wen away, Xie Qinghe made the wild geese's bird's nest messy, and Su Gu brought the servants to sweep the house, while he looked at the location of the bird's nest outside.The relationship between the wild goose and the big black dog is good, and the two sides can be regarded as a united front. The peacock and Fu Chuan are not easy to deal with.

Xie Qinghe was making a wild goose nest outside, two wild geese and a big black dog were circling around him, the peacock was so angry that he circled violently from a long distance away.

Fu Chuan came back with someone, without taking off his cloak, first came to hug Xie Qinghe's arm: "Brother!"

"I'm back. Is it cold outside?" Xie Qinghe just settled the nest, wrapped in cotton wool to keep out the cold, and led Fu Chuan into the house, "I left you boiled rice cakes, sprinkled with frosting sugar from the sugar shop , white and thin, you can taste it."

"It's sugar. Drinking honey every day makes people have a headache." Fu Chuan dipped his finger in a little frosting sugar and licked it.

The servants brought up the boiled rice cakes again, Fu Chuan sat on the table and ate two mouthfuls, he didn't like this kind of food very much.

Sugu brought the baby over with the nanny, and Fu Chuan washed his hands and looked at the child. The wound on the child's face had already healed, and he applied the skin-rejuvenating cream in time, but there was no trace left. Scars, the little baby can recognize people, and kicks its feet when it sees Fu Chuan, it seems very excited - Fu Chuan also thinks it is very funny, who doesn't like to be welcomed?

"Although he is a bit smelly, he is still quite cute." Fu Chuan said to Xie Qinghe, "Because he is my younger brother?"

Several nannies couldn't help laughing, Su Gu smiled and said: "Our little man doesn't smell bad, our little man has washed it clean, it smells good."

Su Gu has always called Xie Qinghe a little lord, and now she holds that little baby one by one, and praises that little baby is delicious. Xie Qinghe felt a little weird, and asked: "You went home today, didn't you ask Ji?" Father, what is the child's name?"

Fu Chuan raised his head and looked at him.He went to Mrs. Chang for a serious business, who remembers this?

"Brother saved his life, why don't you give him a name?" Fu Chuan didn't think Chen Ji was qualified to name him.

The child was cut out from the mother's body by Chen Ji, and it was only used as a prop and a sacrifice to intimidate Madam Chang. Ji has a heart of love and pity, and he will not throw the "dead" child on the cold ground!

Xie Qinghe shook his head, Chen Ji is alive, Chen Qi is not dead, there is no reason for cousins ​​to name cousins.

"Since he is Brother Jun's brother, let's call him Sanlang for now." Xie Qinghe asked Su Gu to carry the child down.

The servants in the house retreated very sensiblely.

"The words have already been delivered. Now the guards at the door are all uncle Li's acquaintances. They only buy some face from my mother, and they don't listen to Chen Ji's arrangements at all. Even if someone wants to persuade him to go to the uncle to make a monster, just enter the door." No. But, in my opinion, Chen Ji doesn't have the guts." Fu said.

"Of course he doesn't dare. However, sometimes he can't help himself." Xie Qinghe said.

"I don't really understand this point. The Chen family has been in charge of Xiangzhou for nearly a hundred years. Even if Zhan Qilin was the prefect of Xiangzhou, he hasn't left many close friends and old friends, right? Why are you so worried that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble?" Fu Chuanyu Due to his age, he didn't have much contact with Xiangzhou affairs, and he didn't inherit Chen Jun's memory. Most of his understanding of the whole world came from the historical records of later generations.

So, he really couldn't figure it out.

Why does Chen Qi always bring Zhan Xuanji with him?Chen Qi went to the front to fight, and asked Zhan Xuanji to accompany him to make suggestions.Chen Qi was in Xiangzhou to attend the funeral for Chen Fu, and he also asked Zhan Xuanji to accompany him to preside over government affairs in the East Building.Now that Zhan Xuanji went back to Xiangzhou alone, the elder brother specially asked him to warn Mrs. Chang, asking Mrs. Chang to guard the house and not to make troubles.

——What is Zhan Xuanji afraid of?

The saying that people take tea to cool down is not a joke, there is no absolute benefit involved, who is willing to risk losing the wind and being killed to start a new stove?

"The last time I went back to ride horses outside the city, we stopped at the tea stand in front of the temple when we passed by the west of the city. Do you know what kind of temple that is?" Xie Qinghe asked suddenly.

Fu Chuan didn't have much memory anymore, so he tried to think about it, and asked tentatively, "City God's Temple?"

Xie Qinghe couldn't help laughing: "When is this? There will be incense in the Chenghuang Temple 600 years later. The temple in the west of the city is the Shangqing Temple."

"Shangqing... Shangqing? Is that the temple of Uncle Xiangcheng Zhan Huan?" Fu Chuanzhen was a little surprised, "People in Xiangzhou worship Uncle Xiangcheng? Does grandfather allow it?"

Zhan Xuanji's grandfather, Zhan Huan, was a strong man of the generation. He was worshiped as a first-rank Shangqing, and he was the prime minister for 11 years.

Xiangzhou is the ancestral land of the Zhan family. When Zhan Huan was the prime minister of the Qin court, Emperor Xuan granted Xiangzhou to Zhan Huan.Later, Emperor Xuan still granted Zhan Huan the title of Minister of the City, but the title was false.

"At that time, Xiangzhou was in the hands of my grandfather. Even if Qin Ting wanted to seal it, it would depend on whether my grandfather was happy or not?" Fu said.

"Writing it on paper is a good story about the monarch and his ministers. In fact, Emperor Xuan wanted to use the title of Xiangcheng Bo to instigate Zhan's family to attack Chen's family. Zhan Huan refused to be Emperor Xuan's pawn, so he firmly resigned from the title of Xiangzhou. The common people also listened. I don't know the dangers here, but I only know that Zhan Huan is a loyal minister who protects the country, and I heard that he has become the Chancellor of Shangqing and has great power. When he died, Emperor Xuan boasted, and the people began to sacrifice." Xie Qinghe said.

Emperor Xuan was a veteran at burying nails, and Zhan Huan did not bury him back to Xiangzhou until his death, so Emperor Xuan asked Zhan Huan's son, Zhan Qilin, to take the post of prefect of Xiangzhou in the capital of Qin.Moreover, Emperor Xuan married his younger sister to Zhan Qilin, completely tying the Zhan family to Qin Ting's chariot.

However, Zhan Qilin is more relaxed than Zhan Huan.When Emperor Xuan was alive, Zhan Qilin flirted with Chen Fu. After Emperor Xuan died, Zhan Qilin sent his son Zhan Xuanji back to Xiangzhou, and let Zhan Xuanji marry Chen Fu's eldest daughter.

As the son-in-law of the Qin court, Zhan Qilin still has the ambition to regain Xiangzhou, but he can't stand up to the son born to Princess Daqin.

—— Zhan Xuanji doesn't like fighting.

In terms of reputation alone, Zhan Qilin can't compare with Chen Fu. Chen Fu is very reckless and down-to-earth, and the people of Xiangzhou like him very much.

The problem is that Chen Fu is dead.

The successor, Chen Qi, was not a concubine, and he was already criticized by others. His bitter temper was not well hidden, and he revealed his bad habit of massacring the city.

The common people will naturally sympathize with Chen Ji, the heir who has lost his heir. If he is assisted by the descendants of the virtuous minister Shangqing enshrined in the temple, he will uphold justice for Chen Ji... This matter is very difficult to operate in terms of strength, but public opinion It is especially capable of bombing camps.

Especially when most of Xiangzhou's troops followed Chen Qi to the front line, Xiangzhou was a little empty.

"Eldest uncle isn't that stupid, is he? It's not a joke that my father turned around and came back after messing up Xiangzhou." Fu said.

Xie Qinghe nodded: "I don't think he's that stupid either. He went straight to the countryside when he returned to Xiangzhou. I think he had thought of this a long time ago—if he can't stand it, there will always be stupid people jumping out. You let Mrs. Chang take care of the door, and we just watch the show. "
