Dress to be a celebrity

Huan Chun, a confidant sent by the Huan family to Fujian, entrusted the document jade ring to Huan Shilang, and told the whole story of the divorce in detail: "The Song family father and son didn't make things difficult, and agreed to divorce on the spot. It's just that when they came back..."

He hesitated to speak, secretly looking at Huan Shilang's expression.Huan Shilang nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Finally, is it true that the Song family in Baoding refuses again? After all, our family retired first, what else do they want, if it's not too much, it's what they want. "

Huan Chun swallowed his saliva, leaned over and replied: "It's not the Song family, it's something that happened to the fourth master... When the fourth master came to Wuping County, he asked about Song Shi—"

Mrs. Huan waved his hand, and said with some displeasure: "He is Bo'er's beloved disciple, and he is also a scholar. Is it your turn to call him by his name?"

The family quickly bowed their heads and apologized, and changed their words: "The third master of the Song family has a beloved child molester, so he, on a whim, asked someone to buy the child molester to compensate him...Unexpectedly, the talented scholars who used to associate with the child molester knew about it. He actually caught up with us and intercepted our family's car, injuring fourth master..."

The more he spoke, the thinner his voice was, the lower his head was lowered, and his body couldn't help trembling.Huan Shilang's calm face changed slightly, he twisted his long beard with his hands, suppressed his anger and asked: "Where is that evil obstacle? He is ignorant, and you are also ignorant! Why didn't you control him? I told him to take care of it firmly." He retired, he went to buy some kind of child molestation, and made such a shameful incident!"

Huan Chun was too frightened to speak, the butler next to Huan Shilang walked up to him and asked, "Is Fourth Master injured? Where is he now? Please make it clear, so the family can arrange someone to bring Fourth Master back!"

He replied tremblingly: "I was never injured. The younger ones would risk their lives to injure the fourth master. When those students smashed the car, they happened to pass by the local Xuezheng and saved us. The fourth master was afraid of hurting our family." reputation, and never reported their identity, so they calmed down and came back with the little ones..."

"Peace with others...he knows how to make peace with others! Why didn't he know how to make peace with others when he bought a child prostitute!" Huan Shilang told him that he was so angry that he lost control of his hands. Bring it back to me! Tell me about it in detail, don't hide it for that evil person, if there are any falsehoods, tell me to listen to others in the future, and I will drive your family out of Huan Mansion with a broken leg!"

How could Huan Chun dare to hide it for Huan Wen, so he talked about their true relationship after they arrived in Fujian: before Huan Wen went to retire, he first inquired about Song Shi's recent situation.Because I heard that his family regarded themselves as the son-in-law of the Huan family's east bed, they hated their father and son for taking advantage of the Huan family's power abroad, and also hated him for telling people about the marriage at will, ruining the reputation of his cousin, so he wanted to teach him a lesson and teach the world Everyone knew that he was not worthy of the daughter of the Huan family, and it was reasonable for their family to withdraw from the engagement.

After a group of them investigated, they heard that Song Shi valued a male whore's outfit, and would often call him to serve banquets.But there was also a scholar who had been friends with him in the early years, a member of a literary club, and Huan Wen was moved -

The students have fame and fame, are honored by the court and respected by the common people, and often manipulate the discussion, and often the local prefectures and counties dare not control them.These people also joined the literary society, relying on the support of celebrities and officials in the society, they became more and more daring.If Song Shi was asked to put green turbans on their commune members, I don't know what these people can do when they are so angry.

So they inquired about the male whore when he was serving a banquet at the house of a member of the literary agency, and asked a few people to buy him by force and send him outside the county government office, so that those scholars would conflict with the Song family.

"The fourth master saw that the third master Song brought the outfit back to the yamen, said that the matter was settled and there was no need to worry about it, so he took the children and left Wuping. But I don't know how the third master Song made peace with them. Those crazy scholars followed us, stopped Si Ye's car in Tingzhou Mansion, and beat up the little ones. It was at that time that we met the car driver who proposed to study..."

Old Mrs. Huan on the seat snorted coldly, the hall was silent, but the oppressive atmosphere made people dare not open their mouths.

Huan Chun was sweating coldly on his forehead and back, his voice was hoarse, and he almost prostrated himself on the ground to intercede for Huan Wen: "Si Ye was also shocked, and now he still has some symptoms, so he couldn't go home. I beg the old lady to see if Si Ye is sick For the sake of it, please forgive him..."

"Forgive him? Forgive this villain, the scholars in the world, the mouth of Youyou, who will spare the Huan family!" Huan Shilang only hated himself for calling this unconscious grandson to Wuping: "How can there be such a fool in the world! Then Song Shi was a talented man, and his future achievements are unknown. Even if the two families withdraw their marriage, they should not form an enmity. Did he do this because he was afraid that the Song family would not hate the Huan family deeply? He even called those scholars and Fujian tixueyu Shi caught..."

Huan Chun quickly defended himself: "Si Ye didn't reveal our family's identity, and those scholars didn't know anything about it, they only thought that Si Ye was an old enemy who had personal grievances with Song San Ye."

"That's because the Song family is thinking about the relationship between master and apprentice... and give me face as the Minister of Rites, but don't tell the truth. Could it be that he thought that this matter was done seamlessly, and he could hide it from others if he refused to admit it?"

Huan Shilang was so angry that he rubbed his temple with one hand, waved his hand and ordered: "Pull it down. Ask someone to bring back all the people who followed to Wuping, each of them will beat forty boards, and bring that evil to the front of the hall. I will see it personally." beat!"

The housekeeper asked someone to pull down Huan Chun who was crying and screaming. Hearing that he was crying and screaming, Huan Shilang was about to throw off the tiles on his head, and wrinkled again: "Don't let Brother Ling know about this. He and Song Shi have always been together." Be good, if you know Huan Wen's move, I'm afraid there will be a rift between his brothers."

Last time when he heard that his younger sister was going to be elected as the princess, he didn't even care about the important matters of sacrifice and sweeping, and hurried home to question the matter on the way; The love has faded.

Huan's family is not prosperous: he and his old wife had only two sons, the second son was the most famous, but died early;Among the three generations, only Huan Ling was the only one who was promising. He got the second-class Jinshi in the examination, and was selected as the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Among the remaining three grandsons, only the eldest grandson, Huan Ling, was promoted, but he missed the deputy list in this division. He was sent to Guozijian to sit in prison.

There are two grandsons left, one Huanqing is honest and dull, he only knows how to bury his head in reading, and he doesn't even like to socialize with scholars; let alone Huanwen, the troublemaker.If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have asked him to go, I would rather have called Huan Qing...

Even if Huan Qing can't be considerate of etiquette, at least he can withdraw the marriage honestly according to his wishes, which is better than this intentional enmity!

He has now ascended to the position of the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and his eldest granddaughter has also appointed the position of Princess Zhou. With the help of Fu Benbing, the nephew of the king of Zhou, he is only one step away from entering the cabinet. His official career can be said to be smooth.But the children and grandchildren are not good enough. Among the grandchildren, there is only Huan Ling who can support the family. When he becomes an official, will the Huan family still have such momentum?

The son of the Song family is also a gifted student, what if he secretly hates what happened today, and wants to get revenge on Huan Wen and the others if he achieves success in the future?Today he is willing to swallow his anger, half for friendship, but more for his power as the Minister of Rites, right?The father and son still have their own goals for fame, fortune, power and status, not to mention the relationship between a master and a student, and they can withstand several times of consumption...

Although he was sorry for the Song family, for his useless children and grandchildren, and for the good relationship between King Zhou and Yuan Niang, he could only suppress the father and son, not giving them the opportunity to occupy a high position, and revenge instead Huan's home.

He sighed deeply, walked to the study room, asked people to light candles, spread paper and grind ink, and sat down to write a letter to the river in Fujian that he had taken when he presided over the rural examination in his early years.

It was really against his conscience to write such a letter, and it was quite difficult for him to write, but when the candle was half burned, the letter was still finished.

The courtyard became quieter at night, and there were servants on duty outside the door, but they were all serious and silent, as if he was the only one in the empty courtyard.Huan Shilang suddenly hated the silence, patiently read the letter from the beginning to the end, folded it carefully, and raised his voice to call for someone to serve him.

Someone outside the door answered "Yes", and then there were very light footsteps approaching from far and near, adding a bit of popularity to the room.He relaxed a little, and ordered without looking back: "Go get the wax seal, I want to send a letter to Fujian."

The person behind him didn't agree, but directly took the letter paper from his hand, and unfolded it by himself.

Huan Shilang was furious, and he was about to scold him when he turned around, but he was full of words, but he stopped back when he saw the man's face - standing behind him was not some family servant, but the last person he wanted to see right now, His second grandson Huan Ling.

He only glanced at the paper, and saw clearly what Huan Shilang had written all night, then he folded the letter paper and stuffed it into his sleeve, gave a deep salute, and called his grandfather.

Huan Shilang also puts a lot of effort into nourishing his spirit, he let out a "hmm" and said calmly, "I didn't want you to intervene in this matter, but I guess you already knew about it."

Huan Ling was stared at by his grandfather's sharp gaze, but his expression did not change. He said calmly, "Grandfather, forgive me. Ever since I knew that my fourth brother had gone to Fujian, I have kept people watching this matter. Today my grandfather finished interrogating Huan Chun. I heard the news and went to Shijiawazi outside the city to find him and asked him thoroughly. In fact, the reason why he did this was not for Yuan Niang as Huan Chun said, but for Yuanniang. He has been jealous of his third brother since he was a child, jealous of his good talent and being loved by the elders."

He looked up at his grandfather, and said seriously: "Fourth brother is fine with his studies, but he must not be jealous of his talents. If grandfather allows him to harm the official today because of jealousy, why can't he harm me tomorrow? In the future If you do something that your grandfather can't even protect him, our Huan family will also be burdened by him, please think about it twice."

Huan Shilang sneered and said: "You are not in the Metropolitan Procuratorate so that you can do things for the imperial court, so you ran out of the city to teach your younger brother about an outsider? What's the use of the imperial court supporting you as a censor!"

Huan Ling said: "If our family hadn't ruined the marriage, the third brother Song would not be an outsider now. Grandfather doesn't have to plan how to suppress talented people, but should be happy that there are successors."

The words "there is a successor" directly poked Huan Shilang's heart, he couldn't help frowning, and said angrily, "Could it be that you still want to threaten grandpa with your own future for him?"

Huan Ling lowered his eyes and said meekly: "Grandson dare not. I can linger outside today and don't have to work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate because I have resigned from the post of censor and will soon be released to the Tingzhou government. The verdict is passed. I begged my teacher Lu Shoufu for many days to get this position, and the transfer document is now in the Ministry of Officials, this matter is truly inevitable."

what!

"You are a Qing noble censor, how can you go outside to be a chief official! It's just nonsense!" The censor has great power in the court, even the third-rank officials have to bow their heads, and it would be a disadvantage to send a chief envoy outside.His grandson didn't even want his future for outsiders, he would rather be transferred out to be a little sixth-rank leader!

Turbidity officer!

After this trip, the qualifications and prospects that were within easy reach are gone, and I don't even know when I will be able to return to Beijing again!

Huan Shilang was so angry that he became dizzy for a while, wishing he could be beaten to death 20 years earlier, lest he come today and ruin his life's hard work.

Huan Ling took out the letter from his sleeve and caressed it gently, and said with a submissive face: "The general sentence is in charge of criminal names, food and grass, and supervision of transportation. Which county below has a disadvantage in supervising tax and food transportation? The judge also has to bear the responsibility, and needs the care of Lu Daotai. If grandfather still has some disciples who are working in the local area, you might as well write a few more letters and send them to Fujian, so that the superiors can take care of me."
