After the New Year, Zhang Fu had to inspect the border walls, and he rarely traveled far in recent years, so the mansion was a little unfamiliar, so he couldn't help but prepare for some days, and it was not until the fifth day of the day that he started to entertain relatives and friends.

The British Duke was dormant for many years, but once he received the emperor's trust, he actually went to inspect the border wall.

This is naturally good news, so many people give gifts during the Chinese New Year, which is considered to burn a hot stove in advance.

Chen Mo has been in the Ministry of Rites for quite some time, but after Fang Xingnan went back, he felt a little unfamiliar when he came back, so he had to go around and have to do something.

Although the British Duke Zhang Fu was afraid of the emperor, the first thing the emperor thought of at important moments was him and the important officials who had a lot of thought.

Therefore, if you can curry favor with such martial arts, you will naturally benefit from it in the future.

So he made a piece of gold from his cellar, shaped like a cow, and then ordered someone to buy a beautiful brocade box. Then he changed his official uniform and hurriedly rode his horse to the British Duke's Mansion.

After arriving at the Duke of England's mansion, the housekeeper who was receiving outside the door did not recognize him.

Chen Mo put down the brocade box from the accountant, and then reported his name and official title.

"Mr. Chen, the head of the Ministry of Rites, congratulated him."

After the bookkeeper recorded the gift, someone shouted.

Chen Mo was a little disappointed. He felt that this piece of dog-headed gold should be a treasure, but the accountant and the servant who received the gift just glanced at it, and his expression stopped without fluctuation.

A slave who has no eyesight!

Chen Mo spat in his heart, despised the dignified Duke's Mansion, but there was no servant with vision, and his mood gradually got better.

However, his official position was too small, and Xue Huamin and other staff did not come to greet him. Just a servant respectfully took him into the front yard.

Even though it was just the beginning of the year and the weather was cold, there were quite a few flowers and trees in the Duke's mansion.

Small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, waterfronts and pavilions are indispensable.

Of course, the Duke's Mansion cannot be aimless when treating guests, which means that the person who gives gifts shall prevail, plus a group of relatives and friends.

Chen Mo has been overseas for many years and has seen the magnificence of the sea and the depth of the primeval forest, so he inevitably took a few more glances at the gentle scenery of the Duke's Mansion.

The servants of the Duke's Mansion were naturally not simple. When they saw Chen Modong looking around and looking at the scenery, they smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Chen, if you want to visit the place, you can naturally ask someone to lead the way. Except for the study in the front yard, you can see it."

Chen Mo knew that he was a little rude, so he said, "I have some friends here, so when I meet, I will naturally talk about the past."

The servant couldn't help but turn his face and smiled, thinking to himself who doesn't know you, the bathing master! He also said that you have only been in the Ministry of Rites for a little while, and then he followed Xing and Bo to go out to sea. Where did you get your friends?

Unexpectedly, Chen Mo saw his brief smile, so Chen Mo said indignantly: "I have been in love with Xing and Bo for many years, why are you laughing?"

Fang Xing was the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion. Chen Mo said this with confidence, but the servant just agreed with his face, but his face was a little unwilling.

My son-in-law is the most useful minister of Your Majesty. Do you dare to stick to me as a small bathing official?

He was going to take Chen Mo to the place and report this to Xue Huamin, at least he couldn't mess with him.

The two of them were not optimistic and then they were silent.

Fortunately, the scenery in the Duke's Mansion is good, so Chen Mo is not lonely either.

After just finishing the praises of a bunch of bamboos, a water pavilion appeared in front of me.

This lake is an artificial lake, with no waves on the lake.

A pier by the lake leads to the water pavilion, and several maids are carrying wooden plates over.

Chen Mo glanced inside, but saw Fang Xing.

The one who is with Fang Xing is Xu Jingchang, and there is also Fang Zheng who was in the impeachment storm some time ago.

The servant who led the way glanced at Chen Mo, meaning that you have been in love with my son-in-law for many years, so why don’t you say hello quickly?

But there are two powerful people over there, and Fang Zheng will be awarded titles sooner or later.

Chen Mo was a little timid when the three powerful men were there.

The servant held back his laughter and continued to lead the way. Chen Mo felt disappointed that everything was going well today, and he was preparing to go to Qingshou Temple tomorrow to invite the monk Mingxin to take a look.

Thinking of Mingxin's eyes that seemed to have divine power, Chen Mo felt better.

"Chen Mo!"

At this moment, someone shouted in the water pavilion.

Chen Mo was thinking about something when he heard the sound, and suddenly his right eyebrows were raised, and he felt a stream of heat surge in his chest.

Just in the water pavilion, Fang Xingzheng smiled and waved.

The servant didn't expect this to be the case. When Chen Mo looked over proudly, he said respectfully: "I'm a little neglected, please."

Chen Mo said with a face, "I have gone."

The servant also felt that he had seen the wrong view, so he agreed respectfully.

Chen Mo's pride just arrived at the pier and became honest.

"I have met Xinghe Bo, Duke Ding, and Lord Fang."

This guy saluted Fang Xing first with his eyes and eyes clear. Fang Zheng naturally had no objection, but Xu Jingchang couldn't help but feel a little sore and asked, "Chen Mo, the Western mission is here again, haven't you been with them?"

These words were a bit harsh, but Fang Xing ignored them and just looked at Chen Mo with a smile.

But Chen Mo knew very well what was going on here: Xu Jingchang talked to him because of Fang Xing's face, otherwise he would not have been sour about you, the head of the Ministry of Rites! He just ignored it.

So Chen Mo said seriously: "The words of Duke Ding must be kept in mind. However, those envoys have experienced the naval battle commanded by Xing and Bo, and they all regarded the Ming Dynasty as gods. They did not dare to act rashly. They were all very honest. Only then did the officials have free time."

Xu Jingchang said unanimously: "The Western countries are barriers of the Ming Dynasty. Last time I heard Dehua say that these barriers are not of great effect. What do you think?"

Xu Jingchang usually looks like a playboy, but he is still running the Xu family.

And an important part here is to win over relationships.

When you see promising officials, you will make a good relationship. When the other party becomes prosperous, it will naturally be a helping hand.

Fang Xingming's abacus of these powerful families, but he did not stop him. He even thought about what would happen if Chen Mo had been begged by Xu Jingchang's disciple?

He felt that it would definitely be a funny guy who met an old playboy and then became the pistachio of the country, and the other generals of Hum and Ha.

Fang Xing was not interested in this kind of scene similar to the teaching exam, so he raised his glass to drink with Fang Zheng.

Chen Mo was just stunned for a moment, and then expressed his attitude, "Xing He Bo said that no matter whether it is useful or not, he must keep it. The lower officials agreed with it."

This is the serious version of Chen Mo.

But he woke up and refused to recruit him, which made Xu Jingchang feel a little embarrassed, so he said coldly: "Have you learned these in the Ministry of Rites?"

Although Xu Jingchang and Fang Xing looked like an old playboy when they got along, when he had a cold face, the aura of the powerful was really beyond what ordinary people could bear.

But Chen Mo raised his right eyebrows, and the despicable aura emanated. He said, "The Duke of the State is joking. The officials have entered the Ministry of Rites because of Xing and Bo's kindness. They are also taking a bath today and drinking tomorrow. If we were not for Xing and Bo's sake, we would have taken the shortcomings of Xiaguan and went directly to the official position."

These words are rare and well-organized, and they also express their attitude in a tactful way.

We are from Xinghe Bo, how can we be fickle!

Xu Jingchang looked ugly, but Fang Xing knew that this guy was a little embarrassed, but he was not relieved. Instead, he pointed to the wine glass on the table.

Can you actually be lucky enough to drink with these three big guys?

Chen Mo picked up the wine glass and drank it all excitedly, then said, "I'm sorry, the prince is from Xing and Bo."

"puff!"

Fang Xing squirted out a sip of wine.

"Ahem!!"

Fang Zheng was also choked, and then coughed like he had tuberculosis.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Xu Jingchang suddenly burst into laughter. He laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth. After calming down, he pointed at Chen Mo and woke up and said, "Dehua, is this your person? Take it home quickly."

Fang Xing turned dark and said, "What's the point of grabbing a mistake? Come on, drink and see who will pour it first!"

Xu Jingchang was jealously protected by Chen Mo, but Fang Xing wanted to protect Chen Mo, so he was unhappy and raised his glass to invite him to drink.
