In an exquisite courtyard with a plaque hanging on a stone, a rich man with a round face was walking around with a frown!
"Crunch!"
As the door of the small courtyard rang, a boy walked in quietly, "Master, Xu Jingcheng is here!"
"Please!"
The boy walked out quickly, and not long after, a man in gray robe entered the small courtyard!
"I'm here to pay my respects to you, Your Majesty!"
The round-faced man smiled and helped the man up, "Haha, now that I have resigned as the governor of Chengdu Prefecture, before His Majesty's appointment, I was just a farmer, how can I still be called an adult!"
The man in gray robe stood up straight and revealed his face! The Xu Jingcheng the boy mentioned was actually Jingcheng from the Household Department of Chengdu Prefecture!
And the identity of the round-faced man is now revealed! He is the previous prefect of Shen Hall, Mr. Yu Huiran, whom Jingcheng mentioned in the lobby!
"Xiaguan has been in Chengdu Mansion for several years, and he has mostly relied on adults for promotion! No matter when the heat is in Xiaguan's heart, he is still Shangguan!"
Xu Jingcheng said respectfully and solemnly.
Yu Huiran sighed slightly, "I'm interested! Ever since the imperial court order came, there have been many people in front of my door. There are not many people like you who still remember my love! I'm leaving to cool down my tea, but that's it!" "
After sighing, Yu Huiran asked again, "How?
Is the matter done?"
Xu Jingcheng shook his head helplessly, "My lord, not only did the newly appointed magistrate not sign any documents, but he also ordered people to guard all the treasuries and warehouses! Moreover, he also directly rejected the invitation from the lower official. .”
"What!"
Yu Huiran's expression changed drastically. Of course he knew the true situation in the account books, treasury, and warehouses.
However, even if you want to negotiate terms, is it necessary to do this?
Looking at the importance of the general's treasury, does this new official who doesn't know the rules really want to fight to the death with him?
Qian Li is an official just for money, what benefits can he get from doing this?
"Sir, don't be anxious!"
Xu Jingcheng said softly, "This lord probably doesn't have any other intentions, but wants to discuss terms with you! The person he sent to guard the treasury and the warehouse is Zhou Ziqiang, a strong man in the yamen. !”
When Yu Huiran heard this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief! If he wanted to kill him, he would definitely let his own men guard him! Now, instead of using strong men, it undoubtedly means that the newly appointed prefect did not The thought of losing everything.
"It seems that this guy has a big appetite!"
Yu Huiran sighed and said!
He thought for a moment, and then said to Xu Jingcheng, "Thank you for your hard work this time! I will pay a visit to this gentleman tonight! If he knows what he is interested in, it is not impossible to give him a taste. However, if he is If you are trying to be brave or have a big appetite..."...
On this day, after Shen Tang paid his respects to the Yamen, he stayed in the backyard to accompany his wives! He had just arrived, and although there were many things that needed to be done for him, he was not in a hurry.
Moreover, now the entire Chengdu mansion is probably staring at him.
If I don’t move, these people will probably feel even more uneasy!
The cook was brought here from home. Not only did this cook do her job well, but she also prepared the meals so that Liu Xiangling and the other girls were extremely satisfied. Therefore, she was asked to follow them to Chengdu Mansion.
After the family had dinner, the girls returned to the courtyard respectively, while Shen Tang was in the study looking at the various directories and books sent by Lu Feng! The old housekeeper Zhang Yifu sent away the others and followed Shen Tang in person. The hall is waiting attentively!
"Uncle Zhang, just let the servants do these things, why do you have to do it yourself!"
Looking at the old housekeeper who was carefully tidying up the somewhat messy study, Shen Tang felt dumbfounded.
After refilling Shen Tang's tea, the old butler smiled and said, "I am so considerate, I am lucky for you! However, these things are my duty. If I can only make trouble for you, why bother coming to Chengdu?" Mansion?
Besides, although the old slave is old, his body is still strong! If I serve the master for a few more years, it will not be a problem."
Shen Tang smiled and nodded, without trying to persuade him. The old housekeeper did not leave the study until the room was tidy up.
"Crunch..."
The door opened again, Shen Tang looked up, and saw Zhu'er pushing the door open and entering!
"Master, Miss said you have been tired these days, so I prepared hot water for you to scald your feet! Mrs. Muyu brought medicinal materials, which were brought by shopkeeper Mao, saying they can help the master get rid of fatigue! I don't know what the master is. It’s better to go to the hall here!”
Zhu'er's words made Shen Tang's face turn red. He had been really tired these days! Previously, he had been away from home for a long time, and naturally the time he spent with his wife was not very long. When he was in Lin'an, he happened to be married to Mu Yu. Even though I wanted to go to Xiang Ling and Yue'er's room but they were kicked out.
However, Mu Yu is a new lady, so naturally she cannot bear to be conquered!
Even on the road, Liu Xiangling and her daughter let themselves rest in Shao Muyu's room. It was not until a full month after the wedding day that the 'restrictions were released!'
These ladies are all his favorites, how could Shen Tang favor one over the other?
Therefore, I have been working hard recently!
"Go to the hall!"
Shen Tang stood up with a smile and followed Zhu'er into the side hall!
Shen Tang sat on the chair, and Zhu'er brought hot water in and took off Shen Tang's official boots! Then, a pair of delicate little hands gently scrubbed Shen Tang! For half an hour, Zhu'er took off Shen Tang's official boots. He took out his feet, scrubbed them clean, and put a soft blanket underneath for Shen Tang to step on!
After pouring the water, Zhu'er returned to the house again. Looking at Shen Tang's recuperation, he walked lightly behind Shen Tang and gently pressed his little hand on Shen Tang's head!
"Master, we have a visitor!"
Outside the door, the old housekeeper's voice came!
Shen Tang opened his eyes and said, "Please come in!"
Zhu'er behind him carefully retracted his hand like a frightened rabbit, "Master, I'll make you tea!"
After that, he ran out of the hall in a hurry!
Not long after, the old housekeeper led a round-faced man into the hall!
The old housekeeper turned around and left. The man bowed and saluted, "Yu Huiran, pay your respects to the magistrate!"
"How polite to you, Your Excellency! I am a late learner, but I should have taken the initiative to visit you, Your Majesty.
Now, I should not allow you to come in person!"
The words sounded nice, but the lazy look on Shen Tang's face and the feet curled up on the blanket didn't really sound sincere.
"Master Yu, please take a seat. I don't know whether Master Yu is here at night, but what's the important matter?"
Shen Tang said slowly!
Yu Huiran smiled and said, "After all, we are also colleagues! Before, this Chengdu Mansion was saved thanks to Mr. Shen.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I would have already become the target of Tubo.
Therefore, I owe Master Shen my life, why shouldn’t I come to express my gratitude?”
