Yan Cigui

 Shuntianfu.

 In the study room, Shan Shen was writing quickly.

As the New Year approaches, the imperial court has set a seal for the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, and everyone in the house must be prepared.

 Having worked hard for a whole year, I want to have a good ending.

While I was busy, I heard a report from a clerk outside that the Duke of Fu had arrived.

Shan Shen was startled, got up and went out.

 Xu Jian strode in, familiar with the doors and roads, all the way to Houya.

Shan Shen bowed to him and said happily: "Why are you here before I have time to express my congratulations to you?"

“Come and borrow a chair from Mr. Shan,” Xu Jian said.

This statement was so confusing that Shan Shen didn’t understand it for a while.

Xu Jianduo explained two sentences: "Sir Shan knows that the Holy One doesn't like me being idle all day.

　　Normally I would put off things a lot, but since I have just been granted marriage by the Holy Spirit, it is not appropriate to put it off anymore.

I really don’t have a yamen I want to go to, and it’s only half a month before the new year, so I might as well come to Shuntian Mansion to sit down.

It's just a temporary measure. Master Shan doesn't need to take care of me. Just give me a chair and a bowl of tea. "

Shan Shen:…

 It’s better to do it raw than to do it cooked.

This guy really knows how to talk.

 But can Sir Shan not see it?

There were many people from the yamen on the left and right of the Qianbu Corridor approaching the imperial court, and there were many twists and turns in their relationship. Duke Fu just wanted to have tea and spend the New Year. Of course, they had Shuntian Mansion, which had good tea, water, and freedom.

 Ke Shuntian Mansion is a place where you just have tea and don’t do anything?

Come and sit on his property, and you can always get some money for tea.

Shan Shen was thinking about how to use the Bodhisattva he had found to save incense, but then he heard Xu Jian say something else.

"If it's useful..." Xu Jian paused, "It's almost the Chinese New Year, so there shouldn't be anything going on, right?"

Shan Shen’s eyes widened.

 That’s right!

 It’s the New Year, so it’s best to be peaceful and at ease.

  If there is really a need for the help of the Duke, the government office will not be able to survive this year?

Shan Shen asked the clerk to tidy up, and then said to Xu Jian: "The tables and chairs you had before are still there. I piled some files and miscellaneous things on them, so you can sit there if you move them away. If you don't mind the tea here, just sit there." "

 After saying this, Shan Shen thought about it and added two more sentences.

"Don't think I talk too much," he said. "The Holy One values ​​you so much, and pointed out Princess Ning'an to you. I always shirk the blame and want to be idle. It's really not the way to be a minister. You still have to find a place to go. Of course, Shuntian Mansion Familiar, but…”

 But Shuntian Prefecture is a carrot and a pit.



He is willing, but even the Duke of Fu is not willing.

From Shan Shen's point of view, the Duke of Guo certainly has the ability to run the yamen. It's no wonder that the emperor cherishes talents. However, the Duke of Guo only wants to be a Bodhisattva who occasionally gives guidance. The official position of Shuntian Prefecture Yin is so hard-working and takes care of everything big and small. , he didn’t want to bear the burden.

Pianshun Tianfu really does not have the incense to worship the Bodhisattva for a long time.

 The Holy Spirit also found the temple too small.

This Bodhisattva is indeed difficult to place.

However, that person is the Nine-Fifth One after all. If the Bodhisattva himself doesn’t have some intentions, how can he do it?

Xu Jian couldn't help but smile when he saw Master Shan hesitate to come and go, "I know what I'm doing."

 Expediency is indeed expedient, but it comes only when something happens.

 Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been unable to get through even the short half of a month before the Holy Emperor.

 He came from Lao Shi Xiang.

 The two of them returned to the study and sat down. Fragrant tea was already prepared.

Xu Jian was very pleased with himself. He picked up a few more books of the case files that he had just moved away and read them from cover to cover. Shan Shen also picked up the pen again, and suddenly a thought came to his mind.

 He does have areas where he needs to assist the Duke.

Hao Tong reported to the judge two or three times and said that Laoshi Lane was properly repaired. Jing Dafan suggested that some candidates should move in before the end of the year.

There are a lot of benefits, and Shan Shen listens and it makes sense, but the regulations are set, and they have to report them to the authorities one by one and wait for them to be approved. Isn’t it going to be after the new year?

It is not impossible for him to report directly to the royal study room regardless of the opinions of other officials in charge of the yamen, but it is not very authentic.

 This is not difficult for the Duke of Fu, it is not troublesome at all.

  Tea money, just two copper coins!

Shan Shen made up his mind.

 If you take it slowly, the person will sit on it until the **** is warmed up. Wait for an hour before he speaks.

On the other side, Xu Jian, who was flipping through documents, was also thinking about this matter.

 Based on his understanding of Shan Shen, Master Shan should be able to speak within today, tomorrow morning at the latest.

 He had better give the initiative to Shan Shen so as not to appear prepared.

　　Thoughts were all very good, but no one thought that someone would report to the government outside the government office.

The clerk hurriedly came to report: "Chen Gui, the uncle of Chengyi's residence, came with the handlebar of the residence and said that he wanted to report to the official."

Shan Shen almost choked when he took a sip of tea and turned to look at Xu Jian.

 Xu Jian was also slightly startled.

Chen Gui took the coachman of the uncle's house to report to the official, and he must have got the approval of the government.

 What is the little princess planning?

  Chen Gui and Niu Bo were also very surprised to see Xu Jian in the Yamen.

 Surprised, but relieved.

 There is someone in the yamen who is easy to do!

Chen Gui saluted, and remembered that it was the "first time" for him to meet Duke Fu, and briefly introduced his relationship with the uncle.

"Today the second lady and the eldest lady in the mansion went up the mountain to offer incense. It was Uncle Niu who was driving the car," Chen Gui said to Xu Jian and Shan Shen according to the prepared words, "On the way down the mountain, the car suddenly skidded. The rocks got stuck in the wheel, and I was afraid that the person and the car would fall down.

 After returning home, the more I thought about it, the more I became afraid. There were many pilgrims on the mountain road. What if...

Let us come to the yamen to report it and ask the yamen servants to take a look. If there is ice on the road, it is better to shovel it early. "

Hearing this, Shan Shen exclaimed in alarm: "As long as everything is fine, I will order some people to accompany you to the place where the trouble occurred."

 Xu Jian asked Shan Shen to take a step to speak.

The two of them walked aside and Xu Jian whispered: "Master Shan, please send more people and ask Zhang Fucheng to come with you?"

Shan Shen was quite surprised when he heard this.

 It was just shoveling some ice, something that the government officials could do, so why did Zhang Yuan have to go there?

 After thinking about it for a while, Shan Shen suddenly realized it.

 The new uncle has to behave.

 It’s not that this matter really requires such a number of people, but the new uncle must show his attitude of taking it seriously.

 Touching his beard, Shan Shen was happy: "Then just listen to the Duke and let Mr. Zhang go too."

Xu Jian thanked him, and when Shan Shen went to report to Zhang Yuan, he looked for Chen Gui again.

"What did the princess say?" he asked in a low voice.

Chen Gui was smart and hurriedly explained the whole ins and outs, and then said: "The princess suspected that someone had taken action, and Uncle Niu also felt that the road conditions were not right..."

After hearing this, Xu Jian asked again: "Do you have that piece of paper with you?"

“The princess gave it to me and asked me to go to Dacheng Tea House to ask about it later.” Chen Gui said and took it out of his sleeve.

Xu Jian took it, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

 Then, he handed it back to Chen Gui and said, "Before leaving the city, let someone tell the princess that the owner of this word is Yu Pu."
