At this time, the New Year was approaching, and Mrs. Juan was still in confinement, so she handed over the power of the Li Mansion to Chen Gong to deal with.

Chen Gong bought a little New Year's goods and sent them to the Li Mansion, thinking that he would also come here, so it would be better to visit Mrs. Juan, so he got up and walked to Mrs. Juan's room.

"How are you doing these days, sister?"

Mrs. Juan had just finished feeding the child at this time, and was looking at the child in her arms in a daze, when she suddenly heard the voice, she looked up at the door, and saw that it was Chen Gong and hurriedly said, "Why is my brother here, but there is news of Huiyi?" ”

Chen Gong looked at Mrs. Juan's expectant eyes, and didn't know how to answer, Mrs. Juan saw that Chen Gong didn't speak, so she lowered her head and whispered: "Actually, I already knew, but I didn't let myself admit it in my heart." ”

Seeing Mrs. Juan like this, Chen Gong stepped forward to comfort and said: "A few days ago, Gao Shun came to report that he found the lord's rags by a river on the cliff, and now if the lord is found, it must have been rescued, so my sister just needs to take care of her body and wait for the lord to come back." ”

When Mrs. Juan heard Chen Gong's words, a little hope regained in her eyes, she looked up at Chen Gong and said, "What my brother said is true, is there really nothing wrong with Huiyi?" ”

Chen Gong saw that what he said just now was effective, and hurriedly replied: "It's true, if my sister doesn't believe it, you can summon Gao Shun to come." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Juan said with a smile on her face: "Brother's words, my sister will definitely believe it." ”

Chen Gong saw Juanfu's long-lost smile, so he said: "The third day of the first lunar month is the full moon of the child, and now the child has no name, has my sister ever thought about it?" ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Juan gently stroked the child in her arms and said, "This happened as soon as Huiyi came back from the expedition, so it is not yet possible to choose a name, or my brother will name the child." ”

After hearing this, Chen Gong thought for a while and said: "From the dawn in the darkness, it is called Li Shu, how does my sister feel?" ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Juan read with her mouth: "Li Shu, Li Shu, you have a name, baby, you will be called Li Shu in the future." ”

Chen Gong watched the mother and daughter exude hope, and half of the big stone in her heart fell, Mrs. Juan read for a while, and then remembered that Chen Gong was still there, so she said: "Brother will stay in the mansion to eat today, and I will ask my subordinates to prepare some wine and food." ”

Chen Gong was also in a good mood at this time, and when he heard Juanfu's words, he didn't make excuses.

On the third day of the first lunar month, the Li Mansion ushered in the first happy event of the new year, and the people at the door kept receiving the guests.

Chen Gong saw that the banquet was almost full, so he got up and said, "Thank you for coming to witness the full moon of the lord's son, everyone drinks to their heart's content today." ”

After hearing this, the guests let go of their hands and feet and prepared to eat.

After half a year of drinking, one person got up and looked at Chen Gong and asked, "On such a happy day, I was just thinking about having a few drinks with Liaodonghou, why didn't I see it?" Is it to accompany Mrs. in the room, Lord Chen should invite Liaodong Hou out to have a few drinks with everyone. ”

When Chen Gong heard the prestige, he saw that it was Tian Shao, so he said: "You really don't hide it, the lord received His Majesty's edict a few years ago, and now he has gone to Luoyang, so today's banquet, my mother's family will entertain everyone, come, come, come, everyone have a drink." ”

Seeing that Chen Gong said this, Tian Shao raised his wine glass and drank it all, and then said: "I don't know what happened to Liaodong waiting to go to Luoyang, can you tell me and others?" ”

As soon as Tian Shao's words came out, the entire audience was whispering, Chen Gong looked in his eyes, thinking that Tian Shao must have been instructed by someone, if he said something wrong at this time, I was afraid that it would be a turmoil in people's hearts.

After Chen Gong thought about it, he looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, and it doesn't hurt to say it, Liaodong Hou has made meritorious contributions to governing the counties, so His Majesty specially summoned him to Luoyang to reward him." ”

Seeing this, Tian Shao knew that it might backfire if he asked again, so he replied with a smile: "Then congratulations to Liaodong Hou, Liaodong Hou will move high in the future, but you can't forget the people of Liaodong." ”

After hearing this, Chen Gong raised his glass and said: "There, there, it's all your work, without your support, Liaodong would not be so prosperous." ”

After Chen Gong finished speaking, he toasted everyone again, then sat down and wiped his palms covertly.

When the banquet was about to happen, Chen Gong ordered the maidservant to bring Li Shu and show it to the guests, but he observed everyone's faces on the sidelines.

After the guests saw it, they all stepped forward to congratulate them, and after Chen Gong thanked them one by one, he asked the next person to send the guests away.

Halfway through the night, in a room in the Li Mansion, Chen Gong said to Li Quan, "Has the Tian family had strangers arrived recently?" ”

Li Quan replied: "The Tianyan personnel have not found it, but Tianfu recruited a new batch of subordinates a few days ago, could there be a problem with those subordinates?" ”

After hearing this, Chen Gong thought for a while and said: "It should be, find an opportunity to dispose of Tian Shao, remember not to leave a little handle, it is on the cusp at this time." ”

Seeing that Chen Gong was a little worried, Li Quan patted his chest and promised: "Rest assured, the military advisor will leave this matter to Tianyan, and there will be no problems left." ”

After hearing this, Chen Gong nodded and continued: "At today's banquet, some people have already suspected it, so ask the hidden Tianyan personnel to pay attention at all times, not to be sloppy, and report it immediately if they find the slightest abnormality." ”

After Li Quan received the order, he retired from Chen Gong to arrange, Chen Gong thought to himself, the Tian family rose after the Wang family and the Yuan family, and now there is dishonesty, it seems that it is to deter them, Chen Gong turned around and walked out of the room after thinking about it.

Zhou Cang was guarding outside Mrs. Juan's door at this time, and when he saw Chen Gong coming, he felt strange in his heart, why didn't these literati sleep at night? So he asked, "Why are you here too?" ”

Chen Gong's heart tightened after hearing this, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Who else is inside?" ”

Zhou Cang replied, "Lord Hua Xin also came here just now, and he is in the master's house. ”

After hearing this, Chen Gong hurriedly pushed the door and entered, Hua Xin saw Chen Gong coming, got up and said: "The public platform has bullied me for a long time, the lord has such a big incident, why didn't you tell me?" ”

After hearing this, Chen Gong glanced at Mrs. Juan, and saw that Mrs. Juan nodded, so he said: "Mr. Ziyu, don't blame, it's not that you don't want to tell it, it's just that there are too many people who know, and this matter is easy to leak." ”

After hearing this, Hua Xin nodded and said: "What the public station said is reasonable, the old man will definitely keep the secret." ”

Chen Gong saw Hua Xin like this, so he asked tentatively, "What does Mr. Ziyu think of this?" ”

Seeing Chen Gong asking like this, Hua Xin got up with a straight face and said, "If the lord can't come back, we should support the young lord and fulfill the lord's unfinished wish!" ”

After Hua Xin finished speaking, he turned around and left, and after Chen Gong watched Hua Xin leave, he hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would apologize in Ziyu's mansion in a few days.

Seeing that Chen Gong was silent, Mrs. Juan thought that Chen Gong was angry that she told Hua Xin about this, so she said: "Brother, don't be angry, it was Mr. Ziyu who kept asking Hui Yi where he went, and I told him in desperation." ”

After hearing this, Chen Gong replied: "It's okay, I don't blame my sister for this matter." ”

Seeing that Chen Gong was not angry, Mrs. Juan asked, "That brother came to me so late, is there something wrong?" ”

After hearing this, Chen Gong remembered the business of coming this time, so he looked at Mrs. Juan and whispered: "My sister's diet in the future must be confirmed by many people before she can eat it, especially Li Shu's, she can't let her contact any strangers." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Juan panicked and asked, "Could it be that someone wants to murder our mother and daughter?" ”

Chen Gong saw that Mrs. Juan was flustered, and said comfortingly: "Sister, don't worry, just take precautions." ”

Mrs. Juan felt a little relieved after hearing this, and Chen Gong said goodbye and left when she saw this.

Under a series of iron-fisted measures by Chen Gong, Xiangping temporarily regained his calm.
