Chapter 382: Fog and Frost Arrive

After all, the repair project of the Tongren Pavilion will still have results, Chu Huan took several officials from Du Zhicao to inspect the Tongren Pavilion in person, and under the strange eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials, they made a record of the places that needed to be repaired.

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for repairing, but how to repair it, but it is to be done in accordance with the meaning of the Ministry of Rites, Duan Zhenghong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is responsible for this matter, I heard that Chu Huan led people to investigate, and immediately rushed over, when he rushed to the Tongren Pavilion, Chu Huan had already completed the inspection, and led his subordinates to leave, but Zheng Hong blocked the way and said angrily: "Chu Huan, do you want to resist the decree?" ”

As soon as he came over, he charged Chu Huan with a crime, and the hostility was not small.

Although Chu Huan was only in charge, he did not have the slightest fear of Zheng Hong, the squire, and said calmly: "Lord Zheng's words, the lower officials don't understand!" ”

"The Holy Decree is to overhaul the Tongren Pavilion, and the construction period is extremely short, but as far as this official knows, you are stuck with silver in the household department, and the cost of repairs has not yet arrived, aren't you resisting the decree?" Zheng Hong naturally already knew what Chu Huan was doing in the household department, and sneered: "The construction period has been delayed, and the project will not be completed on time when the time comes, can you be the little head of the household department?" ”

Chu Huan frowned, and said lightly: "Didn't you see that the lower officials came here today to handle this matter?" ”

Zheng Hong raised his hand and pointed at Chu Huan, "This official has heard that Du Zhicao has already calculated the expenses, and the silver has been approved, but you have repeatedly delayed this matter for your own selfish interests, communiqué personal vendetta, and in order to rectify Dou Yi." He snorted coldly, "Chu Huan, this official advises you, young people should not be too arrogant, it will not do you any good." ”

His words were implied to be threatening.

Chu Huan said coldly: "If you are not angry, you are still called a young man?" Raising his hand, he pulled away Zheng Hong's fingers pointing at his nose, and said lightly: "Lord Zheng, you don't have to worry, the household is in charge of the silver, and every use of the silver must be carefully accounted for by Du Zhicao, but it is not as much as others say." He didn't pay attention to Zheng Hong anymore, turned around and left, walked a few steps, suddenly thought of something, turned his head, and said lightly: "By the way, Lord Zheng, the lower officials are presumptuous, there is a sentence for you to consider!" ”

Chu Huan was in charge, and he was not humble in front of Zheng Hong, the squire, and even opened Zheng Hong's finger in front of everyone, and when he saw the big and small officials in the four places, they were all very surprised, and many people felt that either Chu Huan's new official did not understand the rules when he first entered the officialdom, or he was really impatient.

Zheng Hong obviously didn't expect Chu Huan to be so bold, his face turned blue, and he sneered: "What do you want to say?" ”

"My lord is also a squire, an important minister of the court." Chu Huan said slowly: "Pointing at people with your fingers, this is what the ruffians on the street do, the lower officials are bold, and please change this problem!" ”

"You're ......!" Zheng Hong held his breath in his chest and almost fainted.

The officials next to him were also shocked, looking at Chu Huan like monsters, and even several officials under Chu Huan were also shocked.

According to common sense, Chu Huan, a newly promoted official, should make good connections in the capital, please Fengying high-ranking officials as much as possible, and increase his contacts, even if he doesn't, he will never offend high-ranking officials so much and offend them in public.

Many people think that Chu Huan is a mess, but there is no such offending official in the capital.

"Good ......!" Zheng Hong relieved himself and laughed angrily: "The surname is Chu, you are a villain, don't worry, the silver has not been approved in time, and the Tongren Pavilion cannot be completed on time, and the official will see that you have enough heads to cut off when the time comes." ”

Chu Huan smiled indifferently, not impatient or impatient: "Lord Zheng, the lower officials don't say anything about beating around the bush, the cost of the Tongren Pavilion, I will carefully calculate the cost of the Tongren Pavilion, and before the calculation is out, you won't get a copper penny here." However, I will not be too bad at doing things, and there will be results in ...... next two days! He approached, very close to Zheng Hong, and said softly: "If Lord Zheng wants to deliberately delay the construction period at that time, and then put the responsibility on the lower officials, the lower officials will definitely not argue." But then again, the little head of the lower official must be held responsible, and the responsibility of the consul general Zheng to receive the Xiliang mission, if the Tongren Pavilion has not been repaired before the arrival of the Xiliang mission, I am afraid that the trouble will be even greater. ”

Zheng Hong's eyes are like knives, he has been in officialdom for many years, and he has really never seen such a person, this person does not play cards according to the routine at all.

There is naturally no shortage of open and secret battles in the officialdom, but even if you fight to the death, but on the surface, they are all silent, and even very harmonious, hiding a knife in a smile, which is the most common means of communication in officialdom, but this young official speaks so bluntly, which makes Zheng Hong unable to come back to his senses for a while.

By the time he came back to his senses, Chu Huan had already left with his subordinates.

……

……

Du Zhi Cao still has capable people after all, it is strange to say, Chu Huan assessed the same pavilion, and the people who took Du Zhi Cao recalculated the repair cost with great fanfare, but the head of the household remained silent.

Until all the accounting expenses were calculated, Hu Bufan did not ask about this matter.

On the contrary, it was Lang Wuxu, but he became enthusiastic in the past two days, Chu Huan had just entered the household, and Lang Wuxu's attitude towards Chu Huan was obviously full of deep hostility, but in the past two days, Lang Wuxu was much kinder, and found Chu Huan twice, only saying that if Du Zhicao had any difficulties, he could find him to solve them, and he was very affectionate to Chu Huan.

If Lang Wuxuan is cold, Chu Huan can adapt, but now he is kind and affectionate, which makes Chu Huan feel that something is wrong.

Lang Wuxuan is a person, the first time Chu Huan saw him, he felt that this person was full of flowers and intestines, and there were many ghost ideas in his head, so he had to be careful and suddenly changed his attitude, Chu Huan was even more vigilant, he was afraid that this person was setting some trap for himself.

According to the cost of the calculation of the degree of Cao, the Tongren Pavilion has to be renovated, and it does not even take 100,000 taels of silver, according to the example, the project cost will be added to the cost of accounting, which will be used as an unexpected expense, so the final cost of the Tongren Pavilion is within 120,000 taels of silver, which is already calculated according to the highest standard.

Chu Huan took the results of the calculation and found Hu Bufan, thinking that Hu Bufan would definitely be embarrassed, who knew that this time Hu Bufan was very happy, not only was he not embarrassed, but he scolded Dou Yi in front of Chu Huan, scolding Dou Yi for being ineffective and negligent, Chu Huan listened to it, but he felt funny in his heart, if he was easily negligent, he could be negligent to make a three-fold gap, Dou Yi was extremely confused, and he should not have stayed in Duzhi Cao for a long time.

He also understood that because he still had the official letter in his hand, Hu Bufan was obviously unwilling to do more entanglement in this matter, after all, the household department had to pull out tens of millions of silver every year, and if something happened because of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it would obviously be worth the loss.

Hu Bufan took a step back in the matter of Tongrenguan, but because of this matter, in other matters in the future, Hu Bufan will definitely keep an eye on himself, and if Hu Bufan grabs the handle with a little negligence, Hu Bufan will definitely kill the killer.

stamped, for Chu Huan, the matter of Tongrenguan ended here, and the rest of the matter had nothing to do with him.

However, he knew in his heart that after this incident, he must have become famous, but it was obviously not a good reputation, at least he had made a lot of enemies.

As soon as this matter is over, the Yan Mansion has been repaired, and on this day, Wang Fu took Wu Jingwei of the Ximen Department to send the hundred silks given by the emperor to the Yan Mansion, but Chu Huan is particular, the Ximen Department is a total of thirty-eight people from top to bottom, Chu Huan let Wang Fu leave thirty-eight silks, one for each person, this high-quality silk, one horse is worth a lot of silver, and everyone is happy.

Sun Long stole Chu Huan's official letter, and he had been restless for the past two days, and he was really a little scared, and he didn't dare to get close to Chu Huan for a few days, let alone drink and chat.

Chu Huan seemed to be fine, Sun Long didn't go to him, he didn't go to Sun Long, he was as light as water.

The plaque at the door of the Yan house has already been changed, the brand new plaque is inscribed with the word "Chu House", last night over, failed to see the house clearly, come today, the sun is shining, plus after a few days of repair, the house is also a new look, the carved beams and paintings inside, the eaves are warped, there are rockeries and pools in the house, there are bamboo and pine, very expensive.

But Chu Huan soon discovered a problem, there seemed to be everything in this mansion, but there was no one, and he seemed to be the only one living here in the huge mansion.

At this time, he thought of his family, and he was already thinking about whether he should bring his family close to the capital at this time, this matter was quite hesitant, firstly, it was indeed considering Chu Li's body, whether it could withstand long-distance bumps, and more importantly, Chu Huan still considered his current situation, he could not talk about a stable foothold in the capital at all, and for some reason, he even offended many people and made many enemies, and it didn't seem like a good thing to take them over at this time.

moved, Chu Huan took the silver and asked people to buy a wine market, and everyone in the Ximen Department had dinner in the new house, but they didn't dare to disturb too much and left early.

As soon as the person left, the entire mansion was completely quiet, deathly silent, Chu Huan was very bold, and he was naturally not afraid of living alone, but in the dead of night, there was silence all around, and a strong sense of loneliness came to his heart.

Thinking of his family in Yunshan, Chu Huan found a pen and paper and wrote a letter, which was a letter to Linlang's family.

Lying on the bed, I didn't close my eyes for a while, but I suddenly remembered Pei Jilai in my heart, if Pei Ji was still in the capital, I could take him and Qin Lei to live here, then I would no longer be lonely, and get along with Pei Ji day and night, but I can learn a lot of things, but unfortunately Pei Ji has gone to the northwest with Qin Lei, and he is still on the road now, and he doesn't know what the situation is.

Suddenly, there was a sound of Mrs. Liuli who he saw two days ago, he was very curious about the identity of Mrs. Liuli, until now, I don't know which dignitary Mrs. Liuli is, I think her husband must not be an ordinary person, so national, ordinary people are not worthy.

Thinking about it, before I knew it, I fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, I was going to the Yamen as usual, and it was strange to say, it was almost May, and when I got up early in the morning, there was a fog, although it was not very thick, but it was rare to see fog at such a time.

But then again, don't talk about fog, it's windy and rainy, and the yamen should go.

Cleaned up, ready to go out to find a stall to eat and go to the yamen early, just opened the gate, a carriage just stopped outside the door, Chu Huan was curious, a person had come down from the carriage, the fog, Chu Huan saw at a glance, but the person who came was an old acquaintance Sun Desheng, but Sun Desheng was dressed very special today, dressed in a brocade robe, and even glued a fake beard, looking like a businessman, if it wasn't for Chu Huan being very familiar with him, he wouldn't be recognizable at a glance.

Sun Desheng saw Chu Huan and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lord Chu, Lord Chu has been promoted and moved to the house, I haven't been able to say hello to Lord Chu!" ”

Chu Huan didn't know why Sun Desheng was dressed like this, and it was a little strange for him to call himself "I", but he knew that Sun Desheng was coming, and he must have been sent by King Yingren of Qi, so he smiled and said, "Sun Gong......!" Before he finished speaking, Sun Desheng had already raised his hand, waved his hand again and again, looked back a little nervously, glanced at the carriage, and said in a low voice: "Lord Chu, just call me Sun Desheng, don't reveal our family's identity!" ”

Chu Huan was puzzled, glanced at the carriage, and thought to himself: "What the hell is this Sun Desheng doing?" Could it be that there is a secret hidden in the carriage? ”

"Sun ...... Mr. Sun, what's going on? Chu Huan asked in a low voice.

Sun Desheng chuckled and said: "Lord Chu, you have moved to a new house here, Your Highness can't come out for the time being, and I can't congratulate you in person, but it's ......!" His eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "But Your Highness has prepared a gift for you!" ”

"Gifts?" Chu Huan was even more curious.

Sun Desheng coughed, clapped his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Come down, we're here!" ”

Soon, I saw the curtain of the carriage opened, and a slender figure came out of the carriage, wearing a very ordinary coarse cloth and floral clothes, with a floral headscarf on her head, at first glance, she looked like an ordinary country girl.

The woman got out of the carriage, looked up and first glanced at the mansion, her face was blank, and then her eyes moved to Chu Huan's face, her steps paused, she was stunned for a moment, and then she showed a look of surprise.

Chu Huan was also wondering, staring at the woman's face, so familiar, frowning slightly, instantly thinking of something, showing surprise, almost blurted out, but Sun Desheng had already made a look, Chu Huan reacted and kept calm, but the surprised look in his eyes was difficult to hide.

He never expected that what came out of the carriage was suddenly Mo Lingshuang, who was almost forgotten by himself.

He remembered that when he was in Yunshan, Mo Lingshuang won the Oiran, and the King of Qi wanted to redeem her, but he couldn't make up the money, and in desperation, Chu Huan set up a plan to snatch Mo Lingshuang out of the hands of the old bustard in the Jade Building, and everything after that was secretly arranged by Sun Desheng, Chu Huan never saw Mo Lingshuang again.

Where would he have thought that Mo Lingshuang, who was almost forgotten by himself, would appear in front of his eyes today.

Sun Desheng said loudly: "Lord Chu, this is Miss Shuang'er, you move to a new house, you can't do anything, this Miss Shuang'er is smart and well-behaved, just take it as a gift from me, stay by your side and be a maid, so that you can serve you!" ”

After he said this, he immediately took Chu Huan's arm and entered the door, and then turned back to beckon to Mo Lingshuang, Mo Lingshuang hesitated, and finally followed in, Sun Desheng waited for Mo Lingshuang to enter, and immediately closed the door, as if he was afraid that there would be a ghost behind.

"Don't talk yet, let's talk about it when we enter the house!" Sun Desheng hurriedly said, Chu Huan saw Mo Lingshuang appear here, knew that things were not ordinary, and led the two into the main hall, and then bowed his hand to Mo Lingshuang: "Miss Lingshuang, has you always been good?" ”

Although Mo Lingshuang was dressed plainly, but the coarse cloth and floral clothes could not hide her slender figure, compared to the last time they met, Lingshuang seemed to be a little thinner, still Chu Chu was pitiful, the water was smart and moving, as delicate and pure as a lotus.

Mo Lingshuang entered the house, without saying a word, she had already taken two steps forward, knelt down in front of Chu Huan, tears rolled down, and said in a trembling voice: "Ling Shuang thanks Chu Gongzi for saving his life, Chu Gongzi's kindness to Ling Shuang, Ling Shuang has nothing to repay in this life, I only wish to stay by Gongzi's side and be a cow and a horse to repay Chu Gongzi's life-saving kindness!" ”

Chu Huan was anxious, and he didn't care about the harm between men and women, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Mo Lingshuang up, and said in a loud voice: "Hurry up, hurry up, what is this doing." ”

Mo Lingshuang was helped up, crystal tears still rolled down her cheeks, Chu Huan couldn't see a woman crying, took out a handkerchief from his arms, handed it to Mo Lingshuang, and said warmly: "Miss Lingshuang, wipe your tears first, if you have anything to say slowly, this is my mansion, it will be fine." Looking at Sun Desheng, he frowned slightly, and he didn't know what this guy was doing when he brought Mo Lingshuang to him.
