Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 73

After a busy day, Chen Yunfu sent Zhu Biao back to his residence. Instead of rushing home, Chen Yunfu knocked on the door of Shao Zhi's house.

"Why is my son-in-law here free today?"

Shao Zhi, who also just finished dinner, was lying in the yard enjoying the night breeze, with a cup of hot tea by his hand.

Chen Yunfu smiled.

"My father-in-law is very comfortable."

"I've been busy for most of my life, it's rare that I can steal some free time now, and I'm not allowed to relax for a while. Come, sit down."

Chen Yunfu sat down obediently and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Why are you free today?" Shao Zhi was very surprised at Chen Yunfu's arrival: "Old man heard that Cao Guogong passed away, so you should be busy right now."

Chen Yunfu said: "It's not too busy. After the prince returns to the mansion, the child will have nothing to do. This is where you are."

"Well, if you are interested, you can think of coming to chat with me, an old man, if you have nothing to do."

"Look at what you said, you are my father-in-law." Chen Yunfu smiled shamelessly, then looked around: "Where is Ning'er?"

As he was looking around, he got a slap on the forehead from Shao Zhi, and immediately calmed down with an ouch.

"Stinky boy, the old man knows that you didn't come here for me."

There were scolding words in his mouth, but Shao Zhi's face was full of smiles.

He is now the old Taishan looking at the uncle, whatever he looks at, he likes it.

But in the entire Jinling City, whose son-in-law is as good as Chen Yunfu.

This is Dongge University Bachelor.

Yes, and concurrently a Zuochunfang University Bachelor, the head of the official rank of the East Palace.

If you want to talk about other five grades, even if you are transferred to the Ministry of Officials as a secretary and inspector, you will not be as famous as you are now.

"Yue Zhang misunderstood the child, the child really came here after Yue Zhang."

Chen Yunfu no longer had a playful smile on his face, and while serving tea for Shao Zhi, he said seriously: "My child is wondering if it's time for you to return to office."

Return to office?

Shao Zhi was very confused and said inexplicably, "I haven't received any news about this matter yet, so where did you start talking about it?"

Chen Yunfu didn't hide, and said straight to the point.

"You also know that after the Guo Huan case, the court hall was basically empty, and all the prince's officials in Zuochunfang and Youchunfang were transferred to fill the six departments and five temples, but even so, the punishment department was still empty.

Some time ago, His Highness the Crown Prince asked Hai'er if he had any recommendations, and Hai'er thought of you. "

"inappropriate."

Shao Zhi shook his head.

"What's wrong."

Chen Yunfu didn't quite understand: "The six ministries and five temples are all under the jurisdiction of the crown prince. Although His Majesty still has the right to appoint ministers, ministers and other positions, as long as the crown prince recommends them, there is no problem."

"It's wrong for the old man, not to say that you can't return to office, but that you shouldn't say it out of your mouth to let the old man return to office."

Shao Zhi educated: "Many people already know about the relationship between our father and father. After two years, when you and Ning'er get married, more people will know about it. So it's inappropriate for you to introduce me to return to office. .

In the officialdom, we still have to try our best to avoid telling the truth. The so-called promotion of talents without avoiding personal listening is fine, don't take it seriously. "

"Then you, father-in-law." Chen Yunfu hesitated: "I still hope that father-in-law can resume his official position as soon as possible."

Shao Zhi was a little puzzled, why his son-in-law was so interested in his return to office.

"It's so easy for the old man to enjoy a little leisure time in his later years. You want the old man to go to the front line again."

What Chen Yunfu can say, he can't say that time is not waiting for me.

Where does time wait.

Therefore, I can only say: "Without Yue Zhang in court, the child has no idea."

"You kid, you know how to make this old man happy." Shao Zhi laughed, and then murmured with his arms around his beard: "This year, the provincial examinations in Zhili's prefectures have all ended, and it's time to start next year. The vacancies in Zuochunfang are still relatively small Good to make up for.

Furthermore, His Royal Highness is also in his prime, Zuo Chunfang does not need officials like Wen Xiangong, you can pick some good seedlings to teach in Zuo Chunfang, so it will be easy to use. "

Chen Yunfu nodded in agreement, and seeing that it was getting late, he got up to leave.

Back home, both Ling'er and Qiao'er came out to welcome her.

"The son is back."

The two maids rushed to change and wash Chen Yunfu's clothes like they were in a competition, making Chen Yunfu dumbfounded.

"Stop, stop, I'll do it myself."

For these two maids at home, Chen Yunfu really couldn't stand it.

In fact, Ling'er was better, after all, she was seven or eight years older than Chen Yunfu, she had been serving Empress Ma since she was a child, and everyone in the palace had rules.

But Qiao'er is not like that at all, it is estimated that this girl also thinks that she will be Shao Ning's dowry maid in the future, and her eyes shine every time she talks about changing clothes for Chen Yunfu.

Chen Yunfu thought about it, at his age it's better to be more restrained, and be careful not to die young.

As a result, Chen Yunfu now has to put the latch on the door when he sleeps at night.

Just as the footwashing water was prepared, before Chen Yunfu could put his feet in, there was a knock on the door, and Ling'er's voice came in.

"My lord, there is a visitor from outside the house. The concierge told me that it was Zhao Gan, your former colleague in the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Chen Yunfu was stunned for a moment before remembering this one, and confessed.

"Invite him to the study."

Anyway, the study is close, so there is still time to wash your feet.

He, Chen Yunfu, would not play any tricks of walking backwards.

"What is this guy doing running to me in the middle of the night?"

Chen Yunfu was puzzled, put on his robe and walked to the study, Zhao Gan was already waiting here.

Seeing Chen Yunfu coming, the latter hurriedly got up and bowed.

"The lower official has seen the Grand Master, and asked the Grand Master how he is."

"Stop, stop, where did you learn to be so glib."

Chen Yunfu laughed and joked, only then did he realize that there were several brocade boxes in the corner of the study, and his expression sank immediately.

"What does it mean."

Zhao Qian hurriedly took the brocade box and opened it, but there were no gold or silver treasures, just some food, if you insist on value, it is only a piece of high-quality Suzhou embroidery.

"When you come to visit, you can't come empty-handed. Food and clothing don't cost much."

"Of course you feel nothing."

Chen Yunfu shook his head and sighed, pointing to the brocade box and said: "These boxes are said to be big or small, if you put silver taels, a hundred taels is still okay, if you put treasure bills, you can stack a hundred ingots, your visit at night , who knows what you put in this box."

"Ah, here." Zhao Gan was dumbfounded for a moment, and then he said in a panic, "Did the lower official cause you trouble, then the lower official will take it away immediately."

While speaking, he was about to take the things away, but Chen Yunfu called him to stop.

"Okay, let's put it here. If you really take it out, in the eyes of someone with a heart, isn't this still 300 taels of silver here, don't get me wrong, talk about something."

Only then did Zhao Gan calm down, and hurriedly added tea to Chen Yunfu.

"Great scholar, lower officials, lower officials want to transfer out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you see, is it possible?"

Chen Yunfu held the tea bowl for a meal.

This guy, is his relationship with the official?
