Daming Yuanfu

Cao Wenzhen stayed in Nanning Hou's Mansion for almost an hour. When he left, his expression was not too good. He looked full of thoughts, which aroused the surrounding people in the Hou's Mansion to be a little puzzled. They said that Jinghua Textile has been extremely prosperous in recent years. In the past, Cao Wenzhen The president came back happily when he came to the Hou Mansion. What happened today? He couldn't have been reprimanded by the master, right? It shouldn’t be!

However, the servants were just wondering, how could they know what happened? After a while, a new visitor came.

At this time, Gao Yuanfu was impeached and shut up his family. Naturally, the person who came would not be a high-ranking official. After all, if you come, you will only get a shut-in. Although their servants can come, they can obviously only communicate with the servants of the Hou Mansion and convey their master’s wishes to Yuan Fu. They will definitely not get to visit Yuan Fu himself. treatment.

Therefore, those who come are still our own people, and they can only be those with a high status among our own people.

The visitor is Gao Wuzheng, Gao Wuzheng, the sixth younger brother of Gao Pragmatic.

Gao Wuzheng is also an adult and has his own residence in Beijing. Although as a confidential secretary, he usually comes to work in the Hou Mansion, but since Liu Xin went south, his work has become less, so he comes less frequently. The last time he came to the Hou Mansion seemed to be a week ago.

As soon as he entered the house, the voice of "Sixth Master" rang all the way. He nodded casually and even returned the gift, but he hurried forward in his footsteps. After a while, he went up to the Rixin Building and arrived in front of Gao Pragmatic's study. , then looked at the clothes on his body, tidied them up, then knocked on the door gently and said: "Brother, the little brother is here."

Gao Pragmatic's voice came from the door: "Come in."

"Hey." Gao Wuzheng immediately opened the door and walked in. Seeing Gao Pragmatic standing in front of the window with his back to him, he felt inexplicably nervous. He stopped six or seven steps away from his eldest brother and asked in a low voice: "Brother, I've called for my little brother. What do you want me to do?"

Gao pragmatic didn't turn around and asked calmly: "I heard that in such a short time since the secretary-general went south, you have taken two concubines?"

Sure enough, that’s why! Gao Wuzheng felt nervous and quickly defended: "Brother, although this matter is true, there are some reasons why I need to report it to my brother..."

"No need, I don't care about these noisy things." Gao Pragmatic waved his hand: "I just remind you that your confidential secretary is not an idle errand, but if you want to treat it as an idle errand, then I am the eldest brother Yes, it’s not like I can’t satisfy you.”

Youdao is the eldest brother and father. Although his father is still alive in the sixth room of their Gao family, he has long since stopped taking care of things. Not to mention Liufang, the entire Gao family in Xinzheng regards Gao pragmatism as the head of the family and the patriarch. His words are the law of the Gao family. If Gao Jingshi really wanted to turn Gao Wuzheng's confidential secretary into an idle errand, it would only be a matter of one sentence.

Gao Wuzheng knelt down with a plop, using his knees as his feet, he rushed behind Gao Wongshi in a few steps, kowtowed and said: "Brother, I have been neglectful these days. I know I was wrong! I accept my punishment! Please Brother, please don’t let me go back to Xinzheng to guard the ancestral temple!”

Gao Wuzheng finally turned around and looked down at Gao Wuzheng with a frown. In fact, he didn't expect Gao Wuzheng's reaction to be so big. What he said just now was mainly a slap in the face. After all, although this young man is of the same generation as him, he is only in his early twenties, and he suddenly loses control. Indulging in women is not a big sin - after all, he came back from a concubine, not a prostitute, nor a robbery. Folk girl. According to the society at this time, it is completely reasonable.

Of course, it is understandable for the eldest brother to criticize him for neglecting his official duties and not doing his job properly. It's just that he has such a big reaction now, Gao Pragmatic needs to reflect on why. Is it because my brother is too majestic, or is there something on his mind?

After recalling it, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not report any abnormality, so the worst possibility should not exist. In this case, it seems that this boy is too afraid of being abandoned by his elder brother because of his status as a concubine.

"Get up." After Gao pragmatically said, he went to sit down on his own. Gao Wuzheng stood up in a hurry, but he did not dare to follow him. He just faced Gao Pangshi from a distance and stood with his head bowed, waiting for reprimand.

When the reprimand came, Gao Pingshi frowned and said, "Stand so far away and let me talk to you at the top of my lungs?"

Gao Wuzheng hurriedly took a few steps forward, but still kept his head down and listened to the instruction.

"Hey, Master Six, are you afraid now?"

Gao Wuzheng heard the words "Sixth Master" as if it were a life-threatening curse. His legs went weak and he almost knelt down again. Unexpectedly, this time Gao Pangshi stopped him by shouting: "Stand still!" So Liu Ye quickly stiffened his legs again and stood tremblingly in place. "You said you don't want to go back to Xinzheng?" Gao pragmatically asked.

Gao Wuzheng wanted to answer "yes", but suddenly he felt that something was wrong with this question. He thought for a moment and replied in a low voice: "Brother, I misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to go back to Xinzheng, but I just don't want to go to the ancestral temple. I also want Chenghuan to be with me." of."

Not wanting to go back to Xinzheng is called unfilial at best, and forgetting one's roots at worst. This is unacceptable. But not wanting to keep the ancestral temple is not that serious. Although it seems "unfilial", everyone knows that the root cause is not here: keeping the ancestral temple means being sent to exile!

Don’t you see that Gao Wuzi, the eldest son of the Gao family, is guarding the ancestral temple now? In name, he has a high status, but in fact, he has nothing. Chun Chun is just an idler - how many servants do the Gao family have? Does this ancestral temple really need to be specially arranged for a direct lineage to guard it?

Gao pragmatic didn't care about his little thoughts and said calmly: "Then I will give you a chance to go to Xinzheng to meet the two elders on my behalf."

"Ah..." Gao Wuzheng had to raise his head and look at Gao Pingshi. After all, he really didn't understand why he had to do this by himself. Flying pigeons are very convenient for sending messages!

Gao pragmatically picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked at him calmly.

As I said before, serving tea is not necessarily about seeing off guests, and it is no different at this time. Gao Wuzheng saw that his brother didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, but he didn't say anything to drive him away, which meant... there was something else.

"Brother is so filial, which makes me ashamed. I must rush back to Xinzheng as soon as possible and bring my brother's admiration to the two elders." After a pause, he asked in a low voice: "Besides, what else does brother have? Explain other things?"

"It seems that you haven't been so obsessed with it yet, that's good." Gao Pingshi finally showed a smile, but then became serious and said: "When you arrive in Xinzheng, after paying homage to the two elders, go and talk to Wu Ruo, let me go. Those arrested the first time signed and stamped their names, wrote a confession, and sent their cronies to deliver it to Nanjing."

"Nan...Nanjing?" Gao Wuzheng was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Who are you giving it to? Jin Yiwei?"

Gao pragmatic frowned immediately and stared at him without speaking. Gao Wuzheng knew that he had guessed wrong... In fact, he knew that he had guessed wrong as soon as he said the words. After all, even if this thing was to be given to Jin Yiwei, it would be sent to the capital. Why send it to Nanjing?

He knew that he couldn't guess wrong again, so he thought quickly for a while, and finally he had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized: "Ah, I know, I will give it to Mr. Shen Ge, right brother?"

Gao Pangshi's face relaxed and he no longer remained stern. He nodded lightly and said, "I see that Mr. Shen Ge has been having a good time recently, and since he returned to Nanjing as Mr. Ge, he may have become more arrogant and courageous. Get up... As a colleague, I always have to remind him: Don't go too far. Be honest, don't you think?"

Gao Wuzheng's hair stood on end and he quickly lowered his head again: "Yes, little brother, please don't worry."

"Then go ahead."

Just as Gao Wu had been pardoned, he quickly said goodbye to his brother and slipped out as if he were running away.

Gao pragmatically shook his head helplessly, then stood up again and walked to the window, looked into the distance, and said softly: "Shen Yiguan, Shen Yiguan, are you forced to do so, or are you adding fuel to the flames? It doesn't matter, I just hope you know that you can Remaining in the cabinet... is what I allow."

In addition, although the number of words in today's update is not much, I am very satisfied with it. I have picked out the threads that were buried before, hey.
