"This is too modest!" Zhang Yun said with a smile and waved his hands, "Your achievements are earned by yourself, and being a teacher is nothing more than helping you. How dare you be greedy for merit? It's just that, relying on your seniority, you can There is still room to spare to pave the way for you and Xu'er to plan. I am satisfied that you can think of me as a teacher in your heart."

"Recently, I have been busy with business, and I have not been able to visit my mentor and teacher's wife. This teacher's words really make the students ashamed."

Su Shou lowered his head as he spoke.

Zhang Yun had a kind face on his face: "What are you talking about? Your teacher's wife and I are in good health. You can eat and drink. You can just do your own work and don't worry about it. Besides, because of the dispute over the chief assistant recently, I don't have much time to stay with you." In the mansion, I'm afraid that if you come, it will be in vain."

Su Shou was silent for a while, looked at him who was holding tea and said: "I don't know what happened to the cabinet matter? I heard that the elder Wang Ge's voice is not low. However, the teacher has a brilliant resume, and the recent Liangjiang disaster Outstanding performance, the position of chief assistant should be in the bag."

"How can it be so easy?" Zhang Yun smiled lightly, and then put down the tea: "At noon today, the emperor uploaded that five of us, except Mr. Jin Ge, entered the palace for tea. The emperor made it clear that he would be happy to see talented people emerge from my court in large numbers, competing to serve each other, but the case of Chang Wei is right in front of his eyes, and if he doesn't give some explanation to the emperor, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a conclusion."

Speaking of this, he whispered again: "I think the old man has followed the rules all his life, and he has grown old. If he didn't think that my Zhang family's children are weak, why would he go to this muddy water? Now people will laugh at me. gone."

"The teacher's words are serious. Parents are children, and it is far-reaching. This is human nature. The teacher has not set foot in the whirlpool for many years, and he is already stronger than countless people in the Manchu Dynasty."

Su Shou leaned over and finished speaking, then straightened up and said, "I just don't know what arrangement Master has for this?"

"I'm having a headache. It just so happened that you came here. I just wanted to ask you, how far has this case been investigated? What clues have you got so far? How do you know that there is no progress on your side? It seems that you can only continue to investigate." Good plan."

Su Shou immediately said: "But please feel at ease, my teacher. If there is a clue, I will definitely report to my teacher. Even if there is a need for adjudication, the students will first come to bother my teacher, please help me."

Zhang Yun nodded: "I have just said that you and I love father and son, share weal and woe, and I naturally believe that you are my confidant. It's just that as soon as the emperor said this, I am afraid that Wang Ge's old man will immediately think about this case , he won’t look for you, but he might start from Duke Zhen.”

Su Shou raised his head and said after a while: "Could it be that the Wang family and the Han family have a very close friendship?"

"You have been getting close recently because you worked with the father and son of the Han family, you don't know?" Zhang Yun looked over.

Su Shou bowed his head: "The student is a fool. He was busy with his official duties and did not establish a special personal relationship with the father and son of the Han family. Besides, the Han family is a powerful minister, and the son of the Duke of Zhen is too flamboyant. After all, it is not inconsistent with my Su Shou style. Me and them are just business affairs. But..."

"But what?"

Su Shou said frankly: "Duke Zhen suddenly invited the students over to the house to have a small banquet tonight, but I don't know why."

"Oh?" Zhang Yun put his elbows on the armrest, and pondered: "This is rare. Although the Han family is an important minister, there are not many families who have deep friendship with the courtiers, and they rarely have irrelevant banquets. officials."

"So, the students are also wondering."

Zhang Yun looked at him after thinking about it for a while: "It's okay, since the Duke is kind, you can go on your own. Maybe it's just because of the trial that I'm looking for you to discuss it, I don't know."

"Student obeys." Su Shou took the order upright, and then said: "Then the student is leaving, so I will go to check on Duke Zhen to see if he has anything to do with the Wang family."

Zhang Yun let out a "huh", saw the twilight outside the door, and suddenly said: "Since you are going, it is time to leave now. I will not keep you as a teacher."

"The student will leave first."

Zhang Yun watched him leave, and after a long time, he slowly frowned, keeping a gloomy look, and left the flower hall.

Su Shou left Zhang's mansion and rode his horse slowly on the street.

The last ray of afterglow in the sky stretched his figure to a lengthy seventeen or eighteen years ago.

Township government.

After returning home, Han Mo put down his pen and took a freshly written note to the guard: "Give it to Miss Su."

Dou Yin and Song Yan came in from outside, and when they saw this, they laughed: "It's like three autumns after a day, it's so hard to part, why don't you marry him back quickly?"

"What do you know? This has to be done step by step, subtle, and silent..."

"Yo yo yo, I piled up so many words in one breath, and I read quite a lot!"

Song Yan's mouth has never been tactful.

Han Mo looked sideways: "You two are full, right? What are you doing here?"

"Let us tell you that your future father-in-law has arrived at the mansion."

When Han Mo heard this "father-in-law", his ears turned red immediately, and he glared at them and said, "I didn't write a word, what nonsense are you talking about? Let people hear it!"

Song Yan leaned over: "Aren't you going to accompany the guests and show your hospitality? I think this Mr. Su is not so easy to talk to. The Duke has invited him many times, but he is only willing to show his face today. No wonder you have been reluctant to propose marriage, yes Are you worried that this test will be difficult? If you knew today, why did you have to do it in the first place! You were told to break into other people’s houses to show your prestige without knowing it.”

Han Mo felt even more ashamed.

Dou Yin said: "Don't recruit him, he won't be able to sleep again tonight." After that, he turned to Han Mo and said, "You are right, don't rush for success, Miss Su is smart and wise, sooner or later she will understand your kindness." I can see it."

Han Mo's expression softened a bit, and by the way, he glared at the smiling Song Yan.

Dou Yin continued: "Master Su has already taken the table, and the dishes are on the table. Madam made the order by herself, and taught me to ask you not to hang around when you have nothing to do. I came here for the matter you explained a few days ago. ——Song Yan, don't you want Going to accompany the guests? You go first, I can't trust the drinking capacity of our Duke, don't turn around and drink too much and spoil the good things of the lady."

"Okay!" Song Yan stood up, "I'll replace the cup!"

On the other side, Han Mo said seriously, "You're talking about the Huang family's affairs?"

Dou Yin nodded slightly: "I followed your instructions and arranged for someone to investigate the Huang's house. It turned out that Miss Su's second aunt's stepmother, who died unexpectedly, seemed to have died a bit unusually."

When not talking about love, Han Mo is extremely calm and sensitive: "What's the situation?"

Dou Yin carefully chose his words: "How should I put it, the lady who filled the house of the Huang family had many details when she died, and it was similar to the death of Miss Su's mother. For example, it also happened in a thunderstorm, and the deceased also went out in a hurry. And when they were in danger, it was also because there was no one around to give immediate medical attention when the incident happened. Of course, the most important thing is that when they were in distress, they all lived in the same house as Miss Su's second aunt."

The wise young man's eyes were burning, and there was a clear stream of light floating in it.
