After all, the repair project of the Tongren Pavilion still has results. Chu Huan took a few officials from Du Zhicao to inspect the Tongren Pavilion in person. Made a note.

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the repairs, but how to repair them must be done according to the wishes of the Ministry of Rites. Duan Zhenghong, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, is in charge of this matter. Hearing that Chu Huan brought people on-site inspection, he rushed over immediately. When he arrived at the Tongren Hall, Chu Huan had finished his inspection and was about to leave with his subordinates, but Zheng Hong blocked the way and said angrily, "Chu Huan, do you want to resist the edict?"

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

Although Chu Huan was only in charge, he didn't have the slightest fear of Zheng Hong, the servant, and said calmly: "Master Zheng's words, the lower officials can't understand!"

"The holy decree is to overhaul the Tongren Hall, and the construction period is extremely short, but as far as I know, you are stuck with money in the household department, and the repair fee has not yet arrived. Are you resisting the order?" Zheng Hong naturally Knowing what Chu Huan did in the household department, he sneered and said, "The construction period was delayed, and the project could not be completed on time. Can your little household department chief take the blame?"

Chu Huan frowned, and said lightly: "Didn't your lord see that this official came here today to handle this matter?"

Zheng Hong raised his finger and pointed at Chu Huan, "I have heard that Duzhi Cao has already calculated the cost, and the money has already been approved, but you have repeatedly delayed this matter for your own self-interest, to avenge yourself, and to punish Dou Yi." He He snorted coldly, "Chu Huan, I advise you, young people should not be too arrogant, it will not do you any good."

There was a hint of threat in his voice.

But Chu Huan said coldly: "You are still called a young man if you are not arrogant?" He raised his hand, pushed Zheng Hong's finger pointing at his nose away, and said lightly: "Master Zheng, you don't have to worry, the Ministry of Household Management With the silver, every use of the silver has to be carefully calculated by Du Zhicao, not as much as others say." He ignored Zheng Hong, turned around and walked away, and after a few steps, he suddenly thought of something and turned around. Turning his head, he said lightly: "By the way, Mr. Zheng, I'm taking the liberty of being an official, and I ask you to consider one sentence!"

Chu Huan, a principal, showed no humility in front of Zheng Hong, the servant, and even pushed Zheng Hong's finger away in front of everyone. The officials, big and small, were all surprised when they saw it, and many people felt that it was either It's because Chu Huan's new official didn't 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?"

"Your Excellency is also a servant, an important minister of the court." Chu Huan said slowly: "Pointing at people with your fingers is what the street ruffians do. I dare you to get rid of this problem, Your Excellency!"

"You...!" Zheng Hong held his breath in his chest and almost passed out.

The officials next to him also paled in shock, looking at Chu Huan like a monster, even Chu Huan's Du Zhicao officials also changed color in horror.

According to common sense, Chu Huan, a newly promoted official, should make good friends in the capital, try his best to curry favor with high-ranking officials, and increase his contacts.

Many people thought that Chu Huan was a fool. In the capital, there was no official like this.

"Okay...!" Zheng Hong regained his breath, and smiled angrily: "Chu, you are a villain, don't worry, the money was not approved in time, and the Tongren Hall could not be completed on time. Let's see how many heads you have enough to chop off."

Chu Huan smiled calmly, calmly: "Master Zheng, I don't talk about beating around the bush. I, Du Zhicao, will carefully calculate the expenses of the Tongren Hall. Before the calculation is made, you will not get a penny here." .But I will not be too bad at helping Cao, and there will be results in these two days...!" He approached, very close to Zheng Hong, and said softly: "If Mr. Zheng thinks about it, he will deliberately delay the construction period, and then he will take responsibility Pushing it on the lower official, the lower official will never argue. But having said that, the lower official must bear the responsibility, and Mr. Zheng is responsible for receiving the Xiliang mission. Repair the Tongren Hall, I'm afraid there will be more trouble."

Zheng Hong's eyes were like knives. He has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has never seen such a person. This person does not follow the routine at all.

There is no shortage of open and secret fights in the officialdom, but even if the fight is life-and-death, on the surface, they are all calm, even very harmonious, hiding a knife in a smile is the most common means of communication in the officialdom, but this young man The official, who spoke so bluntly, made Zheng Hong unable to recover for a while.

When he came to his senses, Chu Huan had already left with his subordinates.

……

……

After all, Duzhicao is still a capable person. It is strange to say that Chu Huan conducted an assessment of the fan hall, and led Duzhicao's people to recalculate the repair cost with great fanfare, but the household secretary remained silent.

Until all the accounting expenses were calculated, Hu Bufan didn't bother with this matter.

On the contrary, Lang Wuxu has become more enthusiastic in the past two days. Chu Huan has just entered the household department, and Lang Wuxu's attitude towards Chu Huan is obviously full of deep hostility, but after these two days, Lang Wuxu is kind Many times, I found Chu Huan twice, and only said that if Du Zhicao had any difficulties, he could find him to solve them, and he was very affectionate to Chu Huan.

If Lang Wuxu turned his eyebrows coldly, Chu Huan would be able to adapt, but now he was acting kind and affectionate, which made Chu Huan feel that something was wrong.

Lang Wuxu, when Chu Huan saw him for the first time, he felt that this person was full of tricks and tricks, and he had to be careful. If he changed his attitude suddenly, Chu Huan became even more wary. What kind of trap are you setting for yourself?

According to the cost calculated by Duzhicao, the Tongren Hall will need to be renovated, and it will not even cost 10 taels of silver. According to the usual practice, 12% of the project cost will be added to the cost of the calculation for unexpected expenses, so The final cost of the Tongren Pavilion was within [-] taels of silver, which was calculated according to the highest standard.

Chu Huan found Hu Bufan with the calculated results. He thought that Hu Bufan would definitely be in trouble, but who knew that this time Hu Bufan was very happy. Not only did he not make trouble, but he scolded Dou Yi greatly in front of Chu Huan After a pause, he scolded Dou Yi for being incompetent and negligent. Chu Huan heard it, but felt it was funny in his heart. It shouldn't be in Duzhicao.

He also understands that because he still has the official letter in his hand, Hu Bufan is obviously unwilling to get involved in this matter. It's obviously not worth the loss if something happens with two silver coins.

Hu Bufan took a step back in the matter of the Tongren Hall, but because of this matter, Hu Bufan will definitely stare at him closely in other matters in the future, and if he is caught by Hu Bufan if he is a little negligent, Hu Bufan will definitely feel pain Under the killer.

After the seal was stamped, for Chu Huan, the matter of the Tong Ren Guan ended here, and the subsequent matters had nothing to do with him.

But he knew in his heart that after this incident, he must have gained a reputation outside, but it was obviously not a good reputation, at least he had made quite a few enemies.

As soon as this matter was settled, the renovation of Yan's house had been completed. Today, Wang Fu took the Wu Jingwei from the Ximen Office and sent the hundred pieces of silk given by the emperor to Yan's house. There were 38 people in total, and Chu Huan asked Wang Fu to keep 38 bolts of silk, one for each person. One bolt of this high-quality silk is worth a lot of silver, and everyone was happy.

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

Chu Huan seemed to be fine. Sun Long didn't look for him, and he didn't look for Sun Long. He was as calm as water.

The plaque on the gate of Yan's house has already been replaced, and the brand new one is inscribed with the word "Chu's House". Last time I came here at night, I couldn't see the house clearly. When I came here today, the sun was shining brightly. After renovations, the house has taken on a new look. Inside, there are carved beams and painted buildings, cornices and corners. There are rockeries, pools, bamboos and pine trees in the mansion, which is very luxurious.

But Chu Huan soon discovered a problem, the mansion seemed to have everything, but no one was there, it seemed that he was 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 closer to the capital at this time. He was a little hesitant about this matter. Firstly, he was really considering whether Chu Li's body could withstand the long-distance travel. However, Chu Huan still considered his current situation. He could not talk about a stable foothold in the capital now, and for some reason, he even offended many people and made many enemies. It seems that it is not right to take them over at this time. good thing.

After moving, Chu Huan took the money and sent someone to buy a wine market. Everyone in the Ximen Department had dinner in the new house, but they didn't dare to disturb them too much and left early.

As soon as the person left, the whole mansion became completely silent, deathly silent, Chu Huan was very courageous, and naturally he was not afraid of living alone, but in the dead of night, there was no sound around, and a strong sense of loneliness surged into his heart.

Thinking of his family far away in Yunshan, Chu Huan found a pen and paper, and wrote a letter. It was a family letter to Lin Lang. Before, he lived in no fixed place and it was difficult to communicate letters. Now that he has settled down, this family letter is naturally indispensable. .

Lying on the bed, without closing his eyes for a moment, he suddenly thought of Pei Ji, if Pei Ji was still in the capital, he and Qin Lei could be brought here to live here, then he would no longer be lonely, and he would be with Pei Ji day and night, but It is possible to learn a lot, but it is a pity that Pei Ji has already gone to the northwest with Qin Lei, and he is still on the way, so he doesn't know what the situation is.

Suddenly there was the sound of Mrs. Liuli whom he had seen two days ago. He was very curious about Mrs. Liuli's identity. Until now, he didn't know which high-ranking official's family member Mrs. Liuli was. She thought that her husband must not be an ordinary person. , most people are not worthy of it.

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

The next day I went to the Yamen as usual. It was strange to say that it was almost May, and when I got up this early in the morning, there was a fog. Although it was not very thick, fog was rare in this season.

But having said that, don't talk about fog, even if it is windy and rainy, the yamen must go.

After tidying up, I was going to go out to find a small stall to have some breakfast and then go to the yamen. As soon as I opened the gate, a carriage stopped outside. Chu Huan was curious, and a person had already got off the carriage. In the mist, Chu Huan glanced at But it turned out that the person who came was Sun Desheng, an old acquaintance. It's just that Sun Desheng was dressed very special today. He was dressed in brocade clothes and even had a fake beard glued on. He looked like a merchant. If Chu Huan was not very familiar with him, Not recognizable at a glance.

Sun Desheng saw Chu Huan, smiled and said: "Congratulations to Master Chu, Master Chu has been promoted and moved to the house, I haven't been able to congratulate Master Chu yet!"

Chu Huan didn't know why Sun Desheng was dressed like this, and it was a bit weird for him to call himself "I", but he knew that Sun Desheng must have been sent by Qi Wang Yingren, so he smiled and clasped his hands together: "Sun Gong...!" He hasn't said anything yet When it was over, Sun Desheng had already raised his hand, waved it again and again, looked back nervously, looked at the carriage, and said in a low voice: "Master Chu, just call me Sun Desheng, don't reveal our family's identity! "

Chu Huan was very puzzled. He glanced at the carriage and thought to himself: "What the hell is Sun Desheng doing? Could there be some secret hidden in the carriage?"

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

Sun Desheng said with a light smile: "Master Chu, you are moving to a new house here, and His Highness can't come out for the time being, and can't congratulate you in person, but...!" Rolling his eyes, he said with a half-smile: "But His Highness has prepared a gift for you. !"

"Gift?" Chu Huan was even more curious.

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

Soon, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a slim and graceful figure came out of the carriage, wearing very ordinary coarse cloth and floral clothes, with a floral turban on the head, at first glance, it looked like She is an ordinary country girl.

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

Chu Huan was also wondering, staring at the woman's face, looking so familiar, he frowned slightly, suddenly thought of something, showed surprise, and almost blurted out, but Sun Desheng had already rolled his eyes, Chu Huan After reacting, he kept calm, but the look of surprise in his eyes was hard to hide.

He never expected that Mo Lingshuang, who had almost been forgotten by him, came out of the carriage.

He remembered that when he was in Yunshan, Mo Lingshuang won the oiran, and King Qi wanted to redeem her, but he couldn't come up with any money. In desperation, Chu Huan devised a plan to force Mo Lingshuang from Cuiyu. The old bustard of Lou cheated and snatched it out of his hands, and everything after that was secretly arranged by Sun Desheng. After that, Chu Huan never saw Mo Lingshuang again.

How could he have imagined that Mo Lingshuang, who was almost forgotten by him, would appear in front of his eyes today.

Sun Desheng said loudly: "Lord Chu, this is Miss Shuang'er. You have moved to a new house, and you have nothing to do with it. This Miss Shuang'er is smart and well-behaved. Take it as a gift from me. Stay by your side and be a maid, so you can live a good life." Serving you!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately took Chu Huan's arm and entered the door, then turned his head and waved to Mo Lingshuang. Mo Lingshuang hesitated, but finally followed in. Sun Desheng waited for Mo Lingshuang to enter, and immediately closed the door , as if afraid of ghosts behind.

"Don't talk yet, let's talk in the room!" Sun Desheng hurriedly said. Seeing Mo Lingshuang appearing here, Chu Huan knew that something was unusual, and led the two of them into the main hall. How have you been, girl?"

Although Mo Lingshuang was dressed plainly, her coarse and floral dress could not conceal her slim figure. Compared with the last time we met, Lingshuang seemed to be a little thinner, but she was still lovely and charming, as delicate and pure as a lotus flower .

Mo Lingshuang entered the room. Without saying a word, he took two steps forward and knelt down in front of Chu Huan. With tears rolling down his face, he said in a trembling voice, "Ling Shuang thanks Mr. Chu for saving his life. Mr. Chu's kindness to Ling Shuang, Ling Shuang has nothing to repay in this life, she only wishes to stay by Young Master's side, and be a cow or a horse to repay Young Master Chu for saving his life!"

Chu Huan was in a hurry, and he didn't care about men and women, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Mo Lingshuang, and said repeatedly: "Get up, get up, what are you doing?"

Mo Lingshuang was helped up, and the crystal tears were still rolling down his cheeks. Chu Huan hated women crying the most, took out a handkerchief from his arms, handed it to Mo Lingshuang, and said gently: "Miss Lingshuang, wipe your tears first If you have anything to say, speak slowly, this is my mansion, nothing will happen." Looking at Sun Desheng, he frowned slightly, not knowing why this guy brought Mo Lingshuang to him.
