In the eyes of Bannermen, Dahata is a very strange person.

He doesn't seem to have any hobbies, he doesn't like birds, he doesn't like gambling, he doesn't listen to music, and he doesn't visit brothels.He was the first one to arrive at the yamen every day and the last one to leave. He nodded and bowed when he saw people, submissive, and worked cautiously.

Serving as a servant in the Ministry of War, or supervising the arresting servant, such an important official position, it is likely to be called "Master", and then buy a house, marry ten concubines and eight concubines, and have a bunch of children.

But he is almost 50 years old, and he still has a wife who has faded color. Both daughters have been married long ago, and they don't even have a queen.

The Manchus who worked in the Ministry of War were polite to him on the surface, but secretly laughed at him for being stupid, and were perfunctory to the work he assigned.

But at the critical moment when someone needs to take the blame, the big guys are still the first to think of him.

"My lord! My lord, wake up!"

Dahata was on the night shift today, so he just closed his eyes and rested his mind, not daring to doze off.Hearing the call of his subordinates, he trembled and almost stood up.

"What's going on? Is there a fugitive?"

"I'm not sure. A few carriages were detained at the gate of the city. The brothers want to search, but this group of people dare to stop them!"

Dahata understood it as soon as he heard it.

This is because the defenders at the door failed to ask for bribes, and the other party probably has some background, so both sides froze.

Someone needs to make an apology, so that the two sides can have a step down.

"Oh, did you say which one it is?"

"It is said that they are Chen Tingjing's family members in Mr. Chen's residence."

That's easy, Chen Tingjing is not a mean person, and now everyone is monitoring Suo'etu together, so we can intercede.

Dahata carefully put on his official uniform, put on a red cap, rode an old horse that was better fed than him, and went to the gate of the city as soon as possible to quell the dispute.

It was almost time, and there was no one on the road, it was pitch black.The light of torches and lanterns in the distance shines extraordinarily far and brilliantly.He could clearly see a dignified blue-veiled sedan, pulled by three fat, powerful gray horses with shiny coats, followed by two ordinary but brand-new carts.

Just buying these things, he has to account for his one-year salary.

Mr. Chen's family is really rich, no wonder he was able to take out 2000 taels of cash in one go, and the lasso figure entered the game.

When the guards saw him coming, they had confidence in their hearts, and they refused to relax even more.

"See, it's just because you are dawdling and not cooperating with the government's errands, our servant minister has come here on purpose. Minister servant, have you heard of it? Senior official!"

The coachman of the Chen family sneered, showing no fear.

"In our Chen family, I don't know how much Jinshi Juren has paid, and the second master has also become the servant of the official department. There is nothing to be afraid of you! We have all the documents and have already given you filial money, don't be greedy!"

Both sides are staring at each other, neither one is willing to take a step back.

Dahata was afraid that the horse would be too tired, so he came down and walked by himself when he was only a few steps away.

He thought he was still far away from Chen Tingjing, and he couldn't compare.

"Oh, you are from Mr. Chen's house?"

The coachman and the guards saw him approaching on foot, holding an old horse lovingly. If it weren't for his official uniform and top hat, they would hardly recognize him.

"My lord servant, the younger ones are ordered to search for fugitives and forbid the private transfer of copper coins. We need to open their luggage for inspection. But this coachman is very arrogant and doesn't follow the imperial court's orders. Please be careful, my lord!"

Just as Dahata was about to open his mouth to drink mud, he suddenly heard a movement from a distance.Taking a closer look, I saw the big character "Chen" written on a lantern, followed by a small sedan chair, walking in a hurry.

Looking at its regulations, it was Chen Tingjing who came in person.

"Oh, Mr. Chen, what a laborious task!"

Chen Tingjing knew that his niece had always had a weird temper, so he didn't dare to sleep to death, and had been waiting for her to come.There was no news for a long time after the appointed time, he couldn't lie down, so he came out to meet him in a sedan chair, and something went wrong.

He hurriedly got out of the sedan chair and apologized to Dahata.

"Oh, I've caused you trouble, and it's all my fault for my poor family management."

"Uncle's words are wrong!"

A bright and crisp female voice sounded in the green-veiled carriage.

"If there are regulations for entering the capital, how dare the Chen family refuse to follow them. Just now, the defenders asked for documents and bribed them through the corridor. It was reasonable, and Lao Chen agreed. It's them who have to look forward to Shu. Seeing that we have a lot of luggage, we seem to have a bit of family wealth. They will be searched forcibly, and the things used by the female relatives will be ruined, and they will be released only after asking for a price of 100 taels of silver."

When Chen Tingjing saw that the situation was irreversible, he had no choice but to wink at Dahata.

If he didn't punish this group of people, he might not be able to step down as a boss.

Dahata would not speak harshly, but actually walked to the front of the carriage, pulled the bridle and walked forward.

The sergeants didn't expect that the dignified servant would be willing to be a groom, and they didn't know how to deal with it in a hurry, so they let the carriage enter the city.

Seeing this, several housekeepers who followed Chen Tingjing settled down on the following matters, and then Dahata let go, bid farewell to Chen Tingjing, got on his horse and went back to the Ministry of War.

The green-curtained carriage moved forward slowly, and it took only a little over a quarter of an hour to enter the backyard of the Chen residence.

"Miss, please come down, we are here."

Chen Shuyi asked the maid who was close to her to lift the curtain and got out of the car calmly.

Since she has a reputation of being a poor family, she doesn't need to paint.A yellow and clear face, with only a few jade hairpins on the head to pull up the long hair, wearing a white satin wide-sleeved shirt on top, and an indigo horse-face skirt on the bottom.The skirt has very few folds, and it was cut short for the convenience of traveling, revealing a pair of natural feet.

"Where's uncle? I want to see him."

The housekeeper knew that this eldest lady was easy to mess with, so he replied tremblingly.

"Master is practicing calligraphy in the study."

"Then you go and pass it on, and tell me that I have something important to do."

In the middle of the night, my niece sees her uncle. Isn't it a little bit bad?

But the steward didn't dare to talk back, so he went to do it quickly.

Chen Tingjing made up his mind to reprimand her, and immediately agreed, sitting on the teacher's chair and waiting, without drinking a cup of freshly made red dates and wolfberry soup.

"Uncle, stay safe."

Chen Shuyi was not polite, she picked an elegant octagonal stool and sat down without being waited on, she filled a cup of tea and began to sip it carefully.

"Eldest niece, we have never seen each other. You are taught by your elder brother and mother. I can't say anything. But now you are going to enter the palace and become Si Gege's master. This is the glory of the Chen family and the grace of the emperor. For the sake of the Chen family I have to say a few words about my future!"

"Then uncle, can I talk first? I see you, it's a long story. But I'll just say a few words."

She didn't wait for Chen Tingjing to agree, and continued talking on her own.

"The one just now is Mr. Dahata, the Minister of the Ministry of War. You should avoid making friends with him. This person is hard to become a master, and he might drag you down in the future."

"A woman's opinion! He is an upright official..."

"Integrity is good, but he doesn't have the talent to be a servant. Such a person can also be a scholar, but it's hard to be a big responsibility."

Chen Tingjing was so choked that he couldn't speak, and drank supper angrily.

This girl read the mansion newspaper again.
