Mr. Zhuang slowly came back to his senses, glanced at him, and asked, "Who is looking for you?"

Yao Ge shook his head, "A businessman happened to come to our place. He mentioned you at first, but I didn't have any reaction. Then he went to find Chen'er. Seeing that our father and son didn't respond, he took out the money and wanted us to come to the capital for a visit.

trip."

He said: "The purpose is so clear, so the identity cannot be true."

Mr. Zhuang frowned, "What's it called?"

"His name is Wan Dong. I heard he's from Luozhou, but from what I heard, his accent sounds like he's from this part of the capital."

"What is the purpose?"

"Retelling what happened back then, I said that the poems were Chen Fulin's."

Mr. Zhuang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that almost thirty years later, if I mentioned this matter again, I would be back to the starting point."

Yao Ge said nothing.

Mr. Zhuang sighed, stood up and said, "I know, I will be careful."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yao Ge said: "I didn't promise them. I came to Beijing this time to settle the matter. Did you receive the letter I sent you back then?"

Mr. Zhuang said lightly "Yeah".

Yao Ge then exhaled and said: "With the letter I gave you back then, I can also vouch for you. Let's settle this matter."

Mr. Zhuang turned and looked back at him, "Almost thirty years have passed and you have never mentioned ending the matter. Why do you mention it now?"

Yao Ge smiled bitterly and said: "Because now you are strong and he is weak."

"I am a coward, and I have a small family behind me. If he is still an official in the capital, and you and I are commoners, I will not want to come forward to antagonize him," he said: "But now, you are here

When he became an official in the court, he became an official and left."

Mr. Zhuang said: "It is clear that we seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

Yao Ge did not refute, and said dullly: "Yes, I am no longer the Yao Ge I was back then."

One wrong step leads to a wrong step, and so does courage and character.

How carefree and comfortable they were when they were studying together, and how ambitious and courageous they were.

As a result, he did something wrong, and his courage seemed to have leaked out. His spine was bent, and it has never been straightened since then.

He spent three years avoiding his mistakes and refused to admit that he was wrong. Later, he wrote a letter to Zhuang Xun, telling himself in his heart that the matter was over, but deep down he knew it was not.

So he spent another twenty years to blind himself, until someone came to the door, and he spent a month tearing apart the past, and then he began to face himself and Zhuang Xun head-on.

Mr. Zhuang was speechless for a long time when he saw him speaking out about his shamelessness.

This is why he can look at Chen Fulin with a smile. He does not resent Chen Fulin in his heart because he is not worth it. He can think about ways to deal with Chen Fulin based on his own interests and then choose the best way.

But with Yao Ge, Mr. Zhuang couldn't even make ordinary greetings.

Because this was someone I considered a close friend.

Mr. Zhuang's eyes were slightly red, and he turned to leave. When he reached the door, he said: "There is no need for this matter. Chen Fulin is not in the capital, so there is no point in bringing it up again."

Yao Ge watched him leave and opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.

He turned his head and looked at the untouched tea that Mr. Zhuang had placed on the table. He sighed slightly and sat on the chair for a long time without responding.

Yao Chen came over and saw his father sitting blankly. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Father, isn't Uncle Zhuang here?"

"He came and he left."

Yao Chen was startled and asked, "Didn't he forgive you?"

Yao Ge glanced at the cup of tea and sighed: "How can we forgive or not forgive? Although he is in good spirits, his temples are also gray."

He stood up holding Yao Chen's hand and asked, "Has anyone heard about it?"

"No, but we are not familiar with the place in the capital, so it's possible that we can't find out. Has father told Uncle Zhuang about it?"

Yao Ge nodded, thinking that Zhuang Xun didn't want to communicate with him much, he sighed and said: "You can send him a copy of the portrait later, and we don't need to worry about it at this time."

Yao Chen was surprised, "Don't care?"

"We don't have manpower in the capital. It's not easy to check him. Why don't we leave it to your Uncle Zhuang? He is now an official in the capital. None of the three apprentices are ordinary people. There should be no need for our intervention."

Yao Chen fell silent and nodded after a while, "Then shall we go home? Or... sign up the two children and let them try the Jinshi Examination?"

Yao Chen was actually a little uneasy when he said this. He said: "Father, I don't think Uncle Zhuang will remember what happened back then, and Chen Fulin is not in the capital now. Maybe the children can try to take the Jinshi exam."

He said: "It's not like me. I only took the Ming Lv exam at the local level."

Yao Ge thought for a moment and finally was unwilling to delay the future of his two grandsons, so he nodded.

Yao Chen breathed a sigh of relief and became happy.

At this time, Mr. Zhuang was sitting in the car thinking, who went to Yao Ge to pin the incident on his head again?

Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but click his fingers. He was just a small minister, and he was old and had no hope of promotion. He only taught the prince a lesson every ten days. He might have some love in the future, but his age and resume

Here, who would deal with him?

And it takes so much effort.

Now that the prince's status has become much more stable, he is indeed very popular, and the Chongwen Pavilion and Zhan Shifu have also improved together. But no matter what, he is not worth such a big deal as a sixth-grade minister.

If it's not him, then it's for the people behind him.

who?

Prince?

Mr. Zhuang shook his head slightly. If he really wanted to deal with the prince as a disciple, he should have trouble with Kong Jijiu. Regardless of his rank, or because Kong Jijiu had been the prince's teacher since he was a child, he would have to go to him.

That leaves only three children.

Mr. Zhuang excluded Bai Erlang first. The boy is now like a fish in water in the Imperial Academy. He only wants to write storybooks and occasionally do tasks assigned by the Imperial Academy. The rest of the time is spent playing house with Princess Mingda.

.

He has no career ambitions.

Bai Shan and Zhou Man?

Mr. Zhuang began to think deeply.

"Sir, we're home."

The servant brought the stool over and helped Mr. Zhuang get out of the car.

Mr. Zhuang asked the concierge, "Are Bai Shan and Man Bao back?"

"Sir, the young master and the lady are not back, and Daji is not back either."

so late?

Mr. Zhuang turned to look at the sky and shook his head slightly, "Are they going out to eat and drink again?"

Bai Shan and Man Bao are working overtime.

The emperor is going to Yongzhou Palace to escape the summer heat. Not only is he bringing many people, but he is also bringing a lot of things.

Of the six Zhongshushe people, the emperor left three for the prince and took away three. However, this was not the same; they had to work in shifts. Currently, the schedule is one shift every ten days.

For the first time, the emperor named Bai Shan, so he was packing his things.

We can only work overtime on things in Zhongshu Province.

Manbao is also working overtime.
