Chapter 4(1)()

Taiyuan, Di Mansion.

In the morning, Di's mansion showed a busy and busy anger. Di Chun directed several servants to load and transport the nanmu tables, chairs and peacock screens in the second hall. In front of the backyard, Lao Zhang and another chef were checking the vegetables that had just arrived. The wet nurse took Di Jinghui's children to play in the yard in front of the hall. Chen Qiuyue went to the back hall to invite her parents-in-law to her parents-in-law, and at this moment he also came to the yard to watch the children play. The pale and haggard faces were slightly touched by her pale and haggard faces.

Di Renjie has developed the habit of getting up before the Mao hour in the morning for many years. He had already used breakfast at this time and stood in the study in a neat manner. He was a little at a loss and was strolling around the room, not sure what to do today.

"Sir." Li Yuanfang called out at the door.

"Yuan Fang, come in quickly." Di Renjie felt indescribable closeness in his heart when he saw Li Yuanfang. As he walked into the room, Di Renjie looked up and down carefully, but he could not see anything unusual. Li Yuanfang was wearing a semi-new moon white robe, and his whole body was neat and neat, both of which were meticulous as a soldier and the elegance of a Confucian scholar. Di Renjie looked at him with appreciation, hurriedly led him to the edge of the couch and let him sit beside him.

"Did you have a good rest last night? Are you still used to this place?" Di Renjie asked with a smile.

Li Yuanfang nodded and smiled and said, "Sir, I have a good rest."

"That's good, that's good." Di Renjie said: "Yuan Fang, you came just right. I just thought that our experience along the way and many doubts are still to be investigated. You and I have time today to think about the whole process carefully."

"Sir, you can't do anything to follow you."

"Yuan Fang, don't make fun of me. This time I will let you take the lead in reasoning and see if you have mastered some real skills after being by my side for so many years."

"Sir, let me try it, but if Yuan Fang is not inferred well, you can't blame Yuan Fang. After all, over the years, the tasks you assigned to Yuan Fang are mainly fighting and learning as a supplement."

Di Renjie laughed loudly, Di Chun hurried to the door, just about to report the matter, but when he saw the two of them harmoniously, he couldn't bear to disturb him for a moment, so he stood in front of the door with a silly smile. When Di Renjie stopped laughing, he found Di Chun and asked, "Di Chun, do you want to come in or go out?"

Di Chun hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Master, Lord Chen Songtao, the governor of Bing, is here and wants to see you."

"Oh, please come here soon."

Seeing Di Chun running quickly towards the front yard, Di Renjie introduced to Li Yuanfang: "Yuan Fang, the position of Bingzhou governor has always been held by King Wu Chengsi of Wei. After the King of Wei died of illness a year ago, the emperor appointed the Prime Minister to take over. But you also know that these two princes are the highest-ranking figures in this dynasty and generally do not leave the capital. Therefore, this Chen Changshi is the actual highest-ranking official in Bingzhou. He has served here for more than ten years and has achieved great political achievements. He is also a high-ranking official who is trusted by the emperor. His daughter Qiuyue is Jinghui's wife. You met her last night. Therefore, he is also my in-laws..."

As he was speaking, Di Chun led Chen Songtao to the entrance of the study room. Di Renjie stopped and hurriedly took a few steps forward, saying with a smile: "Oh, Lord Chen, you are so busy with business and you are working to visit yourself. I really kill me."

Chen Songtao stood at the door, bowed respectfully, and said, "Old Guo, you have always been nice. Songtao is polite here."

"Okay, OK, Lord Chen, please come in."

The two adults walked into the study with humility. Chen Songtao saw Li Yuanfang standing by the door at a glance and hurriedly said, "This is General Li Yuanfang, right?"

Di Renjie said: "Yuan Fang, this is Lord Chen. Song Tao, you recognize it correctly. This is Yuan Fang, my right-hand man."

While greeting Li Yuanfang, Chen Songtao looked at him up and down, and smiled and said, "It's true that the Fame is worthy, and it's true that the Fengshen is handsome and handsome. No wonder Songtao often hears people say that the Lord of China cannot live without General Li at all times."

Li Yuanfang just smiled, didn't speak, and bowed to the side.

Di Renjie and Chen Songtao took their seats separately, and Di Chun presented incense tea.

"Songtao, I just arrived in Taiyuan yesterday afternoon. Although I didn't have time to go out to experience the customs of the city, according to the appearance of the city and the expressions of the people I saw when I returned home from outside the city, the northern capital Taiyuan was managed in an orderly manner, and the people could also be said to be living and working in peace and contentment. No wonder all the deposed envoys who have visited Bingzhou have praised you. Songtao, you have done a good job. With a good official like you, I can really live and live with peace of mind, haha."

"The elder of the country has been awarded too much. Song Tao is ashamed. As a parent, it is really a duty to work hard and love the people. How can Song Tao's mere act be compared with the elder of the country's ability to promote the world and support the country. Moreover, the elder of the country has repeatedly asked the emperor to retire, but when was the emperor really accurate? This time the elder of the country's return to his hometown, I'm afraid it wouldn't be as simple as retirement. As Song Tao thought, at least, the elder of the country should still be responsible for guiding local strategies and reviewing local officials."

Di Renjie shook his head and replied with a smile: "Songtao, you are wrong this time. I am grateful to the emperor. I really want to pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely see the southern mountain."

Chen Songtao smiled and said, "That's the best, that's the best. Songtao is also worried that the country's elders will work hard for the state and will not be able to escape for a while, so they will have such speculations. I hope the country's elders will forgive me."

Di Renjie took a sip of tea and said, "Where?"

Chen Songtao looked at Li Yuanfang, who was sitting upright in the bottom position, and smiled and said, "I wonder what the hell is there for General Li to come to Taiyuan this time?"

Di Renjie said: "Ah, that's why the emperor is concerned about my old age and weakness and relied heavily on Yuan Fang, so he specially asked Yuan Fang to accompany me back home. Alas, it's really thanks to Yuan Fang along the way."

"Oh? Did you encounter any trouble along the way?"

"Ah, there is nothing big, just some small twists and turns, plus some small adventures."

"Oh? What are the twists and turns and adventures of the Grand Master? Can you tell me?"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Songtao, you have been an official in Bingzhou for many years. Have you ever heard of a place called Lan Yuguan?"

"Lan Yuguan?" Chen Songtao's expression changed, and he continued to say: "I haven't heard of it."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Last night, Yuan Fang and I mistakenly entered such a place and stayed there for a night, haha. That is really a strange place, an empty Taoist temple. If Song Tao hadn't been to it, I can take Song Tao to see it in the future."

"What's good, very good."

Di Renjie paused and said, "Songtao, I want to thank you for taking care of Jinghui's family for me over the years. Di Jinghui is naughty by nature, so you must have been worried a lot."

Chen Songtao said: "Where does the Lord Guo start? Although Jing Hui is not interested in the career and is only willing to obtain a fifth-rank official rank, he is smart and capable, and has a heroic temperament and a strong spirit. Over the years, he has made great achievements in the word "Shang" and has become a famous wealthy businessman in my northern capital. Oh, not only Taiyuan, but also one of the top ones in the entire Hedongdao."

Di Renjie said with a serious expression: "State the Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, this business is in the last place, and no matter how successful he is, it is nothing. Although Di Jinghui has the ability to make money, he is not loyal to serving the country. It is not the right way."

Chen Songtao smiled and said, "The eldest son of the country is a bit stricter. The court went to war with Tubo the year before yesterday, and there was a lack of military pay. Jing Hui pledged 500,000 taels of silver alone. It can be regarded as a purpose of repaying the country." He observed Di Renjie's face and smiled hurriedly, "Oh, Jing Hui is my son-in-law. The father-in-law naturally became happier the more he saw his son-in-law. But the old man taught his son a lesson, but it was stricter. This is also human nature."

Di Renjie only smiled faintly, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea, and said, "Songtao, Qiuyue and the children have lived with me these days. Since you are here today, you are just going to see their girls. You are busy with business and don't know if there are many opportunities to meet them?"

Chen Songtao hurriedly said, "The Grandpa Guo is very thoughtful. I was thinking about going to see my daughters and grandchildren. So, Songtao said goodbye first."

"well."
