Helping Xu Ping tidy up his official robe, Xiuxiu sighed: "Suddenly, as soon as the official went out, I didn't know what I should do. Alas, sitting alone in the room was a little upset."

Xu Ping patted Xiuxiu's hand: "Then find some interesting things to do, I can't always be with you."

Xiuxiu smiled and said, "For the past year, I have been used to doing some chores at home and being a girl-red girl in my spare time, but now I can't do it anymore."

"Reading, writing, there are worlds in books, stories that you can't even imagine, you will like."

After saying that, Xu Ping turned around and left the door. Alas, Xiuxiu is not as good as the little girl he had when he went to Yongzhou back then. At that time, as long as there were delicious food and fun, Xiuxiu would have fun and no one had to worry about it.

With Tan Hu and a few followers, Xu Ping left the inn. Unexpectedly, the postmaster led a few postmen to follow him all the way, holding a pen and inkstone, Xu Ping said with a gaze: "Ducao, this small inn is located on the two capitals' post roads, which is very lively. I don't know how many famous officials and scholars have left their treasures in the white wall in front of the door. Ducao is destined to be, why not leave two good sentences to show future generations."

Xu Ping looked at the Yicheng, turned around and looked at the Bai Wall in front of the door, and was a little hesitant for a moment. The young Jinshi went to the place where he was sent, and this kind of thing would be inevitable in the future. Xu Ping could naturally ignore the Yicheng and just leave. However, if he was not famous, he was often ridiculed for not having talent in poetry and prose. Although he could become a famous person like Feng Zheng, he could not learn well and learn to learn those bad examples, right?

Zhaotou looked at the sky above Zhengzhou City not far away, and several eagles were flying by. It was autumn now, and the hares and field mice in the fields were active. They were all prey of the hawks and falcons, and they naturally soared in the blue sky from time to time.

Thoughtful, Xu Ping took the pen from the Yishou hand, went to Baibi, and wrote four sentences and seven quatrains.

"The willows in the Bian River are haggard, and the eagles fly freely by the city.

I think Luoyang autumn is just right, and I secretly wonder when I will return here?"

When the Tongzong Lu Ge, who was with him, saw it, he sighed secretly. The favorite ministers were indeed different. He had just left the Kaifeng Prefecture Realm and thought about when he would return to Beijing. People like him would not think about returning or not. He Fang, the next You Guan, had no idea. He was already grateful to be able to go to a wealthy place without suffering.

The postmaster on the side thanked repeatedly, and the accompanying officials praised him. Xu Ping smiled faintly, put his pen back, and walked towards Zhengzhou City first. Who can take the flattery in the officialdom seriously? If one day he wrote a poem casually and was widely sung in places where others didn't know, his poems and essays would have made great progress.

The transfer envoy brought the word "Entertainment" to the dispatcher. Strictly speaking, it was not a local official, but a court sent by the court to inspect the local area, so the ceremonial guard was simple. Xu Ping came out this time, except for Xiuxiu, only Tan Hu and a dozen soldiers and followers. The people at home, including Xu Chang, would have to come to find him with Lin Suniang next year, and his parents might also come.

However, the Transportation Commissioner was the leader of all departments along the way, and the ceremonies on this route were too shabby and unreasonable. The prefectures and counties passed by would send people as ceremonies to see them off along the way and hand over to the prefecture and county boundaries. So at this time, Liu Dujian had already brought people, some stayed in the inn, and several other important ones were with the people led by Tan Hu to go to the prefecture yamen with Xu Ping.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival now, and when we arrived at the prefecture, a full moon was already hanging on the treetops.

Lu Ge led Xu Ping all the way to the Houya, where the wedding banquet was held tonight.

The 72-year-old Chen Yaozuo had white hair and still had strong body. He quickly walked up and said loudly: "I am old and can't walk anymore. I have never greeted him outside the city. Don't be surprised by Xu Longtu!"

Xu Ping hurriedly bowed and bowed: "Why are you ashamed of your husband saying this? You should have come to visit me as soon as you arrive in the city. It was just that the boat and car were exhausted and covered in dust. When you see the elders disrespectful, you can clean up in the inn."

While the two of them were politely speaking, Chen Yaozuo pulled Xu Ping's hand and gave it to the guest seat, and sat down in the main seat.

Everyone sat down and came to drink. Chen Yaozuo took the drinks for three rounds.

At this time, the moon was rising, the moon was as bright as water, and the yamen was bright as daylight. Lu Ge ordered singing and dancing to come up, and a few young ladies were there to play the piano and pipa, and sang non-stop.

Chen Yaozuo frowned and said to Lu Ge: "I am an old man, you ask a group of young ladies to come up. What's the point? Although Xu Longtu is young, he has just married a new concubine. Recently, the emperor is worried about women and is quitting these things. He quickly retreats!"

Lu Gelingnuo sent someone to send away the group of singing and dancing prostitutes, and called another one to come up with him.

A short and smart artist with a wisp of goat whiskers under his chin was a joker. He came to the table and bowed, "My husband, all the officials, I have learned to write recently, and I have very good writing styles. Taking advantage of the bright moon tonight, I will write a word for the officials to see, so that we can know that although we are a cheap man, we are also a good writer."

Chen Yaozuo nodded: "If I write well, I will have a reward here!"

After receiving the order, the man spread a large piece of paper on it, took a huge pen in his hand, and painted the paper in a pitch black. Then he stood up, looked left and right, shook his head, and was extremely proud. Finally, he touched a piece of chalk from somewhere and pointed four dots on the pitch black ball.

After throwing the chalk, the man came to the table to hand over the order: "Young master is famous all over the world and is recognized as a great man. How about the word "small"?

Chen Yaozuo stood up, stretched his neck but couldn't see clearly. He took out a small box from his robe, opened it and put it on, and said to Xu Ping: "I bought the shop in Sansi, everything is good, but it's a little expensive!"

After saying that, he looked at the paper on the ground with glasses, but still couldn't see any words, and asked the old man: "What is this?"

The old man bowed and replied, "My husband, this is the word "tian", a young man who has learned the ink-dumping book!"

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. Chen Yunzuo waved his hands repeatedly: "You have spent a lot of ink, what else do you want to reward! Go down quickly! Remember in the future, you are not using ink ink indiscriminately, don't go out and talk nonsense!"

The old man laughed and stepped down.

Chen Yaozuo created his own ink books, and his calligraphy was considered to be his own. It was just because he was always made fun of him. When he was in Zhongshu, Shi Zhongli said that he learned his ink books, but he also joked with him, which made him very disappointed.

After a while, the wine was half over, all the singing, dancing and miscellaneous operas were withdrawn. A Yaozuo ordered to take fresh fruits to drink.

Pointing at a basket of red pomegranates, Chen Yaozuo said to Xu Ping: "This is Heyin pomegranate, produced by a place name, and it is very sweet and crisp. Longtu has spent a lot of time in Heyin County, but unfortunately it was not the season at that time, so I missed this delicious food."

Xu Ping knew that he was going to talk about the serious business, so he took a pomegranate and smiled and said, "Since it is native, it is available every year, when is it the same to eat it? Thank you for your intentions, and I will fulfill my thoughts."

Slowly peeling off the pomegranate, Chen Yaozuo asked Xu Ping: "This time, Longtu is the Caoxian on the West Road of Jing, don't you know what to do first?"

Xu Ping thought for a while and replied, "When talking about Heyin County, you will know that I had explored the river channel leading Luo to Bian a few months ago. This time I came to Jingxi Road, so I naturally only waited for the autumn to start the construction of the canal."

Chen Yaozuo stroked his beard and raised his head and said, "If it is said that it is to manage the river and open the canal, who can be used on the West Jing Road?"

"The best in the world in the management of rivers, and who can compare with the civil and military officials in the court? However, my husband is old and it is not only a laborious task to open the canal after autumn, but also a colder wind. How dare I work hard for my husband?"

Chen Yaozuo shook his head: "It would be fine if it was something else, but if I opened a canal at my doorstep, if I didn't go over and watch it, I would be afraid that I would not be able to fall asleep late at night. Although Longtu was a young man, he has made many contributions to the country. I heard that in addition to destroying Jiaozhi, what you are best at is money and food, and the second is to build roads, digging ditches and controlling water..."

Chen Yaozuo has many political achievements in the local area, and he is best at two things, one is water control and the other is road construction. Especially in water control, he has made achievements in several places. His first "reducing money and real method" has become the most commonly used method of dam repair at this time.

The waterway leading Luo into Bian did not pass through Zhengzhou, so when Xu Ping and Chen Yaozuo came forward to explore the river channel, he did not have any contact. This time he went to Jingxi Road as a transshipment commander, and the first thing he did was to open this canal, which not only eliminates the sandstorm of the Bian River, but also opens Luoyang Cao Road so that the waterway transportation to Beijing will no longer pass through the Yellow River and can be navigated all year round.

According to Xu Ping's plan, there was no job in Zhengzhou when opening the river this time. Even the personnel were mainly Qinghexiang Army. The civil servants in several states along the way could use less. They took care of the money and food along the way, and when they arrived, they were in trouble. They were very bad for their future work and reputation. Unexpectedly, Chen Yunzuo was focused on this matter and took the initiative to bring it up.

In the court, Chen Yaozuo relied on Lu Yijian, but Chen Yaozuo's qualifications were stronger than Lu Yijian. The two had more cooperative relationships, and could not be considered as Lu Yijian's party. Although they were already 72 years old, Chen Yaozuo was self-reliant and was unwilling to be a political affairs officer. He also wanted to be the prime minister. To show that he was getting stronger, it was naturally best to have specific things to do. Now the one in front of him was to bring Luo into Bian Water Conservancy Project.

Xu Ping is right. Speaking of water conservancy projects, now all the civil and military officials in the court are now, who dares to compare with Chen Yunzuo?

Chen Shenghua's third son, eldest son Chen Yaosou and third son Chen Yaozi are both top scholars, and only the second son Chen Yaozuo is a Jinshi. When he was young, he once met Chen Tuan and told him that all three sons were generals and prime ministers, but the middle son was noble and long-lasting. Chen Tuan was a man who was so preached, and many people care about his words. The same is true for Chen Yaozuo. He should be the most expensive among the three brothers. How could he be the last one to be a minister and political affairs?
