As I get older, I love to reminisce about the past. In just a moment, Qin Xiang thought of the afternoon when Qin Dewei was kicked out of the Enlightenment Society of Dakongfang.

While making a sharp turn, he considered and said: "What I mean is, you have to go north after all, and you can't be by Dalang's side. How can you teach reading?"

Qin Dewei continued to stroke Qin Guozuo's head and replied: "I want to take their mother and son with me, and they will be by my side from now on."

Qin Xiang was obviously reluctant to give up and remained silent. Qin Dewei sighed and stopped mentioning this topic that would make his uncle uncomfortable.

At this time, the housekeeper Hao Danian came in and reported: "There is news from the county government that the new governor of Yingtian, Mr. Gu Lin, will come to Nanjing in two days and ask the second old man if he wants to participate in the entertainment?"

When superior officials go to a certain place, the local government often organizes representatives of the gentry to participate in the reception. For the gentry, this is also a good opportunity to get in touch with high-ranking officials.

As the most famous family in Nanjing, it is normal for the Qin family to be invited to participate in such activities.

Although Governor Yingtian actually doesn't care about the affairs in Nanjing, on the surface, Governor Yingtian's area includes all the places in Nanzhili south of the Yangtze River, so Yingtian Mansion, Jiangning County, and Shangyuan County still have to be polite

to receive the governor.

But Qin Dewei still felt that something was wrong. According to time calculation, Gu Lin would only arrive in Jurong, the governor's residence, to take office today.

Then, before the seats were warmed, he came to Nanjing two days later. He had some ulterior motive.

I don’t know what Old Man Gu wants to do. Could it be that he was stimulated by the “new generation” last night and wants to reinvent his existence?

At the end of the family dinner, Qin Xiang persuaded Qin Dewei again: "You are too young to become an official. I'm afraid you will have to go through decades of official career.

But if you stay in the capital for a long time and do not return, my Qin family will lack people to establish a household in Nanjing. And due to my background, uncle and I will find it difficult to hold a big position, and I will grow old sooner or later.

If there is no backbone and the time lasts for decades, the Qin family's foundations in Nanjing will inevitably run into problems! I heard that when the emperor goes on tour, the prince must stay in the capital to supervise the country. This is not unreasonable.

So it’s better to let Dalang stay in Nanjing and wait only ten years before you can start a family. Otherwise, who else can protect the southeastern family business for you?”

Qin Dewei was surprised. He didn't expect his uncle to say such things. He asked suspiciously: "Did you come up with these words yourself, or did someone else say them to you?"

Qin Xiang replied without hesitation: "You don't have to misunderstand anything, it's all my own thoughts! I've been thinking about it for several years!"

Qin Dewei nodded, "What my uncle said makes sense. Our Qin family is not yet a big family. We are really short of people. Let me think twice."

The family dinner ended happily, and Qin Dewei took his two sons to play in the garden.

Now the relationship between father and son is like "the strangest relatives". The two little boys don't know why, but they are extremely restrained in front of their biological father.

Fortunately, we are still young, so we started to have fun after getting acquainted with each other for a while. After all, blood is thicker than water.

Among them, Erlang still only knows Shale's age, but Dalang can already have a simple conversation, but there are a lot of problems after letting go.

"Why doesn't your mother let you talk about flower wine?" "Why don't you let your father teach me how to read?" "How many mothers do I have?"

When Bachelor Qin was tired of dealing with his son's problems, Qin Xiang, who had become the second eldest son of the Qin family before he turned 40, went to the front hall.

Jiao Xiucai personally went to Puzikou to collect a batch of this year's new tea and delivered it to the Qin Mansion in person. The approachable second old man personally received Jiao Xiucai.

The second old man had worked as a police officer in Jiangning County for many years, and he had already understood Jiao Xiucai's family situation inside and out. Apart from being poor, there was no problem.

I just asked my eldest nephew, and he didn't see any obvious objection. I've basically made up my mind.

But the eldest nephew had other instructions, and Mr. Qin Er could only act according to the eldest nephew's script, and asked with a straight face: "I heard that you went to Jiangdong Tower last night?"

In this spring weather, Jiao Xiucai broke out in a cold sweat, and his face immediately changed. His mind was like a lightning strike. How did the Qin family know?

Old Master Qin Er shouted softly: "Have you gone or not?"

Jiao Xiucai answered truthfully with difficulty: "I went."

He originally thought that Mr. Qin Er would take the opportunity to reprimand him, but unexpectedly, Mr. Qin Er got stuck on his words. After thinking for a while, he spoke again and snorted coldly:

"My Qin family does not marry unknown people! If you want to marry my Qin family's daughter, just become the host of the New Jinling Poetry Society, otherwise there will be no discussion!"

Jiao Xiucai was speechless, how much do you think highly of yourself?

He really couldn't figure it out. What happened in the past two days that everyone was talking about this? How on earth did he look like he could be a host?

Watching the melancholy Jiao Xiucai leave, Mr. Qin Er was unable to help. The most authoritative eldest nephew of the Qin family said that this is called a test of "reverse business", which can best reveal one's character.

After walking out of the small side door of the five-bay red door and passing the four-column, three-story stone archway, Jiao Wenjie gradually came to his senses.

There is something wrong with that Zhang Juzheng! It must have been Zhang Juzheng who passed the news to the Qin family! Otherwise, how could the Qin family know about it so quickly?

Moreover, when I went to look for Zhang Juzheng this morning, my friend Zhang disappeared mysteriously and did not wait for me to enter the city with him. At the time, I just thought it was weird, and now I think about it, it is full of doubts!

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became. Jiao Wenjie turned to look for Gao Changjiang, the eldest brother from the county school. It was Gao Changjiang who introduced him to the Qin family in the first place. If there was a problem, Gao Changjiang should know about it.

Since Qin Dewei's promotion, Gao Changjiang, a close comrade-in-arms, became an old student and fulfilled his wish to become the leading brother of the county school, also known as the top student.

Moreover, the Spring and Autumn Poetry Awards founded by Qin Dewei have always been jointly sponsored by Yuanfenghao and Taibailou, which further increased the voice of Gao Changjiang, the young owner of Taibailou and the minority shareholder of Yuanfenghao, in the Nanjing literary world.

At this time, Gao Changjiang was hosting a banquet in his Taibai Tower to win over scholars. Every spring was the peak period of literati activities, and the battle to host the New Jinling Poetry Society had also reached its most critical moment. Naturally, Gao Changjiang did not dare to slack off.

After Jiao Xiucai found Gao Changjiang, he invited Gao Changjiang to a corner of the backyard where there were no outsiders, and then informed him of what had happened in the past two days.

"This is not just for you, but for me!" After hearing this, Gao Changjiang took up the responsibility with the air of a big brother.

He, Gao Changjiang, is the matchmaker between Jiao Wenjie and the Qin family. To damage Jiao Wenjie would be tantamount to damaging his relationship with Gao Changjiang and the Qin family!

As long as the Qin family thinks, "How could Gao Changjiang introduce such a person?", the other party's goal will be achieved!

Then Gao Changjiang said with great certainty: "I can conclude that Zhang Juzheng must have been instructed by others to deliberately lure you into the bait!"

Jiao Wenjie asked: "Can you mobilize your colleagues to find this Ju Zheng?"

Gao Changjiang frowned and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him! He disappeared without a trace this morning. He was hiding deliberately. He may not even be in Nanjing anymore!"

Jiao Wenjie sighed with a frown on his face. He didn't expect that such a setback would happen to something that was already half a dozen good things.

The human heart is really sinister. Who would have thought that a generous and generous fellow scholar who met by the river would deliberately frame him!

Gao Changjiang gritted his teeth and said, "I'm wondering if this was the work of the other two people?"

Of course Jiao Wenjie understood that the other two people Brother Gao was talking about were the two competitors, Wang Fengyuan and He Liangjun.

Both of them were authentic disciples of Bachelor Qin in name. He Liangjun had been a disciple of the Qin Mansion and was famous for his annotations of Bachelor Qin's poems. Wang Fengyuan was a stepping stone for Bachelor Qin in his early years, and he did not hesitate to break up with Teacher Gu for the sake of Bachelor Qin.

Therefore, the "Qin content" in these two people is very high, no worse than Gao Changjiang.

But Jiao Wenjie still couldn't believe that these two people would do something to frame him. After all, it was still a "gentleman's dispute" and there was no quarrel.

There are many quarrels among the literati, and everyone knows the rules of the world. We can't be so bottom-lined when we are in Nanjing.

"It's hard to say! People are unpredictable. Who knows what others think?" Gao Changjiang did not dare to be careless now.

But thinking of the current situation, Gao Changjiang couldn't help but feel worried and sighed: "I heard that Gu Dongqiao is returning to Nanjing with the power of governor. It can be said that we are facing a formidable enemy! But our New Jinling Sect is still fighting among ourselves.

!This is really a internal and external trouble, and a storm is coming!
