The repair project of Tongren Pavilion will eventually have results. Chu Huan took several officials from Duzhi Cao to inspect Tongren Pavilion in person. Under the strange eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel, he forced to record all the areas that needed repairs.

The Ministry of Works is responsible for repairs, but how to repair them must be done according to the wishes of the Ministry of Rites. Duan Zhenghong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, was responsible for this matter. Hearing that Chu Huan brought people to conduct on-site inspections, he rushed to the scene immediately. When he arrived at Tongren Hall, Chu Huan had finished the inspection and was about to leave, but Zheng Hong blocked the way and said angrily: "Chu Huan, do you want to resist the order?"

As soon as he came over, he charged Chu Huan with a very hostile attitude.

Although Chu Huan was just the chief officer, he was not afraid of Zheng Hong, the minister, and said calmly: "The emperor cannot understand the words of Lord Zheng!"

"The emperor issued an order to overhaul the Tongren Pavilion. The construction period is very short. However, as far as I know, you are stuck in the Ministry of Revenue, and the repair cost has not yet arrived. Wouldn't you resist the order?" Zheng Hong naturally knew what Chu Huan did in the Ministry of Revenue and sneered: "The construction period has been delayed and the construction cannot be completed on time. Can your small director of the Ministry of Revenue be punished?"

Chu Huan frowned and said lightly: "Didn't you see that the lord is here today. Isn't it just to handle this matter?"

Zheng Hong raised his hand and pointed at Chu Huan, "I have heard that Duzhi Cao has calculated the expenses. The money has been approved, but you have repeatedly delayed this matter for your own selfish interests and to punish Dou Yi." He snorted coldly, "Chu Huan, I advise you that young people should not be too arrogant, it will not do you any good."

There was a hidden threat in his voice.

Chu Huan said coldly, "Don't you call a young man if you are not angry?" He raised his hand, opened the fingers pointing to his nose, and said lightly, "Mr. Zheng, you don't have to worry. The Ministry of Revenue controls the money. Every purpose of the money is carefully calculated by Duzhi Cao, but it is not as much as others say." He ignored Zheng Hong, turned around and walked, took a few steps, suddenly thought of something, turned around and said lightly, "By the way, Lord Zheng, you are taking the liberty, I have something to say, please consider!"

Chu Huan, the chief official, had no humility in front of Zheng Hong, and even opened Zheng Hong's fingers in front of everyone. The officials from all over the world were extremely surprised when they saw it. Many people felt that either Chu Huan had no idea about the rules when he first entered the officialdom, or he was really impatient to live.

Zheng Hong obviously didn't expect Chu Huan to be so bold, his face turned blue, and he sneered: "What do you want to say?"

"Auntie is also a minister and an important minister of the court." Chu Huan said slowly: "Signing with your fingers is what the rogues on the street do. The officials dare to fight, and ask the adults to get rid of this problem!"

"You...!" Zheng Hong held his breath in his chest and almost fainted.

The officials next to him were also shocked, and they looked at Chu Huan like a monster. Even several officials from Chu Huan's subordinates also changed their color in shock.

According to common sense, Chu Huan, a newly promoted official who is in the capital, should make good connections, please and please and please and please and increase connections to himself. Even if he is not like this, he will never offend high officials so much and offend them in public.

Many people think that Chu Huan is a kid, and there are no such officials in the capital.

"Okay..." Zheng Hong took a breath and laughed angrily: "Who is surnamed Chu, you are a villain, don't worry, the money is not approved in time, the Tongren Pavilion cannot be completed on time, and then I will see how many heads you have enough to cut."

Chu Huan smiled indifferently, without any rushing and impatience: "Mr. Zheng, the lower officials do not say anything round the bush. I will carefully calculate the cost of Tongren Pavilion. Before it is calculated, you can't get a penny of copper coins. However, my subordinates will not do too badly, and there will be a result in the past two days...!" He approached and was very close to Zheng Hong, and said softly: "If Lord Zheng thinks that he deliberately delays the construction period and then pushes the responsibility to Xiaguan, the lower officials will never argue. But then, Xiaguan is responsible for the small chief of the subordinate officials, and he will certainly bear the responsibility, and Lord Zheng is responsible for receiving the Xiliang mission. If the Tongren Pavilion has not been repaired before the Xiliang mission arrives, I am afraid that the trouble will be greater."

Zheng Hong's eyes were like a knife. He had been in the officialdom for many years and had never seen such a person. This person did not play according to the rules at all.

There is naturally no shortage of open and secret struggles in the officialdom, but even if they fight to the death, they are silent on the surface, and even show a very harmonious appearance. Hiding a knife in their smile is the most common means of communication in the officialdom. However, this young official spoke so straightforwardly, which made Zheng Hong unable to come back to his senses for a while.

When he came to his senses, Chu Huan had already left with his subordinates.

...

...

After all, there were capable people in Duzhi Cao. It was strange that Chu Huan conducted an assessment of the fan hall and recalculated the repair costs with Duzhi Cao's people, but the Minister of Revenue remained silent.

Until all the accounting fees were calculated, Hu Bufan never asked about this matter.

On the contrary, Lang Wuxu became enthusiastic in the past two days. Chu Huan had just entered the Ministry of Revenue, and Lang Wuxu's attitude towards Chu Huan was obviously full of deep hostility. However, in the past two days, Lang Wuxu became much more kind. He found Chu Huan twice, and only said that if there were any difficulties in Duzhi Cao, he could find him to solve them. He was very intimate with Chu Huan.

If Lang Wuxu was cold-eyed, Chu Huan could adapt. Now his kindness and intimacy made Chu Huan feel that something was wrong.

When Chu Huan saw this person, the first time he saw that he felt that he was full of colorful things and had many ideas in his mind. Be careful. When suddenly changing his attitude, Chu Huan became even more careful, fearing that this person was setting a trap for him.

According to the expenses calculated by Duzhi Cao, Tongren Pavilion needs to be renovated, and even does not cost 100,000 taels of silver. According to the example, the project cost will be added 20% in terms of the accounting cost, which is used as an unexpected expense. Therefore, the final cost of Tongren Pavilion is within 120,000 taels of silver, which is already calculated according to the highest standards.

Chu Huan found Hu Bufan with the calculated results. He thought Hu Bufan would definitely be in a dilemma. Who knew that Hu Bufan was very happy this time. Not only did he not make any difficulties, he scolded Dou Yi in front of Chu Huan, scolding Dou Yi for being fine and negligent. Chu Huan heard it in his ears, but he felt funny in his heart. If he was careless and could have three times the gap, Dou Yi would be extremely confused and should have been at the throne for a long time.

He also understood that because he still had the official letter in his hand, Hu Bufan was obviously unwilling to have more trouble with this matter. After all, the Ministry of Revenue has to pull out tens of millions of dollars every year. If something happened because of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, it would obviously be more than worth the loss.

Hu Bufan took a step back in the matter of Tongren Pavilion, but because of this matter, Hu Bufan will definitely stare at him in other matters in the future. If he is careless, Hu Bufan will definitely kill him if he is caught by Hu Bufan.

After stamping the seal, for Chu Huan, the matter at Tongren Pavilion ended here, and the subsequent things had nothing to do with him.

However, he knew in his heart that after this, he must have become famous, but obviously it is not a good reputation, at least he has formed many enemies.

As soon as this matter was over, the repair of Yan's house had been completed. On that day, Wang Fu took the Wujingwei of the Ximen Bureau to send the hundred pieces of silk given by the emperor to Yan's house. However, Chu Huan was particular about it. There were 38 people in the Ximen Bureau from top to bottom. Chu Huan asked Wang Fu to leave 38 pieces of silk, each of which was one piece. One piece of silk was worth a lot of silver, and everyone was happy.

Sun Long stole Chu Huan's official letter. He had been restless for the past two days and was really scared. After a few days, he didn't dare to approach Chu Huan, let alone drink and chat.

Chu Huan seemed to be fine. Sun Long didn't go to find him, and he didn't go to find Sun Long, as it was so calm.

The plaque at the entrance of Yan's house has been changed, and the brand new plaque is written with the word "Chu House". Last night I came here at night, but I couldn't see the house clearly. Today I came here, the sun was shining. In addition, after several days of renovation, the house was completely renewed. It is considered to have carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and corners, and there are rockery, pools, bamboos and pine trees in the house, which is very noble.

But Chu Huan soon discovered a problem. There seemed to be everything in the house, but there was no one. In the huge mansion, he seemed to be the only one living here.

At this time, he thought about his family and was thinking about whether he should approach the capital at this time. He was quite hesitant about this matter. First of all, he was considering whether Chu Li's body could withstand long-distance bumps. More importantly, Chu Huan was still considering his current situation. He could not have a stable foothold in the capital now. Moreover, for some reason, he even offended many people and formed many enemies. It seemed that it was not a good thing to take them over at this time.

After moving, Chu Huan took the money and asked someone to buy a wine market. Everyone in Ximen Bureau used dinner in their new house, but they didn't dare to disturb them too much and left early.

As soon as the person left, the entire mansion became completely quiet, and it was as quiet as death. Chu Huan was very brave, so he was not afraid of living alone. However, it was late at night and there was a quiet feeling of loneliness coming to his heart.

Thinking of his family far away in Yunshan, Chu Huan found paper and pen and wrote a letter, which was a letter to Linlang. He had no place to live before and was not easy to read letters. Now he has settled down, so this letter is naturally indispensable.

Lying on the bed, he didn't close his eyes for a moment, but suddenly remembered Pei Jilai. If Pei Ji was still in the capital, he would be able to stay here and stay here, and he would no longer be lonely. Moreover, he would be able to learn a lot when he was with Pei Ji day and night. Unfortunately, Pei Ji took Qin Lei to the northwest. He was still on the road now, so he didn't know what the situation was.

Suddenly, Mrs. Liuli, whom she met two days ago, was very curious about Mrs. Liuli's identity. Until now, she didn't know which noble lady Mrs. Liuli was the family member. I think her husband must be not an ordinary person. Such a national character is not worthy of ordinary people.

After thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze without realizing it.

The next day, I had to go to the yamen as usual. It was strange that it was almost May. When I woke up early this morning, it was actually foggy. Although it was not very thick, it was rare to see fog during such a season.

But then again, don’t talk about fog, even if it’s windy and rainy, you have to go to the yamen even if it’s time to go.

After cleaning up, he was about to go out to find a stall for breakfast and went to the yamen. As soon as he opened the door, a carriage happened to stop outside the door. Chu Huan was curious, and one person had already gotten out of the carriage. In the fog, Chu Huan saw at a glance that the person was an old acquaintance Sun Desheng. However, Sun Desheng was dressed very special today, wearing a brocade dress and even with a fake beard, looking like a merchant. If Chu Huan hadn't been very familiar with him, he wouldn't have recognized him at first glance.

When Sun Desheng saw Chu Huan, he smiled and said, "Congratulations to Lord Chu, Lord Chu is promoted to the house. I have not yet been able to express my gratitude to Lord Chu!"

Chu Huan didn't know why Sun Desheng dressed up like this, and he called himself "me", but he knew that Sun Desheng had come over, and must have been sent by King Yingren of Qi. He smiled and bowed, "Mr. Sun..." Before he finished speaking, Sun Desheng had already raised his hand, waved his hands repeatedly, looked back nervously, looked at the carriage, and lowered his voice: "Master Chu, just call me Sun Desheng, don't reveal our identity!"

Chu Huan was very confused. He glanced at the carriage and thought to himself: "What the hell is Sun Desheng doing? Could it be that there is still a secret hidden in the carriage?"

"Sun...Mr. Sun, what's going on?" Chu Huan asked in a low voice.

Sun Desheng chuckled and said, "Mr. Chu, you are moving to your new home. Your Highness cannot come out for the time being, and you cannot congratulate you in person, but...!" His eyes turned and said, "But Your Highness has prepared a gift for you!"

"Gift?" Chu Huan was even more curious.

Sun Desheng coughed, clapped his hands, and said in a deep voice: "Come down, we're here!"

Soon, I saw the curtain of the carriage lifting open, and a graceful figure emerged from the carriage. I was wearing ordinary coarse floral clothes and a floral headscarf on my head. At first glance, I looked like an ordinary country girl.

The woman got out of the carriage, looked up and looked at the mansion first, with a blank look on her face. Then she looked at Chu Huan's face, paused, stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of surprise.

Chu Huan was also wondering, staring at the woman's face, looking at her very familiar face, frowned slightly, and thought of something in an instant, showing a look of surprise, almost blurting out a word, but Sun Desheng had already winked. Chu Huan reacted and remained calm, but the surprised look in his eyes was hard to hide.

He never expected that what came out of the carriage would suddenly be Mo Lingshuang, who was almost forgotten by him.

He remembered that when he was in Yunshan, Mo Lingshuang seized the courtesan. The King of Qi wanted to redeem her, but could not make up the money. In desperation, Chu Huan set up a plan and snatched Mo Lingshuang out of the hands of the madam Cuiyulou. After that, Sun Desheng arranged everything secretly. Chu Huan never saw Mo Lingshuang again since then.

How could he have thought that Mo Lingshuang, who was almost forgotten by him, would appear in front of him today.

Sun Desheng whispered loudly: "Mr. Chu, this is Miss Shuang'er. You have moved to your new home and you have nothing to do. Miss Shuang'er is smart and well-behaved. Just treat it as a gift I give you. Stay by your side and be a maid and serve you well!"

After saying this, he immediately pulled Chu Huan's arm into the door, turned around and waved to Mo Lingshuang. Mo Lingshuang hesitated for a moment and finally followed him in. After Sun Desheng waited for Mo Lingshuang to enter, he immediately closed the door, as if he was afraid of a ghost behind him.

"Don't talk first, come into the house!" Sun Desheng said hurriedly. When Chu Huan saw Mo Lingshuang appear here, he knew that things were unusual, so he led the two into the main hall. Then he bowed to Mo Lingshuang and said, "Miss Lingshuang, has it always been good?"

Although Mo Lingshuang was wearing simple clothes, her slim figure could not be concealed by her slim figure. Compared to the last time she met, Lingshuang seemed to be a little thinner, and she was still pitiful, charming, and as beautiful as a lotus.

Mo Lingshuang entered the house, without saying a word, took two steps forward, knelt in front of Chu Huan, tears rolling down, and said in a trembling voice: "Lingshuang thanked Mr. Chu for his kindness to save his life. Mr. Chu has no choice but to repay Ling Shuang in this life. I only hope to stay by my side and be a cow or a horse to repay Mr. Chu's great life-saving kindness!"

Chu Huan was anxious and didn't care about the trouble between men and women. He hurriedly stepped forward and helped Mo Lingshuang up and said repeatedly: "Get up quickly, get up quickly, what are you doing."

Mo Lingshuang was helped up, and crystal tears still rolled down her cheeks. Chu Huan was most disgusted by the woman crying. She took out a handkerchief from her arms and handed it to Mo Lingshuang. She said warmly: "Miss Lingshuang, wipe the tears first, say what you have to say, this is my mansion, there will be no problem." She looked at Sun Desheng and frowned slightly, not knowing what this guy brought Mo Lingshuang to him for.
