Chapter 802 Missing (3)
Xie Fanghua nodded, cleaned up, changed into a plain dress, and left Haitang Garden.

Shi Hua, Shi Mo, Shi Lan, and Shi Wan followed, while Pin Zhu and Pin Qing stayed in the yard.

Not long after, when he came to Zhilan Court, Xie Mohan was waiting at the door, he also changed into a plain brocade shirt, probably because he drank too much yesterday, his eyebrows and eyes looked not very good, seeing Xie Fanghua coming, to him Laughed before saying anything, and shouted, "Sister!"

Xie Fanghua gave Xie Mohan a dissatisfied look, "Why did my brother drink so much yesterday? I don't know if you are in poor health? Does drinking hurt your health?"

"Yesterday the emperor and all the ministers in the court toasted my uncle. You know that my uncle has not recovered from his poison, so how can you drink more? I can only help my uncle hold back a few drinks." Xie Mohan said helplessly, "It's not too drunk .”

Xie Fanghua could also understand the situation of the half-day banquet yesterday, nodded, stopped talking about Xie Mohan, and asked him, "Where is uncle? Where did you stay?"

"Bi Shui Xuan!" Xie Mohan said, "Grandpa has also moved in. It is said that the father and son talked all night yesterday. Today it is almost dawn before we rest."

Xie Fanghua nodded. Grandpa and uncle and his son haven't seen each other for nearly 20 years. Even if uncle drank a lot yesterday, he still had to talk a lot.

"Come in and have dinner!" Xie Mohan said gently.

Xie Fanghua followed Xie Mohan into the house.

In the painting hall, the servant had already served breakfast, the two ate quietly, and then left Zhilan Garden together.

The two first went to Rongfu Hall to report to Zhongyonghou, Zhongyonghou didn't say anything, just waved his hands, and the two brothers and sisters left Rongfutang.

When they came to the gate of the mansion, the carriage was ready, and the two of them got into the carriage together and headed towards Xie's Rice Grain.

In the car, Xie Fanghua told Xie Mohan about Xie Yunji's disappearance, and Xie Mohan's complexion changed drastically.

Xie Fanghua briefly told him about Yan Chen and Qi Yunxue, and guessed that Qi Yunxue took Xie Yunji away. Since she was Yan Chen's fiancée, she went to find Yan Chen after going to Xie's Rice Grain to express condolences. Chen came to Nanqin, Yan Chen might be able to guess her intentions somewhat.

In any case, both Qi Yanqing and Yu Yunshui are in Xie Yunlan's hands, Qi Yunxue won't do anything to Xie Yunji if he takes Xie Yunji.

Xie Mohan felt a little relieved, nodded, and said to Xie Fanghua, "I'm afraid I will let my grandfather and the uncle of Xie's salt warehouse know about this matter. I will go to my uncle to discuss it after paying my condolences to Mrs. Xie's Rice Grain."

Xie Fanghua nodded, Xie Yunji was raised in Xie's salt warehouse, and now that his identity has been exposed, it is indeed time for him to know.Thinking of her uncle's position arrangement when he returned to Beijing, she asked, "Yesterday, the emperor revealed how to arrange his uncle's official position?"

"Yesterday, the emperor said that he wanted my uncle to join the Ministry of Officials. For so many years, although he has been stationed abroad to guard the border, he has learned marching and fighting, military arts and martial arts. But the emperor still remembers his literary talent in the past. What's more, the emperor wants four The prince is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and a group of officials will be selected for the imperial examination this autumn, and I want my uncle to assist the fourth prince." Xie Mohan said.

Xie Fanghua was surprised, "The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, in charge of the appointment and dismissal, assessment, and promotion of officials. This is the most important place for the court officials. How many people squeezed their heads and wanted to enter the Ministry of Officials. The emperor gave Qin Yu some It's not surprising, but why did you put uncle in the official department?"

Xie Mohan shook his head, "I don't know what the emperor's plan is, I can't see through it."

"What did uncle say?" Xie Fanghua asked.

"Uncle declined, saying that for so many years, the sandstorm in Mobei was severe, he was old, and wanted to resign and go back to farming, think about blessings!" Xie Mohan said.

Xie Fanghua was surprised, she didn't expect her uncle to resign and return home, but after a little thought, she quickly figured it out, now that the Xie family and the imperial power are as thin as a window paper, the emperor is getting exhausted day by day, and uncle finally took his life When she came back, she probably didn't want to be used by the emperor, so she asked, "Has the emperor agreed?"

Xie Mohan shook his head, "It was a speech at the banquet. The emperor didn't nod or shake his head. He just said that he was recuperating in Beijing first, and we'll talk about it later."

"Such ambiguity, I'm afraid there is a plan." Xie Fanghua said, "Turn around and secretly find the people around the emperor to find out what the emperor means. If you can't find out, you can secretly find Eunuch Wu. He has served the emperor for many years, and he can always guess who he is. What kind of meaning."

Xie Mohan nodded, "I think so too!"

The siblings stopped talking.

Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at Xie's Rice Grain Mansion.
