After Zeng Wei returned to Zeng's mansion peacefully, Mrs. Wei, who was shocked, made soft mutton soup cakes and a bowl of fried ginger juice. She watched her son eat and drink, and then watched him fall asleep in the brocade quilt.

In the main courtyard and in Zeng Bu's study, Zeng Ti was restoring the process of finding his younger brother from his father.

"So, the Imperial College's ward supervisor only knew that Silang went to Dongshuimen to save his relatives in the middle of the night?"

"Yes, when I found Silang, he and the Yao brothers were indeed evading water on the tree, and they were very embarrassed. Fortunately, Chen Ersan was a clever wife. She first called me for help. Fortunately, this woman and her husband, Cai Xuezheng, from the Imperial Academy, were there too. In this way, there were many people and elders, who gathered to avoid danger. Silang was indeed not very eye-catching. Both imperial guards were dull and rough men, and they were not very particular about the strangeness, and his son had already taken care of them."

Zeng Bu sighed and looked at the eldest son in front of him who had a slightly frosted temple.

From the night to the present, Zeng Ti looked tired, but the feeling of feeling relieved to bring her younger brother home safely and still breathing a sigh of relief and answering her father's questions carefully and respectfully, in an instant, Zeng Bu's heart seemed to be pulled.

This eldest son was in his prime, and he was just regarded as a betrayer by the New Party because of his opposition to the "Current Change Law", and was also taken away by Emperor Shenzong as a victim of political transactions.

In his twentieth year, it should be the most critical time for the son of a powerful minister, and it is a very important starting point for some writing, but Zeng Ti was delayed by his father at that time.

Zeng Ti's marriage was also delayed by his father.

Zeng Bu asked his son to marry Wang Anshi's niece, and he himself knew that such a marriage was more for the benefit of his father and to consolidate the nepotism between his father and Wang Anshi.

Unexpectedly, because he became the pawn of Emperor Shenzong, Zeng Bu and Wang Anshi also had an insurmountable crack in his relationship with Wang Anshi, and Wang Ao Xianggong finally lost power.

When Zhao Xu, the current official family, was in charge of the Privy Council, when Zeng Bu finally took charge of the Privy Council, in order to eliminate the suspicion of the official family, he deliberately went against the rules with Zhang Dun, Cai Jing and others, and did not ask for a job for the Zeng family.

After being wasted for twenty years, the eldest son Zeng Ti seemed to find it difficult to have a great future in his career.

But he is still a filial, obedient, efficient and excellent emotional management eldest son.

Even though his wife and concubine were not in harmony, and even if his only son had entered a state of madness, Zeng Ti was still conscientiously playing the role of the Zeng family manager and the executor requested by his father.

Zeng Bu did not tell Zeng Ti about the incense that Zhang Shangyi revealed. People's hearts are subtle, and Zeng Bu always has a secret worry. I am afraid that Zeng Ti will have complex feelings for his younger brother who has the advantage of age and style.

But now it’s all right, what else can I hide? The only one who can discuss things around me is this eldest son.

"Your brother, you have undoubtedly been thinking about the Yao family."

When Zeng Ti heard this, he first responded to silence.

I really can't hear the resentment of my father's words. But my father has experienced this. When Ke'er was found raising a male actor outside, his father was not furious.

Zeng Ti thought about it for a moment, but decided to honestly express his true opinions.

He did feel a little jealous of Zeng Wei because Ke'er was closer to his uncle. But for some reason, when he saw his younger brother and Yao holding the tree trunk to avoid the flood, although he was in a mess, his expression was peaceful, Zeng Ti suddenly felt a little happy.

Zeng Ti thought to himself, maybe she remembered the joy of meeting Yunniang at the gate of the Censorate.

Ordinary people, with a heart made of flesh, know the beauty of mutual affection, how can they hate others and laugh at others?

What's more, that man was still the younger brother of a mother.

"Father," Zeng Ti said frankly, "Last night, when Silang learned that the Bian River broke its dam and Silang was in the south of the city, did his father just think that if Silang could go home safely, everything would be fine?"

Zeng Bu's eyes flashed with kindness.

"Dalang, you are a kind person."

"My son is ashamed," Zeng Ti said, "When Yao came to my house that day, Ke'er was sick and almost killed her life, her son thought that she might as well be hit and killed in the Bian River..."

"Dalang," Zeng Bu interrupted him, "It's different. Yao has no bloodline with you. Whether you are close to her or alienated, good or evil, it varies depending on the situation. It's understandable. But Ke'er and Silang, one are your own son and the other are your younger brother. If you take action and speak to protect them, the foundation of human relations is the foundation of human relations. Compared with a son who only follows blood and ethics, I would rather choose the latter."

Zeng Ti felt relieved.

Not only because he gave the answer "correctly", but also because, it sounds like my father was just talking about a person in charge of the Privy Council, and he did not have any emotional fluctuations.

"Father, my son is brave enough to make a fuss. Don't force Silang to ask him for a while. If he really falls in love with that woman, my family will still have a way to make a fuss about Yao's identity and make a mistake. It may not be difficult to marry a concubine."

Zeng Bu nodded: "Silang's room is a man. As long as he is not a legitimate wife, you and your mother will discuss the arrangement for him. But this is a matter of the future. What you need to think about now is not this matter."

Zeng Ti has served his father for many years and has known his father's habit of speaking well.

"Father, the disaster in the capital was reported to the Privy Council, which was under the charge of his father. Before the official rule, the Kaifeng Prefecture Department had already raised the Criminal Prison Department to manage the dredging of the river channel of the capital and related water affairs. However, once the official ruled, the yamen that Empress Dowager Xuanren used quite skillfully when he was in charge of the court was abolished by Zhang Dun."

Zeng Bu remained silent: "Continue to talk."

"Now the one who governs the capital's water administration is the Du Water Superintendent. My son went out to look for Silang today. He heard wailings along the way. Some scolded the officials of Du Water Superintendent for not working because of pay, some scolded the Transportation Office for clearly being in charge of this matter, and some also knew that the country was a secret, saying that this disaster was caused by the forced redirection of the Yellow River and the lead of Huang into Bian. In all these things, the people in the market would not dare to scold that person directly, but the words and pens of the Censorate and the Censorate should have had a chance."

Zeng Bu's lips slightly said: "You have left the censors for a long time. As expected, you are not good at the current affairs. Mr. Zhang is so powerful. Now I am afraid that the crows in the Censorate will sing a few hymns for him, let alone impeach him because of the flood?"

Zeng Ti's words and expression were three more humble: "What my father said is very true, but don't forget that there are two people who may be used."

"who?"

"One is Su Xi, his father Su Shi and his uncle Su Zhe were both expelled because they wrote a letter to oppose Zhang Dun's return to Hedongliu and lead Huang into Bian."

"Where is the second one?"
