Chanyi brought hot tea up, and it happened that some chestnut cakes were made in the big kitchen today, and they were placed in sweet white porcelain plates one by one, which looked very delicious.

Xia Mingche took a sip of tea and instructed: "Don't make a noise about this matter, after all, in addition to the most intense war in the northwest this year, the flood in the southeast has made the emperor feel bad, and the dredging of the river is in charge of Zhang Ruiqing. ”

Jian Anli nodded.

"And yesterday's incident, thanks to you, otherwise my sister would have been murdered."

Jian Anli looked up at Chan Yi who was sitting on the side eating chestnut cakes, the girl didn't seem to be frightened at all, and she could sit here and listen to them talk like this, and even eat snacks as if nothing happened, this state of mind was really rare, he smiled lightly.

"It happened to happen, but it's a pity that the man's kung fu was good yesterday, so he ran away in advance, otherwise it would be good to interrogate and interrogate who shot behind the back, if it was really for Miss Xia, I'm afraid that there will be a next time if it doesn't work this time."

Chanyi naturally knows this in her heart, she already has an idea, if they don't look for her in a few days, she will go to them!

Xia Mingche said with a straight face: "I called you here today, it is also for this matter, you have been traveling outside all these years, but if you have any familiar dart games or martial arts, we plan to invite a few guards at home, if you can know some details, it is the best, and it doesn't matter which state." ”

Jian Anli thought for a moment and said: "I have to think about this carefully, there are many dart games and martial arts, but there are few suitable ......ones."

Xia Mingche said: "Don't worry, if there is no suitable candidate on your side, I will ask Shen Boyan again, he has also been in the Five Cities Terracotta Division for a few years, and he is clear about the big and small forces in Yunfu City, so he should have some manpower in the future," as he spoke, his voice paused slightly, and he looked at Jian Anli, "...... Now that Gu Yi is recuperating in Zhaoyang Palace, the fourth prince, have you noticed any different movements? ”

Jian Anli is not sensitive to political affairs, and when she heard this, she thought about it carefully, and said: "Except for the first day when I moved Gu Yi and saw the four princes, I don't see the four princes much on weekdays, and the most I see is the lady concubine." ”

Xia Mingche frowned, "There are some things, Zi'an may not be very clear, this flood in the southeast, the emperor intends to experience the four princes......"

What he meant in his words meant that the emperor was going to send the four princes to the southeast to deal with the floods together?

Chanyi's heart tightened, and he was slowly running according to the track of the previous life, but Chu Shaoyuan didn't hear of such a thing as missing in the previous life, or did he say that he had disappeared, but he didn't know? She couldn't help but think.

Jian Anli said: "In this way, I have heard Concubine Shuniang talk about making some thick-soled boots for the four princes once or twice, and also said that there are no familiar officials in the southeast, I don't know what will happen to this time, I was focused on Gu Shizi's wounds at that time, so I didn't pay attention to what they talked about." ”

Chanyi couldn't help but hold her forehead, Jian Anli's cold temperament, I don't know how to get along with Yin Chaoyang, and there are no rumors that Yin Chaoyang doesn't like him until now, it's really not easy.

Xia Mingche heard what he said and immediately confronted some of the things in the court that he heard at his grandfather's house, Chu Shaoyuan's disappearance benefited the most from the four princes, and at this time the four princes began to move again, I was afraid that there would be some changes in the court, and my grandfather's body was not very healthy in the past few years, and when I went to my grandfather's house today, my grandfather's expression looked a little tired, maybe my grandfather would be a master in the past few years, and it was still a question of whether the third uncle could enter the cabinet smoothly, and the Xie family could not be mixed with the heirs. But the Xia family has already stepped in, if Chu Shaoyuan does not appear for a long time, when the prince comes back, the Xia family will become a target, and there will be no way to turn it over if he has great ability, so he can only watch the direction of the government at this time, and choose to give the four princes some favors, so as to protect the Xia family.

Thinking like this, he pondered: "If the matter is serious, I estimate that after the Spring Festival, the four princes will be sent to the southeast by the emperor, and our family is now roasted on the fire, and if you are not careful, I am afraid that it will ...... in the future."

Xia Mingche shook his head, sighed, and stopped talking, looking taboo.

Jian Anli couldn't help but be stunned, what will happen in the future? Just look at the continuous accidents in the Xia Mansion in the recent past, he sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that since he entered the palace every day, he would help him pay attention, and it was not good to watch the people he saved with his own hands repeatedly have accidents.

"Since the emperor has this plan, then I think I have to make all the preparations," Jian Anli comforted him, "I will change Gu Yi's medicine in the palace these days, if there is anything I know the fastest, don't worry about it, but if there is a letter, I will come over to inform you soon." ”

Xia Mingche also meant this, so he asked him to come to the house yesterday, and when he saw that he should come down, he hurriedly thanked him a few times.

The two laughed and chatted for a while, Jian Anli was worried about the injuries suffered by the two little guys yesterday, so he went to take a look before leaving, and said a few words of gentle advice, and then came out of the Xia Mansion.

Two days later, Shen Shuofeng came as promised, and the porter had already been instructed to lead the people to the Hidden Autumn Courtyard.

Shen Shuofeng is still the first time to walk in the Xia Mansion openly, when passing by the Wind Listening Corridor, he deliberately secretly glanced at the rain shelter, the small house is independent next to the Wind Listening Corridor, it is a good place to shelter from the rain, the Xia Mansion looks small from the outside, and when you enter it, you will find that there is another Qiankun, even a brick and a tile look very elegant, no wonder he was dizzy when he came in in a panic at that time.

Fortunately, he met the soft-hearted little girl, otherwise he was afraid that he would be more than lucky, he smiled and shook his head in his heart, but he didn't show any on his face, and followed the little girl into the Hidden Autumn Courtyard quickly.

Xia Mingche was reading the book he borrowed from Guozijian, and when he heard Ji Yue say that Shen Shuofeng was coming, he put the book on the desk and went to the outhouse.

I saw that Shen Shuofeng was dressed in a navy blue short fight, with a capable appearance, but he had completely removed the sense of secrecy on his body before, although his figure was not like that of a martial artist with five big and three thick, but it was also a majestic physique, which made people dare not underestimate him.

This was the second time he had seen Shen Shuofeng, the previous time this person did not leave a very good impression on him, but this time it looked much more pleasing to the eye, he thought of some rumors about Mingyan Tower that he heard from Shen Boyan yesterday, and couldn't help frowning.

Mingyan Tower, the most secret evil assassination organization on the rivers and lakes, no one knows how many of them there are, where the helm is, only know that once they make a move, no one will survive alive, and this is not the biggest feature of Mingyan Tower, it is said that there is a team of assassins in Mingyan Tower who specialize in intelligence, and can dig out people's ancestors, but Shen Boyan said that this is all rumors, and it is unknown whether it is true or not.

Xia Mingche waved his hand and let the subordinates out of the house, and then spoke: "I heard my sister say that you are reckless, since my sister hired you, then you can no longer be like before, you also know that there are rules in the palace in an official eunuch like us, so let's do it, you stay with me first, and then assign you an errand when you are familiar with the situation in the house." ”

Shen Shuofeng has killed countless people, his eyes are very sharp, and the young man in front of him obviously has some scruples about him to make such a decision, and he does not debunk it, he always uses people's money to eliminate disasters for others.

He nodded, indicating that he had no opinion.

Xia Mingche said again: "There is also the money promised to you before, and I will let my sister settle it for you after the spring." ”

After the spring, he went to Quanzhou to arrange the things on the river work, and at that time the first section of the river should be dredged, and the silver money should be down.

Shen Shuofeng is not so anxious about the matter of the silver, after all, the Xia family is the home of the eunuch, it is impossible to lose half a point to him, he has been thinking about how to take care of the affairs in the building before he came, and now seeing Xia Mingche settle himself like this, so he will not have so much time to take care of the affairs in the building, and it seems that he will have to discuss with the people in the building when he goes back.

At this time, Xia Mingche mentioned Shen Shuofeng, and asked him to go back and pack up and come to the house tomorrow.

In Chanyi's Lanxin Courtyard, there was a second-class maid standing in the room talking.

Chanyi asked, "How long have you been in the mansion?" At Mother Zhang's place, have you learned all the rules in the house? ”

The maid said respectfully: "Back to Miss's words, the slave maid has been in the house for more than half a month, Mother Zhang taught the slave maid what the slave maid should learn to the slave maid, the slave maid knows that the tea in the young lady's house should be heated every three quarters of an hour, the charcoal brazier should be placed in the ventilated hall, the clothes worn by the young lady should be incense in the morning and evening, and the young lady should wait for the young lady to rinse her mouth and brush her teeth first, and then drink a bowl of hot goat milk soup......"

Listening to the maid talk about her habits word by word, it is not bad.

After she finished speaking, Chanyi asked again: "Did you use the original name or did Zhang's mother give it to you?" ”

"The slave's name is Ah Yuan, because she is the eldest in the family, so the slave's mother has always called her slave maid," the maid replied without being humble or arrogant: "Mother Zhang said that she couldn't use the name Ah Yuan when she entered the house, and asked the young lady to give a name to the slave." ”

Chanyi nodded, "I really have to change my name, my room is started with brocade characters, it's rare that you are so organized at a young age, it can be seen that you have a lot of thoughts, just call it Jinxin." ”

Jinxin was busy and respectfully Xie Chanyi gave her name.

Chan Yi looked at the maid with straight eyebrows in front of her, and secretly wondered in her heart, how could this maid Chu Shaoyuan give her look weak? Is she really a martial artist who understands martial arts, can you protect her?
