Fourth Master Xue was squinting his eyes at the moment, lying on the rocking chair in the courtyard, pondering something. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a few moments, he straightened up, his eyes flashing with a glint as if he had made up his mind.

I saw a woman wearing a rose-red skirt coming out of the back room with a tea set, the woman was not stunning, but she was very attractive, with a smile on her face that made people feel like a spring breeze, which was very moving.

"Sir, have a cup of tea. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xue Wenli, whose fingers seemed to inadvertently run across his sleeve.

Xue Wenli hooked the corners of his mouth, took it, and shook the woman's hand, but his eyes were very clear.

The woman smiled and was about to say something in a coquettish voice, but she heard a voice sounding coldly behind her: "Xue Wenli!"

Xue Wenli was taken aback, and after seeing the person who came clearly, his face immediately changed to a respectful expression, and he hurriedly stood up and bowed to Xue Wenfu: "Second brother." ”

Aunt An was suddenly interrupted by someone, and she was a little annoyed, but when she saw the visitor, she immediately changed her face and was dumbfounded: "Second ...... Second master. ”

Xue Wenli hurriedly glanced at her, and she came to her senses and hurriedly carried her things into the back room.

"Why did the second brother come so suddenly?" Xue Wenli stepped forward, his face not a little flustered, and grinned.

Xue Wenfu looked at him coldly.

He was already beginning to wonder if the always respectful cousin in front of him was really what he was on the face.

Let's not talk about whether he really colluded with Huang Zheng and them, he went straight to the main room of the fourth room to look for him, but he was not there, he stayed in the courtyard of the concubine in the blue sky and daylight, like something!

He originally thought that the rumors of this cousin's spoiled concubine and killed his wife were untrue. After all, Xue Wenli is in the Ministry of Industry, and he has always been honest in doing things in front of him, and he doesn't dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, how could he do such a stupid thing?

It's probably just that the husband and wife live together, some get along, some don't, and their minds are a little biased, but according to Xue Wenli's rule-abiding temperament, how can he give his wife a little dignity......

But when he looked at it today, he didn't dare to pack the ticket. Thinking of his fourth brother-in-law, Zhou, who was sitting on the kang with a pale face and refusing to say where Xue Wenli was, and the concubine An Shi was full of red light and changing his tricks, he became angry.

When did they have such a humiliating thing happen to their Xue family? Concubines are not like concubines, and wives are not like wives, they don't look the same.

Xue Wenli's heart sank, this brother seemed to be really angry, was it for the sake of Fang Cai, or was it ......

His eyebrows lowered: "Wenli is stupid, I don't know what I did wrong, and I asked the second brother to make it clear." ”

Xue Wen laughed angrily and sat down: "Tell me, what kind of friendship do you have with that Inspector Zuo, Yushi Huang Zheng?"

"Why did the second brother say this? I have never dealt with that person. Naturally, he tried his best to clear it up, and he already had a consideration in his heart: he knew that the group of people was unreliable, but it didn't matter, and his hope was not them.

Xue Wenfu stared at him and smiled: "Then you should tell me, as the head of the Ministry of Engineering, how did you control the poor materials used to build the dam?"

"What did the second brother say, why didn't I understand it?" Xue Wenli raised his head, looking confused.

Xue Wenfu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, but he still said with a calm face: "I don't know? By the way, today is not a day off, why did you stay at home and not go to the Ministry of Industry to work?"

He was also angry, and subconsciously came to Jinshuimen to look for him, but he didn't think that he shouldn't be at home at this time.

Xue Wenli hurriedly said: "Today is the same as Shangfeng's leave, it turns out that at this time of year, I will have a cough disease, and I feel uncomfortable." Just now, An's also served a special ginger tea, saying that it is very effective for this cough. ”

Seeing that Xue Wenfu pursed his lips and didn't speak, he said, "If the second brother doesn't believe it, you can go and see if the teapot is filled with ginger tea." ”

Xue Wenfu glanced at the half-hidden inner room and sighed: "That's it, there's nothing to see." So, you haven't been working much these days?"

Xue Wenli nodded first, and then shook his head a little embarrassedly: "It's not all, it's just that there are a few days that are extremely serious, and I can only stay at home......

"From this morning, half of the dam under construction in Hanyang Mansion collapsed due to ground movement, but this ground movement did not even hurt ......a few livestock raised by the people," Xue Wenfu stopped trying to understand when he saw this, and spoke straight to the point.

Seeing the frightened look on Xue Wenli's face, he couldn't help but shake a little more in his heart, and said, "...... When I went to the palace to face the saint, Lord Huang Zheng mentioned you in private, so I came to ask you what was going on. Have you been involved in this matter?" When he said the last sentence, his eyes were already very cold.

Xue Wenli breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He has followed this brother for many years, and he is very familiar with his temperament, so he has no doubts about him when he talks to himself like this......

So he hurriedly made his attitude clear and swore an oath: "Second brother, this is absolutely nothing." That Huang Zheng must be to split the feelings of our Xue family brothers, among the brothers, you know me best. I would never do such a thing that ignores my conscience. ”

Xue Wenfu was silent. In fact, among these brothers, he put the most thought into Xue Wenli, recommended him to enter the Ministry of Engineering, and taught him everything that was useful......

In fact, such a move back then, on the one hand, was to promote the people of the Xue family, and on the other hand, it was also to pass him on to the father and third brother of the big house in one go......

It's just that he didn't expect that the three of them had never bothered with him, and the third brother had always admired him as he did at the beginning......

I think he has too little energy.

I heard Xue Wenli say again: "These days, because my body is not very relaxed, the affairs of Hanyang have always been watched by another principal surnamed Zuo, and I really don't know much." It's a big event that happened today, if it weren't for the second brother coming, I would still be recuperating leisurely like a deaf person...... Now I can't, so I'll go back to the Ministry of Engineering and see if there is anything I can do to help. ”

Xue Wen came back to his senses, his face had regained his calmness, he waved his hand, and said, "No need." I'll look into this matter myself. Since you have nothing to do with this matter, you can rest assured that you are recuperating at home. ”

"By the way, when did you have this cough? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Xue Wenli scratched his head a little embarrassedly, with an honest look: "...... It started three years ago. A few years ago, I could still hold on, but now I think about it, my body bones are not as good as before, but I can't hold it anymore......"

Xue Wenfu patted him on the shoulder and nodded, with some guilt in his eyes: "It's my negligence as a brother." You don't have to worry, if Huang Zheng dares to wronged you, I will definitely make him walk around without eating!"

Xue Wenli nodded, and he turned around and left.
