Saying that, Tang Wan'er was talking angrily, but when she saw Minli coming, she had already scolded before she entered the door. Wan'er hurriedly got up and called, "Auntie." ”

Min Li glanced at her, didn't sit down, just looked at her and said, "Before I entered the door, I heard you talking here, what are you talking about?!"

Tang Wan'er saw that she was angry, not at all like the gentle appearance on weekdays, she was slightly surprised, and said in a low voice: "Aunt doesn't know, it was originally because the third uncle was in my house...... I had a quarrel with my father, so I came to tell my little aunt about it, and it was also for everyone's decency. ”

Min Li snorted and said, "It turns out that you have good intentions, just listening to what you just said, I thought you were here to quarrel and fight!"

Tang Wan'er blushed: "Why did my aunt say this? I am also quick to talk for a while, but in the end, it is for the good of the Tang family." How could my aunt not know? How could my aunt not know how harmonious the third uncle was with everyone in the clan before, where did he blush once? Could it be that my aunt felt that she should not mention it when this was the case?"

Min Li sat next to Huai Zhen at this time, and said: "I haven't heard of this matter, even if you say it today, I don't want to pay attention to it, just because I know that my brother is acting outside, naturally he has a lot of rules, he is afraid that every word and deed, I am afraid that there is a necessity to do it, we are in the back house, what do we know? What can we influence him? I am afraid that it will be clever and ruin the affairs of their man's family." ”

Tang Wan'er opened her mouth, but she was blocked by her words, but she couldn't speak.

Min Li said again: "I have this self-knowledge, and I still know how to advance and retreat so well, Wan'er, you are a little girl, what do you know? Why do you insist on interfering with anything? What's more, since your third uncle didn't talk to us about this matter, it can be seen that he didn't want us to let us know, but you ran over and chewed so many words in front of your third aunt, but what did you mean? She is a good person, but no matter how good she is with you, she is your elder after all, and when will it be your turn to say those teaching-like words?"

Tang Wan'er became more and more uncomfortable, and at this moment she faintly regretted that she was quick to speak, lowered her head and thought about it, and whispered: "Am I doing bad things with good intentions? I am also thinking that I have always been close to my little aunt, so I don't avoid her, if there is a wrong word, it is also a good intention." ”

Min Li sneered: "You really did bad things with good intentions, your third uncle kept us secret, but how did you tell you at home? Even if you know it, it doesn't matter, is it the eldest brother or sister-in-law who told you to let you teach people? If they really told you like this, I don't have anything to say. I'm afraid that they will think high and not be as ignorant as you. ”

Tang Wan'er was reprimanded by Min Li for a long time, embarrassed, and lowered her head angrily.

Minli knew that she was used to being indulged, and the old lady in the house didn't often reprimand her, but now that she said these words, she would definitely not be convinced.

Min Li said coldly: "You don't know your third uncle's temper, he has always been the most knowledgeable and tolerant character, these years, not to mention the clan, even if it is with the people in the capital, who has blushed? Now that he is so abnormal, why don't you think about it, what is it that makes him angry? Is there something wrong with you in your mansion that is unpleasant......

Huaizhen was only faint from beginning to end, and when he heard this, he coughed lightly.

Min Li was angry in her heart, but she didn't press it for a while, and when she heard Huaizhen coughing lightly, she also knew that she couldn't really tear her face, so she said again: "That's it, I just want to make it clear to you, now that your little sister-in-law is pregnant, your wife has repeatedly told her not to make her unhappy, let alone make her angry, but you said this bably...... I told my wife to know, and I don't know what to do!"

Tang Wan'er was dumbfounded, turned her head to look at Huaizhen, and said, "What...... Is my sister-in-law pregnant? How did I know?"

At this moment, Huai Zhencai smiled and said casually: "The first three months should not have been publicized with others, but Yicai has never told him...... You don't know. ”

Tang Wan'er couldn't help but be upset, so she apologized: "Little aunt, I'm in a hurry, and some things are too much, you see that we have always been good, don't take it to heart, don't annoy me...... I knew I was wrong. ”

Huaizhen smiled and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, but since you maintain the dignity of the Tang family, you should always know that with your third uncle's temperament, where is the kind of person who will get dizzy when he wait......s? Even if their brothers make a mistake, it is also a matter between their men, how can we pay attention to it, not to mention that they are afraid that their disputes will be disputes, in fact, they still have their own rules, so you don't have to be in a hurry, unless you don't believe that they will be better able and calculating than us. ”

Tang Wan'er didn't dare to disobey, and nodded hurriedly.

Huai Zhen whispered again: "Your aunt said two words to you, it was also for your own good, I didn't take what you said to heart, but what your aunt said about you, you can listen to it in your ears, if you don't like it, just forget it, understand?"

Tang Wan'er saw that she was not in a hurry, and said so much reasonably, and she was always kind and pleasant, and there was no resentment, she was grateful and guilty in her heart, so she said: "Wan'er knows, and my aunt's reprimand is reasonable, and I dare not blame my aunt for anything." Minli smiled.

Tang Wan'er was taught a long time because she touched her nose and was taught a long time, so she only sat down for a while before she went.

Only after she went, Minli sighed heavily, and said: "This girl is really so thick by the indulging of the heavens and the earth in the house, and she openly ran to say so many unpleasant words, and it is a shame that my brother is not at home, if I let my brother know, where can she leave so lightly, and she must be made to cry." ”

Huai Zhen smiled and said: "What's wrong with my sister, why should I be angry with her little girl? Don't tell the third master about this, Wan'er can come to Xingshi today to ask about the crime, it can be seen that there is some wind in the house, if the third master is displeased again, won't I really become the red face in her mouth?"

Min Li laughed sneeringly, then shook her head and said, "I didn't expect that your cultivation is so good...... Fang really wanted to slap that girl a few times. ”

Huai Zhen said: "Where is the cultivation good, I also know that her temper is so tight, so why bother with her, not to mention that this matter was originally a trouble in their family...... It alarmed her so much. ”

When Min Li heard this, she smiled, and then frowned and said: "I was also about to tell you this, Wan'er just said that she took care of the dignity of the Tang family, but where did they really do it?

When Min Li said this, she said: "In our three rooms, we split up early, and my father died early...... At this time, I am afraid that I will become the beggar called Hanako, and it will become more and more ineffective in their eyes. ”

Huai Zhen saw that she was angry and faintly sad, so he said: "Zhenzhen'er's family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and from the outside, this huge Tang family is just a flower that everyone envies, and how do you know that there is still this unknown suffering inside? ”

Minli couldn't help but reddened her eyes when she heard her relief, and said after a while: "They were angry with me before, but now...... How can I bear to crush you...... Mother has always been good-natured, and my brother never quarrels with them, so they think that this room is soft and can be handled, so this time my brother has trouble with them for some reason, and they are so useless...... Hmph, and see, if they still treat us like this, there will be useless days in the future. ”

Min Li said something, but she was afraid of upsetting Huaizhen, so she turned away from the conversation and only said something else.

Huai Zhen also didn't mention this matter, but after Minli went, he thought about it privately, and thought: "How did the third master actually have a dispute with the uncle? If it's just for the sake of the people who slander Minli's sister...... I'm afraid that I can't, I won't know that day...... I'm in the big room. ”

It turned out that since Tang Wan'er mentioned it, Huai Zhen thought of this case, but that incident, only she and Tang Shao knew, in order not to cause another trouble, and because she had taught her a lesson later, she didn't tell Xiao Tang...... Could it be that Tang Shao told him?

It wasn't until the night that Xiao Tang returned, Huaizhen was already drowsy, and when he heard the movement, he turned over, and Xiao Tang rinsed himself and changed his clothes and went to bed.

Huaizhen rubbed his eyes and said, "Why did you come back so early and late, and I thought you had eaten the wedding wine and came back early...... Is the Ministry of Civility busy again?"

Xiao Tang wanted to answer, but he just hugged her into his arms and said, "I slept well, how did I wake up again?" He changed into a new middle coat, and there was still some coldness on his clothes.

Recently, it was cold in spring, and at midnight it was inevitably a little cold and cold, so Huaizhen tightened his chest, smelled the faint fragrance on his body, and felt very useful, so he said: "I have something in my heart...... I wanted to wait for you to come back and ask your ...... Are you tired of being so late?"

Xiao Tang stroked her satin green silk: "I'm not tired, what's going on in your heart?"

Huai Zhen settled down before asking, "I heard that you have some disputes with the master of the long house?

Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes and looked at her for a long time, he naturally did not have the wind in this mansion, only Mrs. Tang often went over to ask for peace, but although the long room did not like it, it would not be enough to tell Mrs. Tang about it, not to mention that even if Mrs. Tang knew, she was a very loving mother-in-law, so naturally she would not tell Huaizhen about it.

Xiao Tang frowned: "Won't it be Wan'er's girl who has a lot of tongues?" Only Tang Wan'er has a slightly close relationship with Huaizhen, and that girl can't hold back, so Xiao Tang's guess is accurate.

Huai Zhen didn't want to mention it, but now he can't hide it, so he can't help but say it. Because of the said: "It's all over, not to mention that she is an ignorant girl, but there is no need to worry about her, and now Sister Minli has said that she will go back, the girl is speechless, and she goes with a gray nose." ”

Xiao Tang sighed and was silent for a long time before he said, "You probably guessed why I was angry with my brother, this matter ...... It was Shao'er who couldn't hold back and sued me for my reads();. ”

Huai Zhen saw that it was indeed Tang Shao, so he smiled and sighed: "I just thought, it's all over, why bother to make a big fuss again......

Xiao Tang looked at her, his eyes changed, and after all, he stopped talking, only holding Huaizhen and smiling: "What you said is that it's all over, no matter what, just ignore it anymore." ”

Huai Zhen smiled and said in a low voice: "Wan'er has something to say, but it's not wrong, I know that the third master must be arguing with the uncle for my sake." ”

When Xiao Tang heard this, his heart was sour for no reason, but Huaizhen stopped talking, and only lay on his chest, very soft.

Xiao Tang gently stroked her back, only thinking in his heart, and he didn't know how long it took before he said, "Huaizhen, I still have one more thing to tell you...... Father-in-law he ......"

Xiao Tang was secretly determined, so he took a deep breath and said, "Father-in-law, he ...... Maybe something will happen recently......" He was afraid that Huaizhen was in a hurry, so he hurriedly said: "It's just that you don't have to worry, I'm already thinking about it......"

Xiao Tang hesitated, and after saying it with great difficulty, he didn't hear Huai Zhen agree, Xiao Tang hurriedly looked at it, but saw that she closed her eyes, breathed calmly, and had fallen asleep peacefully.

Xiao Tang opened his mouth, raised his hand and held it on her shoulder, before he wanted to exert himself, but he stopped, and finally only gently stroked her back with the momentum, and only said after a while: "That's it, it's okay if you can't hear it, but I would rather you know that you don't know anything, but still sleep next to me so peacefully and happily?"

Huai Zhen muttered twice in his sleep, but it seemed to promise him.

Half a month later, when the spring flood came, a heavy embankment collapsed in the south, flooding several villages and killing hundreds of people.

Because this embankment was built by the Ministry of Industry a few years ago, and now that something has happened, the natural responsibility cannot be shirked.

Originally, there was an accident, although the Ministry of Industry should take responsibility, and it will also hold the officials in charge accountable, maybe Shangshu will ask for a crime, but it will never even be the position of Shangshu, so the officials are a little surprised.

Who knew that Ying Lanfeng opened his mouth, and the new emperor of the palace said: "Ying Aiqing has always been conscientious and conscientious since he joined the Ministry of Engineering, and it is the most appropriate, how can he make such a mistake today......?

The ministers were more and more surprised, some people wanted to intercede, but Ying Lanfeng had already shouted long live, thank the lord Longen.

After retiring from the dynasty, all the adults gathered around and asked long and short questions, wondering why the emperor did this.

Ying Lanfeng was surrounded in the middle, unable to get out, he only glanced at it from a distance, but saw that not far away, Tang Yi was also looking at him, the two looked at each other, Ying Lanfeng nodded, and went with everyone.

Xiao Tang was still watching and looking at each other, but saw someone come over and said, "In the end...... What's going on?"

Xiao Tang had already seen him coming, and he settled down, so he said, "What does Guo Shilang mean by this?"

It turned out that it was Guo Jianyi who came to the front, looking at Xiao Tang at this moment, and said slowly: "The household department was also the first to get the news about the spring flood in the south, and I had already sent people to investigate, but in fact, only two villages were flooded, and only a few dozen people died.......

Xiao Tang saw that he was really cautious, but he didn't answer, Guo Jianyi looked at him and asked, "Is there something else?"

Xiao Tang's heart was heavy, but he only smiled: "What can it be?"

Guo Jianyi always refused to say when he saw him, and he remembered the day Wang Huansha got married...... Huanxi hurried back, and then the people of the Zhenfu Division followed...... Later, I faintly heard that something had happened in the Zhenfu Division, but I still didn't inquire, but at the time of the incident, Tang Yi was also ...... Guo Jianyi had some bad guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it, and seeing that Xiao Tang didn't say anything, he only saluted lightly and didn't mention reads();.

Ying Lanfeng's suspension and investigation quickly spread all over Beijing, and Huai Zhenzi also heard about it, so he immediately took a car back to Yingfu to see the clues.

When the father and daughter met, Ying Lanfeng looked calm, and said with a smile: "Why did you suddenly come back today? Do you know that you came back just in time? Your grandmother also came to visit the day before yesterday, bringing a lot of fresh melons and fruits, etc., and yesterday I was planning with your mother, thinking about whether to send you some over and visit by the way...... You girl, dare to be affectionate and have clairvoyance and ears?"

Huai Zhen only said these inconsequential words when he saw him, as if he was fine, so he grabbed him and said, "Dad, why are you still laughing? I heard that something happened in the south, and you were dismissed and investigated again?"

Ying Lanfeng smiled to himself: "Where is this happening? It's just a suspension for investigation." ”

Huaizhen didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he had to say, "It's always a big deal...... What exactly does the emperor mean, and when ......do you want to find out?"

Ying Lanfeng didn't wait for her to finish, and said: "It's true, you are not as good as before, you should take care of your body very much, why just worry about your father? Not to mention these things outside, my father is very measured, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of? Just don't worry about these idle things, my father has already thought about it, this official is not easy to be a ...... If you are to be affected by your heart for me, how can I be good?"

As he spoke, he saw Li Xianshu coming, grabbed Huaizhen and said, "I thought they were talking nonsense, but sure enough, you are back? Come in with me, your grandma is looking forward to you! Your aunt and Zhun Er are also here!"

Huaizhen still looked at Ying Lanfeng, Ying Lanfeng nodded at her with a smile: "Go quickly, it's serious for a good student to talk freely to your grandmother and cousins." ”

Huai Zhen saw that he was so indifferent, but he couldn't, so he went out with Li Xianshu and couldn't help asking: "Mother, wasn't my father reprimanded by the emperor?

Li Xianshu said: "You kid, you are really busy, what's the big deal? If the sky is broken, your father won't be an official! You are not allowed to worry about it, and you can go in with me." After walking for a while, he asked again, "You came in a hurry, does my uncle know?"

Huai Zhen said: "The third master hasn't returned home yet." ”

Li Xianshu said: "Don't be so frizzy in the future, if something really happens, the family will send you a letter early, and you are not allowed to run around." Can you remember?"

Huaizhen laughed: "Why is it not mine?"

Li Xianshu smiled, because she saw her coming, she sent someone to invite Ying Yu over. When he pulled Huaizhen into the inner house and met Grandma Xu, Aunt Li, etc., he had some joy.

Huaizhen saw that Li Zhun was getting taller and taller, with a handsome face and a heroic temperament, and he did not lose to Li Huo at all, but he was a little more shy of a young man, and when he saw Huaizhen, he came forward to salute with a red face, not the naughty behavior of dragging a stick and dancing in the yard when he was a child.

Huaizhen couldn't help but praise twice, Li Zhun blushed more and more, and ran out in shame and went to Ying Lanfeng by himself. Li Xianshu said with a smile: "Zhun'er is also older, and it will be easy to say goodbye in two years." ”

Grandma Xu smiled: "Where did you wait for two years? ”

In an instant, Ying Yu really came with the dog baby, and it became more and more lively.

Everyone sat and talked freely for a while, Grandma Xu discussed making dumplings with Li Xianshu again, everyone washed their hands, sat around the kang, talking and laughing while busy, Huaizhen saw that everyone was happy, and the worry in his heart did not disappear.

After eating at noon, everyone chatted and laughed around again, the so-called "three women in one play", now that many families are gathered together, it is even more joyful and lively beyond words.

Huai Zhen came with sorrow, but he didn't think about it, but laughed all day.

It was almost dusk, Fang Yi reluctantly returned to the Tang Mansion, and only after a little dinner did he see Xiao Tang come back.

Although Huaizhen didn't ask anything at home...... But he had a stomach full of words to ask Xiao Tang, and when he saw that he came back early today, he hurriedly pulled him and Ying Ying looked at him.

Xiao Tang knew what he meant, so he held his hand, and before he could speak, he gently stroked his palm, and said, "I wanted to tell you before...... It's just that you promise me not to rush first. ”

Huai Zhen saw that he was so solemn, so he knew that there was something else and nodded hurriedly.

Xiao Tang simply said from beginning to end, even Huanxi went to Zhenfu Division to follow Ling Jingshen...... This has been going on for more than an hour.

Huai Zhen was stunned, like hearing the book of heaven, hearing that Fusang was inexplicably dead, and listening to Xiao Tang deduce the complex and indescribable bond between this Fusang person and Ying Lanfeng one by one, he was already full of coldness, and his hands unconsciously grabbed Xiao Tang's sleeves, and he didn't dare to let go.

After a long time, Huaizhen came to his senses, and he was busy thinking: "My father will never have anything to do with the Fusang people......

Xiao Tang said: "Don't worry, I won't doubt my father-in-law." ”

Seeing him say this, Huai Zhen was a little relieved, and suddenly thought that since such a big event was born, why should Ying Lan be so upright, but only today...... Huaizhen was moved by a thought, and he was busy looking at Tang Yi.

When Xiao Tang saw her eyes like this, he said, "You probably thought about it, today's incident is just an excuse." ”

Huai Zhen only felt his heart beating dullly, and asked, "Why is this?"

Xiao Tang said: "It's better to suspend and investigate like this, than to make a fuss about that incident...... It's a hundred times stronger. "-- To admit that the project was a failure is at best a dereliction of duty, but if the matter involving the Fuso people is publicized, it is a great crime of treason, and whether it can be cleared up or not, as long as it is a little tainted with this matter, I am afraid that it will also be a lifelong stain.

Huaizhen was very sad, but he didn't know what to say. After a while, he said: "I thank you for my father......"

Xiao Tang sighed: "You don't have to thank me, I don't just act like this for selfishness, just for the sake of prudence, just because of this matter, if it is publicized first, it will inevitably be in an uproar all over the city, causing chaos in people's hearts, and naturally hindering the current situation...... However, you also have to count, the Zhenfu Division is still investigating this matter, but I am afraid that the current peace is only temporary, and what will happen in the future is not something I can control...... If ......"

When Xiao Tang said this, he suddenly saw Huaizhen looking at him, and there was a faint look of fear in his eyes, Xiao Tang hurriedly stopped, and said, "But you don't have to think about the worst, or...... Will we be able to clear our name soon?"

Huaizhen's eyes were full of tears, and she seemed to have thousands of words in her heart, but she didn't know what to say...... Although she refused to speak, Xiao Tang saw that her face was slightly pale, and she bowed slightly, with a painful look on her face, so he guessed it earlier, and he couldn't help but regret it in his heart...... Immediately call someone to pass on the imperial doctor.
