This head, the Luoyang disaster situation is strict. After Wei Feng arrived at the place, he not only had to control the disaster, but also strengthened the river embankment, diverted the river, and was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground for a while, and he could only sit down and rest for a while when the night was quiet.

An oil lamp on the table was burning, Wei Feng leaned back, leaned on the Huanghuali armchair, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Have you received a reply from Madame?" ”

The guard in indigo clothes said, "I have not received it yet." ”

This person's name is Chang Hu, and he is from the same division as Li Hong, and they are both a group of loyal guards trained by Wei Feng.

In the past few days, Wei Feng has to ask the question just now every day, no matter how busy he is, he doesn't forget to read the letters. Chang Hu couldn't help but think that the letter sent by the prince should have only arrived in the capital at this time, and even if the lady wrote a reply immediately, it should have been several days before it was sent here. is so uncontrollable, but it doesn't look like the style of the prince.

Wei Feng closed his eyes and rested for a moment, and didn't say anything more. Just as he was about to continue to look through the disaster reports in various places, there was a knock on the door outside the house, wearing a pine-colored round-necked robe, it was Wang Di, the prefect of Luozhou.

Wei Feng is living in the house of the prefect of Wang these days. As soon as Wang Di heard that Wei Feng had come to investigate the rivers along the Yellow River, he was extremely attentive, and now that the lights in his house were still on, he came in with a smile on his face and said, "Lord Shizi, you still haven't rested so late?" ”

Wei Feng glanced at him, turned a page of the book casually, and said straight to the point: "Is there anything going on in the Wang Governor's Mansion?" ”

"Xia Guan is afraid that the prince will be tired, so he has come to see you." Wang Di smiled kindly, took two steps forward, and revealed a person behind him, "It just so happens that the little girl made a few pastries, and the prince has to deal with official business late at night, so he must be hungry at this time." The little girl has no other skills, but this snack is good, why don't you try it? ”

This Wang Di looked at the pot-bellied poop, and gave birth to a beautiful daughter. I saw the girl behind him wearing a blue skirt, with a graceful posture and a beautiful posture, she took two steps forward with her head down, put the food box in her hand on the table, and whispered: "Lord Shizi, please use it slowly." ”

Wei Feng glanced at the food box, and then at the girl in front of him, his eyes were unmistakable, and his face remained unchanged.

Wang Shiyu, the daughter of the prefect of Wang, quietly raised her eyes and looked at Wei Feng, and then lowered her head in shame. Originally, she thought that the people who were assigned by the emperor to do things were all old men with gray hair and more than half a hundred years old, but she didn't expect that the prince of Jin was not only young and beautiful, Zhilan Yushu, but also talented, and I heard that in just a few days, he managed the Luozhou River in an orderly manner. Her heart throbbed, and while she put the pastries on the table on her own initiative, she said shyly and timidly: "The prince might as well try it, these are all Luozhou's special dim sum." The little girl is not good at cooking, and I hope that the prince will not be disgusted. ”

Wei Feng picked up the book again, bent his index finger and knocked on the table unhurriedly, "Take it down." ”

Wang Shiyu was stunned and looked at him: "The prince ...... the world"

Wei Feng said lightly: "I don't want anyone to come in and disturb me when I'm reading. The words were said to the prefect Wang at the back, his eyebrows were clear and cold, with some undoubtedness, "Chang Hu, send Lord Wang out." The next time someone trespasses into the study, I will ask you for your sin. ”

Chang Hu made a "please go out" gesture to Wang Di and Wang Shiyu.

Wang Di wanted to say something, but he saw Chang Hu thumb and pull out a saber at his waist, he immediately silenced and led his daughter Wang Shiyu out in a sneering manner.

After the two left, Wei Feng turned his gaze to the food box on the table, and said calmly with his eyes down, "Take it and throw it away." ”

Since Su Xi received Wei Feng's first letter, every two days since then, a letter from his family has been mailed.

Su Xi didn't know if his reply was delivered to Wei Feng, anyway, there was nothing about the two maids on his letter. The weather is gradually getting cooler, and the ginkgo biloba leaves in the yard have fallen to the ground, full of golden, and autumn is in full swing.

Calculating the time, Wei Feng has been gone for more than a month.

Su Xi was idle and bored alone, so he went to the backyard of the Jin Palace. It was windy outside, and she only walked for a while, and her little face was slightly pale by the wind. Back to Yunjin Zhai, she tightened the cherry blossom embroidered peony cloak on her body, and was about to enter the house, when she saw two people standing under the corridor, one was listening to the geese, and the other was the painted beads sent by the Yuan family a while ago.

Listening to the goose's face was angry, his appearance was stern, and he was reprimanding the beads.

As for the beads...... There was a distinct slap mark on his cheek, and he was looking down at the moment, unable to see what expression he was.

Hearing that Yan saw Su Xi coming forward, he hurriedly stopped talking and called "girl".

Su Xi said: "What's the matter? ”

At this time, it can be seen how well Wei Feng managed Yunjinzhai in an orderly manner, even if there was such a big movement, no one came up to watch, and everyone buried their heads in their own business. Hearing Yan glared at Huizhu fiercely and said, "When the girl just went out, this cheap hoof said that she was instructed by you to move the newly bloomed ink chrysanthemum to your house." The slave was not there at the time, and it was Huichun who put her in. When the slave heard this, she felt that something was wrong, and hurried into the house to take a look, and saw her rummaging through your desk. ”

There were only a few idle books on Su Xi's desk, nothing important, why did Huizhu turn over her desk?

She frowned and said, "What are she looking for?" ”

Listening to Yan said: "The slave maid just asked, but this cheap hoof refuses to say." ”

Su Xi took her skirt and went into the room to take a look, the books on the warped desk were messed up, not very obvious, and there was nothing unusual in other places. She asked Tingyan to look at the painted beads for the time being, called the maid who had watched the movement of the painted beads and the painting in the past few days, and asked, "What have they done in the past few days, and who have they seen?" ”

The maid said: "Mrs. Hui, Huazhu and Huachuan have been working in the flower shed for the past few days, and they have not found anything abnormal. After that, he thought for a while and said, "But Huizhu has met with Mrs. Liu, who guards the second gate, a few times." ”

Su Xi kept an eye on it, and immediately asked Tingli to inquire about Mrs. Liu, who was guarding the second gate. Within half a day, I found out that Mrs. Liu was a person from the Yuan family, the princess of Jin.

Su Xi soon realized that the Yuan family arranged for the two maids to go to Yunjinzhai, perhaps not to stuff people around Wei Feng, but to find out the news of Yunjinzhai.

But what exactly do they want to find out? Su Xi couldn't figure it out, so he asked Tingyan to interrogate Huizhu and Huachuan, but the two were tight-lipped and refused to say anything. Listening to the wild goose, they were beaten by twenty boards respectively, until the two of them closed their eyes and pouted, and they still didn't say a word.

Su Xi didn't know if Huizhu had heard anything, so just in case she didn't reveal the news, she and Huachuan were locked in a room across the courtyard, and no one was allowed to go in to visit, let alone let them out. After a few days, it was still calm.

*

On Ji'antang's side, someone is in a hurry.

Before Wei Feng left, he arranged Yunjin Zhai inside and out so tightly that not even a single mosquito could fly in. It was before that the Yuan family would use such a tough attitude to stuff the painted beads and the painted chuan to Su Xi, and now these two people are locked up by Su Xi, not to mention whether they have seen Wei Feng's letter, even if they see it, they can't pass it on, and people outside can't get in. Wei Xun waited for four or five days and couldn't wait for news, seeing that Wei Feng was about to return to Beijing, he grabbed the ink-colored small cover clock on the table of the Eight Immortals in anger and threw it on the ground.

"Rubbish!" He said.

Yuan Shi kicked out all the maids in the house, and said coldly: "I didn't expect that girl to have a little brain." ”

Wei Xun pinched the handrail.

Yuan Shi thought for a moment, and then said, "Why don't I go to Yunjin Zhai in person to get people out." ”

Wei Xun shook his head and said: "At the beginning, my mother gave them to Yunjin Zhai, and now I am going to ask for someone at this time, which will definitely make the other side suspicious." ”

Yuan asked, "Then what are you going to do...... I heard from the prince that Wei Feng will return to Beijing in a few days. ”

Wei Xun's face was gloomy, and he thought for a while: "It's a big deal to arrange more manpower and ambush him on the way back to Beijing, I don't believe that I can't take his life this time." ”

The two were talking in the house, and no one noticed that there was a person standing outside the door.

Wei Yang came to ask Yuan for peace, and when he saw that the door of Ji'an Hall was empty and there was no maid in sight, he became curious and walked lightly to the door, wanting to hear what the people inside said, but he didn't expect to hear this conversation. He was stunned, and when he heard the voice of Wei Xun saying goodbye to his mother, he hurriedly turned around and left the place quietly.

Wei Yang walked in a hurry, as if he was afraid of being discovered by the people behind him.

He hurried back to his yard, his ears echoing the conversation between his mother and his second brother. He was shocked, his mother and second brother actually wanted to take the life of his eldest brother? Although the eldest brother was born to the former princess Xue and has never been very close to them, Wei Yang has always respected Wei Feng's brother. He always thought that his mother was just a little unfamiliar with his eldest brother, but now he suddenly heard the news and didn't digest it for a long time.

Wei Yang panicked and knocked down the rattan-faced square table on the side, only to hear a "bang" before he slowly calmed down.

The maid asked anxiously: "Third master, what's wrong with you......"

Wei Yang waved his hand and said, "Go out, you all go out." ”

Right now, his mind is so confused that he doesn't know what to do. Wei Yang sat in the Eight Immortals chair and thought for a while, why did his mother and second brother be unfavorable to his eldest brother Wei Feng? Could it be for the position of his son? His heart was cold, and he knew that he had guessed eight and nine.

Without the eldest brother, the second brother is the eldest brother, and the position of the son of the world will naturally fall to him......

Wei Yang shook the armrest, his heart was like a mess. Yuan had never told him about this, perhaps because he thought he was still young, and he would only turn sixteen after the New Year, and he didn't understand these things even if he told him. He sat alone in the house for several hours, and when the maid came in and told him to eat, he was indifferent.

*

Su Xi was afraid of the cold, so the charcoal basin was burned in the house early. After the weather changed from autumn to winter, it became colder and colder day by day, and now she was too lazy to go out, and sat on the window couch with a handstove every day and fell asleep. She counted on her fingers, the day after tomorrow was the day when Wei Feng returned to Beijing, and he had been gone for almost two months in the blink of an eye. I wonder where he's going? How are the rivers in Los Angeles well managed?

At first, Su Xi felt that time was very slow, and he couldn't finish it. Later, she gradually got used to it, and when she received Wei Feng's letter saying that she was back in Beijing, she was still surprised, why did she come back so quickly? She yawned lazily, perhaps because of the coming of winter, and she always felt sleepy these days, as if she couldn't wake up.

When Su Xi was drowsy, Huan Chun came in from outside and said, "Girl, the third master outside wants to see you." ”

Su Xi was a little sluggish, and his mind turned around before he remembered that the third master was the third master of the Wei family. "Why did he want to see me?"

Hui Chun folded his hands and said, "The third master said that he has something to tell you." ”

Su Xi and Wei Sanye Wei Yang rarely interact, they met in the mansion on weekdays, and they didn't talk much, what did he have to say to himself? She thought about it, but put on a piping cape, put on embroidered shoes, and walked out the door. I saw Wei Yang standing outside the door in a regular manner, wearing a dark green brocade robe, his eyebrows were frowning, and his expression was a little anxious.

Walking up to him, without waiting for Su Xi to speak, Wei Yang said, "Sister-in-law, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Su Xi looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "If the third uncle has anything to say, just say it here." ”

Wei Yang pursed the corners of his lips and looked at the maid beside Su Xi in embarrassment.

Su Xi saw that they were standing at the door of Yunjin Zhai, and Wei Yang should not dare to do anything, so he asked Tingyan and the others to take a few steps back. She looked at Wei Yang, "Can the third uncle say this time?" ”

Wei Yang thought about this matter for several days, and didn't know whether to tell Su Xi or not. If he said it, he was sorry for his mother and second brother, because he was unfilial and unjust; If he doesn't, then he's sorry for his conscience. He struggled for three days, and finally decided to tell Su Xi the truth. "I went to Ji'an Hall that day, and I heard that my mother and second brother were discussing things......"

Not much.

After listening to Wei Yang's words, Su Xi's eyes widened in disbelief.

Wei Yang said: "If the sister-in-law can contact the eldest brother, let him keep an eye on the road." If it's okay, it's great, if it's really ......" He paused for a long time before continuing: "I only ask my sister-in-law for one thing, don't say that I sued you afterwards, I don't want my mother and second brother to know that it was me who reported the news." ”

Su Xi didn't care about what was behind him, and only looked at him fixedly, "What you said is true?" ”

Wei Yang shook his head, "It's true." ”

After digesting this matter, Su Xi finally figured out the ins and outs. It turned out that the Yuan family placed the two of them beside her in order to act as their eyeliner, not to fill in the room for Wei Feng. As for what Huizhu was looking for that day, it must have been Wei Feng's letter. It's just that Huizhu doesn't know that after reading the letter, it is generally not placed on the warping case, but locked in the sour branch wood chest of drawers on the side.

Now that she heard that Wei Xun was going to be unfavorable to Wei Feng on the road, her heartbeat missed for several moments, and she didn't have time to deal with Wei Feng anymore, so she had to go to the front yard to find Li Hong.

Yunjin Zhai is not far from the front yard, through a hand-copying verandah, out of the hanging flower gate, and a little more walk to arrive. As soon as Su Xi walked out of the weeping flower gate and stepped on the cobblestone path to the front yard, he saw Wei Xun coming in a navy blue brocade robe.

Su Xi stopped suddenly, her pink lips pursed slightly, and her eyes looked at him without blinking.

saw Wei Xun walking towards her slowly, and finally stopped in front of her, and asked, "Sister-in-law is in such a hurry, where are you going?" ”
