112. Chinese New Year's Eve
Wei Yuan is here for the embezzlement case decades ago. It is said that the grandfather of one of the people under his hand has been wronged, and the person who wronged him is the right servant of Shangshu, who is famous in the court, and Wei Yuan specially came to ask Wei Feng to overturn the case for his subordinates. Wei Yuan is shrewd and capable, and his subordinates never accept people of unknown origin, besides, the right servant of Shangshu has been conscientious and upright all his life, whether this matter is true or not, Emperor Zhaoyuan only gave Wei Feng a month, and now there are only seven or eight days left, once Wei Feng intervenes in this matter, it will delay the process. Wei Feng asked Wei Yuan to bring his subordinate over, and he personally interrogated some of the situation, but Wei Yuan said that the person went to Yuzhou to do business, and he would not be able to come back for a while and a half, and he would not be able to come back until next month at the earliest.
At that time, the deadline given by Emperor Zhaoyuan had passed.
This is pure confusion. Wei Feng curled the corners of his mouth casually, and said, "There are no witnesses, no physical evidence, why does my cousin think I can do this?" β
Wei Yuan said with a smile: "Didn't Your Majesty praise you for your scripture and martial arts, and your ability is outstanding, how can this little thing be rare to fall down to Cousin Tingzhou?" β
Wei Feng smiled silently, neither saying yes nor saying no.
This Wei Yuan wanted to say something, but saw Wei Feng stop. He stopped, looked forward, and saw a girl wearing a bright red Su embroidered phoenix and a peony cloak standing under the corridor, with a graceful posture, and behind her was a snowy field, red clothes, white snow, lining her cheeks whiter than snow, thin and smart, as if she had accidentally fallen into the fairy and jade girl of mortal dust, and with a light touch, she dispersed and melted.
She was holding a fluffy mass in her arms, and somehow she suddenly screamed, recalling Wei Yuan's senses.
Su Xi didn't expect Wei Yuan to be here, she originally just wanted to hold the little fox to Wei Feng. Stunned at the moment, Chao Weiyuan owed a debt, and said, "Prince Yu." β
Wei Yuan listened to her voice, and was in a trance, as if he had returned to the Luhua Garden of the eldest princess of Shouchang three years ago. She stood under the peach blossom tree, sitting on the rockery pavilion, looking at her figure, she was still as delicate as three years ago, but a little less green, a little more feminine, and the voice was a little girl's sweetness, such a contradiction did not make people feel abrupt.
Wei Yuan didn't respond for a long time. Wei Feng's eyebrows were cold, and he said in a low voice: "Youyou, I have run out of ink in my study, you can grind some more ink for me." β
Su Xi Zheng had no excuse to leave, after all, Wei Yuan's vision was too straightforward for people to ignore if they wanted to. She bowed her head and said yes, and carried the little fox into the study. Outside, Wei Feng sent Wei Yuan out of the door, and it didn't take long for Doctor Zhou to come in with a medicine box, first check the little fox's hind legs, and then clean its wounds with medicinal wine. Xu thought it was painful, and the little fox struggled a few times in Su Xi's arms, but because he had been frozen in the snow for a long time and had not eaten for several days, his strength in the struggle was very weak, and he was not afraid at all.
Soon, Zhou Zhongxian gave the little fox medicine and bandaged the wound.
Su Xi gently kneaded its pointed ears and asked the doctor, "Is its injury serious?" Will you be able to walk in the future? β
Doctor Zhou said: "The injury is a little serious, and it has been delayed for a few days, I'm afraid it will not be easy to heal." If you take good care of it, you will still be able to walk normally in the future, so Madame should pay more attention. β
Su Xi was relieved, and asked the doctor if there was anything to pay attention to in his diet, whether the doctor was a veterinarian or not, and he didn't know much about this aspect. He said: "Animals are different from people, and the lady only needs to feed them more meat." β
Su Xi nodded, and after sending Dr. Zhou away, he asked Tinghe to hurry up and cook a bowl of minced meat soup.
After Wei Feng sent Wei Yuan back, he saw her sitting behind the warped desk in her office, holding a fox in her arms, and a small sweet white porcelain bowl on the table, and she took a spoon to feed the fox a little bit of soup. Looking at the inkstone next to it, the ink was clean and clean, and it was not polished.
Wei Shizi walked up to her, frowned slightly, and said, "Where did you pick up the fox?" β
Su Xi raised his head, only then did he notice that he was back, put down the spoon and said: "Just behind the Merlin I went to today, I saw that it was not lightly injured, so I picked it up without permission......" Saying that, remembering the scene he saw today, he paused, and pondered: "Cousin Tingzhou, I have something I want to tell you." β
Su Xi didn't want to tell SΓΉ Weifeng about this, but when she said it, she looked like a long-tongued woman and talked nonsense, but if she didn't say it, she panicked. In addition, the relationship between Wei Feng and Wei Yuan is tense now, and if he talks about it, maybe it will help him.
Su Xi sent all the maids in the study out, and listened to the goose holding the little fox and going to feed it under the porch. She stood at the table, twisting the ink and grinding it while saying, "When I was picking snow with Wei Xin today, I saw two people in the back mountain......
She was embarrassed to say it too carefully, only saying that the two were intimate and had been alone for a long time. After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Wei Feng with a blank look, "Cousin Tingzhou, what did you say about Fu Yi and Li Gongzi?" β
Wei Feng listened, and his fingertips tapped the rosewood tabletop, as if thinking, "Where do you say they are?" β
Su Xi told the place again.
It is very close to the palace of King Yu, but because of its remote location, few people go there. He sneered with thin lips and said, "These two people are bold. After saying that, the girl in front of the meeting looked slightly embarrassed, and she knew that what she saw must be more than that simple, a private meeting between men and women, the sky is thunderous, how can there be only hugging and hugging? He bent his index finger and flicked Su Xi's head, and said, "Forget everything you see, don't think nonsense." Just tell me about it, don't tell anyone else. β
Su Xi covered her head and nodded obediently, "I won't talk nonsense everywhere." β
*
Originally, he only said that he would stay in another hospital for three days, but before he knew it, he stayed for a few more days. By the time they got home, it was four or five days later. Time has entered the wax moon, and it will not be long before the New Year, and Su Xi's sixteenth birthday is approaching. Recently, Wei Feng was busy with the end of the case, his feet did not touch the ground every day, and he was called out again after he had just returned home and sat for a long time. Sometimes I can't even bother to come back for dinner, and it's already the middle of the night when I come back. He told Su Xi not to wait for him, but Su Xi was stubborn, and he waited for him to come back every time before eating.
When he came back one night, he saw her lying on a round table with a lion pattern in relief, with supper in front of her, and she had fallen asleep. Wei Feng was so distressed that no matter how busy he was in the next few days, he would rush back as soon as possible and accompany Su Xi to dinner.
All this hard work always pays off.
After Wei Feng handed over the case to Emperor Zhaoyuan, because the case was handled beautifully, he overturned the case to dozens of people who were wronged that year, and also replenished a few fish that slipped through the net. These people are moths of the imperial court, they are greedy on weekdays, they take bribes in private, and their reputation is very bad.
I heard that Emperor Zhaoyuan will be established in the spring of the next year.
At present, the situation between the DPRK and China is very clear. The courtiers all knew that Emperor Zhaoyuan wanted to pick people in the Jin Palace, the Yu Palace, as for Wei Feng or Wei Yuan......
This is also what Emperor Zhaoyuan considered.
Wei Yuan acted decisively, his methods were old and spicy, and he would do whatever it took to achieve his goals, but his ability was slightly lacking.
Wei Feng is capable and strategic, but his temperament is too cold and his interests are clear, so he is not suitable for the position of prince.
Now the court has been divided into three factions, one is Wei Feng, one is Wei Yuan, and the other is hoping that Emperor Zhaoyuan and the empress will have a little prince. It's just that Emperor Zhaoyuan and the Empress Mother are both old, not to mention that Emperor Zhaoyuan's body is becoming more and more depleted, and it is almost impossible to regenerate, so most of them are from the other two factions.
There were treacherous things in the court, and Su Xi couldn't feel the tension at home, and was showing Xue Qingxiang someone.
After all, Xue Qing has served Wei Feng for more than ten years, and she can't be too wronged in marriage, otherwise it will be too ugly.
Su Xi picked a few families, two of them lived in the capital, one was from Binzhou, and one was from Hezhou. Binzhou has the best family background, and the other party's appearance is also well-born, and there are rules in the family that you can take concubines only if you are over 30 years old. And Xueqing's hometown is also in Binzhou, and she is familiar with that place, and when it comes to this family business, she is not wronged at all.
After Su Xi was optimistic, he took it to ask Wei Feng's opinion.
"Who do you think is good?"
Wei Feng glanced at it roughly and said casually: "It's all up to you." β
Su Xi insisted on him to see it, pouted, and said confidently: "You can't rely on me." In case Xue Qing doesn't marry well in the future, wouldn't it be my fault? β
Wei Feng looked at her with a smile, knowing what was going on in her head, she was worried that she would blame her when she thought of Xue Qing Xue Zhu in the future. This little fool, how could he be willing to blame her for the two maids? He casually pointed to a family and said, "That's it, Binzhou is not too far away, if you decide, send someone to talk to Xueqing." β
Su Xi said yes, went back and looked again, and called Xue Qing the next day to tell him about it.
Xue Qing is smarter than Xue Zhu, and when Xue Zhu left, she expected that she would end up like this. When Su Xi said to her, she was quite calm, bent her knees, and said, "Slave and maid thank Mrs. Xie for the fate." β
A few days later, Su Xi called the family in Binzhou to take a look. The family's surname is Li, and the eldest grandson Li Chengxian has a slender figure, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is an elegant scholar at a glance. The Li family is also a large family and a scholarly family in the local area, and the daughters-in-law they marry are all knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous.
After Mrs. Li looked at Xue Qing, although she felt that Xue Qing's identity was a little low, but the other party was from the Jin Palace, so she couldn't refuse directly, so she only said that she would go back and think about it.
Su Xi expressed his understanding and politely ordered someone to send them back. After a few days, the Li family agreed, and came to the Jin Wangfu again to combine the eight characters and perform the six salutes.
After some process, Xueqing's wedding date is set for the end of the month.
Time is a bit rushed. Su Xi admitted that this was her selfishness, and she wanted to marry Xue Qing earlier.
The days soon came to the end of the year, and after Xue Qing got married, it soon reached the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
