Single Moon Temple

"Wechen see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Baili Chenxi stood up from the bookcase, walked to Zhao Qi, and helped Zhao Qi up, and scolded lightly

"Get up. Kai, I've told you how many times, no matter what you call it in front of outsiders, it's good that it's just the two of us that we're still the same as before. ”

Zhao Qi stood up and chuckled at Baili Chenxi, "His Royal Highness the Prince, rules are rules. Not to be discarded. Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just taken the seat of the Crown Prince now. The foundation is still shallow, and at this critical moment, we must not be caught like this. ”

The corners of Baili Chenxi's eyebrows frowned slightly, turned around and returned to the bookcase, and glanced at the folds on the bookcase with a headache. "Did you get the message? The drought situation in the Jiangbei area is getting more and more severe, and the people sent by my father to provide disaster relief are coming in waves, but more and more people are affected by the disaster. There are so many people in the court, but no one can come up with a feasible solution. ”

"Drought in Jiangbei? A month ago, the Prime Minister Wen reported this matter to the emperor. What, it hasn't been solved yet? Zhao Qi's eyes narrowed, and he quickly stepped forward and took the fold handed over by Baili Chenxi, and quickly glanced at it. A chill flashed across his face.

Baili Chenxi rubbed his sour eyes and raised his head to look at Zhao Qi. "Qi, what if I want you to go to Jiangbei?" As Zhao Qi said, he has just sat on the throne of the crown prince now, and his foundation is unstable. continued to help him with the talented people around him, but today he thought about it for a day, and now the only person he can trust by his side is Zhao Qi.

This matter is very important, except for Zhao Qi, he is not at ease to hand over this matter to anyone. It's just that he also thought that if Zhao Qi left the capital, he would be unpeaceful for a long time. However, these are nothing compared to the stability of the people.

What Baili Chenxi thought of, Zhao Qi naturally thought of it. Zhao Qi raised his head and glanced at Baili Chenxi meaningfully. "Since the prince has decided, Weichen should do his best. At the same time, Weichen also asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take care of his health. Although the government is important, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not ignore his own body. ”

"I see. If there is nothing to do. You just step down. ”

"Yes, Weichen retired."

Before Zhao Qi left. Glancing up at the seat on the roof, a murderous aura flashed across his face. Unexpectedly, the eldest prince had just ascended to the throne of the crown prince, and some people were already impatient. Hmph, these people really can't hold their breath.

After Zhao Qi left, Baili Chenxi also glanced up at the roof. Then he continued to lower his head to see that it was a review of the folds. A quarter of an hour later, Baili Chenxi called his personal guards and left the study.

"Are you ready with everything I want you to prepare?"

Zhao Qi, who was dressed as a guard, leaned over and lowered his head, and said respectfully, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, everything is ready." Just wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give an order. ”

"Good. I want you to do everything you can to catch this person for me. ”

"Yes"

In the middle of the night. A large-scale assassination in the Shan Yue Hall ended with the annihilation of the enemy's entire army in Zhao Qi's timely rescue. However, the last live mouth was not caught. All of them committed suicide by poisoning. Baili Chenxi came out of the house, and when he saw this bloody scene, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

The longer a person stays in what kind of environment, the more paralyzed he will become. Today's Bailichenxi is like this, from the first time he saw the dead man for the first time, his hands and feet trembled, to his current calm face. This process seems scary.

"Did you ask anything?"

Zhao Qi shook his head: "No." It seems that this is a group of well-trained killers. They had all taken poison before they came, and if they failed in their mission, they would take poison and kill themselves. ”

"Wen Fu concubine Wen Zhong Nan has news recently?"

"Nope. None of the people we sent out came back. Your Highness, do you want to send someone over again? ”

Baili Chenxi waved his hand. There was a half-silence. He said coldly, "No need, let's withdraw the rest of us." Wen Zhongnan has been away from Beijing for half a month, and if nothing else, he will be back soon. ”

"Second son Wen must have gained a lot when he went out this time."

"Not necessarily. Now I don't know the Wen family who is looking at this position, and there are some things that will be done without us doing. Kai, you need to deal with the affairs of Jiangbei well. I have my own measure in the affairs of the capital. ”

"Okay."

Early in the morning of the second day, Xia Cicada still got up and cleaned as usual, because she slept too late last night, and she ate a little late this morning. She had just walked out of the house with a broom, and the rest of the people had already returned for breakfast with a broom. When they saw Xia Cicada, they would sweep the floor with a broom, and they looked ordinary. It seems that there are too many precedents like Xia Cicada, and everyone is used to it. But no one would come up to help.

Only Caiying, after cleaning his range every day, he still has to take a broom to help Xia Cicada sweep, if it weren't for Caiying. Xia Cicada doesn't talk about breakfast, it is estimated that it will not be able to catch up with the meal time all day long.

Speaking of this, Xia Cicada has many grievances that are not unhappy. Who stipulates this, if you don't finish your work, you won't be given food, even the landlords in Xialiang Village know that only when the workers are full of food can they have the strength to work, but you look at Wenfu. If you don't finish your work, you won't be fed.

Wen Zhongnan said how good it sounded at the beginning, he would take care of her and take care of her. Hmph, people say you don't need to take care of you, you really don't take care of it at all. The most annoying thing is that it was half a month to leave, and there was not even a message in the middle, if it weren't for the fact that when Mrs. wanted to reward him with a board yesterday, someone suddenly appeared and saved her, she really thought that Wen Zhongnan had another purpose for tricking her into Wen's mansion.

"Erya, you're here. You see I'm not happy today. I'm sure we'll be able to catch breakfast this morning. Erya, you can rest assured. I'll make sure you'll eat. ”

Xia Chan pulled out a reluctant smile at Chaeyoung. When did eating get so hard. This is really a naked body lì labor. If you don't exert yourself every day, you won't have anything to eat. It's just an overlord clause, and she wants to resist. Revolt.

Coo-coo. Xia Cicada lowered her head and touched her dry belly, picked up the broom and began to sweep the floor with a discouraged face. No way, you still have to eat when you're hungry. People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. She can't hurt her stomach and be wronged because of a momentary anger.

Caiying also heard the cry of Xia Cicada's stomach just now, and lowered her head and smiled quietly. The second girl is really cute, and almost every morning her stomach is urging her to work. Otherwise, even if she got up, she would always stand aside with a broom and doze off.

But the housekeeper is really, it was obviously not like this before. How did the son change as soon as he left? It's not like Madame is coming up with a way again.

"Second Young Master." Chaeyoung was sweeping the floor while thinking about it with a broom, and suddenly a pair of men's shoes appeared in front of her and looked up. It turned out to be the second young master who I hadn't seen for many days. Chaeyoung was immediately overjoyed. Xia Chan on the side heard Caiying's laughter, and thought that Caiying had finished sweeping and was ready to eat. Immediately put down the broom in his hand, and raised his feet to run to the kitchen.

Chaeyoung saw this. hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Xia Chan, and said with a funny face, "Sister Erya, it's not time to eat." It's that the second young master is back. Our second young master is back. You won't have to go hungry every day from today. ”

"Wen Zhongnan is back. Where is he. This damn liar tricked me into the Wen Mansion and disappeared in the blink of an eye. When I first came to Wenfu, I said how good it was, and the treatment of the next person. Although there will be no meat in a meal, you can eat a full meal. But if you look at me now, when I came, I was a girl, and now. Woo, now I guess my own mother is standing in front of me, and my real mother doesn't know me anymore. Woo, half a month, just half a month, this damn Wenfu has abused me like this. ”

Xia Chan's crying was really real, and the people on the side also frowned when they heard it. Without waiting for Xia Chan to finish speaking, Wen Zhongnan strode up to Xia Chan from the side. Holding Xia Chan's arm, he looked at Xia Chan with a distressed expression.

"What you just said is true, you have to work every day in Wenfu recently, and if you can't finish your work, you won't be given food."

Xia Chan looked up and saw that it was really Wen Zhong Nan, and he was overjoyed. Then he remembered something, and quickly pushed Wen Zhongnan away.

"Wen Zhongnan, you are a big liar. What you said when you tricked me in, look at it now. What has become of me? If I hadn't insisted on looking in the mirror every day, I guess I wouldn't even know myself. ”

Wen Zhongnan looked Xia Cicada up and down, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. That's as exaggerated as she said. At most, the face is not very good. The others are still the same, and they are not thin. However, there were people in the house who treated the people in his courtyard like this after he left. It seems that some people have lived a stable life for too long and have forgotten the lessons of the past.

"Miss Xia. You can rest assured. These days, I will let them pay you back with interest for the grievances you have suffered. ”

Xia Chan looked incredulous, and the corners of his mouth were skimming, "Cut, I haven't heard of anyone who can give me back the meat I lost." Oh, Wen Zhongnan, don't talk about those who have or don't. I'm hungry right now, so hurry up and take me to dinner. Otherwise, there will be no breakfast today. ”

Xia Cicada threw down the broom in his hand and didn't care about any male and female defense. Pulling Wen Zhongnan and running to the kitchen. Leaving Chaeyoung with a look of surprise. The second son is really good to the second sister. In so many years, she has never seen the second son be so good to that girl as well as to the second girl.

"Wen Zhongnan. You tell me honestly, where have you been in the past half month. When you left, you didn't tell me, I thought you were sleeping in the middle of the night and someone robbed you. Xia Cicada held a chicken leg and nibbled it in three or two clicks.

Just now, I heard that Zhong Nan took Xia Chan to the big kitchen in the front yard, Xia Chan didn't know if he was going, and he was startled when he went. It turns out that the lord and his wife live like this every day. Early in the morning, it is chicken, duck and fish, and I am not afraid of eating so oil and constipation all day.

Look at these subordinates again, three meals a day are a steamed bun and a plate of leftovers. The housekeeper may bring you a little meat when you are in a good mood, and when you are in a bad mood, you may even save salt from the dish. And Wenfu, the housekeeper, was in a bad mood for nine out of ten days.

Xia Cicada finished eating a chicken leg and stuffed another chicken leg into her mouth. looked up at Wen Zhongnan.

Wen Zhongnan put a bowl of soup in front of Xia Cicada, picked up chopsticks and took a bite of the dish. After eating, he whispered

"Went to a far place. This place Miss Xia shouldn't have been to before. It's beautiful and beautiful there, though. If I have a chance in the future, I will take Miss Xia over to have a look. ”

"Beautiful? Our Jingguo is very beautiful. Doesn't that place you said belong to Jingguo? ”

"It doesn't belong to Jingguo. As for what exactly it is. You'll know when the time comes. Wen Zhongnan said, took a pair of chopsticks and put the vegetables into the summer cicada bowl. Come, eat some greens, eating meat when you come is not good for your health. ”

Xia Cicada glanced down at the green vegetables in the bowl, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and then she took the green vegetables in the bowl and put them in Wen Zhongnan's bowl. "I don't want to eat greens, only rabbits like to eat greens. I'm not a rabbit. Besides, I've been eating green vegetables for half a month in a row. You like to eat it yourself. I'll eat meat anyway. ”

Wen Zhongnan glanced down at the green vegetables in the bowl, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Who told her that he likes to eat vegetables, and he also hates eating vegetables. However, he didn't want to explain it. I picked up the vegetables in the bowl and stuffed them into my mouth, and swallowed them again. The whole action is synthesized together.

When Caiying entered the door, she saw her young master's action, and the surprise in her eyes grew bigger and bigger.

"What's the matter?" Wen Zhongnan put down his chopsticks and glanced up at Caiying. Caiying saluted Wen Zhongnan, and then said, "Back to the young master, the old lady is invited." ”

Hearing Zhong Nan's words, a smile slowly rose on the corner of his mouth. It's really good. He hadn't gone to settle accounts with them, and they had found him. He came to see what tricks that woman was going to play this time.

Wen Zhongnan took a sip of tea, stood up and looked at Xia Chan, "Erya, I'll go to the front hall, you eat first." Leave me alone. ”

Eun, you can go with confidence. I'll definitely take care of myself. That's enough to eat. It doesn't matter if you don't come back at noon. It's best to be back in the evening, though. This chicken leg is quite delicious this morning, let the cook in the house make some more in the evening. ”

"Good. If you like it, it's fine. ”

After hearing Zhong Nan finish speaking, he turned around and walked out of the hall, Caiying's eyes widened, and he looked straight at the thing on the table that Xia Chan called a chicken leg. A look of surprise.

"Sister Erya, this mandarin duck leg was brought by the young master from the kitchen in the front yard?"

Xia Chan took the chopsticks and pointed to the chicken leg on the plate, and shook his head, "No, I took it myself." But don't say that this chicken leg is different from other chicken legs. It's delicious. I don't know if it's because the chef is different. I'll be sure to ask this cook another day. Maybe you'll be able to eat my chicken thighs next time. ”

"Chicken legs? Sister Erya, that's a mandarin duck leg. (To be continued.) )
