Dear friends, it's almost the end of the month, and the monthly pass is chasing~

------Off topic------

Cui Yizhi opened the curtain and took a look, said hello to Xie Mohan, and the carriage went out of the south gate together.

The carriage arrived at the South City Gate very smoothly, and Cui Yizhi's carriage was already waiting there.

The carriage envoy left the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and headed towards the south city gate, and the only person who left with Xie Mohan was Tingyan.

Xie Fanghua wanted to send it himself, but Xie Yunlan said that he would go out of the city and go back to the house to get some things to use with him, after all, at least in the future, Xie Mohan will live in the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong for at least two months after leaving Beijing, so the two of them sent Xie Mohan and Cui Jing out of the city together.

Zhongyonghou, Cui Jing, Cui Yun, Xie Mohan, Xie Yunlan, and Xie Fanghua had lunch together, and this meal was eaten for a full hour, and after the meal, Xie Mohan and Cui Jing set off together and went to Linfen Town.

Xie Mohan was thoughtful, knowing that she was afraid that she wanted to see Cui Yizhi, so she nodded, "It's okay!" ”

Xie Fanghua thought for a while, "I'll send you and your grandfather out of the city in a while!" ”

"Come with me!" Xie Mo said.

Xie Fanghua's face was slightly cold, remembering that Cui Yizhi was ordered to accept Qin Yu on his face, but behind him, Li Muqing took a secret order to greet him. The royal family seems to be the best at making the open and secret decrees together, and the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch behind. She said, "Brother, is Cui Yizhi going with you?" ”

"It's not necessarily that there is no secret order in private." The Marquis of Zhongyong curled his beard, "After all, the emperor is the best at this trick." ”

Xie Fanghua frowned, "Did he push Cui Yizhi to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion?" ”

"You don't know the emperor, he just hasn't understood Cui Boy, this kid is a thoughtful master, I don't know what idea to fight, say that he is towards the royal family, no. Say that he is heading towards the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, I can't see it. I don't dare to use it for a while. So, let him go out with your brother. Zhongyong Hou said, "If you let it go like this, the position of the squire of the military department is not his, for the time being." ”

Xie Fanghua asked him about entering the palace, and the emperor sent Cui Yizhi to him as his deputy. She was surprised for a moment and asked, "What is the emperor's idea?" ”

At noon, Xie Mohan came back from the palace, and the three of them went to Rongfutang together.

In the past half a day, Xie Fanghua stayed with Cui Jing, and together with Cui Yun, the three of them talked and laughed, said something else, and passed by in a flash.

Cui Yun looked at the corners of Xie Fanghua's mouth twitching, and couldn't help but laugh.

Xie Fanghua's face twitched, if she said that it was a big wedding, she still thought it was possible, if she had a child...... Forget it!

Cui Jing looked at her appearance and laughed, "It's better to hug the baby!" I can have great-grandchildren, too. ”

Xie Fanghua blushed.

Cui Jing nodded, "I hope that when I come back, you and Zheng Boy will already be married!" ”

"Then you must pay attention to your body and take care of yourself." Xie Fanghua said.

"I don't need to!" Cui Jing waved his hand, "Ever since the Purple Cloud Daoist left Wuli Mountain, I've been used to being alone all these years. Besides, it's not all alone, along the way, I will also visit famous mountains and rivers and meet some Taoist friends. I'm too troublesome for you to send someone to follow. Forget it. ”

"How difficult it must be to have no one with you!" Xie Fanghua muttered, "That's it! I'll send two people to accompany you all the way! ”

"A year and a half, two years at most!" Cui Jing said, "The poison of burning the heart on Yunlan's body, I will take the time to see if there is any solution." ”

Xie Fanghua was speechless and withdrew from his arms, even if he joked, she was in a bad mood, "When will you come back?" ”

Cui Jing smiled, "You little girl!" If Qin Zheng's stinky boy sees it, I'm afraid he will even eat my vinegar. ”

Xie Fanghua entered the house, put down the umbrella, and reluctantly walked over to hug Cui Jing, "Grandpa, I can't bear you." ”

When she found Cui Jing, Cui Jing was talking to Cui Yun, and when they saw her coming, they both greeted her with a smile.

Xie Fanghua also felt that he was not in the mood today, turned around and walked out of Rongfu Hall, and went to find Cui Jing.

Xie Yunlan smiled and nodded.

Xie Fanghua looked at Xie Yunlan.

"Stinky girl, you go to your grandfather for half a day, your brother is about to leave, and it will be afternoon. Yunlan will stay here to play chess with me, and you will take care of the housework and look at the account book this day, and talk about it tomorrow! "Loyal and brave Marquis.

Xie Fanghua waved his hand at him, he went down to prepare Xie Mohan's travel bag, this trip will take two months, although the capital is not far from Linfen Bridge, only a hundred miles, but Xie Mohan also has to supervise the project, there is no way to return to Beijing.

The waiter nodded.

Xie Fanghua stopped when he heard this, "Since my brother has arranged everything, then forget it, let Tingyan follow!" ”

The waiter shook his head, "Miss, the prince ordered me to stay in the mansion earlier, I am the housekeeper in this mansion, just listen to him and take it." When the words fell, seeing that Xie Fanghua was not at ease, he said in a low voice, "In addition to the eight handmaidens trained by Miss Shizi, he himself has eight secret guards, all of which are first-class. And there are also two hidden guards in our house, one is taken away by the prince and the other is left. It's all arranged. ”

Xie Fanghua thought about it after Xie Mohan left, called the waiter, and said to him, "You better follow your brother to Linfen Town!" You have waited by his side for many years, and you have won his heart more than you have heard. ”

After the meal, Xie Mohan immediately entered the palace.

The four of them sat down to eat.

Xie Mohan nodded.

"Where is there so much anxiety? Your grandfather, I'm not old enough to move! Zhongyong Hou waved his hand, "Let's eat!" After dinner, you will enter the palace and ask the emperor if there is anything else he has to order, if he doesn't, you can leave for Linfen Town. ”

Xie Mohan shook his head, "It should be enough." After I leave Beijing, you just need to take care of the house and take over the general affairs. The words fell, and he said, "Originally, I didn't feel at ease, but since Yunlan is here, I can rest assured that he will help you." ”

Xie Fanghua saw that Xie Mohan had been settled, and it seemed that he was planning to leave today. She couldn't say anything more, she just said, "Brother, do you have enough manpower?" If that's not enough, I'll have someone to transfer it to you! ”

Xie Yunlan smiled, glanced at Xie Fanghua, and nodded, "It's okay!" ”

"Yunlan will move to the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion in the future! You don't have to worry about Qin Zheng, he has to go to the barracks after he recovers from his injuries, only his sister and grandfather are in the house, he is also not at ease, with you, he is more at ease than the calculation of the person in the palace. Xie Mo said vaguely.

Xie Fanghua nodded.

"Uncle was going back to the Boling Cui clan, but the emperor didn't allow it. Although he was dismissed from the position of general of Wuwei, he is still a person in the court, and he can't just leave before the emperor spits out. Uncle meant to stay in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion first, and now I go to Linfenqiao, with my uncle and Yunlan, I don't feel at ease. ”

Although Xie Fanghua saw that Marquis Zhongyong was blowing his beard and glaring at her, what he said was the truth, and the reluctance in his heart dissipated a little, and he smiled, "It's the same." Then he asked, "What about my uncle?" What's the plan? ”

"Bastard girl, you haven't been with me well since you returned to Beijing, have you? You have a lot of things to do every day. Even if he stays in the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, how many days can you accompany him? Marquis Zhongyong couldn't get used to Xie Fanghua's face, and glanced at her, "It's just like going to Meizu, although he is thousands of miles away, his legs and feet are tough, and he can return in two years." ”

Xie Fanghua was even more reluctant, "When I returned to Beijing from my grandfather, I actually haven't accompanied my grandfather well. ”

Xie Mohan nodded, "Well, that's what Grandpa intended." ”

Xie Fanghua breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "Then I'm relieved." When the words fell, she said a little reluctantly, "But is my grandfather about to leave from Linfen Bridge?" ”

Xie Mohan nodded, seeing that she was not very satisfied, he said gently, "Grandpa said to follow me together and help me look at my body a little, while he also happens to know some things about bridges, and he can also help me." ”

Xie Fanghua frowned, "Do you want to leave today?" ”

Xie Mohan smiled, "It's okay, sister, don't worry, even if you set off today, you won't be afraid." ”

Xie Fanghua pouted at him in no mood, looked at Xie Mohan, and saw that although his face was a little pale and his breath was a little weak, there was no sorrow between his eyebrows, knowing that he already had a way to deal with it, his heart was slightly relieved, and he walked over and asked, "Brother, how do you feel about your body?" ”

"Stinky girl! You dare to say such rude words! Hearing this, Marquis Zhongyong raised his head, looked at the door, and glared at Xie Fanghua, "I'm not afraid that Yunlan will laugh at you!" ”

Xie Fanghua snorted coldly when he heard this, "Dogs can't change eating!" ”

When Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan stepped into the threshold, they only heard the Marquis Zhongyong say with emotion, "When the descendants of our Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion first entered the court, the emperor will give us a big problem, how many years and generations of emperors, how many rules have been changed, but this unwritten rule has not changed." ”

When he came to Rongfu Hall, Xie Mohan had already received the holy decree and arrived at Rongfu Hall, and the Marquis of Zhongyong was sitting at the table looking at the holy decree.

The two went to Rongfutang together with umbrellas.

Xie Fanghua nodded.

"It stands to reason that he should rest for more time, but the emperor obviously doesn't give him time to rest." Xie Yunlan sighed, "I'll go to Rongfu Hall with you." ”

Xie Fanghua nodded, "My brother has received the holy decree, he should go to Rongfu Hall, and the construction of the Linfen Bridge cannot be delayed, I'm afraid my brother will leave in the next two days, I'll go and see if his body is okay and whether he can stand it." ”

Not long after, she came to Zhilan Garden, and saw Xie Yunlan walking out of a road on the west side of Zhilan Garden with an umbrella, and when she saw her, she smiled at her, "You want to go to Rongfu Hall?" ”

Xie Fanghua walked over, and the hem of her skirt was a little wet.

There is a drainage ditch in the Chungyong Marquis' Mansion, so even if it rains heavily, the blue stone brick floor does not accumulate much water because the rain and snow were taken into account when the houses and roads were built.

After she freshened up, the bustle in front of her vaguely dissipated, and she took an umbrella in the painting hall and went out of the room.

Xie Fanghua stood in front of the window and watched for a while, and heard the faint sound of rain coming from the door of the mansion in front of him, "The holy decree has arrived!" Then he turned around and went to freshen up.

The waiter answered, and hurriedly held an umbrella out of the Begonia Garden.

"Well, I'm not laughing at you anymore!" Xie Fanghua turned his head, looked out the window, and said to her, "You go and call my brother back, just say I know." After a pause, he added, "After he receives the holy decree, he should go to Grandpa's Rongfu Hall first and tell him that I will go later." ”

When the waiter's words fell, she blushed when she saw Xie Fanghua smiling at her, "Miss, what the slave said is true, you laugh at me!" ”

Xie Fanghua raised her eyes and glanced at the waiter, and when she saw her puffing out her cheeks, her eyes were firm, and she immediately smiled. She hadn't noticed that the painting was so cute. They are also at the age of high liveliness and spirit, and what has been suppressed by her brother's training since childhood, as long as she slowly releases their individuality, it will always be revealed.

Hearing this, the waiter straightened his chest, and said with a breath of anger in his heart, "Miss is right!" The slave maid and the others must protect the young lady and the old prince well. ”

"I'm afraid he won't deal with me!" Xie Fanghua's face was cold, and there was a faint mockery in his eyebrows, "Don't think that the old and weak women and children are easy to bully!" ”

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief, "But the prince is transferred out of Beijing, if the second prince of Zheng is not in the city, what if the emperor takes the opportunity to deal with you and the old marquis?" ”

"What else can I do?" Xie Fanghua disagreed, "Although the Linfen Bridge is difficult to build, it is not impossible to complete it within two months, after all, the meridians of Southern Qin, Shinong Industry and Commerce are indeed in our Xie family." A good bridge craftsman, if others in the court can't invite him, his brother can also have a way to invite him. Practicing day and night, if nothing happens, is also feasible. ”

The waiter became even more nervous when he heard this, "That...... Miss, what should I do! ”

After hearing this, Xie Fanghua pondered for a moment and smiled, "The emperor is the emperor in the end, and it is worthy of being cunning to be able to hold the Southern Qin Jiangshan in his hands for so many years." Qin Zheng was going to the camp in Xishan, so he gave Qin Yu to participate in politics, and sent his brother to Linfen Bridge, and he left for two months. If he doesn't give the order, in addition to disrespecting the decree, there is another point, that is, he will not want to enter the court again in the future. As long as my brother wants to enter the court, he must respond to this holy decree, and after he leaves, my grandfather and I will be left. Grandpa is old, and I'm always a woman. Qin Zheng can't come back in three days when he goes to the Xishan camp, and his brother is not there, so he is also in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, which is really a good calculation. ”

"The holy decree given to the second son of Zheng was to order him to go to the Xishan camp for training after he recovered from his injury, and he was not given an official position, only to sharpen his temperament. The holy decree given to the four princes was also not conferred an official position, and he was allowed to follow the right phase to participate in politics. The waiter said dissatisfied, "In the end, it was the emperor's son, the second son of Zheng broke the Dragon Gate Formation and was so seriously injured that he got this, and our son, integrating the entire Xie family, handed over so many silver taels for construction, anyway, it gave a big problem." On the other hand, the four princes don't have to do anything, and follow the right phase to learn to participate in politics, which is the easiest. ”

After a while, Xie Fanghua asked again, "What do the other two holy decrees say?" ”

Seeing that the young lady was silent, the waiter thought that he should be thinking of a way to deal with it, so he was silent and didn't dare to disturb her.

Xie Fanghua was silent.

"But there's no such thing! How can it be completed in two months? The waiter said urgently.

"Since the holy decree has been issued, and the news has been spread in the palace, how can the holy decree that has been issued by the court in front of the civil and military officials be withdrawn? At this time, not only our mansion has gotten the news, but all the mansions in the capital should also get the news. Xie Fanghua said, "I can only continue." The Marquis of Zhongyong cannot openly disrespect the decree. ”

The waiter's tone changed, and he asked nervously, "Miss, the holy decree is about to arrive, so what should I do?" Is there a way to make the son not accept this will? ”

Xie Fanghua sneered, "If the matter is successful, the official will be rewarded, and if it is not done, it will be punished." ”

"Didn't say how!" The waiter sighed.

"What if it doesn't work out?" Xie Fanghua asked.

It is said that he gave the prince a holy order, gave the post of squire of the Ministry of Works, and ordered the prince to go to Linfen Town and repair the Linfen Bridge within two months. If the matter is done, the emperor will be rewarded again. The waiter glanced at Xie Fanghua, and his tone was a little angry, "Your Majesty, this is a big problem for our son." Now that the rain is so heavy, everyone knows that the Linfen Bridge is going to delay the construction period. But the emperor let the prince go at this time. ”

Xie Fanghua narrowed her eyes, "What kind of holy decree?" ”

The waiter nodded, "It is said that a holy decree is for the prince, a holy decree is for the second prince of Zheng, and a holy decree is for the fourth prince." ”

"Three Divine Decrees?" Xie Fanghua turned his head and looked at the painting.

The waiter pushed open the door and entered the house, put down the umbrella, and said to Xie Fanghua, "Just now there is news in the palace that the emperor has already issued three holy decrees, one of which is for our Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and the person who delivered the decree should come to our mansion soon." Shizi Rang heard that Yan had just come to spread the word, saying that with such a heavy rain, even if the holy decree came later, you didn't have to go out. ”

Xie Fanghua responded.

"Miss?" The waiter stood under the eaves with an umbrella and asked softly.

I don't know how the emperor's anger will shake the government and the opposition.

In order to kill Qin Yu, they invested a lot of money, and the Xie family erased the mistakes they made in order to contain Qin Yu, but can the emperor not be angry? If I hadn't been too angry earlier, I'll be angry when I see this rain today.

Concubine Liu and Concubine Shen, the Liu family and the Shen family, now that they see such a rain, they don't know how they will feel.

The thousands of acres of land near Linfen Bridge cannot afford to delay, and 10,000 households cannot afford to delay.

If it is not complete, the construction period will be delayed.

After the heavy rain, if the Linfen Bridge starts again, it will take a lot of effort because of the rain for three days, and the things that have been prepared earlier may not be completely washed away by the heavy rain.

Such heavy rain has been raining for a day yesterday, if it continues to fall, Linfen Bridge can no longer be built in the rain, so it can only be stopped. Obviously, with such a sky and such rain, it looks like it will rain for at least two more days.

After Xie Fanghua got up, she stood in front of the window and looked at the sky, and her eyebrows couldn't help but be as dark as the sky.

It rained for a day and night, and the next day it was still dark, and the heavy rain did not stop, which was quite lingering and going down.

Xie Yunlan has no objection to this.

Although Xie Yunlan refused to live in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion all the time, Xie Fanghua thought about it, and still sent someone to clean up Fangcaozhai, giving Xie Yunlan the opportunity to live there occasionally when it was too late and the rain and snow were too big, similar to today, when it was inconvenient to rush back to the mansion.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong is large, there are few people, there are many courtyards, and there is a Fangcao Zhai near Zhilan Garden.

It rained too much that day, and although Xie Yunlan discussed it with Xie Fanghua, he was still placed in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion that night.
