The coachman's question made Feng Yawen stunned, holding her cheek with one hand, sitting in a daze, and didn't say anything for a long time.

At this time, Feng Yawen was shocked to realize that although Haizhou was big, there were not many places she could go, she rubbed her eyebrows, and suddenly remembered that a few days ago, she had asked Mrs. Wenzhi Wenyin to inquire about some things, and she didn't know if she asked, sighed lightly, and finally said: "Let's go to Chengdong Xie Mansion first." ”

On the street, a thick layer of snow has already accumulated, the carriage should not go too fast, it can barely pass, Feng Yawen sat in the car, put down the curtain, and could still hear the north wind outside the car, Feng Yawen couldn't help but tighten her body, and her body shrank into the carriage.

The carriage was jolting forward, but Feng Yawen in the carriage couldn't calm down, her current state of mind could really be described as: ---

The heart is like the catkins blowing away, and the body is like duckweed raining down.

Now that she is middle-aged, she is easy to grow old, and Shaohua's fleeting age has become a lonely Qiuyan, a lonely shadow, where is her safe place?

I heard that Yang Bo tossed a hometown chess club in Shenjiabao and got a Mei's trophy, it is said that the prize silver is as high as 10,000 taels, and at the turn of spring and summer next year, the world's game masters will be in Shenjiabao.

Feng Yawen also loves to play chess, and her husband Zuo Wencan is just playing against her, hearing the news of the Asking Township Chess Club, on a whim, she bought a bunch of ancient scores, and played at home when she had time, but she also knew that with her chess skills, she couldn't even be qualified to participate.

However, she played music with great pleasure.

Even she couldn't tell why.

Could it be that the name of the Xiangxiang Chess Club attracted her?

To ask the hometown is to ask you, where is the place of your soul?

This statement fits her state of mind.

Feng Yawen closed her eyes, and that hateful handsome face appeared in front of her eyes, that person was very hateful, looking at her with a smile.

Feng Yawen opened her eyes suddenly, and waved her hand again and again, as if she wanted to drive away the figure in her head, but the person was dead-faced, but she refused to leave.

Thinking about it like this, the carriage had already arrived in the east of the city, and in front of it was Xie Wenzhi's mansion.

There was a tall and thin old servant standing at the door, the manager of the Xie Mansion, who saw the carriage stopped at the door, so he greeted him, and saw that it was Feng Yawen, and he was also surprised, but he didn't expect Feng Yawen to come to visit Xie's house at this time.

Feng Yawen was led by a thin and tall old servant, entered the courtyard gate, passed the flower bed in the front yard, and met a short old servant who was clearing the snow.

"Ma'am." The short old servant saw Feng Yawen walk in, rubbed his hands, bowed down and said: "The weather is cold this year, the snow on this holly must be removed, otherwise, when you get up tomorrow morning, the leaves will freeze as soon as possible, hehe." ”

Feng Yawen just nodded, how could she have the heart to mess with the short old servant today, so she followed the thin and tall old servant to the backyard, where Xie Wenzhi's wife Wen Yin was already waiting under the porch.

"Yawen..."Wen Yin beckoned from afar, and said happily: "This morning, I heard the magpie cry early in the morning, I said what kind of joy there is."

Wen Yin saw that Feng Yawen's face was sad and not very happy, so she stopped talking, welcomed Feng Yawen into the room, and beckoned Feng Yawen to sit down on the chair next to the charcoal fire.

"Yawen, sit here, warm up first." Wen Yin looked at Feng Yawen with a concerned look, "Wait a minute, I'll make a cup of tea." ”

"Wen Yin, don't be busy, I won't sit for long, I'll leave later." Feng Yawen hurriedly waved her hand.

"What's the line? When you come in the snow, you always have to say something, and you are idle when you are idle. ”

Feng Yawen sat down, put her hands on the charcoal brazier and roasted, it was really cold outside, and her hands and feet were cold when she got up and down the carriage.

The fiery red charcoal fire was burning, Feng Yawen suddenly felt that her body was warm, and she raised her eyes and looked around, Xie Mansion was just a two-entry courtyard, this was the main hall, and the furnishings in the house were also ordinary, it seemed that only the table of the Eight Immortals was made of fine mahogany, and the other families were very ordinary, and there were only three men and one woman in the family and four elderly servants.

came to the guests, just like Feng Yawen's visit today, Wen Yin came to make tea by herself, her gestures were quite skillful, it can be seen that this kind of thing is often done by Wen Yin, Feng Yawen looked at it, her heart moved, and said: "Wen Yin, have you ever thought about buying a girl to help you?" ”

Wen Yin took the tea, walked over, handed Feng Yawen a cup, and said with a smile: "There are three old servants at home who take care of it inside and out, and an old mother helps wash and wash it, it's enough, there are not many chores at home, such as making a cup of tea and stir-frying a side dish, I will come by myself, but it is just a gesture, and I have the right to kill time." ”

Feng Yawen took the tea, turned the teacup around in her hand, then took a sip and praised: "Good tea." ”

Wen Yin moved a chair and sat down next to Feng Yawen, but leaned over and said: "This home life, few people are also clean, if I get a little girl, it won't be long before I get angry, and sooner or later I won't have to cheapen my old thing." ”

Wen Yin giggled, she was only a few years older than Feng Yawen, and she obviously had the tone of a person who had come over.

Feng Yawen listened, but her heart tingled, isn't this just right? That kind of thing happened in her family, Zuo Wencan's personality in her heart completely collapsed, but she was shocked and angry, really angry, but not angry.

Feng Yawen had an indescribable expression between her eyebrows, but she just turned the teacup in her hand and was silent for a while.

Wen Yin probably guessed that Feng Yawen rushed over in the wind and snow, something unusual must have happened, but fortunately, she was the kind of woman with a long tongue, and if people didn't say it, she would definitely not go to investigate.

"By the way, Yawen, I asked someone to ask about the last time you asked me to inquire." Wen Yin patted Feng Yawen's hand on her thigh and said.

When Feng Yawen heard this, she looked at Wen Yin with an expectant expression.

"The 2,000 acres of land that your Feng family wants to build in Shenjiabao are not given by Yang Bo, leaving only 500 acres of land."

Feng Yawen said hatefully: "It was Qin Shao who dragged my father to Shenjiabao to fill in the land, but I know that Qin Shao is the chief treasurer of Shenjiabao in Haizhou, but my father went to it, and it was two thousand acres at once, but Yang Bo changed his hexagram, which is really hateful." ”

"Yawen, you are angry, not only did you close the family, but you also found out a lot, and they all returned." Wen Yin said with a smile: "It is said to be related to Yang Bo's new rules, what are the rules?" It is said that there is a distinction between rich and poor, but there is no difference between high and low, which means that you can't separate the rich and the poor from the poor with one wall, and the rich and the poor must learn to coexist. ”

"There is a distinction between rich and poor, but there is no distinction between high and low." Feng Yawen was also confused when she heard this, "What does this have to do with how much land to fill?" ”

"This, I don't understand either, Yang Bo is now fearless, and the people who go to fill in the soil are all lined up, and they don't have a chance to fill in more."

Wen Yin guessed that Feng Yawen still had something in her heart, but she never said it, and Feng Yawen didn't mean to say it, the two chatted for a while, and Feng Yawen got up to say goodbye.

Wen Yin called a tall and thin old servant and sent Feng Yawen to the gate of the courtyard, Feng Yawen came out and said bluntly to the coachman: "Go to Meizhen." ”

The coachman was stunned and said, "Madam, in today's snowy weather, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up at night when I go to Meizhen at this hour." ”

"Less nonsense, catch the car." Feng Yawen said that the gold and iron were cut off, and the coachman had no choice but to obey the order.

Feng Yawen's carriage walked on the front foot, but Xie Wenzhi's carriage arrived, he finished his business in the yamen, rushed back for lunch, got out of the carriage, and saw that the carriage in front of him had just left, and he vaguely recognized it as the carriage of Lord Zuo's family.

Xie Wenzhi wondered in his heart, Lord Zuo's home was behind the mansion, near the Bell and Drum Tower, and the carriage should go west, but this carriage was going east, obviously somewhere else.

When I got home, Mrs. Wenyin was holding a pair of tongs in her hand and was adding charcoal to the charcoal brazier, Xie Wenzhi mentioned this matter, and Mrs. Wenyin also felt strange, and said worriedly: "Go east, where can you go?" It was Feng Yawen in the car, she came to the house just now and sat down, but she didn't say that she was going elsewhere, I thought she was going home. ”

"Twelve miles to the east, there is only one Xiao Chen Zhuang, after Xiao Chen Zhuang, it is Meizhen, Feng Yawen will not go to Meizhen, right?" Xie Wenzhi frowned.

"In this weather, go to Meizhen, can you arrive at night?" Wen Yin couldn't help but worry.

"Yawen has always been safe, I think there must be something hidden in this matter, and we can't guess." Xie Wenzhi thought for a while, and then said: "I think Lord Zuo is still too anxious, I just got the news, Lord Zuo's matter, there is no chance to turn around." ”

Wen Yin was stunned when she heard this, handed the tea in her hand to Xie Wenzhi, and said curiously: "What have you heard again?" ”

"Last time, there was a Han Zanzhou in the palace, and it is said that Yang Bo proposed that if the guards could not solve Liu Er, he could contribute to the court and help eliminate Liu Er." Xie Wenzhi took a sip of tea and sighed: "Now, the official army has suffered a defeat in Xuyi, and Liu Er has taken the county seat of Xuyi, if the court knows, the emperor will definitely be furious, but now, Huai'anwei has no troops to adjust, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, isn't this Yang Bo catching up?" ”

Wen Yin looked dazed, and said strangely: "The officials and soldiers can't do anything about Liu Er, can Yang Bo do it?" ”

Wen Yin didn't know that Xie Wenzhi also had the identity of a third hall master, Xie Wenzhi had seen it in Meizhen at the beginning, Yang Bo's musket battalion was indeed extraordinary, how did Wen Yin know?

"According to what I know about Yang Bo, that kid can really do it."

"If Yang Bo can defeat Liu Er, Lord Zuo will be fine?" Wen Yinwu was puzzled and asked.

Wen Yin obviously didn't understand the joints, Xie Wenzhi had to explain: "If Lord Zuo had an accident, it was originally related to Yang Bo, if the court is willing to use Yang Bo, it means that Yang Bo is not guilty, Yang Bo is not guilty, and Lord Zuo is even more innocent, not only innocent, but also meritorious, with the emperor's will, Lord Zuo also has no way to take Zuo Wencan, so, isn't Lord Zuo nothing?" ”

Xie Wenzhi glanced at Wen Yin, saw her frowning, thoughtful look, and knew that Mrs. would never understand this, so he didn't say more, but picked up the teacup and just drank tea.

Wen Yin was dissatisfied, gently pushed Xie Wenzhi, and said angrily: "The concubine is a woman's family, so naturally I don't understand the twists and turns in the hearts of you officials, but there is one thing, the concubine is aware, but whenever the court uses Yang Bo, it is inevitable that my Lord Xie will go to Shenjiabao again." ”

"Haha.." Xie Wenzhi laughed and said: "Madame is aware of everything, but this time Yang Bo is directly accosting the emperor, the key depends on the emperor's meaning, Yang Bo is not a person who is willing to suffer, if he wants to take action to suppress bandits, I am afraid that the court will also give a reason, so he is willing to move." ”

"Lord Fujun is saying that Yang Bo is going to reach out to the emperor to ask for an official?" Wen Yinqi said.

"Or else?" Xie Wenzhi picked up a tea stalk from his lips with his hand and said casually.

Wen Yin pursed her lips and said, "Ouch, this Yang Bo is really not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

The snow is still falling, as if it will continue to fall, and it will never stop, Xie Wenzhi drank tea, looked at the fluttering snow outside the door, and sighed: "It's just that this year's weather, it's too cold, I'm afraid the canal is frozen, and Han Zanzhou's trip back to Beijing can't be delayed." ”
