"Huitong River!" At this moment, dozens of miles away from Xi's family, a group of people was slowly climbing the mound.

Under the mound, there is a wasteland overgrown with weeds, which has withered and yellowed in this season, and the autumn breeze blows, and a golden wave, cascading on top of each other, hugs into the distance.

The old man at the head, with a clear face and a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle, stroked his short beard under his chin, and said with emotion, "If it weren't for the people here to guide the way, who would have thought that this would be the site of the river in the past?" Vicissitudes of life, vicissitudes of life! ”

"Daddy, His Majesty has made up his mind to reopen the canal." A crisp voice came from behind him, and he said with a smile, "I even sent you to preside over this matter in person!" No matter how desolate this scene is, sooner or later it will return to its old appearance. But why should you feel bad? ”

The person who spoke was about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed up for the next generation, but it was difficult to hide the mood of his daughter's family, his skin was like snow, and he looked forward to it, at this moment, because he accompanied the old man to climb the mound, there were some beads of sweat on his forehead, and his cheeks were also red, and he looked very coquettish, and stepped forward to pull his sleeves and coquettishly, "Okay, I've seen it here, let's go to the next place as soon as possible, hurry up and finish this trip, I want to respond to Tianfu to find Sister Jing Yuan to play!" ”

"Even if it is restored to its old appearance, it will not be the original Huitong River." The old man smiled and said, half mocking and half reproaching, "What did you say when you set off with your father? I will be obedient, I will be sensible, I will never bother my father to run errands for His Majesty, and I will do my best to help my father...... As a result, you've only walked a few places, and you're bored? Girl, it's not a good idea for you to talk like this, but you can't! ”

This young woman was obviously spoiled, and when she heard this, she didn't care, and continued to coquettishly say: "How did I know that this road would be so remote? Two days ago, it was easy to find a decent restaurant to eat, and you could also meet the disappointed gentlemen! The most hateful thing is that after inquiring about it in the past two days, everyone outside said that there was a guy who offended us with his eyes! This is really funny: of course, we are traveling with hidden identities this time, and the servants and guards are all with us, who is stupid enough to see our situation, and dare to slack off?! It's clearly a hard pull on the top cylinder of an innocent guy! ”

Speaking of this, she was still a little angry, and snorted lightly, "If it weren't for that Wen Xianyun who was still knowledgeable, I really wanted to clean up this Wen family!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" The old man was originally smiling and looking at her dotingly, but when he heard the last sentence, he frowned and said with a warning, "Don't forget the errand that Your Majesty gave to your father!" ”

Seeing that her daughter looked at herself puzzled, she sighed helplessly, "Is the dredging of the river that you know how to do for your father to come over and run around, and go back and gather craftsmen to do things?" Not to mention that this river has been congested for many years, and there are many changes in the terrain, and now it is a big project to repair it to the point where it can be reopened! Let's just say that His Majesty let the purpose of opening up the North-South Canal...... When we left Ying Tianfu, what kind of quarrel was going on over there, did you hear some of it? ”

"Although His Majesty's attitude is resolute, a considerable number of courtiers in the temple, the powerful and wealthy families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang behind them, including those who have the edict of His Majesty Emperor Taizu to protect their bodies...... Who is not opposed to moving the capital? The old man snorted, "If you can't convince Your Majesty, how can they not do things elsewhere?" The Wen family is the leading family in Dongchang Mansion, and it is also a big family in the whole of Shandong. ”

"If they are willing to support this matter, they will dredge the river, and they will have to get twice the result with half the effort!"

"If they deliberately make trouble...... Although the imperial court has its own thunderous means to clean them up, in the end it is troublesome. ”

glanced at the pouting daughter, and said hesitantly, "That's wrong, my father has already killed those two people who dare to use the family to tease you, and will give Wen Xianyun a chance to make amends?" ”

The young woman said: "Those two gentlemen don't kill, they will definitely go out to tease others in the future!" Others don't have a high-powered elder like you to rely on, and they have to suffer! Wouldn't it be a curse to keep it? ”

He also said, "That Wen Xianyun is different from them, and he looks very polite." In the past two days, I heard from the people below that he was also dedicated, considerate, and recognized as a good character for his fiancée's family...... It's really strange that the two of us are said to be his cousins? A person from a family has such a big gap, and the upbringing of this Wen family obviously still has shortcomings. ”

The old man smiled and said, "That Wen Xianyun is indeed good, but the character is not necessarily...... Girl, you haven't been careful enough to inquire about the news in the past two days: you only know that the two gentlemen who are molesting you are Wen Xianyun's cousins, but you don't know that Wen Xianyun's father and the father of those two brothers competed for the position of the head of the Wen family in their early years. In the end, Wen Xianyun's father won, but it is said that it was very difficult to win at the beginning, so over the years, he has always been on guard, for fear of being overturned by his opponent. ”

"After those two gentlemen offended us, Wen Xianyun was obedient, it seems that as long as we can dissipate our anger, any conditions can be ...... Do you really think he is guilty of such a reckless crime? You must know that all the things he has offered these days are from the pair of unscrupulous parents! ”

"Not only that, no matter what the parents of the pair think, they have to admit that they owe Wen Xianyun a lot of favors!"

"You said that if there is any dispute between the two sides in the future, how can they not be short of breath?"

The young woman was stunned for a while, and then said, "But isn't this what they found themselves?" If you teach your children well early, how can you get into such a disaster? ”

He added, "And the two families had enmity in the past, but Wen Xianyun was still willing to mediate for them, although he was not selfless, he always took the overall situation into account." ”

The old man smiled: "Then I'll tell you one more thing for my father: when you were in Luofengpo before, didn't you still have a little grudge against the Wen family, so after asking who the shops on the most prosperous street over there were, did you say something to beat the Wen family?" What did you do afterwards? ”

Without waiting for his daughter to ask, he first said to himself, "He planned to sell all those shops to his prospective father-in-law!" also bought off his father-in-law's left and right, and instigated that Xi Zongwang to go bankrupt and buy a shop! ”

The young girl's eyes suddenly widened: "What?!" Doesn't he like his fiancée very much?! How could you treat the Yue family like this?! ”

"Like?" The old man said disdainfully, "He has also inquired about the marriage between him and the daughter of the Xi family in the past two days: the only brother of the daughter of the Xi family is the most outstanding reading seed in Dongchang Mansion in recent years, and he is a talent at the age of fifteen, and he is almost the kind of head of the case!" After the Wen family learned the news, they almost entangled themselves in every way to get married! ”

"However, the talent of the reading seed is good, but the blessing is insufficient, and the person is gone to the countryside a few days ago!"

"Without such a promising future brother-in-law, how could the Wen family continue to let Wen Xianyun marry the daughter of the Xi family?"

"It's just that this family affair was agreed by them pestering the Xi family, and it wasn't the Xi family who took the initiative to cling to them! If you quit because the seeds of reading are gone, even if the Wen family is powerful in Dongchang Mansion, the people below will inevitably discuss it! ”

He smiled "hehe", "I don't know if this idea is Wen Xianyun's own or the meaning of the elders in his family, but it is vicious enough!" This is a deliberate attempt to force the Xi family to death, so that they can get out calmly! ”

The young daughter reminded: "Daddy, if Wen Xianyun values reputation very much, the Xi family is in a situation of bankruptcy, if he doesn't care, won't outsiders say the same about him?" ”

The old man laughed: "Girl, you are too naïve! Do you think Wen Xianyun's methods are over here? Look at it, the Xi family will definitely not survive! And Wen Xianyun can take this opportunity to confidently eradicate a group of people he doesn't like! To be honest, this calculation must be all this kid's own thoughts, he is really a talent! If he is willing to follow the father, the father will never do him any wrong! ”

The young girl was unhappy: "If you want to guess it is true, I don't want such a person to follow you!" He's not a good guy! ”

"Good guys?" The old man smiled dumbly and said, "If you think from the position of the Xi family, then Wen Xianyun is certainly not a thing. But if you think about it from the perspective of the Wen family, Wen Xianyun is not an ordinary child of the Wen family, he is the son of the sect! His wife will be the housemother of the Wen family in the future! In this case, he married the daughter of an ordinary squire, and even the old and young of the Yue family, so it would be good not to drag him down! ”

"Do you think this is what Zongzi should do?"

"And if he quits his family, the reputation of the Wen family that has been operating in Dongchang Mansion for many years, shouldn't he cherish it?"

"This man is not a good son-in-law, but he is a qualified son...... So what's wrong with the Father wanting to use him? ”

Seeing that his daughter was still pouting, he shook his head dotingly, "You kid! I said that I wanted to open my eyes with my father, why didn't you like to listen to these ways when I told you these ways seriously? ”

"He's not a good guy anyway!" The maid reached out and grabbed his arm and snorted, "I thought it was a good ...... Who knew it was a well-dressed beast! is so ruthless to the Yue family, what else can't be done? ”

I remembered someone, "It is said that the Shen family brother is also coming here recently?" When the time comes, I will tell him, and let the Shen family brother invite that Wen Xianyun to go to the Jinyi Guard, so that he can know the fate of doing something wrong! ”

"Don't mess around!" The old man straightened his face, "Shen Steallan has received a serious errand to do things this time, this is what the old lady of their family meant, and even got the approval of the crown princess...... It's okay if you disturb your father, if you disturb him, he doesn't care about you, their old lady and the crown princess will be offended! ”

And he said, "Of course, if you are sensible and obedient, and you are bored to be with your father, it is okay to go and play with him...... Anyway, our two families are world friends, and you are also childhood sweethearts, and you are used to playing small, so you don't pay so much attention to it! ”

He said it calmly, but the young woman obviously felt the meaning of matchmaking, and couldn't help blushing, and forcibly diverted the topic: "I don't know what Wen Xianyun's Yue family looks like now?" Poor Miss Xi, I'm afraid that I won't know until I die, what kind of person my well-known fiancé is, right? ”

"If that noble man really has something to do with the imperial court's dredging of the Huitong River, then my Xi family will be more and more dangerous!" didn't know that in the Xi Mansion at this moment, Xi Fuwei was whispering to Xi Lian, "Judging from the fact that the Wen family pampered me after showing off his talents in my brother, they now have a lot of plans to have something to do with the eunuch field." For his brother, a showman can put down his body like this, let alone a noble person who should come from heaven? I suspect that Wen Xianyun has already caught the line of this nobleman, and even has the ambition to marry Ying Tian. In this case, he must not only eradicate me, but also clean it up, so that he will not be able to turn back and marry a noble girl! ”

After all, although the Wen family is second to none in Dongchang Mansion, it is too far behind the nobles on Yingtian's side.

The high-ranking family is not a fool, and it is not impossible to marry a daughter at a low age, but the ability and conduct of the son-in-law must be carefully investigated to avoid encountering a white-eyed wolf.

If Wen Xianyun really had any idea of taking a shortcut because he came into contact with the nobles who came from Ying Tianlai...... Xi Fuwei, as well as the Xi family, are just stumbling blocks in front of him that urgently need to be moved!

This means that the current danger of the Xi family, as well as the possible wind and rain, are even more severe than previously expected!

Xi Fuwei bit her lip and quickly thought about countermeasures.
