Chapter 58: Found Brother Shizi?

Hengyuan scratched his head: "Madam, don't be angry, the master is really busy." ”

"I know." Xu Sawaner, "I made him busy, how could I be angry?" ”

She's just, a little bit sad.

The winter in Longye finally got much colder on this night, the cold wind howled outside the window, and the house was silent. Xu Sa pinched the two red paper bags and looked at them through the candlelight, and said to himself: "Which one did you give me?" Then he laughed again, "Duplicity, don't you still give it to me!" ”

In the end, the two red paper bags were not opened, and Xu Sa pressed them under the pillow.

My fingers were red from the cold, and my nose was a little painful. She rubbed her hands angrily, got into the quilt, and covered Fu Rushen's quilt on herself.

"Why is it still so cold?" Muttering, Xu Sa curled up in the quilt, wiped his eyes and laughed, "Isn't Longye cold?" Liar, my tears are frozen. ”

As if retaliating, he wiped his tears on Fu Rushen's quilt, and Xu Sa slowly closed his eyes.

"Fu Rushen, is it okay to come to my dream?"

"I miss you a little."

Two hours later, it was still light. The night was still chaotic, but there was already a rooster crowing in the distance.

A figure fell in the backyard of the Listening Wind Pavilion, with morning dew on the cloak and blue and black under the eyes.

"Master, you just came back, let's take a good rest first." Hengyuan caught up with him and said in a low voice, "The subordinates of the New Year's money have already given it to Mrs. for you, you can go back and rest first." ”

“…… Still didn't catch up. ”

As if he hadn't heard the guard's words, the figure came to the window, gently lifted a gap, and saw the people inside curled up in a ball, sleeping soundly under a thick quilt, and he sighed slowly.

Hengyuan persuaded: "You still have a lot of confidential matters to deal with, and now it is not good to let Mrs. participate, you only meet Mrs. once and leave, so Mrs. may not be happy." ”

Looking at him, Fu Ru pinched his eyebrows with a deep headache.

"Let's go back to the main building."

Lao Peng's death was like a knife that cut through Longxing Villa, which was still able to maintain peace.

When Fu Rushen returned to the main building, Jiang Xunyi was already waiting for him. Both of them clearly had something to say.

Hengyuan retreated on his own.

"Sit down." After Fu Rushen finished speaking, he also sat in his place, "You speak first." ”

After all, Jiang Xunyi has known him for many years, and Jiang Xunyi is not polite to him, so he sat near him and said, "I contacted the three branches of the old department of Dongchu. ”

Fu Rushen was stunned.

"Already contacted?"

"Well, I also found out after contacting that there were originally three branches in the old department of Dongchu." Jiang Xunyi said, "They have been looking for me all these years, and I know it, isn't it to prevent fraud?" So I first contacted a trustworthy one, who was the only daughter of a general under my father's command. ”

Fu Rushen was surprised: "You found a way to contact her all of a sudden?" ”

"It's easy. Her stronghold was left to her by her mother back then, and she has been hiding it well, but I have an impression. Jiang Xunyi smiled, "I didn't expect that she would be more powerful than I expected." I talked to her twice, and I also benefited a lot from the matter of Dongchu. ”

"That's good." Fu Rushen nodded, "When you have a direction, just say where you need my help." ”

"Thank you, big brother." Jiang Xunyi clenched his fists.

Fu Ru took a deep breath: "As for my side, I have already determined that someone is using me as a gunman." ”

Jiang Xunyi: "Why did the eldest brother say this? ”

“…… Someone took me for a fool. ”

With a helpless smile, Fu Rushen said: "Yesterday, I chased the clues, and I went to check overnight, and found that the person who robbed Lao Peng turned out to have returned to Longye. ”

"He's dumping goods in Longye?" Jiang Xunyi frowned.

Fu Rushen shook his head: "This is not true. They left their goods in a warehouse for the time being. After interrogation, the other party was that there were two people who claimed to be from the old department of Dongchu who came to give them a plan, let them rob the goods, and embarrass Longxing Villa, and they also received a lot of money. ”

Jiang Xunyi gradually put away his smile.

"Sow discord?"

"There's no more reasonable explanation for this." Fu Rushen said lightly, "No matter how neutral we are, what flows in our bones is also the blood of Chudi." Longxing Villa is getting bigger and bigger, and if we don't submit to the court, the court won't feel at ease, and I'm afraid we won't have a few days in the future. ”

Jiang Xunyi stood up, walked to Fu Rushen's table and said, "In the final analysis, the Liao people are too greedy and self-righteous. If you want to get a double harvest for a substitute marriage, the final result will only be that you can't get off the stage. ”

Fu Rushen sighed.

"Actually, I never thought that I would be so stubborn and want to keep Sassa by my side."

It is clear that this move should do far more harm than good to him. It's really not his style.

Jiang Xunyi regained his smile: "The relationship is so wonderful, I ...... I'm glad big brother you finally understand this. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Sister-in-law is very good, you must keep her." ”

"yes, I know." Fu Ru pursed his lips deeply, "Now that the county lord is looking for it, I can probably come up with a few kinds of purposes." It's just that if you want to deal with it, it may take some time. Let's deal with the inventory of goods and the adjustment of the two parties first. ”

Jiang Xunyi bowed, but bent down to pick up the scroll on his desktop.

"There is no need to look for people for the time being, I will take this back first. Thank you big brother for all these years of hard work for me. ”

"Compared to Han Ye, you have already made me worry a lot less." Fu Rushen said.

Jiang Xun smiled, and when he picked up the scroll, two strands of white hair slipped from his shoulders to the front of him.

Fu Rushen hadn't noticed it before, but today he suddenly saw that Jiang Xunyi's picturesque eyebrows and eyes, coupled with his fair and delicate skin and brown eyes, coupled with his three thousand silver waterfalls, he concluded that Xu Sa was lying again.

"If you want to say it's good-looking, you're much better looking than the second owner."

These words were clearly coaxing him.

But what does the saying come about?

My wife's beauty is my own.

…… Can he think so?

His cheeks were a little hot, Fu Rushen coughed lightly, and when he saw that Jiang Xunyi was going out, he pursed his lips and said, "Xiao Jiang, let Hengyuan come in by the way." ”

Jiang Xunyi nodded, walked outside the door and called Hengyuan to enter the door, and stood for a while by the way.

"You go and ask Madame if there is anything lacking during the year, and where she wants to go during this time, let her go, as long as she pays attention to safety and remembers to come back."

Fu Rushen's voice came from inside the house.

Jiang Xunyi hooked the corners of his lips, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes and exhaled softly before turning around and walking out.

On the first night of the year, Xu Sa went first to fulfill the promise of Xiao Fang'er's thousand taels of silver.

The last time she issued a silver ticket, Xiao Fang'er went to buy a lot of cotton clothes and bedding, even if it was still a meal and a camp, at least it could make the people in Lane 12 warmer.

However, helplessly, there are more and more refugees gathering in Lane 12 day by day, and Lane 12 seems to have become a gathering place for refugees and beggars in the surrounding city.

"It's not going to work like this." Xiao Fang'er sat on the wall and pouted, "The court said that it was taking over Chu Land, but in fact, they didn't care about the safety of Chu Land at all. Almost all of the people who marched in the streets are gone, but those who are in charge still refuse to support them, and they simply don't give the people here a way to live. ”

"After all, that happened back then." Xu Sa said, "It's human instinct to ignore people who respond to the diaphragm." ”

Xiao Fang'er frowned: "How can you help them speak?" ”

Xu Sa shrugged innocently: "I'm just saying fair." After all, not only Chudi, but also the streets and alleys of Changliao have many beggars and refugees, and they are not helped. This is a disadvantage of Changliao, but it has been expanded even more in Longye...... If you want to get treatment, either the dynasty changes, or the Chu Di is replaced to uphold justice, and this can only be the case. ”

Xiao Fang'er held her chin and sighed: "Actually, we hate Longxing Villa, not only because he works for the imperial court. It's that he does things for the imperial court, but he didn't think about fighting for a half-official position, and taking back a little sovereignty of Chu Land to regulate things here, do you understand? ”

"Probably understand, after all, your own home is only safe in the hands of your own people?" Xu Sa shook his head, "In short, people live in the world, each has its own difficulties, don't force others too much, just do yourself well first." ”

Xiao Fang'er snorted: "You know how to help your man speak." ”

Xu Sa smiled noncommittally.

"Mainly, he's worth it."

Xu Sa had already inquired with Wei Ruyi, and the Twelfth Lane was indeed being helped by the old department of Eastern Chu, but it was not Wei Ruyi's branch. But after all, it was all her own people, so she gave the silver ticket to Xiao Fang'er with confidence, and then quietly returned to Longxing Villa.

The night was dark, but she didn't have to worry about being spotted when she climbed back into the house through the window. Looking at the quilt that she deliberately arched, and touching the cold inside, Xu Sa smiled and smiled, but couldn't laugh anymore.

Being indulged unrestrained doesn't seem to be so enjoyable.

"Master, do you want to go to the main building to have a look?"

After noon on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xinyu suddenly said to Xu Sa.

Xu Sa was sitting at the table and distracted. As soon as Xinyu said it, she was stunned, and immediately shook her head and said, "No, I said let him handle things well." ”

"But you can't do that." Xinyu stood beside her with her eyebrows drooping, "Slaves and maids can feel that you have gained and lost every day." Even if you used to sleep in the open air, the slave maid has never seen you like this. ”

Xu Sa smiled, drank the tea that had covered his hands for a while, and said, "I'm just worried about what the consequences of Lord Xichun coming here." ”

She is not afraid of being calculated by smart people, but she is afraid of being caught off guard.

also blamed her, she hid too much from Fu Rushen. As a result, he simply did not have the confidence to be with him.

However, when Xinyu said that, the bottom of his heart was like grass, and he was restless. After a while, Xu Sa got up and said, "I'll go to the main building to have a look." ”

Just one look, just one look.

But before she saw it, Xu Sa heard something she didn't want to hear outside the main building.

"You said that Miss Xu sat at the big farmer's place for an afternoon yesterday, and she came here again today, what's the situation?"

The two porters are talking to each other. The other one listened to what the previous one said, shook his head and said: "Who knows, this Miss Xu is also good-looking, and she has her own characteristics with the owner's wife, maybe the big owner has taken a fancy to it again?" ”

"Wouldn't it? The owner of the big farm used to say that he would never marry. ”

"How many reliable words can be said by young and vigorous? Didn't the owner of the village still marry the wife of the owner......"

The two of them kept their voices down. But Xu Sa's ears are pointy. Xinyu saw Xu Sa stop, and asked curiously: "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Then I saw Xu Sa's eyes turn back with a somewhat empty gaze.

"Don't bother him, let's go out and play, I have an intuition, Sister Ruyi shouldn't be busy today."

She laughed.

Xinyu blinked and nodded helplessly: "Listen to you." ”

Wei Ruyi is indeed not busy today. When Xu Sa passed, she was changing the pattern of her wedding dress. Seeing Xu Sa, she hurriedly pulled people up to the second floor, and said apologetically: "Sasa, I heard Jiu'er say that you came to me the day before yesterday." ”

"yes. But you're busy, so I won't bother you. Xu Sa smiled faintly.

After observing her for a while, Wei Ruyi asked worriedly, "Did you encounter anything troublesome?" ”

"Huh? Did you find out? Xu Sa was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just that the county lord of Xichun has come to Longye, and now he is in Longxing Villa." Now that my stay is in her hands, I'm just a little uncomfortable. ”

Wei Ruyi pursed her lips, pulled her to sit down, made her a pot of tea, and took out the snacks she made: "Sasa, do you want to stay by Master Fu's side now?" Are you emotional? ”

“……”

Xu Sa was stunned for a while before asking, "How do you know?" ”

Wei Ruyi lowered her eyes and raised them again, smiled and asked rhetorically: "How many years have Sister Ruyi been friends with you?" ”

Xu Sa pinched a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, realizing that she didn't know the taste of food.

Swallowing reluctantly, she asked, "Sister Ruyi, do you think I'm making a fool?" Fu Rushen didn't know anything about my identity, and I was really bold enough to dare to have the idea of being with him...... Longxing Villa does not hesitate to ruin part of its reputation, but it is also necessary to stand neutral, and it is impossible for me to bear the identity of the outer maid of the Marquis of Xichun for the rest of my life...... The two of us simply can't be tolerated. ”

Wei Ruyi poured tea for her and sighed lightly: "He doesn't know what you think about him, right?" ”

What if he knew? Impressed? Decided to join me against the whole world? With a grin, Xu Sa shook his head, "I may not have much confidence." ”

"Then you can be confident." Wei Ruyi was suddenly solemn.

She looked at Xu Sa seriously and said, "Sasa, Sister Ruyi has good news to share with you...... We got in touch with Chu Shizi. ”

Xu Sa sipped the tea for a long time, blinked innocently, and only after a long time did he react to what Wei Ruyi said, and immediately put down the teacup and stood up: "Found it!?" ”

"It was the prince who took the initiative to find me." Wei Ruyi said, "Maybe it's because I rebuilt the Ruyi Building." He remembered this place, and he came to recognize me. After all, we had met a few times when we were young. ”

Xu Sa stayed for a while with his mouth half-open, still feeling incredible.

"It's been more than ten years, so he's still alive?"

"Well, and he is not doing nothing, but is living well, and he is also looking forward to rehabilitating Dongchu, which is simply the best news I have heard in years." Wei Ruyi said, "The prince is still here, and we can do even more." As long as we find evidence and clear up the grievances for Hou Ye, maybe we can change the status quo in Chudi. ”

"That's nice." Xu Sa was happy for Wei Ruyi, "Suddenly you have a backbone, and you will have more confidence in the future." ”

After a pause, she grabbed the back of her neck and smiled: "Hey, I'm also a little happy, the decision back then was right, Brother Shizi didn't embarrass me......"

Wei Ruyi smiled faintly and patted Xu Sa's shoulder: "Thank you, Sasa." ”

"No thanks, I'm tired of hearing it all these years!" Xu Sa flattened his mouth, "But then again, where is Brother Shizi now?" I'm curious, I don't know what has become of him. ”

“…… I can't tell you about this yet. Wei Ruyi pressed her shoulder and asked her to sit down, "In short, Sasa, you just need to know that the prince is back, and if something happens in the future, he can also carry it for you." So you can go the way you like, and you can be a little more confident. ”

Can't say? Xu Sa was a little regretful.

However, she did not join the old department of Eastern Chu, so it is understandable that she could not know the key information. Xu Sa didn't bother much, only shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's talk about my business." ”

The depression in her heart dissipated a little, and she also pulled Wei Ruyi to get down to business: "Then again, Sister Ruyi, I sent you a letter to ask you about King Huai'an before, because when transporting the spirit jade, I heard Huai Shizi say something......

It wasn't until it was getting dark that Xu Sa left from Ruyi Building. Before leaving, I told Wei Ruyi a bunch of conjectures about her, and by the way, I also took Wei Ruyi a box of pastries.

Wei Ruyi sent the person away, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around and went to the dark room: "Shizi." ”

The door of the dark room opened, and someone came out of it, it was Jiang Xunyi.

Looking at the loneliness in Jiang Xunyi's eyes, Wei Ruyi said: "Actually, you should tell her your identity, she is very strict, don't worry about leaking." ”

"Still can't." Jiang Xunyi smiled slightly, wiped away her superfluous emotions and said, "She is doing well now, she doesn't need me, and I ...... I don't have any qualifications to recognize her. ”

"Shizi." Wei Ruyi pursed her lips, "You don't have to blame yourself too much for what happened back then, Sasa never blamed you." ”

"I know." Jiang Xunyi's smile became deeper and deeper, and he skimmed his gaze away from the beginning, "I just can't figure out why I was so weak at that time, I couldn't even move my steps at a critical moment, and I asked her to save me......"

If he had been a little calmer, her brother might have survived......

For more than ten years, he has tempered himself thousands of times, frantically looking for her, eager to make up for something. But he didn't find her, it was she who took the initiative to appear in front of him. She didn't need him anymore, she already had someone else by her side.

Fate is not enough...... It's his blessing.

"It's enough for me to see Sassa still the same as before." He said, "Right now, I just want to give her a justice to the Xu family and a peace in Chudi." ”

Wei Ruyi was silent, and then saluted respectfully: "My subordinates are willing to help the prince fulfill his grand wish." ”

Xu Sa carried the snacks from Ruyi Lou and walked straight to Longxing Villa, but as soon as he entered the gate, he was stopped by a "sister-in-law".

Xu Sa stopped and found that Han Ye was following her, with a smile on her face: "Sister-in-law just came back from outside?" ”

"yes." Xu Sa replied lightly.

She hadn't forgotten what Han Ye had done to stop her from dartging before. Although Han Ye did the right thing, and she didn't get angry, some things are just very strange, and some people just have the desire to punch him twice in the face when you see it.

Han Ye was obviously used to being coldly frozen, and he didn't mind, so he came up with a hippie smile: "Sister-in-law came back with pastries?" Which building did you do in that building? Third brother, I just came back from an errand, and my stomach is so hungry that I scream, why don't you give me a taste? ”

"Oh? Listening to the third brother's taste, I don't know if you are used to eating the pastries from this Ruyi Building. Xu Sa said and opened the food box and pinched a piece for him, "Taste?" ”

"Ruyi Building?" Han Ye was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then took the dim sum and swallowed it in half a bite, nodding with a satisfied expression, "It's delicious!" ”

"Then you eat more?" Xu Sa smiled lovingly, presented him with the remaining pastries in the food box, and said generously, "I see that you are also hungry, why don't you eat them all?" ”

"Okay!" It could be seen that Han Ye was really hungry, so he happily picked up the pastries and stuffed them into his mouth one by one, and said, "I didn't know that there was a new dim sum shop in the city called Ruyi Lou, and the cook was good." ”

Xu Sa didn't answer, just watched him eat with a smile, watching him eat more and more slowly.

The pastry made by Wei Ruyi tastes first-class, but it also has shortcomings, it is too easy to make people thirsty and too easy to be full.

"Ahem, Hiccup!" When there was still half of the food left, Han Ye hiccuped, and there was a retreat in his eyes, "Sister-in-law, I'm full, thank you for your hospitality." ”

"Don't, you keep eating." Xu Sa smiled slightly, "This box of pastries was originally brought to your eldest brother by my sister-in-law." You've eaten so much, and there are still a few pieces left, and I can't give them to him again, so you can eat them all. ”

"Don't, don't?" Han Ye quietly took a step back, "Such a delicious pastry, what a waste it is for me to eat it alone, I want to eat it in the future and buy it myself, hiccup!" ”

After saying that, the person disappeared.

"Master, why did you give the dim sum for the big farmer to the third farmer?" Xinyu finally dared to stand up and speak, "Half of this is left, you can't take it again." ”

"Then don't take it, he doesn't know anyway." Xu Sa said lightly, turned around and gave the food box to Xinyu, "You can take it and eat it, if you can't finish eating, bring some to Hengyuan, and when he asks you, he said that he bought it outside." ”

"Okay......" Xinyu flattened her mouth.

"You're still reluctant to give you food?" Xu Sa raised his eyebrows and raised his voice.

"No, no! The slave maid was flattered, but she felt that she might not be able to finish eating, and she didn't want to bring it to Hengyuan. Xinyu's voice became smaller and smaller, "I don't know him well......"

Xu Sa walked in front with his hands, listened to Xinyu's words, and looked at the dark sky.

Originally, she wanted to bring Fu Rushen to eat. But I didn't see him until I entered the door...... Even if it's angry and blaming her for coming back late? Nor did it.

If only he was on business. But what she heard was that Xu Guanyue had been with him all along.

Thinking that the person who really worshipped him was not her, but Xu Guanyue, Xu Sa felt uncomfortable. I don't want to bring snacks anymore. I just want to go back to Tingfeng Pavilion and sleep.

However, what she didn't know was that Han Ye ate her snacks, and after slipping away, she went to see Fu Rushen.

"Big brother, big brother!" Pushing the door into the room, he began to shout, Han Ye hurriedly ran to Fu Rushen's table, panting and said, "I found the big secret!" ”

"What's the matter, panic?" Fu Rushen was writing a letter, and the movements in his hands did not stop.

Han Ye sat cross-legged beside him and asked mysteriously, "Big brother, you know, I was taken by the second brother to the branch station of the old department of Dongchu that was responsible for searching early this morning. ”

"Yes." Fu Rushen replied lightly, "So what?" ”

Han Ye raised a fist and slammed it on his leg, and his tone suddenly deepened: "Guess what? ”

"Say."

“…… That station is Ruyi Building! ”

Fu Rushen finally raised his eyes and looked at Han Ye, who had a strange expression: "You mean, Ruyi Building is run by people from the old department of Eastern Chu?" ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter." Han Ye sighed and said, "The point is, I went over today, the boss lady was not there, so I didn't accompany the second brother there, and I went to do things first." ”

"The result...... When I went back in the evening, I saw my sister-in-law walking out of the Ruyi Building with a box of snacks! ”
