The Zhuangzi arranged by Fu Yuanling for Aunt Zhao is far away from the property of Bofu, so it is not easy for the Shi family to trouble Aunt Zhao, and there is water in front of the mountain with Zhuangzi back, which is a place with good scenery.

If you are bored in the Zhuangzi, you can come out and walk, dissipate and dissipate.

After sending off Aunt Zhao, Fu Yuanling did not return to the palace, but went directly to Jingchunfang to take a look, the Fu family was busy a few years ago, the bonus silver of the big and small stewards, the New Year's reward money of the craftsmen who worked below, and the New Year's Closed Lamp Market was very busy.

Fu Yuanling went around for a while, and Yuan Zhi and Yuan Xin hurriedly greeted him, "Big girl, why are you here?" ”

Fu Yuanling looked at the two of them and asked with a smile, "Are the family okay?" Are the children settled? ”

Yuan Zhi said with a smile: "There is nothing to settle, there is a mother-in-law at home, and there is a little girl to do housework, so don't delay things." ”

The monthly salary of the big steward like them is high every year, and there is bonus silver at the end of the year, and it is not appropriate to raise a few people in the family, and they can only enjoy such blessings with the eldest girl.

Fu Yuanling asked a few words about the annual closure of the light market, and knew that everything was almost ready, so he didn't say anything, after all, he was used to doing it every year.

Yuan Xin followed behind the princess and said softly: "Someone from the slave's family came to visit, holding a very heavy gift, and asked about you and the princess. ”

Fu Yuanling's footsteps stopped suddenly, and he turned his head to look at Yuan Xin, "When did it happen?" ”

"Yesterday's incident, the slave maid still wanted to go to the palace to return to you today, but I didn't expect the eldest girl to come first." Yuan Xin said softly, but there was a ruthlessness in his expression, "The mother-in-law at home doesn't know the severity, but fortunately, she doesn't know much about things, and she can't say anything important. ”

Yuan Zhi and Yuan Xin's in-laws are both in charge, what kind of vision can be a mother-in-law, Fu Yuanling was not angry, just looked at Yuan Xin and asked, "What is the main question?" ”

"It's also strange, just ask about your daily preferences, what you eat, what you wear, what you use, and sometimes ask a few words about you and the crown princess."

Fu Yuanling frowned slightly, "Do you know who it is?" ”

"The people who came were very cautious, and the mother-in-law didn't ask where they came from." Yuan Xin said with a sigh.

"Then pay more attention, if someone still comes to the door, ask someone to secretly follow and check the way."

"The slave and maid also think so, there are already people left at home."

Fu Yuanling nodded and looked at Yuan Zhi next to him, "Have you encountered it over there?" ”

Yuan Zhi shook his head, "No." ”

Fu Yuanling thought thoughtfully, looked at the two of them and said: "Pay more attention to the movement of the shop recently, see if there are any strangers coming to set up close, don't recruit people in the shop before the New Year." ”

"Yes." The two responded in unison.

Fu Yuanling had something in his heart, and he didn't wait for Qi Ruo to come back before he returned to the palace first.

Xiao Jiuqi hadn't come back yet, and after Laba, the prince sent Xiao Jiuqi an errand and asked him to collect debts for the imperial court.

That's right, it's debt collection.

Every prefecture and county has to owe the tax and silver of the household department every year, some places are really poor, some places are because of natural disasters, but some places are purely reliant on debts, and they are unwilling to hand over the money to the imperial court to cry poor.

At the end of each year, the collection of taxes is also the most headache for the household, this year there is King Jin out of the horse, and the household is still walking with the wind.

If such a bad star asks for an account, who dares not to give it?

This year, the household department can have a fat year, but it is not to be happy.

Fu Yuanling knew that the prince had no choice, and he was afraid that he would make a fool of himself if he sent someone else, so he would go back and get some silver and come back to pay the errand.

This is the first year after the crown prince became the prince, so he naturally wants to do his best.

Therefore, Xiao Jiuqi's big killer weapon came in handy.

So after entering Layue, Xiao Jiuqi ran around, and the couple hadn't seen each other for half a month.

Xiyue heard her mother's movement, so she ran out of the house, Fu Yuanling hurriedly held her hand, "What are you doing running out so cold?" ”

"I want to see my mother." Xiyue patted her little head, "It's conceivable." ”

Fu Yuanling bent down and picked up his daughter, now the little guy is a little heavy, and it is a little difficult to hold.

Putting his daughter on the warm couch, Fu Yuanling took off his big coat, and without waiting to take a breath, Midsummer came in and said, "Princess, Xue Ningshuang asked to see her, and I have been waiting for a long time." ”

Fu Yuanling was stunned for a moment, and randomly remembered what Xue Ningshuang had told her before, is there a clue?

"Call someone in." Fu Yuanling said, turning his head to look at Xiyue, "Can you follow the nurse to play next door?" Wait for your mother to finish playing with you. ”

Xiyue was unhappy, "I'm busy every day, and I'm even busy when I come back, and my father is nowhere to be seen." ”

Fu Yuanling hugged his daughter, "Then are you good here?" ”

As soon as Xiyue heard that she didn't let herself go, she immediately nodded, "Okay, I promise to be good." ”

Fu Yuanling rubbed his daughter's little face, "Our Xiyue is the most well-behaved." ”

Xiyue fell on the soft pillow on the warm couch and giggled with laughter, Fu Yuanling moved her own small box over, which was full of her gadgets, including those given to her by her and Xiao Jiuqi, and the two brothers who gave them to her, all of them were her little treasures.

Xiyue really held the small box and played on the side, and her obedient appearance made Fu Yuanling feel very guilty.

Xue Ningshuang came quickly, and saluted first when she entered the door, "The slave maid pays a visit to the princess." ”

Although Fu Yuanling didn't let her call herself a slave, Xue Ningshuang refused, so she went with her, looking at the people and saying to Zhongchun with a smile: "Move a stool for Ningshuang." ”

Xue Ningshuang hurriedly said that she didn't dare, Zhongchun had already come with a brocade in her arms, and said with a smile: "Miss Xue, sit down." ”

Xue Ningshuang sat down a little stiffly, then looked at the princess and said, "The slave came because of what happened last time, and this time she is a little eyebrows." ”

Fu Yuanling nodded, "How's the investigation?" ”

Zhongchun took the people in the house out to guard the door, Xue Ningshuang calmly spoke: "Princess, Zhang Cheng said that the results you asked Lang Zhong to see were right, those dead cats and dogs were indeed chronically poisoned. ”

Fu Yuanling's face was ugly, last time Zhang Cheng risked the danger to send some cat and dog corpses out, Fu Yuanling asked Lang Zhong to carefully inspect it, and it took a lot of effort to determine that it was chronic poisoning.

Fu Yuanling conveyed the news to Zhang Cheng, and asked Zhang Cheng to continue to stare at the movements in the palace, and dozens of cats and dogs died in the palace one after another before he got to the past few months.

And the death was similar, Zhang Cheng himself found a way to find a veterinarian in the palace for the cats and dogs in the back, and the result was the same as Fu Yuanling's side.

Xue Ningshuang's face was very pale, she now knew that Zhang Cheng was in danger now, but she couldn't move, she wanted to save him, but she was already out of the palace, and she had no choice but to come to the princess.
