On the carriage back to Beijing, Rong Yu and Shao Nanyan told Rong Hua about the case of Sister Xiu'er falling into the water.

Rong Hua sighed a few words about Sister Xiu's unfortunate murder at a young age, and praised Rong Yu for her ability to judge cases......

Mama Wu continued: "It's thanks to Miss Xiu's intelligence, otherwise Sister Xiu'er will have to die in vain!" ”

"The slave came to take leave that day, and the young lady asked the slave if Xiaohe had dug up the river mud recently, and the minion didn't understand why the young lady asked......

"It wasn't until I met the young lady to try the case that the slave figured it out......"

"The small river outside the town has been dug up with river mud, so the soles of the shoes of the people who hurt Sister Xiu will definitely be stained with river mud sandwiched with water and weeds!"

"This is a simple reason, but the people in the town, from the official to the slave, everyone has not thought of ......"

Shao Nanyan looked at Rong Yu with admiration: "Sister Yu, you even know about such things as digging river mud, you are really knowledgeable......

Miss Houfu, how do you know about digging river mud?

Rong Hua looked at Rong Yu puzzled.

Rong Yu explained casually: "Nanyan, I can't afford your well-informed ......."

"It's just that Mama Wu told me before, I remember......"

She told Rong Yu about digging river mud?

Mama Wu thought about it for a while, and was not impressed, so she said: "Miss has a really good memory, Xu is slave casually mentioned a few words, but you remember it so clearly!" ”

Shao Nanyan asked Mama Wu: "Mama Wu, why is Xiaohe digging river mud?" Please speak, speak, speak. ”

Mama Wu replied respectfully, "Miss Shao is polite......"

"In the past, I didn't dig it, but I dug every year for two or three years, and it was all in late spring and early summer......

"The slave works in Rongfu all the year round, what is the specific reason, please forgive the slave for not knowing ......"

Rong Yu euphemistically mentioned Shao Nanyan and said: "After listening to Mama Wu's mention, I also asked someone for advice......

"Seems to be related to flood control......

She knew that the matter of digging river mud was naturally not mentioned to her by Mama Wu......

In her previous life, Mrs. Zhang often lent her books to read, and once, perhaps Mrs. Zhang was careless, and the books lent to her were filled with notes.

The notes are sharp and concise.

It wasn't until she finished reading it that she realized that it was a book from Prince Duan's book.

In his notebook, King Duan recorded his experiences in controlling water in various places, and it also mentioned that because the method he used to dredge the river mud and dredge the river channel was very effective, some local officials began to follow suit, digging river mud in late spring and early summer, and before the arrival of the wet season, so as to prevent floods.

On the side of that paragraph, Mrs. Zhang approved a paragraph, to the effect that dredging a large river, in addition to flood control, can also increase the depth of the water and help the draft passage of large boats, but if the dredging of the small river in the countryside is too diligent, and the river is too deep, it will not help navigation, but will increase the risk of drowning of the people.

At that time, Rong Yu didn't know what a powerful figure Duanwang would become, and she had little interest in water control, so she didn't pay much attention to that notebook.

However, she respects Mrs. Zhang very much, and because of Mrs. Zhang's annotation, she still remembers it clearly.

Coincidentally, he solved Sister Xiu'er's murder case......

When she didn't know anything before, she felt that Duanwang was a person far away from her.

But now, she feels more and more that he and her seem to have a lot of vague intersections.

Rong Yu looked at the vase.

The treasure bottle is seriously teaching Guo'er how to serve Rong Yu's daily life and the rules of the Hou Mansion, thoughtful and meticulous.

Rong Yu felt a dilemma in her heart: how should she take the treasure bottle?

The Aquarius is the person sent by Duanwang to her side, and she doesn't want to live under Duanwang's control anymore......

But on the other hand, in her previous life, the treasure bottle had protected her in King Ning's mansion, and in the end, she committed suicide by poisoning herself to prove her loyalty......

Therefore, it was difficult for her to drive her away......

……

The next afternoon, when everyone returned to Kyoto City, the carriage stopped in front of the Rongfu Gate.

Steward Ding and the family at the door were dumbfounded:

The white third lady has become a black-faced lady!

Supporting the third lady is an ugly girl who is darker and stronger than her!

Mama Wu, whose eyes are red and swollen and her hair is white, is carrying a huge cloth burden and holding a stunned girl!

There is only one person in the treasure bottle, and it looks normal......

However, it is not much better......

The vase has a sad face and a depressed head, and there is no spirit of a first-class maid from a big family!

Steward Ding muttered in his heart: This one by one, black and black, bitter crying, sad sorrow......

It's really unsightly!

It was more than ten years ago that the old marquis swallowed his breath, and the lady of the Great Shen family had not yet entered the door......

At that time, after the funeral of the old marquis, the house couldn't even take out the copper money to buy vegetables, but the master and decent subordinates didn't look so stumbling like a few in front of them!

Tut-tut......

I knew that Miss Hou Fu returned home, but I didn't know, I thought it was the Rong family's broken settlement and distant relatives who came to the door to fight the autumn breeze!

The third lady returned to the Shen family in Suzhou on this trip, and it is rumored in Beijing that the wealthy families in Suzhou and Hangzhou are all extravagant and elegant, that is, they set up meals every day, and it takes dozens of processes to prepare a dish......

He originally thought that after the greedy third lady came back, she would probably be even fatter......

Who would have thought that it would be like this!

Steward Ding was full of complaints, with a kind smile on his face, he took three steps and two steps to greet him, and saluted: "Third Miss, the slave can look forward to you back!" ”

Rong Yu: ......

In order to reward Steward Ding's professionalism, Rong Yu generously rewarded one or two silvers!

A tael of silver!

Steward Ding led the family members at the gate to line up in high spirits, bent down in unison, and said loudly: "Welcome the third lady back home!" ”

……

It's night, Duanwang's mansion.

Duan Wang sat alone in the pavilion in the backyard, holding a small note in his hand and a chessboard in front of him, silent.

If anyone sees him at this time, they will be unbelievable that this prince, who is known for his warmth, has such a dark side.

Duan Wang stared at the chessboard, and many thoughts welled up in his heart......

He felt that she was still an ignorant child......

A nine-year-old child, where does he know the so-called love?

Thinking about it, she just looked at the Shao family's little general Jun Jun and heroic, so she thought it was interesting for a while......

But whether she found it interesting for a moment or really moved, who was in a position to ask?

Everyone thought that he had a deep affection for Miss Rong Er.

Naturally, she thought so......

Rong Ying......

A girl with unparalleled beauty and intelligence in the eyes of the world......

In his eyes, it is dangerous.

He was not Emperor Gaozong of the previous dynasty, and he had no interest in bringing out an empress......

He is now cooperating with her in order to get this country;

In the future, he broke with her in order to protect the Li family......

He saw it so clearly, but a voice in his heart said to him repeatedly:

You don't want to work with Rong Ying in this way.

Because, you like Rong Yu.

There is no reason.

There is no calculation.

That was his stoic mind.

Even if he doesn't want to show his preferences, he still has natural preferences.

He loves sea bass, and even though he doesn't eat it, he can't help but take a few more looks.

He ...... to Rong Yu

never revealed, but intended to give her gold and jade gourds.

I want to form a golden bond with her.

That fat girl, better than her amazing second sister, probably only has the identity of a concubine......

And, his partiality!

With him, she has the upper hand with any woman in the world!

At that time, she had just suffered a catastrophe, but she ate sugar gourd without heart.

From that moment on, he wanted her to live carefree under his protection for the rest of her life.

Duanwang puts down a black piece.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the chessboard, and the black and white chess pieces seemed to be blinking and asked him: Your Highness, do you want thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, or do you want a beautiful woman to be in your arms?
