"Miss, you can't be a crush on someone, are you?" Xiu'er asked cautiously.

Her own lady attaches great importance to etiquette, if it weren't for someone else's fancy, how could she take the initiative to inquire about the name of a strange man.

Xiu'er was nervous, and if she guessed correctly, it would be troublesome. The lord and the lady hoped that the young lady would marry Lord Huo, but the young lady fell in love with the guards whose status was not as good as that of Lord Huo.

How good is that?

Have you fallen in love with someone?

Of course this is the case, but Du Ziyu was shy, and her first reaction was to shake her head, blushing and saying, "How can I have ......?"

"I almost fell just now, he saved me, I just want to thank him." Du Ziyu was afraid that Xiu'er would see through her girl's thoughts, so she hurriedly explained.

It's strange that she is not a person who is good at lying, and if she is asked to lie on weekdays, she can't tell it for a long time. But for some reason, Fang Cai's explanation didn't need to be thought about, and he blurted it out.

Xiu'er knew that her young lady was not good at lying, so she believed it, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, and said with a smile: "So that's the case, miss, don't worry, the slave will go right away." ”

Xiu'er asked the people in the guest house what Chu Zheng's surname was, and where did the people know that Chu Zheng's identity was a secret, so Huo Sijin and the others were extremely tight.

Zheng Changdong soon noticed that Xiu'er inquired about Chu Zheng, and immediately reported the matter to Chu Zheng.

Huo Sijin frowned, "Could it be that Lord Du is aware of it?" ”

Chu Zheng concealed his identity and pretended to be a guard to enter the Zhizhou Mansion, although Lord Du had not seen Chu Zheng, but he may not have noticed it. Chu Zheng's clothes can be changed, but the bearing of his body cannot be hidden.

Zheng Changdong shook his head, "It shouldn't be, the person who inquired was the maid next to Miss Du." ”

Hearing this, Huo Sijin hurriedly looked at Chu Zheng and spit out a sentence, "Tianxing, you shouldn't be provoking Peach Blossom, right?" ”

"Even if Lord Du is suspicious, he will not borrow his daughter's hand, in case it spreads, it will ruin Miss Du's reputation." Huo Sijin explained meaningfully, "A girl's family will not ask for the name of a strange man for no reason, so the most likely reason is that this girl has a crush on this man." ”

That's right, although Chu Zheng has changed his clothes, he has a handsome face and a long body, and he doesn't need to look at his bearing, but this appearance is enough to capture the heart of the girl's family.

Huo Sijin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but let himself laugh, but the smile at the corners of his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Suddenly, Chu Zheng glanced at Huo Sijin coldly, "Young Master Huo, we are here to do business!" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angry, Huo Sijin put away the smile between his eyebrows, calmed down, and said, "What Tianxing said is true." ”

"Just now there is news from Mr. Tan's side, he has confirmed all the open ditches and dark ditches, and it will not be a problem to connect all the ditches within two days. The next step was the transfer of the villagers. ”

Since Chu Zheng came back, he had a cold tone, "Let Master Du go." He is the parent official of Huzhou, and it is most suitable for him to be entrusted to do it. ”

Huo Sijin nodded, "Changjin has already told Master Du, and he should accept it." It is not difficult to get the villagers to be relocated, but the displaced villagers will panic, and if the dikes and drainage canals cannot hold up, then the flood will flood their homes, the food in the fields. Without houses and food, even if the floods are over, their lives will be difficult. ”

"The relief food of the imperial court is already on the way, this time I will personally check it, and no one will be allowed to be greedy for ink." As he spoke, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Chu Zheng's eyes, if someone dared to be greedy for ink under his nose, the sword under his hand would be bloody.

Huo Sijin frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "It is not enough to rely on the relief food of the imperial court, and I am afraid that those relief grains will only last until the end of the flood." ”

In recent years, the war in Southern Chu has continued, the treasury has long been empty, and no matter how serious the flood disaster is, there will not be too much relief food for the people of Huzhou.

Chu Zheng obviously knew this, "Two hundred thousand taels of silver from my private treasury." ”

"Tianxing, I'm afraid that this move is a little inappropriate." Huo Sijin was thoughtful.

Coming out of Chu Zheng's private treasury, for Chu Zheng himself, he is naturally high-spirited and bright, and he is nothing else, but others may not think so. At that time, good things can also become bad things.

But if Chu Zheng doesn't take the silver, and the little disaster relief money in the imperial court is not enough, what should the people of Huzhou do?

Huo Sijin fell into deep thought......

Suddenly, Huo Sijin's eyes lit up, and he thought about it, "Changjin has a plan, starting from Tianxing to raise donations, whether it is a family in the capital, a businessman or a celebrity, you can donate silver." ”

There are many big families in the capital, even if each family only donates ten taels, it is a lot. Besides, with Chu Zheng in front, the people next to him didn't dare to donate too little, especially the other princes, who would inevitably follow closely and never be honest.

"Part of the money raised was exchanged for relief food, and the other part was used as wages."

"Wages?" Chu Zheng was puzzled.

The corners of Huo Sijin's lips raised slightly, and he said eloquently: "Yes, it's the salary." In order to completely eliminate the peach blossom flood, after the flood, it is inevitable to rebuild the embankment, and then manpower and material resources will be required. Manpower also has to rely on the people of Huzhou, and the people who build the embankment naturally have to pay them, and they just distribute the donated silver as wages. ”

Hearing this, Chu Zheng's originally cold expression finally eased a little, "Huzhou has been plagued by floods, and the people of Huzhou are worried about their livelihoods, and they will donate silver as wages for building the embankment, which can not only solve the peach blossom flood, but also let the people of Huzhou see hope." Yes, that's a good idea. ”

Chu Zheng looked at Huo Sijin, and there was a little more appreciation in his eyes, "I really didn't mistake you." ”

With such a mind, he can be a prime minister.

Huo Sijin smiled, "Thank you Tianxing for your compliment." ”

Although Chu Zheng's temperament has been very strange in the past two days, Huo Sijin can see that Fang Cai's appreciation is sincere.

In her previous life, she gave advice to Chu Li, and Chu Li often praised her, but Huo Sijin had never been so happy as now. Probably Chu Li's praise was mixed with hypocrisy and exploitation, and Chu Zheng's praise was purely for the sake of it.

As he treats her, she does as much as she does for him. After Chu Zheng's praise, Huo Sijin felt that she should also do more for him.

Huo Sijin thought for a while and said, "Tianxing, Miss Du won't ask your name for no reason, I ......"

Hearing this, Chu Zheng's face suddenly darkened, "Enough!" Huo Gongzi, how many times do you want me to remind you! Your mind should be on business! ”

also said that she was not doing her job, and Huo Sijin's joy suddenly disappeared without a trace.

She really just wanted to kindly remind him that with his appearance, it was very likely that it would happen to attract a woman's heart, and she had to guard against it.

What Miss Du looks like, Huo Sijin has never seen it, but Chu Zheng is a very principled person, even if this Miss Du is a heavenly immortal, just because her father Lord Du is a corrupt official, Chu Zheng will never like Miss Du, so this Miss Du, the peach blossom, will never fall on Chu Zheng.

Since it is impossible, then Miss Du's unrequited love is a bad fate for Chu Zheng, and it is best to pull out this thing as soon as possible.

However, before Huo Sijin's words were finished, he was interrupted by Chu Zheng, and looking at his impatient expression, he obviously didn't want to listen.

Huo Sijin was also helpless, so he could only close his mouth and never mention the matter......

And Du Ziyu listened to Xiu'er's reply, the person Du Ziyu said did exist, it was a guard who followed Huo Sijin, but Xiu'er didn't find out who this guard's surname was.

Du Ziyu immediately frowned, "Why didn't you inquire?" The person is in the house, and I don't even know his name, and you are too useless. ”

Xiu'er's face stiffened, she was the big girl next to Du Ziyu, in the past, Miss and Mrs. praised her for being clever, thoughtful and safe, but today Miss said that she was useless, this is the first time.

"Miss, Lord Huo and those guards never talk to the subordinates, and they don't allow the subordinates to enter the house casually, so the slaves and maids ask the subordinates, and they don't know anything."

Xiu'er's tone was quite helpless, she couldn't ask the guard himself directly, right? For the sake of Du Ziyu's reputation, she could only quietly inquire about the people she knew in the house.

Du Ziyu didn't mean to scold Xiu'er, but blurted out the words anxiously, before he thought about it, he came back to his senses at this time, and quickly explained: "Xiu'er, I didn't mean to say you, it's just that Engong is kind to me, I want to thank him, but I don't want to even know Engong's name now, I don't want to go in my heart." ”

In fact, this was not only for Xiu'er, but also for Du Ziyu herself. She had to emphasize again and again that she wanted to know what Chu Zheng's name was, and she just wanted to thank him and nothing else.

Although Du Ziyu was moved, she knew that the person her father wanted her to marry was Lord Huo, not the guards around Lord Huo. After all, she is the daughter of the governor of Huzhou, how could she marry a lowly guard?

Du Ziyu is self-aware, but she can't stand her heart. Anyway, she wanted to know what his name was, and she wanted to see him again, even if it was just a few words with him......

In my heart, this night, Du Ziyu had insomnia, tossing and turning, but she still couldn't sleep. As soon as she closes her eyes, the appearance of Chu Zheng standing in front of her during the day will appear in her mind, with a long body and a jade body, cold and noble, like a pot of wine, as long as she gets close, it will be mellow and intoxicating, and people can't help but fall for it.

Her mind was full of Chu Zheng's figure, even in the middle of the night, sleepiness finally overcame lovesickness, and she fell asleep, but it was still Chu Zheng in the dream......
