Chapter Seventy-Four: Heaven Is Not Beautiful

On the second day after returning from the post station, Song Wenyu asked the county guard to take out all the financial and tax account books of Huainan County. Watermark Advertising Test At the beginning of the watermark advertising test, the county guard was still a little dismissive, only saying that Song Wenyu was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, a child of an official family, even if he was only eight buckets, how could he figure out what was on the ledger. In the eyes of the county guard, it may take several days for Song Wenyuguang to figure out the context of these account books.

However, things were not as he thought, seeing that the account books piled up next to Song Wenyu were getting fewer and fewer, the county guard was a little panicked. On the third night, he walked around his room several times, and finally couldn't help but knock on Xiao Duo's door.

At this time, Xiao Duo was sitting alone in the room drinking, and when the county guard pushed the door in, he was sitting by the window with a wine glass, his coat was draped casually, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Lord Wang??" The county guard walked into the room and saluted Xiao Duo flatteringly.

Xiao Duo glanced at him, and his voice and expression were a little cold. "Lord Liu, haven't you explained it beforehand, there is nothing important, you and I must keep our distance, don't be caught by others and make mistakes."

"Yes, yes, the things that the prince explained, the little ones are all in mind. It's just that?? There is indeed a tricky thing about lowly duties now, is it?? It's about Lord Song. Liu Junshou hesitated and considered for a long time before he expressed his intentions.

"Song Wenyu?" Xiao Duo finally focused on Liu Junshou, "What's wrong with him?" “

"In the past few days, Lord Song has lived in the yamen, checking accounts day and night. I thought it was humble. Just looking at the account books of the past few months has to be wasted a lot of effort, I didn't expect it?? But in two days, Lord Song has already read most of the account books. It's already the third day. “

Liu Junshou said uneasily.

"He's got to see something." Xiao Duo lowered his eyes, played with the small wine glass in his hand, and asked.

"This?? This, there shouldn't be yet," Liu Junshou wiped the sweat on his head, in fact, he didn't have a bottom in his heart. Although Liu Wenyu's grade is light, the city government is very deep, and Liu Junshou went to the side to knock a few times, but it was also in vain. In the end, he didn't dare to ask himself, for fear of being seen.

Xiao Duo listened to his answer and laughed. "Should there be, or you don't know."

His question hit Liu Junshou's heart, Liu Junshou stood there with his hands down, his head bowed, like a prisoner at a hearing, where there was still a little bit of the majesty of the county guard. Xiao Duo glanced at him coldly, as if he was looking at a useless waste.

"Okay, I see, you can get out."

Xiao Duo withdrew his gaze and replied lightly, the county guard nodded again and again, and hurriedly exited the room.

"Song Wenyu?? I'm going to see if you can find something. “

Even if something is found, do you still have the life to go back?

Xiao Duo thought about this. With a sneer, he drank the water and wine in the cup in one gulp.

The night was as cold as water, while Xiao Duo was drinking in the room, Song Wenyu was fighting at night in the yamen, and when he finished reading the last account book of today, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help stretching.

"Young master, rest early. It's almost time. “

"Hmm." Song Wenyu took a bowl of sugar water from Huairen's hand, drank a few sips, and suddenly asked, "Who made this?" “

Huairen scratched his head. A little embarrassed said: "It's made by a small one, before leaving, the young lady specially taught the young lady some supper, which are the ones that the young master often eats at home on weekdays." But?? The small craftsmanship is definitely not as good as the young lady. “

Song Wenyu lowered his head and scooped the soft and glutinous red bean porridge with a spoon, took another bite and said: "It's really not as good as her, but it's also a six-seven-point like." “

When Huairen heard this, he laughed happily. "Since the young master said so, the little one should be regarded as the young master praising the small one's craftsmanship."

Song Wenyu smiled, didn't say anything, and slowly finished the porridge in the bowl, and then put the empty bowl aside. At this moment, Xiao Zhan walked in with Lu Qing. "I smelled a fragrance from afar, it turns out that Wen Yu, you are eating alone here."

Xiao Zhan sat down as he spoke, glanced at the empty bowl placed in Song Wenyu's hand, and then looked at Huairen and said, "Is there anything else?" The king was also a little hungry. “

"Yes, yes, the two masters will talk slowly, I'll go get it." Huairen replied, and went out with Lu Qing.

"How's it going?" Xiao Zhan glanced at the account book spread out on Song Wenyu's desk and asked.

"In two more days, I guess I'll be able to finish it. It's just that I don't think it makes much sense. “

Song Wenyu pinched his nose and replied to Xiao Zhan's words.

"Why?" Xiao Zhan looked at Song Wenyu.

"Their account books were done by someone else, and they were seamless. Judging from the books alone, there is no trace of filling one's pockets, and there is no trace of mistakes. “

"Don't worry, this is also what we expected." Xiao Zhan got the news, he was not in a hurry, he still looked indifferent, "If we were allowed to catch the mistake at the beginning, we would have to think more about whether it was the bait they took the initiative to offer with both hands." “

"Hmm." Song Wenyu nodded, his thoughts were the same as Xiao Zhan's, "So I plan to see what we should do next after reading all these account books." I have made a list of suppliers of materials for the construction of the dams, and we can visit them before we go to the various embankments. “

"Okay, or I'll stay here for the next few nights." Xiao Zhan suddenly proposed.

Song Wenyu gave him a strange look. Didn't speak. Xiao Zhan continued with some tears and laughter: "Don't look at me like this, I also have a hard time. I've been living in the county guard's mansion for a few days, and the county guard and King Qing will always find an excuse for me to drink, and I'm really scared. “

When Song Wenyu heard this, he also laughed. "You said that, I feel that I don't let you live in the yamen, but I am not close to people. However, the conditions here are not comparable to those of the county guard. “

"It's okay, you forgot about our childhood, but you will sneak out to live in the mountains and farms." Reminiscing about those days. Song Wenyu and Xiao Zhan both showed nostalgic expressions.

"I remember." Song Wenyu replied, and Xiao Zhan's words reminded him of the little girl who saved his life in the snow. "Ah Zhan, something??"

Just as he was about to talk to Xiao Zhan about saving his life, Huairen came over with a few bowls of red bean porridge. Xiao Zhan smelled the fragrance and immediately turned his head. Lu Qing handed him a bowl of red bean porridge, while Huairen walked over to Song Wenyu and placed the tray on the table.

"Your red bean porridge is even more fragrant than that used by the saints in the palace. Huairen, I really didn't expect that you are still a good cook. Xiao Zhan said, and couldn't wait to take a sip, the soft and sweet red bean paste slid down his throat into his abdomen, making him sigh.

"Lord Wang's praise, this is a recipe provided by my young lady. My young lady was afraid that my young master would not eat well on the road, so she temporarily crammed Buddha and taught the villain a few suppers before leaving. This red bean porridge is one of them. “

Huairen didn't dare to take this credit for Ah Jin, and immediately said.

Xiao Zhan scooped the red bean porridge for a moment, only to see him smile and say, "Your young lady." Sure enough, the show is wise. Wen Yu married her, which can be regarded as a blessing. “

Song Wenyu watched Xiao Zhan drink the red bean porridge clean, and the smile in his eyes deepened. "If you like it, when we return to the royal capital, my family will set up a banquet and invite you to have a good meal."

Xiao Zhan listened, put down the empty bowl, took the handkerchief handed by Lu Qing and wiped his mouth, and said, "Since you have taken the initiative to say so, this king must go." Oh, by the way, looking for you today, there was a serious matter. “

"What?"

Song Wenyu saw Xiao Zhan take out a list from his arms and hand it to him. "Here's a list I've drawn up to inspect the levee, for you to see."

Song Wenyu opened it and took a look, a little surprised. "It's half of the people."

"To be exact, it was divided into two groups. If you bring so many people every time, it will be too exciting. If you divide people into two groups, then they can have a rotation and the staff will not be so mixed, and all in all, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. “

"It's a way. It's just that?? Will Xiao Duo agree? Song Wenyu looked at this list, and it seemed that Xiao Zhan had even divided the soldiers brought by Xiao Duo into two. According to Xiao Duo's character, he will definitely not follow. What's more, this is still Xiao Zhan's idea.

"I'm going to talk to him. If he doesn't agree, let him decide how many people he wants. Xiao Zhan took the list and folded it into his arms.

"Well, that's it." Song Wenyu thought about it and felt that this was the only way.

"It's night, let's all rest early, and get up tomorrow morning to see these things?" After eating supper, Xiao Zhan stretched out comfortably. I have to say. Huairen boiled this bowl of porridge, and it really gave him a hangover. Now he only felt drowsy and wanted to go to bed quickly.

"Huairen, lead King Run to the inner room," Song Wenyu said, then turned his head to look at Xiao Zhan and said: "I said it in advance, I said that the conditions here are simple, but I am not polite." “

"yes, got it." Xiao Zhan yawned and stood up, and followed Huairen into the backyard of the yamen.

Song Wenyu closed the ledger, blew out the oil lamp, and followed everyone into the backyard.

??

Ah Jin was woken up this morning by the sound of rain outside, she opened her eyes, and when she turned her head, she saw Ah Cai, who was in the same room, sleeping soundly. In order not to wake up her roommate, she got up lightly, put on a coat and walked out of the room, standing in front of the railing of the hallway, looking at the gray and rainy weather.

"Shen Yu? How are you standing here? Wei Lingyun walked over from the end of the corridor and saw Ah Jin standing barefoot on the floor, his face immediately turned red. He turned around and said hesitantly, "It's rainy, it's very wet and cold, so let's go and put on our shoes." “

Looking at Wei Lingyun's youthful appearance, Ah Jin couldn't laugh or cry. She went back into the house, put on her shoes, and went out of the room again. Wei Lingyun was still waiting there, and when he saw that she had put on her shoes, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah Cai is still sleeping, I don't want to wake her up. So I came out without shoes. Ah Jin looked at him and explained. The implication was that she didn't expect Wei Lingyun, who lived upstairs, to appear on this floor.

Wei Lingyun may have heard the meaning of her words, and looked at her a little crampedly. "I, I was woken up by the sound of rain, and when I saw that it was raining so heavily, I wanted to go and see the medicinal herbs. When I go downstairs, I see you standing here??"

Wei Lingyun explained that there was no sound behind him, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Ah Jin looking at him with a pair of big watery eyes, which made his face red to the root of his ears.

"Why did you get up so early?"

"I was woken up by the heavy rain." Ah Jin said, looking at the boxes of medicinal herbs placed in the courtyard. Although the boxes are covered with several layers of rainproof cloth, even if the herbs are not wet, they cannot be used if they are contaminated with moisture.

Ah Jin frowned, thinking about the workload after the rain stopped, and suddenly asked, "The medicinal materials we prepared before are enough for Lord Song and them on the way to patrol?" “

"It's hard to say, what we have prepared is just an estimated amount. I don't know what it will be like when I get to a place where the disaster is severe?? Plus. Heaven is not beautiful,", speaking of this important event that was in everyone's hearts, Wei Lingyun also became worried, "The accompanying star supervisor said that this rain may still fall for a few days. “

"Yes. That's just too bad. Ah Jin muttered to himself, looking at the rain and becoming obsessed, only to see that the rain was getting heavier, and many raindrops had flown into the corridor, wetting their clothes. Wei Lingyun took a step back, turned his head and saw that Ah Jin was still standing in the rain, undecided, so he stepped forward and pulled her.

"You're all wet from the rain, go change your clothes." Wei Lingyun reminded.

"Okay, so is Lord Wei." After Ah Jin replied with such a sentence, he went into the house. Wei Lingyun stood at her door and waited for a while, and saw that she had no intention of coming out again, so she reluctantly left.

In the room, Ah Jin came in this time, and Ah Cai got up. She looked at Ah Jin in a daze, and said with a lazy look that had just woken up: "Yu'er, are you out?" “

"Well, it was raining so hard that I was woken up. It's still early, so you can sleep a little longer. Ah Jin coaxed her softly.

"Oh," Ah Cai listened to her words, and immediately lay down, muttering with her eyes closed, "You must call me when you want to have breakfast." “

"Got it." Ah Jin took off his shoes and socks and went to bed, watched the rain with his eyes open for a while, and finally closed his eyes, intending to close his eyes and recuperate.

When the two of them got up again, the second floor had already begun to gradually become lively. Ah Jin and Ah Cai finished freshening up with the other medical women, and then went straight to the dining hall. Halfway through, I happened to meet Gillian.

Ah Cai and Gillian stared at each other for a while, and then pulled Ah Jin to bypass her. This time, Gillian didn't stop them, but stood in place and said in a weird manner: "Some people are different from the outside. On the surface, he doesn't seem to be interested in anything, but secretly, he tries his best to learn from those women in the market to seduce men. It's really unseemly. “

Ah Cai glanced back at her inexplicably, and continued to walk forward with Ah Jin. As he walked, he also asked Ah Jin: "Yu'er, why is it even more strange for her to sleep here." Could it be that all the rain is falling on her head? “

Ah Jin couldn't help but sneer. Ah Cai looked at Ah Jin who was smiling, and only felt that this smile was so bright that it almost didn't dazzle her eyes. "Yu'er, you look so good when you smile, you have to laugh more."

Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, looked at her a little embarrassed and said, "Don't talk nonsense." “

"I'm not talking nonsense, it's true."

empathized with Ah Cai, as well as Wei Lingyun, who was standing from a distance and watching this scene. Since he met Shen Yu, he had never seen Shen Yu laugh. This is the first time.

Just as he was fascinated, Doctor Qiao suddenly came to his side. He glanced at the three medical women standing in the distance, then looked at Wei Lingyun and said, "Lingyun, you come with me." “

"Yes." Wei Lingyun saluted Doctor Qiao, then withdrew his reluctant eyes and followed Doctor Qiao upstairs.

In the yard, Gillian is still unrelenting with Ah Cai. Their disapproving reaction made Gillian angry, and she stepped forward and pointed at Ah Jin and said, "I'm talking about you!" Shen Yu, what are you pretending! “

"There is no basis for empty words, and what you say is to seek truth from facts. Excuse me, what did I do? For you to make such accusations against me? “

"You know what you've done." Delicate's face was red and her neck was thick, she wanted to tell everything she saw in the corridor this morning, so that Shen Yu couldn't refute it. But she also knew that this matter would also involve Wei Lingyun.

Wei Lingyun is the person she likes, she naturally doesn't want to involve him, and it will affect his career.

"Oh, that means it's a sin of desire? In that case, I don't have much more to say to you. After Ah Jin finished speaking, he pulled Ah Cai and turned his head and left. Ah Cai glanced back at Gillian who was stunned there, and felt that her eyes were really terrifying.

"Yu'er. Gillian, this girl has been weird lately. “

"She wasn't like that before?" Ah Jin subconsciously asked rhetorically. Listening to Ah Cai's ears, it has a different meaning.

I saw her smile and said, "Yes, she is like this in the royal capital on weekdays." “

"It's pathetic." Ah Jin felt some sympathy for Shen Yu.

"yes, it's pathetic. Pathetic and pitiful. Ah Cai thought she was talking about Gillian and echoed.

??

After Wei Lingyun followed Doctor Qiao into the house, he also closed the door.

"Master, what are you looking for me?"

Doctor Qiao glanced at him, took out a list from his arms and said, "In two days, we will follow King Run and Lord Song to inspect the embankment." Take a look at the list first, and if you have any comments, discuss them with me. “

"Yes." Wei Lingyun took it respectfully, and after reading the list, he folded it again, "I don't have any opinions on the rest, it's just that the students think it's better to let Dr. Lin lead Group A." “

"Why?" His answer seemed to be expected by Qiao Yizheng.

"Because?? Most of the people in Group A are newcomers, and they need to be led by experienced imperial doctors, and the students are still young and may not be competent. “

"I don't think so." Doctor Qiao snorted and looked at him with hatred. "It's because the one named Shen Yu is in Group B, so you also want to be in Group B, is the old man right?"

Wei Lingyun didn't expect Qiao Yizheng to say what he thought. He glanced up at Qiao Yizheng in surprise, and quickly lowered his head again. "Master, me??"

Doctor Qiao raised his hand and motioned for him not to say anything. "Ling Yun, you have indeed reached the age of talking about marriage. But. Shen Yu is not suitable for you. Even if the master acquiesces, your father, and your Wei family, can accommodate her as an orphan girl. “

Wei Lingyun was coldly asked by Doctor Qiao. He hadn't thought about these problems, but when he saw that Shen Yu always had such a lukewarm attitude towards him, he subconsciously began to avoid these problems.

Even Shen Yu hadn't looked at him yet, he always felt that it was too early for him to think about these details.

"Master, my father is a reasonable man. And he cherishes his talent very much, Shen Yu is talented and intelligent, and he is a rare seedling of learning the art of Huang. I think?? Father would not look down on Shen Yu. “

"Admittedly, your father is not one of those who tends to be inflammatory. But have you ever thought that you are up and down in the official sea, but you marry an orphan girl. In the future, if you encounter some difficulties, how should you two deal with yourself? “

Qiao Yizheng's rhetorical question made Wei Lingyun fall silent. Seeing that Wei Lingyun couldn't answer, Qiao Yizheng didn't be aggressive anymore. Instead, he sighed and said, "If you haven't thought about the key to these issues, don't rush to show favor to a woman." Shen Yu's child is indeed a rare good seedling, but she is a woman after all, and she has been a medical woman for a few years, and she still has to leave the palace in the end. Even if she is fortunate enough to be promoted to a female official, she will stay in the royal capital for the rest of her life to serve the royal family. If you threaten to marry her at this time, but you don't marry her, what will you do for this child? You don't love her, you're hurting her! Think about it. “

With that, Doctor Qiao stood up and left the room first.

"Don't love her?? Are you hurting her??" Wei Lingyun listened to the door behind him, repeating what the master had just said, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

Just because of the huge difference between his family background and Shen Yu, is he destined not to be together?

Wei Lingyun couldn't understand how he could take so many rights and wrongs into account when this was clearly his own business.

The master's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring him from head to toe.

Wei Lingyun stood in the room for a long time before he walked out of the room with heavy steps. To his surprise, Doctor Qiao had been standing outside the room waiting for him.

"Master??" Wei Lingyun spoke with difficulty.

"Have you thought about it?" Doctor Qiao was looking at him, waiting for his final decision.

"According to the master's original arrangement, I will go to Group A." Wei Lingyun lowered his head and said softly.

"Good. If only you could figure it out. Doctor Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and patted him on the shoulder.
