When he arrived in the courtyard to pick up winter clothes to dry, Zheng Lingyi saw things and thought about people, and it was hard not to think of their father and son. Although longing seems to be her daily homework, looking at the familiar clothes, this kind of longing is always more concrete.

Qiu Shuang saw that Zheng Lingyi had wandered into this courtyard, and stared at Wu Zhi's big man, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Madam, there is nothing to cover in this courtyard, be careful and the wind is strong, let's go back." ”

Zheng Changchang was pregnant again, and thought that Zheng Lingyi had few people here, and she was afraid that she would have more thoughts in her heart, so she sent Sister Xuan to be with Yun Tuan'er as a companion.

Yesterday, Yan asked someone to deliver the news, saying that he wanted to borrow a notebook. Brother Yuan'er's words are always said by Mr. to lack muscles and bones, and Jiang Sheng's words are just right.

Although he was a little embarrassed and humbled himself for his son, Zheng Lingyi still let people sort it out, and waited for Yan's to pick it up today, but when he waited for the evening, Yan's never came.

Over the years, although Zheng Lingyi and Yan are not like-minded, they can be regarded as good friends, and she also knows Yan's temperament, inexplicably missing the appointment and not even reporting to the person, it is really not like something she did.

This rashly, she didn't want to ask, so she took the opportunity to send autumn pears to Princess Ping, and asked people to bring the notebook over.

Princess Ping likes the crisp sweetness of this autumn pear the most, but this year's fruit is not much, and the palace wants to go for most of it, Zheng Qijun's fresh fruit Zhai is not on at all, and Zheng Lingyi gave her some from herself.

Qiushuang came back from King Ping's mansion, and first handed over the reward given by Princess Ping to Zheng Lingyi to see, full of silver buns.

"Princess Ping has always been generous, so you can take it." Zheng Lingyi said unconcernedly, but Sister Xuan asked for one and looked at it, and said, "I don't have this lotus-like silver bun, can I exchange it with you?" ”

Qiu Shuang naturally didn't want to, and took Sister Xuan'er's silver bun like a small ingot, Qiu Shuang didn't seem to have anything to say.

Zheng Lingyi glanced at her and said, "What?" ”

"Shen Hou seems to have an accident, Princess Ping looks like she is smiling, and Brother Yuan is also worried."

Qiushuang didn't see Yan, and she couldn't see anything else.

This is probably the reason why Yan's appointment was not made, Zheng Lingyi couldn't think of anything that could happen to Shen Hou, her sleeve suddenly asked Yun Tuan'er to pull it, she looked over with a smile, and saw that the red petals in the jade were already pounded and eroded.

"Mother, is this okay?" Yun Tuan'er and Sister Xuan both looked at her.

Zheng Lingyi nodded and said, "It's done, you let Xiao Wu'er take a small bowl to boil rouge." ”

was interrupted by the children, Zheng Lingyi didn't have the heart to think about Shen Hou's affairs, until a few days later, Shen Qin came to the door crying, saying that her brother was actually sued to the emperor by the imperial doctor for favoritism and bribery, and now he has been detained by Yan Siqing in the prison of Dali Temple, and is not allowed to visit.

"Anyway, it's also a family member." Zheng Lingyi coaxed Shen Qin and couldn't help but sigh.

Shen Qin suddenly raised her face from the crook of her arm, her eyes were scarlet, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Just because it's an in-laws!" In order to avoid suspicion, Yan Siqing heard that the attack was quite serious, not to mention the relationship between the two families and the beginning and end of the case. Only this is the same, isn't it tortured under heavy punishment? ”

"Heard? With your connections and connections, you can't even see each other? Zheng Lingyi was very surprised.

Shen Qin snorted, and after crying, she felt much more comfortable, and recovered her emotions, and said calmly: "My sister-in-law went home to beg, and when she came back, half of her face was swollen like a face, and my mother used to complain about her very much, and when she saw her like this, she couldn't bear to criticize her." ”

"If only my husband were here, he would be able to tell me more than me." Zheng Lingyi thought for a while and said: "That's what I said to you, my husband was also very puzzled before he went to Feng Xuecheng, this errand should be Shen Hou's, but somehow it fell into his hands, and now Shen Hou is entangled in lawsuits, is Shen Hou guilty of Tai Sui today?" ”

After all, Zheng Lingyi didn't know about the court, and the last sentence was a bit nonsense.

Shen Qin looked at her in a daze, and his face gradually became solemn, "My brother has really been unlucky these days, he has lost a lot of right hand and right-hand men, and the hands of the people below have also been soaked with sand. These things bothered him for a long time, but he rarely mentioned them, and one day when he had dinner with his mother, he drank a few more glasses, and then he confided a thing or two. ”

Without waiting for Zheng Lingyi to say anything, Shen Qin suddenly got up and paced a few steps, then turned back to Zheng Lingyi and said, "You say, is there anyone secretly harming you?" ”

She said this, and she didn't know what she thought, her expression and tone seemed more determined and anxious.

"We are so stupid, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, how can this be good? When will Lord Wu return, and will there be any letters in the near future? ”

The autumn breeze is sorrowful, the coolness is deep, half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, but the road is far away, and the errand of Feng Xuecheng involves complicated matters, Zheng Lingyi's answer is not what Shen Qin wants, "The errand has already appeared, and the return date is undecided." ”

It's still autumn yellow leaves, but the first snow has already fallen in the snow city. fervor

Shen Shuangbei and Xiaoqi handed over to Wu to punish a lot of evidence that Zhao Ci secretly obstructed the mutual market, Zhao Ci wanted both good horses and skilled craftsmen from the north to make horseshoes and saddle horses, and he received a lot of benefits, but added a lot of obstacles to the mutual market.

This is too unkind, if it weren't for the affection between Shen Baiyan and the impostor, the northern kingdom would have had an attack early, how could it endure it to this day? It's no wonder that Shen Shuangbei would meddle in this matter, which damaged her father's interests and feelings.

Although they were also selfish, Wu Zhi took a shortcut after all, and after verifying the evidence, he attached it to the fold.

By this time, he had already made a round trip, and when the messenger quickly entered the city gate, a dark cloud chased him into the Sealed Snow City, and soon the snow fell.

Zhao Ci could only compromise in the face of the holy order, but he was still unwilling in his heart, and hated Wu Zhi word by word: "You are all short-sighted people who are greedy for money!" ”

Seeing that the end of the errand was just around the corner, Wu Zhi felt a lot more comfortable, and in the face of ridicule, he said: "There is a general guarding the border pass, why not have this opportunity to earn more silver to enrich the treasury?" ”

He has always been silent these days, and suddenly slipped his tongue, Zhao Ci couldn't refute it, only snorted coldly, thinking of the letter he received from his daughter a few days ago, and asked: "Your son won the eldest prince by archery?" ”

Wu Zhi didn't know what he was doing when he suddenly mentioned this, this eldest prince is Zhao Ci's grandson, and he must be loved, but it is not easy to hide and lie when this is the case, so he said: "The dog is lucky." ”

Zhao Ci snorted coldly, what a stubborn old man, he was really aggrieved in his heart these days, Shen Baiyan's daughter was in Fengxue City for a few days, and his people didn't notice it, until they left Fengxue City and went to the west, and no one reported it later.

"You have an intersection with the prince of the northern kingdom, and you still have close contacts with Shen Baiyan's daughter on this trip, so you are not afraid that the emperor will not reward you and suspect you after he finds out?" Zhao Ci was unhappy in his heart, and he didn't want to see Wu Zhi proud, so he deliberately stabbed him.

This matter can't be hidden, and it's not surprising that Zhao Ci knows about it, Wu Zhi said lightly: "I know that General Zhao is wary of the northerners in his bones, so he doesn't agree with the mutual market. General Zhao, you have both military power and a relative, and the queen has two sons, doubting this word is something that General Zhao needs to worry more about. ”

Wu punished this person without speaking, and it was really poignant to talk at length. Zhao Ci was not a reckless man in the end, and stared at Wu for a while, but slowly calmed down.

Zhao Ci knew what he said, and even his grandson was already jealous of his father at this age.

The queen wrote to say that there were still people in the court who wanted to appoint the emperor's eldest son as the prince, which seemed to be instructed by the Zhao family, but the Zhao family was not so stupid!

The emperor thinks a lot, and he probably won't believe it, but the suspicion in his heart can't run away.

"Silver is always good." Wu Zhi said suddenly.

Zhao Ci looked at him with some confusion, but Wu Zhi didn't explain, and only turned to praise the eldest prince with the mouth of Jiang Sheng.

Zhao Ci sank his face and said, "Don't trap me in injustice." ”

Wu Yan didn't say anything, just said goodbye and left. In the huge hall, only Zhao Ci sat silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wu Zhi returned to his temporary residence, and before he entered the door, he smelled a fragrance first.

A fire was set up in the courtyard, and Sauce Sheng was happily roasting a hare that he had hunted out of nowhere.

Seeing that he was back, Jiang Sheng happily said, "Dad! The rabbits in the north are so fat! ”

"I don't see you at home." Wu Zhi took out a letter from his arms, the letter had already been opened, and he thought that he had read it, and the letter was thrown into the fire by him.

"I'm eating this at home, my sister is definitely going to be angry, eh, Dad, whose letter, what are you doing burning it?" Sauce Sheng glanced out of the corner of his eye, and the envelope had been reduced to nothing.

Wu Zhi did not answer, Zheng Lingyi's family letter he had always received properly, how could it be burned, although Jiang Sheng was curious, he did not ask if he was very knowledgeable about current affairs.

Before going to see Zhao Ci, a woman on the street bumped him and stuffed it into his arms.

There is no money on the letter, but Wu Zhi recognizes this as Shen Gui's words, this letter does not know what kind of situation it is written, the handwriting is sloppy, the paper is rough, in the letter he said that he was suspected by the emperor, carefully set up a bureau, and now he has been imprisoned, and there is no one available under him.

Although the letter did not directly say that Wu would punish him, he only had to say a word. This letter is also the reason why Wu Zhi said a lot to Zhao Ci today.

Wu Zhi seemed to be calm, his heart was turbulent, the smell of meat was getting stronger and stronger, he unceremoniously enjoyed his son's filial piety, took a hind leg and ate it, threw the bones into the fire after eating, and said, "It's time to pack up our things, we can go home." ”
