Xie Wei's funeral matters, Xie Zheng did not do a big deal, first, she borrowed the Hou Mansion, it was not good to borrow other people's land to do funerals for her family, and second, Xie Wei died undignifiedly, and she really didn't want to make this funeral too glamorous.

Therefore, on the day of Xie Wei's death, she returned to the Hou Mansion, took a few people to the Dharma field, and directly carried Xie Wei's body to Jiming Temple, and held a funeral for Xie Wei in such a sacred and solemn place as the temple, and finally gave him a decent appearance.

According to local customs, the funeral was only held for three days, and the day of Xie Wei's death was counted as one day, and on the morning of the third day, before dawn, Xie Zheng cremated Xie Wei's body.

As for the ashes, Xie Wei is not a Jiankang person after all, as the saying goes: Fallen leaves return to the roots, and the soil is safe. His ashes, Xie Zheng has ordered You Xiao to send them to Huiji Xie's house quickly, and they are now on the way.

Xie Wei's matter has finally come to an end.

On that day, the weather was gloomy, inevitably a little humid and hot, the cool breeze outside, but much cooler than in the house, Xie Zheng sat in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness, she held a skirt in one hand, a fan in the other, and was walking into the pavilion, Yuzhi followed behind her, and said: "The lady wants to see Lu Qiwei, she can go directly to the Lu family, why do you want to meet outside?" ”

Xie Zheng had already walked to the pavilion, so he put down his skirt, walked to the edge of the pavilion with a fan and sat down sideways, leaned against the fence, and said slowly: "After all, Lu Ji and I are political enemies, just to find Lu Qiwei, I ran to his house, which is not appropriate." ”

When the words fell, I suddenly saw You Jian walking into the garden from outside, Yuzhi happened to see it, and smiled and informed Xie Zheng: "Eh, lady, You Jian is back." ”

When Xie Zheng heard this, he also looked towards the gate of the courtyard, and sure enough, he saw You Jian walking quickly, and when he arrived in the pavilion, he had already reported before Xie Zheng opened his mouth to ask, "I heard it, that Lu Niangzi is going to Xuanwu Street in the north of the city today." ”

"Xuanwu Street?" Xie Zheng was secretly happy when he heard it, when it came to that Xuanwu Street, she was also a frequent visitor, a street across the East Gate Bridge in the east, the Tingwei Office and the Jiming Temple in the west, the Confucian Tea House in the east of the bridge, the Liu Ji tailor shop in the west of the bridge, the Tingwei Office in the north of the street, and the Jiming Temple in the south of the street, she did go often.

You Jian nodded, and said, "I heard that I was asked by the granddaughter of Mrs. Yu's family, and the two of them plan to go shopping on the street." ”

"Okay, then let's go shopping," Xie Zheng said, and then stood up, and then said: "It happened that two days ago, the palace rewarded a few cloud brocades, and took them to Liu Ji and asked them to make me a few clothes." ”

After she said that, she instructed Yuzhi: "Yuzhi, you go and bring the material, and take three horses for the time being." ”

"Huh," Yuzhi walked to the ear room and came out with three horses, You Jian saw her come out, and hurriedly walked over to grab it, Yuzhi praised him, and said with a smile: "Good brother, you are diligent." ”

You Jian replied with a smile: "This kind of rough work, how can you ask Sister Yuzhi to do it, my sister's hand is to comb Xie Niangzi's hair." ”

At that time, Xie Zheng had also walked out of the pavilion, and as soon as he heard You Zhen's words, he gently tapped his head with the fan in his hand, and joked: "Flim tongue, you don't have to worry about begging your daughter-in-law in the future." ”

"With Xie Niangzi here, his subordinates are naturally not worried," the implication is that if he can't get a daughter-in-law, he has to ask Xie Zheng for help, Xie Zheng responded: "Okay, if you have a fancy for a little lady, just tell me, and I'll go for you." ”

You Jian smiled and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Compared with You Xiao's calm and introverted, his younger brother is both naughty and funny.

The three of them walked to the outside of the house, and when they arrived at the outside of the house, You Jian rushed in front of Xie Zheng and Yuzhi, put the three Yunjin into the ox cart, and then put the horse on the ground, the two got into the car, and he drove to Xuanwu Street, after arriving at Xuanwu Street, he parked the car not far in front of the door of the Confucian Tea House, which was much quieter than Qiaoxi.

Xie Zheng and Yuzhi got out of the car, You Jian picked up the three Yunjin again, followed behind the two women, and the three of them crossed the Dongmen Bridge and arrived at Liu Ji's tailor shop.

Now that it is not in time for the change of season, the business of this tailor shop is not too busy, Xie Zheng and his party have not yet entered the store, the shopkeeper stood in front of the counter and saw her, so he hurriedly greeted her, called out "county lord", and then wanted to salute, but Xie Zheng held him up, and said with a smile: "I came to ask you to make clothes today, there are only shopkeepers and customers here, where is the county lord not the county lord." ”

Liu Ji also smiled and hurriedly asked Xie Zheng to come in.

Xie Zheng gave You Jian a look, motioned for him to hand the three Yunjin to the little guy in the store, and then said to the shopkeeper: "I'll bring a few horses, you can make me a few new styles, there are not many patterns, wide robes and big sleeves, and they are comfortable to wear." ”

"That's natural, the county lord's request, even if you don't say it, the villain will know," the shopkeeper said, and was walking towards the little guy who took Yun Jin, he looked at the material, reached out and touched it, and then turned around and asked Xie Zheng: "How many Yun Jin horses are the county lord, but the new material from the Jin Department last month?" ”

"I don't know, I'll take what the palace has rewarded," Xie Zheng also looked at the store casually, but asked the shopkeeper and said, "The embroidered patterns on this are ......"

He didn't continue, Xie Zheng hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the trick?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's good-looking, and it matches the county lord very well." ”

Xie Zheng smiled and said, "It's just not good-looking, now that you send it to you, you have to make it look good for me." ”

"How can anyone who is not good-looking?" The shopkeeper roughly measured Xie Zheng's size with his eyes, and said, "Seeing that the county lord seems to have lost a lot of weight compared to last time, I'm afraid this size will have to be measured again." ”

"Okay, then let's measure it again," Xie Zheng said, and followed a little maid into the back room, Yuzhi was standing in the store, it was when she was bored, she turned around unintentionally, but happened to see Lu Qiwei and Yu Zizhao holding one person, walking through the door, and the two went west.

She hurriedly turned around, and wanted to call Xie Zheng, but when she saw that she had already entered the back room, she had to give up, so she hurriedly walked to the door of the store again, looked at the direction where Lu Qiwei and Yu Zizhao walked, and saw that the two of them walked into the rouge shop in front of the door three rooms apart, and then relieved.

It didn't take long for Xie Zheng to measure his size and walk out, and Yuzhi hurriedly informed: "Lady, the slave has seen the person you are looking for." ”

Xie Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then instructed the shopkeeper: "I still have some things, the matter of clothes, there is Boss Lao Liu, this is the deposit," she took out a silver ingot from her sleeve pocket, put it on the counter, and then said: "When it is done, you will ask someone to send it to the Hou Mansion for me, and I will give you the balance when I arrive." ”

The shopkeeper nodded in agreement, and Xie Zheng said, "Then I'll go, you have to worry about it." ”

"The county lord walks slowly."

Seeing that Xie Zheng was leaving, the shopkeeper wanted to send her outside the door again, but Xie Zheng turned around and smiled at him: "Don't send it, you can make clothes for me quickly." ”

Xie Zheng walked outside the door and asked Yuzhi, "Where did she go?" ”

Yuzhi pointed in the direction of the west and said, "At the rouge shop in front." ”

Xie Zheng glanced in the direction pointed by Yuzhi, and only said, "Go and invite her over, I'll wait for her on the bridge." ”

After that, Xie Zheng turned around and walked towards the East Gate Bridge, You Jian followed, and Yuzhi answered and went to the rouge shop.

Xie Zheng stood on the bridge, looking at a few small fishing boats under the bridge, he was a little distracted for a while, and suddenly heard the crisp and beautiful voice: "The county lord is looking for me?" ”

Looking sideways, the delicate Lu Niangzi was standing next to her, and when she saw her sideways, she was bowing to her.

"I'm here to thank you for the events of the past few days," Xie Zheng's fan is still in her hand, she is on the bridge sill with one hand, and the fan is gently squeezing the fan with the other, looking at the scenery.

Lu Qiwei said bluntly: "It's just a trivial matter, not to mention that this is what I should have done, why do I need to thank the county lord." ”

Xie Zheng withdrew his hand, turned to face Lu Qiwei, and said, "I have always known that kindness will be repaid, you helped me, I naturally want to thank you." ”

Lu Qi lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, and for a while he didn't know how to answer Xie Zheng's words, the events of the day were originally designed by his father and King Linchuan, she reported to Xie Zheng, in her opinion, this should be taken for granted, and now Xie Zheng's thanks, she doesn't know whether she should bear it......

Seeing that Lu Qiwei was silent, Xie Zheng simply said: "In this way, I want to repay your favor, and I should also help you, what difficulties do you have?" ”

Lu Qi smiled slightly, "I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I have nothing to do at home, think about it... There's really nothing to bother the county lord. ”

Xie Zhengwaner: "If this is the case, then I will owe it first, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, as long as I can do my best, and do not damage your interests, I will do my best to help you." ”

Lu Qiwei hesitated at first, and then replied: "Okay." Xie Zheng looked at her, only sure in his heart that Lu Qiwei's kindness, he would be able to repay it one day, because the Lu family obeyed Xiao Ying's orders, and something would inevitably happen, it was just a matter of time.

She turned around and wanted to leave, but took two steps but stopped, looking back when Lu Qiwei still didn't move, thinking that she was going to wait for her to get off the bridge, she dared to go, Xie Zheng suddenly remembered that when he was in Hualin Garden a while ago, he heard Yu Zizhao recommend Lu Qiwei to Xiao Daocheng to marry Hou Xiaoluan of Xichang County, so he asked vaguely: "By the way, Lu Niangzi, are you familiar with Hou of Xichang County?" ”

"Xichang County Hou?" Lu Qi was slightly stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "I have never known the Hou of Xichang County......

Xie Zheng was also stunned for a moment when she heard this, and she said for a long time: "Oh, it seems that Mrs. Lu, you have to guard against some good sisters around you." ”

"What?" Lu Qiwei was confused, and wanted to ask Xie Zheng what he meant, but Xie Zheng left without looking back, so she could only turn around and walk off the bridge with suspicion, and continue to walk towards the rouge shop.

At that time, Yu Zizhao was already waiting for her outside the rouge shop, and when he saw her turn back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Qiwei, what did the county lord of Hengyang do with you?" How did you lose your soul? ”

"It's nothing, just ask me to inquire about something," Lu Qiwei didn't dare to mention her grandfather to Yu Zizhao, Yu Zizhao didn't think much about it, just pulled her, pointed to the west direction with her, and said: "There is a new store over there, specializing in selling hairpin jewelry, you accompany me to have a look." ”

She didn't finish speaking, and didn't wait for Lu Qiwei to agree, so she pulled her over there.

And Xie Zheng's side, walked to the east of the bridge, the three of them went straight to the ox cart, You Jian had untied the reins of the green ox tied to the tree, Xie Zheng stepped on the Maza, and was about to board it, but at this time, a masked assassin wearing linen coarse cloth came out next to him, holding a sword in one hand and stabbing at Xie Zheng, Yuzhi happened to be standing behind Xie Zheng, and hurriedly blocked Xie Zheng, so he fought with the masked assassin, You Jian stood next to the green ox, and hurriedly rushed up to protect Xie Zheng when he saw the situation.

The assassin was fierce, but he didn't fight, only after two or three moves with Yuzhi, he was defeated, but Yuzhi was so excited as soon as he fought, and at this time the assassin could only dodge, but he only received three or five moves from Yuzhi, and he couldn't resist it, so he quickly found an opportunity to slip away.

Yuzhi hadn't finished playing yet, and was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Xie Zheng: "Yuzhi! Poor people don't chase. ”

"Lady," Yuzhi obediently turned back and walked to Xie Zheng, Xie Zheng looked at the assassin who had fled, and only said, "It's someone from the Gu family." ”

"How does Xie Niangzi know?" You Jian was full of surprise.

Xie Zheng smiled faintly and said, "If it is the King of Linchuan and the King of Wuling, who doesn't know that I have a few masters like you by my side, how dare I attack me while you are here?" That assassin didn't have to fight, he only had some three-legged cat kung fu, and at a glance he knew that he was underestimating me, this was not a person from the Gu family, who else could it be. ”

"Lady, then ......" Yuzhi was a little worried, and wanted to ask Xie Zheng if he wanted to pursue the matter, but he still didn't ask, and she could see that Xie Zheng was always very kind to the Gu family.

Xie Zheng then said: "It's okay, Mrs. Gu said that she wanted to take revenge on me, and since she wanted to deal with me, then I will play with her." ”

She said that the assassin was "a member of the Gu family", not "sent by the Gu family", this was not wrong, if it was a killer sent by the Gu family, even if his kung fu was not good, he would definitely fight with Yuzhi to the end, and he would never flee because of defeat, but the assassin was so desperate for his life, he was obviously afraid that if he died in the hands of Yuzhi, his identity would be revealed, so that the Gu family could not explain.

Xie Zheng had already guessed that person was the Lang Jun of the Gu family.

In the teahouse next to him, three familiar figures walked out, Xiao Xun walked in front, and Yin Luo and Kong Xiu followed closely behind.

Xiao Zhen came out of the teahouse, and before he walked to Xie Zheng, he hurriedly called: "Xie Niangzi!" ”

"Your Highness?" Xie Zheng was clearly shocked, she was not afraid that Xiao Zhen would see her assassinated, but she was afraid that he would hear his analysis of the assassin.

"Lone Fang was just upstairs in the private room, and you were not frightened when I saw you assassinated, right?" Xiao Zhen had already walked up to Xie Zheng, he frowned slightly, and when he looked at Xie Zheng, his eyes were full of worry and concern.

He's seen everything and heard everything!

"I'm fine, I'm just a little thief, I've been driven away by the jade branch," Xie Zheng looked at the jade branch as he spoke, and smiled at Xiao Zhen.

"It's okay, now that there are more and more little thieves in Jiankang, you have to be careful when you go out on weekdays," Xiao Zhen did not mention Xie Zheng's analysis, and simply followed the little thief in her mouth.

However, he once said to Xie Zheng that if the Gu family is an enemy of Xie Zheng, he will also be an enemy of the Gu family, which seems to be a joke when he says it, but in his heart, this is his promise to Xie Zheng.

Xie Zheng smiled lightly: "His Royal Highness Xie cares. ”

She said, and then said, "It's going to rain, I have to go back, Your Highness, farewell." ”

Xiao Zhen bowed his head and watched her board the ox cart, but his fists clenched involuntarily.

Xie Zheng took Yuzhi and You Jian back to the Hou Mansion, and after getting out of the car, Xie Zheng did not forget to tell Yuzhi and You Zhen: "Don't let the county marquis know about today's assassination." ”

The two agreed, and she was relieved to enter the door.
