"Princess Huainan?" Huan Ling was puzzled, and said: "I listened to her this morning, and I obviously didn't want to meddle in this matter, so wouldn't I be unhappy to go to her rashly?" ”

"How does the county marquis know that she really doesn't want to meddle in this matter?"

As soon as Xie Zheng asked, Huan Ling was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

"The world is the world of the Xiao family, not the Lu family, who would watch an outsider greedy for their own money? She has been jealous and hateful since she was a child, and she likes to fight grievances, so when she saw that group of people beating people, she rushed to stop it regardless of her own safety, why? Because she can't get used to seeing Lu Huilin fill her pockets. Does the county marquis think that she will really sit idly by and ignore this matter? ”

Huan Ling didn't speak, but he didn't seem to understand, Xie Zheng took the fan in his hand, shook it lightly for himself, and then sneered, and said: "As a princess of a country, does she really have no right to ask Lu Huilin about tax corruption?" With her identity, if she wants Lu Huilin to subdue the law, it is just a matter of one sentence, so she doesn't want to meddle in this matter, but she is afraid of offending the people behind Lu Huilin. ”

"Then in your opinion, is she in charge of this matter, or does she not care?" Huan Ling was a little confused when he heard it, and he was not sure whether Xiao Huijin would interfere in this matter.

Xie Zheng gave him the answer: "In front of the county marquis, she hinted that she would not ask about this matter, didn't she just think that the county marquis would definitely tell me about this matter after returning home?" Jiankang's celebrities, who doesn't know that I am friendly with the prince, and naturally I am the enemy of the Lu family of Wujun, this time I caught Lu Huilin's handle, and she also calculated that I would definitely intervene in this matter, so I am still in charge, just hiding in the dark and watching the show. ”

Huan Ling suddenly realized, "You mean, she wants to use you to deal with Lu Huilin?" ”

Xie Zheng sighed slowly and comfortably, and said: "It's also strange that I really want to deal with the Linchuan King faction, and I am willing to let the family take advantage of it." ”

"Then you say, since she just wants to hide in the dark and watch the show, I go and ask her to help, will she agree?"

"Naturally, I will agree!" Xie Zheng looked at Huan Ling sideways, suddenly smiled jokingly, and said in a strange voice: "The county marquis is a hero to save the beauty today, maybe people have secretly agreed, but now, but I wish the county marquis would hurry up and find her." ”

Huan Ling was stunned, he had rescued Princess Huainan, how could Deyin know about this matter......

Could it be Qionglin?

Huan Ling looked sideways at Zeng Qionglin, and Zeng Qionglin's eyes flickered, looking left and right, looking at Xie Zheng and Yuzhi, and only then did he look at him as the master until the end!

"Xie Niangzi put a knife on the neck of the lowly position...... I dare not recruit ......"

Looking at Xie Zheng again, she was drinking tea casually at this time, with a leisurely look on her face, but when she caught a glimpse of Huan Ling looking at her, her face suddenly changed, she looked sideways, her eyes fell on Huan Ling's face, and asked: "The county marquis hid this matter from me, could it be that there is a ghost in his heart?" ”

"I ...... I don't," Huan Ling explained bluntly: "I just don't think this matter is important, and I'm afraid that you will taste it." ”

Xie Zheng snorted coldly and said, "How did the county marquis know that I would eat it!" ”

"Aren't you just eating now......" Huan Ling said quite straightforwardly, but his words were true.

"You ......" Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, Xie Zheng was speechless, thinking about it since she was a child, no one can say anything about her, Huan Ling is the first today!

Huan Ling was complacent, and when he looked at Xie Zheng, he was like a spring breeze, and his eyes were slightly doting, and he also looked good.

Xie Zheng glanced at him, and only said: "In short, this matter needs to be struck while the iron is hot, and the county marquis immediately went to visit Princess Huainan and asked her to enter the palace to find her mother Ren Chonghua, and asked Ren Chonghua to propose to Luo Shuyi to ask His Majesty for an order, and ordered Xie Guifei to lead the palace women to Daming Temple in South Yanzhou to pray for the people of Jin'an County." That Ren Chonghua, who is the same sister as Luo Shuyi, as long as she blows a little wind in Luo Shuyi's ear, Luo Shuyi will definitely listen to her, not to mention that praying for the people is a virtuous act, which can not only win His Majesty's praise, but also steal the limelight from your concubine, she will not be careful. ”

Since he wanted to get rid of King Linchuan and Lu Huilin by the hand of King Wuling, Luo Shuyi naturally had to be involved.

"Let Princess Huainan come forward, go to Ren Chonghua, and then ask Ren Chonghua to find Luo Shuyi, and finally let Luo Shuyi go to Your Majesty, you have come in a big circle, aren't you still using Princess Huainan?"

"What? Reluctant? Is it only for her to take advantage of me, that I am not allowed to take advantage of her? Xie Zheng pretended to look at Huan Ling with an innocent face, Huan Ling hurriedly explained, and said: "No, I'm just worried, Xie Guifei will find out that it was Princess Huainan who designed to separate her, and then you and I will not trap her in injustice?" ”

Xie Zheng laughed: "Luo Shuyi asked Your Majesty for a decree, asking Xie Guifei to lead the palace to Daming Temple to pray for the people of Jin'an County, this move will definitely be praised by Your Majesty, and the county marquis thinks that she will willingly give up His Majesty's praise of her virtuous virtue to Ren Chonghua?" As long as she doesn't say it, who will know that this matter was proposed by Ren Chonghua, if no one knows that this matter is related to Ren Chonghua, who would have thought that Princess Huainan would also be involved? ”

Since Princess Huainan obviously didn't want to show up, Xie Zheng naturally wouldn't put her in danger, and if she used it a little, it was just a last resort.

"It's okay," Huan Ling nodded thoughtfully, then stood up and walked out, and said, "Then I'll go find her now." ”

Xie Zheng saw that he was walking out, and he didn't forget to advise: "But the county marquis came to visit this time, but don't mention Lu Huilin's tax corruption to her, just tell her to invite Concubine Xie to go to Southern Yanzhou, if she is really smart, she will understand." ”

"Got it."

Seeing that Huan Ling walked out with Zeng Qionglin, Xie Zheng also stood up and returned to Yazhuyuan with Yuzhi, the two walked into the courtyard with their front feet, and were just about to step in with their back feet, when they suddenly heard a long-lost and familiar voice behind them: "Xie Niangzi!" ”

Xie Zheng and Yuzhi stopped, turned to look, and immediately showed a happy look on their faces, Xie Zheng called in surprise: "You Xiao? ”

You Zheng trotted all the way to Xie Zheng, bowed his hand, and called again: "Xie Niangzi, my subordinates are back." ”

"I heard from You Jian last night that you came back today, I originally wanted to set up a banquet for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, but I was busy today, and I forgot about it for a while," Xie Zheng said, seeing the dust on You Xiao's shoulders, he took a handkerchief and dusted it for him, You Xiao smiled casually and said: "A subordinate person, how can you bother Xie Niangzi to pick up the wind and wash the dust." ”

"I treat you as a younger brother, who are the subordinates," Xie Zheng said, then turned around and went to the pavilion, and said: "Don't stand under the sun, look at you are tired from running around for so many days, I think you are not lightly sunburned, when you go, it is still Guan Yu, and when you come back, you will become Zhang Fei, I don't know, I think you have smeared mud on your face." ”

The more Xie Zheng spoke, the more he wanted to laugh, and when he finished speaking, the person had already walked into the gazebo, and You Xiao, the "Zhang Fei" who had been exposed, followed her into the gazebo, and couldn't help laughing.

"Sit down and rest," Xie Zheng finished talking to You Xiao, and then immediately instructed Yu Zhi: "Yu Zhi, go and call You Zhen." ”

Yuzhi answered, then turned around and walked down the pavilion, and went to the west across the courtyard.

Xie Zheng poured tea for You Xiao and sent it to him, and asked again: "Xie Wei's ashes, but have they been sent back?" ”

"Send it back," You Xiao took the tea and took a sip, Xie Zheng asked again: "The people of the Xie family, didn't you embarrass you?" ”

It is said that from Jiankang to Huiji, it takes up to 20 days to go back and forth, but it took a month for You Xiao to go back and forth, so Xie Zheng was faintly worried, I am afraid that the people of the Xie family did not recognize Xie Wei's death, so they deliberately embarrassed You Xiao, so You Xiao stayed in Huiji for a few days.

"It's not embarrassing, but I have to keep my subordinates there and arrange Xie Wei's funeral together, so it was delayed for another seven or eight days."

"That's okay, it's good if you don't embarrass you," Xie Zheng also picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then heard You Xiao say: "But...... Xie Wei's uncles and aunts, when they heard that their niece has now become the lord of Hengyang, said that they would take a moment to come to Jiankang to have a look. ”

"Don't!" When Xie Zheng heard this, he was both surprised and a little unbearable, and said with a smile: "One Xie Wei is enough for me, and a bunch of relatives, I'm afraid I won't have the energy to parry." ”

You Xiao couldn't help but want to laugh, and said: "Don't worry, lady, Xie Wei knows what Xie Zheng looks like, those relatives of the Xie family don't know, his subordinates heard from one of his aunts that Xie Wei's brothers and sisters grew up in the countryside since they were children, and they haven't seen each other for many years, even if they want to come over now, they won't notice that the identity of the lady is fake." ”

"If you want me to say, it's inconvenient to borrow someone else's identity, it's okay if you're alone, but it's really troublesome to have so many relatives popping up in plain air," Xie Zheng casually picked up the grapes on the stone table in front of him and peeled them up and sent them to his mouth.

After You Xiao finished drinking tea, he put down the teacup again, and suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Eh, Xie Niangzi, when the subordinates came back, I heard them say, Niangzi, you were assassinated when you worshipped the Buddha in Jiming Temple last month, but Gorou was negligent and failed to protect the lady?" ”

Before the words fell, before Xie Zheng could answer in a hurry, he heard You Jian shouting from the West Cross Courtyard: "Second brother! ”

You Jian also followed behind Yuzhi, and when he saw his second brother, he immediately crossed Yuzhi and ran excitedly, and when he arrived in the pavilion, as soon as You Xiao stood up, he pounced and hugged the person, and the innocence and simplicity of the seventeen-year-old boy were revealed at this moment, "Second brother! You're finally back, and I miss you! ”

"I smell of sweat, don't touch me," You Xiao wanted to push You Jian away, but You Zhen hugged him tightly, and he couldn't push it away for a while, and he remembered Xie Zheng's assassination, so he asked: "Wulang, Xie Niangzi was assassinated in Jiming Temple, were you negligent?" ”

As soon as he heard this, You Jian beat a drum in his heart, so he took the initiative to let go of You Xiao, stood in front of You Xiao, and obediently bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Xie Zheng explained: "That incident was unexpected by me, Mrs. Gu sent someone to poison the tea, so that a few of us couldn't use our strength, if it wasn't for You Jian to block it for me a few times, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand it." ”

"Is it Mrs. Gu?" You Xiao was a little angry in his eyes, and he also clearly remembered that Gu Lu's family had threatened to ask Xie Zheng to accompany Gu Yu to the funeral, but he didn't expect that she really dared to attack Xie Zheng!

Xie Zheng paused and said, "She has committed suicide, let's turn the page on this matter." ”

When You Xiao heard that Gu Lu had committed suicide, he was stunned for a moment at first, and then nodded in response: "Yes." ”

"Go back and rest, in the next few days, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trivial matters to trouble you," Xie Zheng finished speaking, his eyes turned to You Jian again, and said, "You Zhen, go and tell the pantry to boil some hot water, and ask your brother to wash it." ”

The two brothers agreed one after another, then turned around and retreated, and when the two walked down the pavilion, You Jian raised his arm and put it on You Xiaoxiao's shoulder, and he was so intimate with this brother that he hooked his shoulder, and he quipped: "Why does the second brother seem to be tanned." ”

"It's a lot of tanning, just now Xie Niangzi said that I became Zhang Fei from Guan Yu."

Xie Zheng was still sitting in the pavilion, casually shaking the fan, looking at You Xiao and You Jian returning to the West Cross Courtyard, and said with emotion: "When I first saw them, the two of them were still white-faced scholars, but now they are with me, running around outside all day long, and they don't look as good as before." ”

Yuzhi sat aside and said with a smile: "Actually, it's a little tanned in summer, as long as you wait until the cold weather to cover it for a while, you will come back in vain." ”

Xie Zheng didn't speak, but pondered in his heart, and suddenly said: "Go back and get an umbrella for each of them, and cover it when you go out." ”

When Yuzhi heard these shocking words, she couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Then you can't make people laugh to death when you go out for a walk?" You Jian Ke has been thinking about marrying a daughter-in-law, lady, don't you know, when he was injured last month, there was always a girl outside who came to see him, as soon as the slave asked him, he secretly said that he was just a sister, but the slave liked him when he saw the girl! Just this morning, didn't the lady give him two taels of silver for the begging festival, and he also said that he wanted to save the money, and he was sure that he was going to marry the girl. ”

When Xie Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed, smiled from ear to ear, stopped shaking Luo Fan's hand, looked sideways at the jade branch, eagerly cared about the girl, and asked, "What does that girl look like?" Is it good-looking? ”

"Good-looking is naturally good-looking, clean-looking, very delicate, not tall, thin, looks very petite, although the person is not big, but the craftsmanship of cooking is very exquisite, it is said that He You Jian is a native of another country, and he is also from Huai'an County."

"Huai'an?" Xie Zheng heard that the girl was from Huai'an, his eyes lit up, and his heart was very interested, and he said: "Since you are from Huai'an, and you can cook, then please come to the house to be a cook, presumably she can cook Huaiyang cuisine." ”

"The slave went to talk to You Jian and asked him to bring someone over," Yuzhi stood up as she spoke, Xie Zheng hurriedly pulled her back, and said with a smile: "Don't tell him yet, you can arrange this matter, go back and bring that girl to him and give him a surprise." ”

Yuzhi seemed to be a little embarrassed, and sneered: "But...... The slave doesn't know where that girl lives......"

Xie Zheng was stunned: "Oh...... It's also ......."

Yuzhi thought for a while, and suddenly said: "But today's begging festival, he will definitely ask someone to go out shopping, and then the slave will go with him to see, if he can find the girl's residence, and when he is busy for a while, the slave will invite her to come to the house to be a cook, if he can't find it, the slave will find another way." ”

"Okay, then it's up to you."
