"yes, I know he's safe."

Ji Sanniang said it easily, but her expression was obviously unnatural, and Fu Xiaojiu could see that she was hiding something.

Fu Xiaojiu saw that Ji Sanniang's mood was wrong, and he didn't ask her why, and asked casually: "We didn't know that there was a flood in the south, it turned out that the flood and typhoid fever delayed Brother Li's reply." My husband estimates that he will be able to reply to him tomorrow, will you join me? Your letters can be sent together. ”

"Hmm." Ji Sanniang nodded a little absentmindedly, "It's not too early, I should go back." My shop is all arranged, and I can still come to help my godmother tomorrow, and I won't be able to come when my godmother is all smooth. ”

Although Wan Pozi is good, she didn't know how to read before, and it is not easy to recognize all the words of the pot bottom recipe in a short time, if there is no Ji Sanniang to help today, maybe she will make a mistake.

Wan Pozi said gratefully: "Fortunately, with Sanniang's help, today passed smoothly." I have to quickly recognize all the words on our formula, I can't always ask Sanniang to help, otherwise what are you hiring me for? ”

Ji Sanniang said with a smile: "Godmother, I'm not tired." I still think the day has been very fulfilling. ”

Fu Xiaojiu looked at Wan Pozi's face and became tired, so he said: "I estimate that our store can be busy for a few days, mother, if you feel that you need Sanniang's help, don't be polite to her, you have a lot of things to manage, and if you can let people help, it's better to let people help." ”

Ji Sanniang also said: "Godmother, don't be polite to me, don't forget that this store is also mine, and I should contribute to the store." ”

Wan Pozi was afraid that she could make a mistake, so she had to say, "Okay, I know." Sanniang, you better stay and eat with us before going back. ”

Ji Sanniang insisted on leaving, "Godmother, I ate a snack just now, and I'm not hungry at this time." My feet are a little sore, and I want to go home and soak my feet first. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said to Mrs. Wan: "Mother, let Sanniang go back and rest first, I have never been so busy, and I must feel tired when I am so busy." ”

"That's okay, I'll send Sanniang." Mrs. Wan also has to send Ji Sanniang home.

Ji Sanniang hurriedly said: "No need godmother, I'll just go back by myself." It's very close to my house, so you can rest. ”

Wan Pozi still wanted to send her, but Fu Xiaojiu grabbed Wan Pozi, "Mother, this is not like our family and workshop, this is really close to Sanniang's house, and it doesn't hurt for her to go back alone." ”

"That's it, then I'll go first, and you all rest early."

Ji Sanniang put on her cloak and went out as she spoke.

"Hey......" Wan Pozi still wanted to send her.

Fu Xiaojiu grabbed her, "Mother, just let her go back alone." She can go back quietly alone. ”

"She's alone?" Wan Pozi was puzzled.

Fu Xiaojiu said with an obscure expression: "Mother, don't you see that Sanniang's face is a little wrong?" ”

Wan Pozi was stunned, "What's wrong with her face?" Oops, did you really exhaust her today? ”

Fu Xiaojiu shook his head, "She's not tired." When I mentioned Li Dalong's reply, I found that her face was wrong, maybe it was something Li Dalong said in the letter he wrote to her.

Wan Pozi immediately glared, "Huh? Could it be that Li Dalong doesn't want her anymore? ”

Fu Xiaojiu guessed: "I don't think that's the case. Forget it, let's not guess, we know that she wants to be quiet alone, let's just not disturb her. I guess Li Dalong must have told her something that only they knew. ”

Wan Pozi blamed herself and said: "You said that I have such eyes, why don't I see anything?" I'm so dizzy. ”

Fu Xiaojiu was not idle when he got home, and discussed the matter of the hot pot shop with Wan Pozi for a while, and after discussing the business, Wan Pozi asked curiously: "Xiao Jiu, what did Li Dalong write in the letter?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu told Li Dalong what he said in the letter to Wan Pozi.

Wan Pozi said as if she didn't understand: "This third prince can be the crown prince, won't he be the emperor in the future?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu said cautiously: "Now this is just a rumor, but if the third prince can control the flood, the sage may really consider making him the prince." ”

When Mrs. Wan heard this, she couldn't help but ask expectantly: "Li Dalong said that if the third prince becomes the prince, the third child may be able to become an official if he is promoted, is this reliable?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu replied without hesitation: "Unreliable." We can't pin our hopes on the three princes. Think about it, if Xianggong becomes a staff member of the three princes, what if the three princes can't become the prince, or even if he becomes the prince, what if something goes wrong in the future and he can't inherit the throne? Isn't the prime minister going to be affected? ”

When Wan Pozi heard Fu Xiaojiu's words, she felt a chill coming out of her back, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, what you said makes sense." You can't let the third child count on someone to take a shortcut now. We still have to take the test in a down-to-earth manner! ”

Fu Xiaojiu saw that Wan Pozi understood what he meant, and said with relief: "Mother, I know that you are an understanding person." ”

At this time, Wan Lin also finished reading Li Dalong's reply, and was preparing to reply to him under the lamp.

Wan Lin and Fu Xiaojiu thought the same, and they didn't have the slightest intention of clinging to the third prince.

Wan Lin wrote back to Li Dalong, saying that he was okay in the county, and he won the first place in the two monthly exams.

Wan Lin didn't say this to ask Li Dalong for credit, he felt that it was better to tell the truth, Li Dalong has many ears and eyes, if he hides it from Li Dalong, and then let Li Dalong know through others, it will seem that he is too petty.

In the letter, Wan Lin also mentioned that Fu Xiaojiu had now opened a pharmaceutical workshop and a pot shop, and said that when Li Dalong came back, he would let him take the old lady to taste Fu Xiaojiu's medicinal food pot together.

Wan Lin also talked about the fate of Qian County Commander and Cao Heizi and others, saying that the newly appointed Qin County Commander seemed to be a good official, and the people in the county could live a peaceful life.

Wan Lin could see that Li Dalong had clearly expressed his support for the three princes in the letter this time, but he pretended to be confused, and did not mention anything about the three princes in the letter.

The hot pot shop doesn't need to open too early, but Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Pozi arrived at the store early in order not to make a mistake.

The vegetable vendor finished delivering the goods, and the guys in the store prepared all the ingredients for the day, and it was almost at the end of the day that diners began to come to the door, and the hot pot shop was officially opened.

As soon as the door panel of the gate was taken down, Ji Sanniang came.

Ji Sanniang handed over the letter to Li Dalong to Fu Xiaojiu, and said calmly: "Please send my letter and Wan Xiucai's letter together." ”

Fu Xiaojiu took the letter and said, "My father-in-law can go out at noon, and I will send both you and his letters to the post station at noon." ”

"Thank you." Although Ji San looked no different from usual today, he obviously talked less.

Fu Xiaojiu accepted the letter and said to Mrs. Wan: "Mother, everything that should be prepared is ready, and I will go to the hospital." If there is anything you need my help with, you and Sanniang can come to the hospital to find me. ”

Wan Pozi said confidently: "You can rest assured." According to our current reputation in the county, it is impossible for anyone to come to our family's trouble. ”

Fu Xiaojiu looked at the guests who had come to the door one after another, and looked at the guys greeting the guests in an orderly manner, she had nothing to worry about.

If she doesn't want to let go, she'll never let go.

Fu Xiaojiu decided not to care about the hot pot shop for a day today, so he handed over the store to Wan Pozi and Ji Sanniang.

returned to the medical hall, but Fu Xiaojiu was worried about another thing.

Feng Zhongjun and the others had been walking with the caravan for more than ten days, and they didn't know if their group had safely delivered the goods to General Huo.

Fu Xiaojiu counts the days, and in two or three days, Feng Zhongjun and they should come back.

Fu Xiaojiu went to Wan Lin at noon, Wan Lin told Fu Xiaojiu about Li Dalong's mention of the three princes, and the two of them had the same thoughts, and they both felt that they could not have the idea of attaching themselves to the three princes, and Wan Lin should still study with peace of mind.

Coincidentally, Li Dalong only replied to the letter yesterday, and the people in the county knew about the appointment of the three princes to manage the floods.

The entire county school is spreading that the three princes came out for a trial this time, and it must be the emperor who is testing his ability, if the flood can be successfully controlled, he may be able to be directly appointed as the prince as soon as he returns to Beijing.

And even the news that the three princes fancy the students of the poor family has spread, and all the students now have a very high opinion of the three princes, and they all hope that he can become the prince.

"Xianggong, do you think the third prince will become the prince?" Fu Xiaojiu wanted to know Wan Lin's opinion.

Wan Lin did not hide it from Fu Xiaojiu, and truthfully stated his opinion.

"I think it's true that this flood control is a test for the three princes by the saint, but I think that even if the three princes successfully control the flood, the saint may not be able to immediately appoint him as the prince."

"Why is that?" Fu Xiaojiu asked puzzled.

Wan Lin smiled easily, "Because this time the saint only tested the three princes, but the seven princes, who were quite vocal by the prince, did not make any moves, presumably the saint should want to see the ability of the three princes, and then entrust the seven princes with important tasks, and then make a choice between the two of them." But we are not saints, so we may not be able to guess the holy will. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said indifferently: "This is all a matter of the court, and it has little to do with us at present, so let's not talk about these things for now." ”

Speaking of this, Fu Xiaojiu took a step closer to Wan Lin and said mysteriously: "I want to tell you, as soon as I mentioned Li Dalong's reply yesterday, I saw that Ji Sanniang's expression was wrong, and I don't know what Li Dalong mentioned in the letter he wrote to her. ”

"Oh?" Wan Lin was also curious about what Li Dalong said to Ji Sanniang.

Fu Xiaojiu explained: "I don't have to want to know about other people's private affairs, but since Ji Sanniang is your godsister, I want to know if she has encountered any difficulties, and I don't want her to bear it alone." ”
