Chapter 13: Reaching the Water Poor (6)
"If Lord Xiao Yang is because of Scholar Yang, then it is really a wrongful and lowly position, although the humble position is not very good, but he has always been extremely important, and since he has received the gift of Scholar Yang, there is no reason to sue......"
"I know."
Yang Xi finally opened his mouth, with a little unconcealable anger, and then the sound of rustling clothes, Yang Hanxing turned around, just hit the fur edge of his cloak, his nose itched, and he couldn't help sneezing.
- She turned her head in time, but she had been freezing outside for the past two days, and she was indeed a little cold, and then coughed several times.
It's all like this, and I have to fight a lawsuit with him: "Look at you, I don't know if I ...... when I come"
Yang Xi remembered her cold fingertips, swallowed back the words she was about to say, hesitated, but still reached out and closed the roster she had just opened.
One thing is one thing, and the household department really doesn't have the rule that the roster has to be read in the library pavilion.
Yang Hanxing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Lord Xiao Yang won't be going to give an order to expel guests, it's a private matter between the two of us, this is a public matter, Lord Xiao Yang has always been a clear distinction between public and private......"
Yang Xi put the roster on the top of the stack she hadn't read, bent over, and hugged the whole stack.
"You can also see it."
Yang Hanxing was stunned again, but quickly came back to his senses, picked up a stack of books and followed quickly.
As soon as she entered the value house, it was really much warmer, and Yang Hanxing felt that the blood in her limbs was flowing again. Yang Xi cleaned up the desk where he had just studied, put Yang Hanxing's roster on it, and added a few pieces of charcoal to the brazier that was already a little dark. After hesitating, he went and closed the door.
"Lord Xiao Yang is really a good person, you still have such a dirty position with you, you can still worry about me being cold......"
But in fact, she sighed in her heart: The household department is rich, and she can use charcoal in the winter moon.
"I brought it from my own home."
"I say, it looks much more elaborate than our yamen......"
Yang Hanxing followed with a fart, but Yang Xi didn't let her finish, he turned around and stared at her with a pair of eyes.
Yang Xi's eyebrows and eyes are really beautiful, like peach blossom eyes, long eyelashes and long tails, and his eyes are crooked when he laughs, but no, the tails of his eyes go down, it is said that this kind of eye shape is easy to show weakness and decadence, but Yang Xi is not, because his eyes are always looking forward, sincere and warm.
Under such eyes, those false and superficial words, Yang Hanxing suddenly couldn't speak.
After a busy day, she was really tired.
"You've been ingratiating favor with me. Why? ”
Yang Hanxing was surprised by his sharpness, and also cheered up again: "Don't you understand Lord Xiao Yang, naturally there are people who ask for help and will please people." ”
"If you ask me to open my mouth directly, I won't refuse to accept it in official matters because of personal feelings, and you also know that I will definitely not help in private matters, so why bother so roundabout."
It's also true, Yang Xi is not a roundabout person. Because she was afraid of her, she felt that it was wrong for him to hold a grudge, and later she felt that he would not help her if she had a personal grudge, and it was even more wrong.
Yang Hanxing corrected his mistake in time and took out the letter from his arms: "I don't hide it, I hope that Lord Xiao Yang can help me read this letter." ”
Yang Xi glanced at it and didn't answer: "Don't help." ”
Yang Hanxing: ......
What about saying that good personal feelings don't disturb official affairs?
Yang Xi is justified for being arrogant: "The investigation is the business of the Three Law Divisions, and it is not under the control of the Ministry of Households." ”
"But this case can't be solved, and the people who are in charge of this matter, including Dongchang and Shuntianfu, will be punished."
Yang Xi was unmoved: "The county government yamen, detective is a profession, and if you can't break it, you should be punished. ”
Yang Hanxing somewhat figured out Yang Xi's way, he tried to be reasonable and only reasonable. It stands to reason that he just shouldn't help.
But is that entirely the case? Yang Hanxing moved her already warm fingers, wondering why she had come here from the Library Pavilion.
"But Lord Xiao Yang also knows that now the court does not act in accordance with the law. The day before yesterday, Duan Xiuji, a hundred households in the East Factory, also had the impression that Lord Xiao Yang also had the impression that he was given poisoned wine because he said two bad things about Liu Jin after he was drunk. The punishment of lowly officials is not the punishment of degrading officials and salaries, but so on. ”
Yang Xi stopped talking.
Yang Hanxing opened the top book: "If Lord Xiao Yang thinks that the rules are still above human life, he should just be humble and have not said anything." ”
After a long time, Yang Xi spoke: "What do you need me to do?" ”
Yang Hanxing once again pushed the letter in his hand to him: "Just help the humble to read this letter." ”
Yang Xi studied under the great calligrapher Zhu Yunming, who has a small reputation in the capital, and must know more about handwriting, paper and ink than her.
She always felt that there should be more to this letter than what she saw.
Yang Xi took out the letter inside, and frowned when he saw it, but he still patiently said to Yang Hanxing one by one: "The envelope is just an ordinary envelope, but other than that, it is very precious." ”
Is paper also valuable? Yang Hanxing was puzzled, she looked at it like an ordinary note.
Yang Hanxing glanced at her: "It's jade paper, it looks like an ordinary note, but it's actually whiter than ordinary paper." He took out a piece of paper from the bookcase and put it in a place for Yang Hanxing to see: "It's not obvious, but you can see it when you compare it." ”
Yang Hanxing looked at the light, and it was indeed a little whiter.
"And firm, the ink does not seep."
Yang Xi picked up the pen and wrote on it, very quickly, Yang Hanxing reacted that this was evidence that he had already finished writing when he couldn't write, and she had to simply say nothing, just stretched out her head to see that it was a cursive "cold" word.
Wang Yang was unbridled, Yang Hanxing couldn't help but admire, there was indeed a faint demeanor of everyone.
"Look. It is the paper-making method handed down in the Song Dynasty, the process is complicated, although the quality is good but it is difficult to inherit, not to mention the mass production, now only the new ones are produced, and they are not circulated in the market, and all the tributes are paid into the palace. ”
Something in the palace?
Yang Hanxing's brows furrowed.
Yang Xi didn't stop, Yang Hanxing just let him see things, didn't let him distinguish them, he didn't care, just said to her: "Light is not black, it's the best Hui Mo."
He went back to reading the letter, and the more he read it, the more his brow furrowed.
Yang Hanxing felt that he understood his state of mind at this time, and he was about the same as seeing a famous sword on her street that was only hanging on the waist of a gentleman as a decoration, and his heart would definitely be full of regret for the destruction of the heavens.
"I won't say what is written, it's just a vent of anger, you can see it if you think about it, as for the handwriting."
Yang Xi finally couldn't hold back and got angry again: "It's really bad to practice this pen and paper." ”
After the end of the gas, the rules of writing with her to say: "The study of this thing, the more from a young age, the better, ordinary five or six years old, the famous post carefully copied and written for two years, all kinds of characters can be made, but to have their own meaning in it, into a party, this is a long-term practice, when you are young, do not practice or do not read, and the crown is angry, and then work hard, the glyphs are difficult to achieve, what is written is the same as the small note, than the cat and the tiger, barely able to let people see clearly is a word to know the meaning." ”
The truth became clearer and clearer in Yang Hanxing's heart: "What does Lord Xiao Yang mean is that the person who wrote this letter was not literate when he was a child? ”
Yang Xi's mind has calmed down: "I don't know, I only told you what it might be, as for what it is, it's up to you to decide." ”
He put the note in an envelope and handed it to Yang Hanxing: "I've read it all." ”
"One more thing."
Yang Hanxing grabbed Yang Xi's wrist and handed it to his nose: "Little Yang, do you know, what kind of fragrance is this fragrance?" ”
Yang Xi sniffed carefully.
"Qi Nanxiang."
Qi Nan is the best agarwood, tribute, and is dedicated to the palace.
Yang Hanxing looked up at Yang Xi: "Is Lord Xiao Yang sure?" ”
Yang Xi also looked at her seriously: "Every time my uncle comes back from the palace, he has this fragrance on his body. ”
The two looked at each other, and their hearts were full of thoughts.
Yang Hanxing understood why Zhao Nantian looked sad, but in fact he didn't care about this case. For example, she didn't know who lived in Zhengxifang and Zhengchongbeifang, but she was not familiar with the outer city, but Zhao Nantian had been the governor of Shuntianfu for ten years, and his subordinate officials would go around that area every day and report to him, why did he say he didn't know when she asked him?
Yang Xi was thinking about Yang Hanxing, he didn't say anything, it didn't mean that he didn't understand anything, so could he believe what she said? Did he really do it right?
Yang Hanxing pondered for a while, took the letter from Yang Xi's hand, and said goodbye to him: "Today's matter, thank you Xiao Yang, I owe you a favor for your humble position, and then you can find a humble position, and you will never give up!" There are other things to do, so let's go first. ”
Yang Xi pointed to the roster on the bookcase: "Don't you read this?" ”
Yang Hanxing then remembered that she came here mainly to see the roster. But now where is the need for this? Zhao Nantian's Shuntianfu Yin of the third grade couldn't afford to knock out her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, so she could only suffer this loss and carry this pot with him.
I knew that it was better to go and be a concubine for Yu Feng, so I didn't have to worry about my life, Yang Hanxing said at this time that she was not annoyed that it was fake, she picked and chosen, but she still picked up a big fire pit to jump.
"Ah, the lowly has already found the evidence on the side, so there is no need to be so troublesome."
Yang Hanxing perfunctorily looked at him, and reached out to hold the roster on the bookcase: "It's really troublesome for Lord Xiao Yang, let's put these books back." ”
Yang Xi didn't stop her, but he said, "You're going to give up." ”
Yang Hanxing stopped.
There was obviously suppressed anger in Yang Xi's voice: "Because it involves a battle in the palace, because there is a big man behind it, so you are not going to investigate, are you?" Is it the same for you to handle cases in Dongchang on weekdays? ”
It's not aimed at people, Yang Hanxing just really hates this kind of fearless naivety.
