Chapter 50: Discord
Soon after Wen Zhesang returned to the yamen, the official returned with the county chronicles. She had a cursory look at it, and Old Man Wei had indeed preserved the county chronicles very well, so that only one copy of them was needed to completely replace the damaged county chronicles. She immediately found Song Hanshu and handed over the task of transcribing to him.
After instructing this, she went into the study again, and ordered no one to disturb her.
Here, Song Hanshu asked Xie Yikou to help him move the county chronicles and blank booklets. The warm and smoky wind blew in his face, and he mischievously blew the pages of the book, revealing the white and black words inside.
"With so many words, I have a headache when I look at them." Xie Yikou glanced at it and turned his head away in disgust.
"There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. What's more, these are the county records from 60 years ago to the present, whether it is the scenic spots in the past or the leisure anecdotes, they are all valuable assets that people have today. ”
Song Hanshu has been raising his body for several months, and now he is gradually getting better, or maybe the summer is too full of vitality, and even his illness is much less. Anyway, Xie Yikou saw that his face was ruddy and healthy in the past few days.
"Wealth?" Xie Yikou turned his head to look at Song Hanshu, he seemed to want to open the heads of these literati scholars to see what was inside, "What can be held in your hand is real." You can't see or touch these things you said, so you deceive the child. ”
Song Hanshu just smiled, not annoyed by his words.
After a while, Shui Yanwei and her party also hurried back. Xie Yikou saw it from a distance, that Miss Jin Gui's face was not good-looking, and then he watched Jiang Weixi jump up to the person out of nowhere, and he didn't make a surprise, but scared the person a lot.
Jiang Weixi hurriedly apologized to others, but Shui Yanwei ignored him in a daze, and asked Xia Zhi to stop him, leaving Jiang Weixi behind.
"Water girl, I really didn't mean to, I just wanted to surprise you!" Jiang Weixi shouted loudly, but Xia Zhi stood in front of him, his eyes were glaring, it was quite scary.
"You disciple, toad wants to eat swan meat! How can you think of my young lady? You don't look in the mirror to see what you look like, a kitchen errand thing, standing in front of my young lady has stained her eyes! "Dongxue went to find Wen Zhesang, and Xia Zhi was not afraid of being scolded by her, and her pungent temperament was immediately revealed.
Seeing that Shui Yanwei quickened her pace and avoided him as if avoiding trouble, Jiang Weixi looked disappointed, and did not refute Xia Zhi's words to belittle him. Anyway, it's not the first time he's been scolded, and he scolds him, can he still beat people?
Jiang Weixi sighed and was about to leave, but Xia Zhi gritted his teeth and suddenly gave birth to a little kindness, "Let me tell you, my young lady is going to marry a prince and general, and it is best for an inferior person like you not to entangle anymore, otherwise ......" can only disappear into the world."
The last half of the sentence rolled in Xia Zhizhi's throat and swallowed it back. Miss is now under the fence, or don't have more rights and wrongs. If this person is unrepentant, it's a big deal to wait until he returns to Beijing and then tell the master, so that the master can deal with him.
In the past two months of coming to Qingfeng County, the summer solstice has also learned a lot, at least she has understood that this is not Shangjing.
However, Jiang Weixi didn't understand, he grinned and said: "I guess you must not have someone you like, love is free, do you understand?" What kind of prince and general, is it more happy than being with the person you like? Although the water girl doesn't like me now, I'm sure she will understand my heart. "Otherwise, how can you be worthy of so many scripts that you have read?
The summer solstice doesn't understand. Even she felt that her little kindness was eaten by a dog, "Whatever you think, in short, it is impossible for you and my young lady, let me tell you the truth, empty and powerless like to be worthless in front of the rich and rich." I advise you to accept the reality as soon as possible and stay away from my young lady. ”
At this point, she said everything she should have said, and she followed quickly in the direction where Shui Yanwei left.
A stone hit Jiang Weixi's head, he turned his head viciously, and when he saw that it was Xie Yikou, he immediately walked over with a sad face, sighing and sighing: "Big brother, people are more popular than people." ”
What he just said to Xia Zhi was just that he was being strong, for two months, he tried his best to get a smile from the water girl, and he could feel that she had no idea about himself at all, but he just didn't give up, he just wanted to...... Thinking that I finally met someone I liked, if I didn't hurry up, I might lose it if I didn't pay attention.
But he can't do anything about this alone, and people don't care about his humble liking at all.
Xia Zhi said that the water girl would marry the prince and general, and maybe marry someone she didn't like...... Alas, she just can't marry herself who likes her.
Jiang Weixi pursed his lips and squatted on the ground, exuding a pitiful aura all over his body.
Jiang Weixi kicked him from behind, and scolded with a smile: "At least Miss Shui has always been clearly rejecting you, she is a person who understands, let you die as soon as possible, it is good for everyone." ”
"Alas, it would be good if she deceived me......" Jiang Weixi touched the place where he was kicked and was distressed, "Big brother, can I be regarded as dying before I get out of school?" ”
Xie Yikou gave him a pair of white eyes.
After a while, Jiang Weixi finally expressed his complaints, turned his head and asked about business, "Do you have any arrangements?" ”
Xie Yikou said: "Two days later, I will take a team of brothers into the mountains to investigate, and when the time comes, you will stay by the side of the adults and never leave." Those people were able to find Shantang, and I suspect they would have been in the county for a long time. ”
Jiang Weixi secretly stammered, "This is also true." But what exactly do you think they're for? Do you want to be king? But our brothers have already voted for the imperial court, so they don't need to find us out again, just occupy Xia Qingshan or other nearby mountains and forests? Why is it so bothering? ”
Xie Yikou shrugged: "Who knows." ”
"Forget it, you'll always know." Jiang Weixi stood up and patted the dust on his body and muttered, "I'm back in the back kitchen." ”
On the other side, Xia Zhi didn't see Shui Yanwei's shadow all the way, she felt strange in her heart, slowed down and looked around along the way, but found nothing. It wasn't until she returned to the guest house that she couldn't find anyone anywhere, so she panicked. Just when she was hurriedly about to find Wen Zhesang, Shui Yanwei came back by herself.
Xia Zhi hurriedly greeted him, "Where did the young lady go, let the slave and maid be easy to find!" ”
Shui Yanwei's face was a little strange, and there was some panic in her eyes that she didn't have time to tie up, and when she was asked by Xia Zhi, she suddenly came back to her senses and made an excuse casually. "Fang Cai, I was tired of walking, so I found a gazebo and sat for a while."
"Why didn't the slave see it?" The summer solstice is still strange.
"The gazebo is hidden from the branches, and you will not see me from outside. I remembered, didn't I buy a lot of rouge today, you go and pick a few good ones, and I'll take them to Sister Wen. ”
Hearing this, Xia Zhi hurriedly put down the doubts in his heart, picked out a few small and delicate wooden boxes from the large bags and small bags he bought, and then walked back to Shui Yanwei's side, "Miss treats Lord Wen really well, I think about her everything." However, the slave maid looked at Lord Wen's treatment of Miss was no different from others, so she said that Jiang Weixi, he was dangling in front of Miss all day long, and everyone could see what An's thoughts were, but Lord Wen didn't know it, and he was very indulgent. ”
Shui Yanwei turned around and was about to go to find Wen Zhesang, these words entered her ears, her lips moved, she was about to refute, but she thought about it again, is there really something Wen Zhesang didn't know about what happened in the yamen? She must just not want to be distracted by her own business.
Outside the high walls of the yamen, Du Ruoqiao hid her figure in a tree with lush foliage, and behind her was a deep alley, but there were not many residents, and the blue sky and white day looked a little gloomy. She waited for a long time before she saw a dark shadow come out of the wall and quickly hide in the alley.
Du Ruoqiao hurriedly chased after him, and when she saw the man waiting around the corner unscathed, she snorted: "I don't think the guards of this yamen are so strict. I waited so long and I didn't see the patrol. ”
The woman in black laughed at her for being ignorant and fearless, "I was almost discovered, but fortunately, there are a lot of abandoned courtyards there, so I can hide." As for you, are you embarrassed to say this without even going in the yamen? ”
"You!" Du Ruoqiao glared at her, "Didn't you ask me to pick you up outside?" You're becoming more and more unable to communicate. ”
After sulking for a while, Du Ruoqiao saw that the woman in black was leaving, so he hurriedly asked her, "What are your plans?" Can you really let that one come with us? Or kill the county order, so as not to have many dreams at night. ”
"I made a bet." The woman in black laughed slowly, her face was still disguised today, but at this moment, Du Ruoqiao seemed to see the arrogant and unruly woman a few months ago.
"I gamble on people's hearts." The voice of the woman in black seemed to be mixed with ice, which made Du Ruoqiao shiver.
"I've been here for two months, and every time I see Sister Wen always busy, unlike me, I've been idle, but it's a joke." Shui Yanwei took Xia Zhi to find the study, "Today I went to hang out for a while and bought some rouge gouache, although it is not as good as what my sister used in Shangjing, but it can be a novelty." ”
Wen Zhesang's gaze swept over the boxes, and he didn't shirk: "You are here to be a guest, how can you make you tired." The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is probably the first time you've spent it outside, right? Now that I am in my first year in office, I cannot return to Beijing if I have nothing to do. You are different, someone in the family is reading it, and Uncle Shui sent an urgent letter yesterday, asking me to persuade you to go home. But I don't count these things as I said, and you have to decide for yourself. ”
"Yes, that's the case......," Shui Yanwei smiled bitterly, "But doesn't Sister Wen know what my father wants me to do when I go back?" It's nothing more than the arrangement I promised them to marry someone I don't love. ”
Without waiting for Wen Zhesang to speak, she pressed her reddened eye sockets, and said to herself: "I know that I am not as good as you in everything, I am not a long-term heir, I have no mother-in-law's protection, and I have no clever means, I am walking on thin ice every day in the house." It's easy for me to have a little thought...... But that's just a flower in the fog, a moon in the water, out of reach. ”
