"Miss Wen is really, it's clear that the catcher is rude to you, she doesn't care! I don't know if I'm an official, but the slave doesn't seem to be so close to you anymore. In the guest room, Xia Zhi helped Shui Yanwei to lie down, and when she turned around, she was about to ask someone to bring hot water in, but she remembered that there was no one waiting outside the door, and her face sank by two points, "Miss is so expensive, it's unbearable to come to this dilapidated place, why doesn't Miss Wen arrange for a waiter?" ”

Shui Yanwei didn't drink well, so she drank a lot of things in her heart today. At this moment, his face was flushed, and his head was a little drowsy. She listened to Xia Zhi's complaints, and only felt that she was extremely noisy. Besides, there are some things that are not her turn to talk about.

"What are you taking you with me for?" The corners of Shui Yanwei's eyes were slightly red, and her eyes that were moistened by wine were three points drunk and one point cold.

Xia Zhi stopped his mouth suddenly, lowered his head and said, "The slave is here to serve the young lady." The slave is going to fetch hot water......"

"Miss Shui, have you fallen asleep?" Outside the door, there was the sound of Dongxue's inquiry.

Xia Zhi subconsciously looked at Shui Yanwei, but saw that she had closed her eyes. Xia Zhi had a plan in his heart. She walked to the door and opened the door for Dong Xue, stretched out her index finger to her mouth and shouted, "Miss has fallen asleep, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Let's bring some decanting soup to Miss Shui." Dongxue didn't look into the house, and she had long lost her enthusiasm for the master and servant. "You should also be careful, Miss Shui is afraid that it is not good to sleep like this. There's hot water in the kitchen, but you shouldn't know how to get there. ”

Xia Zhi thanked her and took the decanting soup, and when she was waiting for Dongxue to bring the hot water, she heard Dongxue continue: "You first feed the decanting soup to Miss Shui, and then I'll take you to the back kitchen." Our yamen is not big, you can recognize the road after walking once or twice. ”

Xia Zhi shook his throat and glanced into the room, "I'm not at ease to leave Miss here alone." ”

Dongxue said angrily: "What do you think this place is?" You don't close your door at night, and no one dares to disturb the peace of your young lady. ”

"I don't agree with what you say, my young lady has just arrived, and it is hard to guarantee that there will be no careless servants, and I don't know who lives here. If you collide with Miss at that time, can you afford it? ”

This man is really messing around. Dongxue was so angry that she had a headache, "Okay, then you just wait here, anyway, there is no one here, and you can't find your way to the back kitchen when the time comes, don't make trouble." ”

She turned around and was about to leave, but at this time, Xia Solstice stopped her, "Slow!" I can't leave here, you go and bring hot water. Aren't you a subordinate in the yamen? What's expensive? ”

Dongxue endured and endured, but she didn't lose her temper, this is the first day that Shui Yanwei and the others came, no matter what, she has to let it go. But for the summer solstice, whether it is in Shangjing or here, she has always disliked. She couldn't figure out why a gentle and virtuous person like Miss Shui would keep Xia Solstice by her side, and she would stay for several years.

But this is someone else's business, and she has no right to ask.

But she didn't just tolerate it, and immediately ridiculed Xia Zhi: "I'm a subordinate and a servant of adults, what kind of thing are you to instruct me?" Today, for the sake of your young lady, I don't care about you, Ming'er, you have to take a good look at whether this is the Jingshui Mansion, and if you leave there, what kind of big girl are you pretending? Besides, I call me 'I' to adults, but you are still called 'slave and maid', where is not inferior? ”

She also followed the adults for many years when she went to Beijing, and those aunts and concubines in the house were not good people, and they had seen a lot of people like Xia Zhi who were messing around and seeing the wind and making the rudder, so she naturally knew how to say it to poke at the weakness.

Hearing these words, Xia Zhi's delicate face was really distorted, but she was afraid that her young lady was still in the room, so she was not good at spilling. So he sneered and scolded Dong Xue and said: "I haven't seen you for half a year, but you are more sharp than before." But what's the use of good talk, don't you have to obediently go to serve tea and pour water for my young lady? I think you'd better hurry up and send hot water, if my young lady has a headache and brain fever, isn't it still your young lady who is worried? Maybe she'll blame you for not being so careful. ”

Dongxue couldn't look down on her, so she turned around and left: "Okay, I see that the sobering soup is almost cold, even if your young lady is sick and cold, she should ask you for your sin." ”

As soon as the words fell, she heard the sound of Xia Solstice hurrying to the house.

At night, the bright moon hangs high, and the clear light of the ground is sprinkled into the courtyard, and even if you don't use a lantern, you can see the road under your feet clearly.

Dongxue brought hot water from the back kitchen, and met Wen Zhesang halfway.

Wen Zhisang stopped her: "Take Xia Solstice around another day to familiarize her with the environment." ”

Dongxue nodded in response, not saying a word about what had just happened. Although she just said that she was angry, there was one thing she didn't talk nonsense. She knew that since she followed the adults to Qingfeng County, the adults rarely let her do the work of the subordinates, and even taught her to read and hyphenate after knowing that she liked Song Hanshu.

Dong Xue came from a humble background, but Song Hanshu was a real reader, the two of them were not in the right household, and the stupid goose only had sage books in his heart. She also had the idea of giving up, but when she thought of the good intentions of adults, she forgot everything.

Everyone has the right to fight for themselves - this is what the adults themselves told her.

She wouldn't be like Xia Solstice, who would treat herself like a dog and bark around to boast how loyal she was to her master. She was so lucky to meet an adult, so she had to seize the opportunity.

Dong Xue cheered for herself in her heart and put the grievances she had just suffered behind her.

Looking at the back of her leaving, Wen Zhisang couldn't help frowning. She knows the maid on the summer solstice, that person has always been spicy, and she doesn't know how many people she offended with that mouth...... So she couldn't understand Shui Yanwei's intention of bringing her to Qingfeng County for a while.

But as long as Shui Yanwei is willing, she won't ask.

"Your Excellency hasn't rested yet?" Xie Yikou just threw Jiang Weixi, who was drunk and muttering and reciting scripts, back to the room, and couldn't sleep for a while, so he wandered around the yamen...... No, he's on patrol for everyone's safety.

Wen Zhesang turned his head to see him, and suddenly remembered that he didn't know when the distance between them had been so close. It was as if as soon as she turned around, the man would stand not far away and look at her, like tonight, in the glowing moonlight.

She was terrified, and casually said a reason: "The matter of the school has not been solved yet, and I can't sleep." ”

She was standing under the corridor, Xie Yikou walked over, leaning against the red column, "Don't worry too much, my lord, isn't the plan charter already listed, as long as you act according to the plan, everything is fine." ”

Wen Zhesang shook his head: "I promised to let Wang Ze be the mountain chief of Yunting Academy, but I didn't tell him that Yunting Academy is only for students to enlighten, if he knows, I'm afraid he will make a big fuss." ”

Old Man Wei and his students are really difficult to solve, and most of the scholars stubbornly admit death, Wen Zhesang made a promise on the one hand, and made a big turn in the plan on the other, which is actually a big risk.

"What's this?" Xie Yikou snorted, Wen Zhesang thought that he was going to say "If those people don't listen, they will be kidnapped", but he didn't think that the corners of Xie Yikou's mouth curled, and said: "If you want me to say that those scholars are just for saving face, of course, if you gag their mouths with a high-sounding reason, you won't be able to say anything, maybe you will think that you have taken advantage and show off." ”

"What do you ...... say" Wen Zhisang frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and suddenly smiled, "It's really a good idea." At least on the bright side, Wang has no reason not to accept it. ”

This method is actually very simple, Wen Zhesang let the three schools divide and rule, and even divided the Yunting School into a place of enlightenment, which is tantamount to breaking Wang Ze's idea of covering the sky with one hand. But if she finds a reason to let Wang Ze earn all the fame and face, she may be able to block Wang Ze's dissatisfaction.

Looking at her short-lived smile, Xie Yikou's face was a little hot, he thought, maybe he had drunk a lot of wine at night, and at this time, he was drunk.

"It turns out that I have reached a dead end, and your solution is feasible. Tomorrow I will write a poem and advertise it, but I have to hold Wang Ze high and let him have a sweet dream. ”

Wen Zhesang stroked his palms and smiled, and even patted Xie Yikou's shoulder, and said, "Without further ado, I'll go and draw up a notice and post it early tomorrow morning." ”

"My lord......" Xie Yikou looked worried, "It's time for you, you better go and rest, it's not too late to write the notice tomorrow." And tomorrow Song Hanshu is here, you can discuss with him. ”

Wen Zhisang frowned again, and after thinking about it, she compromised, so she raised her smile again, "You're right, only by raising your spirit can you deal with more things." You should rest early, too. ”

"Yes, my lord, go back...... It's time for me to go back, too. ”

Looking at Wen Zhisang's back as she turned to leave, the moonlight sprinkled on her, plated with a layer of floating light. Just for a moment, she walked into the darkness, and there was no moonlight. Finally she entered the room and closed the door, blocking everything outside.

In the courtyard, Xie Yikou stood for a long time. He thought, he planted.

Maybe he has to borrow a few books from Jiang Weixi to see how those characters with opposite identities and destined to not be together come together.

Maybe there is no such thing.

The cicadas in the courtyard kept singing, but Wen Zhesang still heard the footsteps clearly. The voice faded away, and the man drifted away.

Some people, some things, are not ignorant, but can only pretend not to know.

The candle flame in the room flickered suddenly, and Wen Zhisang turned his head to see that there was a little light on the candle. She turned back and continued to draw up the notice, tired but had something to do, as if she didn't have to think of the man who had been standing in her courtyard for a long time.

The door next door suddenly opened, and there was a soft "creaking" sound. Then there was another sound of footsteps, and Dongxue knocked on the door and asked her, "My lord, haven't you rested yet?" ”

Her voice was a little low, perhaps because of the cool breeze. Wen Zhesang said: "This is the rest." ”

The person outside the door was silent for a long time, "You must take care of your body." ”

Then the door next door was gently shut, and Wen Zhisang didn't hear any more sound, but she put down the pen in her hand.
