Chapter 22 The Xuan River bursts

Qing'an 2008 summer.

To the west of Youzhou, the embankment of the Xuan River is broken, and the fierce river water is more than one zhang high.

Countless houses were flooded by the river, hundreds of people were devastated, and many people who escaped death were left homeless.

Emperor Qing'an, who was far away in Chang'an City, heard about this, and was so angry that he almost lifted the desk, this is not the flood season, otherwise how could it be so powerful, for no reason, how could the Xuanhe River burst the embankment.

So, this is something that someone did on purpose.

Emperor Qing'an issued an order to open the city gate of Youzhou to let the displaced refugees enter Youzhou, and the Ministry of Water of the Ministry of Industry went to the boundary of Youzhou to repair the embankment of the Xuanhe River.

He also ordered Youzhou Jiedu to make Wen Shuqiu find out who did the matter, and asked the Criminal Department to send a lot of materials to Youzhou.

This time, Emperor Qing'an was very tired, and he also kept a calm face when he went to court, and he was scared to those courtiers, for fear of provoking him.

Wen Shijiao heard that Wen Shuqiu hadn't returned to the house for a long time, and even Zhu Tingshan was rarely in the house.

The situation in Youzhou is unstable, and the refugees are mixed in with gangsters, and several spies from other countries have been caught.

Wen Shuqiu wanted to find out who destroyed the embankment of the Xuan River, to calm the emotions of the refugees, and to send people to supervise the movements of the refugees.

Finally stabilized the situation temporarily, Wen Shuqiu remembered that he hadn't returned to the house for a long time, so he took Zhu Tingshan back to the Wen Mansion together.

Ching Rong Building.

Wen Shuqiu sat opposite Zhuting Mountain.

"Say, what is this man's idea? What do you want to do by destroying the embankment of the Xuan River? ”

Wen Shuqiu asked in a calm voice.

Zhu Tingshan's fingers curled and tapped lightly on the tabletop, "Youzhou is your territory, and the Xuanhe River burst its embankment, so it must be coming to you." ”

Seeing Wen Shuqiu signaling himself to continue, Zhu Tingshan said again: "You might as well think about it, your political enemy. ”

Wen Shuqiu frowned, he was far away in Youzhou, he hadn't returned to the Eastern Capital for a long time, Youzhou was his chassis again, and he knew exactly how many catties and taels of people under his command were, who would it be?

"That's it." Wen Shuqiu raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "This matter is not in a hurry, let's do it and see." ”

After thinking about it, he said: "When you first entered the mansion, what did Shi Jiao come to you for?" ”

Zhu Tingshan lowered his eyes, and when he asked, he raised his eyes and looked at him with a clear gaze and said, "The third lady sent some peach blossom cakes, saying that I am your guest and should be taken care of." ”

"I heard you went out to run horses at the same time?"

Wen Shuqiu looked at him defensively, not for anything else, he was afraid that his daughter would be abducted by him.

Zhu Tingshan smiled: "The third lady wanted to make friends with Zhu, and the son of the Ji family sent a post, and the third lady brought Zhu with her." ”

"Shi Jiao is still young, I'm afraid that she will be unladylike." Wen Shuqiu's words are extraordinary.

Zhu Tingshan nodded: "You should care more about her." ”

Wen Shuqiu saw that his words were appropriate, so he changed the topic: "I heard that the right minister of the Eastern Capital is a young man? ”

"I've heard a little." Zhu Tingshan replied.

"Do you know that man?" Wen Shuqiu asked again.

Zhu Tingshan pondered for a moment and said: "That person's name is Zhu Yanqing, he should be twenty-one in age, he has not yet started a family, and he is the Zhu family in the eastern capital." ”

"The Zhu family?" Wen Shuqiu is a little eary.

Zhu Tingshan smiled slightly: "The Zhu family was the Chengbo Houfu of the year, and when it came to Zhu Min, that is, Zhu Yanqing's father's generation, because Zhu Min had no official position, and he was idle all day long, he caused a lot of trouble, and the Son of Heaven was angry, so he took this title." ”

Wen Shuqiu looked thoughtful, thought for a moment, and sighed, "Now that the Xuanhe River has burst its embankment, if I don't handle it properly, Your Majesty will definitely be annoyed with me, and maybe I will be demoted to my official position, I'm okay, but Shi Jiao is still young, what should she do." ”

Zhu Tingshan comforted him gently: "Don't worry, I will do my best to assist you." ”

"You are sincere, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were not a thing in the pool, how could you be willing to be a little doorman?" Wen Shuqiu looked at him with a little appreciation in his eyes.

"Tingshan has always been used to idle clouds and wild cranes, but he doesn't have any lofty ambitions." Zhu Tingshan lowered his eyes, covering the emotions in his eyes.

Wen Shuqiu saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and changed his mind again.

Clearing his throat, Wen Shuqiu blushed and asked, "Tingshan, what do you think of Shi Jiao?" ”

Zhu Tingshan was stunned, just now, he was still hinting that he didn't want to think about Wen Shijiao, why did he ask about this now?

Or his stunned look was too obvious, and Wen Shuqiu's face turned a little red.

Although he thought so in his heart, Zhu Tingshan still looked at him seriously and said: "The third lady was born with a beautiful country and a non-formal personality, but Tingshan admires the third miss very much. ”

"Don't have any scruples, just say whatever you want."

Wen Shuqiu waved his hand, thinking that Zhu Tingshan was not easy to speak.

Zhu Tingshan was stunned, "What Tingshan said is true, the third miss is not as unbearable as rumored by the outside world, but a woman who loves and hates clearly." ”

Wen Shuqiu was silent, he didn't expect Zhu Tingshan to have such an evaluation.

"Tingshan, if I have an accident in the future, are you willing to take care of Shi Jiao for me?"

Zhu Tingshan frowned: "Why do you say this?" ”

"You don't care, you say, will you or not?"

Wen Shuqiu can't, now Youzhou City avoids Wen Shijiao like a snake and scorpion, who will let her into his house?

Ji Linyuan was originally very good, but Su Qingle...

Thinking of this, Wen Shuqiu let out another long sigh in his heart.

There was silence in the room.

After a long time, the man's warm voice sounded: "Tingshan... I can't ask for it. ”

Jing Shu Garden.

Wen Shijiao was holding a book in her hand and was looking at it seriously.

"Miss! Miss! Bang Qing rushed in, looking excited.

Wen Shijiao closed the book, reached out and rubbed her eyebrows: "Bang Qing, when will your temperament be able to converge and converge?" Don't be in a hurry, don't you say it calmly? ”

Bang Qing was very aggrieved.

"What's the matter? You name it. The girl opened the book again and began to read it.

Bang Qing swallowed his saliva and said, "The Ji family is here." ”

Wen Shijiao didn't raise her head and said, "Come on." ”

After turning the page, he said, "What did anyone do?" ”

"Propose." Bang Qing looked at her and said, "To you." ”

There was silence in the room, and a pin could be heard.

The girl was holding the book, looking petrified, and it took a while to react, and she raised her eyes to look at Bang Qing and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Mrs. Su came to the door with Ji Gongzi, saying that she wanted to discuss your relationship with Ji Gongzi."

Bang Qing heard a click, and the book in the girl's hand fell to the ground.

Qiubai picked up the book and put it on the table.

Wen Shijiao walked back and forth in the room, "Is Ji Linyuan crazy, what is he thinking?" ”

Fengxing Building.

"Master, the Ji family has come to discuss marriage." A man in black knelt in front of Zhu Tingshan.

Zhu Tingshan held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, twisted it gently, listened to the words of the man in black, and sneered: "Ji Linyuan is a person who values affection, but his Ji family's strength is about to run out, and I am afraid that there is not much time." ”

"This family business will definitely not be successful, watch carefully, remember what they said, and return to me at that time."

"Yes."
