This time was different from the last time, Hu Shi brought Wei Zhaohua back to the City Lord's Mansion with great fanfare, Wei Yuan sent a message to greet him, but Wei Zhaohua also reported safety. As long as there is nothing to do in southern Xinjiang, there seems to be no difference between Wei Zhaohua living leisurely and being in the city lord's mansion.

In the end, taking into account Wei Zhaohua's identity, the subordinates were all respectful. Wei Zhaohua can do whatever he wants in the City Lord's Mansion, except for going out of the City Lord's Mansion, there seems to be no problem with everything.

"County Lord, this is the lotus seed soup that the city lord just sent, the city lord said, the county lord will like it."

Changlin held a tray in his hand, and a bowl of lotus seed soup was placed in it. Wei Zhaohua smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and gently scooped a spoonful into his mouth.

"It tastes good, but I always feel that something is missing," Wei Zhaohua gently stirred the lotus seed soup, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said, "If you can add some poison or something to it, it seems to be more in line with your city lord's style of doing things." ”

Changlin's face was slightly stunned, "The county lord doesn't want to joke, the city lord is absolutely harmless to the county lord!" ”

"I know, tell you the city lord, this lotus seed soup is delicious."

Wei Zhaohua said with a smile, but he put the lotus seed soup in his hand on the table and never moved again.

Changlin shook his head helplessly, but in the end, he could only resign himself to his fate and go back to his life. As for whether he got a burst of scolding or a criminal law on Hu Shi's side, it is still unknown.

Walking outside, sitting in the pavilion of the lotus pond, Wei Zhaohua's face couldn't help but be a little soft.

The lotus flowers in the garden are blooming one after another, and everything seems to be in full swing. But once you look at it, you will feel very beautiful.

Last time, it was here that Wei Zhaohua was rescued by Shen Cuobai after falling into the water, and the two recognized each other.

Thinking of this, the smile on Wei Zhaohua's face was even worse. It's just that when facing the mighty group of people on the opposite side, Wei Zhaohua's smile was irrepressibly stiff on his face.

"It turns out that you are the county lord of Zhaohua!"

Qiao Jiahui sneered, Rao is side was reminded by the maid, but he still didn't care about Wei Zhaohua's demeanor, but Wei Zhaohua didn't mind.

"Madame, what are you doing so angry? Now that he is raising his eyebrows with the city lord, Qin Se and Ming, it can be regarded as a joy in the world, why bother to hold on to the original thing? ”

Qiao Jiahui took a few steps forward, and Li Xuan stood in front of Wei Zhaohua, for fear that Qiao Jiahui would do something to hurt Wei Zhaohua.

Wei Zhaohua gently stretched out his hand and pushed away Li Xuan in front of him, "Madam won't do anything to the county lord, after all, when the county lord was welcomed into the city lord's mansion by the city lord, he made a big fanfare and the whole city knew about it." If anything happens to the county lord, the southern Xinjiang and the capital will not let go of the city lord's mansion, even the Qiao family, and even the entire Red Snow City. ”

Wei Zhaohua's words deliberately accentuated the three words of the county lord, reminding Qiao Jiahui of his identity all the time. But the more this is the case, the more it will make Qiao Jiahui feel hateful.

At the beginning, she was also the little devil of Red Snow City, although everyone avoided her, but they were all envious of Qiao Jiahui's life. In just a few months, it has changed hands.

"Lord Zhaohua is right, but people are forced to do everything in a hurry. I originally thought that the county lord would be a kind and enthusiastic person praised by everyone, but I didn't expect that rumors are just rumors after all, and there are many people who don't live up to their name! ”

Qiao Jiahui left such a sentence, then bypassed Wei Zhaohua's body and walked into the distance.

The group came and left in a big way, although Li Xuan was dissatisfied with Qiao Jiahui's attitude, but Wei Zhaohua just laughed it off.

He didn't save Qiao Jiahui, who was chased by his family, that day, and Wei Zhaohua never regretted it. If it were to do it again, Wei Zhaohua would still not regret it.

seemed to be delayed by Qiao Jiahui's matter, and after Wei Zhaohua sat in the pavilion for a while, he was no longer interested.

When I returned to the Garden of Eternal Life, I saw that Hu Shi inside had been waiting for a long time. And Hu Shi, who was sitting on the side, stared at the bowl of lotus seed soup that Wei Zhaohua had drunk a sip of.

"When I was in the capital, I heard that the county lord of Zhaohua likes lotus seed soup very much."

"I like to drink lotus seed soup well, but dare to ask how many years has it been when the city lord is in the capital? Presumably at that time, I was not the lord of Zhaohua County? ”

Wei Zhaohua said with a smile and sat down beside Hu Shi.

Hu Shi stretched out his hand and gently touched the bowl of lotus seed soup, and between his hands, the lotus seed soup had fallen to the ground.

"Why do you rejoice in what he gives you, and you don't care what I give you?" Hu Shi asked, and there seemed to be a bit of pleading in his tone. The "he" in his mouth is even more accurate. After all, the matter about the county lord of Zhaohua and the emperor of Eastern Qi has been circulating since three years ago.

"Because I'm not the city lord's beloved," Wei Zhaohua said slowly, and also restrained the smile on his face, "When Min Jingwei was in charge alone, and I had to be controlled by others, you were always by your side. I only felt grateful, but I didn't think anything else. Red snow is a thing of love, but it is not suitable for you and me. ”

"If you are willing to give up Shen Cuobai, everything will fall into place. Why should you not be between me and you? If you want to be a queen, I can do the opposite! ”

"Presumptuous!" Wei Zhaohua reprimanded angrily, "The city lord still has to be sober, don't always talk nonsense. You have a wife and family affairs, and I also have my own responsibilities, how can I be willful? Besides, loyalty to the king is the duty of a courtier, you still have to be cautious in your words and deeds. lest you get burned in the future, and in the end you will reap the consequences. ”

"Am I afraid of any bad consequences?" Hu Shi chuckled, "I'm afraid of it, it's just that you're like this." ”

Wei Zhaohua frowned slightly, "The city lord's heart is not quiet, and he still needs to be calm." Think twice before you act, this is the rule left by the ancients, don't waste it! ”

Hu Shi looked at Wei Zhaohua's determined appearance, and the smile on his face was full of bitterness.

Why are you still not satisfied with everything that I have done so well? What exactly does it take to take that person's place?

Hu Shi didn't know the answer, and staggered outside.

I don't know why, when I came out of the Eternal Life Garden, I seemed to feel more uncomfortable than when I was whipped by the previous city lord. But at that time, Hu Shi was obviously on the line of life and death? But at this time, the astringency is still good.

Seeing Hu Shi leave, Wei Zhaohua's eyes also carried a little melancholy.

looked at Shen Cuobai outside the window, but saw that Shen Cuobai was also looking at Hu Shi's back. Wei Zhaohua walked slowly in the direction of the window, "Hu Shi just went astray for a while, not really intentionally. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's not the other way around, but I can see that he really likes you," Shen Cuobai said, looking back at Wei Zhaohua with a little helplessness on his face, "Thank you." ”

Suddenly, facing Shen Cuobai and saying this, Wei Zhaohua was a little caught off guard.

When he turned his back and was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard Shen Cuobai speak, "If one day he is really a chaotic minister and thief, how do you choose?" ”

Wei Zhaohua's back was a little stiff, and he turned around to look at the person behind him, "It's all up to you." ”

Wei Zhaohua still didn't see Hu Shi for a few days, although there was only a wall between the two courtyards, but on the other side of the wall, there was no movement.

From Changlin's mouth, Wei Zhaohua learned that Hu Shi seemed to be busy with official business recently, resting in the study every day, and he didn't even want to see anyone. There are even times when I get drunk, but no one dares to pay attention to it.

Night had fallen quietly, and Wei Zhaohua had been living in the City Lord's Mansion for a few days. During this time, he has always had some connection with Wei Yuan, and on every letter, there will be words that Wei Yuan is worried about, but Wei Zhaohua is just a good reply.

Wei Zhaohua was about to blow out the lights to sleep, but he didn't want a few shouts outside.

Just by virtue of his voice, Wei Zhaohua already knew who the people outside were. But Wei Zhaohua didn't want to pay attention to it, she could understand Qiao Jiahui's thoughts, but she might not be used to her eldest lady's temper.

Three watches in the middle of the night, how much trouble will it get?

But this time, it was unexpected by Wei Zhaohua. Obviously, she was already lying on the bed to rest, but Qiao Jiahui outside still didn't seem to want to let Wei Zhaohua go. The voice grew louder and louder, and finally he even howled and cried.

A few knocks sounded softly, and a gentle male voice came, "Hu Shi is drunk in the study, and Madame wants you to go over and have a look." ”

"Well, let's go check it out." After a long time, Wei Zhaohua sighed helplessly, got up and put on a coat, and walked outside.

The night is still a little cool, but it doesn't feel cold.

When the gate of the Eternal Life Garden opened, Wei Zhaohua looked at Wei Zhaohua who was kneeling at the door, and his face couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The Qiao Jiahui I saw in the past was all generous and decent, even when she fled at sunset, she had a bit of an image. Compared with the person in front of him, it is even more different.

Xu was kneeling for too long, Qiao Jiahui had dust on her body, and when she saw Wei Zhaohua open the door, she hurriedly pounced, and the smell of dust made Wei Zhaohua can't help but cough twice. The eyes are red and swollen, and the original delicate makeup has been spent so that people can't tell the difference.

"County Lord! Princess! Qiao Jiahui shouted loudly, "This time it's even if I beg the county lord!" The county lord went to see the city lord! No one in the study is allowed but you! The city lord asked for a lot of wine today, and when the housekeeper went to see it, the city lord was playing drunk and practicing swords, and it didn't matter if he hurt others, if he hurt himself, how would it be good! ”
