Gu Yanzhang has not yet returned home, and Ji Qingling has already received a letter from Sun Bian's wife Liu.

The letter was even sent by Sun Yunniang herself.

After all, Sun Yunniang is the mind of the youngest daughter's family, not as much as adults think, so when she came to the door, she hurriedly said to Ji Qingling: "Sister Ji, it's not good, Gu Guanren is going to dig the mud!" ”

Ji Qingling was puzzled when he heard the second monk, and said curiously: "What kind of dredging? ”

Only then did Sun Yunniang take out the letter given by her sister-in-law and give it to Ji Qingling to read, but she didn't stop, and said: "I heard that Fan Dashen went crazy, wanted to cut off the Yellow River, and led Luoshui into the Bianqu, forcing Gu Guanren to dig a canal for him, my eldest brother can't stop it!" ”

She only listened to a few words from Sun, and she didn't understand anything, but her heart was overflowing.

Ji Qingling hurriedly opened the letter, only to read two lines, but a little girl came outside and replied: "Madam, someone from the Hu Mansion in Zhouqiao came and sent some food." ”

This is what Hu Quanfu is talking about.

When I met someone, the other party didn't say anything, just sent something, asked a few words and left. It's not a rare thing, it's just some fresh fruits with good quality and good taste.

Ji Qingling took the things, returned the salute, and waited until he turned around and finished reading Liu's letter, and then he knew the meaning of the Hu family sending people over.

However, it shows that the two families will come and go often, and they will not forget each other.

Sun Yunniang sat aside, but she was a little anxious, and only said: "Sister Ji, I heard my sister-in-law say that this matter is very difficult to do, if something goes wrong, in the future, not only will you have to punish copper, show grinding and surveying, maybe you will be scolded." ”

Ji Qingling knew that she was kind-hearted, so she said: "It's just that I was ordered to explore a few places, not necessarily to dig the mud, when it's okay, thank you for coming to deliver the letter, there was rain when you came?" ”

Sun Yunniang heard Ji Qingling say that there was nothing to do, and when she saw her calm and relaxed, she also put her mind at ease, and was suddenly led astray, and said: "It only rained a little in the morning today, and it stopped when I went out, although it was windy, but I hid in the carriage and was not blown much." ”

Ji Qingling sat and chatted with her for a while, the two sat and ate a few snacks, and then went to the back to see the fish, and saw that it was a little late, so they sent people away.

Before she sat down for a while, some people gradually came outside, most of them were the female relatives of colleagues who had regular contacts with Gu Yanzhang on weekdays, and they all reported to her.

Ji Qingling explained to Qiuyue Haosheng that he was going back, and he was not in a hurry.

Even though everyone is still willing to come and go, the attitude is the same as usual, and even more enthusiastic than before, although it is a bad thing, it is not so bad.

Sure enough, when it was half dark, Gu Yanzhang came back from outside. Ji Qingling saw that he looked the same as usual, and there was no different color, so he didn't immediately urge to ask, and waited until he entered the door to change his clothes and sit down to drink tea, and then said: "Several families came to deliver a letter today, saying that the fifth brother was ordered by Fan Dashen to guide Luo Tongbian in the court?" ”

Gu Yanzhang was not surprised, and only said, "It's spreading so fast outside?" ”

He briefly explained today's events to Ji Qingling.

Ji Qingling didn't think it was a bad thing when he heard it, nor did he think it was a good thing, so he said: "I just went to explore once, if it can work, it will be good, if it doesn't work, it will be explained directly-I'm afraid that it won't work, Fan Dahui will embarrass you, it will work, and Huang Xianggong will be verbose again." ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded and said, "That's right, it's not troublesome to do things, it's troublesome to be restrained." Besides, I am really not very familiar with this water conservancy matter, if it is said that the water workers, there are their own competent water supervisors, if they can't do it, it will be difficult to find a better one outside. There is only this Bianhe and Luoshui matter, although it has been done once in the past few months, it is still impossible to do it. ”

While the two were talking, two small servants came in outside, one on the left and one on the right, carrying a small box at the same time, and they didn't stop passing by here, and moved straight towards the study.

Ji Qingling saw it in his eyes, stood up and stood on tiptoe to look at it, and asked, "Fifth brother, what is that?" ”

Gu Yanzhang looked at her curious look, and couldn't help but smile: "Although it's a good thing, I don't want you to learn it, just put your mind at ease." ”

In fact, he really didn't mean anything when he said it, but he really blamed him for doing too many bad things on weekdays, listening to Ji Qingling's ears, he couldn't help but think about it a lot, and glanced at him.

Gu Yanzhang reacted at this time, and when he thought about it, he laughed even more, and said, "That's really not what I meant." ”

It's a pity in secret: I have a heart, but I can't do it tonight.

But he didn't dare to say this at this time, and he could say it, if he was provoked, he would still suffer by himself this night.

Ji Qingling is not like him, he pretends to be all the mess in his head, and he hears it as a good thing, so he thinks about it for a while, and then asks, "But the files in the water prison?" ”

Gu Yanzhang smiled: "It's really easy to guess, let you guess as soon as you guess." ”

He also said: "Time is very tight, I am not familiar with everything at the moment, so I must first figure out the various regulations, rules, and powers before I can do things." ”

Ji Qingling suddenly rubbed his fists and feet, and said: "I'm not very familiar with water conservancy, and it must be very difficult to watch it with the fifth brother today, and I don't know if I can understand it." ”

After eating for a while, the two went to the study together and dismantled the box, Gu Yanzhang first chose the authority, rules, regulations and other things, and took the roster to look at, Ji Qingling took the file, and did not need a chair, just took a futon and put it on the ground and sat on it to read it slowly.

She lasted for half an hour, but finally she couldn't stand it, seeing Gu Yanzhang flipping through the book on the side, she didn't bother him, she only copied two pages with a pen, and went out lightly.

Qiu Lu next door is on duty with Qiu Yue, sitting in the room with one person to read the accounts, and one person to sort out the names of female relatives received in the house recently.

Ji Qingling easily caught two suitable people, and hurriedly said: "Let's put away the table, and then call the pine joints." ”

For a while, Qiu Lu hurriedly recruited a little girl to call someone.

Ji Qingling gave them the transcribed thing and asked, "Can you understand it?" ”

This is a summary of the water affairs in Yongqiu County a few years ago, Ji Qingling vaguely remembered that he had seen it in the Di newspaper, it was not a secret, but he was not very interested in it at the time, and he just swept it away.

The two little girls got together and studied for a long time, Qiu Lu gave up first and said, "Madam, I really don't understand." ”

Not long after, Qiu Yue also surrendered, and said: "I can recognize every word, and I can read it together, but I really can't understand what to say." ”

Seeing that neither of them could understand it, Ji Qingling suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it's not just that I'm stupid, but I also have someone to accompany me.
