Chapter 43: Refusal

Waiting for Fang Ruyun and Fang Lihuan to accept the gifts, Li Jingyi ordered a smile and took out two sets of four treasures in the study, "Although these are not internal things, but they are also my father's private collection, I have always liked Wenmo, I know that I want to come to Zhuzhou, my father gave me a few boxes, I heard that the eldest brother in the house Qiyue is already quite talented at a young age, and even the second brother Qiyue has entered the Mongolian school, so he chose two sets for them, and you have to have good pen and ink to do learning, right?" ”

Ouch, even those two boys in the family? How can there be anything bad about this Anguohou thing?

Zhou glanced at Su Shi, whose gaze fell tightly on the ink blocks in the mahogany box, knowing that these things were by no means ordinary, she was so happy that she gave Li Jingyi a blessing neatly, and personally took the plate from Hanxiao's hand, "Since his cousin and aunt rewarded Qi Yue and Qi distance, then the concubine will not shirk, next year Brother Yue will be gone, with the pen and ink of my sister's reward, I will definitely be able to win, and I will come back with a show for my sister-in-law!" ”

"I remember that Qi Yue was still young, and he was about to die?" Li Jingyi was also very surprised, it seems that this Fang family is about to produce a seedling of study.

"Isn't it," mentioned the pride of the family, the Zhou family was also honored, and immediately wanted to boast to Li Jingyi in detail about his eldest nephew, but he heard that someone from outside came to report that Aunt Lin from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was asking to see him outside.

An aunt who frequently asks to see her?

Does this Aunt Lin really not treat herself as an outsider, or does she refuse to let go of this opportunity to win in chaos?

Li Jingyi originally wanted to call her in to listen to what she had to say, but when she saw Zhou's excited face, she smiled and said, "Yushu, you go out and tell Aunt Lin that I will rest and tell her to go back." ”

"When Jing Niang was in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, she had a good relationship with this Aunt Lin?" The Zhou family only heard that there was an aunt in the Dadu Governor's Mansion who gave birth to a second son, but he really hadn't seen who the sacredness was, but unfortunately Li Jingyi refused to see her.

"It's not good to talk about whether it's good or not, Aunt Lin used to be my mother's maid, and then I don't know how, Rong Dadu begged her to go," Li Jingyi smiled faintly and refused to talk more.

Dare to have such a relationship? The Wang family exchanged glances with the Su family, the Rong family has been in Jiangnan for many years, but it is the first time they have heard of an aunt in the mansion who was born in the eldest princess's mansion.

"Since he was an old man from the Eldest Princess's Mansion in the past, maybe he had something to say to the county lord," Wang Shi thought about it for a while, got up and said, "I set up a small banquet in the Leaf Pavilion over there, let's go over first, the county lord has seen Aunt Lin, and then come over." ”

"Since my aunt is holding a banquet, how can I be a villain?" Li Jingyi had already heard the news of going to the banquet in the evening with a smile, and said as the Wang family got up, "Although Aunt Lin is an old person from the Eldest Princess's Mansion, she has been with the Governor of Rong for more than ten years, and I was still young at that time, so I didn't have anything to say to her, and,"

She knew slightly, "If she had something to say earlier, I would still be willing to hear it, now?" ”

Now that I've almost broken my life, no matter how much I say, I won't be able to listen.

That's right, the Wang family has been a housewife for decades, and she has also dealt with the Hu family a lot, and she can spend more than ten years under the eyes of the Hu family, and she also gave birth to Ronghai's only concubine, this Aunt Lin will not be a simple one, she really hasn't heard any rumors?

"Alright, let's go together,"

Because the officials of Zhuzhou temporarily retreated from the reception banquet of Lord Qincha, Fang Weimin set up a banquet in Fangyuan to entertain Yun Chi and Zhou Shiqing, as well as a group of subordinate officials who came with them.

Fang Weimin has also become a fine person, and this opportunity to show his face will naturally not be missed, not only the chef of Qingfeng Mansion has been specially transferred, but even other officials from Zhuzhou Mansion have been invited by him to accompany him, so there are no generals of the two rivers in the Leaf Pavilion, and all the officials who attend the banquet are officials who take care of civil affairs in the government office.

And the Wang family knew that Li Jingyi was in good health, so he did not post to invite Fang Weimin's colleague's wife, and specially held a banquet in the Leaf Pavilion to accompany Li Jingyi alone.

Yun Chi was not disgusted with getting along with the local officials in Zhuzhou, he casually entertained the officials who came up to toast one by one, watching Zhou Shiqing talk about everything with the group of officials, and he chatted with Fang Weimin about the people of Zhuzhou without a word, and today Li Jingyi's words planted a seed in his heart: Who is cultivating the fields under the jurisdiction of Zhuzhou Mansion?

"I came all the way and found that these two rivers are really not comparable to Gansu and Shaanxi, not to mention the beautiful scenery, the land is fertile, and Lord Fang is a capable official at a glance!"

Because Ma Yingtian and Rong Zhi almost forced Ruihe County Lord to death, Fang Weimin was sure that he would not be able to be the head of the Zhuzhou prefect, and wouldn't he, an adjutant, have a chance to be promoted? And it's a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.

"What my lord said is, it's not that the officials are boasting, our Zhuzhou Mansion doesn't dare to say that it won't close its doors at night, but the people of Zhuzhou can still be guaranteed to have no hunger!"

"No hunger among the people?" Yun Chi was obviously attracted by Fang Weimin's words, "Then you parents and officials are indispensable, if Ben Hou finds out that what Lord Fang said is true after careful investigation, he will definitely ask for credit for the officials of Zhuzhou." ”

On the fold? Then he can go up to the sky to listen, Fang Weimin excitedly shook the wine glass in his hand, "Xie, Lord Xie, adults will check it by themselves,"

I'm afraid that the land price of this Pearl Island is not cheap, right? I've seen it all the way, there are mountains and rivers near Zhuzhou, and the people are outstanding, if you buy a place to build a separate courtyard in Zhuangzi, it should be good," Yun Chi casually drank the wine in the cup, and looked at Fang Weimin with a smile.

"The adult has taken a fancy to Zhuzhou, that is the honor of our waiting, what land price is not the price of the land, as long as the adult determines the place, the lower official will personally do it for the adult, and the future supervision will also be borne by the lower official, "I am not afraid that you will take bribes, I am afraid that you will not accept it, Fang Weimin just did not pat his chest."

"Cheng, I'll hand it over to Lord Fang, Zhuangzi doesn't need to be too big, it's just land, I want to carve out dozens of tilts of land here, specifically planting rouge rice, don't hide it from Lord Fang, Niang Niang likes to eat this kind of rice the most."

Dozens of pours? Fang Weimin shuddered, that is, hundreds of acres of land, this is not the north, the entire Jiangnan is every inch of land, Yun Chi will have to pour dozens of dollars when he opens his mouth, and someone has to sell it if he wants to buy it, "Yes, the lower officials must do their best." ”

Yun Chi naturally didn't ignore Fang Weimin's expression, but he only arrived today, and in the future, he will have kung fu to talk to Fang Weimin, and he is not in a hurry to force him, "The governor of Rongda has to be busy with family affairs in the past few days, and I have nothing to do, just go around the place, and comfort and watch the wind without delay,"

"Lord Fang doesn't know, in the case of the county lord of Ruihe, he also sued Master Ma, I have already sent someone to show Master Ma in the internal government of Zhuzhou Mansion, and in the future, Lord Fang will have to worry a lot about local government affairs," Yun Chi threw Fang Weimin a carrot again.

Is this to call yourself in charge of Zhuzhou Mansion? Fang Weimin shook his head excitedly, "Xiaguan must do his best not to disappoint the adults!" ”

Don't disappoint me, Yun Chi muttered silently in his heart, and drained the wine in the cup in one gulp, "Okay, Ben Hou will take a good look." ”

In the carriage outside the gate of Fangyuan, Aunt Lin was gloomy and silent, and she waited carefully for a long time before she said, "Auntie, why don't we go back?" ”

"What are you going to do back?" Tell Rong Hai that he didn't even enter the gate of Fangyuan? Aunt Lin leaned against the wall of the car, "Let's wait and see." ”

After Yushu finished passing Li Jingyi's words, she didn't rush back, she secretly hid behind the corner gate and looked at Aunt Lin's carriage, and saw that the carriage had not left for a long time, and turned back to Qixia Pavilion with a confused face.

Because she knew that Li Jingyi's body had not fully recovered, and the reception banquet in the Leaf Pavilion did not last long, Li Jingyi used some casually, so she used some medicine at will, so she came back with a smile on the pretext that she still had to take medicine at night.

"Lingxin, how are they?" Li Jingyi saw that it was Tao'er who was lifting the curtain, and asked casually.

"The two sisters haven't woken up yet, just now Mr. Zhou next to Mr. Yuanbao came, and gave the two sisters a boost to the pulse, saying that there is no big problem, but the loss has been too ruthless in the past few days, and I am afraid that I will get tomorrow morning if I wake up,"

"Mr. Zhou didn't say how to change the dressing?" Li Jingyi looked at the two loyal maids lying side by side on the Luohan bed, her heart was heavy, she wanted to reach out to touch the white silk on Lingxin's body, but she was afraid of touching them, so her hand stopped in the air, "It's late today, remember to call someone to invite Mr. Zhou to come over tomorrow." ”

"County Lord," because she felt that she was a sinner, Yushu didn't dare to set foot in the Xiji Room now, she stood guard outside the door until Li Jingyi came out, "The slave maid has gone to see Aunt Lin." ”

"The slave told Aunt Lin what the county lord said, but Aunt Lin didn't seem to want to go, the slave waited outside for a while, and Aunt Lin's carriage had been parked outside Fangyuan, and she didn't know what to do?"

Do what? It's just for Rong Hai to show herself, Li Jingyi waved her hand, "I know, ask someone to prepare water, I want to wash." ”

In the Manfen Pavilion of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Rong Hai, who was listening to his son's endorsement, heard that Aunt Lin was back, and he was overjoyed, but when he looked up, he saw Aunt Lin's stupid face, and said in his heart that she had not succeeded, and wanted to reprimand a few words, but he thought that it was the time to use people, so he finally softened his voice, "You are back, how is the county lord?" ”

"The concubine is useless, I didn't see the county lord," Aunt Lin knelt in front of Rong Hai with her skirt up, "Please also ask the lord to punish her,"

Rong Qi saw that his mother was kneeling, and hurriedly retreated and knelt with Aunt Lin.

"If you don't see it, you won't see it, and it's not that you won't see it in the future, what kind of punishment will you be punished? Hurry up, you haven't eaten yet, come on, ask the chef to set the dinner for your aunt," Rong Hai personally got up and helped Aunt Lin up, "Sit, what did you say over there?" ”

"It was the fish book next to the county lord who said to the concubine, saying that the county lord is sick now, and he has taken medicine to rest, and no one is there, but,"

Aunt Lin's eyes flashed, and when she saw Rong Hai listening attentively to what she said, she continued, "The concubine stopped outside Fangyuan for a while, and heard that the master said that Lord Fang was banqueting Lord Qincha in Fangyuan, and the officials of the government office all went. ”
