Zhao Ting was happy to see it, and handed the account book in his hand to Yun Moxi on the side.

"Your method really worked, and you received so much silver grain in a short period of time." I am bound to participate in the Northern Expedition in the future, and I am of course happy to see that the military planning has improved.

took the account book and looked at it, Yun Moxi was also very satisfied, "Then what does Your Highness plan to do next?" ”

"Only these palace nobles in the capital are left, but they are also the most difficult bones to gnaw."

"It's better to start with someone."

"Defend the country and keep your word."

I nodded and didn't object, I thought so in my heart.

This Wei Guogong is the head of the founding fathers and the sworn brother of Zhao Kuangyin many years ago.

In that year, they fought the world together and supported each other, and after the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, they were rewarded by high-ranking officials and named the Duke of Weiguo.

Because of the high and powerful positions of several major heroes, Zhao Kuangyin was afraid that their high merits would overshadow the masters, not to mention the taboo of the emperor with scattered powers.

He found a way to feast a few heroes, and the wine on the banquet released the military power, so that they could return the authority, the military power was rewarded, the huge assets were appeased, and the family was appeased, and the pension was relieved and no longer participated in political affairs.

However, although these people have no actual rights, their influence in the power of the court and the common people is still very important, especially this Wei Guogong.

The more land he had, the most tax arrears were also the most, and even Zhao Kuangyin was very polite to him, who dared to ask him for silver.

After discussion, the two set off together the next day.

Although this Weiguo Gongshi Shouxin has a huge mansion in the capital, he likes to stay in the beautiful countryside villa recently, and he is very leisurely.

Yun Moxi sat in the carriage, and Yun Yueqi drove in front.

Zhao Ting rode a horse and followed, without bringing too many followers.

Since arriving in the capital, he has hardly left the house, occasionally entering the palace or going to the household department.

The huge Yun family has so many industries, and she has to decide everything, and she doesn't have much time to be idle, so she hasn't been out of the city for a long time.

At this moment, looking at the scenery outside the window, I took a deep breath and only felt relaxed, like a bird that had been locked up for a long time.

In the past, although I didn't often go out in Yangzhou, I felt that the sky was wide and the land was not restricted, but in the capital, there was an invisible sense of oppression.

Maybe it's because of the many rules under the feet of the Son of Heaven, or maybe it's because there are too many people living in the capital, it's not as refreshing and empty as the green bamboo forest in the suburbs.

It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed.

She poked her head out and looked at the scenery outside, and finally had a smile on her face, and Zhao Ting was also very happy when she looked at it.

After walking for more than two hours, it was already hot at noon.

He Chong, who led the way in front, returned, "Your Highness, there is a tea shop in front, why don't you rest for a while before leaving!" ”

"How long will it take to get to the villa?"

"Another hour!"

After looking at Yun Moxi, I was afraid that she would be tired, so I ordered: "Then rest and leave!" ”

"Yes!" He Chong turned around and sent the guards forward to make arrangements first.

Sure enough, not long after walking, there was a tea shop on the side of the road, with a big word "tea" written on the curtain.

The tea shop is not big, just a large shed with a lid and some simple tables and chairs.

An old couple set up a stove and were busy making tea.

He Chong went first to clean up and wipe the tables and chairs.

Zhao Ting dismounted and stepped forward to help Yun Moxi walk the carriage.

"Tired, aren't you?" Asked softly.

"I'm not tired in the car, it's just a little hot." She looked up at the sun, it was the time when it was shining, and even the carriage was a little stuffy, so it was not bad to take a breath and drink tea.

"Go in for a cup of tea and rest for a while before leaving." He took her by the hand and walked towards the tea shed.

Walking into the tea shed, Yun Moxi looked around, only two women were sitting at a table in the corner.

A woman dressed in red and wearing a hood, the thin veil on the brim of the hat hanging down to hide her face, but she felt that she was looking at herself.

Another woman was dressed as an ordinary maid, looking very old, and peeked at Zhao Ting from time to time.

Zhao Ting didn't pay much attention, just glanced at her casually and helped her sit at the table He Chong had cleaned up.

He Chong and Yun Yueqi sat at a table on the edge of the tea shed with a few guards.

The old woman came with a teapot.

"Tea, two, please!" The old woman said, "These are all tea leaves picked by my old man on the mountain, and they are very fragrant." ”

"Thank you!" Zhao Ting said.

After pouring the tea, the old woman looked up at the two of them, and couldn't help but praise her lips: "Oh, your lady is so beautiful!" ”

Because I saw the two of them holding hands and walking in together, and sitting together intimately, they seemed to be a good match, so I thought they were a couple.

Yun Moxi's face was hot when she called it.

Looking at her shy appearance, Zhao Ting laughed.

The old woman thought that she was happy to praise his lady, so she said playfully: "The official is also very handsome, and the two of them are as good-looking as immortals, what a match made in heaven!" ”

"We're not ......," Yun Moxi hurriedly tried to defend himself.

"This mother-in-law really has a vision." Zhao Ting interrupted her loudly.

He took her hand, approached her and said, "We are a match made in heaven!" ”

His breath seemed to be able to blow on his face, and his affectionate eyes looked at her gently, straight to the bottom of her heart.

Yun Moxi's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly lowered his head in a panic, trying to withdraw his hand, but he held it tightly and refused to let go.

The old woman saw that they were so sweet, smiled and happily put down the teapot and left.

I don't forget to describe it when I walk around my wife.

Zhao Ting asked softly, "Shy?" ”

raised his head and glared at him, and said angrily: "Your Highness, this is a woman of a good family!" ”

"What's the flirtation?" He said seriously, "It's just that I can't help myself!" ”

"Your Highness is a person with a marriage contract, and such a behavior will damage your reputation. The end is also down, for fear of affecting His Highness. "It's a little helpless and bitter when I think of this.

"After this errand is done, I will ask the imperial brother to take back the holy decree, you don't have to worry!" But he was calm and relaxed, and he didn't care.

"Who's worried? That's His Highness's own business, what does it have to do with Moxi! ”

"Of course it has something to do with you! Who told you to take my heart away, and from then on I will never tolerate anyone else! Although it was a joke, the look in his eyes was focused and serious.

I was most afraid of seeing him like this, so I hurriedly took a sip of tea and looked outside, "Not bad!" This tea is indeed very sweet! ”

Zhao Ting smiled, there was patience and time.

The two chatted for a while, looked at the time and saw that the hour was almost up, sent Yun Moxi back to the carriage, and the group continued on their way.

The woman in red in the corner stood up and walked out of the tea shed, raised her hand and gently lifted the veil, revealing a beautiful face.

Looking at the tall back on the horse, the beautiful eyes were full of attachment and admiration.

It faded away until the figure was no longer visible, and it stood for a long time.

The personal maid on the side didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to find something to say: "His Royal Highness King Wei is really as tall and heroic as rumored, and he is a dragon and a phoenix among people!" ”

"Looks good...... But those rumors are true. Thinking of what he had just said, the woman in red looked at the distance and shed two lines of tears.
