Wang Manzi is a person who abides by etiquette extraordinarily, even if the origin is now a mystery, Rao Shihuan has to admit that the other party's every move has indeed far exceeded a porter's requirements for etiquette.

It is not an incomprehensible thing that the housekeeper will take a look at this not-so-good-looking teenager in the vast sea of people.

Wang Manzi sent Qiu Ying to the gate of the courtyard, and only ordered the sedan chair to send people into the courtyard, but he stood outside the courtyard, in the same position as when Fang Cai replied. This is a habit that can only be cultivated subtly over many years, and it is definitely not something that can be exercised overnight.

"Miss Shi." Qiu Ying got down from the sedan chair, holding the skirt in one hand, walking elegantly, and walking up the stairs, "I'm bothering the eldest lady." ”

The pace is fast.

Outside the door, Wang Manzi saw that the masters had already spoken, and bowed silently, commanding the sedan chair to leave, and no one spoke during the whole process, but he was polite for several weeks.

Shi Huan glanced at the backs of these people leaving, and then greeted with a smile, "Miss Qiu is polite, I should say sorry, I made you wait for a long time." Come on in. It's raining heavily. ”

Qiu Ying shook her head, "It's my problem, I came in a hurry, and I didn't hand over the post." ”

Shi Huan smiled, not caring much, "In private, we don't have to be polite." Maybe in the future, it can be regarded as a relative, so polite is really unfamiliar. The tea has been prepared, drink a cup of tea to warm up, this rain is really heavy. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the teacup.

Hold it in the palm of your hand at just the right temperature.

Such thoughtful details. Qiu Ying's eyes flashed slightly, and she felt more and more that coming over this time was the most correct decision. She took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and pursed the corners of her mouth, her fingertips subconsciously clasped the teacup, with some force, the nails were white, and after a while, she said, "That...... Then I won't be polite, in fact, this matter is really some, some urgent, because I disregarded the etiquette so much, and I didn't even hand over the prayer post. ”

Shi Huan's expression was ordinary and nodded, "You say." ”

"There is a flood in Jiangnan, the eldest lady knows, right? …… Look at what I said, the Shi family must already know. She took another sip from her teacup, perhaps nervous and incoherent.

Shi Huan remained silent, and only nodded, "Well, the front and back feet know." This is ...... Is there something wrong with it? ”

Qiu Ying took another sip of tea before saying, "This morning, Your Majesty issued a holy decree, saying that my father made a mistake in the matter of the eldest prince, oh no, the former eldest prince made a mistake, and almost caused a big disaster, and he was supposed to be severely punished." But His Majesty allowed his father to make meritorious service for his father because he had served the country for many years and had no merit and hard work...... Let my father get involved in the south of the Yangtze River to control the flood ......"

The summer in the south of the Yangtze River is rainy, and it is flooded every year, and it is still flooded every year. Natural disasters are only one of the reasons, and manpower cannot do anything, but officials can rub oil from them and fill their own pockets, and the imperial court allocates disaster relief money and two real ones for flood control, often less than 12 out of 10.

How can such a failed project survive a natural disaster?

But it has to be said that this errand is a fat difference for the vast majority of officials...... How fat you are in the end depends on how bold and greedy you are.

Shi Huan looked at Qiu Ying, and for a while he didn't understand what the other party's intention was to come to him for this matter, no matter what level it was, the Shi family had no reason to meddle in this matter.

What's more, they are actually not that familiar, and most of them are just the affection of being able to sit and drink a cup of tea on this rainy day and say a polite word - there is really no affection. So, she just looked up from behind the teacup, the mist covered the coolness under her eyes, and her voice was elegant, "Although this matter is hard, if it is completed, it will be regarded as a merit." ”

"Miss, that's not the case." Seeing the other party's indifferent appearance, Qiu Ying was anxious at the moment, and the speed of her speech was fast, "Miss, it's really not what you imagined." Although His Majesty instructed his father to go to Jiangnan to deal with the floods, this matter is the sole responsibility of the Ministry of Works, and everyone knows that the Ministry of Workers is a person of His Royal Highness King Xian......" "And now, ......" Qiu Ying hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "And now, everyone knows that my Qiu family has entered the camp of King Rui." ”

"Huh?" Shi Huan raised his eyebrows, the teacup moved down slightly, revealing some moist eyes after the tea, the bottom of the eyes was ethereal, in this dark rainy day, it was as dark as splashing ink, "When did Miss Ben know, what camp my cousin still has, when did he form a party, see you next time, I have to ask clearly." ”

Forming a party...... Private.

Qiu Ying's heart was chuckled, and she was a little panicked. Where would she have thought that this eldest lady would be so sharp? It's just a private word, and it's so sharp that the slightest possible handle will not be left in the hands of others.

She hurriedly clarified, "No, eldest lady, I, I don't mean that......" At that time, she said that she didn't have to be polite, but at this moment, it seems that she is obviously very "polite".

"I ...... I was just worried, worried that my father would be framed. As you know, there are too many dark operations to deal with the floods, but if His Royal Highness King Van Rui wants to move his father, it will be easy......"

Shi Huan lightly refused, "Since it is His Majesty's will, I am a weak woman, what can I do?" ”

"The eldest lady doesn't have to influence His Majesty's will, how could the little woman be so careless to make such a difficult request." Fang is still "me", and she is already a "little woman" at the moment.

Seeing Shi Huan's eyes, Qiu Ying seized the opportunity and hurriedly said, "I heard that the head of the Lu family has returned to Jiangnan, I don't know if the head of the Lu family can and can take my father for a ride, this goes to Jiangnan, separated by mountains and rivers, the road is far away, if you can, you can ...... it."

The last words were not said in the end.

It's just because the girl's eyes are cold to the bone.

If it is like the rain in early summer that wets the eyes, then at this moment, it is the cold winter and the scorching heat that freezes for thousands of miles...... The expression on his face was very light, and there was almost no change, and when he looked up at those eyes, it made people feel like falling into an ice cellar.

The teacup in Shi Huan's hand was gently put down, and there was no sound at all, she lowered her head, only revealing a well-lined jaw, she looked at the tea in the teacup, and the expression on her face was all scattered, "At that time, my aunt said that you have a lot of thoughts and eyes, but I feel that a girl with a little heart is not a good thing, at least, she can protect herself." ”

Qiu Ying didn't know the queen's attitude, but she was stunned at the moment.

Listening to Shi Huan said again, "But now that this thought has moved to me, I always feel ...... Not very pleasant. ”
