Chapter 175: Boiled frogs in warm water, he can afford to wait
An Yueli propped her hands on the desk, her apricot eyes flickering. The soft autumn sun gently sprinkled on the white and tender face, and the degree of moisturization made you want to try it.
Su Huaixiao's heartbeat was chaotic for two beats, "Other female relatives wish that their husbands could help their fathers, brothers and relatives." It's good for you, but let this king want to step down from the official position of An Guogong. ”
An Yueli stuck out her tongue, "Who made me not have a reliable brother." ”
After she said this, Su Huaixiao's heart suddenly moved.
"Aren't there any relatives in your mother's clan?"
"You mean cousin? He is focused on mountains and rivers, and even if he stays in Beijing, he is only focused on drawing maps.
I heard him say that he would leave Beijing again when the errand assigned by the emperor was completed. Then he will go and visit the terrain of the neighboring countries and act as a scout for us. ”
Su Huaixiao is full of confidence, "In a huge family, there are always people with great ambitions." As long as they want to, the king doesn't mind helping out. ”
"But my mother's people are not in the capital."
"It's not difficult to be transferred. It's really not good, and you can still pass the scientific examination to enter the office. ”
Seeing that the other party said that he was an official so lightly, An Yueli tilted her head.
"Why does the prince want to help me?"
Su Huaixiao's throat rolled slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "Shouldn't it?" ”
An Yueli muttered faintly for a moment, saying that she shouldn't be able to do it, she just wasn't used to taking advantage of others.
Seeing that she couldn't figure it out for a while, Su Huaixiao comforted her.
"There's no rush in this matter, we'll talk about it when you have the exact candidate."
Su Huaixiao pushed the delicate refreshments on the table to An Yueli, and was not in a hurry to reveal his heart.
Boiled frogs in warm water, he could afford to wait.
The next day, Jiang Chen brought all the information about the repair of the granary to the Xiaowang Mansion.
Su Huaixiao directly stayed in the house for the reason of inconvenience in his legs and feet.
The huge desk was full of pieces and drawings, and An Yueli was startled as soon as she entered the door.
"So much?"
Jiang Chen was in charge of sorting out these materials, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
"I've seen the princess!"
An Yueli waved her hand casually, "These are all official documents that the prince needs to pass through?" That's a lot of that. ”
Jiang Chen's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he compromised under Su Huaixiao's strong gaze.
"Yes, the repair of the granary is a major event, and the prince strives for perfection and finds out the information of the previous repairs for comparison."
Su Huaixiao took over the conversation, "I'm going to work hard for you today." ”
An Yueli was speechless, when she agreed to help yesterday, she thought it was just a formality, but she didn't expect to be entrusted with a heavy task and become the main force.
But when it comes to serious things, she still starts working hard.
Under the instruction of Su Huaixiao, Jiang Chen transferred the records of the Ministry of Industry repairing the granary in the past ten years. An Yueli compared these materials and made a detailed summary from many aspects such as drawings to materials and even labor.
Since she wants to do her best, she looked at these redundant materials and decided to let them see the advanced modern techniques.
Su Huaixiao didn't expect An Yueli to be so patient, she came to the study early in the morning for two or three days in a row, and didn't leave until the sunset.
"Moisten your throat."
A cup of autumn pear tea was placed on the table, but An Yueli just hummed softly, and had no intention of raising her head. She held a ruler in one hand and a charcoal in the other, and the whole person was almost lying on the table.
Seeing this, Su Huaixiao simply reached out and put it on An Yueli's cheek, gently but firmly holding up the other party's chin.
An Yueli was taken aback, "What to do?" ”
"Drink tea."
Shu Huaixiao withdrew his hand indifferently, and his expression without ups and downs seemed to be taking this brief intimate contact seriously.
An Yueli's apricot eyes rolled slightly, and she silently touched her cheek, and as a result, she wiped her face with soot.
When the man approached, there was a faint aroma of bamboo leaves, which made her mind clear again because of the complicated information.
Looking at An Yueli's cat-like appearance, Su Huaixiao couldn't help but laugh, and personally took out a handkerchief to wipe it for her.
"How's it going?"
"Well, it's pretty much there, but some of the details aren't clear."
"Let's see."
Su Huaixiao simply sat beside her, and the two of them each held a teacup, enveloping them with the fragrance of tea.
"I found that in the past, most of the repaired granaries were made of wood with good fire performance, such as acacia, ash and ash, and the total amount was almost the same.
However, this time there was 50% more material used for the repair, and there was also a mixture of pine wood. ”
Su Huaixiao drank tea for a moment, "Pine? ”
"Pine wood is greasy and flammable, so how can it be used to repair the granary?"
"Even you know that pine wood is flammable, and it is impossible for the officials of the Ministry of Industry not to know about it. But did the labeling go wrong? ”
An Yueli held up a piece of rice paper, which summarized the information of the five repairs in the past ten years in a table.
Shu Huaixiao was first amazed by this clear statistical method, but he didn't have time to study it carefully, and he was attracted by the content.
He took the form made by An Yueli, checked the materials several times, and really found that there were fifty percent more pine wood.
"Jiang Chen."
"What does the prince command?"
"Find out who is in charge of applying for materials from the treasury in the Ministry of Industry this time?"
Jiang Chen acted quickly, and found the list in three or two clicks. Just when he glanced at it, his expression became strange.
An Yueli urged, "Say it quickly, who is it?" ”
Jiang Chen pursed his lips in embarrassment, "Back to the princess, it's your father, Duke An Guo." ”
“!!!”
An Yueli suddenly stood up from the chair, "What's the matter?" ”
Su Huaixiao also looked serious, and motioned for Jiang Chen to hand over the roster to him.
An Yueli also approached, and the faces of the two were almost in one place. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt suffocated when he saw An Guogong's name.
"Hiss——!"
An Yueli raised her hand and rubbed the corners of her forehead, "When did the prince pick up his official uniform?" I haven't learned a lesson about donating grain last time, but this time I dared to put my hand in the treasury.
I think he continues to be an official, and sooner or later we will all have to be affected by him! ”
Su Huaixiao twisted his fingers, thinking quickly in his heart.
"With what you know about An Guogong, how dare he is?"
"The lust is fierce, there is a thief's heart but no thief's guts!" After saying this, An Yueli herself was stunned, "What do you mean......"
Su Huaixiao didn't answer, but just glanced at Jiang Chen.
"Find out where that batch of pine wood is, and then send someone to keep an eye on An Guogong to see who he has been dealing with recently."
"Yes!"
Jiang Chen went to do it immediately, and the two of them were left in the study again.
The tea becomes cold, and the sweet smell disappears. Even the warm sunlight is obscured by the clouds.
An Yueli never dreamed that she came to help sort out the information, but found evidence of her father's corruption.
"I have to go back, whether my father knows about it or not, the things are transferred from the treasury by his hands. Instead of waiting for Jiang Chen to investigate, it is better to ask directly.
If he had done such a good thing, I would not have covered it up! ”
Su Huaixiao did not stop it, but took the initiative to say.
"I'll go back with you."
