Wei Zhao didn't expect Wei Ji to use this method, and raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you know, tell me the truth." ”

Xiao Yunzi said: "Lang Jun Mingjian, Sister Yuan lives in a simple place, and even the yard is very out, but her maid often contacts the outer courtyard, and can often bring some things back, the concubine's maid was very envious of the concubine, and Sister Yuan's maid has been loose in her hands in recent days, and often buys some expensive things. The concubine felt strange, and paid attention to a few points, and the place where Sister Yuan asked her maid to contact was a shop in the east of the city, selling some groceries from the north. ”

After Xiao Yunzi finished speaking, he stood aside with his hands down.

Wei Zhao turned to the maidservant beside her.

The maid didn't wait to ask, knelt on the ground and said, "What Mrs. Xiao said is true, the maid once chatted with someone and learned the location of the shop." ”

When Wei Zhao heard this, there was no joy or anger on his face, and he said to Ling Yuan: "What else do you have to say?"

Ling Yuan's lips trembled, her face turned pale, her gaze swept over everyone in the main room in a daze, and finally fell on Xiao Yunzi, gritting her teeth and saying, "You have been waiting for this day for a long time, right, you want me to die." ”

Xiao Yunzi glanced at her, her face was surprisingly calm, "I just told Lang Jun and Xiao Lang Jun what I knew, why do I want you to die." ”

Ling Yuan's teeth gritted loudly, and his voice was sharp, "You just hate me, you went to Luofu Mountain that day, you should have go, but it was me, you have been staring at me since that time, for this time today, Xiao Yunzi, you are really a female sergeant, you can hold your breath." ”

Xiao Yunzi didn't answer this, but took two steps back and said, "All kinds of causes and effects are planted by yourself, and you know what you do." ”

Ling Yuan had something to say.

Wei Zhao said in annoyance: "Drag her down, pull out her tongue and sell it." ”

Ling Yuan screamed, pounced forward, and shouted: "Lang Jun, I know a secret, I can exchange it for a rich ......"

Wei Ji just sorted out this matter, and after the evidence collected and Xiao Yunzi came, she simply threw her hand back to Wei Zhao to deal with. Hearing Ling Yuan shouting like this at this time, she immediately sat up straight, "Second brother, she came to me a few days ago and said that there is a secret about you about the Wei family. ”

Wei Zhao's eyes were like deep pools, and he snorted coldly: "A mere maid can know anything, but his words are just exaggerating and fighting for a glimmer of life." ”

Ling Yuan was shocked, knowing that it would be too late if he didn't say anything at this time, "It's about Lang Jun's ...... you"

Jiang Yu suddenly strangled her neck, tied the silk handkerchief just now to her mouth, and then cut a bundle of people back, handed it to the guards and dragged her out.

Wei Ji glanced at Jiang Zhao suspiciously, and then turned to Wei Zhao, "Second brother"

Even if she wants to deal with it, she is not in a hurry to say a word, she saw the urgency of Jiang Yu's action just now, as if she was afraid that Ling Yuan would say one more word.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 58: Calculation

Jiang Yu tied up Ling Yuan and dragged him to the corner of the martial arts training ground in the mansion, and the guards stepped forward to help deal with it, but Jiang Yu refused, and found an excuse to send the two away.

When Ling Yuan reached a desperate situation, she gave birth to a force, and when she was thrown to the ground, she kicked hard, tripping Jiang Zhen, and the handkerchief covering her mouth was also rubbed away by her, and she shouted vaguely: "Lang Jun, he is not ......"

Jiang Yu got up from the ground, looked angry, covered her mouth again, and whispered in her ear, ", what rare thing you should do, Lang Jun already knew."

Ling Yuan's eyes widened.

I saw a mockery and ruthlessness on Jiang Yu's face, "I want to take the opportunity to get pregnant and give birth to a child, and then sell it to tell Lang Jun that he is the son of the prince of Linhe County, if you can return to the Huan family, you can be regarded as half a master, isn't it?"

Ling Yuan's face was gray, his eyes were dull, and all the plans in his heart were revealed, he thought that the secret of strange goods could live, It turned out that Wei Zhao already knew that the strength of her whole body seemed to be drained, and her body softened, Raised her eyes and saw Jiang Yu's big hand breaking her chin, In an instant, there was a sharp pain in her mouth, She fell backwards, Before fainting in severe pain, she heard Jiang Yu's snort, "She looks very beautiful, why did she give birth to a pig brain, and she acted too quickly, and she didn't know how to read, I'm afraid I can't keep my hand." ”

Ling Yuan was frightened and unconscious.

In the main room, Wei Ji felt a little reckless after shouting Wei Zhao, and Xiao Yunzi's maid was waiting on the side.

Wei Zhao didn't care, and asked the servants to take the two maidservants out and hand them over to Huang Zhiyin for disposal.

As for Xiao Yunzi, Wei Zhao glanced at her, and waved her hand to go back with a faint face.

Xiao Yunzi left slowly, and when she walked to the door, she couldn't help but glance back at Wei Zhao, her eyes were gentle and affectionate.

Wei Zhao didn't notice it, and said to Wei Ji: "If you come, stay and eat together." ”

At this time, it was dark and it was already evening, Wei Ji hesitated for a moment, nodded and agreed.

The servants came into the house, lit the candles of the celadon candlesticks, and brought the food. Because it is a summer meal, it is not too hot, and there are two pots of cold dishes. After eating, Wei Ji wiped her hands and rinsed her mouth, remembered Sima Pi's invitation, and said to Wei Zhao.

He was wiping his hands with a handkerchief, frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart: Sima Pi stayed in Yuzhang and did not leave, and he had a deep friendship with the local scholars, so he also intended to control Jiangzhou.

Wei Ji saw him pondering and was about to say goodbye, Wei Zhao said, "Come with me to the study." ”

Wei Ji followed him to the study, where there were several volumes of books and silks piled up on the bookcase, as well as paper papers, which were a little messy, which showed that he was busy with official business. Wei Zhao saw her looking at her and said, "I have already found two staff, and soon someone will take care of this pile of chores, and I can also have some leisure." ”

Wei Ji smiled, knowing that his current official position was pompous, and he would inevitably need more helpers, she thought for a moment and said, "The staff has access to document secrets, ability is secondary, and loyalty is the most important. The second brother must carefully select other candidates. ”

Wei Zhao couldn't help but be surprised, took a closer look at her and said, "Who taught you these?"

It would not be surprising if it was only known about the knowledge in books, but these practices were either explored by oneself or pointed out by someone, and with Wei Jiao's background and age, of course, the latter is more likely.

Wei Ji said: "Master Zhao is very knowledgeable, in addition to those in the book, he will also teach some of the ways of being an official." ”

Wei Zhao half-squinted and said, "It's a good teacher." ”

Wei Jiao's head, in fact, what she just said was what she had seen in the Xie family in her previous life, but now she is still young, so she has to find a place to shirk. Zhao Lin did teach some official practices, but most of them were told to the children of the poor family, and the children of the scholar clan were taught by the elders of the family in this regard, and they did not need outsiders to put their beaks.

Wei Zhao suddenly asked again: "The idea of judging Lingyuan just now was also taught by Dr. Zhao."

Wei Ji hurriedly shook her head, "Of course not, I thought of it myself." ”

Wei Zhao felt even more strange, the backyards of the two Wei mansions in Jiangxia were very simple, completely different from those high-ranking lords, but seeing Wei Ji hit the main point as soon as he came just now, it made him a little curious, "Yudu also knows about the backyard

Wei Ji said: "One reason, one reason, this backyard is actually no different from other things in the world." The second brother only said that there were social exchanges in the officialdom, and he was cheating. If there are many people in the backyard, it is a country of flowers, but in fact, it is not much worse. The world is bustling, and the benefits come and go, all of which are the same truth. What Ling Yuan did was also a good word, but I just hit it crookedly and guessed a few points. ”

Wei Zhao sneered when he heard this, "What kind of country of flowers, it's just some idle and boring women who have nothing to do." ”

Wei Ji saw his contemptuous expression, obviously disapproving of many women in the backyard, sighed in his heart, and said: "Men compete for power and profit, if someone designs to frame the enemy, others mention it, and they have to say that they are resourceful, and the woman has used means to let people know, but it is a snake and scorpion heart, and it is to be scolded." The big difference is just because men are in charge, they are in charge of the world, and their talents are displayed, while women are trapped in a house and a courtyard, and wisdom and intelligence can only be used in front of them. ”

Wei Zhao looked at her in surprise, "Listening to your tone, you really know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." ”

Wei Ji just felt it, and didn't expect Wei Zhao to agree, just looking at how decisively he dealt with Ling Yuan, and didn't miss the old feelings at all, he knew that this second brother was a real romantic seed, and these women in the backyard were used for fun in his spare time, and he didn't really care about it.

"Second brother," Wei Ji pondered for a while, but still persuaded, "Uncle often said that it is not easy to govern the family, the body, and the mind. If you have a stable home, you will be stable, and it can be your help, otherwise, if you don't keep it, you will cause trouble. ”

Wei Zhao waved his hand and said: "You are going to become an old pedant, and when you marry a wife and concubine in the future, you will try this set of family management." ”

Wei Ji knew that he couldn't listen, so she sighed and said, "Then I'll go back first." ”

"Wait," Wei Zhao said, "I have something to ask you." ”

Wei Ji looked over, met his dark eyes, his heart tightened, and immediately lowered his gaze slightly.

"What are you doing standing so far away, come closer." When the two were talking just now, Wei Zhao felt that something was wrong, it turned out that Wei Zhao was three steps away, not close or far, as if facing the teacher's school homework.

Wei Ji approached a little, "Second brother has something to ask?"

Wei Zhao asked, "What happened when you came yesterday, let's talk about it in detail." ”

Wei Ji's heart jumped twice, a little flustered, but her face was calm and did not show any abnormality, "The second brother has lost his mind and has infinite strength, so I called three people to stop you, and I found an opportunity to bleed you, so I let you sleep." ”

Wei Zhao touched his chin and felt that there was something missing, but seeing that Wei Ji looked serious and well-behaved, he didn't seem to be able to lie, so he let go of this problem, but he became more and more jealous of Wushisan in his heart.

"In the future, it is strictly forbidden to scatter five stones at home, and if anyone violates it, it will be killed directly." Wei Zhao said coldly.

Wei Ji agreed, and reminded: "Second brother, Wushisan is not a folk recipe, only some scholars have it, don't you think it's strange that Ling Yuan can get it I heard that she grew up in the Huan family, and there is no one she knows in Yuzhang, how can she collude with the shop in the east of the city, there must be a problem." ”

Wei Zhao said lightly, "This shop, if there is no accident, it should be the Huan family." ”

"Huan Family" Wei Ji frowned, "The Duke of Linhe County has the grace of supporting the second brother, why would his family's shop hand over the five stones to Ling Yuan?"

Wei Zhao already knew who the real mastermind behind it was, but he didn't plan to tell Wei Ji that Princess Nankang was very big, and he was afraid of scaring Wei Ji. The second is that this involves the secret of his life experience, if you want to make it clear, he has no blood relationship with the Wei family, and the relationship between the two brothers is afraid that it will be broken immediately.

Wei Zhao didn't want to be like this in his heart.

"That's what you just said about governing the family, the Huan family is so big, maybe someone is dissatisfied with me and wants to harm me." Wei Zhao said casually, "I'll ask someone to get the shop tomorrow, and I'll know what the hell is." ”

Wei Ji's eyelids jumped when she heard this, she never thought in advance that the person behind Ling Yuan was from the Huan family. As long as she thought of her previous life, she was worried, "Second brother, you must be careful, Wushi is addictive, and if you use it a few more times, you will be inseparable, first it will destroy people's minds, and within a few years, your body will completely collapse." If someone really calculates to harm you with five stones, this heart is very poisonous. ”

Wei Zhao's face sank, and he quickly stretched out again, reaching out to pat Wei Zhao's shoulder, "She was in the dark and I was in the light, but now I know that it is not so easy for her to calculate." ”

Wei Jiao's shoulders shrank and she took half a step aside.

Wei Zhao was stunned.

Wei Ji's actions just now were all out of instinct, and before her brain turned around, she quickly glanced out and said, "Since the second brother knows it in his heart, I can rest assured, it's getting late, I'll go back first, and I haven't practiced my words today." ”

Wei Zhao stared at her deeply and said, "Go ahead." ”

Wei Ji left the study, in front of the courtyard was blown by the cool night breeze of summer, and let out a long breath, just now Wei Zhao still felt a lot of pressure, hoping that after a few days, he would completely forget about last night's events, and he would be able to be the same as before. She thought of what Wei Zhao said about the Huan family, and she had a headache, although Wei Zhao didn't say it explicitly just now, but it seemed that the source of the Huan family's malice was very clear, and Wei Zhao was a little relieved.

The most feared arrow in the world is that it will shoot from nowhere, and if you know it, you will be much better guarded against.

Within two days, Wei Ji heard that a shop in the east of the city had caught fire and burned down, which became a major event in Yuzhang in those days.

More than ten days passed, the summer was scorching, the heat was in full swing, Wei Ji was a little in good spirits, and she didn't go to Zhao's Mansion for a few days, Luo Huan came to see her after hearing the news.

Wei Ji had no choice but to entertain them in the flower hall.

Luo Huan looked at her, the sun was scorching outside, the carved wooden windows around her were all open, and the inside was also bright, and she felt that Wei Ji looked extremely white and clear at this time.

"Yudu, do you know that a new history of thorns is here."

The author has something to say:

Chapter 59: Friends

Wei Ji looked over and said curiously, "Who is it?"

Everyone else was also curious, and the scholars also had ranks, and not everyone had such well-informed information. Luo Huan shook his head and shook his head, with a smug expression, "General Yingyang, Xiyang is too guarded by Huan Chong, and now he is moving to Jiangzhou to assassinate the history."

Wei Ji blinked, she was no stranger to this name, Huan Chong, the younger brother of Huan Wen, the prince of Linhe County, heard that Mao was talented and had the ability to be a general, and he was the mainstay of the Huan family.

Several people here had a lot of discussions, all of them were local scholars, although they were not very old, they all had some understanding of the changes in the situation.

Immediately, some people lamented that the Huan family is now strong, and it has overpowered the two Xie Wang families, as for the Yu family, if Jiangzhou is lost, it will be even more weak, and it is the end of the four surnames.

There are also humanitarians: "There are many people who want to be on the left side of the river, there are also four surnames of Lu Gu, Zhu and Zhang, who do not lose to the north, but now they are pressed down in the court, it can be seen that this group of northern soldiers are arrogant, which is really annoying." ”

Beiling is the nickname given by the southern scholars to the northern scholars, 伧同碜, which means the poor ghost from the north.

Someone bumped him on the waist, and the man turned around and saw Deng Jia winking at him, and gestured to Wei Ji again.

Luo Huan said: "Yudu, he has always been open-mouthed, don't pay attention to him." ”
