Humanity is a nuisance, verse 101
The servant said: "I didn't say anything, but I was in a hurry to assassinate the Shifu." ”
Huan Qi knew that Huan Chong was old and stable, and if it was an ordinary matter, he would not be in a hurry to find it. He beckoned He Han to step forward and said, "You arranged for someone to keep an eye on Xiao Langjun's courtyard, and remember to report anything unusual to me." ”
He Hanzhi didn't know why, but still nodded in response.
Huan Qi knew that he was serious, nodded and strode towards the door.
Wei Ji was sick for two days, and after sweating, the fever subsided, but Hui Niang was still not at ease, and she had to lie down for one more day. On the third day, Wei Ji gradually recovered her spirits, and Hui Niang complained to her privately, "This Jingwu is guarding outside every day, and he has to keep an eye on everyone who enters and exits, like a thief, and the guards have been patrolling too diligently in the past two days, I don't know if something happened outside." ”
Wei Ji didn't feel at ease at first, she was dizzy and confused two days ago, and vaguely remembered that Huan Qi had come. When she stood in front of the window in thick clothes to breathe, she accidentally found that the guards had been staying in front of the courtyard gate for an extremely long time. She was puzzled, and observed for a long time, and found that this situation was not accidental, and the guards patrolled back and forth around the courtyard, and looked at the door, intentionally or unintentionally.
Wei Ji didn't say a word, her heart was secretly shocked, thinking back to the situation when Huan Qi came to visit the patient, he blamed Hui Niang for not inviting a doctor, and she excused Hui Niang. Could it be that this is how Huan Qi became suspicious. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and Wei Ji broke out in a cold sweat. Huan Qi's eyes are like torches, and his mind is meticulous, does he really let him find any clues
Hui Niang came in with the freshly boiled medicine, and Wei Ji pulled her to the window to talk while drinking the medicine, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse that Jing Wu was slowly approaching outside the house.
Wei Ji whispered to Hui Niang to hide the things that would reveal her identity.
Hui Niang knew that she was cautious, and said softly: "Xiao Langjun has no such things around him, they are all packed and hidden in me, and no one knows." Even if someone sees it, they say it's my use. ”
Wei Ji thought about it repeatedly, and felt that there were indeed no flaws around him, so his heart fell back into practice. Glancing out the window, Jing Wu was helping the servants clean the courtyard, and they were cleaning it repeatedly not far from the window.
Wei Ji didn't go to the palace for a few days off, and after she got well, she went to Zhao's mansion to listen to lectures, and then went to the palace.
Sima Pi called her over, and saw that she was dressed extraordinarily thickly, with a white fur collar around her face, lining her as if she was younger.
At this time, Fu Bao came in with a bowl of hot soup with his own hands, handed it to Wei Ji, and said: "This is made alone for Xiao Langjun, boiled for two hours, put several ingredients, the most important is to replenish qi and raise yang, nourish blood and nourish blood, Xiao Langjun taste it quickly." ”
Wei Ji was flattered, thanked again and again, and drank the soup, she remembered that Sima Pi hadn't spoken just now, so she hurriedly put down the bowl and looked over.
Sima Pi said: "It's almost the end of the year, what are your plans to go back to Jiangxia?"
Wei Ji shook her head and said, "I have already discussed with my elders before I left home, and I won't go back this year." ”
Jiangzhou and Jiangxia are thousands of miles apart, it takes a long time to come and go, and Wei Ji is naturally afraid of cold, when she left Jiangxia after Yaji, both the Yang family and Wei Shen and his wife asked her not to run back and forth, and to study in Jiangzhou with peace of mind.
Sima Pi bowed slightly, and saw that her skin revealed a thin layer of ruddy after drinking the hot soup, and her eyes were invisible. He pushed the few pieces of paper in front of him forward, motioning for Wei Ji to look at them.
Wei Ji picked it up and saw that it was a report on the Northern Expedition, a few days ago in the battle of Chen County, Yin Hao got Fu Jian's marching route, ambushed the enemy in advance, and repelled the Qin army. Wei Ji glanced up at Sima Pi. Yin Hao's sources are all obtained from the cooperation between Sima Pi and Murong Lin. Then ride fast to the front line.
"Thanks to His Highness's strategy, this great victory was achieved." Wei Ji put down the war report.
Sima Pi snorted and said: "The great victory knows the strength and route in advance, but it only repels Fu Jian, so planned, but only kills one thousand enemies and loses eight hundred, how can it be called victory."
Wei Ji heard that he was unwilling. Zhen Jing tried his best to plan, but Yin Hao could only exchange for such a record, failed to give Fu Jian a head-on blow, and did not even hurt Qin Jun's roots, and waited for Fu Jian to make a slight adjustment, but he was afraid that Yin Hao would have no chance of winning. Wei Ji knows the results, and he doesn't think it's unusual.
But Sima Pi was extremely disappointed in Yin Hao.
"It's winter, the two armies are truce, we have to wait for the spring to fight again, General Yin can hold on to the grain in Shouchun, there are still a few months, maybe there are still variables, Your Highness just wait patiently."
Sima Pi lifted his eyelids and looked at her deeply. He had discussed with Li Gong just now, and several of them were staff members who were born as scholars, and they were not familiar with military affairs, so they only said that Yin Hao had raised his morale in this battle, and he was extremely confident in the Spring War. Sima Pi didn't expect that the one who was closer to his own thoughts was actually the little Langjun in front of him.
He pondered for a moment, and then changed his words and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, I heard that Yinxuan is very close to you."
Wei Ji showed a wry smile and said, "It's Lord Weng's appreciation." ”
The corners of Sima Pi's lips curled, "She has always liked Mei Langjun, but this time, you are really smaller." ”
Hearing him make fun of him, Wei Ji was also difficult to refute, and said innocently: "Lord Weng and Huan Jialang are talking about marriage, how dare I get involved." ”
Sima Pi smiled and said, "Are you afraid of Yinxuan, or your brother?"
Wei Jixin said that she was afraid of both. Sima Pi looked at her with an embarrassed look, but he found it extremely interesting. After a few more conversations, he let her go.
The palace people came in to clean up and took away the empty bowl where Wei Ji drank the soup. Fu Bao put away the battle reports, and glanced at Sima Pi with another one in front of him. He said softly: "Your Highness has decided to return to Jiankang at the beginning of spring, why don't you ask Xiao Langjun?"
Sima Pi raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What is there to ask, didn't I ask last time." ”
Others don't know why Wei Ji was expelled from the palace overnight last time, but Fu Bao knows a little more, he looked at Sima Pi's face, and said: "At this time and that time, Xiao Langjun didn't even have a grade that day, but now it is a fixed grade, even if he is not old, His Royal Highness will take people with him to teach for a few days, and he will be able to use it soon." ”
After a long time, Sima Pi said: "Don't worry. ”
Fu Bao knew that it was almost settled when he heard this, he hung his head, smiled, and stood aside.
Sima Pi glanced at him, "What benefits has this Wei family Xiaolangjun given you, you are very special to him." ”
Fu Bao said in his heart: It's not because His Royal Highness likes to see her, so he treats her well. He smiled slightly: "Like Wei Xiaolangjun, who can not like it"

Chapter 144: Chapter 143: Clues
After a few more days, Wei Ji saw that Huan Qi went out early and returned late, and had no time to take care of the family, and the heart that was originally carried gradually relaxed. Every day, he still reads and learns words, walks around the palace and Zhao's mansion, and has a reunion with Luo Huan, Deng Jia and others, Luo Huan will get married next year and marry a girl from the Lu family of Wu County. The Lu family is a century-old family, better than the Luo family. The Luo family welcomed the bride up and down to Zhang Luo, and purchased household utensils, gold, silver and satin, and Yuzhang was expensive for a while, and it was passed on as a good story.
There was only half a year left in the marriage, Luo Huan was both happy and worried, and said to Wei Ji in private: "I have seen the portrait of the Lu girl, which is beautiful and elegant, and it is very popular with me." ”
Wei Ji smiled when she heard this.
Luo Huan said again: "After I get married, my family will arrange for me to join the office, and I won't be able to have fun with you in the future." ”
Wei Ji knew that he had set seven grades in Yaji this autumn, and he was already an adult, enough to become an official. The children of the talented scholar clan can be promoted again after three years, but if the qualifications are mediocre, they can be trained in officialdom and then promoted by political performance. Jiang You's children have always stuck to the local area, and if Luo Huan is a county commander in the township, he doesn't have to worry about his political achievements.
Deng Jia heard it on the side, and said with a smile: "Marrying a wife as an official is a proud thing, and the rich days are still ahead." ”
Everyone came to say hello to Luo Huan, you and I drank happily, and talked about their respective futures, this group of Xiaolangjun, the oldest of them is seventeen or eighteen years old, and they have reached the age of obeying the family's arrangement. Juvenile temperament, most of them look forward to the future, intend to display their ambitions, and also have an introverted personality, feeling sad for their brothers and friends.
When Deng Jia was drunk, he looked at Wei Ji and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull her, "Yudu, you will stay in Yuzhang, and we will be an official here in the future, so we can meet often......"
Zhong Xiaolangjun smiled: "Could it be that he is still thinking about marrying his sister to Yudu"
Wei Ji couldn't cry or laugh, broke away from her hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense and ruin the reputation of other girls." ”
When she returned home at night, Wei Ji saw a post on several cases, picked it up and took a look, it turned out to be a post by the lord of Xuan Weng, and invited everyone to go to the other courtyard to enjoy the plums. Just after the small cold, it was the middle of winter, there was a light snow yesterday, the grass and trees withered, only the plum blossoms bloomed, it was a good season to enjoy the flowers.
Wei Ji has shirked a lot of going out to socialize recently, and the monthly letter is a few days away, according to what she thinks, she really doesn't want to go out, but the invitation of the owner can't be easily refused.
She was thinking about something, Hui Niang came into the house with a bowl of soup in small steps, and Wei Ji said, "I only drank half a glass of wine today." ”
Hui Niang put the bowl in front of Wei Ji, "It's not hangover soup, Xiao Langjun forgot the day, drink it while it's hot, these days are the most critical, don't be cold." ”
Wei Ji picked up the bowl, drank it slowly, and quickly drank the decoction, and Hui Niang fed her a mouthful of preserved fruit, and then freshened up and lay down. Hui Niang left with the empty bowl and returned to the house where she lived. She is different from the maidservant, she has a single room, and there is a small yard behind the house, and she secretly cooks medicinal soup for Wei Ji every month, and she does it herself, without pretending to be the hands of others. She carried the lamp and cleaned up the medicine stove. I was in a hurry to send the hot decoction just now, but the residue in the jar has not been disposed of.
She drained the soup, poured out the dregs, wrapped it in a cloth, looked left and right and saw that there was no one, dug a pit from the bottom of the low tree in the corner of the yard, buried it on the spot, and after doing this, she gently clapped her hands and carried the lamp back to the room.
Jing Wu has paid special attention to Wei Cong's side these days, but he hasn't found anything, and he feels strange in his heart, no matter how he looks at it, Huan Qi loves Wei Cong's younger brother very much, and whatever good things are sent first. On weekdays, the food level is fine and the main courtyard is average. Huan Qi was busy outside, and when he came home, he asked Xiao Langjun first, and I heard that the concubine Huang was grounded because he drove Xiao Langjun away. Jing Wu really didn't understand why Huan Qi still ordered someone to secretly look at Xiao Langjun.
He saw that the lights were out in Xiao Langjun's room, and he was about to go back to rest, but at this time, he saw Hui Niang tidying up the medicine stove and putting away the medicine residue. There was nothing special about this, but there was a sudden surprise in his heart, and the ghost sent a god to follow behind Hui Niang and see her move to bury the slag.
He was full of suspicions, and felt that this was too unusual, so he kept bending down and hiding outside the servant's courtyard, until it was dark, and the three watches and drums sounded, and almost all of them turned off the lights and fell asleep.
On the day of appreciating the plums, Wei Ji packed up, wearing a Bixia brocade cloak, and just walked out of the house, he saw Huan Qi standing in the courtyard, he was dressed in praise today, his hair was tied high with a jade crown, his body was tall and straight, less sharp, and a little more handsome.
Wei Ji thought to herself that this trip to enjoy the plum blossoms was also set up for him and Lord Yinxuan
With the same idea as her, there is also Xie Daocan, who got up early in the morning to freshen up and dress, and the maidservant changed a few jewelry and clothes for her, but she always felt that it was not satisfactory everywhere. Liu Yuan saw that she was displeased, and felt strange, and persuaded: "Girls usually love to dress up elegantly, why do you like bright colors today?"
Xie Dao said: "Lord Weng's appearance, if I dress plain again, I will be compared to the soil." ”
Liu Yuan said: "The girl is elegant and quiet, why compare with her, the girl has never been like this in the past." ”
Xie Daocang couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart, and for a while he felt that today was just an ordinary flower-viewing banquet, so he just did it as usual. She is good at poetry and noble birth, and she has always had a long face on such occasions. For a while, there were many distracting thoughts, and he faintly felt that he wanted to say goodbye to that General Huan, and he couldn't dress up at will.
She couldn't say these thoughts, and she didn't miss a word for Liu Yuan, who took care of herself, and finally chose a pink satin eight-torn skirt. Liu Yuan said: "It's cold, and this body is too thin." ”
Xie Daocang felt that this dress showed his figure, and refused to change it again, and said: "There are so many people waiting, wearing cloaks, and they won't catch a cold." ”
After spending time dressing up, I got on an ox cart and went to the suburban courtyard.
Invited by the lord of Weng, most of the scholars in the city came, the carriages and horses gathered, Xie Daocang heard the outside call to open the door and go out, the cold wind was cold, and it hurt on the face, she was shivering with cold, pulled the cloak, and when she got out of the car, she looked around and saw that the carriage and horses of the Huan family also stopped.
Huan Qi came out of the car, dressed as a scholar son, which made Xie Daocan's eyes light up, she hesitated for a moment to say hello, at this time Huan Qi had turned around and reached out to help people.
A slender white hand stretched out from the compartment and was tightly held by Huan Qi.
I don't know why, Xie Dao Cang's heart hung high, his eyes refused to leave for a while, and when he saw that it was Wei Xiaolangjun, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The author has something to say:
There is also a chapter of thanks to the little angel who voted for me during 2023-03-18 00:29:57~2023-03-19 14:05:33~
Chapter 145: Chapter 144: Plum Blossom Appreciation (I)
Wei Ji got out of the car, and was blown by the cold wind on her head, and her body was half cold. Huan Qi's hands were wide and warm, like a hand stove. She said secretly: At the beginning, no one even doubted the identity of his Wei family, and he had such a strong physique, which was really not similar to the Wei family at all.
As soon as she landed, she withdrew her hand and tucked it in her cloak, and pulled her hood tighter so that only half of her snow-white chin was exposed.
Huan Qi stared at her twice, but at this time, he was called by the clear and tactful "General Huan" next to him.
Xie Dao smiled and bowed his knees slightly at him, "Last time, thanks to the general's help."
Huan Qi was taken aback for a while, he didn't remember what it was, he glanced at her twice, and then remembered that he helped the handle in the yard that night, and said, "It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about." ”
Xie Dao smiled and bowed, lifted his skirt and walked up the steps, and walked towards the door. As soon as she turned around, the smile on her face faded a little, she was extremely smart, just now when she saw Huan Qi's face, she knew that he didn't have much impression of herself. Xie Daocan't help but feel sour in his heart. Xindao: I heard that he is used to being a romantic person, only beauty can be seen, no wonder King Changshan married the Huan family, and asked Sima Yinxuan to come.
All the way in, many Shi girls greeted her cordially, and Xie Dao Cang responded one by one, but her heart was unspeakably uncomfortable.
Wei Ji followed Huan Qi all the way, and as soon as she walked into the door, she greeted all parties warmly.
Huan Qi has been busy for a few days, and he originally wanted to have a good talk with Wei Ji while enjoying the flowers, but he is now in a high position, and he is a responsive character in Yuzhang, and there is constant excitement around him. Wei Ji is just a little Langjun, completely different from his social circle, just a blink of an eye, she ran away to find an acquaintance Xiao Langjun to chat.
Everyone slowly entered the garden, only to see a huge garden, planting plum trees alone, and the garden landscaping to integrate together, and opening up a plum path and stream, the dark fragrance floats, fresh and beautiful. There are desks on the open ground, maidservants standing, holding hot wine, as well as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, guqin and other things, all of which are prepared for the scholars of Yaxing to express Yaxing.
After a while, Sima Yinxuan came to the courtyard with a few maids, said a few polite words to everyone, and clapped his hands and called a few beautiful maids and young servants who were handsome to come in.
Seeing this, the young scholars were eager to try.
A few Xiaolangjun asked Wei Ji if she wanted to show her face. Wei Ji is self-aware, her strength is not in the poetry and writing, and the intention is only mediocre, and she shook her head with a smile and refused. Those little Langjun shouted loudly, but in fact, no one really started to write, just trying to join in the fun.
Suddenly, a beautiful maid over there held a paper note and recited a poem in an authentic Luoyang tune: "...... The snow color is sparse and the shadow is faintly thought, the wind is dark and fragrant, Xiao Xiao comes, and he doesn't know the face of the old man, and asks when the east wind will return. ”
After the beautiful maid finished reciting, she screamed endlessly. When I asked where it came from, it turned out to be written by the talented girl Xie Daocan. It didn't take long for everyone to enter the garden to enjoy the plum blossoms, and she had written such good poems, and her quick thinking was extraordinary.
Xie Daocang made a good poem, heard the praise of everyone, accepted it calmly, and was generous, she looked around, saw Huan Qi surrounded by several people, and heard the poem just now, but he didn't care much, and he looked up when others cheered.
She added another layer of disappointment, and looked at Sima Yinxuan under the plum tree, she stood there, willow eyebrows and cherry lips, smiling skillfully, and pressed the plum blossom color a little.
Wei Ji listened to Xiao Langjun discussing the poems, and they all said that Xie Dao Cang is so high, and the Xie family is worthy of its reputation. She savored those few lines of poetry, and her heart moved, whether it was a faint thought, or when the east wind was, on the bright side, it was said that the plum blossoms were in full bloom and spring was coming. But with the choice of words, there is a sense of sadness and resentment, but there is a sense of affection.
