When she heard what she said, her eyes widened when she was about to take a hot bath: "Why do you need to change the mattress on the bed?" ”

"The master has to change his mattress after staying overnight?" The magpie spat out wild words, "The palace grandmother has explained." ”

Wang Shu: "......"

"I'm going to pick up a new quilt, I can change it soon, Xiaojun will go to the bath first." Saying that, the magpie is really going to change. She has always been sloppy in her work, and her new mattress has long been brought over and placed on the stool. The magpie lifted the gauze tent and saw that it was clean, "Didn't Xiaojun have a round room with the master?" The slave and maid just listened to such a big movement outside, and thought that Xiaojun was ...... you."

Wang Shu's cheeks burst red, and she hurriedly stopped the person, "Shut up, you don't have to change the mattress, you go to do your own thing." ”

Kicking people out, Wang Shu went to the bathroom embarrassed and embarrassed.

This night, Wang Shu was forced to have another night of colored dreams. From falling asleep until early in the morning.

The next day, Wang Shu woke up numbly from the dream, her face blue and red.

She felt that she couldn't go on like this, and she had to think clearly about the relationship between herself and Xiao Yanxing, how to calculate it.

It's definitely not okay to pretend to be confused, although that master has no experience, he is not easy to fool. She pretended to be stupid and stunned once or twice and didn't get in the way, but after many times, she didn't pass the test so easily. You're always going to be cornered. As time goes by, the problem becomes more and more difficult to solve. She can't keep waiting for the result, she always needs to have a proper solution in her heart.

First of all, Xiao Yanxing will never let the Wang family break away from him. More than 20,000 people of the Han family army are hidden in the Wang family's industry, and the Wang family is fundamentally tied to him. And as the head of the Wang family, Xiao Yanxing will not give up on her.

Secondly, the Wang family seems to be independent, but in fact, it is separated from Xiao Yanxing's power, and it is very easy to be swallowed by whales. The heirs of the Wang family are thin, and there is only one Wang Xuanzhi besides her. Wang Xuanzhi was still in a state of ignorance, and he couldn't stand up at all. Although she has the heart to manage things, she doesn't have enough people and forces to help her, so she can't control the scene at all, and she also directs people not to move. The Wang family didn't seem to get any benefits, but in fact, Wang Shu borrowed Xiao Yanxing's power to do things.

In other words, she can't do without Xiao Yanxing. Even if she didn't admit it, she yelled at Xiao Yanxing to rob. But the fact is that she relies on Xiao Yanxing to give her talents who can deal with problems and do efficient things for her.

But that's not the point. The point is whether she and Xiao Yanxing should have a deeper relationship.

With an in-depth relationship, she will regret it in the future, can Xiao Yanxing let her go?

If he is willing to let go, she may not be willing to go further with him. There are not a few rich women who ask for children in later generations, and her Wang family is big enough, so it is also very worthwhile to borrow a seed from him. Wang Shu has never thought about spending her life with anyone in her life, and Xiao Yanxing's appearance is always many times higher than that of the little white face of unknown origin outside.

Wang Shu sighed faintly, she thought so, it was hard to say whether Xiao Yanxing would agree or not.

If he agrees, 'ask for a son with a lot of money, go to the father and keep the son' or something, it may not be a good thing.

Chapter 63

Over the years, it wasn't until February that the weather gradually warmed up.

The snow melted, and there was some wet mud everywhere.

The problems in Jiangnan are not so easy to solve, and every one of the problems involved is extremely difficult to solve. The first thing to bear the brunt of is that in just one month, he broke through Xiao Chenghuan's layers of obstacles and handed the news of the serious flooding in the south of the Yangtze River to the capital. Secondly, how to convince the old emperor that his good prince had done something wrong as soon as he ascended the throne, and was willing to punish this matter.

You must know that if you want the imperial court to issue punishment and accountability for this disaster relief and flood control failure, a fair monarch is necessary. The old emperor himself was not a just man, and it was even more difficult for him to punish his good prince.

Xiao Chenghuan has no talent in hard work, but he has a lot of means to protect his own interests and accumulate wealth and shirk responsibility.

In order to prevent the leakage of news and prevent him from going south to the south of the Yangtze River to control the water, the major consequences of causing thousands of deaths and injuries to the capital were transmitted to the capital, causing the court to question and crusade against his ability, Xiao Chenghuan ordered people to eliminate the insiders one by one. If you can submit to him, and use it for him, let it be opened according to the situation. If you don't know how to understand the times, you will be killed.

In addition, he cut off the communication channels of the post stations in Taizhou, Yangzhou, and Taizhou. Intercept and kill all the messengers who tried to deliver letters to the capital during this time. And all the officials south of the first line of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains were dragged into the water, and they went with him to search the bags of all those who went to Beijing along the way.

I have to say that Xiao Chenghuan is really poisonous and ruthless, and has no mercy.

Xiao Chenghuan didn't pay much attention to water control, and after the accident, he put all his energy on blocking the news and intercepting and killing insiders. He no longer commanded indiscriminately about water control, and Cheng Mingsi took the opportunity to get the command of presiding over water control.

The imperial court's support was intercepted, most of them were missing, and only a small portion of the relief money was sent to the disaster area. Cheng Mingsi had no choice, so he called on the local people and took three or four assistants to run around the main river road in the flood-stricken area for three months. Finally, a way to control the diversion was found. Xiao Yanxing was inconvenient to show up, so he borrowed the hand of the Wang family to contact Cheng Mingsi and secretly helped.

After the rejuvenation, the flooding situation in Jiangnan was slowly alleviated. But the current situation of the victims is still a big problem.

Post-disaster comfort, restoration of farmland and water conservancy, and related disaster relief all require sufficient manpower and material support. Xiao Chenghuan has killed and replaced many people in the past six months, and now there are only one or two people who can use them. Payments for disaster relief have also been delayed. All the people in the affected areas gathered in their shacks in the city, struggling to survive on relief food from the Wang family and some local well-wishers.

Wang Shu had already sent 3,000 stone of grain to Jiangnan. Although the Wang family has sufficient food, they can't stand the endless transportation.

The Wang family has an industry, and there are grain shops in Daqing that need grain. Wang Shu insisted on emptying two granaries, which has caused grain stores in some areas to run out of stock. The lack of adequate food supplies has a huge impact on the operation of business. The people below are naturally dissatisfied, and they are bound to ask Wang Shu for an explanation for this.

Among them, the one who jumped the hardest was naturally the shopkeeper in the capital and nearby areas.

The grain store business in the capital is the most stable, and many people in Beijing have no good land to cultivate, and most of them rely on buying grain to survive. The Wang's grain store is the best quality and the most trusted grain sold in the grain store, and the people who are used to eating the Wang's grain will naturally not accept this cut off supplies. Many wealthy and wealthy families with bigger factions have also gone to the grain store to find trouble for this reason.

The shopkeepers of the Wang family in the extreme north of the capital have written to condemn Wang Shu for this, accusing her of not knowing how to operate and fooling around.

Not to mention that Wang Shu didn't care about these people's stumbling powers. She did find out something about it. For example, eight times out of ten goods are transported from the south to the north. Nine will be intercepted, but it is very fast to deliver letters from the north to the south. There are almost no signs of being demolished.

She felt a little strange in her heart, did these shopkeepers in the capital have anything to do with the government? Why can't other people's letters be delivered, but these people's letters are unimpeded? How did they deliver the letters?

Of course, doubts are doubts, and Wang Shu's attitude towards the shopkeeper is naturally extremely tough.

She listens to things that make sense, and she's happy to find ways to solve them. But some people kicked their noses in the face and took the opportunity to pinch the master, Wang Shu would never tolerate it. Before the end of last year, the people who had been sent to support had already arrived. Someone is watching over there, and Wang Shu can directly command remotely. Those who try to suppress people with power and do something that threatens the master's family, Wang Shu can perfectly avoid it with strong force.

These people who have come down from the battlefield themselves have innumerable means to scare people with one enemy and a hundred, and the results of dealing with them are naturally gratifying.

Some tricky things are deliberately entangled with people, and there is no possibility of arguing with Wang Shu here.

Only this happened, and the 'ancestors' in the capital finally knew that it was powerful. The new head of the Wang family is even more difficult to mess with than the original head of the family. If Wang Chengjin is a man who uses both soft and hard, this Wang Shu is a real knife and a real gun to fight with others, and he will see blood when he starts.

For a while, no one dared to underestimate this little girl who was only sixteen years old.

Speaking of which, this is also what Wang Shu learned from Mao.

It's just that you can't be too embarrassed to do things, and the necessary ruthlessness is a must. Only by reasoning with reasonable people and arguing with cheaters can we effectively solve problems. As for these old shopkeepers who want to talk to her about qualifications and age, I'm sorry, relying on the old and selling the old won't work in her, and everything is based on ability and business results.

On the Wang family's side, Wang Shu has successively cleared the accounts of the royal family's industries in more than a dozen states. If there is a problem, there is no problem, Wang Shu has done it in his heart. The capital and Jiangnan areas, which have relatively large problems, are still under investigation for the time being.

Among them, the problem of the capital is the most difficult to solve for the time being, and it will be put to the end. Wang Shu is more concerned about Jiangnan.

There is a large amount of farmland in the south of the Yangtze River, and these farmlands are to some extent the foundation of the Wang family.

Wang Shu pondered taking some time to go to Jiangnan and see the situation of the farmland in Jiangnan for himself. It's March, spring ploughing time. As a top student of agricultural science and technology, she really can't leave so much farmland alone. What's more, the Wang family's grain last year has been washed away by the flood, and if there is no supply this year, the Wang family's granary will be empty.

Just when she was pondering these things, Xiao Yanxing was so angry that she smashed a set of tea sets in the study.

Xiao Chenghuan is a stupid thing, he has the audacity to say it, and he is extremely brazen. waited for Cheng Mingsi to clean up the mess in Jiangnan for him, took the credit on his own head in a grand manner, and ordered Cheng Mingsi and his assistants to be killed.

Cheng Mingsi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is an important minister of the court from Sanpin. With so many meritorious ministers, he dares to kill him?

Cheng Mingsi's three beloved apprentices, Cheng Tao, the eldest grandson of the Cheng family, was released from the capital two years ago. Cheng Mingsi's proud successor. Another Guozi supervisor reads, Liang Changye. Born in a humble family, but extremely intelligent. The last Lin Ziyue, the expelled concubine of the Lin family. Although he was a two-list jinshi ten years ago, he has been sitting on the cold bench in the Ministry of Industry due to the suppression of family forces.

However, he has been following Cheng Mingsi for many years, but his name is not obvious, and his grade has not been promoted, but he is an extremely rare person who can do practical things.

Xiao Yanxing has been paying close attention to these people. As a result, one of the three people died and two were wounded. Cheng Mingsi is also missing.

"Uncle! Calm your anger! ”

General Ouyang's eyes were blood-red, and he had not rested for three consecutive days in order to search for Cheng Mingsi's whereabouts along the river.

At this time, he fell to one knee and did not raise his head for a long time.

His rough voice contained a sense of exhaustion, and he said: "My subordinates received a report from an informant that there were traces of people moving around in the lower reaches of the Jinjiang River that day. I heard that someone had seen an old man in wet clothes in Xiahe Village. Master Cheng is still alive, but he doesn't know where he is hiding. But the injuries of Lord Cheng's beloved disciples are quite fatal, and I am afraid that they will not be able to be cured......"

An old man in brown robe next to him immediately said, "Master Cheng Ji has his own natural appearance, and nothing will happen." ”

"Seek, keep looking."

Xiao Yanxing was rarely so angry. Xiao Chenghuan's robbery is another matter, and he will definitely settle the lives of thousands of people with him in the future. The top priority is to find Cheng Mingsi: "Increase manpower, be sure to bring Master Cheng back before Xiao Chenghuan's people find someone." ”

“…… As for Cheng Mingsi's students, they must try their best to treat them. Let's take Mr. Higashino over. It's bound to save people! ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Yanxing sent out all the people he could send out, and Cheng Mingsi must not die.

The atmosphere in Xiao's house is becoming more and more tense, and even the concubines who are idly drinking tea and enjoying flowers in the back house feel it. They never knew what was going on in the front hall, but they knew that everything in the family was subject to Xiao Yanxing's mood. The master's mood is not beautiful, and there is no good life in the back house. The master is in a good mood, so they can steal half a day of leisure.

“…… No wonder the master is crazy, in the good house, the mood becomes faster than the child's face. "Mei is fed up.

Seeing the faces of the people in the sky, the mood of the lord is not accurate.

"Don't say it, you dare to say anything, and you're not afraid of being heard and sued to the master!"

Liu Ruhui can see it, crazy people, always cloudy and uncertain. Who can expect a madman to be more considerate? The madman didn't come to take them, and they deliberately got angry. Glancing at the outer wall, she said considerately: "Besides, the master didn't embarrass us on the other side." It's just that Mama Yuan warned her that she has not been very interested in recent days. Don't go down the road to the front yard. ”

As soon as Mei said a word, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Although she and the Liu family often talk together in the mansion, there must not be much in terms of how deep the sisterhood is. The Liu family looks down on anyone the most, and he must look down on her in his own heart. She didn't keep the door on her mouth when she spoke, maybe one day the Liu family would harm her, so she went to the master to sue her.

"That's right." Tuck the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, Mei quickly changed the topic, "Hey, don't talk about these things, why do you say that the house has been so quiet recently?" Is there another person missing from our house? ”

"You said that Wang?"

"yes." Mei also didn't pay much attention to the two merchant girls, and the Wen family and Wang Shu were not much different from the slaves and maids in the house in her eyes. But Wang Shu was hand-picked to live in the outer courtyard, and the treatment was completely different from that of several other concubines.

is too special and has to pay attention to her from time to time, "I could still see her going to the back kitchen, and from time to time I would tinker with food that could not be eaten on the table to please Mama Yuan." How has it stopped lately? Don't see her running to the big kitchen, as if she disappeared in the house? ”

Not to mention, Mei didn't mention it, and Liu didn't pay attention to it. At this time, she also noticed the difference.

"Shouldn't you run away like Wen?"

"She can't run, she doesn't have that guts. estimated that she had a trick with Mama Yuan again, and ran back to the countryside to tinker with her flowers and plants. Liu's brows furrowed, "The Wang family doesn't have to care, Bai has a good skin, and his brain is weird." The village girl in the countryside is also thinking about this little thing, what kind of flowers can be tossed? I, on the other hand, recently received a letter from my sister. ”

Originally, the Liu family was reluctant to mention it, but with the appearance of the Xiao family, no one else could make up her mind. Mei is in the same situation as her, and must have similar ideas. Speaking out, you can also discuss a good response.

"What?" Since Mei entered the abolished prince's mansion in Lin'an County, he has cut off contact with his mother's family. It's been a long time since I heard from home.

"There's a draft coming up in June this year."

At the mention of this, Liu Ruhui panicked, "I heard that Your Majesty has plans to give your grandfather another wife." ”

Mei's face changed, and she became uncomfortable. There is too much difference between having a master mother and not having a master mother in this back house. There are housemothers, and as long as they enter the door, they will be pressed on their heads. No matter how noble their origins are, the concubines are inferior.

"Is this serious?!"

"Six or seven out of ten." Ryu let out a sigh.

……

Not to mention, the Mei and Liu clans were sad about the news, and Wang Shu's carriage had already entered Yongzhou.

Wang Shu had to go to Jiangnan at this point in time, but he was not allowed. But at the cost of almost being gnawed bald, coupled with the emotion and reason, Xiao Yanxing finally agreed to her to go to Jiangnan.

Many people were arranged to escort her along the way, asking her to return as soon as the spring ploughing was over. Wang Shuquan agreed. She also didn't want to be out for too long, tired.

Chapter 64

Go down from Yongzhou to the south of the Yangtze River. If the carriage travels day and night, it will take at least half a month.

Wang Shu had learned about the situation in Jiangnan in advance and knew that martial law was under control in this area, so he was very careful along the way. There are some levels to be dotted, and there can be no ambiguity at all. When you go out, it is naturally best to spend money and cause less trouble. However, because of the Wang family's good deeds of transporting grain to the south of the Yangtze River, the government was relatively tolerant of the inspection of the Wang family's convoy.

Wang Shu sat quietly in the carriage, patiently waiting for the official to let him go.
