It rained too much that day, and although Xie Yunlan discussed it with Xie Fanghua, he was still placed in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion that night.The Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong is large, there are few people, there are many courtyards, and there is a Fangcao Zhai near Zhilan Garden.Although Xie Yunlan refused to live in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion all the time, Xie Fanghua thought about it, and still sent someone to clean up Fangcaozhai, giving Xie Yunlan the opportunity to live there occasionally when it was too late and the rain and snow were too big, similar to today, when it was inconvenient to rush back to the mansion.Xie Yunlan has no objection to this.It rained for a day and night, and the next day it was still dark, and the heavy rain did not stop, which was quite lingering and going down.After Xie Fanghua got up, she stood in front of the window and looked at the sky, and her eyebrows couldn't help but be as dark as the sky.Such heavy rain has been raining for a day yesterday, if it continues to fall, Linfen Bridge can no longer be built in the rain, so it can only be stopped.Obviously, with such a sky and such rain, it looks like it will rain for at least two more days.After the heavy rain, if the Linfen Bridge starts again, it will take a lot of effort because of the rain for three days, and the things that have been prepared earlier may not be completely washed away by the heavy rain.If it is not complete, the construction period will be delayed.The thousands of acres of land near Linfen Bridge cannot afford to delay, and 10,000 households cannot afford to delay.Concubine Liu and Concubine Shen, the Liu family and the Shen family, now that they see such a rain, they don't know how they will feel.In order to kill Qin Yu, they made a lot of money, and the Xie family erased the mistakes they made in order to contain Qin Yu, but if the emperor could not be angry, if he was not too angry earlier, he would also be angry when he saw such rain today.I don't know how the emperor's anger will shake the government and the opposition."
Miss, up," asked the waiter softly while standing under the eaves with an umbrella.Xie Fanghua responded.The waiter pushed open the door and entered the house, put down the umbrella, and said to Xie Fanghua, "Just now there is news in the palace that the emperor has already issued three holy decrees, one of which is for our Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and the person who delivered the decree should come to our mansion soon."
Shizi Rang heard that Yan had just come to spread the word, saying that with such a heavy rain, even if the holy decree came later, you didn't have to go out. ”"Three Holy Decrees" Xie Fanghua turned his head and looked at the painting.The waiter nodded, "It is said that a holy decree is for the prince, a holy decree is for the second prince of Zheng, and a holy decree is for the fourth prince." ”Xie Fanghua squinted his eyes, "What kind of holy decree" "It is said that he gave the prince a holy order, gave the post of squire of the Ministry of Works, and ordered the prince to go to Linfen Town and repair the Linfen Bridge within two months.If the matter is done, the emperor will be rewarded again. ”The waiter glanced at Xie Fanghua, and his tone was a little angry, "Your Majesty, this is a big problem for our son."
Now that the rain is so heavy, everyone knows that the Linfen Bridge is going to delay the construction period.But the emperor let the prince go at this time. ”"What if it doesn't work out," Xie Fanghua asked."
I didn't say how," the waiter said, sighing out.Xie Fanghua sneered, "If the matter is successful, the official will be rewarded, and if it is not done, it will be punished." ”The waiter's tone changed, and he asked nervously, "Miss, the holy decree is about to arrive, so what should I do, is there a way to make the prince not accept this will?"
"Since the holy decree has been issued, news has been spread in the palace, how can the holy decree issued by the court in front of the civil and military officials be said to be withdrawn At this time, not only our mansion has got the news, but all the mansions in the capital should also have received the news." ”Xie Fanghua said, "I can only continue."
The Marquis of Zhongyong cannot openly disrespect the decree. ”"But there's no such thing, how can it be completed in two months," said the waiter urgently.Xie Fanghua was silent.Seeing that the young lady was silent, the waiter thought that he should be thinking of a way to deal with it, so he was silent and didn't dare to disturb her.After a while, Xie Fanghua asked again, "What did the other two holy decrees say?"
"The holy decree given to the second son of Zheng was to order him to go to the Xishan camp for training after he recovered from his injury, and he was not given an official position, but only said to sharpen his temperament."
The holy decree given to the four princes was also not conferred an official position, and he was allowed to follow the right phase to participate in politics. ”The waiter said dissatisfied, "In the end, it is the emperor's son, the second son of Zheng broke the Dragon Gate Array and was so seriously injured that he got this, and our son, integrating the entire Xie clan, handed over so many silver taels for construction, anyway, it gave a big problem."
On the other hand, the four princes don't have to do anything, and follow the right phase to learn to participate in politics, which is the easiest. ”After hearing this, Xie Fanghua pondered for a moment and smiled, "The emperor is the emperor in the end, and it is worthy of being cunning to be able to hold the Southern Qin Jiangshan in his hands for so many years."
Qin Zheng was going to the camp in Xishan, so he gave Qin Yu to participate in politics, and sent his brother to Linfen Bridge, and he left for two months.If he doesn't give the order, in addition to disrespecting the decree, there is another point, that is, he will not want to enter the court again in the future.As long as my brother wants to enter the court, he must respond to this holy decree, and after he leaves, my grandfather and I will be left.Grandpa is old, and I'm always a woman.Qin Zheng can't come back in three days when he goes to the Xishan camp, and his brother is not there, so he is also in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, which is really a good calculation. ”The waiter became even more nervous when he heard this, "Then Miss, what should I do" "What else can I do" Xie Fanghua disagreed, "Although the Linfen Bridge is difficult to build, it is not impossible to complete it within two months, after all, this meridian of Southern Qin, Shinong Industry and Commerce is indeed in our Xie family."
A good bridge craftsman, if others in the court can't invite him, his brother can also have a way to invite him.Practicing day and night, if nothing happens, is also feasible. ”The waiter was relieved, "But the prince was transferred out of Beijing, if the second prince of Zheng is not in the city, what if the emperor takes the opportunity to deal with you and the old marquis" "I'm afraid that he won't deal with me" Xie Fanghua's face was cold, and his eyebrows were coldly stained with a touch of mockery, "Don't think that the old and weak women and children are easy to bully" The waiter straightened his chest when he heard this, and said with a breath of anger in his heart, "Miss said that the slave maid and others must protect the young lady and the old prince well." ”Xie Fanghua raised her eyes and glanced at the waiter, and when she saw her puffing out her cheeks, her eyes were firm, and she immediately smiled.She hadn't noticed that the painting was so cute.They are also at the age of high liveliness and spirit, and what has been suppressed by her brother's training since childhood, as long as she slowly releases their individuality, it will always be revealed.When the waiter finished speaking, she blushed when she saw Xie Fanghua smiling at her, "Miss, what the slave said is true, you laugh at me" "Well, I don't laugh at you anymore" Xie Fanghua turned his head, looked out the window, and said to her, "You go and call my brother back, just say I know." ”After a pause, he added, "After he receives the holy decree, he should go to Grandpa's Rongfu Hall first and tell him that I will go later." ”The waiter answered, and hurriedly held an umbrella out of the Begonia Garden.Xie Fanghua stood in front of the window and watched for a while, and heard the sound of rain faintly coming from the door of the mansion in front of him, and the sound of "the holy decree has arrived", so he turned around and went to freshen up.After she freshened up, the bustle in front of her vaguely dissipated, and she took an umbrella in the painting hall and went out of the room.There is a drainage ditch in the Chungyong Marquis' Mansion, so even if it rains heavily, the blue stone brick floor does not accumulate much water because the rain and snow were taken into account when the houses and roads were built.Xie Fanghua walked over, and the hem of her skirt was a little wet.Not long after, she came to Zhilan Garden, and saw Xie Yunlan walking out of a road on the west side of Zhilan Garden with an umbrella, and when she saw her, she smiled at her, "I want to go to Rongfu Hall" Xie Fanghua nodded, "My brother has received the holy decree, he should go to Rongfu Hall, and the construction of Linfen Bridge cannot be delayed, I'm afraid my brother will set off in the next two days, I'll go and see, his body doesn't know how, can he stand it." ”"It stands to reason that he should rest for more time, but the emperor obviously doesn't give him time to rest."
Xie Yunlan sighed, "I'll go to Rongfu Hall with you." ”Xie Fanghua nodded.The two went to Rongfutang together with umbrellas.When he came to Rongfu Hall, Xie Mohan had already received the holy decree and arrived at Rongfu Hall, and the Marquis of Zhongyong was sitting at the table looking at the holy decree.When Xie Fanghua and Xie Yunlan stepped into the threshold, they only heard the Marquis Zhongyong say with emotion, "When the descendants of our Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion first entered the court, the emperor will give us a big problem, how many years and generations of emperors, how many rules have been changed, but this unwritten rule has not changed." ”Xie Fanghua snorted coldly when he heard this, "Dogs can't change eating" "You dare to say such rude words to a stinky girl" Zhongyong Hou raised his head when he heard this, looked at the door, and glared at Xie Fanghua, "I'm not afraid that Yunlan will laugh at you" Xie Fanghua pouted at him in no mood, looked at Xie Mohan, and saw that although his face was a little white and his breath was a little empty, there was no sorrow between his eyebrows, knowing that he already had a way to deal with it, his heart was slightly relieved, and he walked over and asked, "Brother, how do you feel about your body" Xie Mohan smiled, "It's okay, sister, rest assured, Even if you set off today, you are not afraid. ”Xie Fanghua frowned, "You want to leave today" Xie Mohan nodded, seeing that she was not very satisfied, he said gently, "Grandpa said to follow me together and help me look at my body at the same time, he also happens to know some things about bridges, and he can also help me." ”Xie Fanghua breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "Then I'm relieved." ”When the words fell, she said a little reluctantly, "But is grandpa going to leave from Linfen Bridge" Xie Mohan nodded, "Well, grandpa plans to do so." ”Xie Fanghua was even more reluctant, "When I returned to Beijing from my grandfather, I actually haven't accompanied my grandfather well. ”"Bastard girl, since you returned to Beijing, you haven't been with me well, have you had a lot of things every day.Even if he stays in the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, you can accompany him for a few days" The Marquis of Zhongyong couldn't get used to Xie Fanghua's face, and glanced at her, "It's just like going to Meizu, although it is thousands of miles away, his legs and feet are tough, and he can return in two years." ”Although Xie Fanghua saw that Marquis Zhongyong was blowing his beard and glaring at her, what he said was the truth, and the reluctance in his heart dissipated a little, and he smiled, "It's the same." ”He asked again, "What are your uncle's plans?"
"Uncle was going back to Boling Cui's family, but the emperor didn't allow it."
Although he was dismissed from the position of general of Wuwei, he is still a person in the court, and he can't just leave before the emperor spits out.Uncle meant to stay in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion first, and now I go to Linfenqiao, with my uncle and Yunlan, I don't feel at ease. ”Xie Fanghua nodded."
Yunlan will move to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion in the future, you don't have to worry about Qin Zheng, he will go to the barracks after he recovers from his injury, only his sister and grandfather are in the mansion, he is also not at ease, with you, he is better at ease than the calculation of the person in the palace."
Xie Mo said vaguely.Xie Yunlan smiled, glanced at Xie Fanghua, nodded, "It's okay" Xie Fanghua saw that Xie Mohan was all settled, and it seemed that he was planning to leave today.She couldn't say anything more, she just said, "Brother, if you don't have enough manpower, I still have someone to transfer it for you" Xie Mohan shook his head, "It should be enough."
After I leave Beijing, you just need to take care of the house and take over the general affairs. ”The words fell, and he said, "Originally, I was not at ease, but since Yunlan is here, I am relieved to have him help you." ”"Where are there so many worries, your grandfather, I'm not old enough to move," Zhongyong Hou waved his hand, "Let's eat, after dinner, you will enter the palace and ask the emperor if there is anything else to instruct, if he doesn't, you can leave for Linfen Town." ”Xie Mohan nodded.The four of them sat down to eat.After the meal, Xie Mohan immediately entered the palace.Xie Fanghua thought about it after Xie Mohan left, called the waiter, and said to him, "You still follow your brother to Linfen Town, you have been waiting by his side for many years, and you can win his heart than listening to his words." ”The waiter shook his head, "Miss, the prince ordered me to stay in the mansion earlier, I am the housekeeper in this mansion, just listen to him and take it." ”When the words fell, seeing that Xie Fanghua was not at ease, he said in a low voice, "In addition to the eight handmaidens trained by the prince, he himself has eight secret guards, all of which are first-class.And there are also two hidden guards in our house, one is taken away by the prince and the other is left.It's all arranged. ”Xie Fanghua stopped hearing this, "Since my brother has arranged it properly, then forget it, let's let Tingyan follow" The waiter nodded.Xie Fanghua waved his hand at him, he went down to prepare Xie Mohan's travel bag, this trip will take two months, although the capital is not far from Linfen Bridge, only a hundred miles, but Xie Mohan also has to supervise the project, there is no way to return to Beijing."
Stinky girl, you go to your grandfather for half a day, your brother is about to leave, and it will be afternoon.Yunlan will stay here to play chess with me, you are not bad at taking care of the housework, look at the account book this day, and talk about it tomorrow," Zhongyong Hou said.Xie Fanghua looked at Xie Yunlan.Xie Yunlan smiled and nodded.Xie Fanghua also felt that he was not in the mood today, turned around and walked out of Rongfu Hall, and went to find Cui Jing.When she found Cui Jing, Cui Jing was talking to Cui Yun, and when they saw her coming, they both greeted her with a smile.Xie Fanghua entered the house, put down the umbrella, and reluctantly walked over to hug Cui Jing, "Grandpa, I can't bear you." ”Cui Jing smiled, "If you little girl let Qin Zheng's stinky boy see it, I'm afraid even my vinegar will have to be eaten." ”Xie Fanghua was speechless and withdrew from his arms, even if he joked, she was in a bad mood, "When will you be able to come back again" "At least a year and a half, at most two years" Cui Jingdao, "The poison of burning hearts on Yunlan's body, I will take the time to see if there is any solution." ”"If there is no one to accompany you, how difficult it should be on this journey" Xie Fanghua muttered, "In this way, I will send two people to accompany you all the way" "No need" Cui Jing waved his hand, "Since the Purple Cloud Daoist left Wuli Mountain, I have been used to being alone all these years.Besides, it's not all alone, along the way, I will also visit famous mountains and rivers and meet some Taoist friends.I'm too troublesome for you to send someone to follow.Forget it. ”"Then you must pay attention to your body and take care of yourself."
Xie Fanghua said.Cui Jing nodded, "I hope that when I come back, you and Zheng Boy will already be married" Xie Fanghua blushed.Cui Jing looked at her appearance and laughed, "It's best to have a baby and I can have great-grandchildren." ”Xie Fanghua's face twitched, if she said that it was a big wedding, she still thought it was possible, if she had a child, forget it Cui Yun looked at Xie Fanghua's mouth twitching, and couldn't help but laugh.In the past half a day, Xie Fanghua stayed with Cui Jing, and together with Cui Yun, the three of them talked and laughed, said something else, and passed by in a flash.At noon, Xie Mohan came back from the palace, and the three of them went to Rongfutang together.Xie Fanghua asked him about entering the palace, and the emperor sent Cui Yizhi to him as his deputy.She was surprised for a moment when she heard this, and asked, "What is the emperor's idea?"
"You don't know the emperor, he just hasn't understood Cui Xiaozi yet, this kid is a thoughtful master, I don't know what idea to fight, say that he is towards the royal family, no."
Say that he is heading towards the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, I can't see it.I don't dare to use it for a while.So, let him go out with your brother. ”Zhongyong Hou said, "If you let it go like this, the position of the squire of the military department is not his, for the time being." ”Xie Fanghua frowned, "He pushed Cui Yizhi to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion" "It doesn't necessarily mean that there is no secret decree in private." ”The Marquis of Zhongyong curled his beard, "After all, the emperor is the best at this trick." ”Xie Fanghua's face was slightly cold, remembering that Cui Yizhi was ordered to accept Qin Yu on his face, but behind him, Li Muqing took a secret order to greet him.The royal family seems to be the best at making the open and secret decrees together, and the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch behind.She said, "Brother, will Cui Yizhi go with you?"
"Come with me" Xie Mohan said.Xie Fanghua thought for a while, "I'll send you and your grandfather out of the city in a while" Xie Mohan was thoughtful, knowing that she was afraid that she wanted to see Cui Yizhi, nodded, "It's okay" Zhongyong Hou, Cui Jing, Cui Yun, Xie Mohan, Xie Yunlan, Xie Fanghua had lunch together, this meal was eaten for a full hour, and after the meal, Xie Mohan and Cui Jing set off together and went to Linfen Town.Xie Fanghua wanted to send it himself, but Xie Yunlan said that he would go out of the city and go back to the house to get some things to use with him, after all, at least in the future, Xie Mohan will live in the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong for at least two months after leaving Beijing, so the two of them sent Xie Mohan and Cui Jing out of the city together.The carriage envoy left the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and headed towards the south city gate, and the only person who left with Xie Mohan was Tingyan.The carriage arrived at the South City Gate very smoothly, and Cui Yizhi's carriage was already waiting there.Cui Yizhi opened the curtain and took a look, said hello to Xie Mohan, and the carriage went out of the south gate together.------ digression------ dear, it's almost the end of the month, and the monthly pass is chasing:
