"Cousin, why don't you introduce yourself? I have never been to Chen County since I was born, and I don't know Xie's current seniority." Ye Yuanwen poured a cup of hot tea for Xie Fengyue very naturally.
Xie Fengyue didn't even look at him, but just stared at the cup of tea in front of her: "It can be seen that my cousin has never known the Xie family. The direct descendants of the Xie family have never drank tea. Most of them make tea." < br>
After saying this, Xie Fengyue picked up the cup of hot tea, put it to her mouth and blew it: "But I am not a direct branch of the Xie family, I am just a side branch of the Fuxian family. The style of this generation of girls is vague and casual. It means, my name is Rou.”
Xie Fengyue once again boldly borrowed Xie Fengrou's name. Anyway, there are too many lice and they are not itchy, so it doesn't matter.
"It turns out to be cousin Fengrou."
Xie Fengyue was really fed up with his roundabout ways and interrupted bluntly: "Cousin Ye, we don't know how many rooms we are apart from each other. It seems a bit too fake for you to ask me to talk about old times and homesickness. You might as well just talk about it. ”
This was the first time that Ye Yuanwen met a girl who didn't know how to be charming. In the past, girls from the Yue Kingdom loved his gentlemanly behavior.
He sneered and said, "I've been worrying too much. Cousin Fengrou is so straightforward, so I'll just tell the truth."
"The person my cousin came to pick up that day has some relationship with the former prefect. I hope my cousin will tell the truth about that person's identity."
Xie Fengyue only sipped his words for a moment and understood immediately. He was not sure what he was saying. As for the prefect, he must have heard about his father because Mrs. Xihua had informed him. But if If there is detailed information, Ye Yuanwen will not come to ask today, it is probably just a portrait.
That is my uncle who has traveled here. I came here this time to fulfill my uncle's mother's wish and to find him to return to the capital to reunite with her.
Xie Fengyue was very good at telling lies, her face didn't turn red, her heart didn't beat, and she even wanted to laugh.
"It seems that my cousin is worried about me. Half of these words are lies." Ye Yuanwen narrowed his eyes, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Xie Fengyue really wanted to laugh. If this person were a different person, she might be able to deceive something. But what she said was not even half a lie. There was not a single word of truth in her mouth.
Xie Fengyue pretended to be angry and stood up: "My cousin doesn't want to believe it, so don't believe it. Why are you talking nonsense?"
Ye Yuanwen then put down his cup and grabbed her sleeve: "My cousin is really angry. I just said an unpleasant word and I'm about to leave?"
Xie Fengyue folded her hands on her chest and said proudly: "My cousin talks in a roundabout way. If you ask me a question, I will answer it. If you don't believe me, just forget it and still make sarcastic remarks. This will make anyone angry."
Ye Yuanwen then put away his smile and became more serious: "Cousin, this matter is related to the people's livelihood in Lingnan, so I am being more tactful. You have been in Lingnan for some time and you must have heard about the previous prefect. It’s about scraping the people’s fat, but after I came to Lingnan, I ransacked his home and even his ancestral home, and I only found a total of 3,400 taels of silver.”
He stopped talking and looked at Xie Fengyue with burning eyes before continuing: "I have seen your uncle's portrait in his secret letter. It was the only secret letter that did not contain a single word, only a portrait. , he must have a great relationship with the previous prefect.”
Ye Yuanwen stared at Xie Fengyue with his eyes, wanting to see how she would behave after hearing this. He thought that for a girl, hearing about it was a big deal, and if she knew anything about it, she would definitely show off.
But Xie Fengyue looked calm, so calm that Ye Yuanwen felt that the girl was not even listening to him.
"My cousin is overly worried. The portrait may be a tracing document sent by the family to various places. After all, I am not the only one looking for my uncle."
There was not a word of truth in Xie Fengyue's mouth, but her calm and composed look made Ye Yuanwen start to think about whether he was overthinking it. In the end, Ye Yuanwen still didn't see anything wrong on her face, and sighed: "I am the one who caused trouble today. Please forgive me, cousin Fengrou. There are still many general affairs waiting for me to handle in the office, so I won't keep my cousin."
Xie Fengyue wanted to leave a long time ago. Naturally, she was not unhappy after hearing his words. She stood up gracefully and before going out, she did not forget to praise him: "My cousin is one of the few nobles who thinks about the people." ”
Ye Yuanwen twitched his lips and looked at the empty private room.
What's the use? How can I single-handedly reverse the decline of Qian'an? If all the nobles indulge in pleasure and ignore the livelihood of the people, something like this will happen sooner or later.
After Xie Fengyue returned to Wuyi Lane, the first thing she did was to ask Huarui, who was guarding the room, to rub her shoulders and waist.
Hua Rui pinched and joked: "Sister Zhezhi, don't drive in the car anymore, I'm afraid the girl's posture will fall apart."
Zhe Zhi looked depressed: "Girl, you are serious. You just said that I was not stable when driving. Why do you have to grit your teeth and hold on?"
Xie Fengyue slumped on the soft bed and did not answer any questions. Instead, she asked vaguely: "Is the master back?"
Huarui lowered her voice: "Girl, you just left, and the master came back with several scrolls of bamboo slips. I heard from Brother Xiaobao that they are all gifts from Mr. Meishan."
Xie Fengyue stood up and sat on the sofa. Just as she was about to put on her shoes and explain to her father that we would leave tomorrow, she thought of his chattering again and simply lay back on the sofa again: "Zhezhi, go and explain to the father that we will leave tomorrow." Chen Jun.”
Zhezhi blinked, obviously not understanding.
Hua Rui stopped her movements and said: "Sister Zhezhi, come and pinch the girl, I will report to the master."
Xie Fengyue naturally has her own reasons for saying that she can return to Chen County. His father is a road idiot who does not distinguish between east, west, north and south. As long as he is a good student tomorrow and talks to Lian Jun, the government soldiers and attendants along the way, let alone going to Shengjing. Of course, the father didn't know. As for the name of the county, Xie Fengyue had already thought about it, and he would not be allowed to leave the team at all on the grounds of safety along the way.
Even if he really knew it, it could be said that he would go directly to Shengjing to discuss it with the head of the Xie family.
Anyway, let's hold steady first, lest he avoid her like an enemy.
The small courtyard is not big, and Hua Rui came back to answer after a while, holding a few bamboo slips in his hand: "The master said that Mr. Meishan has great talents. Although these gifts are simple and easy to understand, they all contain profound meanings, which makes the girl Read it carefully. ”
Xie Fengyue took out a scroll at random and placed it flat on the soft table: "Today, the people who want to use the politics of the previous kings are to stick to the law. This is why the saints do not expect to cultivate the ancients, and the law cannot be permanent, and they discuss the affairs of the world, because of this Prepare.”
Just the first sight made Xie Fengyue get goosebumps all over her body
This is not a gift at all, it is simply a roundabout way of scolding the nobles in Qian'an for being stubborn, sucking up the people's fat, and following in the footsteps of the previous dynasty and the country's destruction.
Nowadays, people who want to use the politics of the former kings to live in the world will all be like Zhuzhu. Therefore, the saints do not expect to cultivate the ancients, and they do not follow the law forever. They discuss the affairs of the world because they are prepared.
