Wei Lan greeted Xie Zichen, and asked Xie Zichen's people to help keep an eye on her uncle Wei Yan and second uncle Wei Kai.
Speaking of which, Changxinhou's Mansion is indeed not up to snuff, and her father is fine. He looks like a marquis, but in fact he fights on the front line every day, and has no military power. If the emperor doesn't like it, there is a risk of losing his head at any time. And her two so-called "promising" uncles and second uncles have been together for so many decades, one is just a senior minister of the fourth-rank middle prime minister, and the other is the head of the fifth-rank lower-rank warehouse department. Although these two are both officials with real power, in terms of rank, they are not too different from Wei Lan who has just entered the court. Xie Zichen entered the department with real power, a sixth-rank superior servant, and Wei Lan was an emperor's aide, and a sixth-rank superior minister.
Wei Lan was in such an official position when she first entered the court, so Wei Yan and Wei Kai were naturally a little panicked. They originally wanted the position of the Marquis of Changxin. They just looked at Wei Shao's face before, thinking that Wei Shao was good to them, and he looked short-lived, so they planned to wait for Wei Shao to die naturally. Then go to fight for the position of Marquis of Changxinhou Mansion. However, who would have thought that in just a few years, Wei Lan would grow so rapidly that they couldn't help but panic, and attacked Wei Shao first on the way back to Beijing.
It turned out that this nephew was much more powerful than they had imagined, so he led someone directly to save her father. Then they wanted to get rid of Wei Lan even more, but they couldn't find a good opportunity until the emperor showed his intentions towards Wei Lan, they thought about it, and wanted to use the emperor's hand to remove this stumbling block.
Giving Wei Lan to the emperor is of course a great benefit to the Wei family. From then on, the emperor will treat the Wei family preferentially for Wei Lan's sake. As for a male favorite, it is difficult to become an heir. Even if the emperor agrees and Wei Shao agrees, it is impossible for the elders of the Wei family to agree.
Wei Yan and Wei Kai's calculations were shrewd, but Wei Lan never thought that Wei Lan would dodge it again. Wei Lan was so witty that Wei Yan and Wei Kai couldn't help but panic, and began to think about finding an opportunity to make Wei Lan disappear completely.
Wei Lan can guess their thoughts with her toes. But she remained silent, as before, she neither provoked the two uncles, nor took the initiative to say hello, the same family, like strangers, even in the court, there may not be any conversations.
The emperor was naturally unaware of these detours. He originally coveted Wei Lan's beauty, but because Xu Fu calculated that Wei Lan and his fate were unsuitable, he was a courtier who protected the dragon with a sharp sword, but if he wanted to blend in with each other, Wei Lan's killing spirit was too heavy, and he was afraid of hurting the dragon's spirit. The few beauties sent by Xu Fuxin pestered the emperor all day long, so the emperor lost his mind and only looked at Wei Lan as a knife. Looking at it this way, I feel that Wei Lan is a good knife, not only easy to use, but also beautiful, so I can't help but love it a little more.
For Wei Lan's sake, and because Wei Yan and Wei Kai had shown their loyalty so resolutely before, the emperor was also very satisfied with them, and often praised them in the court hall.
Regarding this, Wei Lan smiled and said that the emperor was probably a fool.
The two sides have been in such a stalemate for more than half a year, Wei Yan and Wei Kai couldn't find a chance to make a move, and Wei Lan didn't make a move, but secretly, Wei Lan quietly replaced the soldiers and servants of the Changxinhou Mansion, going up and down Like a bucket. Xie Zichen didn't quite understand Wei Lan's meaning, but he didn't intervene, An Anxin was his own censor, and talked about people every day, as if he had become a major pillar of Yushitai.
In the early summer of the second year, Wei Lan also gained enough favor with the emperor and courtiers in the position of Shang Shulang. The emperor thought about plating the knife with gold. It happened that Jingzhou was flooded at this time, so the emperor thought about it. Wei Lan was sent to Jingzhou to give her a chance for promotion.
However, Wei Lan’s Shang Shulang’s position is indeed a bit embarrassing. To control floods and severely punish corrupt officials should be the work of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials, or even Yushitai or Dali Temple. Wei Lan is an emperor think tank, unless it is the current If you are an imperial envoy, otherwise it will be difficult to have a reputation. The emperor was worrying, when Shangguan Prime Minister’s note came up, saying clearly that the flood in Jingzhou, the situation is said to be not very stable, ordinary civil servants are afraid of accidents when they deal with this matter, they should find a military officer who is also responsible for civil affairs to lead go out.
He was born as a general, but he has a civil position. Who else could do such a thing except Wei Lan
The emperor felt that Prime Minister Shangguan was very sensible, so he immediately approved the paper.
Wei Lan was drinking tea at home when she heard the news. Her menstrual period came, and she was lazy and not able to cheer up. As early as in the morning, Xie Zichen noticed that Wei Lan was not feeling well, and sent her all the way back to Changxinhou's mansion, and then carefully laid her bed. Turning on the stove, let him hug the stove, reclined on the couch, and then told her about recent information.
Wei Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, listening to Xie Zichen read the information to her, and now that Huan Heng is accompanying her in the palace, Xie Zichen is the one who accompanies her most often.
After reading the message Wei Yan gave her, Xie Zichen frowned and looked at her: "How do you plan?"
"How to plan?" Wei Lan closed her eyes a little tiredly: "Wait for Wei Yan to do it. He is an old fox, please play for me, I am afraid there is a trap waiting for me."
"Then the flood in Jingzhou..." Xie Zichen frowned, Wei Lan waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter."
The two were talking, and Lin Xia walked in. She had just returned from the Imperial Medical Office, and she still had some blood on her body. Seeing Wei Lan, after looking up and down, she frowned and said, "My lord, are you feeling unwell again?"
"Yeah." Wei Lan nodded, glanced at her, and said indifferently: "Is it okay in the Imperial Medical Office?"
"Very good," Lin Xia said excitedly, "Let me tell you..."
"Don't talk about it yet," Wei Lan raised her hand, stopped Lin Xia's words, and said instead, "I'll just ask you, when will you marry Wei Hua?"
Lin Xia and Wei Hua have also been engaged for more than a year, but Lin Xia has not moved for a long time, and Wei Lan can't help feeling a little impatient. After asking Wei Hua, Wei Hua put on rouge and said casually: "Whatever, she can afford to wait for a woman, what am I afraid of?"
Wei Hua was not afraid, but rumors about Shengjing were flying everywhere. A seventeen-year-old unmarried woman, no matter how beautiful she is, is still an old girl. Every day, people would ask Wei Lan whether Wei Hua's marriage will be successful or not, so that they can come to propose marriage. Wei Lan was almost bored to death.
Seeing Lin Xia shrinking her head, Wei Lan couldn't help but sneer.
"Why, my Wei family sent you to the imperial medical office, but sent you out of your ability?"
"Don't dare!" Lin Xia immediately wept, and glanced at Xie Zichen who was drinking tea next to him, wondering: "Master, where do I have such courage?"
Seeing Lin Xia's expression, Wei Lan understood, and said to Xie Zichen, "It's getting late, I'll send Zichen back home."
As he said that, he was about to get up, Xie Zichen waved his hand, and said calmly: "Lie down if you feel uncomfortable, I am not a woman."
Well, if it's a woman, she won't give it away.
Wei Lan sighed, but insisted on sending Xie Zichen out. After sending them to the carriage, she sent Ran Mo to escort them, so she was relieved. When Xie Zichen left, Wei Lan turned her head, looked at Lin Xia and said, "What are you and my brother going to do, you can give me a certain number."
To marry or not to marry, if you marry her, hurry up, if you don't marry her, you will kill this heartless woman for her brother, how can her brother be such a delicate man, how can he spend so much time with her
Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Xia sighed, followed Wei Lan and said, "My lord, it's not that I don't want to marry, but I just feel that in this important marriage, we still need to be happy with each other, and there is absolutely no reason to marry hastily. "
"Do you think my Wei family is not good enough for you?" Wei Lan's face turned cold, and Lin Xia hurriedly said: "No, Mr. Wei is good everywhere, with an ID number, good looks, and temper... er, temper is still okay."
"So what are you dissatisfied with?" Wei Lan laughed angrily. In her opinion, if her brother was placed in Daliang, he would be the one whose pursuers would have to line up from Daliang to Dachen. If it weren't for the lack of good women in this world, Lin Xia could barely be counted as one, otherwise she would never betroth her brother to such a person because of her white clothes and weak temper! In the end, she returned it and picked on Wei Hua.
Lin Xia probably knows what Wei Lan is angry about. In the past two years, she has figured it out. Wei Lan is a replica of a pure machismo. She is extremely demanding of women, but extremely indulgent towards men. No, it doesn't mean to indulge, but to ask for something different. For example, Wei Hua, in Wei Lan's eyes, is perfect, high-status, beautiful, good-natured, virginal, clean and innocent, such a man is rare in this world even holding a lantern.
Lin Xia couldn't help sighing, and following Wei Lan into the room, she mustered up her courage and said, "But my son, in this marriage, it is also very important to be happy with each other."
"Feeling in love?" Wei Lan sneered, "That's something a man thinks about. You, a woman, did you listen to someone tell you what you have and what you don't have, and you have such an idea?"
she just knew...
Lin Xia rolled her eyes in her heart, and she knew that Wei Lan was absolutely absolutely, and she couldn't understand a woman who was so emotional!
But this is related to her marriage, she took a deep breath, knelt down on the ground with Wei Lan, and said seriously: "My lord, in your last life, did you marry a master you didn't love like this?"
"Can I be like you?" Wei Lan couldn't help laughing, she took a sip of her tea, recalled her previous life, and said quite proudly: "I don't need it."
A woman needs capital to engage in such things as mutual affection. Like Lin Xia, if she were Lin Xia, she would definitely marry a man to consolidate her status, otherwise, with her soft temperament and dangerous identity, it would be really difficult to get ahead in the Imperial Medical Office.
Men want to talk about mutual affection because men are emotional after all. Moreover, a man's whole life is tied to a woman, and a woman is his heaven. If he loves him, he will be honored and favored all his life; , that is also hard life.
But women are different. A woman's heart should be tied to her own great cause. If you marry a man and come back, if you don't like him, then treat him like a guest. You can find a concubine outside yourself, or hire a servant. With the person you like, even if you are not together, how important is love? Feeling the responsibility, it is enough to love this man for the rest of his life.
It's a pity that Lin Xia is still too young...
Thinking of this, Wei Lan sighed, feeling that she understood Lin Xia a bit. After all, she is also a 40-year-old person. Didn't she think so when she was young? What's the deal with a little girl.
So he patted Lin Xia on the shoulder and said, "Ah Xia, there are two types of women in this world. One is like me in my previous life, and the other is an ordinary person. In my previous life, I did whatever I wanted, whether I get married or not." But it doesn't really matter, I was originally from a noble family, and I was a nobleman at the age of twenty-nine. At that time, there were never many men around me, so it's no different from me if I get married or not, so I can pick and choose, I always want to find someone I like. But you see, in my life, although my background is not bad, it is far from easy as in my previous life, so I have to find someone to help me take care of the inner house. For example, if I pick Xie Zichen, you How much do I like him? It’s just because he is suitable. He is good-looking, he was born in the Xie family for a century, and he is a bastard. You see, even I only consider whether it is suitable or not, so what qualifications do you have to consider whether you like it or not?"
Hearing these words, Lin Xia's expression almost cracked.
"But... son..." Lin Xia struggled and said, "This is not your previous life after all, I... I'm just an ordinary woman..."
Hearing this, Wei Lan was stunned, and Lin Xia took a deep breath, and then said: "My lord, in your previous life, women were superior to men, so you probably don't understand. In a world where men are superior to women, you always think that big women are indomitable. With a heart full of love, feelings are just icing on the cake, dispensable, can make you a prosperous life, a supreme minister, this is the most important thing. For this reason, you can use anything, even marriage. But this is only because, you always Thinking, even if you marry a man, when you fall in love with another person, you can marry another one. You never thought that if you lose someone, you will never be able to keep it for the rest of your life. "
"But this is not your previous life."
Lin Xia's words made Wei Lan feel a little tight in her chest, but no one had ever told her about it. After so many years, she vaguely understood it, but it was still difficult to accept it. She forced herself to sit in front of Lin Xia and listened to her: " Lin Xia was born in an era of equality between men and women in her previous life. We are all monogamous, whether it is a man or a woman, whoever he likes, if they are together, unless they get divorced, they really cannot be together for the rest of their lives. Yes. Son," Lin Xia raised her head and looked at Wei Lan: "People are alive, isn't it just for happiness. Being an extreme minister is ambition, and calming the world is arrogance. To sacrifice one's love for this is called a daughter's true nature. Then I want to marry someone I love, and sacrifice my ambition and grandeur for this, is this weak?"
"My son," Lin Xia looked at Wei Lan's thoughtful expression, and continued: "Men in this world are much stronger than mine. Your dream of three husbands and four gentlemen will never come true here. Unless you want to throw Let go of your sense of responsibility and give up after marrying a husband, otherwise you will know that in this world, if you miss a love, you will never be able to save it for the rest of your life."
"Being willing to risk your life for what you want is bravery. As for whether you risk your life for ambition or love, it doesn't make any difference. Lin Xia is a doctor, and she really wants to make a big splash in the Imperial Medical Office, but that doesn't mean Lin Xia Xia will trade marriage for power. I hope the prince understands."
With that said, Lin Xia took two steps back, stretched out his sleeves, put his hands on his forehead, clasped his body to the ground, and said respectfully: "Lin Xia is grateful for the kindness of your son, but if you want to marry Mr. Wei, you must do it because Lin Xia's heart is fond of Young Master Wei, and he wants to be with him for the rest of his life, relying on each other, and standing together through thick and thin. Lin Xia's heart, I hope the prince will understand."
Wei Lan didn't speak, she looked at the person kneeling on the ground.
Lin Xia has always been soft-tempered, but this is the first time she directly analyzed her heart like this. Wei Lan looked at her quietly, for a moment, she couldn't tell whether this person was really weak or stronger than her.
She hooked the corner of her mouth and said, "Then do you like my brother?"
Hearing this, Lin Xia blushed, lying on the ground, unable to get up.
"I'm asking you, why are you hesitating?"
"Lin Xia... Lin Xia..." Lin Xia held back for a long time, and finally said: "If... you don't like it... naturally... you won't propose marriage... I just think... marriage matters... need to be carefully considered..."
Hearing this, Wei Lan looked at Lin Xia who was blushing, and couldn't help but patted the table and laughed loudly. Then he said: "Go down, let me laugh for a while."
Lin Xia: "???"
What's so funny about that
But she didn't want to ask too many questions, she stood up and retreated respectfully. When Lin Xia left, Wei Lan waved towards the inner room and said, "Brother, come out."
When she asked Lin Xiaxi if she liked her brother, she sensed Wei Hua coming in. Wei Hua knew that he couldn't hide his sister, so he came out from the inner room, with a vaguely lotus-colored long dress, swaying waist, looking graceful and seductive.
Wei Lan asked Wei Hua to sit down, poured tea for Wei Hua, and said, "My brother usually bullies Lin Xia, right?"
"What's the matter?" Wei Hua picked up the cup, shrugged and said, "It's just a joke."
"Then brother," Wei Lan lowered her eyes, thinking, "Do you want to marry her?"
"Marry her?" Wei Hua raised his eyebrows: "A-mei, I've always wondered why you have so many strange ideas. In fact, even if we get married, she should marry me."
Hearing this, Wei Lan couldn't help laughing, she stroked the rim of the teacup, and said with a low smile, "Then brother, don't you feel resentful about my being the son?"
"Why am I resentful?" Wei Hua raised his hand and lightly poked Wei Lan's forehead, and said dotingly, "You are just too preoccupied. Everyone has their own destiny. If you want to be an official, pursue Power, I can see that. As for me, I like to wear beautiful clothes, embroidered with willows, so happy. Since we like different things, we might as well change, it’s also very good.”
"Besides, if you are not the son of the prince," Wei Hua said with bitterness in his eyes, "Sister, a woman's life is indeed too difficult. I hope you will not be forced to marry and expect a man to live your whole life like them. You You are a very talented person, you see, it is much better for you to be a prince than me to be a prince."
Wei Lan didn't say a word. Although she dotes on Wei Hua all the time, she is more or less wary. At this moment, listening to Wei Hua's words, she felt for the first time that this is indeed a brother who loves his sister very much. He likes women's clothing and likes to dress up as a woman, but such an exaggerated behavior may not be without some truth in helping her pave the way.
Wei Lan went there when she was seven years old. She came here and spent more time with Wei Hua than Wei Lan herself. Facing Wei Hua's love, Wei Lan couldn't help but feel a little sad and moved. She stood up, came to Wei Hua's side, and hugged Wei Hua into her arms.
"Brother," she sighed, "thank you."
There was a smile in Wei Hua's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "If you want to thank me, help me get Lin Xia! I'm going to decide on this person!"
Wei Lan: "..."
It always felt like she had fallen into a trap.
Seeing Wei Lan stunned, Wei Hualang laughed out loud, Wei Lan coughed, straightened up and said, "All right. But there is something I want to tell my brother."
"Huh?" Wei Hua raised his eyebrows, and Wei Lan took out a list from his sleeve: "Now I have replaced all the people in the mansion, except for the maids and guards who basically served around me. I have lost my family, and the current guards are some newcomers. The list in your hand is trustworthy, you can find them if you need anything."
Hearing this, Wei Hua knew what Wei Lan was going to do, so his face darkened, and he nodded.
Wei Lan returned to the table, thought for a while, and said: "Grandma and father are weak-tempered, when the time comes, I will rely on you, brother."
"what are you up to?"
Hearing these words, Wei Hua couldn't help frowning, Wei Lan smiled, twirled the fan in her hand, and said slowly: "Jingzhou is flooded, I have to save people."
After Wei Lan gave these instructions, within a few days, the imperial decree to let her go to Jingzhou was issued in the court. Although some people still complained about this matter, under the cooperation of the Prime Minister and the Emperor, they didn't say much. Xie Zichen went back to Changxinhou's mansion together with Wei Lan, and after talking to her about the situation in Jingzhou, Huan Heng hurried over from the palace.
Now that Wang Xi, Lin Che, and Zhang Sheng have all graduated, only Ji Shao, Ruan Kangcheng, and Huan Heng, who are at the bottom, are still studying with them. According to Huan Heng's grades, graduation is unlikely. Fortunately, he is a military general, and his career has nothing to do with entering the Imperial Academy. Xie Qingjiao and Huan Heng are tired of teaching. He didn't study at all, and ran to Changxinhou's mansion from time to time, making Xie Qing too lazy to care about him.
Huan Heng hurried into the room, seeing Wei Lan and Xie Zichen discussing matters, his heart was filled with evil fire. Fortunately, he is much more stable now, he held his breath, walked into the room and said, "Why is Fourth Young Master Xie here?"
"Your house?" Xie Zichen went back indifferently, Huan Heng snorted coldly, remembered the business, and went to Wei Lan and said: "A Lan, I heard that you are going to Jingzhou soon?"
"Have you heard that too?" Wei Lan beckoned Huan Heng to sit down and poured a cup of tea for Huan Heng. Huan Heng, like Xie Zichen, is growing fast now, and Wei Lan has only grown a few centimeters in the past two years, which makes him Wei Lan had to feel a little sad. Watching Huan Heng sit down, I heard him say: "Okay, then I will pack my luggage tonight and set off with you tomorrow."
"Teacher didn't give you a fake, did he?" Xie Zichen said lightly from the side, but he was thinking in his heart that he couldn't follow this time, but the people of Jingzhou have always been tough, and every year such as disaster relief, they have to do something What's wrong, Huan Heng is highly skilled in martial arts, and he followed him, which can be regarded as a guarantee. If my cousin didn't give him a vacation, I'm afraid I'm going to do a favor.
However, now Huan Heng has learned to be smart. Ever since he sneaked out of the palace and climbed the wall and was caught by Xie Qing and copied the book five hundred times, Huan Heng has already learned to ask for leave, and proudly took out the leave note approved by Xie Qing. Proudly said: "How about it, are you jealous?"
Xie Zichen snorted lightly, feeling that talking to this person would be an insult to his IQ.
"Okay," Xie Zichen didn't bother to talk to Huan Heng, but instead looked at Wei Lan and said, "I have ten secret guards here, all of them will go with you."
"There's no need for the hidden guard," Wei Lan thought for a while, but said, "Reliable doctor, just leave one for me."
"Lin Xia won't go with you?" Hearing this, Xie Zichen couldn't help being a little surprised, but Wei Lan nodded: "Lin Xia... I have other uses. There is one more thing," Wei Lan's words made Xie Zichen a little uneasy, Hearing Wei Lan's words, he couldn't help frowning, and then heard her say: "When I'm not around, you can take care of Changxinhou Mansion."
Everyone in the Hou's mansion, except for Wei Lan, is docile. Once Wei Lan leaves, her uncles and uncles may pounce on her. Wei Lan didn't need to say this, Xie Zichen understood. After nodding his head, he said lightly: "Tomorrow I will join Prime Minister Chang Shi's second son to ride the horse for a while, and they will not be able to get away for the time being, so you can rest assured."
Wei Lan nodded, but didn't say much.
According to what she knew about her two uncles, if she left this time, they might rush to Changxinhou's mansion desperately.
This time they didn't do anything. In this life, they were afraid that when she became Chang Xinhou, they would have no chance.
Although Changxinhou's Mansion is said to be a declining Marquis's mansion, its century-old family wealth is always much greater than those of the bastards who were separated separately.
As long as she dies outside, her younger brother Wei Xiong also dies, or she loses her right of inheritance, or her father dies, the uncles and uncles will work a little bit, get permission from the patriarch, and then ask for an imperial decree from above. It is logical to inherit the Changxinhou Mansion.
pity…
Wei Lan smiled.
They probably won't have that chance.
On the second day, Wei Lan set off with Huan Heng. The two of them had traveled to almost every inch of land in the north side by side. After two years, Huan Heng couldn't help feeling a little excited.
There was nothing delicate about the group, so Wei Lan abandoned the carriage and rode directly to Jingzhou. The journey that was scheduled to take half a month was shortened to seven days by them. Seven days later, as soon as they arrived in Jingzhou, they felt very stuffy. Some people wanted to take off their shirts, but Wei Lan gave them a cold look, so they could only suffer.
After arriving in Jingzhou, although Wei Lan's official position is low, she is an imperial envoy, so Xie Jie, the governor of Jingzhou, came to meet her. Xie Huai is a side branch of the Xie family, and before Wei Lan came, Xie Zichen had written a letter to this distant cousin, asking him to entertain him more. Now Xie Zichen is the hottest rookie in the Xie family in the new generation except for the eldest son Xie Yulan, but he entered the Yushitai at the age of sixteen, so he has a bright future. And because of his status as the "son of the unicorn", the emperor greatly favored Xie Zichen, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that this bastard was bound to become a great success in the future. When Xie Huai got the nephew's handwritten letter, he became concerned, knowing that Wei Shizi and Xie Zichen must be close friends, so naturally he would not neglect, so he came to meet Wei Lan at the door in person. Seeing that the man was nearly fifty years old, but still handsome, Wei Lan checked the information from before, and immediately confirmed that it must be Xie Huai from the Xie family.
"Thank you, Inspector," Wei Lan bowed to Xie Huai and said respectfully, "This junior came in a hurry, so I didn't inform the Inspector in advance, so I'm bothering the Inspector."
"Wei Shizi cares about the common people, it is my blessing in Jingzhou." Xie Huai said with a smile: "Wei Shizi, please."
Wei Lan nodded and looked Xie Huai up and down. Wei Lan was used to top-notch things and was always sensitive to details. However, after scanning around, she found that although the governor looked well-groomed, he was wearing jade pendants. "Breath in the sleeves". She couldn't help but be wary, if this Xie Huai wasn't a big corrupt official with deep thoughts, then he must be a really honest official.
She came here for disaster relief this time, but her real duty is to supervise the disaster relief. After all, the food and grass have arrived before her. She just wants to ensure that the relief food reaches the people. The government will do its duty to deal with the aftermath of the disaster. Write to the court, asking the court to send people from the Ministry of Punishment, Yushitai, or Dali Temple to handle the case. Of course, at critical moments, she also has the right to kill first and play later. But if this is done, there must be enough evidence to prove the necessity of her actions. Most officials are not willing to provoke this show. Wei Lan is a veteran in the officialdom, so naturally she would not do such a thing.
A group of people went to the governor's mansion first, Xie Huai didn't hold any reception banquet, but simply asked officials from all over the place to have a meal with Wei Lan. There are eleven counties under Jingzhou, and it takes several days to go back and forth between each county. Wei Lan only met with a few nearby county chiefs to hear about the disaster situation.
This time, all parts of Jingzhou were affected by the flood, and Anping County was the most serious. Although it was called Anping, but because it was just downstream of the river embankment, it was late at night when the water dragon came, and most of the people in the city were gone. Now The body is still being processed.
But the strange thing is that most of the people in Anping County died. Changping County, which is also downstream of the river embankment and a little ahead of Anping County, suffered much better. The reported deaths were less than a thousand people. Because Anping and Changping are far away from Jingzhou City where the governor is located, and the county chiefs of the two counties are not there, Wei Lan asked a few words about the reason, but everyone was also vague. Xie Huai said that it was because of the flood. Therefore, although they are both in the lower reaches of the river, Anping was much more seriously affected.
None of these people were the local sheriff, and even Xie Huai only learned about it from the official document reported by the sheriff. Wei Lan understood that they were not very clear about it, so she nodded without further questioning. After discussing the specific plan for disaster relief in the middle of the night with all the officials, Huan Heng returned to the room.
However, when he came to the door, Wei Lan suddenly thought of something, and said to Huan Heng: "We are newcomers, just to be cautious, you should share a room with me."
If the officials in this disaster relief were tricky with a grasshopper, she, an imperial envoy, would be very dangerous.
Hearing this, Huan Heng was stunned. He was no longer the young boy who didn't know anything a year ago. Judging from the erotic pictures, he already understood what he should know and what he should not understand. After hearing Wei Lan's words, he couldn't help but feel a little awkward. A lot of his previous dreams appeared in his mind, and he blushed and said, "That...isn't that good …”
Wei Lan glanced at Huan Heng suspiciously. In her memory, Huan Heng has always been the kind of person who wanted to hide in her bed with her in the barracks secretly with the quilt in his arms. How could he refuse him one day
Looking into Wei Lan's eyes, seeing that she was about to speak again, Huan Heng was afraid of her repentance, so he hurriedly said: "Ah Lan is right, this place is indeed dangerous, you and I should stay in the same room and take good care of each other."
Wei Lan: "..."
Who said it was bad just now
Although they are in the same room, Wei Lan will naturally not sleep in the same bed with him. Wei Lan pointed to the bed and said calmly: "You sleep there." Then she pointed to the small couch beside her: "I sleep here."
Hearing this, Huan Heng had a disappointed expression in his eyes. If he had ears, he could probably see that his ears shrugged and pulled down, and he struggled unwillingly: "Well... it's safer to sleep on the same bed... "
Still want to sleep in a bed.
Feeling Huan Heng's loss, Wei Lan couldn't help laughing out loud, feeling that Huan Heng hasn't grown up after all these years. She felt soft in her heart, walked in front of Huan Heng, rubbed his head, and said softly: "Hey, you are sharing the same bed with me now, it's too crowded."
"I don't mind!" Huan Heng quickly expressed his attitude. Wei Lan smiled and rolled her eyes, but said, "I don't mind."
"oh… "
Hearing that Wei Lan would feel uncomfortable, Huan Heng could only accept it. Wei Lan felt that the person in front of her was so cute that it made people want to kiss him twice more. Thinking of this, she couldn't hold back, lowered her head and kissed Huan Heng's forehead, and said softly, "Good night."
After speaking, he returned to the bed. Huan Heng froze on the spot, after a long time, he held the place where Wei Lan had kissed with his hands, he didn't know what kind of feeling it was, shy and sweet, after a while, he rolled over on the bed and hid under the quilt , secretly laughed.
Wei Lan listened to the suppressed laughter of the other party, shook her head helplessly, and closed her eyes.
Her family, Ah Heng, is so nice, what kind of woman is worthy of him.
Thinking like this, she suddenly remembered what Lin Xia said to her a few days ago.
It is impossible for her to have three husbands and four monarchs in this life, she has to find a master who really wants to live her whole life without regrets. But what does such a person look like? In fact, she never even thought about going to someone she really likes when she was a teenager in her previous life.
In her two lifetimes, she didn't have much time to dwell on these children's love. Even if he wanted to find a lord at the beginning, he considered more about his family background and appearance, whether he was suitable, and whether he could assist her. Xie Zichen is an excellent lord, but what if he is a lover
Wei Lan was a little sleepy. In a haze, he thought of Xie Zichen's face blushing under the peach blossom tree when he was kissed by her for the first time.
What is her lover, the person she likes
In other words, what does it feel like to like someone
She slowly fell asleep, while Huan Heng opened his eyes, listening to Wei Lan's breathing, he remembered vaguely.
It has been many years for him, and he has never felt that Alan is so close to him.
He couldn't help stretching out his hand, as if pulling that person into his arms, and murmured.
Alan.
After the two woke up, on the second day, Wei Lan said goodbye to Xie Huai, and decided to go to Anping County to take a look, but halfway through, Wei Lan suddenly turned around and said directly: "Go to Changping."
"Changping?" Huan Heng was stunned: "Why did you go to Changping?"
"With such a large flood, the other 11 counties have been affected to varying degrees. Changping, as the downstream, even if the county guards are strong, it is difficult to achieve such a slight degree of disaster. I have to go and see."
"Do you think that Changping County Sheriff lied about the disaster?"
Huan Heng frowned, Wei Lan smiled, but didn't say much.
She has provided disaster relief five times in her life, and every time there are various moths. In the case of Changping, it is likely that the county guard lied about the disaster. It has nothing to do with it, so I am afraid that someone from above will come to investigate. Otherwise, it would be to make the disaster milder, so that the court would have no time to take care of him. If another young imperial envoy came, they might really be fooled by them. After all, the eleven counties were affected by the disaster, and few imperial envoys actually went to check one by one. Naturally, start from the most serious.
However, if Anping is the source of the disaster...
Wei Lan couldn't help but frowned, so now Anping, without food relief from the imperial court, must be devastated.
When Wei Lan was rushing to Changping, Wei Kai was taking people to move things to Changxinhou's mansion. As soon as Wei Lan left in the morning, Wei Yan and Wei Kai brought people to visit the old matriarch and Wei Shao at noon. Wei Yan even brought his own little grandson here, and said with a smile that he came to visit the old matriarch. This reason is justifiable, and Wei Hua doesn't have much to say, but his intuition is not good.
Sure enough, Wei Yan took his little grandson and chatted with the old lady and Wei Shao behind closed doors for a while, and when they came out, they sent someone to carry the luggage that day. The dining table of Xinhou Mansion.
Wei Hua couldn't help becoming angry, and said with a suppressed voice, "Uncle and Uncle, are you here to eat at my Changxinhou Mansion?"
"Look at Alan... oh no, what Ahua said is true." Wei Yan slowly took the vegetables between his hands, and said like a good uncle: "Your father and I are brothers. Raised like my own mother, I am a descendant of the Wei family, living with my mother's younger brother is a good thing, where can I come up with such a saying."
As he said that, Wei Yan brought some food to the old matriarch, and said with a smile: "Mother, is your son right?"
Listening to Wei Yan's words, Old Madam Wei sighed and nodded. Although he knew that this son might be plotting something wrong, but when he thought of his hanged mother, Mrs. Wei couldn't help but feel a little softer. She felt that Wei Lan would only be out for a few days, and Wei Yan would not be able to make any troubles, so she nodded. He said: "What Ah Yan said is that they are all descendants of the Wei family. This Marquis of Changxin's Mansion is your home. You can stay for as long as you want."
Anyway, once Wei Lan came back, they wouldn't dare to come and live with them if they dared.
Hearing what the old matriarch said, Wei Hua remembered Wei Lan's previous instructions, and couldn't help but sneered: "Then when my elder brother is here, the second uncle may not come to visit, but now my elder brother has just left on the front foot, and the back foot is coming. I don't know, isn't it a ghost in my heart?"
"What are you talking about?!" Wei Kai slammed his chopsticks and said angrily at Wei Hua, "We are your uncle and second uncle. You are a junior. Do you speak like that? Third brother," Wei Kai looked at Wei Shao said angrily, "You're using your daughter's excuse to drive us away, right?"
"Where..." Wei Shao was also quite embarrassed, and hurriedly persuaded Wei Kai: "Second brother is too careful, my daughter is spoiled by me. Ah Hua!" Wei Shao's face darkened, and he reprimanded Wei Hua: "You give me Apologize!"
"What did I say wrong!" Wei Hua raised his voice: "You don't know what they are going to do..."
"Wei Hua!" Wei Shao also felt that Wei Hua had passed, and said angrily, "Go back!"
"Are you murdering me?" Wei Hua was stunned for a moment, Wei Shao sullenly shouted, "Come on! Put the eldest lady down and lock her up!"
As soon as the words fell, several servants came up and surrounded Wei Hua. Wei Hua flicked his sleeves angrily, and cursed: "Don't worry about it, I'll go by myself!"
When Lin Xia came back, he heard the news that Wei Hua had been locked up. She hurriedly went to see Wei Hua, only to find that he was indeed locked up and weeping softly inside. Lin Xia couldn't help but soften her heart, and holding Wei Hua's favorite pastry, said softly: "Don't cry, I brought you pastries, you open the window.
Hearing Lin Xia's voice, Wei Hua stopped and went to the side to open the window.
Speaking of Guan Wei Hua, Wei Shao is not that promising. Really Guan Wei Hua really made Wei Hua anxious. When Wei Lan came back to sue him, Wei Shao was afraid that he would not be able to bear his daughter's anger. But Wei Hua went too far, and Wei Shao didn't care much about face, so he asked someone to lock the door, so he could be regarded as Wei Yan and Wei Kai.
Wei Hua opened the window, took the pastry from Lin Xia, sat on the small table by the window, and said dissatisfiedly: "Alan asked me to take care of the mansion before he left, but grandma and father don't understand anything, please It's easy for gods to send gods away, but if they really live in, can they still be sent away?"
Wei Hua still had tears on his face. Listening to her complaining, Lin Xia couldn't help being amused, and said softly: "You, you are spoiled too much by the prince. You don't want them to come into the mansion and have sex with you in secret. It's fine if the father says it. It's no wonder that your father doesn't care about you if you are so open about embarrassing him."
"Ah," Wei Hua sighed, "You think I think so? But I know the temperament of my father and grandma all too well. They are afraid of offending others. I told them in private that Wei Yan and Wei Kai just need to be a little tougher. They are about to succumb. I was thinking today, I will sing the red face, they will sing the bad face, sing one and the other to throw the two brothers out, who knows...they are really helpless, there is really nothing to do."
"Don't worry too much." Lin Xia stood at the window and persuaded: "When the prince comes back, they can't do anything."
Having said this, Wei Hua couldn't help frowning.
"I'm just worried, they are so confident to live in, I'm afraid it's Ah Lan..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xia understood what Wei Hua meant, and couldn't help but feel worried. Seeing Lin Xia frowning, Wei Hua subconsciously placed his fingers between her brows.
He doesn't know why, he hated those crying girls since he was a child, maybe because he has been with Wei Lan for a long time, he likes the kind of independent women who have their own dreams. He originally thought that it would be very difficult for him to meet, but who knows, Ah Lan found such a treasure for him.
She is a bit stupid, looks weak and easy to bully, but with her family on her back, she dares to come to Shengjing alone. Her character is not too rigid like A Lan, but she is not like he hates those women, everything is just right.
It just happened to be the appearance he liked, and it happened to be the character he liked. Everything, no more, no less, just fine.
She was touched between her eyebrows by him, and she looked up blankly, her eyes a little dazed.
He couldn't help laughing out loud, then compared the height of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Short."
Lin Xia blushed suddenly, and said anxiously: "I'm not short anymore. You...you are a man after all, how can you come to compare me with who is taller?"
"Short still has so many excuses?"
Wei Hua raised his eyebrows, but he pulled her into his arms and said with a smile, "Come on, let me see how short you are."
"Wei Hua!!"
Lin Xia was dissatisfied, and then smelled the faint fragrance of his body. Lin Xia blushed, and heard the other party's unrepressed voice, said in a low hoarse voice: "A Xia, when you say, I will be taller, and you will be able to reach my chest. In this way, as soon as I hug you, You can hear my heartbeat."
"Um… "
Wei Hua's original pronunciation is very pleasant, with a slight hoarseness. In the words of Lin Xia's era, it is magnetism. Every time Lin Xia listened, she felt that her ears were about to become pregnant.
She didn't know what to say for a moment, her heart was beating fast, Wei Hua lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said softly, "Ah Xia, it's great that you're here."
"Well..." This time, Lin Xia finally knew what to say, she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, although the son is not in Changxinhou's mansion, I am here. I will definitely help you!"
Hearing this, Wei Hua couldn't help laughing out loud, as if he had heard a huge joke.
"You... you won't be like A Lan, you want to be a woman who supports the Hou's mansion and stands upright? Hahahaha... why do you all have such strange ideas..."
"You... you have the ability, tell the prince!" Lin Xia felt a little annoyed when he was laughed at by others after he had finally shown his loyalty. However, seeing her appearance, Wei Hua couldn't help softening his expression.
He rubbed Lin Xia's head and spoke softly.
"Silly girl," his eyes were full of tenderness, "with me here, what are you doing upright?"
"You're not Alan."
Alan is originally an eagle. As an elder brother, I will give him a piece of the sky.
But Axia, I am your husband, so naturally I want to support you.
The author has something to say:
[small theater]
Many years later, Xie Si became the regent, and his staff took refuge in him.
Xie Si: "There are no rules for being my staff, as long as you do things well. But there is a rule, you must remember and abide by it."
Staff: "I would like to obey the prince's order."
Xie Si: "Well, stay away from Mr. Wei. Don't take the initiative to talk to her, don't approach her, don't touch her, and don't please her."
Staff: "Don't worry, my lord, Mr. Wei is our enemy, and his subordinates will never betray the Lord!"
Xie Si: "You misunderstood, remember to protect her secretly, she is not your enemy."
Staff: "???"
Xie Si: "She is your mistress."
Staff: "..."
The staff felt that they seemed to know a big secret about the imperial court.
