Chapter 81 The First Lady Is Not Vicious 22
The construction of the embankment was much faster than Feng Chu expected, and it was completed before the flood season.

After tossing outside for more than half a year, the whole person was busy and slimmed down, Wushuang finally returned triumphantly with good news.

The next step is to just wait. The Ying Canal breaks its embankment every year. As long as the embankment does not break this year, it will be considered as a preliminary test.

Back in the capital, Wushuang went home immediately.

In the end, she saw her own mother, Yuan Qiniang, sitting at the door with an umbrella, being served and drinking tea to enjoy the cool.

It's just that the big sun outside the door can't wait to bask in the flow of people.

There are also carriages coming and going, the sky is full of dust, and at a glance, you know that this is actually waiting for you.

It's just that there is no reason for the elders to go out to greet the younger generation, and Yuan Qiniang was anxious to see her daughter, so she made this attitude of enjoying the cool at the door.

Wushuang was moved, jumped out of the carriage, walked a few steps and said, "Mother, my daughter is back!"

Yuan Qiniang stood up abruptly, rushed over to grab Wushuang's hand, and looked up and down.

"It's thinner, it's darker, and it's hard outside."

Wushuang smiled and said: "It's not bitter, what I want in my heart can be fulfilled, my daughter doesn't feel bitter, she just feels satisfied."

Yuan Qiniang wiped away the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief, and smiled proudly: "Yes, my daughter is capable, mother is proud of you!"

Mother Fang on the side stepped forward and said: "Ma'am, I know you miss the eldest lady, but the eldest lady has traveled all the way, so she must not be able to eat, drink and rest well.

It's better to let the eldest lady wash up first, and then have a good meal, and it's not too late to talk after resting. "

Yuan Qiniang immediately said: "Mother Fang is right, Shuang'er, go and wash up quickly, if you are tired, go to sleep first."

But she was reluctant to leave Wushuang, so she simply brought Wushuang back to Man Tingfang.

Let Wushuang wash and rest in Mantingfang, and send someone to bring Wushuang's clothes by the way.

After Wushuang finished washing, he changed into clean clothes.

Yuan Qiniang has already prepared a large table of dishes, and the variety of dishes is comparable to a full banquet of Man and Han.

It's just that Yuan Qiniang was alone at the table.

Wushuang asked strangely, "Mother, are you alone at home?"

Yuan Qiniang sighed and said: "Your father was sent by the emperor to handle some errands, he has been away for two months, and he doesn't know when he will come back.

Your elder brother and your younger sister have not returned from Jiangnan with Princess Pingning.

You don't know, I heard that Princess Pingning turned Jiangnan upside down. "

Having said that, Yuan Qiniang frowned, her tone tinged with worry.

"This Jiangnan is not active, Princess Pingning is a princess after all, those people may not dare to touch her.

Your brother doesn't have this background, so he doesn't know what's going on now? "

Although full of worries, Yuan Qiniang never thought of letting Bai Zhexi come back.

As a mother, Yuan Qiniang is inevitably worried that the child is going out to explore the world.

But she never held her children back, she let the children go by themselves.

Wushuang thanked Yuan Qiniang for being open-minded, seeing Yuan Qiniang worried, she comforted her: "Mother, there are a thousand imperial guards around the princess, and the princess mansion's own guards follow.

The elder brother is in charge of the princess. The princess will definitely not ignore the safety of the elder brother. The possibility of an accident with the elder brother is very small, and the mother does not need to worry too much. "

Yuan Qiniang sighed and talked about Bai Wei again.

"You are right about your father, the queen mother is in conflict with the emperor's power, and the queen mother doesn't look like she can delegate power.

The emperor wants to be in charge, and some people are waiting. What good is it to go to the emperor at such a time.

Besides, you brothers and sisters are all helping the Queen Mother now, and you are going to become a close minister of the Queen Mother.

You and your brother are enough to guarantee the glory of our Hou Mansion, so why go to the emperor to curry favor. "

Wushuang smiled and didn't comment on this.

It is too easy to understand why Bai Wei wanted to seek refuge with the emperor.

Compared with the glory brought by his sons and daughters, he wants the glory brought by himself.

He didn't want to stay out of power, but the queen mother didn't reuse him at all.

So, what is easier to gain power than to be close to the emperor and become the emperor's confidant.

After all, the queen mother is the emperor's mother. No matter how long she holds onto the power, she will return the power to the emperor sooner or later.

Now, when the emperor is still weak, he is loyal to him. When the emperor is in charge, he will naturally be reused by the emperor.

Now Wushuang is on the queen mother's side, and Bai Wei is on the emperor's side, which is equivalent to investing at both ends, and he will not suffer any loss.

Yuan Qiniang knew that neither her daughter nor her son liked her father very much, so she didn't say much.

But before the meal was finished, the Empress Dowager summoned Wu Shuang.

According to the usual practice, the imperial envoys are usually summoned the next day when they return to Beijing.

The fact that they were summoned on the first day showed how much the Empress Dowager cared about the construction of the embankment.

Wushuang could only rush to the palace, and at the gate of the palace, he met Feng Chu who was also called over urgently.

The Empress Dowager had been waiting in Weiyang Palace for a long time, Wushuang and Feng Chu hadn't even finished their rituals when they were called up by the Empress Dowager and hurriedly asked about everything about the construction of the embankment.

In fact, both Wushuang and Feng Chu wrote detailed memorials for these processes, but the Queen Mother still has to listen to the two of them personally.

Feng Chu explained in detail how he built the embankment, and all kinds of technical terms successfully confused the Queen Mother.

In the end, Feng Chu assured very firmly that the embankment would not be washed away for at least 30 years.

The queen mother stood up excitedly, said hello a few times, and then promoted Feng Chu to Minister of the Ministry of Industry on the spot.

During the reign of the Queen Mother, she built a river embankment that has not been crossed for 30 years. This is one of her achievements and will be recorded in the history books.

After asking Feng Chu, the queen mother began to question Wushuang again, and she wanted to listen to every detail.

Wushuang told me how many times he was assassinated, how he caught Lin Yin, and how he treated the civilian husband kindly.

The empress dowager's eyes lit up, her admiration for Wushuang was unobtrusively displayed on her face.

It's just that the queen mother didn't say that she would give Wushuang an official position, but said with a sigh: "At first, the Ai family thought that they would give you an official post after you repaired the embankment.

However, those stubborn old people insisted on resolutely opposing it on the grounds that the embankment has not been tested and whether it can really stop the flood.

But don't worry, don't be impatient, as long as the embankment doesn't break down this year, Aijia will definitely let you stand in court. "

Wushuang saluted and said: "I would like to thank the Empress Dowager, I just want to share the worries of the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager walked up to Wushuang, supported Wushuang affectionately, and said, "Don't worry, your loyalty is dear to your family, and your family knows that you will never disappoint your loyalty."

Although Wushuang could not be awarded an official, the reward given by the Queen Mother was not ambiguous at all.

One mouth is a long list of treasures rewarded, each of which is priceless and hard to buy with money.

Wu Shuang returned to the mansion with a long list of rewards, and Yuan Qiniang was overjoyed again.

Wushuang took out a bunch of things that could be given away from the rewards, and was going to visit his grandfather Yuan Shou.

It's been so long since she traveled here, but she still hasn't seen Yuan Shou.

It's a pity that just as Wushuang was preparing a gift to visit his grandfather, the Empress Dowager sent someone to summon Wushuang again.
