After crossing, she was forced to become the first assistant

Chapter 31 Jizhou Floods

After warning Yu Changyuan 'viciously', he followed Fu Lianzi to the backyard on his short legs.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Wei Xingzhi sat down on the stone bench, crossed his legs, picked up a clean cup on the table and poured a sip of tea.

Standing not far away, Yu Changyuan said awkwardly, "Repay your kindness and apologize."

Wei Xingzhi took a sip of tea, looked up at him with interest, "Huh?"

Yu Changyuan pursed his thin lips, lowered his head and said in a soft voice, "It was I who misunderstood that you harmed my family... That's why I listened to others and assassinated you. You sent someone to bring back my adoptive mother, it was a kindness to me, I... know how to repay..."

"I'm more curious, who is this other person you're talking about?" Wei Xingzhi shook the cup in his hand lightly, the tea water rippled on the top of the cup, but it didn't overflow.

Yu Changyuan stared at the cup in her hand, he knew that she was strong in martial arts, but he didn't expect a girl to be so strong.

"I don't know. I said that the person just handed me a letter to the house and never showed up. And that person may have something to do with my adoptive father."

The relationship between his adoptive father and adoptive mother is not harmonious, but the adoptive mother is kind but does not allow the adoptive father to take concubines.But the adoptive father raised the outside room behind his adoptive mother's back...

"What my adoptive father does has nothing to do with my adoptive mother." Yu Changyuan paused, "My adoptive mother has a distant younger brother who lived in Jizhou and fled to the imperial city a few days ago, and only contacted me a few days ago Stepmother. Jizhou is flooded and the people have no place to live. Jizhou is close to Mengdan foreigners. If Jizhou falls, Mengdan will benefit.”

A few drops of tea suddenly splashed out of the cup in Wei Xingzhi's hand, and her face suddenly became serious.

She remembered that since the beginning of summer, except for the first few days of scorching heat, it has been raining continuously since then.

The imperial city is located in the Central Plains, and even so, the low-lying Jizhou area...

Wei Xingzhi felt a 'thump' in his heart. If Jizhou was really flooded and the people had no fixed place to live, then why was there no news from the upper and lower parts of the imperial city?

Did someone hide it?
Yu Changyuan looked at Wei Xingzhi's solemn expression, knowing that she listened to what he said.

"No matter how high your official position is in the court, there are still many loyal and upright officials who think that you are a woman and you are still young, and you are not worthy of being the chief assistant. But if you can handle this flood properly, you will undoubtedly stand in the court. Stand firm."

Wei Xingzhi frowned and pondered. He was right, but she didn't think too much about it. If Jizhou fell due to floods, the Mengdan Han tribe living in the grasslands would definitely take the opportunity to capture Jizhou.

Wei Xingzhi frowned.

No wonder Yu Changyuan couldn't wait to see her, it turned out that Jizhou couldn't wait.

Yu Changyuan continued, "This is the first favor I owe you, and I will pay you back."

Wei Xingzhi raised his head, thinking of the purpose of his trip, "Second favor, do one thing for me, and when it's done, go wherever you like."

"Okay." Yu Changyuan replied without hesitation, and didn't even think about asking Wei Xingzhi what was the matter.

Wei Xingzhi poured the tea in the cup down his throat, took out a jade pendant from his waist and threw it to him, "Take this to the Jucai Bank and find Wei Laolai, and he will tell you what to do."

Yu Changyuan caught the jade pendant with great skill.

Wei Xingzhi nodded in satisfaction. At this moment, Wan Qiyou also picked flowers and came back, a large bunch full of different colors and beautiful shapes, and presented them to her like a treasure.

"Sister, I'll give you flowers."

Wei Xingzhi raised his eyebrows in surprise. How could there be flowers in the backyard under such heavy rain these days?

Where did this kid get the flowers?

She turned her head and glanced at Yu Changyuan, who had a dark complexion, and a flash of clarity flashed in her heart, she didn't know who said it to Yu Changyuan, or to Wan Chengyou.

"The flowers are nice."

Yu Changyuan gritted his teeth and stared at Wan Chengyou. If he read the flower correctly, that snow-white thousand orchid was cultivated by him in the flower room!

And that seven-colored flower, that kind of seed he took a lot of effort to get.

He just pulled it out?

Who took him to the flower room?
Take his flowers to offer treasures, but there really is him.

Wei Xingzhi took Wan Tuyou's hand, took a meaningful look at the rockery not far away, turned his head and said, "Say hello to Mrs. Yu for me."

Yu Changyuan's face froze, and when he came back to his senses, Wei Xingzhi had already run away without a trace.

And the beautiful woman who had been standing behind the rockery also stepped out.

"Auntie."

Mrs. Yu smiled warmly at Yu Changyuan, then looked at the direction Wei Xingzhi left and said, "It's not easy for a girl to have such a smart and vigilant person among the younger generations."

Yu Changyuan curled his lips in disdain, "It's still very bad."

Mrs. Yu looked at him kindly, "You are more than intelligent, and you can remember things quickly and accurately, especially in business. But you are easy to be impulsive, not as good as this girl. It's organized."

She probably guessed what Wei Xingzhi asked Yu Changyuan to do in Jucai Bank.

This son of mine has been tricked by a little girl again.

Thinking of this, she smiled slightly.

Yu Changyuan muttered, "My flowers have all been pulled out."

Mrs. Yu slapped him with a smile, and reprimanded, "It's just a few flowers, just for your impatient eyes, and you have a lot to learn in the future."

In any case, she thanked Wei Xingzhi for helping her escape from the Yu family and live in this world with a new identity.

Wei Xingzhi originally thought that after returning to the Wei Mansion, he would enter the palace to discuss with the emperor about the flood in Jizhou.

Unexpectedly, the carriage was far away, and Fu Lianzi said outside, "My lord, there are many people coming and going in and out of the gate of the Wei Mansion, all of whom are either rich or noble."

Wei Xingzhi frowned slightly, lifted the curtain of the car and glanced in the direction of Wei Mansion, "Go around to the back door."

Most of those people were not very big officials in the court and some wives and children from aristocratic families, all of whom were waiting to enter the Wei Mansion with generous gifts.

I guess it's for scientific research, right?

Wei Xingzhi's eyes turned cold, and he said to Fu Lianzi, "Notify the people in the mansion that anyone who comes to give gifts and ask for an official position will return everything."

In this way, those who came to the house to give gifts did decrease a lot.

But there are still many wives who bring their sons to the old lady to gossip.

It's gossip, but it's nothing more than begging to kiss her children.

Wei Xingzhi is now not only an assistant minister, but also a celebrity in front of the emperor. Even the extremely noble King Duan was sent to the Wei Mansion to take care of him temporarily.

If anyone can climb into the in-laws with the Wei Mansion, there is no need for any scientific examination, whether he can become an official in the court is not a matter of Wei Xingzhi's word.

It's a pity that those who talked about marriage, without exception, were blocked back by the old lady who wanted to recruit a wife.

Because of Wei Xingzhi's refusal to enter, in just three days, in the circle of high-ranking officials and nobles in the imperial city, he only missed being scolded bloody.
