Chapter 14 Trust
The visitor took two steps forward and stood directly under the shadow of the lamp.

Wei Ji had already changed into his homely round-neck gown. He was wearing a jade crown, with sword eyebrows and star eyes. Under the gentle light and shadow, there was a kind of detached beauty.

He seems to be in a good mood today, with smiles on his brows.

"Why did Madam come back at this time? It's freezing cold, I made my husband wait for a long time."

Xie Zhiyun raised her eyebrows lightly, she hooked her lips and smiled slightly: "My little father-in-law never waits for me, he is courteous for nothing, he is either rape or stealing, I don't know why my little father-in-law is?"

"Madam is always good at joking."

Wei Ji took two steps forward and came directly in front of Xie Zhiyun.

His tall body seemed to be able to cover the sky and the sun, blocking the chilly wind in the evening.

Xie Zhiyun raised his head slightly, staring straight at his handsome face.

No wonder he was so decisive in killing, his hands were stained with blood, and the unmarried women in the whole Yezhou City also fell in love with him and wanted to marry him as their wives.

Wei Ji also lowered his eyes to look at her, their eyes sparkled in the light, Wei Ji smiled softly, reached out and brushed past her ear, and helped her put on the hood.

"It's cold, madam, be careful not to catch a cold."

After finishing speaking, Wei Ji lightly supported her waist, and led her to another path.

"Father wants to see you."

Xie Zhijun's footsteps paused slightly, and her slender waist couldn't help bumping into Wei Ji's big hand. Even through the thin cloak, she could feel the heat of Wei Ji's palm.

"Why is father looking for me?"

Wei Ji pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "Mother suddenly caught wind and cold today, and there is no chaos in the mansion for the time being, but it will be hard to say in a few days."

"You are the eldest daughter-in-law, why do you think father is looking for you?"

Xie Zhiyun took a deep breath and said, "Mother just said this."

Her tone was light, neither sad nor happy, and she couldn't hear any emotions.

But she still stood in the distance, did not move half a step, Wei Ji turned sideways, and looked at her face again.

The setting sun melted gold, like a rich and colorful picture scroll, falling on Xie Zhiyun's exquisite eyebrows and eyes.

She was raised by the Xie clan as a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold. She walks, sits, and sleeps gracefully. At any time outside the Chunhua Court, she is an elegant young lady with bright eyes and a smile.

It is the same at this moment.

Wei Ji looked at the corners of her slightly raised lips, his throat was a little hoarse, but he still asked, "Madam, do you mean yes or no?"

Xie Zhiyun raised his eyes and glanced at him, then turned and left.

"Listen to what your father said first."

Wei Ji looked at her back, gave a low laugh, and raised his heels to move slowly behind her.

When they arrived at Rongjing Hall, the two of them were directly invited to the study on the second floor by Zhao attendant.

There were two young attendants standing outside the door of the study. Xie Zhiyun took a look and knew that they were from the army.

Waiting until Zhao's attendant entered the study to report, he came out to invite the two of them in.

This is the second time that Xie Zhiyun accompanied Wei Ji to Wei Cang's study.

There are three rooms in Wei Cang's study, inside and outside, and the study and library inside are blocked by grilles, making it difficult to see clearly.

Wei Cang always summoned outsiders in the tea room outside.

As soon as Xie Zhiyun and Wei Ji entered the study room, they saw Wei Cang sitting at the tea table, making tea in a ceramic stove.

Like Wei Ji, he doesn't know arty, nor does he know how to taste tea and talk about Taoism. He just pours boiling hot water directly into the teapot, and waits for a while to eat.

Xie Zhiyun pretended not to notice, she saluted with Wei Ji, and then sat by the side and waited for him to make tea.

Wei Cang didn't look at her, but asked Wei Ji: "Have you eaten?"

Wei Ji shook his head and said: "I just came back, but I haven't used my dinner, and Zhiyun should have never used it either."

Xie Zhiyun immediately whispered: "Father, my daughter-in-law has just returned from Juanyizhai. Cousin Ru has already taken medicine, and her illness is incurable, and she needs to take care of her."

Wei Cang nodded and said, "You're bothering."

Xie Zhiyun didn't know what to say.

Wei Cang is forthright and forthright, he is a famous hero in North Vietnam and even in the whole Central Plains, he has been in the army since he was a child, and he has been in the army for twenty years now.

Unlike the young and energetic Wei Ji, Xie Zhijun never felt a strong smell of blood from him, but this does not mean that he is old and has no desire to kill.

On the contrary, Wei Cang like this makes people feel extremely scary.

When the exhaled aura is restrained, all that remains is the determination without flinching.

In front of Wei Cang, Xie Zhiyun never talked nonsense, and was very respectful, but Wei Ji was not afraid of him at all, and laughed after sitting down.

Wei Cang glared at his son: "What are you joking about?"

Wei Ji took the teapot in his hand and said with a smile, "It's rare to see father making tea by himself, isn't it Uncle Zhao's job?"

Wei gave him a pale look, and pouted at Xie Zhijun, asking him to save himself some face in front of his daughter-in-law.

Wei Ji laughed muffled.

"Let me make tea, Father," Wei Ji changed his address in a familiar way, "If you have anything to say, just talk to Zhiyun directly."

Hearing these words, Xie Zhiyun raised his eyes carefully, and saw the father and son winking there. They seemed to be very harmonious on weekdays, and there was nothing strange about them.

She was a little envious in her heart.

However, she never expressed her envy, and only followed Wei Ji's words: "Father, please speak, and my daughter-in-law is listening."

Seeing her obedient and pure appearance, Wei Ji thought it was funny, but he stretched out the teapot in front of her and poured her a bowl of green tea.

This is just the most common tea, but Xie Zhijun tasted a little sweet and elegant.

Wei Cang secretly watched the actions of his son and daughter-in-law for a while, feeling very relieved in his heart, and tried to express some kindness on his face.

"Boss, daughter-in-law, you also know that your mother has been ill recently. She has a chronic illness, and her body will be weaker in winter. Now our government has a lot of work, and she can't be burdened. This task can only fall on you. "

Xie Zhiyun's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, but she didn't agree immediately, but said in a low voice: "Father, there are so many elders in the family, and my daughter-in-law speaks lightly, so I really dare not take on this important task."

Wei Cang married four women in his life.

Wei Ji's mother was his first wife. At that time, he was just a poor soldier, and Wei Ji's mother was just an ordinary village woman, but the young couple was harmonious and beautiful, and they had Wei Ji within half a year of their marriage.

But the sky is not beautiful, and good things are hard to come by. Liu's childbirth was difficult when Wei Ji was born, and finally gave birth to him after tossing half his life.

It is also pitiful that he collapsed and died shortly after giving birth.

At that time, there was a young widow in their family who had been rescued by the Liu family. She was young at that time, and before the death of the Liu family, she felt sorry for her son, so Wei Cang took the widow as a concubine to take care of her son when he grew up.

Before Wei Ji was three years old, Wei Cang began to live and die with Yezhou Mu Chen Qing. He entrusted his young sister, concubine and son to the Yezhou Mufu so that they would have enough to eat.

Three years later, Wei Cang became famous and became one of Chen Qing's fierce generals. He saved Chen Qing's life, and he was unparalleled in bravery and courage, which won Chen Qing's trust.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to marry the offspring of the Cui family, a concubine, and became his successor.

Later, he passed by Jingzhou during the war, and by chance, he rescued a geisha, who is now the second wife, Mrs. Lu.

Therefore, in the Duke's mansion at this time, including the concubine Mrs. Zhang, there are three wives in total.

However, Mrs. Zhang eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha all day long, even Wei Ningshu, who she gave birth to, doesn't care at all, and the second wife, Mrs. Lu, comes from such a background, and she has never taken care of the house since she started.

Although she didn't take care of it, she was also an elder.

Xie Zhiyun, as a daughter-in-law, cannot surpass the elders' housekeeper, even if she is willing to take care of it, she can manage it well, but she has to get the consent of the whole family.

She never does thankless business.

Wei Ji understood as soon as he heard this, he glanced at her with a mocking smile on his face.

This time it was Xie Zhiyun who secretly glared at him.

Wei Cang didn't care, he waved his hand and said: "Wei Rong's mother doesn't understand this, she can't be a family, eldest daughter-in-law, look at these people in the family, you and your mother are the only ones."

Xie Zhiyun: "..."

What she said was too disrespectful to the second wife, Yu Hanzhao and Ji Xiuxiu.

But what Wei Cang said was right.

Xie Zhiyun lowered his eyes, his slender neck outlined a perfect arc, and he felt a little secretly happy.

Naturally, Wei Cang couldn't see the pride in her heart, so he continued: "Family affairs are nothing more than trivial matters, you can take care of them as you like, but you need to worry more about outside affairs."

Xie Zhiyun subconsciously looked at Wei Ji, and seeing him nodding at him, he asked hesitantly, "Father, is this about helping the refugees?"

The father and son looked at each other, and Wei Cang laughed out loud in relief.

"Boss, my father chose the best wife in the world for you. You have to thank me."

Wei Ji became reserved.

"Zhiyun is not bad, not as good as my father praised."

Xie Zhijun kicked him from under the table, and smiled dignifiedly at Wei Cang: "Father has given too much credit, since father thinks that the daughter-in-law can take on this important responsibility, then the daughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion can try to take care of it. After all, there are still mother-in-law and aunt at home. I am also willing to teach my daughter-in-law, if the daughter-in-law does not understand, she can ask the two elders."

"But my daughter-in-law doesn't have much experience with Yongfeng warehouse."

But Wei Cang waved his hand: "Look, you can't learn it, and besides, there is still a boss here."

Wei Cangpu patted Wei Ji's shoulder with his big hand, Xie Zhiyun only heard a puff sound, but Wei Ji straightened his back and remained motionless.

"The two of you will be responsible for resettling refugees and providing food, etc." Wei Cang made a final decision, "Boss, daughter-in-law, I believe in you as a father, and you will be able to handle the errands well. You are both excellent."

Xie Zhijun didn't even have time to refuse this ecstasy soup, so Wei Cang was kicked out of the study together with Wei Ji on the grounds that he had to go back for dinner quickly.

After the two of them walked in the cold wind for a while, Xie Zhiyun asked Wei Ji in bewilderment: "Why did you agree so easily? It's a foreign matter. What if it can't be done well?"

Wei Ji walked side by side with him, his steps were neither slow nor slow, he was wearing a plain black cloak, like a towering tree in the dark night, it could shield people from the wind and rain.

Hearing Xie Zhiyun's question, Wei Ji turned his head and fixedly looked at her.

The lights were brilliant, lighting up his deep star pupils.

Xie Zhiyun could only hear his deep voice tinged with a smile.

"Madam is so smart," Wei Ji paused every word, "I'm sure she can do it."
