After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Today is the Qixi Festival, and the colorful buildings in Shangjing are bustling with crowds, and the stalls along the street are full of exquisite grinding and drinking.

When the carriage drove to the northern outskirts of the city, the hustle and bustle dissipated and the sight was deserted. As far as the eye could see, there were continuous camps among the mountains and rivers, all of which were camps for refugees to live in temporarily.

Wei Feishan picked a flat place by the river, and personally led the servants and maids to set up a temporary porridge shop.

When the stalls of the porridge shop were erected, the vegetable porridge and steamed buns were ready.

Wei Feishan wrapped her head in a small floral square scarf, rolled up her sleeves with loops, wiped a little dust on her white and tender cheeks, her round almond eyes were shining, and she greeted the refugees lively and enthusiastically to come and get food.

Wei Huanjin was helping at the side, and the brother and sister had a perfect understanding.

Wei Feifan liked to show off, and Wei Zi didn't bother to compete with her, so he just sat quietly in the shed behind the stall and took care of the ingredients.

Qingju was indignant: "The eldest lady is too biased, she thinks about the second lady for everything good. You are too, girl, you should go to the front and fight for it! You are so good-looking, you will stand in the middle of the porridge shop, everyone will affirm it They will only notice you!"

Wei Zi smiled lightly: "There's nothing to argue about. It's clean here, and I like it here."

Qingju curled her lips, still somewhat unwilling.

Wei Zi said: "I remember you made a sympathetic knot? Idle is idle, if the man you like is by the river, then go and give it to him."

Lifting the concentric knot, Qingju's cheeks flushed slightly.

She lowered her eyes, dawdled for a while, and said in a low voice: "Then, that servant has gone?"

Wei Zi nodded: "Go."

She watched Qingju stepping out of the bamboo shed shyly and eagerly, she couldn't help smiling.

Qingju's favorite man...is probably Nan Zhu?
Xiao Fengxian participated in the project of building the embankment by the river, and Nanzhu should also accompany him.

After Qingju left, she had nothing to do and looked around, from here she could see the mighty river rushing towards the east, and the newly built dam was like a keel guarding one side, quietly guarding the dace river.

The dam seems to be nearing completion.

Wei Zi frowned lightly.

I don't know if the dams in this life will collapse like in the previous life, on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival...

She is not an official of the imperial court, and she has no evidence in hand, so she cannot ask the emperor to ask the emperor to check the quality of the dam...

She was worrying when suddenly someone opened the felt curtain and came in.

"This is the back kitchen—"

She was about to remind the man, but when she looked up, she saw that the man was wearing an indigo official robe with a round collar and a black leather belt two fingers wide around his waist. The ponytail was disheveled and frizzy on the shoulders, Ye Yan's face was haggard and thin, and the fox eyes that were hooked inside and turned out were darker and deeper than a few months ago, it was Xiao Fengxian impressively.

He took off his black leather gloves, rummaged through the drawer expressionlessly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is there anything to eat?"

"There...some..."

Wei Zi paused, then got up to bring him something to eat.

A bowl of porridge with two steamed buns, the young man gobbled it up and ate it all in the blink of an eye.

Wei Zi added another bowl of porridge for him: "Why are you so hungry?"

"I went to Jiangbei with the prince."

After Xiao Fengxian finished drinking the vegetable porridge, he still couldn't get enough of it, suddenly wrinkled the tip of his nose, smelled it and looked around, and saw a delicate carved red sandalwood box in the corner.

He opened the box conveniently and raised his eyebrows: "Crab cakes and red bean cakes? Sister-in-law, when did you become so stingy, you don't give me good things."

"This is--"

Before Wei Zi could stop it, Xiao Fengxian had already started eating.

This is something from Wei Feifan...

Wei Zi pursed her lips, it wasn't her pastries anyway, so why did she care so much.

She swallowed her unfinished words and asked, "What are you going to do in Jiangbei?"

Xiao Fengxian said casually, "What else can I do, check the embankment."

Wei Zi's eyes lit up.

That's right, such a major project will definitely be carefully inspected before it is completed.

She asked expectantly: "But what did you find out?"

Xiao Fengxian glanced at her: "The official of the Ministry of Industry who was in charge of the inspection reported that the quality of the dam passed the standard and everything is normal. It is expected that within a hundred years, there will be no more floods in the dace river."

"The quality is passed, everything is normal?" Wei Zi was dubious.

"Sister-in-law doesn't believe me, don't you believe His Highness the Crown Prince?" Xiao Fengxian sneered, "You are a weak girl, you just need to eat and drink well, why bother? Could it be that because Li Jinglin is a corrupt official, the dams that passed through his hands are just fine?" There will definitely be problems? There is no such reason in the world."

Wei Zi held the round fan.

Although she trusts His Highness the Prince, all the past lives still hang over her heart like a cloud of cloud.

She looked at the sky outside the canopy, the sky was gloomy, and the surrounding fields were full of wind.

Xiao Fengxian threw away the empty saving box, wiped her mouth casually with her sleeve: "Sister-in-law, I'm not full yet."

Wei Zi had no choice but to get him steamed buns.

Unexpectedly, something fell out of his sleeve.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Xiao Fengxian stretched out his hand to snatch it: "Concentric Knot?"

The palindromic concentric knot woven with apricot yellow silk thread is exquisite and beautiful, which shows that the host has put a lot of thought into it.

"give me back!"

Wei Zi was in a hurry, and quickly reached out to grab it.

Xiao Fengxian refused to return it to her, and held it high: "Who is it for?"

"You don't care who I give it to!"

"Is it for Zhou Xianji?" Xiao Fengxian sneered, "My sister-in-law is the eldest lady of Zhen Guogong's mansion, but she gave a token of love to a man in private, doing such a thing as giving and receiving privately!"

Wei Zi laughed angrily: "Teaching and accepting privately? Second brother, everyone is qualified to say such things, but you are not. Can you forget what you did to me in private?"

"I'm used to being shameless, why don't you care about me?" Xiao Fengxian pulled her thin lips as a matter of course, while playing with the concentric knot while looking at Wei Zi, "I've been busy with the dam project recently, so I don't have time to take care of the affairs of the capital. That father of your country And that good grandmother, is she trying to match you and Zhou Xianji again?"

When the voice fell, someone hurried in: "Xiao Zi, are the steamed buns cooked?"

Wei Huanjin opened the felt curtain and was stunned when he saw the two people who were confronting each other.

He stared at Xiao Fengxian for a moment, remembering the identity of this person, quickly put Wei Zi behind him, and scolded: "My sister has nothing to do with your family, why are you looking for her? Why don't you get out of here?! You Xiao family people, there is no good thing!"

"Brother..." Wei Zi tugged at his sleeve lightly, "In those years he regarded me as his elder sister-in-law, and I always regarded him as my younger brother. He treated me with great respect."

Only then did Wei Huanjin ease his expression, and nodded towards Xiao Fengxian: "I was the one who was abrupt."

Xiao Fengxian smiled, stared at Wei Zi, and said meaningfully: "I really treat my sister-in-law with 'respect and respect', and in the future, I will be more 'respect'."

He looked serious, but the fox's eyes were full of sarcasm.

Wei Zi lowered her eyelashes, silently raised her round fan to cover half of her face.
