After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 308 Taolin
It was getting late, Yun Zhuo and Xie Jie also settled down in the inn in Yingcheng.

"Girl, calculate the time. Mr. Zhou has already left, but I don't know when he will arrive?"

Yun Zhuo sat in front of the Linghua bronze mirror, while removing the hairpin from his temples, while listening to Qiu Xing.

She bent her lips and said, "As long as you can come, what does it matter sooner or later?"

A few days ago, she wrote to ask Mr. Zhou to meet them in Linyao, just to check the situation of the Linyao dam with him, so as long as he can come, sooner or later is fine.After all, it's not good for her to directly mention such a matter to Xie Jie. It's better to wait for her and Mr. Zhou to find out what happened before trying to talk to him about it.
Qiu Xing nodded half-understanding, and said, "Flying Pigeon sent me a letter just now."

As she said that, she turned around to fetch the letter paper and presented it to Yun Zhuo.

Yun Zhuo unwrapped the red string, unfolded the rolled note, opened it and read it, and then put it in the candlestick beside it. A dim candle was burning in the candlestick. As soon as the note fell, the tongue of flame licked it, and the candlelight suddenly It became brighter, and after a while, the note was reduced to ashes, the candlelight also dimmed, and became dim again.

Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood, Qiu Xing asked softly, "Young lady seems to be very happy. Is there any good news from Kyoto?"

Yun Zhuo smiled and said, "A...unexpected joy."

Before she left Beijing, she specially sent the people from Zhuangzi to the Zongfu and Ningfu as errands. She didn't expect much at first. The person who Cheng wanted to send over was clever, and even found out some useful news.

Before the Zongfu Poetry Club, she thought that the relationship between Zong Yuexi and Ning Xueyao was good. She had never met Zong Yuexi in her previous life, but only occasionally heard of this person's tricks, but Ning Xueyao was different. It couldn't be more familiar.

Before leaving Beijing, she was still thinking that these two people would really be in a mess when they got together, a nest of snakes and rats, and it was impossible to say what bad things they would do.But I didn't expect it to be so fast. Before the two of them could do anything bad, there was a wave of rebellion first.

Qiu Xing didn't ask what the surprise was, but said obediently: "It's just a happy event."

"By the way, why didn't I see Xie Jue when Xie Jie and I came back?" Yun Zhuo suddenly remembered this and asked.

Not only Xie Jue, but Wenfeng around him was also missing.

Qiu Xing's eyes flickered slightly, she lowered her head and said, "I don't know, but the eldest son is famous, maybe he went to drink flower wine."

Xie Jue, who was digging a grave in night clothes:? ? ?
He sneezed, and immediately stopped and looked at him after hearing the wind: "My lord, are you cold?"

Xie Jue rubbed the tip of his nose with the back of his hand, shook his head and said, "No, I don't know who is speaking ill of me behind my back. Keep digging."

Wenfeng nodded: "Oh."

Thinking of Lan Rui, Yun Zhuo didn't doubt Qiu Xing's words, and didn't ask any more questions. He just got up and changed his clothes, and asked Qiu Xing to blow on the lamp to go out, while he took off his shoes and socks and lay down.

Qiu Xing blew on the lamp obediently, then turned around and went out to Xie Jie's room.

Seeing her coming, Xie Jie asked, "Did she fall asleep?"

It is self-evident who this "she" refers to, Qiu Xing nodded, and said: "I just fell asleep. The eldest son has already gone to Taolin, master, shall we leave now?"

Xie Jie glanced at the dark night outside the window, and said: "Let's go. Wen Lu, you stay and take care of Yun Zhuo. When she asks, you know what to say."

Wen Lu clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate understands."

Taolin was ten miles east of Yingcheng, Xie Jie took Qiu Xing out of the city overnight, after a few jumps, he found Xie Jue who was pinching his nose.

Xie Jue felt so wronged that when he saw Xie Jie approaching, he dropped the shovel in his hand, hugged Xie Jie's thigh and cried, "Xie Jie, you are not human! It's dark and windy at night, you put him on the ground. I'm so scared to trick you into digging a grave!"

He really couldn't figure it out, he just made a bet with Xie Jie in the afternoon, how could he end up digging graves in the middle of the night?What made him even more miserable was that he dug for most of the night, and he didn't even know what Xie Jie wanted him to dig!
Thinking of this, he felt even more sad, and pulled Xie Jie's trouser legs and howled twice: "Even if you don't care about the relationship we grew up with, and that we are cousins, you still don't care. You should be a little bit human! Look at you, then look at me! We are all the same person, especially me, who can go out and say that I am suave and handsome, and now I am enslaved by you to dig graves, but you Fortunately, you are still dressed like a human being, has your conscience been eaten by a dog!"

Xie Jie took two steps back in disgust, and threatened him with a smirk: "If you say one more word, I will write to third uncle tomorrow and tell him that you are trying to escape the arrangement of third aunt You have to stay by my side, if Third Uncle really wants you to go back, I can immediately tie you up and send you back to Chenjun."

Xie Jue didn't expect him to be like this, he was so cruel, he hiccupped in grief and anger, turned around and continued digging the grave with humiliation.

Wen Feng was still watching the good show from the sidelines. After all, he has been with his master for so many years, not to mention going through life and death, and endured his convulsions from time to time. It is not an exaggeration to describe his career as a guard with the phrase "dire water and fire", but recently Ever since they got together with the third son, the man who was in dire straits became the master of his family, which is really amazing.

It's just that he didn't look at it for a long time before he felt the death stare cast from the front, and immediately smiled and continued to dig with his master who endured the humiliation.

The two dug together for a long time, when Xie Jue went down with the shovel, what he finally heard was no longer the sound of the shovel sinking into the soil, but a dull, crisp sound of collision between hard objects.The sound was buried under the soil, so it didn't seem very real, but it was enough to make Xie Jue happy.

He even had a feeling of relief in his heart that "you can see the moon when the clouds bloom, and the daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years".

He threw down the shovel and jumped to Xie Jie: "Have you heard that? You have dug it! You have dug it! Now you can always tell us what treasure is hidden here! Look, everyone is yourself." Isn't it human? I didn't expect to share a share with you, it was just pure curiosity."

Xie Jie raised his eyebrows: "Want to know?"

"Uh-huh!"

He dug a shovel down, and as soon as he shoveled up, the soil was shoveled aside.

Xie Jue brought up the lamp, and saw a piece of black exposed, like wood.
