The Beautiful Land

"It will pass through the river!" At this moment, a group of people were slowly climbing up the mound, dozens of miles away from Xi's house.

Under the mound, there is a wasteland with weeds and weeds. This season has been withered and the autumn wind is blowing, and a golden sea wave, layered on top of each other, hugs the distance.

The headed old man had a clear face, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He stroked his short beard and said with emotion, "If the people here were not leading the way, who would have thought that this would be the site where the river used to flow? The vicissitudes of life, the vicissitudes of life! "

"Daddy, Your Majesty has made up his mind to reopen the canal." A crisp voice came from behind him, and he smiled, "I am sending you to preside over this matter in person! No matter how ruined this scene is, sooner or later. It will return to the old look. But why do you feel uncomfortable?"

The speaker is about fourteen or five years old, dressed as a posterity, but it is difficult to hide his daughter’s feelings at home. The skin is snowy, and the look is radiant. At this moment, because he accompanied the old man to climb the mound, a little sweat appeared on his forehead, and so did his cheeks. It's red, she looks very coquettish, she stepped forward and pulled her sleeves to act coquettishly, "Well, we have already seen it here, let's go to the next place as soon as possible, and finish this trip quickly. I want to respond to Tianfu looking for Jing Yuan. Sister playing!"

"Even if you restore your old appearance, it won't be the way to pass the river." The old man smiled and said, half joking and half reproaching, "What did you say when you set off for the father? You will be obedient, sure. Sensible, I will never disturb my father doing errands for your majesty, and I have to do my best to help my father... But after only walking a few places, you are bored? Yaonv, you are not talking like this, but No way!"

This young girl is obviously used to being spoiled, she didn’t care, she continued to coquettishly said: "Where did I know that this road would be so remote? It was so easy to find a similar restaurant for a meal two days ago. I met the defeated dude! The most hateful thing is that after inquiring in the past two days, outsiders said that someone who didn't have eyes had offended us! This is really funny: we are going to hide our identities this time, and the servants and guards are all with them. Now, who is so stupid that he sees our situation, and dare to neglect?! It is clear that he is trying to push the innocent guy to top the tank!"

At this point, she was still a little angry, and snorted softly, "If it weren't for Wen Xianyun's acquaintance, I really want to clean up this Wen Family!"

"You can't talk nonsense!" The old man smiled and looked at her dozingly. He frowned at the last sentence and said with a warning, "Don't forget the errand that your majesty has handed over to the father!"

Seeing her daughter looking at her puzzledly, she sighed helplessly, "You know that the dredging of the river can be done for your father, and you can summon the craftsmen to do the work? Not to mention that the river has been congested for many years, and the sea is in the middle. There are many topographical changes, and now it is necessary to repair it to the point where it can be re-navigable. What a big project! Let’s say your Majesty’s purpose for opening the North-South Canal... When we left Yingtian Mansion, what was the noise over there? Have you heard some more?"

"Although your majesty is resolute, a considerable number of courtiers in the temple, the rich and powerful households in Jiangsu and Zhejiang behind them, including those who have the edict of the Emperor Taizu to protect the body...Who is not opposed to moving the capital?" the old man said. "I can’t persuade your Majesty, how could they not do anything else? The Wen family is the leading family in Dongchang Mansion, and it is considered a big family in Shandong."

"If they are willing to support this matter, they will be able to dredge the river, and they must do more with less!"

"If they deliberately make trouble...Although the court has its own thunder means to deal with them, it will be troublesome."

He glanced at the pouting daughter, and said hesitantly, "That's not the case. For my father, I have killed those two dudes who dared to use the family to molest you with a single blow. Would you give Wen Xianyun a chance to make amends?"

The young woman said: "Those two dudes will not kill, they will definitely go out to molest others in the future! Others do not have a father to rely on as a high-powered elder like you, so you must suffer a loss! Isn't keeping it a disaster?"

He also said, "Wen Xianyun is different from them. He looked very gentle and polite. In the past two days, I heard from the people that he was also dedicated to his fiancée and family. He was also considerate and recognized as a good behavior... It’s strange that those two boys who collided with us are said to be his cousins? He came out of a family with such a big gap between people. Obviously, there are still shortcomings in the education of Wen’s family."

The old man smiled and said: "Wen Xianyun is indeed good, but the character is not necessarily...Yao Nu, you are not careful enough to inquire about the news in the past two days: you only know that the two young boys who molested you were Wen Xianyun's. My cousin didn’t know that Wen Xianyun’s father competed with the fathers of those two brothers for the position of Wen Xianyun’s Patriarch in the early years. In the end, Wen Xianyun’s father won, but it is said that it was very difficult to win at the beginning. , Always prepared for fear of being overturned by the opponent."

"After those two dudes offended us, Wen Xianyun was so obedient, it seems that as long as we can calm down, whatever conditions are possible... Are you really when he pleads so irrespective of the cost? You must know what he offered these days, but all of them are It was from the dude's parents!"

"Not only that, no matter what the dude's parents think, they have to admit that they owe Wen Xianyun a lot of favor!"

"You said there will be any disputes between the two sides in the future, how can they not be short of breath?"

After a while, the girl froze, and said, "But didn't they find it by themselves? How can they get into such a disaster if they teach their children well?"

He said, "Moreover, the two families used to have enmity, but Wen Xianyun is still willing to mediate for them. Although not selfless, it is always a matter of consideration for the overall situation."

The old man smiled: "Then let me tell you one more thing for my father: When you were in Luofengpo, you didn't complain about Wen's family a little bit, so after asking who owns the shops on the busiest street over there , Did you say about beating Wenjia? What did you do after Wen Xianyun?"

Without waiting for his daughter to inquire, he said to himself, "He made a plan to sell all the shops to his prospective father-in-law! He also bought his father-in-law to instigate Xi Zongwang to bankrupt his family and buy the shop!"

Yaonv suddenly rounded her eyes: "What?! Doesn't he like his fiancé very much?! How could he treat the Yue family like this?!"

"Like it?" the old man said disdainfully, "He has also inquired about the Xi family's daughter in marriage in the past two days: the only brother of the Xi family's daughter is the most outstanding reading seed in Dongchang Mansion in recent years. Five-year-old is a talented person, and he is almost the case leader! After hearing the news, he almost entangled this family in every possible way!"

"However, the aptitude for reading seeds is good, but Fu Zuo is not enough. Only a few days ago, he was in the rural examination and the people were gone!

"Without such a promising future brother-in-law, how could the Wen family continue to let Wen Xianyun marry the Xi family daughter?"

"It's just that they were entangled in the Xi family's agreement at the beginning, and it wasn't that the Xi family took the initiative to cling to them! If they retired because the seeds of reading were gone, even if Wen's family is in the Dongchang Mansion, the people at the bottom will inevitably have a meeting. !"

He "hehe" smiled, "I don't know if Wen Xianyun came out of this idea or the elders in his family, but it is vicious enough! This is a deliberate attempt to kill the Xi family, so you can get away calmly! "

The daughter reminded: "Father, if Wen Xianyun values ​​fame, the Xi family is in a state of bankruptcy. If he doesn't care, wouldn't the outsiders still say about him?"

The old man laughed: "Yao Nu, you are too naive! Do you think that Wen Xianyun's methods will be finished here? Look at it, none of the Xi family can survive! And Wen Xianyun, just can take advantage of it. This opportunity is to get rid of a group of people who are not pleasing to his eyes! To be honest, if this calculation is all this kid’s own thoughts, he is really a talent! If he is willing to follow as his father, he will never treat him badly. of!"

The daughter is unhappy: "I want you to guess that is true. I don't want such a person to follow you! He is not a good person!"

"Good guy?" The old man laughed blankly and said, "If you think from the standpoint of the Xi family, of course Wen Xianyun is not a thing. But if you think from the perspective of the Wen family, Wen Xianyun is not an ordinary child of the Wen family. He is the elder son! His wife will be the mistress of the Wen family in the future! In this case, he marries the daughter of an ordinary squire family, even the young and old of the Yue family. It would be good if he doesn't drag him down!"

"Do you think this is what Zongzi should do?"

"Moreover, if he retires, shouldn't he cherish the reputation of Wen Jia's business in Dongchang Mansion for many years?"

"This person is not a good son-in-law, but he is a qualified son... So what's wrong with using him for the father?"

Seeing his daughter still pouting his mouth, he shook his head dozingly, "You child! If you have said that you want to come out with your father to open your eyes, why do you not like to listen to these doorways seriously?"

"Anyway, he's not a good person!" Yaonv stretched out her hand to hold his arm and hummed, "I thought it was a good...Who knew it was a cloaked beast! To the Yue family is so cruel, what else can't you do?"

I thought of one person, "It is said that Brother Shen family will come here recently? I will tell him then, let Brother Shen family ask Na Wen Xianyun to walk in Jinyiwei, so that he knows that he is doing bad things. End!"

"Don't be fooling around!" The old man scowled, "Shen Xiaolan took a serious job to do things this time. This is what the old man meant, and even got the approval of the princess... Forget it, if he bothers him, he doesn't care about you, their grandfather and the prince will all be offended!"

Then he said, "Of course, if you are sensible and obedient, and feel bored with being your father, it's okay to go and play with him...Anyway, our two families are family friends, and you are also childhood sweethearts. You are used to small things, not so particular!"

He said frankly, but Yaonv clearly felt the meaning of the matchmaking, and she couldn't help blushing, and forcibly changed the topic: "I don't know what Wen Xianyun's Yue family is like now? Poor Miss Xi Jia, only I'm afraid I don't know until I die, what kind of person is my fiance who is well-known?"

"If that nobleman really has something to do with the imperial court to dredge the river, then my Xi family will become more and more dangerous!" Without knowing that in Xi's mansion at this moment, Xi Fuwei was whispering to Xi Lian, "Cong Wen After my brother was a talented talent, I was stalked and hired to see me. They are now very much planning to have a relationship with the eunuch. To my brother, a talented talent can put down his body like this, let alone a noble person from Ying Tianlai? Suspect, Wen Xianyun has already caught up with this nobleman, and even has the ambition to marry Ying Tian. In this case, he not only has to eradicate me, but also must clean up to prevent him from turning around and marrying Gao Mengui. Female!"

After all, although Wen's family is second to none in Dongchang Mansion, it is far behind Yingtian's nobles.

High-ranking people are not fools, and it is not uncommon for them to marry their daughters low, but the son-in-law’s talents and conduct must be carefully investigated to avoid encountering white-eyed wolves.

If Wen Xianyun really thought of taking shortcuts because of contact with the nobles of Ying Tianlai...Xi Fuwei, and the Xi family, it would be a stumbling block in front of him that he needed to move away!

This means that the current degree of danger for Xi's family, and the wind and rain that may come, are more severe than previously expected!

Xi Fuwei bit her lip, thinking quickly about countermeasures.
