The snow was falling, the streets and alleys of Lin'an Mansion were covered with snow, and everything in the city was white. While Shen Yanhan was waiting for him in the wind and snow, Qin Yuehuai led people in the Yuan Zhang Prime Minister's Mansion to count the items, sweep them and put them away. The Zhang Mansion was almost turned upside down.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was close to the palace, and ministers could see the movement coming and going. He ordered people to open the door of the mansion wide, and acted openly and openly. Soon, the original Prime Minister's Mansion was occupied by the Lin'an Mansion Office. The news spread to Ouchi.

As soon as Zhao Yuankang returned to the palace, he was summoned by Zhao You again.

Zhao Yuankang couldn't help but feel anxious. The position of governor of Lin'an Prefecture was not as easy as expected. When he first came into power, he encountered troubles caused by refugees. In recent days, he had been called to the imperial court more times than he had in the previous year.I don’t know if today’s call is still for the refugees.

Zhao You rolled a pill into his mouth and stared at Zhao Yuankang with an unpredictable expression: "Did you come up with the idea for Lin'an Prefecture to use Zhang's Prefecture?"

This was just a little more effort. He didn't expect this to happen to him. Zhao Yuankang couldn't guess whether Qi Yan secretly reported it behind his back. After all, he was sent directly to the government office by Zhao You, let alone Zhao Yuankang. You were either happy or angry about this. After some thought, he chose to answer truthfully: "No, it was Qi Shaofu Yin's idea."

Zhao You narrowed his eyes and murmured: "It was actually his idea."

Zhao Yuankang glanced at Zhao You's expression secretly. He just raised his eyes and before he could see the reason, Zhao You asked him coldly: "Besides Zhang Mansion, does he have any other ideas?"

Zhao Yuankang immediately lowered his eyes and said yes, and quickly reported Qi Yan's proposal to build three "gardens" one by one.

In Zhao Yuankang's heart, he would never go wrong if everything goes according to Zhao You. For example, although he had the title of Fu Yin on his shoulders before, Zhao Yuanyong did not go to Yangzhou to take up a post, and he was wise enough not to interfere too much in the affairs of the Lin'an Prefecture. He was cautious and unassuming because Zhao You, who was thoughtful and distrustful of anyone, finally handed over the power to him for the sake of his son being obedient.

But he only saw the surface of Zhao You.

It is true that Zhao You didn't trust anyone and was used to others being submissive and obedient, but to be able to disregard the life and death of his father and brother at a critical moment and take the initiative to seize the throne to himself shows that he is a ruthless and resolute character at heart.

Such a person needs the obedience of his ministers, but when it comes to selecting his own successor to the throne, what is taboo in his heart is that the successor is weak and can be bullied, so that there is a risk of losing the throne to others.

With this kind of thinking, Zhao Yuankang's careful approach to everything was what worried him. Especially, he had recently learned that Zhao Yuankang had made some friends with Qin Xiangfu who ignored his majesty as an emperor and had gained autocratic power. He was already dissatisfied with his adopted heir and could not suppress it even if he wanted to.

Now I listened to Zhao Yuankang talk about the internal affairs of Lin'an Prefecture, and I heard that almost all the decisions were made by Qi Yan. Let's not mention what Zhao You thought of Qin Yuehuai. In short, the more I looked at Zhao Yuankang, the more stupid he felt. Cowardly.

Zhao You's eyes became colder and colder. Zhao Yuankang was unaware of this because he lowered his eyes and continued to talk: "...As for Yuze Garden, Qi Shaofu Yin said that there is a wasteland south of Baoshi Mountain, which originally belonged to Zhang. My husband..."

The words "Mr. Zhang" came to his ears. They were so familiar after such a long absence. Zhao You thought for a moment and interrupted Zhao Yuankang in a low voice: "Who are you talking about?"

Zhao Yuankang thought he didn't hear clearly, so he repeated: "It belongs to Mr. Zhang..."

As he spoke, he suddenly realized his mistake and hurriedly changed his words: "Original Prime Minister."

However, Zhao You no longer had the intention to listen to Zhao Yuankang's ramblings. The medicine he took was to arouse emotions. The three words "Zhang Xianggong" were like threads, stringing together his memories of the past.

Thinking back to the beginning, in the third year of Yongxing, before his position was firmly established, two Forbidden Army generals launched a mutiny and vowed to depose him. It was Zhang Jun who organized Han Shizhong and others to defeat the rebels, and he was restored to power. It was that time that he finally understood who the sincere person was.

In the seventh year of Yongxing, the Jin army went south to attack Chuzhou with overwhelming force. If they continue to be rampant, the Jiangnan region and even Lin'an Prefecture will soon be threatened, with disastrous consequences. It was also Zhang Jun's proposal to go to the northwest to raise troops to resist, and to attack the east and the west. , the main force of the Jin Army was transferred there. Later, the Jin Army was really drawn, and the dilemma in Jiangnan was solved.

Zhang Jun was also impeached and slandered by many people because of his defeat in Fuping in the northwest. He once asked him, half truthfully and half falsely: "Qing Zhang has lost his good reputation. Do you regret it?"

Zhang Jun said in a deep and powerful voice: "As long as the great Zhou Dynasty has no worries and the officials are at ease, let alone reputation, it means death, so why fear?"

Zhang Jun said nothing else, but he had no doubts about his loyalty.

As for "loyalty", he couldn't help but think of another person at this moment - the one with the four words "loyalty to serve the country" tattooed on his back. He was given a gold thread war robe, a gold-belted sword, and the words "loyalty to Yue Fei" embroidered on his back for pacifying Jizhou and Qianzhou. "The general of the battle flag.

Under the influence of the drug, many emotions that would not arise so easily in normal times came one after another. When he realized that his old friends around him had left one after another, Zhao You's heart couldn't stop rising and falling, and his sadness was overwhelming and uncontrollable.

Zhao Yuankang was still chattering, but Zhao You couldn't bear to wave his hand: "Back off."

Zhao Yuankang paused for a moment, then looked up, and saw that Zhao You's face was extremely pale, his eye frames were red, and there was pain in his eyes that he had never seen before. He said yes and quickly exited the Liangyi Palace.

After Zhao Yuankang left, Zhao You looked up at the throne and could not calm down for a long time.

Looking down, there is another new book by Yu Yunwen about Qin Hui and Wang Qiong.

A bloody person like Yu Yunwen dared to curse people in public in the morning during the peace talks, not to mention that he wrote this note when no one was stopping him. He cursed without any scruples——

"Stupid thing! Secretly aiding mountain bandits, what kind of evil and evil things did those bandits do? Killing and cannibalizing, there is no humanity! They are worse than pigs and dogs!"

"Shameless! I killed General Yue because of the Jin man's power and slander, but now I have completely removed myself from the annals of history and pushed all the blame away. I am such a shameless person in the whole family!"

"..."

Zhao You stared at the curse words again and again. After a long while, he called a servant in and ordered: "Go and see if there are any discounts from Yongzhou."

There are indeed many treasures in Yongzhou, and they are numerous, but they were deliberately hidden by thoughtful people and never sent to Zhao You, lest he would think of certain people again.

Meng Changqing woke up only when this matter was reported from Ouchi to Meng Changqing.

Meng Silang lazily stood up and lifted up the bed curtains. He was wearing loose clothes. This gentleman, carefully raised by a high-ranking aristocrat, was dressed in a noble suit. His skin was as jade-like, and the teeth marks on his shoulders were particularly clear.

The person who reported it was Meng Jibai's confidant who had been with him for many years. When he saw his appearance, he immediately glanced away.

After Meng Changqing finished listening, he pulled his lower lip.

It must have seemed to outsiders that Zhang Jun's distant relative, Yin, the Young Master of Lin'an Prefecture, was on duty on the first day, and those Yongzhou Zhezi that had fallen into piles of ashes came to light again. It was so easy, and he was the only one who was captured by Qin Yuehuai. The arrangements were clearly made, and those who had been working day and night for several days knew how much energy and details they had put in to make Zhao You miss Zhang Jun today.

Barefoot on the ground, Meng Silang drank a cup of tea. Suddenly something occurred to him, he stood up and asked: "You just said, what kind of garden is he planning to build in Zhang Mansion?"

The visitor replied: "Build a 'Ji'an Garden' and a 'Yangju Garden', one to treat people and the other to house the refugees."

"Treating a doctor?" Meng Changqing's eyes suddenly lit up, he put on his clothes hastily, and rushed to Zhang's Mansion as quickly as possible.

Before dawn, Qin Yuehuai had been busy for nearly a whole night. He had just finished roughly planning the Zhang Mansion when he saw Meng Changqing looking for him in a hurry.

Meng Changqing greeted him with a smile and held his wrist intimately: "I want to ask you something."

Qin Qilang glanced at him casually, pulled up his sleeves and walked away, thinking about the speed of his carriage: "Send me back first."

Meng Changqing knew this man's way of doing things very well. When he started doing things, let alone day and night, there was nothing special even if he stayed awake in Qin Yuehuai. He said unexpectedly: "It's almost dawn, why don't you go back to the government office for duty?" , go back to sleep?"

Qin Yuehuai's eyes softened, and he looked at him and said, "Someone is still waiting for me."

Meng Changqing paused and almost asked who, but when he saw Qin Yuehuai's show off expression, he choked up and felt annoyed that he knew him too well.

Are they living together so soon?

Meng Changqing was so jealous of Qin Qilang that he thought the same thing would happen to him. He only dared to talk loudly in front of his parents, let alone living together. Even if he went to the medicine hall to guard her, she wouldn't even look at her twice. , she was busy with the refugees, as if they were the most important people to her.

Jealousy made people change their faces, Meng Changqing had a dark face and said nothing.

Qin Yuehuai would never expose his shortcomings and reveal that Shen Yanhan had just broken up with him yesterday. When Meng Changqing shut up, he silently lifted his robe and got into the car, lay down on the couch and then asked him: "What's the matter?" ?”

Meng Changqing's carriage was similar to his personality. It was a gorgeous carriage, and the small carriage contained a wide, soft couch and a small table for drinking tea. Qin Yuehuai lay down like this and no space was left. , Meng Changqing could only sit on a low stool opposite the coffee table.

Meng Changqing glared at him angrily and said, "You want to build a garden and treat patients, but have you thought of where to get a doctor?"

Qin Yuehuai still didn't open his eyes and asked him knowingly: "Do you have someone to choose?"

Meng Changqing: "Yes. I'll get you some imperial doctors."

No matter how this sounds, it sounds like he is helping him allocate staff, rather than asking for anything from him. Qin Yuehuai said deliberately: "How many imperial doctors? That's no need. My 'Ji'an Garden' is for treating poor people who have no money. No need." If we mobilize all the troops and trouble the imperial doctor, I will just find a few private doctors in Lin'an Prefecture to consult."

Meng Changqing used a folding fan to hit Qin Yuehuai's leg hard: "What are you pretending to be like with me? What kind of garden are you building with all your troops? How can you be influential by hiring a few unknown private doctors? It will show the favor of the court. ?”

Qin Yuehuai: "I did not set up 'Ji'an Garden' for the sake of the court's face."

Meng Changqing was choked by him and praised him sourly: "Chengchengcheng, Qi Shaofu Yin is selfless, Bodhisattva-hearted, devoted to the people, has no regrets, dedicated his whole life..." It's just that he has experienced hunger, cold, and homelessness, and he has done his best. It was just to give hope to people who had the same experience. He didn't expect to be supported by anyone. Qin Yuehuai interrupted him: "Speak directly if you have something to say, and don't talk nonsense."

Meng Changqing cleared his throat and finally came to the actual purpose: "You arrange a female doctor in 'Ji'an Garden'."

Qin Yuehuai would not be able to guess who this female doctor is.Meng Changqing not only wanted Cai Xizhu to follow her own way of life, but also worried that the Meng family would stop them because of her low status, so it would be of great benefit to give Cai Xizhu a decent status.

However, the current world situation is such that compared to men, women have fewer opportunities to receive education. Men can do academic work and take imperial examinations, but women cannot.In addition to marrying and taking her husband as her top priority, if a woman wants to be independent, she can only do some work that is not looked down upon in society, such as business, handicrafts, farming, etc.

There are very few women who are doctors.

Meng Changqing approached Qin Yuehuai because he knew Qin Yuehuai's character.

As he expected, Qin Yuehuai did not reject Cai Xizhu because she was a woman. He only told the truth: "She has not yet graduated and is not qualified to hold a position that affects other people's lives."

Meng Changqing: "She can first seek medical advice from the Imperial Palace, and then seek medical advice after she becomes a teacher."

Qin Yuehuai: "She may not be willing to go to my place. Have you asked her what she thinks?"

Meng Changqing's forehead and heart skipped a beat.

Because of Cai Yu's murder of the Qin family, Cai Xizhu saw Qin Yuehuai like a mouse in a cat, wishing to hide in the corners of the house that Qin Yuehuai could never see.If she goes to Ji'an Garden and Shen Yanhan doesn't accompany her to mediate with her, she has to meet Qin Yuehuai, who is in charge of the matter, and she has to worry about it?
Meng Changqing blamed Qin Yuehuai: "Why don't you go to that garden a few times?"

Qin Yuehuai sneered: "If I don't go, then you will take care of it?"

When the plan failed, Meng Changqing had another idea: "Then arrange for my younger siblings to come in as well. I think she is also enjoying it in the medicine hall. In this way, you can see her often."

Qin Yuehuai opened his eyes and said coldly: "I don't have the guts to pretend to be a public servant for personal gain."

He even had the courage to pretend to be someone else and sneak up in front of the emperor, but he had some scruples about arranging a job for a mere handyman, fearing that he would not be able to arrange for Mrs. Shen, who had the most upright ideas.

Meng Changqing didn't expose it and simply threw the words back to him: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Qin Yuehuai closed his eyes again.

To be honest, he had been familiar with Cai Xizhu when he was in Qingshui Village. That little lady had some talent for medicinal materials. It could also be seen from the incident of rescuing people in "Ankang Hall" that she was a hard-working and willing to study hard. She was very fond of children. Her patience is excellent, and it is a good thing for her and the patient that she can go to "Ji'an Garden" to help or train her.

But her identity is exactly Cai Yu's daughter.

The person who betrayed her trust and handed the sharpest knife to the people who harmed dozens of members of her Qin family was her most inseparable father.

Reason said: Those who do not know are not guilty, and Cai Xizhu is innocent; the hatred in the heart also said: If the son of the enemy is not punished, benevolence and justice will be exhausted.

Qin Qilang was torn in his heart and had a splitting headache.

In the long silence, the carriage stopped and arrived at the door of his mansion.

Before getting off the car, Qin Yuehuai said: "If she is willing, she will be transferred to Zhang Mansion with the patient."

This is what it means that the matter has been completed. Meng Changqing was overjoyed.

When Qin Yuehuai bent down to get out of the car, he saw the wine on the small table and generously said, "I have something for you!"

Qin Yuehuai obviously didn't care about any feedback from Meng Changqing, and his steps didn't stop for a moment.

Meng Changqing had no choice but to chase him out, calling him: "Hey, wait a minute, we're already at the door. Why are you so anxious?"

"This is Biqiong liquid, Biqiong liquid! Good wine, beautiful wine, rare wine!"

"Hiss...it's so cold outside! You can't slow down-"

Holding the wine swaying in his hand, Meng Changqing stood firm and suddenly paused in his words.

Because he was caught off guard, he saw the young lady standing up tremblingly from the threshold.

Contrary to her enthusiastic behavior that looked like she had been waiting all night, looking at her husband's stone, Mrs. Shen's eyes when she looked at Qin Qi and him were as cold as frost.

Meng Changqing could not have imagined that Shen Yanhan was sitting on the threshold with his knees in his arms and fell asleep. He woke up with difficulty when he heard the noise. Due to the easy sight, when he raised his eyes and looked up, he saw the wine jar in his hand first.

When Qin Yuehuai appeared with Meng Changqing carrying a wine pot, when Qin Yuehuai walked up to meet her and asked her anxiously and angrily, "Why are you here?" Shen Yanhan, whose legs and feet had already been numb from the cold, helped her. He stood up from the threshold and dug his nails into the door frame.

She watched Qin Yuehuai pull down his lower lip in a self-deprecating manner, and his throat felt like it had been scratched by gravel: "I went to drink."

Sure enough, people can't be soft-hearted.

She endured the pain while waiting for someone, while they were drunk and dreaming.

Seeing that her cheeks were red, he thought she had a high fever again. Thinking of how confused she was from the fever last night, Qin Yuehuai's heart felt like a knife. He had no time to explain why he should drink or not, so he could only express his concern: "Have you taken your medicine? Are you ready?" What are you waiting for me to do?"

It was okay if he didn't ask, but when he asked, Shen Yanhan felt even more self-righteous in his waiting.

She had just imagined that as soon as he appeared, she would rush over and hug him.

What a self-indulgent.

She didn't know who she was angry at, but Shen Yanhan was sweating on his forehead, but his heart was cold, and his tone was even colder: "You didn't let Yang Dong let me go, you put me under house arrest for one day, and you didn't want me to go back. How can you pretend to be a good person? .”

Qin Yuehuai looked past her and saw Yang Dong raising his hand to touch the back of his head. He immediately understood what kind of good thing the clumsy-tongued Yang Dong had done.

Meng Changqing, who had watched half of the scene, took a step forward, stood beside Qin Yuehuai, and said in a shocked tone: "Are you putting this young lady under house arrest?"

Qin Yuehuai glanced sideways and gave him a glare that added fuel to the fire.

Meng Changqing was rolling with laughter. Qin Qi didn't coax Mrs. Shen well at all, but deliberately showed off in front of him.

"Reciprocity", he strode forward, raised the wine in his hand to Yang Dong's eyes, and said meaningfully without making a sound: "This is the biqiong liquid he specially found for you, do you know what it means? Ah. ?Put it away quickly."

After that, he thrust the wine jar into Yang's hands and fled the battlefield like his ass was burning before Qin Yuehuai came to settle the score with him.

Yang Dong looked at Qin Yuehuai as stiff as a wooden stake.

But thanks to Meng Changqing's unnecessary move, Yang Dong was exposed. When their eyes met, Qin Yuehuai guessed something related to wine from Yang Dong's guilty eyes.

After Meng Changqing left, Shen Yanhan's numb legs gradually regained consciousness. She took steps and planned to go back home, bypassing Qin Yuehuai who was standing in front of her.

But when she just moved a step, someone grabbed her waist and the back of her neck.

In an instant, before she could make any move, an enlarged face appeared in front of her eyes, and then, her lips felt warm.

Lang Jun pursed her soft lips and said, "Smell, have I drank?"

Shen Yanhan paused.

There was no smell of alcohol between his lips and teeth. He had already realized in his mind that he had misunderstood the person. The intimacy spread from the top of his head. He kissed her tenderly and slowly pressed her into his arms. He thought of her braving the wind and snow. After waiting for him to spend the night, he couldn't hold back the smile in his throat.

The chest in front of her was trembling slightly from his smile, and Shen Yanhan felt embarrassed. She pushed him, but heard him slurring his words because of kissing her: "Wait for me, are you waiting for me because you want to see me? Madam Shen Why are you always in such a hurry?"

The warmth on her cheeks couldn't help but rise. She was dizzy after being kissed by him, and being completely seen through by him. Shen Yanhan simply closed her eyes, sat down on the ground, and pretended to faint.

"Jiaojiao—"
