good wife

Chapter 268
Jingyi felt that the skirt of the clothes was loosened, and she cried out that it was not good, she hurriedly pushed Yuanxi and said: "Not yet!" After speaking, her face turned red, and she hurriedly turned around and fixed the clothes by herself.

Yuan Xi saw her like this, and knew that he was a little too impulsive today.I went to the window and opened the window to take a few breaths of cool air, and the restlessness in my heart was finally suppressed.

"Yiyi, I'm sorry! I, I didn't do it on purpose." After finishing speaking, Wang Jingyi still turned her back to him and did not speak.He secretly resented that he was too impulsive just now, and he was afraid that he had frightened her again. "Yiyi, I'll accompany you out of the city tomorrow. I still have government affairs to deal with, so I'm going to the study first. I'll come and have dinner with you later." After speaking, she hurried out of the yard.

Jingyi waited for him to leave before turning around.His face was still flushed.

"Begonia!"

"Yes! What are your orders, princess?"

"You go and bring over the box of calligraphy and paintings that my grandfather gave me before my big wedding. I will carefully select one to see if I can find one that is suitable for Mr. Ouyang."

"Yes! The servant girl is going now."

Jingyi watched Haitang go out, and she also went to the yard, "Mother He!"

Nanny He was folding those cotton-padded clothes, and when she saw Jingyi calling her, she hurried over, "Yes! What orders do you have for your servant?"

"You go and give me the calligraphy and paintings that I had someone framed before."

"But what did the princess do before she came out of the cabinet?"

"Exactly! Especially the calligraphy and paintings I brought back from Changlong Temple later."

"Yes! The servant girl will find it now."

Jingyi didn't move much for a while, just kept picking and choosing among several boxes.After much deliberation, I finally picked out a landscape painting and a piece of writing written by myself.

"Nurse He, put these two pictures away first and keep them aside. I will make them as congratulatory gifts later on, so be careful not to get them dirty."

"Yes! Princess, it's getting late, it's time for dinner."

"Understood, send someone to the outer study to see if the prince is finished. I'll wait for him to come and eat together."

"Yes!" Nanny He held up the calligraphy and painting, and ordered someone to carry the box out.

Before dawn the next day, Jingyi washed and dressed early. "Is the carriage ready?" Jingyi asked while looking at the cotton clothes that Nanny He and the others had arranged.

"It's ready to go back to the princess. You and the prince should have breakfast first before going out."

Jingyi nodded, and briefly used some together with Yuanxi.He got into the carriage and drove out of the city.

Jingyi and Yuanxi rode in a carriage with the mark of Wangfu. In front of them was the first day of junior high school with guards clearing the way, followed by the carriage of Haitang and others, and behind them were four carriages with large wooden boxes.This journey has attracted the attention of many people.

"Yuanxi, I thought about it all night last night. The house in the White Mansion is not small! It is a house with seven entrances. I did a rough calculation. If there are four or five children living in each room, what will happen here?" It can accommodate five or six hundred people."

Yuan Xi nodded, "This Baishi is indeed luxurious, I'm afraid you don't know it yet. Apart from this house, he also has another courtyard in the west of the closed city. In other places, there are a total of seven Zhuangzi, and six A separate courtyard. Yiyi, copying a white mansion is equivalent to adding a large sum of money to our treasury!"

Jingyi smiled and said: "This is just right, let's make good use of these. Try to get from the people and use them for the people! These houses and shops are always dead things. Now that the weather is getting colder, we can just have a big Useful. As for money, let’s see, we may not be able to use much! After all, they are common people, and they can work to make money.”

"Okay! This matter is up to you to arrange. If the house in Baifu is not enough, there is also Baishanhua's place!"

"Yes. I see. By the way, Shiraishi and his children?"

"Don't worry. I have exiled them to Pingqiu County according to your suggestion. As for Baishi, he committed suicide yesterday. Yue Zhengyang has been busy clearing out some of Baishi's henchmen these days, so he will probably be very busy!"

"Then you will be very busy, so many officials will be dismissed at once, who will replace them?"

Yuan Xi shook his head, "There are too many officials in this city! Originally, I intentionally streamlined it! One seat occupies two or three people, but there are not many people who actually do things! Besides, I just need to find A suitable style is enough, let him worry about the rest."

"Wen Xiang? Do you have a suitable candidate?"

"Yeah. I've ordered people to give the order. Tomorrow, I will announce it in front of the officials of the city."

"Oh? Who did you choose?"

Yuan Xi blinked and said, "Yiyi has always been smart, guess what!"

After hearing this, Jingyi lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "Could it be sister Fu's grandfather, Mr. Fu Yan?"

Yuan Xi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yiyi really understands me! Yes, it's him!"

Jingyi nodded, "I heard that sister Fu's father, Fu Hua, is also a hard-working man. He is generous and benevolent, and is very loved by the local people. He has only been an official for more than ten years, why is he still just a young man? Where is the county magistrate?"

"This is exactly the reason why I want to use Mr. Fu Yan. This old Mr. Fu has a very thorough and long-term view of things! He must have expected that Baishi would not end well in the city closure, so he gave it to himself. His son ordered to stay away from the Bai clan! In this way, Fu Hua would not flatter Baishi, so naturally he would not be reused. In this way, he was saved instead!"

A gleam flashed in Jingyi's eyes when she heard this, "Yuanxi, the person you really want to be promoted to be Wenxiang is Fu Hua, right?"

Yuan Xi smiled and nodded, "Yiyi is really quick-witted and understands everything! That's right! Although Mr. Fu Yan has enough prestige, he is old after all. In this position of literary minister, he can only sit for a while at most. In three or four years, the one who is really promising is his son!"

"That's right! This Fu family is also a prominent family in the closed city! With the support of the Fu family, Fu Hua will be more comfortable in doing things! In addition, the governor of the closed city is his son-in-law. There will not be too many obstacles in the promotion of the Queen of the city."

When Jingyi said this, she looked at Yuanxi with some scrutiny, "Have you met this old gentleman long ago?"

"Haha!" Yuanxi laughed and said, "Yiyi! You always hit the nail on the head! When I first entered the city, I visited Mr. Fu secretly. A few days ago, after Baishi was imprisoned, I went to visit him again. Once." After finishing speaking, he lightly scratched the bridge of Jingyi's nose with his finger, "I really can't hide anything from you!"

Jingyi gave him an angry look, "You, you are really good at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Everyone thought that you would be easy to deal with when you first entered the closed city and had no power. I didn't expect that you would be the first to do so quietly. Created a Baishanhua, and took down the Zuoshan Daying! It’s great now, and the candidate to replace Baishi was selected early. Yuanxi, I really have to admire you!"
