Sir, I can do it!

After Wei Zhao sat for a while, Qiao Li came back with a somewhat melancholy expression on his face.

Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Master Ning still hasn't come back?"

Qiao Li shook his head.It's not that he misses Ning Zhiyuan so much, even when they set up a stall together at Huguo Temple, they were a little unhappy.But after Dong Yu's death, Qiao Li's state of mind has changed.

In the final analysis, they are all little people in this big and prosperous capital, and adults can make them irreversible by stomping their feet.They tried their best to live and climb forward, and those people raised their hands to make all their efforts in vain.In Qiao Li's view, there was no news from Ning Zhiyuan, which was not good news, and he must have a feeling of sadness.Because of this, he cherishes the opportunity Wei Zhao gave him.

Wei Yuan carried a bagful of red crabapple fruits in his lapel, and ran over to show off to Wei Zhao happily, his eyes narrowed as he laughed.

The weather was hot, and several children climbed up and down the tree and had a lot of fun. The clean little doll when they went out looked like a mud monkey rolled out of the mud soup.Seeing that Qiao Li and Guanshi Wang were there, and there was a handsome nobleman in front of Wei Yuan, the children behind Wei Yuan couldn't help but get nervous.

Wei Zhao smiled kindly, without any intention of blame.Steward Wang exhaled lightly, and elbowed Qiao Li.Qiao Li recovered from his depressed mood in an instant, and suddenly thought that he had something to say with Young Master Wei.

Hastily stepped forward to salute, pulled the two children behind Wei Yuan and said: "Zhang Yuan and Qi Xin are quite talented among these children. I have read the books. I will also focus on teaching them the Four Books in my spare time, but if I continue to study here, I am afraid that the progress of the two children will be delayed."

Wei Zhao turned his head to look at the two children, Zhang Yuan was seven years old, and Qi Xin was six years old.Children of this age should act like a baby in the arms of their parents, but they have lost their homes, parents and relatives, and are wandering in the world.Xu is that going through pain will always make people grow.The two children lost their initial embarrassment and instead looked at Wei Zhao expectantly.

Wei Yuan looked ignorant, leaning obediently beside Wei Zhao with a crabapple in his bag, blinking his bright eyes at the two younger brothers.

Wei Zhao didn't speak for a while, even Qiao Li's palms were sweating coldly, wondering if he was being so abrupt to Mr. Wei.

After a long time, when the light in Zhang Yuan's and Qi Xin's eyes gradually dimmed, Wei Zhao knocked on the table and said to Qiao Li: "Father wants to choose a companion for Yuan'er, I think these two children are good, Tomorrow, I will send someone to pick it up. But whether it will be successful or not will only be determined after seeing my father and elder brother."

Wei Yuan now understands that the third uncle is here to choose a partner for him.Thinking of the new good friend who will be able to play with him every day in the future, Wei Yuan shyly slipped into Wei Zhao's arms.Reluctantly, he picked up a crabapple fruit and handed it to Wei Zhao: "Yuan'er picked it by himself."

Wei Zhao glanced at him sideways, and took a bite out of it to save face.Zhang Yuan opened his mouth, before he could stop it...

The sour juice entered the mouth, and Wei Zhao's juanxiu facial features were immediately tangled together. Steward Wang hurriedly added tea, and Wei Zhao took a sip of tea regardless of his image, but felt astringent in his mouth, finally diluting some of the sour taste.

Wei Yuan was dumbfounded, looked down at the glowing red fruit, and asked cautiously, "No, isn't it delicious?"

Wei Zhao glared at him, and Wei Yuan shrank his neck in trepidation.Still a little unconvinced in my heart, I planned to take it back and pickle candied fruit for Aunt Jiang.

The matter here was settled, Wei Zhao saw that it was still early, and thought he still had things to do, so he took Wei Yuan and left.

After Wei Zhao left, Qiao Li and Wang Guanshi also brought Zhang Yuan and Qi Xin into the house to teach them...

Wei Yuan pulled his collar and coughed violently twice, his short legs kicked in mid-air a few times.

Wei Zhao carried him to the car, and then let go.Wei Yuan glanced at him resentfully, and protested: "Third Uncle, don't always carry me!"

Wei Zhao rubbed his nose, thinking of being carried by Changsun Ke every time, so he badly wanted to try to see what it was like to carry someone.Of course, the only one who can be picked up by him is Wei Yuan, a poor little guy.

When the carriage arrived at Shuntian Mansion, Wei Zhao stretched out his claws towards Wei Yuan again...

Lu Zhan's family property was confiscated. Although the punishment did not affect his family, all the dowry shops under Cui's name were also confiscated.After the Ministry of Criminal Justice closed the case, these house deeds and land deeds were handed over to Shuntian Mansion, which was responsible for the auction.

Naturally, Wei Zhao came to Shuntian Mansion for the other garden in Xiaoxishan of the Lu family, he didn't think about it for a day or two.After patting his pockets and copying the Chihuotang, he became the richest person in the Hou Mansion, with a lot of money.

However, Doutou was poured a basin of cold water.The document told him that the villa was bought by someone, just a quarter of an hour ago.

"Who bought it?" Wei Zhao was a little unhappy.He has been asking people to keep an eye on Shuntian Mansion, and only wait for the things to be released before they come to take pictures, but he didn't expect someone to be faster than him.

"The villain doesn't know his identity. He should be a fresh face of which faction. He doesn't want to be known."

Seeing Wei Zhao's gloomy face, the clerk hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "...the Lu Mansion has a lot of industries, and the farm tea gardens are excellent, and there are also large tracts of fertile land, which will surely have a good harvest this autumn. There is a Zhuangzi in Dingzhou on the mountain, and there are hot springs... ..."

Weizhao only bought half of the property that Chihuotang copied, and Lu's property is indeed doing very well.Although Bieyuan was bought away, Wei Zhao was sad for a while, but he still cheered up to buy property for himself.In the end, I chose a tea garden in the south, and a thousand acres of fertile land in a neighboring county, and I finally felt a little relieved.

Wei Yuan felt that his third uncle was not very happy. When he got into the carriage, he stretched his neck obediently, and said as if he was dead: "I'll carry it for you."

Wei Zhao: ...

It's rare for him to go out for a trip, Wei Yuan wished he could visit all of Shengjing City, of course this is impossible.Because there were so many delicious foods on the street, Wei Yuan had to stop and eat for a while after walking two steps.

Wei Yuan supported his waist, straightened his stomach and hiccupped, and looked around the food stalls on both sides with great reluctance: "Actually, I've lost my stomach, and I can still eat."

Wei Zhao also supported his waist, and glanced at him lazily when he heard the words: "I also had this ideal of yours when I was young."

Wei Yuan asked excitedly: "Did it come true?"

Wei Zhao tilted his head: "It's always on the way to realization."

It was late in the evening when we returned to Hou's Mansion, and when we got out of the car, we saw a young woman and a maidservant by the door, Wei Zhao looked around for a while before he remembered who they were.

"Aunt Huo."

Seeing Wei Zhao approaching, Aunt Huo hurriedly bowed to him.Behind Wei Zhao, Wei Yuan widened his eyes and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, full of novelty.

Aunt Huo also noticed Wei Yuan, with a strange look on her face.But Xiaolan turned her back, shrugging her shoulders as if holding back a laugh.After finally holding back, he turned around and Hou was at the side.

Wei Zhao had seen this weird expression a lot when he was on the street, and he was numb for a long time.He invited Aunt Huo into the mansion for a talk, but Aunt Huo refused.

"The little lady came here to ask Mr. Wei if what she said back then counts."

What she was talking about was that when Xiaoxishan Bieyuan rescued Wei Zhao, he asked him to promise her something.Wei Zhao naturally remembered.Thinking of the fact that after the Lu family was raided, the whole family had no livelihood, the Cui family sold most of the servants, and a bunch of Lu Zhan's concubine concubine letters were also given to them to find their own way out.Cui himself returned to his family.Right now, Aunt Huo has taken off her exquisite dress, she is dressed in plain clothes, and there are no hairpins on her hair, she thinks her life is not very good.

Wei Zhao was thinking about it, and nodded solemnly: "I don't know what orders Madam Huo has."

Wei Zhao is kind and kind, and Mrs. Huo seems to be very satisfied with this title.Seeing that Wei Zhao seemed worried, she smiled and said, "It's not something embarrassing, I just want to ask Mr. Wei about someone."

"Who?"

"Ning Zhiyuan."

Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows in surprise, and many details that had been overlooked suddenly flooded into his mind.Qi County, scholar, county magistrate.

"You are Huo Bao'er's sister, Ning Zhiyuan's fiancée."

Mrs. Huo was not at all surprised that Wei Zhao thought of this, she nodded with a flat smile.Recalling the past, there is a bit of regret.

"I made an appointment with Zhiyuan, and the two agreed to have a wine after the autumn harvest. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate Lu used strong means to occupy me. I wanted to die, but after my father died, my mother took the younger brother to live a difficult life. I I can only try my best to coax Lu Zhan, coax money from him and secretly send it to my mother."

"At first I thought that I would make Lu Zhan a concubine, and Zhiyuan would marry another one. I didn't expect that Zhiyuan would find me in the second year after Lu Zhan was promoted to the prefect of Fuzhou. I didn't know that I was robbed that year, and Zhiyuan's mother was furious. Once sick, Zhiyuan finished his filial piety, and inquired about Lu Zhan's whereabouts all the way, and found Fuzhou."

"I also learned from him that the mother and younger brother were driven away by the master's house. He wanted to take them to take care of them, but the mother refused and took the younger brother to Beijing. After that, I lost the news. I miss it, but I don’t know what to do. Zhiyuan wanted to take me away secretly, but Fuzhou is under Lu Zhan’s control, so where can we escape? Besides, Lu Zhan ruined my two families, so what’s the point of not taking revenge Survive the world with face."

"So the two of us kept in touch secretly, and I started to compete for favor from then on, and slowly approached Lu Zhan."

She sighed: "It's just that I and the Zhiyuan people are so soft-spoken. Over the years, Lu Zhan has harmed many innocent women, but I can only watch. Finally, the heavens have eyes. I am more and more favored by Lu Zhan, and the servants below are also right I became more and more respectful. I started to buy off Lu Zhan's people, until Lu Zhan was transferred to Shengjing, and I also knew a lot of their secrets."

Wei Zhao realized in an instant: "The mysterious person who sent me the letter is you."

Mrs. Huo nodded: "I entrusted Manager Cheng to deliver it."

"Isn't Guanshi Cheng a confidant of Lu Zhan?"

A look of sadness flashed in Mrs. Huo's eyes: "Lu Zhan is lustful, but Manager Cheng happens to have a beautiful daughter who failed to escape Lu Zhan's clutches..."

She made up her mind and continued: "It is precisely because he is Lu Zhan's confidant that I can know so many secrets, and our affairs will be so smooth. Otherwise, Mr. Wei thought that Lu Zhan had already found out that someone was staring at the Moon Tower. Why? Will you take the risk of transporting a group of women from Fuzhou?"

Wei Zhao came to a sudden realization: "Cheng Guan was obedient to others, and did not pass on Lu Zhan's order. Fuzhou only sent people away according to the usual rules, but he didn't know that Shengjing was no longer a safe place."

"That's right, the same is true for the secret room in the Moon Tower. If Lu Ding hadn't found something wrong in the end, and was so determined to destroy the Moon Tower, I'm afraid Mr. Wei would get more evidence in the end."

Wei Zhao thought for a while and said, "The brothers of the Lu family don't separate their families, but Lu Zhan did such a big thing without telling Lu Ding, and the relationship between the two brothers became more and more estranged later on. Mrs. Huo's credit is probably indispensible for this." .”

Mrs. Huo expressed her acquiescence.

"The Lu family is very powerful. I didn't expect to bring down Lu Zhan so soon. But Cheng Cheng said that Lu Zhan's people had kidnapped the third lady of the Zhou family. Later, the murder case of Wei Shizi Fanlou was rumored again. Zhiyuan came to me. Said it was a good opportunity."

"I handed over to Zhiyuan the secret business route that Lu Ding handed over to Lu Zhan that Steward Cheng had found out, so that he could play by ear."

Wei Zhaofu said to his heart: "No wonder Big Brother Cao and the others are doing so smoothly. If the expectations are correct, the righteous man they are talking about must be Mr. Ning!"
