Xue Ji and Dou Shuo, who were immersed in the game, had no idea that the Wang family not far from here was having an inhuman banquet.

Although Shen Ji didn't know that Wang Jixun's bottom line would break the lower limit again, she still had Yanyan's safety in mind, so she took a chance and asked Lu Guitu's second son, Lu Mengxiu, who was entertaining them: "The official family is the most important person in the world." My brother-in-law also lives on this street?"

Lu Mengxiu never doubted Shen Ji's intentions, and said: "Yes, the five houses above here are Uncle Wang Guo's mansion."

"Find a chance, let's visit Uncle Wang Guo too!" Shen Ji said to Xue Ji.

Xue Ji had a face of resistance: "Why visit him? We are not familiar with him, and he is not the same as us."

Dou said that he also nodded.To be honest, with Wang Jixun's domineering and brutal temperament, who would dare to associate with him?That is Shen Ji's head iron.

Shen Ji said: "He is just not good to the people under his opponent. We are not his subordinates, let alone servants of their family. Are you afraid that he will be rough on us? Besides, the little king asked me to say hello to his uncle. Since I agreed, why not?" Can you keep your word?"

"Little King" refers to Zhao Defang, who is Wang Jixun's nephew. When Shen Ji said so, Xue Ji and Dou had no doubts.

Of course, Shen Ji didn't lie to them completely, after all, before she set off, she did fool Zhao Defang and said hello to Wang Jixun for him.

"That's all right, there is no good place to go after enjoying the flowers on the left and right." Xue Ji was in high spirits.

Lu Mengxiu watched them hesitate to speak, Shen Ji saw it and asked him: "Why, do you want to go with us too?"

Lu Mengxiu waved his hands hastily: "No, I dare not bother Uncle Guo."

"You seem to be afraid of him? Did something happen?" Shen Ji asked again.

"No!" Lu Mengxiu's reaction was strong enough to make Xue Ji and Dou Shuo suspicious.

Seeing their suspicious looks, Lu Mengxiu said: "No, it's just that everyone said that in the uncle's house, there are often female ghosts crying, and a monk named Guanghui from Changshou Temple often goes in and out of the uncle's house. , everyone said it was haunted."

Xue Ji and Dou said that they looked at each other, and they didn't sneer at the theory of ghosts. They knew Wang Jixun's virtues, and they thought that he might have gone back to his old ways and began to abuse the slaves.

Shen Ji asked again: "Did the monks from Changshou Temple go there to practice?"

Lu Mengxiu lowered his voice: "You don't know about this. But it is true that people die every now and then in Uncle Guo's house. Every time the monk leaves, the coffin is carried out at night."

Xue Ji thought that after Wang Jixun was punished, he would not dare to torture and kill slaves anymore. He thought that this time it was just torture, and he would not be dead. He didn't expect that he was a dog who couldn't get rid of eating shit, and his hands were stained with human life again!

"Does the government just ignore it?" He asked.

"Hey, the left-behind Jiao Zhifu in Xijing is over 70 years old, and he basically doesn't care about the affairs. Moreover, the people don't raise the officials and don't prosecute them. The people dare not sue, so the government will naturally turn a blind eye."

At this time, Lu Guitu came over after finishing his work, and Lu Mengxiu didn't dare to talk about Wang Jixun's affairs, so the topic stopped.

After leaving Lu's house, Xue Ji asked Shen Ji: "You heard it too, Wang Jixun's disposition hasn't changed at all, should we go there?"

"That should be over!" Shen Ji was terribly calm, but she didn't know that her clenched fists showed the anger in her heart.

When Wang Jixun committed such a serious crime, Shen Ji was still young and unable to distinguish right from wrong. Now that this happened so close to her, it was difficult for her to keep calm.

"Why did you go over there and make trouble?" Xue Ji was puzzled.

"You think it's troublesome, but I don't think so. If he didn't do anything illegal, then we can also clear him up, so that everyone won't talk about him behind his back, and the royal family's reputation and face will be preserved. If he really did If something illegal is committed, then we also have a count in our hearts.”

These words obviously couldn't convince Xue Ji, but he wasn't really afraid of getting into trouble, if that was the case, he wouldn't have messed around in Bianliang unscrupulously in the past.Seeing that Shen Ji was going to make a move, he said, "Sure, let's go, we can take care of anything together."

Dou said that his status is far inferior to the two, but thinking of being "brothers", how can he back down?So he also stood beside Shen Ji: "Then I will accompany you for a while."

The three came to the door with great fanfare, and Wang Jixun and Guanghui, who were feasting, were taken aback. Guanghui spit out the meat in his mouth in a hurry, and scurried around behind the pillar like a headless chicken, trying to find a place to hide.

Wang Jixun was so bold that he said, "Why are you panicking? They're still outside the door, they didn't come in!"

They are just three yellow-mouthed children, what is he afraid of?

But Guanghui's face was tense, not as calm as when he was eating meat.

Wang Jixun waved again: "You take these things down, and I'll see what they want to do!"

Guanghui did as he said, Wang Jixun saw that there was nothing unusual about him, and then went out.

After the three came in, they saluted him. His face was gloomy. Seeing that there was nothing out of the ordinary in the behavior of the three, he suddenly smiled and asked, "Why did you come to Luoyang?"

Xue Ji said: "I've heard of the great reputation of Luoyang peonies, but it's a pity that I haven't seen them when they grow up so big, so I took advantage of the season to come here to play and enjoy the peonies."

"After the little king learned that we were going to travel to Luoyang, he asked us to say hello to Uncle Guo. We just finished admiring the rare peony variety 'Yao Huang' at Lu's house not far away. Let's go to Uncle Guo!" Shen Ji also said.

Wang Jixun's guard had been lowered halfway, and he asked them instead: "Little Dawang has a heart, and I didn't have time to meet him last time at the Changchun Festival. I don't know how he is doing recently?"

Shen Ji picked out some of Zhao Defang's compliments and said, Wang Jixun suddenly straightened his back and listened attentively.

Shen Ji knew why he had such a change in attitude. He saw that Boss Zhao gradually began to pay attention to this young son. As the little prince's uncle, he would definitely benefit from it in the future, so he was very active. coming.

Suddenly, Shen Ji changed the subject and turned his head to look at the courtyard: "Speaking of which, Uncle Guo has lived in Luoyang for five years, and he has planted a lot of peonies in the courtyard, but why do they all look wilted? Could it be that he has not found any planted peonies?" The trick, or is the soil and water not suitable for these peonies?"

Wang Jixun's gaze suddenly became sharp, but when Shen Ji turned his head around, he quickly covered it up, and he smiled: "I am such a rough person, I have never liked flowers and plants, and the peonies planted in this courtyard are just random. Daliu, it’s just a decoration to decorate the courtyard. As for the peony, it must be because the lowly slaves at home saw that I didn’t care and neglected to take care of it!”

After finishing speaking, he yelled and asked someone to bring in the servant who tended the garden, and then in front of Shen Ji and the other three, he took out his whip and lashed it twenty or thirty times in the face of Shen Ji and the other three, until the servant's clothes were torn. He died, his body was bloody and bloody, and he didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy, so he passed out directly.

The three of Shen Ji knew that he was trying to make an example of others, and he was also scaring and threatening them.

After the beating was over, Wang Jixun looked at the three men threateningly.At this moment, Shen Ji yawned, and looked back at him with opened eyelids: "Looking at him like this, he must be unable to take care of this flower garden anymore, but I have learned some experience in cultivating peonies recently, why don't you let me help you?" Uncle Guo take care of it?"

Wang Jixun didn't expect that she was not frightened at all, and instead took this opportunity to come to the door and say that she would help him take care of the peonies!

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he said: "You are the son of the prime minister, why bother you to do this kind of thing?"

Shen Ji said freely: "What about the son of the prime minister? Without the protection of the old father, he is nothing."

Wang Jixun's face darkened again.

Could it be that Shen Ji's words were connoting him?So what about the uncle of the country, without the protection of the emperor's brother-in-law, he is nothing.

"Don't worry about it, I'll have someone get rid of this peony some other day." Wang Jixun said in a deep voice.

Shen Ji had a regretful expression on her face, and she said, "That's a pity, otherwise I'd like to bring a few pots back to the official family and the little king!"

"In the future, I will buy some precious peonies to offer."

"There are a lot of precious peonies that are presented to the officials during the Huachao Festival every year, and the officials probably don't care. But if it was planted by the uncle himself, or it was planted by the mansion of the uncle, it may be a unique species. Being able to be crowned the name of the uncle of the country, I think it will make the officials and the little king even more happy!"

Wang Jixun: "..."

Is "him" not satisfied with planting flowers for him?He actually asked him to plant the so-called unique variety himself!

Wang Jixun didn't understand why a brat could block his anger with a few words, but felt that "his" words were reasonable.

"My grand uncle..." Wang Jixun had to talk about his origin again, but Shen Ji turned his head and asked Xue Ji, "We were in the Lu family before, did you hear that there is a variety called 'Wei Hua', which comes from From Wei Renpu and Xiang Wei's family?"

Xue Ji nodded: "There is such a thing."

Shen Ji said again: "It is rumored that Wei Xiang did not cultivate Wei Hua himself, but a woodcutter who cut firewood found this unique peony in the mountains, dug it back, and sent it to Wei Xiang's home. There is a big pond in Wei Xiang’s house, and he planted this peony in the middle of the pond, and many people have to row a boat to see the peony..."①

"'Wei Hua' is second only to 'Yao Huang', the king of peony flowers, so Uncle Guo can also follow suit."

Wang Jixun was a little bored with these three brats, and felt that they couldn't understand human language, so how could he have the heart to do such a thing?

He found a reason and issued an order to evict the guests, and the three of them left.

Xue Ji said to Shen Ji: "We are all for his own good, but he doesn't appreciate it, don't call me to come to him next time."

For Boss Zhao, who pampered him time and time again, the more peaceful he is, the more he can be manipulated to return him to the court. If he gives people the image of studying and planting peonies all day long, he will definitely make the courtiers Change his mind.Even if he offered some peonies to Boss Zhao, to brush up his own sense of existence, he could please Boss Zhao. He was unwilling to do such a simple thing, and Boss Zhao deservedly didn't let him go back to Bianliang.

What is the difference between this and complaining about your wife/husband-in-law changing his mind all day long, but unwilling to change and mend the relationship between husband and wife?

He deserves to be looked down upon!

But Shen Ji said: "Do you really think his garden is like this because the servants didn't take good care of it?"

"What do you mean?"

Shen Ji looked back at the gate of Wang's house from a distance, and said: "I noticed that the soil in that flower garden is loose, which means that the soil has been loosened recently."

"Isn't it so strange to loosen the soil when planting peonies?"

"The loosening of the soil only loosens the soil around the roots, and it's only the surface soil. But looking at his garden, I'm afraid that even one meter of soil from the ground has been turned up, and some peonies have fallen down. If they hadn't been uprooted , it will definitely not happen during the flowering period.”

Xue Ji told Dou that they looked at each other, and finally Xue Ji asked her: "Shen Jizong, tell me the truth, do you have any other purpose for coming here?"

Notes: ① From Ouyang Xiu's "The Story of Luoyang Peony"

-

People sit at home, yellow codes come up to the sky.There are 3 cases in the next door area, because they have been to our town, so the town is blocked.I live in the village, and I woke up today with a yellow code, and the hospital in the town is still closed, so I can only go to the hospital in the urban area for nucleic acid, and then the yellow code does not allow me to enter the hospital door (the parking space is inside) and go straight Several hospitals couldn't find a parking space, so I had to go back to the community outside the original First-A Hospital and find a parking space.After finishing the nucleic acid and going home, what could have been done in an hour took three hours. 3 inspections in 2 days, and I have to go again tomorrow.
