So he needed her?
"Oh, stop talking." She said coquettishly, "Let's get up quickly."
--
A little over two quarters of an hour later, the couple arrived at the front yard.
Following their footsteps, Yu Liang ordered someone to bring breakfast to the dining room in the front yard.
Seeing them arrive, Yan Xinghe and Lu Wenfeng followed them to the dining room.
"Brother, come and have something to eat with Wenfeng." Yan Funing invited him in a gentle voice.
"I've eaten." Yan Xinghe said, "That's why I came here after eating."
Having said that, he still sat down at the dinner table.
Lu Wenfeng also said: "I have eaten too, but I can eat some more."
In fact, he was so preoccupied with his official duties that he had no mood for breakfast. Remembering that he had to come to Ci Yi to resolve his issues today, he dealt with them casually and hurried over.
Naturally, he would not refuse to eat a little more at this moment.
Yan Funing asked Yu Liang to add more bowls and chopsticks.
"The weather has been perfect these days, perfect for transplanting fruits and vegetables," Yan Xinghe said. "My sister is concerned about those two orange trees, so I thought we'd plant them in the palace as soon as possible. Considering that most of the servants in the palace are young, I brought along our Yan family's gardener, who has experience in fruit tree care."
"Brother-in-law is thoughtful." Fu Ciyi said calmly.
After dinner, Fu Ciyi, Yan Xinghe and Yan Funing set off for the Fu Mansion.
Lu Wenfeng followed.
Seeing this, Fu Ciyi said coldly: "I will send someone to inquire about your matter, you just go back and wait for the news."
"I'm also quite experienced in transplanting fruit trees." Fearing that Fu Ciyi wouldn't give him a chance to demonstrate his abilities, Lu Wenfeng looked at Yan Funing and said, "Funing, let me go with you."
He needs to be more diligent.
In this way, not only Ci Yi would help, but even Yan Xinghe would be able to say a few words to help out because of his diligence.
"Then let's go together." Yan Funing agreed.
Fu Ciyi held her hand and said softly, "You should rest at home."
"I want to go and see it." Yan Funing whispered, "That's the orange tree you planted for me. No matter what, I have to go and see it."
Yan Xinghe heard the couple's conversation and couldn't help but ask, "You just woke up and you want to rest again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something.
Fu Ciyi glanced at him.
Yan Xinghe finally fell silent.
It was Lu Wenfeng who said, "Digging and transplanting fruits and vegetables is a man's job. If Fu Ning gets tired of watching, she can take a rest on the side."
So, the four of them set off.
A large group of people followed behind the car.
When they arrived at the Fu Mansion, Yan Xinghe asked, "Were the Cai brothers and sisters captured in this mansion?"
"Yes." Fu Ciyi did not hide it from him, "The Cai family girl had planted a spy next to me earlier. She thought that Ningning and I were staying at the old house for a while, and she wanted to take the opportunity to kill Ningning."
"She wants to kill my sister?" Yan Xinghe raised his voice, "And she's planting spies around you?"
"Who is the spy of the Cai family girl?" Lu Wenfeng also asked.
"As for who it is, it's better not to say." Fu Ciyi said calmly, "Don't worry, this spy is not actually the Cai family's woman's man. He is loyal to Ningning and me."
Yan Xinghe nodded: "So you guys are going to take advantage of their tactic and fight back?"
"Um."
The group went to the main courtyard.
In the main courtyard, the lush green of two orange trees is strikingly visible.
Fu Ciyi ordered Caiyu and Caishi to bring out a recliner for Yan Funing to lie down and rest, while he went to the yard to look at the orange tree.
Yan Xinghe and Lu Wenfeng walked to his side.
"This huge orange tree has grown even taller this year." Lu Wenfeng looked up. "It would be difficult to dig it up by the roots."
"It's indeed difficult. The tree canopy is so deep above ground, and the underground roots must be even deeper." Fu Ciyi turned his head to look at Yan Xinghe, "Second uncle is a meticulous person, so this difficult task is left to you."
Yan Xinghe turned his head to look at Lu Wenfeng: "You said you have experience, then it depends on you, anyway, I have no experience."
Lu Wenfeng suddenly felt guilty and looked at Fu Ciyi: "Ciyi, you have farmed in the countryside before, so it would be better for you to supervise the work yourself."
If he damaged the two orange trees, he would probably lose his official position.
The three men pushed each other again and again, which made Yan Funing laugh out loud.
Finally, under the leadership of the Yan family craftsmen, the laborers began to dig, and this was the official start of the construction.
After digging for a while, the carpenter walked up to the eaves and bowed, "Second uncle, Second young lady, Second young master, the roots of the two trees are very wide and deep. We have to tear down the brickwork of the flower bed."
"Tear it down." Fu Ciyi agreed.
"Yes, sir." The craftsman raised his hand and the servants started working.
It looked like the situation couldn't be handled in a short time, so Caiyu and Cai Shi moved the table out and served tea and snacks.
Yan Xinghe drank tea while observing the progress in the yard.
Lu Wenfeng held two pieces of dessert and went to see if the servant had broken the roots.
"Yesterday, the Emperor sent people out of the capital to receive the marriage envoys." Yan Xinghe said, "Why didn't my brother-in-law go?"
"I don't have time to go." Fu Ciyi didn't want to say more.
"The Emperor ordered us to go, but we were already too late when we arrived at the palace," Yan Funing said softly. "The Emperor was furious because of this."
"Among the other party's visitors is the Crown Prince. Now everyone in the court is talking about who will go to receive him. It's probably our Dajing Crown Prince." Yan Xinghe played with the teacup, his voice light, "I don't know what my brother-in-law is busy with. Is there something more important than the Crown Prince's position?"
Fu Ciyi was stunned.
In his eyes, there are naturally people and things that are more important than the position of crown prince.
The person is Yan Funing.
The matter is between him and her.
Yan Funing had no choice but to lower her eyes and drink tea to ease the embarrassment in her heart.
Lu Wenfeng, who was acting as a supervisor in the courtyard, heard this and quickly came over to sit down. He lowered his voice and asked, "Why did you mention the position of Crown Prince?"
Yan Xinghe leaned close to him and told him about welcoming the delegation from the neighboring country.
"The relationship between the two countries has been reconciled, which can be considered a great achievement. The fact that so many royal family members, including the crown prince, have come this time shows that they are very eager to form an alliance with Dajing." Lu Wenfeng also said, "Receiving the diplomatic corps is indeed very important."
Seeing that the two of them seemed to be blaming him for not seizing the opportunity, Fu Ciyi said coldly, "If the boss is willing to do this, let him go."
He really doesn't care anyway.
Lu Wenfeng: "Ci Yi..."
Before he could finish his words, Fu Ciyi interrupted him: "It's a day off today, so I won't be going to the Ministry of Personnel for the time being. I guess your problem is probably related to your cousin."
"Is it related to my cousin?" Lu Wenfeng murmured.
Fu Ciyi analyzed slowly, "The Cai family was raided, and Lu Yangping, because of his close ties with Cai Tingzhou, is now the subject of a strict investigation. Your last name is Lu, and now you're seeking a promotion, aren't you walking into the crossfire?"
Lu Wenfeng slapped his forehead and realized: "It must be because of this reason, so what should we do now?"
"I'll write you a letter of introduction, saying that you and I took the imperial examination together and I'm familiar with your character." Fu Ciyi said.
"I can also help write, after all, we are in the same subject." Yan Xinghe also spoke.
Hearing this, Lu Wenfeng stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you so much, Your Highness, and thank you, Master Yan!"
