Xie Shu asked Xi Mo to go to the Wei family to investigate Su Kai's affairs, sort out his own doubts, and confirm Wei Qingtong's situation.
Although Xie Shu had good intentions in asking Eunuch Liu to send Wei Qingtong away, he could not ignore the thoughts of the person involved.
When Xi Mo heard what his master said, he couldn't help showing a bit of distress. His master really let Wei Qingtong go and asked Eunuch Liu to rescue Wei Qingtong, but Wei Qingtong might not appreciate it!
Ximo still remembers clearly that last time he and his master went to rescue Wei Qingtong, he was just trying to persuade him, but he looked so cold. How could he be a person who remembers a favor?
If Wei Qingtong knew that his master was going to send him away far away, I wonder how he would blame his master in his heart!
However, this matter not only involved Wei Qingtong, but also other people. Xi Mo also knew that it was no trivial matter.
After receiving the order, Ximo prepared to leave Tingyu Pavilion and head straight to Pinglefang from Yu Mansion. But at this time Ximo remembered something. Because there were traffic restrictions on the roads today, ordinary people were not allowed to walk around at will, so Ximo still needed an identity card.
As salt merchants, the Yu family also has several copies of this identity card, which I think are all with Mr. Yu. Ximo certainly doesn't dare to ask Yu Chuxi for it, but it should not be difficult to ask Sister Fenghe in private.
Learning from other maids that Feng He had just returned with her husband and was resting in the side room, Xi Mo went up to the third floor.
Sure enough, he saw Feng He standing at the door, telling a few maids to do something. Xi Mo didn't want to mobilize a large number of people, so he quietly called out "Sister Feng He" a few times.
Several maids heard it and looked in his direction, but Feng He was the only one who didn't even look back.
After the maids left, Xi Mo hurried forward and said, "Sister Feng He, why didn't you respond to me when I called you?"
Feng He listened and said calmly: "Why should I bother with you? Why don't you go serve your master and come to me?"
Xi Mo didn't know what had upset Feng He, so he could only smile and say, "Good sister, I have something to ask of you. Please help me once."
Feng He sneered after hearing this: "I thought so! So you came here for something, and you and your master..."
Feng He originally wanted to make a sarcastic remark about Xie Shu, but in the end she held back.
Feng He and Lang Jun also heard that sentence just now. Who would have thought that Mr. Xie and Lang Jun were already together, but he was still thinking about his old lover? Seeing Lang Jun return to his room without saying a word, I don't know how sad I should be. At this time, Lang Jun was still in the room, so Feng He naturally didn't want Lang Jun to hear it.
Thinking of this, how could Feng He have a good face towards Xi Mo?
Feng He turned around the corner and walked to a secluded place. Then she stopped and turned back to Xi Mo and said, "Why don't you go ask your master for help if you have something to ask? Your master is almost a successful person, how can he be stumped by anything? Why did he come to us? Tell me, what do you want?"
Hearing Feng He's sarcastic tone, Xi Mo was puzzled and anxious, "I want an identity card. Please lend me one, Sister Feng He. I will return it to you when I come back in the evening. Why do you say that, Sister? You and I are both ordered to work for the master and the lady. There is no distinction between your family and mine."
Feng He sneered and shook his head at this time: "What a boring thing to say!"
Then Feng He looked straight at Xi Mo and said, "Then tell me, why do you need an ID card when you leave the house?"
Over the past three months, the entire Gu family mansion has been beautifully decorated.
The already magnificent mansion had its old things demolished and renovated again, with bright lights and noisy dancing and music everywhere.
Although they look rich and powerful, I always feel that they are a newly rich family that just spends money on things, without any trace of aristocratic family background.
Emperor Qing, however, did not care. He was fond of luxury, but he always had to restrain himself when in the capital. This southern tour was worth it.
Because he had been on the dragon boat all this time and had no rest in the morning, now that he has arrived at the Gu family mansion, Emperor Qing can finally recuperate and take a look at the memorials that he had not had time to read today.
Lu Shuo arranged the memorials together according to their category and level of urgency for the emperor to review.
Emperor Qing first showed concern for the drought. There had been no rain a while ago, and famine had occurred in many places. Now was the most critical time for rice planting. If this continued, the crops would not be harvested and the people would suffer from food shortage.
Emperor Qing handed this matter over to the crown prince to handle, also to test the crown prince's ability.
After hearing that the prince had distributed relief grain and reduced local taxes, Emperor Qing nodded without making any comments.
Next, there is the issue of the river.
The drought has not been over for long, but the rain has come again. This kind of imbalance between drought and flood occurs almost every few years.
It won’t be long before the Yellow River bursts its banks. A few years ago, the Yellow River burst its banks at Huayuankou, and even the governor of the Yellow River was killed in the flood, and countless people were killed and injured.
Emperor Qing couldn't help but sigh, "I have been ordering people to tame the Yellow River and widen the river channel. Every year, they tell me that there has been progress. I allocate funds every year, but the silt in the Yellow River is cleared and blocked again. It has never been completely cleared! Tell me, are they fooling me?"
Emperor Qing's words were not without purpose. The management of the Yellow River had troubled all dynasties. Once the Yellow River flooded, it was a disaster. Floods not only destroyed cities, but also plagues. It usually took several years for the people to recover.
When Emperor Qing was young, he also thought about managing the Yellow River, but over the years, the problem has not been completely solved, which made Emperor Qing feel more and more powerless.
Lü Shuo whispered to comfort him: "Your Majesty, the Yellow River has been a major problem since ancient times. The river course is difficult and the situation is difficult to reverse. The Yellow River governors who have served in the past have easily fallen into disgrace and even died here. Therefore, they dare not give it a try and most of them focus on controlling the flooding."
Emperor Qing knew the truth behind Lu Shuo's words, but he also knew that Lu Shuo had a shortcoming that he had not mentioned.
It was not easy to appoint the Yellow River governor. First of all, the governor was a fifth-rank official. To be a fifth-rank official, one had to either pass the imperial examination or be a son of a prestigious family. How much could such a person know about the river? Therefore, no innovative measures could be taken, and the only way to manage the river was to continue with the old methods.
As for the river engineers who have done some research on the river channel, they are unable to coordinate the management of the entire Yellow River. This gives Emperor Qing a headache. He doesn't know when there will be someone who can take care of both.
Emperor Qing read some memorials and soon rubbed his head tiredly. He waved his hand and asked Lu Shuo to leave.
Lu Shuo walked out of the house with his head down, and then he saw Gu Zhong waiting outside the door.
When Gu Zhong saw that Lu Shuo came out but did not summon him, he couldn't help feeling disappointed.
At this time, after Gu Zhong greeted Lu Shuo, he looked at Lu Shuo's back and saw that he seemed to be walking towards the outside of the mansion. Gu Zhong remembered something and couldn't help laughing and said, "Lu Shuo, you are going to be turned away."
At the same time, Gu Zhong was thinking in his heart that Jiang Hong was a straightforward person and would never forgive Lu Shuo. Lu Shuo must be angry because he was rejected by Jiang Hong, so how could he care about his "junior brother"? This would just make it easier for him to plot.
By the way, if the Yu family falls, the Su family can support them. Su Kai said before that he has a way to deal with Xie Shu...
On the other side, when Lu Shuo entered the carriage, a eunuch lifted the curtain for him. He paused slightly, then sat in without any surprise.
After the carriage wheels started turning, Lu Shuo lowered his head to look at the note in his hand. After a moment, he retracted his gaze.
Xi Mo quickly left the house with the ID card he had just received. In fact, at the beginning, Xi Mo was a little nervous.
He told Feng He some of the inside story without obtaining his master's consent. Will his master blame him?
But Ximo changed his mind and realized that the master was not someone else and the master would not be angry.
Moreover, if he didn't say it, he wouldn't even be able to accomplish the tasks assigned by his master, which would be putting the cart before the horse.
Besides, Xi Mo had noticed that Feng He's attitude was different. This time he was dealing with such a sensitive matter. What if he didn't explain it clearly and caused a rift between the master and the young master?
Thinking of this, Ximo could only blame his master for not being ambitious enough. If his master and her husband lived in the same room, why would he need to meddle in other people's business?
