The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

Jiang Ziyan took a mouthful of rice and said, "I went for a walk around the back mountain, and met a monk there who was collecting herbs."

"Are there monks in the back mountain?"

"Yes, but I only saw him."

As Jiang Ziyan was talking, he suddenly thought of their purpose for coming today, and asked, "By the way, have you seen Wu Yu today?"

"I saw him. He didn't bring anyone here, only a guard. I didn't dare to get too close. I saw him enter the Buddhist hall and burn incense sticks."

"and then?"

"There are too many people, if you don't see clearly, people will disappear."

"Leave so soon?"

"not necessarily."

"How do you say that?"

Lin Zhao filled a bowl of soup for Jiang Ziyan, pushed it in front of him, and said softly, "I asked the monks here privately, and they said that Wu Yu offered an ever-burning lamp to them."

"Eternal light? Isn't that for the dead?"

Jiang Ziyan still has some understanding of these things. People in the Wei Dynasty have always believed in Buddhist scriptures. After people die, they will light eternal lamps for them, which is a blessing and a prayer.

"It is indeed ordered for the deceased, but the monk does not know exactly who it was ordered for."

"Could it be his parents?"

"Impossible, his parents are still alive, so it can't be them. And although his grandparents are dead, but he grew up in Chongzhou, and his grandparents are far away in the capital, so he is not very close to them."

"If it's not his relatives, then it must be someone who is very important to him."

This ever-burning lamp can’t be lighted just for anyone, it needs year-round worship, not only sincerity, but also enough incense money, and the most important thing is to persevere over time.

It must be a very important person for Wu Yu to be able to win Wu Yu's attention and light the eternal lamp for him after his life and death.

"Well, let's go back to Chongzhou to check and see if there are any clues."

After lunch, Jiang Ziyan told Lin Zhao what happened in Houshan just now, including meeting Yuanchi.

Although he promised Yuan Chi not to tell others, Lin Zhao was no outsider to him and told him about it.

"You said you didn't see what that man looked like, but did you see the clothes he was wearing?" Lin Zhao asked.

Jiang Ziyan shook his head. He was in the cabinet at the time, and the gap in the door was too small, so he could see it vaguely.

"I can't see the style of the clothes clearly, but the hem of his clothes seems to be black."

Lin Zhao was thoughtful.

Jiang Ziyan said: "What are you thinking? You shouldn't doubt that person is Wu Yu, right?"

"possible."

Jiang Ziyan's eyes widened, and he was really speechless all of a sudden.

After a while he said: "How is this possible? Isn't he very affectionate with the eldest princess? How could he like a man?"

"What if he doesn't love the eldest princess?" Lin Zhao asked back.

"How is it possible? They all have three children, and others say that they have a harmonious relationship and a loving husband and wife."

"The love between husband and wife can also be pretended. After all, things like feelings, such as people drinking water, knowing whether they are warm or cold, what is going on, I am afraid that only the parties involved will know."

"Then, this Wu Yu is too scumbag, isn't he? Yuan Chi is only 29 this year, so Wu Yu is already [-]? There is a ten-year age difference between the two of them. With such a big age difference, Wu Yu is still old and young. !"

Jiang Ziyan said angrily as if he was fighting for Yuanchi.

Lin Zhao comforted, "Don't jump to conclusions first, this is just speculation. But judging from the few times I've had contact with Wu Yu, I don't think he's such a person."

"It's all like this, and you still speak for him!"

"I'm not speaking for him, I'm analyzing the problem calmly."

"Then you're saying I'm not calm?"

"No, I didn't say."

"You have!"

……

Lin Zhao raised his forehead, how did the topic go so far?

Jiang Ziyan stopped arguing with him, and said, "Next time I go to see Yuanchi, I'll ask if that person is Wu Yu."

"Meet by chance, he may not tell you."

"I'll find out after asking. But when you say it like this, I also feel that that person looks like Wu Yu. Because when I left, Yuan Chi specifically told me to avoid coming here on this day in the future."

"Do you want to rest for a while after eating?"

Jiang Ziyan nodded. After climbing so many steps today, he felt that his legs might ache when he woke up tomorrow morning.

In the afternoon, the two of us went down the mountain together. The scenery in the mountains was beautiful, and the downhill was less laborious than the uphill.

It was a coincidence that they arrived at the foot of the mountain in half an hour. Before the two of them got into the carriage, they saw a person coming out of the corner.

Jiang Ziyan saw that he was wearing a black robe, which was extremely luxurious, so he knew at a guess that he must be a big man.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhao nodded, walked a few steps, and greeted the man, "I didn't expect Marquis Wu'an to be so leisurely and elegant. Is this here to offer incense and pray for blessings?"

Jiang Ziyan was surprised, he didn't expect that the person in front of him was Wu Yu, Marquis of Wu'an.

He was completely different from Jiang Ziyan's imagination. Although he was 40 years old, he didn't look like him at all. He was in his early thirties.

Other men at this age have begun to develop horizontally, and they will be more or less fat, or wrinkled, or have a small belly around the waist.

But Wu Yu is not, he maintains a very good figure, only a little shorter than Lin Zhao, tall and straight, well-proportioned, and has a handsome face, no wonder the eldest princess was still an unknown person to him Fall in love with him all the time.

Wu Yu said: "Yes, I'm here to offer incense to an old man to pray for blessings. How come the son is free today?"

Lin Zhao said without changing his face: "What a coincidence, I am too."

They didn't say much after that, as if this was really a chance encounter, the two parties got into their own carriages and went their separate ways.

On the carriage, Jiang Ziyan asked: "Why did he just appear here? I remember that the man who went to find Yuanchi left very early. Couldn't that person be Wu Yu?"

"It's also possible that he delayed the time to go down the mountain because of other things."

"I didn't expect that Wu Yu came to offer incense to an old man. Could the old man you mentioned be the one who lit the everlasting lamp?"

"It's very possible. However, although Wu Yu has been a good dancer in the court these years, in fact, there are not many people who can be recognized by him as an old friend. This old man probably met in Chongzhou."

Jiang Ziyan became more and more curious. He had never seen Wu Yu before, and he only thought Wu Yu was a scumbag.But when I met him today, I always felt that there was affection in his eyes that others couldn't see.

"What kind of person do you think this person is? It's really contradictory to be affectionate and ruthless at the same time."

Lin Zhao can't quite understand it now, and can only judge when the secret guards of the palace find useful information.

The two sat in the carriage and staggered all the way towards the palace.

Here, Wu Yu returned to the Marquis Mansion after getting in the carriage, but after returning, his whole person was completely different from that in Huguo Temple. The gentleness when talking to Yuan Chi seemed to have never appeared before, and he returned to his cold and frosty appearance.

The eldest princess sat in her room and looked at the flower branches outside the window with a cold face. The delicate and beautiful flowers were reflected in her eyes, but it was a great irony.

In fact, she has been sleeping with Wu Yu in separate rooms for many years, and he has never touched her since she gave birth to a daughter.

The eldest princess's persistent enthusiasm for many years has also been worn out.She said softly: "Mommy, he went to Huguo Temple again today. After all these years, he still misses that person."

The nurse who was serving her comforted her, "Princess, don't think too much about it. So what? Only one day in a month is better than having other foxes in the house. Besides, who is he thinking about?" We all know that it has turned into a pile of loess. As for the one in the Huguo Temple, the left and right are just a substitute, and the princess cares about him, which is a waste of value."

Although she knew that Mammy was telling the truth, but on this day every month, she still felt uncomfortable like countless small needles were pricking her heart.

In front of the public, she and Wu Yu respect each other as guests, with a harmonious relationship, but the relationship between the two behind the scenes is cold and terrifying.

Princess Qingyang and her second brother are twins, and the eldest princess gave birth to this child in exchange for a deal with Wu Yu.After this time, their relationship became even colder, and Wu Yu didn't even want to say a word to her.

"Mommy, how has Qingyang been doing in the past few days? But it's still making a lot of noise?"

Since Princess Qingyang was confined at home, she could hear the sound of vases breaking from her room every day for the first few days. Last time, she said she was on a hunger strike, and she was determined not to eat unless she was let out.

But it was of no use. She was so hungry that she couldn't take it anymore. She should eat or eat.She used more than a dozen tricks and found that they were useless, so she calmed down a lot.

The nanny said: "The princess has gotten better these two days, and she no longer yells to go out. After a while, she will figure it out."

"That's good."

But would Princess Qingyang be so obedient?

Of course not, after thinking about it for a long time, she also figured it out, the previous tricks didn't work, so she could only pretend to compromise first, and talk about it after she got out.

But although she can't go out alone, she can order the guards and maids below to do things.

Isn't he just a young master who has fallen into the Marquis Mansion?How can the false title of the Marquis of Ning'an compare with the Marquis of Wu'an who hold real power in their hands?

Since Jiang Ziyan loves business so much, why not smash his place and let her get rid of her anger.

So within two days, Jiang Ziyan received the news that his shop had been smashed in many places in the capital.

These people targeted his shop very much and came directly to make trouble.

For example, in his ready-made clothing store, people didn't just smash and kick them when they came up, just took a piece of clothing and said it was bought in their store, and it broke after wearing it for a few days, but it was obviously cut by scissors, But it is not that the quality of the clothes in their shop is not good, and the speech is extremely unpleasant, which makes the shop assistants and shopkeepers very dissatisfied.

There was a conflict between the two sides who came and went, and the other party directly attacked the situation.

And his tavern, as well as the milk tea shop, all of them were smashed on the same day.

The milk tea shop is okay, the damage is not too big.But this tavern is different, the wine jar was smashed, and all the fine wine in it flowed to the ground, and all the living things were wasted.

Jiang Ziyan was very distressed, but he had no idea who he had offended.

He asked the people in several shops to close the shop first. He had to find out who did it first, otherwise he might encounter this kind of thing again when he opened the door just after packing up.

But after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure it out. Could it be the Zhao family who offended him in Tongwenguan before?

But it's been two years since that incident, and the other party hasn't picked on him again, so why did he suddenly come here to mess things up?

He sat at the table and sighed. When Lin Zhao walked in after taking a bath, he saw that he was very preoccupied.

He approached and kissed his forehead, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Ziyan told Lin Zhao the truth about the smashed shop.

"I've checked all these people. They are all local ruffians. I can't find out who is behind the scenes."

Lin Zhao squinted his eyes after hearing this, his eyes were darkened, and then he said with relief: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter. The shop will be open as usual tomorrow, don't worry about the rest."

Except for Princess Qingyang, he didn't think about this matter.

Jiang Ziyan nodded, Lin Zhao always gave him a very reassuring feeling, and he said that he would handle it, and Jiang Ziyan was relieved to leave it alone.

He was also very tired from dealing with things in the shop today, so he turned around and went to sleep.

Lin Zhao embraced him in the dark, and slowly closed his eyes.

Others only knew that Lin Zhao was the heir of Prince Rong's mansion. Because of Lin'an's achievements, he was promoted to the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry. He had a cold temper.There are not too many courtiers who are close to him. After returning to the capital for a few years, the closest courtiers to him are Yang Su and Chen Mian.

However, although the other courtiers were not very close to him, their impression of him was that he was aloof and talented.After all, Lin'an's stagnant water has been revived by him in only two years, which shows his outstanding ability.

It seems that few people know that Lin Zhao is also a ruthless person in essence.It's just that he hides well enough, and others haven't touched his bottom line, so no one has ever discovered what kind of person he is.

A few days after Jiang Ziyan told Lin Zhao about this, the group of people who had made trouble before came to the shop to apologize as if they couldn't walk.

No way, they suffered inhuman treatment last night. There were many small wounds on their bodies, but they couldn't be seen without careful identification, and they were all wounded in unspeakable places.

It can be seen that the people who attacked them were vicious and insidious.But no doubt, very effective for them.

Moreover, this door-to-door apology was very grand, the elder brother brought all the younger brothers here, apologizing and scratching himself.

Not only that, but he also said on the street that a man was a wind.The person who made them come here to smash the scene was Princess Qingyang of the Marquis of Wu'an.

They recounted what Princess Qingyang had told them in their own words, and now that it's done, the common people spread the word, and the notoriety of Princess Qingyang's domineering and pampering spread throughout the capital.

When the eldest princess knew about it, she couldn't hold back her remarks, and even the emperor in the court heard some rumors of reluctance.

Xiao Dezi beside him was the most well-informed, knowing what the emperor was interested in, he told him about it without hesitation.

Princess Qingyang smashed Jiang Ziyan's shop indiscriminately, not to mention that Jiang Ziyan was still a young man whom the emperor admired very much. His plan to build the Grand Canal was very popular with him. With an increase in income, my cousin is so inconsiderate that she dares to smash other people's business in the street.

So when Princess Qingyang in the mansion was still complacent, she suddenly received an oral order from the emperor, and she was reprimanded.

Princess Qingyang has never lost such a big person. As a group leader, it doesn't matter how arrogant and domineering she is. People always like to talk about things like reputation, but she doesn't care much.

But the emperor's reprimand is different, it will make her be laughed at by people all over the world.

It was too late when the eldest princess learned about this matter, but when she was still thinking about how to solve the matter, the emperor's oral order came down, which caught her off guard.

The eldest princess had no choice but to go to Wu Yu.

Wu Yu doesn't really love this daughter, but he will give others what they should have. Most of the time, he turns a blind eye and closes his eyes. Princess Qingyang is more and more unruly and self-willed because of this. In her eyes, it is her father doting on her. Performance.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yu did not help her this time, but asked her to go back to the house to reflect.

Princess Qingyang was very sad, but he also knew that even if he asked his father to help, it might not help.

After she returned to the room, the eldest princess quarreled with Wu Yu.

"You always get this child against your will, but it's your daughter after all. You are really so cold-blooded, don't you care?"

Wu Yu still said coldly: "I told you at the beginning, if you want a child, I will give it to you. No matter how much else there is, there will be nothing left."

No doubt the conversation fell apart.

After Jiang Ziyan learned about this incident, he once felt that it was like a wild horse running wild, and he ran so fast that he didn't know how it happened.

He asked Lin Zhao, "How did you handle this matter? Isn't the efficiency too high?"

Lin Zhao was very happy, he liked to see Jiang Ziyan's eyes adoring him, as if his eyes were full of light, which benefited him a lot.

"It's just that Princess Qingyang is the mastermind behind the trouble? I have nothing against her, right?"

Lin Zhaoben raised a smile so that his face suddenly froze. He clenched his hands into fists, coughed softly by his mouth, and said, "Well, I told you, don't be angry."

"Okay, I'm not angry."

So Lin Zhao told about the matter of Princess Qingyang blocking his carriage, and finally said: "I refused on the spot, and Chen He can testify to me about this matter."

"So this is actually the rotten peach blossom you brought in, which made my shop suffer?"

Lin Zhao touched his nose in embarrassment, "Maybe, maybe...right."

"Lin Xiaozhao, you are really charming, and you have even attracted the princess to court you in the street." These words sounded sour.

"Speak well." After Lin Zhao finished speaking, he moved closer to his ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't you know if Lin Xiaozhao is charming?"

Jiang Ziyan blushed when he heard that, shit, he was molested again!

"You sleep by yourself tonight."

This was a pure accident, and Lin Zhao had no choice but to blacklist Princess Qingyang again.

But Jiang Ziyan was not so cruel after all, he couldn't help Lin Zhao pretending to be pitiful and obedient, and finally got on the bed smoothly.

The night was as cool as water, with only the rustling of leaves intertwined with the occasional creaking and breathing sounds from the house. Even the moon in the sky was covered with a layer of tulle and shyly hid in the clouds.
