Chapter 48 Are you willing?
Feng Yan hesitated a little.
She looked at Wei Xingzhen's eyes and suddenly remembered that when he left the Taiwei's house that day, he seemed to have said similar things.
——No need to call me Lord Wei, just call my name.
So persistent?
"Hello...zhen." Feng Yan called out softly.
Wei Xingzhen retreated back to his original place with satisfaction.
The two sat opposite each other, Feng Yan looked at him, "Can you tell me why now?"
"What's why."
"Why are you not ready...what are you going to prepare?"
"Because A Yan has someone else in her heart now," Wei Xingzhen answered bluntly, "I don't want to force it."
Feng Yan was stunned for a moment, "...I didn't! Don't just find a hat for yourself."
"Then what wine did you drink in Lanting last night?"
"I..." Feng Yan was speechless for a moment, "...I just wanted to taste the taste of red stew mash."
"Do you believe this?"
Both of them were silent for a while.
Feng Yan frowned, "...Wei Xingzhen, have you not put your position right?"
"On the contrary," Wei Xingzhen said seriously, "It is precisely because it is correct that I don't want to force it."
"Since that's the case, then I'll go and leave tomorrow, and I don't have to force you to-"
"A Yan can bear to give me?" Wei Xingzhen interrupted softly.
"……Oh."
Feng Yan took a deep breath and looked elsewhere.
Are you willing to give up?
"The gods are so prosperous," Wei Xingzhen calmed down. "There are still many places A Yan has never been to. Even if he is in harmony, it would be better to wait."
After a moment of contemplation, Feng Yan's eyes returned to their previous indifference. She stood up without saying a word and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Wei Xingzhen asked behind her.
Feng Yan patted her sleeves.
"I'm hungry, go for a meal."
...
That morning, Wei Xingzhen went out to the official office after breakfast as usual.
Feng Yan returned to the house alone, and soon she felt a little drowsy again. She lay on the couch until noon before she felt that she had really woken up from the wine last night.
So Feng Yan stood up and sat in the room and read as usual.
But after turning two pages, she felt angry and couldn't continue reading.
——"I'm not ready."
——"Do you believe this yourself?"
——"It is precisely because I have corrected that I don't want to force it."
——"…A Yan wants to bear to give me aside?”
Thinking of this last sentence, Feng Yan squeezed the fingertips of the page without realizing it, and heard a small sound - the edge of the paper was directly rubbed by her.
She looked at the pages that had been crushed to the damaged ones and quickly threw the book aside.
It is not suitable for reading today.
Feng Yan got up and changed her shoes and socks, and was about to go to the yard for a walk, but as soon as she left the building, she heard a familiar voice.
"Sister!" Feng Xiaoqi waved from afar.
Feng Yan was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
Xiaoqi ran closer and said with a smile, "In order to mourn the old Grand Marshal, His Majesty asked the masters of the Imperial College to have half a day off this afternoon to make time to go to the Grand Marshal's Mansion to pay tribute. I got off school early and came to see you!"
"You're the only one?"
"Fifth brother originally wanted to come, but it seems that there have been some big moves in the past few days, so he returned to the team early in the morning."
Feng Yan frowned and suddenly remembered the incident of Wei Xingzhen being called back to Xuanzheng Palace last night.
At that time, Fu Guang said that Dali Temple had made some progress on the Mingtang Underground Palace case, and I don’t know if the big moves of the Ping Yao Office were related to this matter...
Feng Xiaoqi took the flower hoe from Feng Yan, "Where are you going?"
"Go to the garden next to you to see if there is any suitable location nearby, suitable for digging a pond..." Feng Yan looked at her sister, "Do you want to come and have a look?"
"Um!"
While walking, Feng Xiaoqi looked at the yard here with emotion. Although it was completely different from the yard where his sister was in Feng's family, the style was completely the same - Feng Yan had only moved here for a few days... This efficiency was too high.
"A sister has such a big garden, so we need to strengthen security in the past two days."
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Speaking of this, Feng Xiaoqi couldn't help but be happy, "Sister has been staying at home in the morning, so I don't know... Last night, the story of Duke Zhenguo used peach blossom petals as flower greens and flowers as flowers in the morning has spread today. Now many young men and ladies in the family are collecting petals. But now, besides Yonglin by the Luoshui, there are no other blooming peach blossoms.
"So someone took risks in order to get the reward and secretly went to His Majesty's Yonglin to steal flowers this morning!"
"Are you so brave?"
"Yes, there must be a brave man under a lot of money. The flower-stealing thief was caught by the Taohuawei on the spot, but I heard that His Majesty did not punish him severely, but just sent the man to Guangde Temple to sweep the steps." Feng Xiaoqi smiled, "When I came here, I went to inquire. At this moment, it was not just the peach blossom petals that bought the price, white orchid, hibiscus, morning glory, lotus... everyone on the market was collecting it."
Feng Yan laughed, "This is not the first time this prince... has caused such a stir."
Feng Xiaoqi became curious, "What else has he done?"
"This is...it's been a long story."
The two walked under the layers of shade, and the scorching sun turned into glimmer of light on them.
"In the twelve years of Tianfu, he accidentally got a few agate pomegranates." Feng Yan said softly, "When he was hunting in May, the pomegranate flowers were in full bloom. He was afraid that others would not see how good the pomegranate flowers were in bloom, so he transplanted the branches into the wooden sill and added a few wheels under it.
"When someone is traveling, he is following his own hunting dog, Eagle, and he is leading a small wooden car with flowers, calling it "Moving Spring Threshold";
"So soon, the carpenters in Chang'an began to work all night - because every household wanted to put on a 'spring threshold' and wait for the next spring to fight flowers."
“When the spring of the thirteenth year of Tianfu, he became obsessed with cockfighting again and pulled three or five friends to set up a cockfighting club. So a rooster in the capital could be sold for hundreds of dollars;
"The following spring, he brought his friends to the mountains for an outing. Everyone sat quietly in the bamboo forest, and agreed that the falling bamboo leaves would fall into whose cup, who would drink and write poems—"
"Ah," Feng Xiaoqi suddenly reacted, "Is it the same time that he specially cut the horse's reins to watch Lord Wei walk?"
"Yes," Feng Yan nodded, "those people called it the 'Feiying Club' at that time."
Feng Xiaoqi finally understood.
"So, I have heard of this prince's name for a long time... a strange man."
...
In a conference hall in Dali Temple, Ji Ran suddenly frowned and looked at Wei Xingzhen.
"Mr. Wei?"
Wei Xingzhen picked up a cup and drank a sip of tea, "What's wrong?"
"Where did we just talk about?"
Wei Xingzhen put down the teacup.
"...You learned from the interrogation that the four people caught in Chunhefang last time were all homeless people who fled to Luoyang a few years ago. In recent years, they have been rescued by Chen Qian, a merchant in the city and his subordinates, "Wuwei Pavilion".
Ji Ran leaned back slightly, held his arms with both hands, and examined Wei Xingzhen's words and deeds.
From the time he entered Dali Temple this morning, Wei Xingzhen looked careless - but he seemed to be in a good mood today, and he didn't know what was happy about it. A faint smile would appear on his face that was always expressionless from time to time.
"I can't tell, it turns out that Lord Wei is listening."
Wei Xingzhen regained his usual indifference, "Mr. Ji presided over the regular meeting and did not discuss the case with your subordinates. Why did he check if I listened to you carefully?"
