Feng Zhiyao took out a booklet and handed it over. Mo Xiuyao casually flipped through it and handed it to Ye Li beside him. He said, "That's pretty much it. The news … should be announced after Mo Jingqi's people arrive. Previously, you said that the people of the city wanted to hold a lantern festival to pray for Wang Fei and Shizi. Set it on the same day. When the time comes, the officials of the city will celebrate with the people. It can also be considered welcoming the emissary from the court. Also, has the new fu been built? It's not a good idea for us to always occupy the governor's fu. When the new governor takes office, we can't let him work in a civilian residence, right? "
Feng Zhiyao agreed. Mo Xiuyao's actions were clearly provoking the emissary sent by Mo Jingqi, but he liked it. He smiled as he said, "The fu has been prepared long ago. It was originally the fu of the richest man in Ruyang City. That person fled to the pass with the garrison. This subordinate ordered people to reconstruct the two courtyards on the left and right side of the fu. Although it is not as grand as the wang fu in Jing City, it is still barely livable. That fu is now in the southeast of the city center. However, according to the new plan of Ruyang City, after the reconstruction, the fu will be in the center of Ruyang City. " Naturally, there were people who had already taken care of these trivial matters. However, the Prince was in a bad mood and did not mention moving, so the subordinates did not dare to say anything. This led to the present situation. The officials who were temporarily in charge of the affairs of the city still worked in the yamen in front of the governor's fu. However, after they finished their work, they had to take all the documents back to their temporary residence. It was fine during normal times, but if it was winter or rainy, it was very troublesome to run back and forth.
"Very good." Mo Xiuyao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Have people quickly tidy up the place."
Feng Zhiyao said with a smile, "It has been prepared long ago. Prince and Wang Fei can move in at any time. However, please have Prince inscribe the words on the board of the fu. " Originally, this matter did not need to be too difficult, but now that Mo Xiuyao's title had been taken by Mo Jingqi, no one could decide what words to inscribe on the new fu. Therefore, it was better to ask Prince to do the questions himself. Mo Xiuyao didn't care at all. He said calmly, "Let's go with the Prince Ding Mansion."
Feng Zhiyao stared blankly for a moment. It wasn't the "Imperial Residence" in the capital, but the three simple words "Prince Ding Mansion". Seeing Mo Xiuyao's nonchalant attitude, it was clear that he did not care about the fact that Mo Jingqi had stolen his title. He could not help but smile and said, "This subordinate obeys."
Because of Ye Li's return, although there was no big movement in Ruyang City, everyone could feel that something was different. The common people in the city busied themselves with their lives. The soldiers stationed in the city seemed to have shaken off their previous gloominess like their masters. They appeared to be full of vitality. The entire city was thriving. Ye Li's courtyard was still unusually quiet and comfortable. The second day after Xu Qingze returned to the city, he had been caught by Feng Zhiyao to work. Xu Qingfeng and Xu Qingyan did not have anything to do. Every day, Xu Qingyan would drag Xu Qingfeng to Ye Li's courtyard. If they were not chatting, they were playing chess. Their days were leisurely and comfortable. Every time Mo Xiuyao saw this, he wanted to kick him out of Ruyang City. However, with Ye Li's words of love that day, Mo Xiuyao's mood clearly improved greatly. However, every time he saw Xu Qingyan, he couldn't help but frown.
On the chessboard, the black and white pieces were fighting fiercely. Somewhere outside the courtyard, there was also an endless battle going on. Xu Qingyan gripped a piece and said with a frown, "Li Jiejie, is this fu really suitable for nurturing a fetus? They come here every few days … "After living here for a few days, Xu Qingyan was already used to the occasional assassination attempts in the fu. Anyone who saw this every day would get used to it. Xu Qingyan could only admire the patience of these assassins. They fought and lost, but they kept fighting. It was just too annoying.
Ye Li leisurely took a sip of the white fungus soup that a servant girl beside her had delivered. She smiled faintly and said, "No matter. This fu is just too boring. It's good to be lively once in a while."
Xu Qingyan deeply agreed. Mo Xiuyao was afraid that other people would disturb Ye Li's rest. Other than Qin Feng, Zhuo Jing, and Shen Yang and Doctor Lin who treated Ye Li, normal people in the fu could not get close to Wang Fei's courtyard. If something happened in the fu, it was directly reported to Mo Xiuyao. No one dared to use these trivial matters to bother Ye Li. This was originally with good intentions, but this way, Ye Li was bored. She snorted softly and said, "Prince Ding is really petty. What's wrong with Li Jiejie going out for a walk? It's as if he's afraid that other people will take a second look. Li Jiejie is so outstanding that everyone in the world admires her. " Speaking of this, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but feel proud. There were many beautiful women in the world, but whose sister could lead tens of thousands of soldiers to fight against a strong enemy? Only his, Xu Qingyan's, sister. In the future, he would definitely marry a woman as strong as Li Jiejie.
Ye Li raised a hand and knocked Xu Qingyan on the head. She glanced at him and said, "Call me brother-in-law. Do you think Mo Xiuyao hasn't tormented you enough?"
Xu Qingyan was suddenly depressed. These past few days, he had fought with Mo Xiuyao. For the time being, he couldn't fight against Mo Xiuyao, that treacherous villain. Although Mo Xiuyao would let him win in front of Li Jiejie, behind his back, Xu Qingyan would think of ways to trip him up and use underhanded methods. Yesterday, he even slandered Li Jiejie, saying that he had taken a fancy to a beautiful girl in the city and wanted Li Jiejie to write a letter to his parents to arrange a marriage for him. If this really reached his father's ears, wouldn't he be skinned alive? His older brothers hadn't even gotten married yet. He, the youngest one, had taken a fancy to another family's girl. Liking beauty was his crime!
"Li Jiejie knows about it." Xu Qingyan was dejected. He couldn't fight against Mo Xiuyao. Now that Li Jiejie knew about it, he felt that he had lost face. Xu Qingfeng, who was watching from the side, sneered. He raised his hand and knocked on Xu Qingyan's head. "Second Brother, Third Brother already told you not to provoke Prince. You just wouldn't listen."
Xu Qingyan glared at him. "He's clearly the one who's targeting me!" Xu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows. "Then why isn't Prince targeting your Second Brother and me?" So, isn't this what you asked for? Xu Qingyan laid on the table and sighed. "Third Brother, I'm your younger brother." He really missed Fourth Brother. If Fourth Brother was here, he would definitely help him fight against Mo Xiuyao!
Listening to Xu Qingyan's chatter, Ye Li smiled and put down a chess piece. She asked, "That's right, has Third Brother been bored in the fu these past few days?" Xu Qingyan was still a child. He could find fun anywhere. Xu Qingfeng, as a grown man, didn't go anywhere in the fu. It was indeed a bit difficult for him. Xu Qingfeng smiled and said, "It's a bit boring compared to the army, but it's fine. Once you give birth to the child, I should return to the capital. Third Brother and Second Brother aren't in the capital, so Father and Mother will be worried. "
When this was brought up, Ye Li frowned and said, "Speaking of which, Second Brother is in the northwest now. Does the emperor in the capital make things difficult for Second Uncle? There's also Zheng 'er. Her wedding with Second Brother was set for last year, but now … "
Xu Qingfeng comforted her, "It's fine. If the emperor wants to make things difficult for our Xu family, he can find a reason. He won't make things difficult for Father because of this. Moreover, Father also said … that he doesn't want Second Brother to go back now. I don't know what the current situation in the capital is like. Second Brother isn't someone like Fourth Brother. If he gets involved, it'll be hard for him to extricate himself. As for Young Miss Qin … "
