Chapter 10: Jin Yiwei

After Xi Fuwei heard this, it was as if a drowning man had met a life-saving straw, and she couldn't even remember why there was a familiar voice in this strange place?
She turned around in a hurry, but saw a tall man in Jin Yi standing seven or eight steps away.
About the age of the crowning, he has a sharp face, sharp eyebrows, and a pair of sharp eyes. Although he looks at it calmly, he feels unspeakable pressure.
"Are you?" Xi Fuwei glanced at him for a while, then swam around, but there was no sign of Xi Jiao, the joy that rose suddenly disappeared, and his gaze instantly became vigilant.
"Jin Yiwei." The man's face was calm, and the three words that he uttered softly didn't just make Xi Fuwei stunned, even the stubborn woman behind her also changed her face!
The Jin Yiwei of the Kingdom, formerly the Gongwei Division personally established by His Majesty the Emperor Taizu, was once changed into a pro-jun governor’s mansion, under the jurisdiction of the Yi Luan Division. It was only when Hongwu was fifteen years old that the name "Jin Yiwei" was decided and he was in charge of prison. Has the power to patrol and arrest, under the town Fusi, with great authority.
At that time, the commanders Mao Xiang and Huan really did not live up to this power, so much so that they were frightened by the military and civil affairs of the Manchu dynasty.
Later, His Majesty the Emperor Taizu got older, and in order to pave the way for Prince Yiwen, he abandoned it in the 20th year of Hongwu.
However, today's Yongle Emperor Xu was not right in his position. After he became the throne, he used this yamen again.
In the past few years, although Jin Yiwei did not make a movement comparable to the "Sapphire Case", relying on the reputation of the predecessors, it was still enough to shock the ruling and the opposition.
Whether it was Xi Fuwei or the woman, listening to him report his family, his heart jumped, and he was instinctively on guard.
"Nephew Ling is now at the Yanzhou Sanitation Station of Jinyiwei." The man said in a flat and straightforward tone, indifferent to their reaction. "Please come to the door for a comment and end this matter."
... After a long while, Xi Fuwei looked around in a fright.
Although it is known that under the Liuguan system of the Guo Dynasty, the official ya seldom has been repaired, but the Jinyi Guardian where he is now is a bit shabby!
Xi Fuwei was very suspicious, but if there was a gust of wind blowing, the whole roof would fall down!
No longer looking at the calm person sitting in the distance, she blurted out and asked, "Dare to ask where is my nephew?", she unexpectedly gave birth to a trace of untimely admiration.
The man didn't speak, but turned his head to the school lieutenant to his side and nodded slightly.
The school lieutenant left knowingly, and soon brought Xi Jiao, who had changed into an obviously not fitting robe.
Xi Jiao’s face was shocked, but overall it was still calm. Xi Fuwei hurriedly pulled him to look around, and then asked him in a low voice. When she knew she was attracted by the woman, she suddenly turned out from behind the high wall. The two men covered his mouth and carried him away. He wanted to struggle in the middle, but was knocked out. He woke up and was in Jin Yiwei's hands.
Jin Yiwei probably checked him, because the original clothes were dirty, he also specially found a coat robe for him to change, and finally gave him some tea and cakes...but Xi Jiao was afraid of life and did not dare to eat at all. After meeting the familiar aunt, he secretly relieved. After talking about the passage in one breath, he timidly asked: "Uncle, can I eat that sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"
"You go and eat!" Xi Fuwei touched his head affectionately, and was about to continue to comfort a few words, but a light cough was already heard not far away: "Take Young Master Xi down and use sweet-scented osmanthus cake!"
The captain walked over to help Xi Jiao immediately.
Xi Jiao hid behind Xi Fuwei subconsciously.
Xi Fuwei hesitated for a moment, then pulled him out and handed it to the captain, and exhorted: "Auntie wants to talk to this adult for a while, behave, you are good, go eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake with this one... etc. See you aunt later!"
Xi Jiao was obviously reluctant, but because he was so weak since he was a child, he couldn't do savage things at the moment, so he could only go back one step at a time.
As he watched his nephew leave, Xi Fuwei turned to Jin Yiwei who had brought herself here, and was about to thank him solemnly, but the man said unhurriedly, "Miss Xi, this is not the first time this officer counts. I helped you!"
"...Are you a distant visitor to condolences to my brother?!" Xi Fuwei was startled when he heard the words, blurted out, and subconsciously asked, "Is the death of my brother really?!"
The nails were pinched into the flesh at the same time.
However, the person just laughed: "Miss Xi thought she was a young woman with a young little son Xi, how did she escape the Wen family's search and enter Yanzhou City without any risk?"
"It turns out that when our aunt and nephew escaped from Dongchang Mansion, the reason why we were able to get the road guide so smoothly, and the respectable driver's secret help?" Xi Fuwei was surprised and said, "The respect of the respected driver is really true. There is nothing to teach the little girl in return!"
The man was refreshed and said, "If Miss Xi really wants to repay her, there is no way out."
After a pause, he said again, "I heard that Miss Xi has the style of being a brother, and she is quite spiritual in calligraphy. She has a regular script. Even when Master Xi was alive, she was ashamed?"
Xi Fuwei's handwriting is really good. This is because Xi Zongwang brought up her daughter as a son without despising it; secondly, Xi Fucui is just such a younger sister, who has always loved her. For many years, neither calligraphy nor homework has been done. Less guidance; thirdly, she has a good talent, because there are few people in the family and there are many things that need her to worry about. She has always used calligraphy as one of the means to calm her mind.
Over time, his achievements in calligraphy have indeed surpassed Xi Fucui.
It's just that because there are relatives like the Wen family, the Xi family and his son have kept secrets in order to establish their own image of "reserved and dignified".
So apart from Xi Zongwang, Xi Fucui and Xi Fuwei's close attendants, no one knew that Xi Fuwei had such a specialty.
Xi Fuwei was not very surprised now that the Jin Yiwei who had been face to face with him for the first time said it. After all, after the lessons of the Hongwu Dynasty, Jin Yiwei's knowledge that he could inquire about any secrets has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Xi Fuwei was surprised that why this person mentioned this?
After all, although her writing is very good, it is only good compared to ordinary people, and it is not comparable to real people.
The identity of the person in front of you is so special, it is impossible to ask yourself for words?
"It's just smearing indiscriminately, not dare to be an adult." She answered cautiously while thinking.
The man smiled again, very amiable, but the sharpness in his eyes did not change at all. They were still so aggressive and dazzling, so that the original gentle tone seemed to have no room for change: "Xi Jia Suddenly undergoing a major change, it is really sad to hear the tears of the listener... Miss Xi is now coming to Yanzhou alone with the little son, using a pseudonym, obviously she knows it. But she doesn't know what Miss Xi plans to do next?"
"I'm just about to ask an adult for advice!" Xi Fuwei smiled bitterly when he heard the words, and secretly said: Not to mention that my nephew was almost abducted when I arrived for the first time. Where is there any plan now? Now both my aunts and nephews are drinking tea in Jinyiwei’s bathroom. Even if you have made plans before, can you still go according to your plan?
But the bitter smile returned to the bitter smile, but her mood at the moment was not very bad, and there was even a secret expectation that was quietly breeding.
"If Miss Xi has nowhere to go, how about my officer recommending an errand to you?" The person was satisfied with her knowledge and didn't go in circles, and said straightforwardly, "Zou, a big family in Jining city, is giving them these days Several ladies in the family are recruiting female gentlemen. Miss Xi Lan Xinhui has quality and has a lot of experience in calligraphy, why not try it?"
"You must know that the status of the Zou family in Yanzhou Mansion is nothing more than that of the Wen family in Dongchang Mansion!"
"Furthermore, the Zou family has a reputation for kindness. This time, hiring a female gentleman has been very rewarding...Of course Miss Xi is not short of silver for the time being, but the mother of the Zou family is generous and loves to fight against injustices. She must be in the arms of Miss Xi?"
Xi Fuwei said cautiously: "I'm afraid that the mountain girl will not get into the eyes of the mother of the Zou family?"
"Miss Xi laughed." The man smiled, but his eyes were calm and there was no smile, and said lightly, "Although the mother of the Zou family attaches great importance to the upbringing of girls, it is a far-sighted move. However, let’s ask if you can provide support today. What is the geometry of people who are studying for men? Even girls teach literacy and hyphenation to the point where they can serve as teachers. Is this the treatment that ordinary girls can get?"
"How can such a person be exposed?"
"Speaking of an unpleasant thing, only the experience similar to Miss Xi's will be the husband of their family... Such people, Miss Xi thinks there will be a lot? Even if they are too many, after they lost the protection of their father and brother, How many can go to Jining Mansion as smoothly as Miss Xi?"
Xi Fuwei guessed that he didn’t have any collusion with the Zou family, but he only had great confidence in her being selected, or that it was because she felt that she had a high chance of being selected, so she secretly protected herself from Xi Jiao. Are there any surprises in Yanzhou?
After pondering, he asked straightforwardly: "After entering the Zou Mansion...what should I do?"
The man glanced at her approvingly: "Miss Xi, do you know that your Majesty intends to reopen the canal to meet the needs of water transportation and prepare for the move to the capital of Beiping?"
"...I have heard about it, I would like to listen to it!" Xi Fuwei's heart jumped, vaguely felt that she was about to step into a big vortex!
She instinctively wanted to escape, but thinking of her father and brother, thinking of the Xi's mansion that God knows if she can go back... she abruptly suppressed this impulse, and said in a deep voice, "I would like to ask the adults for your advice!"
The man smiled and said: "In fact, there is nothing to say, nothing more than a sentence: Peiping is the land of your majesty's Longxing, and your majesty has long intended to move the capital. However, some people in the dynasty, out of various selfish intentions, always In opposition. Although I dare not refute your Majesty on the scene, he does not act in private... Your Majesty is kind and does not want to disturb the people because of this. Jinyiwei is the son of the emperor and his army, so naturally I must share the worries for your Majesty!"
Xi Fuwei was very disappointed when she heard this. She thought that if Jin Yiwei had the opposite position from Wen Jia, she would just borrow a knife to kill someone!
However, moving the capital is not only the meaning of Emperor Yongle, which is also the meaning of Jin Yiwei, and she speculates that Wen Jia also approves of this move, and even has a relationship with the nobles from Yingtian Palace.
As I was depressed, I heard the man continue to say: "But your Majesty is the lord of the world, and the so-called shore of the land is not a royal minister...There are not no officials who share concerns for your majesty, and there are some who are middle officials... Hmm, I don’t know what these people think? Isn’t it okay to serve your Majesty in the palace? For things outside, your hands are stretched so long..."
He didn't continue to finish, but Xi Fuwei subconsciously held her breath and did not dare to make a sound.
The slender white knuckles were tapped on the dilapidated wooden table, and the man laughed again and said, "The canal is in the territory of the Shandong chief envoy, and there are only two important places: Yanzhou government and Dongchang Mansion."
"After Miss Xi enters the Zou's house, it is good for Haosheng to pay attention to related matters."
Just inquire about the news, don't need to do anything else?
Xi Fuwei thoughtfully, just about to speak, the man said again, "Oh, yes, in order for Miss Xi to concentrate on teaching the disciples, the officer will find someone to take care of him during this time!"
This is to hold Xi Jiao as a hostage.
Although it was expected, Xi Fuwei couldn't help but said: "Jiao'er is already six years old, it's time for enlightenment!"
"Some of the children under this official's subordinates are also about the same age." The man was unmoved and said calmly, "When the time comes, we will go to school together, and we can be a company of each other."
Xi Fuwei knew that there was no way to change this, so she pursed her lips and calmed down for a long time, and said, "About Wenjia..."
"Miss Xi!" The man smiled, seemingly gentle, but interrupted her very strongly, "Miss Xi, the official thought that keeping auntie and nephew in Yanzhou city well enough to show the official's sincerity? "
The implication: secretly guaranteeing that your aunts and nephews will escape to Yanzhou in surprise, this is the benefit of letting you work ahead of time!
If you want Jin Yiwei to help you deal with Wen Jia, you must do other things next!
Otherwise, Jin Yiwei is not taken advantage of!
When Xi Fuwei heard it, she was suffocated when she had nothing to say: Since she took over, even this time Xi's family fell to the point where her father was left unattended, she has never been so passive!
From beginning to end, the rhythm is in the hands of this person.
She had no choice but to nod her head!
"Dare to ask the lord Gao's name?" Xi Fuwei resisted the urge to vomit blood and said, "My lord's favor, I can't remember it!"
The man seemed to see her true intentions, smiled, and slowly said: "Jinyiwei Yanzhou Health Center has a hundred households, and the word is young."
