Fu Qingzhu kept to herself, but her behavior surprised the Zheng family.
I originally thought that she would rely on her identity and cause some trouble in the house.
But she always stayed quiet and didn't even take the initiative to approach Zheng Wuji.
Of course, Zheng Wuji ignored her.
The days passed like this, and New Year came soon.
Zheng Wuji naturally enjoyed himself with the people. He set off firecrackers with the people in front of the government office on New Year's Eve, and only came back to rest after midnight.
Fu Qingzhu and the maid stood in front of the door, watching the fireworks.
A spark burst out in front of her, but she dodged it easily.
Aban watched coldly from the dark, he was convinced that Fu Qingzhu knew kung fu.
Ordinary women would not have such a smart figure, not to mention that day when she danced in public, Ah Ban was already aware of it.
She is a nail planted by the King of Huaiyang, and she must find a way to pull it out.
At this time, Zi Ling came over and said to Fu Qingzhu with a smile: "Aunt Fu, our girl invites you to come over."
Fu Qingzhu followed Ziling to Xu Chunjun's room. Xu Chunjun smiled and handed her a red envelope and said, "This is the new year's money for you. It's not much, but you have to comply with the customs."
Fu Qingzhu thanked him and took it, and Xu Chunjun said, "I see you like to eat corn. Have you ever lived in Jinzhong?"
"Madam, you are so considerate," Fu Qingzhu paused briefly, then smiled, "I grew up there until I was eight years old. The prince once stationed in Jinzhong, and my father was his personal attendant."
"I see that you always like to wear dark clothes, but at such a young age and with such good looks, you would look just as good in light colors.
I sent you a few pieces a few days ago, and I’ll cut you some light-colored clothes after the new year!"
"Thank you madam for thinking about it. I still have a lot of clothes that are not on my upper body. These are enough." Fu Qingzhu said.
"You are the person entrusted by the prince himself, how can I neglect you." Xu Chunjun said, "It is not your fault that my lord is indifferent to you. I know it well and will definitely give you an explanation."
Fu Qingzhu left Xu Chunjun's place as the fireworks outside were being set off.
She looked up and then turned around silently.
Xu Chunjun was hinting at her just now. She also understood what Xu Chunjun meant.
Xu Chunjun can tell her experience from her food preferences, which shows that she is a delicate and considerate person.
She told herself to wear less dark-colored clothes. Does this mean that she already knows that she is a killer?
Killers like to wear dark clothes, firstly so that they can conceal their whereabouts at night, and secondly, they are less likely to be discovered if stained with blood.
No wonder the prince said that Xu Chunjun was difficult to deal with.
When she said she would give herself an explanation, was she hinting that she wanted to turn enemies into friends?
If she really thinks that, she is too naive.
How could the prince send out disloyal people?
"Girl, what on earth is that Fu Qingzhu doing?" Zi Ling asked worriedly.
"You can't tell yet," Xu Chunjun said, "The King of Huaiyang put her here probably because he wanted to act according to his own needs."
"With her in this house, I'm always on tenterhooks." Zi Ling said, patting her chest.
"After the New Year, let Ah Ban go and check her details carefully." Xu Chunjun said, "It's best to win her over. If that doesn't work, we can only get rid of her."
After the New Year, it will be fifteenth in a blink of an eye.
Ah Ban left Chenzhou.
The Salesian Church has several more abandoned children, all of whom were born with disabilities.
Xu Chunjun asked Ziling to recruit a few women in the local area, but the previous few people were not enough.
He also drew a sketch himself, preparing to build dozens of houses in the open space in the east of the city when the weather warmed up.
Previously, the Salesian Church only temporarily occupied another house, and it was not a long-term solution.
During this period, Yao Ruowei came twice. She felt very sorry for her father giving Zheng Wuji a concubine.
But there was nothing she could do about it.
He just said to Xu Chunjun: "If there is anything I can do to help, just ask. Over at the Salesian Hall, I will do my best to help you when the time comes. You don't have to run back and forth with your big belly."
"
"Then thank you county master for taking the trouble." Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "Aunt Fu is very good and never gives me any trouble."
"I don't understand the thoughts of men." Yao Ruowei shook his head and sighed, "Maybe they only think about themselves. Like my father, he just thought that there should be more people around Lord Zhizhou to serve him, but he didn't care whether you would be happy or not."
"Actually, I think it's okay. Having one more person can really help me share a lot of burdens." From the beginning, Xu Chunjun didn't show any dissatisfaction.
Yao Ruowei is a simple person, and she doesn't think about gains and losses in her heart.
Xu Chunjun and the others came to Chenzhou with a secret order, and things like the love between children had to be put aside.
On February 2, the dragon raises its head.
Zheng Wuji designated this day as the day when the canals were opened to water.
Naturally, it was quite lively during this period.
The people cheered loudly, the river network was opened, and irrigation would not be a problem in the future.
In a few days it will be time for spring plowing, and we won’t have to rely on the weather like in previous years.
Zheng Wuji stood on the shore, looking at the flowing water, and fell into deep thought.
Mr. Wu came over and said: "Sir, if the river network is connected, the people of Chenzhou will have a good life from now on."
"Yes, food is the first priority for the people. As long as the food harvest is good and the people are not hungry, other things can be guaranteed." Zheng Wuji said with emotion.
"Master Cai was deep in thought just now. What was he thinking about?" Mr. Wu asked with a smile.
"I was fascinated by this river network," Zheng Wuji said, "We have to start weaving another network."
Of course Mr. Wu understood what Zheng Wuji was referring to, and that net was also crucial.
In early March, Ah Ban came back.
After being out for several dozen days, he did find out some things.
"Sir, madam, this Fu Qingzhu is indeed the daughter of King Huaiyang.
But I checked and found that although her father died in the army, he did not die in battle.
Instead, he took the blame for the second son of King Huaiyang and was sentenced to death.
After his death, the King of Huaiyang pretended to be benevolent and adopted Fu Qingzhu.
But he ordered his men to poison her mother to death in order to better control her to work for him."
"Is there any evidence for these things?" Xu Chunjun asked.
"I found some." Ah Ban said, "I just don't know if Fu Qingzhu is willing to believe it."
"Give me the evidence and I'll tell her," Xu Chunjun said, "I believe she is not stupid and should be able to distinguish right from wrong."
Two days later, Xu Chunchun invited Fu Qingzhu to enjoy the flowers together.
When Fu Qingzhu arrived in the back garden, Xu Chunjun sent all the servants away.
Zi Ling was worried and guarded the door of the back garden.
It took a long time to see Xu Chunjun and Fu Qingzhu coming out together.
The expressions of both people were very calm and nothing could be seen.
After enjoying the flowers, Fu Qingzhu fell ill for a few days. Xu Chunjun ordered a doctor to diagnose her pulse and prescribe prescriptions.
