The letter was sent by an old woman who carries a load and sells fruits at the back door of Dongping Academy every day.
There were extremely scrawled patterns on the letter, as well as a line of small words: Save it for me.
That's it, nothing else was mentioned in the letter.
Mr. Yun Cong turned the pattern upside down and looked at it horizontally and vertically, but he didn't feel familiar at all.
Hao Weifeng said: "Sir, this Yao Zide is really wicked. He has no idea that we have to dig up three feet of ground to find him."
"You are absolutely right," Mr. Yun Cong said, "Zide is a serious and steady man, but judging from his letter, there is no other explanation. He really does not know that we are looking for him."
"That's strange," said another gentleman from Songyuntang, "then why are the people from the yamen looking for him?"
"I don't know," Mr. Yun Cong folded the letter and handed it to Hao Weifeng, "Since I want you to keep it for him, just keep it."
"Then, do you want to tell the people in the Yamen?" Hao Weifeng asked.
"Since Zide can write to you and there is no danger in his situation, I'd better not say anything and let's discuss it after he comes back." Mr. Yun Cong said.
Hao Weifeng nodded: "Yes!"
Dong Yanjiang, who had followed Hao Weifeng and Xu Xi all the way, was hiding outside the courtyard. His eyes rolled around, he turned around and left, running towards the Yamen.
So half an hour later, the piece of paper was finally delivered to Zhiyu Waterside Pavilion.
Xia Zhaoyi closed the book and turned his head to look at the scholars at the door of the study.
She had asked them to write a thousand-character essay in the Yamen before, so she had an impression of them.
Zhan Ning, who led them over, re-introduced, focusing on Dong Yanjiang who was standing beside him: "This student named Dong wrote two thousand words that day."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled slightly, looked at Dong Yanjiang and said, "I love to complain and make snitches."
Dong Yanjiang couldn't tell what she meant. Isn't it a good thing for them that he took the initiative to report the real-time situation to them?
Xia Zhaoyi took the paper handed over by Zhan Ning, and when she saw the patterns on it, her beautiful eyebrows raised slightly.
Zhan Ning said softly: "Second Miss, do you recognize this pattern?"
Although the pattern is sloppy, the reason why it is so sloppy is not because of Yao Zhen’s pen, but because he did not understand the pattern deeply.
"Don't you think it looks familiar?" Xia Zhaoyi smiled and handed the letter back.
Zhan Ning looked at the letter paper up and down: "I don't think so..."
"Those swordsmen's scabbards." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Zhan Ning suddenly realized and was surprised: "Yes! It's true! Second Miss, you have such good eyesight, you can actually see this general shape at a glance!"
"Take it to Scholar Dong for review." Xia Zhaoyi smiled and looked at Dong Yanjiang.
Dong Yanjiang was sweating coldly. The girl was born with the beauty of moonlight flowers, and her smile was even more beautiful, like a flower with dewdrops in the autumn morning. However, Dong Yanjiang did not dare to look directly at her smile. He always felt that she was cunning, smart, and quite charming.
Deep meaning.
Zhan Ning handed over the paper, and Dong Yanjiang looked at it, then looked at the girl, not knowing why.
Xia Zhaoyi said: "In the two thousand-word article you wrote before, you said that Zhuo Changzong had been looking for the craftsmen in the city before his death. You said that he was holding a piece of paper in his hand. Take a look, is it this?"
Dong Yanjiang frowned: "General Ah Li, I just followed him from a distance. I didn't see the patterns on the paper."
"Then take this piece of paper and walk the same route and ask the carpenters, blacksmiths, embroiderers, and painters if it is it."
Dong Yanjiang's face turned pale: "Then, how far do I have to walk!"
"Zhan Ning." Xia Zhaoyi looked over.
"Second Miss!"
"Prepare a carriage for Scholar Dong to travel on his behalf."
"yes!"
Xu Xiyi and Hao Weifeng watched Dong Yanjiang leave with Zhan Ning and other tall soldiers, and they cursed Dong in their hearts.
"Hao Weifeng," the girl said suddenly, "your article is very good."
Hao Weifeng paused and looked up at her: "General, are you referring to my article?"
"Since you came to the world to study, all the articles you have written, including a few articles that have not been published," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "I don't like the word humility. If you have the talent, you will definitely show it."
Talent. It is ridiculous to say that one is underappreciated, either because he is not talented enough, or because of human fault. If I have great talent, I will teach everyone in the world that I have great talent, and I will not hide it or pretend to be so. Who knows how long it will take for others to know that I have talent?
?Isn’t it because of this talent?”
Hao Weifeng's cheeks turned red and he said uncomfortably: "General, he actually memorized it!"
"I may not agree with everything you said, but your arrogance is quite impressive. It is rare for one person in a hundred to have such pride."
Hao Weifeng's face became hotter and hotter, but his eyes became brighter: "Thank you, General, for your appreciation!"
"Speaking of which, I have a deep connection with your school," Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly, "In addition to the gentlemen in Beijing, after coming to Hengxiang, I also met an old acquaintance, your Mr. You Jian."
"The general actually knows Mr. Youjian?" Hao Weifeng said.
"Still very familiar." Xia Zhaoyi said, looking at Shi Guoxin, asking him to step aside, and whispering instructions in his ear.
"Yes!" Shi Guoxin responded.
Soon, Shi Guoxin came back from the study hall next door, carrying a small bundle in his hand, and handed it to Hao Weifeng.
"General, this is..."
"There are all treasures in here. Could you please do the same one day and quietly give it to Mr. Youjian for me, or put it on his desk, or put it in front of his room door. Remember, don't let him find out it's you."
The baggage is very heavy, and judging from the sound, it is filled with jewels and jade accessories.
Hao Weifeng nodded: "Yes! I will do it!"
"I would like to thank you in advance," Xia Zhaoyi said, "In order to repay you two for your hard work, I will make a promise to you in advance. Wherever you want to work in the future, I will write letters of recommendation for you."
The two were overjoyed when they heard this. After looking at each other, they hurriedly saluted: "Thank you so much, General!!"
When the two left, Xu Yinjun, who had been standing at the door, came in, looked back at their figures, looked back and said, "Dad boss, what is in that baggage?"
"Things that can scare Mr. Na met again," Xia Zhaoyi said, the smile no longer on his face, turned to look for a book on the bookshelf, and continued, "One day, it will make him worry about gains and losses, and make him physically and mentally weak."
"But if these two scholars see Mr. Nayoujian being frightened, they may not always follow the instructions."
Xia Zhaoyi paused for a moment, glanced at him, and said calmly: "It is true that one person may not be able to negotiate, but two people can discuss it, and they are smart people."
"Smart person?" Xu Yinjun pondered her words, and suddenly Xu Yinjun was shocked.
The girl is right. If you do this alone, you may stop due to a sense of moral guilt and not continue.
And even if the two of them were shaken by each other, they still had someone to recognize and accompany them. Especially, she praised one of them and promised a future for both of them.
This was the first time that Xu Yinjun saw a girl scheming people's hearts. She had always been kind in his heart. With these calculations, Xu Yinjun seemed to see another side of her.
But soon, Xu Yinjun adapted.
No matter what she is...he believes that he will be her subordinate in this life.
