Qiao Guangyuan's matter attracted the attention of Emperor Xihe, who sent people to investigate Qiao Guangyuan.
Because everything that happened was real, we quickly found out that it was him who did those beastly things.
Emperor Xihe dropped the book, his face red and thick-necked with anger: "Qiao Yun, this old guy, did he already know this!"
How could it be possible if the son who was acting right under his nose really knew nothing? The only way to say it is that Qiao Yun may have known about Qiao Guangyuan's crime, but chose to hide it for his son.
"If you don't want to wear the official uniform on Qiao Yun, then take it off! Qiao Guangyuan beheads me, Qiao Yun will go back to my hometown for retirement, and I will not be allowed to return to the capital again in this life!"
After Xi Hedi ordered him to go down, Yan Qinghuai winked at Yan Fuguang. In such a hurry to silence Qiao Guangyuan, he must be thinking of saving Yan Xianzhi's reputation!
Yan Fuguang sighed, has this kind of thing happened rarely since childhood? Empress Xu and Emperor Xihe helped him cover up what Yan Xianzhi did.
Coming out of Changding Hall, Yan Qinghuai quickly caught up with Yan Fuguang and wanted to put his hand on his third brother's shoulder. Yan Fuguang gave him a sideways glance and he put down his hand in frustration.
If you don't let me ride with you, then I won't let you ride with me. Why are you so cruel?
"You're back. It seems things are settled in Xili?"
Yan Qinghuai sighed quietly: "It's so fast. From now on, I will spend a few months every year to check it out. Take your time, it can't be done overnight."
There are too many problems left over from the history of Xili, and it is impossible to solve them in a short while.
Yan Fuguang patted his shoulder happily: "I've still made progress. I thought you would say everything was solved."
Yan Qinghuai blushed a little. Before he experienced it, he thought of everything very simply, thinking that as long as the money was in place, there would be no problems that could not be solved. But the fact is that money is a big problem in the first place. In addition, official management, people's survival, etc. are like mountains blocking his eyes. Unless he successfully climbs these mountains, it will be difficult for Xili to reintegrate into Dayan.
"Third brother, I haven't thanked you and second brother for your help, otherwise the money would not be used on the people of Xili."
Yan Fuguang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Go and thank your second brother. He has offended many people for this matter."
Yan Qinghuai laughed loudly, thinking that his second brother's young master, who only cared about romance, was forced to be covered in the smell of copper, he felt that the scene was really beautiful.
**
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and not long after the servants finished cleaning the yard, the ground was covered with a layer of white snow again.
Lu Qing asked the small kitchen to prepare ginger soup at all times, so that the servants could drink it at any time. The ginger soup can dispel the cold and warm the body. Drinking more can resist the cold wind.
Brother Lan was carried back by the guards. It was snowing heavily and the Jinji Courtyard was full of maids and mothers-in-law. Lu Qing arranged for the guards to pick up Brother Lan after school.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, he became animated and shouted that he was going to build snowmen for his brothers.
Before Lu Qing had time to remind him, Brother Jiu and Brother Yu glanced over with their burning eyes.
She couldn't bear to spoil the children's good mood, so she said, "Let's wait until your father comes back to build snowmen. He told me that he also wants to build snowmen for you."
Yan Fuguang can be a bit childish sometimes, but it doesn't seem out of place to play with his three sons. Building a snowman is not only something Lan Geer longs for, but he is also thinking about it.
Brother Lan jumped up and down happily: "Okay, okay! Wait until father comes with us!"
Brother Jiu and Brother Yu are also looking forward to it.
The daylight hours in winter are short, and heavy snow will delay officials from returning home, so the off-duty time is moved forward a little earlier.
At Shenshi, Yan Fuguang came back.
He was wearing a long cloak, but he never liked to wear a hat. His ears were red from the cold, and his long eyelashes were still stained with snow. As soon as he entered the room, Lu Qing had someone bring him hot water to wash his hands.
"Why don't you wear a hat? What should I do if I get frostbite?" Lu Qing stood beside him holding a clean towel and rambled.
Yan Fuguang put his hand into the water to keep warm. He looked at Lu Qing with a smile in his eyes: "No, I'm not cold."
Lu Qing didn't believe it, so she stood on tiptoe and touched Yan Fuguang's ears, which were cold.
She frowned: "You lied again."
Yan Fuguang raised his hand and said with a smile: "I'm not lying to you, can you wipe my hands for me first?"
After wiping off the water drops on his hands, Lu Qing asked someone to bring another bowl of ginger soup.
The bright eyes of mother and son were all staring at him. Yan Fuguang drank a whole bowl of ginger soup under great pressure, and only handed the bowl to them for inspection when not a drop was left.
Brother Lan nodded. He imitated Lu Qing's praising tone and said to Yan Fuguang, "Drink up. Well done to you, father!"
Brother Yu cleverly gave a thumbs up, and helped Brother Jiu, who was slow to react, to raise his thumb.
After just drinking a bowl of ginger soup, it felt like he had won a battle. Yan Fuguang smiled helplessly and said, "You are children, and my father is an adult."
Lan Geer ran to Yan Fuguang and sat down next to him, and discussed with him: "When the snow gets lighter later, can you go with me to build a snowman? The big snowman I promised my brothers before."
Yan Fuguang slapped his head and said cheerfully: "Of course."
Lu Qing added faintly: "You have to wear gloves and hats before you can build a snowman."
She looked at Yan Fuguang, and it was obvious that these words were not meant for Brother Lan, who was so good that he wore a hat when told to.
Yan Fuguang admitted defeat: "Okay, okay, I'll wear it."
Most of the hats used to keep out the cold in winter are fluffy. He doesn’t like them very much, so he rarely wears them.
But if you don’t wear it, you can’t build a snowman. Yan Fuguang thought about it, it’s okay to wear it in Jinqiyuan.
The snow just fell a little, so Lu Qing watched Yan Fuguang and Brother Lan get dressed before letting them go to the yard.
Brother Jiu and Brother Yu cheered while holding the window open.
When Yan Fuguang and Brother Lan cooperated to build a row of neatly arranged snowmen in the yard, Brother Jiu exclaimed: "Wow!"
Brother Yu pressed his face against the window. Through the window, Yan Fuguang could see his slightly open mouth.
Ten snowmen were piled up, and Fang Jinbao carried in many candied haws according to Yan Fuguang's instructions.
The snowman held a bunch of candied haws in each hand, and Yan Fuguang made another big snowball, with all the remaining candied haws stuck on it.
There were their favorite snowmen and delicious candied haws. Brother Yu and Brother Jiu hugged each other excitedly.
When they saw their brother and father about to enter the house, they crawled to the couch and put on their shoes to go down to greet the candied haws.
Lu Qing followed their wishes and only warned: "Don't stand at the door. Stand closer. The wind is very cold and you will get sick if it blows."
Brother Jiu and Brother Yu stood a little further away obediently. When Yan Fuguang came in holding a candied haws in hand, they excitedly greeted him. The little girl's voice was deliberately flattering: "Father~"
Yan Fuguang handed the candied haws to them: "Eat one for each person first, dinner will be served soon."
The two little guys are very easy to talk to. They eat one when asked to eat. They are extremely well-behaved.
Seeing their good performance, Yan Fuguang felt soft in his heart.
