Chapter 6: Epiphyllum (5)

Xie Rucheng stared at the Epiphyllum and said softly, "It took me more than a year to cultivate it, and I dared not be lazy day and night. She will surely bloom tonight." Di Renjie suddenly realized that the wonder that Li Wei was talking about was a rare flash in the pan. Around this Utan Blossom, the three of them sat in groups. Li Wei suddenly said, "Brother Rucheng, it's getting late, I'll call Jingzhi and Yu Rong over." Xie Rucheng said, "After you send them here, I will invite them to Lanxuan in this yard and sit in it and chat." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crisp laugh from Lanxuan: "Cousin, we are here." Another voice said coquettishly: "How long will it take? When will she bloom?" Xie Rucheng snorted and said, "It's soon, it's soon."

Li Wei breathed a long sigh, Xie Rucheng and Di Renjie looked at him with a funny look. In the night sky, the moon was rising higher and higher, and the mercury-like light sprinkled on the pool of water lilies, and the romantic aura of the green lotus projected onto the old mind. What a wonderful enjoyment. Unfortunately, things went against our wishes. Life always could not operate in the most perfect way, but it often went astray, bringing lifelong regrets and regrets to people.

The New Year holiday passed quickly. On the eighth day of the first lunar month of the third year of Shengli, Lord Zhou Liangkun, the Minister of the Honglu Temple who had been serving again, came to Di Renjie to visit Di Renjie, and brought Yuchi Jian, who had just been promoted to the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple. After the greetings, Di Renjie asked Lord Zhou and Lord Yuchi to go to the study to talk. When he entered the study, he deliberately left behind and quietly instructed Shen Huai for a few words. After listening to the instructions, Shen Huai immediately turned around and went out.

Di Renjie and others sat down in the study and first talked about the New Year celebration. Zhou Liangkun enthusiastically expressed his gratitude and admiration for Di Renjie. Di Renjie listened in a distracted manner, but smiled without saying a word. Then, Di and Zhou exchanged views on the future arrangements of Honglu Temple. Di Renjie also slightly congratulated Yuchi Jian on his promotion. Yuchi Jian hurriedly thanked the two adults, with fear and fear on his face.

After chatting for a while, Di Renjie changed his subject and suddenly asked, "Does Mr. Zhou know if there is any progress in Dali Temple about the case of Lord Liu Yifei?" Zhou Liangkun was stunned and said with a dry smile: "I haven't heard of any progress. The holiday has just passed, so it is probably still time for the Dali Temple to investigate the case." Di Renjie did not express his expression and turned to Yuchi Jian and asked, "Mr. Yuchi, this pavilion has entrusted you to check the tribute account book of Sifang Pavilion before the New Year, but what are the results?"

Yuchi Jian bowed and said, "Go back to Lord Di, the number of tributes from various countries has been huge over the years. Xiaguan has been busy with New Year celebrations these days and cannot take time to do a thorough investigation. He can only check the tributes and account books for the past year. It seems that there is no problem at the moment. Xiaguan has also reported to Lord Zhou. Starting tomorrow, Lord Zhou will send more people to assist Beizhi to continue the investigation." Zhou Liangkun asked with a smirk: "Di Ge, do you think this arrangement is OK? To be honest, Liang Kun has long wanted to count the tributes in Sifang Pavilion, but the workload is too large, and Honglu Temple always has more urgent matters to deal with, so it was delayed."

Di Renjie silently took a sip of tea, and said leisurely: "These things will be arranged by Lord Zhou, which is very good. This pavilion only felt from the heart that the Sifang Pavilion had a great responsibility to keep the tribute. Since Lord Zhou had made this plan a long time ago, we are considered heroes to see the same thing." Zhou Liangkun's face turned red from the grayish white, and he kept saying, "Liang Kun was ashamed."
