The mansion, maids and servants of Xin Qiji in Jinan Prefecture were all in unconcealed joy, and even some maids and servants who were often in front of Xin Qiji and his wife had a more proud look on their faces.

In sharp contrast to the servants, the maid was Xin Qiji's wife Fan Ruyu. When the maids were in and out, they couldn't be happy when they watched the maids put the bright and beautiful silk and satin boxes on the table.

The things placed in front of her are all beloved items that she has never touched in many years. Whether it is the silk that feels as smooth as a girl's skin, or the jewelry that blooms with light after opening the box, it makes Fan Ruyu's heart beat violently without any effort. The irresistible temptation made her heart pound, and she wished she could wear it on her body immediately as soon as possible.

But when her fingers slightly touched the carefully crafted golden stroll, earrings and bracelets, Fan Ruyu rubbed her hands back, just like those jewellery blooming with sharp thorns, which instantly hurt her fingers.

My heart was still pounding, dazzled and dazzled. Wherever my eyes were, there were all these jewelry that could make every woman scream and irresistible.

But Fan Ruyu knew that these jewelry that made her heart tremble were indeed like sharp thorns. Once she really accepted it, it might bring unexpected disasters to her husband, and it was not impossible to destroy her family so sharply.

"Madam, the master is back." The maid next to him shouted a few times before awakening Fan Ruyu, who was a little confused, hurriedly looked at the door of the study. Xin Qiji looked at the dazzling array of items in the room, frowned slightly, and then waved his hand to signal the maid to go down first.

"Husband..." Fan Ruyu stood up to welcome him, pointed to the full items in the room, and stopped talking, "It's been three days in a row, and someone will send them every day... I really don't know what to do..."

"Let's leave it for now." Although Xin Qiji's expression was not as worried as Fan Ruyu, his frown brow could also be seen. He had no good idea for the "heart" of these visits now.

"Husband..." Fan Ruyu spoke again.

"I know, this is Shi Miyuan showing goodwill to me. But after all, he doesn't hit the smiling person..." Xin Qiji sat down and looked at the worried Fan Ruyu and said.

"But if Lord Ye knew about this, wouldn't he have some doubts? Can you explain it clearly then?" Fan Ruyu bit her lip. As a woman, these should not be the things she should worry about, but for three consecutive days, such valuable items were delivered to her home every day. This made Fan Ruyu, who has always been wise and sensible, feel flattered and uneasy, understand that the purpose of these valuable items was nothing more than the means by which Shi Miyuan wanted to win over his husband.

And once the husband really accepts these valuable items, it is equivalent to betraying Lord Ye who promoted Xin Qiji. In this way, wouldn't he lose the minimum

The conscience of being a human being.

Fan Ruyu remembers very clearly that she was rolling her eyes with her husband in Lin'an and other places back then. Not only did her colleagues sneer at the two of them because of their reorganized identity, but even some neighbors would secretly point fingers at them.

In addition, his father was an official in the Jin Dynasty, so their lives were extremely bitter and worried. Even when they went to the streets on weekdays, Fan Ruyu would pick him in the quiet streets and alleys, so she dared to go there secretly like a thief, for fear that when they met neighbors, they would point fingers at them behind their backs.

Now thanks to Lord Ye's promotion, they finally gained a firm foothold in their hometown, and even from a small official who was not valued, he has achieved the position of the current position of the comforting envoy who is respected and respected by everyone in a short time.

Zhu Xi, who had never looked at Xin Qiji at the time, became particularly valued by his husband because of the repair of the Confucius Temple in Qufu. Even now, even in the Saint Academy, Xin Qiji has a certain influence.

All of this is ultimately inseparable from one person's help, that is, Lord Ye Qingye, the governor of the North.

After all, if it were not for Lord Ye Qingye's trust and promotion, even if Xin Qiji made many contributions to the Song Dynasty court, it would be difficult for him to occupy the high position of pacification envoy in the Song Dynasty's officialdom just because his father was an official of the Jin Dynasty.

"I have already secretly written to Lord Ye. Master Shi's actions are nothing more than hoping to alienate the trust between me and Lord Ye. But I believe that Lord Ye is definitely not a person who is unreasonable. He will definitely be able to understand that all this is just a means of Shi Miyuan winning me over." Xin Qiji curiously picked up the rare inkstone. If he was not moved, it would be completely impossible.

Fan Ruyu quickly held Xin Qiji in her hand and had just held Xin Qiji in her hand. Before she could even look carefully, she snatched the inkstone, and carefully put it back into the box, saying, "This inkstone is worth hundreds of taels of silver, and those calligraphy and paintings are even more expensive. You don't really want to take these for yourself, right?"

"No." Xin Qiji looked at the scroll in the corner, and said with a hint of gaze and regret: "The current situation is quite complicated, and it is hard to describe it. The Song court has always been full of intrigue and deception, and it is a critical moment. The reason why he did not refuse at the first time is that he did not want to cause trouble to Lord Ye at this time."

Fan Ruyu looked at Xin Qiji in a daze. His husband naturally knew more than others. If Xin Qiji didn't like these four treasures of the study and calligraphy and paintings, then he would be deceiving himself. But... if the husband would betray Ye Qing because of these things, Fan Ruyu would never believe it.

But even so, she was still a little worried. After all, when she saw those silks, satin and jewelry today, her eyes were almost straightening. Her pounding heart was reminding her that if she missed this opportunity, she would probably never have the opportunity to have all this in her life.

Although she has always been indifferent to the affairs of the court, she was born in an official family. Whether she was with her father in the Jin Dynasty before she left the house, or she joined the official position in the Song Dynasty after marrying Xin Qiji.

The influence of the scene naturally made her understand what kind of impact Shi Miyuan's step-by-step pressing on Ye Qing and Xin Qiji's temptation and enticing him to the north would have on the North.

So at this time, although Fan Ruyu rarely asks about the officialdom of Jinan Prefecture on weekdays, it does not mean that she is not clear. Naturally, she is a little clearer about whether the situation in the entire northern region is difficult. As the backbone, Ye Qing is in such a difficult situation at this time.

"Mr. Ye is willing to hand over Jinan Prefecture to you to take care of, which is enough to prove his trust in you. Although Shi Miyuan is now alienating from it, I believe in your loyalty to Jinan Prefecture and Lord Ye, let alone... this is also our hometown..." Fan Ruyu's words were a little vague for a moment, but Xin Qiji understood what Fan Ruyu wanted to say.

His eyes moved from the scroll to Fan Ruyu's face and smiled, "I believe that Lord Ye, and I believe that Lord Ye believes that I will not betray him, nor will I betray the people of Jinan Prefecture. What is Jinan Prefecture like under the rule of the Jin people? What is the situation in the north now? You and I know it. If Lord Ye had not been under the pressure of the court, there would not be the peace and prosperity today, and the people would have been able to be upright, instead of living a inferior life under the rule of the Jin people. So whether it is for Lord Ye or for the people of Shandong Road, I would not have been attracted by these calligraphy and paintings."

"If you like it, you can draw it yourself. With your husband's talent, I believe it will not be much worse than those of you." Fan Ruyu's originally worried brow finally gradually let go.

She believed in her husband's character and even more so that she believed in her husband's words. Therefore, at this time, she truly put her heart in her stomach.

Xin Qiji and Fan Ruyu were uneasy because of Shi Miyuan's win over, while Yu Yunwen from Lanzhou Prefecture seemed more difficult than Xin Qiji and his wife's situation.

Unlike Shi Miyuan's smooth life, Han Tuozhou, who was born in the army, has always liked to go straight. Not many days after he arrived in Lanzhou Prefecture, he began to interfere in the affairs of the northern region in front of Yu Yunwen. Especially after most of the Xia territory was included in the northern territory, officials from various prefectures and states were appointed and removed. Because Liu Ke's army was eager to rush back to Jingzhao Prefecture, they all fell on Yu Yunwen's shoulders.

The documents on the appointment and removal of each state and prefecture were initially reviewed by Yu Yunwen. However, as Han Tuozhou gradually became familiar with the things in Lanzhou Prefecture, he began to interfere with Yu Yunwen's appointment and removal of officials in each state and prefecture.

In many cases, he would suggest that Yu Yunwen select and dismiss officials from the nearby Lizhou Road. In one day, Han Tuozhou recommended a few people for Yu Yunwen's reference, and at most, the documents of dozens or hundreds of officials were placed on Yu Yunwen's desk.

Fortunately, Yu Yunwen finally gritted his teeth and withstood the pressure from Han Tuozhou. In addition to using Ye Qing as a shield to relieve his pressure, the officials of the Song court, who were not familiar with the personnel of various prefectures in Xiazhou should also reject Han Tuozhou's suggestions on the grounds that local officials were the main reasons.
