On the second day, the number of people visiting the peony garden did not decrease, and they promised to go to enjoy it as usual, and after listening to a few poems made by the students of Yingtian Academy, they returned early and did not stay for long.

Back in Bianjing, no one mentioned the death of Wu Niangzi.

For Bianjing, this matter is just a drop of water falling into the river and sea, with only a few ripples.

A few days later, Xu Yu got the information in advance through the new news network, and the people who knew the government had found out the cause of Wu Niangzi's death, thought about it, and went to Xiao Mansion to find Xiao Yuan that day.

This time, she did not climb over the wall to enter and exit like in the past, but took a carriage from home in a bright and bright manner, and came to Xiao's Mansion with a name post.

After handing over the name card and having a report from the porter, the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion personally went out to greet the guests.

"Little Jiang Sixteen has seen Xu Liuniang. When the butler came, he bowed his hand and bowed his promise that he would be his daughter when he was old.

Xu Yu hurriedly turned sideways to avoid Steward Jiang's salute, and said, "Steward Jiang is very polite, it is really an honor for Liu Niang to come in person, how can I accept your courtesy." ”

Steward Jiang is a little fat, about forty years old, and he is also very particular about dressing, and people who don't know will probably think that it is the master of which family when he sees it.

"Sixth lady, this is the case, what do we have to do with it. Steward Jiang stretched out his hand to invite as he spoke, "Please here, Shiro-kun is out, I have already sent someone to invite, you go into the house and have a cup of tea, he will be back soon." ”

After listening to the promise, he secretly thought about it, and didn't think that he had anything to do with Steward Jiang, after all, the two of them had never met before today, let alone having a friendship worthy of such courtesy from Steward Jiang.

But. Listen to what he means, Xiao Yuan is not in the house?

Xiao is far away, and Steward Jiang also invited her in?

Steward Jiang spoke very affinity. Another smiling face, his mouth did not stop all the way from the weeping flower door, and he didn't say a word of promise to excuse himself, and followed him all the way to Xiao Yuan's study.

Steward Jiang stood still outside the study, and said to Xu Promise with a smile on his face: "Lady is waiting for Shiro-kun here, he will definitely come over immediately, and the tea will be brought to you immediately." ”

Promise nodded. I saw Steward Jiang patting his sleeves and running away.

She pushed the door open and entered, sitting cross-legged on the seat. Why do you think that this Jiang steward has a bit of "flattery" and relief in his smile, and his name for her has changed from Xu Liuniangzi to Liuniangzi, and he directly called her Niangzi just now. It's too familiar.

The layout of the overall courtyard of Xiao Mansion is very simple. Just talking about the scene that Xu promised to see along the way, the guards were orderly, the houses were arranged in an orderly manner, and there was no feeling of grandeur and winding paths of ordinary eunuchs, and at a glance it was the home of military generals.

The same is true of Xiao Yuan's study, there is no superfluous thing in the entire study, and there are three shelves full of books, which surprises Xu Promise a lot.

She doesn't have the habit of flipping through other people's stuff casually. I didn't touch Xiao Yuan's books, but I could see some of the titles. I can't help but wonder how he could read such a biased book.

She sat for a while, but the tea didn't come up, but Xiao Yuan came.

He strode in, holding an ink painting in his hand, and the rice paper was still a little wet, which could be seen to be a freshly made painting.

Xu promised to open his mouth first and asked, "What did you draw?"

Xiao Yuan is extremely talented in many aspects, she used to paint always similar and godless, but Xiao Yuan's paintings are very charming, and after being mentioned twice by him, her paintings are a little better.

"Narcissus, Zhu Shang told me that he had a few daffodils that grew very well, but he refused to show me until today, when he said that the flowers were almost gone, so he hurriedly pulled me to paint them. Xiao Yuan said as he showed the painting to Xu Promise.

Xiao Yuan has always said little, just to promises, he either argues with promises in a playful tone, or he talks about everything in detail today.

Because of the kiss a few days ago, he still doesn't know how to face the promise, and he uses words to cover up his apprehension.

However, he has always had a hearty temperament, but there is no unnecessary embarrassment other than apprehension, and the word restraint cannot be found from him.

Xu Yu took the painting, looked at the narcissus on it, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "It's the same as the real narcissus." She seemed to be able to smell the fragrance through a piece of paper.

Xiao Yuan's face smiled after hearing this, and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you." ”

"Didn't Zhu Shang want it?" promised to lay the painting flat on the bookcase, and fanned it with his hand to let the ink dry faster.

"If you want it, you don't have his share, don't worry about him. He thought to himself that if Zhu Shang had to do it, it would be a big deal to paint another one.

Xu Promise smiled and said, "I'll copy a painting, you give it to him, see if he can see if the painting is not from your pen." After speaking, he motioned to Xiao Yuan with his eyes to grind ink.

After a while, an almost identical picture of a narcissus appeared on the page.

When she was done, she got down to business.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "How long has it been since you subdued all the people under Zhu Shang's hands?

He knew that Xu Promise had the ability to manage Xiao Yuan's people and business, but he didn't expect that Promise had such a strong ability to receive and deal with it, you must know that the people under Zhu Shang's hands were notoriously difficult to discipline, and each one was more tricky than the other.

"It's just a few big bosses, and I can deal with it if I think of a way, but I ...... a little bit about the matter of the county lord of Jiaren" Xu promised a rare expression with a slightly tangled expression.

Xiao Yuan was frightened by her expression, and asked nervously, "But Kwai Shui is here again?"

He knew that some people couldn't get out of bed all day, and they could sweat all over their bodies.

Xu Yue's forehead was bruised, she finally waited until her aunt left, Xiao Yuan actually said that he was here again, wasn't he angry with her?

In the first two years, my aunt was irregular and the most troublesome, and she was really afraid of going out and encountering this situation.

She said in a hard voice: "No, I think, if you intervene in this matter now and set up a bureau to expose the conspiracy of the county lord of Jiaren, you can only give her a blow, but it is difficult for her to pay the due price for this, and Xu Qian will be sympathized, she will also take advantage of this to build momentum and exaggerate the matter; ”

Xu Promise has always been decisive, but she is a little hesitant in this matter, she doesn't want Xu Qian or the county lord of Jiaren to be easily let go, and she doesn't want this matter to affect the Xu family.

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he clasped his hands together, leaned into Xu Yue's ear with a smile, and said, "I have a way to get the best of both worlds, do you want to hear it?"

Xu nodded and said, "Naturally, tell me quickly." ”

Xiao Yuan smiled even more on his face, and said, "If you kiss me again, I will tell you immediately." He looked relaxed and said this lightly, but in fact he was sweating nervously. (To be continued.) )
