When Xiao Jiu returned, it was March.

The spring is cold, and the snow in the capital has not melted.

General Weiyuan only brought some guards into the capital, and the long street was full of people, and the cheers were deafening.

There was still thin ice hanging under the eaves of the main hall, and the palace maids standing outside the door stood shivering in the cold wind.

The palace door slowly opened, and a heavy sound came out.

Xiao Jiu got out of the carriage, and his emaciated face was a little white and sickly.

But the people around him still saw clearly that Xiao Jiu had returned safely, not died of a serious illness on the road as rumored.

The news soon reached Lee's ears.

At that time, Li laughed happily, and then recited: "Amitabha, Buddha bless, Buddha bless." ”

Cuiliu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Madam, why don't you hurry up and tell the third lady the good news?" I think she's more anxious than Madame. ”

Li nodded, his face full of joy: "These days, this girl has suffered, but fortunately, God opened his eyes and let Xiao Jiu return safely." Hey, this girl, she is still busy with business, Cuiliu, do you know why the third lady bought the Zhuangzi near the White Horse Temple? Is it to resettle displaced people? ”

The Li family was somewhat surprised, after Xiao Jiu returned safely, he would set the day when Xia Ruan and Xiao Jiu would become married. But the daughter doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and these days she is still fighting the idea of Zhuangzi at the foot of the White Horse Temple. Li didn't know what was the use of his daughter buying these Zhuangzi at this time, and the most confusing thing for Li was that his daughter actually wanted to find a new batch of long-term workers.

But that's fine.

Some time ago, many people in Los Angeles rushed to the capital, and they were hungry with nothing to do. Li Shi tried to help every time she could, but she couldn't help everything.

There are still quite a few people who are hungry.

"The third lady is a bodhisattva, she wants to give these homeless people a place to live." Cuiliu guessed, and then comforted Li, "Madam, don't worry about Third Miss, she is measured in her actions." You're finally getting a good night's sleep tonight. ”

The Li family has been worried about Xiao Jiu and Xia Ruan's family affairs these days, and they can't sleep peacefully every night.

Now that Xiao Jiu has returned safely, the big stone in her heart has also landed.

Li Shi looked at Cuiliu: "It's good to come back." You'll tell Mademoiselle later. Come and have lunch together. Also, tell the kitchen to make a few more side dishes and celebrate together. ”

Cuiliu nodded with a smile. Then he retreated.

At that time. Xia Ruan was listening to Chongli talk about Mo Yan.

Xiao Jiu and General Wei Yuan returned this time. Not only did the eldest prince panic, but even the sixth prince, who had always kept to himself, was also ready to move. But the six princes did not show too much of the obvious that he was these days. I've been selling a lot of things cheaply in private. Tang Jingxuan and Nan Ruo came and went even more frequently, and Nan Jianchun almost put Nan Ruo under house arrest again.

The limelight of the eldest prince is almost coming to an end.

Over the years, the eldest prince has not been low-key, and in many cases he is extremely arrogant. He saw himself as the only candidate for the future crown prince, which already displeased Emperor Jianguang...... completely made Emperor Jianguang angry, perhaps after the eldest prince became disobedient.

In front of the imperial power, what can the relationship between father and son be?

"Miss......" Chong Li raised his eyes, his gaze was cold, "Mo Yan actually went to find the young master of the Nan family these days, and it seems that he wants to sell all the Zhuangzi in his hand to the people of the Nan family." ”

Xia Ruan thought for a moment before speaking: "How is the reaction of the Nan family?" ”

"The Nan family doesn't seem to want to buy these Zhuangzi." Chongli was a little puzzled, these Zhuangzi were sold at a very low price, but the people of the Nan family were unwilling to accept it, it was really a strange thing, "Maybe it's the little master of the Nan family, who wants to get away with it?" ”

Xia Ruan stared at the letter in his hand and said thoughtfully, "No." ”

Nan Jianchun is the future head of the Nan family, he won't be so stupid that he doesn't understand this reason.

The Zhuangzi in Mo Yan's hand was given to Princess Qinghe by the emperor, if he bought these Zhuangzi, then the silver would naturally be given to Princess Qinghe. Recently, the regime in the capital has been in turmoil, and now that Song Enpei, the only son of the Song family, has returned, then the regime in the capital will definitely go through another baptism.

The emperor has believed in the Song family all these years and has always let the people of the Song family have heavy troops.

Therefore, ministers who are slightly smarter know how to avoid suspicion.

Princess Qinghe, she is a princess on the top, if something happens to her, Emperor Jianguang will not kill her ruthlessly.

But he is different.

Behind him is the lives of everyone in the Nan family, and he can't gamble on this.

He didn't know who Princess Qinghe was standing behind him, and if he followed Princess Qinghe on the wrong line, then the end would be doomed.

Therefore, Xia Ruan knew that Nan Jianchun would not buy the Zhuangzi in Mo Yan's hands. Although these low-priced Zhuangzi made Nan Jianchun very excited.

Mo Yan will find the Nan family, just to show her.

Her recent movements have not stopped, and Mo Yan is naturally watching it.

Xia Ruan rubbed her eyebrows, but Mo Yan's conditions were a little terrible for her.

She didn't want to get involved in the matter of Mo Yan, and she didn't want to have any contact with Princess Qinghe.

Ink is now like a colorless and odorless poison, and if it is stained, I am afraid it will pay a lot of price.

"How could it not, the collusion between the Nan family and Mo Yan has not been a day or two, Nan Jianchun is really ......." Chongli's eyes were fierce, and he seemed to hide a lot of anger, but he gritted his teeth and was still deflated. I could only say softly, "Miss, the little one thinks this person is a villain." ”

After Xia Ruan heard this, she just glanced at Chongli, Nan Jianchun was a villain, how could she not know?

Who is a businessman who is a gentleman?

Xia Ruan's eyebrows gradually tightened, as if he was thinking about how to solve this matter.

After thinking for a while, Xia Ruan said, "You continue to watch over there in the Nan family to see what they have done recently." Also, you send someone to Huai'an to watch, I should be moving when I see the people in Beixiao. ”

One is prosperous, and one is lost. If something happens to the eldest prince, the people of Beixiao will also be uneasy.

She had to be careful of Beixiao's people.

Because the people of Beixiao are very close to the Yue family, it just so happens that the Yue family is a distant relative of the Li family. Originally. The embarrassment caused by the Yue family to her and her mother is still remembered by her.

It's always good to be a little more careful.

Chongli's face was a little stunned: "Then Miss, where is Mo Yan?" ”

"Leave him alone." Xia Ruan directly interrupted Chongli's words, "I won't give him what he wants, and besides, I am not qualified to say anything about him and his cousin." It's not that my cousin didn't have dealings with him in private, and if I interfered, the third uncle would be angry. ”

After hearing this, Chongli stopped talking, he understood the meaning of Xia Ruan's words better than anyone else.

Li Changfeng of the Li family is bent on cultivating Li An as the future prince of the country. I'm afraid that Ang Lee will have an accident.

Chongli sometimes thinks about it. Ang Lee will forget those things, maybe these are the things that Li Changfeng did in private.

After all, that trip to the Western Regions was for Ang Lee. It's a bad memory.

Now. Almost everyone was hiding this from Ang Lee. Xia Ruan is no exception.

Xia Ruan once tested Ang Lee and asked him if he remembered Mo Yan? At that time, Li An showed a surprised look, obviously it was not the first person to ask Li An like this. However, Ang Lee will not lie in front of Xia Ruan, in Ang Lee's memory, there is indeed no such person as Mo Yan.

For Mo Yan, it was painful.

Chongli had seen and smelled the unique smell of safflower and lycoris on Mo Yan's body, and that smell made Chongli feel a little more pitiful when he looked at Mo Yan.

It's just, just pitiful.

Maybe Mo Yan died in that place back then, and for Mo Yan, he would be much happier than he is now.

At least, it won't be a pawn that can't help itself.

Seeing that Chongli didn't speak, Xia Ruan smiled helplessly and added, "He will come to me, no one dares to buy the Zhuangzi in his hand in the capital now." Remember not to let my cousin know about the Mo Death. In a few days, you ask Duran to send the books I prepared to the Chengguo Mansion to my cousin, so that maybe Mo Yan and him will have fewer chances to meet. ”

Xia Ruan knew in his heart that after the eldest prince left the court, the situation of the Li family would undergo some changes.

Ang Lee couldn't take his mind off his mind for these things.

She, like her third uncle, is a selfish person.

Since I've forgotten it, then I won't let my cousin think about it again.

That bloody and terrible memory, for my cousin, remembered it was a hundred harms and no benefit.

When she gets the Zhuangzi of the White Horse Temple from Mo Yan, she can take the list given to her by Xiao Jiu and arrange the people in these armies on the Zhuangzi. Only in this way may not be noticed by Emperor Jianguang.

It's just that you have to be a little more careful.

Chongli thought for a while, and before he could speak, he heard a knock on the door outside the house.

"Third Miss, the slave maid is Cuiliu."

Xia Ruan gathered his thoughts, raised his eyebrows, and received the letter in his hand. Then he said to the outside of the house, "Come in." ”

With a smile on her face, Cuiliu pushed open the door and walked in, and then blessed Xia Ruan: "I've seen Miss." ”

Xia Ruan looked at Cuiliu and was a little worried: "You will go back to your mother to serve now, the child?" Can someone take care of it? ”

Cuiliu smiled and nodded: "Someone to take care of, miss, don't worry, the child is very well-behaved." The slave and maid could not be idle, so they came back to serve the lady. ”

"Don't get too tired." For Cuiliu, Xia Ruan's feelings are naturally deeper, "Is there any good news today?" You're so happy. ”

Xia Ruan didn't say that it was okay, but when she said that Cuiliu was even happier, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Cuiliu hurriedly nodded: "Lord Xiao has returned safely, and Madame has just heard the news." God willing, let the adults return safely. Miss, Madame said to let you have lunch together, and be happy together. ”

If Xiao Jiu can return safely, the wedding date will be set soon.

As long as Cuiliu thinks of this, she feels relieved.

She has always been worried that something will happen to Xiao Jiu on the road, and she doesn't know what Miss's reputation will be like when the time comes.

Now, fortunately, Xiao Jiu returned safely.

Cuiliu looked at the innocent-looking woman in front of her, and for some reason her eyes were red.

Over the years, she has watched Xia Ruan grow up little by little, from a quiet, withdrawn and weak little girl to a big girl who is in charge alone.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, Xia Ruan has grown up and is about to get married. (To be continued......)
