Chapter 11: The Lord of Shi'an
The edict in the palace was quickly sent to the Murong Mansion, Duanyue knelt on the ground like someone else's example, as if he had taken over a treasure, and carefully took the golden holy decree in the hands of Chief Manager Gao, and he was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe.

When I saw Mr. Gao again, he was still smiling, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were unreservedly displayed. After he didn't dare to read it out lazily, he immediately helped up Yanfeng and Duanyue, without scrupling about Murong Chui, who was also kneeling. "The minions can't bear it! Lord Hou, hurry up! He turned his head sideways with a smile and spoke to Murong Trai. It's also hard for General Murong, the emperor has ordered the household department to quickly build the mansion of the Marquis of Wanhu, on the land of the Shen family's old mansion. This world still has to be done by General Murong a lot. ā
"Mr. Gao, where are you talking about?" Murong Chui laughed heartily and loudly, his eyes narrowed, and his voice suddenly dropped. "It is also hard work for Mr. Gao to come to me to announce the decree in person, and these cautions are not respectful." After that, he took out a gold ingot from his waist and secretly handed it to the head of Gao. As soon as the two exchanged eyes, they didn't say much, and calmly took it into their pockets.
Soon, the matter of the Marquis of Wanhu and the Lord of Shi'an spread outside the mansion, and the whole of Chang'an began to discuss this little-known pair of brothers and sisters. And the dignitaries and dignitaries in the imperial city couldn't hold back for a long time, and they all stretched their necks and wanted to tie their knots.
The threshold of Murong Mansion is about to be trampled on. Cuiguo watched the gift boxes one after another be sent to Duanyue's house one after another, and hurriedly retreated to Duanyue's side in surprise. "County ...... The county lord, these are all sent by the ministers of the court. She swallowed, but she still couldn't take her eyes off the shiny treasure, which was a mountain of treasures that could be exchanged for the rest of her life. However, Duanyue turned a blind eye to this, and she lay on the table, teasing the gecko she had caught from the corner.
"Huh? Is it? Duanyue asked without raising her head. The brown gecko on the poor table, which she put in a large copper basin, swirled back and forth in panic. "Then just find a place to put it."
"The county lord doesn't look at it?" Cuiguo asked again in disbelief. But Duanyue still shook her head.
"You don't have to look at it to know that it's all things that don't work, if you like to pick some and take them."
When Cuiguo heard this, she shook her head busily, and immediately waved her hand to say no. "The county lord can't help this! How dare anyone take such a precious thing! ā
Duanyue saw Cuiguo's nervous appearance, and laughed out loud. She waved at Emerald and let her go down. "You can just find a place to put it, you won't need it now." She tilted her head and thought again. "What if...... If you have something to eat, you can bring it. Cuiguo hurriedly bowed down and retreated, she couldn't help but laugh. The county lord is really a child, how can anyone give a congratulatory gift to give snacks and pastries or something.
It was not only those exquisitely packaged congratulatory gifts that followed, but also many ministers who brought their families to congratulate them in person. Not long after Cuiguo went out, she immediately strode back. The sound of clattering footsteps resounded through the quiet path leading to the courtyard of Duanyue. She panted and leaned violently against the door frame, the sound made Duanyue tremble, and the gecko in her hand cleverly cut off its tail and fled in style.
The plaything in his hand was gone, and Duanyue's face collapsed suddenly. She turned her head resentfully, staring at the emerald fruit who didn't dare to move. "What's wrong!" The obvious displeasure in his tone was about to turn into sharp arrows and pierce through the emerald fruit.
She grinned and didn't know how to appease Duanyue's emotions, and finally walked straight to Duanyue's side regardless of Sanqi Twenty-One, with a sad face. "County Lord! Many of the courtiers, rich and noble, want to see you, and are now waiting in the little garden. What can I do about this? "Cuiguo has never experienced this kind of thing, of course she will first ask Duanyue what she means. But Duanyue is a willful character, she waved her head and simply refused neatly.
"No, I don't want to go!" She was petty, but it was Cuiguo who suffered. What a good thing that is! This is the county lord, and you can't offend it. But there are princes and ministers, and they can't be offended. Cuiguo, who is really desperate, the only way he can think of is to go to Murong Chui to get an idea.
As soon as she thought of this, she immediately patted her head and ran towards the courtyard where Murong was staying.
Murong Mansion quietly suddenly increased a lot of people, some of them were wearing Murong Mansion's clothes, and I don't know where they were, but there were many people who were wearing other styles of clothes, and it was estimated that they were small servants sent by the princes and ministers. Cui Guo didn't dare to delay the time, so she hurried to the study where Murong Chui was staying, but it was empty.
"Is Miss Cuiguo looking for a general?" The person who was cleaning in the study was startled when she saw Cuiguo coming over, she looked at Cuiguo, and said kindly when she saw her so anxious. "The general went to the antechamber, as if to entertain some guests."
"Thank you!" Cuiguo could only sigh helplessly in her heart, she couldn't help herself, so she could only spread her steps and run to the front hall. This time I ran right, and I heard the sound of people in the front hall from a distance. Cuiguo slammed the door and sneakily looked into the hall. Murong Chui and Yan Feng both sat on the top seats, and the lower two rows were full of richly dressed men of all colors, and they didn't have to think about it, they must be the ones who came to congratulate.
Seeing that Murong Chui was chatting happily with everyone, Cuiguo hesitated. She was afraid that if she suddenly interrupted everyone's conversation, would the general be angry? The two thoughts in his mind were colliding wildly, and his eyebrows had been skimmed into a Sichuan shape. Suddenly, someone tapped her shoulder lightly, and Cuiguo turned her head as if she had been caught.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Xu Xiachu looking at her with a serious face, and the suspicious look in her eyes kept looking up and down. "What are you doing here?" The vigilance revealed in his tone made Cuiguo immediately lower her head, at a loss.
"I ...... I am the lady-in-waiting of the county lord. The county lord didn't want to see those female dependents, so he wanted to come and tell the general......" As soon as Xu Xiachu heard that it was Duanyue's maid, her vigilant look immediately dispersed, and her tone became gentle.
He glanced at the hall and said to Cuiguo. "You wait here, I'll go talk to the general." As soon as the words fell, he walked past the emerald fruit and walked into the house. Cuiguo turned sideways, leaned on the door again, and quietly watched the situation inside. Xu Xiachu walked to Murong Chui's side and whispered something in his ear, which should be about Duanyue. Murong Chui first frowned, then shook his head, and after he said something to Xu Xiachu, Xu Xiachu walked out of the room.
"The general said that the county lord must go if he doesn't go, and asked me to watch her from the side." Cuiguo blinked, and instantly reacted to thank Xu Xiachu.
She bowed her head and made a humble appearance. "Thank you Vice General Xu for your help." Xu Xiachu waved her hand, the corners of her mouth raised and smiled politely. He didn't say much, and walked towards the Duanyue courtyard, and Cuiguo followed behind with small steps.
The moment Xu Xia first stepped into Duanyue's boudoir, she felt Duanyue's unfriendly gaze. She first glanced at Xu Xiachu suspiciously, and then glanced at Cuiguo standing behind him, and immediately understood, and her gaze instantly returned to Xu Xiachu, and then her eyes changed to vigilance.
"Don't look at me like that." Xu Xiachu smiled at her, wanting to ease the atmosphere, but Duanyue didn't appreciate it at all. She rolled her eyes disdainfully, and turned her back to the two of them.
"I'm not going!" The simple refusal made Cuiguo sigh. She looked at Xu Xiachu for help, and saw that his expression was quite calm, without any sense of helplessness.
He looked at Duanyue's back with a smile and said slowly. "Don't you know how terrible it is for General Murong to be angry!" Duanyue's figure trembled imperceptibly with the naked eye, which happened to be captured by the keen Xu Xiachu. Sure enough, what he thought was right, the only one who could suppress Duanyue was General Murong. It was much easier to overcome the weakness after finding it, and he deliberately exaggerated it to scare Duanyue. "General Murong hates others not obeying orders the most, do you know that in the barracks, 'violators of orders will be beheaded'? But after all, you are the emperor's lord of Shi'an, and the general will not punish you, but your maid will not be so lucky. ā
"Can't I go!" Duanyue turned around angrily, she didn't want to involve others. Cuiguo finally let go of Duanyue when she heard it, and the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, and she swept the gloom on her face and thanked Xu Xiachu.
"It's still Vice General Xu who has the ability. The lieutenant will wait outside for a while, and the slave will groom the county lord. Xu Xiachu nodded, walked outside obediently, and stood with his back to the room. Cuiguo closed the door quickly, and immediately found a dress from the closet and put it on Duanyue.
Duanyue sat in front of the dresser, helplessly looking at the green fruit printed in the mirror. Her cheeks were red with joy, and the corners of her mouth were always raised. "But what am I going to say when I see those individuals?" Duanyue sighed, holding her cheeks with both hands, with a sad expression.
"The slave maid thinks...... It's just a polite sentence or two. Cuiguo thought about it, but she didn't have that experience, so she had to comfort her indiscriminately.
Duanyue looked at herself in the mirror sullenly. She didn't like this kind of crowded scene the most.
Xu Xiachu waited outside for a while, no matter how impatient she was, she could only complain in her heart. Listening to the door creak open, he naturally turned around, and saw Duanyue put on a decent dress, although he was only over ten years old, but the ornaments and cuiguo on his head were carefully arranged, and at first glance it was the appearance of a lady in the boudoir. Xu Xiachu took a step to the side and gave up the middle position. Duanyue reluctantly moved here, and he led the way.
