Facing Mrs. Wu's questioning, Lu Qingrong did not panic at all, and was about to open his mouth to explain, but Jiang Xuan took the lead.

"Madam, don't blame, that's what I mean!" Jiang Xuan's tone was quite respectful, but he didn't care about her reaction.

Mrs. Wu was even more angry when she saw him taking care of everything like this.

is clearly shielding that Lu family, and the ghost believes that this is what he meant!

The room fell silent for a while, and no one spoke for a while.

Qiu Jinting sat there leisurely, as if he was watching a play, and there was an undisguised smile on the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Ke had the heart to speak for Jiang Ke, but he was afraid of annoying his mother, so he was hesitant.

Tang Shan couldn't help but come out to help, but she spoke for Mrs. Wu: "Mother is also well-intentioned, thinking that the Hou Mansion has been gloomy these days, and I want to take advantage of today's big day to celebrate well, and I should give the Hou Mansion bad luck!" ”

There were words in this, Qiu Jinting heard it clearly, but he smiled undiminishedly, and ignored her.

Jiang Xuan didn't pay attention to it, and said directly to Mrs. Wu: "I was thinking, since everyone has never asked my father about the levy, let's just hide it all the way to the end." If the scene is too noisy, it is also a sin to startle his old man. It's better to be like now, and we will be happy in our hearts, and it will be done. ”

Happy for each?

Mrs. Wu secretly wondered in her heart, how could she be happy!

Mrs. Wu was already very angry, and was about to find an excuse to have a seizure, but at this time, the palace came with a will, and she had to give up for the time being.

Everyone hurriedly moved to the front yard to receive the order.

The one who came to deliver the decree was the father-in-law next to the emperor.

The content is not very intentional, and it is still based on reward.

Jiang Xuanmo made meritorious contributions to the northern battle, and was directly promoted to the commander of Yulinwei from the original Yulinwei.

After reading out the will, Chang Gonggong immediately added: "This is just the beginning, Mobei is victorious, rewards for meritorious deeds are indispensable, and there will be continuous rewards after that, and I hope that the prince of Jingyuan will be ready!" ”

Father-in-law Chang's attitude at this time was more easy-going and intimate than ever.

Jiang Xuan did not slack off, and hurriedly thanked him.

Looking at the royal gold that several little eunuchs were struggling to hold behind Grandpa Chang, as well as a few wooden boxes placed on the ground, Jiang Xuan felt in his heart that this reward should not be too little, and thinking of Grandpa Chang's words, he inevitably felt a little worried.

Father-in-law Chang did not stay for a long time, and after a simple greeting, he was leaving.

Jiang Xuan planned to personally send Chang Gonggong out of the mansion, and at the same time glanced at Lu Qingrong as if he was inadvertent.

Lu Qingrong comprehended, quietly took the green bamboo, and went out with Jiang Xuan.

Sent to the gate of the mansion, Chang Gonggong did not leave immediately, but took out a small carved wooden box of red sandalwood from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Xuan: "This is a piece of our family's heart, congratulations on the triumphant return of the prince." ”

Chang Gonggong's tone was steady, neither humble nor arrogant, neither condescending nor flattering.

In the box, is a small sea house to add ornaments, the outer ring is white jadeite, the inner color is much brighter, although the color is ordinary, the carving is very exquisite.

However, this gift comes second, and what matters is the heart.

Jiang Xuan, this is the second time he has received a gift from Grandpa Chang. Last time, it was through the reason of his wedding.

Eunuchs and close servants have always only entered and exited, especially when it comes to the status of Chang Gonggong, and they will not give gifts lightly.

The significance of this is even more important than the reward received today.

Lu Qingrong stood beside him, and his heart was also a lot more steady.

If the royal gifts on the bright side just now made them inevitably hang their hearts while being flattered, then the small jade ornament in front of them made them eat a reassuring pill.

Father-in-law Chang didn't say anything more, the gift was given, and he left.

Jiang Xuan then pulled Lu Qingrong back to the Yu Courtyard.

"Aren't we going back to Mrs. Wu?" After all, he was interrupted by the decree just now, and now that he is leaving, Lu Qingrong always feels weird.

"It's finally time to come out, do you still want to go back?" Jiang Xuan smiled playfully, "If it hadn't happened to be someone from the palace just now, I think she might really plan to have a seizure." ”

Lu Qingrong was the only one next to Lu Zhu, and Jiang Xuan only had Mo Nan and Yan Bei on his side, and they were not too restrained when they spoke.

Lu Qingrong nodded naturally.

"Let's go, hurry back, I have a lot to say to you!" Jiang Xuan quickened his pace.

Lu Qingrong hurriedly followed, and because there were others, he didn't dare to ask what was going on, for fear that he would say something inappropriate.

However, when they arrived at Yuyuan, they did not get their wish.

At this time, the inside and outside of the hall were far more lively than the outer courtyard just now.

The maids and ladies of the Yuyuan courtyard all gathered here, and there was a large group of people inside and outside the house.

Compared with Qinyiyuan, the joy on everyone's faces is more sincere. Seeing Jiang Xuan coming back, he immediately saluted, saying all kinds of auspicious words of happiness.

Lu Qingrong hurriedly asked Luzhu to bring over the reward money prepared in advance, and sent one or two silver per person.

Everyone thanked them for a while before they retreated.

However, the mothers-in-law outside the house dispersed, and a group of maids in the house were still waiting to greet Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan's expression was quite helpless, but it did not affect the enthusiasm of the maids in the slightest.

Especially Cai Mei and Cai Lian, who stood at the front, changed their plain faces for several months, and re-added exquisite makeup, wearing an emerald green satin dress, but it was half-new and not old.

When Lu Qingrong saw these two people, he couldn't help but be stunned.

For most of the half year that Jiang Xuan went on the expedition, Lu Qingrong couldn't see anything and almost didn't pay much attention to them.

The last time we met was a long time ago, and I found that they had lost a lot of weight, and Caimei's explanation was that they had eaten a bad stomach before they came here.

Looking at it again today, these two people have completely changed their appearance, they are extremely skinny, and they are almost close to their chests and backs!

Lu Qingrong couldn't figure out which one this came from, could it be that he was sick with longing, or ...... Crazy......

It wasn't until I saw them acting delicately in front of Jiang Xuan that I realized that this crazy estimate was not enough, but the method was a little extreme.

Jiang Xuan was originally too lazy to pay attention to them, but when he saw the strange appearance in front of him at this time, he said casually: "What's the matter with you?" Madame won't give you enough food? ”

It was a joke, but I didn't think about it, but when the two of them heard it, they had tears in their eyes, and they didn't refute it, as if they acquiesced.

What's more, the two of them also put on a pitiful look of wanting to speak and stopped, glanced at Lu Qingrong one after another, and immediately lowered their heads like frightened deer, and their grievances were vividly expressed.

It turns out that there is a trick here!

Lu Qingrong couldn't help but hold her forehead, she really didn't know what to say. Unexpectedly, these two not only wanted to pretend to be pitiful, but also planned to put themselves in the army.

Lu Qingrong naturally wouldn't explain.

Jiang Xuan didn't say anything for a long time, and his expression was still indifferent.

"Alright, since you've seen it, you guys should go down and rest!" In the end, Jiang Xuan ordered.

This was said to all the maids in the house, not just to the plum and lotus picking.

But they didn't want to, and when the maids in the house retreated, Caimei and Cailian still stood still.

Unlike just now, when they saw that this trick didn't work, they immediately put away their pitiful attitude.

Jiang Xuan frowned and looked at them, already very impatient in his heart.

At this time, Cai Mei first gave Cai Lian a look, and then she spoke: "The slave wants to ask the prince to give a comment!" ”

Jiang Xuan was silent.

Cai Mei hurriedly continued to say: "Today, when Li is just dawning tomorrow, Cai Lian and I got up early, and we happened to see the backs of two men in the courtyard, and we knew that it was the prince who came back to see Mrs. in advance. But Cai Lian said that it wasn't you, and you talked to me about this all morning! ”

"Oh?" Jiang Xuan's eyes narrowed, and his expression couldn't show joy or anger.

Cai Lian answered at this time: "It's not the prince of the world!" We have been following the prince for a long time, although it is just a back, I dare to guarantee that I am absolutely not mistaken! ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Cai Mei pretended to be excited and shouted, "Early in the morning, I appeared outside the lady's house, who else could there be if it wasn't the prince?" ”

"How do I know this, I don't see the face either!" Lotus picking does not show weakness.

The two of them are "arguing" like this, each of them does not give in to each other, and they have a posture of wanting the prince to judge.

Lu Qingrong sat on the side, leisurely playing with the handkerchief in his hand, looking up at the two from time to time.

Listening to their singing and harmony, every sentence implied deep meaning, Lu Qingrong secretly said in his heart, one after another, they didn't go on stage to sing, it was really a bit condescending.

Jiang Xuan glanced at her helplessly, seeing that she was so relaxed, most of his anger disappeared in an instant.

The two who sang the opera couldn't see the shape clearly, and when they saw Jiang Xuan's calm face, they became more and more energetic.

"I didn't see the face, you dare to talk nonsense here, you didn't tarnish the lady's name!" Cai Mei said loudly with righteous indignation.

"Those two people, one is wearing a duck blue straight jacket, and the other is wearing a royal blue, they are more than half a head shorter than the prince, just looking at the back is enough!" The more she said it, the more detailed it became.

"Alright." Jiang Xuan opened his mouth lightly, "That's really not me, it's the person I sent to deliver the letter." This argument ends here, and if I hear half a word in the future, no matter who comes out of my mouth, I will ask it directly for the two of you! ”

"If nothing else, go down too!" Jiang Xuan commanded expressionlessly.

Cai Lian believed Jiang Xuan's words and was immediately extremely disappointed.

Cai Mei was secretly happy in her heart, feeling that the prince was clearly covering up his wife's ugliness. What they said just now, the prince must have listened to it, and he was anxious to ask Mrs. Xingshi for the crime!

Cai Mei stepped forward, pulled the somewhat reluctant Cai Lian and bowed back.

Out of the hall, after Cai Mei whispered a few words, Cai Lian showed a smug smile on her face.

In the hall, only Jiang Xuan and Lu Qingrong were left at this time.

Jiang Xuan said casually: "What's the matter with these two people! I think you'd better find a chance to get out of here! ”R1152
