Gonggong Liu then said: "The slave doesn't dare, it's just seeking truth from facts!" The county lord's parents died early, leaving only Xi'er to accompany him, although there is no blood relative, but it is better than blood relative......"

Hearing this, Xu Zhilan was inexplicably surprised!

Sure enough, Duke Liu turned his head to Xu Zhao and said: "Emperor, the slave is foolish, and thinks that the county lord should take state affairs first, as for the reunion banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, the first month to the harem elders to ask for peace, New Year's greetings and other small things, let Xi'er girl replace the county lord to do filial piety, it is harmless." ”

Xu Zhao said happily: "What Gonggong Liu said is extremely true, but Xi'er'er's status is a little low. I think that the Xi'er girl heard that Yang Tao was killed, and she was willing to lead her neck to accompany the mausoleum, and her affection could touch the world. Such a faithful person should be an example! Passing on my will, Feng Xi'er is in charge of the county lord's mansion, and when Yang Tao is not in Jinling, he can act as the county lord, and all living utensils are equivalent to the county lord's treatment. ”

Xu Zhilan hurriedly said: "Father, the son of the emperor thanks his father for his grace for Xi'er!" It's just that Xi'er has no merit for me Dahua, and I deserve it! The outside world will also say that the father's reward is excessive, and it is difficult to convince the public, so please ask the father to take back his fate! ”

"As the governor of the Supervision Yuan, you will inevitably have to leave Jinling from time to time to supervise officials all over the country, and some daily etiquette needs someone to do it for you, and Xi'er will do it for you, which can be described as the best of both worlds. In order to avoid gossip from the outside world, I only seal Xi'er's official, but all expenses are paid by you Yangtao County! ”

This is to detain Xi'er and not be allowed to travel far! Not only that, but to seal an analogy to the female official of the third grade in the palace to Xi'er, this is still a lot of trouble! Xu Zhilan was so angry that he couldn't do it, and he slandered in his heart: "Xi'er is my brother's wife, she wants to spend money as she wants, she has an extra official position, but she only cares about the affairs of the county lord's mansion, and she can't get gray income. She just doesn't accept the emperor's appointment, isn't she also the second largest county lord's mansion! The only advantage is that Xi'er has an identity, and she can also be protected by guards when she goes out, and she will not cross the rules by sitting in a sedan chair. ”

"Thank you for your grace!" Xu Zhilan's aggrieved thanks.

This matter is neat, not only can you not run away, but you also have to pretend to be filial piety to share your father's worries, and if you want to spend a good year with Xi'er, you have to leave Jinling immediately to handle the case. Unconsciously, Xu Zhilan's face was full of depression.

"Yangtao, but there is still something difficult?" Xu Zhao asked Xu Zhilan with a smile.

Xu Zhilan saw that Gonggong Liu was bowing his head and snickering, so he was angry and said: "This matter is not easy to handle, and Erchen is indeed a little worried!" It's really 'how sad you can be, just like a group of eunuchs going up to the Qinglou!' ’”

Gonggong Liu's face turned green when he heard this, and he didn't dare to attack.

Xu Zhao desperately held back his laughter and scolded: "Nonsense, what kind of system!" ”

Xu Zhilan hurriedly confessed and fled.

Walking out of the palace and seeing Lan Keqing, Xu Zhilan had to pretend to be happy, and told Xiang'er to go back and let Xi'er prepare for it, so as not to make the holy decree come, panic and lose etiquette.

When he returned to the Supervision Yuan again, he saw that Zhao Yun was talking nonsense with his colleagues again, Xu Zhilan ordered someone to call him over and ordered him to go to the Western Regions border tomorrow to investigate the case.

Zhao Yun saw that Xu Zhilan's face was not very good-looking, and he wondered in his heart, could it be that he didn't get any benefits and was going to the border to kill people! Although it is risky, it is also an opportunity to make meritorious contributions. The point is, the county lord ordered, he can't go if he doesn't want to!

Thinking that he had promised to promote Chen Jinhong, Xu Zhilan sent a letter to Chen's mansion and asked if Chen Jinhong was injured? If it's easy to move, let him lead the team to the border of the Western Regions.

Although Chen Shangshu felt that this was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, he was worried that something would happen; If you don't agree and don't give face to the county lord, how can you say that the county lord is also promoted! Reluctant that the child couldn't trap the wolf, Chen Shangshu was ruthless and agreed.

Xu Zhao considered that Qin Yougui's problem was a bit serious, and after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that Xu Zhilan went over directly, and maybe he would force Qin Yougui to raise his flag and rebel, and then it would be a big trouble! So, while giving Xi'er an official, Xu Zhao issued an order to Xu Zhilan, saying that the frontier soldiers were hard, and ordered the lord of Yangtao County to go to the emperor on behalf of the emperor to comfort the soldiers of Lingyun, the Western Regions and other border passes.

Concubine Yue still knows the emperor very well, and she knows that the emperor is going to do something to Qin Yougui!

Princess Ziyang came to the Yangtao County Lord's Mansion at noon and entrusted Xu Zhilan to bring some things to her cousin Qin Yougui, and the hardship fee she gave was dozens of times more valuable than the little things she brought to Qin Yougui.

Xu Zhilan naturally understood what Ziyang meant, accepted it with a smile, and consciously handed what Zuling had written to Princess Ziyang to read.

"Please also ask Sister Lan to check carefully and prove my cousin's innocence." Princess Ziyang looked at Xu Zhilan and whispered, her voice trembling a little.

Xu Zhilan took a sip of tea and was silent for a few minutes, and when Princess Ziyang felt that she was almost too cold to bear, he said: "This county lord just wants to live a free life, and he doesn't want to get involved in other people's affairs, and he doesn't want others to interfere in his affairs. Such a bad thing as being a matchmaker for the county lord makes the county lord unhappy, and the consequences are very serious! ”

Princess Ziyang instantly understood, secretly blaming the mother concubine for being troublesome! hurriedly said goodbye and left, returned to Funing Palace, and reported the matter to Concubine Yue.

"It turns out that the county lord of Yangtao sent someone to check Qin Yougui's character! I should have known that I should have introduced a child of the Qin family with excellent character! Concubine Yue was a little annoyed that she had chosen the wrong object.

"Mother, don't worry about Sister Lan's lifelong affairs in the future! lest Sister Lan find out something bad and cause big trouble! Princess Ziyang reminded.

Concubine Yue shivered and said, "The concubine is just talking casually." ”

Let's say that the emperor is very kind to Xu Zhilan, and he promoted Xi'er to be a member of the third grade, although the expenses are all from Yangtao County, but the identity has been raised. This promotion speed is several times more ferocious than Xu Zhilan's back then, and the key is that Xi'er, a member of the third grade, can enjoy the treatment of the county lord, such as eating at the same table, and people have to let her sit at the table! Coupled with Xu Zhilan's love for Xi'er, even a blind man can see it! The effect of stammering is similar to that of stammering. Not half an hour after Xi'er received the holy decree, all kinds of congratulatory gifts from the ministers were sent to Xi'er one after another!

The emperor didn't give out a tael of silver, and sealed Xi'er'er's official, Xu Zhilan had to bring Xi'er to thank him!

Thinking that he would have to comfort the border soldiers the next day, Xu Zhilan took Xi'er to the palace overnight, thanking him at the same time, he also wanted Xi'er to stay in the palace for one night, and he had a good time, maybe he wouldn't have this opportunity in the future.

Xu Zhilan wanted to save money and run away with Xi'er and be a wealthy couple in the hidden world, so the county lord's mansion in Yangtao County was only large-scale, but it was not luxurious. When Xi'er first arrived at the Jinling County Lord's Mansion, she was amazed when she saw the luxurious gate that the three of them could only touch the side hand in hand, and then saw the finely crafted pavilions and pavilions in the County Lord's Mansion, how much was she converting it to? At that time, the more I calculated, the more frightened I became, and the more I calculated, the more I felt pity, and I was a good seller with Xu Zhilan! Now that she walked in the palace, Xi'er found that there was no bright spot in the Jinling County Lord's Mansion!
