Listening to her thanks, Ning Nan frowned inadvertently, and her mood at the moment was very complicated and confused.

The carriage moved, and headed towards the city of Linhe again.

Halfway through, Ning Nan suddenly came out of the window and instructed Lu Xun, "Order someone to take your mother and Sister Jun to the command mansion." ”

Jiang Chengjia heard the title of Sister Jun from his mouth again, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but stagnate.

"Jiro... I haven't asked yet, who is the sister in front of the post house today? She finally couldn't help but ask.

Ning Nan glanced at her worriedly, and said with a normal expression, "It's the wife of the former Great Sima Wei Cao, whose name is Li Xiangjun." ”

Wei Cao's wife - Li Xiangjun?

Jiang Chengjia recalled carefully before he remembered this person.

This woman is the daughter of Dong Qingong, the maternal cousin of Empress Rouyi of Emperor Wei An, who died in the early years of Emperor Ning Nanquan's early life. At the age of fifteen, he married the great Sima Wei Cao after the ceremony. Later, Wei Cao died in the struggle for power between Emperor Wei and King Huai. Wei Cao died for Emperor Wei, and because Li Xiangjun was originally the princess of Nanyang County, Emperor Wei called her Mrs. Xiang.

She didn't expect that Ning Nanwu would have some contact with the widow of Emperor Wei's former minister, and was about to ask, but she didn't expect the carriage to stop at this point, and Ji Xianzhi said outside, "My lord, the command office has arrived." ”

Ning Nan hummed in a low voice, bent down to open the curtain, and got out of the carriage.

Jiang Chengjia suppressed the doubts in his heart and got out of the car, but heard Lu Xun scolding and scolding on the side, "This Gu An, what is An's mind?" His Majesty's decree says that a mansion will be allocated to the prince... Now this house... What is it? ”

She looked up at the room in front of her.

This is a low and dilapidated bungalow courtyard, she followed Ning Nan's footsteps into the hall, from the door to the main hall only one or two meters away, the hall is dark and damp, it is the rainy season, there is a smell of mildew inside, a few green tiles on the corridor are all set up, the ground sewage is cross-flowing, muddy.

There are ten rooms in a whole small courtyard, and the room is dark and damp without sunlight all year round, and the wall skin has long been peeled off, and the wall is uneven. The tiles on the roof are badly damaged, and if the Tianhe River bursts, I am afraid that the entire house will be flooded.

Such a dilapidated mansion is not even comparable to a post house.

Jiang Chengjia looked at Ning Nan's worried face and became gloomy a little bit, standing aside and not knowing what to say.

"Gu An, this guy... It's not true. Do you see the prince down... Can such a house be placed for the prince? Ji Xianzhi couldn't help but scold, the day before yesterday, Gu An came to visit and said that he had stabilized the command office. He also specially sent a small servant to check. The little guy clearly said that the house was good, but when he came to see it today, it was so dilapidated. There are thirty people in the whole house, and there are eleven rooms in this courtyard, how can they live there?

He couldn't get angry and said: "Lord, the old slave will go to the official mansion to find Gu An!" As he spoke, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Ning Nan's horizontal arm.

After a while, I heard him say calmly, "That's it, I want to come... This is Your Majesty's will. ”

Ning Nanwu stood in the main courtyard, stared at the two rooms in the south courtyard and said, "Uncle Ji, how much money do we have left this time?" ”

Ji Xianzhi replied: "There are about six hundred Hu left..."

"Then the two rooms in the south courtyard will be repaired and let my mother and sister Jun live. The rest of the room can be cleaned up a little. Ning Nan said worriedly, and pointed to a room in the north courtyard, "The bungalow in the north courtyard will be the master bedroom for me and my wife, and the room on the west side of the north courtyard will be used as a guest room, so you don't have to worry about roof repairs." The remaining seven rooms, one is used as a storage room, two are used as the residence of you and Lu Xun, and the remaining four rooms are for the servants and maids to sleep in one room. The cotton wool soft pillow should be distributed according to the items. Thirty-six hundredths were deducted from the tax presented by the fiefdom every month as a subsidy, so that they were all fed and clothed. ”

"My lord, Your Majesty has gone too far this time?" Lu Xun was dissatisfied.

"Where you come, you are safe." Ning Nan replied unusually calmly, as if he didn't care about such a simple environment, "Mother and Sister Jun's house is extremely important, Uncle Ji has to move faster." ”

Ji Xianzhi finally suppressed the grievances in his heart, and when he saw the lord's urging, he hurriedly nodded and responded, "The house in the South Courtyard is the best, just tidy up the inside, and it is estimated that it will be fine in the afternoon." It's just that... The house on the north side is in tatters, how do you rest, my lord? You still have injuries on your body. ”

Ning Nan ignored it, pulled Jiang Chengjia and walked to the north house.

Before Ji Xianzhi could ask, he heard the little guy in front of the door call, "Lord Ji, Mrs. Xiang and Mrs. Cao have arrived." ”

Immediately afterwards, I heard a delicate exclamation from outside, "Ah! How could this mansion be so shabby? ”

He turned his head to take a look and saw Cao Xiu and Li Xiangjun standing in front of the threshold, frowning with long willow eyebrows, staring at the dilapidated mansion in front of him with an incredible expression.

So he hurriedly caught up, stepped over the threshold, and slowly walked in with the weak Cao Xiu.

"Didn't you say that Your Majesty set aside a mansion as a bungalow? How did it come to this? Cao Xiu frowned and questioned Ji Xian.

"The lord said... This is what Your Majesty means. Ji Xianzhi said helplessly. 596

Cao Xiu was silent for a moment, and there was some disgust in her beautiful eyes, "I'm afraid it's not just Your Majesty's meaning." ”

Ji Xianzhi was immediately stunned, knowing who Cao Xiuyan was, and was speechless.

Li Xiangjun on the side comforted him when he saw this, "Auntie, this house is indeed a little shabby, but it is not necessarily a bad thing for Brother Zhao." ”

Cao Xiu looked sideways and said in surprise: "Yushuang still sees something good from it?" ”

"Brother Zhao is now staring at thousands of pairs of eyes, for fear of making a mistake. Living in such a humble mansion seems that he is not public, and it is indeed with holy will to come to He to quell the rebellion here. ”

Her words are indeed reasonable, and the Cao family is a little more comfortable in her heart, and she is not so disgusted here.

"It's still more transparent. Let's just live like this. Cao Xiu patted Li Xiangjun's hand that had been holding her arm, and said gently.

Li Xiangjun smiled affectionately, looked around and found Ning Nan's worrying figure, and when he came down, there was no one around, so he said strangely, "Uncle Ji, where is Brother Zhao?" ”

Ji Xianzhi replied: "The lord and the young lady went to the North Courtyard. ”

Li Xiangjun was stunned for a moment, his face became strange, and he smiled and said, "Blame me, I always think that Brother Zhao is not married, but I forget that there is a little lady by his side." ”

"Auntie, shall I accompany you to the house first?" She glanced at the southern courtyard, and put her arms around Cao Xiu's arm with a calm expression and smiled gently.

In the north courtyard at this time, Jiang Chengjia and Ning Nan stood in front of a tattered and leaky room and looked at it, feeling a little worried.

He looked at the little girl beside him who was stunned, and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Aromo frightened by the dilapidated nature of this house?" ”

Jiang Chengjia was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Not really, in the past, I traveled with my brother from south to north, wandering around, and lived in many such houses... There was no fright. I'm just weird... Erlang is a soldier and horse commander... It represents the face of the royal family, how could it be arranged in such a place. ”

Ning Nan sneered and said, "Your Majesty has long been tired of me, and in his eyes, I am not from his own family at all." My father was a powerful regent who suppressed orthodoxy for many years. Your Majesty is fortunate that he didn't try to kill me here. ”

He held Jiang Chengjia's hand and said with a little apology, "I am sorry that you suffered here with me." ”

The little girl shook her head like a rattle, and there was a light smile in her flickering obsidian eyes, "No... On the contrary, I think it's pretty good here. Although Luoyang is rich and rich, it is not comfortable. I'm not a girl who grew up in a boudoir, and I'm used to being rough, but I think it's more kind here. ”

Ning Nan rubbed her soft hair, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I think we need to repair it ourselves." ”

He looked left and right, looked at the many old wooden planks stacked in front of the house in the south courtyard, and then went into the house to look at the air leakage on the hanging beam, and thought for a while, "It's good to ask the capable little guys in the house to come here tomorrow to repair the roof." ”

The two of them stood in the room, looking at the dim, damp foundation and the dilapidated bed and suitcase, smiled at each other, rolled up their sleeves and prepared to tidy up.

Ning Nan was worried about carrying the old dusty wooden box before he could exert himself, and he felt a little dizzy in his chest. Seeing this, Jiang Chengjia, who was working neatly on the side, hurriedly supported him, and couldn't help but scold: "Erlang don't be strong." ”

He looked at her amusedly, raised his eyebrows and said, "This suitcase is very heavy, can you move it?" ”

Jiang Chengjia puffed up and said, "Don't underestimate me, when I used to work in the farmland, I also pulled a plow. ”

The little girl puffed up, used her strength to pick up the suitcase, rushed out of the house and let it go to the courtyard, panting and standing in front of the threshold, and turned around to look at Ning Nan with some pride.

I saw the man in the high-crowned ink coat with a jade face and a handsome face, wiped his head and smiled, applauded and said, "It's really amazing." ”

Jiang Chengjia bared his teeth and grinned. But I heard Ning Nanwu laugh out loud for some reason. She froze there, overwhelmed.

"What are you laughing at suddenly?"

Ning Nan slowly walked towards her with a worried hand, pointed to the black piece on her chest and said helplessly, "Ah Luo can move such a heavy wooden box is really powerful, but why don't you pay attention to the dust on it?" Look at you? ”

Jiang Chengjia lowered his head and looked at his chest, and his snow-white clothes were stained with a layer of black things.

"Yikes! I've deliberately taken the box farther away, why is it still glued? She hurriedly slapped it with her hand. I didn't see the ash on my hand, but I photographed my clothes darker.

Ning Nan shook her head helplessly, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, untied the outer robe for her, and shook her shoulder placket twice.

Fortunately, the robe was woven with yarn, and when I shook it vigorously, the dust was dispersed, but a musty smell gushed out with the beating.

Jiang Chengjia covered his nose, and opened his little hand to cover Ning Nan's mouth and nose for worry, so as not to choke him.
