Han Jian came out of the yamen of the Shangting Office, and did not go back to the Dongwang Mansion Courtyard, but went directly to the place where Ning Xiuyan temporarily stayed.

When Han Jian arrived, the maid he had just found for Ning Xiuyan came over, and he was still cleaning up the yard. Because many parts of the yard have not been repaired, it looks very messy, and the maid has no way to start. Han Jian called, and several maids didn't recognize Han Jian yet, but they thought it was a general from the East Palace.

Han Jian went straight into the house, and at this time, Ning Xiuyan was still packing his things, and saw Han Jian hurriedly coming over to salute and say goodbye.

"Did you sleep soundly last night?" Han Jian sat down, this time there was hot tea, he was not polite, he poured it and drank it, and asked while drinking.

"The master is worried, and the slave family is fine. It's just that...... I'm new to some things, and I'm not used to ......"

As she spoke, Ning Xiuyan lowered her head, with a somewhat unspeakable hidden appearance.

Han Jian said: "You have a confidant maid waiting by the side at home, right?" ”

"Hmm." Ning Xiuyan nodded, looking quite reluctant to say.

After all, she was a young lady before, and there were many maids around her, all of whom had been with her since she was a child, and she knew her temperament. Now she was given to the East King by her father as a gift, and some things are different from before, even the maids she found are all new, and she doesn't even have the experience of serving people, so what's so intimate?

"It's good to get used to something." Han Jian said, "These maids, you are in charge of yourself, Your Majesty has already passed down the decree, and you will leave for Jiangdu in three days, and it is estimated that your family is also busy cleaning up now." ”

"So fast?" Ning Xiuyan listened to Han Jian's words and said casually. She immediately realized who she was. It was inappropriate to say such things in front of Han Jian, and then lowered his head again, as if he hadn't said anything.

Han Jian said: "It's not fast. Three days is enough for your family to prepare, these two days, don't go out and walk around, and wait until Jiangdu, and then you go back to save your relatives. ”

"Yes, master." Ning Xiu said with words and deeds.

Han Jian got up and took a look, and the whole room was cleaned up well. It's a bit of home. It can also be seen that this Ning Xiuyan is a woman with a blue heart.

Han Jian said: "Xiuyan, you are eighteen years old, why didn't your father choose a husband for you?" ”

Ning Xiuyan lowered her head, obviously Han Jian's question was not easy to answer.

"Now the slave family is the master's man. The master has a past with the slave family. Do you still care that much? Ning Xiuyan asked.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it." Han Jian said. "I heard that your father had the intention of sending you to the palace."

Ning Xiuyan said: "That's also my father's wishful thinking, the slave family has no intention of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, and my father has also handled the marriage of the slave family." However, my mother said that she didn't want to marry a slave family earlier, and wanted to keep the slave family by her side to take care of her parents. ”

"Oh, really?" Han Jian smiled and didn't ask any more.

Regarding Ning Xiuyan's previous affairs, he also found out after investigating.

Originally, Ning Xiuyan had the intention of getting married when she was sixteen years old, and it was not someone else who was in charge of her marriage at that time, but Yang Rui. At that time, Yang Rui wanted to set up a family for Yang Xi, and at that time he chose among Shuyuan in the capital, and Ning Xiuyan had a great chance of being elected.

If it weren't for the fact that Yang Xi was made the crown prince to be an envoy, there might still be a score. Later, when Yang Yu was in power, Ning Yuan had the intention of sending Ning Xiuyan to the palace in order to stabilize himself in the court, but in the end he did not make the trip.

"If you need anything, just tell the guards outside." Han Jian said a word, got up and left the courtyard.

Han Jian didn't go anywhere else, but went directly to Qingxu Yashe. He specially found someone to send Mrs. Luo to come to meet, he hadn't seen Mrs. Luo for many days, Han Jian wanted to find out Mrs. Luo's tone first.

Han Jian sat down on the old seat on the second floor of the Qingxu Elegant House, his surroundings were deserted, even the entire Qingxu Elegant House was also deserted, there were no pedestrians on the entire street, and the entire Luoyang City seemed to be an empty city.

After a while, Mrs. Luo's sedan chair stopped downstairs, and Mrs. Luo got down from the sedan chair and went upstairs.

"I've seen the young man." Mrs. Luo said in front of Han Jian.

"Mrs. Love? Have a seat. Han Jian pointed to the seat opposite.

Mrs. Luo didn't excuse herself, she slowly stepped forward and sat down on the chair, but she looked very restrained, after all, in front of Han Jian, she was just a subordinate. She was born in a businessman, but she was also an important figure in the old department of Xiliang, and she had a lot of people, but she didn't dare to be an enemy of the imperial court.

"I don't know why the young man is looking for a concubine?" Mrs. Love's expression was a little reserved.

Han Jian said with a smile: "I haven't seen you, Madame, for a few days, but when I come back this time, I always want to see you." Madame doesn't have to be too restrained, this king is just looking for you to talk casually. ”

Mrs. Luo smiled, her expression still very restrained. At this time, Han Jian personally poured a cup of tea for her, and she took it with both hands, but she just held the teacup in her hand.

"Madame handed over her right-hand man to the king, and now Daxiliu has done a lot of things for the king, and the king is also very grateful to Madame for your help." Han Jian said with a smile, "This time, the Eastern Wang's army entered Luoyang, and you can be regarded as a great contributor, madam." Rest assured, I will not go back on what this king promised you before. ”

"What the young man said is true?" Mrs. Luo took the initiative this time, raised her head and looked at Han Jian and asked.

Han Jian continued to laugh and said: "This king knows, madam, you learned that this king avoided you and discussed peace with the people of the West Palace, which made you feel suspicious in your heart, madam......

"The concubine doesn't dare." Mrs. Luo hurriedly spoke.

"It's okay if there's a suspicion, things can be explained. The cooperation between this king and the people of the West Wangfu is just an expedient measure, and he wants to use the people of the West Wangfu to eat the dog and the dog between the North Wangfu. In this way, it will be easier for us to pacify Guanzhong in the future, and even the old land of Xiliang. Madame rest assured, when the old land of Xiliang is restored, this king will help Madame restore the country to you, and when the time comes, the old land of Xiliang is a vassal of the Wei Dynasty, and you are the lord of this country, Madam......"

As he spoke, Han Jian patted Mrs. Luo's hand, and Mrs. Luo's eyes had some light.

In the past, when she took refuge in Han Jian, she also wanted to use the power of the East Wangfu to help her restore the country, but after all, the East Wangfu was far from the old land of Xiliang. However, in just two years, the situation has been very different, the East Wangfu has now occupied Luoyang, and also occupies half of the north, it can be said that the East Wangfu is not far from the unification of the north, and at that time, when it comes to the issue of the old department of Xiliang, as long as she can do her best, the possibility of Han Jian agreeing is not small.

"The concubine just wants to do things for the young son, and she doesn't dare to ask for anything."

Han Jian said with a smile: "How can you do things for others without asking for anything in return?" Since this king said it when he accepted you as a lady, he will not go back. Madame rest assured. However, this king also wants to remind his wife that you should stay away from the people in the old department of Xiliang, and don't get involved too deeply, so that you can get out of the matter in the future. Otherwise, it will be difficult for this king to help. ”

"The young boy is taught." Mrs. Lova bowed her head.

Most of Mrs. Luo's people are people from the east branch of the old department of Xiliang, but these people are too mixed, and they belong to the point where the dragons have no leader.

Han Jian reminded Mrs. Luo that she wanted to use her own people and not get too close to the people in Xiliang's old department. After all, it involves a power struggle, and in the old department of Xiliang, there is also this kind of power struggle, although Mrs. Luo is a person in charge of the financial power of the east branch of the old department of Xiliang, but after all, she is also a woman, and she is unpopular among these people, if she does not take refuge in the East Palace, she really has no chance to dominate the overall situation.

"Young son, there is something, the concubine wants to say to the young son." Mrs. Luo said suddenly, as if there was something unspeakable.

"Madame doesn't have to be so formal, it's okay to have something to say. This king is not a person who adheres to etiquette, I believe you should also know it, Madame. Han Jian said.

"Yes." Mrs. Luo nodded, "Actually...... The concubine has always been with the ...... of the old department of Liangguo The princess has a connection, and the concubine is ...... I want the princess to meet Her Royal Highness. ”

"Princess? You guys are in the west? ”

"Yes." Mrs. Luo nodded.

Han Jian frowned, he hadn't heard anything about Xiliang's fallen princess before. In fact, there are a lot of old nobles in Xiliang, and the surname of Xiliang Emperor is not a surname, just in the twenty or thirty years before the destruction of Xiliang, the royal family has changed several times, all between some powerful ministers and nobles, even if Xiliang changed the emperor, he has not changed the country name, after all, Xiliang is only a small country, and he does not attach much importance to the orthodoxy of the royal family.

"What's your last name?" Han Jian asked.

"The surname is Li." Mrs. Love's color is the way.

"Oh." Han Jian nodded, "That is the orthodoxy of the Xiliang royal family, speaking of which, is it the descendant of Xiaozong?" ”

"Exactly." Love's Lady said.

The orthodox imperial surname of Xiliang is the surname Lin, but after that, the Li family was also quite prosperous, and in the past 100 years, it was basically the Li family in power. It was not until twenty or thirty years ago that the royal family was replaced, and until Xiliang destroyed the country, the surname Li had already declined.

However, the usurping emperor of the old country of Xiliang did not intend to cause killing, and many of the Li clansmen were also saved. Among the people and horses of the West Liang West Branch, the Lin family is the largest and strongest, followed by the Li family. As for whether there are any of them among the people of the princess of the Li family that Mrs. Luo said, he still does not know.

"Where are the people?" Han Jian asked.

"If the young son is willing to see him, the concubine will arrange for her to come over and meet the young son." Love's Lady said.

Han Jian nodded, but looked at Mrs. Luo again and said, "Madam, it's not this king who reminded you. The reason why this king has gathered you is that he values your people very much, and after Xiliang returns to the country, are you willing to make wedding dresses for others and give up the throne? ”

Mrs. Luo's eyes flashed, and she said: "Young son, the concubine is immoral and incompetent, so naturally she can't afford to be a country in Xiliang." ”

"Why not? Or do you want to be the actual ruler of the emperor's side, support this princess of the Li family, be the empress, and you be the minister of state? ”

Mrs. Luo glanced up at Han Jian, every word Han Jian said before, she felt very novel, she was willing to devote herself to the command of the East Prince's Mansion, also because Han Jian said that he would support her to be the empress.

"Concubine...... It is not intended to be so. Having said that, Mrs. Lowe was clearly tempted. (To be continued......)
