He stopped persuading and stood up: "Mother rest early." On your birthday, I will personally go to my father and Mr. Deadwood to let that Miss Zhao enter the palace to paint your portrait. ”

"Okay." Seeing her son's filial piety, Cen Guifei was very happy.

She asked the palace maid to wrap the clothes she made for her son and hand them to the little sixth son, and then watched her son leave.

Xiao Lingyan returned to the prince's office, sent someone to Xiao Lingpu to say something, and then entered the Yunhua Palace where he lived.

"Master." The Imperial Guard stood up and saluted.

As soon as Xiao Lingyan saw him, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Are you back?" Have you found out? ”

"Yes." Wang Daodao, "The five girls of the Zhao family were replaced by the Wei family, and they were raised under the knees of a family surnamed Xu, and Xiucai named her Xu Xi. ”

"Xu Xi?" Xiao Lingyan stood up suddenly, almost knocking down the thing in front of him.

Cen Song said it unclearly, only said that the girl of the Zhao family was replaced by a mistake, and did not say that her adoptive parents' surname was Xu, let alone that her name was Xu Xi.

"Master, are you alright?" Xiao Liuzi, who was standing on the side, hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Xiao Lingyan ignored him, stared at Wang Tong and asked, "What's her name, do you say it again?" ”

Wang Tong didn't understand what the master meant, but he still repeated: "Xu Xi." ”

"Xu Xi, Xu Xi ......" Xiao Lingyan muttered the name, trying his best to suppress himself, but there was still a sad and happy look on his face.

He walked back and forth in the room twice, calmed down his emotions, and then said to Wang Daodao, "Okay, you can continue." ”

Wang Tong talked about the death of Xu Yongzeng and his wife one after another, and Xu Xi being taken back to the village by Xu Yongyi, and talked about it in detail until Zhao Ruxi was recently accepted as an apprentice by Kang Shilin.

When he heard that Bao Zhai had squeezed Fu Yunlang's Yulong Pavilion into a bleak business because of the design drawings drawn by Zhao Ruxi, Xiao Lingyan's expression suddenly became unpredictable.

He knew about this, and he had been to Yulon Court at that time. It's just that......

He let out a long breath as he looked out the door that had been plunged into darkness.

"Are you sure? Tomorrow morning, Miss Zhao Wu will paint in Dali Temple? He confirmed.

"Yes."

"Do you know where exactly?" Xiao Lingyan asked again.

"The villain is incompetent, and he couldn't enter Dali Temple to inquire." Wang Tong made a gesture.

Xiao Lingyan waved his hand: "You go to Suiping Bofu to keep an eye on it, and as soon as Miss Zhao goes to Dali Temple tomorrow morning, you will ask someone to send a message to me." When the time comes, you can ask her exactly where she paints. ”

"Yes."

"Alright, let's go back and rest."

After Wang Tong left, Xiao Lingyan didn't feel sleepy, walked back and forth in the house a few times, and then went out to the porch, stood in front of the hall and looked at the dark night sky for a long time, until the second watch's bangzi was knocked, and he went back to the house to rest.

……

At this time, Suipingbo's Mansion was brightly lit. Zhao Yuanxun took the holy decree that the angel had just sent, staring at the few lines of text on it, his fingers trembling slightly.

The old lady cried with joy, grabbed Zhao Ruxi's hand and said, "Sister Xi, grandmother is so happy." As he spoke, he wiped back his tears.

Zhao Ruxi was very helpless.

Isn't it just a holy decree? It's not that I haven't taken it. Although the last time I received the holy decree of demotion and boarding, it was a little different from this time. But it's all holy decrees, right?

She was not made an official, and she was not rewarded. Although the decree says that each church will give her a reward of 1,500 taels, isn't that what she should do? She taught Zhou Wenbai that they also received three thousand taels of silver.

"Sister Xi, you don't know, except for the last time, our Suiping Bofu received such a holy decree when your grandfather was young. I haven't received a decree for twenty or thirty years. If it weren't for Wei Qiu last time, the emperor would probably have forgotten about our family. The old lady said.

Speaking of Wei Qiu, the faces of the old lady and Zhao Yuanxun were very ugly.

I haven't received the holy decree for twenty or thirty years, but the holy decree that Zhao Yuanxun received after becoming the master of the house was the holy decree of demotion, which is really ashamed of his ancestors.

Compared with the old lady and Zhao Yuanxun, the Zhu family cares more about their children.

She asked Zhao Ruxi, "What's going on?" Why would the emperor let you teach the officials to paint? ”

Zhao Ruxi told Zhang Changshen's plan again, and also mentioned that Zhang Changshen wanted her to go to Dali Temple to work. She didn't say a word about the robbery of Zhuangzi in the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

Zhao Yuanxun is a military general, Zhang Changshen, Wu Zong and Master put Pingnanhou Mansion together for her Zhuangzi, I don't know what Zhao Yuanxun's mood will be when he hears it. Anyway, the matter has passed, and there is no need to cause more trouble, so that Zhao Yuanxun has an opinion on her master and senior brother.

Zhao Yuanxun heard that Zhang Changshen invited his daughter to serve in Dali Temple, and his mood was very complicated.

He did everything possible at the beginning, and how many connections he left, before he found an idle position in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. In the end, he was masturbated because of Li Mu's affairs and became an idler. Now that her daughter doesn't spend a penny, some people beg her to go to Dali Temple to work. Why is there such a big gap between people?

He sighed and said to Zhao Jingtai: "Brother Tai, did you hear it?" This is the difference between those who have the ability and those who don't. ”

Zhao Jingtai nodded vigorously, looking at Zhao Ruxi's eyes were shining, and his eyes were full of admiration.

My sister is amazing!

For the sake of the child, Zhu agreed with Zhao Ruxi's decision: "You are right to refuse." What is it about you as a little girl, entering Dali Temple, dealing with murderers all day long? It's better to stay at home. Although our family is not rich, we don't need you to make such hard and dangerous money. ”

"If only Brother Tai had learned to draw, he would be a few years older." The old lady was very sorry.

"Brother Tai will be an official in the future, so he will be a high-ranking official. What kind of ability is it to be such an unruly miscellaneous officer? Zhao Ruxi touched Zhao Jingtai's head, "From tomorrow night, I will teach you to draw." ”

"Great." Zhao Jingtai said happily.

On the second day, Zhao Ruxi got up early in the morning and went to Dali Temple after breakfast.

Maybe she came too early, or maybe today is a mid-day holiday, compared to yesterday's busy people, Dali Temple seems quiet.

Zhong Shengrong arrived at the yamen early according to the time Zhao Ruxi said. When Zhao Ruxi arrived, he was already waiting in the yamen.

Wu Zong specially told that for the safety of Zhao Ruxi, Zhong Shengrong did not let her go to the courtyard closer to the prison, but changed the place and let people have refreshments, so he went to do his own business.

Remembering that he was going to Bac Ninh to pick up people, Zhao Ruxi didn't care about drinking tea and eating snacks, so he quickly drew the portraits he painted yesterday. Soon she had one drawn.

She clipped the painted portrait behind her, pulled out a blank piece of paper, and continued drawing.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and it seemed that many people were coming this way.

She subconsciously looked up and saw a young man in a blue brocade robe stepping into the threshold.
