Lin Ruan quickly took his hand back, quickly stepped aside, sat on a chair in the corner, and buried his head low.

And the voice of Liang Twelve outside the door came in with the knock on the door: "Master, are you inside?" ”

Xiao Jingchen said in a cold voice: "Come in." ”

Liang Twelve didn't notice the displeasure in Xiao Jingchen's tone at all, he pushed the door open excitedly, stepped in with one foot, and when he saw Lin Ruan, he said in surprise: "Why are you here?" ”

Lin Ruan didn't pay attention to him, not that she was still angry with him, mainly because she was blushing too much now. Liang Twelve saw that she was silent, thinking that she was still talking to herself, so she snorted: "You go out first, I have something to tell my master." ”

When he said this, he didn't notice at all that Xiao Jingchen's face became colder.

Lin Ruan also felt that he was really embarrassed to sit here, so he stood up according to Liang Twelve's words and blessed Xiao Jingchen: "Master Xiao, I'll go first." ”

Liang Twelve glared at Lin Ruan, and after she went out, he snorted very unhappily: "Stinky girl, put up a stinky shelf all day long, beware of the little master who will clean you up one day!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Twelve suddenly felt that the air in the study was a little colder.

Xiao Jingchen leaned on the chair ring and looked at him with half-squinted eyes: "You have a big opinion of Lin Xiangjun?" ”

Liang Twelve said very dissatisfiedly: "That stinky girl is used to kicking her nose in the face, just because I said a few words about his father and brother that night, which will not take long with me." This stinky girl is really angry! ”

Xiao Bo outside the door listened to the sound in the room, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly, these twelve masters, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer.

Sure enough, Xiao Jingchen's voice came out, and it was so cold that it was all covered with ice ballast.

"Huzhou has not been peaceful recently, it is said that a large number of victims are starving to death, and the plague is rampant, the emperor is very worried, you can take someone on a trip and find out what the local officials over there are doing."

Liang Twelve was a little dumbfounded: "Master, you let me take someone to Huzhou?" ”

Xiao Jingchen raised his eyes to look at him: "Something?" ”

Liang Twelve ghosts shouted: "Of course, I came here today to give you leave, my lady is pregnant, and I want to stay at home with her for a few days." ”

Xiao Jingchen said ruthlessly: "No." ”

Liang Twelve was so anxious that he stared: "Why?" Master, Ding Rui and his daughter-in-law were pregnant before, and you were granted leave, why are you not allowed to come to me? Recently, we don't have any other tasks for Jinyiwei, so it's no problem for you to let Ding Rui and them go. ”

Xiao Jingchen raised his eyes and looked at him: "Are you teaching me how to arrange work?" ”

Liang Twelve couldn't stop shaking his head: "Master, I didn't mean that, I ......"

Xiao Jingchen stood up and walked outside the study with a non-negotiable look: "Set off in the afternoon, you can pick which people you want to bring." ”

After speaking, Xiao Jingchen left quickly.

Liang Twelve looked at his back, wanting to cry without tears, and really couldn't understand why his grandfather had become so ruthless.

Thinking that his daughter-in-law was still waiting for him to go home and accompany him to Zhuangzi for summer vacation, he didn't know how to go home and explain to his daughter-in-law.

Liang Twelve was like a frosted eggplant, dragging his steps out, and he didn't go far before he met Xiao Bo.

Xiao Bo greeted gloatingly: "Twelfth Master, what's wrong?" Why are you crying with a sad face? ”

As soon as Liang Twelve saw him, he immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Uncle Xiao, you help me go to the master to plead for mercy, you tell him, my daughter-in-law is happy, I have to stay at home with her for a few days at this time, you let the master rearrange the manpower to go to Huzhou." He has always been able to listen to you, Xiao Bo, I ask you, help me say a few kind words. ”

Xiao Bo shook his head helplessly: "Twelfth Master, if it is usual, I can still say a few kind words for you, but today, I can't do anything, otherwise I am afraid that I will be burned." So you better resign yourself to Huzhou, otherwise the end will be even worse. ”

Liang Twelve looked confused: "Uncle Xiao, what do you mean by this?" Are you in a bad mood today? But Ye has never been a person who will anger others. ”

Xiao Bo sighed: "Ye is indeed in a bad mood, but he is not angry with you, but this anger is caused by you." ”

Liang Twelve was even more confused, he didn't do anything! He has been honestly nesting at home for the past few days, and he only came to their master today for a while, why did he provoke him?

Xiao Bo looked at his stupid mind without turning, shook his head helplessly, and left.

The words have already been said and he still doesn't understand, and he has no tricks.

Liang Twelve was even more worried now, thinking about what he had done wrong, thinking about it, but he didn't come up with a reason.

In the afternoon of the same day, Liang Twelve set off to Huzhou with people full of question marks.

And Lin Ruan's letter back to Huaiyang Mansion was also brought over by Liang Twelve.

The next morning.

Lin Ruan didn't want to move because of his good friend, and was reading a book on the rocking chair in the room, with a large ice basin next to him, comfortable and comfortable.

The green calyx came in with a little smile and reported: "Xiangjun, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Liu sent a congratulatory gift, saying that he wanted to congratulate the Xiangjun on being crowned." ”

Lin Ruan was a little surprised: "The Ministry of Works? ”

Such a big official, give her a gift?

Lin Ruan decided to go to the front to take a look, she didn't know whether she should accept this gift or not, and how to return the gift after receiving it, she had to ask Xiao Jingchen about these things first. She has no understanding of these things in this era and this class, and she can't act by her own thoughts.

When I arrived in the front yard, I happened to meet Xiao Jingchen, who was explaining things to one of his subordinates.

Lin Ruan stood aside and waited for a while, and when they finished talking about business, Lin Ruan stepped forward.

Xiao Jingchen smiled at her: "Do you want to ask about Liu Shangshu's gift?" ”

Lin Ruan nodded: "The backgrounds of these high-ranking officials in Kyoto are complicated, my eyes are black, I don't dare to accept these gifts casually." I don't know how to reciprocate, so I want to ask you. ”

Xiao Jingchen said: "I don't know much about how to return the gift, I have to ask Uncle Xiao about this, the people in the house are basically handled by him." But I can give you some advice on who can accept the gift and which person should return it. ”

Lin Ruan smiled and said, "Then please ask Xiao Ye for more advice." ”

The two were talking, and Yahuan came to report, and someone came to give Lin Ruan a gift, and this time the person who gave the gift was Chengping Houfu.

Lin Ruan said a little helplessly: "I'm just a townshipman, compared to the identities of these people, it's really insignificant, what do they want to do when they take the initiative to give me gifts?" ”

Although she is a township monarch of the emperor's own title, but in Kyoto, where a signboard falls, she can kill several royal relatives and nobles, she is a four-grade township monarch, and she is nothing.

It would be a bit strange if some petty officials gave her gifts, and it would seem a little strange for these people who were obviously much higher than her rank to give her.

Xiao Jingchen sneered: "But I just want to take the opportunity to sell it." The promotion of sweet potato cultivation is a matter of great importance, and many people want to make some benefit from this errand. These gift-givers, which one doesn't have a few rice buckets that don't make a container, I'm afraid that they should want to find you to walk when they turn back. ”

Lin Ruan had a little headache: "Then what should I do with this gift?" ”
