Xiao Zhen took Xie Zheng and walked to Xuan Garden, Yin Luo and Yuzhi followed behind them, and the four of them entered the garden, and two young Langjun came to meet them, and when they saw Xiao Zheng coming, both of them saluted him, and called respectfully: "Your Highness." ”

Xie Zheng looked at them, only to see one wearing coarse cloth clothes, the other was dressed in brocade, the one dressed luxuriously, she had met once when she came back to visit, and heard the porter say that this person's surname was Yang, born in Hongnong Yang's family, and Yang Mingzhi's clan who committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake because he was dismissed not long ago.

As for the one who was dressed a little plainly, she didn't recognize it.

Xiao Zhen only nodded to them, and the two people walked over separately, and Xie Zheng asked, "Those two are both staff members in His Highness's mansion?" ”

"Well," Xiao Zhen glanced back at the two people who had walked over, and then introduced to Xie Zheng: "The one who walked in front is called Duan Hengzhou, although he is from a poor family, he has amazing talents, as for the one in the back... is called Yang Gengxiu, this person is not outstanding. ”

"Duan Hengzhou?" Xie Zheng mentioned what the porter told her when she came back, and said: "When I came back, the gatekeeper of your mansion once said that this garden was not originally called 'Xuan Garden', but because there was a Duan envoy who mistakenly wrote 'jade' as 'Xuan', His Royal Highness changed the name of the garden to 'Xuan Yuan'. ”

"It was him."

Xie Zheng smiled and praised casually: "This Duan Langjun is really a talent!" ”

Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment at first, then smiled inexplicably, and finally lowered his voice slightly, with a hint of teasing, and said to Xie Zheng: "What? Do you have a crush on him? He is now in the age of the weak crown, and he has not yet been married, if you fall in love with him, Lone will go to him for you to talk to him. ”

Xie Zheng glanced at him and said with a sneer: "If Your Highness makes fun of me, I will turn my face and deny people." ”

"It's just a joke, you can't be alone," Xiao Zhen said, and took Xie Zheng into the study, Yin Luo followed in, and closed the door casually.

Xiao Zhen walked to the coffee table, poured tea with a teapot, and said to Xie Zheng: "Last time, I haven't had time to thank you in person. ”

"Since the earthquake in Mount Tai, the father has become more and more important to Gu, and many affairs in the court have been handled by Gu, and Gu is now really busy from morning to night, just now teaching the two children to throw pots, and they are still busy. These days, Gu has always wanted to find an opportunity to go to the Hou Mansion to thank you, but he has never been empty, but I didn't expect that today, you came by yourself," Xiao Zhen said, suddenly smiled, he put down the teapot, handed the teacup to Xie Zheng, and then continued: "There is also Shangshu Province, since Yang Mingzhi was dismissed, Shangshu Province has finally been born for a few days, all thanks to you." ”

Xie Zheng listened to it and said with a smile: "It's been so long, and His Royal Highness hasn't thanked me, so today, I found it here to ask for a reward." ”

"Reward?" Xiao Zhen laughed loudly, "Then what reward do you want?" Gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, you don't lack everything, you can't use it either, you really don't know what reward you want. ”

"I haven't thought about what I want yet, and when I think about it, I'll tell Your Highness that today, I only need Your Highness to make me a promise," this reward, she has been thinking about it for three years, thinking about it day and night, and she has already remembered it in her heart, but the time has not yet come, if she says it, it will only add trouble.

Xiao Zhen naturally nodded without hesitation, "Okay!" Lone promises you! ”

The door of the study was closed, only bursts of laughter came from inside, Xie Zheng stayed until it was dark before leaving, she came out of the garden with a jade branch, and happened to meet Yang Gengxiu, the two nodded and walked by, Yang Gengxiu suddenly turned around and asked, "You and I have met three times, but I still don't know what Your Excellency is called." ”

Xie Zheng was stunned for a moment at first, then looked back at him and replied, "Xie Zheng will be punished in the next meeting." ”

"Oh," unexpectedly, Yang Gengxiu just nodded and turned around and left, such a frivolous and rude really made Xie Zheng dumbfounded.

Even Yuzhi was angry about this, and scolded: "Which Lang Jun is this?" is so arrogant, just a staff member, how dare to snub the host's distinguished guests like this! ”

"Yuzhi, Hugh is rude!" Xie Zheng saw that Yang Gengxiu hadn't gone far yet, so he pretended to reprimand Yuzhi.

Yuzhi muttered in a low voice: "The slave just can't get used to seeing him snub the lady." ”

As soon as Xie Zheng heard her mention the word "lady", she chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly gave her a look, signaling her to say more, but fortunately, no one heard, she was uneasy in her heart, and scolded again: "This is not the Hou Mansion!" You talk less. ”

Yuzhi bowed her head and was silent, Xie Zheng looked back at Yang Gengxiu who had gone away at this time, thoughtfully, Yuzhi knew that she must be wary of that Yang Gengxiu, so she asked, "Do you want to find someone to check his details?" ”

Xie Zheng didn't say anything, and Yuzhi took it as a default.

Night has fallen, Xie Zheng returned to the Hou Mansion, and before he entered the door, a porter greeted her, who seemed to have been looking forward to her for a long time, and said, "Xie Niangzi, you are finally back." ”

Yuzhi followed behind Xie Zheng and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”

The porter said: "There is a Shen Langjun, who came at noon, said that he wanted to see Xie Niangzi, and the slave said that Xie Niangzi was not in the house, he wanted to wait here, and said that he came to visit Xie Niangzi today, if he didn't see him, then he wouldn't leave." ”

"Shen Langjun?" Xie Zheng frowned: "It's Shen Wenhe?" ”

The porter shook his head and only said, "Listen to the county marquis call him Shen Shilang." ”

"It's really him," Yuzhi scolded in a low voice: "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!" ”

Xie Zheng asked with some relief: "You didn't say anything, did you?" ”

The porter replied: "He said that he came to visit Xie Langjun, and the slave guessed that this Xie Langjun must be your lady." ”

Xie Zheng relaxed and only asked, "Where is he?" ”

"I'm waiting in the guest hall, and the county marquis has also gone over to entertain me."

"Okay, I know," Xie Zheng said, then took the jade branch over, and when he arrived outside the guest hall, he really saw Shen Wenhe sitting inside, and Huan Ling was sitting opposite and drinking tea comfortably.

Xie Zheng walked in with a spring breeze on his face, and said with a smile: "I didn't know that Shen Langjun was coming today, so I went out, and when I came back, I heard the porter talk about it, and hurriedly came over, so that Shen Langjun waited for a long time." ”

At that time, Shen Wenhe saw Xie Zheng coming back, and immediately got up and came out to greet him, but Xie Zheng secretly glanced at Huan Ling, and originally asked him about Shen Wenhe's purpose for coming, but Huan Ling shook his head, meaning that Shen Wenhe didn't tell him anything.

Shen Wenhe sneered: "Brother Deyin, you are too outward, call me more affectionate." ”

Xie Zheng smiled and didn't say anything, only scolded in his heart: Clever tongue is like a spring, and Yan is thick!

"Shen Langjun is here today, there must be something important, right?" Huan Ling didn't like Shen Wenhe to twist and pinch like this, and asked impatiently, and he directly put the teacup in his hand on the desk next to him as he spoke.

Shen Wenhe was taken aback, with his temperament, he should have made a fire, but because Huan Ling was the lord and he was a guest, and because of Xie Zheng, he didn't have a seizure, but he was annoyed in his heart, so he ignored Huan Ling, and said calmly to Xie Zheng: "Today, I am here to invite Brother Deyin to join the office." ”
