When Gu Fanghua told him about Kong Mingdeng, Yan Rongling and Xiao Yao's faces were a little delicate.

Yan Rongling suppressed the faint envy in her heart and said with a smile: "Cousin Mingzhu, fifth brother, this is really an unintentional mistake. But it's not a big deal, why is it worth Dong Hanlin's special beating? ”

"If you don't knock it, maybe tomorrow it will spread all over the capital. The five princes put lanterns late at night, burned the Imperial History Mansion by mistake, and smiled for the county lord of Bo Mingzhu. ”

Gu Fanghua pretended to be such a thought, and Yan Rongling and Xiao Yao both looked cold.

Now that Mama Fang has spoken, Dong Hanlin will specifically talk about the meaning of this word, as long as Yan Shaoxun is not a stupid person, naturally half a sentence will not leak out.

"Cousin Mingzhu handled it properly, and the five princes' scheming was in vain."

Xiao Yao smiled lightly, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and he didn't see the heat of the hot summer. That kind of calm and natural coolness from the inside out made Gu Fanghua very curious.

"Third Brother Xiao, aren't you hot?"

Xiao Yao was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "The Yinghua Palace faces north and south, and there is an ice basin in the house, so it is indeed not hot." ”

Gu Fanghua remembered that he had basically traveled for most of the week, and asked with a smile: "Then where are the hottest places you have been?" ”

"Where is the hottest? Probably Fuzhou, although it is close to the sea, the sun is really hot, and most of the locals have dark skin. ”

Xiao Yao and Gu Fanghua chatted speculatively, Yan Rongling listened with a smile, and waited for Xiao Chengzi to bring the ice bowl and put it in front of Gu Fanghua with his own hands.

"Danzhu, when you go back, remember to tell Mama Cen that the county lord has used an ice bowl today. If she wants it at night, she can't let her make trouble. ”

Gu Fanghua glared at the boss with a pair of apricot eyes, and said with dissatisfaction: "Sixth cousin, you are going to take care of my Qingzhi Palace?" ”

Yan Rongling smiled dotingly: "This is also for your good, so as not to make your stomach hurt and cry your nose." ”

Gu Fanghua blushed, what can be done? The black history of the past really can't be changed!

finally used the ice bowl, and then got down to business: "On the tenth day of the first month, Second Brother Gu and I, as well as Brother Zhong and Jiaojiao, are going to Tangshan." Are you going or not? ”

Yan Rongling was embarrassed: "Mingzhu, Xiao Yao is about to fall in autumn, and I have to go to the study every day to study." ”

"We went to the tenth day of the first year and came back on the eighteenth, and we couldn't delay the autumn season. Besides, Tangshan can catch pheasants and grill fish, and there are no elders to play with us. How, to go or not? ”

Gu Fanghua's chin was slightly raised, looking a little arrogant, but the expectation in her eyes was obvious.

Yan Rongling and Xiao Yao exchanged looks, and each other's eyes were a little helpless. Yan Rongling simply spoke: "Cousin Mingzhu, if you can ask your father for leave, we will go." ”

Gu Fanghua pursed her lips, her eyes as bright as stars glared at her, and she said angrily: "If you want to play, you can ask for leave by yourself, otherwise I won't take you there." ”

After speaking, he walked away, and his arrogant and cute appearance made people laugh.

Yan Rongling clenched his hands into fists, held back a smile and coughed lightly on his lips: "I'm afraid it's hard to escape from this lesson, Xiao Yao, do you have any good ways?" ”

Xiao Yao spread his hands and said helplessly: "I'm just accompanying the study, and I said that I would go back to the house for a few days." However, Rong Ling has to go out for so long, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome, and there are still the Five Princes and the Nine Princes. ”

Yan Rongling thought for a while, went to the study and took out a picture, looked at the approximate location of Tangshan, and was silent.

Xiao Yao didn't need to look at the map to know that Tangshan was located in Tongzhou, south of Jincheng. Last month, news came that the straight road to Tongzhou had fallen into disrepair and been washed away due to heavy rains for several days.

The so-called straight road is actually a simple version of the highway in ancient times.

This straight road from the capital to Tongzhou is about 500 miles long and 15 zhang wide. It was presided over by the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty in that year, which was convenient for Yanmen Pass to increase troops to resist foreign people.

The ordinary official road is only about five zhang, and the straight road through Beijing is more than three times, if you want to go to Tangshan, you can make a fuss here.

Yan Rongling looked at Xiao Yao and said with a smile: "I wonder if Brother Xiao is willing to work with me to supervise the repair of this straight road through Beijing?" ”

"Don't dare to disobey."

After lunch on the second day, Yan Rongling took the time to come to the imperial study.

"Erchen has seen his father."

Emperor Hong Zheng rarely saw Yan Rongling ask to see him alone, stopped his pen, and said with a smile: "Little Liu, is there something looking for me?" ”

Yan Rongling didn't hide it, and said a little shyly: "Back to my father, my son wants to go to Tangshan." ”

"Oh, I heard that Mingzhu and the Zhong family kid are going to Tangshan? Can't sit still? ”

Emperor Hong Zheng said with a smile, and Yan Rongling hurriedly explained: "The Zhong family brothers and sisters and the second brother Gu are all going, and Erchen and Xiao Yao also want to go." Last time, didn't my father say that the straight road to Beijing was destroyed for several miles, and the local repair was slow, and the son was willing to go to find out the reason. ”

"Oh, Xiao Yao doesn't want to participate in the Autumn Festival, but also to accompany you to mess around?"

"Back to his father, Xiao Yao is outstanding in learning, full of economy, and he is not bad at studying these days. He has always been accustomed to traveling from south to north, and he has long wanted to go out for a walk after being bored in the capital. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng nodded slightly, Xiao Yao is indeed a talent, not only reading the scriptures and history, but also making novel strategies, very close to the people's livelihood, and it is practical and feasible in simple terms.

It seems that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read a thousand books.

Emperor Hong Zheng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, I will leave the investigation to you." Don't just go around the mountains, if you come back and don't tell me why, I'll be punished heavily. ”

Yan Rongling hurriedly knelt down to receive the order: "Erchen receives the order!" ”

Waiting for Yan Rongling to get up, Emperor Hong Zheng said again: "Xiao Liu, you guys have fun all the way, it's better to take Xiao Jiu with you." ”

Yan Rongling touched his nose, a little embarrassed: "It depends on Cousin Mingzhu, originally Erchen suggested that the fifth brother be together, but Cousin Mingzhu annoyed the fifth brother again." ”

Why Gu Fanghua was annoyed with Yan Shaoxun, Emperor Hong Zheng knew very well.

However, Emperor Hong Zheng hoped that Xiao Jiu and Xiao Liu would be more together, and the brotherhood would be deeper. Although Xiao Jiu and Mingzhu often have awkward quarrels, with Mingzhu present, they can suppress Xiao Jiu.

"Okay, I will naturally say to Mingzhu, you should step back first."

After Emperor Hong Zheng saw Yan Rongling retreat, he thought about it again and asked Wang Ning to send a message to Cining Palace.

Here Gu Fanghua got the news that Yan Rongling and Xiao Yao were going together tomorrow, and they were so happy that they were directing a few maid rings, picking out the things to bring on the road.

Ying'er led Dongchun outside and said, "County Lord, Aunt Dongchun is here." ”

Danzhu hurriedly got up and opened the curtain to welcome out: "Aunt Dongchun, why are you here?" If there's something for the other people, just come over and say it. ”

Dongchun walked in along the curtain made by Danzhu, looked at the clothes on this bed, and said with a smile: "Ouch, the county lord is going to change the season?" ”

"Aunt Dongchun said with a smile, didn't Ming'er go out? I want to find a few simple clothes, too good materials, but it is a pity and inconvenient to wear them up the mountain. ”

Gu Fanghua's words amused Dongchun, she covered her mouth and smiled: "The county lord is really joking, the queen mother is still worried that the county lord will not have enough clothes." ”
