After all, the news still can't be contained. After the eldest man of the Luo and Cao families left Beijing, everyone in the capital gradually knew the inside story.

The Han family took the opportunity to come to the door and asked to take the Han family home for the Winter Clothes Festival.

Luo Xiang sighed, made a full courtesy, and sent his third daughter-in-law, who was the most stable and knowledgeable, to accompany him, and sent the Han family back to the Han family well.

Sure enough, when the third daughter-in-law came back, she was ashamed to present a letter to Luo Xiang, which was written by Han Zhen himself, begging for her daughter to go and ask for peace.

Luo Xiang was silent for a long time, first sent his wife to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras, and then ordered Luo Shilang to go to Han's house to kowtow, and finally instructed Luo Shi Saburo to help run the yamen: "This family business is given by the Queen Mother, you do it quietly, bring the documents, I have to go and talk to the Queen Mother." ”

The Han family never entered the Luo family again.

The Luo family politely sent their daily utensils, the maids and maids who came with them, and the full private treasury back to the Han family.

The Han family also politely said: The two children are inseparable, but the Han and Luo families are still good families.

A marriage that made everyone in the world feel incredible, just like that, it came to an end.

The news reached King Ning's Mansion.

The lord of Peony County was surprised, and slowly bowed his head: "That's right." ”

The maid panicked: "When you came back that day, what you told the prince was nothing serious!" Now that this matter has caused such a big mess, I am afraid that the prince will ......."

"If the news of my father is to be collected by me, an unfilial daughter, for him, then he has been eaten alive by His Majesty for more than ten years."

The lord of Peony came idly and bowed his head to embroider.

"Ahem!" There was a majestic dry cough outside the window, and when I heard it, I knew that it was King Ning who had arrived.

The maid was so frightened that she fell to the ground and kowtowed.

The lord of Peony just stood up and bent his knees gracefully: "Father is fine." How to get here at this time? Do you have anything to tell your daughter? ”

King Ning looked at her posture with satisfaction, and twisted his beard and chin: "My son is becoming more and more stable and transparent." That's right, this is like my Prince Ning's daughter. ”

As he spoke, he sat down, looked at her, and said,

"Xuzhou Jiedu made Yin Wan have a son, twenty years old, good looks, loyal and sincere. Next spring is going to end, and at this time he has already entered Beijing. That Yin Wan and I were close friends back then, so I arranged for Yin Gongzi to live in our house.

"The yard I arranged for him is far away from you. But it's a little closer to where your mother used to go for walks. When you look back at the concubine who accompanied you, you need to be careful. ”

The maid's eyes widened in astonishment, and she hurriedly lowered her head again.

The Peony County Lord smiled meekly and said, "Yes." I have written down my father's commandments. ”

"You're the best right now. Don't think too much about everything, and don't ask too much. Quietly at home, reading and embroidering, if you still have leisure, go to accompany your mother.

"At your age, you will have two or three years at most, and you will get married no matter what. When the time comes, where can we be filial to our husband and wife......"

King Ning said as he spoke, his face sad, and he stood up.

Glancing at the embroidery frame of the Peony County Lord, he raised his eyebrows and laughed: "What, are you embroidering clothes for your father?" ”

On the shelf is a men's robe, dark brocade, with a swassh-shaped edge, and what is being embroidered is a cluster of golden chrysanthemums on the placket.

The Peony County Lord stood up respectfully, lowered his head, and said softly, "Yes." It's not embroidered yet. ”

The expression on King Ning's face became more and more pleasant, and he walked away slowly.

Seeing that he didn't want to be captured, and he didn't say anything about the other things, the maid was even more flustered, grabbed the sleeve of the Peony County Lord, and asked in a trembling voice:

"County Lord, what kind of Yin Gongzi, isn't it ......?"

"It's definitely one of the alternatives." The county lord of Peony sat down lightly and continued to bow his head and embroider: "It's about looking at that person's exam results, right?" After all, no matter whose son he is, if he is a white body, then my county lord is a little too cheap. ”

The maid stammered.

The lord of Peony embroidered a few more stitches, straightened his waist, pinched his neck, stood up, took the needlework dustpan, fell on the couch, picked up a small purse in the dustpan, and began to embroider again.

"County Lord, can you rest your eyes for a while?" The maid frowned, and stepped forward to persuade, "You haven't rested much in the past two days." ”

The lord of Peony County continued to lean on the couch, holding the flying needle of the purse, and asked casually:

"Ah Sun, if I get married, do you want to follow me? Or stay in the house and serve the concubine? ”

The maid was shocked: "County Lord, don't you want a servant?" ”

"What if I don't marry well?" The county lord of Peony smiled, and put the needle and thread in his hand, "There is no longer the glory of the first county lord of the clan, and there is no longer the pomp and circumstance of hugging back and forth now, maybe even an ordinary woman in an ordinary house......"

"Even the county lord of Lizhu has the county lord's mansion, and the queen mother will definitely give it to you!" Ah Zhu was anxious, "What are you not as good as her!" ”

"All I asked was if you wanted to come with me." Lord Peony looked at her with a smile.

Ah Zhu did not hesitate at all: "I want to follow the county lord." To put it mildly, the county master learns Zhuo Wenjun to sell wine, and the maid has to follow you to brush the jar and wash the urn! ”

"That's good."

The lord of Peony raised his purse again to embroider, turned over lazily, and said:

"I was too lazy to embroider that garment for my father to see. You go and finish the embroidery. Embroidered and wrapped up, and on the winter solstice, he gave it to his father as a gift. ”

"Me? I embroider ......"

Ah Zhu stammered, stayed for a long time, closed his mouth, walked to the embroidery frame and sat down, decisively picked up the needle, little by little, slowly imitated the needle of the Peony County Lord, and began to embroider.

Quietly moving away the purse he was holding, the lord of Peony County looked at Ah Zhu's back, pursed his lips and smiled, and then looked at the purse with indigo embroidered bamboo leaves in his hand, and his cheeks suddenly blushed slightly.

……

……

Money House.

After reading the news in his hand, Zhong Huan leaned on the recliner and lifted Erlang's legs, shook with the recliner, and hummed a tune with his feet.

Dong Yi looked at his lazy appearance, angry and funny:

"Xiaolang, this one in Beijing is just a farce. General Zong's words, you can't help but take them to heart, right? ”

"That Xun Yuan, don't say anything else, he is a fool of our family, but he is really good. With this alone, I can't reply to Zong Han and say: Oh, since he is the emperor's sitting, you can kill him!

"What's more, it's not the emperor's sitting. As far as he usually looks like he is arrogant, Xun Yuan only said a few words to the emperor, and his Dongning Pass will change hands.

It can be seen that Xun Yuan's master is the queen mother.

"Empress Dowager Shen, that's a smart woman. Otherwise, she will not be the queen mother. What exactly she wants to do, let's see. ”

Zhong Huan yawned and said with a smile:

"Those two old foxes, both of them are obedient to Empress Dowager Shen, if we underestimate the enemy, aren't we looking for death?"

It's not a big deal to look for death.

But you can't bother our two fools, right?

"Oh yes, let you check the Bai clan, how is the investigation?"
