In the Xianggui Courtyard, Liuli picked up the curtain and came out, and saw a few girls in the courtyard who were not working, living together and chattering about something.

After the last rectification of the house, the first thing to bear the brunt of is to prohibit slander, provoking, and arguing about the master...... It's only been a little longer and I forget it.

Liuli's face sank, and she was just about to open her mouth to reprimand, when she saw a girl look up and see her, and walked towards her quickly.

"Sister Liuli, have you seen Zhu Gongzi? But I haven't seen anyone yet, is there something going on outside? ”

The girl who spoke was a second-class girl in Sheng Mingzhu's courtyard, and when there was an occasional shortage of people, she would go to Sheng Mingzhu's room to pour tea and water, showing her face, and among them, she was more faceless.

"Zhu Nianjun, what's wrong with him? When did you get out. ”

"I'm going out after breakfast today."

Liuli raised his eyes and looked at the sky, the winter days were short, and he saw that the sky was about to get dark, and he went out in the morning and didn't come back until now?

Isn't it time to play there again, forgetting the time? Liuli frowned, and couldn't figure out why their young lady wanted to keep this one person by her side.

Eating and drinking every day, relying on a flattering face, hooking up with the girls in the courtyard all day long, no one is right.

Such a person, being a subordinate thinks he is an eyesore, but the young lady, I don't know what I like about him? Could it be because of that face?

"Did he say what he was going to do when he went out today?"

Several girls shook their heads together, "Zhu Gongzi has a lively temperament, dislikes the boredom in the house, and often goes out alone, and we don't know what he is doing when he goes out?" ”

"He's not going to keep our money for his own sake!"

"I didn't want him to bring anything if I knew I would......" A girl said halfway, as if she had thought of something, and suddenly raised her head and covered her mouth.

Seeing Liuli looking at them, he hurriedly folded his hands and begged for mercy: "Sister Liuli, this is the only time, it's really only this time, can you spare us this time." ”

Liuli stared at them, and said expressionlessly: "I know it's wrong, why don't you hurry down to receive the punishment, ask someone to bring things into the house privately, and the rattan punishment will be ten times, if there is a next time, it will be more than these ten times." ”

Liuli has always been accustomed to prestige in the courtyard, and as soon as these words came out, several girls in the courtyard suddenly became like frosted eggplants, and no one dared to ask Zhu Nianjun's whereabouts anymore.

When they dispersed, Liuli entered the house, and saw Sheng Mingzhu crooked on the warm collapse, with a stove at his feet, holding a notebook in his hand, and looking at it happily.

Jade sat next to her, idle, fiddling with the peel for her.

Liuli hesitated for a moment before saying: "I went out just now, and I heard the girl in the courtyard say that Zhu Nianjun went out in the morning, and until now, he hasn't come back, does Miss want to send someone out to look for it?" ”

Sheng Mingzhu put the notebook in his hand, sat up, and said, "You haven't come back yet?" Did you say what you were going out for? ”

Although Zhu Nianjun was left in the mansion by Sheng Mingzhu, he was nominally a servant of the subordinates, but he lived a happier life than the son-in-law of other people.

Sheng Mingzhu has never restrained him, and when he wants to go out and when he comes back, it is up to him to feel the mood.

"So late, haven't come back yet?" Sheng Mingzhu looked out the window, there were already people in the courtyard who had started to light the lights, and it was indeed a little late if he didn't come back so late.

"Let the butler send someone out to look for it." After saying this, Sheng Mingzhu said again: "Is there any movement in the princess's mansion next to it?" Find someone to inquire. ”

As long as it doesn't fall in the princess's mansion, it's fine.

Sheng Mingzhu didn't take this matter to heart, but waited until he finished his dinner and didn't see anyone come back, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

The man sent out by the housekeeper returned, but brought back bad news.

Someone was at the tea stall during the day and saw him having a conflict with the lord of Ling'an.

"Will it be taken away by the Lord of Lin'an?" Liuli Road.

"It's not possible, it should be." Sheng Mingzhu frowned, walked back and forth, thinking about countermeasures, and fell into the hands of the county lord of Ling'an.

It's just that now that their Guogong Mansion has torn its face with the Princess Mansion, it will definitely not work to rush into the door to ask for someone, and the county lord of Ling'an finally caught someone, and it is not so easy to ask her to release people.

Sheng Mingzhu pondered for a long time, but didn't find any good way.

"You go to someone to confirm the news, if Zhu Nianjun is really arrested by the county lord of Ling'an, hurry up and return to me."

After explaining this sentence to Liuli, Sheng Mingzhu sat back on the edge of the table, let Jade grind, and lift the pen to fly.

If Zhu Nianjun really fell into the hands of the lord of Ling'an, there would be only one person in the entire princess's mansion who could save him.

Sheng Mingzhu blew the ink dry, and did not seal it, but waited patiently for the news.

About half a pillar of incense, I suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard outside.

Sheng Mingzhu hurriedly said: "Go out and see if the person who heard the news has returned." ”

Jade went out, saw the person in the courtyard, turned her head to Sheng Mingzhu and said in surprise: "Miss, it's Zhu Nianjun's kid who is back." ”

"Coming back?" Sheng Mingzhu stepped forward, and sure enough, he was back.

Just looking at the appearance, but not very good, with whiplash wounds on his face, blood stains on the sleeves of his wrists, limping posture when walking, as if he had been beaten for a while, the expression on his face could not tell whether it was joy, anger, or sadness.

"Is this going out to fight people?"

Zhu Nianjun glanced at her, didn't speak, took out a bunch of small things from his arms, and handed them to the maid next to him, "There are a lot of things in it, all of them are broken, wait until the next time you go out, I'll buy them for you again." ”

The girls who just got a penalty today, then dare to have a next time, hurriedly took the things, didn't dare to look at them more, and quietly hid.

"Is there any wine?"

Zhu Nianjun stood below, looking up at her, through the dim candle flame, it seemed that he could vaguely see the flash of water in his eyes, seeing that Sheng Mingzhu did not speak, Zhu Nianjun repeated again: "Is there any wine?" Your government is rich and rich, and you won't even be reluctant to give people a drink! ”

"What's your attitude? I came back so late, do you know how worried we are, we don't feel guilty at all, and we dare to ask for wine, who do you think you are? Jade said angrily.

"People like you shouldn't care."

"Jade, give him the wine."
