"Get up." Rong Ruo said softly.

Xiao Anzi stood up and was about to speak, glanced at the table, and saw that Rong Ruo was having breakfast, so he silently stopped talking and quietly stood beside him.

Shen Wan saw that this little Anzi was shrewd and guarded, and she didn't look sideways, and couldn't help but sigh that Rong Ruo's family had strict rules, and sure enough, she was born in a famous family, and even these low-level servants acted according to the rules.

Then he smiled and said, "I don't know if this little brother has breakfast?" I called the girl to bring it and bring it to another meal. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Anzi hurriedly lowered his head, bowed to Shen Wan and saluted: "Thank you, uh......" Xiao Anzi didn't know how to call Shen Wan for a while, only spit out the word thank you first, and then paused before saying: "Don't bother, I've already had breakfast." ”

Rong Ruo didn't say much, and interjected and asked, "You came here, but what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Anzi heard Rong Ruo's question, there was really something, and then carefully took out a letter sealed with red wax from his arms and handed it to Rong Ruo with both hands.

Rong Ruo took the letter and saw that there were only four words written on it, "Brother Rong personally opened", and there was nothing, but when Rong Ruo looked at this word, he knew that it was the font of Prince Gong Changning in the capital.

Carefully opened the wax seal, Rong Ruo took out the letter inside and looked at it, his eyes were suddenly surprised, and his face was slightly surprised, and he read the letter carefully a few times, his excited hand trembled slightly, and asked Xiao Anzi: "When did you receive this letter?" ”

Xiao Anzi also saw that Rong Ruo's excited emotions didn't know what was wrong, and hurriedly replied: "I received it last night, I arranged for the messenger to go back to the store to rest, and I went to Mr. Zhu's house to find the adult early this morning, and Lord Gu told me that you were here, and I found it." ”

"Did I bring my horse?" Rong Ruo hurriedly asked.

Xiao Anzi nodded again and again: "It's here, it's outside." ”

Rong Ruo carefully put the letter into his arms, and was about to pull out his legs, when he suddenly remembered something, turned around and saw Shen Wan, a pair of gentle eyes were staring at him, and the guilt that had calmed down a little just now was churning again.

Rong Ruo stretched out his hand and touched his body, and found that he came out in a hurry yesterday, and he didn't bring anything, only a piece of Hetian Ziyu's Zimu Bifan pendant hung on the jade belt around his waist, which was an object he often carried.

At this time, there was no one to spare, Rong Ruo took off the jade from his waist, handed it to Shen Wan with both hands, and said, "I came here in a hurry yesterday, I didn't think about ......"

Rong Ruo didn't know what to say for a while, handed the jade pendant in his hand forward, and said softly: "Girl, take this first, don't worry, I will keep it in mind, there is something important at this time, I need to leave." ”

Shen Wan stretched out her hand to take the jade pendant and held it tightly in her hand, a pair of crystal eyes always stayed between Rong Ruo's eyebrows, and she held the jade bi wrapped in Rong Ruo's body breath in her hand.

Thinking of last night's infinite charm, Shen Wan showed a trace of sadness in her eyes, and then pulled out a gentle smile and said: "Since there is something to do, it is natural to take this as the priority, my lord, let's go, Shen Wan...... I won't send it. ”

Rong Ruo opened his mouth, but after all, he just bowed, and then he and Xiao Anzi turned around and walked out of the hall of Shen Wan's residence, and walked to the courtyard, where the two horses had already been led out and waited in the courtyard.

Rong Ruo took the reins of his horse and turned over the saddle and was about to leave, when someone next to him suddenly shouted: "Lord Rong, wait!" ”

Rong Ruo hurriedly pulled the reins and turned around to look, but it was Yuge standing in front of the courtyard gate, holding something in his hand, and staring at Rong Ruo with a gloomy face.

"What's the matter with Miss Yuge?" Rong Ruo asked.

Na Yuge took two steps forward, stuffed a ball of white things in his hand into Rong Ruo's hand, and said with sadness in his tone: "Please don't ...... in any case." Don't forget my girl! ”

Rong Ruo held the silk cloth-like thing in his hand, looked at Yuge's face and nodded vigorously, and rode away.

After a trip away from the courtyard where Shen Wan lived, Rong Ruo reined in his horse and shook off the silk cloth that Fang Cai Yuge stuffed into his hand.

I saw a snow-white silk cloth in the center, a few drops of red cinnabar blood stains like red plums blooming in the snow jumped into Rong Ruo's eyes, dazzling, Rong Ruo's face suddenly turned pale, he had already been married, and naturally knew that this was the most precious virgin blood for women.

The guilt of the cone pain in his heart became heavier and heavier, put away the silk cloth, Rong Ruo took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, turned back to Xiao Anzi and said, "You go back to the inn, take my bag and send it to Mr. Zhu's house." ”

Xiao Anzi rode his horse in response.

Rong Ruo returned to Zhu Zhuyuan's bamboo house alone, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, Jiang Ximing and Gu Zhenguan were playing chess twice, and Zhu Zhuyuan was watching chess while blowing the stove and boiling water.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, the three of them raised their heads at the same time, and when they saw Rong Ruo entering the door, they got up and answered.

Jiang Ximing smiled first: "Brother Rong, did you sleep well last night?" I haven't closed my eyes all night. ”

Gu Zhenguan and Zhu Zhuyuan heard the witty meaning in Jiang Ximing's words, and they all laughed, only Rong Ruo's face sank, his deep eyes were lowered, and his expression was solemn.

Only then did the three of them realize that Rong Ruo's mood seemed to be extremely wrong, and his face was pale and dull, without the color of the spring breeze at all, Gu Zhenguan asked first, "What's wrong with you?" What's wrong? ”

Rong Ruo put his hand into his shirt, took out Chang Ning's letter, handed it to Gu Zhenguan and said, "You take a look at this first." ”

Gu Zhenguan stared at Rong Ruo with her eyes, and reached out to take the letter from Rong Ruo's hand and shook it open.

Zhu Zhuyuan and Jiang Ximing also leaned over to watch.

"Really? This, this...... Oh, my God! Gu Zhenguan couldn't help but hold the letter tightly to his chest, and the two lines of tears in his eyes had rolled down.

Zhu Zhuyuan took the letter from Gu Zhenguan's hand and read it again, and couldn't help but sigh.

Gu Zhenguan couldn't help himself with excitement, and said with trembling lips: "Twenty-three years, a full twenty-three years, how many twenty-three can a person have in this life?" ”

It turned out that Chang Ning chatted with Kangxi that night and learned that Kangxi Shengyi had decided to hold an erudite Confucian scientific examination, and the first thing he thought of was Wu Hancha, who Gu Zhenguan often hung on his lips.

Wu Hancha has been assigned to Ningguta as a slave for nearly 20 years because he is suspected of fraud in the field of Shunzhi for 16 years, so the former holy decree specially announced that the amnesty shall not exempt him from his crimes, so the previous Kangxi amnesty of the world did not allow Wu Hancha to return to the Central Plains.

This time, Kangxi is eclectic and opens an erudite Confucian scientific examination, which is a rare opportunity to broaden the world's celebrities, therefore, Chang Ning wants to take this opportunity, coupled with Kangxi's desire to cherish celebrities and seek talents, maybe Wu Jizi.

However, the letter only said maybe, but did not say certainly, nor did it say how to save it, only said that Rong Ruo and Gu Zhenguan would return to Beijing to discuss the matter in detail.

Gu Zhenguan couldn't wait for half a moment at this time, and he couldn't wait to fly back to the capital with wings under his ribs.

His errand had already been completed, just waiting for Rong Ruo, and now that Rong Ruo had also finished his errand, Gu Zhenguan could go to the government to explain other trivial matters, and urge Rong Ruo to return to Beijing together.
