Xiao Han was not surprised by this, Liu Xing was the adopted son adopted by Father-in-law Liu in the palace, and was arranged by Father-in-law Liu to serve her.

In his previous life, Liu Xing had always been very competent and loyal, and when the county lord's mansion was burned by fire, Liu Xing was also burned to death.

Xiao Han instructed: "Liu Xing, you take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince down to visit the county lord's mansion first, and the county lord will go back to the house first." ”

The first time he came to the county lord's mansion, Xiao Qi was very curious about this place, and let Liu Xing take him away.

Xiao Han returned to the main courtyard familiarly, although this was her first time here, but in her previous life, she had lived here for nearly ten years, and she had already memorized every grass and tree here.

Back in the hospital, she shouted to the rooftop, "Where's the Dark Guard?!" Come out to the lord of this county! ”

Then all ten secret guards appeared in front of her, and the man in the lead said respectfully: "The leader of the dark guard has seen the master first. ”

Xiao Han didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Dark One, are there any people in charge of intelligence among you?!" ”

Dark One quickly replied: "Back to the master, Dark Er has been in charge of intelligence outside, if the master wants to find out something, his subordinates can ask Dark Er to come back to see the master." ”

Xiao Han stopped: "No need, you help me send a message to Dark Er, and ask him to check the famous Confucians in the capital who are qualified to be the Taishi." Remember to check the character and virtue of these people by the way, the sooner the better! ”

"My subordinates understand." After saying that, the dark one left, and it seemed that he was going to send a message to the dark two.

Looking at the other nine people, she thought for a moment and ordered: "Which of you has better martial arts, send two people to protect His Royal Highness the Prince." The rest of the people take care of the county lord's mansion and don't let irrelevant people get in. ”

After receiving the order, all the guards vanished.

The matter has been ordered, she just needs to wait for the news from the dark two to come back.

Thinking of the fact that she promised Lu Yi to teach them literacy yesterday, she didn't plan to break the contract, but she also knew her own catties.

After thinking about it, she came up with a solution, that is, she was responsible for paying for a private school, hiring a good teacher, and helping them read and write.

If any of them can really take this opportunity to soar into the sky, then he doesn't mind helping out, which will also be a good thing for Xiao Qi in the future.

She called Hongxiu over first and gave her a small wooden box. Hongxiu opened it and saw that there were some silver tickets inside.

Hongxiu was puzzled: "County Lord, you are..."

Xiao Han briefly said what happened in the broken temple yesterday, and then ordered: "Here are three hundred taels of silver tickets, Hongxiu, you take these silver tickets to buy a courtyard, it doesn't need to be too big, it can accommodate twenty or thirty people at a time." In the future, they will definitely have to stay in it to eat and live, so it can't be too small. ”

Hongxiu said worriedly: "County Lord, if you really do this, once this matter is known to someone with a heart, I am afraid that it will affect the reputation of the County Lord." ”

She understood Hongxiu's worries, but she had already made up her mind about this matter: "Hongxiu, you don't have to persuade me, this matter is the county lord's own plan." ”

Thinking that the price of goods in the capital is not low, Xiao Han added: "After the courtyard is found, the inside will be arranged to look like a academy, and if the money is not enough, it will come out of my private treasury." ”

After Hongxiu got down, she took the wooden box and went out of the house on an errand.

After handling the matter almost immediately, she found Xiao Qi who was making a boat on the lake under the leadership of her subordinates.

She coughed lightly, and when Xiao Qi turned his head and saw her, he immediately ran to her side.

"Sister Han, I want to go boating, but the people in your house won't let me say anything!" Xiao Qi said aggrievedly.

Xiao Han thought for a while and said, "If you want to go boating, it's not impossible. It's just that you have to promise me one condition! ”

Xiao Qi said vigilantly: "What conditions?!" ”

"Today I have sent someone to Taixue to take leave, but from tomorrow, you have to honestly go to Taixue with me to study!"

Xiao Qi wanted to refuse when he heard this, but Xiao Han then added: "If you agree, if you want to leave the palace in the future, I can take you out of the palace with me, and I won't be reprimanded by the emperor's uncle." ”

This condition was very tempting for him, and Xiao Qi decisively agreed.

After asking the subordinates to make sure that there is no problem with the boat, the two of them sit together in the boat.

There is a wooden table in the middle of the boat, and on the wooden table are melons and fruits prepared by the subordinates, as well as fresh lotus seeds that have just been picked.

The surface of the lake is sparkling, and there are fish surrounding the side of the boat, flicking their tails and splashing from time to time.

Xiao Han casually sprinkled a handful of bait, and all kinds of koi fish raised in the lake rushed to come, and the lake surface was colorful and beautiful.

When the playful Xiao Qi saw this scene, he also learned from Xiao Han and began to spread the bait non-stop.

Seeing that she was scattering more and more, she was afraid that the koi she raised would die, so she had to stop it: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is scattering, I'm afraid that the fish I raise will die." Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to raise his noble hand and let them go. ”

Xiao Han said so, and Xiao Qi had to put down the bait in his hand with a regretful face.

There was no one around, Xiao Qi suddenly asked: "I've been talking about me before, so I want to ask the county lord of Pingle what kind of life he plans to live in the future?!" ”

At this moment, Xiao Yan's expression was very serious, which was very different from his usual appearance. It's as if the usually playful and willful prince is just a disguise for him.

But soon Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Sister Han, don't be so serious with your expression, I'm just curious, just ask casually." ”

She couldn't figure out Xiao Yan's temperament, but she still replied seriously: "I just want to be stable and be a competent county lord." It would be great if you could be accompanied by three or five beautiful men. ”

Xiao Han was telling the truth, because she knew that from the moment she became the prince's companion, she and Xiao Qi were in the same boat.

Once anything happens to Xiao Qi, then as a 'princeling', she will naturally not end well.

Probably didn't expect to hear such an answer, Xiao Qi was both surprised and funny, and he really laughed.

After that, he took the initiative to change the topic and never mentioned the previous matter.

Rowing was a little tired, Xiao Han made a gesture towards the shore, and a secret guard appeared at the bow of the boat and rowed the boat to the shore.

After the two got off the boat, it was already time for dinner, Xiao Han instructed Liu Xing to pass the meal, and the two of them waited for the next person to serve the food in the pavilion by the lake.

She mentioned the matter of the Taishi to Xiao Qi again, and by the way, asked him if he had any requirements for the Taishi.

Xiao Qi was not very interested and said: "Aren't those famous Confucians all a group of old-fashioned, it doesn't make a difference who they replace, right?!" ”

From him, it seemed that he couldn't ask anything, but she had expected this result.

At this time, the people in the house began to serve the dishes one after another.

This is the first time that the master of the county lord's mansion has returned to the mansion for dinner, and there is also His Royal Highness the Prince, a distinguished guest, and the chef in the mansion can be said to have done his best, and the meals he cooked were extraordinarily rich.
