It was as if Zhang An had never had any hatred with them.

Hearing Xiao Man say this, Xianglan was dissatisfied, frowned and scolded: "What congratulations, what congratulations does he have as the patriarch, I look at this banquet is too dangerous, madam, you better not go."

Xiao Man was also a little hesitant in his heart, if he wanted to say that this banquet was clearly a Hongmen banquet, if he went by himself, he was afraid that it would be more auspicious and less auspicious, and he would be calculated by that Zhang An.

But if you don't go, at the banquet, all the celebrities in Yuzhou City are there, how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, isn't this obvious that you are afraid of Zhang An, so how can you keep the face of your prefect?

Du Yue looked at the letter, but couldn't make up her mind, staring at Xiao Man's expression, as if she had handed over the decision to Xiao Man.

Xiao Man walked slowly in the hall and said to everyone: "I think I should go to this banquet, first, I should show my face in front of these celebrities in Yuzhou City, so as to tell them that I have taken office as the prefect, and it can be regarded as in front of them, I will declare war with Zhang An in a dignified manner, I will definitely take back the jurisdiction of this Yuzhou City, second, don't forget, Zhang An took away the peach blossom hairpin that Lu Li gave me, I must take the peach blossom hairpin back!"

Hearing Xiao Man say this, everyone exchanged glances with each other, and sure enough, Xiao Man still remembered the peach blossom in his heart, and he must take it back.

Since Xiaoman has decided so, everyone naturally said that they will advance and retreat together with Xiaoman

Li Ran stood beside Xiao Man and said to her: "Xiao Man, we will accompany you on that day, since all the celebrities in Yuzhou City are there, I think it should not be convenient for Zhang An to do it."

Seeing everyone's supportive eyes, Xiao Man bent the corners of his mouth and showed a gentle smile, and after the matter was decided, everyone dispersed and returned to their own rooms.

Xiaoman arranged a house for everyone, and this southernmost house was used as Xiaoman's boudoir.

Xiao Man was staying in the house at this time, packing his luggage well, thinking that he would spend time in Yuzhou in this room in the future.

I don't know why, my nose counts, and my heart can't help but be filled with a sense of sadness.

Because this room was too unfamiliar to her, there was no slightest breath of separation, which made her miss the small cabin in Taoyuan County a little.

Just when Xiao Man was packing up his things, he suddenly found a figure flashing by the window, which made Xiao Man a little scared in his heart, after all, it was in Yuzhou City, which could be described as full of dangers.

But as the prefect, if he doesn't have the courage at all, wouldn't it be too embarrassing.

So Xiaoman tiptoed out, only to see Zhang An's slender and upright figure, standing in front of the corridor, looking like a beauty who came out of the painting.

Xiao Man stared at his face, and he was still a little distracted, as if he had forgotten that Zhang An was her enemy for a moment.

Zhang An turned his head,

smiled at Xiao Man and said, "I didn't expect you to be so capable of escaping my ears and eyes, entering Yuzhou City, and already serving as the prefect."

Hearing Zhang An say this, Xiao Man felt a little angry, and frowned slightly.

"What are you doing here, are you going to kill me?"

Zhang An smiled. To say that he has been worried about Su Xiaoman in the past few days. How could he kill her so easily.

Zhang An took out the peach blossom hairpin from his sleeve, shook it in front of Xiao Man, and said to Xiao Man: "I'm afraid that you will forget this and won't come to me."

When Xiao Man saw the peach blossom hairpin, he stretched out his hand and wanted to snatch it back, but Zhang An gently withdrew his hand and quickly hid the peach blossom hairpin in his sleeve, so that Xiao Man could not succeed.

Seeing Zhang An's deliberate pastime like this, Xiao Man's face showed an angry look, and he said to Zhang An: "You hurry up and return the peach blossom hairpin to me, what are you going to do, and dare to trespass on the yamen, believe it or not, I'll find someone to arrest you!"

Hearing Xiao Man say this, Zhang An opened the folding fan, smiled lightly at the back of the folding fan, and said to Xiao Man: "Xiao Man, you are so naïve, your ability to be a soldier also wants to catch me?" I'm afraid you're not talking about a dream, did you receive the invitation I gave you? ”

Xiao Man listened to Zhang An's gentle tone, and always felt that he had returned to the days when they had just met, when Xiao Man regarded him as an ordinary tea seller, and took out a heart that really wanted to be friends with him, but he didn't expect the reality to be so unacceptable.

"Naturally."

I heard that Xiaoman received an invitation. Zhang An's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he hurriedly asked, "Then are you going to come to the succession ceremony of our Zhang family patriarch?"

Su Xiaoman was a little confused at this time, could it be that Zhang An went to great lengths to break into this yamen just to ask her, would she like to go to the ceremony?

Xiaoman looked at the scenery next to him, at this time there was no one here, only some bird calls, it seemed very quiet, Su Xiaoman said in a very small voice: "I will go, and I will not only go, I will also give my peach blossom hairpin back on the day of the banquet."

When Su Xiaoman said this, she could be said to be extremely weak-hearted, after all, the Zhang family can be described as a tiger's den in Longtan, and she didn't know if she was alive when she went, but she kept saying that she wanted to get the peach blossom hairpin back, and she sounded a little arrogant.

Hearing that Xiaoman was so courageous, Zhang Anxin felt that he liked Su Xiaoman even more, worthy of being the woman he fancied, no matter how she tossed her, she had a kind of hard work that she was unwilling to give up.

If it were another woman, I was afraid that Zhang An would be tired of it now, how could he break through the obstacles and come to the yamen in Yuzhou, just to see her.

"I came today, just to ask this sentence, I'm afraid that you will forget me, and I'm afraid that you don't want to come to our Zhang family's succession ceremony, since you are willing to come, that's the best, I'll be

Holding a peach blossom hairpin, waiting for you. ”

After speaking, this Zhang An flew out of the yamen and disappeared in front of Xiao Man like a gust of wind.

Xiao Man stared at the place where he left, stared for a long time, and always felt a little melancholy in his heart, to say that Zhang An is really strange, he treats others with all kinds of cruelty, but he always treats himself like a spring breeze.

Facing a two-faced person like him, Xiaoman really didn't know how he should get along with him.

Just when Xiaoman was in a daze, Pearl and Xianglan came over, and when they saw Xiaoman blowing the wind on the porch alone, they hurriedly ran over, and Xiaoman pulled him back into the house.

Along the way, Pearl was nagging: "Madam, what are you doing, why are you blowing the wind on the porch alone, what if you get a cold."

Xianglan next to her said to Xiaoman in an official uniform: "Madam, look, this is the official uniform of the prefect of Yuzhou, and you will wear the official uniform to Zhang's house that day."

Xiao Man looked at this official uniform, it was made very gorgeously, this stitch and thread were very close, and it seemed that the best embroidery girl was also invited, and it was made with the best embroidery method, which took a lot of thought.

Seeing Xiao Man's expectant eyes, Pearl said on the side: "Madam, why don't you try it now, and let us see your demeanor as an official of the imperial court."

This Xiaoman was indeed a little eager to try, so he couldn't hold back his excitement, stood up, and took the official uniform from Xiang Xianglan.

In just a moment, Xiao Man had already changed into his official uniform, walked out from behind the curtain, and saw Xiao Man's energetic appearance, putting on his official uniform, just like a young man.

Xianglan and Pearl looked at each other and smiled, and said to Xiao Man: "Madam, you look so good in this official uniform, I thought that when you wore this official uniform, you would look old-fashioned like those elders in the court, but I didn't expect you to wear this official uniform, and you actually look graceful, it is simply tailor-made for you."

Hearing Xianglan praise herself like this, Xiao Man couldn't help blushing a little, glanced at Xianglan with disgust, and said to her: What are you talking about, it's just a set of official uniforms, how can you be so exaggerated.

Xianglan saw that Xiaoman was shy, so she teased her even more boldly: "Madam, this official uniform is really handsome, if you arrive at the banquet of the Zhang family that day, they will definitely be impressed by your momentum."

Xiao Man looked at himself again, and the scene of her arrival at the Zhang family came to her mind, and she didn't know how many celebrities would appear in the Zhang family at that time, and she didn't know how Zhang An would treat herself, in short, the joy of putting on the official uniform was instantly washed away by the apprehensive mood.

Seeing Xiao Man's expression, he became melancholy again, and Xianglan hurriedly comforted: "Madam, don't worry about that Zhang An's matter, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge."

Xiao Man nodded, and now he can only think so.

At this time, Lu Li, who was far away in Beijing, was not idle, to say that in Yuzhou City, he naturally arranged some spies, this

Some spies kept going to Beijing to spread the news back to Yuzhou.

Seeing that the secret report wrote that Xiaoman and Du Yue had arrived in Yuzhou and took up the prefect, his heart calmed down.

To say that in the past few days, he couldn't get any news of Xiaoman, so he couldn't sleep well all night, and he dreamed that Xiaoman had been assassinated by Zhang An at night.

Every time I wake up, I constantly regret it in my heart, if I have a tough attitude, it would be good if I didn't let Xiaoman become a court official.

Even if Xiaoman regrets it for a lifetime, at least she stays by her side safely.

Just as Lu left his heart, Huang Shangshu walked in and said hello to Lu Li.

Lu Li felt a little strange, to say that there was nothing big recently, why did Huang Shangshu come to see him alone, so he immediately asked: Huang Shangshu, is there something going on today?

Huang Shangshu nodded, then took out a small cloth bag from his clothes, handed it to Lu Li, and said to Lu Li: Your Majesty, Weichen has recently discovered some incredible things, so he has come to present it to the emperor to take a look.
