Chapter 727: Succession Ceremony
So at this time, Xianglan directly pushed open the door, but she didn't expect that there were two naked people sleeping on the bed, Xianglan looked carefully, the person next to Xiaoman, wasn't it Lu Li.
didn't expect the emperor to come to Yuzhou suddenly, while Xiaoman was still in a daze at this time, and Lu Li didn't wake up, Xianglan hurriedly put the lunch plate on the table, ran out in a hurry, and closed the door.
To say that Xianglan is just a ten-year-old child, where has she ever seen such a scene, her heart is pounding at this moment, and she has become flustered when she walks, and she suddenly bumped into the oncoming Du Yue.
When Du Yue saw Xianglan's strange expression, she naturally felt a little weird, so she asked: "Xianglan, what's wrong with you, I see that you came out of Xiaoman's room, could it be that something happened to Xiaoman?" β
Xianglan recalled the spring just now, and hurriedly waved her hand and said to Du Yue: "It's nothing, it's nothing, Mrs. She's very good, nothing happened." β
When Du Yue heard that Xiao Man was fine, she relieved herself, nodded, and said to Xianglan: "That's just right, I have something to find Xiao Man." β
Hearing that Du Yue had something to find Xiaoman, Xianglan was naturally anxious, for fear that Du Yue would be in a hurry at that time, so she directly pushed open the door and walked in, wouldn't it be the same as herself, peeping into something that shouldn't be seen.
So at this moment, Xianglan hurriedly grabbed Du Yue and didn't let Du Yue take another step.
No, Madame has something to do now, you can't go to her, why don't you go back to your room and read a book.
Du Yue was said by Xianglan, naturally felt a little inexplicable, scratched her head, she had already read the book after processing the official document today, she just felt tired, and wanted to talk to Xiaoman about the future plan, and also relieve her fatigue.
Unexpectedly, Xianglan behaved strangely, so he had to pull himself back to the house to read a book, of course he was not happy, so he shook off Xianglan and said: "Xianglan, I think why are you so strange today, but I really have something to do with Xiaoman, don't stop me." β
Du Yue walked straight towards Xiaoman's room, Xianglan saw it, she was naturally very scared, and hurriedly grabbed Du Yue's clothes from behind, and said to Du Yue: "No, no, you just can't go, if you go in, then step on my corpse." β
Du Yue saw that Xianglan was neither willing to tell herself what was going on in Xiao Man's room, nor did she want to let herself go to see Xiao Man, so she was even more curious for a while, and wanted to find out what was in Xiao Man's room.
So these two people were noisy and noisy at the door of Xiaoman, and when Pearl passed by, he saw these two people making noise at the door, which was simply unseemly, so he shouted at the two of them: "What are you two doing, Madame is resting at this time, what is the way to fight!" β
Du Yue felt aggrieved at this time, and if she wanted to say that the trouble was obviously caused by Xianglan, she explained to Pearl: "Sister Pearl, it's not my fault, it's obviously Xianglan, she doesn't know what she's doing, she just won't let me go to Xiaoman." β
Xianglan immediately confessed herself when she heard Du Yue, and twisted Du Yue's arm fiercely to express her dissatisfaction with him.
Pearl looked at the two happy enemies, could only sigh, shook her head, and asked Xianglan: "Xianglan, what happened in Madame's room, you tell me quickly." β
Su Xiaoman blushed at this time, pointed to Xiaoman's room, and couldn't say a word.
Seeing Xianglan's shy expression, Pearl suddenly understood a little, and walked towards Xiaoman's room.
At this time, Xiao Man had already gotten up, and called Lu Li up by the way, only to see that as soon as the pearl opened the door, he saw that Xiao Man was already dressing Lu Li.
Seeing Lu Li coming, Pearl was naturally frightened, but she had always been cautious, and her expression couldn't be nervous at this time.
I only saw Pearl salute Lu Li and said, "I wonder why the emperor suddenly appeared here?" β
Lu Li glanced at Pearl, to say that Pearl is also an old man in Lu Mansion, he is so unfamiliar with him at this time, he is a little unaccustomed to it, but Pearl's temperament is like this, so Lu Li smiled and said to Pearl: "Pearl, in fact, you don't have to treat me like this, you are so familiar with us, why bother with an emperor, you might as well be like Li Ran, and still treat me like before." β
Pearl thought about it, Li Ran's unruly appearance, he always felt that he was still a little scared in his heart if he was going to treat Lu Li like this, so he immediately said to Lu Li: "Yes, Your Majesty, Pearl will pay attention to it in the future." β
Lu Li saw that the pearl was still so regular, and he knew that he couldn't change the habit of the pearl, so he smiled at Xiaoman and winked.
Xiao Man helped the pearl up and said to the pearl: Lu "Li came to look for me this time, it is also for the succession ceremony of the Zhang family, when the matter is done, Lu Li will leave, you will serve carefully in the past few days, don't let Lu Li's coming to Yuzhou leak out." β
Pearl immediately nodded, to say that the emperor's visit was a big deal, so she immediately took Xianglan and Du Yue to her room to warn them about the seriousness of the matter.
Du Yue hadn't seen Lu Li since the last time she set off from Beijing, and she always wanted to play a piece of her newly learned guqin song to Lu Li, after all, the Nine Heavens Ring was still given to him by Lu Li.
It's just that he thought that he and Xiaoman were tired at this time, and it was not good to disturb them, so Du Yue listened to Xianglan's words and honestly read in the house.
A few days later, it was the succession ceremony of the Zhang family, which was scheduled after noon, and Xiaoman began to dress up from the morning.
To say that this is the first time he has appeared in front of celebrities in Yuzhou, he must not lose his momentum.
Xianglan originally wanted to comb a man's hair bun for Xiaoman, which would be more in line with Xiaoman's official uniform, but Xianglan's actions attracted Xiaoman's opposition.
Xiao Man sat in front of the mirror and said eloquently: "No, I must not wear a man's attire, I must look like a woman, so as to tell them that I, as a woman, can also be the prefect of Yuzhou, and none of them can stop me." β
Hearing that Xiao Man was so resolute, Xianglan naturally gave Xiao Man a good hair, put Xiao Man's gorgeous hair accessories on wear, and then grease and powder Xiao Man, so that Xiao Man's whole person looked radiant.
Xiao Man walked out of the mansion, at this time Li Ran and Lu Li were already waiting for him at the door of the yamen, Du Yue also wore the same official uniform as Xiao Man at this time, but Du Yue was young and relatively short, so he couldn't support this official uniform at this time, and it seemed procrastinating.
Seeing Du Yue's appearance, Xianglan couldn't help but smile and said to Du Yue: "If you have time, take off this official uniform and let me change it for you." β
Hearing that Xianglan was willing to change her clothes, Du Yue naturally blushed and became shy.
"That's... That's great, I took off this official uniform when I went back, the sleeves were so long, I put it on, it was like I had stolen my father's clothes. β
"Alright, since everyone has arrived, let's go."
So Xiao Man took the two maids of Pearl and Xianglan, this Lu Li, as Du Yue's manservant, followed behind, and then brought an accompanying military attachΓ©, Li Ran, the prefect, and came to the door of Zhang's house.
Xiaoman and Du Yue had just gotten out of the car, and the Zhang family immediately sent someone out, only to see that the doorman's mouth was like smearing honey, and he said a few words of congratulations to Xiaoman, and invited Su Xiaoman in.
When Xiaoman's front foot just stepped into Zhang's house, the doorman immediately reported inside: "Su Zhifu, Du Zhifu has arrived." β
Hearing these two names, the guests inside turned their heads one after another, looking at these two people with shocked looks in their eyes.
After all, these two prefects have never shown up in Yuzhou, and when they see them now, a woman and a child, they naturally feel a little surprised, and they don't know what means these two people have, so that the emperor appreciates them so much and sends them such a fat messenger as the prefect.
After Xiao Man came in, he saw Zhang An in the center of the crowd, Zhang An smiled gently at Xiao Man at this time, but this smile made Xiao Man feel a little creepy, and immediately turned his face away, unwilling to deal with Zhang An.
But Xiaoman didn't care about Zhang An, it didn't mean that Zhang An wouldn't take the initiative to find Xiaoman, only to see Zhang An walk through the crowd, walked in front of Xiaoman, and said to Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, you really look good in your official uniform, but you always feel that something is missing on your head, why don't you bring the magnolia hairpin I gave you?" β
Xiao Man glared, Zhang An obviously knew that he was unwilling to accept her magnolia hairpin, how could he accept it at this time, so he replied angrily: "Young Master Zhang, don't waste your efforts, I naturally came today to congratulate you on becoming the sect master of the Zhang family, and I have also prepared a few small gifts, which have been handed over to your doorman." β
Hearing that Xiaoman had prepared a gift for himself, Zhang An felt very happy, so he opened the folding fan and used the folding fan to cover his smile, for fear that the ecstasy in his heart would also be spied on by others.
But at this time, Xiao Man thought in his heart that the ring of the patriarch of the family was in his hand, as long as he handed over the ring to Zhang An's younger brother Zhang Yue later, that Zhang An would definitely have no chance with the position of the sect leader of the Zhang family.
I don't know if Zhang An can afford this gift.
I only saw that at this time, a woman came out from behind, this woman was about forty or fifty years old, she looked quite haggard, and when she came to Su Xiaoman, she said to Su Xiaoman: "Su Zhifu, hello, I am Zhang An's mother and the head mother of this Zhang family. β
Hearing that this person was actually Zhang An's mother, Xiao Man respectfully saluted her, looked at this woman, and looked at the woman with a weak look between her eyebrows and eyes, thinking that she was also a master who was manipulated by others.
