Chapter 173: Welcoming the Divine Decree

Early the next morning, Mai Xiaohuan was busy in the kitchen, and since he had to cook, even the family's share was made. When the soft glutinous porridge, refreshing side dishes, and fluffy bean buns were delivered to the small courtyard, Xiaoquanzi rubbed his hands and asked if he had his own share?

"Yes, how dare I forget you! There are also a few guards and big brothers, you can take them all in! ”

"Won't you come in and eat together?"

Mai Xiaohuan shook her head, and when she stepped into Zhou Yue's residence again, her mother had to cry urgently.

Seeing that her daughter was doing well today, Shan Cuihua sandwiched a bun for her, and the two children and Chen Qiuniang sat at the small table on the side to eat. This is what Mai Xiaoyuan meant, Chen Qiuniang didn't want to sit with this eldest sister, she only looked at herself with disgust in her eyes.

"Xiao Huan's food is really good, look at what our family Jiguang eats, mother, I want to stay here for a few more days."

Chen Qiuniang held the hand of the chopsticks for a moment, she and Mai Xiaoyuan looked at each other with disgust, this one was much more difficult to get along with than Mai Xiaohuan. However, she also knew that she had no part to speak by herself here, and could only listen to her mother-in-law's arrangement.

It is time for more people to stay in the villa, the man stares at the son, the woman looks at Xiao Huan, and he will send a letter to the two in-laws, and quickly introduce a mother-in-law to the little girl: "I have already asked people to pass the word to your father this morning, let them come back." ”

Mother is really confused, if she can get close to that son, it is not much better than letting my sister keep this broken place and marry the rich man. Xiao Huan doesn't look like she cares, she doesn't know how outstanding that son is, if she is a few years younger, she will definitely be fascinated, but it's a pity that she was born at the wrong time! Mai Xiaoyuan sighed in his heart while eating.

When Mai Wang's father and son came back, Zhou Yue walked out of the courtyard, don't look at what Shan Cuihua said when she discussed with her family, as soon as she saw Zhou Yue's mouth, she didn't listen to her call.

"Your face looks much stronger now than it did yesterday afternoon." Now that it's good, let's go back after a few days of cultivation! Mai Xiaohuan said half of the words and left half of them.

"Uncle Mai, Aunt Mai." Zhou Yue gave a shallow salute and greeted Mai Wan and his wife.

What can I do? Do you bow and bow too? Mai Wang and Shan Cuihua both looked at Mai Xiaohuan, waiting for her to give her an idea.

"Ahem, Master Mai, Mrs. Mai, please prepare the incense case, we have a holy decree to read." Xiao Quanzi opened his mouth to make a request under the signal of Zhou Yue's eyes.

What is the identity of this person, and how can he still have a holy decree in his hand, it can't be a fake! Mai Xiaohuan walked up to Xiao Quanzi, covered his mouth with his hands, and asked in a low voice: "Don't play too big, it's not a joke to pass on the holy decree." "The false decree is to kill the head, but Mai Xiaohuan didn't dare to say it directly.

Unless they are tired of living, who would dare to falsely proclaim the Holy Decree! Xiao Quanzi bowed his head and told Mai Xiaohuan to prepare, and if he did not respect the holy decree, he would also be punished. Couldn't get used to seeing the two of them get so close, Zhou Yue asked An Bao and An Ying to go down to prepare things, and he guessed that the Mai family didn't know what to do.

If you want to ask Mai Xiaohuan what she hates most when she comes to Xirui, it is nothing more than kneeling down to people at every turn, she just wanted to kneel behind Mai Wang, Zhou Yue told her to come to the front, because the holy decree was for her.

A large number of people also, Mai Xiaohuan only understood the general meaning, that is, the emperor appointed Zhou Yue as a messenger to supervise the planting of corn and potatoes, and the emperor gave them a two-year deadline, if they succeeded, they would be rewarded for their merits.

Is he going to live in the lodge for two years? Wouldn't I have to serve him like I did when I was in Yifeng Garden, when I was small, and the Lotus Courtyard was closed, and I could barely talk about going in and out of his place all day long. Now I'm about to turn fourteen......

"I hope we will cooperate happily, and I will take care of Uncle Mai and Aunt Mai in the future." Zhou Yue admired Mai Xiaohuan's expression of wanting to cry without tears, and pretended to be a decent gentleman to thank Mai Wan and his wife.

People are very bad, Mai Wan stood up and returned the salute awkwardly, and the girl didn't know what it meant, just sat there in a daze. The child's mother's plan has also come to naught, and this son is estimated to be living in his own house for a while, strange, why didn't the holy decree mention what his identity was?

This is also what Zhou Yue meant, he is afraid that the Mai family will avoid him because of his identity, and he also wants to get closer to Mai Wang and Shan Cuihua! Scaring people away is more than worth the loss.

"Why do I think something is wrong?" After receiving the holy decree, Mai Xiaohuan looked at it for a long time, and muttered, the emperor casually gave an order, and he had to obey it, so why bother sending a messenger to him? And this person happens to be Zhou Yue, it stands to reason that the emperor and the queen mother should not send him to such a place to do such an errand, could it be that his position as the son of the world has been lost?

It seems impossible to send this son away as soon as possible, so he can only implement the second set of plans, find a mother-in-law for his daughter, and can't let her be alone with this person, even his own old man doesn't want to take his eyes off when he sees this son, let alone the little girls, in case the girl falls in, it can be called every day and the earth is not spiritual.

Holding back a smile, Zhou Yue said very seriously: "Is it clear that the holy decree is not said?" I will plant corn and potatoes with you, and if I succeed, we will all be rewarded. ”

I don't want a reward, will you go back to the capital? Among the people I know, there is no one more outstanding than Zhou Yue, in two years, who knows what will happen, what if I can't help but like him? Is it really his concubine, no, resolutely not.

As if they should leave some time alone for their family to digest the news, Zhou Yue walked out elegantly, Shan Cuihua and Mai Xiaoyuan looked at his back, and felt that it was more chic and elegant than painting immortals.

"Oh! I forgot to say, Xiao Huan, you promised to help me cook in the future yesterday! In exchange, if there is anything to tell me, I will satisfy you. ”

The reason why I agreed to help him cook and eat yesterday was because I thought that he would leave after staying for three or five days at most, and I never dreamed that such a thing would happen. If this is the result, how can you jump into the fire pit?

Now what? Say yes or no? Mai Xiaohuan said playfully: "I will definitely help you do it when I have time, forget it every day!" We should put the things explained by the emperor in the first place, and it is wrong to put the appetite in the back. ”

She just said "we", Zhou Yue only heard these two words in his ears, and the others just didn't hear it, and he renamed the small courtyard where he lived "Huantianju".

It wasn't until Zhou Yue's figure was out of sight that Shan Cuihua's tongue was recovered: "Xiao Huan, what can I do!" Do you have to stay together for two years, in that case, how can you find your in-laws! ”

Everyone in the family noticed the seriousness of the problem, only Mai Xiaoyuan was happy in her heart, her sister was really lucky, this son was clearly here for her, only the honest father couldn't see the form.

Zhou Yue, who went out, met Qu Hao who came in a hurry in the courtyard, but in fact, Qu Zhiyi's letter arrived earlier than Zhou Yue. However, Qu Hao was in Qingcheng County at the time, and after he came back, he inspected the surroundings of Tongbei County, and only returned to his residence at noon yesterday. After reading my father's letter, I rushed here early in the morning, but it turned out to be too late.

"Quxian Ling is here to deliver a letter, how about finding a place for us to talk?"

Let's talk about it, are you still afraid that he won't succeed, seeing the three words "Huan Tianju", Qu Hao's heart sank, the purpose of this person coming to find his righteous sister is quite obvious, and he is indeed a step late. Even if it's too late, I still have to say: "Lord Shizi, please leave the villa and return to Beijing as soon as possible, Xiao Huan...... Raise your noble hands. ”

"You're not her, how do you know she's not welcoming me? I don't know what was written in Master Qu's letter, but he would never know what Uncle Huang promised me after he left the imperial study. I will never leave here, if someone deliberately slanders and humiliates me in front of Xiao Huan, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

"The prince dares to say that the granddaughter of Scholar Liu will not marry into the palace, isn't Han Ruixue a candidate for your side room?"

"I don't deny that there used to be such a thing, but now I have nothing to do with them. If you don't believe it, you can write back immediately and ask, and ask if Chenwangfu and these two families have married. But before there is definite news, if you talk nonsense in front of Xiao Huan, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between you and the Mai family. ”

What happened, it seems that after Daddy left the palace, Zhou Yue's affairs have changed. Qu Hao didn't want Zhou Yue to get close to his sister-in-law, but before there was any definite news, the letter in his arms was really not suitable to be taken out.

The words that wanted to persuade Zhou Yue to leave rolled on his lips, but he also took it back, everyone else came, and he would not leave easily, so he could only observe for a while.

Doing things with smart people is worry-free, Zhou Yue knew that Qu Hao had a great influence on Mai Xiaohuan, and he didn't want to make too much trouble with him. Let him promise to be good to Mai Xiaohuan in front of a man for the rest of his life and marry her as his wife, but now he can't say it, the two sit opposite each other and drink tea silently.

"Lord Shizi, Miss Xiaohuan is outside the door, she heard that the Quxian Order is coming, and she wants to see it." Xiaofuzi escorted the necessities of Zhou Yue's life in the back, and he just arrived today.

Qu Hao showed a gentle smile on his face, put down the cup and said goodbye to Zhou Yue: "Xiao Huan is like my own sister, I don't want her to be hurt, if the prince can't let her live a happy and free life, then please let her go." ”

"It's my business with her, and I'll take care of it."

The courtyard door opened and closed, and Zhou Yue, who was standing in the door, listened to Mai Xiaohuan ask Qu Hao how he came into the courtyard, and when did it have a name here, the three words "Huantianju" were strange everywhere, and Zhou Yue was becoming more and more abnormal.

"I heard that the emperor asked about Tongbei County, I asked the prince about it, and there was nothing else."

It's okay, Zhou Yue and Mai Xiaohuan were relieved when they heard this, Mai Xiaohuan took Qu Hao to see his father, and told him on the way not to tell Zhou Yue's identity as the son, his father and mother were already frightened, so don't stimulate them.

The little bad is now in touch with himself, and he thinks the same way, and the two of them are getting more and more tacit! Zhou Yue walked back with square steps, and then tasted tea.
