Xu Chen dodged Yan Xun's outstretched hand, his face was as pale as earth, and his mouth seemed to be full of bitter taste left by eating Coptis chinensis.

"It's fine, it's a minor injury."

Yan Xun didn't ask any more questions, and turned to talk to Qin Jie.

Xu Chen listened to the trembling of every inch of his skin, lest the county clerk know about his trip to Xishan to hunt, and looked at Qin Jie with pleading eyes.

"Lord Zhixian instructed Xiaomin to send two pieces of Lintao's homemade smoked meat, and to express his gratitude to Lord Qin! Everything in Xishan is a priceless treasure, if there is a war and chaos, it is all life-saving food, fortunately, Lord Qin sent someone to inform the county lord, otherwise the people of Lintao will suffer. ”

Qin Jiedao: "The same is the official of the imperial court, these are all internal affairs, you take the smoked meat back, and then tell the county lord, his mind is understood by the official." ”

Yan Xun didn't refuse, it was not early, and he had to rush back to Lintao County to return to Zhizhi County, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Xu Chen had never heard Qin Jie and Yan Xun talk about how the wild boar in Xishan had escaped, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked Qin Jie.

"You don't have to thank the official, go back to recuperate with peace of mind, your majesty may not be peaceful in the near future, everyone has to cheer up."

Xu Chen left happily, and immediately asked people to withdraw the troops outside Ruan's house after returning to the camp.

……

Qiu Daqian and Huang Ba got the task assigned by Princess Baozhen, and one went to the jujube forest to squat to see if Xu Chen went to Qin Jie's intercession. The other observed near Ruan's house, and as soon as Xu Chen's troops withdrew, he would come back immediately to report it.

As soon as Qiu Daqian's front foot arrived, Huang Ba entered the Hanging Flower Gate with his back foot, and both of them had smiles on their faces.

There are more than a dozen pots of arrow lotus in the courtyard, Ruan Miaoling is pruning the yellowed and withered stems and leaves of the arrow lotus without a pot, and some of the arrow lotus flowers have passed the flowering period for two days, and the petals have wilted, and they also have to be cut off.

Princess Baozhen was waiting for Runxiang to drink medicine in the back room, and Huang Ba and Qiu Daqian did not go in to disturb her.

Wen'er removed a pot that Ruan Miaoling had trimmed on the table, and lifted another pot and put it in its original position, first asking Qiu Daqian about the specific situation.

Qiu Daqian's mouth was sharp, and after passing through one of his mouths, it immediately became as interesting as the story told by the storyteller, which made Huang Ba laugh beside him.

Ruan Miaoling bent the corners of her mouth, hearing that Xu Chen did not ask for benefits from Qin Jie, but left happily, so she asked Huang Ba if there were other people who went to Qin Jie.

Qiu Daqian said happily: "Miss is so smart! Just half an hour after Lord Xu entered Lord Qin's mansion, a scholar came, and his subordinates inquired, only to know that he was the bookstore next to the county, named Yan Xun. ”

There are bookstores around the county magistrates, which is not surprising, Ruan Miaoling wants to know why this bookstore named Yan Xun arrived at Qin Jie, and Xu Chen came out after a while.

She was thinking about it, and the door came to report, saying that Jinyiwei had come to deliver a message to the third lady.

Ruan Miaoling thought that it was the fifth day of the new year, and asked Huang Ba to bring people, but who knew that what came was just an ordinary brocade guard.

After Jin Yiwei saw Ruan Miaoling, he said concisely: "My lord instructed my subordinates to inform the third lady that there are two people who came to see your lord today, one is Lord Xu Chenxu, and the other is the secretary of Lintao Zhi County, who is here to thank your lordship. ”

Since Qin Jie sent Jinyi Wei here, he must have known the contents, and Ruan Miaoling asked, "Why did that secretary thank you for your family?" ”

Jin Yiwei said: "The hunting ground in Xishan was originally prepared by the government in case the people were displaced and had no rations when the foreign tribes hit Lintao, and Lord Xu went to Xishan to hunt without permission It is equivalent to violating the national law. However, the adults did not inform the secretary of the matter, but said that the beasts of the West Mountain broke out of the fence and asked the county to send someone to repair it. ”

So that's the case, Ruan Miaoling figured it out, and there was no need to elaborate on the situation on Huang Ba's side.

Huang Ba sent the brocade guard outside the gate, and the letter from the capital just arrived.

Since Xu Yuan entered Hanlin, Xiangqiao's letters were all sent together in Xu Yuan's letters, which not only saved the extra trip, but also made it convenient for Ruan Miaoling to read.

Wen'er moved the flower pot away and asked, "Miss, what did Xu Ergongzi write this time?" ”

Qiu Daqian and Huang Ba have often heard Ruan Miaoling and Wen'er mention Xu Yuan recently, and gradually became interested in Xu Yuan.

Ruan Miaoling read the contents of Xu Yuan's letter from beginning to end, and said: "Xu Yuan said that he has chosen to stand on Li Chongshan's side, and the stinky old man who taught me to make drugs went to the capital, and now he lives in the Li Mansion. ”

Dongfang Liang didn't even say hello when he left, Ruan Miaoling thought that he had encountered something big to be like this, but he didn't expect that he was abducted at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

"That's a good dare, Xu Ergongzi has followed Li Chongshan, there are crises anytime and anywhere, maybe he will die at any time, with Mr. Changming watching from the side, there is only one breath left, and he will be able to come back!"

Qiu Daqian and Huang Ba squinted and asked.

Wen'er recently mentioned Xu Yuan, and his tone was kind, but he always cursed Xu Yuan at every turn between his words.

A woman's heart, a needle at the bottom of the sea, Qiu Daqian and Huang Ba sighed at the same time.

Inside the house, Princess Baozhen finished drinking the medicine and stood by the window to look at the situation in the courtyard.

Previously, Qin Jie's Jinyi Wei came to deliver a message, and what happened when Xu Yuan's letter was sent, Princess Baozhen saw it, which made her have a lot of ideas for a while.

Qin Jie's heart for Miaoling, Princess Baozhen could see it, and after hearing Wen'er, Qin Jie's care for Miaoling was very different from what was rumored.

And Qin Jie's appearance ability is obvious to all, as far as she knows, among the ten sons of the Qin family, only Qin Jie's talent is the highest, and he can take charge of himself the most. In the future, when Miaoling is with him, she will definitely be spoiled by Qin Jie.

Qin Jie's father, Qin Hai, and Princess Baozhen remember that he was a person who coexisted with grace and power. And Mrs. Qin is a kind-hearted person, if Miaoling marries in the future, her in-laws will love her, and she won't have to worry about these in the future.

And Xu Yuan is different.

Yanliang's death seems to be implicated in the Xu family, although Princess Baozhen did not find strong evidence to prove it at this time, but she has been faintly worried in her heart.

Wen'er told her all about the situation in Pingyang, and the Xu family's attitude towards Miaoling was not a simple marriage, but wanted to rely on Miaoling's identity and her identity as Princess Baozhen to profit from it...... A family that has had bad intentions from the beginning, no matter how good Xu Yuan is, Princess Baozhen will put him in the back row.

"Runxiang, you've been with Miss recently, have you ever heard her compare Lord Qin with Xu Yuan?"

Runxiang was picking up the medicine bowl, she was stunned when she heard this, thought about it carefully, shook her head and said, "Miss never compares Lord Qin and Xu Yuan with each other, once I asked my son to talk about this in front of Miss, and I was reprimanded by Miss." ”
