Pi Xiaoliu's demonstration was very effective, and the children who wanted to give gifts before began to muster up their courage, stepped forward and said more or less two words of longing, nervously handed the gift to Ruan Miaoling, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Ting and Rabbit Yue led the children into the door, but this time He Minglang did not rush to the front.

The other partners may have been immersed in the joy of seeing Sister Ruan and didn't notice anything wrong, but he has always been active and delicate, but he can see it at a glance!

Sister Ruan is missing a maid named Wen'er by her side. Why is that? Is your child married? But she's quite fierce, which stupid big one is so easy to fall for her way?

He Minglang touched his chin and pondered.

Didn't you ask if you showed your skills in the northwest and was left to be a general? Uh, it seems unlikely, Daddy said that the general has a little bit of material in his stomach, and at most he is more outstanding in martial arts, and the strategy level needs to be improved......

When he was still struggling with the problem, Ruan Miaoling didn't know how many words he had to say, but fortunately, his ears were still very sensitive, and as soon as he heard Ruan Miaoling mention "Chen Ma", he immediately curbed the conjecture that spread out of the sky.

After the beginning of spring, Chen Ma went to the school to study, and he could only go home once in half a month. I wanted to write to the Master to ask him to be accommodating, but the Master was one step ahead of me and sent a letter to my father...... In the letter, I also implore my family to restrain me more, and don't learn from those squishful children. ”

Ruan Miaoling rubbed his unhappy cheeks and took out a peace blessing bag to show him. "Oh, Chen Matuo sent it."

He Minglang frowned and sniffed lightly, and a familiar scent of ink entered his spleen and lungs, which was the same as the ink used by the master.

The corners of his mouth twitched, but he pouted and said, "I didn't expect the master to be quite righteous......

"You are also very righteous, Gongzi He!" Ruan Miaoling lightly pounded He Minglang's small chest, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the last child jumping into the door, laughing and carrying him into the house.

The moment the two turned around, an ordinary carriage sped past them. Behind the curtain, a pair of affectionate eyes kept watching the two people entering the door, until the scene in front of them changed to the face of the vendor, and the light in these eyes gradually faded.

"Deliberately picked this path to go, not to visit the old friend?"

Dong Guomo took a bite of the dry food he had prepared, chewed it a few times, and then lifted the water bladder and poured a mouthful of water. Feeling the rice and water roll into his stomach together, he let out a sigh of satisfaction.

Lowering the curtain, Lu Yue narrowed his eyes and smiled at Dong Guomo, "It's better to wait for my uncle's consent before visiting." Where is the gentleman going to take me before leaving? Where to stay? Wait for Lu Yue to settle down at his uncle's house, so that he can go to find Mr. ”

"You take care of yourself and you'll get it...... Dong Guomo handed Lu Yue the pigeon meat buns that still had residual warmth, wiped the chopsticks with a damp cloth, and added a glass of water to him. Don't go back with your uncle...... Forget it, I've just told it hundreds of times, and you'll still say it, whatever you want! ”

Lu Yue took a big bite of the meat bun with confidence, and said vaguely: "Mr. still knows Lu Yue best." ”

Dong Guo Mo sighed twice, raised his hand to wipe the bun crumbs from his mouth, and couldn't help but confess two more sentences: "When I arrived at my uncle's house, everything I ate and drank had to be carefully checked with a silver needle before I could enter it......

"If it's inconvenient to check, I don't eat or drink, I know it. What should I do, sir, if I want to taste your craft? ”

"Bear with it!" Dong Guo Mo pursed his lips and said in a voice that only he could hear: "Sister Yun doesn't like to eat as much as you ......"

From He Fangnian receiving Xu Yuan's invitation to being invited to take his son to Xu's mansion, it was only half an hour, but many people were so busy with this matter that their feet did not touch the ground.

Countless spies tracked down to the door of the Xu Mansion, took a sip of hot tea, and after confirming that He Fangnian had really entered the Xu Mansion, he left two coins and scattered.

In front of the homes of the eighth, nine-grade and idle officials prepared chariots, horses, soft sedan chairs, handlebars, and sedan chair drivers were all in full array, and the spies rushed forward, and did not enter the door to report, but only raised one foot and kicked the gong at the door.

"Boom!"

There was a sound, and a vague figure flew out of the door, and slammed into the carriage or soft sedan chair, "Hurry up!" ”

This voice resounded one after another in the connected and connected alleys, and the handlebar and the sedan chair driver swayed and lifted their feet handily, and rushed in all directions.

In contrast, the front of the homes of the sixth- and seventh-rank officials was a little deserted, but the front of the houses of the fourth- and fifth-grade officials was full of visitors, and after a while, all kinds of ordinary cars and sedan chairs blocked half of the street.

There were especially many people who visited the Li Mansion, but it was unfortunate that the first assistant Li Chongshan was recuperating in bed due to the wind and cold, so he was unable to receive them.

When Shi Zhangbi arrived, he was startled by the crowd of people in front of him.

He knew that he couldn't go to the front door at this time, so he shook off the linen cloak on his body, went around to the back door of the Li Mansion, and raised his hand to knock three times as agreed.

It was not the steward of the Li Mansion who Shi Zhangbi was familiar with, which frightened him again. "Li Gongzi is going out of the house?"

Li Bozhang ignored the thick uncertainty in Shi Zhangbi's words, and said sideways: "Master Shi, please come in, my father is waiting in the hall." ”

Shi Zhangbi said he didn't understand Li Bozhang's sudden change, and Li Chongshan naturally felt it, explaining: "I have already explained the cause and effect to Bozhang, and he thought about it for a while and finally agreed. ”

Shi Zhangbi felt that Li Chongshan was very happy, congratulated him, and immediately cut to the chase: "The officials transferred He Fangnian from Ruyang Mansion to the capital, but they didn't arrange a real job for him for a long time, so we couldn't touch the north...... Right now, He Fangnian went to the Xu Mansion to meet Xu Xiushu in person regardless of the eyes of others, will there be any intention of joining forces? ”

"What prompted them to join forces, do you have any questions?" Li Chongshan didn't really ask Shi Zhangbi, and quickly said: "Xu Yuan originally regarded the King of Han as the head of the horse, but now that the King of Han has gone west, his ownerless grass will be criticized no matter whether he advances or retreats. ”

Shi Zhangbi savored his words, "What do you mean, He Fangnian is just meeting with Xu Xiu today?" ”

Li Chongshan said: "He Fangnian is Xu Yuan's husband, and it is normal for master and apprentice to meet. After a pause, he suddenly added, "If someone is trying to win over He Fangnian, the significance of today's meeting is a different matter. ”

"Who do you mean?" Shi Zhangbi glanced at Li Bozhang, who had been listening in the room, and hesitated: "Is it the new emperor?" Or is it the King of Chengping who does not live in front of others? ”

Li Chongshan smiled: "The shore of the land is not the king's minister, if the emperor wants to reuse He Fangnian, why should I use the word "woo"? ”
