Su Ziang sent Li Lie out of the house, and Jin Nian was still waiting for him in Mo Yuxuan.

After a cup of tea, he returned, and said with some emotion: "The British Duke should be the leader of the new generation of noble families!" In the past, most of the children of the noble families he saw were gentlemen, but Li Lie was different from them.

Listening to this tone, it seems that Su Ziang is looking at Li Lie differently, if he knows that Li Lie will make more achievements in the future, I am afraid that he will be even more impressed!

Thinking of this, Jin Nian was curious, "Big brother, how did you meet?" "The scholarly family has always disdained to associate with the nobles, believing that the nobles are in the shadows and get nothing for nothing, and there are few people who are truly talented and learned.

"I met at a banquet at my eldest brother-in-law's house!" As if remembering something, Su Ziang smiled, "I haven't said a few words, I didn't expect him to come to the door today to ask for books." ”

The eldest brother-in-law's house is Ningyuan Houfu.

If I remember correctly, the second lady of the British Mansion, Li Lie's aunt Zhang, is the girl from Ningyuan Houfu and the aunt of the eldest brother-in-law.

Jin Nian remembered such a person, or because of Li Lie's fame in the southwest, he turned against his uncle and aunt, and also drove the Zhang couple out of the Guogong Mansion, because of this incident, plus the name of his wife, Li Lie's reputation in Beijing became even worse.

Thinking of Li Lie's cold appearance, the act of personally coming to the door to ask for a book is indeed surprising, "Isn't the British Duke going back to Beijing?" Why didn't you even bring an entourage, and you still came to ask for a book by yourself? "Even if the British government does not have the "Southwest Geographical Atlas", can the huge capital still find one?

Su Ziang shook his head, "He sent all his entourage to look for books, and I heard that he searched most of Yangzhou City but didn't find this book." ”

Speaking of this, Su Ziang sighed: "He didn't go back to the capital, but went to the southwest!" When he heard Li Lie say that he was going to the southwest when he came to find him, he was startled, and thought it was the holy will, but he never thought that Li Lie took the initiative to ask Ying to check the military situation.

A few years ago, when the current Zhennan Hou rebelled in the southwest of Ping, he lost nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Now, Jiaozhi is attacking the southwest, and Zhennan has not yet moved, but Li Lie asked Ying to go first, this move is indeed suspected of competing for the head of the southwest army!

Most of the generals of the Zhennan Army were promoted by Zhennanhou, and they have always listened to Zhennanhou's orders.

Jin Nian was also surprised, "Grandpa Guo went to the southwest, but it has something to do with the recent attack on the southwest?" "In the previous life, Li Lie was famous in the southwest five years later, in this life, is it going to be advanced?

I don't know if Li Lie and Yang Ru's family affairs have been booked? Find a chance to ask the second cousin another day.

She didn't know the current situation as well as Su Ziang, but Li Lie's actions were at least much better than those noble families who were eating vegetarian meals, which surprised and admired her.

Thinking of the unrest at the border, Su Ziang nodded silently.

The atmosphere was a little suffocating for a while.

Jin Nian smiled and changed the topic, "I don't understand these military affairs, but I heard that your academy has a very good Danqing Nian'an Jushi, I heard that his paintings can be sold at a high price, last month in the study, a picture of begonia flowers was priced at three hundred taels, does the eldest brother know this person?" ”

"Hey, that's the case!" Su Ziang was a little interested when she said this, "Where did the sixth sister hear it, I don't know if there is such a person, come and tell me about it." "If there is such a person, he can make friends, and the matter of raising troops in the southwest is not something that he can interfere with as a scholar, and it is useless for him to worry about it.

What a deal! She came to beg Su Ziang, but now she is entangled by Su Ziang!

Jin Nian was a little depressed, and said sullenly: "I also heard someone mention it by chance, where can I know a lot, and I thought that the eldest brother also happened to be in Guangling Academy, and I knew each other, but I didn't know that the eldest brother still wanted to ask me!" ”

was complained by her aggrieved little girl, Su Ziang calmed down, "Sixth sister doesn't know, I don't like to depict Danqing, and naturally I don't know anyone in this area, but I can ask Brother Yanyi, see him another day, I'll inquire carefully!" ”

is so dignified, why did the topic come to Gu Yanyi again? It seems that intentionally or unintentionally, she often hears people mention Gu Yanyi, Jin Nian frowned, and just wanted to end the topic as soon as possible, "If the eldest brother knows, you can talk to me." ”

Su Ziang replied.

In vain, Jin Nian was a little disappointed and depressed, originally thinking that the eldest brother was a resident of Nian An, who knew her, but now she got the opposite result, the flame of hope in her heart was like a sudden pour of cold water, and it was extinguished in an instant.

Du Juan has been paying attention to Jin Nian's expression, and as soon as Mo Yuxuan came out, he saw that she was still lonely, so he smiled and said, "Does Miss like Nian Jushi's paintings very much?" "The last time I was in the study, I saw her holding the painting of Nian An Jushi and couldn't put it down.

"I don't like it!" Jin Nian smiled bitterly and said with some melancholy, "I heard about such a person by chance, and I was just curious for a while." She didn't expect that it would be such a great deal to inquire about a certain person, so wouldn't it be even more difficult to find a murderer who didn't know where to hide?

"That's it!" Du Juan smiled, "Listen to the meaning of the eldest prince, Gu Gongzi should know Nian Anjushi, if the young lady wants to inquire about Nian Anjushi, it is better to ask Gu Gongzi for help." ”

Jin Nian frowned, glanced at the cuckoo lightly, and said in a deep voice: "In the future, I don't want to hear such words a second time!" "What kind of thing is it to ask others about foreign men? If you want the old lady to know, you have to punish her for stealing the female ring!

Besides, if she wants to ask Gu Yanyi, it is better to find another way, she doesn't want to owe Gu Yanyi a favor!

I don't know how the cuckoo is bad, I always feel that I don't have a song to use it!

The cuckoo on the side was glanced at by Jin Nian faintly, and with the words behind her, she was shocked, and then she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly raised her hand to promise, "Miss, I won't dare to do it again!" ”

"You don't have to promise me, you just remember it!" She felt that she owed the maids around her in her previous life, and after she was reborn, although she had a lot of constraints on them, she rarely scolded them, and if the cuckoo continued like this, she would have to consider replacing them

The master and servant returned to Jinhua Xiaozhu, Yingge came in and said with a smile: "Miss, Miss Lu has sent someone to deliver a letter." ”

Lu Jingxian said in the letter that she had a few new books, asked Jinnian when she would go to Lu's mansion, and complained that Mrs. Lu had recently started to detain her to be a female celebrity, but she couldn't embroider half a flower for half a day, which made Mrs. Lu so angry that she threatened to ban her feet.

There was a thick cheerfulness in that complaint, which made Jin Nian's somewhat depressed mood feel a lot better.
