Seeing off the persistent and stubborn Mo Zuo, Zhuang Rou took Jiuxinghong over, looked at it and pulled it out. Something fell out with the blade and landed on the table.

"What's that?" Zhuang Rou looked down and found that it was a folded white paper with some ink on it. She opened it puzzled and found that there were four words written domineeringly on the paper: words are true.

The words are very beautiful, but unfortunately it seems to have paused for too long, hesitating not knowing what to write, and some ink dripped up. I didn't change the paper, so I wrote it down.

Zhuang Rou felt that this Mo Zuo was really hopeless, so she threw the letter on the table, washed up and fell asleep.

The next day was the day Mo Zuo left, and when she got up early in the morning, she heard that her brother had not returned overnight, and she guessed in her heart that he had sent Mo Zuo away. And she also had breakfast, so she went to the hospital to change the medicine first, and then turned around and went to the teaching department.

She is still learning jiu-jitsu from Qiaogu of the Teaching Workshop Division, and she doesn't have time to come every day in normal times, but now she is injured. Although you can't do too complicated movements, you can learn them and then go back and practice them slowly.

Today, Zhuang Rou found that there was suddenly something different in the sect's workshop, and there were many strange people.

The reason why it's strange is that they don't fit in with the Sect Division, and there are many craftsmen who look like ordinary craftsmen, and they are all treated very politely by the people of the Workshop Division.

Zhuang Rou looked at Aunt Qiao, who was bending down to show her, and asked, "Aunt Qiao, why are there so many people here, do you want to overhaul or rebuild?" ”

Qiaogu put the top of her foot under her chin, and when she asked, she said: "Father-in-law Qian, they didn't find out about selling sinners, but also involved the father-in-law in the palace, and I heard that I had been arguing in the court for several days. ”

Later, someone said that it was better to sell it than to be a prostitute here, so the emperor was furious, and listened to the suggestion of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to add Mr. Craftsman to the Teaching Workshop Division. The family members of the criminal officials can learn the art of craftsmanship, and they do not have to be prostitutes. ”

Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows and said approvingly: "This is very good, the cooking tailors can be learned, and if they do it directly, they can also save a lot of silver for the palace." Presumably, the household department will also support it, which is also an income. ”

Qiaogu said: "But it seems to say that this silver is going to go into the inner treasury, so the noise is more serious, I don't know how to talk about it, anyway, there are many people who will go to work in the future." ”

"Actually, you can choose it, if you want to continue to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting if you don't have to be bitter, if you want to keep your work innocent, you can do it. After a long time, maybe in addition to having to work for the royal family, it will be almost the same as a free body. Zhuang Rou said casually, she didn't know what those young masters and young masters who were born with fine clothes and fine food thought, anyway, what she chose was her own path, and it was impossible for others to help her.

Speaking of this, Aunt Qiao was more concerned about her, "How long will your injury be healed, last time you said you were suspended, why don't you go again, and learn jiu-jitsu with me." ”

Zhuang Rou asked puzzledly, "What will you do after you learn?" ”

"......" Qiao Gu was speechless for a while, and only said after a while, "Inheritance." ”

"It's okay to be an artist, it's okay to say it directly, but I don't want to go, I don't want to practice this." Zhuang Rou said bluntly, and refused to say the slightest good thing in her mouth.

Qiao Gu asked blankly, "Didn't you learn it because you loved Jiu-Jitsu?" ”

"No, I think learning it can make me stronger, so I can kill people." Zhuang Rou stretched out her hand and moved her finger to show her, grinning.

"Kill!" Qiaogu started practicing jiu-jitsu at the age of three, and she didn't know how to kill people at all, and she couldn't imagine it at all.

Zhuang Rou looked at her confused appearance and smiled, "What do you have to think about here, it's much better to be able to put jiu-jitsu in other places than to be able to perform alone." Maybe I'll be able to get the most out of it, instead of just showing it to others. ”

Qiaogu looked at her stunned, feeling that there seemed to be some truth, but there was something strange about it.

"Okay, while I'm still resting, teach me all of them quickly, otherwise if I return to work in the future, I won't be free to come every day." Zhuang Rou didn't let her think about it much, and pushed her and smiled.

"Okay." Qiao Gu doesn't think about it anymore, it's good for someone to study seriously, why are you worried about so many things.

Zhuang Rou has been suspended for more than two months, her shoulders have been bandaged and she can move flexibly, as long as she doesn't do drastic things to keep going, three or five months are guaranteed to be the same as before.

But the little county king didn't ask her to go back, and the people were left aside, and everyone forgot that she was still a catch. Aunt Liu is very happy that Miss finally doesn't have to stay home all day and night, and can stay at home and not run around.

Zhuang Rou was very unhappy, she felt that the little county king owed her a reason, it was impossible to suspend her for so long. Could it be that he said something to his brother, so after he came out of the Teaching Division, he didn't let himself be arrested?

Thinking of this, she ran to Zhuang Xuewen's study after dinner, and casually pulled out a book and waited for him to come back, this matter has to be asked clearly.

She was sleepy as soon as she read the book, and after a few pages she fell asleep on the table, and the candles on the candlesticks were extinguished, and she did not wake up.

I don't know when, Zhuang Rou felt a little warm on her body, as if something was covering her body. She rubbed her eyes and stood up, and found that she was covered with a piece of clothing, and the room was pitch black, but there was some sound outside the window. He tilted his head to look out the window and saw Zhuang Xuewen sitting at the stone table outside, drinking wine by the moonlight.

"Brother, why don't you call me when you come back, what kind of wine are you drinking outside?" Zhuang Rou wrapped the dress and walked out, looking at his little leisurely appearance and said.

Zhuang Xuewen smiled slightly, "Look at how well you sleep, so I didn't wake you up." ”

"Brother, I'm not here to sleep in your study, I'm looking for you for something." Zhuang Rou wiped her face a few times to sober herself up, sat down at the table and asked, "Brother, can I still be arrested?" ”

"In a hurry?" Zhuang Xuewen knew that she wanted to ask this, and she couldn't stand it after staying up for two months.

Zhuang Rou nodded, "There is always a saying, now it is only suspended, and it cannot be suspended for a lifetime." If the little king won't let me go, then I'll go to him. ”

Zhuang Xuewen said with a smile: "The little county king was transferred, and he didn't make a county order in Douhu County." ”

"What!" Zhuang Rou stood up immediately, and her immediate boss was transferred, but she didn't know it at all. But it's nothing to think about, and it's the same when someone else comes to be a county magistrate, so I sat down again.

"Just transfer away, just transfer away, I just have no problem, maybe he will be promoted."

After a pause, Zhuang Xuewen said, "Xiaorou, do you want to go out and have a look?" ”

"Where are you going?" Zhuang Rou frowned slightly, "Is my brother going with me?" ”

Zhuang Xuewen took a sip of wine and chuckled: "No, you go by yourself." ”

"Then I'm not going." Zhuang Rou refused, this must not be a good thing, if you want to get yourself away and leave him alone in the capital, then something is going to happen.

"The little king was transferred to Hongzhou, which is two days away from the capital by water, and he wants to take you away, but I stopped him when he sent someone to the house a few days ago. But I thought about it again and again, and decided to let you go, Hongzhou is not far from here, and I can also go to see you when I miss you. Zhuang Xuewen said.

Hongzhou?

Zhuang Rou's brows did not loosen, but they wrinkled even tighter, that place was the poorest of the states near the capital. Obviously, there are all kinds of waterways, but because the folk customs are too poor, compared to other states, they always look like they are half poor, how can the little county king be transferred to that kind of place?

Knowing what she was thinking, Zhuang Xuewen explained: "The previous cases have all been closed, the little prince has offended too many powerful people, and the eldest princess and the queen mother have intervened, so he invited himself to go to that place and said that he would endure some hardships to practice his mind." ”

"The assassination of the king of the county by the former guard, the uncle's indulgence and negligence made his son do evil in Douhu County was also decided, and now the uncle was ordered to stop the post of secretary of the military department, go home to reflect for three months, and the soldiers involved in this were also punished one by one. There are more officials who have stepped down in the case of the Jiaofang Division, and now that the eunuch of the palm seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is in the position, countless forces are bound to win, and it will be a little noisy in the future. ”

Zhuang Rou looked at him and said, "So in order to protect the little county king, you threw him to a poor place like Hongzhou?" It used to be the kind of rich place in Douhu County, and in less than a month, it made the chickens and dogs jump. Now if it is thrown into a poor place, no matter how much it is tossed, it will be some small people, and the powerful can rest assured. ”

Zhuang Xuewen smiled, he didn't want to point out one thing, these things were all caused by her, and the most that the little county king did was to assassinate Uncle Yin.

"If there are only two days by water, then I'll go, and I can come back at any time anyway." Zhuang Rou agreed, anyway, it was not far away, and it was annoying to watch these powerful intrigues all day long.

After she agreed, Zhuang Xuewen took out the letter sent by the king of Xiaojun, saying that the letter was actually Zhang Xuanling.

Zhuang Rou also thought that the little county king would go to be a prefect to play, but he didn't expect it to be just a poor state mansion, and Zhuang Xuewen explained that the state is also divided into sizes, and Hongzhou is too small to be called a mansion.

"Okay, Zhizhou is okay too. Brother, should I rent a house or live in the county office? ”

"Living in the county government, why don't you use four guards with strong martial arts, so that I can rest assured." Zhuang Xuewen preached unceremoniously, he didn't feel at ease to let Zhuang Rou be alone outside, it would be easy to have Chu Xia's four followers. As long as there is any mistake, settle accounts with him.

Zhuang Rou is right to think about it, you don't have to get up early when you live close, you can go to work while eating while carrying a bowl.

She threw the letter on the table, stretched her waist and said, "My brother is really, if you had given me the letter a few days earlier, you would have known that you could go out of the city." Then I can still drink Ding Lian'er's wedding wine, now it's okay, the wedding was yesterday, I just missed it. ”

"Ding Lian'er? It's the woman you saved last time. The daughter of Ding Ran, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy. Last night, she married the Ye family, a big family in Qingliu, but her husband died suddenly last night, and she had already hanged herself. Zhuang Xuewen remembered this, it was not an auspicious thing.

Zhuang Rou looked at him blankly, "What?" ”

"I just died last night, and there are ministers of the Qing school in the middle of the court who proposed to write to the emperor tomorrow, and to ask for the ninth chastity arch of the Ye family for the Ye family's virgin Ding family."

Zhuang Xuewen's voice was calm and cold, which made Zhuang Rou couldn't help but shudder.
