Du Jinning said and waved his hand: "Okay, you can step aside." If Zhang Songtao says that no one is following you, I will withdraw my punishment for you; If someone is following, the relationship between the two times indicates that you have to hand it over to Steward Yao before dark. ”

"Yes." Luo Daqing bowed, "The villain retreats." With that, he retreated and quickly ran to find Zhang Songtao.

They have their own division of labor. Zhang Songtao is meticulous and responsible, and is in charge of the movement on the road outside the gate. If someone followed Luo Daqing just now, Zhang Songtao's ability would definitely know, not to mention that because of the contradiction with the eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom, Du Jinning also specially guarded Wang Wei's hand and explained to him in advance.

Zhang Songtao coldly broke Luo Daqing's luck mentality: "When you entered the door just now, there was a black thin man staring at you three feet away from you. As soon as you entered the door, he came to the door and shook around, and after reading the name of the mansion written on our door, he left. ”

Luo Daqing suddenly wilted like a frosted eggplant.

"Be cautious and use your brains more in the future."

"Yes, got it."

Thinking about copying that dense network of relationships twice, Luo Daqing felt that he would never forget today's lesson for the rest of his life.

……

The eldest princess of Lu has not yet reached the age of marriage, she has not married, she has not opened a mansion outside, but lives in the palace with the queen mother.

A few years ago, the eldest prince seized the heir, and the queen mother was afraid that this daughter would be used by political enemies and fall into danger, so she was not allowed to leave the palace. Now that his brother is in power, after more than a month of purging, the political enemies have been almost cleaned up, and the queen mother relented and let the eldest princess of Lu go out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, he encountered danger, the guard was dragged by someone, and the guard who was driving was hit in the head by a small flying stone from a restaurant on the side of the road, and fainted to death in the car. If it weren't for the help of passers-by, the Queen Mother really couldn't imagine what would happen to her daughter.

"Don't go out in the future, stay in the palace honestly, and don't go anywhere." She said sternly.

Zhao Mingyue, the eldest princess of the Lu Kingdom, pouted: "You said you weren't allowed to go before, but now you don't let me go, I'm about to suffocate in the palace." ”

"Anyway, don't go out for a short time, wait until your imperial brother finds out who is behind this matter." The Queen Mother said with a straight face.

Zhao Mingyue let out an "oh", lowered her head and twisted the corners of her clothes, her face full of reluctance.

Empress Dowager Zheng also knew that her daughter had a lively personality, and being locked up in the palace was like asking for her life. There was no way before, but now that her brother is the emperor and her biological mother is the queen mother, if she is still detained like before, she will definitely be unhappy.

Maybe in order to get out of the palace, she will hastily choose a horse and marry herself.

Speaking of the attached horse, she remembered the handsome young man that the guards talked about just now, and couldn't help frowning, and asked Zhao Mingyue: "Yue'er, you tell your mother, what are you letting people follow that young man?" ”

Zhao Mingyue knew that the guards had reported everything that had happened just now. Her mother had always cared about her, and she expected that she would ask about this person.

She flattened her mouth and said, "That person is so rude, I wanted to thank him for a few words, and asked him if he was a scholar, but he didn't say it, to prevent me from being like a thief." I couldn't get angry, so I asked Wang Wei to follow him and deliberately scare him. The man was dusty and spoke with a foreign accent, and he should have just entered Beijing from other places and planned to participate in next year's Enko. I'm also teaching him to be a good person, the capital is not their poor countryside, it's not a big deal to lift people, don't talk so impulsively, be careful to offend people who shouldn't be offended. ”

Empress Dowager Zheng listened to her words, while carefully looking at her daughter's expression, she was sure that when she mentioned the handsome young man, Zhao Mingyue did not have the slightest shyness, but a look of not being angry and annoyed, and she was relieved.

Although the son has sat on the supreme position in the world, and the daughter no longer has to marry for the sake of interests, she can choose the attached horse she likes at will, but the Empress Dowager Zheng still doesn't want her daughter to marry a person who doesn't know the roots and climbs the dragon and the phoenix. Xungui's children have all grown up, they all know how their temperament is, their living habits and concepts are similar, and they have a big family's future and life involved, and they dare not treat Zhao Mingyue badly, this is the best son-in-law candidate that Empress Dowager Zheng is satisfied with.

"It's okay to scare people, but don't think about stumbling over people during the scientific expedition. Ten years of cold windows is not easy, people can be regarded as saving you, you don't want to take revenge. Although she knew her daughter's personality, Empress Dowager Zheng still knocked Zhao Mingyue.

"Got it, got it." Zhao Mingyue flattened her mouth again.

If she wanted revenge, she would tell her mother that the man would not save her. Hmph, such a cold-blooded person actually told the guards that she didn't need to save her, which really made her angry. If she was a little pampered, she didn't have to do it herself, she just revealed it to her mother, and the queen mother, who guaranteed to protect the calves, couldn't help but ask the imperial brother not to take him as a jinshi.

……

Du Jinning was sitting in the courtyard of Lu Xiaobei's house at this time, eating and chatting with Xu Chengyuan and Lu Xiaobei, discussing the purchase of a house.

"If you are tired of carriage and horses, you can rest for a few days, and it is not too late to go to see the house after a while." Lu Xiaobei said, "Anyway, our huge house, just me and your third sister and the two masters, are empty and empty, so it is better for you to stay here for a longer time, so as to make the family lively." It would be nice if I could live there all the time. Anyway, just you and your mother-in-law, there is no need to go outside to find another house. ”

Saying that, he said to Xu Chengyuan again: "The same is true for the eldest brother-in-law. You have also seen it, I have three courtyards here, and there are many empty courtyards, you and Aunt Xie can live here all the time, just so that Sister Ling and her eldest sister can be closer and closer. ”

Du Jinning ate the food, smiled and did not make a sound.

Although Lu Xiaobei is her own brother, and Du Fangling is her own sister, it is not impossible to live in the same house, but she is not without money, why should she live together? It is better for relatives to live separately to avoid conflicts.

But she won't say this now, otherwise Xu Chengyuan would definitely be embarrassed to accept Lu Xiaobei's kindness. Xu Chengyuan is different from her, if he can live in Lu Xiaobei's house, he will save some expenses.

Xu Chengyuan and Du Jinning have been together in Fucheng for two or three years, and they know his brother-in-law's temperament the most. Not to mention that he has money, but he has no money, and he has to go outside to rent a house to live in. Du Jinning pays special attention to free and private spaces. He would not like to live in a relative's house for a long time like this.

Du Jinning refused to live, and he naturally refused either. Among the few brothers-in-law, he himself is the least rich. He has no money, but he has backbone. He refused to live with relatives and cause trouble to others.
