Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

Xu Zi'an was a little familiar when he heard this voice at first glance, and before he could react, he saw the sedan curtain opened, and the first thing that came out was a pair of slender hands, a little whiter than ordinary people, and when the sedan curtain was completely opened, a man's face was revealed, Xu Zi'an was stunned for a moment, and then frowned.

"Zhang Ping, what are you doing pretending to be a ghost!"

Xu Zi'an thought that he had offended some big person, but he didn't want the other party to be Zhang Ping, so his tone immediately became contemptuous.

Zhang Ping and he were both by Lu Zhiyuan's side at that time, but the two of them have been responsible for different things, and they usually don't have much intersection, so they can be regarded as nodding friends.

"It's me." The man smiled, and when he spoke, he didn't know if he was choking, and he covered his lips and coughed.

"You haven't moved for so long, how did your body get like this?" When Xu Zi'an saw him like this, it sounded good to say that he was sick, but it was like he was half dead at all.

"A little illness should be cured after a while."

Xu Zi'an looked at him again, and saw that he didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he didn't ask more, "By the way, why did you ask people to bring me over?" Does Zhiyuan know you're back? ”

The man smiled, "I don't know, I came here to find you this time." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ping was even more puzzled, "What's the matter with me?" ”

"There's a deal to do with you." The man was smiling, but there seemed to be a deeper flavor behind that smile.

Before Xu Zi'an could understand the meaning in his eyes, he was so frightened by his next words that he didn't know what to say.

Waiting for the other party's voice to fall, he was stunned for a while before speaking, "Are you crazy!" ”

"Haven't you always been unwilling to be under Lu Zhiyuan, this opportunity has come, as long as you cooperate with me, after the matter is completed, his position will be yours." The man's tone was light, and his calm tone did not reveal obvious emotion.

Xu Zi'an was silent, he was hesitating and doubting. Zhang Ping's words are right, he is indeed unwilling, in terms of ability, in terms of tactfulness, he is not worse than Lu Zhiyuan, the only difference is his background, he is a child of a poor family, and Lu Zhiyuan is the son of a rich family.

Therefore, Lu Zhiyuan can be the Taishou of Anyang at a young age, and when his term of office expires, he was transferred back to the capital to become the secretary of Dali Temple, and he, whether it was the earthquake at that time or the plague not long ago, he went back and forth, but the court did not know his contribution at all, because all the benefits were recorded in one person.

He couldn't say that he wasn't jealous of these things, and he even thought countless times that if something happened to Lu Zhiyuan, he would be able to replace him.

But these are some thoughts that he has hidden in the depths of his heart, and he has never told anyone, and now he has been revealed by someone, and he can't help but be surprised and angry.

"I don't know what you mean, Zhiyuan is my best friend, what am I unwilling to do."

The man on the other side coughed twice in a low voice, his face would be even paler, "I'm done with that, you can choose what to do for yourself." Whether to follow Lu Zhiyuan to be a dog of the Lu family for the rest of your life, or follow me to trample those who look down on you under your feet, it all depends on your own choice. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and went back to the sedan chair, the curtain fell, and soon the little servant who appeared from nowhere walked to the edge of the sedan chair, stretched out his hand and lifted the sedan chair steadily.

"I will stay in Lin'an Mansion for three days, and if you make a good decision in these three days, you can be safe soon."

Xu Zi'an still wanted to say something, but as soon as he took a step forward, there was a little guy in front of him, who was the difficult one he brought him before.

"Little peace, waiting for the good news of the son." The little guy's voice spoke in a steady voice.

Xu Zi'an frowned, "Who is Zhang Ping?" ”

"My master's surname is Xiao." Ping An said respectfully.

Xiao, Xu Zi'an shook his head, there are so many people with the surname Xiao, the most famous are those in the palace, Xiao is the national surname.

Zhang Ping, surnamed Xiao.

What does it matter.

Xu Zi'an shook his head, turned to look at Ping'an, "I've figured out how to contact you, is it possible that you have to follow me for the past three days?" ”

Hearing this, Ping An took out a bag from his sleeve and handed it to him, "There is a jade pendant here, if you make a decision, you only need to send the jade pendant to the Yuelai Inn in the city and hand it to the shopkeeper." ”

"What if I refuse?" Xu Zi'an hated the little guy in front of him with an attitude of seeing through how he would decide.

"If you refuse, then it's a gadget for you." Ping An bowed his head and said.

Xu Zi'an held the jade pendant in his hand, with thousands of thoughts in his heart, Zhang Ping's words kept echoing in his ears, if he could replace Lu Zhiyuan, it would naturally be something he couldn't ask for, but this thing was simple to think about, how difficult it was to really do, and how did he know if Zhang Ping was reliable.

His fingers rubbed the lines on the jade pendant, and then his eyebrows moved, and when he picked it up and looked carefully, he found that there was a small word engraved on it.

Shaw.

Xiao Zhangping?

Xu Zi'an silently read these three words, his face was calm at first, and then he was suddenly stunned, and then his eyes fluctuated suddenly.

Zhang Ping, Ping Zhang, Xiao Ping Zhang?

The name of the third prince is Xiao Pingzhang.

When he thought of this, he suddenly felt that he couldn't hide the vibration in his heart, and he couldn't even recover for a long time.

Although he didn't know the current situation in the court very clearly, he had heard a lot about the emperor's assassination in the palace a few months ago, and it was the third prince who sacrificed his life to protect the emperor, but he was seriously injured and has not woken up yet.

There are such rumors outside, but Xu Zi'an doesn't understand it, since people are awake, how can there be no news at all, and how can Xiao Pingzhang leave the capital and come to Lin'an Mansion at this time.

One question after another made him unable to figure it out, but no one asked, and this night, Xu Zi'an lay on the bed tossing and turning.

Also unable to sleep is Bai Susu, she is sighing at the moon, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival, she is really a little homesick, and I don't know what the father and mother of Xiaoqingshan Village are doing now.

She sighed when she thought about it, and it happened that Lu Zhiyuan walked into the house with steps, and heard this sigh, "What sigh?" ”

When Bai Susu saw him enter the house, his eyebrows condensed into a smile, reached out and threw himself into his arms, hugged his neck, and buried his face in his chest, "Second master, I miss my father and mother a little, brother and sister." ”

"I'll let them come over tomorrow, it's not a big deal, it's worth your sigh here." Lu Zhiyuan reached out and rubbed her hair, his tone with a smile.

Since he decided not to hold the lantern festival, the burden on his heart seems to have been lifted all of a sudden, although he doesn't have to think about it early tomorrow morning to know that someone from the imperial court will definitely come to blame him, but it's not impossible to deal with them, at most it takes a little lip service.

Bai Susu had a surprise on his face when he heard this, "Really? ”

"Is this worth fooling you?" Lu Zhiyuan took her hand, the moonlight was just right outside, and the two of them didn't feel sleepy, so they took a walk in the courtyard together.

Bai Susu estimated the time, from Lin'an Mansion to Xiaoqingshan Village, this time and again, it would take half a month at the earliest, which was calculated according to the fast horse. Naturally, you can't be in such a hurry to pick up your parents, and it's going to take at least a month.

What she didn't expect was that early the next morning, Chunlan hurriedly ran in, "Auntie, auntie, there is something big." ”

Bai Susu was already accustomed to her startled temperament, and when she heard the words, she calmly took a cup of tea and drank it again, learning from Lu Zhiyuan, and said slowly, "What's the matter, say it slowly." ”

Chunlan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Auntie, your mother has brought her two younger siblings here. ”

Burst!

Bai Susu squirted out directly in a sip of tea, almost choking himself, "Who did you say is coming?" ”

Chunlan naturally repeated it again.

Bai Susu raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't calm down, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and trotted to the door.

When she went out, Chen was leading her two children to the inner courtyard, and she saw her eldest daughter running towards her from afar.

"Look, it's big sister." Dabao said with a look of surprise.

"It's really a big sister!" Xiaobao chimed in.

Chen also smiled, her stupid girl, she still hasn't grown at all when she enters the capital, look at that stupidity, it's really a headache.

Bai Susu saw Chen, and the mother and daughter hugged each other as usual and their eyes were red, and the family held hands and went back to her yard.

Chunlan led Dabao and Xiaobao to play in the yard, and Bai Susu and Chen talked about themselves in the house.

"Is Dad's leg healed, why didn't you come with me this time?" Bai Susu asked, she hadn't seen Daddy Bai for a long time.

"The leg injury has been fine for a long time, don't worry. I really can't leave this time, the vegetable garden at home has to be taken care of, and this year I have raised a lot of chickens and ducks, and there is also a big fat pig in the pigsty, and your father can't leave. ”

Bai Susu listened to Chen's count, and couldn't help but think of the small courtyard at home, and only felt warm in his heart.

"That's good." Bai Susu smiled.

Chen sighed, "I came this time to have you come to take a look, and then I want you to help with something." ”

Bai Susu hurriedly said, "Mother, you talk like this, wouldn't it be a mistake for our mother and daughter to say that they would help, and you can just say anything." ”

The smile on Chen's face deepened a lot when she heard this, even if her daughter got married, she was still a treasure in her heart, knowing cold and hot, and not being angry at all.

"That's the case, Dabao is about to enter the school hall this year, originally there was an old Xiucai in our village, there was no problem, but the old Xiucai had a serious illness at the beginning of this year, and he just didn't have it last month."

"Ahh But that Sun Xiucai. Bai Susu was taken aback, that old Xiucai she remembered, she still sneaked to the school when she was a child, and she teased him a lot, and every time he was so angry that he almost took off his shoes and hit her. Hearing that he was gone, Bai Susu couldn't hide a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Chen nodded, "It's not him, he went to our ten miles and eight towns, and he didn't even have a decent school." Dabao is about to reach his age, your father and I are at home, if we send it to the school, we can only send it to Anyang City, but we are not familiar with it over there, where can Dabao go home every day for a child. It's inconvenient left and right, so it's better for you to go and talk to Lord Lu, and send him directly to the capital to study, and he won't be bullied if Lord Lu is there. ”
