Yuan Xiang lowered his voice: "These are the letters written by the Grand Governor......

Dai Congzheng asked, "Is it a report to the imperial court?"

Yuan Xiang shook his head: "Where can the newspaper to the imperial court be written by the governor himself, and the master of the palace has already planned to send it out."

"Then ......," Dai Cong's expression became more and more solemn, "what is it that makes it so difficult for the Grand Duke?"

Yuan Xiang leaned closer to Dai Cong and whispered, "Our Governor is replying to the girl he likes......

The girl that the Metropolitan Governor likes?!

The Metropolitan Governor actually has a favorite girl?!

This unexpected answer surprised Dai Cong, but he immediately felt that it was reasonable.

Looking at the clumps of discarded letterheads, it is very understandable...... After all, he was also young.

No one can refuse this kind of gossip, especially the owner of this gossip is still the lord of Shangfeng, who has never been close to women, Dai Cong glanced at the direction of the study, and was not in a hurry to ask for guilt, but pulled Yuan Xiang away again.

Yuan Xiang half-pushed, and went to the end of the corridor with Dai Changshi.

"Isn't it ...... It's the rumored Chang Niang, right?" Dai asked in a low voice.

"Dai Changshi also heard about it in Bingzhou?"

Dai Cong was surprised: "Those rumors are true?"

"Isn't it......" Referring to this, Yuan Xiang was both emotional and a little sad: "I think most of us are twenty-two years old, and it was not easy to open the screen......

Dai Cong: ...... What's on?

"I mean, I have opened the rope...... Yuan Xiang continued sadly, "Dai Changshi is not in the capital, because he didn't see the worthless appearance of our Metropolitan Governor when he asked to marry Chang Niangzi in public."

It's really like a cabbage that no one wants for nothing.

Dai Cong looked at the waste letter he was holding in his arms and said with emotion: "Although I haven't seen it, it's not hard to imagine it now......

"However, Chang Niangzi does have many outstanding features, and it is understandable that most of the governors have such symptoms." Although Yuanxiang was sad, he also gave an objective evaluation.

Dai Changshi couldn't help asking, "What about this Chang Niang...... Is it true that you don't want to see the Governor like this?"

Supposedly, it shouldn't be, his face rests here, and when most of the governors don't grow beards, he often looks at that face a little confused.

Seeing Dai Changshi's doubts, Yuan Xiang sighed and said: "It doesn't work with your face, Chang Niangzi is the first beauty in Beijing, and when she looks in the mirror every day, she can't appreciate her face when she thinks about it."

Dai Cong is clear, although he can't get into the world of good-looking people, but I think it's aesthetic fatigue.

"But I can't talk about it until I see it." Yuan Xiang recalled the cruel scene at the hibiscus flower banquet that day: "Chang Niangzi said that she only regarded the Metropolitan Governor as a family member and a close friend."

At the beginning, the Metropolitan Governor was lost in that "family", and took out a bronze talisman on the spot.

"Don't be afraid, since it's still waiting to be seen, then there is a chance." Dai Cong asked, "What did most of the governors do besides the marriage request?" Have you ever done what you liked, or heroically saved beauty?"

Yuan Xiang: "It's not certain what he likes, but there have been many times when heroes save beauty."

Dai Cong showed a look of anticipation.

Yuan Xiang was very frustrated: "But every time it can't help much, Chang Niangzi Wen can paint and become famous as a Jingshi, and Zhike can convict the saint's nephew and nephew, and he can do it well, not to mention riding and shooting, even the war horse of His Royal Highness the First Prince can be controlled."

After a moment of silence, Dai Cong suddenly looked in the direction of the study, revealing a sudden smile.

Then he understood......

He had also wondered what kind of girl the Metropolitan Governor liked before, but now he finally understood...... It turns out that what the Metropolitan Governor likes in his bones is the kind of girl who has the best ability and can't use him at all!

Yuan Xiang looked at Dai Changshi, who was laughing.

Facing Shang Yuanxiang's resentful eyes, Dai Changshi smiled and asked, "How should the Metropolitan Governor deal with these waste letters?"

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

pp】

"The Governor ordered me to take it and burn it." Yuan Xiang hurriedly hugged him tightly, and said vigilantly: "Chang Shi Mo should be curious, the Metropolitan Governor said that you are not allowed to peek."

"Of course, you and I can't see it." Dai Changshi smiled and said, "But I have a proposal......

Yuan Xiang subconsciously leaned closer to listen.

And Cui Jing in the study, in the end, still failed to write a satisfactory reply that day.

He attributed this to the fact that he had been too tired and in good spirits recently, and in order to prevent him from saying the wrong thing in the letter, he deliberately rested for the night, then bathed and changed his clothes, and then wrote the letter again.

When he wrote the letter, he instructed Yuan Xiang to do another thing, and although Yuan Xiang was confused, he still complied.

An hour later, Yuan Xiang returned: "The Grand Duke, it has been cleaned according to your instructions."

"Hmm." After writing two more letters, Cui Jing, who finally put the last letter in the envelope, said, "Go get scissors and needle and thread, I want to use it."

Yuanxiang: "......?"

That night, Cui Jing sat under the lamp all night.

……

The news that the rebellion in Bingzhou had been pacified reached back to Beijing, and the people of the government and the opposition were a little calmer.

Yangzhou and Runzhou both fell into the hands of the Xu rebels, and the war in the south has been a headache.

In her opinion, it is still difficult to distinguish the truth of those confessions, and Xiao Chuan needs to be strictly interrogated.

The Qin Cha who went to escort Xiao Chuan was also ordered to praise Cui Jing.

And the Cui family in Jingshi Anyi Fang also had a reward delivered.

The one who came to give the reward this time was Yu Zeng, he was the head of the Si Gongtai, and he would not easily come in person for such a decree, which showed how much the Holy Emperor attached importance to Cui Jing and the merger of states.

The people saw it in their eyes, and their hearts discerned.

In the eyes of most Cui clansmen, especially Cui Xun, this is the embodiment of nailing the words "empress minions" to Cui Jing.

Cui Xun, who was restless recently, simply locked himself in the study and did not come forward.

But the Lu family happily received the reward, left a metaphor to increase the amount of tea, and made people stuff red seals for the attendants.

Cui Xun is not at a loss, if he sees her move, he will be so angry that black smoke will rise above his head.

After sending Yu Zeng and his party away, Cui Lang took the reward list and sighed: "If I have a son like this, if I am a father, I will kowtow a hundred times a day in front of the Buddha......

"What nonsense?" Lu Shi glanced at his son with disgust, and lowered his voice and said, "On such a happy day, what is it to mention such bad luck."

Cui Lang sighed: "I just think that my father is old, old and young, why can't he think about it like this."

"It's because there are old and ......young," Lu sighed, "There are old and young people in others, and they need to be fed." But your father is different from the others, the old one is capable, and the younger one is too competitive, so where do you need him to support him for a day?"

Cui Lang nodded: "Yes, there are old and young, and my father has always been the one who was raised...... I didn't suffer at all, and I didn't have any strength at all."

In this way, the father can be said to have redefined the old and the young, which is a very rare existence even in the entire history of human breeding.

To have such a rare blessing in the world, my father is afraid that in his last life, he began to accumulate virtue and do good deeds when Pangu opened the world, so he saved this opportunity to be reincarnated as Cui Xun, right?

Thinking like this, Cui Lang was a little jealous.

Cui Tang said on the side: "Father is alone in the study at this time, can you go over and ask?"

"Whatever he does, your father likes to be quiet, so let him be quiet." Lu took the reward list and summoned the steward to him.

"Quickly send all those gold and silver things to the Xuance Mansion and put them into the private treasury of Da Lang, so that these things will not be left in the mansion and stain the eyes of Lord Lang again......

The steward smiled and nodded stiffly, Madame is now also proficient in the way of yin and yang.

The Lu family picked some Cui Jing or those that could be used, and they were all sent to the Xuance Mansion.

Over the years, all the rewards given to Cui Jing by the imperial court, she has arranged them like this.

In her opinion, these are the rewards of Da Lang for fighting with his life, and the credit for a battle is the boss's, but the families of those dead and wounded soldiers also need to be appeased, and in addition to the pensions sent by the imperial court, Da Lang often gives alms, which is also quite expensive.

Da Lang has never taken money from the clan, but has earned a lot of rewards for the clan, Da Lang has never subdivided these, as the mother of the family, in addition to thinking about the clan, she has to plan more for Da Lang.

After all, Da Lang hasn't married a wife yet!

The daughter-in-law has to let him keep enough.

After arranging the place where the reward went, Lu happily took a pair of children to the study and wrote a letter to Cui Jing.

This is what Lu has always wanted to do, in the past, she had no reason to write to Da Lang, but now it is different, Da Lang has called her mother in public!

As a mother, it must be reasonable to write a letter to her son who has just experienced a dangerous calculation and made great achievements outside, right?

Lu asked Cui Lang to write, and she dictated on the side.

Cui Tang is the same.

Cui Lang was happy at the beginning, and gradually fell into a painful complaint: "...... How can anyone write such a letter?"

That's a full six pieces of letterhead!

His hand was about to be broken, and his mother and sister hadn't finished yet!

Do they know the difference between writing a letter and writing a notebook?

"Where is this?" Cui Tang frowned and looked at the second brother.

is also an elder brother, why is the gap so big?

Some elder brothers are making meritorious contributions outside the country to save the overall situation, and some elder brothers have to scream when they write a letter.

really responded to the conversation between her and her mother last night-

She and her mother sighed that every time they think of their eldest brother, they feel that the threshold for being a human being is too high, and she is too mediocre when she is also born as a human being.

Mother comforted her - it's okay, isn't there your second brother, he has pulled the threshold of being a man to the lowest, with him, what are you panicking about?

Listening to the second brother's complaints, Cui Tang snatched the pen in disgust and wrote it himself.

The Lu family wrote here until dark, and no one cared about Cui Xun.

Waiting for someone to explain, Cui Xun, who had not eaten all day, became more and more depressed, and at such times, his wife would always come to persuade him, at least he would personally bring a bowl of tonic soup...... Now you don't even take him seriously?

After asking carefully, I realized that the Lu family was busy writing a letter to his eldest son.

Cui Xun: "?!"

With their hearts, they all turned to the rebel!

On this night, no one knew or cared about Cui Xun's mood, but Cui Lang, who learned that his eldest brother was safe and sound, slept soundly.

After swaggering into the Guozi Prison early the next morning, he was surrounded by his classmates to inquire about the deeds of his eldest brother in Bingzhou, which was very popular.

After class, Cui Lang followed Qiao Yubai back, his mouth still chattering.

These days, with his master-apprentice relationship with Chang Suining, as well as his own cheekiness, coupled with the fearless spirit of "I don't know if I don't know about sacrificial wine, students love to eat fish the most", Cui Lang was able to come to Qiao Saijiu to eat every day after class.

When he came to the front yard, Cui Lang saw Qiao Yumian.

The girl wore an autumn-colored cloak, her hair was neatly combed, and she wore a pair of clean and simple green hostas, and covered her eyes with a piece of moon-white silk and tied it behind her head.

"Little lady Joe!" Cui Lang smiled and walked over quickly, looked at the things tied to her eyes, and asked why.

"It's Dr. Sun's confession." Qiao Yumian said, "In the past two days, I occasionally felt a strong light flashing in front of my eyes, so Dr. Sun blindfolded me."

"Bright light?" Cui Lang was pleasantly surprised: "Little lady Qiao, can you see the light?"

Qiao Yumian: "I can't see anything yet, but Dr. Sun said...... It should be a sign of improvement."

She didn't have hope at first, but the occasional flickering bright light was something she had never seen before, and perhaps the doctor Ning Ning found for her really had extraordinary skills.

"That's great!" Cui Lang was overjoyed, "Maybe it won't be long before Little Lady Qiao will be able to see the light again!"

Qiao Yubai looked over - how could he think that Cui Liulang's excitement was no less than that of him as a brother?

Qiao Yumian didn't answer, only showed a smile of expectation.

To be honest, she has always been curious about what Cui Liulang, who is standing in front of her at this time, what is he like?

She had an imaginary image in her head, but she didn't know if it was realistic.

She wanted to...... The day when I can confirm it with my own eyes.

Cui Lang and the others walked forward while talking, but when they came to the dining hall, they heard that Xi Zhiyuan was coming.

To Cui Lang and Qiao Yubai's surprise, Xi Zhiyuan actually came to resign.

Cui Lang: "Are you going back to Dongluo?"

"Yes, I'm going to leave in two days." Xi Zhiyuan explained: "There are some urgent matters at home."

"Then when you're done, won't you come back?"

"I shouldn't be able to come back in a few days." Xi Zhiyuan looked at his classmates and friends with a smile, as if he promised: "But I think I will definitely see you again in the future."

He should have left when he received the "family letter" from Dongluo ten days ago.

He wanted to wait for the girl to come back and say goodbye to her in person before leaving, but there was still no news of her return to Beijing today, and his business could not be delayed any longer.

Cui Lang was very reluctant: "You are also leaving, and Master doesn't know when he will be able to come back...... We have no two clubs, and I'm afraid we won't have enough people to play polo in the future."

Qiao Yubai also sighed lightly in his heart.

He has now roughly sensed that Ning Ning's trip is not likely to come back in a short period of time.

Those days of playing polo together by the river may be hard to come back to.

Many years later, when Qiao Yubai looks back, he will realize more clearly that this period of time is like a distinct river of demarcation, on one side of the river is the wanton and relaxed youth time, and on the other side, the teenagers will go to a completely different life.

But as Xi Zhiyuan said at this time - there will definitely be another day in the future.

……

Half a month ago, Li Lu had left Beijing and returned to Yizhou to visit his sick mother and prepare for the big wedding with Ma Wan, the prime minister.

Soon after Li Lu left, it was also the day when Mingluo set off to make peace, and the team went all the way out of Beijing, and Mingluo, who was sitting in the car, lifted the curtain and looked at the towering gate of Jingshi reluctantly.

……

On the same day that the news of the pacification of the Bingzhou Rebellion reached Xuanzhou, Chang Suining received a letter from the Bingzhou Kuaima.

But it's not just letters.

She opened the heavy little box that had been brought with her.
