Chapter 254: Someone from the Palace?
Because the problem of intestinal worm disease in Changting County was almost solved, the next day, Zhu Ruru and Meng Huaiyan finally returned home.
As soon as she returned home, Zhu Ruru noticed that something was wrong.
Outside their house, there was a luxurious carriage parked in the house, which looked like it had come from Kyoto.
Behind the carriage stood several dignified-looking men, dressed in the clothes of royal guards.
This is, someone from the capital?
How did you get to his house?
Zhu Ruru immediately had a bad premonition.
She frowned and glanced at Meng Huaiyan, "Ah Yan, who do you think this person will be?" ”
Meng Huaiyan swept the carriage and said, "It should be someone from the palace." ”
"I also feel like someone from the palace, but how could someone from the palace suddenly come to our house?"
"Just go in and see." Meng Huaiyan said.
Zhu Ruru didn't say anything, and the two stepped into the house.
Although it had been a month since they had been gone, nothing had changed in the house, just as it had been before they left.
Before the two of them reached the front hall, they met Feng Bo.
When Feng Bo saw Zhu Ruru and Meng Huaiyan, his eyes were happy, and he hurriedly greeted them.
"Young master, Ruru girl, you are back!"
"Uncle Feng, how are you doing at home?" Zhu Ruru also greeted Feng Bo, and then asked him about the current situation at home.
"Okay, everything is fine." Feng Bo said with a smile.
"Uncle Feng, just now we saw a carriage outside the gate, it seems to be from the capital, what kind of guests are there in our house?"
Zhu Ruru didn't say goodbye to Feng Bo again, and asked about the carriage outside his house.
Feng Bo was also about to tell them about this, and said, "It's Gonggong Xu from the palace who is here." ”
Feng Bo said that as soon as Gonggong Xu came, he named and said that he wanted to see Zhu Ruru, saying that there was a holy decree to read to her in person.
Feng Bo was planning to go out to the county government to find Zhu Ruru and them just now, but he didn't expect to meet them as soon as he went out.
"Divine decree? Want to read it in front of me? ”
Zhu Ruru's brows twisted again, they are now in Changting County, far away from Kyoto City, the palace suddenly sent a holy decree over, Zhu Ruru intuitively felt that this matter was not simple.
Don't really be anything bad!
Suddenly, Zhu Ruru felt a warmth in her hand, and her hand was grasped by a big one.
As soon as I raised my eyes, I met those familiar eyes.
"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'll face it with you." Meng Huaiyan said softly.
Hearing his words, Zhu Ruru's slightly uneasy heart immediately calmed down, "Okay." ”
Zhu Ruru went back to the courtyard to change her clothes, after all, she was receiving the holy decree, so she had to be more solemn.
After changing her clothes and coming out, Meng Huaiyan was already waiting for her outside the courtyard gate.
Zhu Ruru nodded at him, and the two walked to the front hall together.
Walking into the front hall, Zhu Ruru quickly met Father-in-law Xu.
Father-in-law Xu is the godson of Father-in-law Lin De, the chief eunuch of the Great Interior, Father-in-law Lin De is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and the holy favor is extremely prosperous, even the prince has to give a few thin noodles on weekdays.
Father-in-law Xu was deeply appreciated and reused by Father-in-law Linde, and his status naturally rose with the tide, and not many people dared to offend.
Gonggong Xu had also gone to Zhu's Mansion to announce his decree before, and Zhu Ruru recognized him as soon as he saw him.
"This is Miss Zhu, right? It's been a long time, but I wish the eldest girl more and more standard, and her temperament is more agile, and our family is almost unrecognizable! I didn't expect this Hai'an Town to be so able to raise people! ”
As soon as Gonggong Xu saw Zhu Ruru, his eyes looked at her presumptuously.
Meng Huaiyan on the side frowned, and a cold and sharp cold light shot straight towards him.
Gonggong Xu only felt an inexplicable coldness in his neck.
He subconsciously raised his eyes, his gaze fell on Meng Huaiyan, and he was slightly stunned.
Father-in-law Xu had seen Meng Huaiyan.
In the past, when he was in Kyoto, although Meng Huaiyan rarely went out, and not many people had seen him outside, he had been to the palace.
In addition, the emperor also attached great importance to Prime Minister Meng Cheng's nephew, and called him into the palace many times.
Gonggong Xu's impression of him is that this person is too cold and too silent!
Gonggong Xu remembered that before his exile, Meng Huaiyan was in a coma, and he thought that he would not be able to bear the pain of exile and die on the way!
Unexpectedly, not only did he not die, but now he is standing here unharmed.
"Master Meng, don't come unharmed!"
Meng Huaiyan swept him with cold eyes, took his gaze back, and ignored him.
Gonggong Xu touched his nose unnaturally, but a touch of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
Over the years, even those princes and princesses in the palace have rarely looked at him coldly, which onion is he Meng Huaiyan, and he dares to ignore him like this!
Does he think he is still the same nephew of the prime minister who was valued by the emperor?
Gonggong Xu snorted coldly in his heart, but he didn't say anything, retracted his gaze, and beckoned the little eunuch below to take the holy decree forward.
"Miss Zhu, please kneel down and receive the order!"
Zhu Ruru was a little resistant to kneeling to receive orders, but after all, this is a place where the imperial power is greater than the sky, and she can only compromise.
Seeing Zhu Ruru kneeling, Gonggong Xu smiled and spread out the holy decree and began to read it.
"Zhu Niangru, I heard that you are very smart and capable, not only can grow food, but also build city walls...... I have ordered you to go to the northwest immediately, help the northwest solve the food shortage, and build a city wall to defend against foreign enemies. ”
After listening to the holy decree, Zhu Ruru was stunned.
She didn't expect that the holy decree brought by Gonggong Xu would actually send her to the northwest to grow grain and repair the city wall......
What if she wants to explode?
Tang Qinglan, who was also standing on the side, only felt a "boom" in her head after listening to this holy decree, as if a thunder had exploded!
"Father-in-law Xu, this, is this true? The Holy One wants to send my family to the northwest? ”
Xu Gonggong said: "What is Mrs. Zhu saying, the holy decree is clearly written, will our family still make mistakes?" ”
His eyes fell on Zhu Ruru, and he said with a smile, "I wish the eldest girl to accept the order!" ”
"Our family didn't expect that the eldest girl would be so powerful, not only could she grow food, but she would also build a city wall!"
"We've seen that city wall, it's really breathtaking!"
After a slight pause, he continued: "This grace was requested by the prince for you, and when you reach the northwest, as long as you can solve the food shortage there and build the city wall, the emperor will definitely be rewarded in the future." ”
"Maybe as soon as I am happy, I will be exempted from Zhu Shangshu...... No, I wish the lord his sin, release him from prison, and allow your family to return to Beijing early! ”
Father-in-law Xu babbled a lot, and Zhu Ruru heard a key point from it.
She raised her eyes, "Father-in-law Xu, you just said that this grace was asked for by the prince for me?" ”
Gonggong Xu nodded, "Yes, this grace was indeed asked for by the prince for you." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince remembered that you had a marriage with him, and as soon as I heard that you had such outstanding ability, I immediately went to ask the Holy Lord for this grace, and I wish the eldest girl that you will not disappoint the prince's heart."
Looking at the smile on Father-in-law Xu's face, Zhu Ruru was expressionless.
Grace?
What kind of grace the hell was sent to the northwest to grow grain and build a city wall?
Shall I give you this grace?
