Ah Lian's injuries have not healed, and she has been placed in the jade bead room for the time being.

Regarding the matter of finding a maid for Nie Junheng, Ling Xue did not discuss it with Nie Junheng in advance. With Ah Lian's consent, Ling Xue went to ask what Nie Junheng meant.

As soon as she stepped into Nie Junheng's courtyard, Ling Xue met Red Shadow.

Chi Ying said: "Is the county lord here to find General Nie?" ”

Ling Xue said: "I have something to discuss with him. ”

Chiying said: "General Nie/Jun has gone to the barracks and has not returned to the house yet." However, the prince of the world let you go over. ”

"What is my brother looking for me to do?"

Red Shadow said respectfully: "The subordinates don't know, but the county lord will know when he goes." ”

Ling Xue thought about it, she hadn't caused trouble recently, she was obedient and well-behaved, and she didn't know what was going on when Ling Xiao looked for her at this time.

Following Red Shadow to the door of the study, Ling Xue faintly heard the sound of the two talking in the study.

Ling Xue said: "There are guests in my brother's room? ”

Red Shadow nodded, and stepped forward and knocked on the door of the study.

Ye Lingxiao's voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Red Shadow pushed the door open, and Ling Xue walked in with confusion.

Walking into the study, Ye Lingxiao was sitting opposite a man, and when the man saw Ling Xue entering the room, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ling Xue, and then got up and bowed slightly at Ling Xue.

The man's face is handsome, his body is slender and straight, and he exudes a gentle temperament.

Ling Xue didn't know the man in front of her, she only felt a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

Ye Lingxiao said: "This is Master Su, Su Jingting, you should know him." ”

Ling Xue thought about it carefully, and finally remembered the person in front of her, and said, "I remember, we were classmates at the beginning, and we used to study in private school together. ”.

Su Jingting said with a smile: "I thought the county lord didn't remember to be in the lower ranks." ”

Ling Xue said: "Of course I remember, you are only eight years old, and you have been praised by your master every time you take the exam, and you are a rare talent." ”

Su Jingting said: "The county lord praised it. ”

Ye Lingxiao said in a timely manner: "Master Su is indeed a rare talent, in the imperial examination back then, Lord Su won the list, and now he is a pillar of the country." ”

Su Jingting said: "The prince has been promoted, and it is an honor for the lower officials to contribute to the imperial court. ”

Ye Lingxiao said: "Lord Su is too modest, even Lord Qi praises you. Do you know that Lord Qi rarely praises people. ”

There was always a faint smile on the corner of Su Jingting's mouth, and he said: "Xiaguan can have today, thanks to Lord Qi's support, compared with Lord Qi, Xiaguan is really far behind." ”

Ling Xue didn't say anything, just sat quietly and listened.

Su Jingting held an elegant and dignified person, and his gestures were full of bookish air.

When talking to people, he is neither humble nor arrogant, not impatient or impatient, and his eyebrows are full of calm and unhurried bearing.

Ling Xue didn't reject this person, but she didn't like it much.

She didn't know how this man had come to her brother, they hadn't had much to do with each other in the first place.

It wasn't until Ye Lingxiao suddenly asked that Ling Xue felt that something was wrong.

"I don't know if Master Su can get married now?"

Su Jingting first glanced at Ling Xue, then slowly shook his head and said, "No." ”

Ye Lingxiao glanced at Ling Xue meaningfully, and said, "Lord Su is now on the rise, he should have started a family a long time ago, why didn't he set up a family for a long time?" ”

Su Jingting just looked at Ling Xue and said, "It's just that the lower officials have a heart, and they can't tolerate other people in their eyes." ”

Seeing him staring at him, Ling Xue sighed in her heart, and quickly turned her head, looking at Ye Lingxiao with some confusion.

Ye Lingxiao ignored her gaze, and he turned his head to ask Su Jingting again: "Since Lord Su already has a favorite person, why don't you propose marriage as soon as possible?" ”

Su Jingting said: "At the beginning, my status was low, and I didn't dare to be delusional. ”

Now, he is on the rise, and he can finally stand side by side with her.

He thought he wouldn't have to hide his feelings anymore......

Thinking of this, he looked at Ling Xue deeply and said, "I wonder if the county lord has a favorite person now?" ”

Today's begging festival, there are many novelty gadgets sold on the street.

When Nie Junheng returned home, he saw that the hairpins placed in the street shop were good-looking, so he bought one for Ling Xue on the way.

Along the way, he kept fiddling with the delicate hairpin in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise.

He was happy in his heart, because when he was checking out, the vendor owner asked if he had bought it for his sweetheart, and he nodded and said yes.

The hairpin in the hand is exquisitely made, the hairpin body is carved with white jade, the shop owner said, this is the latest style this year, the girl's family loves it, and it is the most suitable to give it to the sweetheart.

He thought that Ling Xue would definitely like it too.

After all, no matter what he sent, his sister would happily accept it.

However, when he grew so big, it was the first time he gave her a hairpin.

I heard that giving a girl a hairpin is like a woman giving a man a purse, and the two mean the same.

Nie Junheng felt subtle feelings in his heart.

I don't know if she understands the meaning of the hairpin he gave her, and if she doesn't understand, how can he wake her up......

After getting out of the carriage, he couldn't wait to go to Ling Xue's yard to find her. However, she was not in the yard.

He asked Yuzhu, "Where has the county lord gone?" ”

Yuzhu said: "I've gone to the study." ”

Nie Junheng was about to turn around and go to the study to look for her, but Yuzhu stopped him.

"I'm afraid it's not suitable for General Nie/Jun to go and disturb."

Nie Junheng turned around, frowned between his eyebrows, and said, "Why?" ”

Yuzhu said: "There are guests here." ”

Nie Junheng said: "What kind of guest is inconvenient for this general/army to meet?" ”

Yuzhu saw that he didn't listen to persuasion, so he simply stopped hiding it, so he said, "Oh, it's Su Jingting, Master Su is here." ”

Nie Junheng frowned and said, "So what?" With that, he went straight to the study.

Yuzhu hurriedly chased after him and said, "Lord Su is here to propose marriage, I'm afraid it's not suitable for the general/army to go." ”

Nie Junheng paused, turned to look at Yuzhu, and his eyes were cold: "Propose?" ”

Yuzhu was stunned by his cold eyes, and he didn't dare to speak out loud, so he only said hesitantly: "Also...... It's not a proposition, everything still depends on the meaning of the county lord, if the county lord doesn't like it, it's useless for anyone to propose a parent. ”

At this time, two maids outside the courtyard walked slowly with pastries, and there was a lot of discussion in their mouths.

"Lord Su is gentle and elegant, and he seems to be very compatible with the county lord."

"Who says it's not, Lord Su is much better than those official sons in the past, and even the prince admires him a lot, I heard that he has to stay in the mansion for dinner."

"I see that the county lord is also very polite to Lord Su, I think I like it very much, this time the county lord's marriage must have a ......"..

The two maids walked farther and farther, and Nie Junheng's fingers holding the hosta tightened little by little......
