"Sir, please lead the way."

"Wait a minute, girl, do you want tea? The last time the girl came, it was Gu who was not well entertained, and this time Gu invited the girl to drink a cup of tea. ”

An Ning raised an eyebrow and drank tea? How to drink?

I saw Gu Qingyuan return to the thatched house, and when he came out again, he was holding a bamboo basket in one hand, with a very old teapot and two teacups in it, and immediately a pu fan, and some firewood in the other, "Let's go, girl." ”

An Ning stepped forward to take the things in his hand, but he dodged them slightly sideways, and he said softly: "The person who came is a guest, how can you let the girl take something." ”

An Ning followed Gu Qingzhao for a while, and along the way, she looked at the scenery along the way, and sighed in her heart. There are even plum trees here, but they are not yet open, but they are waiting to be released.

Looking at such a scenery and breathing such air, the paradise mentioned in the book is nothing more than that.

Gu Qingzhao saw that An Ning had been staring at the plum tree, he stopped and explained: "There was no plum tree here, it was Gu somehow, not much, but in winter, it was very beautiful. He looked at the girl in a peach-colored dress in front of him, and then looked at the budding plum blossoms, this color is very good.

An Ning sighed, "I see. "People like him should like plum blossoms very much, lost and independent.

In the center surrounded by plum trees, there are indeed two stone piers, and in the middle there is a large stump that can be used to put things. An Ning looked at him in surprise, so it was, she smiled.

She also thinks that it should be like this, a fairy-like son, occasionally boils tea and drinks wine in a fairy-like place, and has no quarrel with the world, just like this Hanmei. Otherwise, it would be sad to live alone in a thatched house.

An Ning was about to sit down, Gu Qingzhao stopped her, An Ning didn't know why, she watched him put all the things in his hand on the stump, then took out the teapot and teacup, and finally took out the silk handkerchief on the bamboo basket and handed it to her, "Don't stain your clothes." ”

An Ning took the handkerchief in a daze, it was old but clean. She looked at the person in front of her who was picking up firewood, and An Ning couldn't help but sigh that he was so careful. In this case, she was not polite any more, and sat down on the stone pier.

At this time, Gu Qingzhao had already lit the fire, "The girl can bake a fire." ”

An Ning looked at the pile of firewood, which was closer to her, and he needed to stand up if he was making tea.

It turned out that he was afraid that she would be cold, "Thank you, Mr. Gu." ”

"The girl can talk about it, there is something Gu can help with." As he spoke, he set the teapot on the already burning firewood, and took a puff fan and blew it in the opposite direction of hers.

It was originally a little cold weather, but she felt all the warmth when she was sitting here at the moment, "Mr. Gu, do you know that the corruption case of Ruan Fang, the county commander of Fengxian County, has been reversed these days?" ”

Gu Qingzhao was fanning the jointed hand of the pu fan for a slight pause, and after a while, it was impermanent, "I heard a little." ”

An Ning lowered her eyes, her brows furrowed slightly, and after a while, she stood up and bent down slightly, "An Ning has a reluctant request for help." ”

Gu Qingzhao raised her hand with a pu fan, "Girl, let's talk about it." ”

At this time, Gu Qingzhao began to put the tea leaves in, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing, and with the breeze, it was refreshing.

An Ning didn't speak, she didn't want to disturb this moment, sighed slightly, she raised her head to look at Gu Qingzhao, her eyes were firm and clear, "Ruan Fang's matter, the Holy Lord has already ordered a thorough investigation by the Criminal Department, but Ye Shen, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, is not unexpected, I am afraid that he will not return the Ruan County Order to justice." Therefore, I want Mr. Gu's student, Nie Yuan, a waiter in the Criminal Department, to take over this matter. ”

At this moment, a hand holding a teacup appeared in front of her, looking at the green tea in front of her, and her nose couldn't help but smell the rich fragrance. An Ning's hand slowly took the teacup, and the fingertips of the two touched slightly, but no one panicked.

An Ning took the cup of warm tea in her hand, and sighed in her heart, such a warm person, whether his hands were so enthusiastic or so thin, even the tea had to wait until it was warm before handing it to her.

An Ning looked at him, if he went to Kyoto to get in touch with more girls, there would be countless girls who would like him.

"Girl, let's try tea first to warm up." He neither responded nor refused to the matter of Fang Cai.

An Ning has a sweet taste in the mouth, without the astringency of tea, silky and dry, and without the slightest bitterness.

"So Mr. likes this kind of tea." It's not like a man who drinks, but it's..." Did the gentleman prepare it for me? "She's thinking too much, how can it be?

An Ning frowned, "I'm sorry, I..."

Gu Qingzhao interrupted her to apologize, "It's for the girl." ”

What?

An Ning was surprised for a moment, and immediately reacted, "It turns out that Mr. knows that I will come." She smiled, and for a moment in this plum garden, the winter color could not suppress her color.

Also, Gu Qingzhao is such a smart person, how could he not guess. I'm afraid that everything outside has already guessed that she did it. Because she came to see her after she was reborn, how could he think that she was the kind of person who wanted to die for love, and even became critically ill, I am afraid that from beginning to end, no one in front of him believed it.

"Ruan Fang's case is indeed suspicious. Daye can only have damned officials, not clean officials who died in vain. In his job, Nie Shilang is a fair and strict person. In a word, the position is clear.

Only An Ning knew how much shock this sentence had brought her. There can only be damned officials, not vain deaths...

"Mr. Gu, please." If the previous salute was for help, then this salute is a respect from the heart.

···

Sitting in the carriage and walking back, An Ning thought about Gu Qingzhao in her heart, just like she thought before, why did she just let go of the rich and noble days of the marquis and worship the prime minister, but went to Dali Academy to be a teacher.

Maybe it's because the strength of one person is weak, but the strength of many people is thick. One person's power cannot control the corrupt officials and injustices in various places, but if all the officials in all places are honest and upright, then there will be no such thing as Ruan Fang. If this is also the case above the court, then the world will be harmonious, and Daye's eternal prosperity will not be far away.

Today, she thoroughly understood Gu Qingzhao's intention to do this, and also understood his persistence and what he had been doing.

An Ning walked through the back door and returned to the General's Mansion without being seen by anyone.

"Miss, you're back." Moonlight heard a knock outside and opened the door, and after An Ning entered, Moonlight made sure that no one outside closed the door again.

An Ning returned to the house and took off her coat, sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "Moonlight, how is the situation in the General's Mansion today?" ”
