The change in the palace of Chu was very sudden.

The news of Empress Xiao's deposition spread all over the Six Palaces, and naturally it also spread to the mansions of wealthy families in Jinling, and some people were happy and some were worried.

Joy is naturally Lan Guifei's family.

After Empress Xiao was deposed by Emperor Chu and sent to the cold palace, then if there is no accident next, she will be the new queen of Chu.

And Shaw Gate Valve seems to have anticipated such a day for a long time.

As soon as the news of Xiao Qiang's abolition came out, they acted quickly, immediately closed the gate of the Xiao Mansion, gathered the Xiao clansmen, strictly forbade anyone to enter and exit, and no longer communicated with the outside world.

……

As soon as the rain stopped, after three or four days of exposure, the temperature in the capital rose sharply, scorching the loess.

In the study, Chen Chao was checking the secret letter handed over by the red sleeves, talking about the abolition of Empress Xiao.

The window was open, and in the backyard of the lively Prime Minister's Mansion, from time to time there was the laughter of the girl who liked to wear a red dress like a silver bell.

After thinking about it, Chen Chao didn't plan to tell Lingke the news so quickly, he handed the secret letter to Yue'e beside him, "Burn this, by the way, tell Hongdou, it is an eventful time at this time, send more spies to keep an eye on Jinling's movements, and if there is any change, come and report it immediately." ”

"Okay." Yue'e reached out and took the secret letter and threw it into the brazier, which quickly burned out.

"Xiangye, Master Fang is here." Hou Ji walked outside the study, knocked on the door, and opened his mouth.

"Lord Fang? Which Fang-sama? ”

Chen Chao didn't turn a corner for a while, and asked.

"Wenchang Pavilion, Scholar Fang, Fang Xiu!"

Hearing this, Chen Chao couldn't help frowning, and subconsciously stood up and walked to the window.

Looking up, in the mansion, Fang Xiu was holding the hand of an eight or nine-year-old girl and was walking this way.

"Why is he here?" Chen Chao muttered to himself.

Yue'e looked out along Chen Chao's gaze and said, "Yes, why is he here?" For so many years, Scholar Fang has never taken the initiative to come to the door, and this is the first time that Scholar Fang has taken the initiative to come to the door. ”

Chen Chao stretched out his hand and scratched his forehead, he was becoming more and more incomprehensible about the old man's behavior, but since the people came, Chen Chao couldn't help but go out to greet him, so he took Yue'e downstairs to greet him.

While speaking, Fang Xiu took the little girl's hand, and under the leadership of the next person, it was almost there.

Turn a corner and step onto the promenade.

Fang Xiu finally saw Chen Chao who came out to greet him.

The two met and had a pleasant greeting.

"As soon as Lord Fang came, the Mansion was full of splendor." Chen Chao gave up.

"You're welcome."

"Lord Fang, please, let's go to the study to talk, a batch of good tea has just arrived, I will personally cook it for Lord Fang to taste."

As the two were talking, they forgot about the little girl who came with Fang Xiu.

The little girl looked like she was eight or nine years old, wearing a light green dress, although she was young but not afraid of life, and looked at Chen Chao curiously.

"Who is this?" Chen Chao asked.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Fang Xiu introduced: "This is the granddaughter of the old man, Fang Ruoxue. ”

"Ruoxue, I've seen my uncle." The little girl bowed slightly, and her movements were decent.

Seeing this, Chen Chao couldn't help but secretly say in his heart...... At a young age, she already has the demeanor of everyone's ladies, unlike the one in her own house, she likes to mess around every day, she is a little girl, why is the difference so big.

"Uncle, can Ruoxue find Sugar Treasure to play?" Fang Ruoxue blinked her bright eyes and took the initiative to ask.

"Of course you can, Sugar Baby is in the backyard, go ahead." Chen Chao asked Yue'e to lead Fang Ruoxue to the backyard, and he led Fang Xiu into the study.

As soon as the door was closed, Fang Xiu revealed his true face of coming to the door today:

"The old man sent Ruoxue to you, and I hope you don't hide some things from the old man anymore!"

Chen Chao was stunned, not understanding what Fang Xiu meant.

Fang Xiu was a little angry, and waved his sleeves: "A few years ago, you just returned from the Chu State, when your son Chen Xuance had just been born, when you entered the palace, you asked the old man's granddaughter Ruoxue ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Chao remembered.

It was indeed Xuan Ce who had just been born, and one day when he entered the palace, Qin Xiangru mentioned that he wanted to stuff his daughter into the Xiangfu to give Xuan Ce as a child daughter-in-law, Qin Xiangru himself was a big fat man and ugly, and his wife Hu was a Hedong lion roar, and the daughter born by the two inherited the husband and wife Chen Chao couldn't accept any of them, but the other party Xiu mentioned it, talking about Fang Xiu's little granddaughter Fang Ruoxue looks cute, Bing Xue is smart, and everyone loves her.

In this way, Fang Xiu came over today.

It's about making a marriage contract for two dolls.

Chen Chao was embarrassed, and spread his hands and said: "My family's Xuan Ce is less than four years old this year, is Fang Ruoxue, the youngest granddaughter of Master Fang's family, ...... age?"

Meaning, the age gap is a bit bigger, several years older.

Fang Xiuke didn't care about this, he had seen Chen Chao's son Chen Xuance, although he was only four years old this year, but he was taught by Song Qingwan to be gentle and humble, and now he can read thousands of words, read poetry, and has no nonsense of ordinary children of the same age, he is a prodigy.

If there is no mistake in the future, it is also the material for entering the court as an official and a subordinate.

He found a good family for his granddaughter Fang Ruoxue.

"If you don't order, if you don't order, the old man will turn around and leave!" Fang Xiu took retreat as advance.

"Order, why don't you book, let's write a marriage book." Chen Chao grabbed Fang Xiu. After a few words, the two made a marriage contract for their two children.

Looking at the marriage book in his hand, Chen Chao sighed in his heart:

Chen Xuance, Chen Xuance, if you are such a good father as me, you can hide in the bed and have fun......
