After dealing with the affairs of Shifang Town, Qing Moyan left with Ru Xiaonan and prepared to return to the capital.

Cai Yiming came to see him off, and when he left, he gave Ru Xiaonan a lot of things, but this time he learned to be obedient and did not give the things to Ru Xiaonan. Instead, it was directly sent to Qing Moyan.

Qing Moyan didn't refuse, and accepted it directly.

But what surprised everyone the most was that outside the town, they met Shi Datian, who stopped the car, and this thing held the wheels and didn't let go, begging Qing Moyan to take him away, even if he was an errand runner, he also admitted it.

Xuanyu took Shi Datian off the wheel with a black face like a dead dog and threw it into the grass on the side of the road.

Ru Xiaonan muttered to Qing Moyan in the car, and finally Qing Moyan nodded and agreed to let Shi Datian follow.

Shi Da Tianle's mouth couldn't be closed, and Xuanyu and the others seemed to feel an invisible cloud pressing down on their heads.

On the way back to the capital, it is destined that their ears can no longer be quiet.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and when she returned to the capital, Ru Xiaonan was already wearing a small jacket, and there was a charcoal stove in the carriage. Her little face was flushed, and she was wearing a red brocade jacket, looking like a happy doll for the New Year, how pleasing she looked.

When I returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already evening.

Qing Moyan had just gotten out of the carriage and turned around to pick up Ru Xiaonan, when the housekeeper came out of nowhere.

"Master Hou prepared dinner in the upper courtyard, and I heard that the prince is coming back, and he is waiting for you. ”

Ru Xiaonan got out of the carriage and glanced at Qing Moyan.

For her, who had just returned home, this was really disappointing news.

I thought I could take a hot shower and rest comfortably when I came back. I didn't expect to go to the old marquis for dinner.

Looking at his old face, it's really unappetizing.

"Then you can only go first. Ru Xiaonan muttered.

Qing Moyan coldly ordered the others to go back to the courtyard first, leaving Xuanyu alone. took Ru Xiaonan to the front yard.

Front yard, small hall.

The second young master and his concubine Nian had already arrived early, and Nian was bowing his head and pouring tea.

The old marquis was talking to the second young master, and the second young master bowed his head from time to time with a respectful attitude.

Qing Moyan walked in with Ru Xiaonan, and all the voices in the small hall stopped abruptly.

Nian raised his head and looked at the door.

Seeing Qingmo Yan come in, he was still holding a porcelain doll with red cheeks in his hand.

That little monster...... I've grown up a little bit more.

Clutching the teapot in his hand, Nian tried to suppress the sourness in his heart.

She couldn't understand what was so good about this monster, why did Shaoqing protect her like this, wasn't he afraid that one day she would eat him?

"Mo Yan is here. Let's serve. The old marquis coughed and instructed the stewards around him.

Ru Xiaonan was a little surprised, it was rare that the old marquis didn't take the initiative to stir up trouble, this is the sun coming out in the west?

She turned her head to look out the window, and Qing Moyan also understood her intentions, and smiled slightly.

Looking at the pair of beautiful people on the opposite side and smiling at each other tacitly, Nian deliberately put the teapot on the table.

There was a sound of "bang", and Qing Moyan didn't react, but it startled the second young master.

He shouted angrily: "Are you blind, the eldest brother has sat down, and you still don't go to pour tea?"

Nian bit his lip, it was only more than a month. The second young master has changed from a young man who was warm and affectionate to a bitter and mean gentleman.

Although he was also infatuated with her body, he soon became troubled by the pressure from his father, and the most he saw her say every day was to ask her to use her dowry to supplement him, so that he could find a good job and a good future.

The middle feed of the Hou Mansion finally fell into her hands as she wished, but it was not at all what she thought.

The public silver of the Hou Mansion is pitiful, and she can only rely on her father-in-law's little money, her father-in-law is a very stingy person, and there is not even a side room lady in the back house, only two girls in the room, or according to the monthly example given by ordinary big girls.

The second young master has no errands, and the monthly silver is only in and out of his hands. The monthly allowance was distributed to him in less than ten days, and sometimes she had to pay for it herself if she wanted to buy something, so she would never use the dowry to supplement him.

Now the second young master is scolding her in front of everyone. She wanted to hit him on the head with the teapot in her hand even more hatefully.

She was blind at the beginning, and thought that the Hou Mansion was a place with oil and water, but she didn't expect that now she is worse than the concubines of ordinary merchants.

"No need to pour tea. Qing Moyan said lightly. "We only drank it when we came. ”

The old marquis glanced at Nian, with obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes.

The maids came over to serve the dishes one after another, and Ru Xiaonan couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the dishes on the table.

This kind of food is simply worse than what they eat on the road.

Qing Moyan never loses her in terms of eating, and she also comes with her heart, but even so. The food in the Hou Mansion should not be inferior to this.

She remembers the last time she ate here, when they were mostly eating meat, and now they are all grazing rabbits. Is this the rhythm of being a monk?

Qing Moyan also saw the dishes on the table, and squeezed her little hand quietly.

Ru Xiaonan looked up at him.

Qing Moyan whispered: "Bear with me for a while, I have already sent someone to Baiyulou to order food." I'll let you eat when I get back. ”

Ru Xiaonan couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

Nian Shi stood behind the second young master and saw this scene, as if his eyes had been stabbed, and he felt pain.

She and the second young master were all trembling in front of the old marquis, but Qing Moyan didn't care, even with it, the little monster was also fearless.

There was a sulk in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she deliberately said, "What is the prince talking to Miss Ru, so happy?"

Qing Moyan didn't answer. Ru Xiaonan was smiling, "Qing Moyan ordered Bai Yulou's meal, and I haven't eaten the dim sum there for a long time." ”

As soon as these words came out, even the old marquis's face sank.

"It's good to eat here, what kind of food did you order in Baiyulou, aren't you afraid of being too extravagant and letting those talkative officials know about the impeachment of you?"

"It's just a matter of ordering a few dishes, and I haven't eaten gold leaf and drank elixir, so I'm afraid that the official won't be able to control me. Qing Moyan said disdainfully, "Xiao Nan is growing her body, and she can't eat some vegetables every day, but I have only been away from the house for more than a month, and I didn't expect that the days in the house are about to be uncovered." ”

Nian and the second young master all lowered their heads, their faces full of shame, and the muscles on the cheeks of the old marquis jumped wildly, as if they were going to jump up angrily at any time.

Ru Xiaonan counted silently, thinking that the other party would soon be furious, and then they would be able to find an opportunity to go back, but she didn't want the old marquis to unexpectedly hold back her anger.

Even Qing Moyan noticed something strange and turned his head to look at his father.

"I heard that there was a case in the palace recently. The old marquis cleared his throat and said, "The fourth prince was ordered to go to the border, in place of the second prince's position as the commander of the army, and the queen mother specially took his son into the palace before leaving the palace, saying that she wanted the emperor to be closer to this emperor and grandson, who would have thought that this emperor was plotted in the palace and was almost poisoned, and the emperor was furious and ordered someone to investigate the case thoroughly." ”

The old marquis glanced at his second son, and continued to say to Qing Moyan: "You want to find a way to get your second brother into the criminal department, let him mix down for a few days first, sooner or later you will enter the palace to take over the case, and take him to show up when handling the case, and when the case is solved, he will naturally be promoted." ”

The old marquis finished his words in a tone of "this matter is settled", and there was only one thought left in Ru Xiaonan's mind: Old marquis, can you be shameless anymore?
