Liu Jingxuan has always been known for his eloquence inside and outside Yangzhou Mansion, but he has never met such an aggressive woman. Even Jin Chunyu is slightly less than that. In just a few words, I knew that the woman in front of me had read a lot, and she understood the truth very deeply. This made Liu Jingxuan speechless for a while, and looked at Zhuge Qinglin embarrassedly and didn't know what to do.

"Miss Zhuge said it very well. My lord, since you are open-minded, why should you stay with the girl for a few days?"

Liu Jingxuan turned his head and saw Xiao Rang coming.

Xiao Rang came to Liu Jingxuan, bowed, and said, "Students see adults." ”

Liu Jingxuan's face turned red: "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean by this?"

Xiao Rang's face was full of smiles: "My lord." Miss Zhuge is right. Although it is said that the melon fields and plums are under the plum, it is inevitable that some people will criticize behind their backs. But my lord, you are a righteous and noble person, and you can compare with those ordinary people. As the so-called pure person is self-purifying, and the adult's mind can swallow the sun and the moon, is it difficult to accommodate even a woman? Let the Zhuge girl live in the mansion for a while. When Miss Zhuge is found by her relatives in the future, it will not be too late to leave. ”

A group of officials shouted one after another: "Lord Xiao is very right. Please also ask Lord Liu not to let Miss Zhuge go!"

Liu Jingxuan sighed, and then gave a deep salute to Zhuge Qinglin: "What the official said just now, if you offend the girl, please forgive me." In this case, I have wronged Miss Zhuge . ”

Zhuge Qinglin fluttered with great blessings: "Thank you, sir." ”

Liu Jingxuan gave the old man who was driving the car fifteen taels of silver. After thanking the old man, he drove the carriage out of the gate of the palace.

Liu Jingxuan let Zhuge Qinglin into the lobby of the mansion and sat down, turned his head to Nangong Xuanyun and said, "Nangong Huangyun, you send someone to clean the house in the west courtyard of the back hall first, and then take the two girls to the house to rest." Go buy two new sets of bedding, pillows, and be sure to be clean. Buy a set of teapots, bowls and cooking utensils as well, and be sure to keep them clean. In addition, find an old mother to serve the two girls, and if you need anything, go to the street as soon as possible to buy it. ”

Nangong Xuanyun nodded yes.

Zhuge Qinglin's eyes twinkled, and she said softly: "The folk girl only needs Sister Xiaoyue to accompany her, and she doesn't have to bother to find her mother-in-law." ”

Liu Jingxuan nodded: "In this case, then let this Zhuge Yue girl worry a lot." If you need anything, or what you want to eat, just look for Nangong to catch your head. You must be tired after a long day's journey. After supper, rest early. The official was also tired and took his leave. With that, Liu Jingxuan returned to his house in the backyard.

Liu Jingxuan closed the door and sighed in a low voice.

Zhuge Yue didn't treat Nangong Huangyun as an outsider at all, and made a bunch of requests on his head. What to eat and use, it made Nangong Xuanyun have a headache. Fortunately, a group of officials were eager to try and compete to run errands. Nangong Bright Cloud is also worry-free.

After the house was cleaned, Nangong Huangyun took Zhuge Qinglin and Zhuge Yue to the back hall. This is a courtyard in the northwest of the government office, which belongs to the corner of the third courtyard. In the middle is Yoo Kyung-sun's courtyard. To the northeast is the residence of Nangong Xuanyun and Xiao Rang.

Zhuge Qinglin stepped into the courtyard and found that the snow in the courtyard was faintly spread all over the courtyard. The rockery is craggy and surrounded by ponds. There are dozens of willow trees planted around, but it is the middle of winter, and the branches are all bare. Follow the stone path around the rockery, and you will see three houses with one light and two darkness. This house has green tiles and vermilion eaves, and blue windows, although it is not magnificent, but it is also wide and bright.

Walking into the main room, the tables and chairs are neat and tidy, and the window lattices are bright. Each of the two rooms had a wooden bed, a new brocade futon, and a yellow veil hanging from the bedside. I don't know which of the nimble officials had already placed the charcoal brazier in the house. As soon as Zhuge Qinglin entered the door, he felt a wave of warmth.

After a while, the cook sent dinner directly into the main hall, and after Nangong Huangyun and Zhuge Qinglin exchanged pleasantries, they said goodbye and left. Zhuge Yue was already so hungry that he put his front and back tones in the back, and in the blink of an eye, he set up the dishes and chopsticks, urging: "Miss, hurry up and eat!"

To be honest, Zhuge Qinglin was really hungry. After the two swept away most of the roast chicken on the table, Zhuge Qinglin and Zhuge Yue had a little consciousness of returning to the world.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhuge Yue asked softly: "This Lord Liu is really worthy of his reputation. When I first came to Yangzhou City, the people here always praised him, and I was really a little skeptical. Now that I see it, I am more benevolent and righteous than that Chu Yuanwai. ”

Zhuge Qinglin nodded: "Looking at this person's various behaviors, he is indeed a clean official. However, when I saw the words he told Nangong Xuanyun, I was too careful. Although I have not seen many people, I have seen very few officials. But I've heard that the higher the position of this official, the bigger the shelf will be. He is a four-grade yellow hall, why is he so careful in his work? It is incomprehensible. ”

Zhuge Yue blinked his eyes and said, "Miss." It was also a good decision for Lord Liu to send us to Daming Temple just now. And he doesn't owe me anything, why do you speak so aggressively, not like your usual style? ”

Zhuge Qinglin slowly stood up, came to the window, pushed open the window lattice, and looked at the night sky that was already dark. A cold wind blew on his face, blowing Zhuge Qinglin's black hair, which looked particularly depressed and lonely.

Zhuge Qinglin said after a while: "I left the capital by fighting." My heart has never been at peace. I don't know what happened to my father now, and if my sister can take care of his old man. For many days, I was depressed in my chest, so I showed no mercy to the servant. And this Lord Liu really didn't say anything. It's just that he repeatedly shirked it, which made me a little angry, so I vented it on the prefect. I don't know what's going on. ”

Zhuge Yue stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

This night, Zhuge Yue slept soundly. But Zhuge Qinglin didn't feel the slightest sleep. From the moment she left the capital, she knew what it meant.

After the shift, Liu Jingxuan had just finished dinner and was about to go out for a walk with Xiao Rang. Nangong Huangyun stepped into the door of the room, with a spring breeze on his face, and bowed down: "See your lord." ”

Liu Jingxuan nodded: "Then has Miss Zhuge settled down?"

Nangong Huangyun smiled and said, "The two Zhuge girls have already settled down. Adults can rest assured. ”

Liu Jingxuan got up and was about to go out, and patted Nangong Xuanyun on the shoulder: "That's good, that's good." Mr. Xiao and I are going out for a walk, would you like to go together?"

"My lord, I have a few words to say when I come here. Nangong Xuanyun said.

Liu Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "What do you have to say?"
