Rong Jue walked into the inner room like a frustrated little daughter-in-law.
Lan's sister-in-law and Liu Huanyan called "Second Uncle", and the three of them quickly slipped away with their heads lowered.
Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "Sit down, have you all discussed it?"
"Sister-in-law, we have discussed it. We will remove the remaining forces of the Li family in the military. Brother Xuan will be responsible for cutting off the Li family's business. My father will join forces with Chu Shibo and Chu Heng to suppress them with all their strength. I will discuss the Li family’s power in the court in detail with my eldest brother after he brings Yue’er back.”
Rong Jue expressed his thoughts.
Mrs. Xu nodded and said, "Well, when the Duke comes back, there are also a few people from the Li family in the Hanlin Academy, so they should be dealt with as well."
Rong Jue wants to remove the power of the Li family for the sake of Liansheng. Now that he recognizes Liansheng's identity, he wants to help this child.
However, he has not told anyone else about Lian Sheng at present. The fewer people who know, the safer it will be for Lian Sheng.
Not to mention how all parties are planning to remove the Li family's influence in the court, there is a small village outside the city not far from Jingshan Academy.
The time in Xiaozhuangzi is quiet and quiet.
Zhuangzi is very small, with a small courtyard with two entrances. There are four masters and servants living there.
An old man with white hair, a servant of about the same age, a fat cook and a man in his early thirties.
If Liu Anan sees it, he will definitely recognize that this white-haired old man is the old man who lives on the hill in the mountain village.
The four masters and servants also moved here from their house in the capital a few days ago.
"Guangfu, ask Dalu to call the child. There are some things that she should know." The white-haired old man ordered the old servant.
"Master, after this is over, should we return to the valley?" the old servant asked.
"Yes, after this matter is settled, we will leave the capital. Oh, it's better to be in the valley! I don't want to stay in the capital for a day anymore!"
The old servant smiled and went to inform Dalu, the man in his thirties, and then put the chessboard on the board.
"Master, what if the Holy One doesn't let you go?"
"Hey, that brat, if you dare not let me go, I will make trouble for him! Now there is no obstacle to stop him. The remaining forces of the Li family have nothing to fear. The day of Jingyuan Hou Zhaoxue is not far away. He Aren’t you going to let me enjoy the happiness?”
The old servant smiled. If the Holy Master really refused to let his master go, his master would really dare to lie down and wallow in the hall.
Liu Anan has not been idle these days. Her Wenxiang Pavilion and Liuji Duowei Xiaofang are preparing to open new stores.
Of course Rong Jue strongly supports it.
Two days ago, news came out from the Lin family that Mrs. Qiu, the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, was seriously ill. It was said that she could no longer get up and could only spend the rest of her life in bed.
Liu Anan understood that the Lin family had dealt with the Qiu family.
If the Qiu family is divorced, the Lin family is worried that someone will find the Qiu family, and the already resentful Qiu family may do even crazier things. If she is left sick in the backyard and becomes a disabled person, she will lose her value.
I have to say that Lin's son sees things clearly and can be ruthless when he should be ruthless.
Lin's eldest son came to the house with heavy gifts to accuse him, and also went to the Rongguo Duke's Mansion and the Chu Mansion. Lin's mother was also a sensible person, so this matter was over.
From now on, everyone should move around as they should.
Lin's wife Lin Jingyi was also very moved by the Lin family's attitude.
Her husband's family, Rongguo's palace, and the Chu family did not blame her, which made her feel a lot better.
She loves Liu Anan even more, which can be regarded as atonement for her sister-in-law.
That day Qing Yi hurried in from outside and said, "Girl, someone has sent a letter. I don't recognize the person who sent the letter. He is a man in his thirties."
Liu Anan raised a nice eyebrow and said, "Oh, let me take a look."
Qing Yi handed over the letter, and Liu Anan opened it and stood up suddenly, with surprise on his face.
"Girl, what is this?" Grandma Jin and Qing Yi asked in unison.
"Mommy, Qing Yi, this is the old man who used to live on the hill outside the village. He taught me how to identify herbs and read many books to me!"
Liu Anan was so happy that she shed tears. She didn't expect that the old grandpa was actually in the capital!
Grandma Jin and Qing Yi were also very happy. They heard the girl talk about the old man more than once.
"Girl, do you want to visit this old man?" Grandma Jin asked.
Liu Anan nodded vigorously, "Grandpa lives in Xiaozhuangzi, the capital, not far from Jingshan Academy. I will go there tomorrow."
Liu Anan was going to visit his grandfather, and he didn't hide this from Rong Jue.
When Rong Hou heard that he was the old man who had helped his daughter and taught her carefully for a long time, he immediately decided to go with his daughter.
Early in the morning, the father and daughter left the city in a carriage, followed by Qing Yi and Hei Yao. Soon the carriage left the city and headed straight for Jingshan Academy.
The carriage came to a small village, which was indeed not big, and stopped at the entrance of an ancient courtyard.
Qing Yi went up and knocked on the door.
Soon the door opened, and it was Dalu, the man who delivered the message, who came out.
"Ronghou, Miss An'an, my master is waiting for you two." The man said very politely.
Rong Jue looked familiar to this man, but couldn't remember where he had seen him before, but he actually knew his identity.
Without any time to think, the group of people followed the man into the small courtyard, and the man closed the courtyard door.
"Girl An'an, we meet again."
Following the voice, an old man with white hair walked out of the main room. However, the old man's face was still very young. He was really a very energetic old man with white hair and a childlike face.
Liu An'an's eyes turned red when she saw him. He took two steps and knelt heavily on the ground. "Girl, please say hello to grandpa. Grandpa, how are you always?"
Liu Anan really cried.
She was very grateful to the old man for helping An An. Without the old man, An An would not be where she would be.
"Good boy, get up quickly." The white-haired old man bent down and pulled Liu Anan up.
Rong Jue remained silent because he was completely broken.
this?
How can it be?
Mr. Elder, the Holy Mentor!
Although he had been at the border for ten years and returned to Beijing only a few times, he had met Mr. Elder. He walked all the way, and the person standing behind him was Mr. Elder.
In Da Qi, no matter scholars, aristocratic families, or important ministers in the court, if they don't obey anyone, they must obey the elders.
The knowledge, insight, and strategies of Mr. Elder are unparalleled!
When the late emperor was young, he was taught by the elder, but later he became more and more paranoid, and the elder broke off the teacher-student relationship out of anger.
When the Holy One was still a prince, he asked the old gentleman to come out many times, but the old gentleman refused. Later, he didn't know how to persuade the elder gentleman, so he began to teach the Holy One carefully and supported him all the way.
"Marquis Dingguo, long time no see!" Mr. Elder said with a smile.
"Yuan, Mr. Yuan!" Rong Jue stuttered.
"Grandpa, do you know my father?" Liu Anan also looked confused.
Mr. Elder nodded slightly.
Rong Jue saw that the elder gentleman was not surprised at all that Liu Anan was his daughter. His mind turned quickly, and something suddenly popped out.
The old servant brought out the hot tea, and several people sat at the small table under the tree.
"Grandpa, why did you leave Kaoshan Village suddenly?" Liu Anan asked with some confusion.
"Oh, it's not like my apprentice insists on letting me come back. I have no choice. I originally wanted to live in Kaoshan Village for a few more years, but my careless apprentice keeps urging me to come back. My ears are almost calloused."
Liu Anan laughed when he heard this.
