When Xiao Yan heard her voice, he stepped a little faster. When he reached him, he quickly supported the little girl who jumped down the three steps with his eyes full of sparkling eyes.
"Be careful, don't fall."
After helping the person to stand still, Xiao Yan said towards the waterside pavilion: "I've seen Madam."
"Come and sit."
Rongyue saw Xiao Yan leading the little girl in. Although she was surprised that they were so close, she let go of her hand and saluted her respectfully after seeing Xiao Yan enter the waterside pavilion.
She didn't think much about it, she was just very happy: "I was talking about you to Tang Ning just now, and I came here without thinking about you."
"What did you say about me?" Xiao Yan sat aside with a smile.
Rong Yue said warmly: "It's not just what happened with the Lu family, this girl is worried about you and has been distracted these days."
Xiao Yan looked sideways at Tang Ning and saw her looking at him eagerly, her big eyes full of concern. His brows softened a bit, and the solemnity he had in the palace before disappeared.
"The Lu family matter has been decided. Your Majesty will not allow an in-depth investigation. I just treat it as a waste of time and nothing important."
Tang Ning frowned: "Is the case really going to be finalized?"
Xiao Yan nodded: "The Ministry of Punishment will give the results in three to five days at the latest."
"Lu Zhao can carry it alone?"
Xiao Yan said "hmm".
Tang Ning couldn't help but purse her lips: "Is Lu Chongyuan not at all censured?"
"The Holy Heart is like this." Xiao Yan mocked.
This time, even Rong Yue couldn't help but frown, thinking that this case was child's play.
Even she, an outsider, could see that in the Caoliang case, how could Lu Zhao alone be able to do so many things? What's more, Lu Zhao was the son of the Lu family. Even if it was really just him, the Lu family would not be completely blameless. But His Majesty actually spared the Lu family.
"It's really ridiculous!"
Rongyue was dissatisfied, but after all, the holy decree had been given, and there were some things that they could not discuss. She sighed softly: "Does this matter affect you? Those people in the aristocratic family have never been tolerant of others. The Lu family Even more so, will they retaliate against you?"
Xiao Yan said quietly: "Retaliation will definitely happen, but they don't dare to do anything right now."
"After Lu Zhao was convicted, although Lu Chongyuan could still stay in the court, the Qingliu faction would not miss the opportunity to impeach the Lu family. Coupled with the matters involving the Guan family and King Cheng, the Lu family was still severely damaged and faced with the Yushitai Those people are so anxious that they have no intention of touching me in a short period of time."
Lu Chongyuan must hate him to the core, but he is not an impulsive person. If he wants to touch him, it must be a killing blow that can completely suppress him. A small fight will not hurt his foundation, and it will also make people look at the Lu family joke.
Rong Yue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "That's good, you still have to be more careful. The background of aristocratic families is no better than that of ordinary people."
Xiao Yan nodded: "I know."
Tang Ning sat aside, listening to the conversation between Xiao Yan and her aunt. She rolled her eyes and suddenly said, "Brother, do you have anything else to do today?"
Xiao Yan looked at her: "No, what?"
"Brother, please accompany me to the Cao family." Tang Ning said, "People from the Beijing Construction Department came over yesterday and said that the academy will be completely completed in a few days. I want to ask Mr. Cao about his The mountain chief I mentioned before has come to Beijing, and we have to discuss the matter of the Wende Monument with Duke Cao."
"Brother, didn't you ask me to ask Duke Cao and those civil servants to help control the people who teach in the academy? When the academy is completed, the list will be finalized. After it is announced as soon as possible, those students can be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible."
Only with teachers who teach can those students dare to go to school with confidence.
The academy must have people to gain popularity.
Xiao Yan heard that what she said was business, so naturally he would not refuse: "Okay, I will go with you."
When Tang Ning saw that he had agreed, she said to Rongyue: "Aunt, brother and I are going to Cao's house. We may discuss the academy with Duke Cao and delay it for a while. Don't wait for me tonight, I may be late. return."
Rongyue nodded: "Go."
Tang Ning gently tugged on Xiao Yan's sleeve: "Brother, let's go."
Xiao Yan was a little helpless: "Don't be so anxious..."
"Go earlier and make a deal earlier."
Seeing the little girl busy walking away, Xiao Yan had to turn around and said, "Madam, I'll take my leave now."
When two figures, one tall and one small, walked out, they passed by the covered bridge beside the water pavilion. The little girl turned sideways and turned to say something to him. She walked backwards and walked out, mumbling incessantly.
The tall figure turned sideways to block her, reached out and patted her forehead, then pushed her shoulders and twisted her away.
"Watch the road."
Xiao Yanran's faintly smiling voice could still be heard.
The little girl muttered: "I'm watching!"
Rongyue smiled happily and said, "The relationship between these two brothers is really good."
Nian Xia on the side couldn't help but frowned. She used to serve Tang Ning personally, but was transferred to serve Rong Yue after the incident with Aunt Jiang happened. She always felt that the girl was too close to the governor. Some, and a few nights ago, she even saw the girl hugging Governor Xiao.
Nian Xia was about to speak but stopped: "Madam, the lady..."
She had just raised her head when she saw Hua Wu, who was still smiling beside her, suddenly dropped the tea cup in his hand on the table, turned his head and looked at her steadily, with a cold look in his big eyes that were always raised. .
Rongyue turned around: "What's wrong with Tang Ning?"
Nian Xia swallowed the words that were on her lips: "It's nothing. I mean, the lady told you to take the medicine on time. The medicine is going to be cold."
Rong Yue laughed immediately after hearing this: "This girl, when everyone is out, she acts like a housekeeper. Give me the medicine and drink it quickly. This will save her from nagging her endlessly when she comes back, which will make my ears hurt." .”
When Nian Xia waited for Rong Yue to drink the medicine and retreated with the medicine bowl, he bumped into Hua Wu before he had gone far.
Hua Wu is not as tall as Nian Xia, and is much younger than her. She also has a bit of a little girl's naivety when she speaks.
"Sister Nianxia, she has a good temper. She loves slaves like us and never treats us harshly. She makes us live a better life than ordinary ladies from the official family. However, slaves must observe the proper rules, don't you think?"
Nian Xia's heart trembled: "I'm just afraid that the girl will go the wrong way..."
"It is up to the girl to choose how she wants to go. As a slave, you only need to be loyal."
Hua Wu is obviously petite, with a baby face that looks childish, but when she speaks, she is unreasonably attractive: "What do you think, Sister Nian Xia?"
Nian Xia was silent for a moment: "I understand."
Hua Wu smiled at her, turned around and left. After only a few steps, he heard Nian Xia whispering behind him: "But Hua Wu, Governor Xiao is a eunuch after all..."
Hua Wu turned around: "What's wrong with the eunuch?"
Lu Zhi Nian's extra growth was not necessarily a good thing. She only knew that Governor Xiao was good to her girl and would protect her wholeheartedly, and the girl was happy to be with him.
Hua Wu is young and is still ignorant about the relationship between men and women, but she knows who her girl can relax and be happy with, and who treats her better.
The little girl said seriously: "As long as the girl likes it, let alone a eunuch, any bastard will do."
Nian Xia: "..."
Seeing Hua Wu skipping away after warning Nian Xia, Nian Xia left with a look of "who am I and where am I?" Cang Lang, who was hiding in the dark, came out and burst into laughter.
He originally saw that his master was rarely close to the girl, so he took the initiative to avoid suspicion and let the two of them be alone. He saw Hua Wu intercepting Nian Xia from a distance, and came over to take a look out of curiosity. He never expected to hear such "shattering words."
"Bastard..."
Phew!
When he was waiting to go out, he saw his governor helping Tang Ning get on the carriage. Hua Wu's words suddenly came to his mind and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Xiao Yan frowned and looked at him.
Cang Lang waved his hands quickly: "It's okay, it's okay, I accidentally choked on the wind."
Xiao Yan got into the carriage for some reason. After the curtain was lowered, Cang Lang flicked his whip. When the carriage started to move, he was sitting on the shaft with his shoulders hunched and laughing.
Thinking of Hua Wu's serious little face, Canglang couldn't help laughing.
I never noticed it before, but that little girl is really interesting.
