After all, Zu An did not let them worship. The Sang family father and daughter became more and more grateful. Sang Hong's eyes were full of admiration. They had been enemies of each other before, and it was only now that they truly understood how powerful the other party was in reaching such a level step by step.
"By the way, Azu, how did you save your life from the emperor?" Sang Hong was a little curious. Sang Qian and Zheng Dan's beautiful eyes were staring at him closely. This was everyone's doubt. After all,
When we first came to Beijing, everyone thought this was a doomed situation.
"Maybe it's because the emperor is kind," Zu An said, "I dedicated the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra to him. After reading it, he praised me a few words and awarded me a baron."
His transaction with the emperor is the biggest secret, so naturally it cannot be revealed to others.
"Benevolence?" A hint of sarcasm flashed across Sang Hong's face. If the emperor had been kind, he wouldn't have ended up like this. You must know that he worked for the emperor wholeheartedly and offended countless powerful people. As a result, he was immediately treated by the emperor as soon as something happened.
Abandoned son.
In fact, based on his knowledge, he also knew that this was an inevitable outcome. Normally, the reaction would not be so big, but because of this incident, his only son died on the way back to Beijing, completely cutting off his descendants. How could he?
I can look at my own experiences as rationally as before.
Sang Qian on the side frowned and said, "Is it because the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra cannot lead to immortality?"
After much deliberation, there was only one explanation, otherwise the emperor would have no reason to let him go.
Zu An smiled slightly: "The theory of immortality is illusory, and it is just spreading rumors."
This is how he and the emperor get better. Combined with the emperor's treatment of him, most people will believe this, so that Zaun can be completely freed from the state of being the enemy of the whole world.
But King Qi was different. He was arguing with the emperor, and it was impossible to believe the emperor's unilateral rhetoric. He had to confirm it himself before he could rest assured. Otherwise, the emperor would have been secretly immortal, and his life's plans and layout would have become a joke.
.
Sang Hong looked playful. Based on his understanding of the emperor, he knew that this move must have deep meaning. However, he did not continue to ask, but said meaningfully: "Azu, you have been very kind to our Sang family. From now on, you can
If you need anything, just come to us. Although you have always been blessed with great blessings, if you don't pay attention to this maelstrom in the capital, you will be shattered into pieces, so it is better to be careful."
"Thank you, Mr. Sang." Zu An was overjoyed. You must know that he still knew too little about all the forces in the capital. It would be an exaggeration to say that he had a dark eye. But with the guidance of Sang Hong, an old fox who has been immersed in politics for decades,
No matter what you do, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Sang Hong continued: "However, I am not as energetic as I used to be as I am older. This time I lost a child in my old age and was hit hard. If you have anything to do in the future, you can go directly to Xiaoqian. Her intelligence is not inferior to mine, and I think she can help you."
.”
Zu An was stunned, and then he noticed that when he was in Mingyue City, although Sang Hong was older, his eyes were full of high fighting spirit, but now they were full of decay, and he looked more than ten years older.
He felt sad and cupped his hand to Sang Qian who was standing aside: "I may have to trouble Miss Sang a lot in the future."
"Brother Zu, you're welcome." Sang Qian smiled lightly, but glanced at her father with some confusion. She was keenly aware that her father had the intention of bringing her and Zu An together, but daddy, if you knew about him and his sister-in-law...hey
.
"By the way," Sang Hong suddenly said, "The application to the emperor has been approved. We are about to leave for our hometown in the next two days to bury Qian'er's coffin back to the Sang family's ancestral grave. It may take a while."
"Ah?" Zu An looked at Zheng Dan subconsciously. Do you want to say goodbye after just meeting?
He knew Zheng Dan's difficulties. She was responsible for the family's honor. Although she had not officially completed the marriage ceremony with Sang Qian, she was indeed the wife of the Sang family's matchmaker. As long as the Sang family's Zheng family did not terminate the engagement, she would not be able to leave for a day.
.
Of course, it's okay to leave, but if you don't pay attention, you will bear the pressure and infamy of the world, and the Zheng family will be criticized by thousands of people.
Zheng Dan was also very apologetic. She didn't want to leave so soon. She insisted on waiting here for a few more days because she was worried about Zu An. Now that her lover was fine, she was completely relieved.
As for herself, she planned to accompany the Sang family through this difficult time first. After all, the Sang family had just lost their only son and was currently organizing funeral arrangements. It would not be kind for her to file for divorce at this time.
Sang Qian on the side snorted secretly, thinking that these two people were flirting in front of us, did they think we were dead people?
Also, dad is always smart, so why didn’t he notice anything unusual about his sister-in-law?
Sang Hong coughed and suddenly spoke: "By the way, Azu, I have one thing to remind you. I heard that you have become the prince's renouncer, so you must be careful when you go to the East Palace. Although the prince has some... ahem,
He is a bit simple, but you must not regard him as an ordinary fool, because his deep character is actually very cruel, and he does not have enough reason to restrain him. He always does whatever he wants. Over the years, he has accidentally provoked his
The eunuchs and palace maids have grass growing on their graves, so you must not offend him."
"Thank you, Lord Sang, for reminding me." Zu An thought of the miserable eunuchs he had seen before and nodded slightly. If an ordinary family had a stupid son, it might not cause any harm, but the emperor's stupid son was extraordinary.
As a prince, he naturally has huge power. Once he does evil, it will be extremely harmful.
Sang Hong continued: "By the way, there is one more thing. The young master of the Shi family who was at odds with you in Mingyue City is now one of the prince's relatives."
"Huh?" Zu An had almost forgotten Brother Hibi. When he left Mingyue City in a hurry and fled back to the capital, he didn't expect to meet again so soon. They really meet everywhere in life.
Sang Qian on the side smiled and said: "Brother Zu can kill Taoist Mosquitoes, and a mere Shi Kun is certainly no problem. And now that Brother Zu has been appreciated by the emperor, the Shi family must not dare to use his power to overwhelm others."
"Thank you, Miss Sang." Zu An gave Sang Qian a strange look. Although the other party's analysis was indeed reasonable, why did he always feel that her tone was full of schadenfreude?
After everyone chatted for a while, Zu An stood up and left. Although he wanted to stay with Zheng Dan for a while, it was still inconvenient in front of the Sang family and his daughter.
Returning to Ding's Mansion, uh, no, it's his own home now.
Zu An was shocked to find that the interior had been completely renovated. The interior of the house had obviously been carefully tidied up, and even the bedding and other items were brand new.
His first reaction was that Zhu Xie sent someone to take care of it, but he quickly rejected this guess. Those embroidered messengers could kill people, but their skills were probably not so skillful.
He noticed that the surrounding environment was somewhat similar to the Chu family in Mingyue City, and it was very similar to the small courtyard where he lived at that time.
Smelling the faint fragrance of flowers and plants lingering in the air, he suddenly realized that all this was probably Qiao Xueying's handiwork.
Only she can be so ingenious and know everything about the Chu family.
"Xue'er, Xue'er, where are you?" Zu An hurriedly searched for that pretty figure, not knowing how she could clean up the entire yard by herself. What a workload it was.
Although she could use countless flowers, plants and vines to replace her hands, she did not know how much sweat and hard work she put into decorating such a large yard so warmly in such a short time.
Unfortunately, he searched all over the yard and couldn't find her. Finally, he found a letter beside the bed, which read in beautiful handwriting: "Without your arrival, changes have occurred in the clan, which need to be dealt with urgently. See you in the future."
Zu An felt a little guilty. He could imagine that Qiao Xueying had worked so hard to decorate the whole yard by herself, waiting for him to come back with great expectation, but unfortunately she was disappointed when he never came back.
I don’t know what happened to her tribe, but I hope everything goes well.
He suddenly realized that among these confidantes around him, everyone seemed to shoulder a lot of responsibilities, and their lives were full of compromises and helplessness. He was the only one who was alone and could be more relaxed.
After working hard for several days, he decided to take a hot bath to relax. Although the practitioners in this world have practiced to a certain extent and their bodies are already spotless, he still couldn't change some habits after being a mortal for so long before traveling through time.
Although there was no servant to help boil the water, it was not a problem for him. He directly used Lan Fu's ability to guide the water from the well into a large bathtub, then summoned Daji and asked her to use fox fire to heat the water in the bathtub.
.
Zu An was lying comfortably in the bathtub. Although the technology in this world was not as advanced as in the previous life, it had the ability to practice and could often achieve similar living conveniences that the technology in the previous life had brought.
People in this world only know how to practice and fight and kill. What a waste of natural resources.
Daji, who was kneeling beside her, had an expressionless face. If she had a spirit in heaven and knew that this guy was using his own flames to boil his bath water, she would probably be so angry that she would blow his head off.
While Zu An was taking a leisurely bath, there was a slight knock on the door.
