Xiang Yan's words were difficult to pronounce, but Kou Ji understood the meaning of her words.

She was telling Kou Ji that neither her arrogance when she met Kou Ji for the first time nor her shyness when she met Kou Ji for the second time were not her true temperament.

The temper she shows now is her true temper.

A lady who is well-educated, considerate and wise.

Kou Ji looked at Xiang Yan and nodded slowly.

He took off the thick cloak from his body and put it on Xiang Yan. He laughed softly and said, "It's cold outside. Go back early."

Xiang Yan put on Kou Ji's cloak and felt not only warm all over her body, but also warm in her heart.

She stood up slowly, picked up the wine glass, and whispered to Kou Ji: "I advise you to have another drink..."

Kou Ji picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it down in one gulp, raised the empty glass in his hand toward Yan, put it on the table, and bowed with his hands clasped in fists.

Xiang Yan returned the gift, biting her lips lightly, and said softly: "I'll wait for you to come back."

Kou Ji hummed, grinned, and left the pavilion in a carefree manner.

The second sister of the Xiang family looked at Kou Ji's leaving figure, beat her chest and cursed in a low voice: "This dead man, he only saw you shivering from the cold, sister, but he didn't see me shivering from the cold.

He gave you a cloak, but I'm still suffering in the cold wind."

Xiang Yan rolled her eyes playfully and scolded softly: "Don't talk nonsense. He is going to fight on the battlefield. It is a fatal place. What you say is unlucky."

The second sister of the Xiang family said unhappily: "With his status, he can hide in Bianjing City for peace and quiet, why should he go to the border of Song and Liao to take risks?"

Xiang Yan looked at Kou Ji who had left the pavilion and climbed onto the donkey's back. He was lying very low, as if he was using the donkey's cute big head to help him resist the threats in front of him.

Cold wind.

It looks very funny.

Xiang Yan burst into laughter.

When the second sister of the Xiang family saw that Xiang Yan was staring at Kou Ji and did not answer her question, she immediately stamped her feet coquettishly and stood in front of Xiang Yan, blocking her sight, and shouted with a look of complaint: "Sister~

"

Xiang Yan's eyes were blocked by the second sister of the Xiang family, and then she withdrew her gaze, fell on the second sister of the Xiang family, and said softly: "Sooner or later, he will leave Beijing. It is better to leave Beijing now than later.

.”

The second sister of the Xiang family frowned and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Xiang Yan said calmly: "There is an unwritten rule in our court. Officials who have never served abroad cannot serve as prime ministers."

The second sister of the Xiang family said in shock: "He wants to be prime minister?"

Xiang Yan shook her head and said faintly: "I don't know if he has any intention of becoming prime minister. I only know that if he is not transferred out of Beijing as an official at this time, and if he is transferred out in the future, it will be difficult to transfer him.

return."

The second sister of the Xiang family looked confused.

Xiang Yan didn't explain much.

Because some words are taboo.

For example, the lives and deaths of Xiang Minzhong and Kou Zhun.

Xiang Minzhong and Kou Zhun were already weak and could not last many years in the court.

Once these two people died, Kou Ji would have no one to rely on in the court.

If you are sent as an official by the imperial court at that time, it may be difficult to be recalled.

Liu E, Concubine Li, and even a large number of officials in the court did not like Kou Ji. This is a well-known thing.

If they had seized the power of the court after the deaths of Kou Zhun and Xiang Minzhong, then Kou Ji would definitely not be able to survive in their hands.

Therefore, if Kou Ji wants to improve his resume, he can only take advantage of now, while Xiang Minzhong and Kou Zhun are still alive.

As long as Kou Ji had enough experience while Xiang Minzhong and Kou Zhun were alive, he would be able to securely occupy the court after Xiang Minzhong and Kou Zhun died.

Even if others want to use this excuse to embarrass Kou Ji, it will be difficult to sway Kou Ji in the slightest.

Xiang Yan tightened the cloak around her body and said to the second sister of the Xiang family who was still confused: "Go back home."

The second sister of the Xiang family nodded blankly.

Xiang Yan walked out and said: "How many servants are there in charge of delivering messages in the house? In the future, they will inevitably have to travel between Bianjing and Baozhou. If there are fewer people, it will not be enough, and we will have to recruit more.

.”

The second sister of the Xiang family pouted and said, "There are still thirteen servants who are responsible for delivering messages, and there are thirteen people staying in the house. Isn't this enough?"

Xiang Yan said calmly: "It may not be enough..."

The second sister of the Xiang family was shocked when she heard this.

A breeze blew by, making her shiver all over.

She jogged for two steps and caught up to Xiang Yan. She tugged on Xiang Yan's sleeve and said pitifully: "Sister, I'm cold..."

Xiang Yan paused and looked at her doubtfully, "I brought cotton-padded clothes with me when I came here. Why don't you wear them?"

The second sister of the Xiang family held her tongue and whispered: "I want to share a cloak with my sister..."

"Ha...what a beautiful thought..."

"..."

…

On the official road.

The group of people moved forward slowly.

Kou Ji was like a quail, sitting on the donkey's back, using the donkey's fur to keep warm.

But the cold wind seemed to have a grudge against him, and kept getting in along his sleeves and collar.

Kou Ji shrank his neck and asked the guards around him, "Who has an extra fur coat and can lend me one?"

The words just fell.

Seven or eight fur coats were thrown on Kou Ji's body, wrapping him tightly.

Kou Ji was as frozen as a dead dog, and the guards and accompanying servants could see clearly.

They did have extra clothes to keep out the cold, but they were afraid that Kou Ji would dislike them, so they didn't speak for a while.

Now that Kou Ji asks for it, they will naturally not be stingy.

Koji fell into the swamp and slowly struggled out.

Before I even took off the fur coat on my head, I heard bursts of ridicule.

Kou Ji quickly took off the fur coat on his head and looked up.

The laughter disappeared, and the guards and servants still acted like they should keep strangers away.

Kou Ji wrapped himself in his fur coat, looked around at the servants and guards, and snorted coldly.

He casually picked up an extra leather jacket, covered his head, and hummed: "You can laugh if you want, I can't see with my head covered."

"Hahaha……"

The guards and servants laughed out loud again.

There was a continuous burst of laughter.

Someone took the opportunity and asked, holding his voice: "Young Master, are you in love with Miss Xiang?"

Kou Ji covered his head and said angrily: "No..."

Immediately, someone retorted: "Young master, who are you lying to? When the little people see you at home on weekdays, you wrap yourself up tightly and will not let yourself freeze at all, let alone

Give your cloak to others.

Now you gave the cloak to the girl from the Xiang family and said that you are not getting along with her."

Kou Ji's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "So what if we get better, do you want to take care of it?"

"The little people don't care. It's just that they heard that the girl from the Xiang family is a first-class beauty in Bianjing City. The little people usually don't have the blessing to see it. Young Master, you just saw it clearly. I don't know.

Is she as beautiful as the rumors say?"

Kou Ji snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "I didn't look closely at whether she is beautiful or not. What I admire is her talent."

"Hahaha……"

As soon as Kou Ji said this, the servants and guards laughed.

Someone even took the opportunity to ridicule: "Young Master, what you said is so hypocritical. Last year, you were very indifferent to Xiang's girl. But now you have changed your tone. It doesn't depend on the parents."

When I was one year old, my head grew taller, my eyebrows opened up, and I became more beautiful, so I changed my attitude."

"Okay, how dare you kid to laugh at me."

Kou Ji didn't know when he had taken off the leather jacket on his head. He stared at the person who spoke and said through gritted teeth: "Anyone who dares to laugh at me will end up not being very good."
