Luo Junyao didn't want to cause trouble to others, but that didn't mean trouble wouldn't come to him on his own.
While chatting with Su Rui, the steward came to report that Madam Cheng'enhou and Madam Wenchanghou wanted to see them.
Luo Junyao and Su Rui were speechless. After a moment, Su Rui smiled and said, "It seems that some things are unavoidable."
Luo Junyao snorted and said, "I hope they are not here to cause trouble for me."
Su Rui patted her hand comfortingly and smiled without saying a word, obviously not expecting anything from it.
"Sister-in-law, will you accompany me?" Luo Junyao asked expectantly.
Su Rui shook her head and said with a smile: "I came here specially to visit the Princess Regent. Wouldn't it be a hindrance if I went there?" While joking, Su Rui did not forget to pat her shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, you are the Princess Regent.
They can't do anything to you."
Luo Junyao was depressed. Of course she was not afraid of them, she was just afraid of trouble.
When Luo Junyao came to the flower hall in the front yard dedicated to entertaining women, there were indeed several people sitting inside. Naturally, everyone knew Luo Junyao, Madam Chengenhou, except for the old woman sitting opposite Madam Chengenhou and the girl standing behind her.
Very strange.
Luo Junyao knew that this old lady must be the Marquis of Wenchang and Princess Duankang.
Seeing Luo Junyao step into the flower hall, no matter what they were thinking, everyone stood up and bowed, "I have met the princess."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Excuse me, I came a little late and kept the distinguished guests waiting for a long time."
Luo Junyao walked to the main seat and sat down. He looked at Madam Wenchanghou calmly and said with a smile, "Is this Madam Wenchanghou?"
Mrs. Marquis Wenchang was already over sixty years old. Her gray hair was neatly pulled into a bun. She only wore an emerald gold headdress and a light brown dress with clouds and auspicious patterns. She looked solemn and frowned.
Smiling and frowning.
She is already quite old, her face is full of wrinkles, her eyes are not as bright as those of young people, but they look very stern.
Luo Junyao inexplicably felt like the dean of her junior high school in her previous life. The old man had been serious all his life, and after retirement he often frowned.
Mrs. Marquis Wenchang nodded slightly and said, "She is my wife."
Luo Junyao smiled sweetly and said: "When did the Marquis of Wenchang's family return to Yong's house? I usually have a lot of things going on, and the prince didn't tell me. It would be a bit rude not to be able to greet the old lady."
Mrs. Marquis Wenchang lowered her eyes and said, "The princess has spoken seriously. I can't trouble the regent to ask about some trivial matters in my wife's family."
Although this is a modest remark, it is actually true. Marquis Wenchang passed away more than 20 years ago, and now the Zhao family's successor to the title is her son Wen Changbo, who is just a fourth-rank local official.
Now Wen Changbo is still in office and has not followed Mrs. Wenchang Hou to Shangyong. According to the family background of Wenchang Hou Mansion, if this old lady with the title of princess was not there, it would really not be worth the attention of the Prince Regent.
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes and smiled: "That's what I said, but the old lady is an elder after all, so she still needs Jie Feng."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wenchang Hou frowned, pondered for a moment and then said: "My wife is just a widow of the Zhao family, how dare I call myself the elder of the prince and princess."
"..." I haven't seen you resigning from the title of princess. You still receive the salary from the court and the royal family every year.
Luo Junyao was not a person who liked to beat around the bush with others. After a few pleasantries, he went straight to the topic, "Today, the two ladies came to visit in person. I don't know why?"
Mrs. Chengenhou said with a smile: "Princess, Yuxiu Academy will be officially opened in a few days. We have invited Mrs. Wenchanghou to be the headmaster. When the time comes, we also invite the princess to come and watch the ceremony."
After saying that, she glanced at Zhu Jin who was standing next to her. Zhu Jin silently stepped forward and delivered a post to Luo Junyao.
Luo Junyao had already seen this post at Anlan Academy in the morning. He just took it and glanced at it before putting it on the table next to him. He smiled and said: "Then I have to congratulate you two. I don't know what day it is?"
Mrs. Chengenhou smiled and said: "It will be five days later."
Luo Junyao frowned slightly when he heard this, and sighed softly: "What a coincidence. I have some things to deal with in five days. I'm afraid I won't have time to go to the ceremony. Please forgive me."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wenchanghou, who had lowered her eyes slightly, also raised her head and looked at Luo Junyao, seeming a little surprised by her rejection.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Mrs. Chengenhou's face, but she still smiled and said: "We know that the princess is a busy person, but this matter is also related to the future of many noble ladies in Shangyong. In previous years, at this time, everyone was studying in the academy.
, it’s very difficult for everyone to have nothing to do at home now. We also want to give these children a place to play, learn something along the way, and ask the princess to give them a favor."
After speaking, as if she was afraid that Luo Junyao would refuse, Mrs. Chengenhou said again: "The three eldest princesses also accepted the message and are going."
The meaning of this is obvious. The three eldest princesses are going, why do you, a young junior, still have to put on airs?
Luo Junyao was unmoved, and said with a slow smile: "I'm really sorry. My brother will leave Beijing for a new post in five days. As a sister, I always have to give him a gift. Madam, don't you think so?"
The smile on Mrs. Chengenhou's face froze, "This... is not a coincidence."
Mentioning the fact that Luo Jinyan was about to leave Beijing, Mrs. Chengenhou couldn't help but feel secretly resentful.
Luo Jinyan was only twenty-five or six years old, and he was already a second-rank governor.
The residence of Marquis Chengen is still the residence of His Majesty's biological uncle. Not to mention the family members who are of the same generation as Luo Jinyan, even the Marquis of Chengen himself is just a false title. Because of what happened at the end of last year and the death of the Queen Mother.
, now the Chengenhou Mansion has no real power at all.
How could Mrs. Chengenhou not feel jealous and resentful?
"Master Luo is really young and promising. General Luo and the princess are very lucky." Mrs. Chengenhou said with a smile.
Luo Junyao smiled happily, as if he didn't hear the sourness in her words, "Thank you, madam."
Mrs. Marquis Wenchang frowned, interrupted the hypocritical conversation between the two, and said: "Since the princess has no time to watch the ceremony, that's it. I won't bother you, so I will leave now."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Luo Junyao turned his head slightly and looked at Madam Wenchanghou, and saw that she had stood up holding the arm of the girl next to her, and she really looked like she was leaving.
"Thank you, you two, please go there in person." Luo Junyao said softly: "Steward, please send the two ladies out."
The steward guarding the door responded, came in and said respectfully: "Yes, Princess. Madams, please."
Mrs. Marquis Wenchang paused for a moment, looked at Luo Junyao a few more times, then turned around and walked out while holding the arm of the girl next to her.
After the group of people had gone far, Su Rui came in from the outside. Looking at Luo Jun who was sitting on the main seat with his chin in thought, he smiled and said, "How?"
Luo Jun said: "What about it?"
Su Rui smiled and said, "How about Mrs. Marquis Wenchang?"
Luo Junyao frowned and shook his head: "I didn't see it."
"Don't see it?" Su Ruiqi asked.
Luo Junyao said: "Tonggong didn't say a few words. He looked quite serious and a little arrogant. I really didn't see anything else."
Su Rui sighed: "That's true. It is said that the princess was a bit cold and arrogant when she was in Shangyong. Now she is older and stronger. However, the Zhao family has not returned to Beijing for more than 20 years. What do you think?
Would she come all the way back to be the headmaster just because those people from Chengenhou Mansion invited her? She didn't like Anlan Academy in the past, and she may not like the newly opened Yuxiu Academy that much."
Luo Junyao thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's right. This lady should feel from the bottom of her heart that the girl should not go out to study, whether it is to study the world and apply it or to learn the three obediences and four virtues. Then why is she back?"
Su Rui walked to the side and sat down, smiling and saying: "Think for yourself."
Luo Junyao thought for a moment, rolled his eyes and said, "For the Zhao family?" This old lady may not care about her title and identity as the princess, but since she claims to be a model of female virtue, she cannot care about the Zhao family.
The future of our descendants.
The situation of Wenchang Bo's Mansion is actually very similar to that of Chun'an Bo's Mansion. The titles are all gone in this generation.
Wen Changbo is now just a local official who was released from the fourth rank. If the descendants of the Zhao family have not made any achievements in the imperial examinations, they will not be able to do anything for the next generation due to the current powerful position of Wen Changbo's house.
Of course, the Zhao family is a Liangzhou family, and they can still live a very comfortable life behind closed doors on one-third of an acre of their own land, just like the Xiao family.
But the Xiao family has Xueyang Academy, and now there is an outstanding Xiao Chen, which the Zhao family does not have.
Su Rui said: "There are two young masters in the Zhao family, and they both took part in the imperial examination this year. Moreover, these two are not married yet."
Luo Junyao understood instantly, "Sister-in-law, you are much better informed than me, the regent princess."
Su Rui smiled and said: "Most of these people had some friendship with their grandfather in the previous generation, so the Su family will naturally pay attention to some news about them. When I went out, I asked someone to go back to the Su family to ask. I just sent the news that you came to meet the Hakka family.
Come here. The Zhao family has just sent a message, and Mrs. Marquis Wenchang will take the two young masters to visit my grandfather the day after tomorrow."
Tomorrow is the day when Su Rui returns home, so the Zhao family can deliberately avoid it, which shows that it is polite.
Luo Junyao's siblings thought for a while and whispered: "Are there a few girls in the Su family waiting to be married?"
Su Rui raised her hand and patted her, and said with a smile: "It is true that there are a few younger sisters waiting for marriage, but most of them have already been engaged. The sixth younger sister is not engaged, but she has just turned fourteen and is a concubine. The Zhao family may not see it.
Worth it."
Su Rui does not have any biological sisters, the sixth sister she refers to is her concubine cousin.
After sending Luo Jinyan and Su Rui away, Luo Junyao walked back slowly, leaning on Xie Yan's arm.
Seeing her listless look, Xie Yan simply stretched out his hand to stop her slender waist and hugged her forward, "Jinyan is leaving Shangyong, are you reluctant to leave?"
Luo Junyao thought for a while and nodded: "A few, I guess. It's only been half a year since the eldest brother returned to Shangyong. I'm afraid it will take several more years to go."
Xie Yan patted her vest comfortingly, and Luo Junyao quickly raised his head and smiled: "It's okay, I'm just a little bit reluctant. My eldest brother must be happy to go to Huaizhou, and my sister-in-law is also very willing. Everyone has it."
It’s what you have to do.”
There may be many people in this world who want to wait for death, but there are also many people who want to move forward.
Luo Jinyan and Su Rui are obviously both the latter, otherwise how many of the noble sons of Yongxun would be the dandy and the dainty ladies? The merits of the Luo family and the Su family are enough for them to live in peace and prosperity for the rest of their lives.
Xie Yan lowered his head and looked at her, "Why are you unhappy? Yuxiu Academy?"
"You also know?" Luo Junyao was a little surprised, "It seems that they made a lot of noise this time."
Xie Yan said: "In the name of inheriting the Queen Mother's last wish, it is certainly not a small thing. This is obviously aimed at Anlan Academy. What are your plans?"
Luo Junyao said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter. No matter what they want to teach, I think the more places they can take girls to study, the better. As for what will happen in the end, who knows if you don't give it a try? Yuxiu Academy has Mr. Zhang and others
Sir, I'm more concerned about Qingzhou's affairs now."
Xie Yan frowned slightly and said, "You pretended to be your identity when you went to see Cao Mao that day, but you didn't tell me in advance." He thought she was there to watch the fun, and only after she came back did she tell him what the princess had done.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Do you have a more suitable person? Not to mention that you will definitely not be able to get around to do these things. Even if you have the leisure...people like His Highness the Regent will easily make people doubt your identity.
Right? Qu Tiange’s martial arts is quite powerful, but I’m afraid he won’t be able to do this.”
Xie Yan stared at her without saying anything. Luo Junyao helplessly put his arms around his waist and said, "With Mr. Qu Fang here, I won't be in danger."
Xie Yan sighed with a headache and said, "If the Cao family really falls for it, do you know the dangers and troubles involved?"
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I know, trust me, I can handle it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xie Yan was silent, Luo Jun shook his arm and said: "Okay, I admit that I did it on purpose. But... Shangyong is really boring, An Lan
The affairs of the academy don’t cost me much time and energy right now, and I don’t want to get entangled with those noble ladies every day. You happen to be short of someone right now, so I can help you, isn’t it the best of both worlds?”
There is a kind of person who just feels uncomfortable if he doesn't bother.
When she first became Luo Junyao, she had to be a little restrained because she was new here, but now that she has fully integrated herself into this era, she can no longer hold back.
Although she was involved in those things last year, she was mostly just a soy saucer, so Chen Xun's matter fell into her hands. She had already made a comprehensive plan in her mind before going to see Cao Mao that day.
Naturally, they had discussed the content of the plan in advance, but when it came time to implement it, Luo Junyao replaced Qu Tiange and Duoying with her own initiative.
The effect is obviously very good. Whether it is a top master like Qu Tiange or a capable person like Die Ying, it is obviously not as mysterious and weird as an arrogant young man who suddenly appears.
The Cao family probably would never have thought that she would be a member of the regent's palace.
Xie Yan sighed lightly. The two had been together for several months and Xie Yan naturally understood the person in front of him.
This girl loves to make trouble, but she never makes mistakes when she needs to do business, and her ability to do things is unexpectedly powerful.
Many times Xie Yan wonders, is this really the legendary second girl of the Luo family?
Can a relationship change really make such a big change in a person?
But Xie Yan didn't want to go into details. He just needed to make sure that the person in front of him was indeed the real Luo Junyao, the person he had met from the beginning.
He believed that one day, she would be willing to tell him her secret.
"Starting from tomorrow, Ye Feng will also be with you." Xie Yan said.
Luo Junyao knew that he had agreed to his plan, so he cheered and threw himself into his arms, "Don't worry, he is just the governor of Qingzhou, I will definitely help you get it done!"
Xie Yan looked down at the young girl in front of him helplessly, as if what she wanted to deal with was not the feudal official, but the three kings selling big cakes on the street.
But such a confident look was so dazzling that he couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Princess."
