In the evening, Chu Nanzhi had a good sleep. When she woke up, she felt refreshed and her body was no longer as weak as before.
Looking up, he found that the pretty boy was staring blankly at him, holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand and fanning it nonchalantly over him.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. No wonder she felt a chill on her back in her sleep.
"Did you have another nightmare? Why are you sweating profusely when you sleep?"
Lin Jinxiao looked worried and asked suspiciously.
"No."
Chu Nanzhi shook her head blankly, she had no impression at all.
If I had to say what I dreamed about, it could only be an erotic dream.
All I dream about is being with the pretty boy.
She sat up unhurriedly, and Lin Jinxiao also twisted his aching arms, pointed to the basin next to the dressing table, and said softly: "Quickly wash up and go to the book school. The second elder asked you to go there in the morning."
Let’s have dinner after learning etiquette.”
After saying that, he immediately added: "I see that you are very tired recently. Today I will personally cook some delicious dishes for you to reward you."
The dignified governor and prince of the imperial court was about to be trained as a house cook by himself. Chu Nanzhi felt very sorry and advised: "You are busy with official duties all day long, so you don't have to do these trivial things. If you can't get used to the cooks,
Let mother cook the meals, or ask the restaurant to send some over."
"Well, today is a very special day, so my husband naturally has to prepare meals himself."
Lin Jinxiao said with a mysterious smile.
"Special day?"
Chu Nanzhi thought about it in his mind. Apart from the incident at the inn, there seemed to be nothing special about it.
I couldn't help but blush for a moment.
Lin Jinxiao added: "Yesterday, I made a good note of all the meals you cooked at the restaurant. I'll make them today for you to see and maybe you'll be satisfied."
"Have you learned how to cook so many dishes?"
Chu Nanzhi looked surprised.
Yesterday, he just stayed with me in the small courtyard of the restaurant for a long time, and he actually learned everything.
If he is not her husband, the person in this house who should be careful is not Tang Yuanxi, but this pretty boy.
Lin Jinxiao arranged her makeup and pushed her out of the house, smiling warmly: "You'll know when you come back from the school."
Chu Nanzhi originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but she saw four little guys walking over from the living room.
Erbao Lin Ruixi saw that her mother was going to the book school and couldn't help but said happily: "Mom, you have to follow Grandpa Chang and Grandpa Nie to class, otherwise Grandpa Chang will spank you if he is unhappy."
Chu Nanzhi was amused by his serious look.
Rushing to see the elders, Chu Nanzhi didn't have time to amuse the little ones, so she had to obey and replied: "If mom doesn't do well in class, grandpa often spanks her, so you also have to follow dad to review your books and practice calligraphy. That's not okay."
I'm slacking off."
"Okay, Auntie, go quickly, Grandpa Chang and Grandpa Nie are still waiting."
The little ones urged in unison.
Chu Nanzhi nodded and strode towards the book school.
The book school is closely connected to the side room. Due to its small location, the building is not spacious, but the environment is quite elegant.
As soon as I entered the school, I smelled the strong fragrance of osmanthus.
Chang Lao and Nie Lao were strolling leisurely inside, admiring the pleasant scenery around them while talking:
"This autumn rain comes at the right time this year. I hope that the seeds sown by the people will have a good harvest."
"There shouldn't be any big trouble again."
On the contrary, Nie Huaian was worried about the female disciple coming to Beijing in the near future: "I only hope that Nanzhi mother and son can return to Luyan Port before the New Year. This is Jin Xiao's first year as queen, so we still have to allow their family to be in the capital."
It’s about getting together together.”
Chang Yanjue sighed deeply: "I'm afraid the Empress Dowager has other arrangements."
"Fortunately, you and I are accompanying you to Beijing. Nan Zhi, mother and son, can't bear the great grievance."
Nie Huaian's brows stretched and he chuckled.
Seeing Chu Nanzhi coming over, the two elders immediately stopped talking, sat down one after another, looked at her with a smile and said, "Sit down quickly."
Chu Nanzhi looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she sat down obediently.
"Nan Zhi, when it comes to the etiquette in front of the palace, I can see from my observation of you these days from your handling of cases that although you have lived in the village for a long time, you have always been polite and polite. Even if you are in trouble, you are still polite.
For this reason, you and Mr. Chang will not be worried when you enter the palace to take the exam as a teacher."
Nie Huai'an brushed his sleeves, picked up the tea cup from the table, and said slowly: "And today we asked you to come alone because you have other things to entrust."
"Something else?"
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be puzzled and asked blankly: "The student is just a prostitute, I wonder what I can do for my two mentors?"
"It's a long story."
Nie Huaian looked at Chang Yanjue with a smile: "It's better for Mr. Chang to talk to the girl in detail."
"It doesn't matter. Nan Zhi is not an outsider. She is Princess Pingning now. She and Xiao'er are one and the same, sharing weal and woe. Mr. Nie said it doesn't matter. There is nothing to hide from her."
Chang Yanjue didn't want to mention the matter in person, so he asked Nie Huaian to do it.
After all, the past events were a scar in his heart.
Nie Huaian nodded solemnly, and first asked: "Nan Zhi, since the tax case, have you ever questioned Jin Xiao's rapid promotion?"
"There are doubts."
Chu Nanzhi said with a smile: "However, I am the proud disciple of the two elders. I am both good in character and learning. It is not unusual for me to reach a high position in just a few months relying on the blessings of my elders."
After a pause, she continued with a carefree smile: "Besides, the situation in the east and south is tense now, and the imperial court needs to re-enable the descendants of the Luyanggang clan and entrust heavy responsibilities to the humble husband. This matter was already discussed by Princess Shu in Tong'an Village.
Said."
"That's it?"
Nie Huaian looked at her in disbelief.
"Well, that's all."
Chu Nanzhi nodded.
"That's just a prevarication to deal with your husband."
Chang Yanjue felt that she was lying. He always felt that this girl had noticed something. Otherwise, why would she have asked Yin Erlang to help purchase war horses just after she became the princess, and would also ask Erlang from time to time to inquire about the situation in the capital.
A foreign prince's concubine is more concerned about the situation in the capital than her husband. Either she likes gossip too much, or she has some evil thoughts about Jingling City.
Obviously, this girl is not someone who likes to stir up trouble.
Squinting his eyes tightly, Chang Yanjue asked pointedly: "Nan Zhi, could it be that in the tax bank case and the Duanlongshan assassination, someone wanted to murder your husband, and you never had any doubts? He was just a man at that time.
The little official at Luyan Port has never had any grudge against anyone."
"this"
Chu Nan Zhi pretended to be embarrassed and frowned.
These two old men talk about things when they have something to do, and they insist on questioning themselves and digging holes for themselves.
She can't expose Xie Jingchen and cause trouble for herself.
