Xuan Jinmo suddenly said: "That's all, put a chair next to this table and let Madam read some medical books here. Well, let's pick some of Dr. Xu's books and read them."
The meeting hall is next to the study, separated by only a wall. It is usually the place where Xuan Jinmo handles official business. No woman has ever stayed here to sit at the table. The slaves only come in to clean. To Xuan Jinmo, women are nothing but
It is a plaything and pastime.
But none of the confidants questioned it, and they quickly placed a comfortable chair with thicker cushions on it, which looked very comfortable. Someone also placed a thick medical book in front of Tong Xiaoye and made new tea.
I prepared a few snacks and put them on the corner of the table.
Tong Xiaoye said nothing, picked up the medical book, opened the first page and read slowly.
Until noon, Xuan Jinmo and Tong Xiaoye didn't say another sentence. Tong Xiaoye had been reading a book, and Xuan Jinmo had been processing documents, occasionally reading and occasionally writing some replies to be sent by his confidants. The whole process was endless.
Not impatient, even peaceful.
"Master, General Tong wants to see you for something." A close aide came in. Without looking at Tong Xiaoye, he knelt down and said to Xuan Jinmo respectfully.
But Tong Xiaoye raised his head and his eyes fell on the man kneeling on the ground from the medical book. General Tong? He should be referring to his brother Tong Huaan, right? And this visit must be related to Xuan Jincheng who returned to Beijing.
Will it not affect Xuan Jinmo?
"Are you worried about your brother?" Xuan Jinmo smiled slightly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Tong Xiaoye snorted softly, "Prince Xuan, you are really observant. I'm sorry, even if my brother couldn't find the missing Xuan Jincheng, he was just scolded for dereliction of duty, but Xuan Jincheng is your
My brother, I'm afraid your responsibility is even greater. Moreover, now that I am your wife, if my brother fails in his duties, you will also have something to do with it."
Xuan Jinmo looked at Tong Xiaoye, thought for a long time, and said calmly: "Although it doesn't sound good, it makes some sense. However, Tong Xiaoye, can you not do business like this?"
Tong Xiaoye turned his gaze back to the book with an expressionless expression.
"Come here, prepare some delicious food and wine. I want to invite cousin Hua'an who was recently promoted to Border General." Xuan Jinmo suddenly said in a good mood, "Then, dear Princess Ye, can we have lunch with you?"
Tong Xiaoye almost threw the book in his hand at Xuan Jinmo's face, his tone and expression were really not ordinary hateful!
To Tong Xiaoye's expectation, not only his brother Tong Hua'an came, but also Xuan Jinyan, Feng Dazhu who had a broken arm, and the slave Axia who looked panic-stricken. Her hands were always tangled together.
He kept twisting his clothes and seemed to be very panicked.
Xuan Jinmo was also a little surprised, but he was just slightly startled. Then he returned to his normal expression and said with a smile: "It's rare for cousin Hua'an to be in such a mood. He would bring his wife to his brother's mansion after being busy with official duties. Jin Yan, it seems
You look good."
The expression on Xuan Jin's face was a little embarrassed. It was very late last night. Her father rushed from Prince Xuan's Mansion to General Tong's Mansion overnight to find her and asked her to come forward to ask Tong Hua'an, who was responsible for hunting down her half-brother Xuan Jincheng, for the sake of her relatives.
For your sake, leave some room for your subordinates.
She had never taken the initiative to talk to Tong Hua'an, but looking at her father's worried face, she didn't know how to refuse, so she had to bite the bullet and go find Tong Hua'an, but he had been out and it was already early morning when he came back. It was rare for the two of them to be together at the same time.
Having breakfast at the table, she finally asked about Xuan Jincheng.
Tong Huaan just said calmly: "I'm going to visit my sister in a while. If you are interested, you can go together. Maybe your brother has more control over this matter than me."
Xuan Jinyan could only lower her head in silence when she heard Tong Huaan's indifferent instructions: "Axia, after dinner, help Madam clean up, and then your husband and I will go to Prince Xuan's mansion with you."
Then, Tong Huaan went out for two and a half hours. When he came back, he took them to his brother's mansion. The red lanterns in front of the door were still bright.
This was the first time she saw her brother after yesterday's wedding. At the wedding, her brother basically ignored her, and he must still be annoyed with her. However, Xuan Jincheng is not only her half-brother, but also her brother's. She
I can't bear to see my father anxious, and my brother probably can't either.
Feng Dazhu's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously covered his arm as if it was in great pain. Sweat appeared on his forehead and his body was trembling slightly.
"What's wrong with you?" Xuan Jinyan was startled. Feng Dazhu's face suddenly turned as pale as paper, with no blood at all, and there was sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Jin Yan!" Xuan Jin said quietly and indifferently, "Get down!"
This last sound was meant for Feng Dazhu and Axia, and the two of them immediately bowed their heads and retreated respectfully, almost as a reflex.
"Brother -" Xuan Jinyan blurted out dissatisfiedly. Her brother had always disliked Feng Dazhu. He said that when he realized that all eyes were on him, he subconsciously closed his mouth.
Xuan Jinmo's face was as dark as water, and he said coldly: "Jin Yan, you are getting more and more unruly. You actually let a slave follow you like this. You are not afraid of embarrassment, but don't you care about the face of cousin Quan Hua'an?! Come here, bring those two
I'm going to take a rest. We have some common things to talk about here. No one is allowed to come near without my order!"
Xuan Jinyan lowered her head, her heart beating wildly. She always forgot that Feng Dazhu's mother was the one who poisoned her mother's tea, and she never remembered that he was the one who killed her mother's blood! However, she was confused and confused when she learned the news.
Angry, but she couldn't let her forget Feng Dazhu's company for ten years.
She always remembered that no matter what happened to her, he was always there. It was him who gave her the courage to live. Even though he was so ordinary, he was always her warmest memory.
Tong Xiaoye suddenly smiled and said lightly: "My aunt said that the man with a broken arm is a slave who has been protecting my sister-in-law since she was six years old. These ten years are not a short time, I'm afraid it will be better than your elder brother.
It will take longer, my aunt said. In the past ten years, you have spent most of your time guarding the tomb of your mother-in-law, and then joined the court to be busy. Only this slave has been guarding it."
Xuan Jin remained silent, glanced at Xuan Jinyan, who was bowing his head silently, and Tong Huaan, who had always had a calm expression, and said calmly: "This is his duty as a slave, but a slave is a slave. In the past ten years, he has
He has become an out-and-out slave, and now that he has a wife, he should concentrate on guarding his wife."
Xuan Jinyan didn't look up for a long time, tears quietly dripping on the back of her hands.
"That's right, this slave has been with my sister-in-law for ten years and fulfilled his duty, but my sister-in-law and my brother have been accompanying each other for decades, right, sister-in-law?" Tong Xiaoye said with a smile, "After all, my brother has been waiting for me for ten years.
, it’s really not easy to trade for decades.”
Xuan Jinyan's body trembled slightly and she was speechless for a long time.
