Turning around, I saw Xu Miao sitting in front of the dressing table, looking exhausted.
"Madam," Nanny Xia came up behind her and comforted her softly, "I know you feel uncomfortable, but you have to cheer up. The young master is young and ridiculous, but fortunately he can still listen to what you and the master say." Xu Miao shook her head and said softly: "That's not what I was thinking about."
Aunt Xia was slightly startled when she heard this: "Then you..."
"Mom, I feel very unsure," Xu Miao subconsciously grabbed Nanny Xia's hand, her voice trembling, "What will I do if one day, Master, Xun'er, they and A Jian have a conflict?
What?"
Grandma Xia's heart was pounding.
"How could it be?"
These four words came out of my mouth.
Seeing Xu Miao's solemn expression, Grandma Xia hesitated again and again and said: "If there is a conflict, what I want is to help whoever is right. We are all relatives connected by blood, so we can't sit down and talk about the truth."
?"
That’s what she said, but the more Granny Xia said it, the less she believed it.
How can there be complete right and wrong in things in this world?
And the most unclear thing about right and wrong is housework.
Even honest officials are hard to judge!
Precisely because they are relatives, I can't hold back the long arguments, and the knot in my heart becomes deeper and deeper.
Aunt Xia knows these reasons clearly.
But what could she say?
She could only persuade Madam in this way.
Aunt Xia took out the hand held by Xu Miao and gently pressed her forehead.
"You just think too much for a moment."
"A conflict? What kind of conflict can there be? After thinking about it, I think it may only be a conflict in the court."
"It can only be said that people have different political opinions and have their own ideas."
"Whether it's Duke Fu or Master, if there are differences in political opinions, there is no need to convince the other party. Whoever can convince the Holy One will do so."
"There's nothing left to say about your horoscope. You're too worried about it. If you fall ill, it won't be worth it."
"When you go back to sleep later, you will feel much more comfortable."
Xu Miao sighed again.
She wanted to tell Aunt Xia about her bizarre dreams, but as soon as the words came to her lips, she felt that they were all dreams.
It’s so ridiculous to use a dream as an arrow.
After hesitating, Xu Miao said: "Everyone in this family hides many things from us.
I think it’s all my master’s orders. I don’t want me to worry about those things.
I don’t want to embarrass others. I don’t have to put them in the middle and be in a dilemma. It’s better for my mother to listen and watch more.
If there is anything going on outside, mom should tell me earlier.
It’s better to be prepared in my mind than to be caught off guard.”
Aunt Xia naturally agreed to her.
The two of them were talking in a low voice when someone called from outside, saying that Liu Ping was here.
"I have wanted to come over to say hello. They said that your father called my brother to lecture you." Liu Ping sat down next to Xu Miao. "What did your brother do to make you unhappy so early in the morning? I saw your complexion.
Didn't you sleep well at night?"
Xu Miao didn't want her daughter to hear about the messy things outside.
But thinking about the feeling of being kept in the dark, she still said it.
Liu Ping was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.
Raise an outside room?
Fraud?
Is this something that could happen to their Liu family?
But this happened clearly.
The most terrifying thing is that she didn't hear anything about it, and her mother only found out about it yesterday.
This...
"How could they do this?"
It's unclear whether it was because he felt aggrieved or unwilling to accept it, because Liu Ping's vision was blurred.
Seeing this, Xu Miao quickly hugged Liu Ping and comforted her.
Mother and daughter talked a lot.
Liu Ping calmed down a lot. Seeing that her mother was tired, she asked her to lie down and rest while she sat by the couch and lost herself in thought.
Xu Shizhen was too tired. Xu Miao closed her eyes and rested, breathing gradually longer.
Liu Ping stood up gently, said something to Aunt Xia, and left first.
Seeing Liu Ping's dejected look, Grandma Xia felt pain in her heart.
I originally wanted to give a few words of advice, but then I thought about it. Miss Ping has a gentle and introverted temperament and is not a person who can get into trouble, so I gave up.
Liu Ping is indeed shy.
She walked outside Liu Xun's study, thought about it over and over, but didn't go in.
I called a sedan and went out. When I arrived outside Shuixian Alley, I was in a dilemma again.
It seems bad to knock on the door.
I went back home, but I was unwilling to do so.
While hesitating, Liu Ping happened to see a young woman through the sedan curtain.
She had never seen Yue Niang, but almost instantly, she could identify that it was "Yue Niang".
That indescribably soft look is the image of an "outer room" in Liu Ping's mind.
She stared at it steadily for several times until Yue Niang left her sight.
As the sedan curtain fell, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
Deja vu.
Especially the tear mole...
Liu Ping suddenly remembered.
Before noon.
Xu Miao woke up.
Returning to the cage didn't make her feel better, but instead made her head swell and painful.
Liu Ping came back just in time and whispered to her about his discovery.
"She looks a bit like the sister we met at Fa'an Temple once. I remember her last name is Jin."
Xu Miao lowered her eyes and tried hard to recall the girl she met by chance in Fa'an Temple that day.
She didn't have a deep impression of people she had only met once. Fortunately, Liu Ping helped her think about it, so she vaguely remembered it.
Why do you have to work so hard to remember?
Xu Miao actually couldn’t explain the reason.
I just subconsciously feel that this matter is important.
She had to remember it first and keep it in her heart.
Liu Xun has been a good son at home for two days.
On the night of Shangyuan, he couldn't bear it anymore and went to Shuixian Alley.
In front of Yue Niang, Liu Xun did not talk about the nonsense about "fighting with the candidates", but truthfully said "the prince's kick was really cruel".
Yue Niang felt cold sweat break out on the back of her neck.
That prince is really unreasonable and arrogant. A young man from an official family will kick him whenever he wants.
"Master, why is the prince giving you a hard time?" Yue Niang asked.
Liu Xun couldn't help but be speechless.
What did this make him say?
Said that he wanted to tie up someone similar to you, Yue Niang, for the prince, but something went wrong with the guard who took action?
He didn't dare to say it, so he just said vaguely: "There are some contradictions..."
Yue Niang's heart sank.
The young master can only nod his head in front of His Royal Highness.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
There can be no contradiction in nodding, unless you shake your head.
What did the young master reject?
Suddenly, Yueniang remembered the prince's eyes on her that day.
She once told Liu Xun, and she was also telling herself that the prince looked down upon her.
She has been with the young master for so long, how could His Highness...
But what if His Highness is such a bastard?
The young master rejected His Highness for this reason, so he was kicked?
Then didn’t she harm the young master?
The full moon hangs in the sky until dawn.
When the time comes, the courtiers step up to the Golden Palace.
The Holy Emperor listened to the officials talking about major and minor matters. After retreating from the court, he called Li Shao and Xu Jian to the Imperial Study Room.
"I will go to the Ministry of Rites today to observe the government. I want to see more," the Holy Master said in a deep voice, "Have you thought about where to start?"
Li Shao felt guilty.
Xu Jian walked past him and answered a few sentences: "The Ministry of Rites will be busy with envoys after the new year, and they must also cooperate with Honglu Temple to prepare for the reception of the Gu Yue envoy. The rest of the affairs will go according to plan. I will accompany His Highness to the Ministry of Rites and not cause trouble with the officials. They have done this."
Wherever you go, you will see it."
"Yes, that's what Duke Fuguo said." Li Shao heard this and hurriedly answered, "This is my first time to observe government affairs. I am a stupid young man. I must not cause trouble to the Yamen below."
Sheng looked at the two of them and didn't correct him.
After saying a few more words, he asked Xu Jian to leave first, leaving Li Shao to give more instructions.
"I heard that the guard next to you has been changed?" the saint asked.
Li Shao pursed his lower lip.
At this point, he was well prepared.
What about "he ran away with a lot of gambling debt", that was Qian Hu and Liu Xun who came to him to report. The real situation is probably that the kidnapping was accidentally kidnapped, and he didn't know which ravine he was buried in.
He deserves to be buried. He is thief-minded and incompetent. He just adds trouble to him.
Li Shao will definitely not go to Geng Baoyuan again with great fanfare, and let Qian Hu use this reason and some money to send the Geng family's father out of Beijing, and forget about it.
As for the obvious...
Li Shao said: "His father was in poor health and wanted to return to his hometown to take care of himself, so he submitted his resignation letter, which was approved by his son."
This reason is very good and natural.
The Holy Father has heard this, but his mind is still on observing politics.
"If you don't understand something, ask Xu Jian, or wait for the officials to ask a few questions when they are free," he explained, "or write it down and come back and ask me."
Li Shao agreed.
When he came out of the Imperial Study Room, the cold wind blew, and Li Shao's tense shoulders relaxed a little.
Father, it’s true that you ask so many questions.
Fortunately, Xu Jian came to the rescue just now...
Rescue?
Turning his head, Li Shao glanced at Xu Jian standing in the corridor, and suddenly there was a buzz in his head?
OK!
That's called a rescue?!
That's called settling old scores!
Xu Jian was clearly reminding him that he "added to the chaos" when he returned to Yuguan for the first time.
But he didn't realize it just now, and he actually followed Xu Jian's words and called himself a "silly young man"!
Xu Jian, thanks to him being so grateful just now, who knew he had a knife hidden in his sleeve!
The more Li Shao thought about it, the angrier he became. He flicked his sleeves and strode out.
Xu Jian looked at Li Shao's back and followed him up.
The prince may not be able to understand good words, but those who scold him are quite perceptive.
It’s not in vain that he deliberately seeks trouble.
Li Shao went to the Ministry of Rites holding his anger, but naturally he didn't have much good intentions.
However, the entire yamen was so busy that only one of the doctors responsible for guiding Li Shao selected some documents and sent them over for His Highness to look through first.
Li Shao read it and read it. Sangu taught him carefully for many years. He didn't understand it, but it was very boring.
Watching politics seems less exciting than listening to lectures by three old men.
It was finally time to get to the lower office, but the rites department, from the minister to the secretary, no one had the intention to pack up and go home, they were still busy with their own affairs.
Li Shao sat there for a while, feeling extremely bored.
"Aren't you hungry?" he asked Xu Jian.
Xu Jian was writing something when he heard the words: "I'm fine, your highness. If you are hungry, you might as well go and fill your stomach first. I see that the adults will be busy for an hour or two. Your highness will come back after filling your stomach."<
/p>
This is quite pleasant.
Li Shao left and found a restaurant near Qianbu Corridor, where he had a good meal and a drink.
After several reminders from the chamberlain, he returned to the Ministry of Etiquette.
The lights are still brightly lit in the Yamen.
When Feng Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites heard that Li Shao was back, he came to ask a few questions: "Your Highness, what are your opinions and thoughts on the government today..."
Li Shao interrupted him: "I see that you are all busy, so let's forget about my opinions for now. I'll think about it again and wait until you are all busy for a while."
After hearing what he said, Feng Shangshu agreed obediently.
After seeing off Li Shao and Xu Jian, the Ministry of Rites still burned the midnight oil to fight.
Just a quarter of an hour later, Shenchen delivered two large food boxes.
"I know you have worked hard, and Your Highness asked you to send this," he handed it to Feng Shangshu. "No matter how busy you are, you still need to take a few bites."
Feng Shangshu stroked his beard and agreed happily.
He is not stupid, this is definitely not a gift from His Highness, but from the Duke Fuguo.
His Highness, with his noble status, can think of some human connections and sophistication, and the people below him will be considerate, but even if he can't think of it, it's not surprising.
Naturally, there is someone around you who should handle this for His Highness.
The Holy One asked Duke Fu to follow him. In addition to giving guidance to His Highness, he also took care of trivial matters.
Having said that, preparing some food for them is not one of those trivial matters.
It is unusual for the chamberlain around His Highness not to have thought of this.
To put it bluntly, it is to assist the Duke Zhouquan.
Seeing that His Highness returned to the Yamen empty-handed, he sent someone else to prepare some.
After all, we are all ministers, and only ministers understand their hearts!
It's no wonder that Shan Shen always praised him a lot in private, saying that even though Duke Fuguo looked like he was just waiting to have fun when he went to court, he knew it well.
However, Feng Shangshu felt that people who don't understand clearly can't even understand it.
Fu Guo Gong looked back very clearly. Could he be a confused person?
On the other side, Xu Jian kept sending Li Shao outside the palace gate.
Li Shao wanted to run away in frustration, but after looking at the dark sky, he gave up.
Feeling uncomfortable, he wanted to find something to do: "What did you just tell someone to do?"
Xu Jian replied: "Ask him to send some food to the Ministry of Rites, saying that it was sent by His Highness."
Li Shao's lips twitched: "You are so generous."
Officials have salaries.
Just buy it yourself when you're hungry.
He is in the Ministry of Rites observing politics, why should he care more about their meal?
"You make your own decision, don't ask me for money." Li Shao said.
He is not short of money, but this is not a matter of money.
But Xu Jian is a person who has many things and troubles, one after another!
After the morning meeting the next day, Li Shao once again knew how much trouble Xu Jian could cause.
Xu Jian asked Eunuch Cao to hand over a piece of information to the Holy Master. The superior carefully explained yesterday's government affairs, what he saw and what he did, everything was detailed.
The Holy Spirit came up and asked him: "What did you write?"
Li Shao didn't write a word, so he could only bite the bullet and talk about the documents he read yesterday.
The Holy Sage said: "If there is something to say, then write it down. You can read it again later, or you can give it to Sangu for judgment."
Li Shao could only agree.
For the next half month, every morning, Xu Jian handed in one, and Li Shao also had to hand in one.
Xu Jian deliberately made it longer, but Li Shao was angry and helpless, so he could only write a few more sentences as much as possible.
In the royal study, Eunuch Cao sorted out everything he had collected in the past half month and handed it over to the Holy One for review.
The Holy Emperor looked back and forth and sighed: "Xu Jian's idea is better. From what Shao'er wrote, it seems that I am accompanying him to observe the government."
In the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, Li Shao gave Xu Jian a hard look with his sinister eyes.
