Chapter 5: Don't even think about escaping from the palm of my palace
Seeing Duan Yunyi's rare shock, Duan Yunxiu looked satisfied and said: "Sister, I have to visit him tomorrow morning to find out more about him. If he is really talented, I hope my sister can give him a chance.
"
Duan Yunyi came back to his senses and murmured to himself: "The Lanling Marquis Mansion is full of loyal people. If he is determined to serve the country and has real talent and learning, we can consider giving him an official position."
Early the next morning, Duan Yunxiu still disguised herself as a man and rushed to the Liang Mansion with her entourage.
"Why does Your Highness have to worry about a guilty minister? It's enough for him to find him..." the entourage said sadly.
Duan Yunxiu explained: "How can we take it lightly when it is hidden in the city? Nowadays, the country is undercurrent, and the emperor needs more talents to help."
"But His Highness is always so condescending..."
Before the attendant could finish speaking, he saw Duan Yunxiu put away the paper fan and quickly shut up.
Duan Yunxiu said with a smile: "Then Liang Xiao must be an expert! However, getting to know each other must be a step-by-step process! I first disguised myself as Lin Duan to commiserate with him, and then used my tragic life experience to win his favor and sympathy.
Then he tried again and again. If he is the pillar of the country and the most talented person in the world, I can naturally help him and then take the opportunity to kick him into the officialdom. It's perfect!"
The attendant behind him had sweat on his forehead and praised without conscience: "Princess, it's such a hard work! Then Liang Xiao is really lucky..."
Duan Yunxiu opened his paper fan and waved it gently, thinking of the "secret conversation" with Mu Qinxue last night, he smiled evilly.
"I'm afraid he can't imagine that I will come to him today! No matter how powerful he is, he will never escape from my grasp! How much time and energy I have invested in him now, in the future, he
You have to pay it back to me ten times and a hundred times~"
At this moment, Duan Yunxiu's self-confidence was extremely inflated, and he almost forgot who he was.
It was not until his entourage ran to knock on the door that Duan Yunxiu came back to his senses and blushed.
"I have never had such an unbalanced mentality... It's all your fault, Liang Xiao, for teasing me yesterday and almost causing me to lose control. I'll take revenge on you first!"
Recalling the guy's madness yesterday, Duan Yunxiu's mood became a little more complicated.
She also comes to match up with her sister Qin Xue...
The door of Liang Mansion opened, and she was greeted by Jiang Fuxue and a white-haired old lady.
It was her grandma.
When Jiang Fuxue saw Duan Yunxiu, she didn't dare to offend him and said quickly: "It turns out to be Mr. Lin! It's rare to see anyone here, please come inside!"
"Is your brother at home?" Duan Yunxiu asked.
"Brother is sleeping in his thatched hut..."
"Thatched cottage? Is life so difficult?" Duan Yunxiu sighed for a moment, then his expression changed, "No, it's already three o'clock in the morning, why is he still sleeping?"
"Master, he had a few drinks last night." Grandma explained, but her face could not hide her embarrassment and disappointment.
In the past two years, they and Liang Xiao have experienced the hardships of starting a business and the warmth and warmth of human relationships, but he got drunk and made mistakes...
"Sister Qin Xue will keep you under control with this drinking capacity in the future?" Duan Yunxiu snickered in his heart, but remained polite on the surface.
"It doesn't matter. Don't disturb his rest. I can wait for him to wake up."
Jiang Fuxue could not refuse, so she could only lead Duan Yunxiu to wait outside Liang Xiao's thatched cottage.
Of course she was smart and knew that this Lin Duan might become her brother's noble man.
In the past two years, there is no other high-ranking official who can be so polite to Liang Xiao!
On the way, Duan Yunxiu looked at Jiang Fuxue and grandma, becoming even more curious.
"Little sister, it seems that there was no wife named Jiang in the Lanling Marquis Mansion before. You are not your brother's cousin, right?"
Hearing the inquiry from behind, Jiang Fuxue paused, took out a few slices of chopped onions from her arms, and after shedding tears, she turned around and looked at Duan Yunxiu.
"Eh?" Duan Yunxiu couldn't help but feel pity for her when he saw her tearful eyes.
"Back then, Xue'er and her parents were chased by robbers on their way to the capital. Both parents died. It was my brother who stepped forward, defeated the robbers, and took in the homeless Xue'er. 嘤嘤嘤..."
The grandmother on the side was stunned by Jiang Fuxue's actions and couldn't believe that this was really her lady.
Duan Yunxiu quickly comforted him: "I'm sorry to mention your sadness...it turns out that he is still a hero!"
"Well~ my brother is definitely a good candidate to be a general!" Jiang Fuxue wiped her tears and said with admiration.
Duan Yunxiu looked puzzled, "Huh? A good candidate to be a general? Doesn't he have enough time to read poetry and books?"
Jiang Fuxue quickly explained: "Compared with poetry and books, my brother prefers martial arts and the art of war..."
"Oh, he actually knows martial arts..." Duan Yunxiu responded vaguely, and his heart was already filled with turmoil.
Could this man be a man of both civil and military skills? He is indeed very well hidden!
"However, with his three-legged cat skills, he must have been manipulated by sister Qinxue... He must have a few symbolic resistances to add a bit of fun!"
When he thought about the "harmonious life" that Liang Xiao and Mu Qinxue would have after their marriage in the future, Duan Yunxiu felt happy.
"That picture must be absolutely beautiful. They are truly a match made in heaven!"
The follower, who was initially doubtful, couldn't help but look at Liang Xiao with admiration after learning about Jiang Fuxue's origins.
This son seems to be both civilized and military, and even more chivalrous and gentle. Isn't he the pillar of the country that Your Majesty longs for?
He's just a little pitiful. If the princess targets him, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, it will be useless. He can be dug out even if he digs three feet into the ground...
Duan Yunxiu just sat outside Liang Xiao's thatched cottage, waiting quietly.
It wasn't until three quarters past noon that Liang Xiao finally woke up from his dream.
It was a long dream, but what I dreamed about was the memories of my life.
In a life of failure and humiliation, the only remaining warmth is Jiang Fuxue and the master who adopted him.
"I'm dreaming about the revolving lantern of life here. How can I be decadent and depressed in this life and indulge in dreams? Even if it's just for Master and Xue'er, I should do something good!"
After understanding his thoughts, Liang Xiao got up and stretched himself. If he felt something, he couldn't help but blurt it out.
"Who wakes up first from a big dream? I know it all my life. I sleep enough in the spring in the thatched cottage, and the sun gets late outside the window."
The sun is already shining brightly outside the window.
"I slept for seven or eight hours. Is it because of the amount of wine I drank? It seems that I can no longer drink low-quality wine from outside! Now the official ban on wine, private sales without permission is strictly prohibited, but it is just home-brewed wine.
If you drink it yourself, there’s nothing wrong with it!”
When Liang Xiao walked out of the thatched cottage, he was surprised again.
Duan Yunxiu sat under the tree and stared at him blankly, his face full of surprise and his eyes burning.
Jiang Fuxue and Grandma, who had read the book, looked shocked and in disbelief.
"When did Mr. Lin come?" Liang Xiao asked.
"Two hours ago." Duan Yunxiu replied.
"Xue'er, why didn't you wake me up?" Liang Xiao said depressedly.
"Brother, it's Young Master Lin. He won't let us call you, saying we can wait." Jiang Fuxue explained.
Liang Xiao had an idea, with a complicated expression. He looked at Duan Yunxiu and sighed: "I didn't expect Mr. Lin to be so courteous and polite to the corporal. Liang admires him!"
Duan Yunxiu finally smiled, feeling proud in his heart.
