Huang Shaoyu's visit to the palace this time was probably because of Ji Yunwei.
At this time, seeing Lu Yunhong taking the initiative to ask, he sighed: "Don't say it, I came here this time for Ji Shangshu's sake. Ji Yunwei seemed to have been a little bit shocked. He went to the theater after work all day long.
Not even going back to Jifu."
"Old Minister is old and can't take care of him. He said that he would like you to return to Beijing and take care of him."
"Besides, it seems that Pei Shan is going to be promoted to minister. The emperor personally promoted him. If you, a master, don't go back, isn't it obvious that the emperor has no vision?"
Lu Yunhong put down the small basket of cherries and prepared to wash his hands and take Huang Shaoyu to drink tea.
But as soon as he walked over, he saw Song Muting carrying a small basket, combing his hair, and left impatiently. From the beginning to the end, it seemed as if he hadn't seen him?
Lu Yunhong asked suspiciously: "Where is he going?"
Huang Shaoyu looked in the direction and said, "Are you going to the palace?"
Lu Yunhong frowned, his eyes fell on the basket Song Muting was carrying, and asked: "What is he carrying?"
Huang Shaoyu smiled and said: "The butter cakes I bought on the road are very delicious. I should bring them to the two ladies in my house."
Lu Yunhong sneered coldly: "I'm showing my courtesy for nothing."
Huang Shaoyu smiled, washed his hands, and prepared to take a few cherries to eat.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yunhong handed it to the servant and told him to put it away. The corner of Huang Shaoyu's mouth twitched and he said speechlessly: "Are you worried?"
Lu Yunhong said: "I picked it. If you want to eat it, pick it yourself."
Huang Shaoyu: "..."
"The Jinling case has been settled. It was two servants from Prince An's palace who stole paintings to sell in the middle of the night and accidentally knocked over the oil lamp. The confessions from everyone in Prince An's palace were unanimous. The newly appointed prefect and I went to see Prince An. Guess what?"
Lu Yunhong said: "What's the matter? It's ugly, ugly?"
Huang Shaoyu said disgustedly: "That's not all, he looks really ferocious. Envoy Sun also said that King An's injuries may make it difficult for him to walk in the future. The emperor has already issued an order for him to return to the capital."
If King An is not dead, he will definitely return to Beijing. Lu Yunhong has already guessed it.
He asked: "The new prefect of Jinling is Zhou Xu, right?"
Huang Shaoyu said in surprise: "Your guess is accurate, but maybe you have received the news a long time ago. Because of the arson incident in Prince An's Mansion, the new prefect of Jinling has always been a mystery. Those who are related to the family dare not take it, and those who have nothing to do want to do it again and again.
No. I don’t know what the emperor thought, so I gave it to Zhou Xu.”
Lu Yunhong sneered, what else could that be? It was just that Emperor Shunyuan secretly inquired about Zhou Xu to see if he had really returned to Wuxi. He was sure that he had nothing to do with the fire in Jinling, so Zhou Xu was promoted.
By the way, two people are now called to urge the couple to return to Beijing.
But this also showed in disguise that King An did not complain. Lu Yunhong smiled, this was getting more and more interesting.
I don’t know if he wants to trick him back to the capital to settle the score, or if King An thinks he has the leverage to do something about it? But things in this world are not always done as he wants. He wants to see,
What else does King An have planned?
"Go back to Beijing! Go back tomorrow!"
Lu Yunhong finished speaking domineeringly, his eyes sharp and clear, magnanimous and fearless.
Huang Shaoyu didn't know the inside story, but she was happy for him and said, "I've heard all about it. Mr. Xu wants to recommend you to the Ministry of Etiquette."
"Sixth Ministry, you have already been in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Personnel. If you enter the Ministry of Rites, your next step will be to become one of the Nine Ministers."
Lu Yunhong rolled up his sleeves and said calmly: "It's just Jiu Qing."
He had done all the three things, so he didn't care about the rest. But he didn't know that the corner of Huang Shaoyu's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to slap him. He spent half his life and the whole family's efforts to get the position of the Minister of Dali Temple, and he happened to be in Jiu
What about the ranks of ministers?
This Lu Yunhong is simply arrogant.
Having said that, Huang Shaoyu took a closer look at Lu Yunhong and found that his expression was bright, his eyes were clear, and he had a noble and extraordinary temperament all over his body. He was really a young talent. It is no wonder that he was ambitious, even among Jiu Qing.
Not even the columns are appreciated.
As everyone knows, Lu Yunhong is just tired of it.
…
In the garden of the palace, the fragrant smell is sometimes strong and sometimes light.
Lu Yunyuan lowered her head to do needlework and didn't notice that her sister had gone far. When she heard the footsteps, she said with a smile: "Did you pounce?"
Song Muting stood not far away, his eyes warm and said: "It's me."
Lu Yunyuan was startled, and quickly raised her head, seeing that it was Song Muting, she was momentarily panicked. But her originally fair face suddenly turned red, like the morning glow.
Perhaps because he was afraid of being too abrupt and frightening Lu Yunyuan, Song Muting did not approach, but placed the basket on the stone table in the garden and said slowly: "I told Manager Qiao that I just came in to deliver something.
I'll be out soon."
"This is the butter cake I ate while resting at the inn today. I thought it was pretty good, so I brought some for you to try."
Lu Yunyuan stood up and wanted to ask Song Muting to sit down, but found that this place was quite inappropriate.
She thought for a while, then plucked up the courage and said, "Brother Song, why don't we go back to the villa and I'll make you tea."
Song Muting smiled and said: "That's the best. I didn't feel like I was on the road just now, but now I am indeed thirsty."
Lu Yunyuan saw his tired appearance and didn't seem to have time to change clothes. It can be seen that he came over with butter cakes as soon as he arrived. She didn't know why he was in such a hurry?
Her heart was beating very fast. She lowered her head and came forward with the needle and thread, trying to help carry the basket as she usually did when entertaining guests.
But she never thought that Song Muting took it in her hand first and said, "I'll do it. I'm sorry that you took it."
Lu Yunyuan looked up at him and saw a hint of shyness on his handsome features. When he lowered his head, he looked over impartially.
Lu Yunyuan felt her breathing was stagnant and said quickly: "Let's go."
Song Muting nodded slightly and turned sideways to let her walk in front.
This inadvertent move made Lu Yunyuan's eyelashes tremble slightly, and a smile flowed in her eyes. Soon, the two people went out along the gravel path in the garden.
Under the cool shade of the trees, two people stood in front of each other. The man was tall and tall, and the woman was delicate. They spoke softly and smiled sweetly. They were an indescribably perfect match.
Among the flowers, Wang Xiu looked at the eldest princess beside him and asked seriously: "Why are you pinching me?"
The eldest princess had a smile on her face: "I'm just telling you, there will definitely be fun!"
Wang Xiu smiled and continued to ask: "If there is a show, there will be a show. You haven't said it yet, why are you pinching me?"
The eldest princess glared at her and said coquettishly: "Can't I be excited? It's been a long time since I saw a flower-like girl choose a husband, and I think Song Muting is good."
"Their family seems to be quite wealthy. Now that Song Muting is an official again, it's not too bad."
Wang Xiudao: "These are secondary. The main thing is that Song Muting is the eldest grandson. I'm afraid that the burden on Yunyuan's shoulders will be heavy in the future, and I will have to think about it again."
The eldest princess slapped Wang Xiu on the shoulder and said angrily: "You are a talented man and a beautiful woman, what do you think of? Lu Yunhong is not the eldest son? You are not the eldest daughter-in-law? Who can control you anymore?"
"Don't say that the Wang family has a great business, and you are promising. After giving birth to a son, your back is straight. Even if the sky falls, won't I still be by your side to support it? When will you need to work hard?
"
Wang Xiu thought for a while and said with a naive smile: "Then I seem to be living quite comfortably, right?"
