"Yes!" Among the crowd, Chen Ning was the first to clasp his fists in agreement.
Now that they have decided to accept the young lady as their master, they will obey the orders.
Branches of Baicaotang are spread all over the world. In addition to doing business on weekdays, they also help those in need during disasters. They are also the intelligence station of the Red Blood Legion.
Ordinary organizations and the imperial court would only focus on places like brothels and restaurants where it is easy to pry for information.
But they will ignore the medical center, where it is easiest to gather important information——
After all, as long as someone is injured or poisoned, there will always be a need for doctors and medical clinics!
After sending Chen Ning and others away, Ming Lanruo looked at Chunming and said, "Prepare some gifts and send my invitation to Mr. Xu, the Minister of Dali Temple. In two days, we will go to Mr. Xu's house to meet Xiuyi and the others.
"
Princess Yuanjia, as the leader of the clan, was executed by Ling Chi. She offended many people in the clan, so she naturally had to unite other forces that could be united.
Chunming immediately nodded in agreement.
In the blink of an eye, two days later, on the first day of May, Ming Lanruo changed into a green jacket and led Chunming and Jinghe to the Xu Mansion.
The post was addressed to Xu Xiuyi, so she simply invited a group of little sisters who played well with her to play with flying flowers in her garden, and to drink water from the meandering water.
Ming Lanruo leaned on the edge of the bamboo pavilion and looked at the garden of Xu Mansion. The girls were laughing, writing poems, and flying kites. The years were peaceful.
She sighed: "I haven't seen such a scene for a long time."
"Sister Ming, why don't you go down and play with the other sisters? Those sisters all admire my sister very much. They are definitely not shallow-sighted and conservative people." Xu Xiuyi smiled and led the girls up with snacks and tea.
If Minglan doesn't go to play, she will receive him alone.
Ming Lanruo smiled faintly: "Of course girls who can be friends with Xiuyi are good, but my heart is old and the things I like now are boring, so I won't spoil the interests of the sisters."
She was also the one who took the lead in these poetry and song receptions back then, but now she no longer has such interest.
"If Concubine Ming grows old, then I will be buried." A middle-aged male voice said with a calm smile.
Xu Xiuyi immediately stood up and saluted: "Dad."
Mr. Xu touched the beard on his chin and looked at his only legitimate daughter with a smile: "Xiuyi, go and receive your little sister. My father is looking at Feiyan, who is also below."
Xu Xiuyi nodded with understanding: "Yes."
She turned around and handed the tea she had made herself to Ming Lanruo, with bright eyes filled with undisguised envy: "I envy Sister Ming for being so 'boring'."
Ming Lanruo, who was able to make her father go out of his way to ignore the difference between men and women, come to visit him in person, and interact with him as equals and peers, had abilities and skills that were beyond her reach.
She blessed her, turned around and left with her maids.
Ming Lanruo watched Xu Xiuyi leave: "Master Xu, not only can you raise your son, but you can also raise your daughter very well."
The three sons and one daughter of the Xu family are all well-known. At a young age, the three sons are either candidates or Jinshi. They really come from a scholarly and noble family.
Mr. Xu smiled: "My little girl is a little impatient. She is still far behind Concubine Ming, who has been dormant for five years and became a blockbuster. If Duke Ming can return safely, he will be very happy."
Ming Lanruo paused while holding the tea cup and raised her bright eyes to look at Mr. Xu: "It seems that something happened to my father...the court already knows about it."
Mr. Xu sighed: "Dali Temple has received the news, and His Majesty also knows it. However, according to the external news, the people in Dongchang have launched a comprehensive investigation. I believe you should know."
Ming Lanruo paused and found out that Cang Qiao had known the news for a long time and had begun to investigate.
She closed her eyes and did not deny it. After all, Cang Qiao was her "uncle" and it was known to both the government and the public.
She lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly: "I just hope that my father can return safely, but now, there is no news in Northeast Xinjiang. I heard that it is May, and there are some places where heavy snow has closed the mountains, and there is no news at all."
Mr. Xu looked at her, thinking that if he disappeared, his girl would probably toss and turn, and he was worried. This chapter has been completed!
