C74 (1/2)
He was a fourth rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which was definitely an unexpected surprise. Even the second branch had also restrained a lot of their income, and Lady Xue was no longer upset about living in the side courtyard. She spent the whole day with a smile on her face.
Although the second son of the Xue Clan, Xue Xiangrong, was already a fourth rank official, how could he be more important than the position of Assistant Minister of the Department of Revenue? Xue came to help manage the Ministry of Revenue, which made him a close servant to the Son of Heaven.
These days, a few people from the Xue Clan's main house sat around the table and ate their meals, talking about the matter of the son of a noble following the army.
Xue Qingyun's calligraphy was Ming Rui. ”All of Han Lin's colleagues want to go. Your son thinks it's pretty good.”
Lady Xue, who was personally taking care of her granddaughter's meal, gave him a furious glare upon hearing his words.
”Your father and I have been out for so many years, and we have only been back for a few days. You don't need to think about your filial piety, and you want to go out?
Even if it wasn't for us, that's why your wife got pregnant. She was weak to begin with, and as her husband, instead of taking care of her by her side, you wanted to get out … ”
Xue Mingrui smiled wryly. He knew that his mother would start blabbering before he even said anything.
Ever since his younger brother was born, his mother had always been especially concerned with him because he was weak. She was afraid that something might happen to him, but she had always been obedient to her younger brother.
Xue Duanjing, on the other hand, did not say anything. To him, the family didn't have many days to sit around and eat together. It was very warm and precious.
Xue Chaoyun didn't say anything. He didn't like to go out, and he didn't like to hang out with a lot of people. It would be better to travel alone with the army.
Since Xue Mingrui didn't have any supporters, this meal was one thing.
A few days later, Ru Yi called Zhou Xuan over and gave him a bag. ”Give him an hour when there's no one around.”
Zhou Xuan asked, ”Does Your Highness have any words to convey?”
Ru Yi shook her head. She wanted to write a letter, but she didn't know what to say. She was also afraid that she would forget these things when she got busy.
Zhou Xuan chose an hour to arrive at Xue Shaoyun's residence. Just as he landed in the room, Xue Qianyun woke up. Zhou Xuan thought to himself, so it turns out that this little young master was also very vigilant. Then he thought that if it was Jun Ruye who came, it might not alarm anyone … It was a painful realization.
His eyes adjusted to the darkness and recognized Zhou Xuan. Luckily, the room was very narrow, so the servants all went to sleep in the rooms next door. There were no outsiders in his room, otherwise, something might have happened.
Zhou Xuan grabbed his bag and walked it over. ”His Highness told me to give it to you.”
He had asked around, apart from his good looks, there was nothing special about Xue Qiuyun, his family members were all ordinary. Although the Patriarch Xue Xianjing was promoted to Assistant Minister of Revenue, he was still not comparable to Xue Qiujing, the former vice commander of Eastern Palace. He did not know how the Great Princess knew Xue Qiuyi …
She opened the book and saw that it was a dozen books. She was looking at the titles, and it seemed to be some sort of internal force manual. She thought of the sword manual she had given him last time and found it funny, didn't she know that martial arts couldn't be practiced randomly?
Zhou Xuan saw the doubt in Xue Chao Yun's eyes. In fact, he was puzzled as well, but he dutifully said, ”Your Highness only wants me to give you the item.” That is to say, there was nothing else for him to say.
”I want to see her.” He could not help but hold onto a large piece of money beside the pillow.
”The palace guards are very tight. I need to report this to His Highness first, then make some arrangements.” Seeing that he had nodded his head, he let out a sigh of relief. If the customer strongly requested this, as His Highness' subordinate, he really had no reason to refuse.
The next day, Zhou Xuan saw Ru Yi and passed on the meaning of Xue Li Yun's words.
”Then let's meet up. Make the arrangements.” Ru Yi asked Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan said, ”Your Highness might as well avoid Commander Jun and find a place to meet him. If you are met by others, it can be considered a coincidence.”
If Zhou Xuan had any opinions, then Zhou Xuan's eyes lit up. She hadn't paid much attention to the opinions of others, but perhaps Zhou Xuan's gossiping was too dazzling that she couldn't help but explain to him, ”I treat him as a little brother …”
The imperial concubine …
Zhou Xuan nodded. ”This subordinate will go and prepare.” He had a 'I completely understand, I completely understand, I completely understand' look on his face.
Ru Yi couldn't help but support her forehead. When she grew up, her worries would be that everyone would see who she was to and thus, her eyes would shine. It would cause her to secretly hide when she saw her cousin. As for Jiang Muli, it wasn't all his fault. Every time something touched him, Royal Father would act as if he was facing a great enemy, scaring her to the core and making her feel guilty.
The weather these days was very hot, and there were fewer people hunting in the forest garden.
Zhou Xuan took out a set of tea set from somewhere and Ru Yi poured two cups. When she saw the clear water inside, she couldn't help but smile.
Xue Xianyun was wearing a plain white shirt. The wind blew through the forest, lifting up his clothes and taking advantage of his impeccable jade face as if he was riding the wind. Suddenly, he thought of something, ”The capital is at least a thousand zhang away.”
