Chapter 217

As for living here recently, there are many disaster victims outside, and it is not safe for the girl's family to be outside alone.

"It's all voluntary."

Seeing that Master Jiu wouldn't let her do this, Sun Qiaoer hurriedly explained.

"It's good enough to stay here to eat enough and dress well. If I don't do something, I won't feel at ease."

As if she was afraid that Lord Jiu would refuse, Sun Qiaoer continued.

"That's up to you!"

Master Jiu ignored Sun Qiaoer, picked up the medicine bowl, and drank it in one gulp, then frowned bitterly.

The bitter taste immediately reminded Master Jiu of Shi Yun. The last time Master Jiu drank the medicine, he drank the medicine with Shi Yun when he was still on the board. At that time, Master Jiu could still act coquettishly with Shi Yun because of the bitterness of the medicine , Shi Yun felt sorry for Master Jiu, so he also drank medicine with Master Jiu.

It's just that counting the time now, Lord Jiu hasn't seen Shi Yun for more than three months, and he doesn't know if she is obedient or not, and he is not willful and picky.

Probably not, after all her mother was watching.

It's just that, in order to find him, this little woman paid half of her worth, so I'm afraid it will be very distressing.

Thinking of this, Master Jiu laughed, and made up his mind that when he went back, he would give Shi Yun some good things and rush to her small coffers.

And Sun Qiaoer, who was standing by, also saw the smile on the corner of Master Jiu's mouth.

She was slightly stunned for a moment, it was the first time she saw a man smiling so nicely.

It's been a long time since she came here, but it was the first time she saw Master Jiu smile. If this smile was directed at her, it would be great!

But Master Jiu, who has bowed his head to deal with political affairs, doesn't know what Sun Qiaoer is thinking.

Because Master Jiu didn't ask Sun Qiaoer to go out, Sun Qiaoer simply stayed by his side and didn't leave.

When Thirteenth Master and Liu Chen came in, they saw Sun Qiaoer smiling at Jiuye.

The two of them are not young people who are ignorant of the world, so they both understand in their hearts that this person probably has Master Jiu in his heart.

It's just that this matter shouldn't be discussed between the two of them.

"coming!"

Sensing something strange at the door, Master Jiu raised his eyes from the desk.

"But my younger brother disturbed Brother Jiu!"

It's not that the Thirteenth Master is making fun of the Ninth Master, but a man and a woman in the room, making it difficult for anyone to think about it.

"Ok?"

Master Jiu was a little puzzled until he saw Sun Qiaoer beside him.

Master Jiu understood immediately.

"The king has something to tell the Thirteenth Master and the others, and please ask Miss Sun to go back first."

Master Jiu frowned, but his tone was still polite.

"Oh well!"

Sun Qiaoer blushed, then picked up the medicine bowl at the side, lowered her head, and trotted away.

Regarding this matter, Master Jiu didn't take it to heart, but said to Master Thirteen.

"My health is almost better now. Shisan will accompany me out to have a look later. Liu Chen, keep watching and tell them to dredge the river as soon as possible."

Just now when I thought of Shi Yun, calling Jiuye was even more like an arrow, and I didn't want to delay for a moment.

"Brother Jiu is really all right?"

The Thirteenth Master frowned slightly, the matter of the Yellow River could not be completed in a day, so there was no rush for this day.

"Ok!"

As he said, Master Jiu put away the things in his hand, got up and left first.

Seeing this, the two had no choice but to keep up.

After leaving the yamen, Master Jiu originally planned to go to the river, but after thinking about it, he went in the opposite direction.

"Laixi, you ask someone to buy a yard nearby. It doesn't need to be too big, it's enough for one person to live in."

Master Jiu didn't forget about Sun Qiao'er, he asked her to move in after it was finished, so she wouldn't just hang around in front of his eyes all day long.

"Hey."

Laixi didn't ask any questions, and just answered casually.

Afterwards, Master Jiu took Master Thirteen around.

It is now a month since the Yellow River burst its embankment.

Although there are still disaster victims everywhere in the city, most of the shops on the street can already operate normally.

This is what Master Jiu wants to see.

"Go and sit there."

When he walked to a teahouse, Master Jiu stopped suddenly.

He walked in with Master Thirteen, found a better seat, and the two sat down.

"The imperial court controls the water every year, so it's not like there's a flood now."

Sitting at a table opposite Master Jiu, there were four men who looked to be in their twenties or thirties.

One of the men in the green shirt said slightly dissatisfied.

Upon hearing this, Master Thirteen was not happy, and just as he wanted to get up, he was held back by Master Jiu.

"Ninth brother?"

Thirteenth Master was puzzled.

"Listen before you speak."

Ninth Master gave Thirteenth Master a look of peace and calmness. Seeing this, Thirteenth Master could only be patient and listen to the words of the people on the opposite side.

"You can't say that! The court has also attached great importance to it, and even the ninth elder brother has been sent here. I heard that the ninth elder brother fell into the water before."

There was a man in white shirt sitting opposite the man in blue shirt, and he somewhat disagreed with what the man in blue shirt said.

"What's the use of Nine Brothers coming? Even if the emperor is here, it's important to be able to control the flood."

The man in the green shirt sneered.

"Brother Nine, my younger brother can't take it anymore."

The Thirteenth Lord is not a violent temper, but because of these words, he really couldn't help it.

It's okay to talk about the prince, but if you talk about the emperor, you will be beheaded.

"Ok!"

Master Jiu couldn't stand it any longer.

But before Master Thirteen could speak, on the opposite table, the man in blue who had been silent all this time suddenly said:
"The prince and the emperor are all human beings, not gods. If you have the ability, you can try it. Maybe the emperor will find out and give you an official position."

As soon as the man in blue said this, the man in blue immediately blushed.

He just couldn't get used to those princes who didn't do anything and could still be high above them, and they just felt uncomfortable and complained.

"I heard that Brother Xu failed the ranking again. Do the math, this is the fourth time for Brother Xu!"

The man in the green shirt was humiliated, so he naturally felt uncomfortable and wanted to fight back.

"Is it your turn?"

When it came to this matter, the man in blue had a look of desolation on his face, and then turned back with a cold face.

After getting angry, I didn't want to stay here and make a fuss with these people, so I got up and left.

The few people left on the table naturally broke up unhappy.

After the people are gone.

Only then did Master Jiu instruct Laixi, "Go and check that man in blue."

He has always been accurate in seeing people. Although this blue-clothed man speaks in a ruffian manner, he is also an ambitious person. After all, the loneliness in his eyes before cannot deceive people.

"Yes."

Laixi hurriedly responded.

The Thirteenth Master on the side couldn't understand it, but Brother Jiu always had his reasons for doing things, so he just looked at it.

Laixi's movements were also quick, and later on, the details of the man in blue were in Master Jiu's hands.

The blue-clothed man's name is Xu Luan. He was a 16-year-old middle-ranked candidate, so he is well-known in Kaifeng Mansion. He studies hard on weekdays, and he only waits to become an official in the court in the future and honor his ancestors.

It's just that more than ten years have passed, and Xu Luan is still just a candidate. It is said that he failed the four scientific examinations.

 good night!
