Mo Yanliang

Chapter 36

During the decades since Fenghuang ascended the throne, the relationship with Grand Master Xia has always been delicate.

But for Xia Huaixun, the youngest son of Taishi Xia, he really admired him.

Of course, there was no shortage of talented young officials on the emperor's side.

But the taste is elegant and knowledgeable, the personality is funny, smooth, honest, free and easy...

He has only met Xia Huaixun in his life who combines these diverse, even somewhat contradictory characteristics into one person, and who is not greedy for power.

In the first few years of entering the officialdom, Xia Huaixun has been focusing on writing books and lecturing, and never actively participated in political affairs.

Piansheng Fenghuang is willing to listen to his opinion on everything, and even regards him as a friend who has forgotten his age after a long time.

Even Taishi Xia and Wen Jing had never received such trust.

It is a great event for the emperor to come to the courtier's mansion, and it will take a long time just to prepare to pick him up, costing countless money.

But ever since Xia Huaixun became a bachelor, Fenghuang often followed him to the Grand Master's Mansion in subdued clothes, and the more times he ate, his tongue became tricky.

Serving the emperor to eat is not a good job, but the principle of cannibalism applies to everyone.

Besides, for diners like this who can't refuse at all, the only way is to receive them carefully.

Xia Yueliang has always been good at taking troubles as opportunities, the key to whether he can bring down Old Fox Wen actually lies in the old emperor.

If not, why should the father, who is unrestrained and unrestrained, wronged himself to serve the king?

As soon as the study door opened, a particularly pleasing face was revealed.

"Hello Eunuch An." Xia Yue blessed her body with a cool smile.

"Miss Yue is also good." Eunuch An, the head of the imperial court, narrowed his eyes with a smile, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

The last time the two met was more than half a year ago.

Twelve or thirteen-year-old children, shouldn't they grow up a lot after not seeing each other for a few months?

Why is it that the third girl from the Xia family has grown a bit taller, but this appearance... seems to be one or two years younger?

Xia Yueliang's smile was even sweeter.

Eunuch An's eyes are enough to prove that her dressing up today is very successful.

A companion is like a tiger, and a powerful minister is as cunning as a fox.

Innocent and cute little girls are the easiest way to make people lose their defenses, so that they can better protect themselves while achieving their goals.

The two walked into the study, and Fenghuang, who was talking loudly, laughed and said: "Yue girl is here, and my meal will also be here."

Fenghuang's age is about the same as Xia Taishi and Wen Jing, both of whom are in their sixties and full of children and grandchildren.

But Feng Huang is graceful and dignified, Xia Taishi is handsome and elegant, he was a very rare handsome man when he was young, and he is not ugly when he is old.

Wen Jing has the appearance of an ordinary person, and his temperament has nothing to do with the old fox. He looks very honest and honest.

In addition, he has always regarded himself as an upright official, and he doesn't pay much attention to food and clothing, so he seems to be more than ten years older than the other two.

Xia and Wen's family had been at odds for many years, and Wen Jing's visits to Taishi's residence were very limited, and he had no impression of Xia Yueliang at all.

Today, at the invitation of the Emperor, he had the cheek to follow him to Fengquan Garden for a meal. A large part of the reason was to meet the third girl of the Xia family who was often talked about by His Majesty.

But he obviously did not expect that Xia Huaixun's daughter was actually a little girl who looked only about ten years old.

Xia Yueliang bowed to several people, and then said: "The courtier has ordered people to prepare lunch, please move to the side hall with Wen Xiang."

Fenghuang smiled even more happily.

"Xiguang, your Yue girl has grown up more and more. She is only a little older, but she can arrange things properly."

Xia Huaixun smiled and said, "It's just that the customers don't care about the father. He is a warm and hospitable host. Being a good daughter is not so interesting."

Xia Yueliang's little mouth pouted high.

Fenghuang stood up and said: "This is called being in the blessing and not knowing the blessing, look at the mouth of Yue girl who can hang oil bottles.

Let's go, let's have dinner first, and we'll talk later if we have anything to say. "

Xia Huaixun led the way, and led Fenghuang and Wen Jing to the side hall.

Eunuch An deliberately stayed behind, and said in a low voice, "Miss Yue, our family would like to borrow two from you."

Xia Yue sneered and said: "Eunuch, don't be too polite, I have already arranged people, you just need to serve His Majesty for dinner."

"Hey, thank you, Miss Yue."

Eunuch An walked into the side hall, and sure enough, he saw the two maids, Chun Zhuo and Ming Jia, already waiting there.

Although Xia Yueliang had confessed in advance, Chunzhuo was still worried that Mingjia would not be able to hold his breath, so he took the first step to stand behind Wen Jing.

Mingjia pursed his lips slightly, and walked to Xia Huaixun's side.

As Xia Yueliang's identity, it was difficult to follow, so she simply found a travel journal, and flipped through it after sitting on the desk.

Fenghuang likes spicy food, but the imperial food in the palace tastes bland, so every time he goes to the Taishi's mansion for dinner, she asks the cook to make spicy dishes.

Wen Laohu only eats green vegetables and tofu on weekdays, so the taste must be light.

He definitely can't eat Fenghuang's favorite dishes, and the Yasu City version of Shuocheng dishes are relatively greasy, and there are even some fishy dishes, which he probably can't swallow.

She just wanted to let that old fox know that Xia's food is not so easy to grab!

He has always been the best at flattering, and today it depends on how he "happily" fills his stomach in front of His Majesty.

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the study door.

"Please come in." Xia Yueliang said loudly.

The door was ajar, but it opened with a slight push.

"Girl." A pleasant female voice sounded, and the slender Zhulu walked into the study.

She is 20 years old this year, which is the happiest age in a woman's life, and her appearance is already outstanding, and it is not an exaggeration to describe her as beautiful and beautiful.

But Xia Yueliang didn't know why, she always felt that there was something wrong with Zhulu today.

Zhu Lu walked to her side, and asked with a smile: "The fourth master told the girl to return to Beijing in August, why did you come back so early?"

Xia Yueliang said: "Everything in Banchi Villa is good, but the quiet life is a bit boring. I miss my grandmother and second sister very much, so I came back early."

"I heard that the second girl is engaged to King Yasu?"

"It's settled, but I still have to ask His Majesty for a marriage."

"And what about the young master's legs? At that time, the fourth master almost returned to Beijing early."

Seeing that she didn't even have a glass of water in front of her, Zhulu went to the tea table to make a pot of tea.

Only then did Xia Yueliang see her back clearly, and almost screamed out.

God!

When did Zhulu start to comb women's buns?

Could it be that the millennium-old iron tree in my family finally bloomed? !
She threw the book aside, and rushed over in two or three steps.

"Zhulu, there are so many empty yards in our mansion, which one do you like?"

Although it is impossible for Zhulu to be her stepmother, there is no mistress in the fourth room, and the Xia family has so many empty yards, so it is no problem for her to live in a spacious place.

Zhu Lu was stunned for a moment, her pretty face flushed quickly.

The girl is so happy, which means that she still wants to let herself serve fourth master.

But she really misunderstood...
