There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 671

"Uh……"

Su Xian was slightly embarrassed.

I just swore that I had no correspondence with Tang Shuwan.

As a result, a Minglan appeared immediately.

I also brought a handwritten letter from Tang Shuwan...

"Husband, please hurry up and don't keep me waiting." Liu Huixiang glanced at Su Xian with gentle eyes, and slowly got up from Su Xian's chest. There was no abnormality on the surface, and she said sideways:
"After all, everyone said that it must be handed over to the husband with his own hands."

"Are you jealous, madam?" Su Xian smiled, stood up, hugged Liu Huixiang from behind, rested his chin on her sharp shoulders, and blew into her ear.

"Itchy..." Liu Huixiang giggled, untied the hands around her waist, pushed Su Xian out, and said with a smile: "Husband, go quickly, I am not a jealous person."

Su Xian walked towards the door and said before leaving: "How dare you deny it? You little jealous woman, I will take care of you when my husband comes back!"

"..."

Su Xian got out of the living room and came to the living room in the inner courtyard.

Minglan is already waiting there.

"My servant pays homage to the Marquis." Ming Lan behaved and performed the Wanfu salute, but on her lowered head, her big round eyes were swiveling around.

"Well, no need to be polite, how is your lady?"

Su Xian knew Minglan, and knew that this little girl was quirky, and whether there were any outsiders in the living room, he was very casual. After he sat down, he ordered Minglan to sit down.

Minglan didn't dare to sit down, and carefully took out an envelope. On her raised head, the eyes that had been turning around just now had returned to normal, and she replied with a smile:

"Master Lao is concerned about you. Everything is well with the lady. Master, this is a handwritten letter from the lady. I ordered my servant to hand it over to the Lord."

Minglan delivered the envelope with both hands.

Su Xian was very surprised. Tang Shuwan was staying well in her boudoir. Why did she write to him when she had nothing to do?
Could it really be...a love letter?
Unlikely!

He had secretly made several appointments with Tang Shuwan, got to know her in depth, and knew that she was not such an unrestrained person. Unless Su Xian wrote to her first, she would reply...

Su Xian took the envelope and took a quick look. This envelope was specially made. It was pink and tender, very girlish, and it was delicate, smooth and textured.

He didn't read the writing on the envelope carefully, just stuffed it into his pocket, looked up at Minglan and said, "I have received the letter. You can go back. I will reply later."

"Oh."

Minglan nodded, turned around slowly, and walked towards the door of the living room.

But after a few steps, Minglan suddenly turned around, looked at Su Xian and said:

"Master Marquis, I have one more thing to do."

"Oh, you said."

"I heard from the young lady that there is something very good in the Marquis's house..."

"Very good what?"

Su Xian got up from the chair and looked at her with a smile.

Minglan's round little face turned red from suppressing the pain, her big eyes flashed, her lips pursed, and her throat contracted slightly...

She had made it so obvious, but Su Xian just didn't want to be "teachable". She could never say those two words, and she was very embarrassed for a while.

Seeing that she couldn't explain why, Su Xian stopped smiling and ordered:
"Your lady should be anxiously waiting for you to return. Don't delay any longer. Go back as soon as possible. Pay attention to safety on the road... I will send someone to see you off."

"Oh... ok... ok..."

Minglan pouted and turned around unwillingly. She hated herself so much. She had thought clearly just now, but she couldn't speak when the situation came to pass.

She slowly walked towards the door of the living room, and gently pinched her thigh with the hand hidden in her long sleeve... She was so useless!

However, just before she was about to leave the living room, two maids suddenly appeared and blocked the way.

Looking closely, the maids were holding a tray in their hands. On the tray were...two glass jars the size of human heads!
The two glass jars are almost identical, regardless of shape, size, or color. Put together, they can be said to be absolute treasures and highly collectible.

However, what really caught Minglan's eye was what was contained in the translucent glass jar, one after another, wrapped in oil paper. That was——

The candy she wanted to beg for just now but was too embarrassed to ask for!

So much, two big cans!

Minglan looked shocked and stood there, dumbfounded. The excitement and excitement in her heart was hard to describe.

Su Xian walked forward, looked at her and smiled:
"You little girl, you are almost a family, but you are still embarrassed to speak... Look, I have prepared everything for you. Is this enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough! My slave, thank you Lord Marquis for the reward!"

Minglan came to life in an instant, reaching out to hug the two glass jars filled with candies.

Su Xian raised his hand and said with a smile: "Wait a minute."

Ming Lan immediately got stuck, turned her head, her big round eyes were full of confusion, and there was a trace of...anxiety, for fear that Su Xian would repent.

"Don't worry, I have two more words to say."

"Master Marquis, please tell me." Minglan looked at the two glass jars eagerly, her throat constricting.

"Two jars of candies, one for you and one for your lady. Come back to the Marquis' Mansion to ask for it after you finish it. Don't be embarrassed. However, although the candies are sweet, don't eat too much, otherwise it will be bad for your teeth."

"Uh-huh."

"In addition, I prepared a small jar separately." Su Xian waved his hand, and another maid brought a small porcelain jar, as big as an adult man's fist, which was also filled with candies.

"This jar of candy is for you alone." Su Xian smiled brightly.

"Yeah, thank you, Lord Marquis!" Minglan's heart was filled with joy, and there were a bunch of little stars in her eyes. Good luck to my future uncle!She can't wait to get married... No, it's not right to marry with the young lady...

"However, there is a condition. You need to call me 'uncle'." Su Xian was still smiling, but now his smile looked evil.

"Hmm...ah?" Minglan looked at Su Xian blankly, her big eyes flickered, and she immediately shouted: "Uncle!"

Su Xian was satisfied, laughed, raised his hand and pinched her chubby face, then waved his hand, pointed at the three cans of candy, and ordered:
"Glass and porcelain are fragile, so be careful on the road."

Su Xian's fingerprints were still on Minglan's face, but she ignored them and left happily holding three jars filled with candy.

……

After Su Xian arranged for the soldiers to escort Minglan back to the house, he turned and returned to the living room.

Liu Huixiang is still waiting there.

When she saw Su Xian returning, she stood up and greeted her: "Did you send that little girl away? Where is the autographed letter from the cousin of the Tang family? I am very curious..."

Su Xian twitched the corner of his mouth and felt a little pain in his balls. If he had known that Liu Huixiang was so... unrestrained and wanted to read the autograph letter written by Tang Shuwan to him, he would not have come back yet.

He scratched his head and explained with a smile:
"Actually...it was the little girl Minglan who was greedy and wanted to eat sweets, so she came to the Hou Mansion to 'fight the autumn wind' under the guise of Miss Tang's handwritten letter. There was no handwritten letter."

"Really?" Liu Huixiang smiled, staring at Su Xian's face with her watery eyes, her eyes slid down and then quickly raised up.

"Of course!"

"Then... what is this?" Liu Huixiang took a step forward, her bare hands raised lightly, she pinched the front of Su Xian's skirt with two fingers, pulled it back slowly, and a pink and tender envelope appeared in her hand.

"Uh……"

Su Xian's face immediately darkened slightly.

Cheating!
He could have solved the matter, but who would have thought that the envelope stuffed into his pocket would actually "reveal" and Liu Huixiang would find it and take it out on the spot.

"Oh, it's still pink. This is a style just for girls in the boudoir!" Liu Huixiang held the envelope between her fingers, her tone sounding sour.

"Madam, you have become evil, please return it to your husband!" Su Xian reached out to grab it.

"Haha, I won't return it!" Liu Huixiang giggled and dodged left and right.

"No, let's see how my husband handles you later."

"..."

After all, Su Xian was born as a man, and with the recent diligent training in boxing and kicking, his strength and speed were beyond the reach of a weak woman like Liu Huixiang.

He quickly caught Liu Huixiang and took back the pink envelope...

after a little while.

The living room fell silent.

The sound of birds playing outside is clear and sweet.

Su Xian was sitting on a large chair, holding Tang Shuwan's autographed letter in his hand and reading it carefully.

Liu Huixiang was still lying on Su Xian's chest. She didn't peek at the letter. Instead, she held a wine glass and sipped it with a beautiful orchid finger.

Suddenly, she felt something was wrong.

I tilted my head and thought about it carefully, and it suddenly dawned on me.

It turned out that while Su Xian was reading the letter, a hand had been holding her slender waist, but the hand had withdrawn just now and has not yet "returned to its position".

Liu Huixiang put down her wine glass, gently held Su Xian's hand with both hands, placed it on her waist, and pressed lightly.

Su Xian seemed to feel something, and hugged her hard. Liu Huixiang suddenly rolled her beautiful eyes, feeling very fulfilled.

Just like that, the living room was silent.

Neither of them spoke.

There is no extra action.

The only sound that Su Xian made while reading the letter was the slight sound of the paper being flipped...

Soon, Su Xian finished reading the letter, folded the letter paper and stuffed it into the envelope.

"What did cousin Tang's cousin say?" Liu Huixiang lay comfortably on Su Xian's chest, her watery eyes half-closed, and asked lazily when Su Xian finished reading the letter.

"Actually nothing."

"Is it really a love letter?" Liu Huixiang immediately became interested. She opened her watery eyes, supported Su Xian's chest with both hands, stood up with strength, and said with a meaningful smile:
"If the love letter sent by the Tang family's cousin is indeed a love letter, then should I... avoid it?"

"..."

Snapped!
Su Xian slapped Liu Huixiang on the plump part of Liu Huixiang's delicate body. Caught off guard, Liu Huixiang let out a sweet moan, her face was slightly warm, and her watery eyes were bright.

"You little jealous woman, are you excited again?" Su Xian said:
"This is not a love letter, but... Miss Tang said in the letter that she would like to help her husband to help Uncle Shi fight for the position of governor of Youzhou."

"Please ask your husband to help Tang Envoy fight for the position of governor of Youzhou?" Liu Huixiang was slightly surprised. This result was far from what she expected.

However, she immediately said in a sour tone: "My cousin from the Tang family hasn't even gotten married yet, and she's asking her husband to help with things. I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

"..."

Snapped!
Su Xian slapped again.

Liu Huixiang groaned again, her delicate body twisting like a snake, looking at Su Xian with her watery eyes, starry and about to cry, which was particularly endearing.

"The situation is not what Madam thought." Su Xian explained: "The reason why Miss Tang made this request is mainly for the sake of her husband."

Liu Huixiang looked confused.

Su Xian continued to explain:
"The reason why my husband returned to Yingzhou was actually to secretly fight against the Liao Dynasty, and Miss Tang already knew it.

"But Uncle Shi's ability is actually very good, especially for the situation in Liao Kingdom. Even my husband has to admire him."

"If Uncle Shi is appointed as the governor of Youzhou, it will be really helpful to my husband. At least, he will not hinder my husband in the future."

"It was precisely because of this consideration that Miss Tang came up with this letter..."

"..."

"It turns out that the Tang family's cousin is thinking about her husband."

Liu Huixiang looked a little ashamed, and then said seriously:
"Before I married into the Su family, I lived in the Tang Mansion for two days and met Uncle Shi several times. Now that I think about it, Uncle Shi's talent and character make him the best choice to serve as the governor of Youzhou. It should be a great help to my husband!"

"..."

"Madam, you're not jealous anymore?" Su Xian teased, and the hand on Liu Huixiang's delicate body became restless... He called it a slap twice just now, and he was afraid that Madam would be in pain, so he comforted her.

"I'm not jealous." Liu Huixiang was a little itchy, twisting around and joking: "Just now, I discovered that two glass jars the size of human heads are missing from the house..."

"You said you're not jealous, but let's see how your husband fixes you. You little jealous wife just needs to be dealt with!"

"Haha... I also heard that the two glass jars are filled with candies... Husband, I also want to eat candies." Liu Huixiang said with a smile.

"Eat, I will give you a lollipop for my husband!"

Su Xian put Liu Huixiang on his shoulders with his backhand, walked to the bed, and threw it on top.

Then he jumped over himself.

……

……

After half an hour.

Liu Huixiang was tidied up and docile.

During the day, I stayed in bed to recover my strength.

Su Xian had strong physical strength after drinking "Nine Branches of Nectar". After taking a hot bath, he felt energetic. Then he came to the study and sent someone to invite Yan Dashan.

Helping Tang Ju compete for the position of governor of Youzhou involves the plan to resist the Liao Dynasty, so he approached Yan Dashan to discuss it together.

After Yan Dashan arrived, after hearing Su Xian's reasons, he immediately raised his hands in agreement, but then he frowned and asked a question:
"It is certainly good for Tang Shijun to serve as the governor of Youzhou, but... as of now, your majesty may have selected a new governor of Youzhou long ago."

"As the saying goes, you have no words. Once your order is given, it is difficult to change it... We strongly recommend Tang Envoy to you at this time, but I am afraid it is already too late!"

Su Xian pondered for a while and said confidently:
"Since Your Majesty has ordered me to sit in Hebei Province and secretly resist the Liao Dynasty, you must provide certain conveniences! Furthermore, I can also ask Princess Lanling to help..."

"Generally speaking, I am [-]% sure that His Majesty will change his mind and help Uncle Shi take the position of governor of Youzhou."

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zhilan suddenly entered the study and said:
"Sir, the poisonous lady is back."

Su Xian was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly told Madam Poison to come see her immediately.

Yan Dashan's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice:
"No, I actually forgot about this. Once the news of the failed cooperation with Nan Chen reaches the capital of God, your Majesty will most likely reject the young master's request if he is in a bad mood."

Su Xian twitched the corner of his mouth and was speechless: "Da Shan, why do you think Nan Chen will definitely refuse to cooperate?"

In fact, Yan Dashan did not know about the relationship between Su Xian and Chen Keyan, the princess of Nanchen Wu Kingdom.

Therefore, like the Queen, Princess Lanling and others, he believed that Su Xian's "wishful thinking" would definitely fail. How could Nan Chen cooperate with Daliang?

Totally impossible!
Unless the sun hits the west out!
Yan Dashan wanted to argue, but when he saw Su Xian's expectant look, he sensibly shut his mouth...

Su Xian is the great benefactor of his family, he really doesn't want to embarrass Su Xian.

Soon, the poisonous lady with slender eyebrows, black lips, and vicious eyes came to the study room. She was dusty and tired, and her eyes were full of exhaustion.

It can be seen that they have been traveling day and night for the past two days and have not had a good rest.

"We have been working hard on our trip to Nanchen. How was the result of this trip?" Su Xian was full of confidence, expecting that the poisonous lady would definitely bring good news. With Chen Keyan's power in Nanchen, this "little thing" should not be a problem for her.

"Young Master, I am ashamed..." The poisonous lady bowed her hands.

"You..." Su Xian frowned when he saw this, his confidence disappeared, and bad thoughts came to his mind. Could it be that the Nanchen incident... failed?

Should not be!

Chen Keyan is a dignified princess of the Wu Kingdom, deeply loved by Emperor Chen, and also in control of Emperor Chen's hidden guards, she shouldn't be unable to handle such trivial matters...

Could it be that Chen Keyan is unwilling to help?
Not impossible.

Su Xian felt a slight headache.

Not to mention Chen Keyan's problem, in terms of the impact of this matter, it is probably as Yan Dashan said. The Queen was rejected by Nan Chen and was in a bad mood. There is a high probability that Su Xian, the "initiator", will be blamed.

and then dismissed his request.

On the side, Yan Dashan shook his head.

He knew it would be like this.

"What exactly happened? If you tell me carefully, did Emperor Chen really reject the proposal to cooperate in the fight against the Liao Dynasty?" Su Xian asked in a deep voice.

The poisonous lady raised her head, with a slightly surprised look on her face, and corrected: "No, Emperor Chen has agreed to the proposal to cooperate in the fight against the Liao Dynasty. Please rest assured, sir, we succeeded!"

"..."

There was a brief silence in the study.

Su Xian and Yan Dashan were both digesting and absorbing this sentence.

"What did you say? Emperor Chen agreed to the proposal to cooperate in the fight against the Liao Dynasty?" After a few breaths, Su Xian's face was complicated, and his eyes were fixed on the poisonous lady's vicious eyes.

"Yes, congratulations son, we succeeded!"

"Since you succeeded in persuading Emperor Chen, why did you say 'I am ashamed' just now?" Su Xian scolded him angrily. He thought he had failed just now.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to cause such trouble to the young master..." The poisonous lady bowed down.

"That's all, what's going on?"

"Reporting to the young master, on the way back to Daliang from Nanchen, my subordinates accidentally encountered the remnants of the previous dynasty... After a fierce battle, although my subordinates finally won, they also wasted a lot of time, because they thought that after the delay, It might delay the master’s plans, so…”

"So you just said 'I am ashamed'?"

"My lord, please punish me."

"That's all. In fact, your news came just in time, right Dashan?" Su Xian turned to look at Yan Dashan with a smile on his lips.

Yan Dashan scratched his head, with a puzzled look on his face. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears just now, he would never have believed it!

"How did you convince Emperor Chen?" Yan Dashan finally asked.

The poisonous lady replied according to the prearranged rhetoric:
"My subordinates don't know either... In fact, at the beginning, Emperor Chen and the entire court of Chen Kingdom did not agree with it, but the strange thing is that Princess Wu finally changed her mind..."

"Strange!"

After hearing this, Yan Dashan walked aside and doubted his life, muttering to himself:
"I have long heard that Princess Wu of Nanchen hates Daliang very much. Logically speaking, she should not change her mind and join the palace to persuade her to become emperor! What is going on?"

"..."

Hearing this, Su Xian coughed, ignored him, turned to look at the poisonous lady and ordered:

"You have worked hard along the way. Go down and have a good rest first. This merit will be recorded in the merit book for the time being. After the crisis in Liao Kingdom is resolved, I will ask for credit for you as well!"

"Thank you sir."

After the poisonous lady left the study, Su Xian turned to look at Yan Dashan who was scratching his head and said with a smile:
"If I said I was [-]% sure just now, then now, I am [-]% sure!"

"Young master... amazing!"

Yan Dashan actually wanted to say, "Did the young master just get lucky?"Fortunately, it was not said out loud.

He patted his forehead and reminded: "Young Master, please write to Your Majesty as soon as possible. The sooner the better, otherwise things may change later."

Su Xian didn't say anything. He thought about it for a while and finally said, "There's no rush to submit the letter. It's already too late anyway. It doesn't matter if it's a little later."

"As for Uncle Shi, what is the situation? We still don't know. What if Uncle Shi doesn't want to go to Youzhou? We should respect Uncle Shi's opinion."

"That makes sense." Yan Dashan nodded.

"Let's go to Yingzhou Yamen and meet Uncle Shi before we talk!"

"..."

In fact, from the moment he saw Tang Shuwan's handwritten letter, Su Xian thought this idea was very good and wonderful!
He decided that he must support Tang Ju to become the governor of Youzhou.

As early as a few days ago, he had talked freely with Tang Ju about the situation in the Liao Kingdom. At that time, he believed that with Tang Ju's ability and knowledge, it was really unfair to stay in the position of governor of Yingzhou.

Since the position of governor of Youzhou is a piece of cake and a ladder for promotion, why not fight for the prospective father-in-law?
What's more, in Su Xian's view, even if the Liao cavalry went south to invade the border, Youzhou would be very safe.

Because Nan Chen has agreed to cooperate in the fight against Liao and agreed to provide divine thunder to Daliang.

This gives Su Xian an "opportunity". He will secretly manufacture gunpowder in large quantities and arm Youzhou with all of it. Even if the world is in chaos, Youzhou will still stand firm!
Youzhou is very safe, and it is also a ladder for advancement. If you don't let your own people take such a good opportunity, why should you give it away?

Su Xian is not that stupid.

……

In the blink of an eye, Su Xian and Yan Dashan have arrived at Yingzhou Yamen.

The two of them went straight to Tang Ju's room.

After Tang Ju read Tang Shuwan's letter, he actually had the idea of ​​meeting Su Xian. Su Xian's sudden visit was just in line with his wishes.

The guests and hosts were seated and tea was served.

Su Xian directly stated the purpose of his visit: "Uncle Shi, Miss Tang has made it clear in her letter. My nephew is here just to ask Uncle Shi what he thinks."
