Chapter 106

This is a pleasant surprise.

Next month is May, and there will be a chance of promotion in May. Changying knew that this was what she planned to do, but she didn't expect that she would have a chance when she became a superintendent.

She was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Is this considered going through the back door?"

Xu Lan also smiled: "It doesn't count. Because if you fail to do things well and miss the main task, then even if you have made great achievements before, I will not report it to the higher authorities.

"And even if it is reported, I am not the one who reviewed it. Even if you want to go through the back door, there is no way to go."

Changying nodded, but remained silent.

On the bed, he was still cheerful, but after all, he was not as mighty as usual, but the weird feeling that he brought to Changying like that day was gone.

To him right now, she is very sober and calm, and there is no undue thought in her mind.

"Master, Miss Su is here."

Hu En came in to report and glanced at Changying along the way.

Changying stood up: "You take a good rest, I'll go back first. I'll let you know when there's progress."

"Changying!" Xu Lan called her.

Chang Ying turned around on the spot.

He said, "You don't have to go. Sit down a little longer."

The man's face was full of sincerity.

Changying stood silently, but still felt that she should leave.

She nodded: "It's getting late, I'll come back another day."

Changying walked out of the door and met Su Xinrong head-on.

Su Xinrong seemed to be in a good mood, she just gave her a gouging look before entering the door.

As the sun goes down, the twilight gradually rises, and the Nanfeng Lane in the twilight is simple and peaceful.

Changying strolled to the door of the house, and saw a passing vendor selling vegetables, so she simply stopped, calling "Mama Wu" at the door, and bowed her head to pick a few radishes and two handfuls of shallots.

Not far away, the curtain of a carriage was lifted open by an exquisite ivory fan.

The eyes of the people in the carriage were like a deep pool, looking at the figure who was concentrating on picking vegetables through the raised curtains. Under the dark light and shadow inside the carriage, their sharp and sharp features were as deep as the reflection in the water.

Guo Jiao who was standing under the car glanced sideways at the inside of the car, his lips parted slightly, but he closed them without saying anything.

"Eat something vegetarian tonight."

Changying gave the vegetables to Mama Wu, and handed over a few copper coins to the vendor.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of someone on the street. Looking up, a carriage passed by, and the curtain was tightly hidden.

In the carriage, Guo Jiao asked Ling Yuan, "Should we stay in the town tonight?"

"Go to the city and find an inn."

……

Since Xu Lan pointed out the way, Changying naturally wanted to grasp the opportunity of more than a month.

She knew that Wu Yue had the chance to be promoted because the prefect of Huzhou also participated in the election in her previous life. Originally, military affairs were not related to the yamen.

Cheng Xiao's case gave her a lot of points, but at the same time, there were other generals in the guard who made meritorious service elsewhere, so it couldn't be said that she was sure of it.

There is no room for mistakes in errands.

After dinner, she annotated all the affairs of the next half month, and then went through the recent events in Huzhou, and picked out a few things that might have an impact and made reminders to avoid being caught by surprise at that time. Interference.

After everything was done, she picked up a roster of officials from the Water Transportation Department that Huo Rong had given her a few days earlier and opened it.

The officials of each department recorded in this roster are very thoughtful and detailed, and even the relationship between some officials is clearly marked, which can be said to have done enough homework.

But Changying also had doubts.

As the son of an imperial merchant, Huo Rong has enough financial resources for the Huo family to cultivate this young master. Needless to say, with the trust and importance that the Huo family received in front of the emperor, Huo Rong can get a lot of help in private to facilitate his actions, which is also logical.

However, he was able to obtain such a detailed roster of officials in a short period of time, isn't it still somewhat unexpected?
"Girl, General Huo invites you to the noodle shop at the corner of the street."

Changying looked at the sky and said, "I've already finished my dinner, what kind of noodles should I have?"

Because of the mistakes she made before, Yingbi is very careful now: "The servant asked repeatedly, but the person who came here refused to say anything, only said that if the girl has gone, she will not regret it."

Changying sneered secretly, and ignored it, but put down the roster half a moment later, got up and went out.

When I arrived at the noodle shop where I had eaten with Xu Lan that day, she was already there, and she was still wearing the armor she wore at the pier, her hair was put aside, and her thick hair was a little messy, but she focused on it. It looks like it is eaten, but there are no traces of scribbles.

"Is your hand ready?" She sat across from him and looked at him.

There is still gauze tied on his right hand, but he is very flexible when he lifts the chopsticks.

Huo Rong buried his head and ignored her, as if he didn't hear her, until he finished eating the remaining half bowl of noodles, then raised his glass to rinse his mouth, took out a handkerchief and wiped his lips.

He looked up at her, the lights in the noodle shop were not very bright, which illuminated her usual heroic features a bit softly, and her body looked a little thin under the summer clothes.

"Do you have any thoughts on the matter of the Water Transportation Department?" He asked.

Changying glanced at him: "Didn't General Huo let me ask questions?"

"I don't want you to ask, but asking what you think doesn't hinder me."

"No idea," she said.

Huo Rong tolerated her petty temper, and said in the usual tone, "Does your head still hurt?"

Changying stared: "Could it be that you came to me to chat about family affairs?"

Huo Rong looked at her and said: "You are so tricky, how did you get out of the capital alive? Even if Ling Yuan didn't kill you back then, he should have blocked all the checkpoints. Could it be that you have wings?"

"Auspicious people have their own appearance."

Changying didn't want to talk more with him.

Huo Rong sipped his tea at the window, and said for a moment: "It's a little urgent to find you.

"My family is in a hurry to urge marriage recently. We have a ready-made marriage certificate. Anyway, you haven't taken a fancy to anyone. Would you like to do me this favor and simply pass this door?"

Changying's finger tapped on the table suddenly stopped, and then she looked over with a silly look.

Huo Rong was calm, as if he was talking about something that couldn't be more serious.

"General Huo is suffering from some hidden disease, making it difficult to get married?" Changying looked at him, looking from the head to the chest half covered by the table.

"I have good facial features, a strong physique, good conduct, I love cleanliness, I don't beat women, I don't have concubines, and I don't promiscuity outside. Getting married is not difficult."

"Then are you kidding me?" Changying played with her braids.

Huo Rong didn't answer, he picked up a piece of mutton with his chopsticks, and looked at her while eating slowly.

Changying thought it was funny.

The marriage certificate was signed by her. That's right. There was something strange about the time when the incident happened. It's very likely that he didn't lie to her. She didn't deny it, but when it comes to getting married, let it go?
"I heard that the imperial envoy has already arrived in Huzhou. If it is someone from the Ling family, what will you do?"

Huo Rong swallowed the mutton and said slowly.
