Xiang Nan walked out of the inn with Chen Er. The street was very quiet in the winter morning. Most of the shops were not open yet. There were only hawkers carrying burdens, laborers working in a hurry with tools, and watchmen leaving work at night. Tired and yawning, he walked by.
They were all busy with their livelihoods or anxious to go back to rest, and they did not pay special attention to this young man in white robe who was walking leisurely.
There are many dignitaries who come to Guangzhou Prefecture. Even in troubled times, the dignitaries always live a better life than ordinary people. No matter what time, people are still different.
The government office was open day and night. At this time, there were officials waiting at the door. When they saw Xiang Nan coming over, they came forward to salute.
"Master Xiang, please go this way." He said, not entering the government office but turning back.
Xiang Nan knew that it was the back door he had visited before.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When I see Mrs. Wu on official business, I want to go to the government office. For private matters, I ask through the back door. Mrs. Wu distinguishes between public and private matters, respects the government office, and is low-key and restrained.
The crowded businessmen in front of the back door disappeared, but the men with swords were still there. Everyone clearly remembered Xiang Nan when they saw him. After all, he was so good-looking that it was difficult for people to ignore him. Because there were officials guiding the way, they were just vigilantly scrutinizing Xiang Nan and Chen Eryi said nothing.
The old servant opened the door and saw the official smiling: "I'm going to greet you."
The official smiled and said: "Where is it?" He turned sideways and said, "I have sent Mr. Xiang here."
The old servant smiled and saluted Xiang Nan: "Master, please."
Xiang Nan and Chen Er went in, and the officials bowed out without following them. When the door closed, it was Mrs. Wu's little world.
The old servant arranged for Chen Er to have tea with the concierge. In addition to tea, the concierge also had some snacks. He was considerate and polite to see if he had breakfast.
The back house of the government office is not big. There are many flowers and trees planted, high and low, and the morning mist lingers in it.
Xiang Nan followed the old servant in. As soon as he passed the courtyard gate, he saw a woman walking from the corridor. The mist made her vaguely visible.
Xiang Nan recognized it at a glance, and it was indeed the fairy she had seen by the lake.
Xiang Nan stopped and heard the old servant call out, "Young Madam."
The young lady looked over, her long eyelashes fanned away the mist, revealing her face, but before she could look at each other, there were footsteps coming from behind her. They were two children about ten years old, holding up a flower basket with a bunch of flowers inside. There are bunches of red, yellow and white plum blossoms, and half-opened camellias of various colors.
"Young madam, we just picked the flowers." they stammered.
Li Minglou reached out to take it and smiled at the two children.
They are orphans. Their parents died in the war. They stumbled here with the refugees and managed to escape here. Sometimes they ate porridge and sometimes they went to pick up work on construction sites, but they survived. The day before yesterday, they were eating porridge at the city gate when a housekeeper called them away and said Work for the young lady.
¡°I originally thought it was a dream, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be true, but I still thought it was a dream, especially when Mrs. Wu smiled at them.
The two children turned around and ran away.
Li Minglou did not call them back, nor did he look at Xiang Nan again. He walked into the house carrying a flower basket.
"Master Xiang, please." The old servant smiled.
Xiang Nan followed the old servant through the courtyard and walked in. It was a small study room. The outside room was used for reading, and the inside room was used for drinking tea and resting. There was a bead curtain hanging down, and the young lady sat inside, half leaning in front of the mirror. Dressing on the dressing table, picking flowers in the basket.
"Mrs. Wu, Xiang Nan is polite." Xiang Nan saluted.
Mrs. Wu glanced over through the bead curtain and nodded slightly in return.
"Mr. Xiang, what do you mean when you say that my young lady is in danger?" The old servant stood by the bead curtain and asked, and then saluted apologetically, "The young lady is young and alone, and she is ill and it is inconvenient to talk to her husband. , I¡¯ll let the old servant speak for me if I have anything to say, please forgive me.¡±
"Originally I was rude." Xiang Nan replied simply and neatly without guessing their true intentions, "Young Madam is compassionate and caring to the refugees, but she is too harsh on the rich and powerful. In doing so, Huainan Road in Guangzhou Prefecture seems to be peaceful. , In fact, there is a strong undercurrent, and the young lady is in danger."
Li Minglou pinched the camellia and threw it back into the flower basket. What, he said this when he was in danger. It was in vain that she had prepared so much.
She really thought that Xiang Nan knew her identity, and she had no scruples anymore. She could meet him whenever she wanted. As soon as he revealed her identity, she would kill him.
Li Minglou glanced out the window. The small courtyard shrouded in morning mist was like a fairyland. There were many soldiers all over the place. There were more than three of them in the room. As soon as he called out the three words "Li Minglou", they hacked Luan to death with knives. Killed by an arrow.
She doesn¡¯t want HuaiThey.
Seeing that the old servant was not polite when seeing off guests, these people immediately became rude too.
Xiang Nan said: "Let's go."
When they returned to the inn, the Xiang family's entourage was also waiting, asking how it was: "Young master is too honest. In fact, it is enough to thank the government twice."
"Everyone thinks that he asked to see Mrs. Wu to thank him for saving his life in Surabaya. Otherwise?" It's not like I'm yearning for the immortal beauty of that young lady, don't think about it!
"I would say it's superfluous." Chen Er was not a follower, so he had the right to complain, "You adults just like these polite things. What's there to say thank you for? What can I get out of thanking you again and again?"
As he finished speaking, someone from his entourage said that the prefect was here.
"Master Xiang." The magistrate came forward with a smile on his face and saluted with clasped fists, "I drank too much these two times. I didn't wake up until now, and I just learned about the origin of your family. The Xiang family in Taiyuan Prefecture has been a family member for several generations. I was so rude and disrespectful.¡±
It would not be too rude for a small prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture to know that their family is deep. The followers of the Xiang family looked a little happy.
"That's right, we have a rule here." The magistrate said, holding Xiang Nan's hand, "Every wealthy family who comes to our city must pay an entrance fee. Mr. Xiang, I will thank you on behalf of the people of Guangzhou Prefecture. ¡±
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was stunned.
The Xiang family¡¯s entourage was stunned, Chen Er smacked his lips: ¡°Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you for the money!¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
