People always think I'm a broken sleeve

Xie Qingyun and Xie Daochen left the mansion, and Su Bian returned to the mansion.

Su Bian came to the lobby, sat on the main seat in the lobby, and poured himself a glass of cold water.After taking a sip, he tiredly raised his hand and began to press his temples.

Yin time is converted into a 24-hour system, which is from three to five in the morning.

Get up early to go to work at 21:[-] in the morning, even in the [-]st century, when you have not traveled to this world, you have never woken up so early.

Not long after Su Bian sat in the lobby, Bizhu tied up the horse and returned to the lobby.

Bizhu looked at Su Bian and said, "My lord, many people came outside the door today, and they all came to give you gifts. Some of them invited you to your house as just now."

Without raising his head, Su Bian asked, "Did you accept the gift?"

Bi Zhu hurriedly shook her head and said: "Without the consent of the adults, how can the slaves dare to accept it?"

Although she does look very greedy, she really wants to accept it... After all, the mansion is short of money right now.

Su Bianen let out a sigh, and said, "If someone comes to give you a gift later, all of them will be declined."

Although it is true that the mansion is short of money, one thing more is worse than one thing less. After accepting the money, who knows what kind of trouble will come to the door.

- Enough troubles for now.

After Bizhu respectfully answered yes, Su Bian continued: "Afterwards, someone came to the mansion and said directly that I was not here."

Bi Zhu bowed, "Yes."

After Bizhu's words fell, Su Bian turned around and went back to bed to catch up on sleep.

Xuanfu.

Su Bian's performance in court today can be said to make Xuan Yue particularly 'satisfied'.

So he became more and more interested in Su Bian.

The lotus in the pond in the Begonia Garden has already bloomed, and the fragrance of the lotus is lingering.

The fish that died in the pond last time have been salvaged by the servants, and new fry have been put in.

Xuan Yue stood on the arched bridge by the pool, while casually watching the small fish swimming in the eating pool, without looking back, he asked, "What time is it now?"

Wan Gaozhan, who was standing behind him, replied respectfully: "Back to the master, it's noon."

At noon, a morning has passed.

Xuanyue reckoned that Su Bian had almost returned to his residence, so he said, "Go and invite Lord Jiuqing to come over, and say that I invited him to watch a play."

After these few days of hard work, Wan Gaozhan has fully understood the "importance" of Su Bian to Xuanyue, so naturally only Wan Gaozhan was the one who went to the Zhuang Mansion to invite someone.

Wan Gaozhan replied: "Yes."

Wan Gaozhan finished his reply, but then, Xuan Yue changed his words again when he thought of Su Bian's temperament of wanting to avoid him.

Xuan Yue changed his words: "No, just say that I have urgent matters to discuss with Lord Jiuqing."

Wan Gaozhan bowed his head and replied: "Yes."

Wan Gaozhan backed away slowly, and was about to turn around and leave, when Xuan Yue's voice suddenly rang out.

Xuanyue said: "Wait."

Wan Gaozhan raised his eyes subconsciously, and looked at Xuan Yue with an inexplicable expression on his face.

Xuanyue said: "You stay in the mansion, I will go in person."

Wan Gaozhan was taken aback for a while, and then Wan Gaozhan responded: "Yes."

After finishing speaking, Xuan Yue acted as if he couldn't wait a long time ago, took off the brocade fur that he was wearing on his body, threw it to the servants beside him, and left the mansion.

Not long after Xuan Yue left, Chang Huai came outside the gate of Xuan Mansion.

The door boy saw Chang Huai, and said, "My lord, what is the purpose of coming to Xuanfu?"

Chang Huai paused, and said: "I just have nothing to do, so I just wanted to visit Mr. Guowei to catch up on the old days."

The doorman said in a soft voice: "Our lord has just left the mansion, we are not in the mansion, please go back, lord."

Chang Huai was taken aback for a moment, seemed a little surprised, and said, "Where did Lord Lieutenant go?"

The doorman shook his head, "The little one can't tell you."

Without the permission of Xuan Yue or Wan Gaozhan, the servants in the mansion are not allowed to disclose the master's whereabouts.

Even if the opponent is Chang Huai who has been behind Xuan Yue for many years, it is the same.

Chang Huai was also well aware of this.

Chang Huai said in a daze, feeling sad.

Then, he continued: "I know."

The doorman slowly closed the door of Xuanfu again.

Standing outside the Xuanfu, Chang Huai quietly looked at the closed gate of the Xuanfu, feeling gloomy in his heart.

Even though he has been with Xuanyue for so many years, Xuanyue still never regards him as 'one of his own'.

Chang Huai lowered his eyes quietly.

Chang Huai stood where he was, looking at the street outside Xuanfu, his eyes were blank.

The servant waiting at the side couldn't help asking: "...My lord, where are you going now?"

Chang Huai closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he instantly returned to his previous calm and self-control, calm in the face of everything.

Chang Huai stepped forward, sat in the sedan chair, and said, "Go to Feng's residence."

The servant answered yes, and then shouted: "Get up the sedan chair—go to Feng's residence—"

Mu House.

After being resolutely rejected by Su Bian, the servants took the sedan chair and returned to Mu's residence in despair.

Standing in front of Mu Hongyuan and Mu Rui, the servant said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Master, Lord Jiuqing... I declined."

After hearing this, Mu Hongyuan frowned, and asked without thinking, "What did Lord Jiuqing say?"

The servant replied: "Master Jiuqing didn't say much, he just said that he was not interested, so that the little one should stop wasting his thoughts in vain..."

When Mu Hongyuan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and scolded: "Master Jiuqing just said a few words, and then you came back in such a disgruntled manner?"

The next person's language is condensed.

The servant replied in a low voice: "I see that Lord Jiuqing doesn't like oil and salt at first glance, how dare he go up and disturb Lord Jiuqing again. And I heard from the maid next to Lord Jiuqing that today I will give you a lot of money."

Lord Jiuqing not only gave gifts to our Mu Mansion, but other mansions as well. "

Hearing this, Mu Hongyuan's face suddenly darkened.

Mu Rui, who was sitting on the side, said calmly: "Father, it seems that the newly appointed Lord Jiuqing is also the same as the admiral, who will not be soft and hard. Let's stop putting hot faces on people's cold asses.

"

Mu Hongyuan said in displeasure: "What do you know? Lord Jiuqing holds a high position and holds great power. If we want to gain a firm foothold in the capital, we rely on a hot face and a cold ass. Besides, you just now

I also heard that not only our Mu Mansion, other mansions are also trying to curry favor with Lord Jiuqing! "

Murui snorted coldly, with a look of disapproval: "So what if we try to please you? We can't even see her face."

Hearing what Mu Rui said, Mu Hongyuan fell into deep thought.

If they give up now and let other governments seize the opportunity, then it will not be such a simple matter of hot faces and cold butts.

So, no matter what, I will invite Su Bian today.

After thinking about it, Mu Hongyuan said: "You go to the Zhuang Mansion to invite Lord Jiuqing in person."

As soon as Mu Rui heard it, he subconsciously blurted out: "Father, you are not dead yet..."

Before Mu Rui's heart was spoken, Mu Hongyuan cut him off quickly and said, "If you can't invite Mrs. Jiuqing today, those male favorites in your room will not be able to continue

Stayed in Mu Mansion. "

After Mu Hongyuan finished speaking, Mu Rui's voice stopped abruptly.
