September is full of flowers

Back in front of the tall Prime Minister's Mansion again, Shen Man stopped at the door and looked up at the golden lacquer imperial plaque for a long time.

She left here with fate, but had to come back.But this time when she came back, it was different from the previous few times. She was accompanied by Tang Jiuyue, the gate supervisor of the Dafeng Dynasty. With her, she was much more confident.

"Gate supervisor, when I see my grandfather later, if he asks about my situation, how should I answer?"

Tang Jiuyue slowly walked up the stairs and said, "If he wants to question you, he has to pass through the prison first. If you want to officially leave the prime minister's mansion and return to the Yinyang prison with me, you have to face this moment."

Shen Man looked at her profile and felt that her tone of speaking was not as relaxed as before.I thought that this matter must be difficult to handle, but at the same time, I was also happy because Tang Jiuyue's words fully revealed the meaning of defending herself.From now on, Shen Man would be sincerely satisfied if he could stay by Tang Jiuyue's side.

"Gate supervisor, I still don't know something." Shen Man raised his footsteps and followed.

"what's up?"

Shen Man frowned and said, "Didn't the supervisor of the gate already reach an agreement with Concubine Ning not to let Prime Minister Ning know about Ning Chun's coma in the palace? Will it make Prime Minister Ning suspicious when he comes to the Prime Minister's mansion now? If it happens that the imperial concubine has passed away Said, are we not throwing ourselves into a trap?"

Tang Jiuyue did not answer immediately.

When the guards at the gate of Xiangfu saw the carriage, they greeted it from a distance. One trotted in to report, while the other two hurriedly opened the door.According to the rules of the Feng Dynasty, if the visitor is of the same rank or high as the master of the mansion, even if the master of the mansion is not there, he must be welcomed into the front hall to serve tea, and the important officials of the court cannot be allowed to wait outside.

When Tang Jiuyue walked through the first tower, she watched the scenery below.Compared with the undisguised luxury of Shang Shuling's home, the wealth of the Xiang's mansion is hidden inside.This is enough to show the fact that Ning Xiang is an old fox.

Perhaps Tang Jiuyue had worn the mask for a long time. She lowered her head and loosened the strap of the mask, held the bone china mask in her hand, and said to Shen Man without a word, "Don't worry too much about the things you asked. Because Concubine Ning Gui She also wants to calm things down, she won't be so stupid as to cut off the convenient way of being a supervisor at this very moment."

At this moment, the breeze blew, and the white robes fluttered.

Tang Jiuyue continued, "And since you have decided to sever ties with the Xiangfu, first of all, you must get something back from the Xiangfu in order to rectify your status."

Shen Man's heart skipped a beat, and he said in surprise, "Hutie?"

Tang Jiuyue nodded lightly, "Yes."

Shen Man pinched the corner of his clothes tightly with his hands, and his eyes seemed to be a little red. "Thank you gatekeeper!"

When you came back this time, besides investigating the murder case, you also wanted to get an account for me?

Tang Jiuyue looked far away, watching a shadow hurriedly approaching from the road ahead, and said, "It seems that Ning Xiangye didn't turn us away, which was beyond my expectation. Let's go, don't let your grandfather Wait anxiously, maybe he misses you a lot."

Shen Man smiled wryly, "I miss him a lot too."

"Huh?" Tang Jiuyue faltered, as if suddenly thinking of something, she asked, "If one day my grandfather and I were enemies, which side would you be on?"

Shen Man said without thinking, "Your side."

Tang Jiuyue frowned and continued to ask, "If your parents and I were enemies, which side would you be on?"

"With my parents?" Shen Man paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You can't be against my parents, my parents are gone, how can you be against them?"

Tang Jiuyue was silent for a while, then turned and continued towards the person who greeted them.

The man took them all the way to the three-in-one meeting room in the prime minister's mansion.Still the same decoration, the same solemnity.The smell of sandalwood in the house is very weak, but it smells very relaxing.

Ning Xiang wanted to put on airs, but Shen Man waited for a while after they were seated, but he still didn't show up.

"The fragrance in this room seems to have been smelled somewhere." Shen Man said to himself.

"Huh?" Tang Jiuyue also sniffed it carefully, with a flash of elite light in her eyes, she smiled, "That's true."

"The guard at the gate has been waiting for a long time." A confident voice came from the front.I saw Ning Xiang standing upright with his hands behind his back, his eagle-like gaze swept over the two of them, and finally fixed his gaze on Shen Man.

This alluring gaze made Shen Man very uncomfortable, and his palms were slightly sweaty.

Tang Jiuyue bowed slightly to Ning Xiang and said, "Then I will bother Ning Xiang today."

Ning Xiang put on a smile but didn't smile, "Where is it, it's rare that the supervisor of the gate is willing to come to my Xiang's mansion, so why bother to talk about it." Then he moved his front and sat down.

"The gate supervisor is here - why?" Ning Xiang looked down at the tea leaves floating in the cup, not only ignoring Shen Man, but also directly ignoring Tang Jiuyue, as if he didn't take her seriously.

"Is Mr. Ning Tao in the mansion?" Tang Jiuyue asked suddenly.

Ning Xiang was taken aback, and asked cautiously, "Why did you ask Tao'er, did he commit a crime?"

"That's not true," Tang Jiuyue said with an apologetic smile, "It's just that I heard that the third son Ning has reached the age to discuss marriage. As the gate supervisor of this dynasty, I naturally have the responsibility to find a wife for the third son."

Ning Xiang snorted and said, "Tao'er's matter has its own truth, and there is no need for the gate supervisor to worry about it."

"So, the third master Ning is not in the mansion?" Tang Jiuyue supported the chair and said leisurely, "In the past, I only heard about Mr. Ning Xu, but I have never heard of this Mr. Ning Tao. Now, Ning Xu has Now that he's gone, Master Xiang will love this cynical third son even more, right?"

Ning Xiang stared at Tang Jiuyue, wondering what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

Tang Jiuyue calmed down and said solemnly, "If Master Xiang finds a good family, please come to my Tai Pavilion with two horoscopes. In order to make up for the regret of the second young master, the supervisor will do his best to make up for Ning Xiang."

Ning Xiang's beard moved.

"One other thing," Tang Jiuyue cleared her throat and said, "I also ask Prime Minister Ning to do my supervisor a face and hand over Miss Shen's account to the Taige."

Ning Xiang glanced at Shen Man from the corner of his eye, and asked, "Shen Man is the granddaughter of the prime minister, and it is only natural that the account post should be in the prime minister's mansion. I don't know why the gate supervisor wants to take it?"

Shen Man's heart raised her throat. Although she believed in Tang Jiuyue, she still felt a little worried when facing Ning Xiang.

After all, Ning Xiang has been in the court for many years and has many wings.Although Tang Jiuyue was the gate supervisor of the current dynasty, it was a pity that she was too young after all.Even though there are contacts left by the former gate supervisor, most of them are her elders, so it may not be useful in a direct conflict with Ning Xiang.

There was a moment of silence around, and finally, Tang Jiuyue's quiet voice rang out. Although the volume was not loud, it was enough to make people feel the weight of it.

"Because our supervisor wants to take Shen Man as an apprentice, take her into the Taige, and teach her skills in person. Those who enter my Taige must have an account registration in order to be able to do it. I also ask the Prime Minister to allow it."

Shen Man was dumbfounded, and looked at Tang Jiuyue in a daze.

Ning Xiang also seemed to be stunned, and didn't know how to react for a long time.

The admission of disciples by the gate supervisor is not only a matter for the gate supervisor alone, but also a matter for the entire Dafeng Dynasty.Generally speaking, the supervisors of previous gates accept three apprentices, one male and two female.After being cultivated and taught, the gate supervisor will select one of the three to take over.As for the other two, they will disappear without exception, and no one knows how.

This man and two women were not randomly selected. Generally speaking, they had to pass the Dafeng Dynasty's Yin-Yang Dao Examination, and at least two subjects and three yuan were eligible to be listed on the selection list of disciples supervised by the gate.

When Tang Jiuyue was accepted as a disciple by the previous gate supervisor, her own talent had already been affirmed by the world.Of the nine unique schools of Yin-Yang Dao, she is the only one in eight of them.In the exam, Tang Jiuyue completed all the difficult problems with amazing speed and quality, becoming No.1 since the opening of the Dafeng Dynasty.Even when he took the post of gate supervisor to accept apprentices, he was so happy that he could laugh out loud when he went to bed at night.

To become a disciple of the gate supervisor not only needs talent, but also needs outstanding background.

Shen Man in front of him has mediocre aptitude, fierce horoscope, and disgraceful background.It was beyond Ning Xiang's expectation that Tang Jiuyue could personally say that she would be accepted as an apprentice.

Even if Ning Xiang and Tang Jiuyue were at odds, if Shen Man could become the disciple of the gate supervisor, there would be a one-third chance of becoming the next gate supervisor of Dafeng Dynasty.In the final analysis, Shen Man still has his own blood. If he can study Yin and Yang Dao, it will be beneficial to Ning Xiangfu.

For many years, Ning Xiang wanted to place his own people in the Tai Pavilion, but the Tai Pavilion was as solid as gold, like an iron bucket that could not be broken no matter how soft or hard it was.In the beginning, Ning Xu also wanted to get more benefits for the Prime Minister's Mansion, and got a glimpse of the door with his talent, but died unexpectedly in Chenzhou, which was one of the reasons for Ning Xiang's heartache.But now there is a great opportunity in front of him, and Tang Jiuyue personally sent it, how can he give up?

Although Ning Xiang's heart was full of turmoil, there were not many expressions on his face.

"The gate supervisor really wants to take Shen Man as a disciple?" Ning Xiang's tone softened significantly.

Shen Man raised his heart again.

"What the supervisor said still counts."

"Then the emperor..."

"My supervisor will deal with it, and Ning Xiang will help me, won't he?" Tang Jiuyue said with a confident smile.

"Hahaha," Ning Xiang laughed suddenly, "Da Dao Jian, do you really think that the truth is that you will throw out the 'Da Dao Jian's disciples' so seriously in order to get a small account for Shen Man?" chips?"

Tang Jiuyue said indifferently, "If Ning Xiang really doesn't believe it, there is nothing the supervisor can do. Shen Man, let's go back to Taige."

"Wait," Ning Xiang saw that they were really going to leave, and couldn't help but stop him, "If the superintendent of the gate can fulfill his promise, Man'er's account will be sent naturally."

Shen Man's body froze.

Man'er?

Since entering Beijing, my grandfather has never called himself this way.Can the identity of a gatekeeper really affect the blood relationship?

"Well, if this is the case, there will be Lao Ning." Tang Jiuyue's eyes were so deep that no one could see through, "Also, Shen Man will live in the Tai Pavilion these days. She came out in a hurry, and some things are still left behind. Xiangfu, I hope that Xiangxiang can make it easier for Shen Man to go back to the house to pack his things."

"Naturally." Ning Xiang agreed, "But the account post can only be sent after Man'er officially apprentices."

"Okay." Tang Jiuyue told Shen Man, "Go to the place where you lived before and clean up."

"Yes." Although Shen Man didn't feel that there was anything to take away, he still obediently went to the original residence to take a look, so as not to really miss important things.

"Xiao Man," Tang Jiuyue took a step forward, and ordered in a low voice, "You must find Feng Linjue."
