The guards of crossing, please serve

She was dressed in light yellow clothes, clean from head to toe, but her eyes were still red, and it was obvious that she had just cried a lot.

Shen Qing brought him the freshly baked snacks, which were bunny-shaped buns filled with sesame stuffing.On the bulging white bun, there are red eyes made of cherry flesh, which looks a bit like Ran Xiaoguai.Xiaoguai held it in his hand, and was a bit reluctant to bite it.

"Little boy, are you... are you alright?" Seeing Ran Degao sitting beside him, Ran Mingyuan could only insinuate.

"It's okay." Ran Xiaoguai's crisp answer made Ran Mingyuan feel uneasy.

Ran Degao glanced at Ran Mingyuan, and quietly asked, "When will Mr. Fu come?"

"It is estimated that it will take another five or six days."

"Then when he comes, let's meet first." Ran Degao said lightly, making Ran Mingyuan and Shen Qing look at each other and smile - since they are willing to meet, there is great hope!

59. The reception of the son-in-law to clean the dust banquet...

"Report—" Bi Xiaoxin hurriedly ran to the study room, and said to Ran Degao and Ran Wangzhong who were discussing matters, and Ran Mingyuan who was sitting beside him in a daze: "Mr. Fu has just entered the city, and now he has just entered the government office."

"Okay!" Ran Degao put down the account book in hand: "Go and prepare the brazier, he will come later, and he is not allowed to come in unless he steps over the brazier."

Ran Wangzhong hurriedly asked: "Isn't crossing the brazier something you do when you get married? Degao, what did you ask Fu Mingxuan to step over the brazier?"

Ran Degao said straightforwardly: "If he really likes Xiaoguai, he can be Xiaoguai's wife. My Xiaoguai won't marry."

Ran Mingyuan curled his lips when he heard the words, Ran Degao would also have such childish moments, this Fu Mingxuan and Ran Xiaoguai, anyone with a discerning eye can tell who is up and who is down, why bother to deceive themselves?

Having said that, the palace is still fully prepared.Two hours later, the concierge received Fu Mingxuan's invitation and sent it in immediately.

"Invite him in quickly... No, no, it seems that we are very impatient. Why don't we let him wait for a while and see how his self-cultivation is..." While Ran Degao was talking to himself, Ran Mingyuan was impatiently asking someone to invite him Fu Mingxuan is here—look at Ran Xiaoguai's impatient face, I'm afraid Fu Mingxuan can afford to wait, he will go out first

So, as soon as Fu Mingxuan walked into the front yard, he saw hundreds of people crowded inside, and these hundreds of pairs of eyes were all focused on him.Even though he was used to seeing the big world, he still felt a little numb in his scalp.

"Brother Fu!" In the middle of the crowd, a small man squeezed out and waved desperately at him.When Fu Mingxuan saw that person, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and nodded to him.

"Hmph, our darling greeted him so warmly, but he just smiled and nodded a few times. How indifferent!" Ran Degao muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Actually, for him, smiling and nodding are already very enthusiastic expressions. Usually, he doesn't look straight at other people." This is Ran Mingyuan's sincere words, without any exaggeration.

Just as Fu Mingxuan was about to walk over, he was stopped by Ran Degao: "Mr. Fu, if you want to come in, please go through a pass first." Following his words, two guards brought out a copper basin, from which came a tall The flames looked a little scary.

"Daddy!" Before Fu Mingxuan could respond, Ran Xiaoguai glared at Ran Degao angrily: "Why did Daddy do this? Brother Fu is Xiaoguai's guest!"How can you do this to a guest!

Pushing Ran Xiaoguai, who was turning his elbow outward, to Ran Wangzhong, Ran Degao looked at Fu Mingxuan: "Mr. Fu, please step over the brazier."

Fu Mingxuan looked at him for a moment, walked to the brazier, lifted his hem and stepped over.Afterwards, he went straight to Ran Degao.

"Father-in-law, please accept my son-in-law's worship." Fu Mingxuan bowed to salute.

What father-in-law, you should be called father-in-law, of course not the eunuch's father-in-law, but the father-in-law of your husband's father... Ran Degao said in his heart, while looking up at Fu Mingxuan who was taller than himself.I sighed quietly in my heart: This young man is really imposing. After being looked at by him like this, I can't even say those words.

Ran Degao was only annoyed, but he didn't notice at all. Ever since he came up with the idea of ​​letting Fu Mingxuan step over the brazier, he had completely accepted the matter of Fu Mingxuan and Xiaoguai's marriage in his heart.

Ran Mingyuan came out for a long time, and they entered the inner hall together.Ran Mingyuan and Ran Degao sat at the top, Ran Wangzhong and Shen Qing sat on the left, and Fu Mingxuan and Ran Xiaoguai sat on the right.

Ran Xiaoguai blushed, his eyes were glued to Fu Mingxuan's face, and he never took his eyes off him. He never saw his father hating iron and steel: "I haven't seen you for so long, brother Fu looks even better, even better than Ran Ran." .

Fu Mingxuan also looked at Ran Xiaoguai as if no one else was there, and smiled softly at him. Seeing that Xiaoguai was doing well in the palace and seemed to be a little fatter, he was finally completely relieved.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Ran De cleared his voice three or four times before the two of them were separated from the atmosphere of looking at each other: "Young Master Fu, why are you here today?"

Fu Mingxuan got up, took out something from his sleeve and handed it over, saying: "I came here today to ask Ran Xiaoguai to marry me. This is the emperor's decree. I ask the emperor to personally marry me and Xiaoguai, just for the purpose of marrying Ran Xiaoguai. Prove my resolve to a few."

Ran Degao spread out the bright yellow scroll, took a deep breath when he saw the seal on the lower left corner, and Ran Mingyuan also poked his head to look, it was indeed the emperor's jade seal.Holding this item held some weight in his hand, and Ran Degao had to admit that Fu Mingxuan had put in a lot of effort to be with Xiaoguai, and even he was moved.

If it was said that he agreed to the two of them just to make Xiaoguai happy, then from this moment on, he also began to like the young man in front of him a little bit.

However, like it or not, some things still need to be made clear.Ran Degao put down the oracle, and said again: "I won't let Xiaoguai marry. If you want to be with him, marry him. How about it, can you do it?"

Fu Mingxuan said: "It's not that I don't agree with this matter, it's just that as a government official, I have to guard the government office. After we get married, I hope my father-in-law will allow me to live with me in the government office. Never cared."

Ran Degao began to hesitate: Although he couldn't see Xiaoguai all the time, he was still in the same city after all, and the distance between the palace and the government office was quite close, not to mention he could let Xiaoguai come back to live for a few days from time to time.Thinking about it, he raised his head and saw Xiaoguai looking at him eagerly, with a look of grievance that he was afraid that he would not agree, he shook his head helplessly, and said: "Then you ask Xiaoguai to come and listen."

Holding the teacup in his hands, Ran Mingyuan spit out all the tea he just drank, regardless of his appearance, he looked straight at Fu Mingxuan.I thought to myself: Ran Degao can really come up with ideas, Fu Mingxuan calls others Xianggong... It's fun to think about it.

Fu Mingxuan turned around, walked up to Xiaoguai and knelt down, touched Xiaoguai's side face, and called out softly: "Sir."

Ran Xiaoguai's face turned red all of a sudden, she twisted on the chair in embarrassment, and said softly, "Brother Fu."

Ran Mingyuan looked at him and felt awkward. Although Fu Mingxuan called her husband, he acted like he was calling her a lady, and Ran Xiaoguai...he probably won't be able to turn over in his life.

That night, Shen Qing used the gift that Fu Mingxuan brought to him - the rare spices from the emperor, and made a sumptuous feast to cleanse the dust.

Seafood lemongrass pancakes, braised sheep's trotters, basil fried eggs...the table is full, and the most popular one is the delicious large plate chicken in the middle, which is as big as a washbasin.The cut chicken, potatoes and peppers are fried together, and then stewed with various spices and water. The stewed chicken has the redness of peppers, the yellowness of chicken and potatoes, the greenness of green onions, and the whiteness of garlic. It tastes delicious. It is spicy in the middle, fresh in the spicy, the chicken is tender but not rotten, the potatoes are crispy but not mushy, and the leftover sauce is dipped in Shen Qing's homemade hand-rolled noodles, which is even more special.

At the dinner table, several people chatted while eating, and unconsciously they talked about Ran Xiaoguai crying for Fu Mingxuan a few days ago.

"Little boy, how did your father comfort you later?" Ran Mingyuan uttered the question that had been pent up in his heart for a few days. What kind of spell did Ran Degao use?

"Daddy said that there are gains and losses in life. If you want one thing, you have to give up the other. So Brother Fu didn't lose anything, he just made a choice. And Daddy said that he believes that Brother Fu is not an official for the sake of success, but In order to benefit the common people." After Ran Xiaoguai finished speaking, she looked at Fu Mingxuan naturally: "Brother Fu, is what Daddy said right?"

Fu Mingxuan nodded: "My father-in-law is quite right."

"You should call me father-in-law." Taking advantage of the relaxed atmosphere at the dinner table, Ran Degao hurriedly made the request.

Fu Mingxuan glanced at him, but didn't answer, just put a piece of chicken into Ran Xiaoguai's bowl: "Sir, eat more."

Ran Mingyuan couldn't help chuckling, but Ran Degao didn't know whether his face should look good or ugly.

After eating, Fu Mingxuan took out another envelope and handed it to Ran Mingyuan, "This time I came, and I brought another secret decree. The emperor has important matters to be handled by the prince. The emperor said that after the prince is done, he will give it to the prince immediately." Marriage to Young Master Shen."

60. Practice going to the Northwest...

"The reason why the emperor readily agreed to let me come here to serve as an official is actually to ask me to investigate one thing. There are many silver mines in the northwest of our country, all of which are heavily guarded by the imperial court, and are limited to the imperial court and a few big banks. However, recently, it was discovered that these silver mines were inexplicably lost, and a steady stream of silver was transported to the south of the Yangtze River.”

In the study late at night, Ran Xiaoguai had already fallen asleep, Fu Ming
