Powerful ministers are husbands

It's the last day.

Not only Zhang Mu and Xue Jinyi were nervous, but Pang Miao, who was forced to stay in Tingsongyuan all day, was also nervous.

If there were no problems with the two former Yan Kings, he would seize the only chance to go to Cao Zheng to explain the situation.It's not difficult to meet Cao Zheng, because today is a day for the family to eat together, the key is that there are temporary changes.

Pang Miao put down the brush, and there was already a thick stack of copied house rules in the corner of the case.He stretched himself, and looked at the one he had written just now——because his mood was not at peace, his strokes were stagnant, and his handwriting was dull, but it was still correct.

"Miss Jinxiu, Aunt Ru has something to say to the young madam." The voice of the old woman faintly sounded outside.During this period of time at Cao's house, Pang Miao wanted to concentrate on copying books and not to be disturbed. Usually, Jinxiu would do it for him to explain or pass on messages, so that he could seldom show his face in front of others.

Pang Miao sat by the window and drank tea. From the half-open window, he could just see Ruyi's pink dress with a hundred butterflies and flowers.

"Speak." Pang Miao ordered, and when Cao Lv had something to say first, Ru Yi returned it, indicating that Madam Cao must have something important to convey.

Ru Yi didn't enter the house, she just stood on the porch and talked.

"Madam told me that today's dinner, Young Madam, can be used in the house. You don't have to go to the dining room, and you must concentrate on remembering the family rules." Her voice raised slightly, but she showed a little humility. Compared with his attitude, he is like two different people.

Unreasonable irritability came to mind, Pang Miao put down the teacup, most of the cup was hanging outside the edge of the table, almost knocked over, but fortunately Jinxiu had quick eyes and quick hands.

"Young madam understands, thank you Aunt Ru." Jinxiu went out to answer on her behalf.

Ru Yi didn't say much, and immediately went back to the courtyard with her maid.

Jinxiu asked Pang Miao in a low voice, "Master, how can we meet the master?"

"Let me think about it again." Pang Miao pinched his eyebrows to calm down.

The maids and women gathered in the corridor to work as maids again, and the yard was extremely quiet, so it seemed that their chatter became clearer.In the huge mansion, there are many people and many things to do, and the master is not in front of him, so when he is free, he likes to get together and talk about family matters.

"Have you heard that Aunt Ru's elder brother and third elder brother have been promoted to the Imperial Capital Yamen?" Granny Cai whispered to the sisters beside her while weaving patterns with colorful ropes, "Where is the second elder brother from the county?" Cheng was promoted to county magistrate, and it is said that the family business is getting more and more prosperous, and my mother-in-law is going to put Aunt Ru under her name, and she will be regarded as a serious young lady in the future."

"It seems that Aunt Ru's natal family is going to be prosperous?" Wang Ma, who was squeezed next to Mrs. Cai, answered, "No wonder Aunt Ru's clothes have become brighter and more energetic recently, and she goes to Madam's place more frequently. You guys Look, Madam's message just now was for Aunt Ru to speak to the Young Madam, not to send the maids around her."

Mrs. Zhong, who stayed in the yard for the longest time, had a meaningful look on her face, "Oh, who would have thought that the aunt who was carried in a small sedan chair from the back door back then is getting harder and harder?"

"Mothers, from now on..." A little maid timidly looked at the main room and then at the side courtyard.

Mrs. Zhong slapped her on the thigh, "Why do you care so much? We can just do what we are supposed to do. It is never wrong to obey the eighth young master's orders."

The little maid nodded ignorantly.

Jinxiu looked at the indifferent young master, hesitated to speak, "Young master, young master..."

But Pang Miao didn't care about the gossip outside at all, he just asked, "What day is today?"

"The eighth day of the lunar new year." As soon as the words finished, Jinxiu suddenly remembered something, and Jinxiu grinned stupidly, her eyes were as bright as the brightest star in the night sky.

Pang Miao didn't notice the maid's abnormal expression, and smiled slightly, "I have a solution, now I'll wait for Zhang Mu to come back."

On the other hand, in the guest room on the third floor of the Chunfeng Building, the surveillance did not relax as the last moment was approaching, and was still under strict surveillance.

"By the way, after you finish this mission, won't you be able to go out of Cao's house more often?" Xue Jinyi raised the topic, after all, today is the last day.

Zhang Mu said solemnly: "As the guard of the Marquis of Jiyang's mansion, it is my duty to protect the safety of the mansion."

Xue Jinyi stroked his chin a few times, and asked politely: "Have you recruited any guards in the Marquis of Jiyang's Mansion recently? I'm not bad at work, and I'm serious about my work. I'm sure I can do it. Look, my father was demoted Well, the salary is so pitiful, I can’t sit still and let my father worry about me, right?” He lay down on the small table and poked Zhang Mu’s arm, “Is there anyone you can introduce?”

Zhang Mu moved back to avoid Xue Jinyi's fingers.

"Say it, tell it." Xue Jinyi looked at Zhang Mu sincerely.

Zhang Mu was so annoyed by him that he had no choice but to say, "Then I will test you first."

Xue Jinyi's eyes lit up, "Please tell me."

But Zhang Mu didn't say it immediately, but stared at Scarface and Lao Ding intently.

Xue Jinyi was stunned for a while, then followed his gaze, and saw that Scarface was still in high spirits playing swords and swords in the yard, and Lao Ding was drinking tea and watching, the two looked calm and relaxed It seems that he is happy to see Ji Yanghou tomorrow.

After a cup of tea, Scarface finished performing a set of knife skills, and Lao Ding's teacup had already been refilled once.

However, Zhang Mu's question still remained silent.

Scarface finished another set of swordsmanship, Xue Jinyi felt that his legs and feet were numb from squatting, grinned secretly, rubbed his calf, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Zhang Mu, what is the problem?"

Zhang Mu's eyes didn't even move away half a minute.

Xue Jinyi sighed, and shook Zhang Mu's thigh, "Let's talk, no matter whether the question is difficult or simple, I, Xue Jinyi, will definitely be able to answer you, and I sincerely want to follow you in Cao's house .”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Mu smiled faintly.

Xue Jinyi thought he had a nice smile, until a sentence came to his ears——

"Did you go to Jiyanghou's mansion to do business, or to watch people?"

"Uh..." Xue Jinyi was at a loss for words.

Zhang Mu patted him on the shoulder, "I'm sorry, but you are not suitable to be the guard of the Marquis of Jiyang. Maybe there is a more suitable one waiting for you."

Xue Jinyi was downcast.

In the courtyard downstairs, Lao Ding took out a handkerchief soaked in cold water, and carefully wiped the sweat off his scarred face.

Scarface was used to this, happily holding the soup bowl, gulping down water.

"Happy, happy, I can see Marquis Ji Yang tomorrow, things will be done, good days are waiting for us."

"Well, I don't know if Madam Cao Bashao has made arrangements, and will there be any accidents?" Lao Ding frowned slightly, with an uneasy expression on his face. He patted his companion on the shoulder and cautioned: "Be careful sailing for ten thousand years." , don't be so irritable, behave yourself, it will be bad if Marquis Ji Yang doesn't believe us."

"I get it, I get it." Scarface's temper was hot, but he still patiently agreed.

Xue Jinyi lay on the window sill, shaking his head and looking at the two people in the garden. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could tell something from their expressions.

"I didn't expect them to have such a good relationship. One is rough and savage, and the other is gentle. There are really unpredictable things in the world." He sighed, and after hearing Zhang Mu's answer, he had to drag him in, "You Are you right, Brother Zhang Mu?"

"We share weal and woe, and naturally support each other."

"..." Xue Jinyi sighed secretly.

After dark, Scarface and Lao Ding happily ate the meals delivered by Manager Tong.Zhang Mu looked at the time, it was time to report to Madam Ba Shao.

"Don't worry, I will stay there until dawn. If there is any problem, I will come to you immediately." Xue Jinyi patted his chest.

"Thank you brother Xue, I will come back when I have a chance in the future." Zhang Mu clasped his fists, and then quickly left Chunfeng Tower without looking back.

Xue Jinyi stretched his waist, got up and poured tea at the table, and the moment he turned around, a figure leaped lightly into the courtyard under the cover of night.
