Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow

"Yes. Hong Che, the second son of the Yongxing Marquis's Mansion, invited a group of young masters to come to the horse farm near Beishan to race horses today. They also took this route."

At this moment, with a "bang", a flare arrow sounded near Beishan.

"Sir, the fish that escaped the net has been caught." Xu Yuan said excitedly.

Since the day after Jiang Luo got drunk, Lu Jinan was assigned a task by Emperor Zhaoding.

The suburbs of the city have been in turmoil recently, with merchants and civilians passing by being robbed by nearby bandits, and in serious cases even being killed.

In a peaceful and prosperous era, near the outskirts of Beijing.

These bandits are so bold and arrogant, aren't they looking for death?

How could Emperor Zhaoding tolerate this? He immediately ordered Lu Jinan to lead the Jinyiwei to secretly seize the bandit’s lair.

The leader of the bandit group had some skills and secretly escaped from the hole he had dug, completely disregarding the lives of his other brothers.

He was actually allowed to hide for a few days.

Lu Jinan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked in the direction of the manor and ordered: "Sumu, you stay at Qingquan Manor and protect them. Xu Yuan, let's go."

Drop by?

Some are too coincidental...

He never believed in coincidences.

"Yes, sir." Su Mu turned and disappeared.

Lu Jinan and Xu Yuan rode their horses towards the North Mountain.

There is a horse farm at the foot of the North Mountain, which was awarded to the old Ningyang Marquis Ling Guang by the late emperor when he was still alive.

Although the horse farm and the Beishan Camp are both located at the foot of Beishan Mountain, one is in the northwest corner and the other is in the southeast corner, and they are quite far apart.

When the old Marquis of Ningyang was alive, he often trained the palace guards for the late emperor here.

Now it was Ling Xiao's generation, the Ningyang Marquis, who gave up military service and turned to literature to become a minister of the Great Yong Dynasty. This horse farm also became a horse farm for the descendants of the marquis to race horses.

It's indeed a coincidence.

Among Hong Che's friends there was a second young master Chu, who often hung out in brothels and had a reputation as a playboy just like Hong Che.

But everyone just follows his lead.

This is because he is not only the younger brother of Concubine Hui, the only one in the emperor's harem who gave birth to a prince, but his mother also has close ties with the Ningyang Marquis's Mansion and is the concubine sister of the Ningyang Marquis's wife.

Therefore, when Hong Che suggested that everyone go to the city to race horses tomorrow, this Mr. Chu waved his hand and said, "Since you guys are interested in horse racing, let's have a good time tomorrow. I'll take care of the horse farm."

Everyone complimented him again.

Bu Xue, who had been following Jiang Luo all the way, had already been discovered by Su Mu and informed to Lu Jinan.

The reason why Lu Jinan did not order him to be robbed and killed was that he wanted to see what this man was trying to do.

He didn’t learn martial arts and didn’t even realize that he had been exposed.

But as he followed the carriage, he found that the road was somewhat familiar. After careful recollection, he was sure that this was the road to the horse farm.

The uneasy heart that was originally caused by peeping was temporarily relieved. Since it was the way to the horse farm, it was on the way. Even if the people in the carriage discovered him, he had a reason.

So, when he reached the main road outside the gate of Qingquan Manor, he looked around boldly for a few times, then rode his horse and continued walking towards the horse farm.

Jiang Luo, not knowing what was about to happen, followed Xie Qing to the gate of the idle courtyard.

Jiang Luo looked up at the two characters "闲庭" written in flowing strokes on the door plaque and exclaimed, "Beautiful calligraphy, beautiful artistic conception!"

It turns out that Xianting is the name of this courtyard.

From this we can see how open-minded and noble the owner of this yard is.

Xie Qing smiled and replied: "If my father knew what Sister Luo said, he would definitely regard you as a confidant."

"Oh? Is this Mr. Xie's handwriting?"

Xie Qing nodded: "Yes. When the door plaque was hung, he also said "good artistic conception" just like Sister Luo just said!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Luo immediately felt even more respect and curiosity for Lord Xie, whom he had never met before.

"Sitting alone in the garden, not caring about worldly affairs. Lord Xie is truly an open-minded and bright person."

"Miss Jiang, you are so kind. I hope the old man won't hear it, otherwise his mustache will stick up to the sky." Mrs. Xie suddenly raised her voice from behind them.

Xie Qing smiled, turned around and walked quickly to her side, took her arm and called out, "Mother."

Jiang Luo also turned around and saluted with a smile on his face: "Jiang Luo greets Madam Xie."

After everyone exchanged greetings, Madam Xie personally helped her up and said, "Miss Jiang, there's no need to be so polite. We're here to relax today, so don't restrain yourself."

"Yes, Sister Luo, let's go in quickly." Xie Qing took her and Mrs. Xie's hands, and the three of them walked into the house side by side.

The courtyard, which is neither too big nor too small, is planted with seasonal flowers, pink, red, yellow, green... It is very beautiful at first glance.

When I was about to reach the corridor, I found that a small stream had been dug out between the east and west walls of the courtyard. At this time, the fish in it were swimming happily.

If you have free time, you can feed and enjoy the animals directly while sitting on the row of huanghuali wood armchairs under the corridor.

It’s really a good idea.

Jiang Luo lifted her skirt and squatted down. She reached out to touch the water. The slowly flowing stream water brushed across her slender hands with a slightly cool feeling, making her feel comfortable.

Xie Qing giggled: "Sister Luo, you are the same as me. Every time I come here, the first thing I do is to play with the stream water. Isn't it cool?"

Jiang Luo was no longer shy and nodded with a smile: "It's very cool."

Xie Qing also squatted down and reached out to tease the fish in the water with her.

Mrs. Xie did not feel dissatisfied with her casualness, nor did she think that she was ignorant of etiquette.

She felt that someone of Jiang Luo's age should be as lively and cheerful as he is now.

Besides, didn't her husband bring this running water into the yard just for his precious daughter to play with?

Playing alone or with two people is still playing, there is no difference.

Life is already difficult for women in this world, and there is no need for them to be dignified and serious every day.

Young ladies in the boudoir are bound by etiquette, and when they go out and get married, they are bound by rules again.

A woman's life is hard, so she can only take the opportunity to find joy in the midst of suffering.

Madam Xie let the two of them squat there and play. After all, there were a bunch of maids and old women behind them, so it didn't matter if their clothes got wet, because everything was fully prepared when they came.

She led Mother Wan into the house first, and told her to ask the kitchen to prepare delicious food and cold drinks for the two young ladies.

After an incense stick of time, the two of them got tired of playing. The maids behind them surrounded Xie Qing and Jiang Luo and went into the house to change into new clothes.

Rendong and Huayi brought clean water for them to wash their faces, while Wangyou and Siqi were busy putting makeup on them again.

The room is very lively.

After a busy period, the two of them went to see Mrs. Xie together.

At this time, Mrs. Xie was sitting under the porch feeding the fish. When the fish food was sprinkled down, the fish swarmed up and the fish food instantly went into their stomachs.

The fishes' eagerness to come forward pleased Mrs. Xie, and she smiled faintly.

"Mother, I'll take Sister Luo to the back mountain to have a look." Xie Qing said happily.

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie looked up at the sunlight and said teasingly, "It's already a bit hot, don't stay out too long. If you get tanned, don't come and cause trouble for me."

Jiang Luo was amused by Mrs. Xie's humor.

Who said Mrs. Xie was mean?
