Because the Holy Emperor set off in the afternoon, it was already approaching evening when the ceremonial guard entered the capital.

It was already evening when everyone actually returned home.

At this moment, the lights in the capital are brightly lit, and the streets and lanes are full of people finishing their work and going home.

After a day's work, the people laughed and chatted happily and prepared for a family dinner.

"I'm afraid the people in the capital still don't know that something happened in Jiangnan." Wen Yao sighed.

Jiangnan is a granary. If the disaster is really serious, not only the people in Jiangnan will starve to death.

Recalling that there was no famine after floods in his previous life, Xu Rongrong comforted him: "Now that the news has just entered the court, I believe the ministers in the court will find a way to solve it."

In front of the Xu Mansion, Xu Chaoqian invited everyone from the He Mansion to wait in front of the door.

The Xu family has a county head!He had a look of pride on his face.

Behind her, Mrs. Xu Liu had an expressionless face. If Xu Chaoqian hadn't shown off her authority as the head of the family, she wouldn't have come to greet that little bitch.

Xu Yaoyao stood next to Xu Liu. Although he didn't show it on his face, his palms under his clothes were already torn by nails.

The county chief's honor guard came slowly, and everyone in the Xu Mansion held their breath attentive.

As soon as Xu Rongrong's carriage stopped, he heard someone outside shouting: "I respectfully invite the Lord of Pingan County to return to the mansion."

This sound actually came from Xu Chaoqian himself.

Wen Yao also heard it. She covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Miss, you are now the highest-ranking person in our family. Even the master came out to greet you personally."

The position of county head is from the second rank.

Naturally, he is far higher than the sixth-rank Chaoyi Lang. Xu Rongrong is not surprised that Xu Chaoqian behaved like this.

She smoothed the wrinkles on her body and smiled lightly: "It's just a virtual step, with no real power."

"But..." She changed the topic, "It's enough to dominate this group of people from now on."

Because of her past life experience, she has always been well-groomed. At this time, she stepped out of the carriage with dignity and dignity, looking quite graceful and luxurious as a member of the royal family.

As if she just saw Xu Chaoqian who had been bending to salute, she smiled and stepped forward: "Father, you must never do this. Although your daughter has been granted the title of county lord by the emperor's favor, you and I, father and daughter, still have to follow family etiquette in the house. .”

Xu Chaoqian grinned: "County Master... Sister Rong is right."

The father and daughter entered together, followed closely by Luo Shu and Wen Yao.

As for Xu Liu and Xu Yaoyao who were still saluting, Xu Rongrong didn't even look at them when they passed by.

The rewards like water were unloaded from the carriage behind and delivered to the mansion one by one.

Xu Liu's eyes turned red with anger: "Let's see how long you can be arrogant!"

……

Dinner was served in Wutong Courtyard.

After Xu Rongrong came back, she discovered that the place had changed.

The originally dilapidated tables and chairs were now replaced with fine rosewood.

Luo Shu leaned against Wen Yao and bit his ear: "The master got this from the madam's yard. I heard that the madam cried all night."

The bed was replaced by agarwood, with a green tent hanging like smoke.

"This is what Madam prepared for Third Miss. It has not been used yet and was moved directly from the warehouse."

The dressing table placed in front of the window has a brand new look. It is carved with jasper plums and looks extremely exquisite.

"This is from the second lady's house."

There is a whole lotus screen in the middle of the house, which makes the house look extremely elegant.

"This is from the master's study."

There were also a lot of scattered ornaments, footstools, and candlesticks, which made Xu Rongrong feel strange to her room.

She looked at it carefully and said with a smile: "Father has taken the trouble, and the nobles in the palace share his thoughts and have given his daughter many practical boudoir items..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw a flash of joy on Xu Yaoyao's face.

how?Want to take it back?impossible.

Xu Rongrong continued: "But these are the father's wishes, so the daughter accepted them."

Xu Yaoyao: "..."

Xu Chaoqian smiled and nodded: "It should, it should!"

Mrs. Xu Liu on the side was unwilling to give up. She said sourly: "In order to add things to Sister Rong's room, I actually vacated the rooms of the second sister and the third sister in the past two days. Since Sister Rong has a reward, I want to Why don't you give some of the rewards that you won't need for the time being between the two sisters?"

It's a good thing to be rewarded by the palace.

After hearing what she said, Xu Rongrong responded with a smile: "Madam is right, I will ask the second sister to go to the warehouse to pick some. If you like anything, just take it."

Unexpectedly, she agreed so readily, and Mrs. Xu Liu was a little surprised.

But Xu Rongrong continued: "Although those objects have been given to me, they can only be used by most county masters. If they are seen by others, I am afraid it will damage my father's reputation. Therefore, the second sister still has to take them back." Hide better."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Chaoqian scolded Mrs. Xu Liu: "Nonsense! Can anyone use Sister Rong's things? Put away your petty thoughts!"

Xu Liushi was speechless and became more and more angry.

After untying it, the Xu Mansion family finished the reunion dinner in Wutong Courtyard with faces and hearts at odds.

……

And the other side.

After Mu Rong returned to Beijing, he did not go back to Weiyuan Hou Mansion, but went directly to Mu's house next door to Xu Mansion.

He returned to the room and changed clothes with Mu Yi's help.

Today's wound finally stopped bleeding, and the pain became much weaker, which made him feel much more relaxed.

His hair was untied and hanging down his head.

The white middle coat is slightly open, giving it a hint of laziness.

He sat on the couch, playing with the delicate porcelain bottle containing the ointment, and asked:

"How about over there?"

Mu Yi replied: "The eldest lady is now the county head. According to Mr. Xu...'s character, he will definitely hold her in the palm of his hand. Mr. Hou need not worry."

"Yes." Mu Rong nodded, "Although Xu Chaoqian is not a good character, he does have a bit of a wink."

Xu Chaoqian was the father-in-law of the Marquis. Although Mu Yi looked down on him, he did not dare to judge him in front of his master.

So he changed the subject: "Master Hou's complexion is much better now. The eldest lady is really powerful. I have only used this medicine twice and there has been such a big improvement."

Mu Rong's smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth: "This is natural, she is Rongrong."

Mu Yi: "..."

"What time is it now?" Mu Rong suddenly asked.

"Just after Xu time."

"Well...it's still early."

"??" Before Mu Yi could react, he saw his Lord Marquis tearing open his shirt and tearing off the bandage with force.

The wound immediately opened, and the blood gushing out was far less shocking than the previous two days, but such a sudden change was still scary enough.

Mu Yi was stunned: "Master Hou, this is..."

"Go to the next door and say something." Mu Rong seemed to be completely aware of the pain and smiled slightly, "Remember, be sure to speak harshly to me."

Mu Yi said again: "..."

His job is so difficult!
