Passing through the station

No matter how much Ruan Bai slandered in his heart, all he got was the letters from Chu Hao, and there was nothing nutritious in them.The previous paragraph was where I was. Without the hindrance of the prison car, the group of people hurried back to Shunyang Pass in less than half of the time they arrived.Most of the second half was about what to eat every day, it was so boring.

Ruan Bai's reply was similar, occasionally interspersed with some new dim sum recipes, and the recent situation of the general and his wife.

As for the official business, the two sides didn't even touch a word, which made Zhou's father and son who intercepted the information feel a little lost.

In fact, Zhou Xiaomao and Zhou Damao were the main losers... Cough, His Majesty the Emperor was not depressed at all, on the contrary, he was a little excited, and asked his son, "What's wrong with you? You are already a father." Now, why are you acting awkward like a child!" He was the one who wanted to read the letter from his brother, and now he was the one who seemed to have been beaten up after reading the letter.

Zhou Xiaomao pursed his lips and looked at his father speechlessly.If he wanted to be more mature, his father would say, "Who will show this picture? You will still be my son if you live to be 80!".Damn, it's hard being a son!

After all, it is his own son. Although he is not as good as other people's son/Chu Hao, and has many minor problems, he is not that bad after all.The emperor straightened his face: "Tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Zhou Xiaomao didn't twitch any more: "Father, I feel that the relationship between Chu Hao and this Ruan Bai doesn't look right." He doesn't have meticulous observation skills, but he has a keen animal instinct!

"Oh? What do you see?"

"I can't say anything, I just feel that the relationship between the two of them is too good to be like brothers." Not to mention that Ruan Bai is just a foster brother who came out halfway, even if he is a brother, born in a family like theirs, how can brothers and friends respect each other? of?The relationship between him and his second brother is not very good.

Besides, Ruan Bai said that he was Chu Hao's adopted brother, and even called Pingxi Wang and Wangfei's parents. It seemed that the relationship was close enough, but Ruan Bai and Cao Xu held a ceremony in a serious manner, which was regarded as sworn brothers.But what about Ruan Bai and Chu Hao?Everything so far has been just word of mouth.

However, this verbal relationship still seems to be the same thing, even stronger than Cao Xu's side.At least he can be sure that if Ruan Bai lives in General Cao's mansion, he can't just bulldoze a few courtyards just by bulldozing them.

There was some interest in the emperor's eyes, and he continued to ask: "Then what kind of relationship do you think they have?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at his father several times before slowly saying: "I feel that they are more like... a husband and wife. Like Erchen and Songsong... Cough, the Crown Princess is also like this. I talk about it every day. What did what..."

The emperor just looked at his stupid son and babbled for an hour, all about how deeply he and the princess were married.He really didn't know whether he should be comforted that his son and daughter-in-law are in a good relationship, or should he be worried that the relationship between the young couple is too good?

However, the relationship between Chu Hao and Ruan Bai... The emperor pondered for a moment, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and whispered to Eunuch Cai, who was waiting by the side: "Let's stop here." There is no need to intercept the letters of the two children.

They didn't know that if they withheld one more letter, they would be completely sure of the relationship between Chu Hao and Ruan Bai.

Because in the letters that follow, the two are discussing the preparations for the wedding.

Whether it's Chu Hao as the eldest son, or Ruan Bai as a local tyrant, the wedding of the two obviously cannot be done casually.

As far as Chu Hao was concerned, Princess Pingxi had already prepared a dowry gift for him almost since his birth.Of course, the man's dowry will be relatively simple.After all, the various large items that are popular these days are still mainly the dowry of the woman.For furniture such as various beds and tables, it is rare to find good and large wood, and it has to be dried in the shade for many years, plus all kinds of fine workmanship, to become a qualified dowry.Coupled with a lot of embroidery and so on, many boudoir girls will start to embroider dowry from the age of eleven or twelve, and it often takes several years.

Now that Chu Hao married a man, the rules in this regard will change.

Ruan Bai is more complicated here.His financial resources are not a problem, but many things cannot be settled with money.Still, deep pockets can make a lot of things easier.

In fact, Ruan Bai didn't realize this problem at first.His mind is still stuck on the trilogy of wedding company one-stop, buying a house, decorating and drinking wedding wine.I didn't expect that there would be many thieves and many thieves in Dazhou.

As the technical director, Ji Nandie was exhausted by this mess, and sighed: "Fortunately, Erlang is not a girl, otherwise, how can the hijab and wedding gown get ready now?"

No matter which era, men's clothes are always much simpler than women's, even wedding dresses.

If this is the case, the embroidery shop in the capital has also placed a lot of urgent orders, and it is fully activated.Some embroidery workshops even learned from Ruan Bailong's workshop, and built a courtyard in the embroidery workshop for the embroiderers to work together.

Not to mention, I don't know how much more efficient.

As the weather got colder, the frequency of letters from Chu Hao also became slower.Transportation is inconvenient these days. The only advantage is that as a privileged class, you don't have to worry about having no place to send express during the Spring Festival.After all, they are taking a private line.

But Ruan Bai became more and more anxious, and always felt that he was a little anxious before marriage.There's no way, he used to have an abnormal job and a bit of a dangerous job, he always thought it was for your own good, my good and everyone's good, he never thought about love and marriage at all.He even planned to be like his adoptive father a long time ago. If there is fate, when his job content becomes less... exciting, he may switch to a clerical job, and then consider whether to adopt a child or find a beautiful man. place to retire.

Anyway, he is an ordinary young man, suddenly he wants to marry a wealthy daughter/son, the pressure is not ordinary.And this kind of feeling of being a door-to-door son-in-law, don't want to eat soft food!

In Prince Pingxi's mansion, Xiao Zhong brought the two newly selected servants and two maids to familiarize themselves with the work content.The five of them have been trembling since the beginning, but now they have been able to calm down, watching their second young master come and go in circles like the wind in the yard.

When Ruan Bai turned in again, they just looked up out of obligation, but they didn't expect Ruan Bai to sit down directly and rolled up his sleeves: "Prepare the pen and ink."

"Yes!"

These four people are all seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are already considered elites among the servants. They were originally trained as servants and maids in each house.Not to mention literacy and hyphenation, general butlers are fine.It's just that the population of the palace is small, which has created a situation of excess talent.

Ruan Bai is going to train four people, professional managers don't think about it, it is still possible to be a secretary or assistant.It's hard to find documents.Today's scholars are very expensive, he doesn't want to use the name of the palace, and he doesn't have time to invite an ancestor to come back to make offerings.If he couldn't find it outside, he didn't believe that he couldn't cultivate one.

Preparing pens, inks, papers and inkstones is considered a job for these maids and servants, and they are ready in the blink of an eye.

Ruan Bai took the pen and began to write vigorously on the spread paper.

Ji Nandie sent someone to deliver things, and when he returned, he reported: "Ruan Ershao is busy in the study, and the villain has not seen me." He is the wife of the general, and Ruan Bai, a rabbit, dare not even show his face ,whispering sound.

Ji Nandie glanced at the butler with a half-smile, but didn't speak, and only said softly, "You should be called Second Biao Young Master."

When will it be his turn to talk about the master's affairs?Do you really think that if you become a housekeeper, you can really count your words in this family?

The butler was sweating profusely, knelt down and kowtowed: "Yes, the villain knows his mistake." But he was secretly jealous, didn't Ruan Bai rely on his face, not only to climb up to Prince Pingxi, but also Their mistress.I knew that kid was not a good guy. Sometimes when the general was not around, he would come to the door by himself, and he didn't know how to avoid suspicion at all.Now seeing how the mistress protects that kid, don't...

Ji Nandie waved his hand, told the butler to go down, and called the big maid over: "Tell people to keep an eye on him, and don't let him say anything that shouldn't be said."

The big servant girl replied softly: "Yes."

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Ruan Bai's actions are not small, and he didn't deliberately engage in any secrecy work. Anyone with eyes can see the preparations for marriage.

When the colleagues congratulated Ruan Bai one after another, they all asked him: "I don't know whose girl it is? When can I come to the house to disturb a cup of wedding wine?"

Ruan Bai slightly lowered his head and blushed and said, "It's not from the capital, but we met at Shunyang Pass. It's still early to get married, and we have to wait until the New Year's Eve at the earliest."

Those who are closer will ask: "Is the girl pretty? Is she particularly talented?"

"He looks just like that. His talent is... He is very smart, and he knows everything at first glance." Ruan Bai said so with a smile on his eyebrows, and he really liked it at first sight.

Some grown-ups who had other thoughts could only sigh in their hearts.Originally thinking that Ruan Bai was still young, and because of the rumors with Chu Hao before, even if they wanted to make a match for Ruan Bai, they always thought of waiting.Unexpectedly, after all this and so on, they already have a partner, and they are almost married.

That's right, who wouldn't hold onto someone like Ruan Bai?She has red lips and white teeth, a wealth of wealth, and a bright future. Even if her background is a bit poor, there is still a behemoth like Prince Pingxi's Mansion behind her.If a girl from any family can marry Ruan Bai, she will enjoy a good life.

Ruan Lang like this would actually marry a Shunyang...country girl? !

Ruan Bai didn't care what the officials thought, he took the thick pile of memorials he had written yesterday and asked to see the emperor, and he was taken to the imperial study by Xiao Xizi without even waiting.

The emperor quickly finished reading Ruan Bai's memorial, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.There are no less than ten thousand words on such a thick stack of paper.The above content is very simple to sum up. First, according to the format, he praised the emperor, praised Da Zhou, then listed his achievements to Da Zhou, and finally praised the emperor. Fan, by the way, find the emperor as a matchmaker.

"Ruan Lang wants me to protect you as a matchmaker?"

Ruan Bai looked at the emperor anxiously, nodded: "Ah."
