Chapter 162: Repay Gu Chen
"No need for me to take action, Yanyan can handle it by herself."
Qin Han raised his hand to help her up.
"I just can't stand the way the prince looks so domineering. If I don't dampen his spirit, I'm afraid he will forget his true form."
"You can't stand him either?" Xin Nianyan chuckled.
"If you don't do your job properly and don't know what you mean, it's unsightly." Qin Han clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Xin Wenyuan:……
So is it really okay to say that the prince of a country is good?
Can the eldest daughter and future son-in-law stop pretending that he doesn’t exist?
"If father thinks that the prince's words are reasonable, Yan'er will naturally be willing to hand over the authority of the head of the family."
Xin Nianyan turned around and looked at Xin Wenyuan.
Qin Han also looked at him, with a smile on his lips.
"The Prime Minister does not need to pay attention to this king. If the prince does not join in the fun, I will naturally not interfere in the family affairs of the prime minister's house."
That's what I say, but...
Xin Wenyuan's eyelids twitched. He was not blind. He looked at Xin Nianyan and said seriously: "Headmaster Yan'er has managed the internal affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion in an orderly manner during this period. Naturally, he is the most suitable candidate."
"Thank you father for your approval, then Yan'er will resign first."
Xin Nianyan resigned and left the study with Qin Han.
Xin Wenyuan breathed a long sigh of relief and then sat back on the main seat, his back was soaked with sweat.
Finally the two giant Buddhas were sent away.
There were footsteps at the door again. He quickly stood up nervously and looked over, only to see Gu Shuang walking towards him with a smile.
"What's the matter, sir?"
"It's okay. Is mother's dinner ready?" Xin Wenyuan felt relieved and walked towards her.
Gu Shuang nodded, "You can go to Jingxinyuan with me. Mom said yesterday that you haven't seen her for a long time."
Xin Wenyuan took her hand and nodded in agreement.
The anger he felt in front of the prince just now and the discomfort caused by the confrontation between the two disappeared in an instant.
Xin Nianyan, who walked outside, paused and looked back.
I happened to see the two of them coming out of the study together with smiles on their faces, the smiles on their faces were very relaxed.
Meeting Gu Shuang was a real advantage to him.
With such a wife, you can enjoy peace and tranquility for the rest of your life.
…
Time flies and three days pass.
Today is the day when the prince leads the troops to go on an expedition. The troops that had returned with the Duke had reorganized their armaments, and this time they returned to the northern battlefield together with General Prince Qiu.
Early in the morning, Qiu Lier came to see Xin Nianyan.
She was going to send her father off to the war, and Xin Nianyan, her closest confidant, was going to see her off with him.
Qiu Li'er was wearing a light blue shorts, and her whole body was not as energetic as usual, and she was a little wilted.
Xin Nianyan comforted her and went out. Instead of arranging the Xiangfu's carriage, he took Qiu Lier's carriage directly.
The two got in the car and left. After a while, another carriage arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The person inside opened the curtain, and it was the infamous Gu Jiaojiao.
Soon, Xin Rouer also came out, driving a carriage with her to the city gate to see the prince off.
When the prince went on an expedition, people all over the city sent him off, and the streets and gates were crowded with people.
At the gate of the city, the army was arrayed and ready, ready for action at any time.
On the other side of the prince's side, Xin Rou'er almost burst into tears and said goodbye to Qin Yan reluctantly, unable to part with her.
Qiu Xuanji's side was much simpler. Xin Nianyan stood beside Qiu Li'er, while Qiu Li'er lowered her head and listened to her father's instructions, nodding in agreement.
There is no mistress in the Qiu family. After Qiu Xuanji leaves, Qiu Lier is the only one left to take care of the house. There are indeed many things that need attention.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Qiu Xuanji patted his daughter on the shoulder and looked at Xin Nianyan.
"Ms. Xin, Li'er has been living alone since she was a child. You are the only good friend she has a good relationship with. During the time when Qiu is away, I would like to ask you to take care of her."
Xin Nianyan nodded.
"General, don't worry."
As the time for the expedition arrived, a trumpet sound resounded throughout the world.
Qiu Lier's eyes were red, and she stepped forward and hugged Qiu Xuanji.
"Dad, come back soon. My daughter is still waiting for you to come back and watch her get married."
Qiu Xuanji patted her back, his eyes turning red.
"Okay, dad will come back after finishing this battle."
The deafening sound of military bugles spread over the city wall to the sky, as if the battlefield of armed and iron horses was right in front of us.
General Shenwei and the prince got on their horses and rode towards the front of the army amidst the farewells of the people in the city.
"Set off!"
The prince gave an order, the sound of horse hooves sounded everywhere, and the army under the city officially embarked on the road to Pingbei.
Qiu Lier stood at the door until the dust raised by the army subsided, then turned around and returned to the city.
For nearly an hour, Xin Nianyan kept standing like this with her.
The two returned to the carriage. Qiu Li'er pulled Xin Nianyan into the carriage and was about to order the coachman to drive, but was grabbed by Xin Nianyan.
Xin Nianyan was lifting the curtain on the side of the carriage and looking outside.
Qiu Li'er followed her gaze without knowing why, and saw Xin Rou'er and Gu Jiaojiao talking under the wall on one side.
Their carriage and horses were close to the city wall, and the two people there did not pay attention to this side.
"Rou'er, just accompany me to Ning Yuxuan to order clothes!"
"Tomorrow my mother is going to Jiaoshan Temple to worship Buddha. My brother is accompanying her. No one is with me. It's so boring to be alone!"
"How about you come with me and I'll order a dress for you too!"
Xin Rouer was originally unwilling to go. After all, she didn't have the money to buy clothes now. It would be boring to just go with others.
But when Gu Jiaojiao said he wanted to make a set for her, she was tempted and nodded happily.
"You accompany me to send the prince off to the expedition today, and I should naturally accompany you tomorrow. Just come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find me tomorrow."
…
Xin Nianyan quietly lowered the curtain and looked at Qiu Li'er.
"Let's go, Sister Qiu."
Qiu Li'er didn't know why, but she didn't ask any more questions. She called to the driver and the Qiu Mansion's carriage drove towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xin Nianyan wrote a letter and handed it to Xiaozhu.
"Miss, what is this?"
Xiaozhu picked it up and asked puzzledly.
"Send it to Liuyun Pavilion for me and give it to Han Lu."
Xin Nianyan smiled with interest and said to Xiaozhu.
"Okay." Xiaozhu accepted the order, turned around and left.
Liuyun Pavilion is now regarded as a handover point between Xin Nianyan and Feiyan Pavilion. If you have anything to say, just tell Han Lu and ask her to convey it.
What she just wrote was what she accidentally heard at the city gate today.
Jiaoshan Temple is not very close to Beijing, it took at least three hours to travel.
On this road, there is Qinglin Mountain, where mountain banditry is extremely serious, and powerful dignitaries are specially selected to rob the rich and give to the poor.
In her letter just now, she simply asked the people of Feiyan Pavilion to reveal to Qinglin Mountain that Mrs. Pingnan Wang was going to worship Buddha tomorrow.
As for what the outcome will be, she only needs to watch from the other side.
