Early the next morning, Ye Siheng sent a signal, and the black armored guards came to Wanfo Temple.

Naturally, he also brought the luxurious black wooden carriage with him.

Lu Zheng rested for the night. Thanks to the repair of the demon pill, his injuries were almost intact and he was able to ride a carriage.

This was the first time that he and Ye Siheng were riding in a carriage together, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The carriage was still running smoothly, so Nan Li picked up Fu Zhuan's book again and looked at it carefully.

Ye Siheng had nothing to do with her, so she just looked at it.

However, he still specifically ordered the black-armored guards to slow down to make the carriage more stable and not to let Nan Li hurt her eyes.

Ye Siheng had a cold face. Seeing that Lu Zheng was a little at a loss, he said, "You are in the Hanlin Academy, are you doing well with your errands?"

"It's okay." Lu Zheng was a little surprised and hurriedly replied respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Ninth Prince."

"I have read your scientific examination article. It is indeed good. Do you want to be transferred to the staff department?" Yesi Heng asked.

The evaluation and promotion of officials in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is a place where human relations and sophistication are most powerful, and working there is very particular.

The reason why Ye Siheng felt that Lu Zheng was qualified was because he was the son of Prime Minister Lu, so he must have some knowledge about this area, and he would not be easily corrupted.

Lu Zheng was startled. Yesterday he decided to reimburse the court and atone for Yunzhi's sins. Now that Ye Siheng values ​​​​him, he was happy before it was too late. He was busy thanking him: "Everything is arranged by the Ninth Prince."

Yesi Heng nodded slightly.

The royal brother is already old and cannot do many things as he wishes.

If he wants to support Ye Chengyan, he must start training new officials so that Ye Chengyan can have someone available in the future.

After returning to Kyoto, the black-armored guards first detoured to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After learning that Lu Zheng had returned safely, the prime minister and his wife, who had been worried for several days, hurried out. When they saw that their son was indeed well, they immediately cried for joy.

Lu Yanyan's eyes were also red, and the injury on her neck healed immediately.

"Thank you, Ninth Princess!" Prime Minister Lu and his wife were about to kneel down to Nan Li.

They all saw how powerful the demon was that day. It must have taken a lot of effort for Nan Li to save her son from the demon.

Nan Li immediately took a step forward, supported the two of them steadily, and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. It is my duty to eliminate harm for the people. It would be better if there was some reward."

To put it bluntly, I just want money.

Lu Yanyan chuckled, "I knew you were like this."

She waved, and the maid came forward holding a wooden box.

After opening it, there were some silver and banknotes inside. Lu Yanyan added, "This is your reward for saving my brother. It's not much, so don't dislike it."

Nan Li arched her eyebrows and held it over, "That's enough, that's enough. This time I was able to conquer the fox demon, thanks to the help of Master Ling Zhen from Wanfo Temple. I will get half of the money from him."

The rest will be invested in the hospital.

After all, it is a medical clinic that does not accept cash. There are many people seeing patients every day, and the cost of medicinal materials is huge. It cannot be opened without some money to support it.

The two of them didn't stay much longer, got on the carriage and left.

But halfway, someone from Anyang Houfu came looking for him.

Without him, everyone in the Hou Mansion knew that Nan Li had brought Lu Zheng back today, and they guessed that she would have a fierce fight with the fox demon. Because they were too worried, they asked them to go to the Hou Mansion first.

Nan Li felt warm in her heart, so she asked the black-armored guard to change his route.

Seeing the black wooden carriage, the maid from the Hou Mansion immediately went in and announced: "Miss Sixth is back!"

"Li'er!"

"Sixth sister!"

Everyone was in the main hall. After hearing the announcement, including the old lady, they all stood up and couldn't wait to go out and see Nan Li.

As soon as Nan Li entered the front yard, he saw everyone in the main hall, all looking worried.

It could be seen that her steps were steady and there was no damage on her body, and her worried look finally faded away.

"Grandma, father, mother..." Nan Li felt relieved and called out some of his brothers.

The old lady held Nan Li's hand and looked back and forth, "I heard that the fox demon is fierce. Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm very fine." Nan Li shook her head gently.

The expressions of the old lady and Chu Hanlin and his wife softened slightly.

After everyone finished asking questions, they noticed Ye Siheng coming in from behind.

Chu Hanlin coughed lightly as a reminder and led his family to salute Yesi Heng.

"It's my turn to salute my grandmother and my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Ye Siheng stopped him.

The dignified Ninth Prince has probably only saluted the emperor and queen in his life, how dare they.

Chu Hanlin waved his hand: "We are all one family, so we don't need so many etiquettes."

The elder brothers were even more uneasy. They were still young boys. When the Ninth Prince called them elder brother, they all trembled a bit. If they wanted to salute and greet them, it would be equivalent to killing them.

Chu Ye was still smart and quickly asked Nan Li how to subdue the three-tailed fox demon.

Nan Li then talked about what happened, and even the old lady listened with interest.

Hearing that the fox demon crushed his own demon pill to save people, the old lady couldn't help but sigh: "Just because we had fate in the past life does not mean that we will have fate in the next life. So as human beings, we still have to cherish the people around us and don't leave anything behind."

Pity."

Hearing this, Ye Siheng looked at Nan Li, his mind slightly moved.

Chu Ye also looked at Xiao Wanyi, and their fingers were intertwined.

Chu Shuo lowered his head, not knowing what he thought of, his lips pursed, and his hands under his sleeves clenched into fists.

Suddenly, he walked out and knelt in front of Chu Hanlin and Shen.

"Please ask the father and mother to make the decision for the child." Chu Shuo said with a firm voice, "My son wants to marry a young lady from the Lu family!"

Chu Hanlin and his wife were stunned.

There are many people named Lu in Kyoto, but the most famous is the family of Prime Minister Lu.

And there is only one young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Yanyan.

The Chu Huan brothers all stared at each other. When did the second brother fall in love with Lu Yanyan? Didn't the two of them quarrel as soon as they met?

Mrs. Shen came back to her senses and asked tentatively: "Are you talking about the young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Yes!" Chu Shuo looked up, with a serious look on his face, without any hint of joking, "My son just wants to marry her."

Chu Hanlin then laughed: "You are so shameless, you are not good at literature or martial arts, but you dare to ask to marry the Prime Minister's daughter, do people think highly of you?"

It's not that he despises his son, but that among his sons, Chu Shuo has the worst qualifications.

Nan Li disagreed and said, "Father, my second brother is rich."

"I know." Chu Hanlin looked disgusted. "It doesn't matter if you have money. There are so many young talents who want to be the prime minister's son-in-law. Who will get him?"

"But no one else is as rich as my second brother." Nan Li added.

Chu Hanlin was speechless for a moment, so he could only say: "The Prime Minister chooses a son-in-law, how can he be so philistine? The Prime Minister's Mansion is not too poor to open the door."

Nan Li looked at Chu Shuo helplessly and said that she had tried her best.

However, in addition to playing well, Chu Shuo has another advantage, and has another advantage, that is thick.
