Jiaohua

Zhiyu Waterside Pavilion is now full of people and more lively than ever.

Although Xia Zhaoyi came back early, Xu Yinjun had already made arrangements for everything if he had known she would be back in the next few days.

Several stoves were newly opened in the kitchen, and the heat was gushing out. Some snacks for the stomach were served first, and the refreshing refreshments were brought to the study one by one.

On the long table where Guan Chi, Fan Yu, and Liang Dechang were discussing military plans, Xia Zhaoyi had been back for less than two-quarters of an hour, and there were already piles of books and drawings.

Beiyuan's military intelligence accounted for the largest proportion, up to three feet, most of which Xia Zhaoyi was familiar with when he was in Hejing.The more than 30 copies sent in the past ten days have not yet been sorted out. These were the first things she read after sitting down.

Time passed slowly, the sun was fading to the west, and no one stayed in the study except Shi Guoxin.

All the dishes on the table were cold and untouched. Xia Zhaoyi's brows were calm, and he looked at them bit by bit. After reading Bei Yuan's, he then looked at Hengxiang's system reforms and policies during this period, as well as the layout and progress of urban construction. , then came to study in the world, and finally the business deal that Wang Fengnian won for her.

Zheli remembered that the ones related to "those people" were the ones she valued the least.

It was completely dark, so Shi Guoxin lit up all the lampstands in the house, displaying the bright light.

Zhan Ning followed a boy back from the waterside pavilion. He looked up and saw that the open space in Baishiting at the door of the study was full of people.

"So many people." Zhan Ning said casually.

The little servant turned back and smiled, "No, the big boss is the backbone, and as soon as they heard that she was back, all eyes turned to her."

Zhan Ning looked proud: "You are right, our second young lady is so powerful, it was the same when the Duke was alive!"

The courtyard is open, surrounded by water on three sides, and the lake breeze carries the chilly breeze past everyone waiting outside.

Seeing Zhan Ning coming, Xu Yinjun went up to greet him.

When Du Xuan and Dai Yu saw Zhan Ning, they hurried over quickly, with agitated expressions and filled with questions.

When Zhan Ning saw them, he also had an expressive look on his face, and his eyes became bright.

There were many people at the scene, including people from Zhengbei, people from Ning'an Tower, people from Qufu, people from Yamen, people from major academies, and other Hengxiang chambers of commerce who came to say hello.There are too many people, and there are many things that are really inappropriate for them to say right now, but once they exchanged eyes, they both knew what they wanted to say.

Zhan Ning followed Xu Yinjun without stopping, looking past Du Xuan to Zheng Beiren behind them.

Wang Gu smiled, raised his hand from afar, and bowed to him.

Zhan Ning nodded politely, stepped up the short white stone steps, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Shi Guoxin could hear his knocking pattern at first glance, so he mentioned it to the girl behind the desk and went over to open the door.

Xia Zhaoyi was thinking about something. Then he looked up and saw Zhan Ning closing the study door behind him and walking quickly.

The shadow of the door flickered, there seemed to be many people outside.

Xia Zhaoyi said: "What happened outside? There are so many people."

Zhan Ning came over and said: "Ignore them, Second Miss, I found out the identities of the man and woman who followed Zhuge Pan. They are from Zheng Bei."

"Zheng Bei?" Xia Zhaoyi was a little surprised, "What are they doing with Zhuge Pan?"

Zhan Ning shook his head: "I don't know, by the way, when I came back from outside just now, I saw those people from Zheng Bei, a middle-aged old man who looked like a military advisor, dressed as a Confucian scholar, and he smiled at me."

"Middle-aged old man," Xia Zhaoyi chuckled, "What kind of strange title is this, the one you mentioned may be Wang Junshi sent by Zhao Gong."

Wang Fengnian mentioned this person in his letter and called him a smiling fox. Wang Fengnian's evaluation of him was that he was loyal to Zheng Bei, resourceful, economical, and slightly exaggerated in his words and actions, much like Zhao Xun.As a strategist, he is good at judging situations, but not good at attacking people's minds.

If the man and woman were really from Zheng Bei, then they were most likely sent out by Wang Gu.

But Wang Gu, Zhuge Pan, what can there be between these two people?
Zhao Gong pretended to be a businessman to go to Hengxiang to find Zhao Ning's timber business, and Zhao Ning also readily agreed to all subsequent business dealings.The relationship between Ning Anlou and Zheng Bei no longer needs the method of "stalking".

So, is it Zhuge Pan or Wang Gu's personal reasons?

However, whether it is public or private, it seems that it has nothing to do with her.

Xia Zhaoyi said: "I thought that the people following Zhuge Pan were going to deal with Ning'an Building, but now it seems that it may not be the case, so let's not worry about it for now. Zhan Ning, go and rest."

Zhan Ning looked at the stacks of papers on the desk and felt distressed: "Well, I'm going to have a rest, but Miss Second, after you finish reviewing, you should also rest early."

When Zhan Ning left the study and came out, he was immediately surrounded by Xu Yinjun, Lin Shuanglan and others, asking the girl if she had eaten inside and how long it would take before she would come out.

Zhan Ning was amused by their appearance: "If there is any emergency, you can go in and find the second lady now."

"It's not an emergency," Lin Shuanglan said with a smile, "It's just been too long, we miss her."

Zhan Ning said gently: "Go and do your own business. Our second lady doesn't like this kind of scene the most. Just treat her as if she has always lived here, just like usual. There is no need to treat today as a special day."

After finishing speaking, Zhan Ning looked at Xu Yinjun, and told him in a low voice to make arrangements and disperse the crowd as soon as possible, because he couldn't tell how long it would take for the girl to come out, and the stacked documents on the table were really scary.

After he finished his instructions, Xu Yinjun immediately went to make arrangements, while Zhan Ning went straight to Du Xuan and the others.

Ignoring the gazes of Zheng Beiren next to him, as well as the gazes of Qingxiang Village and others, Zhan Ning and Du Xuan seemed to be very friendly, and the group quickly left the open space in front of the study.

While chatting and walking, they walked along the waterside pavilion until they finally stopped at Qiuxing Bieyuan.Dai Yu and the others were ecstatic, and Du Xuan was even more grinning from ear to ear: "So this is true, it really happened?"

Zhan Ning lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Why, General Shen didn't say anything in the letter?"

"What are you thinking!" Dai Yu said anxiously, "How could our young master express his temperament directly in a letter?"

Wei Dongyou couldn't hold it back and shouted: "It was mentioned in Ye Zheng and Wu Shaoning's letter, but they didn't say it directly, they were very subtle!"

Du Xuan said angrily: "Just say that good things are coming, and we should wait for the good news."

Kang Jian also got angry: "Yes, I didn't say it directly, I just said that our young master and Miss Ali may have enlightened."

Dai Yu said: "Yes, it's still 'possible'. I'm really worried."

Zhan Ning laughed loudly, and whispered after laughing: "That's great! They're still holding hands."

Du Xuan and the others' eyes sparkled: "Wow!!"

This is an unimaginable scene. After all, before leaving Hengxiang, the two of them were elm-headed no matter what.How did you go to Hejing? You made such rapid progress.

Zhan Ning continued: "I haven't even mentioned it to General Shen. Let me tell you, when General Shen was away, when our second lady mentioned him, the smile on her face was so sweet. Sometimes the second lady Stopping in a daze, with a smile on her face, I asked her what she was thinking about, and she didn’t hide it. She smiled and told me that she was thinking about General Shen!”

"Oops!" Du Xuan smiled so hard that his eyebrows curled up, as if a flower had bloomed on his face.

Dai Yu and the others were extremely happy. A group of tall men were rubbing their hands and stamping their feet excitedly. Even though they were far away, they seemed to be infected by their happy atmosphere.

Tao Yinhe looked at the other side of the water pavilion in puzzlement: "This is, you got rich?"

Wang Gu raised his hand and touched the beard on his chin, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Hey~ maybe there is some happy event."

"Happy event?" Tao Yinhe looked at him.

Wang Gu said with a smile: "This is incredible. It's really hard to give this gift for a happy event! It's too big and I can't afford it, and it's too small and I don't have the honor, hahaha!" (End of Chapter)
