Chapter 825

Mrs. Lian sat down. Peiru stared at her face and said slowly, "I've known you for so long, and I don't know where you live?"

Mrs. Lian felt a thump in her heart.

The smile on the face is more brilliant.

Her eyes glowed. "Is Miss Pei going to the people's home? The woman of the people has to be swept three days in advance. "

Pei Ru snorted, "you're too proud of yourself. What's my status, what's your status? Can I condescend to your home?"

Even the eldest lady was not annoyed. "What does Miss Pei mean when she asks where she lives?"

"That's because I've sent people to look for you. I've searched all over the South City and the West City, but I haven't found you."

Mrs. Lian asked, "is Miss Pei in a hurry to find me?"

"It's not urgent. I just wanted you to come and talk with me on a whim. But didn't you say your family bought a big house? Why did I ask people to search all the big houses in the two cities, but I didn't find you? Tell me what's going on? "

Mrs. Lian laughed, "is Miss Pei annoyed with me because of this? It's also my fault. I thought Miss Pei wouldn't come to me and didn't leave an address. It's a bother for you. After a while, I'll go back. You can send someone to follow me to recognize my family. Next time, if you have something to do, you can directly ask someone to call me

Seeing that she didn't seem to be telling lies, Peiru was suspicious. "It's unnecessary. In fact, I have nothing to do with it."

"I wish Miss Pei didn't blame me."

Even the big lady two words three language then cover up this matter in the past, and accompany Peiru to say a few words again, rise to leave.

Out of the Yong'an mansion, on the carriage, just a long sigh of relief.

Back home, Peiru today's words to Xia Xi listen.

"I'm really afraid that she'll send someone to come with me, and it'll all show up."

"She should have sent someone to look for you just because she wanted to profit from you. You don't have to worry about her. From today on, you'll come every three or five days to find out about her at any time and set up the date of her marriage."

Mrs. Lian answered.

"Young master, are you back?"

The voice of the servant girl rang out.

Even big madam Leng next, today time hour is still early, how did the husband come back so early?

Lian Li has seen Qinglian and Qinghe at the door, and knows that she is not a servant girl in the house. He thinks that someone will come to find his wife. After answering the call, he doesn't come in, but turns around to go to the study.

"Your husband?"

Xia Xi asked with a smile.

Mrs. Lian replied, "yes. I don't know why I came back so early today? "

"Where does he work?"

Xia Xi pretends not to know.

"In the Ministry of rites, it's an optional clerk."

Xia Xi smile, "this is really a coincidence, I just have something to ask someone, can you ask him to come in to talk."

"Princess, don't say that. If you want to know something, just call him in for questioning."

"Please, Madame, call people in."

"I'll call him."

Mrs. Lian went out to see that Lian Li was about to go to the study. She called to him and hurried over and said a few words in his ear.

Lian Li was stunned.

After the examination, the Ministry of rites had nothing to do these days. He didn't want to take it with him in the yamen, so he came back early. Unexpectedly, he met Princess Zhan.

Pretending to tidy up, he asked his wife in a low voice, "do you know what Princess Zhan wants to ask?"

Even the eldest lady shook her head. "I don't know."

Lian Li went in and saluted Xia Xi, "I've seen the princess of war."

"At home, you don't have to have so many rules. Sit down first."

Lian Li sat down with a straight waist and sweat on the tip of his nose.

In the past two years, he has heard a lot about Xia Xi. He always thinks that she is a scheming and unreasonable person. Until recently, his wife has been telling him how good Xia Xi is, how capable and how approachable she is. He has changed his mind about Xia Xi.

Xia Xi looked at him, and his face was somewhat similar to that of master Lian. He looked taller and smoother than master Lian.

"I heard from my wife that you work in the Ministry of rites?"

Lian Li leaned slightly, "yes."

"I want to know what will happen if someone takes the place of an impostor?"

"If they are new students, they will be disqualified from participating in the imperial examination. If they were in the past, they would be relieved of their present official posts and sent to prison lightly. If they were in the past, they would be sent to places of hardship and cold, and they would never come back. "

Xia Xi nodded, "are you a clerk in the Ministry of rites?"

Unexpectedly, she suddenly changed the topic, even Li Leng for a moment, replied, "yes."

"Have you ever thought of a step up?"

Lian Li was stunned again and couldn't react.

Forget etiquette, Leng Leng looked at Xia Xi speechless.

Mrs. Lian sat next to him, found his gaffe, secretly pulled his sleeve, Lian Li just reflected.

Subconsciously, he had to refuse. He was influenced by Liancheng since he was a child. He didn't have much desire for an official position, and he didn't like intrigue. Otherwise, he couldn't have been a clerk for so many years.

"I..."

Even the eldest lady pulled off his sleeve again. After many years of marriage, she naturally knew Lian Li and how he would reply. But he didn't think about them, but he had to think about their ru'er. You can't always accompany your mother-in-law in the countryside.

Lian Li stopped and frowned slightly.

Even big madam whispers, "you listen to Princess how to say first, don't be in a hurry to refuse."

Lian Li didn't like it, but looking at his wife's burning eyes, he changed his mouth after all. "I think I've thought about it, but I don't have much ability. I can only eat a little."

It's not that I have no ability, it's that I have no backing, but I can't say that.

"I have an opportunity here. If you do it well, you will certainly be promoted, but I won't help you. It's up to you."

Not to ask him to do something, Lian Li was relieved and didn't refuse, "please say, Princess Zhan."

"Was the seventh place in the examination a few days ago Xia Yu?"

The list of the examination was all in his mind. He didn't want to answer, "yes."

"He's an impostor. You can check it out."

Lian Li was shocked.

The Ministry of accounts is in charge of the imperial examination. For so many years, there has never been an impostor. How can Xia Xun be so bold?

"How did the princess know?"

Xia Xi smile, "you go to check, don't delay too long, it's better to check within a month."

Lian Li thought what she said was that a month later, the list of official appointments would come down, and nodded, "don't worry, Princess Zhan. I'll start to check it immediately."

……

At the end of August, it's the day of the Imperial College's holiday again. After having breakfast, Hu Zi cheerfully calls you Hua to fly a kite in the martial arts training ground.

There was a breeze, but the kite still couldn't fly. Huzi climbed up the tallest tree and hung the kite on it. Watching it flutter with the wind, he clapped his hands and laughed, "let it go, let it go!"

When his voice declined, he saw a carriage not far from the palace. Niu was standing beside the carriage.
