Chapter 676
It wasn't until she left the gate of the British government that Zhu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

It has to be said that today's experience can be described as twists and turns, with many changes, from the doubts of Jiao Jing and others at the beginning, to the sudden letter from Ren Li, he was a little caught off guard.

Fortunately, he handled all these fairly well. Although it may still not dispel the suspicion of Jiao Jing and others, but still the same sentence, as long as the prince's departure from the cabinet and the matter of the young army can be settled, then they will have another chance. Big doubts will also be swallowed back into the stomach.

As for whether these two things can be done...

On the way back home, Grandpa Zhu silently reviewed everything that happened today in his heart, reconfirmed that there was no problem, and then slowly relaxed his mind.

As long as Zhang Xiang is persuaded, the next step will be much easier. You only need to tell Eunuch Shu everything, and the rest will come naturally.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yi's eyes could not help but a trace of relaxation flashed. After running around for so long, it is finally near at hand to restore the title of his father and grandfather.

The carriage was leisurely in front of Cheng Guogong's mansion, and the housekeeper was already waiting in front of the door.

With the help of the servant, Zhu Yi got off the carriage, and was about to go to the gate of the mansion, but saw a small sedan chair parked outside the mansion gate, and the housekeeper seemed to have something to say.

"what happened?"

Frowning, Zhu Yi asked, so the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and replied in a low voice.

"Eldest young master, a visitor just arrived, and he is now in the flower hall."

While talking, the housekeeper handed over a name card, Zhu Yi took it over and looked at it, and at the same time she was surprised, but also somewhat dissatisfied, and said to the housekeeper.

"I'm not in the mansion, who told you to let people in without authorization?"

Since Zhu Yong's death, although the whole Chengguo mansion still used the title of "eldest young master" to Zhu Yi, but in fact, Zhu Yi had already become the backbone of the whole mansion.

Coupled with Zhu Yi's special status, in order to prevent unnecessary situations from happening, he is very strict in the management of the affairs of the mansion.

Therefore, with a little bit of anger in his tone, cold sweat broke out on the head of the old butler who had stayed in Duke Cheng's mansion for half his life.

"The young master is not here. The old slave was following your order and thanked everyone behind closed doors. However, just now when this name card was handed in, the old slave stopped by that person before he could send it away. .”

"Because you said when you left that that person is a distinguished guest and you should not neglect him. If he has any needs, you will try to meet them as much as possible. Therefore, since that person opened his mouth and asked the old slave to let him into the mansion, the old slave did not dare to refuse. from."

"But young master, don't worry, although he entered the mansion, after entering the mansion, the old slave led him to the flower hall, and there were people following him along the way to serve him, so there shouldn't be any trouble."

"what?"

After hearing the butler's explanation in a low voice, the anger in Zhu Yi's heart calmed down, but her frowning brows did not loosen, and what followed was a wave of surprise and uncertainty, and she asked.

"You mean, the one who came to visit when I was out? He told you to let someone in?"

The butler nodded, thought for a while, and said again.

"Yes, but that one only gave an order, saying that the old slave should welcome people in first, and the rest will be discussed after the young master comes back."

After listening, Zhu Yi couldn't help but rubbed her forehead, feeling a little headache.

'That' naturally refers to Shu Liang!

Regarding the matter of the East Palace leaving the pavilion, it was Zhu Yi and Yang Jie's idea at first, but the matter of the young army was the emperor's idea.

Although she didn't know what the emperor's intention was, Zhu Yi could vaguely feel that since Nangong's decree was sent out in the past two days, the emperor's concern for this matter has obviously increased a lot.

Otherwise, Shu Liang, such a big pen, would not take the risk of personally conveying the details of this matter to him at this time.

Of course, this is why Zhu Yi dared to promise to be the vanguard in front of Jiao Jing and others.

Who would not want to do a business that is sure to make a profit without losing money?
Originally, after dealing with Jiao Jing and Zhang Wei's gang, Zhu Yi only needed to tell Shu Liang what happened just now, and let him report back to the palace.

The rest is just the basic quality of an actor.

However, what Zhu Yi didn't expect was that at this juncture, there was another incident.

Originally, the person on the name post came to visit at this time, which surprised him enough, but Shu Liang, who should hide his existence in Chengguo's mansion the most, intervened at this time and released him. Entered the mansion.

What the hell does this mean?
Turning around the corridor, Zhu Yi paused slightly, pondered for a moment, lowered her voice, and continued to ask the butler next to her.

"Apart from letting you welcome people into the mansion, did that person say anything else?"

The butler thought for a while and replied.

"Back to the young master, that person also said that after the young master returns home, please go directly to the flower hall to meet the guests. In addition, he asked the old slave to reserve chairs on the screens on both sides of the flower hall. It looks like he wants to..."

After listening, Zhu Yi's frown became more and more tight, but his heart gradually became a little more confident, so he took a deep breath and spoke.

"In that case, do as that person ordered, and order the servants to change to two new cups of tea, and I will go to the flower hall to meet the guests."

Seeing the butler leading the people down to prepare, Zhu Yi took a deep breath, with a warm smile on his face, strode into the flower hall, and said.

"Xu Xueshi is here, but I am far away from welcoming him."

At the same time, in the flower hall, a middle-aged official in a dark blue official robe was tasting tea. When he saw Zhu Yi coming in, he quickly got up to greet him, and said.

"Young master is mad at Xu. He hastily visited. It's very disturbing. I hope you don't blame him."

That's right, this person is none other than Xu Youzhen, a scholar of Youchunfang University who just parted with the British government not long ago!

Although this person's rank is not high, but, after all, he is working in the Eastern Palace, and he was born in Qingliu of Hanlin, and he also has the credit for the river control. officials.

Therefore, although the two did not have a deep friendship, Zhu Yi was still quite polite to him.

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, they each sat down, and the servants brought new tea again, Zhu Yifang said.

"I don't know Xu Xueshi is here, but what's the matter?"

Although this question is asked knowingly, it is indeed a good way to get to the point quickly.

Fortunately, when Xu Youzhen came here, she didn't mean to be around the corner. She took a sip of tea, Xu Xueshi showed an inexplicable expression on his face, looked up at Zhu Yi and said.

"To tell you the truth, my lord, Xu came here on a temporary basis. As for the reason, it was precisely because of the conversation at the British government just now."

Those words sounded unkind, but the young master Zhu, who had experienced big storms, would naturally not be unsteady. There was no wave on his face, and he only asked calmly.

"Oh? Does Xueshi Xu feel that there is something wrong with what I said in the British government?"

 I'm writing later, let's post a small chapter first~
