No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 326 Su Rui Visits
"Sister Su!" Luo Junyao stepped into the flower hall and saw Su Rui sitting inside, with a bright smile on his face.

Although we saw each other every day in the palace before, I didn't have much time to gossip. Counting it, she hasn't had a good chat with a few girls she has been friends with for quite a while.

It's too busy now, even if Su Rui doesn't come to see her today, she will have a get-together with them someday.

Su Rui also got up immediately, "I've seen the princess."

Luo Junyao stepped into the flower hall, quickly stepped forward and pulled her up, and said curiously: "Why is Sister Su free to visit me today?"

Su Rui smiled and said: "I was busy the past few days and didn't have time. I figured you should be busy now, and I just have something to tell you."

Luo Junyao pulled Su Rui to the side and sat down, "Sister Su, tell me."

Su Rui said: "I told you earlier, Queen Mother... Do you still remember the fact that the Queen Mother wanted to ban Anlan Academy? Now the Queen Mother has passed away..."

Luo Junyao nodded. Of course she remembered that she also promised Mr. Zhang to be the nominal director of the Martial Arts Academy of Anlan Academy next year.But now that there is no threat from the queen mother, I don't know if Mr. Zhang wants her to continue to mislead his children?
Su Rui sighed lightly and said, "Mr. Zhang told me that she traded with you."

Luo Jun shook his eyes and blinked, "Did Mr. Zhang regret it? It's okay, I don't care. However, the things Mr. Zhang gave me will not be returned."

Seeing her nervous face, Su Rui couldn't help but burst out laughing.Shaking his head helplessly, he said, "What are you thinking? Mr. Zhang is very happy that the Princess Regent has endorsed Anlan Academy."

Luo Junyao sighed and said, "I think Mr. Zhang did it out of necessity. She must be worried that I would ruin the academy's reputation." After all, even if he became the princess regent, Luo Junyao was not really an outstanding graduate of Anlan Academy.

In the eyes of outsiders, she can have today's status purely by fighting for her father.Those who are more thoughtful may suspect that Xie Yan reluctantly endured such an ignorant princess because of the military power in General Luo's hands.

"Then, what does Sister Su want to say?" Luo Junyao asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Mr. Zhang and I are teachers and students, right? She never came to visit me at the Prince Regent's Mansion. But Sister Su, you are not from Linglong Academy Is it?" Zhang Jingyu is the dean of the Martial Arts Institute, so he is not familiar with Su Rui.

Su Rui smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang wants Minmin to come. Isn't she busy? Don't forget what things you have left for Minmin."

Luo Jun shook his eyes and blinked, feeling a little guilty.

Originally, I planned to start a business by myself, but I was too busy during this period. In fact, most of the preliminary preparations were done by Song Yu and Luo Niangzi.As for Qin Ning and the others, Xu Hui would make trouble when Qin Ning was young, and Shen Hongxiu and Zhao Sisizhi could only help a little if they were not here.

Song Jue is not Mrs. Luo, she is a boudoir girl who has to go to school every day, and she is not very busy taking care of her at home.

Thinking about it, I'm really sorry for Song Yu.

Su Rui just said it casually, not really wanting to accuse Luo Junyao.

In fact, both she and Song Xi were quite happy. Their abilities were not inferior to men, but no one dared to think about these things at first.

Yao Yao has these unconstrained ideas, and has the courage to practice them. She took the initiative, and they are willing to try it. Even if it is a bit hard, they feel happy in their hearts.

"Okay, I'm just joking with you." Su Rui said with a smile, "I really have something to tell you personally."

Luo Jun shook his head again and again, "Speak, I'll listen."

Su Rui said: "After the new year, the head of the academy will be retiring. Next year, Anlan Academy will need to elect a new head."

Luo Junyao was a little surprised when he heard the words, "I remember Shanzhang is not very old?" Because Anlan Academy has been the only one in Linglong Academy these years, Shanzhang doesn't have a high sense of existence, but Luo Junyao doesn't have a bad impression of her.

Su Rui shook her head and said: "It is said that she is not in good health, and she was about to retire a long time ago. But earlier, the queen mother intended to support the dean of Linglong Academy to take her place, and now..." Now that the queen mother is gone, the position of the head of the Academy It's hard to say who it belongs to.

Luo Junyao immediately understood, "Sister Su came to see me? Do you mean the head of the mountain?"

Su Rui smiled and said, "I knew you were very smart. That's right, what Mr. Zhang and the head of the mountain mean, I hope you will be the head of the mountain at Anlan Academy."

"Pfft!" Luo Jun shook his head and couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth.

After coughing several times, she raised her head and said with tears in her eyes, "Sister Su, just tell me. Are the head of the mountain and Mr. Zhang wanting Anlan Academy to close down immediately?" She is the head of the mountain?Are there any dignitaries in Shangyong who dare to send the girl to Anlan Academy?

Su Rui sighed and said, "Think about it carefully."

Luo Jun shook his head and frowned while thinking, and soon a light flashed in his eyes.

She suddenly raised her head to look at Su Rui, and Su Rui said with a smile: "When I was leaving, I heard Mr. Zhang talking with the head of the mountain, and said with emotion, back then... Anlan Academy is not what it is now.

in such. "

Luo Junyao immediately understood, "I understand."

"Then what do you mean?" Su Rui asked.

Luo Junyao thought for a while and said, "Let me think about it and reply to Mr. Zhang and the head of the mountain years ago."

Although Luo Junyao was a little excited, he didn't rush to agree.This is a very cumbersome and huge task and responsibility. Once agreed, it will take
There are also a lot of things to do, not just as simple as putting up a name as discussed with Mr. Zhang before.

Su Rui was not surprised, she nodded and said: "Okay, you should think about it carefully." If Luo Junyao really agreed, she would have to worry about whether she was acting on a whim.

Luo Jun shook his head in agreement, turned his eyes and approached Su Rui with a smile, "The business is over, let's talk about other things."

"Other things?" Su Rui asked suspiciously.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "It's about Xiao San."

Su Rui was startled and quickly laughed, "What did I think you were talking about, it turned out to be this."

"Solved? The eldest son of the Xiao family has already entered the capital, right? What about the rest of the Xiao family?" Luo Junyao asked with concern.

Su Rui said: "The eldest son of the Xiao family visited at noon yesterday. When he first entered the capital, he encountered the rebellion of King Ning, and then the empress dowager had a great funeral. He finally went to the Ministry of Officials to finish his work report, so he was free to visit yesterday. "

Luo Jun shook his chin, "Then how about your marriage? The eldest son of the Xiao family can't have the final say on this matter, right?"

Marriage is the word of the parents. Even if the eldest son of the Xiao family has the right to speak at home, he is not qualified to decide the marriage contract of his younger brother while his parents are still alive.Even if the engagement was to be terminated, the parents of the Xiao family had to come to the capital in person, or at least send someone or write a letter in person.

The eldest son of the Xiao family came directly from the capital outside the place, so I'm afraid he doesn't even know exactly what's going on.

Su Rui sighed softly and said: "Yesterday, my grandfather already told the eldest son of the Xiao family about this matter. Young master Xiao said that he would send someone to report back to the Xiao family as soon as possible. It's just... Xiao Hong is missing."

"Missing?!" Luo Junyao was a little surprised, "Why did you disappear?"

Su Rui said: "The one before... didn't he go away, we also searched all his property."

Luo Junyao wondered: "Even so, the third son of the Xiao family won't be reduced to the point where he has nowhere to stay, right? Do you feel ashamed and find a place to hide yourself?" Su Rui did search all of Xiao Hong's property , but a son like Xiao Hong can carry a jade pendant with him for several years.

Su Rui shook her head and said: "Who knows, our family originally sent someone to watch him. Before that, he didn't go out for several days and drank in the yard, and then he went out early one morning and never came back. At that time, Xiao The eldest son of the family has already arrived in the capital, so my father handed over the servants left by Xiao Hong to the eldest son Xiao, and left it alone. You also know that the city is very chaotic these days, and the eldest son Xiao has not been found yet. People. Our family also sent people to help find people."

Luo Junyao said with some vigilance: "Your family...doesn't plan to continue the engagement?"

Su Rui laughed and said: "How could it be? Since my grandfather has already mentioned the divorce with the Xiao family, he will never change his mind."

Luo Jun shook a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."

Su Rui also breathed a sigh of relief, and was even a little happy, "I just got divorced, and I have persuaded my grandfather not to marry me for a year or two. This way, I can also do some things I want to do."

Don't say kiss?How can this work? !

Luo Junyao turned pale with shock, and quickly asked, "What do you want to do?"

Su Rui said: "I promised the head of the mountain to teach painting skills at Anlan Academy."

Su Rui is a well-known talented woman in Shangyong, so it is more than enough to be a teacher in Anlan Academy.

"Is it only teaching painting skills? Isn't it a bit inferior?" Luo Jun shook his head.

Su Rui smiled and said: "Where is the talent? I don't care about it. In fact, if it weren't for the rules of the academy, I still don't want to leave the academy. There are many books in the academy, and I haven't finished them yet." Although the Su family's collection of books Not a lot, but how can it compare to the hundreds of years of Anlan Academy?

There are many books in Anlan Academy, which the Su family does not have.

Seeing Su Rui's excited appearance, Luo Junyao could only lament for his elder brother in his heart.

Sister Su likes books, and their Luo family... has no books.

The Luo family is a newly born dignitary and a family of generals.The Luo family's collection of books is probably less than one percent of the Su family's.

Remind the elder brother later that she has fulfilled her responsibility as a younger sister.

The two chatted for a while, then went to find Xie Cheng and a few other children. It was rare for Su Rui to come to the Prince Regent's Mansion, so she naturally wanted to see how her little nephew was doing in the Prince Regent's Mansion.

In the martial arts training ground behind the palace on the other side, the newly repaired martial arts training ground looks brand new and empty.

However, the speed and ability of the craftsmen in the palace are not bad, and it is not at all obvious that this place has suffered a near-complete destruction not long ago.

Luo Jinyan and Gu Jue, who had just arrived, looked at Xie Yan who led them here with some puzzlement.

"The lord is looking for us to discuss?" Gu Jue raised his eyebrows.

Luo Jinyan doesn't think so, everyone is very busy now, if something really happened, Xie Yan would never come to them at this time.

Xie Yan walked up to the two guards holding the box, turned his head and said to them, "Come and have a look."

The two of them also came to the front when they heard the words, and their eyes lit up when they saw the things in the box.

The general's favorite thing is naturally a weapon. Both Gu Jue and Luo Jinyan can see that it is a crossbow. As for the other thing, it is hard to say what it is, but it should be used similarly to the crossbow.

Gu Jue first picked up the crossbow, looked carefully and said, "It's not heavy, but I don't know how effective it is." The distance between the bow and arrow is too obvious.

Naturally, there are also heavy crossbows in the army that are difficult to match with strong bows, but those things are not only expensive to manufacture, but also troublesome to disassemble and assemble, and they cannot be controlled by a single person at all.

"Try." Xie Yan said.

Gu Jue nodded, picked up the crossbow to check it, and then shot towards the arrow target at the end of the martial arts arena.

After the sharp sound of piercing through the air, the arrow of Doo was firmly nailed to the center of the target.

Both Gu Jue and Luo Jinyan raised their eyebrows in surprise. This distance has exceeded the effective range of most ordinary bows and arrows.

Most of the bows will float beyond a certain range, or the penetrating power will drop greatly, and they will not be able to hurt people at all.But looking at the arrows on the target, it can be shot further.

"There are still arrows." Luo Jin said.

Naturally, Gu Jue had already discovered it, and then shot several arrows in a row, all of which hit the bull's-eye steadily.

"My lord, is this newly made by the Ordnance Bureau? Not bad."

Xie Yan said calmly: "This is not made by the Military Weapons Bureau, this is made by Yaoyao."

"Shake it?"

"princess?"

Xie Yan glanced at Luo Jinyan and said: "Yaoyao said, she specially showed it to you, you are not free."

"..." Luo Jinyan was speechless, but he was still very happy, "This is the hidden weapon that Yaoyao brought back to transform? I didn't expect her to have this talent."

Gu Jue looked at him, "You call this a hidden weapon?" Where is the darkness, why should it be called a bright weapon?

Xie Yan said: "Yaoyao said that this is indeed modified with reference to the things I got back from you." Although it doesn't look like it, the main reason is that the lethality is too bad, and it's not just enlarged as it is.

"Is this also made by the princess?" Gu Jue had already set his sights on another thing.

Xie Yan nodded and said, "The main reason I asked you to come is to see this."

Although this repeating crossbow is very good, there are similar things in the army, and it is not enough for Xie Yan to attach so much importance to it.

Luo Jinyan and Gu Jue obviously understood this truth, and looked at the box in the other guard's hand.

Luo Jinyan picked it up and weighed it in his hand. It looked delicate and much lighter than a crossbow, but he didn't know...

Luo Jinyan frowned and said, "Is it shot from this copper pipe? Why does it look like a firecracker?"

Xie Yan nodded and said: "It does look a bit like it. It should be modified on the basis of firecrackers. Yao Yao has always been very interested in firearms."

Dasheng Folk Officials actually have firecrackers, but they are still ineffective and expensive, so they are not widely used.Even Xie Yan wasn't very interested in those things, but Luo Junyao's modified gun gave Xie Yan new expectations.

Luo Jinyan and Gu Jue looked at each other, nodded and said, "Try it."
