Dayong Nu sentenced to death

After all, these two altars of Su Rao are kept in case of emergencies, and she will find a way to repay Lu Heng's favor.

Jin Wudu did not change his face: "Young master guessed that the young lady would say this, so I asked my subordinates to tell you that this is a thank you gift for your generous help during the peach blossom banquet, so don't take it to heart."

"The words have been brought, and the subordinates leave."

Jin Wudu saluted her, then turned and left, Zhao Afu hurriedly followed to lead him the way, Su Rao summoned two servants to send the wine jar to the treasury for placement.

Early the next morning, she ordered someone to send a message to Bai Gutang, and Xie Xiao hurried over without even having breakfast.

"Little master, why are you looking for this old slave?"

Su Rao didn't answer, and invited him to sit down for breakfast, Xie Xiao refused, and carefully sat on half of the stool, waiting for her answer.

"Uncle Xie, my mother's dowry has been taken care of by you all these years..."

As soon as she started talking, Xie Xiao said nervously: "Is there something wrong with the account books you sent? You can tell me, my little master, and this old slave will definitely investigate to the end."

It was only when he mentioned Su Rao that he remembered that there were still piles of account books that he hadn't read.

Although she could understand it, she really didn't have the energy to spend on it.

"Uncle Xie worried too much, there is nothing wrong with the account books."

"Then you were just now..."

Xie Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was worried. Seeing this, Su Rao hurriedly finished speaking: "It's like this, I owe some favors and want to prepare something to repay the gift. Please make up your mind."

Lu Heng said it was a thank you gift from the Peach Blossom Banquet, but the post-mortem examination was her job, and it couldn't be worth two jars of snow.

"So this is ah."

Xie Xiao was completely relieved, and said gently: "Back then, the eldest lady chose the best shops and farms for her dowry. There were also many rare antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all of which can be returned as gifts."

"I just don't know what the person who wants to return the gift likes?"

"I really don't know that."

Su Rao shook her head regretfully, her understanding of Lu Heng was still in the unruly and eclectic.

Beyond that, little is known.

"That would be more difficult."

Giving gifts is about finding what one likes. It's not difficult to pick something casually, but the difficulty is that it doesn't suit one's wishes and ruins friendship.

Xie Xiao lowered his head and thought.

Su Rao was also thinking about this matter. Suddenly, she remembered that when she first met Lu Heng in Tianxiang Lake, Princess Jin seemed to have mentioned it in passing.

"Are there more rare orchid seeds?"

she asked.

Xie Xiao was taken aback for a moment, thought about it seriously, and smiled, "Yes, I remember that there was a flower seed called ghost orchid in the list submitted by Zhenpin Pavilion not long ago."

"This ghost orchid grows in woodland swamps, and likes to grow on the decayed beech leaves. It is very rare and rare, so the price is also very expensive."

"That's it."

Su Rao made a final decision, and Xie Xiao got up when he heard the words, "Okay, then the old slave will make arrangements and send the ghost orchid seeds over as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle."

"Don't dare, the old slave will leave."

Xie Xiaofeng left in a hurry. He was very efficient and delivered the things to Banyue Xiaozhu at noon.

Su Rao left a message before leaving the mansion.

After Zhao Afu got the things, he directly handed over the greeting card to Lu's house and sent the things over.

"Our young lady said that thanks to Mr. Lu's care all the way to Beijing, she got some gadgets by chance, and she thought that Mr. Lu would like them, so she asked the villain to send them over."

Jin Wudu took it and held it in front of Lu Heng.

Lu Heng opened the cloth bag with a folding fan, took a look inside, and the smile in his eyes suddenly became stronger, "This is the seed of the ghost orchid."

"Exactly."

Zhao Afu bowed slightly.

"Your lady is interested, remember to tell her, I will definitely plant this ghost orchid, and when it blooms in the future, I will invite her to share it."

"Slave keep it in mind."

"Go."

Lu Heng waved his hand, and continued to observe the orchid seeds, Zhao Afu took a few steps back carefully, and left with the servants in the mansion.

Then someone went to Dali Temple to spread the word.

After listening to this, Su Rao only said that she understood, then put everything behind her, and continued to look at Xun Zeli, "Tell me, what did you find out."

"My lord, let's guess, who is Li Cheng's clan brother?"

Xun Zeli didn't say it outright, he made a fool of himself.

Su Rao glanced at him. She had seen almost all Jinshi Jinshi at the Qionglin Banquet. There were not a few people with the surname Li. It might make Xun Zeli show such an expression...

"Could it be Tanhualang Li Mi?"

Xun Zeli curled his lips in boredom, "My lord, can't you leave some room for imagination?"

"Oh, how dare you ask Mr. Xun, who is Li Cheng's elder brother?"

Su Rao propped her chin, looked at him with a smile, Xun Zeli grinned, very cooperative: "You will never guess it, it is the Tanhua Lang."

The people next to them looked serious, and the two who sang together twitched the corners of their mouths in unison.

Can you do this?

What a dare to ask and dare to answer.

"Tell me, what did you find out, why didn't you hear about these two people before?"

These are the things that should have been found out when Li Cheng's identity was thoroughly investigated.

Su Rao poured a cup of tea, then gestured to Xun Zeli, motioned him to sit down, and handed him the tea.

Xun Zeli took two sips to moisten his throat, and under the urging eyes of everyone, he said unhurriedly: "I didn't find out before because the two are not from the same lineage, but brothers in the next room, and Li Mi's lineage is due to The family was in decline and forced to live alone, and after coming to Shengjing, the two didn't have much contact with each other."

Su Rao asked: "What's the specific situation of Li Mi's family?"

"Three years ago, Li's father died of illness, and Li's mother was overly sad. She also went there half a year later. After Li Mi kept mourning for them for a year, she changed the old house in the seller's house and rushed to Yuelu Academy to study."

"Later, I went to Beijing to take the exam."

Xun Zeli rubbed his smooth chin, thoughtfully: "It's strange to say that this time there are many students from Yuelu Academy in the same class. They say that Li Mi is unknown in the academy, and they have hardly heard of this person. , who would have thought that it would become a blockbuster and hit Tanhua directly."

Xiao San and Xiao Qing looked at each other, and tightened their eyebrows at the same time.

This is strange.

If one person says he can't do it, it's probably because of jealousy. If a group of people say he can't do it, then maybe he really can't do it...

"If he is really ordinary, how did he become Tanhua?"

Gu Cheng asked everyone's doubts.

"Who knows, maybe it's luck, and the answer to the test paper just happened to be in the examiner's appetite. Since the establishment of the imperial examination, there has been a precedent like Li Mi."

Shen Yuan said indifferently.

Xun Zeli thought about the truth, nodded and said: "Yes, after all, the scientific examination not only considers knowledge, but also has extremely high requirements on people's psychological quality. Some people write profound and beautiful articles on weekdays. At the critical moment, I get discouraged, not to mention performing normally, and I was carried out of the examination room before I even finished answering the paper."
