Tang Luoyu pushed the door open and went in, but he didn't see this guy packing his things, but he was sitting at the desk, laying out the imperial decree to look at it carefully.

The candlelight was warm, he took off his official uniform, and put on a white robe, with a black belt around his waist, without any jewelry hanging down, he looked more cool and simple than usual, the waterfall-like blue silk was half draped and half tied, with only one plain The silver hairpin is fixed, and two strands of hair hang down from the forehead, not unruly, but more clearly defined.

"I'm still thinking about it."

Tang Luoyu entered the room and put the burden on the desk.

Hearing his wife's voice, before Xue Lince raised his head, there was an unconscious smile on his face.

"Why did you come here so late?" He put the imperial decree aside, "Have you packed your things?"

Tang Luoyu curled her lips when she heard this, "I'm not a housekeeper, I don't know what you want to bring, I only took mine."

"Okay, okay," Xue Lince's voice softened subconsciously, "I just couldn't let it go, so I looked at the imperial decree again, and found it strange."

Hearing this, Tang Luoyu dragged a stool over and sat beside him to watch with him.

Xue Lince pointed to the tough characters on the imperial decree, and squeezed Tang Luoyu's finger with one hand, "I am a civil servant, even if the emperor heard about Yue Dong's resistance to the rebels, he should know that I did it with the help of Uncle Hua and others." Who wiped out the rebels, why would I be the only one promoted?"

Tang Luoyu leaned closer to him, and looked carefully at the imperial decree, "And there will be [-] troops, the emperor is really so relieved?"

The husband and wife met each other's eyes, and they couldn't come up with a result after discussing for a long time, so they could only put it aside temporarily and continue to pack things for going south.

Summer nights are short, and the next day is a rare cloudy day. At noon, the clouds have not faded, and there is some cold wind blowing in all directions. The maple trees in the yard are rustling, and people's interest has also subsided a lot.

Ke Ran was unaffected at all, and was packing medicinal materials all over the yard, packed a big bag, and handed it all to Chai Jin.

Tang Luoyu and Xue Lince were also busy in the room, discussing the matter of going south while busy packing things.

At this time, there was another sound of footsteps outside the house. The two looked up and found that the person who came was Baoqin.

"Madam, master," bowed with the piano in his arms, his face seemed a bit embarrassed, "a gentleman called Cen Ju came outside the house, saying that he and master are old acquaintances, and there is a letter to hand to master."

Xue Tang and his wife looked at each other and exchanged puzzled glances.

"Let him in."

Xue Lince felt strange, why did the Yuedong Mansion come in wave after wave as soon as the matter of going south was implemented?

Hearing a guest coming, Ke Ran and Chai Jin also rushed over to find out who Cen Ju was.

Xue Lince folded his arms on his chest, "I've never heard of it, and I don't have such a person in my old acquaintance."

A few people were talking, and there was another sound of footsteps outside the house. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and saw that the person who came was a man with a resolute face. Exuding the serious and upright aura of a teacher in a school, this person is Cen Ju.

"Master Xue," he smiled when he saw Xue Lince, and the expression on his face was much more vivid, "Cen Ju has met Master Xue."

"Excuse me," Xue Lince said to stop him from saluting, while he quickly sized him up, with a look of doubt on his face, "Mr. Cen has come all the way to work hard, but..."

He lowered his voice, his eyes were a little more observant, and Cen Ju was a bit observant, and he bowed again: "Master Xue has never met me, it's all because Cen Ju is an old member of the Xue family, and he has not been with me before. The adults have met."

It turned out that the four of them exchanged a look of enlightenment.

Ke Ran was impatient, so she asked impolitely, "I heard that Mr. Cen is here to deliver a letter. What kind of letter is it?"

Cen Ju smiled gently, not caring about Ke Ran's rude behavior, and took out a letter from his pocket, "Cen heard that your lord has been named the general of Zhenbei and is about to go south to quell the chaos. You must be very puzzled why you came here?" The civil servants are given important tasks, but in fact, these [-] soldiers are all from the old Xue family, and they are only led by the descendants of the Xue family. The emperor clearly appointed you as a general, but in fact he wants to seek the help of the Xue family."

He handed the letter paper to Xue Lince, "The rest of the things are written in the letter, please read it."

Xue Lince reached out to take it, opened the envelope and glanced at it quickly, while Cen Ju kept observing his expression, guessing that he had finished reading the letter, and saluted again: "Actually, Cen has a request for this visit. "

Everyone was startled again and looked at each other.

Cen Ju bowed his back even lower, "Cen met your father and vowed to repay Lord Hou for his kindness. Cen came here overnight because he wanted to go south with your lord to rehabilitate him."

Everyone was shocked and a little dumbfounded.

Seeing that everyone was in a strange mood, Cen Ju suddenly lifted the hem of his clothes, and then simply knelt down on the ground. When he spoke again, his voice was trembling, and there was a bit of crying.

"Cen once swore to do his best for Lord Hou. Now that Lord Hou has gone west, Cen should throw his head and blood for Lord Xue, and ask Lord Xue to fulfill his promise!"

After all, he made a gesture to kowtow hard on the ground.

Xue Lince was startled, and quickly stopped him, "Mr. Cen, don't worry! The matter of going south was sudden, and we only made up our minds last night. It's just that you are a scholar, and going south to be rehabilitated is going to the battlefield. I'm afraid..."

"My lord, don't worry," Cen Ju heard that Xue Lince was a little shaken, and quickly raised his tear-stained face, "I was proficient in the six arts of a gentleman when I met your father, and I have never fallen behind for many years. If I am lucky enough to walk with you, Forget Cen's wish in this life!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, his chest heaved violently, and finally his eyes were weeping, and he cried aloud.

Seeing this, everyone was a little panicked, and hurriedly pulled him up, surrounded him into the room, called him to sit down, poured hot tea for him, and comforted him one by one from the left to the right.

Cen raised the hot tea in his hand, and although he was still crying, his mouth was not idle, and he babbled about the Xue family's affairs over and over again.

Because he was one more person, the departure time was postponed for another day.

The next day, Tang Luoyu got up in the early twilight and was busy. She went in and out of the house to sort out the things she needed to go south, and bumped into Cen Ju in the courtyard from time to time.

Over the years, this person has also developed the habit of getting up early. When he met Tang Luoyu, his attitude was far less humble than when he was talking to Xue Lince. Every time he met, he just nodded slightly, which was extremely rude.

Tang Luoyu was busy, so he didn't care about all the vain courtesy for a while, so he just nodded in response.

Cen Ju frowned, walked to the side and sat idle, Baoqin was pruning flowers and branches in the courtyard, so he wandered over to ask her about Tang Luoyu.
