Bai Yuegang of Prince Ning's Mansion

Chapter 217 Friends
There are still three days until the New Year's Eve, and Ruixue originally planned to celebrate the New Year in Zhuangshang this year.

There was no arrangement in Prince Ning's mansion, it was bare everywhere, neither red silk nor lanterns, it looked a bit bleak.

As soon as he left Zhao Fengnian's house, Gu Yu brought a lot of famous posters to find him.

Because Zhao Fengnian showed his face at the palace banquet yesterday, today someone handed over a letter of worship and wanted to establish a relationship with Zhao Fengnian.

Ruixue took a few and flipped through them casually, and found that they were all magistrates from remote counties.

Mostly they want to get close to Li Jiuchen who lives here through Prince Ning's Mansion.

Ruixue doesn't want to offend anyone, who knows if there will be a place where she can use it in the future.

Received all the posts and said to Gu Yu.

"I'm afraid they won't be able to see him, but since we have sent you a famous post, we can't keep him out, otherwise your prince's reputation will be stigmatized out of the capital."

"In this way, you can tell them the truth. The prince is very busy with various affairs every day. It is unrealistic to meet them one by one. If you want to come to Prince Ning's mansion, we welcome you. Just send them out after you have entertained them."

Gu Yu frowned: "Is this okay, will it cause trouble for the prince, he doesn't like to do such things, and it's not good to spread them to the ears of the Holy One."

Ruixue tightened her cloak: "Is there any good or bad? It's already like this, how bad can it be? His fault."

Gu Yu could only follow Rui Xue, holding a bunch of famous posts, and ran to reply one by one.

Ruixue went out of the yard and went to the kitchen, but the cook had disappeared.

It seems that last night, not only Zhao Fengnian did not come back, but Li Jiuchen also did not come back.

After returning to his room, the accounts and money sent by Huaiyu this morning were on the table.

Opening the booklet, there is a small note inside, which was written to her by Huaiyu.

Xiaoxing said that when Huaiyu brought the money, she didn't mention what happened at the dinner party yesterday, so it seemed inconvenient to talk about it.

The note only said to reassure Ruixue that Jiang Huai was also left in the palace yesterday.

Ruixue became more and more puzzled, not knowing what the sage was up to, and playing tricks on each other.

After sorting out the accounts, I wrote a note and asked someone to send it to the village.

If Zhao Fengnian doesn't come back, Ruixue is worried about leaving Prince Ning's Mansion. To avoid worrying Rongniang, it's better to tell her.

It was ten minutes after lunch, and guests came to the house.

Gu Jingjue brought some New Year gifts to Ruixue for New Year greetings.

Ruixue joked with her, "You really know how to pick a time, so come to my house for dinner."

Gu Jingjue was stunned for a moment, but then she realized that she covered her mouth and laughed.

Meeting Ruixue alone, Gu Jingjue lost the energy of single-minded pursuit, and seemed a lot more relaxed and casual.

He retorted: "It's still a prince's mansion, and I'm afraid you won't make it if I'm poor."

Ruixue got up with a smile, and led her to the dining hall.

If Gu Jingjue didn't come, Ruixue would eat casually in the house, but he was a guest after all, so he came with a gift.

It's too casual, it's really inappropriate, so I ordered Xiao Xing to add two more dishes, anyway, since Li Jiuchen is not around, his cook is not in vain.

Looking at Gu Jingjue's appearance, she didn't just come here to wish her New Year's greetings.

While waiting for the food, Gu Jingjue explained his intentions. Sure enough, Ruixue still likes to associate with such talkative people.

"Early this morning, my father received an order from the palace to let him enter the palace to face the saint. I didn't come back when I went out, so I thought that he went to see the saint with King Ning yesterday, and wanted to come and ask Did King Ning also listen to the call and enter the palace?"

Ruixue didn't answer her right away.

She didn't know what Zhao Fengnian and Gu Chengyun said when they went to see the Holy Majesty at the banquet yesterday.

Hearing what Gu Jingjue said, Gu Chengyun was only called into the palace today, and did not stay in the palace last night.

Push the brewed tea to Gu Jingjue's hand.

"Did your father tell you what he and the prince said yesterday on the other side of the holy place?"

Gu Jingjue glanced at Ruixue, as if he was hesitating whether to tell Ruixue the truth.

Thinking that I had come here to seek help from others, I had nothing to hide.

"Prince Ning wants to recommend my father to serve in the northern region, and it is best to leave as soon as possible. Originally, my father had this intention. After being transferred back to Kyoto from the southern region, he also submitted a few papers, but he was ignored by the sage."

Ruixue frowned slightly, Zhao Fengnian recommended Gu Chengyun to go to the north, what about himself.

It's not that they keep clamoring to go back to the North.

"anything else?"

Gu Jingjue seemed a little surprised that Ruixue would ask her such a question.

"Didn't King Ning tell you that His Majesty did not allow him to leave the capital? My father said that His Majesty lost his temper with him yesterday."

It turned out to be like this, Ruixue knew it in her heart, no wonder he wanted to drink like that.

Gu Chengyun was chosen because he couldn't go back.

"The prince is not in the mansion now, your father was called into the palace early in the morning, there is probably hope for this matter."

Gu Jingjue nodded lightly: "I hope, I can't stay in this capital for a day."

Ruixue smiled lightly and patted him on the shoulder.

Gu Jingjue is a little different from those noble girls living in Kyoto.

Previously, she desperately wanted to blend in, but also to clear up the relationship with her father.

It's just that his style of acting is not smart enough, which caused some eyes.

Maybe only the unfettered places in the north and south are more suitable for her.

A few side dishes were put on the table, and Ruixue specially asked Xiao Xing to bring a bottle of wine.

The two chatted while eating, getting to know each other better.

"If your father is sent to the north, will your whole family go with him?"

Gu Jingjue shook her head: "Probably not. If you still serve as a general, you won't have too many restrictions. If you receive a military talisman, your family members will probably stay in front of the Holy Majesty. In case..."

Ruixue nodded understandingly, in order not to lead the troops to rebel against others, she must keep the hostages so that the generals who lead the troops will be afraid.

"But I made an agreement with my brother, it's good for him and his mother to stay in the capital, and I can go to the north with my father."

When Gu Jingjue said this, Ruixue thought of Rong Niang who was still recuperating in the village, and she was also going to the north.

If she can be with Gu Jingjue and take care of each other, she can feel much more at ease.

It's just that many things have not been confirmed yet, and Ruixue can't tell Gu Jingjue about Rongniang.

He picked up the vegetables and put them on Gu Jingjue's plate.

"By the way, at the time of the snow disaster in the northern border, the sisters pooled up money to build a charitable hall in the northern border, you know."

Gu Jingjue nodded, and Ruixue continued.

"If you really followed your father to the north, can you help me with this matter?"

Gu Jingjue was a little embarrassed, and the chopsticks for picking up vegetables stopped.

"It's not that I don't want to, you also know what their attitude is towards me."
