After the general's legitimate daughter was reborn, the ascetic prime minister pinched her wais

Chapter 4 Thank you for the escort’s friendship
Walking through the bustling city all the way, you will reach the Prime Minister's Mansion at the end.

Unexpectedly, Gao Wenyan would walk this road many times later, just to look at the lights of the Prime Minister's Mansion from a distance and gain peace of mind for a night.

There was an old slave standing at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He seemed to have been waiting for a long time and looked at her with a smile.

He said respectfully: "The Prime Minister told me that if the girl comes back, you might as well go to the house to have a cup of tea before leaving, which can be regarded as a thank you for the friendship of escorting the girl."

This is not like inviting someone to drink tea. There is no room for rejection even inside and outside the words.

She wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd!

So she raised her chin and said, "Just lead the way."

Having said that, this was Gao Wenyan's first time entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she couldn't help but feel nervous. She just wanted to avoid following her second brother's words of "causing trouble."

"Girl, sit here for a while. The prime minister is picking up guests and will be here soon."

Chu Xu had no time and even tricked her into coming in. As expected, there were little foxes under the old fox.

Incense was burning everywhere in the prime minister's house, and Gao Wenyan was not used to it for a while.

General Gao is a rough man, and it is rare to see incense in his house.

Mrs. Gao has the same temperament as General Gao and is not very interested in these things, but her second brother occasionally smokes them.

One time, her second brother suddenly fell in love with agarwood. General Gao couldn't see that he was such a waste of money, so he threw him out with the incense.

She thought that Chu Xu would probably be kicked out of the house if he used incense in such a large area.

No wonder he and her father had political disagreements.

After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, she saw Chu Xu arriving late.

The timing is also good, whether it's fast or slow, I really have enough airs.

His face was still pale, perhaps because he had changed into light purple clothes, but his face looked much better than before on the carriage.

Gao Wenyan sniffed carefully. He could smell a hint of medicinal smell before, but now only a faint hint of sandalwood was left.

The two of them drank tea in silence. She was thinking about how to say goodbye when she heard Chu Xu speak.

"I heard that General Gao has returned to Beijing today. Maybe you haven't seen the general for a long time."

After calculating the time, Gao Wenyan answered truthfully: "Yes, I haven't seen him for a year."

He nodded, she smiled, and silence fell again.

Perhaps it was because of the incense that Gao Wenyan's nerves, which had been tense all day, gradually relaxed.

Chu Xu's fingers tapped on the table all the time. His fingers were long and strong, but as white as onions.

Gao Wenyan had never seen such beautiful hands before. He glanced at them briefly, moved his eyes away, and couldn't help but take another look.

His face was slightly cold, he didn't know what he was thinking, he was very absorbed.

So he concentrated on his own affairs, and Gao Wenyan concentrated on admiring his hands, which was considered harmonious for a while.

After a long time, I heard him say: "I have a merciless request."

"The little girl at home has been saying that she wants to learn riding and shooting every day. I wonder if she can give me some advice?"

After hearing this, Gao Wenyan calmly looked away with a look of embarrassment on his face.

He took a light sip of tea and continued: "I don't want to bother you, but is there any woman in the capital who can surpass you?"

Of course not.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, but she was quickly weighing the pros and cons in her mind.

On the way here, she thought carefully about it. When the Gao family was investigated in her previous life, she had never heard her father mention the prime minister's house.

On the contrary, I heard him say it once or twice on weekdays. Although Chu Xu was determined to retaliate, he did not bother to use dirty methods because of his high position.

No matter what Chu Xu'an's intentions were, he was eager to owe a favor, and Gao Wenyan thought he had no reason to refuse.

One more friend is better than one more enemy.If Chu Xu is determined to be an enemy, then knowing yourself and the enemy is not a bad thing.

So she nodded and agreed: "Don't let my father know."

Chu Xu smiled when he heard this and promised, "Don't worry, my lady. Apart from the three of us, no one else will know about this matter."

He glanced at the sky outside the window and said leisurely: "I still have something to do, so I won't keep the girl at the banquet."

"Tomorrow Zhixing will go to the general's mansion to pick up the girl, so I will trouble the girl."

Gao heard that Yanru was pardoned and immediately said goodbye to him.Before the person had gone far, he heard a suppressed cough behind him that didn't stop for a long time.

The prime minister who calls the shots in the court is actually a sick man?
No wonder she doesn't get along with her father.

"Master Xiang!"

Just hearing a loud shout, several people around him rushed into the house as if a pot had exploded.

Looking back, Gao Wenyan was several meters away from him, and he could still clearly see the blood stains on his clothes, and his originally pale lips were stained brightly with blood.

She had to admit that their prime minister did have a good skin.

Chu Xu slowly raised his eyes, looking straight at her through several people.

Gao Wenyan touched his nose sheepishly, walked back quickly, and asked, "Is there anything wrong, Prime Minister?"

With a little smile in his eyes, he asked: "Zhixing has gone to invite the doctor. Can the lady help me to the room?"

Even now, he can still laugh.

Gao Wenyan glanced at the three people around her who were looking at her eagerly, a white-haired old slave, a frail maid, and a child with droopy hair. There was really no more suitable candidate than her.

"It should be."

She nodded and silently recorded this favor in her account.

She helped Chu Xu up. It was not as light as she thought, but rather heavy. She could vaguely feel the muscle lines of his arms in her hands.

That shouldn’t be the case. Aren’t you sick?

"Watch out for the steps."

"okay."

Fortunately, the wing was right next to it, and we arrived within a few steps.

The wing room is usually used by guests who stay in the mansion, and it is kept very clean.

Just as he sat down, Chu Xu coughed up another mouthful of blood.

The old slave was so frightened that his words were filled with tears.

"Oh! It was fine yesterday, what happened today! Master, don't scare this old slave!"

Sudden illness?

Realizing that Gao Wenyan was sizing him up, Chu Xu smiled at her instead.

Gao Wenyan curled his lips, "My Lord, please wipe the blood that spilled from the corners of your mouth first."

Within a short while, Zhixing brought the doctor back.

Poor doctor, he was thought to be walking slowly, so he was almost carried here by Zhixing.

Now that the doctor has arrived, Gao Wenyan can finally go home this time.

"Girl."

His voice was clear and clear, not like a seriously ill person at all.

"What happened today is not enough for outsiders to understand."

"That's natural."

As soon as Gao Wenyan left, Chu Xu's face finally showed the tired look that a patient should have.

"Go and ask the lady if she wants to learn archery riding."

"what?"

The old slave is in a dilemma. Everyone in the house knows that the young lady hates being in the sun and refuses to go out when the weather gets even a little hot.

Chu Xu pondered for a moment and gave in.

"One month."

"If she goes to learn for a month, the pair of green and white jade statues will be hers."

The old slave then took the order and left.
