Rebirth of Noble Menjiao

Chapter 160 Study Room

Xue Lin frowned slightly, and after a while he asked, "Have you found out what the high-ranking envoy has taught his wife?"

"I don't know about this. I just heard from the old servants of Jiedu Envoy's Mansion that Madam was taught by Gao Jiedushi personally when she was on Jiannan Road. As for what she was taught, they don't know. "

"I remember... Gao Jieshi's wife passed away long ago, right?" Xue Lin asked.

"Yes! I heard that Princess Jiyang had a quarrel with King Jiyang and returned to Jiannan Road. Only when she arrived did she find out that she was pregnant. Later, the wife was also born in Jiannan Road. Gaojie was reluctant to let go of his granddaughter, so he kept raising her Be around.”

It all seemed to make sense, but Xue Lin always felt a little strange. "You said Madam got sick, when did she get sick?"

"I'm not sure exactly when, but I heard from the old servants that there seemed to be a war in Jiannan Road at that time. The high priest was so busy that he had no chance to go to Zhuangzi to visit his wife. Perhaps this is why the lady would Change your temperament!"

Is there a war on Jiannan Road? Ten years ago...the battle with Tubo. Xue Lin suddenly remembered that when he was in Wangjing, Gao had a strange expression when he mentioned that battle.

When Xue Lin returned to the Governor's Mansion, the sky was just right.

Mingyi had someone move a table under the peach tree in the courtyard, spread paper and ink, and carefully redraw the topographic map of the trip. She was so focused that she didn't notice Xue Lin's arrival at all.

Xue Lin raised his hand. Feng Yu and Wei Yu, who were waiting at the side, did not dare to say anything. They bowed their knees and bowed before retreating. Xue Lin walked slowly behind Ming Yi and watched her write and sketch, After looking at it for a moment, he realized that the painting was exactly the mountain terrain where Jinchang and Guozang soldiers were located. As for the section from Beiguan to Jizhou, I have already painted it, and it is hanging on the side waiting for the ink to dry. Xue Lin had already seen the sketch when she was at Jizhou Inn before. Now this one was carefully drawn again. Even the details were fine. However, both topographic maps had large blank spaces. That was because she had never been there. past place. Xue Lin looked at the cloud-like hair on her head and his eyes flickered slightly.

Mingyi had stopped writing, put the pen on the pen holder, looked at the picture and thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed, making sure that there were no omissions, everything in mind was drawn on the picture, and then she drew it on the picture. Looking away from the picture, she inadvertently saw a shadow falling on the ground. She suddenly turned her head and looked behind her, straight into Xue Lin's deep eyes. She pressed her chest and said, "When did you come? Why not?" Make a sound?"

"I see you are concentrating on painting, so I don't want to disturb you. Nice painting!" Xue Lin's eyes fell on the picture and he said in a deep voice. Although his tone was usually calm, Mingyi could hear some sincere praise. , the smile on his face got even bigger.

But when she saw that he was still wearing the same robe as last night, she was stunned, and then frowned, "Did you go out again last night?"

"Yes, I went to the military camp for something." Xue Lin responded.

"No wonder, no one was seen early in the morning." Mingyi suddenly realized.

"You want to see me for something?" Xue Lin asked.

Mingyi nodded, then felt something was wrong, and added, "It's not that I have anything to do with you. Isn't this Hu Twelve Niang? I heard that you returned home and was very anxious. She asked me to bring her to you. I Seeing that she has been living in the house, she feels very uneasy, and I wish she could go to your horse farm immediately."

Xue Lin nodded, "Madam, could you please go and invite Madam Hu to come to my study, and I'll give her a few words."

Mingyi said "hmm". She was in a hurry at the Hu's racecourse and didn't explain many things clearly. After a while, Mingyi invited Hu Jinyue to Xue Lin's study, but she didn't go in. She just stood under the eaves and looked around casually. The front yard of the Governor's Mansion belongs to Xue Lin. On weekdays, there are many military generals and staff coming and going. Mingyi never comes here. I heard that this study is considered a forbidden area in the mansion. Given their relationship, she is even more reluctant to go in. , so as not to cause trouble in vain.

There were two pines and cypresses planted outside the study. They seemed to be old and well taken care of. They were now like a canopy. Two birds chirped from the branches. Mingyi raised her head and could see the birds on the branches. Jumping, she saw it interestingly, but the bird jumped and flew to a higher branch. She stood on tiptoes and followed it with her eyes. She didn't realize at all that her body was bent backwards, and she was standing on tiptoes. When she moved back, she stepped on a stone and her whole body fell backwards. She was so frightened that her face changed slightly, and she thought she would fall upside down.

"Be careful!" A hand stretched out from behind her at the right time and wrapped around her waist, stopping her falling. Her side eyes met his eyes that were as quiet as the middle of the night. When she stood firm, he had already He moved his hand away and just frowned and said to her in a deep voice.

Mingyi was inexplicably embarrassed and said "Oh" in a low voice. She raised her head and saw Hu Jinyue smiling at her two steps away, with some kind-hearted teasing in her eyes. Somehow, she felt even more embarrassed.

"Madam, please come into the study later." Xue Lin said solemnly. When Mingyi looked up blankly, he had already nodded to Hu Jinyue, then turned around and entered the study.

Mingyi looked at his back blankly, wondering why he asked her to go to the study.

"Madam?" Hu Jinyue walked to her side and called with a smile.

Mingyi turned her head and met her smiling eyes. She somehow remembered what Hu Jinyue said about her and Xue Lin's love as a couple that day. She cleared her throat and thought to herself, it's just a show, don't take it seriously. .

"Have you negotiated with the governor?" Mingyi asked.

"Yes." Hu Jinyue nodded, all the anxiety in his expression was gone, "The Governor said that the horse farm is also in a hurry, and there was a message from Jizhou that the horse breed was on the way, so the Governor has already made arrangements. , I will be escorted to the racecourse in a moment."

Mingyi was also happy to hear this, it was finally a good thing, "So, you can rest assured! From now on, I will rely on you a lot for the racecourse."

"The people next to me don't understand either, so I only know about horses. The governor and his wife have been so kind to me, and I will never forget them. They will do their best in the future, and I will rest assured. If I have time, I will come to the racecourse again, and we will talk about it later." "

Mingyi smiled and looked slightly gloomy. How could it be so easy to get to the racecourse? She never left Wangjing City in her previous life, but now she has gone from Wangjing to Beiguan, and even took a trip to Jizhou. She is very satisfied.

Because of Xue Lin's words just now, Mingyi stayed and told Songfeng to send Hu Jinyue back to the backyard to pack her things. She would definitely go to see him off soon. After Hu Jinyue left, she turned and entered the study.

Although Xue Lin personally told her to come in, Mingyi still had some hesitation in her steps. The room was very quiet. Mingyi didn't see Xue Lin when she raised her eyes, but she took in the layout of the room. In fact, this study is really a study. He even put up a weapons shelf in the study in Xue Mansion in Wangjing City. Nowadays, all the weapons have been placed in the martial arts arena. In addition to a large book table placed by the window, the other three sides of the study room are lined with bookshelves filled with books. Aren't you talking about having a mud-legged background? Aren't you talking about being a reckless man? Are there so many books just for show? So outside, you always act like you don't know a few words, but you can do it but never speak? What a contradiction!

Of course, she always knew that when he didn't speak, he would do something great. She couldn't count how many times she was choked by him and her heart ached.
