"Let's go!"

With Xiao Yi's order, the soldiers got on their horses.

No matter how many people were around, Xiao Yi still saw Nangong Yue at a glance. He moved his lips and said to her silently: ...I will come back safely.

There is no beauty, but there are promises.

Xiao Yi pulled the reins and rode away first.

The formation of horse hooves seemed to shake the entire military camp.

Nangong Yue watched them leave the camp, praying silently in her heart.

I hope they can all return safely...

Until those soldiers could no longer be seen, Nangong Yue, Fu Yunyan and his entourage returned to Bixiaotang in the same green-covered carriage they had come in.

After getting off the carriage, Fu Yunyan couldn't help but glance at Nangong Yue secretly again. Seeing Fu Yunyan's cautious look, Nangong Yue felt a warm current in her heart. How lucky she is to have such a friend!

"Liu Niang, I'm fine!" She held Fu Yunyan's arm affectionately, smiled at her, and then looked up at the sky.

Fu Yunyan couldn't help but follow Nangong Yue's gaze and blurted out: "Xiao Hui!"

I saw an eagle with spread wings hovering in the sky in front of me. It seemed to have noticed the gazes of Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan, and it let out a loud cry, as if it was greeting the two girls. It hovered above their heads. It circled around and then flew away without any regret.

Nangong Yue looked at Xiao Hui's figure gradually turning into a black dot in the distance, and said with a smile: "Liu Niang, A Yi is an eagle. I married him and became his wife because I hope to do the same thing." His wings allow him to fly freely in the vast blue sky, instead of becoming a cage that traps him!"

Fu Yunyan stared blankly at Nangong Yue's side face. The afterglow of the setting sun shone gently on Nangong Yue's body, face, and eyes. Those dark eyes seemed like the night sky, reflecting thousands of stars.

Fu Yunyan was a little obsessed for a moment, thinking A Yue was really beautiful.

She felt that Nangong Yue made a mistake in saying that A-Yue was not A-Yi’s wings, but A-Yi’s sky...

A Yi, this brat, is really lucky!

Fu Yunyan smiled again.

As soon as she returned home, Nangong Yue immediately went to Tingyu Pavilion and informed Old Master Fang about Xiao Yi's expedition.

Mr. Fang couldn't help being a little stunned when he heard this, but thinking that Nangong Yue was young and might be more worried than himself, he didn't dare to show anything, and even comforted her for a while, vowing that Xiao Yi would be safe. return.

Nangong Yue is naturally so convinced!

So, she will wait for him to come back...

After leaving Tingyu Pavilion, Nangong Yue went to Yunliyuan where Yongyang lived.

Yongyang had already heard Fu Yunyan's story at this time.

The mission of a military general is to rush to the battlefield at all times and kill the enemy in blood. Yongyang knew it, had experienced it personally, and even lost a lot because of it. She knew this feeling, so she felt even more sorry for Nangong Yue.

This is just a little girl under fifteen years old...

Yongyang waved, called Nangong Yue to him, and looked at her carefully. Her eyes were bright and there was a slight smile on her lips. There was no displeasure or reluctance in her expression.

Yongyang felt relieved and only said one sentence, "Yueer, you are fine."

Nangong Yue smiled, a little shy.

Fu Yunyan on the side was confused, but he also laughed, and the somewhat solemn atmosphere was dispelled by this smile.

After leaving Yunli Courtyard, she ordered people to call all the nuns in charge to Xihong Hall, informing them that the prince had led his troops to go on an expedition, and ordered that the door should be strictly guarded from today on, and there should be no slack, let alone Discuss privately.

After sending away the housekeepers, Nangong Yue went to the study room in the front yard and called Zhu Xing to give her some instructions.

When everything was taken care of, Nanliang made a sneak attack and the news that the crown prince Xiao Yi led his troops to the expedition had been reported back to the palace.

For a time, everyone in the palace couldn't help but think of the battle with Baiyue the year before last. There was some commotion and unrest, and there were even more discussions in private. Only Bixiaotang remained stable.

At this time, Nangong Yue had returned to her yard. Before she could change her clothes, Huamei hurriedly came over and reported: "Prince Concubine, Your Majesty, please come to the study."

Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows for a long time, nodded and said, "I understand."

Huamei hesitated to speak, thinking: The prince is going on an expedition. I wonder if it will be difficult for the prince to call the prince to go.

Huamei's cautious gaze made Nangong Yue purse her lips and chuckle. She could foresee that she would spend the next few days worrying about them.

Forget it, they will know that they are fine in a few days anyway.

Nangong Yue straightened her clothes and left the house.

Going through a hanging flower door, she entered the palace, walked through the garden, and walked through the long corridor. But in the main courtyard of the palace, King Zhennan was waiting for her in the study room of the main courtyard.

As soon as Nangong Yue entered the door, she was met by King Zhennan's rare soft expression. Seeing a hint of guilt in his eyes, she had a rough idea.

"Father." Nangong Yue respectfully blessed the King of Zhennan and said, "I wonder what the father's instructions are for calling my daughter-in-law here?"

"Prince Princess, please sit down first." King Zhennan had a hint of embarrassment on his face. He and his daughter-in-law had not spoken a few words, but most of the scenes were unpleasant.

He collected his thoughts and said: "Prince Concubine, A Yi has already led troops to Huiling City to support..."

Nanliang raided, and the southeastern border was in danger.

The King of Zhennan was also in the military camp at that time. Although he did not like to fight rashly, Nanliang was beaten right before his eyes, so there was no reason to let them fight.

However, the battle with Baiyue the year before last left King Zhennan still frightened. The front line needed to be guarded, and Xiao Yi bravely led the troops on the expedition. He was actually relieved.

But after coming back, he thought that the princess had just arrived in southern Xinjiang and Xiao Yi was about to go on an expedition and would not be able to return for at least several months. He still felt a little guilty in his heart, and he was also worried that she would feel resentful and complain to her because of this. What is Yongyang complaining about? So, he specially called her here to comfort her.

Nangong Yue bowed and replied: "Go back to my father, my daughter-in-law has already learned about it."

The King of Zhennan glanced at Nangong Yue in surprise. He thought she didn't know about this yet, so she was so calm, but he didn't expect that she already knew about it, but she didn't cry at every turn...

From this point of view, it is much better than Xiao Fangshi.

The King of Zhennan cleared his throat, assumed the dignity of a father, and said in an admonishing tone: "Our Zhennan Palace is a family of military generals, and it is the duty of the Palace to protect our southern border. A Yi As the crown prince, he should set an example for all the generals!"

"My father is right." Nangong Yue nodded repeatedly and said with a cautious look, "Let my daughter-in-law be taught a lesson! When the prince is away on an expedition, my daughter-in-law will definitely take good care of the inner house so that he has no worries!"

The King of Zhennan did not expect that today’s conversation would go so smoothly. He picked up the tea cup with a smile, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and thought to himself: I used to think that this daughter-in-law had many tricks and encouraged his son to go against him, but now It seems to be pretty good, she is worthy of being a lady from a famous family, and she is quite knowledgeable! This is what the royal concubine of their palace should be like!

"It's just that my daughter-in-law has something to report to her father." Nangong Yue said respectfully, "A few days ago, my father asked the prince and his daughter-in-law to sort out and check the property account books left by their grandfather. The king ordered that it should be done as soon as possible. The prince is currently away on an expedition, so the daughter-in-law thought that she could calculate all the accounts for the past years first, and then report to her father the division of the property after the prince comes back. However, there is no one in Bixiaotang. People who are proficient in arithmetic, so can my father allow my daughter-in-law to recruit one or two people in Luoyue City?"

The King of Zhennan slightly nodded his head.

The princess's concerns are not wrong. That boy Xiao Yi is not here, so it is indeed inappropriate to divide the property now, but it is feasible to settle the accounts clearly in advance.

The imperial concubine is quite good. She even knows how to ask her father for his opinion. As expected, she was taught by the Shilin family and is much more respectful than the rebellious son. King Zhennan felt that she should still give her some face. Anyway, she was just recruiting an accountant, so he agreed: "Just do as you say."

Nangong Yue blessed her body and said respectfully: "Thank you, father."

He waved his hand and asked Nangong Yue to retreat.

After leaving the study room, Nangong Yue had a smile on her lips.

The recruitment of a "bookkeeper" was discussed with Xiao Yi two days ago. Now with King Zhennan's permission, things can be handled more "properly"...

If you straighten out the property that your grandfather gave to A Yi earlier, you will be able to raise more money to make more repeating crossbows for A Yi, making him even more powerful!

Nangong Yue was in a good mood and even walked a lot more briskly.

As soon as she returned to Bixiaotang's small study room, she told Baihui to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and she dictated it. Baihui wrote it in handwriting and wrote a notice recruiting accountants in a few strokes.

Huamei, who was waiting for Baihui's pen and ink, read the notice with great interest, and then couldn't wait to ask for it: "Prince Concubine, I will take it to Butler Zhu later and ask him to post it early tomorrow morning. Get out."

It’s really lively now...

Tomorrow morning, I will quietly go to the North City Gate to join in the fun.

Speaking of the North Gate of Luoyue City, there are two notice boards there that are known to everyone in the city. The one on the left is a government notice board that can only post official documents, and the one on the right is a notice board for a certain person decades ago. The city gates are guarded and people are allowed to post them at will, but old notices will be cleared away by the city gate soldiers on a regular basis.

Over the years, various notices have appeared one after another for people looking for people, things, jobs, etc., attracting more and more people to watch.

This morning, the notice board was also very busy. No, in other words, the number of people was nearly double that of previous days.

A scholar in green robe wearing a square scarf looked at the crowded crowd and frowned slightly. He wanted to turn around and leave, but he thought that the family would soon be in trouble. His grandmother and sister were still waiting for him to find a job to supplement the family income. , and although he does not have to be repaired in the academy, he still needs money to buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

He took a deep breath and planned to wait until the crowd dispersed before looking at the notice board.

After a moment, he saw a familiar figure squeeze out of the crowd. It was a young man of medium height, wearing a gray shorts, with a Chinese character face and dark skin. As soon as the young man in gray clothes saw the scholar, he greeted him affectionately: "Master Ye, you are also here to look for a job." There was a hint of hospitality in his tone.

The green-robed scholar, Mr. Ye, smiled unnaturally.

The young man in gray said enthusiastically: "Mr. Ye, you came just in time. I just saw a job on the notice board today that is very suitable for you, Mr. Ye!"

Master Ye finally cheered up a little and asked: "Brother Li, may I ask what your job is?"

"I remember Mr. Li also studied arithmetic in the academy, right?"

When the young man surnamed Li said this, Mr. Ye immediately pursed his lips in disappointment. It seemed that it was just a bookkeeping room like a shop. Also, if there is really any good work, why would it be posted here!

The young man surnamed Li did not notice the other party's waning interest and continued: "Master Ye, this is the Prince of Zhennan... No, it should be said that the prince paid a thousand gold to hire the accountant!" After a pause, he couldn't hold himself back. He said excitedly, "Although you are just the accountant, Mr. Ye, with your talent and learning, you will definitely be appreciated by the prince, and you will rise to the top in the future?"

Is it the prince of Zhennan who wants to hire an accountant, and a rich man to hire an accountant? ! Mr. Ye also showed some interest. Could this be buying bones for a thousand dollars? This prince is quite interesting.

Hey, although it is indeed a bit humiliating to be a bookkeeper by myself, for the sake of his grandmother, his sister, his future, his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he must go!

At this time, several more people squeezed out from the crowd in front of the notice board, all whispering to each other in high spirits:

"Your Majesty, I have to go back and talk to my brother-in-law. He used to be a bookkeeper at Daxing Bank..."

"Your brother-in-law's ability to dial abacus is really top-notch. I originally wanted to join in the fun, but it seems I'd better not waste this time!"

"But, did you hear that the prince is going on an expedition?" Another old man suddenly interjected.

"You set out yesterday, right?" A middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's just a counting house, so the prince doesn't need to personally select people, right?"

What he said made several people agree.

The young master Ye glanced at those people and strode away, but he was thoughtful in his heart. Thousands of gold are spent on bones, and the prince happens to be away. Could it be that the person in charge of this matter is the prince's concubine? It is not impossible to hear that this princess is the legitimate daughter of the Nangong family...

With your own talents, it would be easy to win the job of a mere accountant.

Master Ye left in high spirits, his steps much lighter than when he came.

Early in the morning two days later, there was a long queue outside a corner door next to the main gate of Wangfu East Street. A steward registered the name behind the corner door, and then a waiter ushered the people into Bixiaotang.

In the main hall of Shu Zhi Hall in the front yard, dozens of tables and chairs were arranged neatly. On each table were placed pens, inks, paper, inkstones and an abacus. Mr. Ye walked in under the guidance of a boy In the hall, I looked around without leaving any trace, and I already had a rough idea in my mind.

This should be an exam. Only by passing this test can you meet the person in charge.

Although he has only been in Bixiaotang for less than a quarter of an hour, Mr. Ye has already gained a new perspective on the Prince of Zhennan whom he has never seen before. Before, he only heard that Prince Xiao was a dandy, crazy and did whatever he wanted, even with all his shortcomings. , but on the battlefield, he has the style of being an ancestor. For Nanjiang, he can barely be regarded as a qualified prince.

Now it seems that it is more than just that.

Every one of the servants of Bixiaotang has strict rules, handles things neatly, and responds appropriately. They don't even look at outsiders like them casually.

While thinking about it, Young Master Ye had been led by the boy to sit behind one of the tables.

Looking at the papers on the table, he raised his lips confidently. He was the first in arithmetic in Qingmao Academy. He dared not say anything else. In arithmetic, especially mental arithmetic, he was confident that he would not lose to anyone.

The assessment has begun. For a while, I could only hear the sound of the abacus clicking from time to time, but Mr. Ye was writing and immersed himself in doing the questions. Only one-third of the prescribed time for burning an incense had passed, and he had already put away his pen. , then glanced casually, and just as he was about to stand up, he heard a "clack" sound coming from behind him on his right. It seemed that someone bumped into the chair behind him when he stood up.

When Master Ye looked back, he saw a young man wearing an azure shirt had stood up. He seemed to be in his twenties, and his face was fair, but his face was a little gloomy.

Mr. Ye frowned slightly, immediately turned back and stood up. He was surprised and confused: This person was actually one step ahead of himself?

He was a little unhappy, but then he said to himself, maybe he was born as a bookkeeper? In the final analysis, I still have to study the Four Books and Five Classics on weekdays, and arithmetic is just a heretic.

Immediately, a servant led them to the west wing to wait.

After another incense stick, there were only six people left in the west side hall, and the others had been politely invited away by the waiter.

Master Ye couldn't help but glance at the young man in the azure shirt. As expected, this man was also left behind. Listening to the name given by the boy just now, it seems that the other person's surname is Shen.

At this time, a maid wearing a pomegranate red plain lake silk jacket walked into the west side hall.

Since they entered Bixiao Hall, the servants have been greeting them. Now a girl suddenly came, which made the six people who stayed behind a little surprised.

The maid walked calmly in front of them, coughed dryly to attract everyone's attention, and then said loudly: "You are all outstanding in arithmetic, but our prince employs people not only based on talent but also on learning. I need to know your character, family background, and past experiences... If you have any inconvenience to say, please feel free to leave."

After a few words, everyone in the west hall had different reactions, some were confused, some were nervous, some were embarrassed... and some were calm, just like Mr. Ye.

Master Ye straightened his back and looked around at everyone openly. He believed that he was aboveboard and could tell others everything he wanted. His eyes paused on the young man surnamed Shen for a moment, and he keenly noticed that the young man seemed a little nervous, a little uneasy, and seemed to have something unspeakable...

Mr. Ye curled his lips sarcastically and looked away.

Seeing that no one was leaving, the maid slowly walked up to an old man and stretched out her hand to make a petition: "Mr. Huang, please come with me."

After the old man left, after a stick of incense was separated, the maid came to invite the second person away, and the third person... Mr. Ye was the second to last person.

"Master Ye, please go this way!"

The maid kept an appropriate distance from him and led him slowly to the east side hall. In the hall, there was a steward, a maid in green sitting behind a red lacquered carved book case, writing, and another in green. The maid in clothes stood aside.

When Mr. Ye's eyes fell on the maid in green who was writing the pen, he was slightly startled.

The other person looks so familiar!

And when he looked at the maid in green clothes, he almost lost his composure.

He knew both of these two maids. In late March, in the Yellow Crane Tower...

Scenes of that time flashed through Mr. Ye's mind. He clearly remembered that the masters of these two maids were four handsome young men. And since they appeared here at this moment, wouldn't they represent the four men of that day? One of the young doctors turned out to be Prince Xiao!

Master Ye's face suddenly looked not good-looking. He remembered that in the Yellow Crane Tower, one of the young people described her as beautiful. There was always a careless smile on the corner of his mouth, but his demeanor made people dare not underestimate him. That one wouldn't Is he the prince of Zhennan? !

Although I just said a fair word at the time, it always hurt Prince Xiao's face...

However, even if he offended Prince Xiao, since Prince Xiao wanted to buy bones for a thousand dollars, he should be a man of merit.

Thinking like this, Mr. Ye felt relieved again. Based on his talent alone, he would not lose to anyone!

The steward smiled politely and said: "My surname is Lu. Everyone calls me Aunt Lu. Do you dare to ask Mr. Ye's name?"

"I, Ye Yinming," he said slowly.

This question is just a formality. In fact, everyone had already left their names when registering at the door and during the exam in the main hall just now.

Next, Grandma Lu asked about her age, place of origin, and college...

Ye Yinming cheered up and answered one by one.

I don’t know how long it took, Ye Yinming left the east side hall under the guidance of the maid in pomegranate red trousers, and happened to pass by another person, it was the person surnamed Shen who was the last one in line. youth.

The young man surnamed Shen paused outside the threshold of the east side hall, and finally crossed the threshold resolutely, as if he had made some important decision...

After he sat down in the hall, Mother Lu's first question was still about his name.

He simply gave three words: "Shen Chengye."

The name Chengye represents his father's expectations for him. He originally hoped that his son would inherit his father's legacy, but now things have changed.

Actually, he is still not sure whether it is right or wrong to come here today. It’s just that yesterday when he was drinking tea in the tea house, he heard the news that the prince wanted a daughter to hire a bookkeeper. After tossing and turning all night, he couldn’t help but come here. Bixiaotang.

At this time, Baihui, who was writing behind the desk, suddenly put down the pen in his hand and asked the second question: "Master Shen, may I ask what your father's name is..."

Mama Lu looked at Baihui in surprise, but she was also a smart person. The surname "Shen" was so familiar. For an old man like her from the palace, she naturally thought of this person. Could it be Say——

Will it be after an old friend?

Shen Chengye trembled slightly, and his hesitant, dazed, and tangled eyes suddenly became clear.

He suddenly understood that his father had not been forgotten. The prince has not forgotten it, so neither has the prince concubine!

His eyes couldn't help but become slightly moist, he calmed down and said slowly: "My late father Shen Ping." His father's real name was Shen Dagou, and the name "Ping" was given by his master! It's a pity that my father never accepted this name in his life.

Mother Lu took a breath, it was really the son of Manager Shen Da!

After Manager Shen Da committed suicide and died, the Shen Ping family was so sad that they left Luoyue City with their family, never to be heard from again. Grandma Lu still remembers that Manager Shen Da got this son when he was nearly forty years old. He was so precious that he only called him by his nickname Yingge.

There was a sound of curtain lifting, and Shen Chengye reflexively looked in the direction of the curtain, with a vague guess in his heart.

Sure enough, a young lady about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a purple moiré flower gown, walked out of the Toji room on the other side of the curtain. The maids and nuns in the room all stood up and bowed. salute.

Shen Chengye immediately realized that she must be the Crown Princess!

Shen Chengye quickly stood up and bowed respectfully: "I have seen the Crown Princess!"

He performed this ceremony sincerely, and there was a voice in his heart telling him that maybe the time has finally come! He never believed that his father who loved him so much would commit suicide. He always wanted to find the truth, but his mother seemed to be afraid of something and used filial piety to stop him!

Until my mother passed away three years ago!

After he paid homage to his mother, he finally couldn't help but come to Luoyue City, where he had been staying for more than half a year.

He did not know how many times he passed the gate of the palace, but did not have the courage to enter until today.

Nangong Yue looked deeply at Shen Chengye, her heart was filled with ups and downs, and she said slowly: "No courtesy."

This time she offered a reward of a thousand gold to find Mr. Accountant, and she really wanted to buy his bones for a thousand gold.

A thousand gold can buy bones, and a thousand gold is willing to buy horse bones, so naturally they are willing to buy a thousand-mile horse at a higher price.

Nangong Yue is using this incident to tell the entire southern Xinjiang that the Crown Prince Xiao Yi is thirsty for talents!

But what Nangong Yue didn't expect was that there would be such a big surprise waiting for her - the son of Housekeeper Shen actually came to her door on his own!

At the beginning, she had sent people to find the nephew of the manager of Shen University, but due to the passage of time, she found nothing.

God's destiny is clear, but people have finally been found!
