The carriage stopped in front of the Chu Mansion, and Chu Shuang got out of the carriage wearing a purple skirt. She didn't have any jewelry on her body, only an inconspicuous jade hairpin.

Chu Shuang got out of the car with the help of the maid, but she didn't want the butler to greet her personally and said, "Miss, the master told you to go to his study as soon as you come back."

"Okay." Chu Shuang smiled politely and nodded, accompanied by the maid, she went to the study.

"Miss, will the master find anything?" Chu Shuang's maid asked, she looked a little uneasy, and tried her best to restrain herself to hold back the urge to look around.

"No." Chu Shuang said.

It is nothing more than to warn me not to be with that village woman again.I don't know how many times I have said this.Chu Shuang muttered in her heart.But her face remained calm.

When Chu Min saw his favorite daughter-in-law coming in, the veins on his forehead jumped up immediately.No jewelry, wearing a half-worn skirt, no makeup, how can this look like the concubine of the Juefu, who is a collateral blood relative of today's saint!

"Hmph." Chu Min hummed immediately, releasing some righteousness.

"My lord, my daughter is back." Unaffected by his righteousness, Chu Shuang said with a smile.The maid on the side was already trembling, if she was not afraid of embarrassing her own lady, she would have knelt down long ago.

"Look at you, why are you dressed like this again?" Chu Min scolded, "The nuns are all in vain!"

He had great hopes for this concubine daughter. Since she was a child, he had invited the nanny from the palace to teach her, hoping that one day she would be able to fly into the majestic palace wall.

Chu Shuang didn't seem to care, and stuck out her tongue with a relaxed expression: "Father, don't worry, no one will see what I look like."

Chu Min's right index finger and middle finger were pressed against his forehead, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. She was really going to be mad at her. "Who wouldn't know you swaggered into the gate of the Chu Mansion?" Chu Min said.

"Hmm...then I'll go to the corner door next time?" Chu Shuang said, "My lord father, I stewed bird's nest for you before going out, and it's almost ready now, I'll ask them to bring it to you."

Chu Shuang's clear voice reached his ears like a transparent stream.

No matter how angry Chu Min was, she easily stole it away. In the end, she could only stubbornly say: "Give the food to your mother."

"Then I'll send it to mother." Chu Shuang said, lightly stretched his body, and went outside.

Not long after, two bowls of bird's nest were delivered to Chu Min's study and the main courtyard where his wife was.Chu Shuang returned to her room in the west courtyard, closed the door and said to the personal maid, "Look, you are all right."

The personal maid Luo Yang patted her chest: "Miss, you scared me to death."

"You are too timid, why would my father hit me hard?" Chu Shuang smiled, and then asked, "What did that boy tell you just now?"

Today Chu Shuang went to visit Mrs. Liu again, and found that a servant that Tong Ran brought that day was nearby.She asked Luo Yang to talk to the boy, she was afraid of being overheard by the driver in the carriage, so she didn't ask, but now she can finally ask.

Luo Yang recalled it for a while, and said: "The boy said, Mr. Tong asked us to meet at Wanghai Tea House tomorrow, and the name of the private room is Tianmo. He also said, let the young lady sit in the seat facing east."

To the east?

Chu Shuang recollected Luo Yang's words, and asked again: "Did you say anything?"

Luo Yang shook his head: "No."

Finding that Chu Shuang seemed to be really thinking about going, Luo Yang said again: "Miss, let's not go, Mr. Tong is a stranger after all, you go alone... If the master finds out, it's really good Angry."

"We've all been in the same car before." Chu Shuang said, not caring.

"That's different. You got off halfway that day, and you took your own carriage after entering the city. This time, you're in the private room of the tea house!" Luo Yang lowered her voice, but still couldn't hide her excitement.

Chu Shuang's originally smiling eyes darkened for a moment, and then there was some firmness in his eyes.

If Tong Ran can break free from the pressure of family status and walk out of her own way from a small cottage, then she can also break through the defense line of ethics and do something she wants to do.I just don't know what Master Tong wants to say to me?Chu Shuang is looking forward to having more opportunities to communicate with him.

At the same time, in the governor's mansion.

Two days ago, Tong Ran had sent out the documents to the Ministry of War, and You Yang had also sent out scouts. He had communicated with Chu Jun through the jade pendant. Chu Jun was a little awkward for some reason, but he was cooperative in this matter.

"grown ups."

While thinking, Dongqing came back from the outside and went straight to Tong Ran's study.

The little tiger jumped down from the tall museum shelf and leaped lightly into Tong Ran's arms.Tong Ran hugged it, patted its hairy head lovingly and said, "Have you seen it?"

"Going back to my lord, I saw Miss Chu's maid and told her what my lord ordered." Dongqing cupped her hands.

Less than an hour ago, Mrs. Tong came to him suddenly, and ordered him to go to the previous old lady Liu's house to wait for a meeting with Miss Chushuang.He didn't know how Master Tong expected to meet Chu Shuang's master and servant today, but he did meet there.

"Coincidentally, I thought they might go tomorrow or the next day. It seems that you don't need to make a few more trips." Tong Ran said.

Dongqing was stunned for a moment, Master Tong didn't know they were going there today?

Tong Ran saw Dongqing's hesitation, and explained: "I just guessed that with Mrs. Liu's situation, Chu Shuang will definitely visit again." He didn't explain any more, because the little tiger stepped on her again in the middle of the sentence. He stood up on his thighs and patted his chin with a paw.

He guessed that the boy was going to pat his mouth, but unfortunately his hands were too short to pat him.

Tong Ran pulled down the tiger's paw on his chin and said, "Cub, don't make trouble."

"Wow!" The little tiger opened his mouth and roared.

He actually sent Dongqing to see Chushuang's maid while he was sleeping!The little tiger stared at his round green eyes, expressing his anger.

"Are you hungry? I'll let Dongqing get you something to eat later." Tong Ran didn't notice it at all, but thought that those big watery eyes were so pretty, as if the little boy was begging for mercy for his trouble.

Tong Ran touched it affectionately, and taught, "You can't do this in the future."

This education is not very strong, especially for the little tiger. It screamed "Wow--" again, and jumped away from Tong Ran with a kick of its hind legs.

Tong Ran had nothing to do with it, so he quickly ordered Dongqing to serve the little tiger for food.

Not long after Dongqing left, Sang Le and You Yang came to Tong Ran's study one after the other.

Sang Le panted and said, "My lord, the order from the Ministry of War has arrived."

"Great." Tong Ran breathed a sigh of relief, it was still in time.

You Yang's frowning eyebrows seemed to loosen a little. In the past two days, he has been listening to his subordinates to report on the bandits, some of which were collected from nearby villages, and some were sent by spies to investigate on the spot. In short, this is a It is not an exaggeration to say that it is too late for each of them to do so viciously, burning, killing, and looting.

You Yang has already spontaneously started planning to attack them, just waiting for Tong Ran to receive an order from the Ministry of War.

Tong Ran opened the decree, which looked like a memorial, and scanned it. After confirming that there was no problem with the content, he handed it to You Yang: "The Ministry of War said that 5000 people can be mobilized."

"Don't worry, my lord, the general will definitely take over the bandit's nest and give you the leader's head as a ball!" You Yang said, showing a rare trace of the bandit spirit cultivated in the army.

Sang Le, who hadn't left yet, felt a chill rushing up from the soles of his feet, and quietly moved one step to the side, and then another step, moving a little away from You Yang who was wearing armor.

"It's fine as long as you hold it, and you don't need the ball." Tong Ran forced a smile.As a civil servant, he couldn't see such a bloody scene.

"Yes." You Yang didn't care about many details, got the approval, and took the order of the Ministry of War to go back to the camp to transfer troops.

He actually gave five thousand directly.

After You Yang left, Tong Ran raised his eyebrows, it seemed that Chu Jun had put pressure on the Ministry of War a lot.Poor Wu Li.

At dinner time, You Yang sent someone to report that the bandit stockade had been occupied by his men, and they were tracking and strangling the fleeing remnants.He mentioned in the battle report that corresponding preparations have been made in advance, so it should be completed soon.

However, out of caution, he did not say what his preparations were.

After reading the battle report, Tong Ran asked Sang Le to keep it. These will be presented to the court later.

When Tong Ran returned to the bedroom at night, the little tiger had already got into bed and slept.He pinched his brows. He had dealt with a lot of documents this afternoon, met with Gu Lan and Song Gui, and discussed some important matters of the chief envoy and the procuratorate. He was already very tired at this time.

He was thinking about whether he could ask for leave today, and the jade pendant around his waist glowed warmly.

"You're really punctual." Tong Ran poured her righteousness into her and connected to Yupei's communication.

His tone couldn't tell whether it was a complaint or a compliment, it was slightly nasal, and Chu Jun directly took it as a kind of secret coquetry.

Chu Jun on the opposite side snorted softly: "If I don't find you in time, you'll fall asleep again."

"No way." Tong Ran muttered, took off her clothes at the same time, put the jade pendant next to her pillow, and hugged the sleeping little tiger, completely forgetting that she had only let Chu Jun off once two days ago.

Well, that time is not counted, because he took the initiative to contact him that evening, in order to talk about the deployment of troops.

"What did you do today?" Chu Jun asked.

Tong Ran hugged the little tiger's warm body, whispered in the dark, and asked Chu Jun again after speaking.Chu Jun recalled what happened today, and then carefully distinguished which ones were done by himself in the palace and which ones were done by himself as a tiger, and then told Tong Ran about the former.

At the end, he asked again: "What are you going to do tomorrow?"

Tong Ran thought about it: "Wait for You Yang's battle report, and then see how to deal with those bandits."

"What else?" Chu Jun asked.

"Read the documents." Tong Ran said.

Chu Jun was silent for a moment, then said again: "Are you planning to go out? Didn't you say that you bought two chickens for the tiger last time?"

buy chicken?

Tong Ran, who was already very sleepy, had a slow mind, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out. Why did His Majesty the emperor care about his tiger's food reserves?

Finally, he said very calmly: "Well, yes, I'm going to see Chu Shuang tomorrow, just Chu Min's daughter."

Tong Ran inevitably mentioned Chu Shuang when he said about the dispatch of troops, and the next day, after being questioned by Chu Jun, he also recruited the two of them to ride in the same car, and then His Majesty the Emperor, who had no way to come to Chuzhou Mansion, immediately became irritable.

The corner of Tong Ran's mouth curled slightly: "Don't be angry, just say a few words."

"Hmph. How could I be angry because of such a thing." Chu Jun snorted coldly.

Tong Ran smirked, the strong smell of vinegar could not escape even through the jade pendant.But he also knew that it wasn't because Chu Jun was jealous (in fact, he was), but more because they couldn't see each other.

Tong Ran stretched out her hand, held the glowing jade pendant beside the pillow, and traced the raised lines on the pendant little by little with her fingertips.

"The railway has started to be repaired. After the repair is completed, I can often go back to Beijing." Of course, quietly.Tong Ran added in her heart.

"I know." After a while, Chu Jun's voice came from Yu Peili.
