In the Cining Palace, Zhu Yunmo wiped his sweat, held the melon and ate it clean for the last bite, wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and looked at the Queen Mother.

"The emperor's grandmother is the best. The ice crystal has been very cool and sweet, so it won't be hot after eating it."

The empress dowager waved her hand and asked Madam Cui to take the things away quickly, and looked at Zhu Yunmo and Su Xiaoxiao with a suspicious look on her face.

"Don't let the Ai family worry, tell me what's wrong with Lord Liu?"

Zhu Yunmo curled his lips, his face was unhappy, and he hummed and acted foolishly.

"The emperor's grandmother is really partial. She just thought about Xiu'er, Xiu'er and her brother. As soon as Sun Chen came, you can't let Sun Chen take a break. I'll say that if I'm anxious."

The empress dowager raised her hand and burst into tears on Zhu Yunmo's head, which scared Zhu Yunmo and was so aggrieved that she almost cried when she covered her head.

Su Xiaoxiao gave him a blank look, and said in her heart that she deserved it. She quickly approached the empress dowager and told the empress dowager about Tongzhou.

"Then Mr. Liu Renli is busy in the fields every day. He has dismissed all the chores in the backyard of the prefecture. He has personally studied all the planting issues and wants to build feed workshops and greenhouses. He has been tired every day and has to rest for a while.

He was darker than ordinary farmers and lost dozens of kilograms. When his daughter saw him, she didn't recognize him at first, but in just a few months, she was more than ten years old. At first, she just felt tired. Zhou...Zhongyuan's uncle wanted to show him that he didn't agree.

After we went there, we were busy for a few days. They were working on five-year plans and had not slept for several days. Uncle Zhongyuan couldn't stand it and was forced to discuss all the way. Just when he returned to Tongzhou City, he vomited blood and fainted.

Bo Zhongyuan said that his illness was coming in great danger and he had to be treated well. When we returned to Beijing, the crisis was stabilized, so we had to go to inspect it, and no one could persuade him.

Fortunately, a Miss Feng was present and took out the jade pendant that Lord Liu gave him and started taking care of him. Lord Liu no longer arranged the program."

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and heard a little bit of a choice. In particular, Zhu Yunmo blinked at Su Xiaoxiao tightly, and even grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's hand.

"Ms. Feng? Tell me about the Ai family, who is Miss Feng?"

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't see Zhu Yunmo's eyes. Zhu Yunmo was so anxious that she wanted to step forward, but the Empress Dowager scolded him.

"You little monkey, while waiting, the Ai family wants to listen to Miss Su Wu."

Su Xiaoxiao seemed to feel that she had said too much, so she quickly lowered her head and the empress dowager comforted her:

"Don't be scared, tell the Ai family quickly. Is this Miss Feng from Tongzhou?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. She had never talked much. The story she just said was the longest sentence, and now she was even more concise.

"I am from Tongzhou, my father is a scholar. Lord Liu seems to have asked someone to propose marriage many times, but she did not agree."

The queen mother was stunned and looked at Madam Cui beside her, with her face full of disbelief. A fifth-rank magistrate who has refused to propose marriage to you many times. Could it be that the eldest lady of aristocratic family?

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is only one person in the court named Feng, who is still a governor who has lived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a long time. He is a scholar's father. He seems to have nothing to do with this, and finally asked suspiciously:

"Why don't you agree? Is it because the Feng family has a prominent family?"

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head.

"On the contrary, Miss Feng and his family are barely barely, and Feng Xiucai is a teacher. Miss Feng was married before, but the man died before the sedan chair entered the door, and the in-laws directly sent her back.

Miss Feng felt that she was a widow and had a bad reputation, so she never agreed. However, this time she heard that Mr. Liu was seriously ill and went to the door to take care of her clothes in confusion. We were very moved when we saw it. She was definitely a well-educated and responsible woman."

The Empress Dowager was stunned. She had discussed Liu Renli's marriage with Xiu'er and the others before.

Unexpectedly, he had already had a crush on his lover, and he felt unhappy in his heart, but he was instantly attracted by the woman's life experience.

Although Daliang is relatively open-minded, the experience of this woman is also sad. She died on the day of her wedding and was sent back directly by her in-laws. She was ruined in this life.

The reason why she disagreed was that she didn't want her to influence Liu Renli, after all, the identity difference was too big.

But if a woman doesn't like her, how could she appear when the other party is in trouble?

Being able to stand up to take care of her at this time is enough to show that she is affectionate to Liu Renli, but it is just due to the secular vision.

"Then what?"

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned and shook her head and didn't understand the empress dowager's meaning.

"Then we came back. Uncle Zhongyuan said that Mr. Liu's illness was probably contagious and needed to eat alone, so Miss Feng made food for him and took care of him personally.

We didn't go there after that. After all, he was worried about the construction of the workshop and the greenhouse. He could only return to Beijing first and help find someone to go to the construction."

The Queen Mother took a breath of cold air, and her face became a little more serious.

"Wait, do you mean that Liu Renli's disease may be contagious?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "Boy Zhongyuan said that the cause of the disease is not yet judged, but it is a contagious liver disease, so we have to eat alone. The tableware needs to be boiled and cannot be mixed with others. There is no problem with other contact. Besides, it is just a prevention now, and there is no final confirmation. We are in a hurry to leave without waiting for the results of his diagnosis and treatment."

As soon as this sentence was finished, a voice sounded.

"My mother is so lively here, why is anyone sick?"

When Su Xiaoxiao heard this voice, she subconsciously stood up quickly, then knelt down and saluted.

Zhu Yunmo turned around and found out that it was the emperor, so he followed him to greet him quickly.

"Uncle Prince Saint An!"

"My daughter, please come to your Majesty!"

The old emperor waved his hand and signaled them to get up, then sat beside the empress dowager.

"As soon as I got off the court, I thought about coming over to see my mother, but before I came in, I heard the chatting in it. Who is sick and mobilizing so much?"

Zhu Yunmo quickly said, "Miss Su Wu and I just returned from Tongzhou last night. Tongzhou magistrate Liu Renli and Liu were ill. Zhou Heng and Qingping County Lord stayed in Tongzhou to take care of him. Because the emperor's grandmother had asked about Lord Liu's marriage before, I would like to report back and forth today."

The old emperor was stunned. Looking at the faces of the people who were very serious, he knew that the matter was true, and pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and said:

"What the hell is going on?"

Su Xiaoxiao quickly bowed and repeated what she had just said to the Empress Dowager. After hearing this, the emperor sighed and glanced at Fang Jizhong.

"I didn't let you stare at Tongzhou, why didn't such a big thing come back? If Zhou Heng and the others hadn't visited Liu Aiqing, wouldn't they be in trouble?"

Fang Jizhong shivered and quickly knelt down in fear and fear.

After all, he was busy with the Jinwu Sect's affairs, and he really didn't care about anything else, so he couldn't answer it for a while, but the Jinwu Sect's affairs could not be explained clearly, so he could only bow his head and let the wrong ones.

"It's all the old slave's negligence. Please punish him!"

Zhu Yunmo took a look and felt like a mirror in his heart. The matter of the Golden Crow Sect had already made Fang Jizhong feel anxious. Now he said this was just a show of doing things.

"Uncle Huang, don't blame Eunuch Fang. The first thing Lord Liu did when he woke up was to make people appease the people. So he just heard some people he met at the city gate, but it did not spread the news. Naturally, Eunuch Fang didn't know about it."

Fang Jizhong gave a look of gratitude. Zhu Yunmo lowered his head and deliberately didn't look over. The old emperor waved his hand and signaled them to get up.

"Everyone get up. What is the five-year plan you just mentioned? Liu Renli has not submitted a report, why don't I know?"

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. Although she heard a few words these days, she didn't know the details.

Zhu Yunmo quickly smiled and approached the old emperor, and Fang Jizhong made way out.

"Uncle Huang is the content discussed by Lord Liu and Zhou Heng. There are north-south goods distributed in Tongzhou Canal Wharf, but when they come and go to the capital, they do not pass through Tongzhou City. Moreover, the existing roads have been disrepaired for a long time, and the official roads in Tianjin are also damaged.

This five-year plan is to use a development perspective to plan the development of Tongzhou within five years, make good use of the distribution of canal goods, so that the goods from Tianjin can be transported to the capital more easily, and transactions can be carried out in Tongzhou City, attracting merchants to build workshops, after all, it is convenient to transport.

Of course, there are also feed processing workshops, seedling greenhouses and other projects, all in this five-year plan. I don’t hear much, it’s just the fur. They have been discussing for many days and have conducted detailed investigations, including the planning of the road routes and regions, how to transfer land, anyway.”

The old emperor originally thought it was a lively listening, but the more he heard it, the more he felt that the plan was simply too powerful. This was to treat Tongzhou as a distribution place for the capital.

If these are all superficial, then wouldn’t a real detailed plan be more detailed?

The old emperor glanced at Zhu Yunmo and it was obvious that Liu Renli was tired. Su Xiaoxiao said just now that Liu Renli had lost dozens of pounds. He remembered that Liu Renli was originally very thin. If he lost dozens of pounds, wouldn’t he be skinny? How tired is this to be so?

"Oh, thank you really for your hard work. If all the magistrates in the court can match half of Liu Aiqing, I can rest assured."

The Queen Mother sighed and patted the emperor on the arm.

"The Ai family thinks that Liu Renli is really a down-to-earth and hardworking person. He is already at the age of thirty and has not yet married. The Ai family originally wanted to give him a marriage, so they asked him to go over and ask him what he meant, but he didn't expect that he already had a sweetheart."

The old emperor was stunned. Such a thing is a good thing. Generally, the empress dowager will decide on his own and will not tell him. There must be differences in saying this today.

Thinking of this, the old emperor looked at the empress dowager. The empress dowager coughed, lowered his voice and whispered in the old emperor's ear. Seeing that the old emperor was stunned, he even patted him.

The old emperor paused for a moment before looking at Su Xiaoxiao.

"Have you seen this Miss Feng?"

Since the emperor entered the door, Su Xiaoxiao has never raised her head at all, and now she has even lowered her head.

"Yes, my daughter has met Miss Feng. At that time, she heard that Mr. Liu suddenly felt sick and fainted, and vomited blood and was worried about her life. This person went directly to the inn.

On the surface, she was not too sad, but she was very determined to go in and take care of Lord Liu. She also took out the jade pendant given by Lord Liu. She said that Lord Liu had proposed marriage to her, so she came to take care of her rightfulness."

The empress dowager raised her handkerchief and wiped the corner of her eyes. A woman could do this to such an extent. She was really a person who dared to love and hate. She initially disagreed because she wanted to protect Liu Renli, but finally took the initiative to agree, which was even more sincere.

"Emperor, the Ai family has never seen such a woman. She was not allowed to choose what happened before. Who knew that her husband passed away on the day of marriage? This is the woman's sorrow. The Ai family thinks this girl is very good, so you can help them!"

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Zhu Yunmo and Su Xiaoxiao all looked at the old emperor.

He smiled and naturally these people understood that Liu Renli was seriously ill now and was tired. If giving marriage was considered a kind of grace to him, then this kind of favor might as well be a little bigger.

"Just giving marriage alone will be criticized by women from a middle-aged family in Beijing in the future. It is better for the queen to accept an adopted daughter for the eighth son. With the protection of the Ning Prince's Mansion, I think I can support the store in the future."

The empress dowager was stunned and then smiled on her face. She thought that the emperor would agree, but she didn't expect that she could be so happy. What a great honor. If she had been earned by King Ning, it would be far away from the shortcomings of King Ning without a daughter.

"Okay, the Ai family thinks this proposal is very good. If you enter the Ning Wang family genealogy, you don't need to change your surname and give it to the Lord of Xianghe County. What's the point?"

The old emperor smiled, "My mother is thoughtful and Liu Renli is working hard for Daliang. No matter how much I give, I cannot express my mood at this moment. If he can fulfill his little wish, it will be considered a good story."

Zhu Yunmo was a little confused. He had an extra sister for no reason. In this way, he and Xiu'er were considered in-laws, but the fact that this matter could reach this level was beyond Zhu Yunmo's expectations.

"Thank you, uncle and grandmother, for your contribution, but Sun Chen of the Ning Prince's Mansion has not been there for several months. When the Xu Mansion was about to take it back, the people from the Xu Mansion had been to Ning Prince's Mansion and said that they all went to Changping, so why would they place this sister in my prince's mansion?"
