"I'm even polite to me. Just tell me if you have anything to do!" Princess Chengyang smiled while playing with the perfume bottle. Although she didn't say it clearly, she had long regarded Zhang Zong as her nephew.

"Well, that's right. My cousin and his sister-in-law actually elopemented." Zhang Zong said a little disgusted. After all, elopement is not something worth boasting about in this era.

"Oh, I didn't expect that your cousin looked gentle and gentle, and she had such courage!" Princess Chengyang's eyes lit up when she heard this. Zhang Jing did not leave any deep impression on her before, but now she felt a little appreciative.

"It's not what you think, the eldest princess, the cousin and the cousin had an engagement, but later the cousin's father wanted to break the marriage, so they made such a helpless move."

Zhang Zong talked about the experience of Zhang Jing and his wife, and finally told his request: "My cousin's father is the governor of Xiangzhou, and my uncle and others are also in Xiangzhou. I am worried that the other party will attack the uncle and others because of my cousin's affairs, so I want to ask the eldest princess to find a way to help the uncle and others!"

"Hehe, so that's it, it's a trivial matter. I remember that the governor of Xiangzhou seemed to be Xie. Last year, when our family returned to Beijing from Fangzhou, we passed by Xiangzhou. The governor of Xie was very thorough. I will write him a letter tomorrow to ensure that he would not dare to touch your uncle's hair!" Princess Chengyang chuckled after hearing this.

Although the governor can be called a rank-level official, it depends on who he is. With the identity of Princess Chengyang, a mere governor cannot catch her eyes. For example, Zhang Zong’s request does not even have to use her identity as the eldest princess. Just using her husband’s family, that is, the power of the Xue family, is enough to make the other party obedient.

"Thank you, Princess!" Zhang Zong finally felt relieved after hearing this. Although he did not have much deep feelings for the tribesmen in Xiangzhou, in this era, the family was the foundation for a single person, especially like Zhang Zong alone and helpless. For example, when it comes to the manor, he couldn't even find a account before Zhang Jing and his wife came.

After seeing off Princess Chengyang and Xue Shao, Zhang Zong was the only one left at home, and Zhang Jing and his wife moved away, which made him breathe a sigh of relief: It is the most comfortable to live alone!

"But if someone can help with washing and cooking, it would be a good thing!" Zhang Zong suddenly said to himself again. However, after thinking about it, he soon put this matter behind his mind and began to plan the renovation of his house at home.

A few days later, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang went on a tour of Luoyang, and Li Hong also followed him. Although this tour was destined to not achieve the purpose of Wu Meiniang's hope, it had already been decided before and it was impossible to change now.

In fact, since Wu Meiniang became the queen, she and Li Zhi have often traveled back and forth between Luoyang and Chang'an. Some people say that Wu Meiniang did too many bad things in Tai Chi Palace, such as torture and killing Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, which made her afraid to live in Tai Chi Palace. It is even legendary that she once saw the ghosts of Queen Wang and the two of them seeking her life, so Wu Meiniang persuaded Li Zhi to go to Luoyang frequently.

The day before Li Hong left, he also quietly sent someone to see Zhang Zong and expressed his gratitude to him. In addition, he originally wanted to come to find Zhang Zong in person, but because there are too many people staring at him now, he did not dare to get too close to Zhang Zong. In addition, he also told Zhang Zong that in order to ensure Zhang Zong's safety, he also secretly sent some people to protect him around Zhang Zong's family.

When Zhang Zong learned that Li Hong was sending people to protect him around him, he secretly frowned. He believed in Li Hong's character, and he would never send people to protect him for no reason. Unless Li Hong got some news, he would worry about his safety. In this way, Wu Meiniang probably already had some doubts.

"Wu Meiniang may not have noticed a little person like me, but she should have felt that there is someone behind him from some of Li Hong's performances, so she wanted to send someone to find out. It seems that I will be more careful in the future." Zhang Zong also said to himself again after careful consideration.

"Dongdong, Brother Shi!" At this moment, Zhang Zong suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the door, followed by a familiar voice from Xue Shao, which made Zhang Zong smile helplessly. It seemed that he had to cook more food at noon today.

Zhang Zong opened the courtyard door, and what surprised him was that in addition to Xue Shao, there was a pink and tender little girl outside the door. She was only at Xue Shao's chest, and her white and tender little face was a little shy. Although she was not old, she could tell that she was definitely a beauty.

"Let me guess, this person should be your sister Ning'er, right?" Zhang Zong quickly reacted at this time and smiled kindly at the girl.

"That's right, this is Ning'er. My mother is not at home, so she insists on coming to see you!" Xue Shao smiled helplessly at this time. Princess Chengyang also went to Luoyang with Li Zhi. In fact, almost half of the nobles and officials in Chang'an City went to Chang'an, which made Chang'an look deserted.

"Ninger greets Brother Shi!" Xue Ninger came forward nervously at this time and said with a polite face, and her little face turned even more ashamed. After all, she rarely went out. Although she had heard a lot of things about Zhang Zong from Xue Shao, she still felt a little shy when she first met.

"Ning'er, you are the third sister, so of course I am my sister. Please come in quickly!" Zhang Zong also smiled and invited the other party in and said, "Who doesn't like the pink and tender little girl? Of course, there is nothing dirty like this kind of liking. Zhang Zong has not yet made any mistakes about a little girl."

Xue Shao had been familiar with Zhang Zong's place, but this was the first time Xue Ning'er came. After entering the flower garden, she looked around curiously. At this time, Xue Shao then expressed his intention to Zhang Zong and said, "Brother Shi, do you still have two-color roses here? The two-color roses you gave to my mother last time are dead."

"Diet? Why did you die?" Zhang Zong also looked at Xue Ning'er next to him in surprise and said, if he remembered correctly, after giving the two-color rose to Princess Chengyang, she was handed over to Xue Ning'er for care. After all, the princess is known as "hard-handed flower destroying", and even if the weeds are in her hands, she can raise them to death.

"I originally had a good raising and it kept blooming, but during the heavy rain a few days ago, I forgot to move them back to my room, but after being wet from the rain, it grew worse and worse. In the end, the leaves fell and could not be saved anymore!" Xue Ning'er's eyes turned red at this time and replied.

Although Xue Ning'er is young, she also likes to grow flowers and grass, and the two two-color roses are always taken care of by her, which makes her feel affection for the two roses. Now that the rose is dead, she is naturally very sad.

"So that's the case. It's probably because the rain is too heavy, causing the roots to rot and die." Zhang Zong quickly calculated the cause of the death of Rose after hearing this.

"Does Brother Shi still have two-color roses here? Ning'er was sad for a long time after Rose died. He didn't even have a good meal!" Xue Shao asked again at this time, and Xue Ning'er next to him showed a embarrassed expression when she heard his brother's words.

"It's really a coincidence. The two-color roses I sold out last time. I haven't had time to graft the new two-color roses. The main reason is that the weather is so hot now, even if it's grafted, it's difficult to survive." Zhang Zong spread his hands and said helplessly.

The weather is so hot that not only people can't stand it, but also plants. For example, in his flowerbed, even a few jasmine that are known as "unsanitary" have been sunburned to death. As for many roses, they have become bare and their growth has completely stopped and they cannot be grafted at all.

When Xue Ning'er's eyes immediately turned red when she heard that there were no two-color roses here, she hurriedly said again: "Although the two-color roses are gone, I still have two-color chrysanthemums here. If you like them, take a few pots back!"

"I don't like chrysanthemums, they're smelly!" Xue Ning'er was a ten-year-old girl after all. She said willfully at this time. She burst into tears as she said, and she couldn't stop crying. Crystal tears flowed down her pointed chin.

"Brother Shi, think of a solution!" Seeing his sister crying again, Xue Shao next to him also said in a hurry.

"Your own sister asked me to coax it?" Zhang Zong was also amused and cried at this time, and he had no experience in coaxing the little girl.
