Chapter 631: Follow Shao's Old Father
"Yeah." Liu Jian nodded.
Is there a problem with this?
If there is any problem, the responsibility lies entirely with his father, and has nothing to do with him.
"Why don't you come earlier!" San Ya really wanted to punch him.
It's so infuriating that he ignores the important matter and calls her "sister" and "sister" here.
Xiao Yan brought his family back to receive the order.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Xiao Yan is loyal, brave, diligent, and has made outstanding contributions. His wife, Ms. Lu, is virtuous and has assisted her husband with great service. You two are ordered to depart in two weeks to appear before the Emperor in the capital and await his reward. This is decreed—"
The content of the imperial edict was extremely concise, and the core was just one sentence: You and your wife are told to come to Beijing quickly, and the emperor will reward you.
Xiao Yan received the imperial edict.
San Ya couldn't help but curl her lips.
Zhang Heyao was granted the title of the Prince's Tutor and the First-Rank Imperial Teacher. He had all the real official positions, power, and noble titles.
When I arrived at their house, I was dismissed with a casual remark, "Go to the capital and await your reward."
So all the generals are wronged?
"Sister, are you unhappy?" Liu Jian came over and asked.
"I'm happy. Thank you for your grace." San Ya said lazily.
"No, you're not."
Sanya put her hand to the corner of her mouth and pulled it, "Are you happy now?"
"Sister, sister—"
Sanya's head was buzzing.
Yun Ting nudged Jiang Xuan with his elbow and winked at him - See, this guy's status is not as good as mine?
At least he is halfway there.
Jiang Xuan had a blank expression on his face - childish, the pot calling the kettle black. In front of him, they were all younger brothers.
"Sister, I want to talk to you alone for a while." Liu Jian also felt that someone was peeking at him and felt a little embarrassed.
Sanya thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take you out for something nice to eat. Let's go through the back door—"
The Crown Prince arrived, and many curious people gathered at the front door to watch.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, sister."
Lu Qiniang was a little worried.
This guy is the prince, a treasure trove, and nothing can go wrong with him.
She secretly said to Xiao Yan: "How about you follow him secretly?"
Xiao Yan: That’s exactly what I meant.
"Protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and don't let anything happen under our noses."
Xiao Yan disagreed.
He felt that it was San Ya who needed protection.
Liu Jian clearly came to kidnap his daughter.
From the moment Xiao Yan saw him, alarm bells started ringing in his heart.
Just like that, as soon as San Ya took Liu Jian out, Xiao Yan followed quietly.
San Ya took Liu Jian to a busy mutton soup stall at the foot of the city wall with familiarity.
There are a few greasy wooden tables and benches, and a big pot of steaming milky white soup bubbling on the roadside. The rich aroma of mutton soup penetrates the nose domineeringly, mixed with the scent of chopped green onions and coriander, which makes people's appetites aroused.
"Boss, two big bowls of soup, with more meat! And half a pound of mutton offal, and two big pancakes!" San Ya called out loudly, and pulled the somewhat uneasy Liu Jian to find a corner seat.
Liu Jian looked at the shiny table and subconsciously wanted to take out a handkerchief to wipe it, but when he saw San Ya sitting down nonchalantly, he resisted the urge.
His sister is such a happy person, he thought to himself.
Soon, two large bowls of rich, milky white mutton soup were served, sprinkled with green chopped green onions and coriander, with thick slices of mutton floating in the soup, and the aroma was fragrant.
The boss brought out a plate of finely chopped mutton offal and a stack of freshly baked, crispy and fragrant fried buns.
San Ya broke the pancake into pieces and soaked it in the soup, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating it in big mouthfuls. Fine beads of sweat soon appeared on her forehead.
"Eat quickly! It will taste fishy if it gets cold!" She urged Liu Jian vaguely.
Liu Jian imitated her, clumsily breaking the pancake and carefully drinking a sip of the soup.
In an instant, the delicious and mellow mutton soup exploded in the mouth, with the slight spiciness of pepper and the unique aroma of mutton, and the warm feeling went from the throat to the stomach.
Liu Jian's eyes lit up: "Sister, it's delicious."
"Of course, the place I picked couldn't be wrong." San Ya said proudly, "It's quite considerate of me to treat you to such delicious food."
"That's very kind." Liu Jian said quickly, "Originally, I thought my sister would be angry with me and ignore me."
It turned out not to be the case.
Not only was his sister not angry, she even brought him here to eat delicious food.
My sister is so nice to him.
It has to be my sister.
"Why am I mad at you? In your mind, I'm just an angry toad?"
You are indeed in my heart.
Liu Jian only dared to think in his heart, but said: "My father and mother, this matter is not fair. They clearly know that your family does not like Zhang Heyao, but they still favor him the most."
"Don't talk nonsense." San Ya put down the bowl after taking a big sip of soup, her eyes calm. "Publicity is public, private is private. We value civility over military affairs. It has been like this since ancient times."
The emperor and the empress were no exception.
And although people are reluctant to admit it, in fact, civil servants do play a greater role in governing the country.
"Sister, aren't you angry?" Liu Jian looked at San Ya eagerly.
"I'm not angry." San Ya said firmly, "Besides, our family's relationship with Zhang Heyao is pretty good now. We're not close, but we're not enemies either. No matter what, this has to be for my brother's sake. You know what happened to my brother, right?"
"I know, I know." Liu Jian nodded repeatedly, "Your eldest sister talked to my mother and asked her to see if she could recognize your brother."
"Um."
San Ya thought that if they didn’t know, then she would inform the emperor and empress through Liu Jian this time.
Sooner or later, I will recognize my younger brother.
Liu Jian felt relieved: "On the way here, I was worried that my sister would become distant from me because of this incident. Fortunately, she didn't."
"Let's eat." San Ya was too lazy to listen to his "angry talk" over and over again.
Liu Jian also enjoyed the meal very much.
San Ya asked the boss to pack five pounds of cooked mutton and two pounds of mutton offal.
While they were waiting, Liu Jian suddenly pointed at a figure behind Sanya, who had his back to them, and said, "If I hadn't just come out of your house and seen your father, I would have thought that your father was eating here too!"
San Ya's body stiffened.
That's her father.
She noticed it as soon as Xiao Yan came in.
She also knew that her father was wary of her falling in love.
Actually, how could that be?
She had seen the vastest land in the northwest and the highest sky, so how could she be willing to be trapped in the backyard?
In fact, she had already figured out many things.
Her mind has never wavered.
"Sister, let's go back quickly. I forgot, there's one more thing that Mother specifically told me."
Sanya: "..."
What a fool.
I specifically told you this, you just remembered it.
If I hadn't warned you, would you have been thrown to Java?
