Chapter 1280 Love the House and the Dog
Zhu Feng sat in the chair, silent for a while, then raised his head and said to them, "Okay, I understand. You can go down first."
"……yes."
The two young men retreated from the study.
Gu Yiyou looked back hesitantly, then looked at Tong Sinian.
He whispered, "Is the Emperor unhappy?"
“…”
"Do you think we are both useless?"
“…”
"But we two did find out, how come we didn't even get a good one?"
Tong Sinian had originally looked cautious and serious, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but laugh. He glared at Gu Yiyou and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If Uncle Gu hears you, you'll have to kneel in the ancestral hall again."
Hearing the words "kneel in the ancestral hall", Gu Yiyou immediately stuck out his tongue.
The two people walked a few steps away.
Tong Sinian then said, "The Emperor is a very cautious man. The two of us followed him this time as relatives of the Imperial Concubine. If we don't make some achievements, our reputation as relatives by marriage will be tarnished."
“…”
"It's reasonable for the Emperor not to praise us. After all, this isn't much of a credit."
“…”
"Only after you capture the Thermidor can you have your own name."
Gu Yiyou listened and nodded.
What he said makes sense.
Success is a long process for a person. No one can achieve it overnight. Moreover, in front of the emperor, one must be more cautious in what he says and does.
So, the two of them discussed it and slowly left.
Zhu Feng sat in the chair, thought for a while, asked someone to spread out the map, and wrote and drew on it. Time passed by unknowingly.
By the time he came to his senses, it was already evening.
The sun sets.
The sandstorm that had been raging all day finally calmed down at this time. Some snacks were sent from the kitchen. Zhu Feng ate some and asked Xiao Shunzi while drinking tea, "What's going on outside?"
Xiao Shunzi replied: "The kitchen is still resting, but there is no problem starting the fire."
"Well, where's Ran Xiaoyu?"
"The Imperial Concubine had her beaten with twenty boards, and now she has returned to Lord Ye's room."
"Twenty strokes of the cane."
Zhu Feng listened, smiled and shook his head.
This was considered an explanation to both the superiors and the subordinates, but Ran Xiaoyu was also stubborn and refused to rest at all.
Speaking of which, the people around Nan Yan - except for her two sisters who are ignorant of their own danger, the others are really all good. It's not that he loves everyone else, but even apart from their relationship with the imperial concubine, these people have some qualities that he values.
Even the two young men, Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian, said when they came to report the situation to their soldiers that they had been lying in the snow for most of the day, and even went down to the middle of the cliff to investigate the situation there.
It is not easy for a young man from a prominent family to achieve this.
In the future, it can be used.
But, use it with caution.
He did not want to see the rise of another big family, nor did he want a major case like Emperor Gao's killing of meritorious officials to occur during his reign.
After resting for a while, he left the study and walked towards Nanyan's residence.
When I got there, I found that Nan Yan had not returned yet.
He couldn't help but frown.
Why is that blind woman so troublesome? She hasn’t figured out the truth after all this time?
He sat in Nan Yan's room for a while, and seeing that Nan Yan had not come back yet, he was about to get up to look for her. As he reached the door, he saw Nan Yan pushing the door open and coming in.
In the night, her face was slightly pale.
