"Hmph!" Xia Mingxuan looked back at Zhu Linan who had already walked away and snorted coldly.
In fact, Xia Mingxuan had known Zhu Linan for a long time.
At that time, they had just moved from Qilai County to Tiandu and were unfamiliar with the place. She was busy taking people to purchase various things, while Xia Mingyuan and Xia Mingxu were busy starting their jobs.
Xia Mingyuan was promoted to the fourth rank, and his son was also appointed as a seventh-rank official in the Dali Temple, and could directly try officials.
Although this official position is a bit low, it is a great blessing for Xia Mingxu. He came to take up the post early, got up early and went to bed late every day, and was eager to finish trying all the cases squeezed out of the Dali Temple.
It was fine for a day or two, but after a long time, Mrs. Xia Ping became a little worried and was troubled every day. After all, she hadn't seen her son for a month since she came to Tiandu, and she was afraid that he would exhaust himself.
So, after Mrs. Xia sighed again and again, Xia Mingxuan prepared some food and pastries and went to the Dali Temple with his maid.
There were many people in the Dali Temple, so Xia Mingxuan brought more food, and naturally brought an extra maid and a servant.
When she arrived at the Dali Temple, it was very busy. She looked for several people but no one paid any attention to them. Several managers were in a hurry and kept saying that he was a rare talent and could solve the case in one day.
Xia Mingxuan was also curious after hearing this, so he simply followed.
On the way, Xia Mingxuan learned that during the trial today, all the methods and motives of a prisoner in the court were discovered by the presiding judge.
The criminal was also a smart man, with sophisticated methods of committing the crime. He could have gotten away with it without any mistakes, but he happened to meet a very observant judge who not only reconstructed the entire process of his crime, but also described it word for word. In the end, he even emphasized how stupid his omission was.
Perhaps the prisoner was a little mentally abnormal. After being provoked like this, he couldn't bear it and took out a knife from his arms and stabbed the presiding judge.
The presiding judge was none other than Xia Mingxuan's younger brother, Xia Mingxu.
Xia Mingxuan happened to see this scene and was immediately frightened, letting out a scream in an instant.
At the critical moment, a moon-white figure fell from the sky, with flying sleeves, and with a few movements, he blocked the knife in the man's hand.
"Snap", the knife fell to the ground.
A man stood in front of the man.
She wore a moon-white undershirt with an outer shirt of the same color on the outside. An exquisite pattern of the same color could be seen on the collar. Her hair was tied up high. Her face was angular, cold and hard yet gentle, giving a feeling of being in a beautiful and bright scene.
The man kicked the prisoner down and uttered two words softly from his thin lips, "Take him away!"
Everyone then reacted and arrested the criminal and took him away.
Only then did the man look at Xia Mingxuan.
That look still carried a bit of the coldness that he hadn't had time to retract, but it also clearly had a soothing effect.
Xia Mingxuan nodded at him from a distance and bowed perfunctorily. When he looked up again, the man was gone.
Xia Mingxu rushed over and said, "Sister, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but are you hurt?"
"No!" Xia Mingxu smiled. "Don't you know what I'm capable of?"
"I know, I know." Xia Mingxuan poked his head. "I was just startled, and I was worried. But who was that person just now?"
"Who is it? The one who just saved me?"
"right."
"He is the most upright and impartial Dali Temple Minister, Zhu Lin'an."
It was only then that Xia Mingxuan realized that this was Zhu Linan.
This incident was just a small episode. Later, Xia Mingxu mentioned inadvertently that the food and cakes sent by Xia Mingxuan were very popular with their colleagues, especially the cakes. Even the Dali Temple Minister ate an extra piece.
Xia Mingxu knew that this was a pastry made by Xia Mingxuan himself, and no one else had such skills, so Xia Mingxu took the opportunity to praise Xia Mingxuan.
In response to this, Zhu Linan, who rarely commented on ordinary matters, said lightly, "My sister is a kind and elegant woman."
After saying that, he ate another cake and left.
Leaving only the crowd looking at each other in bewilderment.
"This..." One of them murmured after Zhu Linan left, "I've been with the adults for so many years, and this is the first time I know that the adults only like to eat sweet things."
"Needless to say, it's the first time for me to know this too."
The two men were Shaoqing of the Dali Temple and Zhu Linan's right-hand men. After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and simultaneously set their sights on Xia Mingxu.
Xia Mingxu, on the other hand, was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
I thought, so what if Zhu Linan likes sweet food?
Later, when Xia Mingxu talked about this incident at home, Xia Mingxuan's face slowly turned red.
However, Xia Mingxu, who never cared about this matter, did not notice anything unusual.
Later, Xia Mingxuan went to the shop to check the accounts.
This shop was newly opened after they came to Tiandu. It involves various industries. However, Ping has been busy with Xia Mingxu's marriage recently and has been exhausted. She has no time to take care of it, so the affairs of these shops have fallen on Xia Mingxuan.
After checking the accounts, Xia Mingxuan passed by a small stall and was attracted by the roasted chestnuts on the roadside.
Xia Mingxuan ordered the car to stop, and the maid beside him immediately got out to buy it. Xia Mingxuan smiled and said, "Let's go together."
Having said that, he got off the carriage.
Xia Mingxuan got off the carriage in gorgeous clothes and instantly attracted the attention of everyone on the street.
