The letter was written on the finest Chengxintang paper, with only a few words on it: "See you again at Xiangyun Restaurant in Yining." It was signed by Xie Yun.
She had never seen Xie Yun's handwriting before, right? Besides, what did Xie Yun want to see her for?
Yi Ning was a little suspicious, so he put the letter aside for the time being and ignored it.
When Luo Shenyuan returned that evening, Yi Ning was still playing with Nan Ge'er at Lin Hairu's place. Luo Shenyuan went to the main room to pay his respects. After a few days of marriage, the child had finally grown close to her. He stopped crying and clasped his arms around her neck, but once he glanced at Luo Shenyuan, he immediately turned his head and ignored him. Yi Ning smiled and patted his little butt.
Lin Hairu likes Nan Ge'er and Yining to be close.
Today, Luo Chengzhang was having dinner at home. Yi Ning bowed and called him "Father." Luo Chengzhang's expression relaxed slightly. After all, he had raised her as his daughter for so many years. Thinking of Yi Ning's childhood, he didn't feel completely disgusted.
People who raise cats and dogs have feelings for them, let alone children.
A moment later, Luo Yilian and Luo Xuanyuan entered, greeting Luo Chengzhang and Luo Shenyuan respectively. After Luo Xuanyuan sat down, Luo Chengzhang asked him about his studies. He answered fluently, his voice clear and youthful. Luo Yilian said, "Father, I see that Xuan-ge is studying very hard, and there aren't many maids and servants for him in the mansion. I'd like to ask you to assign a few more to look after him so he can concentrate on his studies."
Luo Shenyuan had always loved these two siblings, so he turned his head and asked Lin Hairu, "How many people did you assign to serve Brother Xuan?"
Lin Hairu said, "Four maids, two old women, and four servants. That's just enough. When Shen Yuan was studying, he only had three or four people to serve him. What's the point of using so many!"
Luo Yilian bit her lip slightly. Her younger brother had been raised by everyone since he was a child. Luo Shenyuan was just an unpopular bastard at that time. How could he be compared like this?
"Then let's assign two more maids." Luo Chengzhang said, "He's older now, so he'll need more help."
"No." Luo Shenyuan said calmly, chopsticks clicking softly, "There are enough people. It's not like we can't lift them with our hands or shoulders."
Luo Chengzhang felt a little embarrassed after being refuted by his son in person.
Luo Xuanyuan stood up when he heard this, a smile on his handsome face: "Third brother is right, there are already enough people serving, I can do some things myself, so there is no need to add more people to serve."
He then calmly shook Luo Yilian's hand and told her sister not to say anything more.
After all, there's no point in arguing about this kind of thing.
Luo Yining watched the two people's actions silently.
After finishing the meal, Yi Ning walked back beside Luo Shenyuan and said to him, "Xuan Ge'er has made great progress in the past few years. When I left, I remember that he and Luo Yilian were still on bad terms. How come they are getting along now?"
Luo Xuanyuan looked back at her before saying, "Blood ties cannot be easily severed. Luo Xuanyuan is also a smart man. If his sister treats him well, he will naturally repay her."
After all, Luo Xuanyuan has the blood of the Luo family and is a brother of the third brother. As long as he is raised in the right way, he will be fine.
The Luo family was now headed by the third brother, and no one would disobey his wishes. No matter how smart Luo Xuanyuan was, he would never be able to surpass Luo Shenyuan. He was still far behind. Yi Ning asked, "Will you also take care of him?"
"There are many things going on in the court, and I don't care much about family matters." Luo Shenyuan told her, "But after entering the court, I understand that family is closely related to people. When he goes out, people will only say that this is Luo Shenyuan's younger brother, not Luo Xuanyuan."
Luo Shenyuan now represents the entire Luo family. If someone in his family is not good, it will also affect his reputation.
Yining thought he was very rational.
He still has to look at the official letter from the Ministry of Industry after he returns. Yining rolled up her sleeves tonight, ready to help him.
The candlelight burned quietly in the study. She ground the ink for a long time, but she looked at him sideways, but he still didn't write. She couldn't help but say, "My ink is almost dry. Why haven't you written for so long?"
"It's not that easy." Luo Shenyuan put down his pen. "Approving mining and quarrying shouldn't be a decision made lightly. Otherwise, the consequences will be endless."
Daimao brought in the nourishing soup. Yining put a hand towel on the bottom of the soup, lifted the lid and handed it to him.
"You drink this, I'll take a look." She felt a sense of accomplishment in nurturing the future Prime Minister, and took the memorial he had just read and read it herself. These things were boring, like the location and depth of a few mineral deposits, which was indeed not as interesting as the Dali Temple's case.
Luo Shenyuan drank his soup, leaned back in his chair, and smiled at her: "Have you figured out what's going on?"
She frowned and said, "Why do these look the same to me..."
A large hand took the letter from her side. He leaned down behind her and moved closer to her. "What do you understand? Keep grinding the ink. I'll write."
Okay, I'll grind some ink for him.
Luo Shenyuan dipped his pen in ink and thought for a moment. He supported himself on the edge of the table with one hand before he began to write.
Luo Yining looked at his profile and thought he was incredibly handsome. She suddenly understood why so many people liked him. It had nothing to do with his looks; it was a kind of passion.
After he finished writing, Yi Ning took it and read it. It was written in a clear and organized manner, and the comments were neatly written.
"Okay, go back and rest." Luo Shenyuan asked the servant to come in and pack up.
Only after he took her back to the main house did Yi Ning tell him that she would be returning to the Duke of Ying's Mansion the next day.
"Take your guards with you when you go out." Luo Shenyuan simply instructed her. "Go early and come back early."
Yi Ning looked up at him and smiled. It's just a visit.
*
The Duke of Ying's mansion has been bustling lately. The weather is gradually turning colder, and the locust tree at the gate has shed all its leaves. Old Lady Wei's room has been heating up early. In her room, Yi Ning discusses matters with Zhao Mingzhu and Old Lady Wei.
