Chapter 895: Lies to the Outside World
Xiao Ting naturally came for Xiao Hengshan. After all, she thought it was more convenient to get information from Jiang Hao than to get it from other places.
Why did the Prince of Weiguo leave the capital in a hurry? Even though the court kept it a secret, it was hard not to be suspicious.
Xiao Ting didn't know what others thought, but her intuition told her that Xu Xing's departure from the capital was also related to the affairs of Yuzhou Prefecture.
Her father had been away from Beijing for more than 20 days, but there was no news at all. Her mother and brothers were very worried. She could not sit still, so she ran to find Jiang Hao.
"well."
When Xiao Ting saw Jiang Hao, she was so excited that she immediately stood up from the stool.
Jiang Hao smiled and asked her to sit down, then asked: "If you have something to ask me, just send me a letter. It's so hot, why bother yourself to make this trip?"
Xiao Ting was worried about her father at the moment, and she was still not distracted by Ji Zixuan sitting next to her: "My father has been away from Beijing for a long time, but there is no news at all. My mother is very worried."
When Jiang and Ji Zixuan heard the two talking about Xiao Hengshan being appointed as the imperial envoy to go out of the capital, they understood each other tacitly and immediately got up and found an excuse to leave together.
After Jiang Hao and the others left, he comforted her, "No news is good news. Maybe he was too busy with official duties, or it was inconvenient, so he didn't write a letter home. Madam, you should relax."
This all-purpose answer left Xiao Ting unable to find any flaws and at the same time comforted her.
When Xiao Ting heard what Jiang Hao said, she thought that the other party had revealed the safety information to her, and she was instantly relieved: "That's good, I was really worried."
In this era, communications are not well developed, and leaving Beijing is to investigate a case. Transportation is too slow, and there are many unexpected events. If you don't worry, you are conscienceless!
"Okay, did the prince also go to Yuzhou Prefecture?"
Jiang Hao shook his head upon hearing this: "Return to the barracks."
It was a secret that Emperor Suwen appointed Xu Xing to Yuzhou Prefecture. Although she also went to see him off, the same answer she gave when asked was "returning to the military camp." As for whether anyone checked his whereabouts, Xu Xing must have arranged it long ago.
"Return to the barracks?"
Jiang Hao lied calmly without blushing or beating his heart, "Well, he and I are getting married soon, and there are many things to prepare. He has not handled his duties in the military camp properly, and the Duke is dissatisfied with him, so he asked him to go back to handle official duties."
That's it!
"Is your wedding dress ready?"
Xiao Ting's mind was also jumping. She was obviously talking about Xu Xing, but immediately she jumped to the topic of "wedding dress".
Jiang Hao was a little embarrassed, after all, it was said that the bride had to embroider her own wedding dress. But she didn't know how to do it at all!
"I found the best embroiderer in Beijing."
Seeing her serious answer, Xiao Ting laughed out loud, then gave Jiang Hao a thumbs up: "When I get married, I will do the same. It must be tiring to embroider a wedding dress."
To sum up, she is not good at needlework either.
The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere in the flower hall suddenly became very relaxed and happy.
Jiang Hao remembered his appointment with Cao Dongyang and quickly stood up: "I won't keep you here today. Prince An and I have an appointment to have dinner at Hongyuan Tower. It will be too late if we don't go now."
"Hongyuan Building?"
"How about we come together?"
Facing Jiang Hao's request, Xiao Ting shook her head: "I won't go. It's not good for me to go to my second sister-in-law's family's restaurant too often."
Oh, is that so?
Jiang Hao didn't force it, but still invited Xiao Ting to take a carriage into the city.
Cao Dongyang was getting a little impatient waiting in Hongyuan Building. He wouldn’t agree and then stand me up, right?
