- "But I'm different, if my words are heard, everyone will shout and beat them, but my words are not rough......"

Chun Tao said seriously.

Zhen Ping'an also raised his expression and said solemnly: "Ping'an knows that Mrs. is good for me, you say, I will listen carefully." ”

"Then I'll tell you the truth—" Chun Tao nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Actually, being a rich man's concubine is not bad at all, look at this house......" She compared her surroundings.

"This is not a house," Zhen Ping'an catered to her, "This is a mansion." ”

The Zhan Mansion where they are located, even in Bianjing City, where the rich gather, is not small.

The standard "three in and three out" house - entering from the gate is the courtyard, there is a second gate inside, entering the second gate is still a courtyard, there is another door inside, and then entering there is another courtyard. Every time you enter the courtyard, there is a small door for you to enter and exit. Triple courtyards, each courtyard has a main room, a wing room, a lower room, and a rain corridor, etc.

This is what "three in and three out" means.

Chun Tao smiled proudly: "The house deed of this big mansion is written in my name." ”

Zhen Ping'an was really surprised this time, her eyes widened unconsciously, she looked at Chun Tao, and couldn't say a word.

"There is the seal of the master, and it has been notarized by Shang Chengxing, even if the master regrets it in the future, this house is mine. ”

Afraid that Zhen Ping'an would not believe it, Chun Tao said again.

"Madame, what a blessing. Zhen Ping'an raised the teapot and filled it with tea for the two of them, sincerely envious.

Chun Tao took the teacup and moistened her throat: "So, what I said just now really doesn't seem to be squeezing and sarcasticizing you." She put down the cup, stroked her hair, and said: "Do you think, my lord is such a generous and bold person, and the person who can be valued by him will definitely not be stingy and mean, plus the Marquis of An Guo's ability to turn stones into gold, if you can climb and please him, what kind of house can't live, let alone ask a doctor to treat your mother's illness." ”

She thought for a moment, and then said, "Maybe, even the imperial doctor can be invited!"

"Imperial Doctor?" Zhen Ping'an was a little inexplicable: "Isn't the imperial doctor a talent in the palace?"

Chun Tao pursed her lips and shook the silk fan gently.

The fire in the room was burning too much, and the warmth was a little too much.

She said to Zhen Ping'an: "What you said is not bad, ordinary people in the imperial doctor can't call it." However, An Guohou and the current Three Highnesses are close friends, and they are inseparable every day, if An Guohou opens his mouth, the Three Highnesses will definitely not refuse. ”

"Third Highness?" Zhen Ping'an tilted his head slightly, pondered for a while, and asked: "When my father was still alive, he also had some small business dealings with Tao Mansion and Xin Mansion, I once heard him say that the first queen Wang had a son who was very smart since he was a child, is this Third Highness?"

Chun Tao shook his head and said, "The son of the former queen Wang you said is the second highness. The mother concubine of the Third Highness is the princess Yelu who married and kissed the Liao State back then. ”

"Oh, it's this ......," Zhen Ping'an said suddenly.

Chun Tao said: "It's him! My lord often said in private, there are so many princes and princesses in the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, but this third highness has the most noble status, what do you think, his father is the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, his mother is the princess of the Liao Kingdom, and his uncle is the official family of the Liao Kingdom. ”

"It's a pity that I can't be the prince. Zhen Ping'an sighed slightly.

Chun Tao disagreed: "It's good that you can't be a prince!"

"Why?" Zhen Ping'an asked knowingly, just to cater to the other party.

"What is there to be a prince? A companion is like a tiger, and it is easy to say that he has successfully become an official, but what my lord said, the official family is in its prime, and the prince of the prince who has been in the prime of life for twenty or thirty years will inevitably tremble and tremble, lest he make a mistake. If it is smooth and smooth to become the new official family, it is worth it, and it is not uncommon for a person who accidentally annoys the official family, like those princes who were demoted to concubines before. ”

"Makes sense. ”

"He himself is unlucky, so forget it, but the city gate is on fire, and the pond fish are affected, and those who are good friends with him will inevitably be implicated in the unlucky, so," Chun Tao smiled, and his eyelashes blinked: "My lord always praises the Marquis of An for his vision, and he doesn't cling to those who are unrealistic, but he is only friendly with the Third Highness - as the Third Highness, no matter which prince is an official in the future, he is also a proper prince, and no one can touch him." ”

Zhen Ping'an nodded heavily and sighed: "It's Master Zhan who has a good eye." ”

"Of course!" Chun Tao heard this, and was even happier than Zhen Ping'an praising himself: "If the master is not extremely smart and wise, how can he have such a career? Don't look at the good style of Zhan Mansion, in fact, the master is just an unfavored concubine in the Shulu Mansion of the Liao State, and his mother is a Song person, and he has been neglected since he was a child. Today's good situation is all due to his own way of breaking out, and now, even his brothers have to rely on him for a few points!"

"It's amazing. Zhen Ping'an listened to this, and he was sincerely admired.

Chun Tao said again: "So, my master is such a powerful person, he also has to look forward to An Guohou, so of course An Guohou is even more amazing." ”

"Therefore, peace cannot be attained higher. ”

Zhen Ping'an subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his face, bowed his head and said: "With my appearance, whether it is a poor wife or a rich concubine, it is just extravagance." ”

She raised her eyes to look at Chun Tao, and there was both grievance in her eyes, but more calmness, a kind of resignation: "Actually, I have also made a plan, just in case...... In case my mother passed away, I became a nun and often accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern. ”

Chun Tao's heart softened, infinite pity for the person in front of her, she gently patted Zhen Ping'an's hand, and said with relief: "Don't be discouraged first, my master also knows a lot of doctors in Langzhong who have rejuvenated their hands, when he comes back from Liaoguo, I beg him to ask for you, maybe there can be a good recipe to get you rid of this birthmark?"

"Madam, you have already helped me a lot, how dare Ping An bother again?"

Chun Tao grinned: "I'm also selfish, if you can find a good place, maybe I need you to help me in the future." ”

"Madame loves to laugh. Zhen Ping'an doesn't seem to be hopeful about this.

She pulled the topic back again: "Speaking of which, Ping An feels a little puzzled. ”

"Oh?" Chun Tao raised her eyebrows and asked her, "What?"

"The Marquis of Anguo was once the richest man in Bianjing, even if his family was in the middle of the road, he was a skinny camel bigger than a horse. Zhen Ping'an truthfully said in doubt: "What kind of treasure hasn't An Guohou seen? If he wants to find a jade pendant, it is okay to send people to find it himself, otherwise, wouldn't it be better to ask His Royal Highness the Third Highness? Why do you want to entrust Master Zhan?"
