Chapter 294: A Reasonable Man
Chapter 294: A Reasonable Man
"What else can I do, the ancestor came over in the morning, watched me walk in the yard for most of the hour, my mother came over twice, let people send a bunch of food, and talked with the Sun family for a while, took a nap in the afternoon, read a book for a while, and you came back."
"So what else do you want to eat, play, or read? I'll find it for you, I already asked Yuanshan to go to a few big bookstores before, as long as there are new books, I will send a set to you first. ”
"Hmm,"
Li Xiaonuan agreed, pulled Cheng Ke, and said in a low voice:
"I want to eat some fresh melons and fruits, but I don't dare to say it, I'm afraid that my ancestors and mother will know, and I'm going to be busy again, you go out and look for it quietly, if you have it, buy some back, if not, forget it, don't toss it!"
"Whatever you want to eat, you should tell me when you think of it! Don't worry, I'll let people find it. ”
Cheng Ke straightened up, and was about to raise his voice to call someone, but Li Xiaonuan hurriedly pulled him,
"I just don't want to alarm people, so I told you so quietly, and you also told me like this, I might as well tell my mother, you go out tomorrow and let people look for it quietly, if you have it, forget it."
Cheng Ke wrinkled his brows, looked down at Li Xiaonuan, who was full of persistence, and had no choice but to nod and agree,
"Okay, it's all up to you, don't worry, I'll definitely find it for you, which one do you want to eat?"
"It's all right, as long as it's fresh melons and fruits."
Cheng Ke agreed, and after a while, Cicada Wing took all the girls and mothers-in-law to set up a meal, Li Xiaonuan had no appetite, just watched Cheng Ke eat, the two of them looked at the book, talked for a while, and then stopped.
The next day, Cheng Ke went out, turned his head to look at Yuanshan and the others and ordered:
"You four, go, find fresh melons and fruits for you, if you can't find it, don't come back to see me!"
Yuanshan and Luo Chuan and the others looked at each other, Nanhai was about to speak, Luo Chuan pulled him, Yuan Shan glanced at Luo Chuan, and bowed down to report:
"Master, you don't need all four of us to go, just me and Luo Chuan, and there is no one around you."
"Don't worry, as long as you have it, you will find it."
Cheng Ke wrung his brows and thought for a moment, 'um' agreed, Nanhai and Kunhe still followed Cheng Ke to the household department, Yuanshan and Luochuan took the small servants, and ran to a few vegetable markets in the city first.
In the evening, Yuanshan and Luochuan searched for a few baskets of cherries and came back, and sent them directly to Qinglian Courtyard, the next day, Cheng Guifei sent people to send a few baskets of mangosteen, mangoes and other things from the southern tribute, but they were all stopped by the ancestors, Li Xiaonuan smelled the sweet smell of mangoes and drooled, so he had to look forward to the arrival of summer.
Cheng Minhai followed Zhou Shixin to study, I can't see how well the book reads, but the silver is spent like flowing water, Cheng Mufeng and Gu **** are not stingy with this silver, anyway, what the family has is silver, and it is cost-effective to climb the Chengwang Mansion and the most promising emperor and grandson.
Zou Yingnian's wife Tang had sullen at home for more than half a month, and she couldn't bear it in the end, so she prepared a gift, and went to Cheng Mansion on Qianmen Street to talk to Gu ****'s grandmother.
Gu **** milk is now a frequent visitor to the Cheng Wangfu, every ten days and half a month, I went to Xu to ask for a talk, every other day, I looked for some new food, playthings, utensils to pay homage to Xu, Xu treated her very affectionately and politely, Tang went a few times, sent thousands of taels of silver gifts, and finally begged Gu **** to agree to take her, and went to Cheng Wangfu to ask for peace.
Tang came back and discussed with Zou Yingnian carefully, carefully prepared a generous gift, and the next afternoon, he went to King Cheng's Mansion with Gu ****, met Xu, and begged Xu to make up for Zou Yingnian's real shortage, and Xu simply agreed.
Unexpectedly, but after three or five days, the documents of the Ministry of Officials were down, Zou Yingnian made up for the Zhizhou of Lizhou Luba Prefecture, although it was reduced from the fifth grade to the fifth grade, but this Zhizhou is a real fat shortage, Zou Yingnian was so happy that he didn't know what to do, and hurriedly prepared a generous gift, so that Tang took his name card and sent it to Xu's hands, Tang knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few heads sincerely, and the family was grateful.
Cheng Ke got the letter that day, and angrily pinched and copied the note of Zou Yingnian's name and official position, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the paper burning basin.
This Zou Yingnian was wanted to be suppressed by Xiao Nuan, and Lu Wenlong actually relied on Xu's words to make up for such a real deficiency for him! Xiao Nuan is now pregnant, but she can't be angry, but this matter, the Di copy must be written, and she can't hide it, alas, I knew that since she was pregnant, this Di copy should not be let her read it again.
Cheng Ke returned to Qinglian Courtyard in annoyance, and hesitated for a long time to Li Xiaonuan, whose complexion was getting better day by day, but he didn't dare to hide it, carefully considered his words, and said Zou Yingnian's new envoy, and promised with a smile:
"I was negligent in this matter, don't worry, leave this matter to me, I can't let him do it for half a year, don't take it to heart."
Li Xiaonuan took a cherry and bit it, looked at Cheng Ke and asked strangely:
"What kind of messenger does he have, and what does it have to do with us?"
Cheng Ke looked at Li Xiaonuan and blinked, stunned for a moment, Li Xiaonuan spit out the cherry pit, looked at Cheng Ke and said with a smile:
"I exposed his bottom at that time, but I just wanted to do the matter of the separation of the eldest sister's property smoothly, he was later impeached and lost his official position because of this, and I have nothing to do with it, I just want to do it, and I don't have such long hands and feet, now he should receive what messenger, what envoy should not be received, the court has its own law, how can I manage this?"
Li Xiaonuan stretched out his hand and picked up another cherry, and while biting, he said vaguely:
"Besides, Jin Zhiyang favors the Zou family, if you want to blame it, you can only blame Jin Zhiyang for not being a thing, he likes the new and hates the beauty of the old lover, and then blames others for harming him with his beauty, complaining that people tempt him with beauty, this is what you men want, I don't think so!"
Cheng Ke raised his hand and stroked his forehead, and only laughed after a while,
"It's me who wants to be left, I'm afraid that you will be angry when you hear this letter, since that's the case, then let him go, what you said is very reasonable, this reason, it's the same as fighting, you fell into a plan and stepped on it, you can only blame yourself for being too stupid, but you can't complain that people don't abide by the way of the army and deceive you with tricks."
Li Xiaonuan squinted at Cheng Ke and said slowly:
"I mean, if you do anything in the future, don't tell me anything about being confused, having to do something, or falling for something, it's your fault if you do it."
Cheng Ke choked into his throat in one breath, coughed continuously, and hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Xiao Nuan, don't worry, cough, I'm so smart, how can I let people cheat me, cough, those fruits sent by my aunt, my ancestors still won't let you eat them?"
"Hmm,"
Li Xiaonuan let out a long sigh,
"It is said that it is better to kill by mistake, never miss it, and not let anyone eat."
Cheng Ke looked at Li Xiaonuan sympathetically, leaned closer, and suggested in a low voice:
"Why don't I steal a few and give them to you?"
"Forget it, the ancestor will be angry when he knows it, so I'll eat this. Well, by the way, I have something to look for you, and I want to borrow it for another thousand months. ”
Li Xiaonuan bit the cherry, looked at Cheng Ke and said, Cheng Ke hurriedly responded:
"Use him, but call him in...... Ahem, tell me, I'll tell him. ”
Li Xiaonuan had a smile in her eyes, looked at Cheng Ke with raised eyebrows, and fell into Cheng Ke's arms with a smile, Cheng Ke hugged her, and laughed along,
"Tell me first, what's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal, the second sister came to see me the day before yesterday, saying that the Jin family sent a letter to the eldest sister and wanted to move the family to the capital, the eldest sister probably didn't want to let the ** heart, came a few times, and never mentioned it, I was worried about what troubles were going to happen, and the eldest sister refused to tell me, so I wanted Qianyue to find two people to help me keep an eye on the big sister, the Jin family and Jin Zhiyang, what is the matter, I don't need the big sister to say, I can also know."
Cheng Ke frowned, looked down at Li Xiaonuan, thought about it, and agreed,
"Well, I'll explain to Qianyue tomorrow, what can I do? Don't worry too much, I've got me. ”
Li Xiaonuan smiled and didn't speak.
Early the next morning, as soon as Cheng Ke arrived at the household department, Zhou Jingran came in, sat on a chair and drank tea, while looking at Cheng Ke and asked:
"Zou Yingnian made up for the real shortage, you know?"
"Hmm,"
"Xiao Nuan knows?"
"Hmm,"
Cheng Ke drank tea leisurely and agreed casually, Zhou Jingran put down the cup in his hand and looked at Cheng Ke suspiciously, Cheng Ke met his gaze and explained with a smile:
"Private is not as good as the public, Xiao Nuan exposed his old bottom at the beginning, firstly, because he did not cultivate his own private morality, and secondly, he just wanted to build momentum for the eldest sister of the Gu family to separate the property, how dare he abolish the public with his own private life."
Zhou Jingran looked at Cheng Ke, and only after a while did he smile and ask:
"I was taught a lesson by Xiao Nuan last night? You're not so reasonable!"
Cheng Ke spread his hands,
"I'm also very reasonable, and you don't know, how have I ever dealt with others?!"
Zhou Jingran 'snorted', stood up with a relaxed face, Cheng Ke hurriedly stood up, sent him out, and when he arrived at the door, Zhou Jingran paused and turned his head to look at Cheng Ke,
"You go back and tell Xiao Nuan, if she doesn't want to be reasonable, don't be wronged by herself, I'm just a sister like her, and no one can wronged her."
Cheng Ke hurriedly smiled and agreed, watched Zhou Jingran get on the horse, turned a corner and couldn't see it, and then slowly went back to the ministry to deal with official business.
Cheng Mufeng and Gu **** enthusiastically sent Zou Yingnian's family to the ten-mile long pavilion outside the capital, and watched with envy as the group of dozens of cars went far before getting into the car and rushing back to the capital.
The next day, Gu **** and Cheng Mufeng discussed carefully, prepared a very heavy gift, and went to the Chengwang Mansion to ask for peace for the Xu family, Zou Yingnian made up for such a fat shortage, in the Xu family, it was just a matter of one sentence, even if this is the case, it should also ask the eldest son Cheng Minshan for an official and a half position.
Xu's received the gift, and after more than half a month, Cheng Minshan made up for the guard's pro-army infantry division and made a famous eight-grade guard with a knife, Gu ****'s family was overjoyed, and the Xu family was even more indescribable
