Chapter 244 Entrustment
Zhou Jingran laughed, nodded at Cheng Ke, and said helplessly:
"When did you become so verbose? Don't explain so much, you just say what do you want me to do? Let her come to me? ”
"It's not that much, what big deal can be about her?!I asked Qianyue to see her at night, what's the matter, let her directly send someone to the other courtyard to tell Qianyue to go, it's Qianyue's side, you have to help me take care of it, if what Xiao Nuan ordered is too ridiculous, you have to think of ways to stop it, don't let her break into a big disaster."
Zhou Jingran raised his eyebrows high, raised his hand and pointed at Cheng Ke,
"It's good that you think about it, I don't want to make Xiao Nuan unhappy, let me be this wicked person! Let me hold back my thoughts! Xiao Nuan's temper, how can I stop it? You can't bear it...... Let me be a wicked person?!"
Cheng Ke spread his hands and looked at Zhou Jingran, and said frankly:
"So what do you say? Or don't give it to her? What she has in her hand is silver, and you know that she is a brave person, who knows what she will do?! If Qianyue was allowed to do this with her, she would be able to sell Qianyue, and Qianyue would still be grateful to her! Tell me, who else can I entrust this matter to but you? ”
"You!"
Zhou Jingran glared at Cheng Ke, speechless for a while, and only after a long sigh and nodded, Cheng Ke breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said goodbye, and was about to go out with a smile.
"Wait!"
Zhou Jingran seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly called Cheng Ke,
"I'll take you out of town tomorrow."
Cheng Ke nodded in agreement, arched his hand, went out, took the cloak handed by Luo Chuan, put it on casually, and walked straight out. Zhou Jingran stood under the eaves corridor with his hands behind his back, watched Cheng Ke walk out of the courtyard gate of the inner study, and was stunned for a long time before turning around and entering.
Cheng Ke walked out of the gate of King Jing's Mansion and instructed Yuanshan to go to the other courtyard and take Qianyue to Qinglian Courtyard to see him.
The palace was still brightly lit, and the little servants, long entourage, and family generals who followed the expedition were busy packing their luggage, wiping weapons, washing war horses, or drinking candied wine with relatives and friends.
Li Xiaonuan sent Cheng Ke away, went to the main courtyard, and discussed with the princess to pack up the things that Cheng Ke was going to bring, and actually packed dozens of boxes out, large and small, piled up like a hill in Qinglian Courtyard.
Cheng Ke talked to his father for half an hour, and when he returned to Qinglian Courtyard, Li Xiaonuan was still facing the list with Grandma Sun, Lan Chu, Zhu Ye, and Zhu Qing to see if there was anything missing.
"No, if you miss something, just let someone send it over."
Lan Chu agreed, and retreated with Mama Sun and others, Cheng Ke sat on the couch, took the tea brought by Li Xiaonuan, and said with a smile:
"Let Yuanshan go and call Qianyue, I'll explain to him later, if there's anything, you just have to ask someone to go to the other courtyard and tell him."
Li Xiaonuan nodded in agreement, sat sideways on the edge of the couch, and was about to speak, when outside the curtain, the cicada wings raised their voices and reported:
"Hui Ye, young lady, Yuan Shan is asking to see you outside the courtyard."
"Bring him in."
Cheng Ke commanded in a deep voice, Li Xiaonuan turned his head left and right, and asked hesitantly:
"Here? Or to the Flower Hall in the outer courtyard? ”
"It's here, if there's anything going on in the future, he always has to ask you directly, you can see you when I'm there, and when I'm gone, it's convenient for him to come in and see you."
"Hmm."
Li Xiaonuan agreed in a low voice, while the two were talking, outside the curtain, the little girl reported, and the distant mountains led Qianyue, lowered her eyebrows, and entered the house respectfully.
The two kowtowed, lowered their hands and bowed their heads to stand in front of the couch, Li Xiaonuan looked at Qianyue with curiosity, the legendary number one prostitute in the capital.
Qianyue is very tall, thin and slender, dressed in black, with a black belt of the same color as the clothes tied around her waist, up and down her body, no ornaments, even a hairpin is useless, Li Xiaonuan looked up at Qianyue slightly, her skin is extremely fair and delicate, her chin is pointed, her face is perfect, her lips are so red that she seems to be coated with rouge, her eyebrows are straight eyebrows, but she looks gentle and abnormal, her eyelids are drooping, her eyelashes are thick and long, and she hangs motionlessly, the whole person is perfect as if carved out of jade, but vaguely exudes a cold atmosphere, Slightly ruined the overall perfection.
Li Xiaonuan exclaimed softly, Cheng Ke turned his head to look at her, Li Xiaonuan looked at Qianyue and exclaimed:
"It's the first time I've seen someone so good-looking!"
"Madame is better-looking!"
The corners of Qianyue's mouth twitched, she bowed slightly, and replied stiffly, Li Xiaonuan laughed, and turned her head to look at Cheng Ke,
"Everything is good, it's just this temperament, it's too cold, if only it could be more relaxed."
"Well, he is very good, and he is the best at using flying knives, I told him a long time ago, it is not enough to be good-looking, you must have style, and when you go out with a knife, you must have a lot of style! That's it, he hasn't learned it yet!"
Cheng Ke looked up and down at Qianyue, who was twitching the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, the distant mountain hung lower, and he could barely hold back his laughter, the young lady's ability to mess around is better than that of the prince, this Qianyue, following the young lady in the future, is also pitiful.
"Alas, if you can generate this, you don't need to learn anything, you see, this movement is all style, and the knife must also be a variety of styles, this style is one, you don't need to learn it to become a ......"
Li Xiaonuan looked at Qianyue and sighed,
"Master, young lady, call the little one in, I don't know what to order?"
Qianyue interrupted the discussion between the two, arched her hand and asked, Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke looked at Qianyue and ordered:
"I'm going to go on the expedition tomorrow, and after I'm gone, if the young lady tells you anything, it will be my command."
Qianyue was slightly stunned, and hurriedly bowed down and agreed:
"Yes!"
Cheng Ke turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan looked at Qianyue with a smile and shook his head,
"I'm fine."
"Well, step aside, this year, let everyone work harder, keep an eye on the capital, keep an eye on the North Third Road, don't be negligent!"
Qianyue respectfully agreed, and together with Yuanshan, she lowered her hand and retreated.
Li Xiaonuan kept watching the curtain hang down and couldn't see anyone, so he let out a long sigh again, turned his head to look at Cheng Ke and continued to exclaim:
"How can a man be born more beautiful than a woman? It's too much!"
Cheng Ke laughed, hugged Li Xiaonuan, and said with a smile:
"He was born too well, he was abducted when he was five or six years old, sold to the capital market, happened to be bought by his father, sent him to the south, and followed my uncle to learn art, he is very talented in martial arts and drugs."
"Poison?"
Li Xiaonuan was shocked,
"Hmm,"
Cheng Ke nodded, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and said with a smile:
"The first time Xiao Jing and I met an assassin was in the capital, and we watched the dance at night...... Father summoned him back, he killed people without blinking, when he first came back, he didn't say a word for a day or two, I think he was too cold, and it was not a good thing, so he let him **** spy, and then he managed the espionage, and now he can also gossip with people and me, which is extremely rare. ”
Li Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment before sighing,
"It's also a bitter child, your uncle, with a weird temper?"
"Well, it's notoriously weird and impersonal, and it's just Qianyue's apprentice, who loves him very much, and gives Qianyue all the good things, Uncle Shi likes to use poisonous snakes the most, and spent most of his life raising a white flower snake, the snake is very venomous and small, only more than two inches long, and it bites people, but in a breath, he dies of poison, Qianyue also likes this thing, you see the bag around his waist, moving around, it is this kind of snake in it."
Li Xiaonuan shuddered, and hurriedly squeezed into Cheng Ke's arms,
"I'm most afraid of snakes! His snake, don't get out!"
Cheng Ke laughed and hugged Li Xiaonuan,
"Where can I escape? The snake, he is very precious, where is he willing to let it escape? Don't worry, if you are afraid in the future, just talk to him far away. ”
Li Xiaonuan nodded with palpitations, and sighed heavily, sure enough, this is too good-looking to be easily provoked.
The next day, just after dawn, Cheng Ke had already packed up, followed the small servants, long-term followers, and generals who went out to the expedition in high spirits, carrying bows, guns, knives, swords and other weapons, crowding the streets in front of the palace, just waiting for Cheng Ke to come out, and then set off to the front line of Kuizhou Road.
Cheng Ke stopped in the second gate, turned around, respectfully said goodbye to the king and princess of Runan, turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, hesitated slightly, stretched out his hand and pulled her, regardless of the parents standing next to him and the girl in the courtyard, pulled Li Xiaonuan to the side, and explained in a low voice:
"If there is anything difficult at home, if you don't tell your father, just leave it to Ping'an, let Ping'an pass the word, outside, Xiaojing's side, don't go to him, just tell Qianyue, I've arranged it, and write me a letter in three days, don't forget!"
"Well, I know, you've explained everything, don't worry."
Li Xiaonuan looked at the left and right with some uneasiness,
"Hurry up and set off, don't miss the auspicious time, when you come back, I will go out of the city to pick you up."
Cheng Ke lowered his head, stared at Li Xiaonuan with great reluctance for a moment, stomped his feet, turned around violently, and strode out without looking back.
The family stood in the second gate, looking at Cheng Ke who was blown up by the wind and striding out, and when Cheng Ke's figure turned around the second gate and couldn't be seen, the princess suddenly burst into tears, gagged her mouth with a handkerchief, and didn't dare to cry.
The prince turned his head, looked at the princess who was crying breathlessly, and said helplessly:
"Look at you, what's crying about? Alas, Ke's daughter-in-law helped your mother go back and persuaded her well. ”
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly stepped forward, signaled to the Xu family, and the two supported the princess on the left and right, dragged her onto the sedan chair, signaled the mother-in-law to leave quickly, and went all the way back to the main courtyard.
Cheng Ke's expedition was almost silent, but the court suddenly became extremely busy with his departure.
Zhou Jingran soaked in the household department from morning to night, dispatching countless kinds of materials to be used in the war, and the king of Runan soaked in the military department if he had nothing to do, and it was no big deal, just looking for someone to drink tea and drag people to play chess
