Chapter 108 King Jing's Mansion

Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she fell on her back, and repeatedly asked someone to wipe the floor with water, and ordered Zhou Jianning not to enter the door for half a step.

In the water pavilion in the back garden of King Jing's mansion, the earth fire dragon burned the warmth of the water pavilion, Zhou Jingran and Cheng Ke sat on the rocking chairs in the pavilion, ordered the people to open the windows, stretched out a pole, and gossiped while fishing for fish.

Cheng Ke exuded a gloomy aura all over his body, impatiently threw the pole aside, and fell back on the rocking chair, Zhou Jingran turned his head to look at him, and said helplessly:

"Look at you, you said that you thought of sitting in this water pavilion to breathe, here you are, you are still so sullen, forget it, there is also some stuffiness in this house, why don't we go out of the city to hunt? Why don't you go to Defu Building, call a few more people, and let's drink for fun? It's okay for you to be so bored all the time."

"Don't go"

Cheng Ke simply closed his eyes, Zhou Jingran sighed, threw the pole in his hand, waved his hand to rebuke the girl waiting in the water pavilion, turned his head to look at Cheng Ke and said:

"That girl must have recovered, it's just a little cold, and the pulse case has also been seen by Imperial Doctor Gu, what else are you worried about? If people eat whole grains, how can they not get sick? Don't worry so much."

Cheng Ke closed his eyes and was silent without saying a word, Zhou Jingran sighed helplessly,

"You really don't worry, just take advantage of the dark moon and the high wind, go and see her again, see if she is okay"

"I want to hear her talk."

Cheng Ke said sullenly, Zhou Jingran choked in one breath, and pointed at Cheng Ke with his hand,

"You still want the spring breeze for a while, that girl is only twelve years old, twelve years old"

"It's strange to say."

Cheng Ke straightened up, looked at Zhou Jingran, and said with a confused face:

"Except for being smaller and thinner, why don't I think she's only twelve? Don't you think she's still a yellow-haired girl? ”

Zhou Jingran was stunned, sighed for a long time, spread his hands and said:

"It doesn't matter if you think it, or if you don't think it, that girl is only twelve years old, and if you think about it, you have to think about it slowly, and you have to wait until she grows to sixteen or seventeen years old before you can ...... Sensible is not"

"I want to meet her, you can help me think of ideas."

Cheng Ke fell into the rocking chair, swaying, and said sullenly, Zhou Jingran fell backwards,

"You want to see her, you want to listen to her, and you want her to smile like a flower, you can't do it, what can I do?"

Cheng Ke turned his head to look at Zhou Jingran and said slowly:

"You haven't bothered the Gu family a lot, and now that people have come to the capital, you have to pick up the wind and wash the dust for others, right?"

Zhou Jingran looked at Cheng Ke with wide eyes, and only spoke after a while,

"It's you who don't let me pick up the wind and wash the dust, and now it's you who complain that I didn't pick up the wind and wash the dust, you can think about it, this wind catches the dust and washes it, and the ancient family ...... But you can't tear me apart."

"What can't I think of, Mrs. Zhou is my mother's sister-in-law, where can the Gu family and Runan Wangfu be torn apart? As for me and you......"

Cheng Ke turned his head to look at Zhou Jingran,

"How can you tear it away? The Gu family has long been inseparable from you, since this is the case, wash it. ”

Zhou Jingran laughed, laughed for a while and sighed, looked at Cheng Ke, a trace of dazedness flashed in his eyes, and said in a low voice:

"Why do I feel happier and happier every year?"

Cheng Ke stared at him for a long time, sighed, and became sad,

"Adults are uncomfortable"

Zhou Jingran nodded his head and sighed, and the two of them sighed sadly.

After a while, Zhou Jingran waved his hand, as if to drive away the heaviness and unpleasantness, and watched Cheng Ke change the topic,

"Xiao Ke, why don't we want to find out what Old Madam Li means? Xiao Nuan grew up with her, she will definitely be able to listen to her, not to mention, that old lady is a powerful master, if she is willing, this matter will at least have a seven or eight points of accuracy."

Cheng Ke's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again,

"What you said is very good, if the old lady is willing, this matter will definitely be able to become Xiao Nuan, even if there are some grievances, as long as you enter the door, I will coax her with more heart."

Zhou Jingran got excited, sat up straight, thought about it carefully, and said with a smile:

"We'll take this wind the day after tomorrow, this thing...... You have to let the princess come forward, well, it's just a matter of exploring Mrs. Li, and you have to ask the princess to say it, do you want to invite a few more families to come over to accompany you? ”

"What do you want those many people to do? Xiao Nuan is just right, how can there be the spirit to entertain those people? ”

Zhou Jingran looked at Cheng Ke with wide eyes, suddenly fell back, pointed at Cheng Ke and laughed, Cheng Ke's face flushed, he "hummed" lightly, shook off the folding fan, and shook it quickly.

Cheng Ke resigned from Zhou Jingran, walked out of the second gate briskly, got on the horse at the gate, and went back to Runan Palace.

Zhou Jingran watched Cheng Ke turn the shadow wall of the second gate, and then slowly shook towards the main courtyard where the princess lived.

Princess Jing and Mrs. Meng respectfully bent her knees to take him in, and brought tea up, Zhou Jingran took the cup, took a sip slowly, and motioned for Mrs. Meng to sit down.

Mrs. Meng sat on the edge of the couch dignifiedly, looking at Zhou Jingran with a smile, Zhou Jingran said with a smile:

"The Gu family moved back to the capital some time ago, in previous years, Xiao Ke and I didn't bother Mrs. Li, otherwise, the day after tomorrow, you asked someone to pick up Mrs. Li's family over, first, to pick up the old lady, and second, to thank you."

Mrs. Meng's smile grew, nodded meekly and agreed, thought about it, and asked with a smile:

"The concubine sent a post over?"

"That's not necessary, the Gu family is not an outsider, you can send a polite grandmother over and ask for it."

Zhou Jingran said gently, Mrs. Meng nodded and agreed, Zhou Jingran took a cup, slowly took a sip of tea, and said thoughtfully:

"There is a cousin in the Gu family, who is the niece and granddaughter of Mrs. Li, and her life is ...... Gentle and lovely, only twelve years old this year, you find a suitable time to find out what Mrs. Li means, if there is any prince who wants to decide this Miss Cousin as a side concubine, see what the old lady means. ”

Mrs. Meng looked at Zhou Jingran blankly, a trace of bitterness flashed in her eyes, and she said with a reluctant smile:

"Even the master said well, this girl from the Li family must be very good, concubine...... I really want to take a look at it as soon as possible, don't worry, the concubine will definitely do this for the master. ”

Zhou Jingran was stunned, looked at Mrs. Meng, knew that she had misunderstood, opened her mouth, and suddenly felt an inexplicable expectation in her heart, swallowed the explanation to her mouth, lowered her eyelids, and drank tea.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Meng sent four mothers-in-law to the Gu family to ask Mrs. Li to take the whole family to the house the next day to be a guest and wash the dust for the Gu family.

Mrs. Li warmly entertained the four mothers-in-law, ordered people to double the reward, and talked to their parents for a long time before instructing Zhuqing to send the four to the second gate to get into the car.

Mrs. Zhou watched the four mothers-in-law out of the yard, then turned her head and looked at Mrs. Li worriedly, Mrs. Li waved her hand to rebuke the maiden who was waiting in the house, Mrs. Zhou said in a low voice:

"Mother, the former son, the eldest brother came to talk to me for a long time, the eldest brother said that we have been in Shangli Town for a few years, King Jing and King Cheng are getting worse and worse, some time ago, we have not also heard, King Jing and Xiao Ke broke the leg of the second young master of the Weiyuan Hou family, the eldest brother said, Xiao Ke was ruthless, the leg of the second young master of the Lin family was abolished, the eldest brother said that King Cheng was furious, and he had already written to impeach the king of Runan, and the eldest brother said that King Cheng was going to enter Beijing to celebrate the New Year at the end of the month, and he was afraid that he would find an opportunity to settle this account with King Jing, this banquet, let's ......"

Mrs. Zhou looked at Mrs. Li with a face full of embarrassment, Mrs. Li's face became solemn, her eyes were sharp, and she asked in a low voice:

"Since Zhenning Hou asked you to say this, does he have a plan?"

"Well, the eldest brother said, King Cheng is the eldest son, and he has made outstanding achievements over the years, and the future is a sure thing, he has sold the two big Zhuangzi in the south, and prepared a generous gift, and wants to send it over when King Cheng returns, and the eldest brother is here to ask us, do you want to ...... it."

Mrs. Zhou looked at Mrs. Li slightly timidly, but did not dare to say any more, Mrs. Li closed her eyes, looked at Mrs. Zhou expressionlessly, and said slowly:

"The Zhenning Marquis Mansion must be blessed by the Buddha to ......"

Old Madam Li swallowed back the words behind her, waved her hand weakly and said:

"Let's not send it, whoever sends it will send it I'm tired, you go back and rest."

Mrs. Zhou inexplicably stood up and retreated, and when she went out, she didn't think much about it anymore, her mother-in-law often made her inexplicable, and she didn't care about it for a long time.

Old Madam Li watched Mrs. Zhou go out of the courtyard with a gloomy face, called Zhuqing in, and told her to invite Miss Biao to come over and talk.

At the end of the next day, Mrs. Li took Mrs. Zhou and others into the gate of King Jing's Mansion, got out of the car in the second gate, followed a few housekeepers, and entered the main courtyard where Mrs. Meng lived.

Mrs. Meng sat on the couch in the east wing, and when she saw Mrs. Li coming in, she smiled, and her body owed slightly, Mrs. Li took a few steps forward with a smile on her face, and was about to kneel down and kowtow to salute, Mrs. Meng hurriedly smiled and stopped:

"Hurry up and help the old lady up, the old lady is an old and virtuous person, so there is no need to be polite."

Mrs. Li got up, smiled and bowed, and Mrs. Meng let her sit on the armchair next to her.

Mrs. Zhou led Gu Yunhuan and Li Xiaonuan to kneel on the ground, kowtowed and asked for peace, Mrs. Meng instructed the girl to help everyone up, let Mrs. Zhou sit down, turned her head to look at Gu Yunhuan and Li Xiaonuan, smiled and beckoned,

"Come and let me take a closer look, when I was at home in previous years, I heard that the second lady of the ancient family was born like a flower and jade, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation."

Gu Yunhuan bent her knees with a smile, took two steps forward, and stood respectfully in front of the couch, Mrs. Meng took her hand, looked at it carefully for a while, took a pair of white jade bracelets from the next few sides, stuffed them into Gu Yunhuan's hands, and said with a smile:

"It's really not only good, but also better, worthy of this white jade, take it, don't dislike it."

Gu Yunhuan bowed her knees and thanked her, and the little girl led her to sit under Old Madam Li.
