Chapter 198: North Third Road
Chapter 198 North Third Road
Cheng Ke pressed Li Xiaonuan and laughed for a while across the quilt before getting up and washing.
Li Xiaonuan slept until after noon, Cheng Ke came back from hunting, saw that Li Xiaonuan was still asleep, laughed and threw himself on the bed, Li Xiaonuan was pressed by him and couldn't move, and hurriedly shouted:
"Hurry up, the bones are broken"
Cheng Ke flipped to Li Xiaonuan's side, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her, stretched his waist, and said easily:
"Xiaojing went back"
Li Xiaonuan immediately turned his head, and his eyebrows fluttered.
"Then let's hurry up, didn't you say that in the past few days, Zhuangzi has been fishing, pickling salted fish, and drying fish, have you fished well? Let's go see."
"It's not that we get up, it's that you have to fish for a few days, don't worry, it's too late to see tomorrow, or? Don't get up, sleep a little longer, I'll sleep with you......"
Cheng Ke slowly reached into Li Xiaonuan's clothes with his two hands, lowered his head and kissed him, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly pushed him away, angry and laughing,
"How do you ...... It's not enough for me to go hungry."
Cheng Ke let go of his hand, lay on his back on the bed, and sighed long:
"I'm hungry too......"
Li Xiaonuan ignored him anymore, hurriedly crawled over him, and went into the clean room to wash and change clothes.
The two had dinner, Cheng Ke took Li Xiaonuan on horseback, stood on the riverside embankment, and watched the excitement of fishing, Li Xiaonuan commanded Luo Chuan and others to pick a few baskets of fatty fish, shrimp, crabs, etc.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Li Xiaonuan salivated and commanded Zhuqing,
“…… Tell the kitchen that at night, the steamed crabs, fried eels, and the shrimp are very fresh, so they make drunken shrimp, fry the fish, stew a thick soup, and then remove some crab roe, steamed crab roe buns, and then pick the smaller ones to get drunk, and ......"
Cheng Ke fell on the couch with a smile,
"You're really a glutton."
"Eating and drinking, men and women, life events"
Li Xiaonuan seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly called Zhu Qing back and ordered:
"Forget about the fish, you can't smell the fish"
Zhu Qing bent his knees and agreed, Li Xiaonuan turned his head, looked at Cheng Ke and asked:
"If you don't eat fish, what about shrimp? What about eels? What about crabs? What else is there not to eat? ”
"Except for the fish, I eat everything on the side, and I eat everything you eat."
Cheng Ke agreed casually, smiling and not knowing what he was thinking, Li Xiaonuan turned his head and instructed Zhu Qing,
"Let's use the pheasant stew that my grandfather made in the morning. Beside it, let the kitchen look at the matching. ”
Zhu Qing agreed with a smile, bent his knees and withdrew, and went to the kitchen to pass the word.
Cheng Ke stretched out his hand and pulled Li Xiaonuan, looked at her with a smile in his eyes, and sighed and said:
"What you said is really good, eating men and women, life events"
Cheng Ke bit the word 'man and woman' heavily, Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at him, and said seriously:
"There are so many sages in the book who teach or something, I think this sentence is right, and the rest is all nonsense."
Cheng Ke glared at Li Xiaonuan, leaned back and laughed.
Cheng Ke took Li Xiaonuan to wander around, to see the mill, to see the waterwheel, to see the ducks full of rivers return in the evening, run to the top of the mountain in the middle of the night to see the starry sky, ride a horse to drive the chickens and dogs all over the Zhuangzi to run around......
Li Xiaonuan cherished the days, happy days always fly by, and ten days are fleeting.
On the last day, Cheng Ke was more grinding than Li Xiaonuan, until he had lunch, he came out of the Zhuangzi, traveled all the way, and returned to the Runan palace in the evening.
Early the next morning, Li Xiaonuan sent Cheng Ke out of the door, took a sedan chair and went to the main courtyard to ask for peace.
At the beginning of the afternoon, Jing'an entered the main hall of the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, and turned into the back study to see Cheng Ke.
"Lord Shizi, our Lord said, we will have dinner in our house at noon today, our Lord said, please come over early, and talk for a while."
Cheng Ke raised his head from the pile of account books, nodded with a calm face, and simply stood up, and instructed Yuanshan to personally look at the table full of documents, followed Jing'an out of the door, got on the horse, and took Nanhai and other small servants, and went straight to King Jing's mansion.
Zhou Jingran was already waiting for Cheng Ke in the inner study, and when he saw him come in, he instructed Qingping to bring someone to send lunch to the inner study, retreated from everyone, shook the folding fan, and hurriedly turned back and forth in the house, suddenly stopped, lit Cheng Ke with a fan, and said angrily:
"Didn't you see that I was desperately squeezing my eyes with you, and my eyeballs were about to pop out? What is this good thing to go to the Northland Chafuku? What are you doing on this errand? Dizzy? ”
Cheng Ke lay lazily on the rocking chair, sighed for a long time, and said helplessly:
"Alas, I was happy when I was patronizing before, but I didn't think about it so much, I didn't think about why the emperor suddenly gave such a big favor, saying that I had worked hard, and he actually let me go for ten days and let me accompany Xiao Nuan, what is my hardship? As soon as the emperor said this morning, I realized that this hard work is behind me, and he wants to send me out to Beisan Road for this trip, and I will definitely not be able to come back in a month or two! Isn't it hard? Alas, you see, the emperor has been planning this for a long time, can I not agree? Do you dare to grab it? Besides, it's useless if I don't agree, right? The emperor calculates you and me, when will it be wrong? ”
Zhou Jingran hung his head, let out a long sigh, sat down on the rocking chair, knocked on the armrest of the chair with a fan, was silent for a long time, turned his head to look at Cheng Ke and said:
"Beidi Third Road, the treasury must be unclear, unclear, this matter, everyone in the court knows it, even the emperor, I am afraid that I also understand it in my heart, the eldest brother has been operating on the North Third Road for more than ten years, since Gu Zhiheng was trampled to death by him, who else dares to go against him in the entire North Third Road? We have already calculated for him, he raised soldiers and soldiers, and his life was extremely luxurious, and his pen was so big, which cost a huge amount, he himself was not a good businessman, and his house, from top to bottom, would only spend money and didn't know how to operate, where did this money come from? It's not all on the military expenses and treasury of the North Third Road! Can we think of this, how could the emperor not think of it? Now, I'm going to look this up, this!"
Cheng Ke leaned back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, slowly rocked the rocking chair, opened his eyes for a while, looked at Zhou Jingran, and said solemnly:
"I'm going to fight him sooner or later, now it's okay to go out to find out the truth first, it's not like we've not discussed this matter, I'll act according to our previous plan, don't worry."
Zhou Jingran had a calm face, looked at the roof with deep eyes, was silent for a long time, and his voice was low and cold:
"The scribe's pen, the debater's tongue, the samurai's blade, I'm better than him in everything, so I'll try this samurai's blade."
Cheng Ke straightened up, his eyes were full of eagerness, the laziness on his body disappeared in an instant, and the whole person exuded a chill like a sharp sword out of the sheath, leaned over and asked:
"Where?"
"Don't touch the Chengwang Mansion, and cut off the implication between the North Third Road and the Chengwang Mansion"
Cheng Ke rubbed his hands, stood up, and promised heavily,
"Okay, this time, it's time to kill"
Zhou Jingran let out a long sigh, frowned, took a few sips of tea, turned his head to look at Cheng Ke and said:
"Coming out of the palace, I carefully sorted out the situation of the North Third Road, and turned out Mr. Suiyun's notes a few times, the situation of the North Third Road, you can't be careless, and this matter, we can't go as a family, drag it to the military department, Tang Ergongzi is in charge of the car driving division, and the military horses of the North Third Road, he has to check it himself!"
Zhou Jingran put down the cup and became awe-inspiring,
"And Qian Jisheng! He's a Tobe squire! Naturally, you have to go with you!"
Cheng Ke raised an eyebrow and nodded again and again,
"That's a good idea! Who doesn't know that King Xin and Princess Qin Se are in harmony, and Tang Er Gongzi is the brother of the princess's relatives, which is just enough to be unsuccessful! It's just, Qian Jisheng? ”
"He is the third brother's father-in-law, this layer of relatives, no one can tear it apart! One family against three, the eldest brother always has to weigh everything! What's the matter, push those two to the front first"
Zhou Jingran's voice was full of coldness, his eyelids drooped, and he continued:
"Didn't Shiyuan take a fancy to that Hu Maiko? Fulfill Him! As soon as you set off on your side, you will fulfill him! The Lin family, too, move!"
Cheng Ke nodded, looked at Zhou Jingran, and reminded in a low voice:
"If that's the case, we'll tear our faces with King Cheng."
"Hey!"
Zhou Jingran smiled a little desolately,
"This face has been torn a long time ago, seven years ago, since we almost died at the hands of those two assassins, this face has been torn apart!"
Cheng Ke looked at Zhou Jingran silently, Zhou Jingran hung his head sadly, and said in a low voice:
"Xiao Nuan is right, royal, no father and son!"
Cheng Ke looked at Zhou Jingran with a strange face, pursed his lips and did not answer, Zhou Jingran turned his head and stared at Cheng Ke for a while, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and said with a nostalgic face:
"Xiao Ke, I really don't want to...... Grow up! You don't know, these days, I always dream about our old days, calling friends, drinking and fighting, singing little girls, watching dancers flirt, sneaking away...... How much joy ......"
Cheng Ke turned his head to look at him, coughed lightly, and said slowly:
"I think it's good now."
Zhou Jingran was stunned for a moment, jumped up suddenly, smashed the fan in his hand at Cheng Ke, and scolded angrily:
"You bastard! If you marry Xiao Nuan, everything is enough? Just let you run errands outside all the time, hum all the time outside!"
Cheng Ke stretched out his hand to take the folding fan, checked it with his fingers, and said with a smile:
"Even if I run an errand outside, it's better than the original, Xiao Nuan is waiting for me in the house!"
"You!"
Zhou Jingran snatched the fan from Cheng Ke's hand, shook it away, shook it quickly, fell heavily on the rocking chair, and closed his eyes with an irritated face
