Chapter 127: The Gift
Chapter 127 Gifts
When I arrived at the gate of Qingjian Courtyard, I saw that the gate of the courtyard was crowded and full of trembling little girls, Lirui saw the princess coming from a distance, hurriedly greeted her, bent her knees and asked for peace, and followed the princess to the courtyard to rush to the courtyard, while reporting in shock.
The princess listened to Lirui's report in horror and dazed, paused, turned her head to look at King Runan, stretched out her hand to pull him, and suddenly cried loudly, Lirui also cried, King Runan stared at Lirui with sharp eyes, and scolded sharply:
"What to cry about"
Lirui immediately stopped crying, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out, and the princess also stopped crying, and the princess patted the princess lightly and comforted in a low voice.
"It's just drunk and crazy, what's the big deal, let's go and see it first."
The princess nodded again and again and followed the prince into the main courtyard.
At the door of the main house, Yuanshan and a few other small servants hung their heads, and stood with their hands hanging without squinting, Lirui hurriedly stepped forward to open the curtain, and the prince and the princess entered the house.
Cheng Ke was leaning on the couch in the east wing, as if he was asleep, and Qianyue and Nanhai stood in front of the couch with their hands down.
King Runan stared at Qianyue with cold eyes, and Qianyue hung her head and stood quietly. The princess hurriedly pounced, stroked Cheng Ke's cheek, and became anxious,
"Xiao Ke, how are you? Where is the discomfort? Have you drunk the decanting soup? Why are you just lying here like this, and you're going to catch a cold......"
Lirui also hurriedly followed, took a few cushions, supported Cheng Ke's head, and carefully cushioned, Cheng Ke seemed to wake up suddenly, sat up with a "whew", grabbed a mat and smashed it at Lirui, glared and shouted:
"Get out of here, who let you in? Disgusting rolling far away."
Lirui retreated in horror, and the princess hurriedly hugged Cheng Ke and comforted him anxiously:
"Okay, let her get out, let her go, don't worry, Xiao Ke, what's wrong with you? What's uncomfortable? Yes? ”
The princess's voice brought out some crying, King Runan looked at Cheng Ke worriedly, waved his hand to rebuke the trembling pear rui, thought about it, turned his head and ordered Nanhai,
"Go, ask Imperial Doctor Hu to come."
Nanhai agreed, hurriedly withdrew and went to ask Imperial Doctor Hu, the princess settled down a little, put her arms around Cheng Ke on the pillow, and comforted him softly,
"These girls are not good, mother will change them for you, let's change the girls come in and call, don't worry, ah?"
"Don't don't want those rotten woods, those women don't want one"
Cheng Ke raised his head violently, waved his hands indiscriminately, and shouted at the top of his throat, Princess Runan hurriedly pounced, and cried out all of a sudden,
"My son, what's wrong with you? The girls are not good, let's change them again, it is wood, and there are good wood, don't let them wait, then who will wait for you? ”
Cheng Ke shook his head violently,
"Don't want a woman, let Qianyue wait for me, Nanhai is okay, Luo Chuan, just a man, don't want a woman, don't want that pile of rotten wood"
King Runan squinted and stared at Cheng Ke for a moment, then slowly moved his gaze from Qianyue to Luo Chuan, who was standing in the door, and then to Yuanshan.
Not long after, Nanhai led a small sedan chair into Qingjian Courtyard, and Imperial Doctor Hu got off the sedan chair at the gate of the hospital, was dragged by Nanhai, and ran all the way into the main house.
The princess stood behind the princess, looking at Imperial Doctor Hu who was concentrating on the pulse.
Doctor Hu examined the pulse for almost a quarter of an hour before putting Cheng Ke's hand back, turning his head to look at King Runan, and respectfully reported:
"Back to the prince, the prince is fine, but he has been impetuous recently, and he has some anger in his heart.
The prince breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, and ordered the little servant to take Imperial Doctor Hu outside to prescribe a prescription. After a while, the little guy took the medicine and came over, the prince and the princess watched the people decoct the medicine, and watched Qianyue and Nanhai feed Cheng Ke and drink most of the bowl, and saw that Cheng Ke calmed down, so he stood up, lit Qianyue and the others, and commanded in a deep voice:
"Wait for the son of the world, if there is anything wrong, hum"
The little maid inside and outside the house hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and the king of Runan helped the princess to walk back, comforting her in a low voice as he walked,
"Okay, don't cry, what's not to let women wait, it's just that he's drunk and drunk, tomorrow when he wakes up, it's naturally fine, let's go back first, and then settle accounts with this rebel tomorrow"
King Runan gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
Princess Runan walked forward, but she was not at ease, paused her steps, and said worriedly:
"Master, a few little guys, how can they wait for people, Xiao Ke is a picky character, if this is ......."
"Okay, okay, he's outside, aren't they all waiting for these little guys? Don't worry about it, go back first, and talk about it tomorrow. ”
Princess Runan thought about it, sighed sadly, nodded and agreed, was pushed by the prince, turned around step by step and left the Qingjian Courtyard, and arranged for Lirui to take the girls to Yihong Pavilion to rest first, and then went back to rest in a bright sedan chair with the prince.
A few days after the provincial examination in April, the list was released, and Jin Zhiyang was on the list, and then in the palace examination, he won the twenty-seventh place in the second class and was given the Jinshi background.
The Jin family and the Gu family were full of joy, Gu Yunshan hurriedly sent someone to Taizhou Mansion to report the good news, and the Jin family and the Gu family sent a reward.
Gu Yunshan came over and discussed with Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou, in the Golden Mansion and the Gu family in the North and South Lecture Hall Lane, even invited a few days of drama and wine, and the Gu family was quiet for half a month, and it became lively again, and Li Xiaonuan was only busy with his hands and feet.
Runan Wangfu and Jingwangfu both sent people to the ancient family to send congratulatory gifts, and Cheng Ke invited Jin Zhiyang alone to celebrate in Defu Building, and in the middle, King Jing also happened to come over and talked to Jin Zhiyang for a long time.
When he came back in the evening, Jin Zhiyang quietly discussed with Gu Yunshan, whether to put it outside first, or start with the Beijing official first, the two discussed and discussed, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they rushed to Gu's house early the next morning, and asked Mrs. Li for advice, Jin Zhiyang wrote a letter again, and asked his grandfather urgently for 800 miles, and then made up his mind.
It didn't take long for Jin Zhiyang to order the county order of Changqing County, Tangzhou Prefecture, Jingnan Road, and just waited for Gu Yunhuan's marriage to leave.
Since the early spring, there was a severe drought on Jingnan Road, and within a few days after the provincial test, Zhou Jingran and Cheng Ke received the relief and post-disaster persuasion of farmers, and were busy calculating the relief money with the household department, looking for old farmers to inquire about agricultural affairs, asking for manpower from the ministry, and discussing well drilling and water conservancy matters with the Ministry of Industry.
The two discussed, got on the fold, and prepared to wait for the birthday of the old lady of the Runan Mansion in May, and then rush to the west of Beijing Road, and take command of the relief and post-disaster persuasion of farmers.
At the end of April, in the evening, Cheng Ke and Zhou Jingran came out of the tired household and rode to the entrance of Xidazhi Street.
"I have to go to Yuexiu Zhai on Xidazhi Street, and pick a fresh gift for my grandmother's birthday next month."
Zhou Jingran patted his forehead lightly, and said with some annoyance:
"Don't you say it, I really forgot about the old lady's birthday ceremony, I haven't prepared yet, let's go and have a look."
"Where do you want to prepare, there is a princess in your house, such a human exchange, the princess will naturally take care of it properly, where do you want to worry about it again and choose what gift in person? You'd better go back and rest, you're very tired all day today. ”
Cheng Ke hurriedly persuaded Zhou Jingran, Zhou Jingran turned his head, looked at Cheng Ke with raised eyebrows, and became suspicious.
"Usually, when you encounter such a thing as shopping, you wish I would give you a slap in the face, I just don't want to go anymore, you have to drag me there, why is it abnormal today? Abnormal is a demon, what do you want to do? ”
Cheng Ke pursed his mouth tightly, just ignoring him, Zhou Jingran smiled, reached out and patted Cheng Ke's shoulder and said:
"Let's go, brother will go with you."
Cheng Ke frowned, so he had to go to Yuexiu Zhai on West Dazhi Street with Zhou Jingran.
The two got off the horse at the back door of Yuexiu Zhai, and the shopkeeper got the letter, and hurriedly greeted them, with a smile on his face, and bowed down to lead the two into the backyard flower hall.
"What's the good stuff lately?"
Zhou Jingran asked with a smile, the shopkeeper bowed and replied respectfully:
"There are really a few good things, there is a pair of glass bottles that have just been delivered from the west, half a person is more than a person high, Ambilight, just right, and it is a pattern of a hundred sons holding a birthday, and a large jade carving, which is also an excellent thing, it is a rich and prosperous style, and a ......"
"Have someone take it and take a look."
Cheng Ke impatiently interrupted the shopkeeper's words, and the shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and agreed:
"Yes, yes, look, I'm patronizing and talking, the two masters will wait a while, and I'll bring it over."
Not long after, the shopkeeper commanded more than a dozen men, carefully carrying a pair of glass bottles, a large carved piece of jade with a rich flower, and five or six other antique ornaments, which were placed in the flower hall.
Zhou Jingran looked carefully at them one by one, was picky, turned his head to look at the absent-minded Cheng Ke, and asked with a smile:
"I look at these pieces, all of them are good, which one do you like?"
Cheng Ke's eyes swept over a few things, pointed to the pair of glass bottles and said:
"That's it, grandmother likes such transparent things, and it is suitable to put them in the small Buddha hall."
Zhou Jingran nodded again and again,
"I also think this is good, if you have established this piece, I will want that sheep fat jade Guanyin, the old lady must also like it."
"Hmm."
Cheng Ke nodded in agreement, and the shopkeeper quoted the price with a smile, and hurriedly instructed the men to carefully send the two things to the Runan Wangfu and Jingwangfu.
Zhou Jingran stood up and stretched,
"Let's go, it's really boring."
Cheng Ke sat still, looked at Zhou Jingran, and said a little uncomfortably:
"You go back first, and I'll look at something else."
Zhou Jingran narrowed his eyes, stared at Cheng Ke for a long time, laughed, turned his head and instructed the shopkeeper,
"Go, bring all the best jewelry in your shop, and any rare and ancient books, also bring them all."
The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed and ran out, Cheng Ke turned his head to look at Zhou Jingran, "hummed", and did not answer
Wiping sweat, finally adjusted
Dear dear, dear dear
