Chapter 298 Thanks

"Hmm."

Cheng Ke agreed with a gloomy face, Zhou Jingran squinted his eyes and looked at Cheng Ke, suddenly laughed, shook the folding fan, approached Cheng Ke, and said in a low voice:

"Are you worried that Xiao Nuan will be angry and blame you?"

"How so? Xiao Nuan is such a reasonable person!"

Cheng Ke said with some vanity,

"Let's go back quickly, it's been such a big time, the emperor won't see us for a while, and people have to look around."

Cheng Ke pushed Zhou Jingran and went back to the Mingde Palace.

In the Dacheng Palace, the banquet ended, Cheng Guifei kept Princess Runan and Li Xiaonuan and drank a cup of tea slowly, until everyone was gone, and then sent the waiter to send the two to the palace gate in a sedan chair.

The car slowly drove out of the palace gate, just took two steps, the car paused slightly, the curtain was lifted, Cheng Ke probed in, hehe smiled and jumped into the car, Cicada Wing hurriedly got out of the car, and squeezed to the back and the jade board.

Cheng Ke took off his cloak and threw it aside, the probe looked at Li Xiaonuan carefully, Li Xiaonuan looked at him with a smile as usual and asked:

"Did you hear the good news?"

"What's the good news?"

Cheng Ke was stunned, leaned towards Li Xiaonuan, and stretched out his hand to grab her,

"And good news? I've only heard one annoying thing, but tell me first, what kind of good news? ”

"Well, Princess Xin, I have mentioned you a good relative, it is the eldest lady of the Lin family, I have seen it, she was born like a delicate nephrite, it seems that her temper and personality are also supple, but it is Duan Yanfu."

Li Xiaonuan looked at Cheng Ke and said with a smile, Cheng Ke stared at Li Xiaonuan with wide eyes,

"Is this good news?"

Cheng Ke raised his hand and touched Li Xiaonuan's forehead, Li Xiaonuan 'snapped', opened Cheng Ke's hand heavily, Cheng Ke laughed,

"I'm still angry, don't be angry, no matter how good it is, I don't want it, just the two of us, you don't care about this matter, I'll go to the king of letters to talk!"

"Where am I angry? I told you, I am a virtuous person, if you want, I will bring you in one a year, so that you can have new ideas every year. ”

Li Xiaonuan looked at Cheng Ke obliquely, and said slowly, Cheng Ke reached out to hold her tightly, stroked her abdomen with one hand, and laughed sullenly,

"I'll just say it, you're angry, don't be angry, you don't care about this matter, just now I wanted to go over to pick you up, and by the way, I replied to my aunt on the spot, but I heard that you had come out, so I hurried out, and asked Xiaojing to go and tell my aunt, and refused to do so, don't worry, I'll send you back to the house, and I'll go to talk to King Xin, Princess Xin's side, don't worry, and wait, I have to get you back this breath, don't be angry, you are pregnant, don't go to the palace in the future, that is a nest of right and wrong, there is no quiet day."

Cheng Ke hugged Li Xiaonuan, smiled and relieved her, Li Xiaonuan looked up at Cheng Ke, rolled his eyes a few times, pulled Cheng Ke, and asked in a low voice:

"I want to buy some Qing people, which steward in the house has the best access to the doorway here?"

Cheng Ke was stunned, looked at Li Xiaonuan suspiciously, as if he remembered something, and suddenly became vigilant,

"What are you doing with the Qing people?"

"People have a good intention, I have to thank you well, the courtesy is still exchanged, isn't that what you mean?"

Li Xiaonuan pulled Cheng Ke's sleeve and laughed while talking, Cheng Ke raised his eyebrows and laughed,

"You want to send the Qing people to the palace of the king of Xin? The king is not a greedy man, so what's the use of that? ”

"You don't care, you just tell me, which one is good?"

"Peaceful, he bought the girls in the house, and he handled it."

"Hmm."

Li Xiaonuan squinted her eyes and slowly calculated, Cheng Ke looked down at her, opened his mouth, and thought about it, he didn't ask in the end, let her be, Xiaonuan has always been measured in doing things.

The car stopped in the second gate, Cheng Ke jumped out of the car, helped Li Xiaonuan down, took two quick steps, reached out to the princess's car, stretched out his hand to help the princess get out of the car, the princess looked at Cheng Ke lovingly, and asked in a low voice:

"Xiao Nuan told you? You ......"

"Having said that, I have already asked Xiaojing to go to my aunt's place for me to refuse, don't worry about this."

Cheng Ke frowned, and the princess nodded busily,

"That's fine, it's okay to go back."

As she spoke, the princess turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan and ordered:

"Hurry back and rest, I've been tired for most of the day, are my feet sore? I just said, the performance ceremony in this palace is the most tormenting person, hurry up, hurry back and rest, this fetus is sitting firmly, and you have to be more careful. ”

Li Xiaonuan bent his knees and agreed, got on the sedan chair with the hand of the cicada wing, and went back to Qinglian Courtyard, Cheng Ke saw Li Xiaonuan's sedan chair go away, and then turned around and helped the princess to get on the sedan chair, watched her turn the corner door, lowered her head and thought about it, and went to the inner study to talk to her father.

Li Xiaonuan returned to Qinglian Courtyard, changed into homely clothes, went to the couch and drank a cup of lotus seed tea, thought carefully for a while, and then ordered a sedan chair and went to Ruizitang.

The next day is the rest of the day, early in the morning, with red silk in his eyes, leading more than a dozen young Qingqi people who were bought overnight to stand still in the second door, called a few mothers-in-law to watch, and trotted all the way to Qinglian Courtyard to reply, not long, Pinghe got the order, and the two mothers-in-law who were in charge of etiquette in the house hurried out, and took a dozen people into a guest house, called seven or eight girls to come in, and waited for more than a dozen Qingqi people to freshen up, change clothes and jewelry, and dress up neatly.

At the gate of the courtyard, there are more than a dozen green bamboo sedan chairs tied with red silk and festive, and the sedan chair man who is oblique with red silk and is full of energy looks at the courtyard with a probe, and more than a dozen suona hands are also obliquely tied with red silk, carrying a suona tied with red silk in their hands, and the sedan chair man is full of interest and stretches his neck to look at the excitement.

Ping'an led a few things to be in charge, standing outside the courtyard gate with a frown, looking at the steward who was ready to watch the excitement with the same interest as the sedan chair man, twisted his brows and sighed, such a nonsense method, the prince didn't care, just acquiesced silently, alas, too, this old lady spoke, who dared to refute it in the mansion?

Not long, the mother-in-law led a neatly dressed row of Qing people out, instructed and sent them on the sedan chair in turn, the sedan chair man was full of spirit to get up the sedan chair, out of the house, divided into two teams, the front of the Runan palace steward held the big red post leading, the back of a few suona hands vigorously blowing festive tunes, the sedan chair man held his head high, with a smile on his face carrying the sedan chair to follow, all the way to the letter of the king's mansion, all the way to the Tang Prime Minister's mansion.

The door of Prime Minister Tang Cheng's mansion was wide open, and more than a dozen porters looked at the lively and lively festive team from afar, pointing and laughing, and watched the festive team rushing towards him, and he was stunned for a while.

The steward of the Runan Royal Mansion was full of smiles, ran up the steps quickly, and said in a loud voice:

"Our concubine has sent thank you gifts to the prime minister, uncle, and second master, who will say hello?"

The head of the porter reacted first, hurriedly stepped forward, with a smile on his face, and said:

"Wait a minute, the little one will go."

As he spoke, he turned his head and instructed the porters who were still standing stupidly watching the excitement,

"Quick, pour a cup of tea for this master, please rest, I'll go to Tongyu."

Saying that, rushing in, not long after, Tang Cheng's eldest son, the Tang family's uncle, followed the porter, rushed out, the steward had already commanded the sedan chair man, put down the sedan chair, lifted the curtain, called the sedan chair in the sedan chair to come out, and stood neatly in the door of the house waiting.

When the steward saw Uncle Tang running over, he hurriedly greeted him, holding the post high,

"Give a gift to Uncle Tang, the little one was ordered by the old lady of my family, and sent some small thank you gifts to the prime minister, the uncle and the second master, and the old lady of my family ordered that the little one must be handed over to the prime minister by hand."

Uncle Tang stared at the huge red post, where did he dare to take it, he was busy turning sideways, accepted the half-salute, and politely gave way:

"That's that, please come with me."

The steward turned around and beckoned, and the eight Qingqi people followed the steward with bated breath according to the mother-in-law's instructions, and went into the main hall with a glimpse of flowers.

Prime Minister Tang stood at the door of the main hall, half-bowed, stretched out his hands, respectfully accepted the post, opened it and glanced at it, and hurriedly handed it back.

"The ancestor has something, let people come over and pass on the word, this is too polite, I can't afford it, I really can't afford it."

The steward took the post, bowed respectfully, pointed to the row of Qingqi people standing behind him, and said with a smile:

"Our ancestors said, Princess Xin is concerned about my family and the princess, this is the prime minister's goddaughter, our ancestors are very grateful, so he instructed the little ones to buy these eight Qing people with their hearts and send them to the prime minister's mansion, four for the prime minister to make a warm bed, waiting closely, two for Uncle Tang, two for the second master Tang, our ancestor also said, looking forward to these eight girls can give the prime minister's mansion branches, then our ancestors' intentions will arrive."

The steward looked up at Prime Minister Tang who was smiling and Uncle Tang who was stunned and his mouth was half open, paused, and then said:

"Our ancestor has sent someone to Jiangnan to buy such a little girl, come back and **** well, if Prime Minister Tang and the uncle and the second master like it, our ancestor said that he will often send some to the house in the future."

Prime Minister Tang swept over the row of beautiful women standing with his hands down, stared at the steward, swallowed his saliva, and asked in a calm voice:

"The old man has received the ancestor's wishes, this person can't afford it, so please ask the steward to take it back."

The steward straightened up, looked at Prime Minister Tang Cheng with a smile and said,

"The temper of our ancestors, who doesn't know in the capital, the orders of the ancestors, the little ones don't dare to go away, if the prime minister thinks that the people sent by our ancestors are not good, or the prime minister will return them to our ancestors in person, and the small ones don't dare to take them back."

As if he remembered something, the steward looked at Prime Minister Tang Cheng and arched his hand, and said with a smile on his face:

"There is another thing, our ancestors confessed, this time the purchase is a little anxious, these Qing people, have not been inspected one by one, in a few days our ancestors will send people to the house, to see if there is a red, if not, the small one has to go to the hook fence."

Prime Minister Tang's face turned blue, Uncle Tang came to his senses, and while looking at his father, he glanced at those Qingqi people from the corner of his eyes, and he was also embarrassed

cough, it's late, before eight o'clock in the evening of the second watch, the leisure will be as early as possible, but this time, the time is really uncertain, there are too many unexpected things, out of control.
