Chapter 90: Ninety
ninety
Zhao Chengjin has experienced a lot of things, he can bend and stretch, even if he suffers a little loss in the hands of King Qi, he doesn't feel anything-he is still an elder in the end, and he has to be let go once in a while, so Zhao Chengjin quickly returned to normal, and arched his hand towards King Qi in a rare flattering manner, and King Qi immediately laughed proudly when he saw this.
When he arrived at Xiangshan Academy, His Royal Highness King Qi was still immersed in the rare victory and couldn't extricate himself, so much so that he also said a few good words to Ah Chu in front of Yeshan Chang, of course, it is difficult to say whether Ye Shanchang listened to it or not.
Xu You had seen this Yeshan chief when he was a cat before, and he was still in the study at that time to teach the prince and Zhao Chengjin them, compared to other teachers in the study, this one was really gentle and kind. I haven't seen him for several years, this great Confucian seems to be more energetic than before, his original gray hair has turned snow-white, but his complexion is excellent, and when he saw Zhao Chengjin, he immediately showed a kind and kind smile on his face.
Hearing that Brother Ping and Ah Chu were going to study at Xiangshan Academy, Chief Ye Shan responded with almost no hesitation, Zhao Chengjin was still a little embarrassed, and asked him if he still wanted to test them, but Chief Ye Shan waved his hand and said: "No, no, since it was brought by the prince himself, it won't be bad, the old man still remembers......" The old man began to recall Zhao Chengjin's sensible and well-behaved when he went to the study to teach, and specially praised him fiercely in front of Brother Ping, and Zhao Chengjin's face turned red.
His Royal Highness King Qi plucked out his ears and couldn't help but interject: "When this king was studying in the study, Ye Shanchang was also a Taifu. However, Mrs. Ye's temper was not very good at that time. "He is the youngest son of the first emperor, so naturally he can't be beaten, but his companions have suffered a lot, and his buttocks have been swollen for many years, and then as long as he mentions Ye Taifu's buttocks, it hurts.
Ye Shan's beard on the long chin twitched, and he glanced at His Royal Highness King Qi with a complicated expression, and finally didn't speak.
Ah Chu and their study were decided, and today's task was completed, Zhao Chengjin led the big guy to walk around Xiangshan Academy, and invited Xu You to climb the mountain to see the waterfall with great interest. It was difficult for Xu You to come out of the trip, so he gladly agreed.
Xu You is not one of those daughters in the capital who does not go out of the gate and does not step out of the second door, she has to follow Xue Daddy to play a set of punches every morning, running around the yard dozens of times, her body is very good, she climbs up the mountain and walks like flying, and it doesn't take long to leave Brother Ping and Ah Chu far behind, only His Royal Highness King Qi and Zhao Chengjin can go hand in hand.
"I really can't see that your little girl is quite energetic?" King Qi is a very casual person, he can't look down on it, no matter how others post it, he doesn't have a good face, but if it gets into his eyes, he will immediately become familiar with it. For Xu You, he has been quite cordial since the first time they met, although he himself knows that it is not appropriate to call a beautiful little girl a cat in a good manner, but in his heart he just thinks that Xu You is very similar to Xuetuan, so he can't help but be very kind to her.
If it was another little girl, she was looked at gently and gently by such a handsome prince, maybe she would have to beat faster and be cranky, but this kind of thing would never happen to Xu You. No matter how good-looking and gentle His Royal Highness King Qi is, in Xu Yu's heart, he will always be the funny person who was locked in the house by bad guys waiting for a cat to save his life - or a funny person in women's clothes.
"Let's compete and see who climbs up the mountain first?" King Qi looked at Xu Yu with a smile and proposed.
Zhao Chengjin immediately objected, "Seventh Uncle, Xiaoxue is a girl in the end, but she is in better health, and how can she compare to you, a martial arts practitioner." If you want to compare, why don't you compare yourself to these guards around me? Although they haven't been with me for a long time, they have also practiced, so it is better to ask Uncle Seven for advice. โ
"Who's going to compare with these rough people?" His Royal Highness King Qi squinted his eyes and looked him up and down, and smiled maliciously, "Brother Shun, you are quite cunning." "Coax him and the guards away, and this cunning boy will be able to walk alone with the little beauty, and talk while climbing the mountain, maybe there will be some accident on the way...... Prince Mingrui is a very old-fashioned and serious person, why did he give birth to such a son with a bad stomach? It's just that he still looks like a man and is well-dressed, no wonder people say that they are well-dressed beasts!
Zhao Chengjin pretended not to understand his words.
So, the group of them quickly went up the mountain, and finally reached the steps of the waterfall, but they didn't want the waterfall to stop flowing.
โโฆโฆ It hasn't rained for half a month......" the accompanying guard stammered and explained, looking like he was about to cry, "The subordinates still had water when they came the day before yesterday...... "Although the water flow is not large, it will not be completely cut off." It's good now, coaxed the prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qi up the mountain, just look at these dry big stones, even if Zhao Cheng didn't scold him, he didn't have the face to see people.
King Qi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and angrily scolded the guard, and then sat on the ground and didn't move, and said, "This king is tired, did you bring anything to eat?" Hurry up, starve to death. โ
Zhao Cheng glanced at the guards helplessly, and when the guards saw this, they quickly cleaned up a vacant lot, and placed the tea and pastries neatly one by one, and then respectfully asked everyone to move.
Although he didn't see the waterfall, Xu You was not disappointed at all, and when he came out to climb the mountain, he originally enjoyed this process. She sweated all the way today, and it was enough to see the beautiful scenery along the way. However, before going out, didn't Zhao Chengjin say that the maple leaves on the mountain were almost red, why didn't he see any red leaves?
So Xu You asked curiously, Zhao Chengjin blushed, and before he could speak, King Qi on the side had already patted the ground and laughed, "Silly girl, can you believe what this kid says?" Don't look at this little ghost who looks like a decent man and a gentleman, with a bad stomach in his stomach, he is just a fox. When is this time? You have to be half a month old to see the autumn leaves. You've been coaxed by him again. โ
Zhao Chengjin explained as usual: "I haven't been to Luoyan Mountain for several years, so it's not surprising that I got the wrong time. โ
The guards behind him also hurriedly jumped out to help him speak, "It's all the fault of his subordinates, the weather was cold when I came here the day before yesterday, and I met the woodcutter in the mountains who said that there would be red leaves to see in the past two days, so I recklessly went to report to the prince, I didn't want to be coaxed, so Miss Meng ran away in vain......"
This guard is still very young, but sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is born clean and delicate, like a high school student who doesn't know anything, which makes people feel good at first sight. Where would Xu You be angry with him, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I just asked casually, even if I can't see it, it's nothing." โ
Zhao Chengjin turned his face sideways and smiled at her, "We'll come back next time." With that, his gaze swept over King Qi's face again, and the corners of his mouth were hooked proudly.
This little bastard is really getting more and more shameless! King Qi secretly scolded in his heart.
They drank two pots of tea on the top of the mountain, and used some snacks, and Brother Ping and Ah Chu climbed up breathlessly, and as soon as they sat down, they were taught a lesson by King Qi. He found that he was not thick-skinned enough, and he had no way to take Zhao Chengjin's kid, so he simply went to bully the little one and came to teach Brother Ping and Ah Chu a lesson. While training people, he secretly glanced at Zhao Chengjin and Xu You, and found that these two people were both of the same virtues, drinking tea and eating, what should they do, and they simply came over to help these two little guys speak.
Who are these people!
His Royal Highness King Qi was angry, so he didn't play with them, and went down the mountain by himself, Zhao Cheng was heartbroken, and he pretended to keep two sentences, and happily watched His Royal Highness King Qi ride a horse and run away. "My seventh uncle, he always ...... like this" Zhao Chengjin smiled so much that his eyebrows and eyes were bent, "Like a child, Xiaoxue, don't worry about him." โ
On the way down the mountain, Xu You excitedly picked a large number of various leaves, saying that he wanted to go back to make bookmarks, "...... Will you do it? There is a kind of bookmark called leaf vein, but it is exquisite......"
"I won't." Zhao Cheng denied it, "It's very difficult to hear it, so let's wait for you to send it to me." โ
"Oh well! By the way, which one do you want? โ
"This ...... No, this kind of bamboo is also good-looking......" Zhao Chengjin looked hesitant, "It seems to be quite good-looking." โ
"Then I'll give you one for each." Xu Yu said briskly.
Zhao Chengjin was satisfied.
After going down the mountain, the carriage had just gone a short distance, and a guard came forward to Zhao Chengjin and whispered something in his ear, Zhao Chengjin frowned, and his face changed slightly. Xu Youzheng happened to see it, and his heart was slightly uneasy, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Is something wrong?" โ
Zhao Chengjin smiled at her and shook his head, "It's nothing," he paused, thought about it, and said again, "My mother is back in the city." โ
Princess Rui is back!
"Then why don't you hurry home!" Xu You hurriedly said: "Otherwise, the princess will come home and see that there is no one anywhere, so she must not be anxious with you." By the way, does the princess know about Brother Ping'er going to Xiangshan Academy? โ
Zhao Cheng laughed, "Of course I told my mother. Besides, it was Brother Ping who didn't want to go to the study, and His Majesty agreed. "Maybe it's because Brother Ping once injured his leg, even if it has been cured now, His Majesty the Emperor always feels that he owes him a debt, so he is very tolerant of Brother Ping'er and does not use the various rules of the royal family to pressure him. Prince Rui also talked to him before leaving Beijing, and it seems that His Majesty is still preparing to wait for Brother Ping to grow up before giving him a title.
Zhao Chengjin said it easily in his mouth, but his heart was not so peaceful. Princess Rui hasn't been back to Beijing for more than half a year, and she suddenly came back without saying hello at this time, could it be that someone was chewing her tongue in front of her?
No matter what Zhao Cheng thought in his heart, he still sent Xu You and Ah Chu back home, and then rushed to the palace. When he returned home, he immediately took Brother Ping to Xuanning Hall to greet Princess Rui.
"Mother wants to go back to Beijing, why don't you send someone back to say hello first, and I can go with Brother Ping to pick you up." As soon as Zhao Chengjin entered the house, he smiled at Princess Rui, and when he spoke, he stepped forward to salute Princess Rui, but was stopped by her.
"It's not that I can't find the way, I want you to take something." Princess Rui beckoned to the two brothers, beckoned them to sit down beside them, and didn't bother to beat around the bush, and asked Zhao Cheng directly: "I heard that you have been buying people outside in the past two days?" Is it because the people around you are not enough to call or what? Or is there someone in the house who is disobedient? โ
Zhao Chengjin's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he couldn't help laughing: "It turned out that my mother was afraid that I would be bullied, so she hurried back to support the child." After that, he deliberately got up and made a deep bow to Princess Rui, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, with your support, no one in the palace dares not to listen to the child." Even Brother Ping is extremely well-behaved. โ
"It's not because of this, then why did you suddenly buy people from outside?" Princess Rui was a little puzzled.
Zhao Cheng smiled at Princess Rui, and then glanced at the subordinates who were waiting beside her, Princess Rui understood, and immediately asked Mama Su to retreat from all the subordinates. When there were only three of them left in the house, Zhao Cheng told her about making tea. He knew his mother's character and didn't take things outside of his body seriously, so he didn't worry that she would object, and said: "Since I have made up my mind to sacrifice this method, I won't be stingy with this person, but the children in the house are too involved, so it is better to buy some unrelated and unprovoked criminal slaves outside, and save the future." โ
"It's so complicated, it's better to give that method directly to Your Majesty." Princess Rui said this in her mouth, but she knew in her heart that Zhao Chengjin was doing the right thing, the more he did in front of him, the more generous he would be when he presented it to His Majesty. Although Princess Rui doesn't drink tea, she also knows that the profits of this tea are huge, and not everyone is willing to give away the duck in hand.
"The Meng family is also willing to do it?" Princess Rui sighed lowly, a little surprised. The Rui Wangfu is not short of money, but the Meng family is an ordinary person, and without saying a word, they will give up this golden mountain, even those big families in the capital can't do such a bold thing.
Zhao Cheng smiled calmly, "Uncle Meng and Second Uncle are both open-minded and transparent people. "Knowing that he can't protect such an industry, he simply dedicates himself to the emperor as a favor, so that he can get some benefits, otherwise, even if he has the support of the Rui Wangfu, he may not be set up by someone one day, and even lose all the people and property.
They talked for a while, and seeing that Princess Rui was a little tired, Zhao Chengjin got up and led Brother Ping to leave, but Princess Rui suddenly remembered something, and said suddenly: "That little girl from the Meng family, her name is Xiaoxue, I always hear you talk about her, it seems that she saved your life." When will you call her into the house for me to see, and thank her personally. โ
Zhao Chengjin was suddenly shocked in his heart, and he couldn't figure out what Princess Rui's move meant. Brother Ping opened his mouth happily and said, "It's Sister Xiaoxue." He tilted his head and interjected: "Xiaoxue's family also has a Ah Chu, who is going to study at Xiangshan Academy with the child, so why don't you call him to Ming'er?" โ
Princess Rui smiled softly and said, "Okay, whatever Brother Ping says is what it is." โ
โฆโฆโฆโฆ
Xu You was making bookmarks in the study, Ah Chu was writing on the side, and Mrs. Meng was chatting with people in the hall.
The old lady has a good temperament, and not long after coming to the capital, she got acquainted with the neighbors nearby, and from time to time some neighbors came to the house, and often chatted all afternoon.
โโฆโฆ The Xu family in the alley took a lot of effort to invite an aunt who came out of the palace to teach their eldest daughter the rules, which obviously had other ideas. The grandmother of the Hu family, who lived on the opposite side, lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "I don't know which house I want to send my daughter to?" โ
"It's not going to be entering the palace, is it?" Grandma of the Chen family said.
The grandmother of the Hu family immediately scoffed, "How can the Xu family have any way to enter the palace." It's just that I saw that the girl was born quite standard, so I thought it was a strange thing to live in. Since she was three years old, the eldest girl has been accompanied by three or four maids, and she has invested I don't know how much gold and silver, and now she has specially invited someone to teach the rules, and I don't know what kind of family she wants to marry into so that she will not lose. That's right-" The grandmother of the Hu family suddenly thought of something, turned her head to Mrs. Meng and said: "The eldest granddaughter of your family is also very good-looking, according to me, she is much better looking than the eldest girl of the Xu family, why don't you โกโกโกโก carefully, she will marry in the future." โ
"Tune ...... โกโก๏ผ โ
"It's to ask someone to teach the rules." The grandmother of the Chen family said: "The mansion of the dignitaries and nobles can be very exquisite, those daughters who are not young girls began to learn these, your eldest granddaughter is beautiful, and there are not some ways in the house, so you may not be able to climb the door to do good things." A few years ago, the old Li family in Acorn Hutong didn't have a daughter who married into the Guogong Mansion as a concubine and gave birth to several sons, and she was decent in the Guogong Mansion......"
Mrs. Meng felt a little pain in her brain, rubbed her temples, and didn't speak.
"But the rules are not easy to learn, I heard that the upbringing is very good, and the eldest girl of the Xu family is always trained to cry......"
Mrs. Meng was very entangled in her heart.
Otherwise, let the boss pay attention to it and recruit a door-to-door son-in-law!
