One hundred and one

After the New Year, for several days in a row, Prince Rui hid at home and sighed, Princess Rui couldn't stand it anymore, and finally couldn't help asking: "What is the prince worried about like this?" Speak up and listen, and see if the concubine can give you ideas for help. ”

Lord Rui rubbed his temples and said in infinite pain: "I'm thinking about how to talk to the Queen Mother about Brother Shun'er's marriage." "And the emperor, I'm afraid he won't let go easily.

Princess Rui didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Then wait, settle with the Meng family first." Didn't Brother Shun say that the Meng family didn't want his girl to marry early? Let's quietly settle the marriage, and after a year and a half, if it's not good, this matter will be solved by ourselves. ”

How could there be such a good thing, Lord Rui immediately guessed that there was something he didn't know about here, his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "What else do you and Brother Shun have to hide from me?" "It's not that he didn't want to secretly promote the boss of the Meng family, but after inquiring carefully, he found that his son has not been idle in the past two years, Meng Xueliang can enter Beijing, and there is a □□ chance that Zhao Cheng will be behind him, and in just a few years, he has gone from a white body to a six-grade official, although the military attache is not as valuable as a civilian official, but it is already eye-catching enough, and it is really not obvious that Lord Rui is really good at this time.

Princess Rui smiled incomprehensibly, picked up the teacup and shook it in front of Prince Rui, Prince Rui didn't understand what it meant, raised his eyebrows, and looked puzzled.

"Didn't the prince ask the concubine what kind of tea was in this cup a few days ago?" Princess Rui said slowly.

Lord Rui was still puzzled, "What does it have to do with the contents of this cup?" He smelled a bit like tea, but it was fresher and more elegant than the tea he drank on weekdays, so he asked casually, but he didn't want Princess Rui to smile and say nothing, he also wanted to ask her for some, but Princess Rui refused to give it. Lord Rui pretended to be annoyed at the time, and swore that he would enter the palace to find the emperor, but he asked around the palace, and no one had ever drunk this thing. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Princess Rui about it carefully, but he was later interrupted by Zhao Chengjin's marriage.

Princess Rui smiled, "It's not time for this year's new tea yet, so Brother Shun hasn't mentioned it to you." As she spoke, she got up and took out the tea leaves hidden in the cabinet and handed them to Lord Rui, who opened the tea jar suspiciously, looked down, and sniffed his nose closer, and suddenly showed a wonderful look on his face, "This ...... Where did this tea come from? Brother Shun made people do it? ”

"It was fried by the eldest girl of the Meng family," Princess Rui saw that Prince Rui's face was different, and quickly reached out and snatched the tea, and said: "Wait until this year's new tea will come out in March, and the prince will ask Brother Shun when the time comes." This idea is only enough for the concubine to drink alone. ”

"The Meng family still has this kind of skill?" Lord Rui is not stupid, he almost saw the huge benefits of the new tea at a glance, and he was suddenly a little excited, "Is this difficult?" This...... That's a ......."

"I heard Brother Shun say that from tea picking to tea making, it only took a day to get together if it went well. It's also easy to drink, just soak it in boiling water. Brother Shun means to use this recipe to change the title of the Meng family. Princess Rui's words suddenly poured cold water on Prince Rui's heart, he quickly calmed down, thought about it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I haven't even seen Brother Shun'er a child thoroughly." ”

Rui Wangfu is already extremely noble, if he really wants to rectify such a big thing, even if his imperial brother is now broad-minded and no longer doubts him, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are not vegetarians, plus a group of pink eye, he will definitely be unable to go out by those imperial historians.

The more Rui Wang Ye thought about it, the more he felt that his son was really smart, anyway, the Meng family couldn't keep this recipe, and Rui Wangfu had all kinds of scruples, so it was better to simply sell it in front of the emperor and get some real benefits, besides, even if he really gave this tea-making recipe to the imperial court, it didn't mean that his family couldn't do it.

"No, I have to ask Steward Xu to go to the south to buy a few tea plantations."

Princess Rui glanced at him like a fool, and said quietly: "The prince thinks that Brother Shun will be so stupid that he can't even think of this?" Shen Rong went out for so long a year ago, wasn't it just for this. ”

Lord Rui was not angry when he was ridiculed by her, but asked about the situation of those tea gardens with great interest, "...... In Fujian? Whether it's Fujian, the tea plantations over there are cheap, and the gardens in the Bashu area have long been sold to sky-high prices, how did they end up when I saw it......

The more Rui Wang Ye pondered, the more energetic he became, and finally he stroked his palm and laughed, and was about to get up as he spoke, Princess Rui saw that he said that the wind is rain, and immediately laughed, stretched out her hand and grabbed his sleeve and asked: "Where is the prince going to roar so urgently?" ”

"Enter the palace!" As soon as Lord Rui said this, he felt as if he was indeed in a hurry, and smiled embarrassedly, "By the way, what is Brother Shun'er's idea?" ”

"Anyway, I'll wait for the spring tea to come out," Princess Rui said angrily: "If you are so impatient, you can't compare to Brother Shun." "But the marriage with the Meng family still has to be decided as soon as possible, no one else is in a hurry about this matter, Zhao Cheng is so anxious that he can't wait to talk to Princess Rui every day.

Princess Rui told Prince Rui about the arrangements for marriage one by one, and even showed him the gift list when he proposed marriage, Prince Rui flipped through it, nodded and said: "It's all up to you, but don't make this marriage known all over the city for the time being, our two families just know it." Otherwise, the Meng family will attract envy, and the Queen Mother will probably be blamed a lot. When the title of the Meng family is in hand, I will explain to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will have nothing to say at that time. ”

Princess Rui didn't know these truths, glanced at him, and said: "Don't worry, the Meng family is not the kind of frivolous person, not to mention that the marriage has not been decided, even if it is really decided, it will not be shouted everywhere, otherwise, people obviously know that Brother Shun is interesting to the eldest girl of the Meng family, and they still want to recruit a son-in-law for her?" ”

That makes sense! No matter who the family in this capital is, if they know that the prince of Rui Wangfu is going to get married, I am afraid that my head will be squeezed, not that the matchmaker is marrying, or only accepting a concubine, and I can't wait to immediately send my daughter into the house dressed up beautifully, but the Meng family treats this daughter as an eyeball, for fear that the daughter will have a hard time marrying into the door, and would rather recruit more than climb high, which makes Zhao Cheng anxious like something.

What kind of world is this!

Lord Rui muttered in his heart, and on the other hand, he carefully discussed all kinds of details with Princess Rui, and after a while, he finally couldn't help but summon Zhao Cheng over to ask carefully, and when he went to Liyuan, he was not there at all, so he asked, saying that he went to the palace of King Qi.

"Brother Shun went to find Lao Qi?" Lord Rui said that he couldn't understand, "What is he looking for the seventh child?" ”

"Who knows?" Princess Rui doesn't care about this at all, she is not a mother who likes to hold everything in her hands, not to mention, a child like Brother Shun, no matter what he does, he always has a number in his heart, so Princess Rui will not care about all his whereabouts.

Prince Rui then tilted his mind to King Qi again, and began to exert his brother's wisdom, chattering and sighing about Lao Qi's marriage, "...... The Queen Mother was so angry that she said that she wouldn't care about him in the future, I think the seventh child is quite happy, I guess I can't wait for it. "In such a comparison, their brother Shun is simply a good child.

The good boy Zhao Cheng and His Royal Highness King Qi, who was given up by the Queen Mother, were sitting in the flower hall of the Qi Palace, drinking, King Qi's face was not quite right today, and after a few sips of wine, it became more and more obvious, looking at Zhao Cheng and stopping. Zhao Cheng was not in a hurry, he lowered his head and ate and drank slowly, occasionally boasting that "the plum blossoms in the house are blooming so well" and "this snow is estimated to have a few days" that have no practical meaning.

King Qi finally couldn't help it, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "I said Brother Shun, your marriage with the eldest girl of the Meng family is decided?" ”

"Hmm", Zhao Cheng raised his eyes to look at him, answered, and nodded, "It's decided." ”

King Qi immediately became interested, leaned closer to him, and asked curiously: "Then you tell Uncle Seven carefully, how did you settle this matter?" The last time I saw the eldest girl of the Meng family, I didn't seem to have any special meaning for you......" Before he finished speaking, he found that something was wrong, Zhao Chengjin squinted his eyes and glared at him angrily, his eyes were very displeased.

King Qi immediately laughed and said in a huff: "I still want to learn from you, but I have been making trouble for a long time, and I dare to toss you for so many years, and I haven't even done it for a little girl." Tsk, it's really a white face of yours. How handsome you are......"

Zhao Chengjin was not angry, and smiled indifferently, "I'm not in a hurry, anyway, Xiaoxue will have to marry me sooner or later, as long as I cover it more, I'm not afraid of covering her heart." It's Uncle Seven, you're not young, although your appearance is still outstanding, but in the end it's not as good as a teenager or □□ years old, and you're more than ten years older than others if you calculate it. ”

King Qi was suddenly so angry that his face turned red, and he wanted to refute it, but he really couldn't find anything to say, he had no choice but to admit that what Zhao Chengjin said was quite right, and his heart suddenly pulled cold.

Zhao Cheng saw his frustrated and frustrated appearance, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, thinking about King Qi's stinky mouth, but he was not bad, and there was indeed a deep uncle-nephew relationship between the two, so he thought about it, so he persuaded again: "Seventh uncle, don't take it too seriously, girl, always want to save face, you are patient, treat her well, she will always know." As long as there are no indiscriminate guys around her, she is sure to be impressed by you. ”

No matter how unreliable His Royal Highness King Qi is sometimes, he is a good person after all, and he will become a relative in the future, and he should also be a person who cares about the family and has a sense of responsibility. Well, from Zhao Chengjin's heart, he wished that His Royal Highness King Qi would get married as soon as possible.

So, Zhao Cheng patiently taught him the experience one by one - although even he himself couldn't say whether this was a successful experience or not.

When he came out of the Qi Palace, the sky was getting dark, but the sky was boiling with snow, Zhao Chengjin sat in the carriage and hesitated, and said to the coachman: "Go to Meng's house." ”

It gets dark early in winter, and when he arrives at the door of Meng's house, the sky has completely darkened, and Mrs. Meng was a little surprised to see him, and said while coming forward to greet him: "Why are you here at this time?" It's cold outside, hurry in, it's freezing. As soon as she approached, she faintly smelled some wine, and when she looked at it, she saw that Zhao Chengjin's face was slightly red, and her eyes were even shining with water, so she couldn't help but want to laugh, and hurriedly beckoned someone to come over to help.

Xu You also heard the movement and came out, to be honest, since the marriage was decided, she would still be a little embarrassed every time she saw Zhao Chengjin, so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look at him, and she no longer talked and laughed like before. She could feel Zhao Chengjin's disappointment, but even she couldn't control this strange change in mood, so she could only drag it out for the time being.

"Xiaoxue, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up and go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of decanting soup." Seeing her standing stupidly on the side, Mrs. Meng hurriedly ordered, "Didn't you see Brother Shun drinking too much?" ”

Xu You glanced at Zhao Chengjin again, and he also stared straight at her, his eyes were shining, and he smiled slightly. Even Mrs. Meng couldn't stand that stupid look, and quickly dragged him into the house.

How much alcohol was drunk? Xu You thought while cooking hangover soup in the kitchen, she remembered that Zhao Chengjin drank a lot of alcohol, but he had been a bandit in the cottage, who could get him drunk, and get drunk like that stupid look, and only Mrs. Meng would believe him!

But she still honestly cooked the hangover soup, and sent it over in person, watching Zhao Cheng drink the soup, she was relieved, and then raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes and complained: "If you can't drink it, don't drink so much, it's not very old, but you will be strong." ”

Old Madam Meng sank her face and reproached: "Xiaoxue, what are you talking about, it's really unruly." ”

"It's okay, Grandma." Zhao Chengjin's eyes became brighter and brighter in the dim light, he grinned, showing his snow-white teeth, and said to Xu Yu with some careful flattery: "I will drink less in the future." Today is ...... My seventh uncle poured it, and he was in a bad mood...... "He sold King Qi without hesitation, so, soon, Xu You was immersed in the fresh gossip news that His Royal Highness King Qi couldn't catch up with his girlfriend.

The author has something to say: In fact, up to now, the back is basically a matter of the progress of the relationship between the two people, the front is too slow, and the back can't suddenly pull too fast, it's really ...... 166 Reading Network
