Ninety-seven
Lord Rui was originally on an errand in the south, and according to the earlier letter, it would take two or three days to arrive, but he didn't expect him to hurry up and return to the house on Princess Rui's birthday day and night.
It's just that Lord Rui has been traveling for a long time, and he really doesn't have the energy to come out and greet everyone, so he went back to the house to rest after showing his face. Xu You and Ah Chu said goodbye and went home after lunch.
Zhao Cheng sent Xu You out of the house with a red face, and when he left, he gave all kinds of advice, but he was young and thin-skinned, and he was embarrassed to say something like "drink some brown sugar water and pay attention to keeping warm", but the meaning was already obvious.
Ah Chu didn't understand it anyway, stared at the two of them curiously with wide eyes, and kept touching the back of his head. Xu You pretended to put on an indifferent posture, and smiled at him when he left, and suddenly remembered the bookmark hidden in his pocket, so he took it out and gave it to him.
"Send ...... Gave it to me? Zhao Chengjin's face came alive in an instant, and his two eyes sparkled, "What is it?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but want to take it apart and look at it.
"It's a bookmark, Sister Xiaoxue made it herself." Ah Chu said, he didn't seem to think it was enough, and poured another scoop of cold water, "I also have several." β
The smile on Zhao Chengjin's face was a little less restrained, but he still solemnly put away the small envelope with the bookmark, and beckoned the guards to escort the two sisters and brothers home, but Xu You politely declined, "Anyway, it's not far away, and it's only a quarter of an hour to walk." Ah Chu and I walked back. She said: "When I get to the mouth of the alley, I still have to buy Lao Chen's braised pig ears for Daddy." β
Zhao Cheng gave up, but he still reluctantly watched her leave, and waited until he couldn't see her figure anymore, and then he turned back to the house step by step.
With such a different attitude, the prince would be a fool if he couldn't see it anymore. Therefore, as soon as Xu You and them left, the prince couldn't help but start teasing him, "I said that you didn't react to Miss Li's overtures at all, it turns out that you already have a plan in your heart." Yes, yes, this little girl is pretty good-looking. β
Zhao Chengjin didn't refute this time, and said it without being in a hurry or annoyance, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily hooked a shallow smile. Seeing this, the prince quieted down, frowned slightly, touched his chin, and asked, "Brother Shun, are you really here?" β
Zhao Cheng turned his face stiff, "What does the prince's brother mean?" β
"What do you mean, you still don't understand?" The prince looked at him with a strange expression and said, "This little girl looks like she was born well, but you don't really want to marry her, do you?" This...... This is too low, how could the imperial uncle and the imperial aunt agree? The Imperial Grandmother would not have agreed. β
Zhao Chengjin didn't take his words seriously, waved his hand and said, "I know it in my heart." β
"Butβ"
Zhao Chengjin suddenly smiled at him and said, "Brother Prince, don't worry, I won't mess around." My mother already knew about this marriage, and as for my father, I begged him with a dead face, and he was not happy anymore, and he would not force me to marry a wife I didn't like. β
His attitude was so calm, which made the prince feel more and more incredible the more he thought about it, "The imperial aunt actually didn't object? "It's just that the eldest lady of the Li family can't look down on it, but it's not difficult to find a beautiful girl in the capital who is the right person for King Rui's mansion, how could Princess Rui agree to let the bereaved daughter of a low-grade military attachΓ© family enter the door, this is really incredible.
The prince went back to the palace in such a daze, until he went back to ask His Majesty the Emperor for peace, he was still thinking about it, and as soon as the emperor asked, he recruited him, and he said incomprehensibly: "I see Brother Shun'er's tone, it seems to be true." How could the royal uncle and the imperial aunt agree? β
His Majesty the Emperor was also a little surprised, thought about it, shook his head and said, "Your imperial uncle and imperial aunt didn't say anything, what do you worry about Brother Shun." This marriage matter, how can Brother Shun have the final say, your imperial aunt is soft-hearted, and it is not unusual to follow him, how can your imperial uncle agree. He said this in his mouth, but he thought deeply in his heart, he had already guessed that King Rui would not marry the powerful in Beijing in order to avoid suspicion, but he never expected that he would actually do this, if he really let the prince of Rui marry the daughter of a military attache with a low official position, not to mention what the courtiers would think, the Queen Mother would definitely make trouble with him.
The emperor suddenly had a headache and decided to summon King Rui into the palace to talk about it.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Rui Wang's Mansion, Xuanning Hall
Princess Rui was complaining to Lord Rui about the Li family's behavior, "...... In the end, it is also a family with a head and a face in the capital, and I don't know what to think, I have already clearly rejected the marriage, and they still want to come to the door as if they can't understand people's words. It's good this time, this kind of thing happened, so many ears in the garden listened, what kind of face would the Li family have to go out and walk around in the future. β
Rui Wang Ye slept and got up, he was in good spirits at this time, leaned on the couch and sneered: "Li family? What kind of face does their family talk about? is not a big family, in the early years, he still opened a grocery store in the capital, and he made a fortune because Li Zuolin became the left minister. Why did Emperor Xian and His Majesty promote him? It's not because his family background is thin and easy to control. Seeing that Li Zuolin is old, I am afraid that he will have to become a master in two years, none of the children and grandchildren of the Li family are powerful, as soon as he retreats, won't the Li family immediately decay, so he is so camping everywhere, wanting to cling to a good family business. I didn't look at how many catties and taels I had, but I hit the idea on our heads, and we couldn't get into the womb, so I came to think about Brother Shun again. This is to make this king a fool. β
If you really marry the eldest lady of the Li family, it will be the real stupidity. Although the Li family has a weak successor, it is still holding on at this time, the identity of the left minister is there, whoever marries the Li Mansion, His Majesty the Emperor has to think about it a few more times, it is really conspicuous! If it is a real magnate, it is just that, but this Li family is a burden, and in a few years, the whole family will have to cling to the palace and live.
Princess Rui hadn't thought about it so much before, and when she was reminded by Lord Rui, she was suddenly a little afraid, and said: "Fortunately, I refused the marriage, otherwise, wouldn't it have caused a lot of trouble for Brother Shun." β
Lord Rui waved his hand lazily and said: "Brother Shun's marriage doesn't need to be rushed, how old is he, look at each other slowly, and don't pay too much attention to family background, but there is one thing that must be paid attention to, it can't be like the Li family, none of the children and grandchildren can help up." Not to mention the grandparents and fathers, Brother Shun is still young in the end, and he sees the future. β
Princess Rui couldn't help laughing, "Yes, he's still young, but he's in a hurry." She didn't hide it from Lord Rui, so she told him Zhao Cheng's thoughts to Xu You, and said: "Last time, because the little girl said a few words to him, he was so angry that he didn't go out for several days, and swore that he would ignore people if he didn't apologize, but he didn't come over again." β
Lord Rui was immediately shocked, "There is such a thing." Is this really his son and not someone else? It's just another person.
"I can't control him anyway." Princess Rui shook her head helplessly and said, "If you are not happy with this marriage, just tell him yourself." β
Princess Rui frowned and remained silent, quiet for a while, before asking in a deep voice, "What is the situation of the Meng family?" β
"The family is also simple, there are only a few people in total, the boss of the Meng family is such a girl under his knees, but there is also a nephew, the size of Brother Ping, studying in Xiangshan Academy, I heard Brother Ping say that the child is also smart, I also saw it today, it looks quite smart, and there is a degree of advance and retreat." Princess Rui said that she didn't care about it, but in fact, she was still saying good things for the Meng family, how could Prince Rui not notice her attitude when she had been married to her for so many years, but the Meng family's family was too low.
Lord Rui had a great headache, knocked his fingers on the bed, and fell into a difficult situation.
The most relaxed is Xu You and Ah Chu's sister and brother, out of the gate of the palace, the two of them walked home without hurry, and when they arrived at the mouth of the alley, they went to Chen's braised meat shop to buy a pound of pig ears, wrapped them in oil paper and were about to go home, but Ah Chu suddenly squatted aside with his stomach in his arms, and whispered painfully: "Sister, I have a stomachache." β
Ah Chu also has a stomachache! Did you eat something wrong? Xu You squatted down beside him worriedly and asked with concern, "Where does it hurt?" Left or right belly? Disgusting or not? β
"That's it...... Stomach pain...... "Ah Chu was so painful that tears came out, and sweat oozed from his forehead.
Xu You immediately panicked, and hurriedly put Ah Chu on his back, "Ah Chu, don't worry, we will go home immediately, and then go to ask the doctor to come and treat you." You bear with it first......" She had already carried Ah Chu on her back when she spoke, and she was about to run home, but before she had taken a few steps, she heard someone calling her from behind.
"Xiao Xuetuan-" King Qi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looked at her with a grin, and saw Xu You's eagerness, only then did he realize that something was wrong, and said, "This...... What happened to Ah Chu? β
"He had a stomachache." Xu You's voice couldn't help but cry, "I'll carry him home." β
"If you're sick, go to the doctor." King Qi said angrily, as he spoke, he hugged Ah Chu without saying anything, and then turned over and got on the horse, "I'll take you to the doctor." With that, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu You's arm, and pulled her onto the horse's back with a force, and before Xu You could react, the horse spread its hooves and began to gallop.
The medical hall where King Qi was going was not far away, and after the horse ran for about a quarter of an hour, King Qi stopped at the gate of an inconspicuous courtyard, dismounted and held Ah Chu in his arms, and then unceremoniously rushed to the gate and kicked the door hard, "Save people, save people, Doctor Hu Yong, hurry up and open the door." β
Xu You paid all his attention to Ah Chu at this time, and he didn't pay attention to the title of King Qi, until the courtyard door was opened, and a handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen years old walked out of the courtyard, and she was stunned. The reason why she was stunned was not because this young man was handsome, but - this was clearly a girl dressed as a man!
But His Royal Highness King Qi didn't seem to notice this problem at all, he shouted at the girl at the top of his voice, "Doctor Hu Yong, hurry up and come over to see what's wrong with this little ghost." β
The girl glanced at him angrily, didn't quarrel with him very calmly, stretched out two fingers to check the pulse on Ah Chu's arm, and touched a few more on his belly, until Ah Chu screamed a few times like killing a pig, and then took his hand back without hurry, and said, "It's okay, just take a dose of medicine." β
"Really?" King Qi seemed to be a little unconvinced, and said to the girl with wide eyes: "You haven't looked carefully, what if you make a mistake?" If you can't do it, let your master come. β
The girl immediately exploded, jumped up angrily, pointed at King Qi and scolded, "What do you mean? If you can't believe me, why send people to me, thinking that I am a soft persimmon to pinch with you? Don't think you're some kind of ghost prince, I'm afraid of you, I haven't said a good word in my mouth all day long, what bullshit prince, give me how far and how far to roll! β
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Xu You hurriedly rushed forward, bravely covered King Qi's mouth, and smiled at the young man with a flattering smile: "Please hurry up and open a prescription." β
Seeing this, the girl seemed to agree with Xu You's bold behavior, smiled at her unexpectedly, and even gave her a thumbs up, and then slowly returned to the house with her hands behind her back. Only then did Xu You let go of the hand covering King Qi's mouth, and quietly wiped it on his back.
King Qi was about to faint, and yelled at her angrily, "Okay, you little snow ball, you are really fat, dare to do something to this king!" You're really a snow ball! β
Xu You was speechless at His Royal Highness King Qi's illogical reasoning, she rubbed her temples, and said to him helplessly: "Your Royal Highness King Qi, our family Ah Chu is still lying here." She wasn't in the mood to joke with him right now.
Only then did the King of Qi recover from his anger, and hurriedly sent Ah Chu to the house until he was placed on the bed, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi would continue to come to Xu Yu for trouble. Xu You had nothing to say to this adult, holding his forehead and refusing to talk to him.
King Qi was not annoyed, he sat on the side and chattered, Xu You wiped Ah Chu's sweat while looking out. After a while, the girl came out, carrying a paper bag in her hand and beckoning to Xu You: "You don't need to prescribe anything, I have medicine at home, so I will catch it for you directly." β
This girl is so sweet! Xu You took the medicine gratefully, and the girl led her to the kitchen to boil the medicine, "There are many small stoves in the kitchen, you can just pick one." β
Xu You hurriedly carried the medicine to the kitchen again, and King Qi touched his chin, but he didn't follow.
As a result, after only a while, Xu You heard the girl's irritable roar from outside, mixed with the shouting of King Qi, and then, there was another sound of popping, His Royal Highness King Qi rushed to the kitchen in a rage, a beautiful face flushed, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet with hatred, and kept muttering something "quack, bastard......"
Xu You couldn't stand it anymore, and persuaded aloud: "His Royal Highness King Qi, didn't I say you, you are all old, what do you have to do with other little girls?" Don't say that you can't quarrel with others, even if you really win the quarrel, it's not a decent thing to say it......"
King Qi looked at her blankly, "When did I compete with you?" β
Xu You looked at him speechlessly for a long time and decided not to talk to him. The medicine in the stove has been boiled, Xu You carefully poured the medicine into the bowl and sent it to Ah Chu, King Qi was stunned in the kitchen for a while, and when he came over, the whole person was a little wrong, the beautiful face was slightly calm, his eyes flickered, and he glanced at the girl's face from time to time, and the girl didn't give him a good face anyway.
Although the girl was young, her medical skills were excellent, Ah Chu drank the medicine, and after a while, it was effective, and she no longer complained of stomach pain, and after a few minutes, the little guy fell asleep.
His Royal Highness King Qi quieted down, not only did he not quarrel with the little girl, but took the initiative to go to Meng's house to report the news. Xu You was a little surprised, but he still thanked him solemnly.
As soon as he left, the little girl couldn't help but come to Xu You's side and talk to her, "Little girl, I see that you are beautiful and smart, how did you get mixed up with King Qi's two hundred and five?" He really doesn't make any sense! β
"It's not," although Xu You also thinks that His Royal Highness King Qi is sometimes funny, but the person is still very good, and occasionally quite reliable, after thinking about it, he still has good things to say for him, "In fact, he is also a pair of mouths, if you really talk about it, people are still very good." Look at the capital, which of those powerful sons and sons doesn't have eyes on the top of their heads, but His Royal Highness the King of Qi doesn't have any shelf, which is quite rare. β
The girl pursed her lips and seemed a little unconvinced, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say anything more.
The two of them chatted for a while, without mentioning King Qi, and talked about some messy things, where the tofu flowers are good, which braised pork jerky is delicious, etc., and when the King of Qi came back, the two of them actually talked quite speculatively, but they didn't hook up and make an appointment about where to play.
To Xu You's surprise, King Qi didn't call Xue Daddy and Second Uncle Meng over, but brought Zhao Chengjin back.
He quietly squeezed his eyebrows at Xu You, and was so proud that his tail was about to rise to the sky, "Look how smart I am." β
