Here comes a lord of Qiangrong?

Gao Xian was puzzled, "Where is this country?" "Why haven't you heard of it?

Lang Zhong, the host of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and replied, "The minister consulted the ancient books, and in the northwest border of Daliang, there is indeed a country named Qiangrong. I heard that their land was rich in precious stones, and it was very rich. About three hundred years ago, their country had sent envoys to the Central Plains to congratulate, and now it is the second time, this is a gift from the lord of Qiangrong to His Majesty. ”

As the eunuch presented a belt inlaid with huge gemstones, the hundreds of officials in the hall collectively gasped, and even Gao Xian's eyes flashed.

It's okay for him to barely make up such a belt in the palace, but at most it's just one. But this small country actually casually made such a belt, so how rich does it have to be? However, when the belt was taken closer and looked closely, Gao Xian felt that something was wrong.

"It's okay with this gem, but how can the craftsmanship of this inlaid belt look like the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the capital?"

Don't be an imposter, right? With such a long way away, who knows if it's true or not?

The host and guest Langzhong replied truthfully, "According to the lord of the Qiang Rong country, because of the long distance, he is afraid that he will be robbed and killed if he brings a serious guard of honor, so he is in order to pay for a visit. The ministers went to check their horses, and they were indeed horses from the Western Regions, especially those ridden by the lord of the country, and they were the only horses that could be ridden by the monarch, and there should be no reason to cheat. The lord of the Qiang Rong country also said that if the emperor liked it, he could give this horse to His Majesty, but please give him a few horses to drive home. ”

Many ministers in the court couldn't help but laugh when they heard it, although they didn't meet each other. But they all think that this lord is really interesting. Even such a valuable gem is said to be given away, are you afraid that you can't afford to buy a horse?

Gao Xian is a person who fights, and naturally loves horses, so he hurriedly said, "Go back and entertain this lord and prepare to meet him." If he really has the heart to sacrifice his horse, my stable is up to him to choose. ”

The Ministry of Rites and the host and guest Langzhong responded together and hurried to prepare.

At this time, in the leisure garden, there was a lot of purple and red, and the warblers were singing.

The old lady was very interested and Aunt Shi sat in a soft pocket before and after. With Nian Fuhui, the mother and daughter played in the garden.

It sounded like one thing before. It's another thing to actually see it.

Aunt Shi looked at the maid and servant woman dressed as a small servant, and praised it repeatedly, "This idea is good, it looks refreshing." That is, you little ghost. I came up with this trick. ”

Nian Fu said busily. "I didn't come up with that. It was the idea of the colt. It is said that in front of a room of female guests, what is the use of dressing up well? It's better to dress up as a man, but it looks chic. ”

I have to say. The people who know women best have to be men, and the idea of Yin Horse is very popular. And it is easy to separate the maids in the garden from the outsiders, and if something happens, it is easy to cook.

Compared with Aunt Shi, who pays attention to the maid's clothing, the old lady prefers to see the turtles lazily basking in the sun on the pond and the little squirrels jumping in the treetops.

Princess Zhenshun came out and smiled, "Why bother? If the old lady is free, she will come to visit when she has time, isn't it more interesting than watching it at home? ”

Seeing that the princess was coming, the family was busy with the ceremony, but Zhen Shun said, "This can break me, several of them are the elders of the little aunt, what kind of score do I put on?" Don't come down soon, just sit like this, you have to be polite, I'll go. ”

In the end, the old lady still ordered someone to put down the soft sedan chair, and Mrs. Shi sat in the sedan chair and bowed to Zhenshun.

Zhenshun returned the salute one by one, pulled Nianfu aside, and said with excitement on his face, "Do you know? The few people I brought in today, all of them have applied for cards, and all of them are gold cards, and they have booked places. It is estimated that our cards are not enough to sell, and there is still a daily amount of hospitality, do you want to add some? ”

Nianfu had a profiteer's face, waved his hand and refused, "Resolutely do not add, especially the card." Tell them that there are so many cards this year, and they won't be sold out. Whether or not to add it in the future, and when it will be added, is another story. ”

Sister is playing this style, if there are all over the street, who wants to spend this money?

Good! Zhen was happy, and asked her to beckon the old lady to walk slowly, and then went to receive the next batch of female guests. They have long had a clear division of labor, one person receives relatives and friends, and the other person goes to receive customers, without delay.

However, although the scenery of this leisure garden is good, the first main feature is not this.

It's Nianfu's best food.

Because it is a female guest, Nianfu has configured various packages for different groups. There are those who whiten the skin, those who have a rosy complexion, and those who remove dark yellow and dark, and lose weight. There are also sweet, salty, light, pure, and vulgar advertising words in the taste, and there is always one for you.

Anyway, the old lady and Hui Niang's family were very happy to eat and have fun, and after noon, they went home, and strongly asked to pack a lot of their favorites.

When Nianfu sent her back, he was also praised by Mr. Su Da, who ordered takeout.

"But the portion is really too small, you sell it so expensive, aren't you afraid that people will scold you for being black?"

Nianfu hehe Yile, "It's all eaten by female guests, why do you want so much?" It's just small and delicate that makes it popular. Don't worry, I'll send some snacks, fruits and other things from time to time, and it won't be dark. ”

Little slippery head! Su Cheng scolded with a smile, but didn't say anything more, and let her rest.

Knowing that it was Zhenshun's turn to receive relatives and friends in the afternoon, Nianfu had to rush back to the leisure garden to greet visitors. The old lady was distressed, afraid that she would be tired, so she had to take Nianfu to take a nap in her room before leaving.

Nianfu did feel a little tired, so he lay down like a stream, let people light incense, and called her after sleeping for half an hour.

Taking advantage of this gap, Wu'er quietly came to talk to Liu'er.

Seeing that Nianfu was in a daze and was about to fall asleep, Cui Rong pursed her mouth and signaled that she was guarding here, and let Liu'er go out to talk.

"But what's the matter?"

Seeing Liu Er's generous and decent dress, between her eyebrows and eyes, she became more and more refreshed and capable, and the dancer who was still serving on the needlework in the broken garden couldn't help but feel more and more ashamed of herself.

"Good sister, can you help me talk to the county lord, and let me go to the garden over there to help?"

Biting her lip, she said with some unwillingness, "Even Laixi has been in charge of the maid in the past, and I have studied a few years more than her, right?" ”

Liu Er glanced at her and said unceremoniously, "You have read more books than her, but she has been in business with the county lord for a few years more than you." The garden over there is not a female champion in the scientific examination, what is the use of being able to read? ”

Wu'er's face turned red, and there was a glint of grievances in her eyes.

Liu Er couldn't bear it when she saw it, "You girl, good is good, and you don't have any bad intentions, but you just don't know how to put your mind on the right idea." ”

Wu'er raised her sleeves aggrievedly to wipe her tears, and choked up, "Why didn't I use it on the right point?" I didn't seduce the lords, I was lazy, but I didn't protect the county lord's things that time, so I was disgusted. Then you were lucky and got the chance to go back, but I ......"

When Liu Er heard her say this, she put away her sympathy and sneered again, "With you saying this, I have all relied on luck to get to where I am now?" If you really think so, then you will be an honest needlegirl in this life. ”

Seeing that she turned around to leave, Wu'er pulled her back, "Good sister, can't I be wrong?" You can help me. ”

Liu Er sighed lightly, "You just don't understand what I mean when you say this. Forget it, in the end, sisters, I'll just tell you through. Don't you understand the character of our county lord? She is kind-hearted, but not confused. It's up to anyone to do anything, and I don't have the ability to say that for you. Do you think I can have today, just by virtue of the master? If I hadn't worked hard myself, I would have squeezed it out a long time ago. ”

Wu'er collected her tears and asked ignorantly, "Then how do you use your heart?" ”

Liu Er said, "Intentions are to keep the things that the master tells you in your heart and do them as if they were your own." ”

"But I'm not by my master's side......"

Liu Er patiently taught her, "Aren't you doing needlework now also to share your master's worries?" How can you do this job well, you can't use your brain? ”

Wu'er looked at her blankly, "No matter how good I do, it's in the hands of the master?" ”

Liu Er was angry, "Forget it, if you are like this, you won't understand it if I say it again." Remember, do your needlework well in the future, and help others when you have time. Our master is a kind person, as long as you work hard, I won't treat you badly. But if you want to be valued, you have to show the ability to be valued, otherwise why should people promote you? Think about it slowly, I'll go first. ”

Wu'er looked at her back, still trapped in her own thoughts.

Nianfu doesn't give her a chance, how can she show the ability to be valued? She can read and read, if she goes to serve in the leisure garden, why is it not better than not knowing a big word and a happy one?

Mama He stood not far away, looked at her incomprehensible expression, shook her head, and went to the small kitchen to stew the soup that the old lady had drunk in the afternoon.

When the old lady got up from a nap, Nianfu left early.

Mama He told her about this little episode, and the old lady shook her head vigorously when she heard it, "Some people, I really can't blame the master for not lifting up." You say that if you don't open your mind like this, how can you lift it up? If she is loyal to her heart, it is fine, but she is not. This time, I also paid attention to matching her with a boy, so that she would save her from thinking about it all day long, and then raise a second Lan Gu, which would make people respond. ”

A few days ago, the Tan family handed over all the deeds to the old lady who had summoned them to the broken garden. Some of them are old enough to get married.

The old lady and Mama He slowly discussed the character and temper of these subordinates, and came to ask them one by one, although they are slaves, they must be responsible for this kind of major matter.

It's just that Mo Yun, although he is old, he resolutely refuses to get married, "The young master is not married, how can I have the face to marry?" ”

The old lady sighed that although he was dull, he was a truly loyal man, and he was much more worry-free than some people. (To be continued......)
