Chapter 42 In the City
Seeing that Xu Shaoqiao's complexion changed and changed, his face was red and his ears were red, Liu Lan blurted out and said,
"He kissed you, too?"
As soon as Liu Lan's words came out, Ning Chaolai's face sank, and Xu Shaoqiao's smile disappeared. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Lan still didn't give up, grabbed Ning Chaolai's sleeve and shook it vigorously,
"When did he bully you? Come, say, I'm not angry. ”
"Shut up." Ning Chaolai said with an iron face, "Liu Lan, from this moment on, at least three feet away from me, take a step forward, I will tear you apart and feed the dogs." ”
With that, he shook off Liu Lan's hand and strode away.
Xu Shaoqiao looked at Liu Lan, who didn't know why, and left with a complicated expression.
"Okay, you Ning Dynasty is here, you just protect the black charcoal head, and today you are angry with me for this white-faced scholar, you are really angry with me."
Liu Lan stood in place and stomped his feet, this stamping scared him a lot, he just learned the drama for half a year to make Ning Chaolai happy, why did he even follow the woman now?
Liu Lan wiped a cold sweat.
Out of the gate of Liufu Mansion, Xu Shaoqiao quickly caught up with Ning Chaolai.
"Why are you here?"
Ning Chaolai spoke first, but he asked knowingly.
"You're hurt." Xu Shaoqiao was concise and to the point.
What Xu Shaoqiao wanted to know was nothing more than the reason for her injury, but now is not the time to say it.
Ning Chaolai diverted the topic,
"You must have been on the road all night when you came at this hour......
"You and your cousin ......," Xu Shaoqiao stopped talking.
Since she refused to say anything about the injury, she should always be able to talk about the matter with Liu Lan.
Ning Chaolai was only helpless, and she didn't want to mention anything Xu Shaoqiao said.
But Xu Shaoqiao's temperament, he must know one of two things, otherwise he will not give up.
Then she can only explain the matter with Liu Lan. She concluded that Xu Shaoqiao would not ask.
"It's just an accident, don't listen to your cousin's nonsense."
If you want to say that you don't mind at all, Ning Chaolai really can't do it. Thinking of the sudden scene in the snow, she could even feel her face burning.
Xu Shaoqiao nodded, and asked for a long time,
"How's the wound?"
"It's on the medicine, it's no big deal."
Ning Chaolai breathed a sigh of relief.
If Xu Shaoqiao continued with the previous question, she was not sure if her words would pass.
In the back hall of the yamen, the official cautiously reported to Tai Shuhuan the usefulness of the silver taels issued by the imperial court.
During this period, he focused on several major expenses such as buying grain, building houses, building roads, and building bridges.
Other than that, it's all trivial.
After the official finished speaking, he bent over, smiled, and waited for Uncle Huan's advice.
"The cost mentioned by the lord is about 50,000 taels of silver. The imperial court has been issued for two consecutive years, and the amount is 120,000, dare to ask your lordship, where is the remaining silver taels? ”
Uncle Tai turned over the carbon in the furnace with a wooden stick, and the soot flew everywhere.
The official's face was as usual, his body bowed even more, he lowered his eyebrows and said,
"Your Excellency is right, 60,000 yuan is allocated every year, 50,000 yuan is used, and the remaining 20,000 silver is used in two years, and the lower officials will charge the silver back to the national treasury."
"The adults laughed, Uncle Tai is a martial artist again, and he also learned abacus in the school in the past, although the abacus is not as good as the adult, but it is not even such a small account."
Following the prestige, who is it not Xu Shaoqiao, seeing Ning Chaolai in a long skirt behind him, Uncle Tai Huan swallowed back the words that he originally wanted to ask why Xu Shaoqiao came to Jiangnan.
It is true that where there is Ning Chaolai, there is Xu Shaoqiao.
"Childe is a blessed person who is rare in the ages, and he is familiar with Lord Yilang, so he must be the son of Dr. Xu, right? I didn't know that Gongzi came, but he didn't greet him from afar, and I hoped that Gongzi would forgive his sins. ”
The official has red mouth and white teeth, the official language is beautiful, and the gestures are all flattery.
Xu Shaoqiao smiled and found a circle chair to sit down.
Xu Shaoqiao ignored himself, and the official was still interested in talking about himself, so he turned his gaze to Ning Chaolai and flattered,
"I didn't expect Childe's girl to be so beautiful, it can really be said that there is one of them in the world, absolutely the other."
Xu Shaoqiao's eyes widened, glanced at Ning Chaolai, who was embarrassed, and lowered his head silently.
How bad is the look in his eyes, so that he can see the "all-in-one" style of Ning Chao as a subordinate?
The corners of Uncle Tai's mouth twitched, and he said with a sullen smile,
"My lord is usually sharp-eyed, but today I have lost my eyes, this ......" glanced at Ning Chaolai lightly and shook his head, "But Ning Xiang's daughter, the first talented woman in Chang'an, Ning Chaolai, His Majesty ordered Lord Ning to come with me." ”
The official smiled again and again, "The lower official is clumsy, it is the lower official who has no eyes and no beads, and he can't recognize Mount Tai, and he has seen Lord Ning." ”
Ning Chaolai has always disliked people who slap horses, besides, this person, tsk, is really good at slapping horses.
Thinking that he said that she was Xu Shaoqiao's girl, she didn't understand,
"Although I don't have a fine dress, I won't wear the same clothes as a girl. Could it be that there is no grandeur of the prime minister's son-in-law? ”
"Adults laugh, adults have the same temperament, and the style is nothing."
The official's waist bent more and more.
After Ning Chaolai glared at the official, he took a seat in the circle chair next to Xu Shaoqiao.
None of the three of them bought it, so he couldn't get off the stage. The official was embarrassed, and it happened that the three people in the room were all offended by him, so he had no choice but to arch his hand to Uncle Tai and laugh forcibly,
"My lord, it's still early, so it's better to go out for a walk. The food in Yuxuanlou was barely palatable, but it was in a hurry, and only a little thin wine was prepared to wash the dust for the three of them. ”
"Three?" Ning Chaolai stared at the official, "I can actually know in advance that there will be one more uninvited guest." ”
The official's face tightened, and Ning Chaolai was inevitably too sensitive.
Fortunately, Xu Shaoqiao spoke in time and said,
"How did you know in advance? Since I have come, how can you not entertain me? I'm not a girl. ”
Ning Chaolai was angry, and she was regarded as a girl, and she didn't know how many times she would be teased in the future.
Yuxuan Lou is a well-known restaurant in the south of the Yangtze River, non-aristocratic merchants are not allowed to enter, non-imperial court officials are not accepted, and the cost is calculated in gold.
If an official can hold a banquet in such a place, he will not have less money to fill his pockets on weekdays.
"Let's bring my boss's daughter-in-law along." Ning Chaolai proposed.
Xu Shaoqiao immediately objected, "What to do with her, she is not an official of the imperial court." ”
Ning Chaolai retorted and said, "At present, you are not either. ”
Ning Chaolai dialed a thousand catties, and Xu Shaoqiao closed his mouth stupidly.
"She is neither an official of the imperial court, nor the child of an official, so it is inconvenient for her to go with her." Uncle Tai said unhurriedly.
"Your Excellency has a point. Besides, it's cold outside the house, so it's better for the princess not to go out. The official agreed.
The doubts that Ning Chao had put aside before coming to his mind once again surrounded him.
Tai Shuhuan, Xu Shaoqiao and the official officials, the three of them, cooperate with each other, and there must be something to hide from her.
Fang Cai deliberately said that she was Xu Shaoqiao's girl, just to divert her attention.
