Boss Zhang also had his own things to deal with, so Gong Zhu took Lieshan and the Seven Girls to the street.

"Xiao Qi, my godson will come over in the evening, you can see what you are good at, buy more and go back, and make a delicious meal."

Gong Zhu was in a good mood, and he also bought a lot of dishes for the seventh girl along the way, and also bought some snacks and snacks for Beiqi, as well as some fun things. Although it was not the first time that Lieshan had come to Northern Qi, it was the first time to walk around the crowded market to buy shoes and things at such a close distance, although he was carrying a lot of things in his hands, it did not hinder his mood at all.

"Boss, how do you sell this mutton?"

The seventh girl stopped in front of a mutton soup stall, and Gong Zhu opened her mouth to ask the boss for the price.

The boss turned around and opened the big pot of mutton soup, and the steaming heat came out all of a sudden, blocking between Gong Zhu and the boss. The boss is also a bold person, stirring the mutton soup in the pot with a special spoon.

"Ten dollars of silver is enough for your family."

After speaking, the boss covered the basin again, but when he looked at Shanggong Zhu, he was stunned.

"This old man looks familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere."

"Oh?"

Gong Zhu asked with interest,

"Where have you seen it?"

The boss scratched his hair and grinned.

"I can't remember, maybe my grandfather used to come to us to buy mutton. Master, what you just asked, I have enough food for five or six people, and I will give it to you, and I will give you ten dollars, and I will add all the remaining condiments to you. You can rest assured that you will not be lost. ”

Gong Zhu was amused by the boss's sincerity.

"Haha, okay, the boss will pretend to us like this. But I'll pay you again, you buy me a basin, and I'll put it back." ”

"Good, good."

The boss hurried down, it was not early, and he had to pack his things and rush back to the city now to be able to celebrate his mother's birthday. The kid who just added to the family last year didn't have time to celebrate when the situation was not good, and this time his mother may not have a few people to celebrate her birthday.

On the way back, the seventh girl looked at the food in her hand, and thought that she would be busy tonight. But fortunately, Gong Zhu bought those mutton, and when he boiled it with condiments, it would taste good, and it would save some effort. Gong Zhu was smiling all the way, he thought that when he was still in the palace before, because Chang Gui liked to eat mutton, he often took the opportunity to leave the palace to bring Chang Gui some back.

"Huh."

Thinking of Chang Gui's greedy appearance at that time, Gong Zhu laughed unconsciously. The expressions of the seventh girl and Gong Zhu were good, but Lieshan was not so happy, and the words of the boss of the sheep soup stall just now made him never forget it. How could the owner of a roadside stall know Boss Guan? In fact, Lieshan didn't know anything except that he knew that Boss Guan's surname was Guan. He didn't know the purpose of Boss Guan's trip and what it had to do with Prince Yongchang. He didn't stay by the prince's side like Qingshan and Qingshui for a long time, he only stayed by the prince's side in recent years, and he was still very young, and he always had such a curiosity in his heart.

The night was dark, and Boss Zhang also returned. Originally, Boss Zhang and Lieshan said that Boss Guan would not participate in the banquet, but they couldn't stop Boss Guan's warm invitation, so the two still sat down to eat together. Gong Zhu didn't care that Boss Zhang and Lieshan knew what they were going to discuss, on the contrary, he felt that he couldn't hide these things and be honest with each other. Moreover, he knew that even if there was no Boss Zhang and Lieshan at this table today, the content of their conversation would reach the ears of Prince Yongchang.

After the banquet was set up for a while, Chang Gui came over, and brought the girl who came to deliver the letter that day.

It's also inconvenient when Chang Gui comes out. After the queen rewarded the banquet, he was already a righteous duke, and everywhere he went, there were people who followed him to say good things, and he couldn't get out of his light life experience. Although Chang Gui should be serving here in Zhengyang Palace, the queen mother now has no helper like Lu Ping, so she often calls him over. He thought about it and finally came up with an idea that was impossible to refute.

"What? I? Father-in-law and me? ”

When Chang Gui told Sù Lotus about the idea he had come up with, he obviously frightened the child.

"I, I, I."

Lotus stammered and couldn't speak, not frightened, but didn't know what to do for a while, and was shocked.

"Lotus, listen to me, I don't know if I really want to be a palace husband and wife with you, it's just that I need such a pretense now. You can rest assured, it will never do anything to you. ”

In fact, this idea was only thought of by Chang Gui when he thought of the seven girls, back then, didn't the seven girls get close to the emperor under the guise of being a palace clothes husband and wife with Gong Zhu. Now he is already a grand duke, and on the surface, he is deeply favored by the queen, and it is not impossible to find a palace maid to be his wife.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law means, is it fake?"

"Yes, it's fake. Moreover, I am not going to have a happy event with you now, but I just want others to think so. ”

Lotus was silent for a long time, so silent that Chang Gui had to open his mouth to say that he had given up this idea. Lotus finally spoke softly,

"Yes, father-in-law, just listen to you."

"You, you agreed?"

"Yes, father-in-law, father-in-law is whatever he says, Lotus agrees."

Chang Gui looked at the lotus for a while, but he was still afraid that her lotus would misunderstand something, so he still explained to the lotus.

"Lotus, maybe you don't understand what I mean now, well, later, slowly you will know why I did this. What I want you to do is not to be my wife, but. ”

Chang Gui was also inconvenient to tell all her plans, and just when she wanted to say something, Lotus spoke again,

"Lotus may not understand, but Lotus knows that her father-in-law is a good person, and her father-in-law will not harm Lotus. Lotus will too, and will listen to her father-in-law's words well. ”

Chang Gui looked at the determined lotus, and didn't know what to say, so he led the lotus flower to serve in Zhengyang Palace.

Chang Gui figured out that the queen would definitely not summon him at night one day, and asked Lotus to leave the palace a day in advance to send a letter to the address given to him by Boss Zhang before. On the second day, he deliberately told the little eunuch who was guarding the Zhengyang Palace in front of many people that he wanted to take the lotus flower out for a walk. The tone and eyes were ambiguous, and everyone said with a knowing expression that they would definitely serve the emperor well, and told the father-in-law to rest assured to do his own things.

In this way, before dark, Chang Gui took the lotus flower to remove the palace gate.

"Godfather, Chunfu mother-in-law, let the child officially give the two of you a salute."

"Oh, Chang Gui, don't be like this."

As soon as Chang Gui entered the door, he said that he wanted to salute Gong Zhu and Chunfu's mother-in-law, no one could stop him, Gongzhu and Chunfu's mother-in-law sat in a high position, looking at Chang Gui who was saluting, and his heart was also very warm.

"Okay, okay, Chang Gui, get up quickly."

Gong Zhu hurriedly helped Chang Gui up, only to see the lotus standing behind Chang Gui,

"Chang Gui, who is this?"

The seventh girl recognized that this was the girl who had sent the letter before, and signaled to Chunfu's mother-in-law. Granny Chunfu nodded.

"This is the little palace maid who is serving in Zhengyang Palace, called Lotus, and she is still a child, but she is loyal to me."

Lotus heard that she was talking about her, and hurriedly saluted Gong Zhu and Chunfu's mother-in-law. It turned out that this was the godfather and godmother of the Grand Duke. Thinking of this, the lotus flower became even more respectful.
