Sheng Xuejian put down the scroll in his hand and looked at the jade pieces. Shook his head: "Although these jade pieces are worth a lot of money, they are a little worse to send to Song Liangchen." Ah Hua's eyes widened and said, "The nurse said that these jade pieces cost a lot of money!" At least I can buy a small house. ”

"I gave Lin Banxia a set of pure gold heads, Song Liangchen is the queen's niece, if you say that I and her can be regarded as a fate, if you only send such a jade piece, you don't have any thoughts. Now that I am on the side of His Royal Highness King Jin, this gift is not only for Song Liangchen, but also to make a statement to the Taifu. ”

The nurse had already put away the jade pieces, and said with a cautious expression: "Miss is right, it is the slave who is negligent." The slave maid heard from the person who sent the post that this time all the nobles of the family in Shengjing had received an invitation. ”

Sheng Xuejian pondered for a while and said, "You go to the storehouse and bring the red jade bracelet that Uncle Shangyue gave me." Ah Hua said with some distress when she heard this: "That's the only red jade in the world, and Miss is really willing!" ”

"I don't know, when did you become so greedy for money?" Sheng Xue looked at Ah Hua with a smile, Ah Hua's face was embarrassed, and she snorted: "I'm worried about the money for Miss." Sheng Xue didn't answer again, but pondered in her heart.

Taifu Mansion has always been very low-key, but it is the birthday of Miss Song, but she can't wait to invite all the people from Shengjing over, it seems that Lord Taifu is preparing for King Jin to seize the throne.

Sheng Xue saw that it was indeed good, although the queen had not summoned Mrs. Taifu yet, but after returning from the last spring hunt, Lord Taifu had already seen the clues. When Song Liangchen learned that his grandfather was going to make a big fanfare this time, he already knew it in his heart. The first one wrote a post for Sheng Xuejian. She also has to use her own methods to test Sheng Xuejian.

In the camellia garden of Izumo Temple, the Imperial Fu Shigelou is holding a kettle to carefully water the winter melon seedlings planted by Situ Shiso. Situ Zisu leaned against the fence wall: "What are you going to give for your sister's birthday?" Master Taifu is making a lot of fanfare, don't say you don't know who you are for. ”

"Probably no one sent it more expensive than Sheng Xue Jin, she is a rich person, this king is not compared with her." Huangfu Chonglou stuck out his tongue and continued to look down at the winter melon. Situ Zisu sighed: "The more arrogant she is, the more it represents her attitude." Although I don't know how rich this girl is. But now Bai Wuye has become an imperial businessman, and behind her is the rich Bai family. If it becomes your help, you will have no worries in terms of money and food. ”

Huangfu Chonglou put down the kettle. walked to Situ Zisu's side: "Grandpa is attentive to this king, and this king understands." You can rest assured, since this king is determined to take this path, he will naturally not be careless. It's just that now, the more aggressive I get. The more dangerous. It's better to be as indifferent as before. ”

"There's some truth to what you said, anyway, I just can't talk about you." Situ Zisu tilted his head to look at him, he didn't think how smart this gentleman was before, how could he think of everything he could think of now, he had already thought of it.

"The orchid I planted is blooming, so I'll give it to Sister Liangchen. Let her house be fragrant! Situ Zisu was looking at Huangfu Chonglou with admiring eyes, who knew that he would say such a thing in the next sentence. couldn't help but gently tap his head: "What are you thinking about?" Even I sent a golden hairpin, so you sent potted flowers? ”

"This is an orchid that I planted with my own hands. Do you want to send a basket of vegetables over again? Huangfu Chonglou looked at Situ Zisu in a daze, but the bright light in his eyes revealed his thoughts. What a wise man Situ Zisu. I can't see it.

On that day, the red light of Taifu Mansion in Nanshi hung up a whole street, and there was an endless stream of cars and horses in front of the door. A small crimson sedan chair fell, and Hongmei lifted the curtain: "Miss, we have arrived." Sheng Xue saw that he stretched out his hand from the sedan chair, and when he looked up, he saw a person standing in front of the sedan chair in a red dress.

Her heart jumped suddenly, the woman in front of her was graceful and slender, this face was too beautiful, and all the nobles in Shengjing could not compare, she had a pair of narrow phoenix eyes with affection. It's like it's going to suck people in.

"County Lord!" Hongmei and Baimei knelt down and saluted one after another, and Sheng Xue reacted from a stunned state when she saw it. Duanmu Jingyao stood in front of the sedan chair, also carefully looking at Sheng Xuejian. She has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for many years, and she has some ability to recognize people. But this eight-year-old female doll, why can't she see through the emotions between her eyebrows?

Sheng Xue saw that she had come back to her senses, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the county lord." Duanmu Jingyao stepped forward and helped Sheng Xuejian up: "You're welcome, maybe we will be a family in the future." Sheng Xue's face immediately turned red when she heard this, and Duanmu Jingyao had something to say. Duanmu Jinghua's voice came from behind him: "Sister! ”

Duanmu Jingyao immediately showed a helpless look and turned around: "What, can't I talk to her?" Duanmu Jinghua walked over and handed Sheng Xue a stable look, and then looked at her sister with a cold look: "Don't scare her." ”

Duanmu Jingyao clasped his hands: "Tut-tut!" Look, this short-term protector is obvious~~" Sheng Xuejian's face was already red and dripping blood, this Jingyao County Lord is really powerful.

"County Lord! Shizi! Yukimi, why are you standing outside? Fan Siyan's voice came from behind him, which relieved Sheng Xuejian's embarrassment. Song Liangchen's father, Song Hanlin, who happened to greet the guests at the door, saw it, and hurriedly came out and led these distinguished guests into the door.

When the four of them entered the main hall, they saw Huangfu Chonglou waving to them: "You guys are really late!" It's been a long time since we've all arrived! As soon as Situ Zisu saw Sheng Xue, he asked, "I don't know what gift you gave Liangchen this time?" Did you know? King Jin, a poor ghost, sent a pot of orchids! ”

Obviously, Situ Zisu was still not satisfied with the gift given by Huangfu Chonglou, Song Liangchen smiled and came out to relieve the siege: "This orchid was planted by His Royal Highness the King of Jin himself, I like it very much." Fan Siyan pouted and said, "You don't know, he planted a vegetable garden with this orchid, and he used it to fool me on my birthday last time." Don't be fooled! ”

Huangfu Chonglou was a little blushing by a few little girls, scratching her ears and cheeks in embarrassment, Sheng Xue said with a smile: "That pair of red jade bracelets, Miss Song still likes it?" As soon as these words came out, Duanmu Jingyao was surprised: "A few days ago, Bai Wuye spent a lot of effort to buy the red jade from Linglong Pavilion with 100,000 gold, and you just gave it away?" ”

These noble ladies of the family don't know the rivers and lakes, and they know that the red jade is valuable, but they don't know that the red jade is so valuable and valuable! Song Liangchen's face immediately changed. Duanmu Jingyao whispered to Duanmu Jinghua and sighed: "You little lady is too rich, right?" ”

"Miss Sheng, this gift is too valuable!" Song Liangchen looked at Sheng Xuejian with some shock, Sheng Xuejian just shook his head and said, "It's just right for you." ”

Huangfu Chonglou looked at Sheng Xue from the side and pondered. But the people did not notice it. After talking for a while, Song Liangchen took the girls to the back hall, and when they parted, Huangfu Chonglou whispered to Sheng Xuejian: "This king inherits a favor from you." It will be rewarded in the future. ”

The concubines of the Taifu Mansion gave birth to the birthday, and there were countless gifts to give, I thought that the coral beads from the East China Sea sent by His Royal Highness King Hui had won the first place, but I didn't expect the young lady of the Sheng family of the Zhongshu House to make an amazing shot, a red jade bracelet of 100,000 gold. No one can match it. This scenery has already suppressed the momentum of King Hui.

Huangfu Cassia had a bad face, and among the staff he followed behind him, there was Sheng Yunling from the Sheng family's room, and when he saw Sheng Xue at this moment, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, thinking that it was not a wise move for the Sheng family to completely cut off contact with the second room at the beginning.

After Song Hanlin entertained the guests and sat down, he went to the study to invite his father to be the prince of the court. "Father, as you expected, all the nobles of the Quanshengjing family are here today. Your protΓ©gΓ©s are all here, too. His Royal Highness the King of Jin is now crowned the prince, and everyone is around him at this time, intending to stammer. ”

Taifu twisted his silver beard and couldn't see through his expression, and only asked after a while, "How did King Jin deal with it?" ”

Speaking of King Jin, Song Hanlin couldn't help but frown: "He is still the same, ignoring all these people, and only caring about talking to the prince of Prince Gong's mansion." ”

Mrs. Song glanced at his son and sneered, "You are not as smart as Chonglou." These people are people who tend to be inflammatory, and the grass on both sides of the wall is upside down. They are not the help of Chonglou, but the people who should stay away from Chonglou the most. It is people like Duanmu Jinghua who really want to be retained. ”

Song Hanlin suddenly realized: "It seems that I am shallow." His Royal Highness the King of Jin is not the original His Royal Highness the King of Jin. Mrs. Song muttered: "Jingmin's child is definitely not incompetent. Now that he has made his choice, the old man should do his best for him. ”

He got up. He turned to his son and said, "Let's go." The front hall was originally lively, and as soon as Mrs. Song came out, those people stood up and saluted Mrs. Song, and many of Mrs. Song's protΓ©gΓ©s even stepped forward to talk to the teacher.

Huangfu Chonglou was joking with Duanmu Jinghua, and suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, and when he turned around, it was Song Liangchen's father, Song Hanlin: "King Jin." Father, please come over. Duanmu Jinghua glanced thoughtfully at Huangfu Chonglou. The casual look on Huangfu Chonglou's face became a little serious, he stood up and left with Song Hanlin.

In the back hall and on the stage, Shengjing's famous singers took turns to fight, singing and doing good work. Song Liangchen leaned on his mother's side, listening with relish. It's just that Sheng Xue next to her was a little embarrassed when she saw this, and she didn't know who was in the seat, she sat with the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Situ Zisu and Fan Siyan sat on the other side together.

Sheng Xuejian only focused all her energy on the drama on the stage. Lin Banxia exchanged glances with her mother. He summoned the girl next to him and spoke in a low voice. Sheng Xue didn't want to hear it, but the girl was standing between her and Lin Banxia, and now Sheng Xue saw that she had to listen even if she didn't want to hear it.

Lin Banxia looked at Sheng Xuejian's expression, his voice was loud and small, Sheng Xuejian vaguely heard the words Duanmu Jinghua, and after a while, he heard the backyard again, and when Sheng Xue saw it and wanted to listen carefully, Lin Banxia suddenly stood up and walked outside, with a happy look on his face.

Sheng Xue saw that the more she thought about it, the more suspicious she became, so she stood up and said to Hongmei and Baimei: "You two come with me." ”

When Huangfu Chonglou came to Song Taifu's side, there were only three or four people left by Song Taifu's side, but the three or four people who stayed behind were not ordinary people.

Huangfu Chonglou didn't care too much, and saluted to Master Taifu: "What is the matter with my grandfather looking for me?" Song Taifu smiled lightly: "Zuo Shangshu of the Household Department mentioned that this year's cold in the north and the lack of harvest of grains, what do you think?" ”

When those people saw that the teacher actually asked this prince who didn't ask about political affairs and only cared about fun, they all felt a little disapproving in their hearts. Zuo Shangshu even said directly: "Teacher, don't embarrass His Royal Highness King Jin." ”

It's just that Zuo Shangshu's words haven't finished yet, and Huangfu Chonglou spoke: "The disaster in the north is serious, but the household department Shangshu didn't report the disaster completely, right?" ”

Zuo Shangshu looked at Huangfu Chonglou in surprise: "His Royal Highness King Jin, how did you ......" Huangfu Chonglou's expression became more and more serious: "Hubu Shangshu embezzled money and food for not a day or two, a few days ago he and King Hui were enclosing land in the suburbs of Beijing together, and this king has already heard about it. The disaster in the north this time is too serious, and if it is reported in full, he will not be able to sit in the position of the head of the household. ”

Zuo Shangshu said hatefully: "Could it be that we don't care about the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people in the north?" Huangfu Chonglou frowned and sighed: "If there is a famine in the north, the imperial court will definitely allocate the money, and it depends on whether this money can really reach the victims." ”

Several adults were originally very disdainful of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, but now seeing him sad for the victims, it seems that he is completely different from King Hui. For a moment, you look at me, I look at you, and hesitate in his attitude.

Zuo Shangshu hesitated for a while and was about to open his mouth to speak, when suddenly the housekeeper came over with a shocked expression: "Master, the emperor is here!" ”

Huangfu Chonglou was also frightened by this sentence, why did the god man in the legend of the Apocalypse suddenly come back? However, some people reacted much faster than Huangfu Chonglou. When Huangfu Chonglou and Taifu went to the front door to greet the emperor, Huangfu Cassia was already standing there talking to the emperor.

It's just that it seems that Huangfu is a person's enthusiasm, and the emperor always stands there lightly, without saying a word. When Mrs. Song came, he smiled at Mrs. Song. Although Huangfu Cassia was embarrassed, he still stood there stubbornly.

He knew that his father believed in the emperor, and he must impress the emperor and let him take him as an apprentice. Fortunately, the emperor didn't have any superfluous reactions to the Huangfu Chonglou, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

"I don't know that the emperor is coming, and I am not welcome. Please! Song Taifu bowed his hand towards the emperor. (To be continued.) )
