Chapter 523: A Match Made in Heaven
On the way to Xiangshan, the two of them took a carriage, and the carriage was directly from the palace.
Along the way, in order to hide people's eyes, the carriage just ran at a speed and did not stop.
When he arrived on the stable official road, Zhu Guli remembered Bai Nian'an's matter and asked, "Xiaobai is looking for you?" ”
Zhou Xiaofu knew the meaning of these words as soon as she heard it, did she want to stimulate her abilities? Zhou Xiaofu nodded and said, "Yes, he is very persistent." ”
Zhu Guli glanced at the girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes, indescribably familiar, and suddenly an illusion came to his mind, forgetting the previous topic and saying with some doubts: "Have you ever been to the official road near Liupan Mountain?" ”
Zhou Xiaofu's face was calm, but his mind turned upside down, but after thinking about it, Liupan Mountain hid it from him that time because he needed to keep it secret, and now that he has basically said everything, there is no need to keep it secret.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Xiaofu nodded and said, "Well, something happened to my brother's study tour that time, so I took someone to Hancheng and passed by the Liupan Mountain Pipeline." ”
Zhu Guli looked at this girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes with eager eyes at this time, yes, why didn't he expect it, it was a woman dressed as a man who saved him, and he thought he had a special habit.
His heart was beating hard, but he said calmly: "It was Miss Zhou who saved me that time?" ”
Zhou Xiaofu nodded and said, "Well, I met you on the road and was chased, but when you got to the pipe, you fainted, so I simply turned back and asked the monk to take you back to the temple." ”
Although Zhu Guli listened to this narrative implicitly, the hardships and dangers in it could only be experienced by him, a reborn person. It was extremely difficult to escape the pursuit of those people, not to mention that the girl on Thursday was only a thirteen-year-old girl, although her martial arts skills should not be bad. There is a very powerful master, but it is also great to be able to find a way to get him away safely in that situation.
Well, the psychology of having some luck in this marriage will also be faint, this girl is the one who saved him that day, and it is also the turning point of his fate.
Zhu Guli no longer said about Liupan Mountain, but continued: "Regarding Xiaobai's requirements, wait for a while, and I'll take a look." ”
Zhou Xiaofu nodded and said, "En." If there are still suitable people, continue to cultivate some supernatural people, and you have also seen the method, and the main host himself has strong willpower, no problem. ”
There was a fire burning in Zhu Guli's eyes. With a serious face, he said: "Well, I will continue when I come back, thank you for your full support this time." ”
Zhou Xiaofu nodded, and suddenly thought of something and said, "Don't be in the house." It's getting hotter. ”
All right. Zhu Guli's face was a little red, thinking of the stench on his body after he finished refining that day, it was unbearable, and even the entire backyard road stinked so far.
Nodding expressionlessly, he twisted his head to the other side.
And Zhou Xiaofu looked at Zhu Guli's awkward appearance, a little funny, but didn't say anything, but quietly closed her eyes and practiced the breathing method.
The journey was very calm, and before lunch, the two arrived at the palace in the courtyard halfway up the mountain.
If you say it's another house, that's another house. Compared with the small courtyard of the farmhouse in the middle of the mountain, this place is simply tall.
The entire floor is a marble slab of aqua blue. There are various trees planted around, and small flower beds and yards can be seen everywhere, decorating the whole yard like a paradise.
The carriage went directly to the courtyard, and only stopped when it heard a row of houses in the backyard, Zhou Xiaofu came down first with a veil, and Qingbi had already received the news and stood at the door of the house waiting, seeing Zhou Xiaofu coming, she hurriedly helped her to enter the house.
The prince in the carriage followed the carriage to the courtyard in front of him, which was the main courtyard and the place where the concubine rested.
As soon as Zhou Xiaofu sat down, after drinking a cup of tea, a maid came to report, saying that the concubine invited Miss Thursday to come over for dinner.
Qingbi was a little nervous to help Zhou Xiaofu sort out her clothes and headdress, and felt that the young lady was wearing too plain, so she said hesitantly: "Miss, change your clothes, the slave brought the water-red dress that she wore to the wedding banquet in Jindu last time." ”
Zhou Xiaofu shook her head with a smile and said, "No need, let's go, it's rude to be late." ”
Qingbi didn't say much, so she hurriedly led Zhou Xiaofu to the front yard, and there was a mother-in-law waiting at the door early, although she didn't recognize Zhou Xiaofu, but Qingbi had been here for two days but she recognized it, and quickly welcomed her into the hall.
At this time, Zhou Xiaofu played a key role in the rules learned by Mama Liu, ordinary people look at the surface, and insiders look at the doorway, although this concubine is only a palace maid, but after all, she has been in the palace for so many years, and she also brought the prince out alive, which depends on people's skills.
After watching Zhou Xiaofu walk and salute, he immediately nodded with satisfaction, and looked at his son with a smile.
This son doesn't make a move, as soon as he makes a move, this choice is really excellent, just look at the set of rules of others, this walking posture and sitting posture, it is not something that can be practiced in a few days, this rule is comparable to the teaching and learning in the palace.
And what the concubine didn't know was that Zhou Xiaofu really hadn't been learning for long, if it weren't for her kung fu foundation, coupled with the fact that this standing body technique was already a rare and fatal move, she could even practice these, let alone some regular movements.
It's not hand-to-hand yet.
A salute is done smoothly, even Zhu Guli who was sitting on the side was dazzled, these two days together to talk about things, this will find that the rules of the Thursday girl are really good, I also heard the news of the spies coming back before, saying that the Thursday girl is learning the rules, and she is learning so well.
Well, as a princess in the future, this rule is enough.
The princess who was doing it on the side looked at her son's satisfied eyes and suddenly rejoiced, she was afraid that her son would not be satisfied with the girl who gave the marriage, it seemed that she was too worried.
And before he helped his son lead the old lady of the Zhou Mansion away, and under the guise that the master wanted to see Miss Thursday, I am afraid that it was also designed by his son. The concubine, who was so happy in her heart, suddenly thought of something and seemed to look at Zhou Xiaofu's chest before she thought, this Thursday girl is only thirteen, and her son will not have an idea about such a young girl. No, I have to persuade myself, no matter how much I have to wait until it is not, otherwise it will be too hurtful.
And Zhu Guli, who was sitting on the side, watched the mother-in-law serve the food, and didn't know that his wife was making up for it on the side.
The meals were all on the table, and the amount was very large, because the concubine knew that her son had eaten a lot. A little embarrassed, he said to Zhou Xiaofu: "Xiaofu, this brother Li has a lot of food, so there are more of them." ”
Zhou Xiaofu smiled faintly: "It's okay." You're welcome, Tof. "Secretly, I thought, if you knew that I also had a large amount of food, I wouldn't be so embarrassed.
So the next thing was a very pleasant meal.
And Zhu Guli became more generous after activating his ability.
The three of them ate together, and except for the concubine, who had a maid waiting for the meal, Zhou Xiaofu and Zhu Guli were the same. I don't like to have people around to serve me. It just affects the speed of eating.
In this way, the concubine looked at the rice bowl, soup bowl, and eight large bowls of fasting vegetables in front of her, and quickly ate them.
The concubine originally thought that her son's meal would scare her future daughter-in-law, who knows, the two have the same amount of food, is this also a match? The concubine comforted herself silently.
After rinsing their mouths, the two of them glanced at the bare vegetable bowls on the table with their eyes, and silently thought in their hearts that there was still something missing.
Well, it is estimated that if the concubine knew this, she would be scared unconscious.
After the maid cleaned up the table, the three of them left the dining room. I went to the hall and sat down and drank tea.
Zhou Xiaofu also found that this future mother-in-law is a soft and gentle character.
I guess it won't be hard to come soon.
The three of them drank tea, while the concubine asked Zhou Xiaofu about some things in the house. It's nothing more than some simple greetings, nothing more than the old lady's physical condition, and then how her stepmother treats her, and how her brothers and sisters get along.
Zhou Xiaofu answered simply, not rudely and steadily.
After answering, the concubine was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law, and said to the grandmother on the side: "Grandma Sun, bring that set of jewelry." ”
Immediately, Grandma Sun brought a set of familiar and unfamiliar dark peach gold velvet jewelry sets.
Zhou Xiaofu glanced at Zhu Guli lightly, and saw that he was also surprised, this was purchased by himself and then given to his mother, at that time he bought two sets, one he kept, and one set was given to his mother, at that time, I remembered that my mother liked it very much, why did she take it out and give it away, I must be very satisfied with my daughter-in-law.
But suddenly thinking of something Zhu Guli suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Xiaofu, and saw that there was a hint of embarrassment in her expression, oops, why did you forget it, this set was still purchased from the Thursday girl.
I immediately wanted to say something, but I stopped.
Zhou Xiaofu glanced at Zhu Guli, okay, he should have known his identity, but he didn't know why this man accepted it so calmly, as if it wasn't a big deal.
The concubine happily opened the box with her own hands, and then opened the diamond suit for Zhou Xiaofu to take a closer look.
The brilliant brilliance of the diamond was displayed in the room, so that every woman present couldn't help but be attracted, Zhou Xiaofu smiled psychologically: No matter what dynasty, the attraction of diamonds is not small for women.
After looking at it, Zhou Xiaofu pretended to be surprised and said, "What kind of gem is this, so shiny." ”
The concubine was very satisfied with the reaction of her future daughter-in-law, and said ostentatiously: "This is called a diamond, a foreign product, it was brought to me by Brother Li for the Chinese New Year last year, this diamond is more dazzling than a gemstone, especially this workmanship is simply indescribable, too delicate, I also found a famous jewelry master in Kyoto, no one can know what the texture of the chain behind the diamond is, and even the handwork is not as artificial as it is." ”
Zhou Xiaofu silently lit a candle in her heart, and then said with a smile in her mouth: "Yes, the little girl has never seen such a delicate object, presumably you are the only one in the whole of Kyoto." ”
This sycophant shot is excellent, I have to say that the concubine laughed instantly when she heard it.
Zhu Guli on the side felt that his scalp was a little itchy, and he felt better after scratching it.
I'm a little embarrassed at all.
Soon it was a push, the concubine wanted to give this set of jewelry to her future daughter-in-law as a gift for the first meeting, and Zhou Xiaofu knew the price, 30,000 taels of silver, this was the selling price at that time.
Besides, this diamond set is still good or not, and the concubine is only this set.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, Zhu Guli said: "You just accept it, mother, where does my son still have a set, I will send it to you when I go back." ”
Well, one sentence solves all the troubles, and the two of them are done with one set.
Although Zhou Xiaofu received her own things again, she was at ease.
Immediately, the three of them took a short break at noon, and only in the afternoon did they take a carriage to the temple together.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the temple, I saw a leading monk come to ask: "May I ask if it is the prince of Anding?" ”
Zhu Guli's little servant stepped forward to talk, and when he finished speaking, he heard the monk say that he had received the order of Master Wuxuan, and came to lead the three to sit in the master's courtyard.
And there are a lot of people who come to incense in the afternoon, and they are stunned when they see this, Master Wuxuan has not been out of the mountain for a long time, but he will name someone to see him, this person has a noble status? No, the dignity can have the dignity of the emperor, I heard that the emperor didn't want to see it in the New Year.
In the envious eyes of everyone, the three of them came all the way to a large courtyard, which was not the courtyard that Zhou Xiaofu came to every time before, it must have been used to receive people from outside.
Entering the hall, as soon as I took my seat, I saw Master Wuxuan and his junior brother Wunian coming together.
The two sides bowed and sat down.
And the concubine was the first time to see Master Wuxuan and didn't know what to say excitedly, because when she came in, she only let the three of them come in together, and she couldn't bring her maid, so Zhou Xiaofu had to pat the concubine's hand comfortingly.
The concubine looked at her future daughter-in-law gratefully, and her heart was even more satisfied, although she was a concubine, but after all, where was she born, she was a little nervous when she encountered a big scene, or faced with strangers.
But Master Wuxuan said directly: "Congratulations to the prince and Lord Zhou." ”
The two bowed their heads and accepted the blessing.
Looking at his mother's earnest gaze, Zhu Guli had no choice but to say: "This king came this time in the hope that the master can approve the eight characters for this king and the future princess." ”
Wu Xuan had already expected that the old man's eyebrows that seemed to be drooping raised lightly and nodded: "The prince is such a big thing, the old man should be careful." ”
After speaking, he began to criticize the eight characters.
After some calculations, just after the concubine nervously shook off Zhou Xiaofu's hand, she finally came out with a "match made in heaven"
Well, the concubine was jubilant and didn't know what to say, so she immediately wanted to give more money for sesame oil, and Wu Xuan said that she wanted to pray for the two newcomers, so no one could be there. (To be continued......) R1292
