25. Chapter 25
Ku'er obviously didn't want to say anything, and the waterboat didn't ask anymore, he had his own calculations in his heart, maybe he could take Ku'er out of Lu for a walk during this time, and after taking the princess away, there wouldn't be so many things in the house.
It's just a matter with the princess, and he has to go to the imperial uncle to talk about it, and it is absolutely impossible to marry the princess. It's not just because of the bitterness, he also has his own considerations, the identity of the princess is too complicated, not to mention the imperial uncle, even the grandfather is also ambitious, if he marries the princess, then the power of the Zhao family will only be greater, which is not a good thing for anyone.
"Young master, there is a son looking for you outside." Qiu Ju came in to pray.
"Who?"
"That son said that his surname was Fan, and he was a friend of the young master."
Ziqing?
"Invite him in." The water boat got up and stretched out his hand to press Ku'er's shoulder: "You take Xue'er inside first." He didn't want Ku'er to see Fan Ziqing, or he didn't want Fan Ziqing to see Ku'er.
Ku'er nodded and went inside with Xue'er.
Fan Ziqing's face was ugly when he came in, and the water boat looked at him and waved his hand to let Qiu Ju out. poured water for him, he knew Fan Ziqing, and he would never come to him if he had nothing to do.
"Brother Fan, what's wrong?"
Fan Ziqing's face was a little tired, where was he still in the mood to drink water, and after sitting down in a handsome robe, he spoke: "The goods in Shanghai and Hangzhou have been robbed, and all our people have been killed." ”
With a bang, the water cup spun around on the table a few times, and his eyes began to become sharp, if it was just to grab the goods, it might be a conflict of interest between merchants, but it was not so simple for all his people to be killed.
"Find out who did it?"
Fan Ziqing shook his head, "From the beginning of the year to the present, there have been people who have been making trouble in secret, and our people have checked it, but they are always robbed halfway, I suspect that it is someone from the court." ”
People in the court, the eyes of the waterboat gradually glowed with cold light, he is just the boss behind the scenes, who can know the way, and he is coming to himself?
Xue'er suddenly ran out of it, Fan Ziqing reacted very quickly and took out a dart and shot it over, Ku'er hugged Xue'er back very quickly, looking at Fan Ziqing with some complaints.
Fan Ziqing withdrew his hand and saw that Ku'er was stunned for a moment, like a heavenly immortal falling into the mortal world.
The waterboat passed, calmed the frightened Xue'er, looked back at Fan Ziqing, and pulled Ku'er over: "Ku'er, this is Ziqing." ”
Ku'er didn't like Fan Ziqing very much, just because he almost injured Xue'er just now, but he was still slightly blessed: "Fan Gongzi is polite." ”
Fan Ziqing is such a smart person, he naturally knows the displeasure in the bitter words, and he apologizes and says: "I offended a lot just now, and I asked the bitter girl to atone for her sins." "Since she is in the room, it must be deep in his heart.
The waterboat could see that Fan Ziqing saw the difference in bitterness, and he coughed: "Ziqing, you go back first, I remember this matter." ”
Fan Ziqing nodded, saw the meaning of the water boat, and smiled slightly bitterly, this is his person. Hating to meet when he is not married, this is the only feeling he has now. But he also understands that this feeling will only be a feeling, and his friendship with the waterboat will not change.
"Then I'll go first." Looking at Ku'er was a farewell, and he turned around and left.
Ku'er also heard what he said just now, but he didn't understand what they were talking about. She knew that the Dao Wangfu had its own business, but the young master had never taken over, so what did Fan Gongzi mean by what he said just now?
The waterboat pulled Ku'er to sit down, did not intend to hide it from her, and told her everything one by one.
Ku'er was shocked, he didn't expect that the young master who had been with him all day long and had so many things that he didn't know about. She looked at the water boat worriedly, this thing didn't sound simple, "Is it really okay?" ”
The water boat patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay, I know how to do this matter, you don't have to worry." ”
Ku'er nodded, but always felt that things were not so simple. The young master didn't say that she couldn't ask anymore, so she could only be anxious for him in her heart.
The water boat hugged Xue'er and teased her, "Pack up your things, we'll go to Hangzhou tomorrow." ”
"Hangzhou?" Ku'er looked up, and his intuition was related to this matter, but now that he went to Hangzhou, his father should leave when they came back, so should he leave too?
"Ku'er?" The water boat drank tea and looked at the bitter child in a daze, and pushed her shoulder, "What's the matter, what's the daze, hurry up and clean up, we'll leave tomorrow morning." ”
Ku'er came back to her senses and looked embarrassed: "But the emperor is still here, won't it be bad for us to leave." After all, there is still a marriage contract between you and the princess to discuss. ”
The water boat's face instantly became ugly, and she got up angrily, did she want to marry the princess so much?
Ku'er watched him go out, and his face fell. hugged Xue'er and kissed her little back, and let her down: "Xue'er will play by herself." He went inside to pack his things, and since he wanted to go, let him go. Father, shook his head and didn't want to think about it anymore, if it's not hers, it won't be hers after all, so why care about these days. Go, go, at least make the young master happy.
The water boat went all the way to the lotus pond, looked at the lake, and was annoyed that he was angry again. said that he would be good to her, spit out the anger in his chest fiercely, and turned around to go back to the water boat.
"Cousin." Shen Ruosu didn't expect that she would go to her aunt and grandmother and meet her cousin when she went out for a walk.
The water boat secretly complained badly, but still obediently went over to greet grandma: "Grandma." ”
The old lady took the hand of the waterboat and looked at him and the princess happily: "Where is the boat, I won't come to grandma's side." ”
"It's the boat that is not filial," he bowed his head and confessed, though he didn't think he was at fault.
put his and the princess's hands together, and liked the two standing together more and more, "Okay, boat, you go with Su'er, grandma will go back first when she is tired." ”
The princess was happy, this was the opportunity given to her by her aunt, and she naturally had to make good use of it.
The water boat watched Grandma leave, and withdrew his hand without a trace, putting it behind his back: "Where does the princess want to go?" ”
Shen Ruosu lowered her head and bit her lower lip, and said aggrievedly: "Cousin, do you hate Su'er?" ”
The waterboat frowned, "The princess thinks too much, the princess is gentle and lovely, how can the waterboat hate the princess." ”
"Then why is your cousin always called Princess Su'er, we are cousins, aren't we?" Shen Ruosu looked at the waterboat, and tears were already flashing in her eyes.
The water boat looked at her, and felt a little upset, but the person was already crying, what else could he do, "Cousin thinks too much, this gentleman's gift is still there." ”
Shen Ruosu bit her lower lip, lowered her head and tears slid down: "Since my cousin has something to do, Su'er won't bother." ”
The waterboat watched the people leave, and his mood was even more upset, he didn't think about messing with the crying princess. It seemed that it would be better for him to leave quickly, thinking about it while raising his feet and returning to the waterboat house.
