Chapter 267: Preparing to Return to Beijing
Zhu Biao has pity for the suffering people, but he does not have hope for their humanity, and he will not be naΓ―ve to think that those who come out of suffering will definitely be more considerate of the people at the bottom, maybe they will do more excessively, after all, they have been suffering for too long, and they can't resist the sweetness at all.
Zhu Biao smiled and stroked the little milk cat in his arms and said, "If you grow up and become a tiger, will you still let those few step on you?" β
Zhu Biao listened to the meow and walked out of the yard, the Jiangnan garden changed the scenery step by step, obviously he didn't take a few steps, but it was a completely different feeling when he looked at it.
Liu Jin followed step by step, thinking that the prince actually likes cats and dogs, and he should be able to find a good quality after returning to Beijing, it is rare for the master to have fun, he Liu Jin should naturally be dedicated, I heard that there is a falcon training in Mongolia...
Zhu Biao walked a few steps and said, "Let the people who are secretly protecting pay attention, this is the Chen family's back house." β
Liu Jin was stunned when he heard this, and then understood, it seemed that His Royal Highness intended to accept Miss Chen into the palace, and after hurriedly agreeing, he made a gesture, and the voice of Ying Nuo came from the dark.
Just walked out not far away, in the small courtyard in the distance, the sound of the piano played and the flute started, it seems that the young ladies from all sides want to fly on the branches and become phoenixes, Liu Jin bowed down and asked with a smile: "Do you want the slave maid to investigate?"
It's not to marry the crown princess, as long as Zhu Biao is happy to accept it, it's the same, and the Chen family will not have an opinion, as long as there is this attitude, it will be easy to promote the Chen prefect when he enters the Zhongshu Province in the future.
Zhu Biao shook his head, he didn't have the heart to pick a good color now, since he wanted to raise the Chen family, it was naturally better to accept the daughter of the Chen prefect, otherwise where would he be worthy of tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.
Just walked to a pond pavilion, here from the shore extended into the pond like an island, the weeping willows on the side are half covered and half hidden, it seems particularly interesting, you can see the fish in the pond constantly surging near the railing, red, yellow, white, see people coming and rush over, flicking their tails and opening their mouths as if to grab food.
Zhu Biao looked interesting, the little milk cat in his arms was afraid of meowing at first, and the little paws tightly hooked Zhu Biao's clothes and kept shrinking back, as if he saw some monster, I don't know if he was afraid of water or this school of fish.
Liu Jin was originally saying auspicious words on the side, but suddenly saw the old lady Chen in the distance leading the eldest lady of the Chen family to walk by, it seemed that she was heading towards the courtyard of Her Royal Highness, and hurriedly whispered: "Master, the old lady of the Chen family has passed, it seems that she should go to see you, did the slave and maid go to call them?" β
Zhu Biao turned his head and glanced at it when he heard this, but the old lady Chen couldn't see it, but the girls who followed behind were all carrying food boxes, and he was the only one in this house who could make the old lady personally deliver the food, so he nodded,
Liu Jin hurriedly ran a few steps to call someone after getting the order, they should not have known that the prince had come out to wander around, maybe they didn't dare to go straight to the prince even if they knew, although they were in the Chen Mansion, they didn't have the qualifications to pay attention to the prince's movements.
Zhu Biao walked to the stone bench and sat down, and then noticed that the stone table was also engraved with "Zhuangzi and Huizi swim on the beam, and the debate allusion about the joy of fish", not only the original text but also the pictures, and sure enough, there are surprises everywhere.
After a while, Liu Jin led Mrs. Chen and a group of people to come, the old lady not only led her daughter-in-law but also her granddaughter, a group of people knelt down to greet under the pavilion, Zhu Biao waved his hand and asked Liu Jin to help Mrs. Chen, after all, she was too old.
After the rest of the people saluted, Zhu Biao also let them get up, and Mrs. Chen walked into the pavilion and said with a smile: "I heard that His Royal Highness has not eaten yet, this is my Chen Mansion is not well entertained, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." β
Zhu Biao handed the kitten to Liu Jin and said with a smile: "The old lady is too polite, and the palace doesn't feel hungry yet." β
Old Madam Chen waved her hand lovingly and said: "Your Highness is the time to grow your body, even if you are not hungry, you should use it more, not to mention that I heard that I met a lot of people just now, and this laborious person is just using more." β
The maids on the side hurriedly opened the food box and took out exquisite side dishes from it, and placed them lightly on the stone table, while Liu Jin held the cat and looked into the distance on the other side, until someone came out and made a gesture, Liu Jin was relieved.
Zhu Biao just wanted to say that he had to wash his hands after hugging the cat, and a maid walked over quickly with a basin of water, Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction, and after washing his hands, he took the chopsticks and ate a few bites.
Mrs. Chen smiled and gave Miss Chen a look, and saw her standing up with a red face and walking to Zhu Biao's side to give him vegetables with her own hands, dressed in a moon-white Su embroidered Yuehua brocade shirt, with a pretty appearance and elegant temperament, Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and did not refuse.
In this way, the atmosphere is more harmonious, Mrs. Chen smiled and led the maids to retreat, Mrs. Chen was talking homely, Zhu Biao nodded from time to time, and then concentrated on the meal, Miss Chen was a little surprised, I didn't expect His Royal Highness to be so able to eat.
Mrs. Chen is extremely happy, as long as it is not a poor family, it is a good thing for boys to be able to eat in any way, after eating, Zhu Biao smiled at the eldest lady of the Liu family, and the little girl's white and tender cheeks were even redder, and there seemed to be a cloud of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River in her clear eyes, hazy and moist.
Stood up and took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to her, Liu Jin on the side had a bitter face, he thought that he would give it when he left tomorrow, and this negligence forgot to replace the jade pendant on His Highness's waist with the specially made batch, which was worn today and was very popular with His Royal Highness.
Old Madam Chen's eyes lit up, and Miss Chen was even more at a loss, she was such a big lady of the family, not to mention other men, even her father and brother were rare after the age of eight, and she looked at her grandmother a little nervously.
Old Madam Chen said softly: "Silly girl, Your Highness has not knelt down to thank you for your reward." β
Miss Chen naturally understood, and knelt down after looking at Zhu Biao, who was smiling and groaning, and then raised her hands above her head: "Courtier Chen Yunqing thanked His Highness for the reward." β
Zhu Biao put the jade pendant on his white and tender palm, and then said to Mrs. Chen: "Go back to the palace to rest, the old lady will not have to come to deliver the meal in person at night, if the prefect Chen comes back, let him come to see me." β
After speaking, he left directly, and Mrs. Chen greeted her and helped her granddaughter with a smile: "You are a blessed person, as long as you are safe and stable in the future." β
After Zhu Biao returned to the house, he asked Liu Jin to get him other jade pendants, as the saying goes, a gentleman has no reason, jade does not go to the body, he has this hobby, whether it is collecting jade pendants or giving jade pendants, it is fun.
In the evening, Xu Yungong Changmao came to ask for instructions, and Zhu Biao didn't ask them to go directly, it is estimated that the outstanding young people of all clans will also participate in the banquet tonight, but to this extent, Zhu Biao does not need to go again.
If you really have the ability, you can naturally walk in front of him, and it will not be too late to know him when the time comes, there are only a few positions in front of Zhu Biao, the capable are up and the weak are down, there is nothing else to talk about.
