Gongsun Jian let out an unsalty "oh", asking him to make other reactions, such as thanking him for being taken care of, that is impossible, he is not a child anymore, and he is not a fool, this guard says that it is protection, but in fact it is similar to monitoring himself.

Besides, the people in the rivers and lakes should have been born for freedom, wandering, and eclectic, and they would probably be laughed at and generous by other people in the rivers and lakes as an eagle dog in the court.

With this alone, Gongsun Jian was very unimpressed with him.

Song Qingming also sensed Gongsun Jian's attitude towards him, and his tone was slightly cold and respectful, "Father-in-law Lu, I have seen people, I will do a good job." ”

Lu Dongshan nodded slightly, and Song Qingming flew away.

"General Gongsun doesn't have to mind, he is like this, and it doesn't have to be close to you to protect you, and it will definitely not interfere with your daily life around you."

At this time, another carriage came from behind, which was purple and gold, and looked extremely luxurious.

"The people from the Prince's Mansion are here, General Gongsun, our family will go back to the palace first, you go to familiarize yourself with the Prince's Mansion first, and our family will come to pick you up in the future."

"Don't delay too long, there is still a war on the Jingzhou side, and the time is very urgent."

With a little bitterness on his face, Lu Dongshan turned around and whispered the word "good", and left with the Praetorian Guard.

The carriage of the Prince's Mansion stopped beside Gongsun Jian, and the horseman waved his fist at Gongsun Jian and said respectfully, "Gongsun Gongzi, the younger one is the butler of the Prince's Mansion, the prince today took His Royal Highness the Prince and the county lord to fish outside the city according to the custom, and I hope that Gongsun Gongzi will not be surprised, this is one of the few times they get together, so they will send the little one to greet them." ”

Gongsun Jian is not such a particular person, since others are respectful to him, he will naturally not speak venomously, and said with a slight bow: "Thank you, uncle, there is still a burden on the carriage in the late life, let me go and take it off." ”

The housekeeper looked at the carriage when Gongsun Jian entered, he nodded slightly, the prince said that the son of an old friend came to the prince's mansion as a guest, and he wanted to entertain him, but he thought it was a stubborn gentleman, but he didn't expect to be so polite, and he didn't recognize life at all.

"Uncle...... It's a sensible child. ”

Gongsun Jian took the burden from the carriage and got into the carriage of the prince's mansion, and galloped away after the steward turned the horse's head.

This way is to live in the same car with Lu Dongshan, there is no chance to open the burden, he expected that the things given to him by the general before leaving, must be very important, waiting for a long time, waiting for a moment of alone time on the carriage of the prince's mansion, he solemnly opened the package, with a solemn face, after all the dead knots were untied, he turned into a black line.

I saw that in addition to a few pieces of clothing in the package, it was a large handful of silver tickets, at least seven or eight thousand taels, but he still had a stagnant smile, obviously very dissatisfied, he pulled the corners of his mouth, and said to himself: "That's it?" I thought it was something good, General Yu, General Yu, what I wanted was not silver! Besides, where did I find so much silver in the capital, I want your temporary gift, gift! ”

Five thousand miles away in Mianzhou, there was a wail in an elegant courtyard in Zhang's mansion, "Yu Youjun! My private money! A full three thousand taels of silver for you to give to that little rabbit! ”

There is no imaginary good thing, Gongsun Jian angrily put the silver ticket into his arms, and threw the clothes on the side of the carriage and sat down, suddenly, a white piece of paper flew out of the clothes, he reached out to catch it, and the irregular seal handwriting on it made it difficult to distinguish who it was, obviously written in a panic.

"Gongsun boy, eight thousand taels of silver tickets are enough for you to be chic, including three thousand taels of General Liu, don't admit it after returning to Mianzhou. Finally, remember to go to Ma Miao. ”

Gongsun Jian smiled when he saw it, folded the white paper and put it in his arms, and reorganized the scattered clothes.

Ma Miao, the son of Yu Youjun's former friends in the rivers and lakes when he entered Beijing last time, made a living selling cold tofu, and Gongsun Jian and Yu Youjun also settled the troubles in Liufu for him.

Since General Yu is going to look for him, he has time to see him when he goes back.

Gongsun Jianchang exhaled, leaned out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Uncle Butler, are we going to the back city?" ”

The housekeeper looked at the road intently and didn't look back, but his tone was still very polite, "Gongsun Gongzi, what are you doing in Houcheng?" We're going to the North City. ”

"Isn't Houcheng a place where officials live, you should go there when you go to the Prince's Mansion."

Gongsun Jian is a little strange, this capital is divided into three areas, namely the front city, the middle city, and the back city, the front city is divided into east and west, north and south cities, east and west are fang cities and common people's residential areas, and north and south are places where dignitaries live, is it possible that this prince also has a house in the north city?

The housekeeper laughed, "I didn't expect Gongsun Gongzi to know a lot about the capital, that's right, the officials in the capital all live in Houcheng, but my prince has a weak temperament and doesn't like officialdom, so he didn't settle in Houcheng, so he added a house in Beicheng and lived the life of a rich man, very leisurely, and I don't know how many times more comfortable than Prince Kangyi's intrigue all day long." When I saw Gongsun Gongzi's good face, I will say a few more words to you, but I am not allowed to spread it out. ”

Gongsun Jian nodded, "This is natural, let's chat only this horse knows, uncle, didn't you just say that Prince Qing has very little time to reunite with his children, and he doesn't seem to be very carefree." ”

"It's just that compared to other officials, how can the prince not care about things, our prince also has some idle things to do, things are not big, even if you drink and listen to music while doing things, it is okay, but you can't pull away, and you are quite helpless."

"Then can we go to the place where the prince is fishing?"

The housekeeper shook his head, "Gongsun Gongzi don't be embarrassed, I don't dare to bother, it's not too late to see you when the prince comes back later." ”

Gongsun Jian didn't insist, he just casually inquired about what kind of person this Prince Mingqing was, and as a person summoned by His Majesty, he could be arranged to his mansion, this is not Gongsun Jian wearing a high hat for himself, from which it can be seen that His Majesty also attaches great importance to this person.

As for the little things that the housekeeper said, Gongsun Jian also felt that it was a half-truth, but he couldn't find fault with it, and he always felt that there were other things in it.

"Call me when you get to the place, I'll take a nap first."

Gongsun Jian is not a person who drills the horns of the bull, so he can't think of it, so he sits back in the car and closes his eyes to recuperate.

Lu Dongshan had already returned to the imperial study in the palace at this time, and Li Ru was standing barefoot on the windowsill in a dragon robe, as if he was waiting for him.

As soon as Lu Dongshan came in, Li Ru was a little impatient to ask, "How is it?" ”

Lu Dongshan knelt down and bowed: "Back to Your Majesty, the slave led him to the carriage of the prince's mansion and arranged Song Qingming over, he didn't seem to be interested in Song Qingming, and he didn't think much when he heard that Song Qingming was a master of the eighth grade." ”

Li Ru nodded and looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

"How do you feel about him these days when you've been in contact with him?"

"He does have a pure heart, when it comes to national thieves, he has been gritting his teeth, eager to eat his flesh and blood, and Yu Youjun's departure did not have much impact on him, it seems to have added to his hatred for Xishu, and when they parted, he also asked the servants to pick him up quickly, so as not to delay the Western Expedition."

The corners of Li Ru's mouth hooked, "Yang Liechen has made a meritorious service." ”

The slave felt that Yu Youjun still had a bit of a taste, and his words of comfort to Gongsun Jian gave this young man a lot of motivation.

Li Ru was noncommittal, "What about the others." ”

"The character is cheerful, kind to people, and allows the slave to say a digression, he does not have the slightest disrespect for the old slave, but treats him as an elder. He also has the vigor that a young man should have, and he really can't imagine that he is the one who took the lead on the battlefield and killed the two generals, Hong Tian and Zhong Guan. ”

Li Ru laughed and pointed to the eunuch of this dynasty and said: "You don't often praise people, but praising Gongsun Jianlai is the first way, speaking of Hong Tian and Zhong Guan, can't you guess why he doesn't care about Song Qingming?" Because he is most likely a master in his own right. ”

"This ...... The minions didn't see him make a move, and they didn't dare to comment on themselves. ”

Lu Dongshan looked left and right and continued: "The slave is brave, there is something unclear. ”

Li Ru was in a good mood at this time," he said. ”

"The emperor knows that Gongsun Jian has already married, why do you still want to marry him, the slave has observed these days, he doesn't look like a person who likes the new and hates the old, I'm afraid it ......"

"Are you afraid that he won't marry Li'er?"

Lu Dongshan nodded slightly, "He is also a very stubborn person, and the slave thinks that even if he marries, he will not let the little county lord be the main house......"

"Do you know why I arranged him to the Ming Palace?"

"The heart of the saint, the slave does not dare to speculate."

"You didn't mention to anyone else that I was going to marry him, did you?"

Lu Dongshan's eyes flashed with a hint of panic, and he swallowed his saliva, "Slave ......"

"That's it, Gongsun Jian doesn't know."

After interrupting Lu Dongshan, Li Ru continued: "In what capacity did you arrange him to enter the Ming Palace? Can you talk to King Ming in advance? ”

Lu Dongshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Before the slave left the city, he secretly went to Beicheng, and let him enter the Ming Palace, as the son of King Ming's old friend, and King Ming also knew. ”

"Then only three or four people know now, look at his performance, I want to see if he can take on the responsibility of my Great Zhou, if he dies in the strife, he is incompetent."

When Lu Dongshan heard this, Li Ru obviously guessed that he had told others about the marriage, and hurriedly kowtowed a few times, "The slave should die!" Please be punished! ”

"It's okay, the people of the capital don't know, by the way, the people of the capital, do you know?"

"In the capital, only three people know!"

Li Ru nodded, "I, King Ming, and you, it depends on whether Gongsun Jian has the ability to get out of the torrent and come to see me in front of the palace." ”

Li Ru turned around and helped Lu Dongshan up, the first eunuch of this dynasty was conscientious and cautious, this time he made a heavenly contribution, as long as the matter of the marriage could not be passed on to Gongsun Jian's ears for the time being, it would be okay for others to know, and he would not convict Lu Dongshan, after all, if he was gone, it would be difficult to find the next eunuch who was rigorous.

Lu Dongshan stood up tremblingly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." ”

Li Ru took a deep breath, "You just asked me why you knew that Gongsun Jian already had a wife, why did you still marry Li'er to him. ”

"The minion didn't dare to ask again."

Li Ru continued: "He married Li'er, there are many mountains in front of him, the first one is King Ming, do you dare to bet with me, King Ming will never meet Gongsun Jian before the marriage is decided, he estimates that now just like me and you, I have sent a lot of people to secretly supervise Gongsun Jian, and I bet ten taels of silver with you." ”

Lu Dongshan's face was bitter, Prince Mingqing refused to see Gongsun Jian is also reasonable, the relatives of the royal family were suddenly accused of marrying a hairy boy whose name is not passed down, no one will be convinced, at this time there must be a long-standing grudge in his heart, it is not bad not to assassinate Gongsun Jian, and give Gongsun Jian a good look? That must be impossible, if Your Majesty wants to ask for ten taels of silver, just say it.

Kelu Dongshan saw that His Majesty finally had such a Yaxing, and he didn't dare to defeat Yazhi, so he nodded helplessly and said: "The slave bets that King Ming will definitely see Gongsun Jian." ”

Li Ru let out an "oh" with a thoughtful "oh", "Father-in-law Lu, this is your half-month's money, and you won't be able to eat meat if you lose for half a month." ”

Lu Dongshan chuckled, "The leftovers that the emperor can't eat are also delicious." ”

Imperial palace meal, a bite of food is worth a hundred taels of silver, if you can get His Majesty's approval, eat the remaining imperial meal for half a month, Lu Dongshan still earned.
