Chapter 42: The Palace Gate Farce

Liu Mansion has been in low pressure for the past few days, Liu Da is sick, the third princess is reprimanded and grounded, and she gets angry every day, making the people who serve more and more cautious, for fear of angering the master. Liu Yuan apologized several times and coaxed a few times, and chose to ignore it when he saw that people couldn't put out the fire, which also made him angry and nowhere to go, so he endured it vigorously, and took care of his father while dealing with the affairs of the business.

At this moment, Liu Da Dang was lying on the bed, the room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and Liu Yuan was feeding Liu Da Dang to drink medicine.

Liu Da took a few sips, but he didn't want to drink anymore, waved his hand to signal that he didn't drink anymore, took a sip under the service of Yahuan, and waited for everyone to retreat before talking to Liu Yuan.

Liu Da said: "Recently, I have been waiting for the princess, if she loses her temper, she will endure it." ”

Liu Yuan lowered his eyes and did not respond.

Master Liu sighed and said, "The royal family is ruthless, no wonder Old Man Zhong is reluctant to hang the plaque of the Guozhang Mansion, it seems that we have to make some preparations early." Ahem, cough, let's reduce the business between our family and the Sun family. This time it's a warning, and I don't know what it will be next time. ”

Liu Yuan looked at Liu Da Dang with some doubts, the Zhong family's affairs were not very understanding.

Liu Da said: "Old man Zhong's children and grandchildren can't be supported, but one of his granddaughters is better than many people, a few people in the palace want to marry, she immediately married, escaped a catastrophe, if our Liu family also has such courage that day,..., we should also learn from the Zhong family, since ancient times money and power together, are feared by other authorities, and now that he is in good health, how can he allow others to covet his position." ”

Liu Yuan understood, the Zhong family has a woman who enters the palace and spoils the harem alone, and now she is the queen mother, there should be many people in the clan, and a glorious dignitary is.

But there has not been before, the Zhong family has always regarded themselves as businessmen, and often makes people forget that they are still today's foreign family, an uncle of the country, a county lord of Xinlan, and a king of Xuanli County.

The Zhong family has always proved to the present day or everyone that the Zhong family is just a merchant and does not want to have power.

Now their Liu family is also facing such a choice, and it is still unknown whether the prince can ascend to the throne, and now he is worried about their family's things before he ascends the throne, so the ascendant will also treat them as money bags, and it is time to reduce some contact.

Liu Yuan said: "I will take advantage of this to reduce my contact with them." ”

Master Liu nodded.

In the early morning of the second day, the breeze was blowing, and the fragrance of osmanthus wafted into the room faintly, drifting across the purple curtain, making the two people who hugged each other on the bed move their noses and sniffed, and one of them continued to sleep.

Wang Xuannian glanced at the person who was lazy in bed, shook his head slightly, and wanted to get up, but was held down, and muttered, "Sleep for a while." ”

Wang Xuannian said: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

"Hmm."

Wang Xuannian said: "I have some things to do, you can sleep alone." I'll call you later, how about that? ”

Zhong Xuanlan frowned slightly, let go of his hand, and said, "Go ahead." He turned around, rolled up the quilt and continued to sleep.

The corners of Wang Xuannian's eyes twitched, and the quilt on his body was rolled up. He also found that Zhong Xuanlan was used to sleeping with "things", and he still hugged the Lord who would not let go. He was held by Zhong Xuanlan at the beginning because he couldn't turn over, he didn't fit in, and his body would stiffen, and he got used to it after two or three times.

Now when I see her sleeping with the quilt in her arms, I always feel that it is an eyesore. But why does she like to sleep with "things" in her arms, and who else has she hugged before?

Wang Xuannian turned over and got up depressed, and he will investigate this matter later.

Not long after, Zhong Xuanlan also got up, and as soon as he walked out of the door after freshening up, he saw Wang Xuannian and Chun Zhi each walking in from the gate of the courtyard with a bowl of noodles.

Wang Xuannian raised his head slightly and asked Zhong Xuanlan, "Where to eat?" ”

"At the stone table."

The two sat down, Wang Xuannian put the two bowls of noodles in front of Zhong Xuanlan, pointed to the bowl at the end of the spring solstice and said, "This is made by my father." He pointed to another bowl and said with some embarrassment, "I made this bowl." ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded, took the chopsticks handed over by Wang Xuannian, and said, "Have you eaten?" ”

Wang Xuannian shook his head and said, "I'll eat it in a while, you can eat noodles quickly." ”

Zhong Xuanlan pushed the noodles made by Zhong Tinghao in front of Wang Xuannian and said, "Eat." ”

Wang Xuannian said: "This is the longevity noodles that my father made for you." ”

Zhong Xuanlan paused, this old man could actually think of making longevity noodles for her, it was rare, but he didn't eat the noodles made by Zhong Tinghao, and pushed the bowl to Wang Xuannian and said: "I don't believe this, my life is up to me." Eat it. ”

Wang Xuannian listened to Zhong Xuanlan's domineering words and nodded in a daze. I thought of Zhong Tinghao's words again, son-in-law, what kind of noodles do you like to eat, do you want to add eggs, do you want to put chopped green onions, do you want to put chili peppers...... It's noodles made to his taste. The father and daughter shook their heads slightly, picked up chopsticks and began to eat noodles.

Zhong Xuanlan stirred a few times and began to eat, frowning slightly, but still eating.

After the two finished using the noodles, Zhong Xuanlan put down his chopsticks and said, "Don't let that old man put things in the mess next time." ”

Wang Xuannian looked at Zhong Xuanlan in puzzlement, and Zhong Xuanlan said, "Mustard." With that, he got up and left Shuangxuan Courtyard.

Wang Xuannian thought about it, stared at the bowl of noodles and was stunned, and then thought of the bitter peach, and the corners of his mouth twitched, his family Lan'er could really bear it.

Zhong Xuanlan dealt with things in the study all morning, and at noon, the family had lunch before changing clothes and entering the palace for a banquet.

Wang Xuannian found that this palace banquet was more lively than the last time, there were more people coming, the palace gate was full of traffic, and the carriages of each family were gorgeous. At the moment they were stuck in the middle of the road.

Seeing this situation, Zhong Xuanlan frowned slightly, and ordered: "Hang the sign, take the middle way." ”

Wang Xuannian asked, "Why are so many people here?" ”

Seeing Zhong Xuanlan closing his eyes and resting on the winter solstice, he replied, "Son, we are late this time, and the two princes are going to marry wives, and the unmarried nobles of each family can participate in the banquet and select." ”

Wang Xuannian nodded.

"Get out of the way, quick, get out of the way. Ahead, get out of the way for me,......, hurry up and get out of the way of the county lord. ”

Wang Xuannian frowned slightly when he heard the arrogant words, and saw through the window that the red-clothed girl driving the carriage was holding a whip and waving it, about to hit a pair of masters and servants who were blocking the way in front of him, he was shocked and shouted, "Lan'er." ”

Zhong Xuanlan opened his eyes when he heard Wang Xuannian's panicked voice, and saw that the whip had just fallen on the girl in pale pink clothes, and a son came out to stop the reason with the woman in red, shook his head slightly, and hugged Wang Xuannian into his arms, Wang Xuannian blushed and struggled to go down, after all, there was still the winter solstice in the carriage.

Seeing this, Zhong Xuanlan leaned into his ear and said, "The winter solstice won't say anything." Well? ”

Wang Xuannian struggled a few times and didn't break free, seeing that Dong Solstice didn't look at them, and saw a figure again, so he didn't move again, but hugged Zhong Xuanlan's waist back.

Zhong Xuanlan looked at Wang Xuannian with some surprise, Wang Xuannian still blushed and raised his eyes to look at him.

Zhong Xuanlan looked at it for a while, didn't see anything, and said: "This kind of thing happened from time to time in Kyoto City just now, we can't control it, and we can't manage it, it will cause a commotion." Do you understand? ”

Wang Xuannian opened his clear eyes and asked, "Then let it happen?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan touched Wang Xuannian's head, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said lightly: "You see that although the woman in red is bullying, the woman in pale pink is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

"Huh?" Wang Xuannian looked up, only to see that everyone was talking, and the woman in light pink looked at each other with an aggrieved face, which attracted the sympathy of many people, making most of them blame the woman in red.

Wang Xuannian thought for a long time, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand something.

Zhong Xuanlan was indifferent to this kind of drama, and ordered: "Go." ”
