Chapter 8: Going to see the old lady?
The marriage date of the prince and Su Jinse has been set, even if she tries her best after a week, she will not be able to recover, and after a few days of jumping, it will stop.
Zhao Zhixun handed over the drawn list of officials to Zhou Fulin, "This is the list of tax officials from all over the country, and if you want to do a good job in collecting taxes, you need to have a good relationship with them." It's just that there are a few of the henchmen of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it may be difficult to deal with them, should the second prince bring a helper on this trip? ”
"Does the prince have a candidate?"
With the help of Zhao Zhixun, Zhou Fulin won this fat difference, and naturally listened to him for everything at this moment.
"The fourth prince has reached the crown, and there is a blank on the merit book, among his crony courtiers, many officials have status in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he can help the second prince." Zhao Zhixun said unhurriedly, his ink eyes sparkling.
"Bac Ninh?"
Zhou Fulin frowned, obviously not wanting him to share the credit.
"The second prince should not forget that His Majesty values brothers and sisters." Zhao Zhixun squinted slightly and mentioned him.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Fulin nodded.
In this trip, Chu Wunian could see that Zhao Zhixun was joining forces with Zhou Fulin to pull His Royal Highness the Crown Prince off the horse, and the Pearl of the East China Sea that His Majesty received after the birthday banquet that day must have been given by him.
No, this will come out of Zhou Fulin's mansion, and there are a few more boxes in her hands, which are filled with precious Shu brocade from Sichuan and Chongqing, and there are only a few horses a year, all in Zhao Zhixun.
"The prince is so blatantly accepting a red gift, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will blame him?" Carrying those boxes into the carriage, Chu Wunian rubbed his hands and asked him resentfully.
Zhao Zhixun sneered: "Master put the knife on their necks? ”
"Then you can take the things to the household department and let them take them to help the victims." Chu Wunian muttered quietly, and the sighing face behind the colorful screen of the peaks appeared in front of him.
"You are a slave girl in the Hidden Court, do you know the household?" Zhao Zhixun lowered his eyes, and his scorching eyes were less than a foot away from her.
Chu Wunian was silent and bit his lower lip, "When I used to wipe the bluestone bricks on the corridor of the palace, I heard a few words from the courtiers passing by, and I remembered it. ”
"If you have the time to think about this, you might as well think about how to deal with the old lady for a while." Zhao Zhixun snorted twice, he was going to give those few Shu brocades to the Xiao family.
"You're going to see the old lady?"
Chu Wunian immediately stopped muttering, Mama Wang had instructed her to avoid the people on the old lady's side in the future. Not long after she hugged Zhao Zhixun's big tree, she didn't want to be thrown out of the prince's mansion.
Zhao Zhixun looked calm and relaxed, completely ignoring her anxiety.
Half an hour later, Chu Wunian followed behind Zhao Zhixun with a few boxes, stepped into the door of Shou'an Hall, and a burst of begonia flowers rushed to his face, fragrant and fragrant.
The yard is full of begonias, flowers and leaves, as far as the eye can see, there are pieces of bamboo forests, the bamboo curtains on the cloister fell, and a gentle voice came from behind: "But Xun'er is here?" ”
Mama Cui walked up to her and said with a smile, "Old lady, it's the son who is here." ”
"Mother."
Zhao Zhixun walked into the house, squatted down in front of her, and asked her to stroke her forehead.
Chu Wunian stood on the porch, and saw Xiao Shi sitting in a wheelchair, although he smiled kindly, Chu Wunian always felt that his heart palpitations were terrible.
"You're the new squire?"
After a while, Xiao's eyes fell on her, and her face, which was still kind, turned cold.
"Yes, this is the Shu brocade that the prince took to honor the old lady." Chu Wunian bowed his head and handed the box in his hand to Mama Cui.
"It's really white and tender." Xiao Shi looked at her, and the little man in Chang'an City was also as powdery and red-lipped as he was in front of him.
Zhao Zhixun raised his head and opened his lips and said, "Mother, he is a slave of the Hidden Court, and he killed ten evil wolves with the power of one person in the hunting ground. ”
Although it was an ordinary word, he clearly told her two messages: he was born from a low background and had infinite strength.
At this time, Xiao Shi put his mind at ease.
Cui's eyebrows also lowered, and she put her hand behind her back and waved it.
Chu Wunian heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind her, and she stood with her hands folded without looking back.
Xiao Shi retracted his eyes, and said bitterly: "Your relationship with Yin'er should be settled as soon as possible." ”
Zhao Zhixun has reached the age of starting a family, and the Xiao family has been talking about this marriage for several years, so he is afraid of missing a good girl like Lin Chuyin.
How many high-ranking ladies in Chang'an City have broken through the threshold of the Prince's Mansion, but the Xiao family only likes Lin Chuyin in the Dingguo Mansion, although she is a little squeamish, but the ladies from big families, who are not squeamish, are mainly pure in mind and love by the elders.
"Okay."
Zhao Zhixun responded in a deep voice, with a smile in his dark eyes.
Chu Wunian really didn't think that Lin Chuyin was any good, she was delicate, and she could make her cry with a word. However, he was born in the Dingguo Mansion, but he was right with Zhao Zhixun.
Walking out of the moon gate, she suddenly felt that the flowers in this yard were not as fragrant as Fangcai, and she trotted to keep up with Zhao Zhixun's pace, for fear of being caught back by the Xiao family.
Hearing the small broken steps behind, Zhao Zhixun paused, and the person behind him suddenly bumped into him, with a muffled "bang".
Chu Wunian let out a "snort" and rubbed his nose.
Zhao Zhixun chuckled and looked at her cowardly, "Aren't you quite majestic in the hunting ground?" ”
"That's different, the human heart is more terrible than the wolf." Chu Wunian blinked and let out a nasal sound.
Hearing this, the smile of the person in front of him disappeared, and his handsome face suddenly became colorful.
"However, the old lady is kind-hearted, there is no trouble in finding the slave and maid, and the prince even spoke to save him, and the slave and maid's gratitude to the prince is more prosperous than before."
Chu Wunian's eyes rolled around, and he blurted out some affectionate words.
"Huh!" Zhao Zhixun sneered, this ability to tell lies is not less practiced, he took a step closer to her, "Then do you want to repay the favor?" ”
"Naturally!"
Chu Wunian agreed without hesitation.
"That's good."
Zhao Zhixun clicked on the small mole on the tip of her nose, and her shining ink eyes were full of calculation.
There was a burst of geraniums left on the tip of his nose, Chu Wunian stiffened for a moment, and immediately took small steps to catch up.
