Chapter 197? Cho Miao-hye's new mission
Cheng Yue pretended to pretend and said: "Lilac is your cash cow now, it's not good for me to do this." ”
Shopkeeper Song said with a wry smile: "Governor Dadu, you don't know, in the past few days, at least a dozen nobles have openly and secretly mentioned to the little ones that they want to take the cloves away from here, if it weren't for your big name, maybe there would be someone who dared to take people away." The Metropolitan Governor is here today, and the little ones are relieved. The small one opened this rain lotus garden, and originally didn't want to make any big money. If you really want to make a lot of money, the small ones will have to worry. The Metropolitan Governor doesn't have to take care of the small ones, a stunning woman like Lilac Girl, only the Metropolitan Governor is worthy of it. ”
Cheng Yue heard him say this, looked at Lilac's eyes full of anticipation, and said ruthlessly: "Okay, since Lilac is willing to follow me, of course there is a place for her in my house." You clean up, I'm going to take Master Zhang to the construction site of Yaleju to have a look, and I'll come back to pick you up and go home with me later. ”
Lilac was so happy that she was blessed and blessed by Cheng Yue, glanced at him shyly and timidly, lowered her head and went out to pack her luggage.
Zhang Hui watched her shadow disappear outside the door, her eyes were red with envy, and she sighed: "The Governor of the Metropolitan is young and handsome, and he is naturally blessed with boundless blessings." However, the Metropolitan Governor still did not accept too many women into the room, the princess has not yet married, and the Metropolitan Governor must always leave some dignity for the Great Khan. ”
Cheng Yue smiled and nodded, and the two drank their tea and raised their arms. Cheng Yue talked with Shopkeeper Song for a while, learned about Lilac, and then went to Yaleju with Zhang Hui.
Cheng Yue explained to Zhang Hui the place and plan where he wanted to build a house, so that Zhang Hui could go back and report it. Zhang Hui couldn't fully figure out what kind of house Cheng Yue was talking about, but he did. It must be a house that has never been seen before. And there is also a twelve-story building. Makes him very excited. After returning home, as long as it is said that Cheng Yue specially built it to welcome the prince, Kublai Khan will be very happy, and this errand will be successfully completed.
After seeing the construction site, the two broke up, Zhang Hui was going to prepare to leave tomorrow, but Cheng Yue turned around and went to Zhonghua Bookstore to find Zhao Miaohui.
Zhao Miaohui had a busy day and was about to go home to take care of the children, when she saw Cheng Yue push the door in. Get busy fixing your hair.
Cheng Yue looked at her and said with a smile: "Mrs. Sister-in-law has been busy these days, right?" Are you going back? Wait a minute, I've got something to look for you. ”
Zhao Miaohui also smiled: "The governor of the capital came here, it must be a very important thing, and the concubine must obey orders." ”
Cheng Yue put away his smile and said, "I accepted a concubine today, named Lilac." Although I don't know if I guessed right or not, I always felt that this woman was strange, and it was probably sent by the Yuan Dynasty. ”
Zhao Miaohui was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "The Metropolitan Governor knew that she was sent by the Yuan Dynasty and still took her into the room. It must be an amazing beauty, right? ”
Cheng Yue touched his chin and nodded, "Yes." How else would you have been sent to me? ”
Zhao Miaohui said suspiciously: "Is there any reason why the Metropolitan Governor told the concubine about this?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "I have too many secrets there, and I can't let her come and go at will in the inner house, especially my study and bedroom, although there are special servants to guard it, it still makes me a little worried." So, I want her to come over and do things for you. The main thing is to keep an eye on her and not let her have a chance to enter my two places during the day. Although I have many concubines, only Dingniang and Su Rong can barely handle the complicated situation, and the others are still immature. Apart from them, you are the person I trust the most. How about it, dare to accept this lilac? ”
Zhao Miaohui bit her lip lightly and said, "If the Metropolitan Governor is embarrassed, he can turn her away, why bother?" ”
Cheng Yue shook his head and said, "I've thought about this, but it's definitely not going to work." This woman is dangerous, she is too beautiful, and she has been out there for a long time, and I don't know what she will do to make trouble for me. A man in this world can do anything for such a beauty. Second, I'm worried that the Yuan Dynasty won't succeed in one plan, and if I make another plan, it's better to pretend to be a plan and let them pin their hopes on her, so that I can better guard against it. The last point is that I want to use her as a test for the Mongolian princess who will marry in the future. When she entered my house, she treated me sincerely or pretended to be only for the Mongols, I must be sure. ”
Zhao Miaohui thought about it again and again, but she still had to admit that what Cheng Yue said was reasonable, and said, "What should the governor do if he wants to be a concubine?" ”
Cheng Yue said: "When you go back, go to my house first, tell Dingniang what I mean, and let her make some arrangements, she is a smart woman, and I don't need to explain it in detail." When Lilac comes to you to help, it will also give you more time to take care of Chun'a. But if anything happens to her, you have to tell me right away. ”
Zhao Miaohui blushed, and still said, "What about the Metropolitan Governor's bedroom?" She wants to sleep, can't she not be allowed to enter? ”
Cheng Yue said: "She just entered the door of my house, it is impossible to sleep immediately, and she has to wait for a while to prevent pregnancy and bloodline." The reason why Qian'er didn't wait so long before was because Ali Hague had been injured for almost two months at that time, of course there was no problem, but she couldn't, you have to tell Dingniang this rule, and let her explain it to Ding Xiang in private. I'll put all the important stuff in the study when I go back, and if I strengthen the defense there, it shouldn't be a big problem. Do you have any other suggestions? ”
Zhao Miaohui said with a smile: "In this way, doesn't the Metropolitan Governor always have to watch out for the pillow people?" ”
Cheng Yue sighed and said, "Why am I willing? There are so many things to deal with every day, and you have to guard against this woman when you go home. But I can't help myself! He smiled again: "This woman, although I don't know where she comes from, she must not be an ordinary person." Judging from her skills, posture and etiquette of advance and retreat, she is likely to be a woman owned by someone of high status in the Yuan Dynasty. I'm interested in who this person is. If it were me, I would not give her away to anyone else. ”
Zhao Miaohui smiled slightly and said, "Does the Metropolitan Governor have anything else?" The concubine is going to obey the orders and do things. ”
Cheng Yue said: "Okay, you go quickly, I'll pick up the cloves." Oh, also, this Lilac is not only one person, she also has four men, four women and eight entourages, I listened to the description of the shopkeeper Song, they should all be highly skilled, you also have to tell Ding Niang, let her be on guard. ”
Zhao Miaohui nodded, Cheng Yue smiled at her, and the person had already walked out of the door.
Zhao Miaohui immediately set off, went straight to Cheng Mansion, and explained the truth of the matter to Dingniang clearly. When Ding Niang heard this, she didn't dare to be careless, and immediately brought the principals of the inner and outer houses, Luo Shi, Song, Shi Xiu, Ding Yi, and more than a dozen powerful servants who guarded Cheng Yue's study in shifts, and instructed them several times one by one. Everyone also knew the seriousness of this matter, and they all took the order to arrange it with a solemn expression.
Cheng Yue rode a horse and unhurriedly came to Yuhe Garden to pick up Lilac and return home.
Shopkeeper Song prepared a carriage to park outside, but there was no one inside, only the four men, four women and eight attendants were guarding the side. When Cheng Yue saw them, he was secretly frightened, if these eight people were armed with weapons, they would definitely be worth fifty or sixty elite soldiers. If you attack yourself at the same time, you will definitely be defeated if you don't have a weapon in hand, and you will probably die at their hands.
The eight people looked at Cheng Yue with a strange look, they still had a simple expression on their faces, but their eyes were very vigilant and a little afraid, seeing that Cheng Yue noticed them, they squeezed out a little flattering smile.
As soon as Cheng Yue entered the door of Yuhe Garden, someone immediately caught him and brought him inside, and came to the back house, without waiting for Cheng Yue to go upstairs, he heard someone shouting above: "Lilac girl, don't go with that Cheng Yue, he has so many wives, how can he care about you?" Do you see that he accepted the eight concubines, didn't he let them continue to sing? Did he force you? Is it that he sees that you are both beautiful and artistic, and wants to pull you to his Yaleju to make money for him? If so, if you say to me, I will get justice for you! ”
As soon as Cheng Yue looked up, he saw Shopkeeper Song hurriedly coming down from upstairs to greet him. When he walked in front of him, without waiting for him to ask, the shopkeeper Song smiled bitterly and said: "Dadu Governor, you might as well take Lilac away directly just now, this is good, I heard that Lilac is also going to be included in the room by you, there are more than a dozen nobles who refuse to give up, and they ran to the small one to make trouble, and the small one can't afford to offend, so I look forward to the Dadu Governor coming quickly." ”
Cheng Yueqi said: "I heard someone say just now that they want to seek justice from me, who is so capable, do I know it?" ”
The shopkeeper Song said: "This person should know that he is Su Jingzhan, the eldest son of Lord Su Liu Yisu, I heard that Lord Su and Lord Su had a conflict in the court, don't be angry for a while, beat his son, and it will be difficult for the Governor and Lord Su to have a chance to reconcile." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "I know. But I don't have time to reconcile with this Su Liuyi slowly, I have to go to Dadu in the autumn to propose marriage to the Mongolian princess, and I must solve his trouble as soon as possible. I am worried that I can't let this hidden danger continue to stay behind. As he spoke, he patted the shopkeeper Song and said, "I am here, you go and get busy with you." ”
Shopkeeper Song heard Cheng Yue say so many secret things, of course he understood that Cheng Yue had regarded himself as a confidant, and Cheng Yue was protecting himself by letting him leave, so he happily retreated.
Cheng Yue walked up the steps, listened to the sound and walked to the door of Lilac, patted the door lightly and said, "Lilac, I'm here to pick you up, have you packed up?" ”
The sound in the room stopped abruptly, and then a string of soft footsteps was heard, and as soon as the door opened, Lilac's disgusted and happy face appeared in front of Cheng Yue.
Cheng Yue smiled at her, and Lilac also smiled shyly at him, and whispered: "Dadu Governor, the slave family has been cleaned up, but a few uninvited guests heard that the slave family was going to enter the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and they wanted the slave family to change their minds." The slave family was overwhelmed, but fortunately, the Metropolitan Governor came, and the slave family left with the Metropolitan Governor. After saying that, he turned around and went into the house to pick up the package. (To be continued......)
