Chapter 87: The Princess
Not long after Qianshan went out, the dark horse rushed in again, this time much faster than the last time, like an arrow off the string.
"Boss, Princess! Princess! ”
Li Sangrou barely resisted the urge to slap the dark horse, crossed the black horse, and went out.
Princess Ning He was dressed as an ordinary noble woman, the light veil in front of the hat had been lifted to the back, and she was standing at the door of the Shunfeng Express Shop, looking around curiously.
"Is this the extremely tall pole that the second brother said? It's really high, I saw it as soon as I got out of Donghua Gate. Princess Ning and Princess Ning stood under the surprisingly tall pole, trying to look up.
"Second brother?" Li Sangrou asked in surprise.
"That's right, the second brother came to see it, and said that the door of your shop is small enough to be hung on the top of that pole." Before Princess Ning finished speaking, he started laughing, and at that time, the second brother also laughed non-stop while talking.
Princess Ning He glanced at the face of the shop, and then tried to look up at the pole, "It's really, that one is so small, this one is really high." ”
"Although the door of the shop is small, the back is spacious, and the scenery is good, let's go in and have a look?" Li Sangrou smiled and motioned to Princess Ning He.
Although her shop is small, there are a lot of things, and there are always cars parked in front of the door, and people come and go.
"Okay." Princess Ning and Princess smiled in response, walked forward to the door of the shop, first probed in, looked around curiously, and then carefully stepped on the threshold, stood in the shop, and looked at it carefully, before passing through the shop, standing in the courtyard with stables on both sides, and whispered, "Really, the door is so small, and the inside is so big, it's so fun." ”
"It doesn't smell good here, let's hurry over." Li Sangrou smiled and motioned to Princess Ning He.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of the smell of horses, I like horses and I like to ride horses." Ning and the princess said, took a step to the side, and reached out to touch a dwarf pack horse with a shiny black coat.
Li Sangrou looked at Princess Ning He with a smile, didn't say more, followed her steps, watched her walk all the way, looked at the horses, and slowly walked out of the yard.
"Zhihe said that you can see you from the southeast corner tower, and you can really see it.
The view here is very good, what is that piece? What kind of flower is that? It's quite elegant. Princess Ning He looked around and saw the vegetable patch in front of her from a distance.
"That piece is a vegetable field, that's the green cauliflower flowers, the green vegetables are old, they are blooming, and they are kept to collect the vegetable seeds. Have a seat. Li Sangrou picked a new chair and put it next to Princess Ning He, opened the furnace door and boiled water.
"It's really nice here, it's Dali Temple Prison over there? And where? "Princess Ning and look left and right.
"Over there is an empty warehouse that will be used as a prisoner, and I rented it from Mr. Wen, and it is also used as a warehouse."
While talking to Princess Ning He, Li Sangrou shook off a snow-white summer cloth, spread it on the white wooden table, then placed the teapot and teacups, and cut a cockscomb flower from the side of the vegetable field and inserted it into a small vase.
"It's so nice here, the view is nice and quiet." Princess Ning and Princess looked around, sat down, and looked at Li Sangrou, who was squatting next to the stove and listening to the sound of the copper kettle, from the tea table that Li Sangrou had just laid out.
"The second brother pays the most attention to water when drinking tea, he uses two boiling water, do you use two boiling water?" Princess Ning He watched Li Sangrou lift the pot and concentrate on pouring water into the pot.
Princess Ning He leaned forward slightly, smelling the fragrance of tea stirred up by the boiling water, "This tea is really good, is it this year's spring tea?" Very fresh. ”
"This is last year's autumn tea, and this year's spring tea is still too expensive, so I'll drink it in a month." Li Sangrou was making tea while talking to Princess Ning He.
"Big brother said you are very rich, but you are still too expensive?" Ning and Princess laughed.
"It's not very rich, it's just a little bit of money.
Even if you have money, it will be too expensive, at this time to drink spring tea at this price, it is too cost-effective, and in another month, the price of spring tea will only be at most only one of the current tithes, and then drink it. Li Sangrou made tea, poured a cup, and pushed it in front of Princess Ning He.
"Well, yes, it's not worth it. You're so shrewd, the third brother said you know how to do business. When Princess Ning He talked about the third brother, she didn't know what to think of, and she was a little stunned.
"The third brother you are talking about, is it the son of the world?" Li Sangrou looked at Princess Ninghe, who was stunned, and asked deliberately.
"yes. The third brother is in the palace, growing up with my mother, when I was a child, there were four of us in the palace, and my mother said that we were four brothers and sisters, they were the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother, I was the little sister, and my father said the same.
Later, the third brother went back to Prince Rui's mansion and sealed the prince, I asked the eldest brother, whether to call the prince brother in the future, or the third brother, the eldest brother said that the third brother is the third brother, how can there be any brother.
I think it's too, how ugly it is for the prince to hear. Princess Ning and Princess Yan smiled.
"I always thought that the prince was older than your second brother, but I didn't expect him to be the youngest." Li Sangrou looked a little surprised.
"Of course, the third brother is the youngest, but in terms of age, the second brother is the same age as the third brother, but the second brother was born at the beginning of the year, and the third brother was born at the end of the year, but in fact, he is only half a year older." Princess Ning and Princess explained very carefully.
"Mr. Wen was also born in the first year, what about Fourth Master Wen? When was his birthday? Li Sangrou gossiped.
"Hmm." Hearing Li Sangrou talk about Wencheng, the smile on Princess Ninghe's face was slightly sluggish, "Zhihe is in August, August 16, and they are not even born." After a pause, Princess Ning He looked at Li Sangrou, "The third brother said, when Mr. Wen is born this year, is it your birthday to congratulate him?" ”
"Yes, it was lively in the middle of the night, and I bought all the fireworks I could find, and it was a mess." Li Sangrou said with a smile.
"Mr. Wen doesn't like to mess around." Princess Ning He looked at the teacup in front of her.
"I like it. I don't care if he likes it or not. Li Sangrou smiled and looked at Princess Ning He.
Princess Ning and Princess were choked.
"Mr. Wen is a person who is too considerate of others in everything, and is the most suitable for being a friend, and I like a friend like him very much." Li Sangrou continued.
"You're a bit of a bully." Princess Ning and Princess frowned, and after a moment, pursed her lips.
"He likes to think about other people, I like others to think about me, isn't it good, it's a good fit." Li Sangrou smiled and looked at Princess Ning He.
"Alas you!" Princess Ning He's brows frowned even tighter, and for a moment, she looked at Li Sangrou and said seriously: "You can't do this, others think about you, you have to think about others, otherwise it's not right." ”
Li Sangrou glanced at Princess Ninghe, who had a serious face, "What's wrong?" For example, the two of us, you like to invite people to dinner, I like people to invite me to dinner, that is, you invite me to dinner, so good, you like it, I like it. ”
"That's not it!" Princess Ning He was amused by Li Sangrou, "How can this be!" What has come of this?
People think about you and invite you to dinner, that's all good for you, right? Then you have to be good to others, you have to think about others, and you have to invite others to eat once or twice, otherwise, it's not right! ”
"Has Mr. Wen thought about you?" Li Sangrou smiled, looked at Princess Ning He and asked.
"Hmm."
Li Sangrou's words asked Princess Ning and Princess uncomfortable.
"Then you thought about him too?" Li Sangrou looked at Princess Ning He, and then asked with a smile.
"Hmm." The word Ning and Princess is far less affirmative than the one just now.
"And how did you think about him? What did you think about him? Li Sangrou then asked.
Princess Ning pursed her lips and didn't speak.
"It's just the two of us here, let's gossip casually, gossip that we forget when we say it.
You want to see Mr. Moon often, don't you? What about Mr. Wen? Do you want to see you often? Li Sangrou looked at Princess Ning He.
Princess Ning He's face was a little unsightly, and she pursed her lips tightly for a while before she reluctantly spoke, "I don't know." ”
"I think Mr. Wen was quite willing to see you, after all, you grew up together, and you are such a cute little sister, even like me, when I see you, I like it very much.
But as soon as you see Mr. Wen, you have to pounce on him and hold him, he must be so scared that he doesn't want to see you. Li Sangrou smiled.
"You!" Princess Ning He was pinned on by Li Sangrou, and her face turned red.
"Let's gossip, don't take it seriously, it's just the two of us anyway, and there are no outsiders.
Let's talk about something else, do you often go out of the palace? I see it's quite easy for you to get out of the palace, just come out if you want to? Li Sangrou diverted the topic.
"I want to come out, but I don't like to go out of the palace." Ning and the princess twisted their heads, a few twists.
Li Sangrou's sentence just now pounced on her and grabbed it, which made her a little hurt.
"Alas, I think you think Mr. Wen is good because you haven't seen outsiders, right? Since I was a child, in addition to your three elder brothers, you are Fourth Master Wen and Mr. Wen, and the two are ...... compared."
"It's not!" Princess Ning He interrupted Li Sangrou's words angrily, "Why do you think so?" ”
"You see, I'm an outsider who hasn't known you for a long time, and I think so, so why don't you think about it, why does everyone think so?" Li Sangrou leaned forward, looked at Princess Ning He, and said seriously.
"You!"
"Didn't you say you had to think about others? Then you think about it for others, why does everyone think so? Li Sangrou still looked serious.
Princess Ning and Princess pursed their lips tightly, and for a moment, twisted their heads.
"It's like eating, like your father, your eldest brother, second brother and third brother, since birth, you can eat whatever you want, and if you want to eat cucumbers in winter, you can still eat them.
If they say what they like to eat the most, for example, braised pork, everyone will definitely think that he just likes braised pork, and no one will think that he likes braised pork because he has only eaten braised pork, right?
Like the dark horse, when he was just able to eat meat, I made braised pork once, and he thought that the best thing in the world was braised pork, and he slapped the table and shouted: In the world, the braised pork made by the boss is the best!
I smacked him at the time and said to him: Wait until you eat all the mutton, beef, chicken, duck and fish, if you still think the braised pork is the best, then pat the table and say this.
Now, he has almost eaten it all over, and he still thinks the braised pork is the best, and I know that he really likes to eat braised pork. ”
Li Sangrou took a sip of tea and chatted idly.
"Are you trying to persuade me?" Princess Ning He looked at Li Sangrou with a little vigilance.
"Is this a persuasion? Doesn't count, right? If you think so, then forget it, I'm just going to take matters into account.
I also talked about the dark horse, he thought the braised pork was the most delicious at the time, I think it was because he had only eaten braised pork, so I took him to eat all kinds of delicious food, so that he knew that the braised pork was really not the best.
So far, although he hasn't eaten it again, he has eaten almost it, and he thinks that the grilled herring stewed mutton, braised pork knuckle, braised goose and duck soup, and spicy chicken are all delicious, but compared with braised pork, it is still a little worse.
Now, he patted the table again and said that he liked to eat braised pork the most, and that was to say, he really liked it.
You feel that way, right? ”
Li Sangrou looked at Princess Ning He.
"It's different." Ning and the princess are different, a little lacking in confidence.
Li Sangrou looked at her with a smile and didn't speak.
"It's not that I haven't seen it, but even if I do, I won't take a fancy to anyone!" Princess Ninghe looked at Li Sangrou.
"That's not right, it's like a dark horse, after eating a circle, it's the best braised pork, how good." Li Sangrou spread her hands and smiled.
"You person, how can you talk like this, how can there be such an analogy." Princess Ning He picked up the cup and lowered her head to sip tea.
Li Sangrou looked at her and sipped tea with a smile.
"How do you know that? I don't want to look at this, look at that, be embarrassed. Princess Ning pouted.
"I really don't understand this, or can you ask your third brother, or your eldest brother?" Li Sangrou suggested seriously.
She's a princess, she really doesn't understand this.
"Well, I'll ask Big Brother." Princess Ninghe lowered her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice.
……………………
When Jinmingchi was open and the city was full of excitement, the second line of Shunfeng Express, the Yangzhou line, and the line from Yangzhou to Wuwei, opened in a low-key manner with a stack of cheap posters.
A number of news newspapers and lace evening newspapers, before the letter business was rolled out, first spread to Beijing, Tokyo West and Lianghuai.
Gu Xi took a few letters and entered the Ming'an Palace.
"Look at this, the letters have come to me." Gu Xi handed the letter to Gu Jin.
Gu Jin took it, flipped through a few letters, and laughed, "If Shunfeng can reach the past, it is indeed a lot more convenient, and they write to you to seek benefits for the state capital."
But Miss Li is right, you have to come step by step, the expansion is too urgent, and something will happen.
Let Shouzhen write a few replies for you, don't offend people for Shunfeng, such a reply, Shouzhen is good at it, don't write it yourself. ”
"Well, the line to Taiyuan Mansion is said to be able to be properly laid out and opened before the summer, which is already very fast.
The two Huai and Jingxi Jingdong roads are now unimpeded, and then connected to the Taiyuan line, once the war starts, along this line and then west to east to transmit information, it will be very fast. ”
Gu Xi's mood looked quite good.
"Today, there are a few more excerpts to please establish the prince." Gu Jin put down the letter and looked at Gu Xidao.
"Is it staying in the middle again? I didn't see it, I didn't hear about it. Gu Xi frowned.
"Hmm."
"What does the emperor mean? The canonization ceremony of the prince of Nanliang has been completed, this prince should indeed be established, there is only the second child in the palace, and there is no one else, right? What the hell does he mean? Gu Xi was a little angry.
"The emperor's meaning is still the same sentence, start a family first and then start a business." Gu Jin smiled wryly.
"That's to hurry up and start a family, hurry up and settle the family affairs, hurry up and pick one, north of the river, let him choose, hurry up and pick one, can't you? What do you think? He's not too young! Gu Xi kept knocking on the armrest of the chair angrily.
"This family matter, the emperor has the emperor's thoughts, Shen Niangniang has Shen Niangniang's thoughts, and the Yongping Marquis Mansion also has its own ideas, and the second child is also an idea.
Alas, don't be impatient, it's not something you can do.
I didn't want to tell you, I don't like to see you pat on the arm of my chair.
Alas, you still have to know, you just need to know, don't worry about it, I have to do this. Gu Jin rubbed his eyebrows, looking very troubled.
"Hmm." Gu Xi hummed reluctantly.
"By the way, there's a good thing." Gu Jin looked at him and changed the subject. "Ah Yue came to tell me, I want to see what the young talents in this Jianle City are like, and ask me what I think."
"She wants to open it?" Gu Xi's two eyebrows were raised, and then he laughed, "This is really a good thing!" ”
She went to look for Miss Li, and I don't know what Miss Li told her, but when she came back from Miss Li, she came to me, and she said these few words.
Don't be too happy too early, Miss Li, who has always gone off the rails, who knows what she told Ah Yue.
But after talking for a while, Ah Yue can come back from her, and immediately come to me to say such things, and when I think about it, it's a little unrealistic. ”
"Miss Li is very cautious, I think it must be a good thing, what did you say?" Gu Xi happily patted the arm of the chair.
"I asked her to go out and walk around more, and from here until the end of the year, in Jianle City, there were one after another, and sometimes, several times a day.
The young talents of Jianle City are all at the cultural meeting. After a pause, Gu Jin looked at Gu Xi and said, "I'll let her go to Miss Li and let Miss Li accompany her."
I heard that Miss Li has often taken her brothers to the Wenhui recently? ”
Gu Xi laughed out loud when Gu Jin said a word, and nodded while laughing, "The two she often brings, one is called grasshopper, the other is called Datou, one is stupid and the other is stupid, squatting everywhere, squatting there, holding hands, staring from here to there, all of them are turning their heads without rolling their eyes, what a scene." ”
"There are stupid people around her, they are all a bunch of hearts.
You go to find Miss Li, don't be too formal, just talk about it and entrust Ah Yue with this matter.
Tell Miss Li that if she thinks something is inappropriate, she should stop it, and let her just take action. ”
"Good!" Gu Xi agreed extremely happily.
