Chapter 137: Xu Family Qianzhuang
The two decided that the next goal was to go to Xujia Qianzhuang to find out the news, maybe there would be an unexpected gain, but the palace was busy these days, and the emperor had to summon the ministers for meetings from time to time, and the lady concubine was also very restless, she didn't know if she heard any rumors.
Concubine Shu sent the palace maids around her to Liangwangfu from time to time, ostensibly under the banner of sending some supplements, but in fact, she was listening to the news of Liangwangfu, even if she subconsciously didn't think that Zhuo Chen would make any waves, but after all, she was not at ease.
Xu Ying has also been staring at Zhuo Chen, unlike Concubine Shu, she just wants to meet her cousin, she is beautiful and better than Mo Shihuan, Mo Shihuan only married to Liangwangfu by virtue of her background in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she is Zhuo Chen's cousin.
Xu Ying took the black chicken soup that she had boiled for two hours, and was about to go to the study to give it to Zhuo Chen to drink, she felt that Mo Shihuan was sometimes very arrogant, and she didn't know what her daughter's intentions were, as long as she persevered, one day her cousin would see her good.
"Miss Ying, the prince is not in the study." Said the guard at the door of the study.
Their expressions were a little helpless, after all, this Xu Ying sent soup and water to the prince twice in three days, but the prince never drank a sip, so she couldn't have a little self-knowledge? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that their prince has affection for the princess.
"Cousin isn't there? Where did he go? Today is not the day he went to court, isn't he resting at home? Xu Ying was surprised, she frowned, and her heart was flustered.
"Miss Ying, Lord Wang, he occasionally felt a cold yesterday, and now he is resting in bed in the room, and he is not here to handle official business today." The guard said.
When Xu Ying heard this, she was anxious, and hurriedly turned around and went to Zhuo Chen's residence, but, like Fang Cai, she was stopped by someone before she could go in, this time it was Feiying who stopped her, Feiying was a big celebrity in front of Zhuo Chen, his henchman, Xu Ying didn't dare to make a mistake in front of him.
"I heard that my cousin was infected with a cold, so I came to see him." Xu Yingxiao's face was full of anxiety, but Feiying was a hard-hearted person, and he didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, so he said without oil and salt, "The princess is taking care of the prince, and the prince has orders, no one is allowed to enter without his permission." ”
"Am I not okay with me?" Xu Ying was very angry and a little sad, could it be that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get a trace of attention from her cousin? She was not even given the opportunity to visit.
"This is the chicken soup I made myself, you can take it to your cousin to drink, since he doesn't want to see me, then I won't go in." Xu Ying said sourly. Feiying was forced to take the bowl of chicken soup, and then while Xu Ying was far away, he looked around and drank it all, and threw the bowl away.
The wind chill is just an excuse, but it is used to prevaricate the people of the concubine and Xu Ying. At this time, Zhuo Chen had already taken Mo Shihuan to Xu's Qianzhuang secretly, both of them were actioners, once they decided, they would definitely not procrastinate, and it would be bad if they missed the opportunity.
The two rode horses all the way, dressed in disguise, and no one recognized them when they walked on the street. They wore hats on their heads and a long sword at their waists, looking like a pair of knights.
This is Mo Shihuan's proposal, she thinks this is very cool, originally she was worried that Zhuo Chen's body would not be able to stand it, but seeing that he had ridden the horse for so long, he still didn't panting, his body was straight, like a green pine, his breathing was even, and there were no beads of sweat on his white jade-like face.
"It seems that the medicine I gave you is very good, and you are not the same as before. Your physical fitness is about to catch up with mine, and my back hurts from the bumpy horse, oops. Mo Shihuan held his waist and screamed exaggeratedly.
Zhuo Chen smiled, his phoenix eyes were slightly raised, the tails of his eyes were handsome, and his always pale complexion became moist, "This is all the credit of Madame." ”
Mo Shihuan rolled his eyes, "Don't scream, the two of us are a contract couple at most, in fact, we are living together, don't forget our agreement, however, there have been differences between men and women since ancient times, and what the ancients said is really right!" No matter how sick you are, you're still a man. ”
Although Zhuo Chen couldn't fully understand Mo Shihuan's expression, after getting along for so long, he had already figured out her character, and probably understood the meaning, so he only said with a smile: "I think everyone is good in their own way, just like Mrs., you, smart and talented, are no worse than the men in my court." ”
"Just kidding! Am I no worse than they can describe? I'm obviously a hundred times stronger than them, a thousand times better! Mo Shihuan said excitedly, almost sliding off the horse.
Zhuo Chen felt funny, and the corners of his mouth didn't fall from beginning to end, "Okay, good, you're right, but Madame's face is also a hundred times thicker than that of the men in my court." After speaking, Zhuo Chen laughed a few times.
Mo Shihuan didn't care, waved her hand to show that she didn't care about him, she looked at the banner not far ahead, and pointed, "It's here, it's the Xu family's money village." ”
Zhuo Chen gradually retracted his expression, his eyes returned to calm and composed, nodded slightly, the two of them turned over and dismounted when they arrived, tied the horses and entered the house, "Two guest officers, do you want to save money or withdraw money." The shopkeeper asked with a smile behind the counter.
Mo Shihuan stepped forward and stared at the chubby shopkeeper and said. "Shopkeeper, I'm looking for you to inquire about something." The smile on the fat shopkeeper's face suddenly stiffened, and then showed a wary look.
"Shopkeeper, you don't need to be so jealous, I just want to ask, do you know some things about the Pei family, such as Pei Gu." Mo Shihuan looked directly at the opposite side, and when the fat shopkeeper heard the Pei family, his whole face changed.
"Pei family? Which is the Pei family? Guest officer, the little one has never heard of the Pei family, but the couple who sell tofu at the mouth of the alley not far away, the head of the family is surnamed Pei, could it be that you are looking for him? The fat shopkeeper looked suspicious.
Mo Shihuan held his forehead, and secretly glanced at Zhuo Chen with a headache, and Zhuo Chen spoke. "Haven't you heard of Pei's shopkeeper? I'm afraid this is unreasonable, unlikely. ”
The fat shopkeeper looked stunned again, and then said hesitantly, "Pei Gu, let the little one think about it, ah!" I remember, you are talking about the adult? ”
Mo Shihuan nodded, "Do you know that the Pei family has an heirloom jade pendant?" No, it's better to say that it is two jade pendants, but in fact, the two jade pendants are incomplete, they are all half, and together they are a complete jade pendant, it is said that they were left by Pei so to the eldest son Pei Yuanzhi and the younger son Pei Chengzhi. ”
The fat shopkeeper's body shuddered at an unseen angle. He raised his head suddenly, put down the abacus he was holding tightly in his hand, as if he had no interest or patience to listen to Mo Shihuan, and said, "It's the first time I've heard about Yu Pei. ”
