Xiao Huai'an's mind was full of thoughts, but he hadn't forgotten to remind Su Jiao, "Didn't you say before that eating late at night is not good for your health, if you don't eat at this time, it will be gone for a while." ”

"I don't want to eat, do you know how annoying those noble ladies are, they look noble and elegant, but they talk behind their backs, and I have to face so many people at the same time, I have to feel that my head is not enough."

Su Jiao sighed and picked up the chopsticks.

"But if you deal with them well, it will be of great benefit to you and me in the future, even if you accidentally say the wrong thing, there will still be me." Xiao Huai'an put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, and then a maid brought him a cup of mouthwash tea.

"That's true, but you don't have to be in such a hurry, isn't it just to repair a house and buy some materials." Su Jiao's chopsticks didn't move, so she watched Xiao Huai'an finish the tea and walked to the door to admire the moon.

"I heard my mother talk about it before, saying that the courtyard where Su Lian lived leaked for a while, and the third prince also found Nanmu and renovated it for her, how could he find it. Don't worry, there are still a few days left, so we won't be as good as him. ”

"In other words, there are still places selling nanmu." Hearing this, Xiao Huai'an turned his head with some joy.

"It's natural, and the news I hear can be fake." Su Jiao patted her chest proudly, and saw Xiao Huai'an turn around with a slight smile in her eyes.

"That's good news."

The next day, according to the information investigated by Liang Xin, Xiao Huai'an shuttled through several famous building materials markets in the suburbs of Beijing, but several places were empty this morning, so he had to rest first, return to the capital for lunch, and then coincidentally met Xu Rulie in the market.

"Huh? A smell of wood, why hasn't Lord Xiao seen him for many days, and is he obsessed with carpentry? As soon as Xu Rulie saw Xiao Huai'an, he wanted to turn a blind eye and walk away, but he was inadvertently attracted by the smell on his body.

When Xiao Huai'an heard this, he immediately remembered what Su Jiao said last night, "I've seen the three princes, this official has been busy searching for a column for the Ministry of Industry that can make a house beam for the guest house, I don't know what the three princes are busy with recently?" ”

"This is unusual, Lord Xiao is afraid that it is the first time that I have taken the initiative to talk to His Royal Highness." Xu Rulie sighed strangely, his eyes rolled, but he didn't shut up and didn't answer.

"His Royal Highness wants to search for a gift for his father to show filial piety, but most of the things in this bazaar are mundane, I'm afraid that my father is tired of seeing it, Lord Xiao is well-informed, and he often walks around the capital, can you have any suggestions."

"If you can share your Majesty's worries, this official should help you, but this official also has something to do, and he needs to discuss it with His Highness."

When Xiao Huai'an's voice landed, Xu Rulie had an expression that was really like this, and nodded with a smile, "Heh, His Royal Highness knows that you have something to do." ”

"But I want to know from His Highness where the market of Nanmu is?"

Xu Rulie said, clasped his elbows with his hands, and watched the sun getting stronger and stronger at this time, so he walked into the tea stall next to him with Xiao Huai'an to rest for a while.

"Exactly." Xiao Huai'an didn't hide it.

"Okay, let's exchange news with each other for mutual benefit."

Xu Rulie smiled lightly, he really woke up lightly except for Su Lian's matter. The place given by Xiao Huai'an is very good, although it was quietly set up by the people behind the back of the government, but after such a long time, everyone acquiesced.

In addition to the common gold and jade, there are also many animal skins and bones that were forbidden to be hunted by the imperial court.

But fortunately, not many people dare to buy these fur products, so they are placed here, waiting for those who like to collect to come and feast their eyes.

Xu Rulie naturally didn't dare to take these things that were precious, but actually offended the emperor's scales, so he looked around and chose a falcon with the most domineering demeanor.

This is a falcon made of gold, and the fluff on each feather is also carved to lifelike, just with this craftsmanship, I am afraid that even if the imperial court announces it, there are few people in it who can do it to this extent.

Xu Rulie was overjoyed and asked the falcon to wrap up, and in a blink of an eye, he skimmed to the fur stall on the other side.

There are not some precious animals on this stall, just some simple rabbit fur mink fur and bear fur wolf fur, among which the snow-white rabbit fur is particularly eye-catching in a pile of dull fur.

As soon as Xu Rulie saw it, he fell in love with the scarf made of rabbit fur, and he felt that this color was the most compatible with Su Lian, so he bought it without thinking about it.

In the Three Princes' Mansion, after Zhang Yuge was sent to the palace by the queen to take care of them, Su Lian and Xu Rulie were like fish in water here, and they were very happy.

In the afternoon, Su Lian sat in the pavilion in the garden, watching Qingyi feed the fish while embroidering, and on the embroidered surface, a snow-white jade rabbit nested under the osmanthus tree, looking lifelike.

"Li'er," Su Lian Dan smiled and watched the fish swim around, just when she saw Xu Rulie coming over from a distance with something in his hand.

"Although it's time for the weather to warm up, but the spring cold at night is still too hurtful, I happened to see a good quality scarf outside, so I bought it and gave it to you, you can see if you still like it."

"Your Highness doesn't actually have to break the bank, I have everything around me, and let Your Highness worry about me every day." Su Lian was overjoyed, frowned slightly and muttered a few words to Xu Rulie, and when she saw that the silk cloth scarf was uncovered, her eyes lit up.

"Oh, it's such a beautiful fur, Your Highness bothered. What kind of animal is this? ”

Xu Rulie smiled, and in a blink of an eye he saw the embroidery shed that Su Lian put aside, so he picked it up, "Let's just say that you and I have a heart, you happen to embroider rabbits, so I found a scarf made of rabbit fur for you." ”

"W-What?" Before Xu Rulie's words were finished, Su Lian's eyes suddenly turned inexplicably red, and he was so panicked that he didn't know what to say for a while, so he hurriedly asked someone to step back, and then helped her to the side and sat down.

"What's wrong with you, why are you crying again, but don't you like rabbit fur, then I'll change it for you another day."

Xu Rulie was anxious, and clumsily took the handkerchief handed by Qingyi to wipe her tears.

Su Lian shook her head, reached out and pulled Xu Rulie's hand down, and stroked the rabbit fur with great regret with the other hand.

"That's not the case, the concubine just feels distressed."

When the words landed, Xu Rulie raised his eyebrows, not very able to understand Su Lian's words.

Seeing this, Su Lian sighed softly, wiped away her tears, and reflected the light of the water below, illuminating her eyes like the soft light on the sparkling water.

"Your Highness, think about it, people in some places are good at rabbit meat, and these cute little rabbits, in addition to feeding people to satisfy their hunger, also have to give up their fur to make clothes, isn't this equivalent to sprinkling salt on people's wounds."

Before she finished her sentence, Su Lian's choked voice almost choked her to the point that she couldn't even speak.

The concubine just felt that the rabbits had a bad fate, and it was too miserable, so she felt it. It's not that you dislike Your Highness's mind, Your Highness don't go to your heart. ”

"Your mind is precious, and you are so simple and kind, how can this temple hold a grudge." Xu Rulie listened, only to feel extremely embarrassed in his heart, and gently hugged her shoulders and leaned on his chest.

"It's the temple that doesn't take care of your mind and makes you sad, if you don't feel happy in your heart, the temple will burn this thing to save you from being sad."

"It's just that His Highness has already bought it, and the wood has been completed, if it is burned directly, it will be a violent thing." Hearing this, Su Lian sighed lightly, supported herself, and came out of Xu Rulie's arms.

"In this case, Your Highness might as well make an agreement with the concubine to wear rabbit fur, and then the house will not eat rabbit meat anymore, which can be regarded as a little yin virtue we have made."

"Good. This temple promises you. Xu Rulie saw that her mood had improved a little, so she naturally had nothing to say.

Qingyi, who was standing on the side, was also accustomed to Su Lian's fraternity, turned her head and sprinkled the rest of the fish food into the pond.

On the other side, with the help of Xu Rulie, Xiao Huai'an really succeeded in finding Nanmu and bringing things to the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu immediately said that there would be no more problems.

Xiao Huai was overjoyed and turned back to the Ministry of Rites, Li Shangshu didn't expect him to do things so happily at all, so frightened that the booklet in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"Your Excellency." A little official with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks next to him found that Li Shangshu had stayed where he was since he heard the news of Xiao Huai'an coming from outside, so he took the initiative to pick up things for him, so that he could make a sycophant, but it only got him a resentful look.

"I want you to be nosy here, what useless waste you do, you can't worry about this official at all."

Li Shangshu came back to his senses, scolded him with his head and face, and finally no matter how unhappy he was, he had to pretend to be calm and go out to meet.

"Why did Lord Xiao come back so quickly, the matter on the Ministry of Industry was solved so quickly, Lord Xiao is really a pillar of the country." Li Shangshu had a smile on his face.

Fortunately, Xiao Huai'an usually gets along with people with this posture, so he doesn't have to lick his smiling face and interact with Li Shangshu with false affection.

"It will take a few days for the Ministry of Industry to renovate the guest house, but fortunately, Gu Shangshu is the most responsible person, and then said to the official that there is no problem, and the official came to inform Lord Li, and by the way, see how Lord Li is prepared."

Xiao Huai'an's words meant something, and the few people present naturally understood what he meant by this.

Li Shangshu didn't have time to care about the yin and yang weirdness of his makeup, and he almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth for Gu Shangshu's heart.

Gu Ting, this guy is inevitably too sincere, no matter how he says yes, he agrees, and he doesn't know how to wait a little longer.
