Xiao He looked at Duan Heng and said, "What is the prince looking for?" ”

Duan Heng tilted his head, took the teacup brought by the next person, and said to Xiao Heyan, "You really believe me, the King of Chishui has also been gone for a while, Miss Liu's ......" He looked left and right for a while, and saw that everyone was waiting outside, before continuing: "Miss Liu's family is all right in my other garden, I was afraid that you would worry, so I came to tell you." ”

Xiao He Wan'er smiled, like a thousand flowers blooming, full of wonders, which made Duan Heng fascinated for a while.

"If I don't believe you, who else can I trust?"

It was these words that warmed Duan Heng's heart, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he replied: "Deqing said this, Heng will never frown on the sword mountain and under the sea of fire." ”

Xiao He's smile became even stronger, for a while, the wind passed through the ten thousand forests, the verdant swaying, the regret was the heaven and the earth, and the shock was the hearts of the people, Duan Heng looked at her infatuately, and thought to himself, this beauty is enough. Even if she doesn't change women's clothes in this life, this men's clothes are not interesting, and it is even more interesting in his eyes, and he is afraid that he will not be able to tolerate a second person anymore.

"What kind of nonsense is the prince talking about, why do I need to let you go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, at most we will cooperate in business, you will have to bother more."

When Duan Heng heard this, he smiled and said, "I have written to a friend, he will be able to go to the imperial capital in a few days, if this person comes, our horse farm plan will be half successful." ”

"Oh? It seems that he is a capable person, so tell me about it. Xiao He was a little curious.

Duan Heng sold a pass here, "When he comes, you can see it with your own eyes, and you will know." ”

Xiao He shook his head, but he didn't say anything to refute, so he had to say helplessly: "Then I'll wait for the prince to introduce me." ”

Duan Heng nodded, but he seemed to have something on his mind, and hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "Let's discuss with you, can you call me in the future?" ”

Xiao He raised his eyebrows, "Then how should I call it?" ”

"Call me by my name, everyone knows that I am King An, and everyone calls me the prince, but are you and I still as unfamiliar as outsiders? Do you still need that façade work? Duan Heng said sincerely.

"Okay, Duan Heng." Xiao He smiled and said, "You and I really don't need to be so polite, but in front of people, I'm afraid I still have to do some façade work." ”

"It's up to you." Duan Heng smiled contentedly.

Although they have known each other for a short time, Duan Heng has already decided in his heart that she is the person he wants in this life, no matter what identity she will show in the future, he has paid this heart and this will not swerving.

After drinking a cup of tea, Duan Heng remembered something again, and then told Xiao He that he planned to buy some boudoir furnishings for Liu Yingge and buy two maids. His garden had not been built for a long time, and there were few servants. It seems that Liu Yingge is afraid that she is going to live here, a year or two is not a short time, and the things are ready, which is also convenient for her daily life.

Xiao He thought this was a very good idea and had no opinion.

Duan Heng led to the following, "Then you can accompany me to choose." It seems that if you are familiar with the Liu sisters, you will definitely know her preferences. ”

Xiao He said first, and naturally he couldn't shirk this errand, so he had to respond.

"Without further ado, let's go now, and I'll have you a drink in the evening." Duan Heng was overjoyed when he saw that Xiao He agreed.

Duan Heng pulled her to get up, Xiao He stood up straight, and his knees really loosened a lot. What kind of jade paste does have the effect of invigorating blood and removing stasis, but it is still a little unfavorable to be dragged away by Duan Heng in a big stride.

Duan Heng immediately noticed that her figure was slower than before, so he turned his head and looked her up and down in confusion, "What's wrong?" Not feeling well? ”

Xiao He pondered for a while, tomorrow in the court, yesterday's ups and downs in the palace will definitely fall into his ears, I don't know what it will be like at that time, it is better to tell him first.

She then told Duan Heng about the causes and consequences of yesterday. Naturally, the detail that Mu Churan was taken to the Qianqing Palace was omitted, and Mu Churan had already ordered that the seven or eight close guards and eunuchs who saw this yesterday should be tight-lipped.

However, Xiao He no longer cares about her reputation in the palace, no matter how ugly it is, she can laugh at it and not hurt her a little.

Duan Heng's face was solemn, but the Queen Mother was his aunt after all, and he didn't want to criticize her behind his back, but when he heard that she had been kneeling in the imperial garden for more than two hours, he couldn't help frowning, "Then I still won't go today." Wait until your leg is healed......"

Xiao He waved his sleeves, "It's no big deal, it's just that you can't walk faster, and it's okay to go shopping on the street, it just happens to soothe your muscles and bones." ”

"Mo Xiaoqiang!" Duan Heng was still a little worried about her legs.

Xiao He glanced at him, "The man's skin trauma can't stand it, how can he get it." ”

Duan Heng laughed out loud, and he didn't expose her, he could only respond, "Yes, yes, then let's set off, go early and return early." ”

They first went to the West Market and entered a cultural entertainment store.

Xiao He was first attracted by the row of pen holders, so he stopped to take a closer look. The thickness and length of the pens here are different, and the materials and textures are also different. She took one in her hand, held it in her hand and tried it, but she took advantage of it.

As soon as the boss saw that a guest had arrived, he looked at the clothes on these two bodies, which were indeed extraordinary, especially Duan Heng's clothes were not something ordinary people could afford to wear. He immediately greeted him with a smile, and saw Xiao He holding this brush, so he hurriedly introduced: "This is the pen used by the poet Song Jiyue in the previous dynasty. Buy now, you can get a copy of Song Jiyue's poetry collection, I think this son is talented, if you get this pen, it is naturally like a tiger with wings, and the next pen is like a divine help. ”

Xiao He just took a casual look, but he heard the boss praise this brush that had been used for many years in the sky and not in the ground, and couldn't help laughing, this is a century-old wood, inlaid with gold patterns, and the price must be expensive. It's just writing, and you can write and draw when you pick up a branch on the ground. Why bother to break this wealth?

She handed the brush over and told her honestly, "I can't afford it." ”

As soon as the boss heard Xiao He's poor and sour tone, his face instantly collapsed into dust, and he simply turned to Duan Heng, "This son, I see that you have an extraordinary bearing, and it is very compatible with this one, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

Duan Heng probed Xiao He and asked, "If you like it, I'll buy it for you." ”

Xiao He walked to the inside, looked around casually, and responded: "Thank you for your kindness, but if you have that spare money, wouldn't it be better to keep it for our business?" Xiao He only said a word, and dispelled Duan Heng's desire to buy a pen.

When the two of them left the store, the boss saw them off with a sad face, and finally looked forward to the door, thinking that it was the God of Wealth, but he didn't expect it to be the God of Poverty.

They went to a furniture store again, and Xiao He liked to listen to the boss introduce his goods in detail, spitting and looking sincere, and using extremely exaggerated words, but he could still find a point or two of the original appearance.

This is also a long-term effort, just like the way of officials, how to pat the sycophants and shoot without wearing or partiality, and making the listener feel comfortable, is knowledge.

When you walk to the ready-to-wear store, next door is the Li Jiabu Village.

This Li family's business, and now the person in charge is Li Zhaonian, the cousin of Li Zhaoting, the head of the household department. Xiao He has also heard that this Li Zhaonian is not from the lineage, if it weren't for Li Zhaoting's unintentional management of the family business, I am afraid that the position of head will not be his turn.

The headquarters of the Li family is in Huizhou City, south of the imperial capital, and most of the weaving workshops are in Huizhou.

However, some time ago, I heard that Li Zhaoting sent the family back to Huizhou, and only a month ago secretly took his aunt back to the imperial capital. Originally, he did this thing in concealment, but he was stabbed out by Qi Zhengmin in the court. Da Yin has a law, Beijing officials are not allowed to leave Beijing without authorization during their term of office, this Li Zhaoting moved the whole family back to his hometown, although he barely did not touch the law, but it is difficult for people not to doubt his intentions.

It's also strange to say, after a month, Qi Zhengmin argued with people in Wanhualou and died.

If it weren't for Xiao He's great love for association, these few things would not have come together on the surface.

In addition, he also heard a lot of anecdotes about Li Zhaoting from Duan Heng, and Xiao He didn't have a good impression of this person. This person has been forming gangs and factions in the court, and has gradually become a big undercurrent. And Mu Churan didn't be ruthless against him, because he was afraid that his family's power was huge, which was enough to affect half of the country.

And what disgusted Xiao He the most was that he used the repair of the Langjiang River embankment to embezzle the project funds, and took the opportunity to frame Ji Changge, so that he was imprisoned and suffered from distribution.

Although Ji Changge is now bitter, there is always humiliation in it.

Just as Xiao He thought about it, he and Duan Heng had just come out of the shop, and they bumped into Ji Changge on the street, with a few entourages, all of whom were carrying large bags of things, as if they had just finished purchasing.

Xiao He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, don't talk about people during the day, and don't talk about ghosts at night.

"Brother Ji!" Duan Heng waved his hand first, and Ji Changge saw the two of them and greeted them.

Xiao He smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and made a gesture, "General Ji, it's polite!" ”

Ji Changge smiled heartily: "Brother Xiao, don't make fun of me, my general is just a false title." ”

Duan Heng stretched out his finger and pointed at so many of their carry-on packages, "Brother Ji, buying so many things, is there a happy event in the house?" ”

Ji Changge scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "The prince smiled, the old mother of the family will be in the imperial capital soon, this time I was given the house by the emperor, so I took my mother to live with me." ”

Xiao He has always admired the most filial person, not to mention that this person is Ji Changge, and he can't help but cast a little praise on him.

Duan Heng was even more direct, "Speaking of which, we haven't visited your new house yet." ”

Ji Changge said to the two of them: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, if the two of you are free today, it is better to return with me, wait for a banquet in my house, and don't get drunk with the brothers." ”

"Okay." Duan Heng and Xiao He said in unison.
