"My cousin and sister-in-law are really interested."
Because of this abrupt sentence, Chun Gui turned around and saw Tao Fanglin climbing the stairs.
She had no choice but to stand up to greet her, but before she could say hello, she was preempted by Lan Xin.
"What are you doing here?"
Miss Lanxin's heart has improved, but her temperament has not changed, and she will still choke when she sees someone who is not pleasing to her eyes, but after saying that, she realized that such a domineering attitude may make her brother angry again, and she glanced at Lan Ting with a little weakness.
Lan Ting just glanced at Tao, and then concentrated on still using his fingers that could directly admonish the king, pinched the brush and brushed the honey/juice on a deer leg.
"Second sister, are you afraid that I will grab meat from you to eat?" Tao Fanglin smiled and joked with Lan Xin, and also glanced at Lan Ting's expression, and sneered coldly in his heart: It seems that Zhao Lanting still doesn't like Zhao Lanxin's rudeness, so don't you suddenly put on a cold face? I heard that Zhao Lanting had already instructed the Gu family to discipline her sister, but in order to please Zhao Lanxin, the Gu family also blindly connived, and it was best for Zhao Lanxin to be more presumptuous, so that Zhao Lanting could be very happy to hold the Gu family accountable afterwards.
Then he went to Lalanxin's hand: "The second sister is okay, don't worry that I just caught up with a delicious meal, at most another day, I will also invite the second sister back, what the second sister wants to eat, I promise to do my best to meet it." โ
"Who is rare, please come back." Lan Xin couldn't help but choke Tao again.
Chungui saw through Tao's thoughts, but of course he wouldn't say anything, and smiled to appease the sister-in-law first: "Tao Cairen is joking about the second sister, where did she come to eat?" Only then did he look at Dow: "Is there something to discuss with me?" Let the maids run errands, in such a cold day, why should talented people come to Anping Yuan in person. โ
"I'm afraid that the slaves and maids won't be able to speak clearly, and it's even more difficult for me to work my cousin-in-law to go to the inner garden, so I came by myself...... That's the case, His Royal Highness is happy to have the eldest son, and the princess's mother and son are safe, which is a great blessing for the Zhou Palace, so I thought that I should set up a banquet to celebrate, but His Royal Highness had already told the internal affairs of the Wu Palace, and I had to ask my cousin's opinion first. โ
It's another word, but Chungui doesn't care about it at all, and says: "Now the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are busy collecting autumn grain, and they must be shipped to the capital in February to pay the payment, this is a big deal, and there can be no mistakes. โ
"These days, I haven't even seen His Highness, and today I heard that His Highness went outside again, so I thought about coming to discuss with my cousin first...... I didn't expect my eldest cousin to be there, why didn't my cousin go with His Highness? Does that cousin know where His Highness went? โ
"Where is Your Highness, the talented people shouldn't ask me, if Your Highness feels that it is necessary to inform the talented people, he will naturally explain first." Lan Ting didn't bother to look at Tao Clan.
Lan Xin laughed out loud: "My cousin is just a talented person, so His Royal Highness King Zhou feels that there is no need to tell his cousin his whereabouts. โ
Lan Ting still didn't look sideways, and only shouted to Lan Xin: "Second sister, don't care about these idle things, come here, I'll teach you how to roast this deer leg to get into the flavor, you don't have to do it yourself in the future, but keep an eye on the people to roast it in this way, even if you are far away from us, you can still eat the taste of home." โ
Said that Lan Xin felt sour: It was easy to win my brother's understanding, but I couldn't stay at home for a long time, although I was happy with Zhou Lang, I never regretted my original decision, after all, I was not willing to be separated from my brother.
Lan Ting could see that Lan Xin was a little bored
Sullen, he smiled at her: "The girl is older, she always has to go out of the cabinet to marry, and my brother is also glad that the second sister can get the best of luck, rest assured, Jie Xu will have a career in the future, and when he is admitted to the Jinshi and enters Hanlin, he will be in the capital for at least three years, at that time the second sister will live at home if she wants to live at home, but she is unwilling, and it is very convenient when she wants to go home to visit her family." โ
Seeing that the happy scene of a family of three was not only not destroyed, but also seemed to be even more happy, Tao Fanglin could hardly hold back the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "I listened to my cousin-in-law, so I won't talk about the banquet, and it will not be too late to return to the capital palace in the future to celebrate, but the good news is that I didn't miss this trip today, and I caught up with a delicious meal." โ
Of course, Chungui didn't want to stay with Tao Fanglin to share the deliciousness, but everyone was cheeky and repeatedly expressed that she wanted to rub the rice, she couldn't be cheeky to refuse, and was muttering, so she heard Lan Ting say: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate, Tao Cairen is now a clan woman after all, and His Royal Highness is not in Anping Yuan today, please forgive Zhao as a foreign minister, and he has to avoid suspicion and refuse." โ
Chun Hui immediately answered: "It's really inconvenient today, and when my grandson is not in Anping Yuan another day, I will definitely invite a talented person." โ
Tao Fanglin turned around to say goodbye in shame and annoyance, and before he stepped out of the threshold, he heard Zhao Lanxin's cheerful laughter, although Lanxin didn't say anything ridiculous, but in Tao Fanglin's opinion, she was laughing at herself, her face became more and more pale, and she was so angry that she couldn't swallow it, regardless of the fact that when she walked back to Ji Zeyuan, the twilight was approaching and shrouded, and she actually ordered Shujuan: "Go and inquire clearly, where did Your Highness go!" โ
His Royal Highness King Zhou has often gone to the Zuisheng Hall these days.
This day too.
First, he was depressed and really needed to be relieved, and secondly, he wanted to make sure that Chungui was suspecting who Hua Xiaoji's accomplice was, and he didn't come to the Zuisheng Pavilion to look for flowers and ask willows, but the news reached Tao Fanglin's ears, and he believed that King Zhou was looking for flowers and asking willows.
But she wasn't angry, just anxious.
"You must bring the message to Your Highness today, saying that I have something important to discuss with Your Highness, please Your Highness must come to Jize Courtyard."
Shujuan got another "difficult" task.
When Tao Fanglin was alone, he pondered and analyzed again: His Royal Highness often liked to go to the brothel of the Qinglou before his wedding, but since the official unveiling of the competition for the storage position, His Royal Highness has put all his thoughts on the overall situation, not to mention that His Royal Highness has a ...... for the Gu family With the thought that should not be raised, although the Gu family is watery Yang Hua, she is a real jealous woman, it stands to reason that His Royal Highness should not be ignorant of Gu's temperament, but at this time, His Royal Highness went to the Qinglou to seek pleasure...... Could it be because of the setbacks in Gu's that caused me to feel depressed?
Analyzing this, Tao Fanglin could hardly resist smashing the tea bowl in his hand to the ground to vent his anger.
Could it be that Gu Shi is really her nemesis?! It's just that Gu's shallow means of wanting to refuse and welcome back, King Zhou, who was trapped by love, didn't even find out! At this juncture, he went to the brothel of the Qinglou to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, and abandoned her in the inner courtyard of the Wu Palace! Gu Chungui will not be anxious, because she still has Zhao Lanting, a fool, as a way back, that is, she will not be favored by King Zhou wholeheartedly, and she will still be able to be prosperous and rich in the future as the patriarch of Xuan Zhutang.
But I can't wait!
Everything is still going well, His Royal Highness has been nine out of ten as sure as a certainty, will not stay in Jiangnan for a long time, seeing that after the beginning of spring, he will be edicted to return to Beijing as the crown prince, I must win the favor of His Royal Highness when I am in Jiangnan, the most important thing is to get pregnant! Only in this way can I have the capital to compete with Dong Mingzhu, I can't indulge His Highness to continue to be depressed, and I don't go back to the back garden to run to Qing
Walk away from the brothel!
King Zhou didn't know Tao Fanglin's thoughts, but he didn't embarrass Shujuan, and promised that he would go back to Ji Zeyuan for dinner this night.
When Tao Fanglin heard the news, he immediately became beaming.
On this day, the dinner of Ji Zeyuan is - roasted pork.
But Tao Fanglin doesn't know the "skill" of barbecue, so the servants are busy.
King Zhou frowned: "What are you doing with these tricks?" Obviously, there is a ready-made diet in the kitchen. โ
"The concubine went to Anping Courtyard yesterday, and saw that Gu Yiren was eating roasted meat, which made people greedy just by looking at it, so I followed suit tonight, knowing that His Royal Highness has been working hard recently, but I also have to pay attention to the combination of work and rest, even Deputy Envoy Zhao deliberately returned to Anping Courtyard early yesterday to drink and have fun with his family."
Seeing that King Zhou's expression was really even more depressed after hearing this, Tao Fanglin hurriedly finished the prepared words: "As soon as the concubine stepped into the Anping Courtyard, she saw Gu Yiren and Zhao Er Girl talking and laughing, but Deputy Envoy Zhao was busy roasting and roasting meat on the side, this scene has already surprised the concubine!" You must know that Deputy Envoy Zhao used to complain that the old lady of the Taishi Mansion spoiled Zhao Lanxin excessively, and he never pretended to be strict with his sister-in-law, but when he saw Zhao Lanxin yesterday that he knew how to respect his eldest sister-in-law, Deputy Envoy Zhao changed his normal state, that is, when he heard that Zhao Lanxin was still contradicting the concubine, Deputy Envoy Zhao didn't think so.
The concubine looked at it, in order to please Gu Yiren, Deputy Envoy Zhao was afraid that his son would be able to give up even the criteria that he had always adhered to, even if Gu Yiren was afraid that because of the accident that happened to Duke Li's father and son, he might complain about Deputy Envoy Zhao, and he was afraid that this complaint would not last long. Speaking of which, what kind of temperament did Vice Envoy Zhao have in the past? He was almost cold to people, not looking at how he treated his grandmother, but only how he treated his maternal grandfather and maternal cousins.
Everyone in the world said that Deputy Envoy Zhao and Gu Yiren were in harmony, which was a match made in heaven, but the concubine never thought so. โ
"Oh? So what do you think? โ
Tao Fanglin finally waited for King Zhou's response after a long speech, she couldn't be called happy, she only endured jealousy and secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, and continued: "Although the concubine is stupid, she still knows that Gu Yiren has a certain temperament, which is diametrically opposed to Vice Envoy Zhao, and it is not a good match, and the two are indeed blind marriages and dumb marriages, and they still follow the words of their parents' orders. โ
Therefore, King Zhou is not without a chance to win Gu Chungui's heart, and if he loses, he will lose when he gets acquainted with each other, but anyone with a discerning eye can understand that King Zhou can promise more glory and wealth than Zhao Lanting, how can a shrewd person like Gu Chungui not be tempted?
But Tao Fanglin also knew that King Zhou was trapped by love at this time, and he couldn't listen to Gu's half of the words, so he needed to weigh his words even more carefully.
"How do you know that after the marriage of Deputy Envoy Zhao, because he was fascinated by Gu Yiren's appearance, he would change his temperament and cater to him, and do everything he could to be considerate and protective, don't say that Gu Yiren is changing, no matter any woman in the world, I am afraid that I will be glad to have this good couple, but after being fascinated for a while, the rest of my life will be long, and the true temperament will always be exposed one day, Deputy Envoy Zhao will no longer follow everything smoothly, and Gu Yiren will eventually be disappointed. But by that time, maybe Gu Yiren has already had children, and women are like this, as they grow older, they understand that the world is helpless, how many people will still be obsessed with and admire, and their minds will gradually be transferred to their children, as long as the children are well, how many grievances and unwillingness can be endured. โ
Now is not the time to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, if King Zhou has not given up on the Gu family, he must seize the opportunity!
