No. 332 Once Upon a Time (5)

Concubine Pei was secretly so angry that she vomited blood, and she really wanted to knock her son's elm head. She glared at her son, and her tone was quite hateful.

"You have been sitting in the carriage honestly, and the curtain has been drawn tightly, who knows that your Zhenbei prince is sitting in it? Are they clairvoyants? ”

"......" Ye Li was speechless for a while, "Mother, I-"

"Okay, okay, people don't say anything, you are so particular. Okay, it's not early, the palace doesn't dare to keep you, hurry up and get out of the palace. Concubine Pei couldn't help but push the two into the carriage.

Mingzhu Ruyi is secretly funny.

The carriage finally started, and Grunt drove towards the palace without a hurry.

In the carriage, Ye Li sat upright, with his back straight and his eyes not squinting, looking like a statue at first glance.

Ye Mengmeng peeked at him. Actually, she was also a little nervous. Although this is not the two of them alone in the same room, after all, when she was in the forest that time, she was still the other Ye Mengmeng, and Yeli was also in a coma at that time. And now, both of them are sane and write differently.

Both were silent, neither of them spoke.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly jolted, and Ye Mengmeng tilted her body with an "oops" and fell headlong.

The night was quick to leave her eyes, and he reached out to stop her waist and hug her.

Ye Mengmeng sat up straight, brushed the hair on his forehead, and smiled gratefully at him, "Thank you......"

Yeli didn't let go of her, his deep eyes stared down at her, looking straight into her eyes.

Her heart beat a little faster inexplicably, and she murmured, "Wang...... Lord, you ......"

Her rosy lips opened and closed, and Yeli suddenly felt a little dry mouth, like a dying tree in the desert, and this woman was the clear spring that saved his life!

He slowly leaned down and kissed the lips.

……

The carriage drove slowly down the quiet street alone. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and on both sides of the street, some houses hung wind lanterns. There is also a string of bells under the wind lamp, and when the wind blows, the bells make a "jingling" melodious ringtone.

The carriage finally arrived at the gate of the house.

Yeli jumped out of the carriage first, and Ye Mengmeng also got out of the carriage behind him. Both of them looked a little unnatural.

Yeli wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, turned around and walked straight to the door.

Although Mingzhu Ruyi noticed that the master's expression was different, she didn't think much about it, and when she turned around, she saw that Niangniang was looking at the back of the prince.

"Mother?"

Ye Mengmeng came back to her senses and retracted her gaze.

Mingzhu looked at Niangniang carefully, and saw that Niangniang's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were like water, but her lips were extremely bright, as if she had been picked by something......

The two girls seemed to have guessed something, and gave each other a look, secretly happy in their hearts.

The girl's eyes made Ye Mengmeng even more embarrassed, her face was even redder, and she secretly scolded Ye Li in her heart, all of which were good things done by this stinky man. Don't start, don't dare to look at the girl again, and hurriedly said, "Go in!" ”

In the afternoon of the second day, Mingzhu happily entered the house and said with a smile: "Niangniang, the craftsman you are looking for has been found."

"Got it? It's true? Ye Mengmeng, who was napping on the stone couch under the shade of the tree, turned over and sat up, "Who did the business?" So efficient? ”

Ruyi pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course it's the prince, who has his speed?"

"Lord Wang?" Ye Mengmeng blinked in surprise, "Where did he find it?" I want craftsmen, not guards. ”

Mingzhu smiled: "Why don't you go and see it for yourself?"

"That's for sure, how do you know if these craftsmen are up to the mark?" Ye Mengmeng got up as she spoke, and hurriedly took the cloak and put it on her.

"Where are the craftsmen?"

"It's at the back door."

The three of them hurried to the back door.

As soon as she came to the back door, Ye Mengmeng was dumbfounded.

Didn't she say that there were only a hundred craftsmen? What's going on with this black man at the back door? There were at least two or three hundred people......

It was Chen Wu who was maintaining order, and when he saw Niangniang coming, he hurriedly came over to greet him.

"I've seen the mother. Niangniang, the prince instructed, let these craftsmen come to you to take a look at it first, leave the suitable ones, and send them away if they are not suitable. ”

Ye Mengmeng nodded and said, "Okay." The prince really has the ability, where did he go to find so many craftsmen? ”

"Niangniang doesn't know yet, right? There are dozens of workshops in the capital, and the subordinates and the prince visited at least more than 30 famous ones to find these. Niangniang, these people are more capable in the workshop, the prince said, I don't know what kind of workshop Niangniang needs, so I simply brought back all the people who can repair the house. ”

"......" Ye Mengmeng was stunned, "No wonder there are so many people, so let's let them all stand in a row, and I'll ask them one by one." ”

"Yes." Chen Wu answered, turned around and went to arrange.

Mingzhu brought a chair and asked the mother to sit on the chair.

The craftsmen stepped forward one by one, and Ye Mengmeng asked a simple question, but he just asked about his age, place of origin, what he did in the workshop, and how many years he had been doing it...... And so on and so forth.

Although it was a simple question, because there were nearly 300 people, Ye Mengmeng also asked for nearly an hour and a half before all of them were asked, and finally they had to be selected, and those who were too young, too old, and did not have much experience were removed, leaving only nearly 100 people aged 25 to 35 years old, experienced, down-to-earth and diligent.

With all that done and done, it's time for dinner.

In the end, Chen Wu took these craftsmen to the backyard to live temporarily, waiting for tomorrow's arrangement.

When eating dinner, Ye Mengmeng was planning about Zhuangzi's affairs in her heart, and she was a little absent-minded when eating, and she didn't notice that the position opposite was empty today.

It wasn't until she picked up the chopsticks that Mingzhu reminded: "Niangniang?"

Ye Mengmeng came back to her senses at this time, looked up and saw that the opposite side was empty, and suddenly said, "The prince has finished eating and left?"

Ruyi couldn't help but "pounced" and said with a smile: "Niangniang, the prince didn't come back for dinner tonight."

"Didn't come back?" Ye Mengmeng was stunned, and then smiled, "Look at my dizzy brain, where did he go, why didn't he come back for dinner?" ”

Mingzhu smiled: "The prince has a party tonight."

"Socializing? What socializing? Ye Mengmeng asked casually while eating.

"The specific slaves and maids are not clear, it seems that someone invited the prince to dine in Juxian Tower."

"Juxian Tower? Is it a restaurant? ”

"Yes."

"Will the prince get drunk?"

"Probably not, right?" Ruyi said, "The prince usually goes out to socialize and brings two chamberlains to follow, and they are very good at drinking." ”

"Oh, it turns out that there are people with alcohol, so I'm relieved."

Ye Mengmeng hurriedly finished eating and returned to the inner room, took out a few pieces of clean white paper, and smeared them with a brush.

Mingzhu Ruyi couldn't understand what she was drawing, so she just waited quietly beside her.
