In the flower hall, a maid from the county king's mansion entered and said to the princess of Yijun: "Princess, the prince of the county invites you to go to the study with Miss Zeng's family to talk." ”

Princess Yijun smiled at Cang'er and said, "Please also ask Miss Jin to sit here for a while, and Miss Zeng and I will come back later." ”

Hearing this, Cang Er got up and said with a smile: "The princess doesn't have to be polite, please take care of yourself." ”

Princess Yijun led Banniang through the west gate of the backyard and entered a cross-courtyard, and the maid guarding under the porch came forward and introduced the two into the house.

Chai 19 in the house, Lu 17, Di Yong was talking, seeing the princess and Banniang entering, Di Yong looked at Banniang, his eyes lit up, these days coincided with him on duty, when he returned from shift, it was already late at night, knowing that she had slept, but he still couldn't help but take a detour, go to where she lived, and stop outside the courtyard wall for a moment before he was willing to leave. Thinking of being separated by a wall from her, she was probably in a sweet dream at this time, although she didn't know such a wait, but she could stand there, imagining what it was like in her dream, but she couldn't help feeling satisfied in her heart.

I have been thinking about her for a few days, and today I finally saw her, and my heart was like finally having a place to put it.

Hiding the excitement in his heart, and the urge to hug her into his arms again, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

Banniang glanced at him with a smile, and when she saw that his eyes were burning, looking at herself, her face couldn't help but blush. I was afraid that Lu Seventeen's guy would look out for him, so he had to make fun of her when he went back, so he lowered his head to cover it up.

I heard Chai Nineteen smile and said, "Little Eighth Sister, you're here." ”

Banniang blessed her body and smiled and saluted.

Di Yong and Lu Qiqi also got up together and saluted Princess Yijun. Princess Yijun smiled: "You guys can talk here, and when lunch comes, I'll invite Miss Zeng again." ”

As he spoke, he gave Chai 19 a farewell salute and withdrew.

Chai Nineteen let Banniang sit down, and said with a smile: "Little Eighth Sister, today is for you to pick up the dust, if you have anything to eat, just tell me, I will tell someone to go to the kitchen, just make it for you." In the past, I ate you, and this time I also asked you to return your favor, and I specially borrowed a few imperial kitchens from the palace today. ”

Although he is the king of the county, as soon as he said this, Banniang felt that the handsome and smiling guy in front of him was still the guy who was thinking of finding his own house to fight the autumn breeze in the past, and couldn't help laughing: "I don't dare to be it, it is a blessing in my life to be able to eat the dishes made by the imperial kitchen, where do you dare to be picky." ”

Chai Shijiu said with a smile: "Actually, it's really the dishes in the imperial dining room in the palace, I also think it's normal, I think that your craftsmanship is the best, but it's a pity that you are a guest today, I don't dare to work you." In the past few days, I have been waiting for Lu Seventeen, this kid invited me to his house for a meal, but I waited left and right, this guy didn't speak, and he was stingy. No, I took the initiative to invite you here. I don't believe it, he ate me, and he was too embarrassed not to ask me back. ”

When Lu Qiqi heard this, he also laughed: "If the prince commands, how dare the lower officials, only the lower officials are not the long worms in your belly, and they don't dare to figure out the prince's thoughts, if the prince says that the lower officials are stingy, but he has wronged the lower officials." Now that the prince has opened his mouth, Xiaguan Ming'er will post a post to the prince, and the lower officials can afford to invite themselves for a meal. It's just our little eighth sister, whether she is willing to enter the kitchen or not, the official can't guarantee it. ”

As he spoke, he turned his face to Di Yong, who was looking at Banniang in a trance, and said, "Di Erlang, when the time comes, go to the contemptible house with the prince?" ”

Di Yong smiled and responded: "I'm afraid that the prince is afraid that I will rob him of his food, and he is unwilling to take me with him." ”

Chai Shijiu remembered that he had snatched the snacks that Banniang gave Di Yong twice, and couldn't help laughing.

The years are ruthless, I just thought that I had wasted each other, but at this moment, I found that a few years have passed, and there are some things, but they have not changed.

Banniang said with a smile: "In the future, there will be a place where the prince will take care of it, just a meal, and then Banniang will definitely do her best to make a satisfying meal for the prince to eat." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Di Yong: "Second Brother Di, can you go with you?" ”

Chai Shijiu patted Di Yong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Go, why don't you go?" ”

Lu Qiqi looked at Di Yong and said with a pointful smile: "I'm just afraid that Di Erlang won't dare to go." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Chai Nineteen glanced at Lu Seventeen and asked with a smile.

Lu Qiqi looked at Di Yong, waiting for Di Yong to speak.

Di Yong glanced at Banniang, who was lowering her head, and then met Lu Qiqi's gaze, and said with a slight smile: "It's the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire, and I can go too." ”

Lu Qiqi high-fived and smiled: "That's good." ”

Chai Shijiu glanced at the two of them, and his eyes fell on Banniang, who was pretending to be stupid, with a thoughtful expression.

After a few people talked for a while, Chai Shijiu said to Di Yong: "Ah Yong, you accompany the little eighth sister out for a walk, I have something to say to Seventeen Lang, remember, help me entertain the eighth sister." ”

Di Yong's heart was overjoyed.

I thought that it would be impossible to have the opportunity to be alone with Banniang today, so I looked at Banniang.

Banniang got up.

Di Yong smiled and invited Banniang out of the house: "I'll take you to a good place." ”

In the house, Chai Shijiu smiled and said to Lu Shiqi: "I heard that my cousin, King Minjun, is very interested in your friend Li Yong. ”

The one who should come will always come, Lu Qiqi replied calmly: "Yes, I also received an invitation from King Minjun a few days ago, but because I have been busy dealing with the backlog of official duties these days, I did not go to the appointment. ”

Chai Nineteen nodded, looked at Lu Seventeen, and said in a deep voice, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I opened two workshops in Beijing, and all the profits were used for the experimental expenses of the experimental field of the Division of Nong."

In this way, whether it is Chai Nineteen or King Minjun, on the surface, they will not get any benefits from Lu Seventeen.

Chai Nineteen glanced at Lu Seventeen sharply, and said with a smile: "Seventeen Lang, everyone in Beijing knows that you and I are good friends." Sometimes it's not what you think in your heart that others think. ”

"The king of the county is suave, and the lower officials are famous for liking pleasures, the so-called interests are the same, and they are both young people, and they know each other closely, so why not?"

Lu Qiqi smiled idly.

It's just that friends of wine and meat smell like each other.

Chai Nineteen nodded: "That makes sense." ”

Although Lu Qiqi didn't say anything, he expressed his attitude. He and him are friends of wine and meat, but King Minjun is known as a virtuous king in Beijing, so he and King Minjun are really different-minded, so naturally there is nothing to say and nothing to discuss.

No matter what happened to Lu Qiqi, would he end up being his own person, at least he wouldn't help King Minjun.

King Minjun took a fancy to Lu Seventeen's wealth.

And he wasn't.

If others only think that this kid is really just a petty official of the Si Nong Division, then he can only say that the person is too stupid.

The Great Song Dynasty took agriculture as the foundation of the country, and from ancient times to the present, no Ming emperor would not attach importance to agriculture that was related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Don't look at Lu Qiqi's current official position is only an eight-rank petty official, but in the eyes of his imperial uncle, although his status is far inferior to that of the two prefectures, he is far more than an ordinary important minister in the court.

Lu Qiqi's operation in the past few years has increased the agricultural output of almost the entire east and west roads by half, so popularized, if the entire Great Song Kingdom can be like this, imagine what the national strength will be at that time?

For Lu Seventeen, the promotion is just a matter of time.

What he fancied was Lu Qiqi's status in the heart of the Heavenly Family. If such a person can finally be used for himself, he will definitely help him in the future.

And he has been with Lu Qiqi for a few years, and found that this kid is not only unmatched in agricultural affairs, but also has first-class political vision and insight. It's not what he looks like. It's a pity that this kid is too slippery, and he has spent a few years, and there is no way to make him use it.

Thinking of this, Chai Shijiu changed the topic with a smile: "I just saw you and Ah Yong fighting Jifeng, what's the matter, you two?" ”

Lu Qiqi smiled: "The prince must have seen it wrong." ”

Chai Shijiu gave him a blank look: "Don't hide it from me, you, I may not be able to see through it, just Di Yong's kid, I can't see through it?" I didn't pay attention to his thoughts, but I just paid them back. Now, if I can't see it anymore, it's in vain that I've been friends with him for many years. Tell me, what do you think? ”

"The prince thinks that with the temperament of the little eighth sister, what do I think is very important?"

Chai Nineteen was stunned, isn't it?

I heard Lu Qiqi continue: "It's Di Erlang, the prince should ask carefully." Although he is a royal celebrity and the son of the ruler, to me, Banniang is like a sister, and I will never let her suffer any harm. The Heavenly Family intends to let Di Erlang become the county lord, if Di Erlang really wants to, he should show some sincerity. To put it irreverently, in terms of the court, the Zeng family can't be compared with the royal family, but there is only one little eighth sister in this world. It's not something that anyone can marry if they want to. ”

"You really don't care?" Chai 19 is colorful.

After all, Lu Qiqi is Banniang's fiancé, and looking at him, he is so affectionate and righteous to Banniang.

"When I made a marriage with the eighth sister, did the county king ever care?" Lu Qiqi asked rhetorically.

Chai Nineteen shook his head.

Actually, it's not completely unconcerned. Everyone wants to have what they like. It's just that he knows better than anyone that Banniang doesn't want it, so he can afford it. Sometimes, if the precious thing really becomes one's own private collection, it is also the time of the destruction of the precious.

When he was young, he just liked it in his heart, and it wasn't until later that he understood that he had nothing to do with Banniang and Fengyue. Love is not the same as liking. When he understood, he was at ease.

His current princess Liu has some similarities with Banniang in terms of personality, but Liu is from a family and grew up in a deceitful environment since she was a child.

He didn't think that Banniang was inferior to Liu's, but he didn't want Banniang to become like that.

She can be herself, so that she can live up to the value she once cherished.

Love for him is really icing on the cake.

Before the wedding, he also thought that it was rare to be able to respect his princess like a guest, but he didn't want to get along these days, and the Liu family slowly entered his heart.

She is generous, beautiful as a flower, talented, beautiful and tender, and she is also a rare woman. It is his luck to get it.

"You." Chai Nineteen pointed to Lu Seventeen and couldn't help but smile.

Lu Seventeen can do this, Chai Nineteen has a little more respect for him in his heart.

"I went back and asked Ah Yong what it was like. If he really wants to, Uncle Huang's side, I will find a way. ”

"Then there is Lord Lao."

Chai Shijiu smiled and said: "I have been sitting in this room for a long time, and I am also depressed. It's been a long time since we've made a move, so why don't we practice a few hands? Call Ah Yong too. ”

After the two of them went out, Chai Shijiu beckoned the maid who was guarding outside: "Where did Di Erlang and Miss Zeng go?" ”

"Back to the prince's words, it seems that I went to the martial arts arena."

Chai Jiu smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go and take a look." ”

When he was about to be discharged from the hospital, he saw Princess Yijun admitted to the hospital, and said with a smile: "Lord, Master Lu, where is Miss Eight?" ”

"I went to the martial arts arena with Ah Yong, and it just so happened that Seventeen Lang and I were going to take a look, if the princess is interested, why don't you go with us to have a look?"

Liu's family is deeply favored by the Duke of Liu, because the Duke of the Kingdom has a door, only this one daughter, all raised as men, so since the beginning of the martial arts, the skills are very unusual, hearing this, said with a smile: "It is better to be respectful than to obey the fate, since the prince invites him, the concubine will follow to join in the fun." ”

So he ordered a maid with him to go to the backyard to talk to the big maid in charge. With Chai Nineteen, he went to the martial arts arena in the backyard of the palace.

The martial arts arena is extremely empty, and you can see the entire situation in the arena when you enter the hospital, but when the three of them enter the courtyard gate, they are stunned for a while.

Seeing that Qinghe was saying something, his expression was intense, and he raised his hand and slapped Banniang's face.
