Chapter 177: Vinegar (2)
But Xiao Huaijin didn't hear what he said at all, but it was not good to say that he didn't hear it, and the corners of his mouth moved and he didn't know what to say, so he had to find some excuses to prevaricate first.
I want to go back quickly, but I can't delay the government.
coincided with the next elderly minister, quoting scriptures and debating human feelings, but he couldn't say it for a long time, Xiao Huaijin was afraid that he would talk about it in the afternoon and delay his time to go home: "You'd better say something important." ”
He looked like he would tear down other people's old bones if he couldn't say anything important, and no one dared to talk nonsense. Fortunately, he got off the court early, and hurriedly asked Liang Cuo to drive straight to the Lion Tower to bring some fragrant and favorite wine and food, and then went to the shop opposite the Lion Building to pick up chestnut candy and a little delicious candied fruit.
Liang Cuo's hand was about to be unable to hold it, and in a blink of an eye, Xiao Huaijin was eyeing a cloth stake again, and as soon as Liang Cuo wanted to stop Xiao Huaijin, he had already drilled in.
As soon as the people saw that it was Xiao Huaijin, they hurriedly put down the things in their hands and called the shopkeeper, and the people in the entire cloth pile were full of smiling faces and couldn't stop beating the drums in their hearts, asking people to follow behind Xiao Huaijin as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Lord, hey, the presence of the prince really makes the shop shine. What would you like to see? Why don't you take a little jade step and let's go upstairs and have a look? Upstairs is full of good materials for the Imperial City! ”
Xiao Huaijin glanced at the shopkeeper: "I want the red one." ”
"Uh......" The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "Lord, this is just a national funeral, and the red materials are all in the warehouse." You see that this upside-down treasury will have to wait for a while, why don't you take someone to the palace tomorrow? ”
Seeing that Xiao Huaijin was silent, he continued: "The little one called the skilled hand Guo Tailor of Linqixuan, the palm embroidered spike girl of the Golden Hazel Pavilion, and then asked the shopkeeper of Cuiyunfang to bring the treasure of their town store to go together.
Silk silk and silver hairpins shook about the collar, and took them together to pick the princess? ”
Xiao Huaijin's face softened a little, and he spit out: "It's okay." ”
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and his stretched palms were full of fine sweat.
No wonder Wanxiang hasn't worn red clothes for a long time, it turned out to be for the national funeral.
Liang Cuo followed behind him and couldn't help complaining: "How heavy are the things in the hands of his subordinates, how attentive the prince is to the princess, is the prince too much?" ”
"It's better to be diligent, she won't go to sleep in the study if she is diligent."
"The princess is not a grudge, otherwise the prince was so strict with her in the early years, how could she marry the prince again now?"
Xiao Huaijin turned around and smiled at Liang Cuo, not as if he was angry at his ridicule of himself. Liang Cuo followed behind him to carry things into the carriage, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a carriage parked in the direction of the back door of Qingyuefang, and the lantern in front of the carriage had the word 'Xiang' written on it.
The car of Xiangwang's Mansion is parked at the back door of Qingyuefang, but it is just that Xiangwang is upset or bored, and Qingyuefang is clear in the next dynasty.
I saw a woman with a hat walking to the side of the car and being helped to get into the car, and a sudden strong wind lifted the veil on her face, and the face that looked like a child went deeper into Liang Cuo's eyes.
Thinking back to seeing Wanxiang knock a stick on the back of Qi'er's head and knock someone to death, how could there be a person like her in the imperial city?
"What's wrong?" Hearing Xiao Huaijin's call, Liang Cuo came back to his senses and hurriedly moved things, thinking that he might have seen it wrong: "Go back to the prince, it's nothing." ”
Until he returned home, Liang Cuo still looked worried, and Fu Yu opened the boxes for Wanxiang like the New Year to see what good things were inside.
Xiao Huaijin got out of the car and walked straight into the house with the crystal elbow of the Lion Tower, and when she saw that Wanxiang was still asleep, she couldn't help frowning, and turned around and asked Qiu Di: "The princess didn't get up this morning?" ”
Qiu Di nodded cautiously, Xiao Huaijin waved her hand to signal her to go down, took the fan on the side with her elbow, and fanned it vigorously in front of Wanxiang.
The person in front of him didn't move, but his stomach screamed first. Wanxiang immediately opened her eyes and stared at Xiao Huaijin, who was gloating, pushed away the quilt and sat up: "Since you know that I am pretending to be asleep, why don't you wake me up directly?" ”
"You deliberately pretend to be asleep, how can you be woken up so easily?" Xiao Huaijin waved his hand and put the things aside: "Qiu Di, wait for the princess to freshen up." ”
Wanxiang put on her shoes to rinse her mouth and wash her face, and didn't intend to pay attention to him, Xiao Huaijin followed behind him inch by inch: "I guess you were angry all morning and didn't eat anything, so you hurried to the Lion Tower and brought back your favorite food and drink." ”
As he spoke, he leaned over to Wanxiang and hugged her, telling her to cling to herself tightly and listen to herself carefully: "I also picked a lot of candied fruits, as well as your favorite chestnut candy."
Fuyu's kid is being demolished one by one, if you don't care about it, he's afraid he's going to keep it in the hidden room to marry his daughter-in-law. ”
Wanxiang's clothes haven't been put on yet, and the other sleeve is still held by Qiu Di in his hand, so that Qiu Di doesn't know how to deal with herself.
Wanxiang hurriedly pushed him away and sat down in front of the dressing table by himself, ignoring Xiao Huaijin's courtesy, but he followed Wanxiang like a tail, watching her curl hair and watching her eyebrows.
I was afraid that the incense would disappear in a blink of an eye, and when I was sitting and waiting for her to eat together, Liang came in from outside: "Princess, Beixun has a letter." ”
Wanxiang took it and took it apart, read it carefully, and then said to Qiu Di: "Don't hairpin, go down." ”
Listening to the tone, it seemed that something was wrong, and waiting for Qiu Di to go down, Wanxiang finally spoke to Xiao Huaijin: "Beixun has been very strange recently, there is a wonderful garden in the city, which is very attractive to the dignitaries in the city.
Aunt Hong has been checking for a long time and has not found the main owner behind it, and she has been able to share it with the Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion in just a few months. ”
Xiao Huaijin didn't seem to care after hearing it, but just pulled up the incense and went outside to press her to the side of the desk and eat honestly.
While holding meat for her, he said: "Do you suspect that the patron behind it intends to eradicate the Tibetan Incense Pavilion?" ”
"The strange thing is that as soon as we arrived in Beixun in Miaoyuan, our ears and eyes were not so bright. If he just wants to grab the superficial business, it's nothing, I'm afraid he wants to uproot.
I and Aunt Hong have worked hard for many years to get to where we are today, and we have easily escaped the palace raid, and I will never allow it to make the slightest mistake.
That wonderful house, even if it is killed by mistake, it can't be let go. After speaking, he stuffed a large mouthful of meat into his mouth, Xiao Huaijin looked at her with a smile: "I don't know, I think our palace can't even afford to eat." ”
"Don't think that you can coax me by buying some food, so I can ignore yesterday's events."
Xiao Huaijin was busy wiping her mouth, feeling weak like a child: "I've been very busy recently, I'm afraid I can't take care of you, I have to eat well when I'm at home." ”
The chewing movement in Wanxiang's small mouth became sluggish, and she looked back at Xiao Huaijin and stuffed her elbow: "What are you going to do?" ”
"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, first fill the treasury, and then expand the territory."
In his mouth, 'opening up the territory and expanding the territory' is as simple as throwing a few copper coins out when Rongchuan is telling hexagrams, and Wanxiang smiled and no longer asked about the affairs of the court.
As for Qi Xiao's matter, seeing that Xiao Huaijin made such a concession, the saint had already given marriage, and Wanxiang was not willing to worry too much, even if it was in the past.
With Xiao Huaijin eating, drinking, talking, laughing, and laughing, walking around the yard to play chess, or lying on the side of the desk and watching him write.
She rolled up her sleeves for him and said, "The prince's words are as frightening as the wind, and they are very good-looking." ”
He looked back at her, although he smiled softly, there was always some sadness in his eyes and a little unbearable. When Wanxiang saw it, he was reminded of the past, sighed with emotion, and leaned quietly beside him.
The night passed, and the people around Wanxiang had already gotten up early to go to court. As soon as Wanxiang sat up, Qiu Di came over to put on her shoes: "The princess woke up, and there were many people in the front hall, saying that the prince ordered her to come over and choose materials for the princess to cut new clothes." ”
"Oh."
After grooming, Wanxiang took Qiu Difuyu to see Xiao Huaijin and asked someone to take something good for herself.
Fu Yu doesn't treat himself as an outsider, all those jewelry have to pass his eyes one by one, and even Qiu Di has a hosta in his hand.
The excitement for a while made Wanxiang not a little boring, until Liang Cuo came back and walked to Wanxiang in a hurry: "Princess." ”
Wanxiang looked behind him, but didn't see Xiao Huaijin's figure: "What's wrong?" What about the prince? ”
"The prince was invited to Qingyuefang by Qi Hou when he went down to the court, saying that he had important matters to discuss, how could he know that the wine had passed three rounds ......"
"How about three rounds of drinking?"
Liang Cuo lowered his head: "My subordinates have been waiting outside the door, probably after three rounds of wine, and they are waiting to come out." After a while, Qi Xiao ran out of it in disheveled clothes. ”
