Chapter 61: About Tea
Shuangque'er's words provoked Zhu Xizhong to hook his lips and smile.
Even if there is no news of Li Yuanru's death, Zhu Shitong's wife, Zhang, who was born in the British government, cannot admit that he had conspired with him to buy a Zhuangzi outside the city as a private house.
Not to mention, this kind of thing in a private house is not what it is, it can be brought to the table, just what Zhu Yingzhen just said, that intends to frame the heirs of the Chengguo Mansion, that Zhang family, for the sake of her mother's family, the face of the British Mansion, will be crushed to death in the stomach, half a word, and it can't be said outside.
Could it be that the Zhang family got the news and was afraid that Li Yuanru would confess, so they killed her?
This possibility is not only there, but also not small.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xizhong slowly raised his head and looked outside the main hall.
"Xuan Wu."
Suddenly, Zhu Xizhong sighed lightly and called out a person's name.
"The subordinates are here."
A black figure, out of nowhere, flew in front of Zhu Xizhong, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head to obey orders.
The deceased of the Chengguo Mansion, known as the "Xuan Bing", from the second generation of the title inheritor, Zhu Yong, the king of Pingyin Wushu, has begun to screen and cultivate, at the time of the primary election, there are forty-nine people, the title is inherited from father to son.
After the third generation of the successor to the title, Zhu Yi, the Duke of Chengguo, changed the rule set by his father Zhu Yong, only one person is selected in one generation, and those who have many heirs are allowed to be sealed by force, so that the "Xuanbing" continues to this day, and the number has exceeded 100 people.
"You go and check if the people who are serving in the front yard today have a personal relationship with Lao Jiu."
The "Xuanbing" will unconditionally obey the orders of the reigning Chengguo Gong, no matter whether what he is told to do is correct or not, whether he is sent to death.
To put it mildly, even now, Zhu Xizhong ordered the "Xuan Bing" to enter the palace and assassinate Emperor Longqing, they would carry it out without blinking an eye.
But just as the "Xuanbing" will unconditionally carry out the order, they are only loyal to the title of Chengguo Gong, if their "master" is deposed by the emperor's decree, they will also give up their master, and wait for the new Chengguo Duke to be canonized in an ownerless state.
"Xuan Bing" is a secret existence.
It was only after the Chengguo Gong was enthroned that he was led by the leader to meet the new lord and swear allegiance to him.
In normal times, Zhu Xizhong would never summon "Xuan Bing" to his side when there was a second person.
But today, in front of the "simple and likable" double sparrow, he has broken this precedent.
He really fell in love with this, beautiful but not gaudy, clean like a pear blossom girl after the rain.
Her gaze will remind him of when he was young, the woman who admired and wanted to get close, but was shy and dodgy.
If she hadn't blocked the arrows for herself and died unexpectedly, that woman would have ......
Thinking of the old man, Zhu Xizhong instinctively shook his head.
He hadn't thought of her for years.
If it weren't for today, when he met these two sparrows, he was afraid that he would not think of her again until the end of his life?
Woman, what a strange thing.
Obviously, a person who is so afraid of pain, but for the love of that Raushzi, he is not even afraid of death!
Stupidity!
Stupid!
muttering stupidity in his mouth, Zhu Xizhong's eyes turned red involuntarily.
He raised his right hand and waved at Xuan Wu, motioning for him to leave.
"Your name is ......"
He handed her hand to the Sparrow and motioned for her to hold her hand and get up.
"The slave maid is called the Twin Sparrows."
"My father was a subordinate of Depingbo's house, and he was beaten to death because he provoked the anger of his master."
"My mother felt that my father died because of a mistake, and my younger brother and I were not qualified to have the same surname Li as other subordinates, so we let us follow her surname, surnamed Shuang, into a pair of pairs."
The twin sparrows are a clever girl.
Seeing Zhu Xizhong, he did not shy away from her, and summoned the dead soldiers of the Chengguo Mansion to give orders, and he understood that he would not stop at dragging only one Zhang into the water.
As long as she clings to the big tree of Zhu Xizhong, she is expected to make those who have treated her young lady poorly, those who have tried to harm or want to harm her young lady, and those who make her young lady unable to stay with her loved ones pay the price!
……
Jiangnan Town, Good Doctor Workshop.
Li Su and Ling Jun "talked secretly" in the study for about half an hour, and then walked out with a spring breeze on their faces.
Walking to the gate of the courtyard, he saw Li Qi, who was scared and peed his pants, and he wrung his eyebrows with some disgust.
Li Qi is afraid of wolves.
Since that distress, hysteria has fallen.
He already knew about it.
But what he didn't expect was that Liu Qingxin would raise a wolf as a plaything, and he didn't expect that Li Qi was scared to pee his pants by this wolf who was clearly still a cub, and embarrassed him in front of Ling Jun.
"How did you get it out!"
"What should I do if I hurt a guest!"
raised his head and glanced at Li Qi, who was standing by the door in embarrassment, Ling Jun pretended to be displeased, and "reprimanded" Liu lightly.
"Oops!"
"How can you be so selfish!"
"Your guests matter, my wolf cub, do you deserve to be bullied!"
"Keep it closed, it'll get sick!"
Listening to Ling Jun "blame" herself, Liu Qingxin pursed her lips "displeased".
"I was promised to have Your Majesty decree abolishing that law, which prohibits the slaughter of cattle."
"How many days have it been?"
"When will it be done?"
"Just now, the people told me that there is no old Mai Ke slaughtering cow in this vicinity, within a radius of a hundred miles, what do you let my wolf cub eat, huh?!"
Liu Qingxin did his best to sprinkle everything.
Walked quickly to Ling Jun, crossed his hands on his waist, raised his head, and asked him all the time, because he couldn't give her a satisfactory answer today, so he wouldn't be allowed to take another half step forward.
"In a few days, you should go back to Zhouzhuang and start learning the royal rules."
"There should be a lot of old cattle around there."
In the face of her "rudeness", Ling Jun didn't seem to be angry at all, stretched out her hand, and gently rubbed her head.
"The ban on the slaughter of cattle is to encourage farming."
"You don't have to be willful."
"When I return to Yanjing, I will write to my father and ask him to make a special case for the old man, allowing you to raise cattle in the Zhuangzi outside the city and use them as bait for wolf cubs."
Ling Jun deliberately mentioned Zhou Zhuang in front of Li Su.
Liu Qingxin married him as the daughter of the Shen family, and it was impossible to hide this matter.
He "leaked" the news to Li Su in advance, and he also discussed it with Liu Qingxin in the morning, which was conducive to their next plan.
Counting the days, the person who escorted the dowry should almost return to Yanjing.
Yanjing's side, the Wenchen family, should continue to wait and see, but the Wuxun family, heh, should not be able to sit still!
"Can you not go back......
Hearing Ling Jun mention the Shen family, Liu Qingxin showed a "wronged" look, and leaned towards him pitifully, half pleading, and said to him.
"You know that, too."
"I grew up with Master, and I ...... with them"
Shen family, she must go.
Before, Ling Jun had discussed with her, and she also promised to go out from Zhouzhuang and enter Beijing by chariot, and along the way, distribute locust treatment drugs to the people free of charge.
Liu Qingxin knew that Ling Jun was doing this for her good.
He wants to help her establish her prestige and help her gain the support and love of the people, so as to make up for the gap between her "life experience" and those young ladies who are from famous families and will definitely regard her as a thorn in their eyes.
The play has to be full.
In order to avoid it, she couldn't adapt to her new identity, and Ling Jun asked her to cover up her strangeness to the Shen family on the grounds that she was not in the Shen family.
"Even if the time is short, they are also your relatives."
"You know, blood is thicker than water."
Ling Jun smiled and took Liu Qingxin into his arms, taking the opportunity to take advantage of her.
is as cunning as he is, and knows very well that in front of outsiders, Liu Qingxin will "give him face" and not resist.
"Will you come with me?"
Liu Qingxin knew that Ling Jun was taking advantage of himself, but there was nothing he could do about him.
She gave Ling Jun a roll of her eyes, but her voice was as steady as ever.
"Hongxue will come to pick you up."
"The Shen family is not a dangerous place, I let the winter solstice and Lixia go with you, and I will protect you well."
"The wedding date is approaching, I want to go back to Yanjing to prepare."
Knowing that Li Su couldn't see Liu Qingxin's expression, Ling Jun was not afraid of her silent threat, his lady was not an outsider, what did it matter if he hugged him?
If anyone dares to go outside and talk nonsense, he will cause people to clasp the eyes of those who are talking nonsense!
In Yanjing, it is no secret that Ling Jun has a close relationship with the Shen family.
Many people are guessing, and many people are inquiring about why he suddenly became friends with Shen Hongxue, but he has already taken precautions and has not satisfied those people.
Now, he is here, "selling" this reason to Li Su, of course, to make Li Su think that they have a close enough relationship.
"Okay."
Liu Qingxin responded to Ling Jun's words in an extremely aggrieved tone, and then took the opportunity to push him away from himself.
"When you go back to Beijing this time, help me bring back the congratulatory gifts."
"Before, Jiang Rusong's disgusting dead child got married, and I didn't have time to prepare a congratulatory gift for him."
"I thought that when the spring begins, I will send it to someone, but I never thought that Your Majesty would give us a marriage so soon."
"By the way, there's this shop."
"Simply, when we become relatives, this shop will not be opened."
"All the objects are still half-new, and it's a pity to lose them, so it's better to find someone as soon as possible and transport them to Yanjing, how about it?"
Liu Qingxin "seems to be no one around", and discusses his plans with Ling Jun.
His family Lingjun said.
Depingbo Mansion is notoriously rich.
If you have a knife and don't kill the wronged boss, how can you be worthy of Depingbo Li Ming, the bastard who once participated in the trapping of Ling Jun?
"Don't mess around!"
"It's just some half-used utensils, and it's important to move to Yanjing!"
Seeing Liu Qingxin looking at herself with a wicked smile, Ling Jun understood that she was planning to stab Li Ming again.
Anyway.
It's just a little money.
Depingbo Mansion is not short of money, let them vomit more blood, and it can also make them more "at ease", and their plans will be beneficial and harmless.
"Not to mention, the cost of travel is more expensive than buying new equipment."
"Where are you going to store these utensils?"
"No, let me build a warehouse for you in the palace, store these, and you won't use them for the rest of your life!"
"You ruined woman, you're really ......"
Ling Jun was laughed at lightly by Liu.
He was a little helpless, and touched the head of Liu Qingxin, a "loser woman", and his eyes were full of spoiling.
Anyone can see that if Liu Qingxin says a word to Ling Jun at this time, I will ask for it, and he will agree without hesitation.
"Then, I told my cousin to let him buy me a shop in Yanjing and open a new medical workshop?"
Liu Qingxin is determined to pass on the teachings of his teacher.
With the old man Shen's doting on her, she was not bad, and gave her one more shop as a dowry, but Liu was light-hearted, but she didn't want to open this mouth with his old man.
After all, the Shen family is not bad for money, and Deping Bofu is not bad for money, is it?
"No way!"
Hearing Liu Qingxin say that she wanted Shen Hongxue to give her a shop, Ling Jun suddenly became emotional and yelled at her.
"The Shen family is big, and it's not for you to mess around like this!"
"Have you ever thought that you weren't close to them in the first place, and this time you came back, you didn't live at home for a few days, so you want this and that, will provoke them to look down on you?!"
"You are a man with a husband."
"Your husband, it's not that I can't afford to support you."
"It's just a shop, and it's not worth much."
"When we become relatives, I will personally take you to pick a place, and where you like, we will buy it!"
He knew in his heart that this was just a trap used by Liu Qingxin to invite Li Su into the urn, but even so, Shen Hongxue's "target" still made him very unhappy.
That kid is a high-risk existence.
Gotta keep him away from Liu.
No, the farther the better!
The speaker has the intention, and the listener has the heart.
Li Su pretended to look at Li Qi, who had lost people to him, but in his heart, he had already remembered Liu Qingxin's "appeal" clearly.
This quasi-princess is simply inhuman.
With her heart, she went to Yanjing, and she didn't know how long she could live in the hands of those ladies.
Still, it doesn't matter.
What he wants to curry favor with is the third prince Zhu Lingjun.
Even if this quasi-princess can't live for more than a month in Yanjing, as long as the third prince Zhu Lingjun can become a close friend with him, she can be regarded as "deserving of death".
"In the battalion, there are still some military affairs."
"So I'll take my leave, Your Highness."
Li Su knew it was time for him to go.
Don't look at indecent acts.
Moreover, he also needs to report these newly heard news to the Deping Bofu as soon as possible, and talk to his father in exchange for more support.
"Yes, go ahead."
"I'll stay here for a few more days."
"If you have time, come to me for tea."
Li Su's farewell seemed to pull Ling Jun back from somewhere.
He was a little embarrassed, and smiled with Li Su, as if, before, he had forgotten that he was still in front of him.
In the Ming Dynasty, since Emperor Gao, there has been a lot of suppression on gathering people to drink tea.
For several generations, the tea fighting that was prevalent in the previous dynasty has long disappeared from the famous family, and only some private shops are still secretly, using this as a game to solicit the so-called "elegant people" to gamble.
Li Su, although he is only a concubine, is also from a famous martial arts family.
Affected by this, he instinctively understood what Ling Jun told him, drinking tea, into a detailed discussion and planning of certain things.
His Royal Highness the Third Prince has begun to treat me as his own.
Very good.
Li Su thought like this, and happily saluted Ling Jun, and promised him that after dealing with the military affairs in the camp, he would come to talk about the "tea matter" with him.
