Section 141 Returning the Pearls (1)

Lai'an went to Xingping Wangfu to send a post, and when he got the letter, he hurriedly returned to the Shengchang Marquis Mansion to tell Sheng Xiuyi.

Sheng Xiuyi got up in the morning and went to the Qingsong Garden in the outer courtyard to practice martial arts, and he never stopped.

When Lai'an looked for it, Sheng Xiuyi and Laifu fed the sword. The daylight in the middle of the morning is delicate, and the sword light is overflowing, dazzling. Seeing Lai'an coming, the sword in Laifu's hand bypassed Sheng Xiuyi and swung straight towards Lai'an.

The chill from the blade of the sword startled Lai'an, and he hurriedly retreated, accidentally tripped over a stone on his heel, and smashed his feet on the ground.

He was in pain, and he was about to get up, but he struggled for a long time, and he couldn't turn over, and he looked very funny.

Rifle couldn't help but laugh.

Sheng Xiuyi couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and pulled him up, and scolded with a smile: "Useless stupid, if he scares you, you will fall like this!" ”

Lai An was indignant and said, "Lord Shizi, that's a sword!" If he had pierced my throat in his hand, my life would have been lost! ”

Laifu took the sword and patted him on the shoulder: "Your little life is gone, my life will accompany you!" ”

"Your life is with me, my life is still gone!" Lai'an's thinking is very clear.

It also made Sheng Xiuyi and Laifu laugh.

Back to the house to bathe, Sheng Xiuyi changed into clean clothes and asked about Lai'an going to Xingping Palace.

"I've been waiting in the gatehouse of the Xingping Mansion for more than three hours." Lai An complained, "The prince read the post and asked you what you were looking for him, but I didn't say." He gave me a reward of five taels of silver. ”

Sheng Xiuyi said: "King Xingping is very generous!" You didn't say anything, and he gave you a reward of five taels. ”

Lai An smiled narrowly: "Lord Shizi, you said the opposite. He first gave me a reward of five taels of silver, and then I didn't say anything."

Sheng Xiuyi smiled: "You are getting more and more ghostly!" ”

Lai'an was proud.

Sheng Xiuyi bathed and changed his clothes again, tied up his thick hair with a white jade crown, changed into a royal blue cocoon silk straight jacket, foundation soap boots, and went straight to Xingping Wangfu with Laifu.

It's almost lunchtime.

The steward of the concierge invited Sheng Xiuyi to enter the door and let the main hall of the Xingping Mansion take it.

King Xingping had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Sheng Xiuyi coming, he got up and greeted him with a smile: "Uncle Guo is very happy!" In the northwest line, the uncle of the country is in the community, and he is the leader of the country. Xiao Wang congratulated Uncle Guo. ”

Sheng Xiuyi smiled: "The prince tortures me like this!" If you still remember the love of drinking and writing poetry back then, you should still call me Tianhe! ”

Without half a point of arrogance after gaining power, he was still so gentle and modest, and the vigilance in King Xingping's eyes was three points lighter, and he led Sheng Xiuyi to sit in the main hall and drink tea.

The maid came to ask if she wanted to set up a meal, and King Xingping said: "Coarse tea and light rice, slack off the heavens." ”

Sheng Xiuyi hurriedly said politely, and followed King Xingping to the flower hall for dinner.

Because Sheng Xiuyi's worship post said that there was an urgent matter to see King Xingping, he did not ask the staff to accompany him, but only called a few domestic singers to play and sing, and gossip with Sheng Xiuyi.

"I did something yesterday for 30,000 taels of silver." Sheng Xiuyi held the glass cup in his hand, slowly tasted the mellow mash in the cup, and said in a soft tone as if he was pouring out something, "I don't dare to tell my father yet." Thinking that the prince is also an elder, let the prince get an idea for me. ”

King Xingping couldn't figure out Sheng Xiuyi's vein, and couldn't listen to the clue in his words, so he had to joke with a smile: "Tianhe provoked a romantic debt? ”

Sheng Xiuyi smiled: "The prince thinks highly of me!" I've always had a bad tongue, so where can I get into a romantic affair? But I saw an affair."

Before he finished his sentence, he was beaten again.

King Xingping's appetite was whetted by him.

"This king loves romantic things the most in his life, and I will listen to one of them." King Xingping said with a smile.

"A man came to me and asked me to see a child and a woman, and asked me for the price of thirty thousand taels of silver." Sheng Xiuyi said slowly, "When I saw the child and the woman, I gave the man money and kept the child and the woman in a friend's house. ”

King Xingping's eyebrows jumped.

Children and women ̈

It occurred to him that he also had such two people in his hands.

Thinking about it, the look in his eyes was a little more serious.

I only heard Sheng Xiuyi continue: "One. If I had gone back a few months ago, I would not have given money easily, even if I wondered why the child's face was so familiar. ”

The look in King Xingping's eyes narrowed a little and asked with a smile: "Oh, what kind of child is it?" ”

Sheng Xiuyi shook his head and said with a smile: "The prince doesn't have to ask first. Listen to me an allusion: On the first day of the first month of March, I returned to Beijing for His Majesty's family banquet, but our father and son and the father and son of the Marquis of Zhenxian were the two. His Majesty was about happy in his heart, drank a few more glasses, was a little drunk, and talked about the affairs of the DPRK and China. I also mentioned you, the prince. ”

King Xingping's heart suddenly became powerful. He keenly felt that Sheng Xiuyi was a little different.

He seemed to be pretending to be crazy, saying everything from east to west, but not saying everything completely. Fang was still talking about the child, but now he was talking about the family banquet in Tingye.

King Xingping was anxious, but he still looked careless on his face, and he followed Sheng Xiuyi's question and said something to His Majesty.

"Your Majesty only said the three words King Xingping, and said that you are the first loyal of this dynasty" Sheng Xiuyi said with a smile, "When Your Majesty was still the crown prince, he often came to your house to have fun." In addition to talking about you, he also talked about his immorality in power for many years. ”

King Xingping smiled.

"He finally said to my father and the old marquis Xue, Xingping Wang Yi. Then he suddenly said, 'The pearl left in the sea is unkind to the father!' ," Sheng Xiuyi looked at King Xingping and said softly.

King Xingping almost slipped with chopsticks in his hand. He looked at Sheng Xiuyi in astonishment: "What does Your Majesty mean by this?" ”

Although he was the same as Spiegel in his heart, he didn't want Sheng Xiuyi to see the flaws and be suspicious, so he pretended to be panicked and afraid.

Until the last moment, King Xingping will not be tested by Sheng Xiuyi or anything.

Sheng Xiuyi smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, it's just a drunk sentence." At that time, my father and Old Marquis Xue also asked this: What does Your Majesty mean? The will is unpredictable, and who knows? ”

After that, he shook his head and smiled.

King Xingping looked at Sheng Xiuyi, and his eyes disappeared from the contemptuous and perfunctory treatment, and he became very serious.

Sheng Xiuyi only pretended not to know.

first talked about the king of Xingping, and then said that the pearl was left behind, Sheng Xiuyi also deliberately said that he spent money to get a child and a woman, etc., isn't it telling the king of Xingping that Sheng Xiuyi not only got the pearl, but also knew that the pearl went out of the palace of the king of Xingping.

Not only does he know, but His Majesty also knows.

Mrs. Xiao has been removed, and now the world is peaceful, if King Xingping still hides His Majesty's relics and refuses to offer them, he intends to deceive the king.

King Xingping wanted to know at the moment how the singer and the child got into Sheng Xiuyi's hands.

He held the pot and poured wine, and asked Sheng Xiuyi with a smile: "I am an idle person, how can I talk about the words of the imperial court." Heaven and drink a few more cups."

As he spoke, he also poured wine for Sheng Xiuyi.

Sheng Xiuyi hurriedly thanked him, respectfully took it in his hand, and saluted King Xingping first before drinking into his stomach.

"But. The affairs of the DPRK and China are also none of their business. Sheng Xiuyi finished drinking, and then smiled, "Only one thing, the child I got yesterday is almost six years old this year, two years younger than the third prince of my family's concubine Niangniang, and he looks very heavenly." I asked them about the mother and son, and they couldn't tell where they came from. The mother only said that she used to learn art in the prince's mansion."

The sweat of King Xingping's palm came out.

Sheng Xiuyi said it so truthfully, it didn't seem like he was tempted indiscriminately.

"When I looked at his appearance, I remembered His Majesty's words at the family banquet that day, what pearls were left in the sea, and I panicked. The man asked for 30,000 taels, so I went to the pawn shop, pawned my seal, and gave 30,000 taels to the man. Sheng Xiuyi said, and sighed, "The prince has an idea for me, how am I doing now?" ”

When King Xingping heard this, he already understood that Sheng Xiuyi was not talking to him, but came to him to ask for the 30,000 taels of silver.

"I don't know who is asking for money?" King Xingping asked.

Sheng Xiuyi glanced at him and said with a smile: "The prince is a layman who asks this." If he could tell his identity, he would probably take the child and the woman to find the prince. The prince is richer than me, not only 30,000 taels, but 300,000 taels The prince won't give it? ”

Three million taels will also be given!

King Xingping hated it tightly in his heart, who leaked the news and let people bring the child and the woman out!

There was no longer a smile on his face, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "Tianhe, did you pawn money with your own seal?" ”

The seal of the prince of the Marquis of Shengchang, 30,000 taels of silver is still worth it. King Xingping did not doubt this.

Sheng Xiuyi nodded.

"In this way, this king has exactly 40,000 taels of silver in hand, and you can take it first." King Xingping said, then called the housekeeper, and immediately took the silver ticket over.

In a moment, the steward took a box, and put half a box of silver tickets, one hundred taels and one chapters, on the case, and gently withdrew.

Sheng Xiuyi unceremoniously opened the box, counted the silver tickets, only took 30,000 taels, and said with a smile: "The prince is polite, my seal was only pawned for 30,000 taels." ”

Putting the silver ticket in his arms, he sighed lightly, "Don't blame me for being nosy. If I am motivated to make a profit, whether I give this child to my father or to my foreign town to the Marquis Mansion, the benefits they give me are far more than the 30,000 taels of silver. ”

King Xingping nodded.

He had long been suspicious of Sheng Xiuyi's move.

Since you have such a treasure, take it into the palace to ask for a reward, or give it to the Marquis of Shengchang, or the Marquis of Zhenxian, it is a great credit, how can it be returned to the King of Xingping, and only 30,000 taels of capital?

"In the prince's mansion, there is a friend of mine." Sheng Xiuyi smiled, "I thought, if the prince gets the credit this time, it is better to hire an official for him." He's been in your house for years. ”

Sheng Xiuyi and King Xingping's Qingke Yin Yan had dealings, and King Xingping knew it.

Today there is only this chapter. I was not feeling well, I went to the hospital in the morning to hang up the water, and I was groggy in the afternoon. I'll try to have more ~~~ tomorrow

I'm sorry sisters, I also think I'm pretty scummy these days, so forgive me
