"The shop was originally a family bookstore, and a few book selectors lived in it. Then some people discovered that most of the articles selected in their bookstore implied dissatisfaction with Mrs. Xiao. At that time, Mrs. Xiao's power in the court was prosperous, and Yong Ningbo couldn't make up his mind for a while.

If they don't drive them away, they will be told to Mrs. Xiao by the good deeds, and Mrs. Xiao will think that it was Yongningbo who acquiesced, so he offended Mrs. Xiao; If they are driven away, they are not allowed to be disrespectful to Mrs. Xiao, and Mrs. Xiao will be unlucky in the future, and the royal family will think that Yongningbo has taken refuge in Mrs. Xiao.

It happened that Mr. Lin took Aunt Tao's brother to look for a house, and when this word reached Yongningbo's ears, he said that the Shengchang Marquis Mansion was going to use this shop and used this excuse to drive the group of students away.

The shop was vacant, and Manager Lin wanted to rent it, but Yong Ningbo said that he was willing to sell it, and gave him a price of 10%. Mr. Lin asked Master Hou.

Hou Ye said that Yong Ningbo had something to ask him to be an old man, and he took this shop as a favor, but he was not at ease if he didn't accept Yong Ningbo, so he asked Mr. Lin to buy it with peace of mind.

Then Aunt Tao's brother opened this rouge shop. "Rose's words are clear, and the sheng Xiuyi is restored.

Sheng Xiuyi couldn't help but bow slightly.

The people and things in the court, the maids in the inner house are not very clear. Even if they parrot their tongues, they may not remember it neatly, and it is difficult for Rose to say it word for word, and there is no mistake in what she says.

After listening to Rose's words, Sheng Xiuyi got up and went to the small study.

wrote a post, and still asked Rose to send it to the outer courtyard to give blessings to his little servant.

He himself did not step out of the door of the inner courtyard, as if he had deliberately avoided something.

Laifu took the post written by Sheng Xiuyi and thanked Rose.

Laifu is different from Sheng Xiuyi's other little servant, Lai'an. He was tall and sturdy, with dark skin, and even a little fierce, not as white and beautiful as Lai'an.

After reading the post written by Sheng Xiuyi, his eyes turned on Rose, and then he couldn't help but look at her.

Just as Rose looked up and saw him looking at herself. His eyes were a little hot. Rose saw that this was light, and anger rose from the bottom of her heart, and a pair of watery and dark apricot eyes stared at him. I'm about to have a seizure.

Laifu was suddenly forced to look at this girl, but he couldn't bear it, his face was hot, he abruptly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the post again, but the roots of his ears were red.

He was so ashamed that Rose's anger couldn't come out.

On the way back. She couldn't help but think of the little girl's blushing ears, and she felt her cheeks burn.

Back in the Jingshi Courtyard, Rose learned that Sheng Xiuyi was talking to Dong Yu in the inner room, so she went in to pay homage to Sheng Xiuyi, and still went to the Warm Pavilion to take care of the third young master Sheng Xiuyi.

As soon as she went out, Dong Ying asked Sheng Xiuyi with a smile: "Did you ask clearly?" Aunt Tao's brother's shop, can it occupy Yongningbo's favor? ”

"I can't say it." Sheng Xiuyi smiled: "Daddy knows about this. It's all right. Yongningbo and Daddy are the best, if you hide it from Daddy, he will be told by Yongningbo one day. I'm afraid I'll be blamed again. ”

As he spoke, he smiled slightly.

Only then did Dong Yu put his mind at ease.

A few days later, on the thirteenth day of March, Sheng Xiuyi had breakfast in the Jingshi Courtyard, and the nurse took the child to the inner room to take a look at Dongyi, and Sheng Xiuyi held it in her hand and teased it.

The little maid came in and said that Lai An was looking for the prince.

Sheng Xiuyi's expression was sluggish, he handed the child to the nurse, and hurriedly walked out.

Lai'an talked to Sheng Xiuyi in the small study for a long time, Sheng Xiuyi went back to the house to change clothes, and said to Dongyi: "There is something in the yamen. I came back late tonight, and rested in the outer courtyard. ”

The room was full of people serving, and Dong Yu naturally didn't ask anything, but respectfully said that he knew.

As soon as Sheng Xiuyi came out of the inner room, Mrs. Sheng walked in with the help of Kang's mother and Citron.

"Going out?" Mrs. Sheng asked Sheng Xiuyi.

Sheng Xiuyi greeted her and said with a smile: "It's a little thing in the yamen. Go for a walk. ”

Mrs. Sheng bowed her head and went into the inner room to see Dongyu.

"Just now, your third aunt sent the housekeeper mother next to me to tell me that the sixth aunt gave birth to a big fat boy last night!" Mrs. Sheng sat beside Dongyuan's bed, holding Sheng Lecheng in her hand, and said to Dongyuan.

The joy in his tone could not be concealed.

There are four nephews in the second and third rooms, and the fourth is looking for death and life for an aunt, and his body is not good; I also heard that the old fifth room is useless, and it is not possible to seek medical advice in private; The old seven is young, and although he marries a daughter-in-law with a good appearance and temperament, she is a beauty as thin as a kite, and it is not easy to give birth to her.

Now only the old sixth room finally has a child, and he is still a man, and he is the eldest grandson of the third room.

The first child is a male, which is an auspicious omen, and you are afraid that you will not have a strong heir in the future?

"The third aunt must be very happy." Dong Yu smiled.

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Sheng smiled, "I said that the three baptisms for the child should be more solemn, so I must go!" If there are ten or eight children in the fifth or sixth room, and the children born to my aunt, your third aunt will not bother me to go over.

But Sanfang has survived all these years, and it is easy to get such a baby grandson, not to mention that the daughter of a good family who was brought in seriously was born to an aunt, and she is a maidservant girl, I should also give your third aunt this face. ”

Dong Yu smiled: "I should be happy and happy, and my mother will also add pots for me to the child when she arrives." ”

Mrs. Sheng said: "You have this heart, your third aunt must like it, and my mother will prepare a gift for you." ”

Dongyu is a nephew and daughter-in-law, and adding a pot to the third-room child is just a few silver bills, so she didn't excuse herself, and let Mrs. Sheng help her prepare the gift, only saying: "There is a mother." ”

*****************

Sheng Xiuyi went to the outer courtyard, took the little servants Lai'an and Laifu out, went straight out of the capital, and went to a small town in the eastern suburbs.

When he came back, he brought a carriage and did not go back to the Shengchang Marquis Mansion, but went to his friend Cheng Yongxuan's house.

I had dinner at Chengfu and didn't go home until curfew.

The inner courtyard of the Sheng Mansion has been locked, and Sheng Xiuyi is still staying in the study.

He wrote a prayer post on the desk, handed it to Lai'an, and said: "Early tomorrow morning, you will take this post to the Xingping Palace, wait for their house to open the door, and hand over this worship post to the Xingping King." ”

Lai An carefully put it in his arms, said yes, then thought about it, and asked: "Lord Shizi, do you want to be so cheap King Xingping?" You have found Your Majesty's relics, why don't you personally receive them to ask for a reward? ”

He didn't understand what his master's idea was to go to such great lengths to get people from King Xingping, but he wanted to visit King Xingping and return them to him.

Sheng Xiuyi smiled: "I have my own plans, you all go down and rest." ”

Lai'an and Laifudao are.

Out of the study, Lai'an was still not very willing, and asked Laifu again: "...... Brother, what do you think about the prince? ”

Laifu said: "If you, before and after huā tens of thousands of taels of silver got such two people, are you willing to give this color to others?" ”

Lai'an shook his head affirmatively.

Laifu said: "Isn't this the end?" You all know that giving it to others is a loss-making deal, don't you know? It can be seen that this reward cannot be asked for by the prince. ”

"Why?" Lai An was puzzled, "Afraid of offending King Xingping?" ”

Then he pouted, not quite believing it.

What kind of power is the Sheng family, is it an ordinary family, afraid of King Xingping?

Laifu also shook his head, and then asked Lai'an: "Figured it out, how many more rewards can you get?" ”

Lai An wondered if he could say this.

Laifu said again: "It's not good for you, what are you doing to get to the bottom of it?" Go to sleep, tomorrow morning to send the post is wrong, you should beg again. ”

Lai'an had no choice but to go back to his residence.

Early in the morning of the next day, the Marquis of Sheng Chang and the third master Sheng Xiumu went to the court, and after coming to wait for the Hou and the third master to leave, they also went out and went straight to the Xingping Palace.

In the early spring morning of March, the thin shirt couldn't stand the cold, and he was so cold that he stood at the corner of the gate of the Xingping Mansion with his sleeves folded.

No one in Xingping Wangfu is an official, and there is no need to go to court, and the gate is only opened when it arrives in Maozheng, which is two hours later than the Shengchang Marquis Mansion.

Being a slave in Xingping Palace, you don't have to be in such a hurry, you are also happy. Thinking about it, Lai'an stepped forward to salute the door and said his identity.

That person heard that it was from the Marquis of Shengchang's mansion, and he was courteous to Lai'an.

Lai'an took out the prayer post, and the man hurriedly invited him into the porter to sit down, and took the prayer post with his own hands and sent it in.

The king of Xingping had not yet woken up, and the steward did not dare to enter with Sheng Xiuyi's prayer post, and waited at the door until the beginning of the year, when there was no movement to say that the king of Xingping had risen.

Lai'an waited in the gatehouse of Xingping Wangfu for three hours.

Fortunately, he didn't wait for leisure, and those little stewards didn't dare to treat him lightly. Knowing that he had not eaten in the morning, the steward ordered the cook to bring him snacks and hot tea, and although he was not hungry, he was waiting anxiously.

At the second moment of the first month, the little guy next to King Xingping came over to invite An.

King Xingping is not as fat as Lai'an imagined, on the contrary, he has a clear face, a long body, and although he is old, he is still a beautiful man.

It's just that the eyes are cloudy, so people don't dare to look directly.

He should be about the same age as Sheng Changhou, but because of his pampering and fair skin, he looks like he is only in his early forties, more than ten years younger than Sheng Changhou.

He asked Lai'an: "What is the matter with your family and your family to let you come early in the morning?" ”

The prayer post wrote important and urgent matters, and asked him, come to Anxiang, this king of Xingping is not mediocre at all, on the contrary, he is an extremely shrewd person.

"The little one is just running errands for the prince, and he doesn't know it." Come to Antao.

King Xingping looked at the little guy next to him, asked him to give Lai'an a purse, and said, "This is for you to drink tea." Go back to your family, this king has to be free today, so he can come and sit at any time......"

Lai'an held it in his palm, estimated that it was about five taels of silver, respectfully kowtowed to King Xingping to thank him, and left with a clear pretend.

It's just not to say what Sheng Xiuyi is doing with such an abnormal request to see.

King Xingping thought that Lai'an didn't understand his intention to inquire about the silver for him, and when he saw him leave without saying anything, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart: People say that Sheng Xiuyi is so mediocre, but he is afraid that it is true.

Look at his little guy, he doesn't have any eyesight.
