Chapter 213: Invitation
Why? Speaking of which, it is true that Sun Lulu has never told him why she made friends with Cai Xiaoxiao, the identities of the two are very different, and it stands to reason that they should not have been in contact.
Zuo Xiang suddenly remembered that when Sun Lulu took him to Cai Xiaoxiao's shop to taste breakfast, a man named Zheng Yi had said that Sun Lulu had been there many times, but had never tasted the food in the store......
Zuo Xiang knew his daughter's temperament, and he just thought that she was disgusted with the food in the store, but he didn't expect that Sun Lulu had never disdained to be friends with civilian women before......
Zuo Xiang bowed his head, bent down slightly, and said, "It's the old minister's negligence." He really didn't expect that Sun Lulu would like a married man!
King Jiang rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "Originally, this king shouldn't have taken care of these children's trivial matters, but now the prince is eyeing your daughter, I'm afraid I'm just waiting to catch you!" The daughter of the minister oppresses the family members of subordinate officials, if this behavior reaches the ears of the emperor, you don't need to say that the king will also know what the consequences will be! Not to mention that now the emperor is very satisfied with that Zhao Kangcheng! ”
Zuo Xiang naturally understood, so he assured King Jiang: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, Lulu is a girl who understands proportions, and she will never do anything to oppress......"
Know how to measure? Jiang Wang thought of the big and small disasters that Sun Lulu had caused before, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but looking at Zuo Xiang's bent waist, he still didn't say the words of the blow, waved his hand, and said: "This king called you here just to remind you, no matter what happens to your daughter in the future, you still have to have an eye on her, stare at her a little, no matter how bad it is, let her be married to a good family as soon as possible." Don't let half of your life's reputation be ruined at the hands of your daughter! ”
Zuo Xiang also knew that King Jiang was thinking about him, so he said gratefully: "The old minister understands, let the prince worry about the old minister, the old minister is really scared, the prince can rest assured, the old minister will go back to choose someone who can be matched for her!" ”
Jiang Wang waved his hand: "Go." ”
"The old minister retired."
Zuo Xiang left Jiang Wang's mansion and rushed home non-stop, and then came all the way to Sun Lulu's yard.
When he stood at the door of Sun Lulu's boudoir, he hesitated: What to do in there? Is it to directly ask her if she likes Zhao Kangcheng? But what if she denies it? Does that force her to admit it? But what if she is forced to admit it? Warn her to stay away from Zhao Kangcheng in the future? But what if this inspired her rebellious mentality, and even had no scruples, and approached Zhao Kangcheng more unscrupulously?
Thinking of this, Zuo Xiang had a headache, he couldn't mention to Sun Lulu that he wanted to engage her, after all, he had promised not to interfere in her marriage before, if he brought it up again, in case she asked him why he regretted it, how should he answer?
At this moment, he really hoped that there would be a woman in charge of the house, so that he would not have to worry about these things.
Otherwise, send someone to keep an eye on Sun Lulu and stop her from doing anything out of the ordinary? Zuo Xiang thought about it and felt that this method was feasible.
At this time, a maid who was waiting for Sun Lulu came over, saw Zuo Xiang, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "The slave has seen Xiangye, Xiangye is here*?" ”
"Ahh Zuo Xiang nodded.
The maid said, "It's unfortunate that Xiangye came, the young lady went out." ”
"Out of the house?" Zuo Xiang frowned, didn't he just say in the morning that he was not in the mood to go out today? "Do you know where she went?" He asked.
The maid thought for a while and said, "It seems that I went to the first restaurant in the world, and I said that I wanted to celebrate someone, but the specific slave didn't hear it clearly." "Sun Lulu usually only discusses things with Xiaocui, and these maids basically can't get close to Sun Lulu, so they don't know much about Sun Lulu's secrets.
The world's first restaurant, who to celebrate? Could it be Zhao Kangcheng? Thinking of this possibility, Zuo Xiang's face was a little unsightly, he turned around, and shouted loudly as he walked out: "Butler, butler!" ”
"Hey, hey!" When the housekeeper heard Zuo Xiang's shout, he hurriedly ran over and asked, "Master, what's the matter?" ”
"Prepare the car, go to the first restaurant in the world!" Zuo Xiang said with a slightly gloomy face.
"Okay, old man, let's go!" The housekeeper didn't ask the reason, but saw that Zuo Xiang's face was ugly, so he hurriedly went to prepare the carriage for Zuo Xiang.
Here, Cai Xiaoxiao and the three of them were packing their luggage at home to leave tomorrow, Zhang Guangzhong walked in and said to Cai Xiaoxiao and Zhao Kangcheng: "My lord, madam, there are people looking outside." ”
"Who is it?" Zhao Kangcheng asked.
Zhang Guangzhong replied: "The person who came claimed to be the personal maid of Zuo Xiang's daughter, Xiaocui. ”
Sun Lulu's maid Xiaocui? What did she come to do? Cai Xiaoxiao's eyes were puzzled, and he glanced at Zhao Kangcheng, and Zhao Kangcheng said, "Please let her in." ”
"Yes." Zhang Guangzhong turned around and left, and it didn't take long for Xiaocui to come in with him.
Xiaocui saw the two of them, saluted first, and then said: "Lord Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, my young lady heard that Lord Zhao has the title of the gold list, the top student in high school, so she specially prepared a banquet in the world's first restaurant, and wanted to invite the two of them to the banquet to congratulate Lord Zhao on the title of the gold list." ”
"No need." Zhao Kangcheng directly rejected her invitation, "We still have something to do, it's inconvenient to go to the banquet, girl, please go back." ”
"This ......" Xiao Cui didn't expect Zhao Kangcheng to reject her so simply, her face was embarrassed, and said, "Lord Zhao, Miss said, I can't delay the two of you much, Miss also really wants to congratulate Lord Zhao, please don't refuse." As he spoke, he saluted the two of them again.
When Zhao Kangcheng saw it, he frowned a little unhappily, and when he wanted to refuse again, Cai Xiaoxiao grabbed him, shook his head at him slightly, and then said to Xiaocui: "Thank you Miss Sun for your kind invitation, and please Miss Xiaocui wait for a while, and when my husband and wife clean up, we will go to the banquet." The other party is polite to invite, and if they repeatedly refuse, it seems that they do not know how to be polite.
In any case, Zhao Kangcheng's identity is not as good as before, and the superficial kung fu still has to be done well.
With Cai Xiaoxiao's consent, Xiaocui was overjoyed in her heart and said busily: "Don't worry, Mrs. Zhao and Lord Zhao will take their time, and Xiaocui will wait for the two of them at the door." So saying, he withdrew and walked to the gate to wait for the two of them.
Seeing her leave, Zhao Kangcheng asked Cai Xiaoxiao: "You don't like that Sun Lulu, why do you want to go to the banquet?" ”
Cai Xiaoxiao opened the luggage she had just packed, and while picking out the clothes from it, she said: "Although I don't like it, but she is the daughter of the left minister, and now she has sent a maid to invite her politely, and the reason is so high-sounding, if we refuse again and again, it will not be good for your reputation." ”
