Hearing this, everyone looked at Chu Lixue again, Prince An, who is known as the virtuous king, King An is not only the royal family, but also rarely participates in party struggles, and his status in the hearts of hundreds of officials is extremely high.

When everyone heard this, they nodded their heads One after another, this is indeed the case, but will King An agree? Who will ask King Ann to come forward? For a while, everyone was in trouble again.

"Then I'll go." Ding Guogong said lightly.

As the royal prince, Dingguo Gong is the niece and son-in-law of King An, so it may be easier to open his mouth if he has this relationship. Immediately, Dingguo Gong looked up at Chu Lixue, and his eyes were telling Chu Lixue that you should also go with him, Chu Lixue understood, nodded towards Ding Guogong, and immediately retreated.

I have heard that King An likes landscape painting and music rhythm, if you start from his interest, maybe the possibility of success is greater, thinking of this, Chu Lixue wrote a copy of the famous song Guangling San, ready to send it to King An.

Xiangzhi watched from the side and said softly: "County Lord, do you only prepare gifts for King An?" And what about Princess Ann's? If you please Princess An, maybe she will say a few good words for us. ”

Xiangzhi, Princess An died many years ago, King An and Princess Plaice have a deep relationship, Princess An has not continued since Princess An died, and she is only faint to the side concubines in the house.

"In that case, King An is still an infatuated species, county lord, that Prince An has been alone for so many years, who will believe it." Xiangzhi chuckled.

"Xiangzhi, the prince is not something you can talk about casually, beware of being heard and causing trouble." Chu Lixue said sharply.

This Xiangzhi, even in the Dingguo Mansion, can't be so wantonly and vainly, who knows which of the so many people in the mansion is a fine work sent by someone else's mansion, Chu Lixue couldn't help but slander in her heart.

"County Lord......" Xiangzhi said with red eyes. She was very aggrieved in her heart, she was the personal maid of the former county lord, how could she say that the former county lord was the biological daughter of the eldest princess and the Duke of Dingguo, so she didn't criticize her harshly, and what about this in front of her? It's just a righteous girl, who ran out of the wild valley, why can you criticize her.

"County Lord, are you there?" The butler's voice sounded outside the door.

"Butler, come in." Chu Lixue said softly, and immediately picked up a teacup on the table, and poured a cup of brewed red date longan tea for the housekeeper.

"The old slave has seen the county master." The butler saluted respectfully.

"Butler, excuse me, is there something you are doing here at this time?"

"County Lord, Tomorrow Grandpa Guo will take you to visit King An's Mansion together, this gift, the eldest princess told Dingguo Gong that it was handed over to you to prepare, I don't know what the county lord has to order?"

Chu Lixue pondered for a moment, "Housekeeper, is there a true handiwork of Wu Daozi in the mansion?" ”

"There is a pair, Wu Daozi's landscape painting, is the county lord planning to send a painting? So what else is needed? ”

"No need, the gift is not more but the fine, King An likes landscape painting and music, so naturally he wants to do what he likes." Chu Lixue said lightly.

Hearing this, the housekeeper turned around and went to the warehouse, found the landscape painting of Wu Daozi in a large sandalwood box, and then returned to the courtyard where Chu Lixue was.

Chu Lixue opened the painting scroll and saw that it was really worthy of being a hundred generations of painting saints, and his landscape paintings were the scenery of Shu Road, and he was a family, "That's it, just go find a brocade box and put it in a while." ”

"County Lord, do you really just send one painting?" Although the painting is beautiful and worth a lot of silver, it is a bit too stingy to give only a painting to the prince.

"Don't worry, if you send too much gold and silver treasures over, do you want people to say that the Dingguo Mansion is looting the people's wealth? Or is it that the Dingguo Mansion sells its reputation and reputation? ”

"Selling fame?" The butler wondered. After the disaster broke out, Dingguo Gong had already sent most of the grain and grass in the granary to the disaster area.

Chu Lixue glanced at the housekeeper and said lightly, "A few days ago, our mansion also had Dingnan Wangfu, Chenwang Mansion, and Jiang Guogong's Mansion all donated a lot of food to the disaster area, which is originally a good thing, if you prepare a whole car of gifts and silver money tomorrow to give to King An, what will the people say when they see it?" The people will think that the Dingguo Mansion sells its reputation and reputation, and if it has money, it is only used as gifts, but it cannot be used for disaster relief, doesn't this wipe out all the good deeds done by the father? ”

Hearing this, the housekeeper was slightly stunned, why didn't he expect this layer, it was really thanks to the county lord's reminder, otherwise he would really ruin the reputation of the Dingguo Mansion.

In the early morning of the next day, Dingguo Gong was waiting in the front yard in a royal blue royal robe, while Chu Lixue was wearing a pale pink palace robe, and three thousand green silks were erected. With a hairpin, a shallow smile blooms on the face, and the skin without powder is fair and smooth. Tender, watch the fairy descend from afar.

"The daughter has seen her father, and she has kept her father waiting." Chu Lixue saluted respectfully.

"It's nothing, my father has just arrived, and the housekeeper said that you only selected a landscape painting of Wu Daozi to give to King An, right?"

"Yes."

"Well, you're doing a good job, and your mother is very pleased."

"Now is an extraordinary time, the Dingguo Mansion is already on the cusp, if you are not careful, your reputation will definitely be damaged, and we need to be more careful in the future."

"yes, the car is ready, let's go." Ding Guogong said lightly.

Sitting in the carriage, about half an hour later, he came to the door of King An's Mansion, Chu Lixue stood at the door of King An's Mansion, looking at the surrounding environment, there was always an indescribable wrongness.

The little guy at the door saw that it was the carriage of the Dingguo Mansion, and went in at a very fast speed to report, and after a while, King An came out to greet him.

"Oh, Brother Liu, why do you think you came to me, it's really a rare guest." King An said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, do you think I'm moving around less? Rong'er was a frequent visitor to your house before. ”

"It's not, it's a pity that Rong'er is a child...... Alas, please hurry inside. An Wang continued to smile.

Chu Lixue followed behind Dingguo Gong and walked into King An's Mansion, as soon as she entered the door, what was different from Beppu was the lush towering trees, no pavilions and water pavilions, and no luxurious decorations.

"Hehe, let the lord of Qinghe County smile, after the death of the princess of this king, this king will not take care of her flowers and plants, so he will plant trees instead, so that he will not have to worry about it." King An said with a smile.

"It's also good to plant trees, it's lush, it has a unique taste, and it's also a good place to escape the heat in summer."

"Hahaha, I can't imagine that you, a little girl, can actually understand my old man's thoughts, come here, go and prepare tea and snacks to entertain distinguished guests."

Walking into the room, Chu Lixue's feeling came again, there was a faint smell in the house, it seemed that she had smelled it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

After the maidservant prepared the tea and snacks, King An smiled faintly and said: "Brother Liu brought the county lord to me as a guest today, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as being a guest, is there something that needs the king's help?" ”

"Hahaha, Brother An is refreshing, I am also refreshing, Brother Wang knows that the treasury is empty, but the people in the disaster area are waiting for the silver two to rebuild their homes, and I have already handed the emperor an excerpt, please let the court come forward to borrow money from the rich families and princes and nobles in the city, but this person is ......"

"Do you want this king to do it?" King An said lightly. There was still a gentle smile on his face, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"That's true, the prince is known as a virtuous king, and everyone must believe in you more."

"This high hat brought me how good it is. Girl, what are you holding in your hand? King An looked at Chu Lixue Dao.

"Back to the prince, what Qinghe has in his hand is a landscape painting by Wu Daozi, which is specially brought for you to appreciate and appreciate."

"Oh? Is it the true work of Wu Daozi? ”

"Exactly."

"Wu Daozi's paintings are rare, especially his ...... What's that? ”

"Did the prince say that Wu Daozi's Heavenly King sent a picture of his son?"

"Yes, it is the picture sent by the king of heaven, and it is a treasure that is difficult to find in the world, but this landscape painting is also very rare, you see this painting style, it is really a good painting in a school of its own."

"That's true, I heard that Wu Daozi once completed the mural of more than 300 miles of landscape on the Jialing River within the next day." Chu Lixue smiled lightly.

"Okay, girl, I didn't expect you to know this at such a young age, come to think of it, the person behind the proposal to let this king persuade them to donate is you." King An looked at Chu Lixue and said softly.

"Since the prince has seen it, then Qinghe will admit it, if there is any prince who criticizes, Qinghe listens." Chu Lixue said with a well-behaved appearance.

"Okay, then the king promised you this, but you also have to promise this king one thing."

"What's the matter, please tell me."

"This king doesn't say it now, it's okay to talk about it when this matter is done, it's just that girl, you actually agreed so quickly, but it was beyond the king's expectations." King An smiled and patted Chu Lixue's shoulder and said.

Suddenly, the smile on Chu Lixue's face was closed, this smell, this smell again, where did he smell it, why can't he remember it at all?

"Girl, what do you want?" King An saw the change on Chu Lixue's face, and then said lightly.

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just thinking just now, which one does the prince want to borrow money from?"

"So what do you think?"

"Wei Guogong's Mansion, three months ago, Wei Guogong's 60th birthday, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military have sent a lot of congratulatory gifts, and in the past two years, the harvest on the Zhuangzi of Wei Guogong Mansion has also been quite rich."

"Okay, then everything is up to you." King An laughed. But Chu Lixue couldn't laugh, maybe it was out of a woman's intuition, she always felt that there was something wrong with this Anwang Mansion, but she couldn't see it for a while.

What's more, although King An is famous and famous, everyone is afraid to avoid such a thing as a gunman, but he can agree so easily, absolutely just because he is a good king. Also, what kind of requirements will he mention to himself at that time?
