Chapter 36: Heart-to-Heart Conversation on a Moonlit Night

Song Ran looked at the person in front of him and said in surprise: "Lord Wang? ”

The duck, which had been wandering around the vegetable garden, smelled the scent of a stranger and immediately rushed to her: "Quack! ”

When King Chengwu heard the call of a duck, he couldn't help but look down, if he was not mistaken, it was a duck?

Well, it's fat.

Without waiting to speak, he listened to the little master here: "Wangcai, go aside." ”

The duck looked at him fiercely for a moment before reluctantly getting out of the way.

He raised his eyebrows again, went straight into the courtyard, and looked at it for a moment: "You live here quite well." ”

The small courtyard is tidy, and two peach trees are planted in front of the flower hall, which is full of vitality.

Song Ran looked behind him, he didn't bring an attendant, he came alone. She had just used his name to fake the tiger once, and he came on the back foot, didn't he come specifically to ask the teacher about the crime, right?

It shouldn't be so fast.

When Uncle Zhong saw King Chengwu coming, he hurriedly put down the sleeves he had tied up when he was working, and walked in front of him: "Why is the prince here, what are your orders, you can send someone to come, the humble house is simple, how dare you work for the prince." Dumb, go to Ruyi Building to prepare some wine and food, and send them as soon as possible. ”

The dumb man stretched out his hand to Song Ran, asking for money.

King Chengwu waved his hand and said, "This king is here to hide and relax, you can do whatever you want, don't be restrained." The wine and food are free, and Ruyilou is tired of eating early. He looked at the duck who was following Song Ran again, "This duck is quite fat, and it's not bad to kill and entertain this king." ”

Wangcai froze for a moment and resisted: "Quack! ”

Song Ran said: "This duck was bought to come to the door, but it can't be eaten by the prince." ”

Wangcai echoed: "Quack." ”

A month ago, it was a duck about to be plucked to the slaughter, but at the same time it was a duck with a strong desire to survive, and it was not satisfied with its fate of being brought to the table, so it broke free from the shackles while the cook was unprepared. At that time, Song Ran was wandering on the street with the mute, and in the crowd, it took a fancy to her at a glance and pounced on her......

So, Song Ran bought it home for two dollars.

When it first arrived at the Song Mansion, it was still a little unable to let go, but it didn't take long for it to regard this place as its home. Every day, I have to patrol the yard, and when outsiders visit, it must be the first to rush up, very protective and dedicated.

King Chengwu looked at it and smiled disdainfully: "Everyone else raises vicious dogs to guard the door, it's better for you to buy a duck." ”

Song Ran said: "The duck is in a hurry, but it is more fierce than the vicious dog." Thinking that he had just said that he had come here to hide, he asked curiously, "What troubles has the prince encountered?" ”

He's not in trouble.

Since he returned to Beijing, his mother Concubine Chen has been talking about his marriage in his ear every day, these years, he has been busy fighting in the east and west, naturally ignoring the love of his children, he is also a person in his twenties, and other princes at his age, the children have already run all over the ground, and it is natural that Concubine Chen will be anxious. However, he has his own ideas about starting a family. To put it bluntly, he really can't raise interest in marrying a woman raised in a deep boudoir. In his eyes, those women were like marionettes at the mercy of people, boring and not as interesting as the kabuki who sang little songs in the green building.

In order to hide from his mother, he has been in the camp in Lingbei for several days.

Coming to Song Ran here today is also a whim. This little girl doesn't say how interesting it is, at least it won't be noisy in her ears, and it won't be as troublesome as those warblers and swallows.

He didn't answer her words, glanced at the mute standing aside, and asked with an unpredictable expression, "Isn't this Mo ......?"

Isn't it the one she asked him to help with household registration?

I saw that he was dressed in coarse cloth and had a tool for planing wood in his hand. Looking left and right, it's all ordinary.

Song Ran said from the side: "Lord Wang, his name is mute." ”

"Dumb?"

The dumb man remembered what Song Ran taught him, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Thank you for the household registration." ”

King Chengwu smiled: "Isn't this able to speak." He nodded and replied, "You don't have to be polite, your master has thanked you for everything." Don't worry, this king won't ask you where you come from, but at the foot of this son of heaven, you should keep to yourself and don't cause trouble for yourself. ”

The mute said, "Yes." ”

King Chengwu picked the sword eyebrows that were raised into the sideburns again: "I heard that your kung fu is good, and you can even draw with Lord Xia, the number one master of the Imperial Guards, this king is here, and I have a few moves with you." ”

said that he didn't ask where he came from, but in fact, he had already figured everything out in secret.

The dumb man lifted his pants and showed him the scars on his body: "I have not healed from my serious injury, please forgive me." ”

Song Ran held his forehead, and King Chengwu raised his eyebrows, took off his robe and threw it to Song Ran, adjusted the bracer on his hand, and looked at him with a smile in his dark eyes: "Stop when you get to the point, if you don't fight, you won't give face to this king." ”

Song Ran hugged his clothes and smiled helplessly, this prince has a wild and uninhibited personality, unlike Xia Xiaoqiu, although he sticks people like dog skin plasters, as long as he ignores him, he can't jump up alone. But thinking of King Chengwu's provocation to Shen Hanxi on the willow shooting field that day, he was afraid that today's fight, and the dumb man couldn't hide if he wanted to.

The dumb man was still a little embarrassed, and glanced at Song Ran: "This ......"

Song Ran nodded at him: "It's just a few tricks, don't defeat the prince's prosperity." ”

King Chengwu is a noble person who has helped him, and if he refuses, he will be a little ignorant. He had no choice but to follow him to an open place and said, "Please ask the prince for advice." ”

Song Ran sat down on the stone bench, and Zhong Bo went to warm up the tea. Wangcai walked up to her feet, as if he wanted to accompany her to watch the battle.

The two put on a good posture, one is awe-inspiring, and the other is calm and waveless. As the fist moved, several birds were startled and stopped on the newly renovated roof.

The calm that filled the courtyard was soon stirred by the sound of bare-chested fights. Song Ran gradually became fascinated. King Chengwu, the most heroic prince of Dajing, even the most ferocious Mongolian wolf division is afraid of him like a god, his every move and style are accumulated in actual combat, every action is not superfluous, the move is fierce and fierce, but the dumb only dodges and does not attack, but in retrospect, it is step by step to retreat.

After nearly a hundred moves, the dumb man's footsteps suddenly staggered, and in just a moment's flaw, King Chengwu's fist had stopped in front of his eyes.

His forehead was stirred by the wind brought up by his fist.

A smile appeared on the dumb man's face: "The prince has won." ”

King Chengwu closed his fist, although he won, he was not proud: "The dumb brother is injured, and this king is not martial." ”

Song Ran clapped his hands and said, "The prince is good at kung fu!" ”

He walked to her side, sat down on another stone bench, scooped up the tea and took a sip, looked at the mute, his eyes burned: "Brother mute never thought that if you choose the right master, this kung fu will be in your pocket." ”

He has always cherished talents, and when he sees such a good talent, he naturally wants to get under his command.

When Song Ran heard this, he was a little dissatisfied: "Does the prince mean that he is a little condescending here with the people's daughters?" ”

King Chengwu affirmed her with a smile: "It's so smart, that's what this king means." ”

Song Ran couldn't really be angry with him, so he could only pour himself a cup of tea and smooth this breath in.

King Chengwu's attention was all on the mute: "Come to the king's account and give you a captain, how about it?" Although the official is not big, it is better than you digging wood in this cold courtyard. ”

Song Ran tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Lord, his deed of sale is still here with the people's daughter." ”

The dumb man stood in the breeze, and his eyebrows and eyes were still unwavering: "The prince's big tent is a place for men to settle down, but it is not my place." ”

Song Ran handed him a look of relief and affirmation.

King Chengwu's brows moved, remembering Song Ran's previous rejection of him, he already understood that neither of them was the one who coveted fame and fortune, so he didn't insist anymore.

He has a great advantage as a person, that is, he never makes it difficult for others.

"The girl is going to prepare the bar, and this king wants to have a few drinks with the dumb brother!" He glanced at Wangcai again, and said with a bad heart, "Don't you really think about killing this duck and giving wine to this king?" ”

Wangcai quickly went into the duck house, and tripped coldly halfway. King Chengwu laughed loudly: "Miss Song, the ducks in your mansion are also very interesting. ”

Song Ran said leisurely: "The prince looks at everything in other people's homes is good. Hand him his robe, "Lord put on your clothes, and take care of the cold." ”

After saying that, he asked Zhong Bo to go to drink, leaving King Chengwu to chat with the mute, and he went to the kitchen to cook some side dishes for them to accompany the wine.

The dumb man was not a person who talked a lot, but King Chengwu had seen a lot of things, and he was full of talkativeness, and when he talked about what he had seen and heard on the rivers and lakes, the dumb man gradually opened up the conversation, and progressed from ten sentences to three sentences.

Zhong Bo quickly came back from drinking and was pulled into the table by King Chengwu.

This prince has been in the army all the year round, and he drinks very well, and he doesn't get drunk even after more than a dozen glasses. This wine was drunk until dark, and Song Ran couldn't help but remind him: "Do you want to go to the prince's mansion to deliver a letter and let someone pick up the prince?" ”

He raised his slightly drunken eyes: "This king will live here today, if there is no empty wing, this king will live in the same room with the mute brother, and it is also a joy in life to talk at night!" ”

The dumb man had already been drunk by him, and when he heard this, he raised his head: "The prince should go back." ”

King Chengwu leaned forward: "Bold, do you dare to drive this king away?" Dumb brother, are you afraid of what this king will do to you? He shook his finger at him again, "You're too worried, this king doesn't have that hobby, and if he breaks his sleeves with the same person, he won't be able to look like a dumb brother." I don't know what I thought, I looked up at the stars that gradually increased above my head, "There is a Xu Junshi under the account of this king, and Miss Song also knows, that is the light wind and the moon, with tender skin, like a woman." Hahaha. ”

Song Ran said in his heart, I don't know what Xu Sanlang will think when he hears this.

The mute seemed to be relieved, and fell headlong on the table again.

Zhong Bo shook his head helplessly, got up to help him, sent him to the room, and was busy sorting out the wing room for King Chengwu. Song Ran saw that King Chengwu was silent, and called him softly: "Lord Wang? ”

He suddenly came to his senses, got up with the empty flask, and walked forward.

Song Ran was not at ease, and hurriedly followed him: "Lord Wang, slow down." If it bumps into it, the folk girl is not easy to explain. ”

Although he is a military general, he has rough skin and thick meat, but he is a noble prince in the end.

He sat under the eaves of the flower hall, looked up at the bright moon on the branches, and said: "The marriage between this king and the daughter of Mrs. Li's family will be decided in a few days, and Miss Song will be invited to the palace to eat and drink at that time!" ”
