Chapter 163

Song Nan rode through the bustling streets on horseback, the warm sun in February sprinkled on his body, and the warmth was very useful, but Song Nan had no intention of enjoying it, he was seriously thinking about Zhang Yong's words.

He inadvertently came into contact with the crown prince, so he was awarded the position of East Pavilion, but he provided himself with an opportunity to contact the future emperor, although he was a little slow to realize this, but judging from Zhu Houzhao's attitude towards himself, this prince is still quite humane; However, it caused the uneasiness of Liu Jin and others around him, but Song Nan did not expect it in advance.

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are already well-known, to put it bluntly, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is to use the power of the eunuchs in the inner court to compete with the Wenchen Xunqi, the way for the king must be to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and engage in the art of balance, which side is big, which one is convenient to be suppressed. Relatively speaking, the power of the inner court actually comes from the emperor, which is why Liu Jin and others are dissatisfied with themselves, whether the prince is favored or not basically determines how much power they have in the future, and they really should not block the road of Liu Jin and others competing for favor, on the contrary, they want to have a good relationship with them.

Although according to Zhang Yong, Liu Jin is fierce and cruel, and it is impossible to make friends as friends, but he can't be friends, but he can't be enemies, and people who belong to the same prince have common interests. No matter how hateful his actions are, it is not his turn to point fingers at the moment. In the final analysis, he is just a small person beside the prince, and his own job is still the thousand households of Jinyiwei, and whether he can make any more progress in the future depends on the business at this time.

Song Nan made up his mind to find an opportunity to have a long talk with Liu Jin, the entry point is actually very simple, he is a foreign official, no matter how good the prince is to him, he will not threaten the power of Liu Jin and others in the inner court in the future, and he will not cut his eggs and enter the palace as a eunuch.

For Liu Jin to take the medicine of the tiger and wolf and prepare to lure His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to taste the joy of adulthood, Song Nan didn't feel any fuss, sooner or later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will 'have 3,000 beauties in the harem, and the iron pestle will be sharpened into embroidery needles', what needs to be done is not to stop it, but only to remind him not to be too lazy about beauty and ruin his body.

Song Nan rode back to the yamen and slipped around, there was nothing big in the yamen, sat for a while, made tea and blew cowhide with a few subordinate officials, and then got up and went home for lunch; Since the newlywed, Song Nan has not eaten much in the yamen, firstly, he has nothing to do in the yamen, and secondly, he is already a person with a family, so he should go home if he has nothing to do.

As soon as he entered the front yard, a servant stepped forward and led the horse to take care of it, and Uncle Zhong hurried from the front hall, holding a famous post in his hand and said, "Young master, someone sent a famous post in the morning, saying that he invited you to a banquet in the evening." ”

Song Nan has received a lot of posts like this recently, and he didn't care about it, he glanced at it randomly, and said, "I know it." ”

Uncle Zhong followed behind and said, "That person also said that he is the old man of Ulzhou Mansion." ”

Song Nan was stunned for a moment, turned around and reached out to grab the worship post to tear it open, only to see that it was written: The old man Fang Datong visited Song Qianhu, and held a banquet in the Chunfeng Building in Zhengnanfang in the evening, and invited Song Qianhu to go to reminisce.

Song Nan frowned and said, "What did he do when he saw me?" ”

Uncle Zhong said, "Does the young master know him?" ”

Song Nan said: "Uncle Zhong, you also know this person, when I joined the army in Ulzhou, this person also came to congratulate, and he was Lord Fang of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei in Ulzhou at that time. ”

Uncle Zhong thought for a while and said, "I still have some impressions, isn't it the military attache who is extremely strong and shrewd?" ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "It's him." ”

Uncle Zhong muttered: "I haven't seen him come to the capital for so long, and the young master came when he was promoted, so it can be seen that he is not a sincere person." ”

Song Nan smiled and didn't answer, and walked through the front hall to the back hall; In the courtyard, Ye Fanggu was stirring on the flower bed with a hoe, and some seeds were spread out in a cloth bag, Song Nan tiptoed over, hugged her and smiled: "What is Fang Gu doing?" ”

Ye Fanggu was startled, and said with a blank look: "The flower bed is empty, and the flower seeds must be sown at this time." ”

Song Nan smiled: "Of course you dig those two peony flowers will be empty." ”

Ye Fanggu said angrily: "It's not for you to dig it, let's go into the room, someone is angry." ”

Song Nan smiled: "Qingli? Why are you angry? ”

Ye Fanggu said: "How can Qingli be angry if she has no heart and no lungs, your little county lord is here." ”

Song Nan was taken aback, this little county lord has become more and more diligent in coming and going to his own house, just like visiting relatives, he has come five or six times after the year, did Zhang Lun and his husband acquiesce?

"I'll take a look, I have a headache." Song Nan turned around and walked into the house.

Ye Fanggu's voice came: "I'm afraid I'm very happy." ”

Song Nan pretended not to hear it, entered the house, lifted the curtain and drilled into the Qingli room, only to see Lu Qingli and the little county lord sitting and standing together, the little county lord pouted and looked displeased, and Qingli whispered something on the side.

Seeing Song Nan coming in, Lu Qingli stepped forward and said, "Brother Song, the little county lord is here." ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "Hello county lord, I came here to have lunch together." ”

"Don't eat it." The little county lord shook a hard sentence.

Song Nan was stunned, Lu Qingli stepped forward and pulled his arm out, his eyes blinking as if he had something to say.

Song Nan was pulled outside by her and asked, "What's wrong with her." ”

Lu Qingli's face turned red and said, "I'm angry." ”

"Why are you angry about her, did I mess with her?"

Lu Qingli said: "It's not you yet, when I got married, I said that I would tell her first, you said that you were afraid that she would hide it from her, but now that she knows it, she is naturally unhappy." ”

Song Nan frowned, the little county lord knew that he had Lu Qingli and Ye Fanggu by his side, and he also said that he didn't care when he was affectionate, he had seen too many such things in the big family, not to mention anything else, there were as many as 100 concubines around Zhang Mao's old man alone, she shouldn't be angry about this.

Song Nan thought for a while and said in a low voice: "You go and order someone to prepare a meal, and I will enlighten her." ”

Lu Qingli said: "Haosheng said, don't be angry with her, she also brought me a wedding gift." After that, he showed his wrist and showed Song Nan a string of bright and large beads.

Song Nan let go of most of his heart and brought gifts to congratulate him, which meant that there was nothing serious; Just as he was thinking about it, the little county lord inside began to shout: "Song Nan, Song Nan, get in." ”

Song Nan scratched his head and lifted the curtain to come in, and the little county lord stood up with an angry face, and his mouth was pouting to hang the toilet.

"Son, why are you unhappy? Which one of the little county lords has offended the little county lord with no long eyes? Song Nan stepped forward with a smile.

"It's you, who don't have long eyes, and I treat you sincerely in vain." The little county lord stomped his feet.

Song Nan said: "You shouldn't be annoyed by the fact that I accepted Qingli for the side room." This is a matter that has been settled a long time ago, and I can't break my promise. ”

The little county lord said angrily: "Who cares about you, let me ask you, why are you marrying Sister Lu and hiding it from me." ”

Song Nan scratched his head and said, "This ...... It's not hiding it from you, maybe you are busy and forgetting. ”

The little county lord said angrily: "You just don't pay attention to me, maybe you think I'll be noisy, I ask you, who am I?" ”

Song Nan smiled bitterly: "This...... How shall I answer, who are you...... Well......" Song Nan said in his heart: You haven't reached that point yet, your grandfather and brother can't wait to castrate me, and it's not right to say that you have nothing to do with me, the two have kissed dozens of times, and this relationship is really difficult to describe.

"Girlfriend! Yes, you're my girlfriend. Song Nan finally found the right word, although there is no girlfriend in these years, but this word is the most appropriate to describe the current relationship.

"Bah, wow, I just know now that I'm just a friend in your heart, okay, even if I'm blind, I'll ...... go" The little county lord stomped his feet and left, and tears glistened in his eyes.

Song Nan hurriedly hugged him and said, "Girlfriend is the meaning of the future lady, isn't this heavy enough?" ”

The little county lord turned his head and said, "Really? ”

Song Nan said: "The sky is proof. ”

The little county lord rolled his eyes and said: "This is about the same, where did the strange words come from, let me ask you, since you are the future lady, why don't you invite me to take a concubine, shouldn't my wife be drunk with a cup of tea?" ”

Song Nan almost fell down, this little girl actually put on the style of an eldest woman, when it was a big deal, it turned out to be to lose face, the question is that even if I intend to marry you, haven't you passed the door yet?

"You're angry about this?"

"Yes, I'm your future wife."

"Please, you and I haven't married yet, the six wedding ceremonies have not been done, and the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders are not at all, if I put you in the hall to be served tea by Qingli, won't your grandfather and brother bring the palace guards to raid my home?" Song Nan couldn't laugh or cry.

"So I can only get tea when I get married?" The little county lord was stunned.

"Yes, my aunt." Song Nan couldn't help her.

"Oh, that's my mistake, I apologize to you, but I will have to make up for it in the future." The little county lord is as if nothing happened.

Song Nan was sweating, so he had to nod and agree: "Go eat, hey, it's really yours." ”

The little county lord smiled: "Don't be busy, I have a gift here, how can I not give a gift when you get married." ”

Song Nan said: "Didn't you give me amber?" ”

The little county lord pursed his red lips and said, "That doesn't count, this time I stole a purple clay pot from my grandfather to give it to you, don't you like to drink tea?" Yixing purple clay pot, made by Wang Dezhang, a famous Zhao Song dynasty artist, plus a pot of grandfather's West Lake Longjing new tea. ”

As soon as the little county lord raised his hand, a small wooden box appeared in his hand, and Song Nan said with a smile: "No wonder people say that girls are extroverted, and women don't stay, you move like a mouse like this, your grandfather is afraid that he will blow his beard and stare angrily." ”

The little county lord smiled: "Whatever, do you like it?" ”

Song Nan picked up the little county lord and said to her red lips: "I like it tightly." ”
