Fourth party

Chapter 183: The Fourth Party

The family did not ask Zheng Qingluan about the details of entering the palace. This made Zheng Qingluan secretly relieved

At this time, Zheng Qingluan was on Yanxia Mountain, and the water of the mountain stream fell from a high place, hitting the mountain rocks heavily, and after being torn apart, it gathered into a deep pool. The pool is bottomless, and occasionally a few fish jump out of the water, causing a circle of ripples on the surface of the water.

She sat on the stone by the waterhole, her eyes calm.

Sometimes when I think about it, I actually think that this emperor is really naïve and ridiculous. Putting aside the previous grievances and grievances for the time being, let's just talk about the current moment What is the reason for him to believe that after he calculated Xiao Yunfeng and her again and again, the two of them will still ignore their past suspicions and respond to his needs

Just because of the hostages in his hands, he has nothing to fear?

Zheng Qingluan sneered

Are she and Xiao Yunfeng like people who can't fight back and scold back, do you know where your weakness is, can you still make any arrangements, let you handle it

The emperor asked Xiao Yunfeng to go to the south, he went, but what was the result, he did train a sailor for the imperial court, but he secretly trained one for himself, and it was stronger than the one handed over to the imperial court, if one day, if there is really a confrontation, the difference in combat power is doomed to the imperial court to win, and what is even more terrifying is that every army has a certain character and temperament, and this character and temperament are often determined by the chief commander of this team. No matter how time changes and how personnel change, this temperament and character will not change. Expecting them to aim the weapons in their hands at the Xiao family is simply a fool's dream, which is why Xiao Yunfeng handed over the military power so neatly.

Xiao Yunfeng captured the Wa Kingdom to open up territory for the imperial court, but the wealth he got from it was enough to support several Xiao family troops.

Who gets the greater benefit here, Zheng Qingluan can't calculate it himself. How could this emperor make a request so calmly, and how could he think that Xiao Yunfeng would actively cooperate without complaint

and her Zheng Qingluan

Emperor Tai'an knew that she was good at using soldiers, and she was good at using strange soldiers, in other words, such people were cunning people, Zheng Qingluan also commented on herself, counting on people like her to be as frank as a gentleman, Zheng Qingluan scoffed

Why do you have to listen to whatever he says, I owe you or you should be, you are allowed to calculate me, I am not allowed to keep a hand for myself, what kind of robber logic to hell with

I want her to be a third-party force to restrain the Praetorian Guard and the Guard, hehe, it's so beautiful that you, if I mix it in, it's really awesome

My aunt would prefer to be the fourth referee

The corners of Zheng Qingluan's mouth twitched, revealing a slight mocking smile.

Baiyi had been silently following behind Zheng Qingluan, and it was almost evening at this time, and the wind in the mountain stream was a little shaded. She took out the single cloak and put it on Zheng Qingluan's body, "The master is windy"

"No" Zheng Qingluan smiled slightly, "If we don't fan it, we won't be able to get up any wind."

Baiyi smiled slightly, knowing that what the master told her was not the same thing at all, and she didn't ask deeply. One hundred and two looked at Zheng Qingluan, and then looked at the branches swaying in the wind, forget what the master said, it is what he said, and if there is no wind, it should be regarded as no wind. She looked at Zheng Qingluan's cloak flying in the wind and thought embarrassedly.

Zheng Qingluan arranged for everyone on the mountain to celebrate the festival, and went down the mountain.

In the past two days, the Zheng family has been very lively, and the rituals in the capital have surged over after Zheng Qingluan came back from the palace. Everyone who can use it at home has gone to make zongzi

No matter who the family is, the Boxing Rite is the same Zheng family's special zongzi.

"It's better to make it in a restaurant" Zheng Qingju slammed the door again, and he was also tired enough by this battle, and couldn't help complaining.

Zheng Qingluan rolled her eyes vigorously, when this person was not satisfied, she really wanted to let the restaurant be customized, and she should feel sorry for the unnecessary money.

Speaking of which, Zheng Qingluan just came up with a small idea. But the things that Qian and the mother-in-law in the kitchen have studied are obviously up to the next level. There are jam dumplings, for example, hawthorn sauce, apple sauce, bayberry sauce, marmalade, peach sauce. There are flower sauces, such as roses, chrysanthemums, plum blossoms, osmanthus, lotus. Dried fruits are preserves, for example, walnuts, pine nuts, lotus seeds, dried apricots, raisins.

Meat filling, such as beef, lamb, pork, fish, chicken. Stuffed seafood, such as scallops, prawns, crab roe. Even if there are only three or five of them for each family, there are quite a few of them.

Zheng Qingluan has not tasted everything. I chose a few things, and the taste was not bad. A few words of praise, but it just doesn't stick to the handbag. If this thing is wrapped into a big one, she will still be successful, so small and delicate, don't be embarrassed for her, and don't spoil things. When she replied to Zheng Qingju like this, she was kicked out of the kitchen.

The busyness before the Dragon Boat Festival has reduced the enthusiasm for the festival. Finally, I don't have to be busy anymore, I just want to take a break, how can I have a holiday mood. The second room is to come over for a meal, and everyone gets together to talk about the short words of the parents. Because Erlang had to go back to the palace on an errand the next day, he went back in the middle of the afternoon.

As for dragon boat racing, it is more popular in the south. In the north, there is no place for dragon boat racing.

The custom in the north is to hang incense sachets. The sachets embroidered with the five poisons must be hung up by adults and children, the poor and the rich.

Zheng Qingluan himself hung a sachet made by the Qian family, not embroidered with five poisons, but made into a sachet in the shape of a toad. This kind of thing is the same as a little doll, only children wear it, Zheng Qingluan frowned and looked at it over and over, although the handiwork was average, it couldn't be compared with embroidery, she still appointed it to hang it on her waist obediently. Although it looks a little silly.

"Master" Xiao Er whispered, "There was really a commotion in the city"

Zheng Qingluan nodded, a smile flashed in her eyes, "Our chance has come" She instructed Xiao Er, "Let them be ready and obey orders at any time"

There was a faint smile in Xiao Er's voice, and he went down in response.

"Master, has our arrangement worked" Baiyi came in with a yawn and turned up the light in the study brighter.

"I said that if you want the wind to rise, it has to be the wind that we fan," Zheng Qingluan poured another bowl of strong tea.

Baiyi re-brewed tea for Zheng Qingluan, "The Praetorian Guards and the Guards are really fighting in the kiln, they really don't have a brain," there was some disdain in his tone. Although there are people from the master's faction fanning the flames, this is too useless to even see this idea. To tell the truth, the master has prepared a lot of things, and they haven't used them yet

"The tension on both sides is not a day or two, and the friction from time to time has already sparked, but there is no suitable outlet for catharsis, and now a little fanning is blown, and the spark will not burn immediately. Zheng Qingluan smiled, his tone full of schadenfreude.

Baiyi was speechless for a while, and the people were a little bit rubbing and starting a fire, but the master fanned the wind with one hand, waiting for the fire, and prepared the bucket early with the other, is it really good to wait for the virtue of extinguishing the fire, don't think that she doesn't know why Xiao Er went, that is to organize people to extinguish the fire at any time.

She really wanted to come up and ask, is it fun, what is your old man's plan?

The next day, Baiyi got the answer she wanted to know.

Early in the morning, an unexpected guest visited Zheng Qingluan.

The person who came was noble, and it was the eldest daughter of Prince Rui, Song Yufu, the lord of Lin'an, who was known as the lord of the county.

"You girl, you are so at ease" Song Yufu smiled and took Zheng Qingluan's hand and looked up and down, "It's been a few days since I came back, and I haven't had a chance to see each other, if I hadn't acted as a microphone this time, I don't know when I would have had the opportunity to meet."

Zheng Qingluan did not see Song Yufu in the Zheng family's Zhuangzi. Because Song Yufu was not only noble, but also the same generation as Zheng Laosan and the Qian family, Zheng Qingluan was still a little uncomfortable when his parents knelt and kowtowed at every turn. What's more, this time the two are talking about business, and the courtyard of the Xiao family in Yanxia Mountain is obviously more suitable.

Even if he was held by the big county lord, Zheng Qingluan was still blessed, and he was regarded as a courtesy. She smiled very kindly, "It's really my mother who thinks I'm too angry and not good to meet guests, so I quit." The tone was very sincere, a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

The big county lord has also heard some rumors, she nodded understandingly, "It's hard for you" is very embarrassed, "I originally wanted to talk about it, but this time I came here with an errand, let's get down to business first." ”

Zheng Qingluan smiled in his heart, after all, he was born in the royal family, even if he was inadvertent, he also revealed a prestige that could not be refused. She put herself in the right position and looked like she was listening carefully.

"The guards and the Praetorian Guards are facing each other at the West Fourth Gate, there are thousands of people, and there is a word from the palace, let you let the other party return to the camp as soon as possible. The big county lord looked at Zheng Qingluan and finished speaking word by word.

"Leader" Zheng Qingluan did not have the slightest superfluous expression on his face.

Hurting the sky and hehe royal people, they can really put gold on their faces

She turned around and shouted faintly, "Guo Feiyan"

I saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in a military uniform dodging out from behind the pillar, "Please command, master"

"I heard the words of the big county lord," Zheng Qingluan looked at Guo Feiyan's eyes with a smile, but his tone was majestic.

"I heard it" Guo Feiyan didn't look at the big county lord, in the eyes of Xiao Jiajun, the master has never had a court that does not support them, and don't fill the master's money in front of them. There was no intention of stepping forward to salute.

"Then let's do it" Zheng Qingluan ordered lightly, and then made a gesture of invitation to the big county lord, and stopped caring about it.

"Command" Guo Feiyan didn't say a word, turned around and left. A thousand people sounds like a lot, but it's on the street, and it can't be lined up at all. It's really open, and it's not much different from a hooligan fight. As for asking the master to make such a fuss, to be honest, if they were left in the border city, the old, weak, sick and disabled patrolling the streets would be able to solve them.

Song Yufu saw Zheng Qingluan like child's play, and asked a little girl to lead the troops. I really don't know what to say, but this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, once there is a conflict, the consequences are unimaginable. What else did she have to say, here Zheng Qingluan didn't seem to pay attention to its progress, and really regarded her as a guest at the door, and led her to visit Yanxia Mountain with great interest, "I love the water in this mountain the most, and there is aura that makes the entire mountain forest come alive." "Laughing Yan Yan, he doesn't care about it at all.

Song Yufu: ""
