Chapter 26: A Promise

Before Qingguo Gong's words fell, Xiao Zheng saw a general wearing a military uniform of the National Protector Army walking towards the living room. The appearance is quite similar to Qingguo Gong, with dark skin, uniform body shape, and relatively developed muscles, a typical military image.

Qingguo Gong has two sons and a daughter, both of whom are from Mrs. Shen, the eldest son Cui Zhenshan guards Yongzhou for his father, and the second son Cui Zhenhai serves as General Wupin Chenlong in the National Protector Army.

Cui Zhenhai came to the living room and saw a young and handsome young man, who should be His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"General Cui doesn't have to be polite," Xiao Zheng turned around with a smile and sat down on the chair just now.

Later, Mrs. Shen had already stood up, "You can listen here, my mother will go and prepare some food." ”

Cui still wanted to get up with him, but was pressed into the seat by Mrs. Shen again, and then she turned around and went out. As soon as Cui Zhenhai sat down, he heard the voice of someone behind him, looked at Xiao Zheng, who pretended not to know, and laughed a little embarrassedly, "Hehe~ I don't know what Your Highness is doing here today?" ”

Well, this family should be an ancestral rectum. There was no way, Xiao Zheng briefly repeated what he had just said to Qing Guogong. Cui still listened more seriously than Mrs. Shen in the back, and occasionally worried about Xiao Zheng.

Later, Qingguo Gong arrived in the backyard and saw that his wife was already arranging the meal, so he nodded, "It's still Mrs. Xian, I know that His Royal Highness is dining in the house today, and everything has been arranged, haha~"

"Hmph, you think they're all like you, like a 'fool'?" Mrs. Shen looked at Qingguo Gong with disgust.

Qing Guoqing looked innocent, "What's wrong with me?" Did I make a mistake again? ”

Mrs. Shen looked at him making a mistake and didn't know it, and was depressed, and asked Qingguo Gong directly, "What do you think Your Highness is doing in our house today?" ”

"His Royal Highness came back from the Criminal Department, passed by our house, and came to visit me by the way" Speaking of which, Qingguo Gong also felt very face-saving.

"Ouch, why is your face so white? I don't think you're confused about big things, and you don't know anything about small things! Mrs. Shen glared at Qing Guogong and said with a puzzled expression.

"You said Your Highness didn't come by the way?" Qing Guogong thought about it and seemed to understand something.

"Hey, you finally reacted" Seeing that her husband finally figured it out, Mrs. Shen's face looked a lot better.

Seeing his wife's expression, Qingguo Gong approached her and whispered, "Then you said that His Royal Highness came to visit me on a special trip?" So what did he do? Let me help him come up with ideas on the case? ”

Mrs. Shen hurriedly pushed Qing Guogong aside, acting like I didn't know you, "Do you think your brain can give him ideas?" ”

"What do you mean? Didn't let me come up with an idea? So what did he visit me for? Qing Guogong didn't understand again.

"If you think about it, he can think of you without your daughter?" Seeing that he was really stupid, Mrs. Shen didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and took the initiative to remind him.

"Oh~ I see, are you saying he's still here?" Qing Guogong clapped his big hand and suddenly realized, "No wonder I wanted to send him just now, but I didn't send him away." ”

Mrs. Shen looked at him without speaking, and asked him with her eyes what to do now? Qing Guogong didn't hesitate, "Then arrange to sit with him and chat with him at that time."

"What do you mean by lightweight, sitting together before you get married? When it is spread, people should say that we have no rules" Mrs. Shen is still very traditional at this point, otherwise she would not have chased Ruyuxuan.

"Hey, they are all children of the rivers and lakes, what are the rules and regulations, this will be married immediately, what are you afraid of?" Qing Guogong was magnificent, and waved his big hand, "Okay, let's serve the food, I'll call them to eat." ”

"Alas..."Seeing that her husband turned around and went to the living room to call them for dinner, Mrs. Shen couldn't say anything.

Qing Guogong came to the front hall, saw Xiao Zheng chatting happily with his son, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the meal is ready, let's dine together." ”

Xiao Zheng and Cui Zhenhai stood up together, "Then disturb Qingguo Gong", and also heard the voice of Cui still leaving in a hurry behind.

"Alas, don't bother, come as you want in the future, haha~" Knowing that the purpose of coming now is simple, anyway, he has already made a marriage, and he doesn't care about these so-called rules.

Xiao Zheng smiled and walked with them all the way into the dining room. The dishes were ready, and Qing Guogong stretched out his hand to invite Xiao Zheng to take a seat. Xiao Zheng didn't take his seat, but he bowed and saluted, and the frightened Qingguo Gong hurriedly turned sideways to avoid, "Your Highness, why is this?" ”

Xiao Zhengzheng said, "Since it is a family banquet, it is natural to talk about the rules of the family, although this king and still have not yet married, but the name has been decided, this seat is naturally the father-in-law to sit, how can there be a reason for the younger generation to sit down?" ”

"This..."Qing Guogong felt that it was still inappropriate, his concept was that there were monarchs and ministers first, and then there were fathers and sons, and to do so was to mess up the Gangchang, and it was absolutely impossible to do it.

At this time, Mrs. Shen took Cui Zheng's hand and walked out, Cui still lowered his head shyly, and did not dare to look at Xiao Zheng.

Mrs. Shen also heard Xiao Zheng's words just now, "Since His Royal Highness has said it, the lord will sit in the first place, today is a family banquet, and it is all a family, otherwise it is still not easy to sit~" He glanced at Qingguo Gong as he spoke.

Looking at Mrs. Shen's eyes, Qing Guogong felt that it made sense, just let his daughter sit next to Xiao Zheng, if Xiao Zheng sat first, her daughter would also have to sit next to her, after all, she is not married yet, and she is not the crown princess, and it is not appropriate to sit on the top of her parents, so just sit according to what the prince said.

"Hehe~" Thinking of this, Qingguo Gong didn't dwell on it anymore, "Then according to His Highness's intentions, His Highness will sit next to the old minister, and still sit next to His Highness." ”

Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes in one sentence, Cui was still blushing, and Xiao Zheng was also slightly embarrassed.

Everyone also knew the character of Qing Guogong, so they didn't care, they sat down and started eating.

At the beginning, he was relatively restrained, but after three rounds of drinking, he knew that Xiao Zheng really did not meet everyone, so he began to relax.

Xiao Zheng saw that the time was ripe, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at the still with a smile, "That's right, I passed by Ruyuxuan today, and I heard the shopkeeper say that a new batch of jade jewelry has arrived, have you gone to check?" ”

Cui still only came back from Ruyuxuan yesterday, didn't Lao Li say that there were no new goods? He didn't know what Xiao Zheng meant, so he could only follow his words and say, "I haven't had time to go yet." ”

Such as Yuxuan? Qing Guogong didn't know what was going on, and just wanted to ask was kicked by Mrs. Shen, and then pretended to bow his head to drink tea and whispered to him, "If you don't know, shut up".

"Ruyuxuan has new updates about every seven days, after all, Shopkeeper Li is old, it is inevitable that there will be negligence, when the time comes, you can go to check to see if there are any omissions."

"Hmm~I know~" Cui still whispered yes, she immediately understood, this is an agreement with her to go out on a date with Ruyuxuan every seven days.

Mrs. Shen also heard the implication, thinking that the fox's tail finally leaked out, I sometimes go once a month and don't see a new update, do you dare to say, update once every seven days? I'm afraid this rule is set for my daughter, you are blatantly asking my daughter out.

But I can't say it to refute Xiao Zheng's face, and her daughter has already agreed, and she is also happy to be a good person, "This can't be negligent, these jade jewelry are precious items, and it's not safe to hand them over to outsiders, still, you have to go around more in the future, you know?" ”

Seeing Mrs. Shen so up-to-the-top, Xiao Zheng didn't mind putting a high hat on her, "What my mother-in-law said, I can go and get more familiar with it if I have nothing to do in the future, and take my mother-in-law and second sister-in-law to see if there are any suitable jewelry to choose from." ”

How can there be a woman who doesn't like flattery and jewelry, as soon as Mrs. Shen heard it, she knew that what she said just now was not in vain, "Your Highness, you don't have to be polite, since you are all a family, you will come often in the future, and just now the master also said that he would help you staff on the political affairs of the court." ”

"Ah, yes, yes," Qingguo Gong saw that Mrs. said this, and echoed it, "Come often in the future, hehe~"

As soon as Xiao Zheng heard that this was going to send off the guests, he had already said what he was going to say anyway, so he stood up after eating and drinking, "I really disturbed my father-in-law and mother-in-law today, it's not too early, so this king will leave first." ”

Qing Guogong didn't say nonsense about you sitting down again, I was afraid that he would really agree and flash his old waist again, so he hurriedly said, "Then the old minister will send His Royal Highness", and stood up as he spoke.

Qing Guogong and Cui Zhenhai sent Xiao Zheng away together, Cui Zhenhai looked at Xiao Zheng and looked at Qing Guogong, "Dad, what is Your Highness doing today?" ”

Qingguo Gong glared at him, "You are really Lao Tzu's seed!" He turned around and went back to the house, leaving Cui Zhenhai with an unknown face.

The night is thick, the breeze is gradually rising, Zhuang Xing has been waiting for the news of Longhumen with his eyes closed, he has already explained, no matter how late it is, as long as there is news, he will report it immediately. Listening to the hurried footsteps outside the door, Zhuang Xing instantly opened his eyes, saw someone coming, and asked urgently, "But there is news?" ”

The person who came was happy, "The master of the door, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

Zhuang Xing was also in good spirits, "Say it quickly, what news?" ”

The person who came didn't dare to delay, and directly reported the news he got: "Fang Shisan took the order to kill Lord Xu Duo, and the last person I saw before was Ma Yitian, the deputy hall master of the Yuzhou Martial Arts Hall on West Street in Beijing!" He is a well-known broker in western Beijing. ”

"Oh? What about horses and people? Bring it to me! When Zhuang Xing heard the news, he immediately realized that this was an important clue.

"The horse has been killed one day, and it should have been killed before Lord Xu Helm was killed." Seeing Zhuang Xing's face change, he immediately said another piece of news, "The people from the Shadow Division also found out about him, if it wasn't for the people from the Shadow Division who went to check last night, the Yuzhou Martial Arts Hall wouldn't know that Ma Yitian had been killed." ”

"The Shadow Division also found out about Ma Yitian, that should be the news that Fang Shisan gave them, that is to say, someone found Fang Shisan through Ma Yitian, and asked him to kill Xu Yingxia and kill him, and then killed Ma Yitian to extinguish his mouth, so who was the last person Ma Yiyi came into contact with?" Zhuang Xing peeled back the cocoon little by little, as long as he found a suspicious person, he could continue to track it down.

"My subordinates understand, and my subordinates will investigate!" After saying that, he turned around and left immediately, disappearing into the night.
