Chen Ying nodded, and at the same time was also vigilant against Ji Gang in her heart, for fear that Ji Gang would stumble by wearing small shoes, so she hurriedly said goodbye and went home.

However, at this moment, Cheng Yuan was sitting in Yang Pu's house, saw the gentle and elegant Yang Pu opposite, and looked at Yang Xianzhi, who was still a scholar, and felt that he had done a good deed.

"Zhen Guogong, drink tea." Yang Pu handed over the tea, his eyes were full of satisfaction, Yang Pu's father also worked in the palace, although he was a petty official, he was also a character.

"In a few days, let him prepare the dowry and marry Qin and Jin." Cheng Yuan glanced at Yang Xianzhi: "Xianzhi, you go back and prepare." ”

Cheng Yuan saw that Yang Pu and Yang Xianzhi had something to say, so he got up and left, leaving time for the two of them to talk.

Walking to the door of Yang Pu's house, Cheng Yuan whistled not far away, and a blue horse came from behind the stone lion and snorted.

Cheng Yuan turned over and got on his horse, and Qingjian walked towards the intersection in the direction of Zhenguo Mansion as a matter of course.

"Fool, run errands." Cheng Yuan flicked his whip at Yingtian Street, and Qingjian turned his head again and changed direction.

Yingtian Theater, second floor.

Zhu Bai smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You have time to come to me, how about helping Yang Shangshu talk about marriage today?" ”

Cheng Yuan said: "Xianzhi and the second miss of the Yang family are satisfied with each other, there is one thing that is really embarrassing, then the eldest lady of the Yang family, she turned out to be the woman who bought my lip grease at the beginning, and wanted me to fool her, wouldn't it be embarrassing to see her again." ”

"It's really fateful."

Zhu Bai smiled meaningfully.

Cheng Yuan took a sip of wine and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the prince is making fun of me again, I'm worried that I won't be able to deal with His Royal Highness Xianning now." ”

"Tsk."

Zhu Bai patted the table and said with a smile: "Xianning seems to have a big temper, but in fact, this child is a simple and kind child, as long as you touch her mind, she is very obedient and has no temper." ”

"Lord Wang, next year I will start lecturing at the Zhenguo Academy, but the progress of the Great Bao'en Temple is slow, and Anne City is ready to recruit some carpenters and bricklayers, so that they can speed up the progress and do it."

"What's the difficulty?"

Cheng Yuan thought about it, but Ji Gang's matter still didn't involve King Xiang, so he said, "It's nothing." ”

Zhu Bai suddenly laughed and said, "Do you still want to hide anything from this king,

If you really encounter difficulties, this king can help you speak, and the fourth brother and I are still very friendly. ”

"Cinema, powder shop...... These, this year's profits are okay, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, this king will send someone to settle the accounts with you. ”

"It's okay, this money is just used to expand and improve the Zhenguo Academy."

While he was talking, Zhu Bai was invited by the manager of the theater, saying that the invited workers were here and asked how the theater could be changed.

Zhu Bai looked at Cheng Yuan first.

Cheng Yuan shook his head, saying that Zhu Bai decided to do these things, since he had something to do, Cheng Yuan wanted to go to the study to have a look.

After the study was smashed, he was busy with the affairs of the house and didn't care about it.

The study has been rebuilt, that is, the newly shipped books are everywhere, and Cheng Yuan threw the horse whip to the helper of the study.

"Where's Miss Xu?"

"I was invited away by the Duke of Dingguo."

"Oh."

…………

Today I was busy in Dabao'en Temple, and then I went to recruit craftsmen, and I also arranged a marriage, and went to the room behind the study to sleep under the quilt.

The sound of the workers moving stools and books in front of him gradually became quieter, and he fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up, the room was pitch black and it was completely dark.

Lying in the quilt, it was a little comfortable, Cheng Yuan turned over and took the quilt away, and walked to the front hall.

There were few pedestrians on the street for a long time, and the two lanterns at the door were fluttering in the wind, and Cheng Yuan felt a little hungry after stretching his waist.

Although he drank a few sips of tea with Zhu Bai during the day, he also ate at Yang's house, and according to the hunger level of his stomach and the pedestrians outside the door, it was estimated that the time was not early.

He glanced at Runtang and asked what Xu Miaojin usually ate when he lived here, Runtang was a young man and couldn't cook, but said that Xu Miaojin came back and went to the kitchen, which should be cooking.

The sky was cloudy with moonlight, and Cheng Yuan didn't bother to light the lantern, so he walked to the kitchen door and found that the lights were indeed on inside.

Xu Miaojin tied an apron, slowly chopping vegetables, looking in a certain direction in a daze, his eyes were not bright, and the vegetables under the knife were getting closer and closer to the blade.

The next moment, her wrist was grabbed.

"If you cut it again, these impeccable hands will become a dish, I'll do it."

Xu Miaojin hurriedly turned around, wiped his hands, shook his head and went over to get the knife, and said, "I'll come." ”

"Miss, Zhen Guogong is also in the study, do you also cook for him today?" Xu Miaojin's little maid walked in from outside and said, "Miss, this fish can be eaten and let Zhen Guogong kill it...... Fish. ”

Cheng Yuan looked at her sideways: "Let Bengong kill the fish?" Do you dare to eat. ”

The little maid looked at him, her face changed, she ran outside with the fish, cleaned the fish in a slippery manner, put it on the table, and crawled out of the kitchen.

Xu Miaojin took the fish, skillfully left the flower knife on it, and said: "Ya'er has followed me for many years, and I am not used to it, so you can bear more." ”

This little girl is teaching me how to do things, I'm just helping you train and train.

Cheng Yuan said: "What are you thinking about just now, you have a lot of worries, it's not good to cut your hand." ”

"I ...... I was thinking about the study. Xu Miaojin smiled again and diverted the topic: "Don't you go back to the Gongfu Mansion?" ”

"It's too far, I'm going to go to Bao'en Temple tomorrow, I'll go back in a few days, I'll come over today to see if Hu Guan has lost his study, who wants to fall asleep."

"Meals are ready quickly."

She put the fish on the plate and lit the fire on the kitchen stove.

Xu Miaojin's impression of Cheng Yuan has always been the impression in history, not talking about marriage, but reading poetry and books, she is a famous talented woman in the Ming Dynasty, and she rejected Zhu Di's marriage proposal.

The two elder brothers are the princes of the country, the father is the founding general, and the sister is the queen.

Cheng Yuan often comes to the study and has read some of the poems and articles she wrote, the language is like the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, fresh and elegant.

At least her literary talent can throw herself ten streets, and when it comes to seniority, she still has to call her an aunt, so it's always been. The two are not in the same circle, and even if they communicate, they only stop at relatives and friends.

Cheng Yuan couldn't help but look at his palm, last time, it was purely an accident, and when he was looking at her at the moment, he suddenly felt closer.

"Do you like the poems of the poets of the old days?"

"What?"

"The west wind blows the old Dongting waves, and Xiangjun has a lot of white hair overnight, and when he is drunk, he doesn't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of dreams and presses the galaxy." Cheng Yuan read it out and said, "I see you wrote it in the book in the front hall. ”

His contemplative kung fu.

Xu Miaojin had already steamed the fish, fried a cabbage, and burned tofu soup, and said: "Actually, An Cheng's poems and articles are three points better than mine, I thought you were used to it." ”

"No, she rarely writes poems and essays, because she can't be busy with the affairs of the house, and all kinds of trivial things are handled by her." Cheng Yuan said truthfully.

Xu Miaojin nodded.

"How about a taste?"

The two returned to the front hall, and the little maid Ya'er and the little man who carried the books also came around.

Xu Miaojin looked at him and said with some embarrassment: "I'm not good at cooking, how does it taste." ”

Cheng Yuan was already hungry, and seeing that the food was already about to start, he picked up the chopsticks, tasted a few bites and said, "It tastes very good." ”

He only got to know Xu Miaojin today, uu reading books One step forward can settle accounts, and his reputation is far and wide, and he is also a virtuous little daughter-in-law at home.

No wonder in history, Zhu Di later married her.

"It's delicious." Cheng Yuan nodded: "I'm really sorry to let you cook so late." ”

Xu Miaojin smiled: "If you don't come, I also want to eat, you're welcome." There's just no lion's head you like. ”

“………… Do you all know what I like, Your Highness? Cheng Yuan said.

"An Cheng didn't say it, it's just that she used to go to the kitchen in the middle of the night to practice making lion heads, and she consulted many chefs, so we all know it."

Cheng Yuan was stunned and said, "So that's the case, she never told me." ”

Cheng Yuan really didn't know about this.

"Miss Xu has something on her mind today." Cheng Yuan diverted the topic.

The little maid Ya'er said: "It's not our grandfather, saying that if Miss doesn't marry again, he will cut off relations with Miss." ”
