Chapter Twenty-Nine: Destroying Wealth for Eliminating Disasters
When he left the palace gate, he saw his father Xiao Xiang walking back and forth at the door, with a worried face. Xiao Mengyao called Xiao Xiang from afar, and walked quickly to his father.
Looking at Xiao Mengyao, who was running out of breath, Xiao Xiang looked distressed: "My poor boy take a break, I have heard about this palace, you, you, why don't you tell your father about these things in the shops under the Xiao Mansion, and face it alone." This Changle county lord is really, he can't keep the man and spill his resentment on you, it's too much, tomorrow in the court, I must talk about Prince Yu's dereliction of discipline. Xiao Xiang chattered and complained.
Meng Yao looked at such a father and tears flowed down without warning, and responded with a smile with entrained tears: "Dad, daughters must always learn to grow up, but they can't always hide behind their father." ”
Xiao Xiang gently wiped her tears for Meng Yao: "You are Daddy's baby, even if Daddy protects you for the rest of your life, even if you marry into the Six Kings' Mansion, as long as you are wronged, Daddy will take you back to live in your parents' house without saying a word." ”
"Dad, what are you talking nonsense, how can my daughter let herself be wronged, I'm so hungry after tossing for so long"
"Okay, let's hurry back home and make you your favorite food"
"Xiao Xiang, Miss Xiao stay" Mu Linghan appeared to stop the two who were leaving, and then said: "This king implores Xiao Xiang to let me talk to the little girl. ”
At this moment, Xiao Xiang blew his beard and glared back: "What is there to say, don't talk to you and suddenly come up with something old and soft to harm my family Mengyao." ”
"Song Xinrou's matter, this king promises that it will not happen again." Mu Linghan had no resentment in the face of Xiao Xiang's ruthlessness, and still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, which was not the same person as Mu Linghan who killed all sides on the battlefield.
Meng Yao coughed and gently pulled Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang shook his head helplessly and then said, "Don't say it for too long, I will watch your every move from afar." ”
The two came to the side of the palace gate, looked at each other without saying a word, and looked at each other for a long time.
"I ......"
"You ......"
The two spoke at the same time, followed by a burst of silence, Mu Linghan subconsciously cleared his throat and said with a little apology: "I'm really sorry for Song Xinrou's matter today, but I have never had a lover affection for her, and you are not a person with horizontal feelings." Blame me for not dealing with the damage caused to you by the people around me. ”
"Lord Wang, I have never suspected that there is a different kind of affection between you and the Lord of Changle, and today's events are uncontrollable. The county lord of Changle was already dissatisfied with me, and the more the prince took care of me, the more she had to take care of her, and the prince could not control the emotions and behaviors of others. ”
The two exchanged heartfelt words and then fell silent.
Xiao Mengyao looked at the palace gate and said with a fluttering gaze: "Lord Wang, it's not early, and I'm tired." ”
Mu Linghan looked at the figure of the carriage leaving Xiao Mansion and was reluctant to leave for a long time, until the carriage disappeared from his sight.
Song Xinrou, who was escorted back to the house, made a lot of noise for a while, kept throwing things in the house, scared the maids so much that they didn't dare to squeak, and they all hid far away.
"Fooling around, it's just that my father spoils you too much on weekdays, and lets you act so arbitrarily!" Prince Yu suddenly appeared, looked at the broken teacup thrown in front of him, and shouted Song Xinrou.
Song Xinrou saw that her father, who doted on her on weekdays, was so angry, and she still didn't repent and shouted: "It's all why you and your mother just don't want to ask the saint for marriage, so that Xiao Mengyao can take the lead, and now her daughter has nothing." ”
"Emotional matters can't be forced, not to mention that you think the emperor can make decisions about the marriage of the six princes? Do you have to let the sixth prince refuse to kiss fiercely and make you the laughing stock of this southern country before you are willing to turn back? ”
After hearing these words, Song Xinrou sat on the ground weakly, Prince Yu patted Song Xinrou on the shoulder and said bitterly: "Daughter, find a husband who loves you for your father, let's not surrender our identity and self-esteem to pursue a man who doesn't have you in my heart, okay?" ”
Song Xinrou didn't reply, and sat still for a long time.
Prince Yu shook his head helplessly and left.
When night fell, a black figure sneaked into Xinrou's room, and when she saw this black figure, Song Xinrou was about to scream, and was covered with a mouth.
I saw that the man ripped off his mask: "Meet the Lord of Changle." ”
Song Xinrou couldn't believe that the person in front of her was Gu Lanshan, and she looked puzzled, and then put on the posture of the county lord and said arrogantly: "What do you want to do in the county lord's room?" ”
"Naturally, I want to help the county lord get the heart of his beloved, is the county lord really willing to turn his beloved into someone else's husband and share a white head with other women?"
These words poked into his heart all of a sudden, but Song Xinrou was not stupid, and still maintained the nobility of his county lord: "Why do I believe that you can help me, not to mention that my reputation has already been lost now, if Mrs. Pei wants to deal with others, it is better to ask for another high." ”
"The county lord is scared? You really don't want to regain the love of the six princes? Seeing Song Xinrou's face wavering, he then added a fire: "If the county lord loses his body and the sixth prince, you say that the dignified sixth prince and your childhood friendship will not be responsible, even if you don't want to be responsible, do you think your parents will let him go??" ”
Song Xinrou had a sly look in her eyes, got up from her seat and took Gu Lanshan's hand affectionately, and said with hope in her eyes: "Let's hear it." ”
Gu Lanshan whispered unhurriedly in Song Xinrou's ear.
Song Xinrou frowned after hearing this, and asked half-incredulously: "Is this ...... Really? As far as I know, the Six Kings' Mansion is not so easy to get into. ”
"I can actually come up with this idea, there must be a way, you just need to pretend that you don't know anything, and look like you're being bullied."
Early in the morning, Xiao Mengyao came to a manor and looked at dozens of carts of large boxes in front of her, checked and checked all the items under the leadership of several shopkeepers, and showed a satisfied smile in her mouth: "You guys did a good job, remember not to show your identity too much during transportation, and don't say it when you arrive at the army, just inadvertently show the token of Xiao Mansion in a place where there are people." The road is difficult, safety first. ”
After a while, Xiao Mengyao and several shopkeepers watched a group of mighty teams set off towards the frontier, in addition to their own people, there were also hired dart bureau capable people.
"Miss, why do you say that you are transporting so many supplies to the army so deliberately concealed?" But he was puzzled, "This direct admission can also receive a wave of praise, and now this low-key behavior is not recognized by anyone, wouldn't it be a pure injustice." ”
"Kemei, if you see this wave of people on the road, how will you react?"
"Then the first reaction must be to be surprised at what this wave of people are going to do."
"As long as people are curious, they must go back to find an answer, and the answer sent to the door will be forgotten after listening to a few sighs, but the answer they find will be passed on by word of mouth. Although the people in the army are not in the capital, how can the officers of my Xiao Mansion who receive supplies not know. The more I deliberately kept a low profile, the more I was praised from the bottom of my heart for my selfless dedication and helping others. ”
"But the master is already so prestigious in the court, why bother to waste money like this?"
"It's not enough, now my father seems to have a status in the court, but he is like a tiger. The more prestigious it is, the easier it is to be suspected of having two hearts, and what I want to do is to make everyone feel from the bottom of their hearts that the Xiao family is silently serving the country and the people, and the money earned is returned to the construction of the country without reservation. What's more, Song Xinrou's recent incident came out, and the popularity of the store is really poor, and one thing is needed to start the brand image. ”
"Miss, this is killing two birds with one stone," but he looked at the long line of departing figures, as if he had seen the benefits that Miss had said.
A month is not long, and it is not short. In the past few days, it has been circulated among the people that a rich man sent a team to the frontier with a lot of materials to find it, and met poor people on the way, and the people of the team were also very generous to help, resulting in a popular folk song:
Strong winds, torrential rain
The salvation team is not afraid
The family is bitter, and the baby is hungry
The salvation team is here to help
Hope for the stars, hope for the moon
Hopefully, there will be no disaster in the ranks.
But he described with affection that he had heard all kinds of glorious deeds of the Xiao family's material team among the people, his eyes were full of pride and pride, and even his tone was quite imposing, as if others were praising themselves.
Xiao Mengyao was amused by Ke Mei's colorful description and dancing expression, and repeatedly said that Ke Mei should not be a storyteller, but it was too condescending to be a maid for herself.
Ke Mei was also slightly displeased when she saw Xiao Mengyao's teasing, and bluntly said that Miss Don't want to fool herself into leaving to tell stories to everyone, she is only willing to tell Miss alone, even if others spend a lot of money, they will not be poached.
Xiao Mengyao was even more amused by Ke Mei's slightly proud loyalty, but Ke Mei saw that the young lady's little face was holding back tears at the moment, and subconsciously wanted to stop Xiao Mengyao's ridicule, the two masters and servants fought like this, and the maid who was listening to the story also joined in this frolicking when she saw this, and the courtyard was not lively and full of laughter for a while.
