Chapter 132: Cheng Yutang Visits
It's over, and I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out.
A trace of resentment flashed in Cheng Shuiyao's mind, but because the current occasion was inappropriate, he didn't show his thoughts on his face at all
The prime minister's wife on the opposite side obviously thought so, and didn't even give her one more look, and helped her subordinates to hurriedly enter the palace.
Seeing this, Cheng Shuiyao directly slowed down and deliberately kept a relatively large distance from the prime minister's wife.
"If it's so slow, won't it make the queen think we're disrespectful?" Xiao Yun frowned, feeling that Cheng Shuiyao was a little too slow.
"You don't understand, some things are not good if they go early." Cheng Shuiyao gave Xiaoyun an unfathomable look, and unhurriedly moved forward at the original pace.
Xiaoyun nodded as if he didn't understand, didn't say anything, and followed Cheng Shuiyao slowly.
Although the palace gate is not close to the harem, Cheng Shuiyao has really walked for a long time, and it is only when the sky is bright that it can no longer be brightened, it can be regarded as arriving at the palace where the queen is located.
"Why is the General's wife walking so slowly?" The Prime Minister's wife slowly turned her head to look at Cheng Shuiyao at the door, her tone was not difficult, but more of a mockery.
"It's coming to the end of the year soon, Niangniang is in charge of the six palaces, and I'm a little tired when I want to come these days, and I can let Niangniang rest for a while," Cheng Shuiyao didn't want to suffer this loss at all, and opened her mouth with a smile on her face, as if she was bent on the queen.
When the prime minister's wife heard this, she looked directly at the queen, and saw that the expression on the latter's face was not serious at all, so she knew that Cheng Shuiyao was a trick, and her heart suddenly became cautious.
"You have a heart," the queen waved her hand slightly, and stretched out her hand to point to the lower position on her right side.
Cheng Shuiyao saluted slightly and sat down on the position of the queen's finger.
After that, there are all kinds of boundless nonsense, Cheng Shuiyao doesn't say much, only occasionally mixes in two sentences.
But fortunately, it didn't take long for other concubines to come, and the whole palace was lively, and it didn't matter if Cheng Shuiyao opened her mouth or not
Cheng Shuiyao is happy to be idle, eating some pastries from time to time, and has the right to relax here.
Xiao Mansion, Xiao Ji was sitting in the study, looking at the letter in his hand with a relaxed expression.
Recently, the prime minister has not made any crooked thoughts, and his various arrangements have been implemented relatively well, and the preliminary plan has basically taken shape, and I think it will be carried out according to his plan after the next year.
"Childe," the butler suddenly walked in with a subtle expression, the expression on his face a little tangled.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ji raised his eyes and saw the housekeeper's expression, his face was a little cold.
"Lord Cheng's family is here, saying that they want to visit Mrs. Cheng."
The butler bit the last four words very hard, obviously knowing that their intention today was not so simple.
"Madame is not in the house at all, who are they visiting today?" Xiao Ji scoffed at this and shook the pen in his hand slowly.
Cheng Yutang can do this job, so he will naturally leave a lot of eyeliner everywhere, according to his methods, how can he not know where Cheng Shuiyao is today.
I'm afraid that this time I came today, the visit is fake, and the inquiry is real.
"Then we can't see each other?" The butler looked hesitant, obviously unable to make up his mind.
This matter was not something he could decide, so he hurriedly ran over to ask Nie Yuanheng's opinion.
"See, why don't you see it," Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you know what this old fox is thinking if you don't see it?" ”
"Then I'll invite them to sit in the main hall now, and you can clean up and come over later," the housekeeper instantly understood what Xiao Ji meant, and turned his head to do it.
Put in order?
Xiao Ji glanced down at his shirt, and he didn't mean to change it at all.
This shirt is not luxurious, but it is more than enough to meet Cheng Yutang.
But he still has to hang Cheng Yutang for a while.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ji hooked his lips slightly and sat back in his place unhurriedly.
On the other side, Cheng Yutang's family arrived in the front hall under the guidance of the housekeeper, and the housekeeper did not dare to slack off at all, and there was no omission of all kinds of etiquette, so that they couldn't find fault with it.
"Please take a moment, my son-in-law is still preparing," the butler leaned over and poured the tea, and the few people who rushed it smiled slightly.
His eyes fell on the second lady of Cheng Fu, who was obviously well-dressed on the side, and the housekeeper had a calculation in his heart, and there was a little more disdain in his eyes when he looked at Cheng Yutang.
In the past, when the Xiao family was down, he was reluctant to send his baby girl over, but now that the Xiao family is prosperous, it is really shameful for him to think about it again.
Cheng Yutang didn't see the housekeeper's eyes, so naturally he didn't know what he was thinking, but he bowed slightly, indicating that he was clear.
"You take care of Lord Cheng's family, and you must not be slacking off." The butler deliberately glared at the people waiting on the side, signaling them to be smart.
After speaking, the housekeeper smiled at Cheng Yutang's family again, turned around and left here.
"Daddy, what does this Xiao Gongzi look like?" Cheng Jia's second lady, Cheng Yuan, covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes full of yearning.
She is not stupid, she guessed the purpose of Cheng Yutang bringing her here today, and she has heard a lot of legends about Xiao Ji, so she naturally has some expectations for this influential figure.
"Don't talk nonsense," Cheng Yutang glanced at the people around him who were not squinting, and made a silent gesture.
There are a lot of people here, and they are all from the Xiao Mansion, so they can't show some horses' feet.
"Oh," Cheng Yuanyuan didn't get the answer he wanted, and nodded a little reluctantly, but he didn't say anything more, and sat down properly.
It's just that I didn't expect this to be an hour.
The tea in their cups was changed several times, and Xiao Ji appeared at the door.
"I'm really embarrassed," Xiao Ji looked apologetic, "There are too many things in the barracks, I have dealt with them for so long unconsciously, it is really rude, and I ask Lord Cheng to forgive me." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, General Xiao is young and promising, and he is naturally busy on weekdays," Cheng Yutang didn't know that Xiao Ji was giving himself a horse, and his heart was like a mirror, but his face didn't show it at all.
He has been an official for so many years, and the most thorough thing he has learned is to look at people's faces, otherwise he would not have become such a high-ranking official at such a young age.
"It's good that Lord Cheng doesn't mind," Xiao Ji waved his hand, sat down in his place, and punched Cheng Yutang slightly, "I don't know why Lord Cheng's family suddenly visited Xiao Mansion?" ”
"Counting the time, we haven't seen Shui Yao for a long time, I couldn't pull away before, so I couldn't come for a long time, but now that I finally have time, I naturally want to come and see Shui Yao." Cheng Yutang opened his mouth without leaking, looking at that look, as if he really cared about Cheng Shuiyao
