The Past of the Middle Capital Chapter 1 Soft rice and hard eating

Next Chapter

In the capital of Li Guozhong, pedestrians on the bustling streets have solemn faces and hurried back and forth.

It's no wonder that the gloomy weather looks like it's about to erupt.

If you run late, I'm afraid you'll get soaked.

But the ruthless God, how can he pay attention to the worldly people.

Immediately, the streets were filled with shouting. But after a moment of commotion, it fell silent. Some people ran in the rain, but many more who didn't have time to run hid under the eaves on the side and talked about something.

Under the eaves of a restaurant, a childish voice came.

"It's the rainy season again, you can think about it, as long as you can provide money, I am willing to call you father-in-law."

At the same time, a slightly chubby little hand. Stretch out of the eaves and feel the coolness of the rain.

"Your Highness, you are ...... Ten years old. This is ...... Can you really ...... Decision...... Is it? There was distrust in his voice.

A boy in a delicate costume withdrew his hand from the window.

Turning around, he looked at the middle-aged man with a smile.

"Of course, as long as I am a vassal domain, it will be when my daughter and I will be married. Until then, you can do things in my name. ”

The boy had a delicate face and a look in his eyes. The fleshy face reveals a hint of nobility.

At his age, he can roughly see what he will look like in the future. The silhouette of the feminine is the kind of noble son who is loved by women.

A dress that looks simple but actually has a unique article shows his noble status.

The object of his questioning was a middle-aged wealthy businessman.

Even if the person being communicated to is a ten-year-old child, the initiative is not in the hands of an older man.

The merchant looked at his young daughter beside him with some hesitation.

The girl is also a little baby fat, and her little face is red and fluttering, like a New Year doll. A pair of big watery eyes looked at the boy in front of him suspiciously.

From the bottom up, she is also a beauty after she grows up.

Now she doesn't know the content of the conversation between the two. I don't know that the boy in front of me wants to become her future father-in-law.

"Little sister, it's cute."

While waiting for the merchant to reply, the boy walked up to the merchant and reached out to pinch the girl's cute face.

"Daddy." The girl screamed, dodging the boy's clutches.

The merchant frowned slightly at his daughter's panic. However, little other reaction was made.

"Little sister, what's your name?" When the boy saw the girl's panic, he wanted to tease him even more.

The girl behind her father timidly showed a head. He pursed his lips and looked at each other vigilantly, without saying a word.

The boy took out a jade plaque and shook it at the girl.

"Don't be afraid, my brother will give you a fun one."

Despite the rainy day, the jade still exudes a faint luster, so it attracts the attention of the girl.

She looked at the jade plaque curiously, and then turned her head to look at her father, who was still thinking.

Eventually, he hesitantly walked over to the boy. Timidly, he took the jade plate from the other party's hand and looked at it.

"Such a beautiful stone, how can there be a six-character." The girl exclaimed.

It seems that this rich businessman likes his daughter quite a lot, and he teaches the other party to read and write at this age.

A golden rope passes through the corner of the square jade plaque. The texture of jade is moist and transparent, and it is a good product at first glance. The carving on the top is even more delicate, with a dragon pattern symbolizing the power of the royal family on one side and a delicate six-character figure on the other.

Just as the boy was about to brag to the girl, the merchant noticed the daughter's exclamation.

When he saw the jade plaque in the other party's hand, he was shocked.

Hurriedly snatched the jade plaque, respectfully handed it back to the boy, and said apologetically: "The little girl doesn't know the etiquette, please forgive me for offending Your Highness." ”

The boy shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly and took back the jade plaque. He also smiled at the scared girl and told the other party not to be afraid.

Then, when he turned to the merchant again, his face changed, and he said with a little impatience: "How are you thinking about it?" My time is precious. ”

The immature voice didn't feel anything to others. But for businessmen, it's like a talisman.

After some struggle, the merchant looked at his frightened daughter, closed his eyes a little unbearably, and made up his mind.

"Your Highness, the untouchables are willing to sacrifice their daughter to you as a concubine. After that, it will also contribute to your floating wealth. In the future, it is up to you to take care of it. ”

As he spoke, the merchant lifted his robe and prepared to kneel down and salute.

The boy hurriedly stepped forward to stop the other party. At the same time, he said with a happy face: "It's okay to agree, no need to make a big gift." After all, in the future, I will call you Lord Yue. ”

After that, the two also discussed, and many related matters were finalized.

The businessman's gaze changed from hesitation and disbelief at the beginning to a look of admiration.

"Your Highness, what a far-reaching vision. The untouchables are really throwing themselves to the ground. ”

"In the future, don't be a pariah, just communicate with your son-in-law normally. I'm not an adult now, and most of the things outside the palace can only be done by you. In the palace, I still need the belongings you give me to take care of the top and bottom. Otherwise, many things will be more troublesome. ”

The boy smiled, and his tone was unhurried.

"That old man might as well be respectful." The businessman changed his title.

The two of them were embarrassed and embarrassed, and they were all seen by the girl.

Although she didn't understand what they said, she vaguely felt that these two guys were beating her attention.

Because when the two communicated, they looked at her with a smile on their faces from time to time. This made her feel offended.

Bad guys, with bad daddy. The girl thought indignantly.

She didn't know how to hide, and her fleshy little face puffed up.

How do you get rid of this bad guy?

The girl was thinking about how to deal with the boy when she suddenly found herself in mid-air.

"Little sister, you will call me Xianggong in the future."

The boy looked at the girl in his arms and laughed.

"Let go of me, you bad guy. Daddy, help me. ”

Being held in the arms of a strange man made the girl ashamed and anxious, struggling frantically in the arms of the other party.

For his daughter's call for help, the businessman also had a headache and didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, seeing that the other party kept making trouble, the boy had no interest in teasing and put it down.

"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss, let you down."

As soon as the girl landed, she ran behind her father and cried with tears in her eyes.

"Daddy, why don't you care about this rude fellow. Just let him bully me like this. ”

Seeing his daughter's aggrieved appearance, the businessman looked embarrassed. If it were an ordinary person, his character as a calf protector would have started a long time ago.

But this boy is an existence he can't afford to offend, and he can't say anything even if he has an opinion.

Besides, in the future, the other party will marry his own daughter. Now, he has no good reason to stop this kind of non-conformist behavior.

After gently reassuring the girl, the merchant smiled at the boy with an awkward, but not impolite smile.

This behavior is particularly dazzling in the eyes of the girl.

I thought that my father didn't want to be for himself, so he would just get justice. Now, it's still flattering each other like this.

Thinking of this, the girl who was born to be spoiled sobbed with red eyes.

Looking at his future little wife, crying. The boy's face was a little hung up. I thought: I'm really cheap.

He began to search his body, thinking of something he could coax the other party.

As the girl's crying intensified, the boy walked up to her, took out the jade plaque from earlier, and shook it a few times.

"It's me who is wrong, okay, this thing was given to you, so it should be compensated."

The gentle voice made the girl stop crying for a while.

Seeing the boy in front of her, her body trembling because of sobbing still retreated uncontrollably.

After confirming that the other party had no misdeeds, she looked at the jade plate.

Then she turned her gaze back to her father. It seems that he is asking for the opinion of the other party. Obviously, the girl also knew the value of this jade medal and did not dare to make a decision.

Feeling his daughter's gaze, the merchant hesitated.

"Your Highness, is this too precious?"

"It's all family, what's here."

The boy was noncommittal and shoved the jade plaque into the girl's hand.

Buying is very effective, even for a girl. After the father acquiesced, the other party snatched the jade plaque from the boy's hand, broke into tears and laughed, and played with it.

Seeing that the other party's mood improved, the boy took the opportunity to close the distance.

"My name is Sima Liang, little sister, what's your name."

As he approached, the girl glanced at it vigilantly, then looked at the jade plate in her hand, and hesitated for a long time before she said a little shyly, "Tang Bao'er." ”

"Bao'er, that's so cute. She is also beautiful, and she must be a good girl when she grows up. Sima Liang's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.

"Ascend to the disciples." Tang Bao'er blushed and hid to her father's other side.

Hahaha, Sima Liang laughed.

The merchant scratched his scalp in embarrassment, and thought to himself: This highness is too precocious, he is only ten years old, and he has learned sweet words. also teased his daughter in front of his father-in-law.

As he pondered how to solve the embarrassing situation, there was a knock on the door for help.

"Your Highness, it's almost time, it's time to go back." A feminine voice came from outside the door.

Looking at the rain scene outside the window, Sima Liang frowned, and then sighed helplessly.

"It's time to go back, and the next ten years depend on Lord Yue. There are very few opportunities for me to come out, and most things will be conveyed to me by Xiao Shunzi. If there's something to do, just look for him. ”

After saying this, he Sima Liang wanted to pinch the girl's face, but was cleverly avoided by the other party.

"Someday, I'll pinch your face." He laughed and pushed open the door and walked out.

Outside the door, a handsome young man with a soft face stood respectfully by the door with a cloak.

After Sima Liang came out, he hurriedly put on a cloak for the other party.

After tying the cloak and strap, he asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, are you done talking?" ”

"From now on, he will be my father-in-law." Sima Liang responded in a low voice.

The boy nodded, asking no more.

After putting the mantle over the boy's face, he led the other man downstairs. The feminine appearance of the young man, coupled with the boy who is dressed up strictly behind him. It has attracted the attention of many people in the restaurant.

Quite a few people pointed at the two.

"It's a pity, with such a handsome face, it's a little eunuch."

"Eunuch? Then next to him is a palace person? ”

"That room is Old Tang's private room, right?"

"It seems that he has stammered with a nobleman."

"He's going to Tengda, but he doesn't know what price to pay."

"I am willing to get out of the lowly status at any cost."

……

Listening to these people's words, the young man's face was displeased, and his pace slowed down a little.

He didn't care about the other party talking about him, but when it came to the master behind him, he couldn't bear it.

"I don't care, let's go back quickly. Otherwise, if we are discovered, you and I will not be able to explain. ”

Sima Liang saw his thoughts and reminded him in a whisper.

"Yes."

The teenager who was reminded came to his senses and quickened his pace.

Raindrops fell on paper umbrellas.

A small paper umbrella can't stop the heavy rain.

Strange to say, as soon as they left the restaurant, the rain became heavier.

In order to avoid the rain and fall too much on the owner, the young man propped up his umbrella on the other party, and most of his body was exposed to the rain.

This situation made Sima Liang a little unbearable, but he knew that he couldn't persuade the other party. I had to speed up my pace and hurry back to the palace.

Soon, the two stopped.

The majestic city walls, with the vermilion gates, and some armor-clad guards, make people afraid to approach.

"Xiao Shunzi, the Six Emperors' Palace."

The guards examined the soaked papers, checking the boy's identity.

When preparing to verify Sima Liang's identity, Xiao Shunzi stuffed a few pieces of broken silver into the hands of the guards.

Then, whisper a few words in the other person's ear.

After listening to the words, the guard's attitude changed and said respectfully: "It's offensive, please don't care." Come in. ”

In this way, the two entered the deep palace under each other's smiling faces.

Back in the familiar hall, Sima Liang took off his cloak.

"Xiao Shunzi, you take off your wet clothes and take a hot shower. After that, just rest. It's rainy, and it's easy to get sick. Later, just let Sister Xiaoyao serve me. There was some concern in his tone.

"Your Highness Xie, the slave is really honored." For the owner's concern, Xiao Shunzi knelt on the ground and thanked him again and again.

Sima Liang has seen this situation many times, but he still can't accept it. I thought: What a sin in this world. Fortunately, my identity is a prince, not an ordinary person.

After his repeated persuasion, Xiao Shunzi was flattered and left the hall.

After the other party left, a girl with a slight appearance walked into the hall.

"Your Highness, I have already boiled the hot water in advance. Do you want to bathe first? Or do you eat meals first? The girl asked respectfully.

"Let's take a bath"

Even though along the way, Xiao Shunzi tried his best to keep out the rain, but the rain still wet his body. Now Sima Liang is wet and uncomfortable. So decided to take a hot shower first.

The girl took the order and told him to wait for a while, and then go down and prepare herself.

It's also strange to say, in the small courtyard, there seem to be only two people serving Sima Liang.

According to his status, there were seventeen or eighteen servants, which was not much. It seems that for some reason, he is not very popular in the palace.

Probably because of this, he will go out and find a rich father-in-law for himself to improve the current situation.

While waiting, Sima Liang looked at the gradually lightening rain outside the house, and had more expectations in his heart.

"At least, there is a rich father-in-law now. In the future, with his offerings, life should be better. ”

The eight-year-old face said these words in an old-fashioned manner, which was a little abrupt. The only thing that can explain this is that there is a kind of soul that does not fit the age in the immature skin.

It is estimated that it is a relationship between one person, and the girl has been preparing for a long time. This made Sima Liang's stomach protest.

When he was thinking about whether he wanted to go and eat something first.

The girl ran back to the hall panting, and made an apologetic salute.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's fine."

The other party's apology, Sima Liang didn't care very much. He also knows that there is a lot of hot water to prepare for bathing. The girl's hands in front of her were burned red, as if she had done her best.

When the girl was grateful, he was taken to the basin.

"How's the temperature?"

"Almost."

When the girl heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he helped Sima Liang take off his shirt.

Seeing that he cooperated with each other very tacitly, it seems that it is not the first time, nor is it the last.

Regarding serving the bath, Sima Liang has said many times before, just come by yourself. But every time he said this, the other party put on a blow as if he was hit, he didn't let the other party be sad, he could only cater to it.

When only the last pair of pants remained, the girl blushed and left him for the time being

"Comfortable."

Sima Liang, who soaked his body in warm water, was full of pleasure.

"It's a great feeling to be in the bath."

With his eyes closed, he enjoyed the tranquility of this moment.

After a while, footsteps were heard in his ears.

The rest is self-evident.
