Chapter 45: A Thousand Taels of Silver
Yuan Qi buttoned up his clothes and said to the people outside the door: "Please let them in." ”
When Ah Zhu heard this, he immediately pushed the door open and led the person in.
After Song Qiaoqiao and Song Qian walked in, they saw these two people, one sitting in front of the window and the other standing by the bed.
"You've been waiting for a long time, please be seated." Yuan Qi walked to the table and greeted with a smile.
"Lord Yuan, I'm here to get the land deed today, and this girl just wants to buy the land." Song Qian sat at the table, I don't know if he was too nervous, and he couldn't let go of his hands and feet.
Yuanqi nodded, turned his head and called Ah Zhu: "Go and get the deed of the house." ”
After a while, Ah Zhu came over with a wooden box.
Song Qian took it and looked at it, then turned his head and asked, "What kind of field does the girl want?"
When Cheng Qingwan heard this, she realized that she didn't bring any money.
"Well, I seem to have forgotten to bring money when I went out today, so let's take a look first, and then I'll come back to buy it in the evening."
Song Qian smiled when he heard this, and pushed Tian Qi to her: "Then the girl will choose first." ”
"How many fields are you going to buy?"
"Buy ten more dollars, I still have a lot of things to grow." Cheng Qingwan said while pulling Song Qiaoqiaoxuan.
Yuanqi nodded, turned his head and gave Ah Zhu a look.
By the time Cheng Qingwan had selected ten fields, Ah Zhu had already put ten taels of silver on the table, just waiting for her to sign it.
Yuan Qi received her puzzled look, so he chuckled and said, "You can send the silver later." ”
"A-Qing is lively here." A hearty voice came from outside the door, and everyone was stunned and looked at each other.
Yuan Qi's face suddenly changed, he stepped forward quickly, and leaned over slightly: "The eldest son, the fourth prince." ”
Cheng Qingwan looked at the two young men in gorgeous clothes who walked in from outside the house and frowned.
Yuan Qi was originally born in a century-old family and has a noble status, so he can be called a son, I'm afraid there are only a few princes.
Her face changed, and while a few of them were greeting, she pulled the other two to leave.
"Lord Yuan, we have already bought the land deed, so we won't bother."
Cheng Qingwan walked up to them and said with a smile.
Yuan Qi glanced at the two people opposite and nodded: "I'll let Azhu send you." ”
After speaking, he asked Ah Zhu to send people out, and there were suddenly only three people left in the house.
Yuan Qi immediately saluted and said, "I didn't know that the two Highnesses suddenly arrived, and they didn't greet them from afar, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." ”
The prince held his hand and signaled that he didn't need to be polite: "You and me, why be polite." ”
Yuan Qi poured tea for the two of them and asked softly, "Why did the two highnesses suddenly come here?" ”
"Father's micro-suit went out to the next county, and my fourth brother and I hated those songs and dances, so I came to see you." The crown prince glanced at his surroundings and laughed softly: "If you don't come today, I don't know that Ah Qing can live in such a humble room." ”
"Your Highness laughed, I don't know why Your Majesty suddenly went out on patrol?"
"Your father was impeached for embezzlement by the county magistrate for corruption during the epidemic. My father and the emperor took care of each other, so I took a few of us to pay a private visit. ”
Yuan Qi nodded thoughtfully and didn't say anything.
The fourth prince took the teacup, took a sip, and remembered the woman just now: "It's not a bad thing that A-Qing lives here, but there is a woman next to him." ”
When the prince heard this, he immediately said: "Yes, yes, who is that woman just now, you actually asked Ah Zhu to send her back personally." Explain quickly, and I'll go back and talk to your grandmother. ”
"Your Highness, don't, I just sent Ling'er back, are you going to recruit me back?"
"It's really time to add a concubine room by your side, where does that family live, but there is a marriage contract?"
Yuan Qi couldn't laugh or cry a little, and glanced at the gloating four princes: "I think Your Highness should worry about the four princes, lingering in beauty for a long time, not for physical and mental health." ”
"Eh, don't slander me."
Yuan Qi ignored his words, and continued: "Your Highness shouldn't have brought him, you don't like singing and dancing, and His Royal Highness thinks it's the favorite." ”
"Ah Qing ......"
The prince looked at the fourth prince, then at Yuanqi, and said with a smile: "Didn't you want the Cheng family's file, it just so happened that the fourth brother was also checking, I took the file away one step ago, and I brought him today." ”
Yuan Qi frowned, thinking that the fourth prince was born to the daughter of the Cheng family, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart.
He took the file and looked through it carefully.
After Cheng Qingwan arrived home, she hurriedly handed ten taels of silver to Ah Zhu and motioned for him to go back.
Then, he took a hoe, took Song Qiaoqiao and Lianzhi to the new field, planted some more wheat, soybeans and sugarcane, and left five fields, waiting to plant others.
The sky was getting dark, and when Cheng Qingwan was walking back with a hoe on her back, she happened to meet Yuanqi and the two highnesses at the door of her house.
She paused and asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong with Lord Yuan?" ”
Yuan Qi thought for a while, and then said, "The reward in the palace is here." ”
Cheng Qingwan was stunned for a moment, raised her head to take a look, and sure enough, she saw the two of them followed by a few chamberlains, so she asked softly, "Do you know what you rewarded?" If you want to, I won't let them in, I'm afraid that A-Niang will resist the decree on the spot. ”
"There is no need to face the saint, the prince is like His Majesty is here." Yuan Qi smiled and touched her head dotingly.
"This is the Cheng girl who grows tomatoes?" The prince walked up and said with a smile.
"Yes." Cheng Qingwan looked at the onlookers and invited people into the house with a smile.
As soon as the door was closed, the chamberlain took out the holy decree: "Cheng Qingwan takes the decree." ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but Cheng Hua'er reacted first: "Kneel." ”
The people in the room knelt down sparsely.
The waiter shook his head, and then recited the holy decree: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Cheng's Qingwan, young and promising, planting tomatoes for merit, special reward of silver thousand taels, make persistent efforts, admire, thank you." ”
Cheng Qingwan blinked, and kowtowed to thank the woman.
She took the holy decree and the whole box of silver, smiled from ear to ear, and when she stood up, she heard the attendant say: "Miss Cheng, I heard Lord Yuan say that you have planted some tomatoes again, Your Majesty is very interested, I wonder if you can lead me to take a look?" ”
"Okay." Cheng Qingwan nodded and agreed, leading the person to the backyard: "It's here." ”
The group looked around the green fruits that were not yet ripe and sighed.
Cheng Qingwan took advantage of this time to withdraw from the crowd, watched Cheng Hua'er leaning against the wall, and looked at the two princes with a blank face, thinking that she was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"A-Niang, what's wrong with you?"
Cheng Hua'er clutched her chest and couldn't speak.
"A-Niang, A-Niang." Cheng Qingwan suddenly panicked, and hurriedly supported her: "Qiaoqiao, come quickly." ”
Everyone heard the sound and turned around and hurriedly carried the man back into the house.
"Miss Cheng, what is this madam?" The chamberlain received the prince's eyes and hurriedly asked.
"It should be an old illness, it's fine." Cheng Qingwan got up with a frown, and took Song Qiaoqiao outside the house: "I'll go to the back mountain to find a miracle doctor, you go to boil the medicine, and then let Aunt Liu and Lian Zhi entertain the guests." ”
"Yes...... The road back to the mountain is dangerous, I'll go with you. ”
"No, no one in the house can be watching. I've been through it several times, don't worry. Cheng Qingwan touched her head, and then left quickly.
Song Qiaoqiao looked at her back, walked into the house worriedly, and did everything she arranged.
As soon as Yuanqi heard that she was going to the back mountain alone, he hurriedly got up and wanted to chase out.
"Ah Qing!" The prince stopped him violently, and then said, "The tea here is delicious, sit down and have a drink with me." ”
Yuanqi thought about it, turned his head and asked Ah Zhu to follow first, and then sat down and drank tea for a while.
After a while, thunder began to blow outside the house, Yuan Qi's face changed, and he was about to go out, when he heard the fourth prince pull his sleeve and said softly: "Jia Nei is still there, if you follow me at this moment, the third brother will definitely know, and he will definitely join you at that time." ”
"The road back to the mountains is dangerous, I have to go and see."
The prince put down the teacup heavily, and turned his head to look at Jia Neishi: "You go back first, and I will stay here with my fourth brother for a while." ”
"Yes." Janet accepted a purse full of silver and smiled as he agreed.
After he went out, Yuan Qi hurriedly put on his coat and planned to go out.
The prince looked at his rushing figure and chuckled: "It's really tempting, it seems that the second sister is completely out of play." ”
"I always thought I had seen her somewhere, but I just couldn't remember it." The fourth prince held the teacup and said with a smile.
"When you say that, I think that girl is familiar."
While the two were talking, Cheng Hua'er had already woken up and been listening to their conversation.
Yuan Qi walked halfway and saw Cheng Qingwan walking down with the divine doctor and Ah Zhu.
He hurriedly stepped forward to check if he was injured.
The divine doctor pursed his lips on the side, and said sourly: "Ouch, just a few steps, where can she hurt, I walk like this every day, isn't it still okay?" ”
Yuan Qi glanced at him and said lightly: "If you married that girl a few years ago, there would be people around you at this moment." ”
Cheng Qingwan looked at the divine doctor who didn't speak, and then smiled: "Why are you here?" ”
"Passing by, I just happened to see you." Yuanqi turned his head and said to Ah Zhu: "Mrs. Cheng is still unconscious, you take the divine doctor to see it first." ”
Ah Zhu responded, hurriedly picked up the person by the waist, and flew down with light skills.
Cheng Qingwan looked at the light work, and was very envious: "If only I could also do light work." ”
"Then I'll take you down?" Yuan Qi looked at her with a smile and said.
"No, you're still hurting, let's go on."
Yuan Qi lowered his head and smiled, leading her down.
It didn't take long for the two of them to see a familiar figure being chased by more than a dozen people in black.
"That's, Prince?" Cheng Qingwan guessed.
Yuanqi's face changed, and he was about to rush up, but he was stopped by a man in black who fell from the sky.
He sneered and hid the girl behind him.
"Lord Yuan really pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and he still has to protect this woman at this moment."
