Chapter Sixty-Eight: Not the First Meeting

"Does the princess want to ask for a reward from my family?" Xiao Tianze was stunned.

Xu Jinrou bowed slightly, "Exactly, what I want to ask for is the reward of the Son of Heaven of the Western Barbarian Kingdom today." ”

"I don't know what the princess wants, what kind of reward?" Xiao Tianze looked puzzled and puzzled.

Xu Jinrou was not in a hurry, "I can't hide it, now whether it is Dachu or Ximan, there are some people who covet my maiden Xu Shilang's mansion, which is my birthplace, my relatives in my family have all died, and my mother's mansion is my only thought, so Jinrou wants to ask the Son of Heaven of the Western Barbarian Kingdom to give my maiden Xu Shilang Mansion a reward, and cut off all those attempts to have this thought." ”

"Oh, I see, so I should ask Empress Da Chu to also give Xu Shilang's mansion a title at the same time, so that good things can come in pairs." Xiao Tianze's eyes flashed with a sly light.

Xu Jinrou chuckled, "It's all up to the privy envoy to decide." ”

Like the previous life, Xiao Tianze still knows her best, if Xu Shilang's Mansion is only titled by Ximan, it is inevitable that no one will make a secret fuss, so that the people of Dachu will be dissatisfied with the princess of Jin, but if the Xiban and the monarch of Dachu are rewarded at the same time, there is only glory and no criticism.

Xiao Tianze patted his chest exaggeratedly, "This matter is wrapped up in the body of this privy envoy, and when the locust plague in the Western Barbarians is eliminated, Princess Jin is the first meritorious, and the contribution is indispensable, and this matter will be done." ”

Xu Jinrou stood up, "Jinrou has thanked Xiao's secret envoy, whether or not your mother's mansion can be preserved depends on your trouble." ”

Xiao Tianze had a smile on his face, "The princess doesn't want to be polite, please sit down." ”

Xu Jinrou sat down gently, "I don't know when I plan to transport the guinea fowl to Ximan?" ”

"This privy envoy wants to discuss this matter with the princess, of course, the sooner the better."

Xu Jinrou's face was worried, "Now that the Western Barbarian locust plague is raging, if this disaster is extinguished as soon as possible, there will be fewer lives and miserable, and if you have time to dispatch manpower, you can transport the chickens away today." ”

Xiao Tianze's eyes swept over the people of the four families, "Today, this privy envoy wants to transport the guinea fowl in the hands of Princess Jin, since the price has been negotiated and the princess has also given it generously, we Xiban will not be embarrassed anymore, are you prepared?" ”

Huo Ruyan slapped the one-foot-long hookah on the table, raised his hand and took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, "My Huo family has already prepared it, Sister Jinrou, this is 250,000 taels, you can put it away, if you want to cash it, you can also cash it." ”

Without waiting for Xu Jinrou to make a move, Huo Jinsheng got up first, came to Huo Ruyan and took the silver ticket, "I'll collect the money for the princess." ”

Then he came to Xiao Shenji again and stretched out his hand.

Xiao Shenji unhurriedly took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Huo Jinsheng, "This is the 250,000 taels of silver tickets of my Ximan Xiao family, if you want to cash the silver, it can be delivered within three days." ”

Tang Buer was a little embarrassed, "The old man with the silver ticket didn't bring it with him, please wait a while, I will go back." With that, he rushed out of the hall door in a flash, but he didn't expect him to run fast at a young age.

Feng Jiukong took out five silver tickets from his arms, "More than 200,000 taels of tickets, it is very inconvenient to use, I have 50,000 taels of silver tickets, a total of five, what else does the princess want, just mention it, my Ximan Feng family is not afraid of trouble." ”

Xu Jinrou couldn't help but thank her, Huo Jinsheng took each silver ticket and carefully examined it, and finally handed all the silver tickets in his hand to Xu Jinrou, "The silver tickets have been all inspected below, and Tong Suo is not bullied." ”

Feng Jiukong's eyes rolled up, "Long-winded! ”

Xu Jinrou looked at Xiao Tianze, "I'll go to Cuiping Mountain Chicken Farm to arrange everything, and ask Xiao Shu's envoy and the four families to dispatch manpower." ”

A gust of wind rose, Tang Buer rushed back to the hall, he panted slightly, holding three silver tickets in his hands, "This..., this is one hundred and fifty thousand taels, two fifty thousand taels, please take a look at the princess." ”

Huo Jinsheng approached again, took the silver ticket, and after careful inspection, he handed it to Xu Jinrou with both hands.

Xu Jinrou looked at the diligent shopkeeper Huo, her eyes flashed with gratitude, and the chubby round face of the shopkeeper Huo turned red.

Xiao Tianze got up, "In this way, I will accompany the princess to the chicken farm, and if you have some doubts, you can also deal with them on the spot." ”

Xu Jinrou smiled and bowed, and the money was all received, of course, this request of Xiao Shu's envoy could not be more legitimate.

Seeing Xu Jinrou get up, Xiao Tianze said: "I am afraid that it is inappropriate for the princess of Jin to accompany us to swagger through the market, it will cause unnecessary trouble, it just so happens that this privy envoy still wants to talk to the princess alone about something, if the princess is not afraid of being a lonely man and a widow, how about we ride in the same carriage?" ”

Xu Jinrou's face was stunned, and then nodded, "Now that I am carrying heavy silver, if I am alone, I am really worried, thank you for the Privy Envoy's kindness." ”

A wide carriage was parked in the courtyard of Xiban Qianzhuang, the carriage was surrounded by exquisite silk, and even the windows were inlaid with gold and inlaid treasures, shining with brilliance, and the scene in the carriage was obscured by the lilac crepe.

Xu Jinrou instructed Fang Ruo to take the first step and go to Cuiping Mountain to inform Li An to be prepared, and then she refused Xiao Tianze's support and boarded the carriage into the carriage.

The carriage was covered with a thick red velvet blanket, and two chairs carved with ornate flower and bird motifs were placed, and in the center was a purple sandalwood tea table.

Xu Jinrou felt a sense of familiarity, and her heart couldn't help but feel in a trance, the inside of the carriage was exactly the same as the previous life, vaguely as if it was just yesterday.

The carriage started, Xu Jinrou's beautiful eyes lowered and he was a little distracted, Xiao Tianze chuckled, "Don't be nervous, princess, I'm not Liu Rentu, I won't do anything to you." ”

Xu Jinrou came back to her senses, her eyes shining, "I know, Xiao Shu's secret envoy has the world in mind, how can he care about a woman." ”

The corners of Xiao Tianze's mouth rose, "The princess is wrong, I just care about you?" ”

"Well..., the privy envoy can rest assured, even if you don't care about the guinea fowl, I will take it to heart."

"The guinea fowl matter is a foregone conclusion, and it won't take long for the locust plague to become invisible, I really care about you, Xu Jinrou!" Xiao Tianze's eyes were scorching.

Xu Jinrou sneered, "The privy envoy is really joking, you and I are just meeting for the first time, where do you start talking about this?" ”

"It's not the first time you have met, does the princess remember the shore of Mirror Lake seven years ago? There is a beautiful woman in a spring shirt looking at the mirror lake, singing a poem, and then putting a lantern to make a wish. ”

Xu Jinrou shook her head slightly, "I don't remember." ”

Actually, she remembers.

It was a spring night, Xiao Tianze, who was still a spy of the Western Barbarians, infiltrated Dachu, and was chased all the way after being discovered, although he finally escaped but was also injured, he changed into clean clothes, sat in the reeds on the shore of Mirror Lake, and breathed and healed

The moonlight is half-hidden by the clouds, and the sky is full of stars, falling on the lake water like pearls sprinkled on the surface of the lake.

He heard someone approaching and chanting softly on the shore of Mirror Lake: The warm day and the sunny wind are beginning to break the freezing, the willow eyes and eyebrows are brows, and he has felt the heart of spring. Who shares the poetry of wine, tears melt and the remnants of the powder are heavy, and the golden threads of the jacket are sewn at first glance......

This is a little girl's voice, the sound of a swallow and a warbler, like an empty valley orchid.

Suddenly, a laughing voice came, "Girl, do you want to get married?" ”

"Fang Ruo, don't talk nonsense!"

"If you weren't in a hurry to put out the lanterns and make a wish to marry a wishful husband, why did the girl bring a slave here? I heard that it is very spiritual to put lanterns on the shore of Mirror Lake and make a wish! ”

"I don't have it, I just think I can see it clearly with the lanterns here."

"Okay, okay, slave maid, let's put the lantern, you can make a wish!"

"Well..., you can do it, I'll listen."

The little maid nodded helplessly, she lit the lantern, folded her hands and prayed to the sky, "I hope that my girl can find a wishful husband, and she must be brilliant or brave." ”

"I heard my father say that people with ability are either old or ugly."

"Huh? Will that be the case? That's not going to work. ”

Xiao Tianze looked through the gap in the reeds, and saw a little girl wearing a spring shirt, combing her buns, and bright eyes and teeth looking at the little maid on the side with frowning eyebrows and pouting.

"Tell me, girl, what should your future husband look like?"

"It should be handsome, dignified, both literary and brave, well..., and it must be good to me alone."

The little maid thought about it seriously, "Nowadays, which capable man is not a man with three wives and four concubines, and is only good to you alone, this thing seems to be very difficult." ”

The little girl stomped her foot hard, "No, I want him to be good to me alone." ”

The little maid nodded, "Okay, my girl's husband must be very good-looking and capable, and he is only good for my girl, and only hurts the girl." ”

"The temperament should also be good, and the family background should be comparable to me, how to say that I am also the daughter of Xu Shilang of the Ministry of War, if the family background does not match, you can't talk together, and there will be a gap slowly."

……

"Girl, didn't you say you didn't want to get married?"

"What if the spirit is gone, and the wish you make is not my heart?"

As she spoke, the little girl looked around, "By the way, what about my brother?" ”

Suddenly she saw the eyes in the reeds, and her eyes widened and she was taken aback.

Xiao Tianze knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply stood up, "How does the girl look like it?" Does it fit your wishes? ”

The little girl's face was not good, "You... Eavesdrop on us. ”

"I got here first, and I just overheard you talking." He looked helpless.

The little maid flipped her wrist and showed a short knife, "Girl, do you want to kill her?" ”

The little girl frowned, "Fang Ruo, don't fight and kill at every turn, it's not a big crime, and it's not the Western barbarian spy that my brother is looking for, so I don't need it." ”

He nodded, "The daughter of the soldier is a master of affairs. ”

The little girl looked at him, "Who are you?" ”

Xiao Tianze straightened up, "I am also a son of a family, if you don't find Ruyi Langjun in the future, and I don't marry the main family, you can consider marrying me, after all, there are not many men in this world who meet your wishes." ”

The little maid waved the short knife in her hand, "Girl, he is laughing at you, and the slave maid is going to call the young master to come over." ”

Xiao Tianze smiled, slipped into the reeds and slipped away.

In this life, when Xu Jinrou first heard Xiao Tianze talk about this, she was very surprised, and she felt a little creative and tricky, but in this life, she already knew what he was going to say, so she looked indifferent.

Xiao Tianze stared at her, with expectations in his eyes, "I haven't married a wife yet." ”

Xu Jinrou raised her pretty face, "I've been pregnant for almost two months!" ”

Xiao Tianze was taken aback, "Ah..., whose is it?" ”
