Chapter 151: Shallow Knowledge, Two Conditions
Chu Gongzi is a foreign man.
Although Chen Anning didn't care about this kind of rule, he only met him in the Evergreen Hall in the outer courtyard.
"I didn't expect Miss Chen Er to come back to the capital so soon," Chu Gongzi said with concern, "I heard that Miss Chen Er encountered a lot of interceptions on the way back to Beijing, and she was not injured, right?" ”
Chen Anning: "No. ”
"That's good." Young Master Chu handed over the two rosewood boxes, "This is what my father asked me to transfer to Miss Chen Er." Father said that Miss Chen Er was running all the way, and it should be difficult to rest well, and he hoped that these two ginseng branches could make Miss Chen Er make up for her body. ”
Chen Anning opened the wooden box, looked at the ginseng that was better than the ones Wen Qinsang gave earlier, and couldn't help but smile: "Master Chu is too polite." Did you come to the capital by yourself, or did you come with Master Chu? ”
"I came with my father." Chu Gongzi said gently, "Father's body has been much better after these years of conditioning. But he said that without Miss Chen Er's approval, it was always difficult to feel at ease, so on the day Miss Chen Er left Jincheng County, he also set off to the capital. ”
"I'm free tomorrow afternoon, if it's convenient for you, you can go to ......," Chen Anning paused, "Go to the mansion east of the north gate of Chongyi Fang to find me." ”
After Xie Xun gave her the deed, she has not seen it yet.
Chongyi Fang is not far from the palace, and tomorrow when you go to the East Palace to do the play, you can just go over and have a look.
"Miss Chen Er bought a house in Chongyi Fang?" Chu Gongzi was surprised.
"Do you think I look like such a rich man?" After Chen Anning teased, he said, "It was sent by Lord Xie who is rich enough to rival the country." ”
Chu Gongzi chuckled, "I heard that the money of the Guangling Royal Mansion can buy the entire capital, Miss Chen Er is tired of running around like Lord Xie, and a house is what Miss Chen Er deserves." ”
"You reminded me." Chen Anning sighed, "Someone still owes me a lot of money that I haven't paid." ”
Whoever this person is talking about, naturally there is no need to say it explicitly.
Chu Gongzi didn't think it was a problem when he saw the excitement: "Then you have to charge interest." ”
Chen Anning glanced at him, "Are you going back to Jincheng County?" ”
Chu Gongzi's mood to see the excitement disappeared in an instant, "It shouldn't be back." ”
"There is no grass at the end of the world, and you don't have to love a flower." Chen Anning is not a person who knows how to comfort, "Since you have come to the capital, let's have a good time." ”
After Chu Gongzi sighed silently, he still couldn't let go, and asked tentatively: "Did Miss Hua tell Miss Chen Er......?"
Halfway through the conversation, he stopped his mouth again when he felt inappropriate.
Chen Anning took his words: "Did you tell me that she likes Master Xie?" Even if the emperor has already given me and Lord Xie a marriage, she is willing to marry Lord Xie as a concubine? ”
Chu Gongzi smiled bitterly, "It seems that she is not perfunctory to me." Miss Chen Er ...... Don't mind? ”
Chen Anning asked him, "What do you mind?" ”
Chu Gongzi said: "Introduce her to marry Master Xie as a concubine." ”
Chen Anning teased: "You also said that she wanted to marry Lord Xie as a concubine, no matter how domineering I am, I can't stop Lord Xie from being excellent, let alone other people's delusions about him." ”
"Delusional?" Chu Gongzi looked at her frank face and kindly reminded, "Princess Guangling is the aunt of Miss Huada's relatives, and Miss Hua basically grew up in Guangling Palace, with my understanding of her, she should not be untargeted." ”
Chen Anning looked at him steadily, "Can I ask Gongzi Chu a question?" ”
Chu Gongzi said: "If you ask, if I can answer, I will definitely answer you." ”
"There should be more than one person in the medicinal herb business in Dawei, right?" Chen Anning said.
Chu Gongzi nodded, "The people in Da Wei's medicinal herb business, large and small, add up, there are not 100,000, but 80,000." Does Miss Chen Er also want to do this business? If so, I can introduce you to a few good medicine farmers. ”
"I have no intention of doing business," Chen Anning continued her question, "I'm just curious, which class does the Chu family's medicinal herb business belong to among the 100,000 people who do this business?" ”
Chu Gongzi immediately sat up straight and said proudly: "Although it is not a top class, it is not far behind." ”
After Chen Anning praised two sentences, he asked again: "What is the secret of the Chu family's success?" ”
Although Chu Gongzi didn't understand the reason why she asked this, he still replied: "Of course, it is the quality of medicinal materials that is passable, and it is a reliable criterion for people." ”
Chen Anning nodded, "So does Master Chu understand?" ”
After being stunned for a moment, Chu Gongzi got up and said, "Thank you Miss Chen Er for mentioning it." ”
"I can't talk about it," Chen Anning said indifferently, "It's just a little superficial." ”
"Miss Chen Er's shallow knowledge has benefited me a lot." Chu Gongzi said sincerely.
After that, the two talked a few more words, and finally agreed on a time to meet tomorrow afternoon, and Chu Gongzi left.
Chen Anning stood in front of the Evergreen Hall, and after watching him walk away, when he was about to turn around and go back to Qingzhi Courtyard, he saw the Qiu family hiding behind the flower tree not far away.
Qiu Shi knew that Chen Anning had discovered her, so he walked out with a sneer and explained, "I, I'm just just looking at it." ”
She didn't inquire about the identity of Chu Gongzi in the mouth of the porter, and she was really curious, so she hid here, and wanted to secretly see the appearance of Chu Gongzi, and when she went to the street tomorrow to show off the dowry list sent by the Guangling Palace, she would inquire again by the way.
"Then Mother will continue to watch, and I will not bother." Chen Anning walked past her.
Qiu Shi chased after her, "That Young Master Chu looks very young and dresses very well, I don't know which son?" ”
"Princess Guangling has sent the dowry list over, presumably in a few days, the person who guards the media on the gift list will also come to the door," Chen Anning reminded lightly, "Mother doesn't plan to clean up the house?" ”
"If you want to clean up, I'll go now." As soon as Qiu heard that the people who protected the media were coming to Chen's house, he immediately left Chu Gongzi behind.
Chen Anning originally sent her away with an incident, so that she had no time to be a demon, but she didn't expect that this dispatch would actually send her an incident.
On the second day, Chen Anning first followed Xie Xun to the East Palace to make a play, and then went to Chongyifang's house to give Chu Gongzi's father a needle, and gave him another prescription. When I returned to Chen's house, the sunset began to recede, and the sky was faintly dark.
Qiu was waiting for her at the gate of Qingzhi Courtyard.
It seems that it has been a long time coming.
"An Ning," seeing her come back, Qiu quickly greeted her, "I have something important to discuss with you." ”
Chen Anning's footsteps did not stop: "Say." ”
"That's right," Qiu said as he walked with her, "and your grandmother and father and I, after a night of careful consideration, decided that in addition to the matters listed on the dowry list, two more conditions must be added. ”
Chen Anning motioned for her to come and listen.
Qiu said: "You see, the lintel of the Guangling Palace's mansion is so high, and the dowry list sent is so rich, on the surface, it is true that they attach great importance to you, but after careful analysis, they are simply pinching you." What are the conditions of the Chen family, you are also clear. Your father doesn't have any official body, and he doesn't have any ancestral property in the family. If you agree to the conditions of Guangling Palace's appointment in such a daze, after you pass the door in the future, you may not be despised. ”
Chen Anning entered the house, sat down and drank two glasses of water, and then said slowly: "Don't beat around the bush, just say the conditions you want to add." ”
