The sun was like fire, and the cicadas were already singing in the house.

"Sir, the bait you wanted."

Dressed in green clothes, the green maid walked up to Xu Fenglei with a bowl of sand-like things, and said with a smile,

"It's been morning, and you're still in the Air Force?"

Although she doesn't know how the word 'Air Force' came about, she always listens to Xu Fenglei and understands the meaning of these two words-

Empty bamboo basket, no fish.

"Isn't the Air Force normal? I didn't nest yesterday. ”

Xu Fenglei held the fishing rod and rolled his eyes,

"Give me the bait, and you can get me a few earthworms, and you need a live bait to attract big fish!"

"Go!"

The young maid pursed her lips.

"Do you want to put some fish in the pond again?"

She snickered.

"Go, go, go! Sick of it! ”

Xu Fenglei was a little annoyed and angry, and shouted,

"Hit your board again!"

"Sir, the anger is gone, the slave and maid are gone! Giggle...... "The young maid saluted in a panic, then giggled and ran away.

Xu Fenglei glared.

This girl is getting more and more unruly!

Crash.

At this moment, a ripple rippled on the surface of the water, which made him instantly retract his attention and grasp the fishing rod.

Da-da-da.

A light footstep came, and only humane people were heard:

"Mr. ......"

"Shhhh

There was no sound around.

Swish!

He pulled suddenly, and a herring broke out of the water, Xu Fenglei shook it, and the herring fell on the grass with a chirp, and its mouth jumped up and down.

"Sir, it's fishing!"

"It's sea bass!"

Xu Fenglei suddenly smiled.

"Yes, yes! Hahaha......"

He said triumphantly,

"What am I talking about? This fishing is not so difficult, as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle! ”

"Xiao Zi, you quickly put away the fish and eat it for lunch later!"

The purple maid nodded obediently, put the sea bass into the fish basket, and immediately took a bottle of grape from behind her and served it.

"Sir, chilled grapes, I just took it out of the cellar, and it's still cold."

She said,

"You taste it, it's the first bottle of the year."

Bang!

The cork opened, and a refreshing sweet smell penetrated Xu Fenglei's nose.

"It's still Xiao Zi who hurts."

Xu Fenglei smiled, and directly dried a whole bottle of goo dong.

The sweet and cold grapes entered the throat, reached the chest and abdomen, and spread to the limbs.

Meimei hiccuped, which was refreshed and relieved.

"Comfortable......"

"Sir, would you like another bottle?" The purple maid raised her head and asked.

"No, it's too much."

Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said,

"Although the grapes are good, they are tired of drinking too much."

Zi Wan nodded and took the empty bottle away.

"Sir, have you heard? Princess Dongying asked for a book in Chang'an. ”

She tilted her head.

Xu Fenglei raised his eyebrows.

"What's so strange about asking for books with a lot of money, it's not a lot of money for children."

He quipped,

"Dongying is a small and barren country with no civilization, and it is normal for them to want to buy books in the Tang Dynasty to increase their wisdom and culture."

But speaking of which, with the beauty of Haogong Qianhe, if he really spent a lot of money in Chang'an to ask for a child, the scene would definitely be extremely hot, right?

Cough.

"Oh, that's right...... The slave saw that many people had sold her books in exchange for gold! That Dongying princess is generous, box by box of gold for books! ”

The purple maid was stunned, and then asked,

"Do you have any spare books that the slave girl went to sell for you? They can charge high! ”

Xu Fenglei thought for a moment.

"Do we have any books at home?" He asked rhetorically.

I've never been a person who loves to read!

"Yes! Don't you know? ”

Zi Wan said with a strange face,

"There are a lot of books in your study, all of which existed when His Majesty gave the house, and there are all kinds of books."

"It's just that you don't seem to have read it, and the book is new and ...... something."

Xu Fenglei: "......"

"Ahem...... Is it? ”

He touched his nose and said,

"Those books are useless to me, what do I think they do?"

"I just have a chance now, you can help me sell it! The money from the sale can be used to subsidize the expenses of the government! But remember...... Let's not sell it cheaply, this is also a book circulated by the Duke of Xu, which has added value! ”

"Sell it to me at a high price!"

"Yes, sir." The purple maid gladly accepted the order and turned to leave.

Xu Fenglei glanced at the perch in the fish basket that no longer jumped as if he was resigned to his fate, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, pinched a fragrant bait again, and threw the fishing rod into the lake.

But at this time, the purple maid went and returned.

"Sir."

She looked a little surprised.

"What else?"

Xu Fenglei held the fishing rod, closed his eyes, and spoke in a calm tone.

In his words, this is called being combined with fishing tackle, which can greatly increase the chances of catching a fish.

"That Dongying princess, she ......"

Purple Lady Road,

"She's coming to visit you, just outside the house, and she's bringing a lot of gifts."

Swish.

Xu Fenglei opened his eyes.

"It's pretty fast."

He laughed,

"Okay, let her in, and bring her here."

"Also, you go get some cooking utensils, all the tools I used for the picnic, and prepare some mustard butter and marmalade."

"I'm going to invite Princess Dongying to dinner later, and I will do my best to be a landlord."

"Yes." The purple maid responded.

Xu Fenglei closed his eyes again and became one with the fishing rod.

……

Outside the Xuguo Mansion.

Chizuru Konomiya stood in front of the door, and behind her, there was Inugami Sanri and a few retinues.

On the carriage, gifts with ribbons were stacked, which showed that this princess of Dongying came with a generous gift.

The so-called etiquette is not strange, and the porter is naturally more polite to this exotic princess.

"Please wait a moment, the purple girl has already gone to report to the master, and the news will come soon."

Chizuru Konomiya nodded.

"I'm tired."

She asked with a soft smile,

"Dare to ask this big brother, who is the 'Purple Girl' you are talking about? Is it Xu Guogong's wife? ”

"Ah...... Don't dare to be it, how dare you let the princess call the little one the big brother? The porter sighed in his heart, and waved his hand again and again, "It's a little one." ”

Haogong Chizuru smiled slightly, but did not speak, just stared at him.

The concierge's heart was suddenly filled with warmth, warmer than the sun.

This princess Dongying really respects him!

Naturally, he was already full of good feelings for Haogong Chizuru, and without further words, he explained it in detail for Haogong Chizuru:

"This purple girl, of course, is not the master's wife, but the maidservants of the house, but they are different from ordinary maidservants."

"The seven of them were given to the lord when His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne to take care of his daily life, and the lord was very good to them, and it can be said that they are so good that they are enviable."

"Later, His Majesty ascended the throne, and the lord sealed the mansion of Xu Guogong, and these seven girls naturally also arrived at the Guogong Mansion and became the seven girls in charge, and the newcomers in the mansion also called them aunts."

Hearing this, Haogong Chizuru was slightly stunned.

"Is that so?"

She was surprised,

"Xu Guogong doesn't have a wife?"

The porter Lao Zhang nodded.

"Yes, the lord doesn't marry a wife, this is a well-known thing."

He answered,

"He said that he would take refuge in the future."

Chizuru Konomiya glanced at Inugami Mitsuri beside him, and some thoughts came to his heart.

While chatting, Zi Wan had already crossed the threshold and walked out of the house.

"This is Princess Dongying, right?"

She looked at the eyes of the thousand cranes of the palace, and saluted with a smile,

"You're so beautiful!"

"Haogong Chizuru, I've seen the Purple Girl." Haogong Chizuru is polite and courteous, and it is also a return of courtesy.

"Hey...... Don't dare, the princess is too polite, I'm just a slave in the house, Princess Qianhe only needs to call me Xiaozi. ”

Purple Maid Connection,

"Sir, please, come with me."

Konomiya Chizuru nodded, giving Inuage Sanri a look.

The dog understood it for three days and immediately began to unload the goods with his entourage.

The stacked gifts were unloaded in front of the house gate and became a hill.

"Wow...... Princess Chizuru, your gift is too heavy, isn't it? ”

The purple maid exclaimed,

"No one has ever come to visit and give so many gifts, even if you hire them, you won't need so many ......"

Just this bunch of gifts, I don't know, I really think it's the man giving the woman a dowry!

"A little courtesy is not a respect."

Chizuru Konomiya pursed his lips and smiled,

"Datang is a country of etiquette, and thousands of cranes yearn for it, so in terms of etiquette, we must do our best."

"Purple girl, can they come into the mansion with me, bring the gifts in, and meet Xu Guogong?"

Zi Wan hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

"Mr. only invites Princess Chizuru to enter the mansion alone, and no one else is allowed to enter."

With a hint of apology on her face, she said,

"Excuse me...... These gifts, I will arrange for someone to move into the house, and there will be no mistakes or omissions, please rest assured Princess Chizuru! ”

When Inugami Mirichi heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

After spending so much money on gifts, you won't even be allowed to enter the door?

What do you mean?

"Okay, I'm tired."

Haogong Chizuru was still smiling, turned to look at Inugami Sanri, stretched out his hand and said,

"Inujo-kun, give me the national treasure."

"Princess Chizuru...... You go in alone, and your subordinates are not at ease. "The dog looked embarrassed for three days.

When Zi Wan heard this, she was immediately unhappy.

"What's wrong with that? Our Xuguo Mansion is the safest place in Chang'an, and I don't know how many princes, princesses, dignitaries and nobles have come, and even His Majesty does not bring guards to visit frequently. ”

She snorted softly,

"Don't overthink it."

Inujo's face stiffened.

"Purple Girl is right, Inu-kun is too worried."

Haogong Chizuru stretched out his hand again, this time the tone was not as soft as just now, with a hint of command in the gentleness,

"Give it to me."

Inougami Sanri didn't dare to force any more, took off the long tube from behind him, and offered it with respectful hands.

"What is this?"

Zi Wan wondered,

"No suspicious objects are allowed to enter the palace."

It can't be a sword here, right?

"Purple Girl is too worried, here is a note, it is a rare treasure."

Chizuru Konomiya put the long bamboo tube on his back and explained with a smile,

"The bamboo tube is used as a protection against insects that the paper will be damaged."

"Please lead the way."

The purple maid bowed slightly, which dispelled her doubts.

"Lao Zhang, you ask a few family members to receive gifts."

She commanded, and then invited,

"Princess Chizuru, please come with me."

Haogong Chizuru happily followed, leaving only Inougami three days and his retinue waiting outside the house.

"I'm also an envoy of Dongying, and I turned me away after giving so many gifts, it's really ...... Yaga! ”

Inoushang Sanri looked at the gifts carried by a few family members, scolded in a low voice, and immediately closed his mouth and looked around carefully.

……

The purple maid walked briskly through the house.

Haogong Qianhe looked at the scenery in the mansion, as well as the maids who took care of the flowers and plants around him, and couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes.

"This is the mansion of the Duke of the Kingdom?"

She couldn't help but ask,

"So big? So...... Luxury? ”

At this moment, she couldn't think of any other word to describe it, only the word luxury in her mind!

"yes."

Zi Wan looked like a matter of course, and said,

"My husband is a founding hero, and the place where he lives is naturally larger, what you see is the front yard, and there are several floors in it!"

"The place I'm going to take you to now is the back garden, where Sir is fishing."

Konomiya Chizuru's eyes widened.

"And the garden? Got a lake? ”

She was shocked,

"It's just ...... It's even more luxurious than our imperial palace in Dongying. ”

Her name is 'Konomiya Chizuru', which means that the palace where she lives is 'Konomiya'.

Although it is called a palace, it is actually just a slightly larger clean house, and it can't be compared with this Xu Guogong Mansion at all!

However, the only thing worth consoling is that she has a lot of servants, barely comparable to Xu Fenglei.

"That's natural, you Dongying is a small country, how can you compare with our Tang Dynasty?"

Zi Wan blurted out a little proudly, but she immediately noticed the inappropriateness in her words, and hurriedly made up for it,

"Uh...... I'm just casually talking nonsense, Princess Qianhe, don't take it to heart, Dongying must also have something special. ”

Chizuru Konomiya shook her head.

"It's not nonsense, it's true."

She smiled wryly,

"The material resources of the Tang Celestial Dynasty are by no means comparable to my Dongying, even if he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he is better off than my Dongying's countryman."

"It's so enviable......"

At this moment, Haogong Chizuru couldn't help but have a thought-

I am a princess, and the living environment of a maid in the public mansion is not as good!

"Then Princess Qianhe can stay in Chang'an for a while and feel more about the customs of our Tang Dynasty......"

Zi Wan smiled,

"As you, you will be treated with the best."

Chizuru Konomiya pursed her lips.

And the best hospitality?

As soon as I came to Chang'an, I was forced to kneel down to your husband, and I was torn up in front of me.

The humiliation is pretty much the same.

"Purple girl, I take the liberty of asking......"

She said suddenly,

"What kind of person is your husband?"

"I'm so curious, I really want to know about his life."

Zi Wan was slightly stunned.

"My husband, ......"

She muttered for a while, and said seriously,

"He's a strange man, a great man."

"In my heart, he is the most powerful person in the world, the greatest hero!"
