Chapter 636: My Fair Lady and Gentleman
In front of the gate of the small courtyard sat Ding Fen and Bai Qian, Ding Fen was showing off the lanterns she had made, and Bai Qian was pointing out the clothes of the pedestrians on the street. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ao Yu and Tao Mu didn't know where they were, but no one doubted that they would suddenly appear in front of them.
Like a dead pig, Liang Chong lay on the bed in the guest room and slept soundly, and Feng Liang took a group of fellow villagers out to go shopping.
There were only two masters and servants left in the hall.
"Let's talk about Ding Yu's cousin. Ding Kui is still not very worried about the little dragon girl at home.
"You're talking about Miss Ao Yan. Ding Cai's eyes rolled, "That's really a little beauty, she looks about the same size as Madame, although she is not as beautiful as Madame, but it has a different flavor." ”
"I don't want to know what she looks like, I want to know what she does at home!" Ding Kui raised his voice, dissatisfied with Ding Cai's misrepresentation.
"Ahh......h
"But what?"
"Qian Fengfeng once told the servant in private that Miss Ao is actually very strong and doesn't need his protection at all. Thinking about Ding Yu's power, the slave thinks it makes sense. ”
"Has she ever shown what she can do?"
"No, she is a distinguished guest in the family, and she has the admonition of money to worship, and no one dares to provoke her. ”
"Well, how does Madame relate to her?"
"You also know that Madame is very good to everyone, and Ding Yu has helped you a lot on the front line, so Madame's care for Miss Ao can be said to be meticulous. ”
In this way, Ao Yan didn't do anything else except walk around, and she didn't cause any trouble at home. Ding Kui picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Ding Cai.
Ding Cai was flattered, and poured the teacup into his mouth with both hands.
"The minion saw this, do you suspect that there is something wrong with Ao Yan?" Ding Cai asked vigilantly.
"It can't be said to be suspicious, a stranger suddenly came to the house, I always have to ask clearly, I am sure, I think she is Ding Yu's cousin, there should be no problem. "How can Ding Kui clearly say that it is a giant dragon, once he plays with his temperament, no one can hold it down.
"Oh, Miss Ao is just a little stingy, she never gives a reward to her subordinates, and she has the demeanor of Miss Everybody in other aspects. Ding Cai couldn't help but sue Ao Yan.
What the hell, you let the dragon lady reward humans, think too much!
Just look at that Ao Yu, it's completely an iron rooster that doesn't pull out a hair, and even I have to work hard for a long time to squeeze out a little oil.
Ding Kui resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and he was not half surprised by Ao Yan's point.
January 1, 4875.
This New Year is very different from the past few years, there is less oppressive and solemn atmosphere in Zhenjing, and the joyful mood has returned to the people of the capital.
Dozens of gorgeous carriages stopped in front of the palace very early, and a large number of the king's relatives were waiting to enter the palace to celebrate the New Year with Shaodian Dan, which was mixed with a proud figure, that is, Ji Man, who had not yet returned to China in Nannuma Prefecture.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the palace door was opened, and the chief attendant came out to greet the royal relatives who had been waiting for a long time.
Shaodian Dan summoned his relatives in the garden, the queen stood beside him with the little prince of Tai Yuesheng in her arms, and the princess Tai Yue led Shao Dian Luan on the other side. The king's heirs were difficult, only the favorite concubine Taiyue gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the other harem concubines had nothing.
The former eldest prince Shaodian Ji was sent back to the royal territory early, and he had not appeared in the capital since nineteen years ago.
In addition to the older generation, many young people of the younger generation also came to the palace, and some families privately received instructions from Taiyue to send the best children of the family to approach Shaodianluan, and three of them were the most eye-catching.
Tai Xiu, a descendant of the Tai family, has just turned 20 this year, and the family promises that if he can marry Shaodian Luan, he will automatically become the patriarch heir.
Nangong Ping, the eldest son of the head of the Nangong family, is now eighteen years old, and his sister Nangong Ru was elected as the king's new concubine the year before last, and it is his task to get to know and befriend the children of the royal family.
Ling Hu Yu, a descendant of the Ling Hu family, is the youngest of the three, only sixteen years old, only a few months older than Shaodian Luan, and has met Shaodian Luan a few times, and can be called a friend of the eldest princess of the kingdom.
As the little master, Shaodian Luan wants to take more than a dozen young men and women to visit the gardens of the palace, and around her are the four people who are Taixiu, Nangong Ping, Ling Huyu and Jiman, but the best relationship with the eldest princess is her cousin Taijin.
Tai Jin is eighteen years old, and her appearance is delicate and dexterous, although she is a little disgraced when she stands next to Shaodian Luan, she can also be called a beautiful girl.
"Cousin, look, that pool was transplanted from the polar ice field last year, and it can't be seen anywhere else in the kingdom at all. Shaodian Luan took Tai Jin's hand and introduced.
In the garden of the lake there is a small piece of the lake that is frozen, there are seven or eight lotus trees like ice sculptures, and in the royal palace as long as the king wishes, even in the cold weather, the lake will not freeze, that small piece of ice should be artificial.
"Yuli Ice Lotus is not as white and tender as my cousin's skin, and the treasure flowers of the polar ice field are also eclipsed in front of my cousin. He wasted no time in praising Shaodianluan.
Ling Huyu's face seems to have been carefully carved, and his dark blue hair and snow-white coat are really a beautiful boy. He was not very old, and the ink in his stomach was limited, and he was very annoyed by Ji Man's preemptiveness, and hurriedly praised: "How can you use vulgar things to describe the eldest princess, the appearance of the eldest princess is comparable to the brilliance of the bright sun, and it is not enough to match the ice lotus." ”
Tan Taixiu has a deep contour, and he is the most stylish one among the "indigenous nobles", with a slender and straight figure, although he is not the tallest one in the crowd, he is also a relatively outstanding person. He consciously tucked his chin in, smiled and said, "Why do you use words to lower your cousin's appearance, don't you think this is a kind of blasphemy against your cousin?"
Nangong Ping, who was fierce outside, was glad that he was not in a hurry to praise Shaodianluan, otherwise he would be completely pitted by Taixiu, "Hehe, does Sister Jin think Binghe is good-looking?"
The girl is inevitably a little jealous of the people around her praising another girl, but the person who is praised is not something that Taijin can provoke, she buried her jealousy deep in her heart, smiled, and said: "Most people in my country have never seen the ice lotus in their lives, if it weren't for the fact that my cousin has won the favor of the king, how can we have the blessing of seeing the demeanor of the treasure flower." ”
"Shaodianyin. Shaodian Luan turned around and shouted.
"Humble in office. The Director of Internal Security stepped forward and replied quickly.
"Pick an ice lotus and give a petal to each of the cousins present. Shaodian Luan said lightly.
"This, that ice lotus was bought from Lu Guo at a high price in order to recuperate your body, and the king ordered it to be strictly guarded. ”
Without waiting for Shaodian Yin to finish speaking, Shaodian Luan looked displeased and said, "I ordered you to pick it, my father blames you for having my own top, my words are not as good as my father, right?"
Shaodian Yin had rarely seen the eldest princess lose her temper before, but she has become more and more prone to anger recently.
"Yes, I will pick it up immediately. "Shaodian Yin doesn't dare to really mess with the eldest princess.
"Cousin, that's something that the king has prepared for you, how dare we ask for it. Tan Tai Jin persuaded.
"What is prepared for me is mine, you are not outsiders, I will share with you what is the problem. Well, as long as everyone is happy, things that money can buy are not rare. Shaodian Luan's face hung a quiet smile again.
Shao Dian Dan glanced at the group of young boys and girls from a distance, kicked the soles of his feet inadvertently, and said softly, "Have you forgotten what Gu told you?"
Tan Taiyue understood, and hurriedly explained softly: "Luan'er is sixteen this year, and the concubine doesn't say anything, and people outside will have some ideas, so I don't know the concubine." ”
"Yo, what are you two talking about?" said the queen, smiling.
"Ah, it's nothing, I wonder why I'm embarrassed to come. ”
"Oh, my sister has been away from home for many years, I'm afraid I don't know the situation at home, or I don't take out some harem money to reward my own private army, so that my sister can give an explanation to my country. The "sister" in the queen's mouth refers to Shaodian Rong.
"Hmph, their army of land and water totals more than 500,000, how much is the total use of the harem? I'm afraid it won't satisfy their appetite. ”
Shaodian Dan was extremely dissatisfied with Ji Manlai in Nannuma Prefecture, but he also knew that it must be Shao Dian Rong's meaning, Ji Nan was a king who wanted face after all.
"The timing of our country's action this time is very good, and it only took a few months to force the three countries to sit down and talk, and we will always have to pay back the debt we owe to our country. "The queen is a well-informed person, but unfortunately she has no heirs.
"Forget it, don't talk about these unhappy things today, the expenses of the Commander's Office will be reduced a lot this year, and the expenditures in other areas can return to normal. Tut-tut, this wall calendar looks pleasing to the eye, the kid of the Ding family is much more successful than his father, he can not only fight well but also know how to improve people's livelihood, Shaodian country needs more such talents to be bullied like this. ”
In 4875, the latest version of the wall calendar had already been sent to the palace, and now the nobles of the Shaodian Kingdom have all eliminated the rigidity, and nearly half of the people also use the wall calendar, and the taxes created by the wall calendar and the profits distributed to the clan have somewhat reduced the financial burden of the royal family.
"It is the duty of the Ding family to protect the country, they should come up with more money to share the worries of the country, it is said that Ding Kui got millions of gold coins by selling the overseas copyright of "Watching the Moon". "Tan Taiyue put in the effort to collect information about Ding Kui.
"The Ding family is also a relative, but in recent years, they have become estranged from the royal family, and they have a heart to serve the country, we welcome them, but we can't blame them. Didn't Ding Kui go to the front line, and he made great achievements and even heard of them in the palace, which is a rare and commendable pull. The queen heard Shaodian Dan's love for Ding Kui, and gave Yu Taiyue some eye medicine without showing a look.
