Dong Ping and Jiang Qinzhou are parallel to the palace avenue.

Jiang Qinzhou smiled and said: "I want the king of Shuzhong to enter Beijing back then, and the two of us also walked here together." When I first saw the king of Shuzhong, I was shocked. The strategic intelligence and political insight of the king of Shu can be said to be a thousand years old. Although the king of Shuzhong collapsed before half of his great cause, he was already wanton and chic in the decades he was alive, and he did not come to the world in vain. ”

Dong Ping said with a smile: "Jiang Shumi is really the prince's confidant, this time I am in the Huinan Embassy, and I have to thank Jiang Shumi for taking care of me." ”

Jiang Qinzhou said: "This is nature. The prince must have attached great importance to the horse during his lifetime, and if he wants to come to the capital this time, he should have some great ambitions to display. ”

Dong Ping shook his head and said: "Jiang Shumi praised it falsely, I dare not compare with the prince." The prince chose me to be this concubine, not because I was ambitious, but because I was honest, so he entrusted the princess to me.

Jiang Qinzhou smiled and said, "It's rare for Master Ma to be so humble. With this alone, the master of the horse is better than most people!" Jiang Qinzhou originally wanted to knock on the side to explore Dong Ping's reality, but seeing that Dong Ping was so leaky, he had to give up. Dong Ping, who thought about it, was too wary of coming to Lin'an for the first time, so he just waited to move around in the future and then made plans.

But when he got out of the interior, Jiang Qinzhou invited Dong Ping to sit at home at night, but Dong Ping still declined. Lin Sanchuan, who was waiting inside and outside the university, led the horse over, and he said, "Childe, that's another big official." ”

Dong Ping smiled and said: "Yes, he is a big official, a big official who can bow to Qin Zhonghui." ”

Lin Sanchuan exclaimed, he said, "This big official seems to be interested in befriending a son." ”

Dong Ping shook his head and sighed lightly: "But Qin Xiang treats me well, and I can't live up to Qin Xiang's wishes." Let's go. The two rode to Wan Yiqi's new house, but the door of the house was closed and a large copper lock was hanging. A sedan chair carried by four people landed in front of the steps. On the steps sat four palanquin drivers with big shoulders and round waists.

Seeing that Dong Ping was coming, the four of them rushed up in one fell swoop and said in unison: "See the master of the horse." ”

Dong Ping pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go, lead the way." ”

Hearing this, the four palanquin drivers were shocked.

One of them spoke: "Master Horse, what kind of road do you lead?"

Dong Ping smiled: "Didn't you invite Master Wan to carry me to the new mansion?"

The man smiled and said, "Master Ma is really smart, Master Wan specially bought you a mansion." The four of us are your yard. Master Wan said, in the future, the horse master should not ride a horse, and should change to a sedan chair. Riding a horse in Lin'an, there is the identity of the horse master. ”

Dong Ping said with a smile: "I am a horse, not a horse, what identity can I lose when riding a horse?" Needless to say, the front leads the way, and the person I can't bear to be lifted by the most in my life." ”

The four palanquin bearers were happy and worried. Carrying the empty sedan chair should be light, but if Wan Yiqi knows, it will inevitably cure them for a crime of dereliction of duty.

Lin Sanchuan on the side couldn't help it, he scolded: "Straight lady thief! The old man is grinding and chirping, son, you don't sit on this sedan chair and I will sit on it! Today, I have to suppress this group of straight sedan thieves!"

Dong Ping grabbed the reins of the horse next to him and turned the horse's head with a "whoosh". The four palanquin bearers lifted the sedan chair again, and scolded themselves in their hearts for not knowing how to lift. The weight of this Lin Sanchuan is really heavy, just like an old scalper holding his head up. As everyone knows, Lin Sanchuan was secretly angry, and deliberately wanted to tire them.

When they came to a spacious house in Nancheng Lane, the four sedan chair drivers put down the sedan chair panting, sat down tiredly, and said: "... Master Pony... Arrive...... It's here!"

Dong Ping got off the horse, and Lin Sanchuan got out of the sedan chair.

After the two entered the house, the first thing they saw was the greenery of the world. I saw emerald green bamboo curtains hanging down from the large and small walls, blocking in front of the white walls. In front of the bamboo curtain, there are beautifully trimmed pine and cypress potted plants. Outside the hospital, it was late autumn, and it was about to enter the winter solar term. And when I entered the yard, it was like being in a warm spring day, and everything recovered. Dong Ping and the others passed through the gate of the Taoist courtyard again, and on the corridor and road, there were all family maids cleaning the courtyard in an orderly manner, moving tables and chairs. After seeing Dong Ping, these maids put down their work and saluted him quite properly.

Lin Sanchuan sighed: "Good girl, this ten thousand adults have made a lot of money." Childe, you are gracious and spare me as a housekeeper. ”

Lin Sanchuan laughed when he heard this, he suddenly stopped the busy people in the courtyard and said: "This is Uncle Lin Sanchuan next to me, in the future, in this mansion, in addition to saluting my concubine, you will also have to salute this Uncle Lin." ”

Everyone faced Lin Sanchuan when they boarded, the men made a gesture, and the women did a thousand blessings, and said in unison: "Uncle Lin is good!"

Lin Sanchuan's face was red, and he hurriedly said: "I can't help it, I can't make it ......."

Suddenly, a coquettish shout came, snatching Lin Sanchuan's white: "What's the matter, there are no rules again? Didn't I teach you to let you salute both the horse master and the forest master?

Dong Ping smiled: "Sister Juan'er, you really have a big temper. ”

Du Juan hired Tingting came over from a distance and saluted Dong Ping, "Back to the horse master, the slave has been waiting for a long time." ”

Dong Ping said: "I'll just say, if there is no shrewd woman in this courtyard, there will never be such a harmonious relationship." Thank you Sister Juan'er for coming to help me take care of the chores at home in her busy schedule. ”

Du Juan smiled and said: "The words of the master of the horse can be seen outside, and the cuckoo will be the person under the master of the horse in the future." Why do you need to thank you for what you do?"

Dong Ping was slightly stunned, he frowned and said, "Qin Xiang is willing to endure the pain of cutting his love?"

Du Juan smiled and said: "It is the master of Qin who wants the slave to come, and the master said that if a good servant does not serve the second master, he is afraid that the master of the horse will dislike the slave and the maid." ”

Dong Ping said secretly: "Could it be that Qin Zhonghui wants to install a soft nail beside me and tell me to keep the embankment at all times?"

Du Juan saw that Dong Ping frowned and was silent, but he felt a little aggrieved in his heart. She has lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, and all kinds of people have waited for her to not know how much. Observing words and emotions is one of her skills. She knew that Dong Ping must be thinking at this time that she was here to work for Qin Zhonghui. But everyone's maid is really different, and after thinking about it with a snap of his fingers, the cuckoo smiled and said: "Yes, although Master Qin said so, the slave maid didn't think so." The slave and the maid are married to the chicken and the dog and the dog, and the best person like the horse master will not treat the slave and the maid badly. ”

Lin Sanchuan laughed when he heard this: "Nizi, you still want to marry my son-in-law!"

Du Juan smiled and said, "Brother Lin, I don't marry the horse master, can I marry you?"

Lin Sanchuan blushed again, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no...... I have a daughter-in-law and children......" His move provoked the big and small women in the distance, and they all bowed their heads and laughed.

Dong Ping smiled and said: "Qin Xiang is really worried, Sister Juan can come, it's too late for me to like it, how can I dislike it." Suddenly, Dong Ping raised his voice again and said to everyone in the courtyard: "In the future, Du Juan will be my personal girl, and she will handle all the big and small things in the family." ”

The cuckoo hurriedly saluted and said, "Slave and maid thank you for your love." ”

Dong Ping smiled, rubbed the cuckoo's head, and strode into the hall. The cuckoo hurriedly arranged for everyone to continue their work, and then entered the hall. As soon as Dong Ping sat down on the Taishi's chair, he heard the cuckoo who walked in say, "Master Horse, there is hot tea brewed on the table, and the slave maid will pour it for you." ”

Looking at the white mist entangled in the air, Dong Ping smiled and said, "Sister Juan'er, if you serve me in the future, then you will suffer." ”

The cuckoo pouted and said: "Where did the master of the horse say, serving you is the blessing of the slave maid for several generations." ”

Dong Ping picked up the teacup, thought about it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Since Sister Juan'er can stay by Qin Xiang's side for so long, she is naturally a capable person. I want to do something in Lin'an, I wonder if Sister Juan will do her best to help me?"

The cuckoo knelt on the ground with a "bang", "The slave and maid will follow the horse master, and that will be the person of the horse master." The words of the master of the horse are holy decrees for the slaves and maids. As long as it is what the master of the horse commands, the slave and maid should do their best to do it, and they will never dare to have two hearts. These words are sincere.

Dong Ping asked, "What if what I did hindered Qin Xiang?"

Du Juan was stunned, and after she pondered for a long time, she said word by word: "Qin Xiang treats slaves and maids as kindly as a mountain, although slaves and maids are women, women must know how to repay their kindness." But the master of the horse is the master recognized by the slave and maid, I dare not listen to the words of the master of the horse, and I dare not report the kindness of Qin Xiang. The slave and maid have no way to have both, so they can only come stupidly. If the horse master asks the slave to do it in the future, it will be a small hindrance to Qin Xiang. And when the slave had done so, she stabbed herself. If it was in the way of Qin Xiang, after the slave did it, he chopped off one of his fingers. If it was a big obstacle to Qin Xiang, after the slave maid did it, she gave up her life and went to Qin Xiang to be buried with her, which can be regarded as repaying Qin Xiang's kindness. ”

"Small, medium and large, how is this measured?" Dong Pingfu smiled: "Sister Juan'er's skin is better than snow, how can I be willing to let it bleed." Qin is also regarded as having the grace of understanding, and I will not do anything that harms Qin Xiang. I understand Sister Juan'er's intentions, get up, I tell you to do two things. ”

When the cuckoo stood up, his eyes were already red.

Seeing the beauty crying, Dong Ping smiled happily, and he said: "Sister Juan'er's appearance, I feel sorry for it." ”

The cuckoo took out his handkerchief and wiped his tears while sipping: "Don't make fun of the slave and maid." ”

Dong Ping took a sip of tea and said, "Yesterday, I even affected the second master of the Zhou Palace, so that Lord Wan regarded him as a thief." Sister Juan Er bought some gifts for me and went to King Zhou's Mansion to make a compensation. Don't come to Lin'an, and form a bond with others. ”

The cuckoo smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, this matter is done properly." ”

Dong Ping continued: "There is one more thing. Sister Juan Er, have you ever heard of the name Heibao?"

The cuckoo's two apricot eyes flickered, and she laughed and said, "Why haven't I heard of this, in Yanlin, who doesn't know the black treasure!"

Dong Ping and Lin Sanchuan glanced at each other and said, "How do you say this?"

The cuckoo said with a smile: "That black treasure is the champion of the new department, and later he was recruited as a son-in-law by the great yuan under the Zhongshu Sect and the Shangshu Lu An of the Ministry of Rites. ”

When Lin Sanchuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This is good, the future is immeasurable!"

Du Juan smiled and said: "That's not it, this little Dengke and the big Dengke are on the same page, in Lin'an City, this black treasure is in the limelight for a while, and everyone thinks that he can bloom sesame seeds, and he is getting higher and higher." But who would have thought that this black treasure is the same as his father-in-law, they are all old-fashioned people, and they don't know how to be tactful. This black treasure has not been an official in the Criminal Department for a few days, and he took off his official uniform because he offended someone. So much so that this black treasure was miserable, and he once made a living by selling paintings. But last month, the county magistrate in Mopan County, near Lin'an, heard that the king of Shuzhong was going to Lin'an, and he was scared to death for a while...... Ahh

The cuckoo was talking about it, when he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and when he was so frightened that he shouted, he covered his mouth.

Dong Ping didn't mind at all, he didn't say anything when he saw Du Juan, but urged: "What's the matter, keep talking." ”

Du Juan nodded and said: "After the death of the county order of Mopan County, Heibao was activated again, made up for the lack of the county order, and went to Mopan County to be the county commander." ”

Dong Ping sighed and said, "If that's the case, then it's fine." Staying in Lin'an, Mr. Hei's temperament will inevitably hit the nail big. ”

The cuckoo asked, "Is it possible for the master of the horse to know Heibao?"

Dong Ping smiled: "When I was in the north before, I was indeed friends with Mr. Hei. ”

The cuckoo hurriedly said: "Don't blame the master of the horse, the slave and maid are used to making fun of people with their stinky mouth, and there is something to slander Mr. Black in his words, and I hope that the master of the horse will be lightly dismissed." Just hit it, just ten lashes. ”

Dong Ping waved his hand and said with a smile: "What am I doing to beat you, after listening to your words, it's too late for me to be happy." Mr. Black is Mr. Black after all, and he is still a stone in a pit, smelly and hard. ”

Du Juan didn't know whether Dong Ping's words were praising Heibao or damaging Heibao. After thinking for a while, she said, "Since Mr. Hei is a good friend of the Horse Master, the slave maid should visit the Horse Master on his behalf. ”

"Don't spare him, forget it. With that, Dong Ping closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The cuckoo said softly, "Then the slave and maid will go to do something." Immediately, she withdrew in amusement.

Not long after she left, Lin Sanchuan frowned and said, "Childe, if you tell her about the relationship with Mr. Heibao, aren't you afraid that the little girl will leak the news to Qin Zhonghui and reveal our details?"

Dong Ping said lightly: "I told her on purpose." ”

Lin Sanchuan was startled at first, and then realized: "Childe wants to test her." ”

Dong Ping said: "Yes, she has followed Qin Zhonghui for many years. I didn't dare to leave her alone, but I really didn't dare to believe her. Sanchuan, I'm sorry for you these two days, I'm walking around in Lin'an and Mopan County. If you find that there is any trouble, then ......" Speaking of this, Dong Ping slashed horizontally.

Seeing this, Lin Sanchuan knew in his heart.

Zhou Wangfu.

Du Juan was clever, and within half an hour, he moved the gift for reparation to the gate of King Zhou's mansion. Two large boxes of red lacquer were placed on the ground, and a dozen brocade boxes were placed on the big red box.

The cuckoo will be a member of the old man of the concierge money. The old man frowned and said, "The princesses in the Imperial Court have all been plundered by the Liao, where can a horse master come out of thin air?"

The cuckoo smiled and said, "I said, uncle, why is your knowledge not as wide as that of me, a little woman? The horse had long heard of the famous name of the Zhou Palace, and had admired it for a long time, and as soon as he came to Lin'an this time, he urgently urged me to come to visit. ”

Old man Qian saw that the cuckoo spoke sincerely, and he was proud. I don't know how long it has been, no one has admired this week's palace.

"Okay, girl, wait, I'll go and say goodbye. ”

Jiang Ciyu was making a pair of boots, and when she heard the girl's words, she couldn't help frowning and said, "The Horse Mansion?" She thought to herself that the Zhou Mansion and the Shuzhong Mansion had no contact, and it was really a little inexplicable for someone to visit from the Horse Mansion.

Jiang Ciyu put down the needle and thread and said, "Please ask her to sit in the hall." "Now that the Zhou palace is in decline, the expenses in the palace are tight, and Jiang Ciyu usually does not apply powder and wears some coarse cloth clothes. But this time when the Horse Mansion came, she couldn't compromise the prestige of the palace. A little rouge will make it bright and moving. Dressed in gorgeous clothes, it is even more extravagant.

When Jiang Cishu came to the hall where he received the guests, he saw that the guests were sitting upright drinking tea, their eyebrows frowning slightly.

"The girl of the Qin Mansion also dares to come to open the Shabu Palace. ”

When the cuckoo heard this, he hurriedly got up and saluted. Du Juan used to be a maid in the Qin Mansion, and she was very famous, and if she didn't know her, she was only a person who seemed to be an old money man living in a room all day long.

Jiang Cijun glanced at the gifts placed in the middle of the hall, walked to the seat of the master's house, and sat down steadily before saying lightly: "Excuse me." ”

"Princess Xie. ”

The cuckoo didn't sit down this time, she smiled and said, "The princess misunderstood the slave......

Before Du Juan finished speaking, Jiang Ciyu interrupted her and said, "The maid of the Qin Mansion is so unruly?

Du Juan knew that the Zhou Mansion and the Qin Mansion had a great grudge, and she didn't care about the princess treating her like this. He just closed his mouth and said no more.

Jiang Ciyu said lightly: "This gift was given by Qin Xiang. Or was it sent by the concubine of the king of Shu on behalf of Qin Xiangdai?"

The cuckoo smiled and said: "If you go back to the princess, this gift is sent by the slave and maid of the concubine." The slave and maid are no longer from the Qin Mansion, they are the personal maids of the concubine master. ”

"It's changed hands, Qin Xiang is really generous. Jiang Ci smiled and smiled: "Why did the master of the horse give a gift to the Zhou Palace?"

Du Juan said: "Master Ma said that last time because of him, the second master of Chai was misunderstood by Lord Wan as a thief. The master of the horse was very unhappy, so he personally selected these gifts and sent them to the princess and the second master of Chai. ”

Jiang Ciyu was stunned when she heard this, the three names of Master Ma, Wan Yiqi, and Chai Yanqing kept echoing in her mind. In the end, her heart was like a knife.

"Master Ma is really bankrupt, since he has the kung fu to personally choose the gifts, why don't he come to the door to apologize in person?"

The cuckoo listened to it and couldn't help but be curious. Women are sensitive by nature, but with just one sound, she heard Jiang Cishu's cold words, and there seemed to be great pathos.
