"Hahaha, you are so cunning that you seem like a ghost, and you still eat my footwashing water!"
When the British battle report showed that Sufangyuan accepted the Persian cat, Lu Yuan, the military advisor invited by King Zhan, laughed triumphantly, "Qi Ye, what's the matter, is the younger brother's method wonderful?"
Chun Yuxuan cast a sideways glance at the military adviser who was shaking his head and tail. Although he was quite disgusted with his words, "you are so cunning that you are like a ghost, you can also eat my footwashing water", but he had to admit that this guy's method really worked. .
"Hey, as long as she accepts your cat, you will often visit and feed the cat in the future, and give away a male cat when the cat is in heat. Some of them are excuses to see her. A good girl is afraid of being entangled by a man, so just rely on Qi Ye Your identity, appearance, and financial resources, as long as you put a little thought into it, she won't be able to escape!" Lu Yuan vowed.
Chun Yuxuan didn't say a word, but he acquiesced in Lu Yuan's method in his heart.
He grew up together since he was a child, and he knows what kind of person Lu Yuan is. When he was seven or eight years old and followed his master to read and write articles, Lu Yuan was already chasing court ladies and calling him "sister" and eating rouge on other people's mouths. . Born to be a flamboyant, he loved to hang out with women since he was a child, and he was the best at coaxing women. His ideas should not be bad.
"Qi Ye, my brother helped you this time, how do you plan to thank me?" Lu Yuan thought he had made a contribution, and asked for the reward with a playful smile.
Lu Yuan is the only son of Eldest Princess Rong Xin, and he grew up with Chun Yuzhen since childhood, so when he was with him, he was not as restrained and respectful as others.
Chun Yuxuan didn't take it seriously either, growing up wearing crotch pants together, his feelings for Lu Yuan were similar to those of his own brother, but this guy was too feminine and cynical, otherwise he would have valued him more.
However, despite his lustful habits, Lu Yuan did not disappoint him too much. At the very beginning, Chunyu Jue thought that Lu Yuan would be like other dandies, without any great achievements, lying on the ancestral credit book waiting to inherit Noble title, the kind of aristocratic dude with a mediocre life, a beautiful wife, beautiful concubines and children. But he actually joined the army, and he became a general by his own ability. Chunyu Yu was also very surprised when he saw him in his army. He just laughed and said that he escaped because his mother forced him to get married.
Later, Chun Yuxuan suspected that this guy might be a girl from the capital. He was tired of playing, so he opened up a new battlefield to try something new.
"How about rewarding you with a thousand taels of silver?" Chunyu Yu still appreciated Lu Yuan's generous gift.
Lu Yuan shook his head and smiled, "I don't ask for yellow and white things, I just want to see what the girl you want to please, Qi Ye, looks like, ha ha!"
Lu Yuan felt that the woman who could tempt the iron-blooded and ruthless King Zhan must be the most beautiful woman in the world. At first, he thought that the most beautiful woman in the world was Princess An'an, but judging from King Zhan's attitude, this girl is more beautiful than her. Princess An'an is much better, he never put An'an in his eyes, he simply dismissed it, but this girl, he not only puts it in his eyes, but also puts it on the tip of his heart, wishing to do everything he can to please her .
The one who can compare to a stunning beauty like An An must be the most stunning, so he became even more curious and wanted to see this girl!
To this request, Chunyu Xun answered very simply - "Dream!"
Other men want to see her, but he still can't agree, and Lu Yuan can't do it, this guy is used to working hard on women, and from the capital to Jizhou, he has been wandering among the flowers, there is no woman he can't take down . Lan'er is so good, if he saw it, he would definitely like it too. I haven't settled it yet, and if I come to poach the wall, won't it just add to my troubles
When Lu Yuan saw that he refused, he said with a smile: "When did Qi Ye become so mean? It's just to see your heart. What's there to be reluctant? I've seen your fiancée before. I've never seen you sting like a scorpion!"
Chun Yuxuan said: "If you say you can't do it, you can't do it, so you don't have to think about it!"
Lu Yuan smiled and took out a peanut from a plate of rice grains on the table, threw it in his mouth, and said: "Looking at Qiye's appearance, the younger ones are even more curious. Since Qiye won't show it, little brother I just had to figure it out on my own…”
Before he could finish speaking, Chunyu flicked the peanut over with one finger. If Lu Can hadn't been able to dodge it quickly, he might have been shot through. He was not angry, but pretended to be surprised and said: "My God, it turns out that the first... cycad tree in our capital really bloomed. Why, this time it's for real?"
"She is the future Princess Zhan, she is different from those women, please be respectful in what you say and do." Chunyu said in a deep voice.
The cynicism on Lu Yuan's face suddenly stopped, "Seventh Master, Seventh Brother, no, His Royal Highness King Zhan, are you kidding me?"
After finishing speaking, he thought that this master never joked, and was startled: "You don't really want to do this, do you? Why do you have such a ridiculous idea? An An is engaged to you, and you leave him in the On the way, what do you ask the girl to do in the future? Also, which lady is your favorite lady? Is there any lady in Jizhou who is worthy of your status? The Queen Mother is the most important family, if She is not born enough, the Queen Mother will never agree, even if she has enough status, you can't just give up? An'an was almost poisoned to death for you, and now only half of her life is left hanging, People have fallen to such a point for you, but you want to throw them half way, this is too unfair... "
"Deng An'an, I will find a way to compensate her."
Chun Yuxuan said in a low voice: "But, I won't marry her..."
Because he has already decided who he wants to marry and who he wants to spend the rest of his life with. He no longer thinks that all women in the world are the same, and they can marry anyone. , you must do it according to your own heart, and no one can object...
Seeing that he was serious, Lu Yuan stopped joking and said after a while, "The queen mother will not agree to you. If you insist on going your own way, I'm afraid the queen mother won't be able to tolerate your girl."
What the so-called 'the queen mother can't tolerate' means, Chunyu Yu understood, but he was not afraid.
"Oh, as long as it's on the master's territory, the queen mother can't touch her!"
"So, are you determined to disobey the Empress Dowager and be a heartless person condemned by the world? Don't forget the Empress Dowager's will, your life was saved by the Empress Dowager!"
"I know, no matter what the consequences are, I will bear it!"
The moment he made up his mind to give her the position of concubine, he knew what he was going to face. Not only the queen mother, but even the emperor's brother would definitely be furious and punish him severely. He doesn't want to lose her, so he can only bear the consequences...
When Lu Yuan left, he gave him another trick: "Qi Ye, in fact, sometimes you don't have to spoil a woman blindly when she picks on Joe, let alone lose your sense of proportion for her. In my opinion, the one in your heart Haoer just made such a rude request because she was convinced of you. You only need to push her down and force her to bow, and subdue her on the bed, and she will stop thinking about things she shouldn't be thinking about! "
Chunyu Yu glanced at him, and said coolly, "It seems that you have done a lot of things? Our Northern Army has always had strict military discipline, and rape and robbery are the first-class crimes. And you actually know the law in broad daylight? Yes Do you want to see if the Lord is strict in governing the army?"
Lu Yuan shivered, "Grandpa, Qiye, my good brother, my little brother has never committed rape and robbery, do you think my little brother is like that kind of person who is not as good as a beast?"
"So you let me be that kind of person who is not as good as a beast?"
"Uh... this, this..."
"roll-"
Lu Yuan was gone, and Chun Yuzhen was thinking about whether to go to Sufang Garden to see the 'cat', but the servant who was waiting outside suddenly came to report that it was the one from Sufang Garden who had come.
Chunyuxuan couldn't wait, so he hurriedly called to come in.
Shen Ruolan came to bid farewell, because she suddenly remembered that her father's birthday was celebrated tomorrow, so she just used this excuse to go back.
This is her mother's first birthday after her return. Her mother is not in good health. It is not known whether she will have the opportunity to spend her next birthday with her, so she wants to spend this birthday with her.
Although Chun Yuzhen was reluctant to part with her, but it would be too unreasonable for him not to let her go back for her mother's birthday, and it would make her feel disgusted and resentful. He didn't want that. So, after much hesitation, I agreed.
But there are conditions, she must obediently stay at home after returning home, and is not allowed to go anywhere, if he informs her, she must enter the mansion immediately, without evasion.
Shen Ruolan agreed, even if she stayed in the palace, she would be there at will. In this case, she might as well go back home and live in peace.
Under someone's reluctant gaze, Shen Ruolan walked out of Ting Yuxuan, and when she was about to leave the palace, Yingzhan chased after her and handed Shen Ruolan a carved sandalwood box one foot long and eight inches wide, saying that it was the prince. Give her the bounty.
That is, the ten thousand taels of gold.
When Shen Ruolan opened the box, she saw that there was a thick stack of bank notes inside, all of which had a denomination of one thousand taels.
"This is one hundred thousand taels of silver bill. If it is converted into gold, it will be ten thousand taels of gold. It's just that gold doesn't have a bill, so it's inconvenient to carry, so the master told me to give this to the girl, and the girl should keep it well!"
Shen Ruolan only glanced at it, and then returned the box to Ying Zhan, "Master Qi personally went to the government office of Jizhou to help me before, otherwise I may be in a miserable situation now, and my cat is also Qi The gift from the master must be of great value, and I have no way to repay it, so this bounty should be regarded as a little reward from me to repay Master Qi, please pass it on and tell Master Qi."
Shen Ruolan just wanted to draw a clear line with him. Although one hundred thousand taels of silver was very tempting, she resolutely decided to give up this large bounty in order not to have any financial or human entanglements with him.
Ying Zhan took the box back again, and Chunyu Jue knew as soon as she heard it that she was in a hurry to draw a line with herself. In order not to have anything to do with him, she even gave up one hundred thousand taels of silver, which is really good Great handwriting, great determination!
However, someone snorted coldly, saw his treasure, touched his body, sewed a mark on his body, and wanted to separate himself from him, dreaming!
When Shen Ruolan came home, her parents, Zhu'er and Ju'er were all at home.
Two days ago, Master Zheng, who hadn't shown up for a long time, came to the door suddenly and told them that Lan'er was visiting the palace, and told them not to worry and wait at ease. Why did Lan'er come to the palace as a guest? She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, so she was just waiting for her to come back.
Now that he finally came back, as soon as he entered the door, he was surrounded by his parents, Zhu'er and Ju'er.
"Lan'er, what's the matter? Why did you go to the palace as a guest? When did you meet the prince?"
"Lan'er, has someone bullied you in the palace these few days, have you ever suffered?"
"Sister, sit down and tell us what's going on, we're going to die of anxiety these two days!"
"Sister, I'm going to pour you a glass of water, and you said slowly..."
Shen Ruolan had black hair all over her head, so she had no choice but to sit down and tell her parents the story she had made up in advance.
The general content of the story is: the "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" that she is publishing now is caught by the prince, and the prince is eager to know the story behind, but the book has not been written yet, so she was invited to tell the story to the prince up.
As soon as the compilation was finished, her parents immediately asked, "How did you know those stories? Also, where did you get the stories you often tell those girls?"
Shen Ruolan had no choice but to continue to make up: "Some were inspired by reading books and randomly made up based on the content in the book, and some things were told by the old people in the village when they were talking nonsense together, and then they were processed and told..."
It took a long time to arrange the clouds, mountains, mist, and hype to fool the parents and sisters.
Shen Ruolan secretly wiped off her sweat, she was very tired, fortunately her skill in telling nonsense became more and more refined, otherwise she really couldn't deal with the aggressive questions of the four people all at once.
After the explanation was clear, everyone was relieved, and quickly turned their attention to the kitten that Shen Ruolan brought back.
"Oh, sister, where did this little thing come from, it's so cute!"
Ju'er looked at the little white cat in surprise, her eyes were full of stars, even her parents and Zhu'er looked at the little thing tenderly.
Shen Ruolan said with a smile: "It was given by someone else, it was just born, so delicate!"
Ju'er said: "Then can I hug it? I will be very careful."
"Of course, if you like it, we can raise it together!" Shen Ruolan handed over the little white cat in her arms.
When Ju'er heard that her sister wanted to raise the little white cat with her, her eyes lit up with joy. She took the little white cat carefully, hugged it in her arms full of joy, and gently swayed and coaxed it like a child. , love it very much.
Seeing his daughter returning safely, Shen Dejian's heart that had been hanging for a few days finally returned to its place. After saying a few words, he hurried to go to work in the dim sum shop. After several days of delay, he missed it to death.
Mrs. Mu also didn't eat well or sleep well for a few days. Now that she finally brought her daughter back safely, she felt relieved. After saying a few words, she lost her energy and went back to the kang to lie down and sleep. .
Zhu'er also missed her class for several days, and rushed back to the academy...
The next day, Mu's birthday was celebrated, she was not in good health, and she didn't want to go out to make arrangements, so Shen Ruolan did it herself and made a big table of delicious food at home.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms, steamed fish, crystal elbow, sweet and sour pork ribs... I made seven or eight home-cooked dishes, and set up a large table lively.
I planned to eat with my own family members, but when I didn’t come to eat first, the first cousin came over with his wife and children, and the second cousin also came. The two brothers were also grateful for the care of their second uncle and second aunt. I came to celebrate my second aunt's birthday.
Shen Fucun bought a piece of high-quality satin for Mu's family. This piece of satin alone cost about a tael of silver, which must have been unaffordable in the past.
But it's different now. He is the supervisor of Shen Ruolan's printing factory, and he is in charge of all the purchase, printing and sales issues of the printing factory. Shen Ruolan pays him three taels of silver a month. In addition, if the book sells well, there is an extra commission. .
It can be said that Shen Fucun is not short of money now!
Shen Jincun is also doing well. He used to work as a bookbinding in a printing factory, but during this time, his second aunt was not in good health and was always chirping. The second uncle was worried that the second aunt was often away from the workshop, so he let him He returned to the workshop again, and was responsible for managing the workshop when he was away, and his wages rose to three taels.
It's just that the money he earns has to be handed over to his family, and he can only keep a small part for himself, so the things he buys are simpler than those of his elder brother. He only bought a little musk and ice flakes and other spices. It's worth three to five hundred Wen.
However, no matter how much money they had, the Mu family was still very happy that their brothers would have such a thought, so they asked them to sit down and eat together.
