The beautiful man who was kicked flying in the yard screamed, and when he got up, a few dead leaves had been inserted into his unruly hair, and some mud was also stained on his porcelain-white jade cheeks. The gorgeous brocade clothes were more expensive The dark blue color is not very dirty.
But a handsome man who was supposed to be as handsome as jade was kicked away like this, and his image was turned into nothingness.
The guards on both sides of the road lowered their heads, their expressions were solemn, with an expression of "I didn't see anything" on their faces.
Ananda 囧囧 was so energetic that even the two maids behind her, Rucui and Rulan, opened their mouths wide. The nuns in Su Wang's mansion looked up at the sky and the earth, as if they were busy with a lot of things.
Gently and neatly pushed the long hair hanging down to the chest to the back of the head, took off the dead leaves inserted in the hair in twos and twos, wiped his face gracefully with the handkerchief, then straightened his clothes, and returned to the previous one Mr. Pianpianzhuo Shijia's high-spirited and romantic appearance, as if he was not the one who was kicked away earlier. For a moment, that gorgeous and graceful man, with a smile on his face, looked like a flower, making people sigh with emotion, he deserves to be the most beautiful man in the capital.
"Ba Ning, you are so enthusiastic~" Wen Liang threw off the folding fan with a snap, shook it lightly, and complained a few words, seeing Chu Baning's expression as usual, and even not giving him a glance, he could only pretend to sigh He followed behind him like a little daughter-in-law.
The two quickly saw the end of the corridor, where a girl in a gorgeous palace dress and two beautiful maids were waiting there.
Wen Zixiu slowed down his pace, came lightly waving his folding fan, looked at them with affectionate peach blossom eyes, as if they were the most beautiful scenery in the world, and had already entered his heart—Ananda pouted, finally knowing Why would he become the daughter of all the boudoirs in the capital who will fall in love at first sight and never marry if they are not the king? It is too deceptive.
If it wasn't for seeing him in a mess just now, and seeing such a flamboyant man, I'm afraid it would make one's heart melt.
Ananda brought two maidservants forward to salute, Rulan was expressionless and kept her eyes fixed, Rucui buried her head in a snicker, but also respectfully followed suit.
"My lord, you are back!"
Chu Ba Ning walked up with his sleeves folded, nodded, and said to Ananda: "Princess, this is Wen Liang, the young son of Lord Zhen Guo, Zixiu, this is my wife, Mrs. Lu."
Wen Liang gracefully bowed his head to Ananda, and said in a very masculine voice, "Wen Zixiu has seen the princess."
"My lord, you are polite." Ananda saluted back with a calm expression on his face.
No matter how personable Wen Liang is, and how hard he tries to save his image, Ananda's impression still stays in the scene where he was kicked away by her prince and husband just now. He no longer has any attractive charm, no matter how he looks at it, he wants to laugh. In order not to laugh, Ananda didn't even look at him, but only looked at her prince.
"I'm sorry to say that when you got married, Zixiu dealt with the North Vietnamese in Tongcheng. He didn't know that the prince's wedding had passed until he returned to the capital a few days ago." Wen Liang said, his face full of melancholy, as if it was a What a regrettable thing: "I'm really sorry that Zixiu couldn't catch up with your wedding. I can see King Su getting married in this life. Zixiu feels that I really have no regrets in death..." Wen Liang said, raising his sleeves to probe Moist eyes.
"..."
Ananda: =__=! This girl is really looking for death! He's so good at acting!
Wen Liang talked about love for a while, and almost said that King Su is his son. Seeing him happy and happy, let him, an old man, enjoy his life in peace... Chu Baning's expression is getting darker and darker, Ananda She also curled her lips secretly, thinking that men are so talkative, Chu Baning should open her eyes wide to see, this kind of talkative mother-in-law, don't think that only girls are talkative.
"Princess, this is Zixiu's wedding gift to you, a little thought, nothing to worry about." Wen Liang handed over a brocade box.
After Ru Lan stepped forward to take it, Ananda said with a smile on his face, "Young Master Wen has a heart."
After Wen Liang finished delivering the gifts, he started to shake his fan again, and said calmly, "Princess, you don't have to be polite. Zixiu and the prince grew up together. We have a fateful friendship. Zixiu's things are actually Your lord's stuff, your lord's stuff..."
"Shut up!" Chu Baning couldn't listen anymore.
Does this girl want to say "The prince's stuff is also his stuff"? Can't blame the old butler for not wanting to see him so much, Ananda realized that he didn't like him anymore.
Ananda quickly interrupted and said, "My lord, Mr. Wen, the banquet is ready."
Chu Baning nodded, and took Wen Liang to the main hall. Because of the difference between men and women, Ananda commanded the people to serve the food and wine, saluted Chu Baning and Wen Liang, and left with the maids.
"My lord, my concubine is actually quite virtuous. Why does everyone outside say she is a jealous woman? How dare you take the woman bestowed to you by the empress dowager back to the palace?"
Far away, Ananda heard Wen Liang's questioning voice. This man's voice is really alluring, just listening to it makes women dream about it.
"...the rumors are unbelievable!"
"Hey~~ No, you really... ah-you can't hit someone in the face, I only have the face to see!!!"
Ananda clenched his fists and applauded secretly: o(≧v≦)o~~My lord, well played!
Ananda took a look, chose a secret corner, leaned on the wall not far from the main hall, ignored Ru Lan's expression of disapproval, and drove the two maids to look out for the wind, then pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.
After a while, Wen Liang's sad voice sounded again: "...I said, Ba Ning, which of us is with whom? How could you suddenly get married? Even if you are married, you should inform me? I know you have your responsibility , it won't stop you from getting married..."
Ananda's heart twitched when he heard it, and he said to himself: Every man has a good friend! It seems that Chu Baning's good friend is Wen Liang.
"No need!" Chu Baning's voice was low but calm.
"How could it be unnecessary? Baning, you know that I treat you..."
Then, there was no sound.
Ananda cursed in his heart: Your sister! What do you want to say? Don't tarnish my prince!
"Ah—a gentleman uses his mouth but doesn't move his hands. Chu Baning, you have always talked about being a gentleman. What you are doing now is not a gentleman... Ah, let go, you will pull out my hair. It took so long to grow so long …”
... ... ...
Ananda almost scratched the wall, and roared in his heart: What the hell is going on? Could it be that her rival in love is not only a woman but also the number one man in the capital? What kind of shit is this! !
"princess?"
Just when Ananda was cursing in his heart a bad man who wanted to break up her man, a cautious voice sounded, Ananda was startled, and turned his head in shock to see the old housekeeper standing not far away looking at him strangely. Own. The two maids in my family who were supposed to watch out for her stood there with their heads down, like two logs.
Ananda cursed in his heart, and decided to go back and definitely get a "Professional Maid Code" for them. He must cultivate qualified, standard, and good maids who share the master's worries, not this kind of maid who can't even do a good job. Maid.
Ananda smiled mischievously, touched the wall, his voice was very low—for fear that the people in the main hall would hear, "Hehe, Housekeeper Qin, the paint on this wall is a little off, let's call some craftsmen to fix it some other day."
The old housekeeper said solemnly: "Okay, the princess doesn't have to worry about it, just leave it to the old slave."
Ananda nodded reservedly, and left with the two maids in a calm manner.
The old butler sent them off respectfully, and when the figures of the princess and the two maids disappeared, the old butler took a look, reached out and touched the wall, then gathered his sleeves, imitating the posture of someone just now, and put his ears on it.
After listening for a while, until a normal voice came from the main hall, the old butler secretly heaved a sigh of relief before leaving in peace.
"Oh, why did one or two leave? What a pity~~"
In the main hall, the handsome and handsome man slowly waved his folding fan, with a smile on his face, he smiled and said to the solemn man opposite who was drinking slowly, "Butler Qin is still the same~~ Mrs. Sister-in-law is also interesting~"
Chu Baning glanced at him, saw that he looked like a romantic, and reprimanded him: "How can you be so unrestrained?"
Wen Liang retorted with a smile: "Life is so short, so why not indulge yourself?" As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and said with great interest: "Every time I came to your place before, Butler Qin guarded me like a thief. No Thinking of you marrying a wife, he is still on guard against me. Hehe, and your wife is also interesting... Are the daughters of the prime minister's family so different?"
"..."
"It's a pity why I didn't marry a daughter from the Lu family? Even if it's not a daughter from the Lu family, it's fine, as long as it's someone who can make me happy... with such an interesting beautiful woman as a companion, I won't be lonely all my life!" Wen Liang sighed, remembering just now Although the girl was not outstanding, she was round and waxy, with a sweet smile, like a snow ball, very friendly, and made people feel festive from the bottom of their hearts.
Chu Baning put the wine glass on the table, looked at him with deep and cold eyes, and snorted: "Take your eyes back for me, if you dare to turn around, I don't mind poking it blind."
Wen Liang laughed loudly, and slapped the folding fan away: "Chu Baning, Chu Baning, you have this day too!"
Chu Baning's eyes were cold, "Is this king's name taboo you can call?"
"I can't call, so is it only your relatives and concubines who can call?" Wen Liang teased, completely ignoring his solemn expression, looking leisurely.
Chu Ba Ning frowned, and said seriously: "You look so decent, I can't blame Zhen Guogong for throwing you to Tongcheng to practice! If you don't change your virtue, if something happens in the future, Zhen Guogong will not be able to keep you!"
Wen Liang held the jug in his hand, drank heavily, but smiled freely, "It's just a life, let's lose it!" Seeing Chu Baning's disapproving eyes, he changed the subject, "Okay, let's get down to business. My lord, when will the emperor order you to escort the grain and grass to Tongcheng?"
"In two more days." Speaking of business, Chu Baning straightened his back and said: "The route has been drawn up, and this time the food transportation must be foolproof, and no accidents are allowed." As he said, Chu Baning detailed the route After saying it again, he asked, "Do you think this route is feasible?"
"The route is okay, but...hehe, there is one more factor to consider. You know, the North Vietnamese royal court can't wait!" Wen Liang waved his folding fan, his expression retracted, and he put away the romantic smell a little bit, with a relaxed look on his face. Profound, with a natural charm: "My lord, our spies in North Vietnam have sent a message that the North Vietnamese vanguard general Arkai has learned that this batch of grain and grass will be transported to the border town in the near future. Butterfly Valley set up an ambush to rob this batch of food and grass. In this way, they can count as one blow, not only solving their problem of food and grass for the winter, but also dealing a fatal blow to our court."
"How courageous!" Chu Baning looked coldly, looked at the sky outside the window coldly, and said for a while: "This matter still needs to be discussed with the emperor in the palace. Maybe... we can use our plan to catch them all in Tiandie Valley " Chu Baning said softly, knocking on the table.
"Hehe, this is a good idea, I think so too!" Wen Liangyan laughed at Yanyan.
The eyes of the two men split apart, and then each fell silent.
*****
Ananda took the two maids to the Shuangrong Courtyard where she lived, complaining that the two maids did not protect the Lord, which made her feel ashamed.
Ru Lan frowned, her master's virtue was already embarrassing enough, she didn't expect to be caught by someone for doing something embarrassing, she was also very embarrassing as a maid.
Only Ru Cui dared to retort, "Miss, who asked you to eavesdrop? Don't you know that people are easy to appear in public places?"
Ananda said angrily, "You're talking nonsense! It's obviously a place where few people go, and it's also very secretive. You two dead girls must be standing there like a piece of wood to provoke the old housekeeper!"
"Miss, I've already signaled you, but you didn't see it yourself."
"Bah, can I see you gesturing behind my ass?" Ananda scolded back.
"Miss, you bully..."
Seeing that the master and servant were talking more and more shamelessly, Ru Lan quickly stopped them, and if they wanted to quarrel, they had to wait until they returned to their room. Didn't they see that there were still some nanny sweeping the floor around
Back at Shuangrongyuan, the more Ananda thought about it, the more angry she became. At the same time, she was also worried that her prince would be touched by Wen Zixiu, who obviously had malicious intentions. That's too late.
"Miss, where do you put this gift?" Ru Cui asked holding a brocade box.
Anan took a look and saw that it was Wen Zixiu's wedding gift to them, so she had the urge to throw it away. After thinking about it, she asked Ru Cui to bring it over to see what he could give him.
When Ananda opened the brocade box and saw the contents of the brocade box, he gasped.
In fact, not only her, even the two maids Ru Cui Ru Lan had the same expression.
In the brocade box, there is a ginseng lying quietly. This ginseng is well maintained from the head to the roots. Ananda had never seen such a large-rooted ginseng in his previous life, and the age of this ginseng is estimated to be hundreds of years. Moreover, such a large ginseng is rarely seen in the palace, not to mention the common people, but it has a price but no market. Seeing it all at once—and it still belonged to him, Ananda felt dizzy for a while.
Ginseng is a good thing, but it is a good thing for saving lives and continuing to hang lives!
"Wow, what a big goblin!" Ru Cui stared at the ginseng in the brocade box with bright eyes, and said excitedly: "Miss, this goblin seems to be thousands of years old, and even the prime minister's wife may not have such a head." My goblin. Oh, Mr. Wen is such a good person, he is willing to give such a precious gift~~" Rucui sent Wen Liang a good person card without hesitation.
"Goblin?" Ananda was obviously stunned, and then remembered that ginseng had other names such as "yellow ginseng", "goblin" and "sacred grass" in ancient times, and people in this world are more accustomed to calling them "goblins".
Ananda was elated, and he agreed with Ru Cui's statement, Wen Liang is indeed a good person~~~
