Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 229 Surprises 4.0

"Hey, what kind of a number is five hundred? It should be six hundred taels. Six or six is ​​a smooth flow. It sounds auspicious, doesn't it?" Xue Ruitian nodded and looked at Shen Haolin, "Let me see, our It’s fine if the congratulatory gift doesn’t exceed this number.”

"Six hundred is a good number." Shen Haolin nodded in agreement, "The exact amount is up to everyone to decide for themselves, the two old people won't argue, after all, congratulatory gifts are just for expressing one's own feelings. . . "

"Yes, Master has never paid much attention to this aspect. Every year on his birthday, my brother and I just send some special products from our place." Shen Cha also said, "What he cares about is the friendship with everyone. It's not about the importance of gifts. Besides, we can't make too much noise, the princess's wedding has just been canceled, so it's better to restrain yourself."

"Sister Xiaocha is right!" Song Qiyun and Xia Jiu said in unison, "Don't be caught by those who don't like us, and later charge us with an unfounded crime. It's not good if a happy event turns into a bad one."

"No, we still have to take into account the feelings of the two county princes and the marquis!" Lu Shengyuan shook his head, "When Xiao Yun talked about this, we were all shocked. Who would have imagined that he is famous? It's unbelievable that Prince Yihe's mansion was destroyed by a marriage."

"If you don't work, you won't die, it is very appropriate to give the words of Prince Yihe's mansion." Song Qiyun sneered, "You don't have to feel wronged, the old prince. The decline of Prince Yihe's mansion has a lot to do with his inability to teach his children well."

"Even outsiders know that he is partial to the eldest son and doesn't care about the other two sons. It's extremely normal for those two children to look good or bad." Lu Shengyuan sighed, "The third son is okay, just a bookworm , Cowardly, a little cowardly, it will not cause too much harm to others, but it will cause troubles of one kind or another. But our second son is black-hearted, and what he can't get, he simply Destroy it, and ruin it completely, and you can never stand up again."

"On the surface, he is a sunny and handsome son, but in fact he is a cunning schemer. If the second son goes to sing in an opera, he will really become a famous actor!" Tian Yun sneered, "Fortunately, he didn't have time to join the army. If he joins the army , his life in the army was unsatisfactory, and the speed of promotion did not meet his expectations, so it is not impossible for him to seek refuge with a foreign race in a fit of anger."

"I feel good about myself, very self-righteous, as if everyone wants to surround him and support him, and can't ignore him, otherwise, it is the fault of others, that is, others are sorry for him, and what he did to these things It’s all taken for granted.” Qiao Zi reached out and snatched a rice ball from Song Qiyun’s table, took a bite, and continued, “I really want to ask him, why is the person in this world his father or his mother? You have to follow his will and revolve around him. Is it possible that he is dissatisfied with someone, and everyone should criticize this person? Don’t tell me that when he is angry, everyone should be angry with him and scold the shrew with him The same curse?"

"That's right, who does he think he is? The emperor?" Xia Jiu nodded frequently, "Even the emperor dare not ask everyone to follow his wishes. Whether it is a young courtier or a very respected old man in the court, Dare to point at the emperor's nose and scold him, the emperor accepted it with a smile. Does Zhao Yinhe think that he is more noble than my emperor? He thinks he is the emperor..." Xia Tian stopped suddenly, He opened his eyes wide and looked at Shen Haolin, and then at Xue Ruitian, "He... didn't really have this intention in mind when he took the initiative to ask the emperor to marry him, did he?"

"No." Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian shook their heads at the same time, "You think too much, with his brain, he would never have thought of such a profound step."

"Really?" Xia Jiu rubbed his head, "I always feel that this person's ambition is not just to get a Prince Jardine's Mansion."

"No matter how ambitious he is, it's just an empty game now. What's more, with his strength, do you think he can beat the patrol battalion or the imperial army? If there is such a sign, the shadow staring at him will have discovered it long ago, won't Until today, he will not be convicted of such a crime."

"It's fine." Xia Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, "If he really has this idea, it's better to kill him, and he doesn't need to be sent to us."

"It's not good to think too much, young man!" Qiao Zi wiped her oily paws with a wet handkerchief, "If His Majesty really executes him, it will be considered cheap for him, but if he is really sent to the border, Then don't blame us for being rude, we will treat him well and let him taste the feeling that life is worse than death. By the way, don't the deputy commander-in-chief and Yan Bo know?"

"I don't know. I can't hide it from them for the time being. It's not too late." After finishing his tea, Shen Haolin poured himself another cup. That's good. As for furnishing the house, what other ideas do you have?"

At this moment, Jin Miaomiao opened the door and came in, "Hey, everyone is here, just in time, we can get busy."

"Why are you so anxious, Jin Miaomiao, we haven't finished discussing here yet!" Xue Ruitian called her over to sit down, "Let's divide the work first, there are two places that need to be rearranged, one is here, and the other is Yan Bo. yard."

"I took Xiaocha, Qiyun, and Meizhu to Yanbo's courtyard, and Xiaotian, Hongye, and Meilin were in charge of the layout of the warm pavilion." Shen Haolin looked at the generals sitting on the left, "The others brought your guards Go and help Miao Miao, just get some for lunch, no special trouble."

"Okay, that's it!"

Jin Miaomiao was confused, "What are you talking about in such a mess? It's settled? Why didn't I understand?"

"You don't need to understand, your task today is to make this evening's meal beautiful." Jin Jing patted his sister on the back vigorously, "This is a wedding banquet, and it is enough for you to remember that gone."

"Wedding banquet?" Jin Miaomiao's eyes lit up, "Understood, I will do it well!"

The others followed Jin Miaomiao out of the Nuan Pavilion and went to the small dining room of the Duke's Mansion. In the Nuo Pavilion, there were only a few people who were responsible for arranging the Nuan Pavilion and Yan Bo's courtyard. They exchanged glances and sighed at the same time.

"I think that if we don't take the initiative to stand up, Miao Miao will also kick us out." Shen Cha raised an eyebrow, "Look at the few people left behind, they are all people who Miao Miao has repeatedly prohibited from approaching the dining room. "

"We are all self-aware people. We propose to do other things first, so as not to be coaxed out by that girl Jin Miaomiao, who will have a strange face." Xue Ruitian stood up and walked around the Nuan Pavilion twice, " I don’t think it’s good to tie the red silk that Old Qiao said, it’s like that kind of place!” He blinked, “That’s the kind of place, ah, you know.”

"Don't be so secretive!" Hongye kicked Xue Ruitian, "Isn't it just a brothel, as if you've never been there before."

"I said, why do you like beating people so much these two days?" Xue Ruitian turned around, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smirk, "You didn't go there too, did you?"

"Which time did you go without me?" Hongye raised her eyebrows, "But you're right, it really doesn't look good to wear red silk everywhere, and it looks very tacky." She looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "What do you two think?" Woolen cloth?"

"When Old Qiao said it, I just imagined it. It was indeed not good. Uncle and Yan Bo would not like it. But, seeing how happy he was talking, I didn't have the nerve to interrupt him." Shen Haolin nodded, "I I remember that there seem to be things for weddings in the storeroom, let's just pick out some pleasing ones and display them, red silk or something..." He waved his hand, "When Lao Qiao gets married, let's use it for him!"

"Ah-choo! Ah-choo! Ah-choo!" Qiao Zi, who had just arrived at the door of the small dining room, sneezed a dozen times in one breath, causing the people next to him to recite Amitabha Buddha to him.After sneezing, he rubbed his nose and ears, "Why do I feel itchy nose and itchy ears? Is someone talking ill of me behind my back?"

"It's really possible." Tian Yun said coolly, "Did you do something immoral that you don't even know about?"

"Bah, you're the one doing immoral things!" Qiao Zi reached out and hooked Tian Yun's shoulder, "Why don't you say that someone is jealous of my beauty?"

"Ouch!" Tian Yun made a vomiting motion, patted Qiao Zi's face with her backhand, and said with disgust, "Where's your face? Did you run away from home?"

Qiao Zi shook her head towards Tian Yun, the smile on her face looked particularly unbearable.
