Chapter 133
"That shop was originally a bookstore, and a few people who selected books lived in it. Later, someone discovered that the articles selected by their bookstore often implied dissatisfaction with Mr. Xiao. At that time, Mr. Xiao was very powerful in the court, Yong Ning Bo couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

If you don't drive them away, the good-for-nothings will get the handle and report to Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xiao will think that Yong Ningbo acquiesced, and you will offend Mr. Xiao; if you drive them away, they are not allowed to treat Mr. Xiao Tai Tuo is disrespectful. In the future, Tai Tuo Xiao will be unlucky, and the royal family will think that Uncle Yong Ning has taken refuge in Tai Tuo Xiao.

It happened that Manager Lin took Aunt Tao's brother to look for a house, and this word reached Uncle Yongning's ears, and he said that the Shengchang Houfu wanted to use this shop, and used this excuse to drive the group of students away.

The shop became vacant, and Mr. Lin wanted to rent it, but Yong Ningbo said he was willing to sell it, and offered [-]% of the price.Manager Lin asked Lord Hou about it.

Lord Hou said that Yong Ningbo asked his old man for something, and he took this shop as a favor, and he was worried if he didn't accept Yong Ningbo, so he asked Mr. Lin to buy it with peace of mind.

Then Aunt Tao's elder brother opened the rouge shop. "Qiangwei recovered Sheng Xiuyi's word clearly.

Sheng Xiuyi couldn't help nodding his head slightly.

The maids in the inner house are not very clear about the people and things in the court.Even if they let them learn the tongue, they may not remember it all, it's hard for Qiangwei to write every word, and there are no mistakes in what she said.

After hearing Qiangwei's words, Sheng Xiuyi got up and went to the small study.

After writing a post, he still asked Qiangwei to send it to the outer courtyard to give blessings to his servant.

He himself did not step out of the inner courtyard door, as if deliberately avoiding something.

Laifu took the post written by Sheng Xiuyi and thanked Qiangwei.

Laifu is different from Lai'an, Sheng Xiuyi's other servant.He was tall and strong, with a dark complexion, even a bit fierce, not as fair and good-looking as Lai'an.

After reading the post written by Sheng Xiuyi, his eyes turned around Qiangwei, and then he couldn't help but take a look at her.

Just when Qiangwei raised her eyes, she saw him looking at her with hot eyes.From Qiangwei's point of view, this was frivolity, anger rose from the bottom of her heart, and a pair of watery almond eyes stared at him, about to explode.

Laifu was suddenly stared at by this girl, but he couldn't bear it anymore, his face became hot, he looked away embarrassingly, and turned to look at the post again, but his ears turned red.

He was so ashamed that Qiangwei couldn't vent her anger.

On the way back, she couldn't help but think of the boy's blushing ears, and she also felt her cheeks burning hot.

Back at Jingsheyuan, Qiangwei learned that Sheng Xiuyi was talking to Dong Yuan in the inner room, so she went in to report to Sheng Xiuyi, and went to Nuan Pavilion to take care of the third young master Sheng Xiuyi.

As soon as she went out, Dong Yuan smiled and asked Sheng Xiuyi: "Have you asked clearly? Aunt Tao's brother's shop has taken Yong Ningbo's favor?"

"You can't say it." Sheng Xiuyi laughed, "Daddy knows about this, so it's fine. Yongning Bo and Daddy are the best friends. If Daddy doesn't know about it, and Bo Yongning tells it about it in the future, I'm afraid it will happen again. Blame it on me."

As he spoke, he smiled slightly.

Only then did Dong Yuan feel relieved.

A few more days later, on March [-]th, Sheng Xiuyi had breakfast in Jingshe Yuan, the nurse carried the baby to the inner room to show Dong Yuan, Sheng Xiuyi held the baby in her hands and teased it for a while.

The little maid came in and said that the son An Xun is here.

Sheng Xiuyi's expression was slightly stagnant, he handed the baby to the wet nurse, and hurried out.

Lai An talked with Sheng Xiuyi for a while in the small study, Sheng Xiuyi went back to the room to change clothes, and said to Dong Yuan: "There is something in the yamen, I am late tonight, so I will rest in the outer courtyard."

The room was full of people serving, Dong Yuan naturally wouldn't ask anything, but respectfully said that he understood.

As soon as Sheng Xiuyi left the inner room, Mrs. Sheng walked in with the support of Mother Kang and Citron.

"Going out?" Mrs. Sheng asked Sheng Xiuyi.

Sheng Xiuyi greeted her, and said with a smile: "It's a small matter in the yamen, let's go and have a look."

Mrs. Sheng nodded, and went into the inner room to look at Dong Yuan.

"Just now your third aunt sent the mother in charge to tell me that the sixth aunt gave birth to a fat boy last night!" Mrs. Sheng sat beside Dong Yuan's bed, holding Sheng Lecheng in her arms, and said to Dong Yuan .

He couldn't hide his joy in his tone.

There are four nephews in the second room and the third room. The fourth child is looking for death for an aunt, and his health is not good; Although the married daughter-in-law looks good and has a good temper, she is a beauty as thin as a kite, and it is not easy to give birth.

Now only the sixth house finally had a child, and it was a boy, the eldest grandson of the third house.

The first child is a male, which is an auspicious sign. Are you afraid that you will not have strong offspring in the future?

"Third Aunt must be very happy." Dong Yuan laughed.

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Sheng laughed, "It is more solemn to baptize a child three times, so I must go! If there are ten or eight children in the fifth and sixth rooms, and the children born by your aunt, your third aunt will also give birth to children." Won't bother me to go there.

But Sanfang has been through these years, and finally got such a precious grandson, not to mention that the daughter of a good family who was brought in was born by an aunt, she is a maid girl, I should give you the face of the third aunt . "

Dong Yuan just laughed: "You should be happy, mother will also feed the child for me when the time comes."

Mrs. Sheng said yes: "If you have such a heart, your third aunt will definitely like it. Mother will prepare a gift for you."

Dong Yuan is the nephew's daughter-in-law, and it's only a few silver coins for the third-fang child, so she didn't refuse, and let Mrs. Sheng help her prepare the gift, just saying: "Thank you."

*****************
Sheng Xiuyi went to the outer courtyard, took his servants Lai'an and Laifu out, left the capital, and went to a small town in the eastern suburbs.

When he came back, he brought a carriage with him, and instead of going back to Shengchang Hou's mansion, he went to the house of his friend Cheng Yongxuan.

I had dinner at Cheng's mansion and didn't go home until the curfew.

The inner courtyard of Sheng Mansion has been locked, and Sheng Xiuyi still lives in the study.

He leaned over his desk and wrote the greeting card, handed it to Lai'an, and said: "Tomorrow morning, you will take this card to Xingping Prince's Mansion, wait for their mansion to open, and give this card to King Xingping."

Lai An put it carefully in his arms, said yes, then thought about it, and asked: "My lord, are you going to take advantage of King Xingping like this? You found His Majesty's bead, why didn't you take it to ask for the reward yourself?"

He really didn't understand, the master spent so much effort to get the man from King Xingping, but he was going to pay a visit to King Xingping and send him back, what was his plan.

Sheng Xiuyi smiled: "I care about myself, you all go down and rest."

Lai'an and Laifu said yes.

After leaving the study room, Lai An was still not quite reconciled, and asked Lai Fu again: "...Brother, what do you think the Elder Son thinks?"

Lai Fu said: "If you spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to get such two people, would you be willing to give up the lottery to others?"

Lai An shook his head affirmatively.

Lai Fu said: "Isn't this the end? You all know that it is a loss-making business to give to others. Don't you know the son? From this, it can be seen that the reward cannot be claimed by the son."

"Why?" Lai An was puzzled, "Afraid of offending King Xingping?"

Then he curled his lips, not quite believing it.

What kind of power is the Sheng family? Is it an ordinary family that is afraid of seeing King Xingping?
Lai Fu also shook his head, and then asked Lai An: "Understood, how much more money can you get?"

Lai'an wondered if he could say such a thing.

Lai Fu said again: "It's not good for you. What are you doing to get to the bottom of it? Go to sleep. You're late in delivering the post tomorrow morning, and you should be punished again."

Laian had no choice but to go back to his own residence.

In the early morning of the next day, Marquis Sheng Chang and the third master Sheng Xiumu went to the court, Lai'an waited for the master Hou and the third master to leave, then went out and went straight to the Xingping Palace.

Early in the early spring of March, the thin shirt couldn't stand the chill, and Lai'an was shivering from the cold, standing at the corner of the gate of the Xingping Palace with his sleeves rolled up.

No one is an official in the Xingping Palace, and there is no need to go to court, and the gates are only opened in Maozheng, which is two hours later than Shengchang Hou's Mansion.

Being a slave in the Xingping Prince's Mansion doesn't have to be so early, but it is also a blessing.Lai'an thought about it, and went forward to salute the person on the door, saying his identity.

Hearing that the man was from the Shengchang Marquis Mansion, he treated Lai'an with three points of courtesy.

Lai An took out the greeting card, and the man hurriedly invited him to sit in the concierge, took the greeting card with his own hands and sent it in.

King Xingping hadn't woken up yet, the steward held Sheng Xiuyi's letter of invitation and dared not enter, and waited at the door until Sichu, when there was no news that King Xingping had got up.

Lai'an waited for three hours in the gatehouse of Xingping Palace.

Fortunately, he came from a very serious background, and those servants did not dare to treat him lightly.Knowing that he hadn't eaten in the morning, the steward ordered the cook to bring him some snacks and hot tea.

Although he was not hungry, he was anxiously waiting.

At the second quarter of the sixth lunar month, the servants beside King Xingping came to invite Lai Ann.

King Xingping is not as fat-headed as Lai An imagined, on the contrary, he has a clear face and a tall stature. Although he is getting old, he is still a handsome man.

It's just that the eyes are darker, making people afraid to look directly at them.

He should be about the same age as Sheng Changhou, but because he is pampered and fair-skinned, he looks only in his early forties, ten years younger than Sheng Changhou.

He asked Lai'an: "What's the matter with your family's son, asking you to come here early in the morning?"

An urgent matter was written in the invitation letter, and he still had to ask him, Lai An thought, this King Xingping was not stupid at all, on the contrary he was an extremely shrewd person.

"The young one is just running errands for the son, without knowing it." Lai An said.

King Xingping glanced at the boy next to him, asked him to give Lai a purse, and said, "This is for you to drink tea. Go back and report to your family's elder son, I have to be free today, so let him come and sit at any time ..."

Holding it in the palm of his hand, Lai An reckoned it was about five taels of silver, respectfully kowtowed to King Xingping, and walked away pretending to be confused.

Just don't say what Sheng Xiuyi is so abnormally seeking to see.

King Xingping thought that Lai'an didn't understand that he was giving money to get information, and seeing him leave without saying anything, he couldn't help being funny: people say Sheng Xiuyi is mediocre, I'm afraid it's true.

Look at his boy, he has no discernment.
