Chapter 192 is decided

Ru'an looked at Lu Ziqin and asked, "The Duke asked me to discuss marriage with the third wife of the Prime Minister's Palace. Do you want me to inherit the Duke's Palace?"

Ruji's eyes lit up and he said, "Sir, let's reveal this matter to Rong'an Hall."

After being reminded by Ru'an and Ruji, Ruxuan said: "Yes, Rong'an Hall is watching the Duke's Mansion and will never allow this to happen.

We only need to reveal this matter to the old lady, and the old lady will definitely try to stop it. "

"How to get through? We are now confined to Shuyingyuan." Ru Jin asked.

Ruxuan said: "This is simple, let the kitchen cook a few more dishes, we celebrate in the yard, it's lively, and the news will naturally spread."

Lu Ziqin nodded, "Go and get ready!"

Wenyuan Pavilion, after Lu Ziqin left, the British father said to Du Bin: "Find out the two cakes of old white tea from last time, and follow me to Baokangmen.

 Tell him to go down and have people take a look at Shuyingyuan. No one is allowed to enter or exit the Shuying Garden. "

Du Bin hesitated and said, "Master, are you going to see the Prime Minister?"

The British Duke nodded and said: "This matter must be struck while the iron is hot and settled as soon as possible. Otherwise, both Ziqin and the Yang family will be troubled."

“But Mr. Liu didn’t nod…” Du Bin said worriedly.

"You don't know how many axes this child has? Waiting for him to nod, what's the difference between daydreaming?" the British father replied.

Du Bin asked in confusion: "You know that the Sixth Master will not agree, but the Duke of the country still goes to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

The British Duke looked at Du Bin and asked, "Besides accepting death, what else can Ziqin do?"

Du Bin thought for a while and said: "Sixth Master is calm and steady. One is one and the other is two. He has principles and rules. He means what he says. He is humble, polite, elegant, thoughtful, responsible, and responsible... "

The British Duke nodded with a smile and said: "For this point, being responsible is enough.

 The old man helped him settle the marriage and let the whole city know about it, leaving him no room for regrets. With his temper, what will he do? "

 “With Mr. Liu’s temperament, he will nod in recognition.” Du Bin replied.

Yingying nodded with satisfaction, "Hurry up and find the old white tea."

Du Bin leaned forward and said, "Okay. Where is the old lady..." Before going out, Du Bin turned around and asked.

The British Duke frowned and said, "Hide it for now."

"Oh, okay, I understand." Du Bin turned around and went out.

Shuyingyuan, for example, asked people to put a table in the yard, and also asked the kitchen to put the fire in the yard, and cook directly in the yard.

Because there was not enough food, Ruxuan went out to buy food and was stopped by the guards.

  "Manager Xuan, the Duke of the State has given orders that no one in Shuyingyuan can come in or out within three days."

Ruxuan asked in confusion: "Why? Today is a good day for our grandfather. The emperor personally came to crown our grandfather, and the Duke personally negotiated for our grandfather's marriage."

Our father had a double happiness today. He was so happy that he asked the kitchen to cook a few more dishes, saying that he wanted to celebrate well.

As you know, our master is not at home these days, and there are not many ingredients in the kitchen, so I went to buy some food. "

The guard leaned forward and said, "Sorry, I can't let the steward leave without the Duke's order."

Ruxuan said in embarrassment: "What should I do? It's rare for our master to be so happy, so we can't make him happy, right? Otherwise, you can ask someone to ask Manager Du if I can go out and buy some food?"

The guard thought for a while, nodded in agreement, turned around and ordered: "Go and ask Manager Du if you can let Manager Xuan go out?"

 The other guard nodded and turned around to go to Wenyuan Pavilion.

After a while, the guard came back and said, "Steward Du has gone out with the Duke."

The guard spread his hands and said, "Boss Xuan, Steward Du and Duke Guo are not here. I can't let you out."

Ruxuan scratched his head in worry and walked around in circles: "What can we do?"

 After a while, Ruxuan said: "How about I don't leave the house and go to the big kitchen to get some ingredients? How about that?"

The guard shook his head, "No, I can't let Steward Xuan leave Shuyingyuan."

Ruxuan suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said, "How about you help me go to the big kitchen to get some ingredients? You have done your job, and Mr. Liu is happy."

The two guards looked at each other, nodded and said, "Okay, what does Manager Xuan need? I'll go down to the kitchen to get it."

Ruxuan took out a list from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the guard, "It's time to work. I made a list. Just take what's on the list."

The guard took the list and left. Ruxuan stood at the door chatting with another guard.

 Until the guard comes with something.

Ruxuan took the ingredients from the guard's hand and thanked him profusely, "Brother, come over and have two bowls later."

The guard smiled and said, "Thank you, no need."

Ruxuan entered the courtyard and came out again after a quarter of an hour. He bowed to the guard sheepishly and said, "Sorry, the cooking oil is gone. I have to trouble my brother to go out again."

The guard smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just go get some."

The guard took the oil back, and soon after, Ruxuan came out again and said apologetically: "I have to trouble my brother to go back again and get some more salt, pickles, and bean curd. The cook said I want these side dishes." ,this…"

Seeing Ruxuan, the guard scratched his head in embarrassment and said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, I'll just take another trip. I have nothing to do here. It's good to take a walk."

 Ruxuan bowed and thanked, "Thank you, brother."

In Yujing Garden, Mrs. Li received letters one after another, "Second Madam, Shuyingyuan has come to get oil again."

Ms. Li turned around and walked out of the house, heading straight to Rong'an Hall.

Before the person entered the house, he called out: "Mother, the sixth child has set up a banquet in the yard."

Mrs. Yang was peeling the peanuts and watching the Li family enter the door. She frowned and asked, "Setting up a banquet? To celebrate the emperor's crowning of him? The villain is successful!"

 Mrs. Li sat down under Mrs. Yang and said nervously: "It's a double happiness in Shuyingyuan, so we should celebrate it well."

 “Which pair is happy? Which pair is happy?” Mrs. Yang asked.

Li replied: "First, the emperor crowned Lao Liu. Second, the Duke discussed the marriage for Lao Liu."

Mrs. Yang dropped the peanuts in her hand and asked solemnly: "Discussing marriage? With whom?"

Ms. Li shook her head and said, "I don't know. The report from the kitchen didn't go into details."

Old Madam Yang looked at Grandma Wang.

Grandma Wang understood, turned around and went out to order people to investigate.

After a while, the inquirer came back and reported: "Go back to the old lady and say that the Duke of the country has made an appointment with the Sixth Master about the third wife of the Prime Minister's Palace."

Mrs. Yang raised her hand and knocked over the fruit box on the table. He scolded: "You Lu Chao, you are playing tricks on me."

 Li looked at Mrs. Yang nervously, "Mother, what does the Duke mean?"

Mrs. Yang stood up angrily and said, "You go back first, and I'll go to Wenyuan Pavilion."

Mrs. Yang rushed to Wenyuan Pavilion in a hurry. When she learned that the British Duke was not in the mansion, she was so angry that she smashed Wenyuan Pavilion to pieces.

On this day, the British government was extremely busy.

 At midnight on the second day, Shi Yamei took Mingxin to Wutong Lane to look for Gu Huayu, and met Li Tao at the gate of Gu's house.

Shi Yamei asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Mingxin looked at his young lady, then at Mr. Li, and frowned because of a headache. The two enemies bumped into each other today and had another quarrel.

Li Tao shook his folding fan and said, "Why can't I be here? Do you know Gu Xiaoyu?"

"Li Tao, let me tell you, I can't accompany you today..." Gu Huayu said as she walked out. When she saw the two people at the door of the courtyard, she stopped what she was saying and changed her words: "Yamei, you are here."

Li Tao pointed at Shi Yamei and asked Gu Huayu, "You can't accompany me today, but do you want to accompany her?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Yes, we made an appointment yesterday."

Li Tao said: "In that case, I will go with you."

"Hey, why are you like this? What do you mean by following the girl when she goes shopping?" Shi Yamei said unhappily.

Li Tao said: "Why can't I follow you when you go shopping? Are you not familiar with me? I'm not familiar with Gu Xiaoyu?"

Shi Yamei replied: "You and I are not familiar with each other, so stay away from me!"

Li Tao raised his folding fan, pretending to hit Shi Yamei, "Shi San, you deserve a beating!"

Shi Yamei raised his head, looked at Li Tao and said, "Who do you think deserves a beating? Why don't you give it a try?"

Gu Huayu looked at Li Tao funny to see how he would end up.

Li Tao smiled and put away the folding fan, and said timidly: "I deserve a beating, I deserve a beating, how about that? Miss Shi San is not familiar with me, but I am familiar with Miss Shi San, OK?"

Gu Huayu did not expect that Li Tao would give in immediately. It seemed that the two had a close relationship.

Shi Yamei ignored Li Tao and turned to ask Gu Huayu, "Xiaoyu, can you leave?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Okay, let's go."

Shi Yamei said: "How to get there? You and I are in the same car?"

Li Tao took over the conversation, "Gu Xiaoyu likes to walk when shopping, but doesn't like riding in cars. Didn't you know?"

Shi Yamei looked at Gu Huayu, "Is that so? Then I'll park the carriage here and come back here to pick it up. Okay?"

Gu Huayu said with a smile: "Let's take a car, Mingxin and Lonicera take a car."

 Shi Yamei looked at Li Tao and said, "It seems that you are not familiar with Xiaoyu either."

Li Tao tapped his palms with a folding fan and said, "I know, you two are entertaining me. Well, as long as you two are happy, I am not familiar with you two. Tell me, where do you want to go? I'll be at your beck and call. How's that?"

Shi Yamei smiled and said, "Well, that's a good idea, Xiaoyu, what do you think?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "I think it's okay. I'll help you, Mr. Li."

Li Tao jumped on the carriage and sat in front, "Thank you two girls for giving me the opportunity. Today I will be the coachman and serve the two girls."

Qingyu saw Li Tao sitting in the driving position and turned to look at Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu said to Qing Yu: "Second Young Master Li is driving. You sit next to Second Young Master Li and be his deputy."

Qingyu bowed and responded, "Yes!"

Qing Yu put the footrest away and put it away after Gu Huayu and Shi Yamei got in the car.

Shi Yamei said to Li Tao: "Did you see it? Learn how to do it. You don't sit in front like an uncle."

Li Tao raised his hand and scratched his head, and said with a smile: "For the first time in my life, I didn't take good care of him, so I asked the girl to be more considerate. Girl, please sit down, let's set off."

Gu Huayu looked at Shi Yamei and Li Tao who were laughing and joking. These two people were considered strange people in the capital. It was not surprising that they could make friends with her.

Li Tao asked: "You two young ladies, have you decided where to go?"

Gu Huayu looked at Shi Yamei and said, "You decide, I'm not familiar with the capital."

Shi Yamei thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Maxing Street. Let's go shopping there and eat biscuits and enema at noon. How about that?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Okay, let's go to Maxing Street."

Li Tao received the order, "Sit down and let's go!"

 As Li Tao spoke, he raised his hand and gave the horse a whip, which caused the horse to run forward in pain.

Qingyu hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull the reins and slow down the horse.

The car suddenly moved forward, hitting Shi Yamei's head against the car, holding his head and shouting: "Li Er, can you drive?"

"Nonsense, what are the six arts of a gentleman? How can I not do this? If you don't sit properly, you ask me if I know how to drive. Really, why didn't Xiaoyu hit her head?" Li Tao replied plausibly.

Gu Huayu smiled and said: "Drive well and don't rush so fast. We are going shopping, not to rush for the exam."

Li Tao smiled and responded: "Okay, just listen to the whispers."

Shi Yamei looked at Gu Huayu and asked, "The Demon King of Hunshi is very obedient to you. How did you conquer him? When did you two meet?"

Li Tao was afraid that Gu Huayu would talk about his dark history, so he said first, "Xiaoyu and I have known each other for many years. Shi San, does your family have a boat for the dragon boat race tomorrow?"

Shi Yamei shook his head and replied: "Several princes will end up in trouble this year, so we won't join in the fun."

Gu Huayu asked: "Does the capital hold a dragon boat race every year?"

Shi Yamei nodded, "Yes, the dragon boat race is a great event that everyone enjoys. Sometimes, the emperor will come to watch the race."

Shi Yamei and Li Tao introduced the dragon boat race in the capital to Gu Huayu.

The car arrived at the intersection of Zhuquemen Street and was blocked on the road.

Seeing the car stop, Shi Yamei stuck his head out of the car window and looked forward, and asked, "Why is it blocked?"

 Li Tao stood up, tiptoed and looked forward, and saw pairs of people walking forward on Zhuquemen Street carrying heavy loads. He replied: "It seems that I have caught up with someone's gift-giving team."

Shi Yamei stood up and moved forward, lifted the curtain, stood behind Li Tao and looked forward, and asked curiously: "Who is so arrayed? The road is blocked."

Li Tao asked passers-by on the roadside, "Old man, which house is this gift from?"

 A strong man in front turned back and said, "It's the British Duke delivering gifts to the Prime Minister's residence."

Li Tao asked in confusion: "The British Duke's mansion sends gifts to the Prime Minister's Palace?"

The strong man replied: "Yes, the gift-giving team has been walking for a quarter of an hour. The team behind is still very long, and it seems that it will take a while. If you are in a hurry, you'd better change the route."

Li Tao turned around and asked, "Shi San, are the British Duke's Palace and the Prime Minister's Palace related?"

Shi Yamei shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

The woman next to the strong man replied: "Which relative sent so many gifts? This is the sixth master of the British Duke's palace who wants to marry the third lady of the Prime Minister's palace. Today he comes to give gifts."

“Who?” Li Tao and Shi Yamei asked in unison.

The woman smiled and said: "You didn't expect it, did you? I just heard about it. The sixth master of the British Duke's Palace, a man who was like an immortal, had never discussed the matter of marriage before, and suddenly he decided to settle on the third lady of the Wang Xiang's Palace. , make a decision today.”

Li Tao looked at Shi Yamei and gloated: "The person in your dream is going to be someone else's!"
