The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 347 Moving to a new house

Li Tao turned to Kuanzi and said, "Go and have a look in front."

Hunti Kuanzi leaned down and rode forward.

Soon, Kuanzi came back on horseback and reported to Li Tao: "Sir, we have already arrived at the princess's mansion. The master is reciting sutras at this time. We have to wait until the master finishes reciting sutras before entering the house."

Li Tao turned his head and said to King Qin in the carriage: "It takes a long time for the master to recite the sutra. Your lord, we may have to wait for a while."

King Qin leaned against the carriage and replied lazily: "I have nothing to do anyway, just wait."

Having said this, King Qin sat up straight, lifted the curtains and looked outside, saying, "It's snowing heavily now. Are you feeling cold on horseback? Do you want to come in the car?"

Li Tao dismounted with a smile and threw the reins to Kuan Zi, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hospitality. You're welcome."

There was a charcoal stove burning in King Qin's carriage. When he opened the curtain, a stream of warm air came to his face.

Li Tao got into the carriage, sat down on the low couch, looked around, patted the carriage with his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this car is well made. It looks very ordinary from the outside, but from the inside, it turns out to be made of ebony." ”

 The King of Qin took out the cup from the secret room and poured tea for Li Tao. He corrected: "It's not ebony, it's rosewood."

"Red sandalwood? One inch of red sandalwood and one inch of gold?" Li Tao asked in surprise. He lowered his head and took a closer look under the light on the table.

King Qin poured the tea, pushed the tea cup towards Li Tao, and said, "Yes!"

Li Tao looked at it carefully for a while, then sat up straight, picked up the tea cup, and clicked his tongue three times, "It's an eye-opener, it's amazing!"

 The King of Qin did not answer his words and allowed him to click his tongue.

Li Tao lowered his head and took a sip of tea, as if he was remembering something. He looked up at King Qin and asked, "Your Majesty, this car was used when he was in the British government?"

King Qin nodded and said, "Yes, it has taken more than six years."

Li Tao was no longer calm, "It's been more than six years? My lord, what kind of business are you doing in private? I'll teach you."

King Qin glanced at Li Tao and said, "This car was a birthday gift from my grandfather. I didn't build it myself. Besides, are you short of money? Your gang earns a lot every year!"

Li Tao was stunned for a moment, looked at King Qin and asked, "Does the prince know about the Xingfei Gang? Also, in this world, what can be hidden from the prince? As long as the prince wants to know, he will definitely know it!"

Li Tao said this, but he was shocked in his heart. Even King Qi didn't know about the Xingjiao Gang. Could it be that Gu Xiaoyu told him.

As if he had read Li Tao's thoughts, King Qin refilled Li Tao's tea cup and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Yu. I found out about it myself."

 Li Tao leaned forward and said, "I understand! How much money do I earn from my footwork job in a year? I'm embarrassed to mention it in front of the prince."

 The King of Qin asked: "Has there been any progress in the Su family's affairs?"

Li Tao sighed and said: "There is not much progress. This matter has been happening for too long. The then governor Lu Ruiyi and the Lu family have long been executed, and all clues related to it have been cut off.

 Furthermore, this matter involves...whose family? He is a high-ranking prime minister. Without ironclad evidence, we cannot easily touch him. "

King Qin looked at Li Tao and sighed, and asked, "Does Su Jinze know that the maid next to his daughter is from the Shangguan Palace?"

Li Tao was drinking tea from a cup. After hearing what King Qin said, his hands froze in mid-air and he looked at King Qin in astonishment.

After a long while, Li Tao put down the cup in his hand, moved his body towards King Qin, and asked in disbelief: "My lord, you said that the maid next to Su Xin back then was from the Shangguan Mansion? The one from the Prime Minister Wang's Mansion? A Shangguan from Mrs. Shangguan’s family?”

 King Qin nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the maid named Manqing beside Su Xin followed the arrangement of Mrs. Shangguan and went to Yangzhou with Wang Houzhe, and later went to the Su family and followed Su Xin.

After Su Xin's death, Man Qing came out of the Su family and married Feng Guangsheng, a son of Shangguan family, and gave birth to two sons and one daughter to Feng Guangsheng.

The two sons are working under Hua Ruijun in Huafu, and the daughter is currently serving Hua Ruijun's biological mother Yue Niang. "

Li Tao was a little confused when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, why are the people from the Shangguan family working under Hua Ruijun again?"

Li Tao looked at King Qin. King Qin did not reply to his words, but looked at him meaningfully.

Li Tao said belatedly: "Is there any connection between the Shangguan family and the Hua family?

 No, we haven’t heard that the Shangguan family has good relations with the Hua family for so many years?

 The only people who are close to Huafu are the British public relations? Even Mrs. Liu's natal family was rarely visited.

 What kind of relationship? Can the two houses, which rarely interact with each other, share servants? "

Li Tao became more and more puzzled as he spoke, and his brows furrowed into a straight line.

But I had a bold idea in my mind... This is so unusual.

 King Qin looked away, reached out to pick up the tea cup, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said, "I don't know yet."

 In a moment, Li Tao had calmed himself down.

Li Tao picked up the teapot and added tea to King Qin, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, is this matter related to the tragedy of the Xiaoyu family?"

Li Tao's words were full of care and concern.

King Qin leaned back, leaning against the carriage, and said quietly: "I don't know yet. I will investigate slowly, and one day the truth will be revealed."

Li Tao nodded, "Your Majesty is right, this matter cannot be rushed, and it cannot be rushed."

 “Your Majesty, it’s started.” Ru’an said.

 “I understand!” King Qin responded.

Li Tao said: "Go down and ride a horse!"

 “You just sit here!”

Li Tao scratched his head and said, "Then you're welcome!"

King Qin glanced at him and casually asked him about his homework. Li Tao immediately sat upright and told him the books he was reading.

 After the car reached Yongchun Street, Ru'an stopped the car and said, "Your Majesty, we're here!"

Li Tao lifted the curtain and looked up at the sky. The bright sky turned blue-grey under the reflection of the white snow.

Li Tao put down the curtain, turned back and said, "It's daybreak! The snow is still heavy."

 King Qin had already picked up the cloak beside him and put it on, and was currently tying the belt. "The joy of moving to a new house is getting brighter and brighter as we go, which indicates that the days to come will be better and better."

Li Tao nodded and followed the flattery, "Yes, today is the first snow of this year. The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. Xiaoyu is destined to be rich and noble. No matter what he does, God must follow people's wishes and everything goes smoothly."

With that said, Li Tao jumped out of the car first, turned around and raised his hand to help King Qin.

King Qin avoided his hand and said, "Okay, I will do it myself."

 Ru'an came over with a gold basin and handed it to King Qin. "Master, you have to carry this."

 “Okay!” King Qin reached out and took it.

Li Tao came over to take a look and saw that the basin contained gold, silver and jade. He asked: "Your Majesty, are you following the courtesy?"

King Qin glanced sideways at Li Tao and asked, "You came to Xiaoyu's housewarming empty-handed?"

When Li Tao saw Ru'an handing something to King Qin, he already knew that he had been negligent, and said angrily: "I just wanted to join in the fun and forgot about the gift."

King Qin turned to Ru'an and asked, "How much preparation do we have?"

Ru'an leaned forward and said, "Go back to the king, I only have one gold basin prepared, and there is also a jade plate with blooming flowers and some gold and silver ingots."

The King of Qin casually handed the gold basin to Li Tao, "Take this, and bring me the jade plate."

Li Tao was so grateful that he leaned over and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Master! I'll go back and have someone deliver the gift to my house."

King Qin said calmly: "Forget it, these are not worth a lot of money, they are just for good luck."

Ru'an came over with a jade plate piled with gold and silver coins. King Qin took it and said to Li Tao: "Let's go in."

  King Qin and Li Tao entered the mansion one after another, and Gu Chengliang just welcomed them to the living room in the outer courtyard.

Li Tao didn't see Hua Yanran and asked, "Where is Gu Xiaoyu? Why didn't I see her?"

Gu Chengliang replied: "Xiaoyu will be offering sacrifices in the main hall. Fifteen years ago, on the tenth day of the winter lunar month, the Hua Mansion suffered a tragedy. The reason why we chose to move today is to comfort the souls of the deceased."

"That's it! The prince and I are chatting here. You can go and do your work. There is no need to greet us."

Gu Chengliang leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Second Master. My lord, please sit down and have a rest first. The kitchen is already making breakfast and it will be delivered shortly."

When King Qin saw Wan Changrui leading the Shi brothers in, he asked, "We are moving in today. Are there many people invited?"

Gu Chengliang shook his head and said, "My lord, not many! Xiaoyu said that we only invited a few people we are familiar with."

The King of Qin knew that the houses that Gu Chengliang was familiar with were Shi's Mansion, Chengguo's Mansion and Wang Shilang's Mansion. Of course, there is also his Prince Qin's Mansion plus Li Tao.

There were fewer people, so there were less things to do to receive him, so he said, "Then you should sit down and have a rest."

Gu Chengliang smiled honestly, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Xiaoyu has arranged for me to receive the male guests. I have to wait at the door to avoid neglecting the guests."

King Qin nodded, "That's fine, then go and do your work."

Gu Chengliang bowed and stepped back.

 In the main hall, Master Wu Zhi, invited from Daxiangguo Temple, sat on a futon with several masters and chanted sutras.

Hua Yanran led Hua Da and others to kneel behind Master Wuzhi, and followed Master Wuzhi in bowing down.

 The sacrifice did not end until the second quarter of the lunar month.

Hua Yanran saluted and thanked the masters and sent them to the car. She ordered Qingzhu and Qingyu to drive the masters back to the temple.

 After everything was settled, Hua Yanran returned to the dining room to have breakfast.

Having just eaten two glutinous rice balls, Su Er excitedly opened the curtain and came in, looking at Hua Yanran with a pair of bright eyes.

Su Er's face glowed red with excitement, "Princess Princess, get ready to pick up the emperor!" His voice changed slightly with excitement.

Hua Yanran had a glutinous rice ball in her mouth. She was so frightened by Su Er's words that she swallowed it down her throat, but it didn't go down completely. She suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

Hua Yanran hurriedly raised her hands to pat her chest, pinched her neck, and held it in until her face turned red. Finally, she picked up the teacup on the table and drank a few sips of water before washing down the glutinous rice balls.

Su Er's expression changed from excitement to fear, to helplessness, then to worry. Finally, seeing Hua Yanran regain her breath, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously: "Princess, have you recovered? It's all my fault. of…"

Hua Yanran waved her hand and said, "No problem! What did you just say? To receive the Holy Emperor? The Emperor is coming over?"

Su Er came to his senses and said, "Yes, I just received a letter saying that the emperor is coming over to celebrate the princess's move."

Hua Yanran's mind was at a loss. She had never received a holy chariot in her past life. How should she receive this holy chariot?

The emperor's visit to the palace is a grace and grace, and there can be no mistakes in it.

Hua Yanran stood up hurriedly, held up her skirt and walked out. As she walked, she asked, "Where is the Holy Master? What etiquette is required to pick up the Holy Master?"

 Where is Uncle Hua? Where is Uncle Hua? Does he know how to pick up the Holy Driver?

By the way, where is the prince? Where is the prince? He should know how to pick up the Holy Driver. "

Su Er followed Hua Yanran out and replied as he walked: "The guards in the palace said that the emperor has just left Xuandemen. Uncle Hua will be greeting you now. The prince is in the living room."

Hua Yanran came out of the dining room and went straight to the front yard. On the corridor, she was stopped by Aunt Wang, who was rushing towards her. "Princess, please go down quickly and change into court clothes, and prepare to pick up the emperor."

Hua Yanran was confused. She followed Wang Qin to the backyard. After taking two steps, she turned to Su Er and said, "Let Uncle Hua go find the prince and ask how to pick up the emperor."

Wang Qin explained: "Princess Master, don't worry. Hua Da has been with the Master and is someone who often sees the Emperor. He knows how to pick up the Emperor."

 After hearing Wang Qin’s words, Hua Yanran’s anxious heart settled down.

 When Hua Yanran changed her clothes and came out, the outer courtyard, from the entrance of the main hall to the entrance of the mansion, was covered with bright red felt. Everyone in the mansion had already stood on both sides of the felt.

Hua Da stood at the door of the mansion, looking inward. When he saw Hua Yanran, he raised his voice and said, "Princess, you have to come outside the gate to welcome the Holy Master."

Hua Yanran hurried to the gate. Hua Da led her to the front and stood with King Qin.

Hua Yanran looked around and saw that there were many vigilant guards standing at the door of the house and along the street.

When King Qin saw her coming, he gave her a reassuring smile and said softly: "Don't worry, my father is very generous."

Hua Yanran nodded, "Yes, I know."

Not long after Hua Yanran arrived, she heard footsteps in the distance.

Hua Yanran looked into the distance and said to King Qin: "It seems to be coming."

King Qin also heard it and said, "Yes, here we come."

As soon as the King of Qin's voice fell, a group of people came towards this side from far to near. The guards with swords walked in front, followed by the palace maids.

 The King of Qin said to Hua Yanran: "Kneel down."

Hua Yanran nodded and knelt down with everyone to greet the emperor.

 After the emperor's dragon arrived at the gate of the mansion, Eunuch Gao helped the emperor down from the dragon.

The emperor stood at the door of the palace, glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and said: "Ping Shen!"

Hua Yanran just stood up with everyone.

King Qin stepped forward and shouted respectfully: "Father!"

The emperor nodded towards him and turned his gaze to Hua Yanran: "Yanran, the house is in order? Are you satisfied?"

Hua Yanran said: "Back to the emperor, everything is going well. Yanran is very satisfied. Thank you for your kindness! Your Majesty, please come to your house!"

The emperor nodded and looked up at the door of the mansion, "I sent a plaque to Yanran! Someone, bring the plaque up!"

Hua Yanran hurriedly knelt down to thank her.

 Four chamberlains carried up the gilded plaque on a red background, with the powerful words "Princess's Mansion" shining brightly.

The King of Qin repeatedly praised: "My father's calligraphy is so penetrating and majestic!"

The emperor looked at the plaque and nodded with satisfaction. The emperor's calligraphy was praised by several bachelors when he was still a prince!
