Chapter 804 Taoyuan (second update)
Zhang Lixin, the old minister of the Ministry of Rites, finally took advantage of the concubine's birthday to rest for three days, so he planned to rest at home for three days without doing anything. After all, he has been busy for so long, but his old bones are exhausted.
Unexpectedly, his granddaughter came back crying and told him that she had hit the concubine. He was so frightened that he suddenly asked what happened.
Zhang Xiyun finished telling the story with a tearful voice, and Zhang Lixin breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's how it is."
He grimaced, "How can a girl be so unruly? Stopping people in the street and yelling, what do you mean?"
“Grandpa.” Zhang Xiyun knew he was wrong.
Zhang Lixin was angry, "Since Mr. Feng avoids you like the plague, you should stop pestering me."
"I didn't bother, I was just happy to see him and wanted to say a few words to him. Who knew that he ran away as soon as I opened my mouth." Zhang Xiyun felt very aggrieved. She felt that she was not a domineering girl. Although she was a little arrogant, But it's not to the point where people will be scared and hide when they see it.
Zhang Lixin sighed and looked at his granddaughter, unable to bear the harsh criticism, "Don't worry! The concubine will not blame you for such a trivial matter, but Mr. Feng is a special person. He was originally the concubine of the concubine, and he always called her the concubine. The female elder sister is regarded as a biological brother by the queen. When he enters the court, his talent and ability as an official are no less than those of the queen's husband. This is a very powerful sword in the hands of the queen. The queen's trust in him is no different from that of the queen. Husband. Think about it, how many people want to marry such a person? And how cautious will the concubine be about his marriage? You have a good eye. After meeting the person, you have already set your sights on him. My grandfather doesn’t object either. It’s true that young people admire young people, but you shouldn’t be reckless and pay attention to methods. You’re using the wrong method by shouting on the street like this, but won’t you scare people away?”
Zhang Xiyun regretted it extremely, "I only saw him at that time and didn't pay attention to others."
Who would have known that the person walking in front was actually the king, the queen, or the queen's husband, otherwise she wouldn't have called anyone even if she was beaten to death.
"Okay, I have asked the concubine to ask you, but you have recklessly made a scene in front of people today. Go back and copy a book of scriptures to calm your heart. Also, don't go out this month." Zhang Lixin waved his hand.
Zhang Xiyun obediently accepted the punishment, nodded, and went back to think about it.
After she left, Zhang Lixin sighed, thinking that it would be a good idea. He took advantage of the opportunity to plead guilty to his granddaughter and went to the princess in person to find out whether she was the granddaughter she had loved since childhood. This child fell in love with Feng. Ling, as his grandfather, was really optimistic about Fengling.
Fengling hid from Zhang Xiyun and waited for them to leave before appearing next to Su Rong and others.
Su Rong gave him a funny look, "As for that?"
Feng Ling scratched her head, "Sister, I don't want to start a family, so I can't give people hope, right?"
"You are a pretty little girl. From now on, you are starting to think about starting a family." Su Rong looked at him and said, "Don't hide when you meet someone in the future. It won't be a shame."
Fengling touched her nose and said, "It's not shameful, right?"
Su Rong was not polite, "Don't follow Yue Wan's example. Her dream in this life is to eat, drink, live and spend my money. I don't want more of them."
Feng Ling's mouth twitched. He thought it would be good to learn from Yue Wan.
The four of them walked around for most of the day and ate the most famous Furong Roast Chicken in the capital at noon. In the evening, the group went to Xie's Mansion for a meal.
When Cui Yanjin saw Zhou Gu, he bared his teeth immediately, like a little lion with its fur blown up. However, he did not dare to blow up his fur in a showy manner. Instead, he hid behind Cui Gong and bared his teeth at him.
It made Cui Gong want to laugh, and said to Zhou Gu: "How old are you, why are you bullying Yan Jin?"
Zhou Gu was dissatisfied and said, "Grandpa, it was he who bullied me."
Zhou Gu snorted coldly, "It makes sense for you to give away your mother's things."
Cui Yanjin said confidently, "My mother was happy to give it to my cousin." Zhou Gu was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Cui Gong smiled and said to Zhou Gu: "Your temper is indeed a bit unstable, and I don't blame Yan Jin for talking about you."
Zhou Gu turned to complain to Su Rong, "Look, they are all facing this brat."
He rubbed his wrist deliberately, "My hands are still sore and painful. How can I calculate it?"
Su Rong immediately realized her conscience and said quickly: "Grandpa, I think Zhou Gu has a good temper. Please stop talking about him. What do I want from such a stable concubine?" Then, she quickly poured out a bowl of water and poured it out. "My little cousin is also very nice. I like the gift very much."
Mr. Cui shook his head helplessly and amusedly, "Okay!"
Cui Yanjin muttered in a low voice, "My cousin is like this. My cousin is used to it."
Cui Xingzhi grabbed him and whispered: "Shut up, please? Don't you think you've offended your cousin enough? Be careful, my cousin won't protect you either."
Cui Yanjin sighed, "Hey, my cousin doesn't listen to my advice, and my cousin-in-law spoils my cousin. It's so difficult for me."
Cui Xingzhi: “…”
How old are you to worry so much? But be careful, little cousin, you grow old quickly.
On the third day, Su Rong and Zhou Gu rode out of the city. Fengling Ziye and the secret guards stayed behind. On this day, King Nanchu did not follow and waved his hand for the two of them to play by themselves.
The two of them rode horses to a hillside and saw peach trees all over the mountains and plains. They had just picked up small peaches, and the fruits had not yet grown up, but they were full, which looked really gratifying.
Zhou Gu suddenly said quietly: "I heard that Ye Guixue planted a ten-mile peach orchard for you, so that you can enjoy the peach blossoms in the spring and eat the peaches in the autumn."
Su Rong coughed lightly, "How did you know?"
"I heard what my father-in-law said in his spare time when he and his father-in-law were being chased by the Nangong family's secret guards and escaped." Zhou Gudao.
Su Rong thought to herself that her father really told Zhou Gu everything. She smiled and coaxed him, "When autumn comes, ask Gui Xue. With so many peaches, please send more to the palace and I will eat them with you." .”
Three days passed by in a flash, and the courtiers became busy again.
Good news came from the border. Zhang Yun wrote that all peace negotiations with the Wei Dynasty had been completed. He asked the concubine to give instructions on who should be left to garrison at the border and who should return to the capital.
After the Zhezi was in the hands of Su Rong, she immediately wrote back and appointed Cheng Yun as the general of Zhenbei. She left 100,000 troops to guard the border with the Wei Dynasty, and the rest returned to the court.
Cheng Yun was a little surprised when Su Rong's approval arrived at the border. He didn't expect such an important grant to be given to him. He was a little excited. He boasted that he didn't have much dealings with the concubine, but he didn't expect the concubine to trust him so much.
Zhang Yun patted Cheng Yun on the shoulder, "You are a person trusted by the king, and you are also a person trusted by the queen. You can hide the original fifty thousand troops from the Nangong family from the king. Such an important task is entrusted to you. Don’t worry, Your Majesty, Brother Cheng must not betray Your Majesty’s trust.”
Cheng Yun nodded heavily, "Brother Zhang Yun, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust."
