Chapter six hundred and eighty fifth hearts separated belly
Liu Mingzhi looked at the three princesses with some confusion. He asked a princess to go out to see if the prince was in good health. What kind of medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd?
The third princess's face had an unnatural blush as Liu Mingzhi stared at her, and the hand holding the chopsticks forgot to pick up the food.
"Third Miss, apart from looking at Ming Gong's body, is there anything else Mr. Huang wants you to do?"
Liu Mingzhi never believed that the emperor would let a princess go to the south of the Yangtze River just because he was worried about the health of King Huainan. Let’s not talk about whether it meets the customs or not. Whether the princess can leave the palace privately, from an ancient perspective, women belong to one person.
The body should send a prince here.
Ordinary wealthy families avoid this, but Liu Mingzhi doesn't think the royal family doesn't care. It should be said that the royal family is more taboo than anyone else.
"By the way, my father asked me to supervise my uncle Jiangnan's tax money. The tax money from Jiangnan has been overdue for half a year and has not been delivered to the treasury. My father is worried that something has gone wrong!"
"Tax money?"
"Exactly!"
"What did the King of Huainan say? As far as I know, Jiangnan's taxes have always been the first to be paid to the national treasury and have never been overdue. Although there are rebels in the White Lotus Sect, it will not affect the tax collection!"
As an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Liu Mingzhi knew no one better than him about the tax and bank situation of various states. There must be something wrong with a state that had never slacked off and suddenly overdue its tax bank.
The third princess looked at Liu Mingzhi in embarrassment: "I haven't seen the emperor's uncle yet!"
"You haven't seen me yet? Has the third princess just arrived in Jiangnan?"
"I just arrived the day before yesterday, and I was looking for Sister Ya to catch up on old times. I met you right after I came out!"
"Why did the third princess just arrive the day before yesterday and say that I don't know what happened in Jinling in the past two months? I thought the third princess had already arrived two months ago!"
The third princess looked at Qi Ya with a faint smile: "Of course it was Sister Ya who told me. The emperor said that it was the main thing for me to come to Jiangnan to relax, and the rest were secondary, so I didn't rush to see the emperor.
Uncle, I plan to go to the imperial uncle’s palace to pay him a visit after having a good meal at Yuyanzhai!”
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Ya in surprise, and Qi Ya nodded gently to prove it for the third princess.
Liu Mingzhi did not doubt the third princess's words. He doubted the emperor's intentions, but it was not easy for Liu Mingzhi to ask questions about matters related to the royal family.
The room suddenly fell silent, with only the slight sound of chewing coming.
He looked at Qi Ya and Qi Ya from time to time, hoping that they would have enough food and wine to leave him quickly so that he could check some unknown places in Jiang's mother's room.
Since no one was talking and concentrating on the meal, the three of them filled their stomachs early and looked at each other.
Liu Mingzhi had to break the awkward atmosphere: "Miss Third, Sister Ya, since we have had enough wine and dinner, let's leave. I still have some things to deal with and I can't accompany you two to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Qinhuai River!"
"It's already dark. Are our sisters following the servants? You can't let us two little girls go back in the dark, can you? Don't worry about our safety? You must know that Jiangnan is not peaceful during this time!"
Qi Ya couldn't help but feel a little angry when she saw that Mr. Liu, who was usually quite intelligent, was so blind.
He is really not smart when he should be smart, and he is blindly smart when he shouldn't be smart.
Young Master Liu looked back at Mother Jiang's bed and nodded hesitantly: "Sister Ya was joking, so I will escort you two back home. What I mean is that I don't have extra time to accompany you to visit the beautiful scenery of the Qinhuai River.
It’s not that I want to abandon the two of them and ignore them. The third lady has a noble status, how dare I take her with me!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If you are really busy because of your royal duties, forget it. You can't delay important things because of me and Sister Ya. You still have to rely on merit. It doesn't matter. Let's go back!"
"please!"
"Miss Xue!"
"Master Liu, you've finished eating!"
"It tastes good. No wonder there are so many guests. How much money?"
Xue Bizhu smiled slightly and shook his head: "Master Liu is joking, it is my honor for you to eat in my little girl's restaurant. How dare you ask for money? I treat this meal like a little girl's treat!"
Xue Bizhu is an exquisite person. He knows that a relationship with Young Master Liu is far more important than a meal, so he generously sells his favors to express his goodwill to Young Master Liu.
Without further ado, Liu Mingzhi took out a certain amount of money and put it in Xue Bizhu's hand: "I just praised you for doing a good job in business. You are like this. You and I are free, and the others are also free. Why else do you open a restaurant? One code will return
One yard, just keep it!"
Xue Bizhu looked at the silver in his hand in embarrassment: "Master Liu"
Liu Mingzhi waved his hands hurriedly: "Okay, okay, that's it, I'll leave first." Liu Mingzhi suddenly remembered what happened in Jiang's mother's room and waved to Xue Bizhu.
"Master Liu"
Liu Mingzhi leaned half a foot away from Xue Bizhu and murmured in a low voice: "Clean up Mother Jiang's room. I may come back later. When you are done, you can wait for me there! It's agreed!"
"ah?"
Looking at the backs of Young Master Liu and the others, Xue Bizhu's face was a little hot, and her snow-white cheeks could not help but be stained with a hint of blush.
"Sister Bizhu is still looking at you, but you are already far away. If I look at you again, I will almost go blind!"
"Sister Lingyi, when did you come?"
Huang Lingyi said, wearing a coarse linen cloth and an apron covering his chest, waving a spoon in his hand, probably because he had just finished his work with a trace of sweat on his forehead: "I came here when you were staring at Mr. Liu infatuatedly, and called you a few times.
You didn’t agree to me, so I said you fell in love with Master Liu, right?"
Xue Bizhu shook his head in panic: "No, don't talk nonsense!"
"Why are you not panicking? Your eyes are wandering, your face is red, and your fingers can't help but tangle together. You must be lying!"
"Nothing. What do you know, little girl? Let's see how I deal with you!"
The two were having fun in the lobby, and a group of guests were laughing.
The two of them chased each other for a while and then realized that the situation was not right and hurriedly stopped.
“Guests, I’m really sorry.”
Everyone laughed, shook their heads and joked casually to end the farce.
"Hey sister, please listen to my sister's advice. Today is different from the past. Mr. Liu has become Mr. Liu. Our background is not worthy of him. If there is no affection, it is best. If there is affection, it must be suppressed in the bottom of your heart. Otherwise,
Your affection may bring trouble to Mr. Liu!"
Xue Bizhu was startled and smiled gloomily: "Sister, I understand. The most important thing in being a human being is your reputation. You are destined to be someone who is not on the same path. Tell me, God's will is really unpredictable. Mr. Liu, who was once notorious in Jiangnan, became a great person.
Man, a famous scholar who is famous all over the world is a ruthless thing!"
Huang Lingyi's pretty face sank: "Sister, don't mention those two guys who are worse than beasts. Just think that we sisters were blind before. Now that we are prosperous, we will look down on our sisters' origins. What a pair of jade arms.
A person's pillow, a little bit of red lips, a thousand people taste it. Isn't it disgusting, are we servants so miserable in their eyes? I don't want to think about how they would have achieved today's glory if we hadn't helped them go to Beijing to take the exam with a smile!"
"Okay, stop complaining. People's hearts are separated from each other. Who knows whether it's red or black unless you see it with your own eyes!"
"It's good if you understand."
"Lingyi will close early today and prepare a lot of hot water. I want to take a bath."
"Third Princess, it's already dark at night, so I won't stay any longer. You should go to bed early, and I'll leave!"
"Okay, be careful on the road!"
"Thank you very much, I will take my leave!"
Liu Mingzhi closed the door and exited the inner courtyard of Qi Mansion and walked to the front hall. He had to rush back to Yuyanzhai to investigate.
"Liu Mingzhi!"
Liu Mingzhi saw Qi Ya holding a lantern and standing in a pavilion not far from the peach blossom forest with a smile and punched her: "Sister Ya, haven't you rested yet?"
"Where should I get ready to take a bath?"
"In this case, I will resign!"
Qi Ya held up a lantern and stopped in front of Young Master Liu.
Fortunately, Young Master Liu didn't hit Qi Ya when he was close. If it had been before, Young Master Liu would have had to hold Qi Ya and throw himself on the stone slab outside.
