Liu Ruhai stepped on the broken snow and heard the wind: "Su Jintian moved into the house?"
Others knew about this while they were still outside the Hou Mansion. Not to mention, he received another big red greeting card at his home in the back alley. There was a distinguished guest who was going to visit Liu Ruhai's home.
As soon as he entered his home, he saw the greeting card sent by Cao Xiwan on the table in the main room. After thinking about it, he also called his servant Songbi: "Go and say hello to Manager Lian Er and tell me
I'm staying at home these days. You and Suwen, pack up a few things that are commonly used in my room and come over. Just go back. You don't have to come over to wait on me. Go home and rest for a few days."
"Yes, young master." Songbi and Suwen were delighted and hurried to Luoyuan.
As soon as Father Cao heard the sound of the door opening, he quickly hid behind the kitchen door. He squinted and saw the two boys coming back.
The dead branches in the small courtyard were piled with snow, and there was water in the green vat.
Liu Ruhai sat in the main room and drank a cup of hot water. Because the neighbor Cao's family gave the key to Sister Hong who was hired by the neighbor, he also followed the example and asked Aunt Hong to clean it every day and asked that there be hot water in the thermos in the main room.
.
There was a squeaking sound on the shoulder pole, and Aunt Hong was carrying water through the door. When she saw him coming back, she quickly put down her burden. In the main room, Sister Hong talked about the big red greeting card on the table: "It was given to me by Brother Mao in front of Miss Cao, my neighbor.
.Said Miss Cao has something to do and wants to visit her."
This etiquette seems to be a big deal.
Liu Ruhai smiled in surprise. Of course this was strange, but he knew it well.
She finally begged him.
He heard that Mama Zhao in Yanjing City was in trouble. Furthermore, Gray Thorn had been communicating with Aunt Ying in the palace in the past few days.
He thought that she had been busy drinking and having fun these days, and she could handle these things by herself. He looked at the second eldest sister who came in with a pole in the yard, and it was obviously the reappearance of Sister Huo. Sister Hong is an honest neighbor.
Woman, Sister Huo is a scheming figure. He knows it very well.
He wondered whether Cao Xiwan wanted to set up a guard post in Prince Zhao's palace and use him as a cover to serve as a scapegoat, right?
This is non-negotiable.
Cao Xiwan didn't think it was negotiable. Liu Ruhai was in the capital, just in the palm of her hand.
If you don't want to die, you have to do it for her.
But she has been doing errands for a long time, and she knows that asking people to do things willingly, and forcing people to do things with a knife, may lead to different results.
What's more, she had a lot of things to do in Yanjing City, so she asked Mao Ergou to deliver a greeting note to Liu's house.
Anyway, she couldn't find her father these days, and it was inconvenient for her to live in the Marquis' mansion. She had time to carefully prepare the gifts for him.
Her appointment was for four days later.
The Marquis was in a good mood. The red plum blossoms were shining in the window, the winter snow was clearing in the evening, and he got several pots of high-quality purple jade daffodils.
Song Chengming asked Su Jintian to enjoy the flowers in the outer study together. When he remembered it, he sent someone to call Cao Xiwan in the inner house and asked her to come to the outer study to see the flowers.
The boy who came back reported: "Ms. Cao took half a day's leave and went home."
He smiled and waved his hand, turning his head to look at Su Jintian: "I missed it."
Su Jintian lowered his head and cupped his hands.
When Manager Lian Er came in, he saw this scene and knew that it was Su Jintian who came into the house. He had something to do and wanted to see Cao Xiwan. Otherwise, how could he have the patience to stay for a few days?
The Marquis ordered a black wine table with a swastika pattern to be set up, two sets of storage boxes with six kinds of side dishes to accompany the wine. He and Su Jintian were sitting in the study, admiring the flowers and eating wine. The second steward immediately sensed that Su Jintian must have heard the news:
The Marquis brought up the old matter again and wanted Cao Xiwan to get engaged to Qin Meng.
Otherwise, he would not go through such a long detour and report to the Marquis before entering the house to find Cao Xiwan.
He couldn't help but think that although the Marquis valued Su Baihu, who was born in Biying Palace, he secretly suppressed him and used both kindness and power. He was different from Qing Luo.
It's a pity that Qingluo and Biying originally grew up together in their teens.
Maybe if Su Jintian didn't have a dozen younger siblings who relied on him for protection, things would be completely different.
Marquis Nankang put down Jin Zhong'er and said in the study: "Prince Tang mentioned you again and said there was no reason to compete on the Qinhuai River. It just so happened that he wanted to borrow a royal garden in the city from your majesty to hold the wedding. It was the same as before.
The old rule is to find a place in the imperial garden where no one is around. You can discuss it among yourselves. He just wants you to have a swordsmanship showdown with Master Yang and the two masters, which can be regarded as the second game."
"...Yes." Su Jintian actually agreed.
The Marquis of Nankang couldn't help but be extremely satisfied.
He didn't care that Su Jintian lost two rounds. First, Su Jintian was young and the forty-year-old Sword Master was the real Sword Master.
Secondly, the most popular master in the capital right now is the Qingluo female ghost, who is also his confidant.
Thirdly, Song Chengming thought that Su Jintian might have to lose two games because he would be more prudent in dealing with people.
What's more, it's a great honor for my niece's wedding to be held in the imperial garden.
As the imperial concubine's natal uncle, he had secretly made plans to stay in Banchun Garden in Shunyifang, which was close to the Imperial Palace and convenient.
Or the Yujin Garden in Dexingfang. It was just built by the Palace Construction Department in the past two years and has the most exquisite scenery and gardens.
"By the way, the boat that Mr. Li Guogong gave you can also be placed in the lake of Yujin Garden. You can discuss with Master Yang to compete in your boat and don't let anyone get close to it." Song Chengming thought for a while,
"You guys have decided on this matter, I'll go and mention it to Prince Tang."
"Yes. Mr. Hou."
In short, Prince Tang has the best reputation at the moment. Your Majesty will probably let him choose the garden as he pleases.
If it were any other Jianghu person, do you think Prince Tang would be willing to spend this effort to support two masters of swordsmanship?
The news that Su Daojun and Yang Pingcui were going to have a water battle on the Yuyuan Lake in the city had spread from the Tang Prince's Palace. Gradually no one in the circle of the Imperial Palace knew about it.
Because no one else was allowed to watch the battle this time, the rumor that only the Qingluo female ghost in the capital could serve as a witness to determine the winner began to spread again. It was more true than the first time.
Cao Xiwan took leave at home, and she dared to delay the half-day leave for five or six days. However, she had a family tradition of laziness. She would visit the house every day and show her face in the Marquis's mansion. In addition to pleasing Chen's mother in the inner house, she also talked with her in the outer house.
Even after being greeted by the second steward, she loved to go to the Baiyuan to talk to Suyun and gossip about the child Liu Ying gave birth to.
That day, she was sitting on the kang in front of the window, taking a nap in the sun, holding her aunt's big orange cat in her arms.
Suyun came in, smiled and pushed her: "I see you're sleeping, wake up quickly, there's something wrong."
She took a sip of saliva and woke up in a daze. When Su Yun told her what had happened, she smiled in surprise and said, "Young Master Sixth, do you want to go see him?"
The Sixth Young Master asked her to lead a group of people to watch the battle on the boat in the imperial garden.
She couldn't stop laughing: "Where can I go to see it? Not to mention that Mr. Su Dao has a weird temperament, so he may not be willing for me to go. Mr. Yang is the only one who has a grudge against me."
