The steward of the palace of rebirth

Chapter 136 Meeting in a narrow road

The matter of getting engaged was not so urgent. Mu Changfeng and Gu Zhengqing expected that Mu Qianfan's incident would come after his wedding with Princess Wuman, and the wedding was still more than a month away.Therefore, the engagement of the two should be at least two months later.The concubine has been choosing good days and auspicious days for a while, and Gu Zhengqing didn't dare to go over. Feeling shy is one thing, but being caught by the concubine and constantly asking him for opinions is what makes him feel at a loss.

"Qing'er."

Gu Zhengqing stopped walking, cried out secretly, turned around and shouted obediently: "Toffee."

"What are you going to do? There are only so many people in this palace." Su Yao came over and said, "Quickly pay Aunt Su to have a look. Today, I have an appointment with the shopkeeper of Jinyu Pavilion and say hello to him." Now, I want to choose a pair of jade pendants for the engagement ceremony."

really..

"Yes." Gu Zhengqing could only obediently respond.

His helpless yet obedient obedience made the nanny and Qingwu beside Su Yao laugh.

Gu Zhengqing was dragged out by Su Yao just like that, Gu Huai Siyi saw it so well, suddenly he was filled with displeasure, it was obviously his son.

Seeing Gu Huaisi's expression from a distance was not happy, and those with eyesight avoided him, fearing that he would suffer disaster.

Jinyu Pavilion is located on Zhuque Street, and it is the most famous jade shop in the capital. The owner of this jade shop is the Qian family.

After Gu Zhengqing and his party arrived at Jinyu Pavilion, the shopkeeper quickly came out to greet them.

"Meet the concubine." The shopkeeper's surname is Zhang, everyone calls him Zhang shopkeeper, he looks very kind, but in fact he is a very shrewd businessman.

After saluting Su Yao, shopkeeper Zhang also greeted Gu Zhengqing.

"Concubine, please come inside, all the jades are ready, just waiting for you to pick them." Shopkeeper Zhang asked without talking nonsense.

"Okay." Su Yao said, walking into Jinyu Pavilion.

The Jinyu Pavilion is very spacious, because all the items sold are expensive jade, four strong men with strong martial arts are standing guard at the door, and the guys inside are also well-trained young men.

Gu Zhengqing came here occasionally, knowing that as the concubine Su Yao, she would be invited directly to the upper seat on the second floor.

Sure enough, shopkeeper Zhang invited Su Yao to the second floor directly.

Compared with the first floor, the second floor is more spacious and more delicately furnished.After leading Su Yao to sit down, shopkeeper Zhang quickly ordered someone to take out the jade pendant that Su Yao was going to choose today.

Gu Zhengqing originally wanted to stand quietly, but Su Yao said: "Qing'er, come sit here and choose together, and tell me which one you like.

Aunt Sue. "

"Yes." Gu Zhengqing sat down obediently.

The shopkeeper Zhang next to him was secretly suspicious of this scene. He knew Gu Zhengqing's identity and was the steward of the Lingwang's mansion, but he never expected that Su Yao would be so kind to him. Even the toffee cup implied that he was His Highness the Lingwang The jade pendant used in the engagement ceremony also had the right to choose. Shopkeeper Zhang's heart turned quickly, and he quickly guessed that there might be something special about Gu Zhengqing. At the same time, he went to bring a wooden plate, black silk cloth Above it is a pair of very fine jade pendants, which were placed on the table.

"Twife, please take a look." Shopkeeper Zhang said.

"Well, this one is not bad." Su Yao saw the value of the jade at a glance.

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled: "There are more in the back, I will show you one by one later."

"Okay." Su Yao nodded, and then said to Gu Zhengqing, "Look, Qing'er, do you like this jade?"

Gu Zhengqing has been with Mu Changfeng for many years, and has a certain appreciation ability for these items. Although he is a little embarrassed, he still looks at it seriously.

"Shopkeeper, why don't you just bring them all up." When Gu Zhengqing was watching, Su Yao said to Zhang Zhang.

Shopkeeper Zhang, of course, agreed, and ordered people to bring up the remaining seven or eight pairs and arrange them on the table.

This time Gu Zhengqing was almost at a loss, but fortunately, his selection criteria had always been based on Mu Changfeng's preferences, and after elimination, the rest was screening.

"You child, don't always worry about Changfeng. You have to choose... Cough, shopkeeper Zhang, why don't you let us see for ourselves?" Su Yao stopped talking halfway, and turned to shopkeeper Zhang.

Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned when Su Yao just said it, but when he was a little surprised, Su Yao persuaded him to leave.

The shopkeeper Zhang was also savvy, so of course he led the people to the other side: "Then take your time to choose the concubine."

As soon as Shopkeeper Zhang left, Su Yao immediately said to Gu Zhengqing: "You just pick what you like, don't always think about Changfeng."

"I like whatever the lord likes." Gu Zhengqing replied.

Su Yao: ..

Why are you so honest.

"Then it's up to you." Su Yao said helplessly.

Gu Zhengqing got the order, bowed his head and continued to pick his jade pendant.

Just when Gu Zhengqing was hesitating which pair to choose among the jade pendants that had already been screened out, there was a movement downstairs, and shopkeeper Zhang was invited downstairs.

"Who's here?" Su Yao also noticed and asked the people around her.

Soon someone went to investigate, and then came back: "Back to the concubine, it is King Rui."

Mu Qianfan?Gu Zhengqing frowned slightly, and Su Yao also restrained her expression: "Why is he here?"

"Taufei, King Rui is coming upstairs." The inspector said humanely.

Sure enough, soon the footsteps of a group of people going up the stairs came from the other side of the stairs.

"I've seen Concubine Su." Mu Qianfan looked at Su Yao in surprise as soon as he came up, "I just happened to enter the store and heard that you are here

"

〇

"Come and see." Su Yao said.

"This is choosing jade pendants. These are all good jades, shopkeeper Zhang. After a while, all the jade pendants bought by Concubine Su's mother will be included in my king's account." Mu Qianfan said immediately after seeing the jade pendants on the table.

Su Yao said with a smile: "you still have the heart, but this jade pendant has a special meaning, so it's not convenient for you to spend money. Next time I have a chance, I will definitely call you. "

"Oh? What's the special meaning?" Mu Qianfan looked very curious.It was also at this time that he noticed that there was another person sitting with Su Yao, Gu Zhengqing.Mu Qianfan's eyes flickered.Obviously, like shopkeeper Zhang, he didn't expect Gu Zhengqing to sit down with Su Yao.

"Your fourth brother used it for engagement." Su Yao didn't hide it either.

"Engagement? Sure enough, the legend in the capital is true. Brother Wang really has an engagement partner. I don't know which girl it is." Mu Qianfan was a little surprised.

"I'll invite you to the door when I'm engaged. I'll know when the time comes. There's no rush now." Su Yao said.

"Then... that's fine, I'll wait to drink brother Wang's wedding wine." Mu Qianfan really wanted to keep asking, but Su Yao made it clear that she didn't mean to tell him, so she stopped asking for trouble.However, engagement?I don't know which girl is so unlucky that she is engaged to Mu Changfeng at this time, and she doesn't know how to cry when the time comes.Mu Qianfan sneered darkly in his heart.

Gu Zhengqing didn't want to see Mu Qianfan very much, but according to his status, he had to get up and salute, and then stood silently aside.

"Brother Zhengqing is also here." Mu Qianfan did not intend to keep him silent, and called him by name.

"You are here to buy something, don't delay because of me." Su Yao said at this time.

Mu Qianfan thought for a moment, "I just came here for a casual stroll, and Concubine Su's matter is more important. I don't know if I can choose together."

"It's all been chosen." Su Yao said, then smiled and pointed out the two pairs of jade pendants that Gu Zhengqing had screened out just now and hadn't had time to choose which pair, and said to shopkeeper Zhang: "I want all three pairs, please shopkeeper Zhang Pack it up."

"No problem." Shopkeeper Zhang came over immediately, put the two pairs of jade pendants back together, and put away the rest of the jade pendants.

Every time it was like hitting a soft nail and being pushed back by Su Yao, although Mu Qianfan's expression remained unchanged, he was already dissatisfied in his heart. Thinking of what Mu Changfeng did behind his back, he felt extremely disgusted with Su Yao.

"Since Su Mu and concubine have already been selected, then the king will not bother me, and I will wait for the invitation from brother Wang to come to the door." Mu Qianfan said. "Okay." Su Yao said.

"Farewell." Mu Qianfan turned around and left with the others.

Gu Zhengqing silently looked at the backs of Mu Qianfan and his party, expressionless.

"Go back." Su Yao said.

"Okay." Gu Zhengqing took the two brocade boxes packed by shopkeeper Zhang, and left Jinyu Pavilion after Su Yao.

The clerk of Jinyu Pavilion suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to shopkeeper Zhang: "Why do you feel that the atmosphere between King Rui and Concubine Su is not right?

what. "

"Don't talk too much, it's up to you." Shopkeeper Zhang said coldly.

The man knew that he had slipped his words, so he hurried to work, not daring to speak any more.

Holding two brocade boxes, Gu Zhengqing reacted: "Taifei, why did we buy two pairs at once?"

"Since we all like it, let's buy it, don't worry about it." Su Yao said.

Gu Zhengqing is silent, Su Yao must have noticed his tangled appearance, and feels a little ashamed, even Gu Zhengqing is embarrassed

I thought about it.

"So you came back with two brocade boxes?" After listening to Gu Zhengqing's embarrassing report, Mu Changfeng looked at him with a smile on his face

"Yes." Gu Zhengqing nodded, "By the time I realized it, I had already walked out of Jinyu Pavilion for a long time."

"What's so embarrassing about this, don't worry, you're the only one who is struggling." Mu Changfeng said.

Gu Zhengqing blinked silently, feeling ashamed to feel ashamed.

"What is Mu Qianfan doing in Jinyu Pavilion?" Mu Changfeng changed the subject.

"I don't know, I just left when I came, without looking at anything." Gu Zhengqing said.

"So leisurely, it seems that he is very confident in his own conspiracy." Mu Changfeng said.

"That's not good, it will be too late when he realizes that he is wrong, so as to save us trouble." Gu Zhengqing said.

Mu Changfeng nodded: "Well, that's right, that's the reason."

"Did King Ming send any new news today?" Gu Zhengqing asked.

"No for the time being. It seems that the two brothers Wang and Huang have to work harder to put on a show. Add more fire, and they will burn faster themselves." Mu Changfeng said.

This sounds pretty good, Gu Zhengqing's uneasy mood because of seeing Mu Qianfan dissipated today.

"It's hard work for King Ming and King Cheng, and it's not easy to make yourself look like a madman all day long." Gu Zheng

Green Road.

Mu Changfeng disagreed after thinking about it, and nodded in agreement, "Then let the emperor compensate them afterwards."
