While the two were chatting, the sound of cars and horses came from outside the yard, and not long after, Li Junxian walked in quickly with someone else.
"Hey, Lao Gao? It's just the New Year. I finally returned to Zhuangzi to rest for two days. Don't make it difficult for me." Xiao Rui shouted jokingly: "Let's make a deal first. If you come to drink today, If you want to play chess over tea, I welcome you. If it’s about something else, please don’t talk to me and I won’t send you away.”
Here……
The high chamberlain opened his mouth and almost choked to death.
Fortunately, this was not the first time he had dealt with Xiao Rui. The two of them were quite familiar with each other, so after a brief moment of embarrassment, he walked in generously, avoiding looking at Xiao Rui, and begged Chai Shao: "Prince-in-law. You are here to judge, this old slave is just an errand messenger, the Marquis has always been wise, but today he is not allowed to say anything, isn’t this going to cost my slave’s life!”
Chai Shao laughed loudly and smoothed things over: "Alright Zang Feng, stop teasing the high chamberlain. You are just a sharp-tongued master who doesn't care about what you say. But whenever something happens to the country, you are not the first one." The one who rushed to the front?"
Xiao Rui curled his lips and said: "Uncle, I seriously doubt that the two of you have agreed today. You are not here to drink tea with me. You are here to stand in front of His Majesty."
Chai Shao picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "You can say whatever you want. After the Lantern Festival, when the old man comes back from Chang'an City, I will also move here. I have been working as an official outside for so many years, and I have never fulfilled my filial piety properly. Please stay with me this time."
puff……
Accompany the old man? You can pull it off, you say it nicely, but in fact you just want to come to my place for vacation. My manor is about to become a nursing home for retired cadres. No, it seems more like a club. After all, except for those special services, there is nothing else here. In terms of food, drink, and housing, none of Chang'an or even the entire Tang Dynasty could match the advanced level.
Xiao Rui rolled his eyes, but did not point it out, "Okay, then I will tell Xiangcheng later and arrange a place for my uncle in advance."
"Lao Gao, since my uncle is interceding for you, please sit down and tell me what you want to do?"
The high chamberlain said respectfully: "Master Marquis, how can I dare to drink with you two at the same table? I have nothing else to do here this time. Your Majesty sent a message to Lingnan, summoning Princess Changle to come back for the New Year, but the princess thought that the weather in Lingnan was warm. Yu, refused. The new year has passed, and the princess still has no intention of turning around, so..."
Is the weather warm in Lingnan?
Xiao Rui laughed loudly and said: "What nonsense! Although Chang'an is cold, it can't freeze her, the princess. This girl obviously went to Lingnan Xinqi, went crazy and was reluctant to come back."
Lao Gao echoed: "It can be said that your Majesty also means the same thing. The problem is that Lingnan is too far away, and the King of Jiangxia dare not order the little princess. It is useless to send people to the court, so I want to ask the Marquis to come forward. After all, the little princess I am still obedient to you as a teacher."
Xiao Rui sneered and said: "You are so arrogant, your majesty said it with a curse. Invite me to come forward? Haha, does your majesty still need to invite me? If I guessed correctly, your majesty's original words were: Order Xiao Rui, Changle If he doesn’t come back, I’ll break his legs!”
puff……
Chai Shao burst into laughter, "Boy, your tone is 90% similar."
The chamberlain Lao Gao stood dumbfounded on the spot and asked weakly: "Master Marquis, are you really a god? Not only the tone, but the words are also accurate. This old slave is really convinced."
Xiao Rui signaled again, "Okay, Lao Gao, my uncle is not an outsider. Come and sit down. You have traveled dozens of miles to come here. It's freezing cold. When you get to my house, I won't even give you a cup of hot tea? I'll ask my father-in-law later." You know, why don't you call me stingy? I'm the one who criticizes him so harshly?"
Chai Shao nodded: "High Chamberlain, please take a seat. You don't know the rules of Xiaojiazhuang. There are no official titles here, only family and friendship."
The chamberlain Gao said gratefully: "Thank you, Prince Consort, and thank you, Lord Marquis, for your consideration."
He just sat down at the table, but he didn't dare to let Xiao Rui pour tea. He picked up the teapot himself, filled it up for Xiao Rui and Chai Shao, and then took a cup and poured himself a cup.
Chai Shao said: "Speaking of this girl Changle, Zangfeng, you have to pay attention. In the past two years, the child has gradually grown up. She is no longer as young as she was when she was a child. She can no longer be left alone. When she was noisy when she was young, she could be said to be playful. Now she should be disciplined."
"There is nothing to say about your ability to teach students, but it is more about skills and true ability. However, etiquette cannot be discarded. Changle is a girl after all. Girls are different from boys in that they pay attention to education and reputation. If you continue to play like this, Who in Chang'an City dares to marry?"
puff……
Xiao Rui wanted to vomit blood.
"Uncle, what you are saying is that I am Changle's brother-in-law. Although I have taught her some skills, I am not her teacher. Her real apprentice is Taoist Ge. What you are saying is like I am Changle's playful and mischievous person. The teachings are the same? I won’t take the blame for this.”
Seeing this guy shaking his head like a rattle, someone who doesn't know the inside story might really believe it.
But who is Chai Shao?
He laughed and scolded: "You kid, if others don't know, how can our family members know? Chang'an was very well-behaved when he was a child. Since he met you, he later moved to Xiaojiazhuang and studied with you for two years. What do you think now? Your Majesty. It's a tiger that leads the way, it's a poisonous ally, it's a guy who dances with guns and sticks all day long, how can he still look like a girl?"
"You are still young and ignorant, but we elders are already worried about Changle's marriage. Who will you marry in the future? If Changle can't get married, will you find a suitable husband?"
puff……
I?
Why me?
Xiao Rui wanted to refute, but he lacked the confidence and said weakly: "You really can't blame me. I didn't think about it and didn't teach it like this. Maybe it liberated my nature?"
Chai Shao smiled and said, "You, please think of a solution earlier, otherwise, your Majesty will not be able to do anything to you, and the Queen will not let you go."
Ahem... Xiao Rui is afraid. His mother-in-law is very nice, but if Changle's marriage becomes a big problem in the future, she may not be so nice. What should I do?
Seeing Xiao Rui's embarrassment and worry, the chamberlain Lao Gao reminded Du Ai: "Master Hou, the consort is right. Look, can you think of a way to recall the little princess as soon as possible, and then she can go to school to teach art?" ?”
Xiao Rui nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, we really can't delay it. In another three to five years, this girl will marry her husband's family."
"In this case, Lao Gao, you go and reply to His Majesty and tell me that I will set off tomorrow and go to Lingnan in person. I will definitely capture that girl."
ah? ? ?
The chamberlain Lao Gao was surprised and said: "Master Marquis, you want to go to Lingnan in person? Isn't this inappropriate? The little princess listens to you the most, can you just write a letter? There is no need to go there in person. "
"Lingnan has traveled thousands of miles and traveled long distances. Your body..."
Chai Shao also advised: "Yes, Zangfeng. It's snowing heavily outside. It's not the season for travel. You are weak and you can't take risks. Little Changle is just having fun in Lingnan for a few days. He will naturally come back when he has had enough."
Phew...Uncle, where are you from? Why did your tone of voice change so quickly?
