Early in the morning on New Year's Day.
Cheng Xi got up early to practice martial arts and finished all his breakfast. He remembered the injury on Cheng Jingyu's face and wanted to go and have a look.
She was brutally beaten by him last night, but I don't know if this girl took it to heart.
She looked most like his late wife, and he had kept her in the Marquis's residence for many years, so she had many shortcomings.
He couldn't bear the aggrieved look last night.
But being bold is not a good thing, especially if the royal family is involved, so we can't let her do whatever she wants.
Cheng Xi stretched his waist and entered the Jinyu Garden. When the servants waiting in the garden saw him coming in, they all panicked.
Chunhua came the fastest: "Hou, Mr. Hou! Happy New Year, why are you here?"
"Where is Cheng Jingyu?" Cheng Xi had just wanted to talk to Cheng Jingyu properly, but now he couldn't control himself: "Is she not here?!"
He said that he was about to go in.
Early in the morning on New Year's Day, the Marquis Mansion couldn't contain her!
Chunhua still wanted to stop her: "Master Hou! The princess hasn't gotten up yet!"
"Aren't you getting up? You should be waking up even if you don't make this noise. Get out of the way!"
Where Chunhua could stop him, Cheng Xi pushed him aside and kicked the door open.
The embroidery bed was empty, and there was no one there.
"Cheng! Jing! Yu!!!!!"
**
Cheng Jingyu had already arrived at Jinyinxuan and went out before her father got up.
At this moment, the person was very sleepy, staring at a wall in front of him.
The foreman responsible for digging the secret passage was still standing aside, staring at the wall eager to try: "Princess, do you want to dig it?"
The wall is already as thin as paper, and it only takes one hammer to go down directly to the Proton Mansion.
"Chisel!" Cheng Jingyu said softly.
The foreman then raised his hammer and hit it hard.
'Bang' a loud noise!
The wall fell down, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Cough cough cough cough -" Cheng Jingyu choked and coughed. When she took a closer look, she realized that the furnishings in front of her were not simple.
What comes into view is a cluster of purple irises, followed by an incense burner, burning incense, and a spiritual tablet——
The position of Zhaoli, the daughter of the eldest grandson.
Very good, we have dug up the Buddhist temple in Zhizi Mansion.
If the spirit tablet in front of him was correct, it should belong to Fu Yanci's mother.
The foreman was so frightened that he recited Amitabha and ran away.
Cheng Jingyu was left standing there, not knowing how to react.
However, soon, the door of the Buddhist hall was pushed open, and Fu Yanci and Si Jue came in.
The scene in front of me was too shocking. Who would have thought that someone would dig out a secret tunnel in the place where they live? ?
Cheng Jingyu looked a bit funny standing in the secret passage with a dusty face.
Fu Yanci's eyes slowly moved from the messy mud bricks to Cheng Jingyu's face.
This man's complexion is too fair. The mark on his forehead from last night has not disappeared, and his face is slightly swollen.
He stood like this for a long time, like a child who had done something wrong, somewhat at a loss and not daring to look directly at Fu Yanci.
Fu Yanci almost laughed angrily: "With this way of visiting the princess, are you not afraid that I will report you to the official and arrest you?"
Cheng Jingyu took two steps forward.
She seemed to be thinking about what to do.
Si Jue said alertly: "Princess, you——"
He wanted to say that such a unique appearance was due to something extraordinary happening in Kyoto?
"I'm sorry!" Cheng Jingyu ignored them and walked to the memorial tablet, knelt down and kowtowed three times devoutly.
He also muttered: "I didn't mean it, and I didn't know I would end up here. Please consider that this is my first offender and don't argue with me."
As she spoke, she rubbed her palms together, as if she would correct her mistakes after she realized them.
Looks...a bit well-behaved.
Si Jue swallowed the rest of his words, glanced at Fu Yanci, and wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
Cheng Jingyu admitted her mistake to her ancestors, then stood up and walked to Fu Yanci: "Your Highness, it's Chinese New Year, I'll give you a gift."
All the way out of the secret passage, my vision suddenly opened up, and I arrived outside a small courtyard.
Fu Yanci saw a large field of newly planted irises.
I saw another well-arranged bath. The hot spring was natural and slowly flowed out of the ground.
The whole courtyard is not as cold as the Zhizi Mansion, but is warm and open.
Even Si Jue was amazed: "This house is probably the best in the East Street area. I didn't expect it to be directly connected to the Proton Mansion!"
The two mansions are back to back, so of course they couldn't have been connected from the beginning.
It can be seen that Cheng Jingyu spent a lot of time preparing this house.
Fu Yanci looked at Cheng Jingyu: "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Cheng Jingyu was trying to please someone for the first time, and she was angry with him last night. She didn't want to appear too warm: "You are very ill, and it will only get worse if you stay in Proton Mansion for a long time."
Hearing the word sick, Si Jue glanced at his master in surprise.
In the eyes of the princess, is His Highness just a sick man?
Fu Yanci looked around calmly, and finally his eyes fell on Cheng Jingyu.
She seemed rather embarrassed.
That's right, the princess, if you want to reward people, you can just wave your hand, there is no need to spend so much trouble.
"The princess is afraid that I will die before things happen, so she wastes all her efforts to buy this house?"
Hearing the word death, Cheng Jingyu frowned subconsciously.
But soon she nodded calmly: "Yes, after all, we are using each other now, I can't let you die easily, can I?"
After saying that, I wanted to slap myself in the mouth again.
Cheng Jingyu, do you have to speak so harshly?
Today is Fu Yanci's mother's memorial day, so why not say a few nice words?
She was thinking about how to make up for it, but Fu Yanci nodded as if he didn't care: "How much is it? I'll ask Si Jue to get it for you."
In the past, he didn't think anything was wrong when he lived in the Proton Mansion.
The left and right sides are just a place to stay. Even if Xiao Shenggao sends people to watch, it is not difficult for him to avoid it.
Only by putting yourself in danger can you be more covert.
But since he has now accepted Cheng Jingyu's conditions, and the two of them are grasshoppers on the same rope, it is better to have a place to discuss things.
Cheng Jingyu couldn't always visit Proton Mansion, and he couldn't go to Cheng Mansion either.
The best place is outside.
"No need." Cheng Jingyu muttered, "You might be poorer than me."
When Fu Yanci lived in Dajing, his father didn't love his brother, and he didn't have a strong maternal clan. It's easy to imagine that he didn't have much money.
And this is what she wants to give to Fu Yanci. Since it is a gift, there is no reason to accept money from others.
"poverty?"
His Highness Fu, who has never known how to write the word "poor" since he was born, raised his eyebrows.
Even Si Jue couldn't help but laugh: "How can the princess say this?"
"Your father has pushed you out as a hostage, and your royal brother doesn't look like a good person. They will definitely not give you money."
Cheng Jingyu described Fu Yanci as a poor cabbage in the cabbage field.
It was concluded that he was a poor man.
Si Jue held back his laughter and wanted to refute her, but Fu Yanci stopped him with a look before he could say anything.
"...."
Fu Yanci crossed his arms and looked as if Cheng Jingyu had been right: "What about the princess?"
"What?" Cheng Jingyu didn't know why he suddenly talked about her.
"Even though the country in Western Chu is prosperous, under the ancestral system, a princess may not have a hundred thousand taels of silver even if she saves it for ten years. By buying this house, has the princess emptied her family fortune?"
Cheng Jingyu: "..."
How come someone is so concerned about the root cause of a gift?
Looking at her expression, Fu Yanci's unsatisfactory mood when he woke up in the morning suddenly subsided, and it was also covered with a bit of joy.
He leaned down and approached Cheng Jingyu: "Did the princess spend all her dowry to buy the village?"
Yoyo Luming:
Remember this hot spring bath, take a test.
