Part 1: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter 4: Trip to Li Country
Chapter 320 Shi Mansion (2)
Shi Rong was placed in the living room in the front yard. When Yue Qing and others rushed over, he was talking to Yue Ke.
Seeing Yueqing coming over, he first looked at Yuze and the other three. Then he smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Princess Shun'an. She looks a lot prettier."
"Hey, shouldn't the men of Li country be reserved? How can they carefully look at the face of a girl? If you were in any house like this, I'd definitely beat you out."
"Shi Rong is timid. Of course the girls in his house don't dare to take a closer look. Besides, these girls can't see him even if they want to."
"Oh, so you're lying to me. You just said I'm beautiful without comparing myself to other girls. It seems you're trying to trick me."
Shi Rong choked, "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare you coax the princess."
"If you don't coax me, it would be too unfriendly for you to compare with a girl who is always in public."
Shi Rong immediately shut his mouth.
Yue Ke laughed.
Yu Xin was obviously a little uncomfortable meeting Yue Ke and Shi Rong, probably because she had never seen men outside so directly.
Yuting is better.
Mo Xue walked in: "Miss, she likes to quarrel when she sees General Shi Rong."
Yue Qing turned around and saw two maids behind him.
Mo Xue said to Yu Xin and Yu Ting: "If you two girls are bored, you can go to the side hall and have some refreshments."
As she spoke, she pointed to the area blocked by a screen wall on one side. There was a gauze hanging above. Yue Qing thought there was nothing there.
Yuxin nodded quickly.
Only then did Yue Qing realize that the two of them were uncomfortable.
The maid guided the two of them there.
Mo Xue continued: "Miss, please sit down and talk."
Yue Qing nodded.
The attendant next to him guided Yu Ze to sit opposite Shi Rong.
Yue Ke and Shi Rong sat on the same side, and Mo Xue sat opposite Yue Ke.
Cai'er took Yue Qing to the main seat, and then stood behind Yue Qing.
Chang Yuxiao sat next to Yue Qing.
Shi Rong glanced at everyone in the hall without revealing anything. He originally thought that Yue Ke's decision to sit beside him was a random one, but he didn't expect that it was intentional.
Yu Ze was a little nervous, feeling that he had never officially participated in a party outside. Especially the gentlemen around him are more intimidating than his own husband. The attendant next to him poured him a cup of tea, and Yuze quickly thanked him.
Yue Qing didn't feel anything at all, so she casually took a piece of fruit and put it in her mouth.
Yue Qing doesn't like to use chopsticks and other tools. She just pinches it with two fingers every time. If she encounters watery fruits, she won't eat them. Therefore, the fruits on the table were cut according to Yue Qing's custom and inserted with a special jade fork. The fork only had two teeth and was not very sharp to prevent her from hurting herself.
"Shi Rong, why did you come to me? I was taking Yuze and the others to play in the back mountain. When I heard you were coming, I quickly brought them down to see you. Do you know how far it is? I don't have enough physical strength. Fortunately, Sister Yuxin’s feet are probably weak.”
"I originally went to the palace to see the young lady, but I didn't expect that the princess had already moved. Why is the princess so indifferent? She didn't even say anything about moving to a new house, so that I could come with a small gift to congratulate her."
"I don't have time to tell you, but I was so angry that I came out. Tell you why, so that you can laugh at my jokes. Besides, I told you, you have to have time to talk to me. I don't want to go to the street to see San Yuxiao. Being besieged by everyone, the excitement is so beautiful, but it is much more interesting than the princess moving."
Shi Rong said: "The princess is a bit unfair to Shi Rong when she says this. I have never done anything to add insult to injury to Mr. Yuxiao."
"Really? Alas, this matter is over anyway. Seeing that your performance is pretty good, I will trust you for the time being."
"Shi Rong is very pleased to have the trust of the princess. If those people waiting outside the hospital know who the owner of this hospital is, they will probably regret focusing on Master Yuxiao."
Yue Qing said: "So what happened to San Yuxiao happened just right, so that we don't have to attract attention and have to deal with those people in a bad mood."
Shi Rong smiled and didn't answer the question. After a pause, he said: "The princess's courtyard is much more comfortable than the palace. Shanmen is really wealthy. The construction of the river alone will cost more than ten thousand taels of gold."
Yue Qing glanced at Yue Ke in surprise.
Yue Ke said: "General Shi Rong is joking, it's just a circulating waterway, why do we need so many."
"I'm not kidding. The materials used for the river and the bridge are all expensive materials. Even Li Palace would not dare to do this."
Yue Ke said: "How can the area of this courtyard be compared with Li Palace? Li Palace is so majestic that our villa cannot match it."
Yue Qing said: "That's true. I also think Li Palace is particularly magnificent."
Shi Rong said: "Although the princess's courtyard is not as grand as Li Palace, its pleasant scenery and comfortable environment are much better than most mansions."
Yue Qing said: "It's true. The garden is very beautiful, and the inner courtyard is even more beautiful."
"Seriously? It's a pity that Shi Rong has no chance to experience this beautiful scenery."
Yue Qing said with a smile: "It is indeed a pity. Who told men from Li country not to enter other people's backyards? Hahaha!"
There was no regret in his tone.
Shi Rong wasn't angry either. After she finished laughing, he continued to sigh: "Seeing that the courtyard is so beautiful and comfortable, it's hard for Shi Rong to say it."
Yue Qing stopped laughing: "What?"
"Princess, do you still remember that you made an appointment with Shi Rong in the palace to be a guest in my palace."
"Remember, remember, of course. Why, are you convenient recently? I have nothing to do recently."
Shi Rong said: "I have time, but after seeing the princess's yard, I was a little worried that the humble house would ruin the princess' elegance."
"Don't worry, I won't choose. We came all the way back from the villa. Did you see me complaining on the road? I would choose a place to go out to play. Didn't you say that your home has a school ground? We have never seen it. I really want to Let’s go take a look. Right, Yu Ze.”
Seeing his name being called, Yu Ze nodded quickly: "Yes, General Shi Rong."
Yue Qing said: "Look, I told you, not only Yu Ze, I also want to take my sisters with me."
Shi Rong laughed and was about to speak when Yue Ke coughed beside him.
Yue Qing glanced at him.
Mo Xue said: "I wonder when Miss plans to go?"
Yue Qing looked at Mo Xue again, "Oh, by the way, Shi Rong, and the people from the villa, we'll go together, and you have to prepare meals for thirty or forty people at least."
After speaking, he continued to look at Mo Xue: "Mr. Xue, how are you doing?"
Mo Xue held back what she was going to say, so she could only say: "There is no need for thirty or forty people, but the villa needs to be prepared to some extent."
Yue Qing made the decision for Shi Rong and said: "No problem, Shi Rong said last time that as many people as possible can go."
Mo Xue asked: "I wonder when Miss plans to go?"
Yue Qing looked at Shi Rong: "Anyway, I have nothing to do these two days, so I can go tomorrow. Shi Rong, is it convenient for your family tomorrow?"
Shi Rong smiled and said: "It's convenient, it all depends on the princess' wishes."
Yueming looked at Mo Xue: "Mr. Xue, shall we go there tomorrow?"
Mo Xue said: "Both the Villa and Shi Mansion probably need some preparation. In my opinion, it is better to go there the day after tomorrow."
Yueqing nodded: "Okay, Yuze, do you have any homework the day after tomorrow?"
Yuze said: "I can explain to my husband tomorrow that I will fill in the missing parts later. Sisters Yuxin and Yuting still need to ask their father."
Yue Qing nodded: "That's true, otherwise I will send you a letter directly, and you go back and tell dad that they are not going back today, so they will stay here with me, and we will set off together the day after tomorrow."
Yuze hesitated.
Yu Xin said: "No, Yu Qing, dad will definitely be angry, and my aunt will also be worried."
Yue Qing thought for a while and said, "Then, let San Yuxiao pick you up the day after tomorrow."
Shi Rong said: "You can pass here from Prince Yongjing's Mansion to Shi Mansion. Why don't Master Yuze and the two ladies meet here first and then go to Shi Mansion together. After I go back today, I will ask my sister to write an invitation and send it to the Prince's Mansion. I want to come. What King Yongjing promised in advance will not be broken."
Yue Qing nodded: "Okay, Sister Yuxin, you have to get up earlier."
Yuxin smiled and said: "We get up quite late on weekdays. We have to say hello to our father and mother. How can my sister be so lucky? She sleeps until the sun rises every day."
Yue Qing laughed twice. "Sister, you can't make fun of me, especially outside, be careful I get angry."
Yuxin said quickly: "Sister is wrong, Yuqing, don't be really angry."
Yue Qing snorted and said: "Then let's make it that way. We'll start from here the day after tomorrow."
Shi Rong nodded: "So I don't know how the villa is arranged. Who is coming? I can prepare well when I go back." He looked at Mo Xue as he spoke.
Yue Qing also looked at Mo Xue.
Mo Xue frowned slightly, slightly adjusted his gaze towards Yue Qing and said gently: "Miss, after hearing about this a few days ago, we have discussed it. Cai'er and the other three need to take care of Miss's daily life, so they naturally have to follow."
"Chunxiu isn't going?"
Mo Xue was stunned for a moment: "I thought the lady didn't like the crowd, so I didn't include her."
"She won't be too much, so take her with you."
"Yes, there are four deacons including me."
"Who do you plan to go?"
"Yue Ke, Chang Ge and Qi Jiao."
"Oh, then it's just you four, okay."
"The accompanying guards can only bring the red guards with them."
"Are all five of them going?"
"I'm worried that if there is anything you need to do, Miss, all five of you will go."
Shi Rong picked up the tea cup.
Yueqing asked: "Is there any more?"
"No, there are fifteen of us including Chang Yuxiao and Miss. What do you think, Miss?"
Yue Qing thought to herself: You have brought all the important people with you. Of course it is a bit much for her to say.
"Will it bring inconvenience to Shi Mansion if so many of us move together in the past?"
Mo Xue said: "Chiwei, Cai'er and others are just accompanying us, so Shi Mansion doesn't need to pay too much attention. Besides, Miss Yuxin always needs someone to take care of her."
Yue Qing pouted: "What you said makes some sense. Let's leave it like this for now. What do you think, Shi Rong?"
Shi Rong smiled and said: "It's less than expected. Will the Yue family head go with the princess this time?"
"Him? He will be very busy recently, so he probably won't have time."
"Oh? Oh, what is Master Yue busy with?"
Yue Ke said: "It's just some trivial matters, General Shi Rong doesn't need to worry about it."
Shi Rong glanced at him and didn't ask.
Yue Qing glanced at the two of them and changed the subject: "Shi Rong, I didn't ask your sister's name yet? How old is she?"
"My sister-in-law is fifteen this year and her name is Shi Ying."
"The name is very nice. Didn't we already have a kiss at the age of fifteen?"
"It has already been decided."
"Oh, I already have a fiancé, that's awesome. Did you tell her we were going? Is your sister happy?"
"My roommate is naturally happy to have someone to talk to her, which is something she couldn't ask for. I heard that she often talks about this matter with a few of her close friends, and she is very proud of it."
"Really? I really envy her for having so many good friends."
"My roommate likes to make friends, and I think I will become good friends with the Princess."
"Well, I'm also very happy to make good friends in Li Country."
Shi Rong smiled.
Yue Qing continued: "You and Yu Ze are here, but I haven't shown you around yet. In fact, I haven't been around in the front yard for long, so why not let Yue Ke take us around."
Before Yue Ke could speak, Shi Rong continued: "That's just right. Shi Rong also wants to take a closer look at this garden."
Yue Qing stood up happily: "Then let's leave quickly, Yue Ke, leave quickly."
Yue Ke stood up helplessly: "Since Miss Ru is interested, I will show you around."
Yue Qing asked Mo Xue: "Mr. Xue, are you going?"
Mo Xue stood up and said, "Miss, you go and play. I still have some things to discuss with Chang Ge."
"Okay. Sister Yuxin, Yuting, hurry up and take you to the garden. I saw a tree last time with very beautiful flowers."
Mo Xue watched them leave and ordered the attendants beside her: "Tell everyone around to pay attention to things that outsiders shouldn't see."
"yes."
