Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 261 Presenting a gift to the eldest son of the emperor
Seeing this, Danggui and the others withdrew to prepare meals for the master.

For a while, there were only Nanny Gu and Uncle Yun left in the room. Seeing that the master showed no objection, Uncle Yun threatened Tie Le to form an alliance in a low voice. Now it is time to take Ding Wei back, and he will arrive in the capital in ten days or so. said.

Gu Momo was so happy that she wiped away her tears, and responded in one voice, "Okay, okay, that's really great."

Xu Shi realized that her voice was a little loud, and after she said a few words, she quickly covered her mouth, remembering the appearance of everyone just now, and also understood the need for the master to conceal the news.

"Master, don't worry, there is an old slave here, little master!"

Gong Zhiming nodded, and looked up at the clear sky outside the window, with white clouds, soft and white, and in a few days, the yard would resume its usual bustle.His beloved little girl likes to sit under a tree and do needlework in such weather, or simply move the account books and abacus, rattling non-stop.

That voice is really wonderful, it seems that all the troubles in the world will disappear without a trace in this yard...

At the distant Quanzhou Wharf, seven or eight large ships are just dropping their anchors and mooring at the port.First, a big boat stepped on the springboard, and seven or eight men ran off like flying, and the leader was Chu Laosan.

Two months, neither long nor short, was enough to turn a man who grew up on dry land into a real seaside fisherman.

Ever since the Chu family moved here overnight from the imperial capital, the whole family has been soaking in the sea for ten days and ten nights without coming out, until all the servants, servants, and even the eldest grandson who lost their father learned to swim, and all the people cried without tears The female relatives were allowed to go ashore.

Afterwards, the women rolled up their sleeves and learned to dry fish, dry sea vegetables, make crab sauce, and sew fishing nets, while the men learned to sail and drive a boat. It was shocking to watch, but after persuading him twice, the old man of the Chu family still refused to relax at all, and the few of them were fine.

A small family has the suffering of a small family, and a big family also has the suffering of a big family.If the previous Chu family was an old eagle, now it is the one that has ruthlessly worn off its stiff claws and tore off its own wings to gather strength and wait for the years to give it new claws and new wings , and then once again soared into the sky!
Old Master Chu also had a red face, and was barefoot. He rolled up his trousers and stood waiting with Fang Fu on the shore. When his son came back, he couldn't help but smile in his eyes.

After all, the eldest son is gone, and the old man no longer wants to suffer the pain of a white-haired man giving away a black-haired man, but for the sake of the family, sometimes he has to be hard-hearted and throw his son out to fight the storm.

Chu Lao San and Chu Lao Er knelt down to salute their father, and finally got up and reported excitedly, "Father, we are back! This trip was not in vain, as my sister-in-law said, there is really a big island in the south! We dug I bought that kind of 'yellow banana', and that kind of hard-shelled coconut, dad must try it, it tastes really good!"

"Yes, father, there are corals and pearls, they are everywhere!" Chu's second son was also very excited, dancing and gesticulating.It turns out that Overseas is really the same as what my sister-in-law and that girl said, it is really much bigger than Donghao, and it is also much more novel!

"Okay, okay!" Mr. Chu patted his two sons, and finally looked behind them, "Where is Steward Cheng and your steward?"

Chu Lao San laughed and said, "When I came back, there was a little storm, and they were very seasick. Let someone carry them down later."

Fang Fu, who had always been reticent, waved his hands and interjected, "There is news from the capital. The young master said that you must arrive at the mouth of the canal in the capital in the early morning after eight days. Time is running out, you have to continue on your way!"

Both Chu Lao Er and Chu Lao San were puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Send all the things on the boat?"

"Of course, our young master's original words are that we will give a gift to the eldest son of the emperor that day!" Fang Fu nodded and specially instructed.

"Enter the contribution ceremony?" Chu's second son and Chu's third son immediately straightened their faces when they heard the words. Such things are usually only raised when the retainers from other places show their loyalty at the end of the year.Now that the sister-in-law clearly wants them to do this, it must be that the eldest son of the emperor is in a bad situation, or the Fang family has decided to tie all the honor and disgrace to the eldest son of the emperor.Even if the girl's whereabouts are still unknown in the future, no matter how many women the emperor marries and how many children he has, they will only be loyal to the eldest son of the emperor.

"Go," Mr. Chu saw the hesitation of the two sons, and ordered in a deep voice, "Our Chu family will never be ungrateful, the emperor will marry the third princess Tie Le in eight days, join in the fun, don't let the eldest son Got left out."

So that's the case, no wonder my sister-in-law insisted that they arrive in eight days.

"Yes, Dad. We will definitely arrive in Kyoto on time!"

The second child of Chu and the third child of Chu knelt on one knee again, just like when they received the military order.In the end, they looked at the houses on the shore with some reluctance, where their mother, wife and children lived.

"Go ahead, there will be more days to be together in the future." Mr. Chu was sore in his heart, but a good man is the most taboo about the love of his children, and the most important thing he should have is to have ambitions everywhere!
The Chu brothers who had just landed for a quarter of an hour turned around and boarded the boat again, and soon seven or eight large ships set sail for Kyoto again.

Cheng Dayou and Fang Fu had just vomited and were about to get up and go ashore when they suddenly felt that the boat was starting to move again, so they hurriedly sent someone to ask them, but when they heard that they were going to the capital soon, and they heard that they were going to make a contribution to their master, they were almost healed immediately .Kyoto, it's been half a year since I left, and I'm finally going back...

Grandpa Chu and Fang Gui watched the fleet travel far away, and were a little worried that the treasures collected by the fleet would not be enough, and that it would embarrass the eldest son of the emperor.It never occurred to them that their worries were superfluous. This gift actually caused quite a stir in the capital, so many years later, people still talked about it.Of course, these are things for later.

Kyoto, as the capital of Donghao.The life of the people has always been very comfortable, even the vendors selling snacks on the street are a little more relaxed than other places, let alone those idlers who take birdcages and drinking tea as a serious matter all day long.

These days, the hottest topic in restaurants and teahouses is the third princess Tie Le who is about to enter Beijing. Some people say that this princess looks like a fairy, and some say that this princess is good at confusing people and is the reincarnation of a vixen.Some people also said that if she is a princess, she must not be liked by the King of Khan. After all, Dong Hao was severely blackmailed, and everyone from the civil and military officials to the common people was unhappy, and whoever married was doomed to be unwelcome.

Of course, some people also secretly mentioned that the emperor is not a person in love, and previously said that he would only marry the queen, and even dismissed the elders' memorial to choose a concubine because of this, but now...

Man, he is still lustful, a hero can never pass the beauty test...

People in the capital were drinking tea and chatting gossip, not knowing that the third princess of Tie Le was not at all in line with the domineering and fairy-like appearance they had imagined.

Since setting off from the border town that day, the third princess of Tie Le had been pitifully hiding in the carriage and had never come out.

I don't know whether Tie Le is really poor to the extreme, or King Khan hates this girl too much. The whole sending team, except for two maids and two boxes of clothes, does not even have a guard.It was so shabby that even the Minister of Rites, Sun Shilang, and all the soldiers couldn't stand it.

For three meals a week, two Tie Le maids come in and out to serve them. If the dishes are not good, or if there is a neglect, I have never seen the princess protesting. It is really low-key and humble to make Sun Lang feel wronged for her, so naturally subconsciously. Just two more points of care, which actually flattered the two Tiele maids.

Riding on his horse, Sun Shilang occasionally looked at the large black lacquered flat-topped carriage in front of the team, and his doubts deepened.Originally, Princess Tiele married two Han female servants, but they were taken care of separately on the first day.The reason given by the emperor's personal guards was that they had suffered a lot for Donghao people and living in Tie Le, so they naturally wanted more preferential treatment.

But he still felt weird no matter what he thought, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

Needless to say, like many times before, he only took a few more glances, and it was as if countless ice arrows were shot around him.Especially the few soldiers on horseback guarding around the carriage, wishing they could smash him into a sieve with their eyes.

After all, he wasn't too stupid. He honestly closed his eyes and ordered loudly, "Hurry up, hurry back to Kyoto earlier while the weather is not hot."

"Yes, my lord."

Everyone agreed, and shook off the whips in their hands one after another...

On this day, seeing that there were still thirty miles away from the capital, it was already getting late, and the welcoming team lived in the small town, and Sun Shilang rushed to send someone back to the city to deliver the letter.No matter how sloppy the alliance is, Dong Hao doesn't care about Princess Tie Le any more, but when an emperor gets married, there are still proper etiquettes.

In the middle of the night, the gate of Kyoto opened quietly, and dozens of fast horses rushed out like the wind, rushing to the small town where the wedding party stayed.The captain in charge of the guard heard the sound of horseshoes from a distance, and woke up instantly. He thought that he was going to the house soon, so he could sleep in peace, but he didn't expect that there would be people talking at night.

He yelled at his soldiers to take up their weapons to defend, even Sun Shilang put on his clothes and stood on the second floor of the inn to ask, "What happened? But someone from the palace came to deliver a letter?"

The lieutenant didn't wait for a response, the cavalry had already approached, and a golden token was thrown out.The cavalry passed in front of the stunned captain, and went directly into the most exquisite small courtyard in the inn.

Yun Ying was guarding the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw someone coming, she asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

Feng Jiu gestured first, and replied, "It's the master."

Yun Ying immediately opened the door, and the red lantern under the eaves of the corridor reflected Gong Zhiming's sharp-edged face, and the anxiety and expectation in his expression couldn't be concealed no matter what.

"She fell asleep?"

The original mellow voice has become hoarse due to excessive anxiety, "Did you have a hard time on the road?"

"Going back to the Lord, I am tired on the road, and the girl has already fallen asleep."

"Shut up, I just look at her." Gong Zhiming took off his cloak, took off the saber at his waist, and walked up the steps slowly.

Yunya was guarding the door, and when she saw Gong Zhiming, she knelt down and saluted excitedly.

"Forget it, thank you for your hard work." Gong Zhiming lightly raised his hand, his eyes still staring at the dark room without moving, and naturally he didn't see the strangeness flashing in Yunya's eyes.

"The master lightly lifts the maidservant to light the lamp."
