good meal

Chapter 309
Ding Lan's interest was aroused, and she looked at Ding Xiang without blinking.

Ding Xiang thought it over and said: "It's not as heavenly as the rumors say, but it's not as good as the princess."

With such a comparison, Ding Lan couldn't help but blame: "Isn't it the same as if you didn't say it?"

After all, the appearance of her princess is well-known throughout the capital, so Ding Landa expected this from the beginning.

Ding Xiang said helplessly: "That's the empress and concubine, how can I say more."

Ding Lan understood, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

After another half an hour, Chu Liangrao woke up, Ding Lan went to communicate with Ding Er, and Ding Er rushed over.After freshening up, Chu Liangrao regained some energy, but there was still a lazy charm on her body.

Consciously lowering his head and saluting, Ding Er said: "Princess, I have been at the mansion for a while, but it's not a problem to idle around every day. Just tell me if you have anything to send."

Sipping his saliva to moisten his lips, Chu Liangrao said, "Isn't it good to be idle?"

"Little ones are born to work hard, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't do anything for a day." Ding Er said truthfully, "The princess should find some work for the young ones."

Chu Liangrao thought for a while, now that it's the end of the year, it's not a problem for him to keep Ding Er here, and she can control the affairs of the house, so it's time to return this help.

With certainty in mind, Chu Liangrao said: "You are right, but you have also seen that there is really nothing for you to do these days, how about it, maybe father has something to do for you, you might as well go back Right?" As she spoke, she added, "I'm not driving you away, but I just think you've been here for a while, so it's time to go back."

Ding Er didn't understand her good intentions, but he still couldn't help feeling disappointed, but he cleverly thought of an excuse, and said: "Princess, the young one was ordered by the prince to help the princess, and now the prince confiscated it." Returning to Chengming, I dare not act arbitrarily."

After speaking, Ding Er felt that he was really too witty.

Chu Liangrao thought about it, and said, "What you said makes sense, so how about it, you will go there tomorrow and ask your father about the next arrangement. Whether you want to stay or not, it depends on what your father thinks."

Dazed for a moment, Ding Er responded politely, and then backed away.

Seeing his appearance, Chu Liangrao, who found something strange, asked, "What's wrong with Ding Er today? He looks sullen, but you maids are bullying again?"

Hearing this, Ding Xiang quickly argued: "Master, this servant has been wronged."

"Yes, yes." Ding Lan nodded and said, "I also feel that something is wrong with Ding Er today. I just discussed with Ding Xiang just now. The servant is thinking that maybe Ding Er is really idle and has nothing to do. That's why it happened." .”

Although these words sounded unreliable, but Chu Liangrao knew that a person who was used to being busy suddenly felt idle, so he didn't think about it any further.

At this time, Mother Du had also finished counting, and she brought the list to Chu Liangrao to report: "In addition to the princess's salary for the previous season, the old lady also sent all the records of the princess in the mansion in the past. , not only that, but there are also more dry goods than in the past."

"Really?" Chu Liangrao took the list and looked at it roughly, feeling very emotional in his heart.In other people's homes, married daughters are all splashed water. No matter how prominent the natal family is, they will not do this, but the old lady still cares for her meticulously, which is really touching.

But such a move is unreasonable after all. If someone with a heart is allowed to use it as an excuse, I am afraid that the old lady's family will not be strictly controlled.But the things have already been delivered, and sending them back will inevitably be a shame to the old lady. Thinking, Chu Liangrao sent a letter to Mama Du and said: "Ding Er happened to be going back to the house tomorrow, so let him send this letter." Hand the letter to the old lady, and tell him to remember to ask the old lady to open it herself, and not to pass it through the hands of another person."

Madam Du accepted the letter solemnly, and handed the letter to Ding Er herself. Before leaving, she took a special look at Ding Er, turned around, and she shook her head and muttered, "Why doesn't this child look quite right today?"

Ding Er just received the letter and couldn't help but black line, why is his best at hiding emotions out of order today?Raising his hands and rubbing his face, Ding Er ran into the room, winked at the palm-sized round mirror, and tried his best to put on a smiling face.

It was not difficult to see that this smile looked a little more fake than his usual small face, which made him even more depressed.

After tossing and turning all night, and finally looking forward to the first sound of the morning drum, Ding Er suddenly stood up from the bed and went to say goodbye to Chu Liangrao.Chu Liangrao, who was dressing up, saw that he came so early, so he asked someone to bring him some hot buns for breakfast, so as not to starve.

The job of delivering the buns naturally fell on Zhu'er's head. She took the buns and handed them to Ding Er with both hands, then let out a cold snort from the tip of her nose, and went back to the kitchen to work.

Zhu'er's narrow-minded appearance made Ding Er feel relieved, he wolfed down his breakfast, and he went out and went straight to the palace.He knew that Chu Chaoyang was probably still in court at this time, but he still had Chu Liangrao's handwritten letter to hand over to the old lady, so he didn't intend to wait outside the palace gate.

Fortunately, the old lady was getting old and her sleep was light, so Ding Er came early and didn't bother her.

Knowing that Chu Liangrao had sent him a letter, the old lady naturally thought that this should be a letter thanking her. Thinking about it, a smile appeared on her face, and a few new wrinkles were deepened because of this smile. .

In fact, she will take good care of Chu Liangrao, besides family affection, she still has other thoughts in it.

Now the concubine she showed to Chu Chaoyang is basically set, except for the second lady of the Wen family and the eldest daughter of the Nie family. Although they are all concubines, the old lady has already made up her mind. Miss gave birth to the eldest son, so the position of side concubine is undoubtedly hers. As for the daughters of the Nie family who are not very wealthy, no matter how many children she has, she can only be a concubine.

Seeing that everything was ready, Chu Chaoyang changed his mind temporarily, saying that he had to wait for Chu Liangrao to give birth before mentioning the matter of taking a concubine.The old lady had no choice but to obey him. At the same time, she also listened to Qiu's mother's persuasion, and treated Chu Liangrao very well in this way, but she was worried that when Chu Chaoyang nodded, Chu Liangrao would say no.

As a mother, she knows her son best, and she can't bear to spoil her daughter.If Chu Liangrao frowned, he might have changed his mind.

Therefore, the old madam followed the principle of being short-handed and soft-handed, and sent Chu Liangrao a lot of things to warm up in advance.
