Ning Chen Ling Xiao

The next day, Ling Xiao arranged everything and set off in formal attire. Chu Yifeng brought most of the belongings of Prince Ying's Mansion, and Mrs. Shi also brought Ling Xiao several carts of things and more than ten people. The night before, Ling Xiao let people He loaded all the things into the carriage, and went to the palace with Chu Yifeng the next day to bid farewell to the emperor and empress.

After going to the front and kowtowing to the emperor, the two were led by the female officer to the back. The queen cried for a while holding Chu Yifeng in her arms, exhorted him for a long time, and then said: "Xiao'er is much older than you, you can only hold Chu Yifeng Treat Xiao'er as an elder brother, don't treat him as a courtier, he has always taken care of you since he was a child, you have to know his benefits, ask Ling Xiao more about things in the fief, let him give you advice on everything, do you understand?"

Chu Yifeng nodded: "My son knows."

"Xiao'er..."

Ling Xiao was distracted thinking about the emperor's appearance just now. He didn't know if the emperor was suffering from dreams every day recently, but his complexion was really bad...

"Xiao'er?" the queen asked suspiciously, "but something is wrong?"

Ling Xiao quickly nodded: "It's nothing, it's just a feeling of filial piety when I see my aunt and grandma's kind son."

The queen smiled kindly: "Good boy, your mother left early, and your aunt is just like your mother. Feng'er has been pestering you since she was a child. I don't worry if you take care of him. When I get there, I will always bring letters. What is missing?" If there is anything missing, I have to tell my aunt, I can rest assured that you support each other."

"Yes, just don't worry, Auntie." Ling Xiao agreed with his head bowed.

The people from the brigade were already waiting at the gate of the city, and the queen didn't want to waste much time, so she told Chu Yifeng a few more words before letting them go.

Most of the people going to the northern region this time are female family members, and they have a lot of things. Riding horses is definitely not enough. Ling Xiao simply prepared all the carriages, and he and Chu Yifeng sat in the middle of a large cart. Books were prepared in the cart. Eat something to pass the time.

In the car, Ling Xiao casually flipped through an isolated copy of the former dynasty, while Chu Yifeng peeled the pine nuts carefully, and after peeling, he gave Ling Xiao one, and he ate another one, and Ling Xiao peeled another one, and then he ate it himself a grain of...

"Did you know?" Chu Yifeng rubbed Ling Xiao with his elbow while peeling the pine nuts, "I heard from Luan Xiang yesterday that Xisi Hutong is haunted by ghosts..."

Ling Xiao put down the book, took the pine nut skin off Chu Yifeng's mouth, and smiled: "Do you believe what they say? Here is the pine nut skin...how do you eat it?" Ling Xiao touched Chu Yifeng's mouth to his body Take the fallen pine nut shells and pine nut skins, pat him, and put the debris into the sputum box.

Chu Yifeng smiled naively: "I don't really believe it, but what they said has some clues. There is an old mansion of someone's family over there. Now there are women crying every night in it, and some people have seen people wearing white clothes with loose hair at night. A man and a woman wandered in front of the gate hand in hand, and said that the night owls in the city would also go there at night, hiss... I got goosebumps when I said that."

"They are bored in the mansion all day long, so they pass the time by talking about these things, just believe me." Ling Xiao smiled and rubbed Chu Yifeng's head. It seems that Shi Pei did a good job, the more illusory things are The more interesting it is to pass on, one sentence per person, and it will be lively after adding oil and vinegar.

Ling Xiao smiled and said: "Now there is no need to be afraid, we are getting farther and farther away from Xisi Hutong."

"Yeah." Chu Yifeng opened the curtains to look outside, then turned his head and lowered his head to peel the pine nuts. This time, he didn't eat any more. After peeling one, he rubbed the skin and put it on the small table in the carriage. After a while, he piled up a white and tender one. A pile of small pine nuts, Ling Xiao looked at him to pass the time, smiled and said: "Why don't you eat?"

Chu Yifeng didn't even raise his head, he just smiled: "I've saved too much, I'll give you a big one later..."

Ling Xiao couldn't help laughing, shook his head and leaned against the window to continue reading...

It was extremely boring on the carriage, and the female family members behind could still chat and be female celebrities to pass the time. Chu Yifeng could only peel the pine seeds and melon seeds to waste time. Ling Xiao was afraid that he would be bored, so he went out to ride a horse at the end of the day. It was still a bit cold at night and he was not allowed to go out, but Chu Yifeng was still bored, Ling Xiao couldn't help it, after thinking about it, he ordered someone to bring a chess set.

Chu Yifeng looked at this set of black and white with a bitter face: "Forget it... I'm not very good at this, I always lose."

Ling Xiao smiled and put the chessboard on the small table. This set of chess is a tribute, and the pieces are warm to the touch. Ling Xiao looked at Chu Yifeng and smiled lightly: "Who wants to play Go with you, come, I will teach you..."

Ling Xiao showed Chu Yifeng a few sunspots and a few whites, and slowly said: "Look, this way... if you connect, then the blacks have won. If you look at this again... the whites have won."

Ling Xiao patiently explained for a while, Chu Yifeng immediately understood, his eyes lit up: "This is fun, come on, what is this called?"

"Gobang." Ling Xiao smiled, "Speaking of which, this is older than Go, but the masters don't teach this, come on, it's meaningless not to place some bets, let's do it, one or two silver per game, okay? "

Chu Yifeng nodded and smiled, "Okay, come on..."

The two used hazelnuts as chips, and one hazelnut was worth one tael of silver. At first, Chu Yifeng didn't know much about it, but after losing more than a dozen games in a row, he suddenly understood. Seeing him with bright eyes and flushed cheeks, Xiao Yang couldn't help being distracted, and in the end Chu Yifeng won several games in a row. When the accounts were settled, Chu Yifeng held hazelnuts in his hands and laughed non-stop: "One five ten...twelve, 12 taels, give it to me?"

Ling Xiao smiled and opened the curtains, and asked his soldiers to get the money. His brothers settled the accounts, and Chu Yifeng held 12 taels of silver. If Ling Xiao couldn't get bothered by him, he asked Bi He and the others in the carriage behind to accompany Chu Yifeng in the carriage.

Those who called were all people who Ling Xiao trusted in Shoukanghou's mansion, and they were all innocent and straightforward little girls. These girls knew about Ling Xiao and Chu Yifeng, so naturally they didn't dare to pull out their beards, and only regarded Chu Yifeng as a younger brother. Yes, but they couldn't afford a game of one tael of silver, so they agreed on a game of five copper coins. Even so, Chu Yifeng managed to piece together things all the way to win the game. Ling Xiao changed the silver for him, and Chu Yifeng was fresh. After a while, it was handed over to Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao looked at the two taels of silver and couldn't laugh or cry. It took so much effort to win it.

After more than half a month of playing around, I finally arrived at Hehesha. The Yingwang Mansion has been completely built. Ling Xiao checked it and was finally satisfied. When Chu Yifeng didn't pay attention to clearing the account, the supervisor was a little timid, but it wasn't He made a false report on the accounts, and he also knows that this person is clear on the accounts, but the cost of building this garden is too high, but Ling Xiao still seems to spend no money, and many places are demolished as soon as they are dissatisfied. After repairing it over and over again for the past few months, there is no money to spend. This little official is really afraid that Ling Xiao will not be able to fill in these shortfalls now, so he will have no way to explain to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Ling Xiao flipped through the accounts briefly, and nodded: "Go and get the silver from Qin Long, and take another 100 taels to reward you for your hard work in the past few months."

The little official breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked him quickly, Ling Xiaofeng raised his eyes slightly: "Also, if people ask how much money was spent on the construction of the King's Palace, what would you say?" The little official rolled his eyes, bowed and said: "Except The King of England added another 4000 taels to the money spent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Ling Xiao smiled: "You are smart, go."

Ling Xiao watched Xiaoguan leave with Qin Long, tore the account book from the middle and threw it into the charcoal basin. The flames rolled with the ashes, and it was vaguely visible that 14 taels were written on the last page of the account. The flame danced and burned everything in a short while.

"Why did you do it yourself?!" Ling Xiao walked to the inner courtyard, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Chu Yifeng carrying the cage with the servants. Although he asked Chu Yifeng, Ling Xiao looked at the girls in the room. With a smile: "The lord said that he was tired from sitting in the carriage and wanted to move his muscles and bones. The servant thought it was the same, so he asked the lord to help. These things are heavy, and the lord has helped the servant a lot." She smiled shyly at Chu Yifeng.

Ling Xiao smiled faintly: "The rules in our Royal Palace are getting looser and looser."

The jade hadn't come back yet, when Mother Jiang came in and heard it, she hurried over and scolded: "Where are all the learned rules?! You dare to order the master."

As she said, she repeatedly ordered someone to pull the jade down. Mother Jiang had been bought by Ling Xiao as early as in the palace, and she knew that this girl who didn't like girls who overstepped the bounds, she could make jokes at ordinary times, but she couldn't express affection with Chu Yifeng Come on, one is Ling Xiao's old illness, and he doesn't like to climb up to be a little girl, and the other is that Ling Xiao has always been strict with the people around Chu Yifeng, and this emerald was sent by the queen, and it was remitted to a group of people at once. At the place, Mother Jiang secretly scolded the girl for being restless, and turned around to salute Chu Yifeng Ling Xiao: "It's all because of the lax teaching of the slave."

"It's nothing, I just said something casually." On the first day of arriving at the palace, Ling Xiao didn't want to make a big fuss, and said lightly, "In the future, Mammy should pay more attention to teaching the girls in the mansion. Well, the prince is generous and kind and doesn't care, but if this gets out, the reputation of our mansion will become a joke."

Mother Jiang quickly responded: "Yes."

Not long after everything was cleaned up inside, the girls retreated, and Chu Yifeng came over with a "hehe" and said with a smile, "Isn't it really angry? I just have nothing to do and I'm not tired."

Ling Xiao pulled Chu Yifeng to sit down and said softly: "I don't like to establish rules, but sometimes you are too generous, otherwise my aunt won't trust you. If you do this once or twice, they will make more progress in the future. This is how slaves bully their masters." , you probably know about my house..."

Chu Yifeng naturally knew something about Wei Zhuang and Xia Lan back then, so he nodded, "I know, so you don't like girls who are no older or younger than me."

"It's good to know." Ling Xiao rubbed Chu Yifeng's forehead, "This is still a trivial matter. What if someone expects you to have a good temper and do something more extreme? At that time, I won't feel so bad..."

Chu Yifeng lowered his head and smiled, rubbing his forehead, Ling Xiao smiled: "Okay, I've made up my mind, those who served you before, and Bihe from my house are people I can trust, and they are the ones who serve you, auntie Those who rewarded you...they haven't learned the rules well, and they don't know your preferences, so let them go ahead, how about it?"

Chu Yifeng didn't have any objections to these, and besides, he was also familiar with Ling Xiao's girls along the way. They were all innocent and pure girls, which suited his temper, so he nodded: "Success, I'll listen to you."

Ling Xiao smiled with satisfaction.
