Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

When Kong Qingping heard the voice, he flinched suddenly, and couldn't help but hide behind Xu Chengze.

Xu Chengze was puzzled at first, but when he saw the person coming, his eyes widened.

Not to mention that Kong Qingping and Xu Chengze were surprised, even Yan Chengcai did not expect it.Even though he was unwilling, he still went forward to salute honestly, "This junior has seen Lord Hou."

Luo Mingjun also cupped his hands and saluted, "I have seen Marquis Jiayue."

"You two adults don't need to be too polite."

The person who came was Kong Qingshu, Marquis of Jiayue. He was still wearing a heavy purple official robe, and even though his face was clean and moist, he had an air of majesty without anger.As if he didn't look at anyone, he walked into the room slowly and sat down on a chair casually.

Xu Chengze felt his eyes flash across his face, like a sharp knife flashing a cold light.

He had met Kong Qingshu when he was a child. He was gentle and refined at that time, with a smile on his face. He was definitely full of poetic spirit.At this time, he was already in his forties, his face was thin, and there were fine lines at the corners of his eyes and mouth, but he did not conceal his noble demeanor at all.Kong Qingshu casually glanced around the people present, and finally settled on Yan Chengcai.

"Master Yan, I don't know how the dog offended the lord, and the lord is so cruel?"

"Master Hou's son, when will I..." Yan Chengcai looked at Kong Qingping in disbelief, "He, he is the son of Lord Hou

?,,

He had heard of Kong Qingping a long time ago, the only son of the eldest princess and Consort of Jiayue Kong, the cousin of the emperor Guo Heng, because of his weak health since he was a child, he seldom left the house.Let yourself meet today?Then who is this beauty?

"That's right, this is Quanzi. Qingping, why don't you come to see Mr. Yan?"

Kong Qingping snorted coldly, but he didn't dare not listen to his father's words.He had no choice but to reluctantly walk forward and greet Yan Chengcai, "Kong Qingping has met Mr. Yan."

He said in his heart, hum, I will promise to the emperor as soon as I enter the palace, and I will be the servant of the official department, no, I will be the minister of the official department, and when the time comes, the official will be older than him, let him salute me!

"You don't need to be too polite, we don't know each other anymore."

Yan Chengcai laughed twice, and when he saw Xu Chengze beside him, he felt itchy in his heart, "Master Hou, there was a misunderstanding between the junior and the son, that's why I hurt the son by mistake, please forgive me. Since we met here When we arrive, it is better to meet by chance than to invite each other, so let the younger generation be the host, and treat Lord Hou and the prince to dinner, which is regarded as an apology to the prince."

Kong Qing wrote indifferently, stood up and said: "Don't dare to let Mr. Yan spend money, I will take the dog back and teach him well. I also ask Mr. Yan to be merciful when he sees the dog in the future. After all, this Marquis only has such a child. He If there is a mistake, I can't explain it to the old concubine and the emperor, and I'm sorry for the princess Niang who he left early."

After finishing speaking, he shouted in a low voice: "Qingping, why don't you come with me?"

Luo Mingjun looked at Yan Chengcai, then at Kong Qingshu, clasped his fists and said, "Master Yan, the two of you have reconciled?" .

Kong Qingshu also laughed at his pedantry, but liked his defying the powerful.

"That's right. It's just a misunderstanding between my son and Mr. Yan. For the damaged tables, chairs and benches here, Mr. Yan and I will each pay half of the silver as compensation for the store."

Kong Qingshu glanced at Yan Chengcai, "Master Yan, do you agree or not?"

Yan Chengcai didn't pay much attention to such a small amount of money. He wanted to know the names of the people around Kong Qingping, so he quickly smiled and said, "What is Hou Ye talking about? How can I let Hou Ye spend money?"

He turned his head and ordered, "Yan Wang, send 100 taels of silver to the shop owner later."

As soon as Qu Le saw Kong Qingshu coming, he knew that the fight was over, and he had asked the chefs to withdraw, and he was standing by the side. Hearing Yan Chengcai's words, he quickly said, "It's no trouble, my lord."

He thought in his heart, it would be best if you don't come in the future.

He had heard that the new governor was upright and honest, and wanted to give it a try to see if reporting to the official would be useful, but unexpectedly he came in person.It seems that the people in the capital are blessed.

Kong Qingshu took two steps, stopped again, turned his head and said, "Master Luo Mingjun, right? Well, you are not bad. Can you come to the Houfu for a while?"

Syria? "

Luo Mingjun opened his mouth wide, and pointed at himself in disbelief, "Hou, Lord Hou, do you mean to let the next official go to your house?"

Kong Qingshu nodded with a smile, "That's right. Can Master Luo do you a favor?"

"Of course, of course. The officer is flattered."

Fortunately, he has a black face, and he can't see his blushing.But he knew that his face was burning hot.

Kong Qingping glared at Yan Chengcai fiercely, then grabbed Xu Chengze's hand and followed his father.

The Drunken Immortal Building is not far from the Confucian mansion, and Kong Qingshu didn't sit in a sedan chair, so Luo Mingjun naturally didn't dare to sit either.He ordered his followers to go back to the mansion first, and followed Kong Qingshu by himself.

After walking a few steps, Xu Chengze pulled Kong Qingping's hand and stopped.

When he stopped, Kong Qingping naturally also stopped.

He lowered his voice and said: "Brother Kong, I think it's better for us not to go back to your residence. In case we miss the time to return to the palace..." Kong Qingping glanced at his father who was walking in front and talking to Luo Mingjun in a low voice, He whispered: "But, I'm afraid my father won't let him go so easily."

Before he finished speaking, Kong Qingshu called him.

"Qingping, bring your friend to follow."

"say,,

疋.

Kong Qingping and Xu Chengze looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes, so they had no choice but to follow.

Although Xu Chengze was uneasy, his purpose of coming out this time has been achieved, but he was afraid of delaying the time to return to the palace.

The Confucian mansion is not far away, but within half an hour, several people entered the mansion.

Kong Qingshu saw that Kong Qingping and his friend were in a mess, and ordered them to wash and change their clothes.

Kong Qingping was very afraid of his father, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he honestly took Xu Chengze to his house.

He asked Xu Chengze to go to his inner room to wash and change clothes, and he stayed in the outer room, and even asked his personal maid to serve her, but Xu Chengze refused.

Kong Qingping thought, the less people know about Adele's identity, the better, so he agreed to her.

While serving Kong Qingping to change clothes, Hanxiang said: "My lord, who is the young master inside? I have never seen such a handsome man before. Tsk tsk, really, the young master has been compared!"

Kong Qingping glared at her, "A man takes making contributions as his duty, so what looks better?"

Hanxiang sticks out her tongue and laughs.She knew that although Kong Qingping was the only eldest son of the Hou family, he was polite and polite to the servants, and would not get angry because of a word he said.

She said again: "My son, have you never seen this young master before? Which family is he from?"

Kong Qingping said flatly: "Hanxiang, she has a noble status, you and I can't just chat casually. People who have met her today, tell them not to break their mouths."

"n^say"

Oh 〇疋〇

Han Xiang also became serious. Shizi was rarely so strict, but he became more curious about the identity of the person in the room.

When Xu Chengze and Kong Qingping came out, Kong Qingshu and Luo Mingjun were chatting happily.He didn't expect that Luo Mingjun didn't look like a literati, but he spoke elegantly and had a deep heart.

When Kong Qingshu saw Xu Chengze, his eyes lit up. He never thought that Qingping would befriend such an outstanding young man.Whether it is appearance or temperament, they are better than Qingping.

Xu Chengze was wearing a moon-white brocade robe by Kong Qingping, with large peonies embroidered on it.Kong Qingping thought it was too fancy, so he wore it once.Unexpectedly, when Xu Chengze put it on, he looked even more refined.

"Qingping, who is this son?"

Kong Qingping hurriedly said: "Go back to father, this is a friend my son just made, surnamed Ning."

Xu Chengze stepped forward to salute, "Ning Ruoxu has seen Lord Hou."

"Oh? Is your surname Ning?" Kong Qingshu stroked a few strands of his long beard, wondering who in Beijing was surnamed Ning?

Kong Qingping and Kong Qingshu depended on each other for life, so he naturally knew what his father was thinking, so he interjected: "Father, brother Ning is not from the capital, he is from the south."

"Oh?" Kong Qingshu looked at Xu Chengze, always felt that this child was not like a southerner, he was very kind-looking, but he didn't remember where he saw him. "Mr. Ning is from the south? It doesn't sound like the accent."

Xu Chengze said: "Although I grew up in the south, my parents are from the north, so I speak Mandarin."

"I see. Mr. Ning, please sit down."

Xu Chengze thanked him and sat down.

Kong Qingping said: "Father, brother Ning and I haven't eaten much, we are very hungry now, let's have dinner!"

Kong Qingshu first ordered the servants to prepare the meal, and then had a few polite words with Luo Mingjun and Xu Chengze.

"I didn't know that the two of you were coming, so I didn't make much preparations, so I hoped that the two of you, Haihan."

Xu Chengze and Luo Mingjun said together, "Don't dare."

Kong Qingshu glared at Kong Qingping and said, "Qingping, didn't you go to the palace to meet the emperor? Why did you provoke Yan Chengcai and fight?"

Kong Qingping said: "Father, I didn't provoke him, but he provoked us. He was rude to Brother Ning, how can I let him take Brother Ning away?"

Yan Chengcai's reputation was notorious, and Kong Qingshu had heard about it a long time ago, so he glanced at Xu Chengze again, this kid looks too good, Qingping probably didn't lie.But, how did Qingping know him?This child is not like an ordinary person, so you have to ask carefully later.

"Qingping, although Yan Chengcai was wronged, he would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. It's not that we can't afford to provoke a person like him, but it's not for a gentleman to provoke a show."

"Yes, Qingping made a note of it."

Kong Qingshu said to Luo Mingjun: "Master Luo, you must know the name of the grand master when you just came to the capital. Have you ever visited?"

Luo Mingjun smiled wryly, "Of course I have been there. It's just that I really didn't even enter the door of the Yan Mansion."

"Why is this?"

Kong Qingping guessed the reason, and said with a smile: "Master Luo went there empty-handed, right?"

Luo Mingjun said: "The lower officials are not empty-handed, the lower officials bring the souvenirs they brought with them."

"What is it?"

"Taro and peanuts."

1 Ah?Hahaha. ,,

All the people sitting there laughed, they didn't expect this Mr. Luo to be so sincere and lovely.

Luo Mingjun was puzzled by their laughter, touched his nose and said: "The Qingzhou where I took office is rich in peanuts and taro, and they are all given by the common people. Gifts are light and affection is heavy!"

Kong Qingping laughed until tears came down, "Lord Luo, if you replace the peanuts and taro with gold bars and jade, Lord Yan will let you in."

Luo Mingjun's eyes widened, "Where does the lower official have those things? With so much money, the lower official will not be an official anymore. How nice it is to go home and live a carefree life."

Everyone laughed again.

Kong Qingshu sighed: "Master Luo is telling the truth. Being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. It is not easy to be an official, nor can you make a fortune from it. If the emperor didn't come to the door in person, he would beat him to death. , I don’t want to step into the court again! I only have this child, Qingping, and I don’t want him to be a general, as long as he is safe and sound.”

"Master Hou, this statement is wrong."
