"So this is the Marquis of Ningguo's fu, it really lives up to its reputation.”Xiao Chu got down from the carriage and tightened the mink fur cloak on his body. He looked at the four words stone wall that the current emperor had bestowed on the Marquis of Ningguo's estate and praised,""Even though I've been neighbors with the Marquis of Ningguo fu for two years, this is really my first time visiting.”
Because it was already winter, the number of soldiers in front of the Marquis of Ningguo's manor was reduced by half compared to usual. There were only four or five armored soldiers standing guard at the gate.
"Song Qun, go and call the door." Xiao Chu patted the non-existent snowflakes and dust off his cloak.
The soldiers did not stop Song Qun as he walked up the steps. Xie Yu, the Marquis of Ning Country, was a Rank One Military Marquis and had many connections in the court. The soldiers only needed to look at the carriage that Xiao Chu was sitting on. From the way Xiao Chu and Song Qun were dressed, they could tell that they were from prestigious families even if they were not from the imperial court.
After knocking twice on the door, the two vermilion doors of the Marquis of Ningguo fu opened from the inside. Song Qun handed the name card he had prepared beforehand to the gatekeeper and said: "My master wants to meet Mr. Su. Please inform him.”
The gatekeeper looked at Song Qun and then at the gold-plated name card, but he did not open it. "It's freezing outside. Please come in, honored guests."”
After welcoming them to a warm little hall, the gatekeeper took the name card and left.
Xiao Chu sipped on her warm tea and looked around. She nodded to herself,""As expected of the Marquis of Ningguo Manor, even the small hall waiting for the announcement is so spacious and bright. It really fulfilled that sentence. He was a seven-grade official in front of the prime minister's door. When it gets warmer next year, I'll renovate the back three doors of the clinic and build a small hall like this at the side door.”
Song Qun could only smile bitterly when he heard this. This was Xiao Chu's old habit. No matter where he went, he would always compete with the medical center. Last year, after Xiao Chu went to the palace to treat small-flower, he directly asked Song Qun how much it would cost to expand the medical center to the size of a palace! Song Qun looked constipated.
Not long after, the gatekeeper returned with the name card and made an inviting gesture before saying,"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Su has invited you."
Xiao Chu, Song Qun and Xiao Yue followed behind the gatekeeper, passing through the courtyards. After walking for about ten minutes, Xiao Chu followed the gatekeeper into the moon gate in front of the snow hut. The gatekeeper didn't go in. He just bowed to Xiao Chu and the other two at the door and left. As soon as Xiao Chu entered the Moon Gate, she saw Mei Changsu, Xiao Jingrui, and Yan Yujin sitting around a stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting. The tea must have been heated up just now. It must have been heated up for Xiao Chu. Otherwise, it would not have been still steaming.
"The three of you really enjoy it." Xiao Chu joined hands with the three of them and said," It's so cold out here. I lit a pot of charcoal fire, boiled a pot of hot tea, and sat around with my friends. Haha, the three of you are really in a good mood."”
"Brother Xiao." The three of them stood up and cupped their hands.
After the four of them greeted each other, Xiao Chu sat on the only stone bench that was empty.
"The weather is cold. Brother Xiao, have a cup of hot tea to warm your body.”Mei Changsu handed over a teacup filled with tea.
"Thank you." Xiao Chu took it and sucked it dry in one gulp.
After saying some random things, the four of them chatted for a while. Xiao Jingrui's heart was much more lively than Yan Yujin's. Seeing that Xiao Chu and Mei Changsu were not interested in their conversation, he immediately understood. Seeing that the atmosphere wasn't right, she said goodbye and forcefully pulled Yan Yujin away.
After Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin left, Mei Changsu invited Xiao Chu into the house. Mei Changsu's body was indeed much better. After doing it outside for so long, his face was only slightly red. After entering the house, Mei Changsu took off his cloak. Xiao Chu also asked Xiao Yue to take off her cloak. The two of them knelt down facing each other. Fei Liu brought over two fruit platters filled with dried fruits and snacks, as well as a teapot and tea cup, and placed them on the wooden table beside Xiao Chu.
"Brother Su, you should know why I'm here, right?”He was busy performing acupuncture on Ni Huang and had exhausted a lot of his energy. He was a little hungry now, so he picked up a piece of dessert that looked pretty and put it into his mouth. It was a small piece of walnut crisp. It tasted good. After eating one piece, Xiao Chu picked up another piece and put it in her mouth.
"It seems that Brother Xiao already knows about what happened in the palace.”Mei Changsu poured a cup of tea into the teacup. He pretended to be ignorant. Ni Huang had been sent to Huitian Medical Hall as soon as she left the palace. Mei Changsu's informant had already reported this to him.
"I'm afraid Brother Su knew about it earlier than me, right?”Xiao Chu ate another piece of walnut cake, but she still felt that it was not enough.
Mei Changsu could tell that Xiao Chu was a little hungry. He waved his hand to summon Fei Liu and said,""Feiliu, go and tell the auntie in the kitchen to prepare a few dishes.”
"Brother Su, are you hungry?"
"Yes, that's right. I'm hungry."
"Oh." Flying Flow left in a flash.
Xiao Chu cupped her hands and thanked Mei Changsu. Mei Changsu was now living under someone else's roof. All his food and drinks were provided by the Xie family. It was not dinner time, so it was not easy for a guest to ask the host to open fire.
Mei Changsu waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing. "I knew about this earlier than Brother Xiao, but it was already too late. Princess Nihuang had already entered the palace, so it was too late for me to stop her.”
"It seems that Brother Su has already chosen a master. Moreover, I'm afraid that King Jing has accepted Mister Su's loyalty, right? Moreover, in order to make King Jing accept your loyalty, you even submitted a pledge of allegiance!”Xiao Chu smiled faintly and said,"If I'm not wrong, King Qi's posthumous son, Ting Sheng, is your pledge of allegiance!" Ting Sheng should already be in King Jing's mansion.”
Three days ago, Xiao Chu chased Tingsheng out of the sect because he was stupid and did not understand etiquette. On the same day, a wealthy businessman surnamed Xiao adopted Tingsheng. After that, Tingsheng was sent to Mei Zhangsu's Snow Hut and sent to King Jing's mansion two days later.
Mei Changsu was not surprised by Xiao Chu's words. It would be strange if Xiao Chu could not tell.
At this moment, a few servants carried two low tables into the room. The servants of the Xie Residence swiftly placed two corner tables in front of the two of them. Then, a pair of servants came in with exquisite and simple dishes and placed them on the corner tables. Finally, a servant came in with two pots of wine and wine cups. Song Qun placed a basin of charcoal between the two of them.
Xiao Chu and Mei Changsu raised their glasses and drank. "Tingsheng is the posthumous son of King Qi. How can I not save him?" Mei Changsu said.”
"Brother Su, you've misunderstood. What's important isn't Tingsheng. What's important is that this matter allowed me to understand Brother Su's plan.”
"Oh? I'm all ears."
Xiao Chu picked up a piece of meat from an unknown animal and put it into her mouth. He swallowed and said," King Jing is weak. He is over 31 years old and has made many military achievements. However, he is still a county king. In order to let King Jing have a place in the future competition for the throne, Brother Su has also thought of a strategy to deceive the world!”
Mei Changsu's smile remained unchanged. "How do we deceive the heavens?"
Xiao Chu didn't want to hear Mei Changsu's words and continued,""I'm afraid that Prince Yu will appear out of nowhere when the princess is suing Noble Consort Yue and the Crown Prince, right? One was to snatch credit! Secondly, it was probably to transfer the hatred of the Crown Prince and Imperial Consort Yue to His Highness King Jing, right? This third…Brother Su is trying to be a spy.”
