Chapter 299 Before trouble
Chapter 299 Before trouble
Pu Fan dreamed that his mother hadn't spoken for a long time, so he quickly called out "Mom..."
The Shangshu's wife immediately came to her senses, forced a smile, and looked at Xiao Shunzi again, "I hope the eunuch can report to His Majesty that my husband is fine."
Xiao Shunzi lowered his eyes and nodded, "Since it's nothing serious, I think the doctor I brought with me can't be used. However, the Minister's wife must persuade the Minister not to lose his manners in front of the emperor due to fatigue. His Majesty is generous and can only sympathize with him a few times."
After saying this, he looked at the Shangshu's wife meaningfully, then left with the two little ones.
The mission was over and he didn't want to stay with the children.
But before they parted, he gave Xiao Yining a serious reminder, "I know Miss Lin has something important to do tomorrow, so I'll give her four words. Don't go too far."
Xiao Yining: ...
"Brother Shunzi conveyed the emperor's intention." Pei Yi said to Xiao Yining as he looked at the carriage going further and further away.
Xiao Yining suddenly felt extremely wronged. Tomorrow's game was not organized by her, she was just there to make up the numbers.
She pouted and said angrily, "Then I won't go tomorrow."
Pei Yi looked at the little kid's angry back, a smile flashed in his eyes.
However, Chen Jiaoyi had been thinking about this plan for a long time, and she felt that the experience would be less enjoyable without one more person. However, little Yining was still coaxed into the carriage by her on the second day.
This person also said confidently, "I will do the job, just rest assured!"
Xiao Yining did not show any support, but just looked at the extra members.
Liu Zhenying glanced at her and said provocatively, "Sister Yining, what are you looking at? Today's matter would not have been possible without me."
Xiao Yining: ...
Soon, Chen Jiaoyi assigned tasks to the four troublemakers.
Liu Zhenying: Spreading the Message
Chen Jiaoyi: Implementer
Xiao Yining: Spectator
Yu Ke: Filling the numbers
With this division of labor, the plan to beat someone up will definitely succeed.
Xiao Yining silently added another member in her heart - Pei Yi: Supervisor.
When she left the house, the fellow villager got into another carriage and followed behind her.
She looked at Chen Jiaoyi who was talking there without any clue and didn't even think of reminding her.
At this time, the only two people in the group who had to work were talking about a big new piece of news - the follow-up of the Minister of Revenue incident in which Xiao Yining participated throughout.
Liu Zhenying said excitedly: "My father came back and said that the Minister of Revenue looked unhappy at the morning court today and wanted to be scolded. He was too embarrassed to say anything to him."
The other three looked at her in confusion, like three curious babies.
She immediately perked up and continued to talk about the big news that only she knew: "The Minister of Revenue vomited blood at the court this morning, but he still insisted on allocating money to the emperor to build up his private treasury. The emperor was so happy that he granted Sister Park a marriage and said that the wedding would be held in the autumn."
Xiao Yining: ..., this Minister of Revenue really tried his best to avoid being replaced.
As for the arranged marriage, little Yining knew about it yesterday. If it weren't for his uncle saying that the arranged marriage would help Pu Fanmeng, the Minister of Revenue wouldn't have fainted from anger and vomited blood.
Chen Jiaoyi, who was standing by, said in disbelief: "Sister Park is only 13 years old. This is too early. Doesn't that mean she can't come to the girls' school?"
Liu Zhenying glanced at her sideways and said indifferently, "Why early? The Minister of Revenue is very happy, and Sister Park must be happy too, otherwise she would have to wait a few more years. She has always been attracted to the son of Marquis Qiyuan, and this can be considered as getting what she wanted."
Although she is only 8 years old, her parents have raised her in a melon field since she was a child, so she is quite sharp-minded.
Then she looked at little Yining meaningfully, "Sister Yining, the Minister of Revenue fell asleep yesterday because he was tired, right?"
Little Yining looked back at her in confusion, "Sister Liu, I'm not talking nonsense. The Shangshu fell asleep right in front of me."
"What a good sister." Liu Zhenying touched her head with satisfaction.
Everyone:...
There are really very few fools among girls who have been in a school for a long time. Even Yu Ke noticed something was wrong and started to act deaf.
Soon, they arrived at their destination - Yuelai Teahouse, which is also a famous storytelling place in Yanjing, where all kinds of melons can be perfectly interpreted.
Liu Zhenying was already familiar with this place. She looked at the sign at the door and said to the other three people, "This morning when my father brought Uncle Lian and Master Lu home, Master Lu said that he had made an appointment with his friends to come here to listen to a story in the afternoon."
Xiao Yining looked at the sun and saw that it was not yet at its zenith, so she said, "Sister Liu, let's have lunch first!"
Chen Jiaoyi immediately grabbed her and said, "Sister Yining, we can't wait until the time comes to do things. We have to deal with it in advance to be sure of nothing goes wrong. I have already sent someone to book a private room. The tea and fruit here are also enough for you to eat."
"I want to eat a big pork elbow." Xiao Yining still has requirements for free food and drink.
Chen Jiaoyi glanced at her speechlessly, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Buy it."
Yuelai Teahouse is worthy of being the No.1 storytelling place in Yanjing. The four little ones felt the lively atmosphere as soon as they entered. The storyteller on the stage told a short story from the previous dynasty with a tap of his folding fan.
This is still the hot period for relics, and storytellers are also keeping up with current affairs.
Liu Zhenying, who was going upstairs, showed a trace of contempt after hearing this. She whispered to her classmates behind her, "My father said that this treasure might be the lair of some corrupt official, but it happened to be discovered by the emperor. Don't tell anyone!"
The three of them nodded numbly. They couldn't say anything, but there was no one else to say it.
The box that Chen Jiaoyi booked was specially prepared for female guests. The passage was on the other side facing the street, and the half-view window opened to the inner hall, so one could have a clear view of the downstairs, which greatly improved the experience of listening to the book without appearing indecent.
As soon as the group of four sat down, the waitress brought the appetizers and a plate of flowers.
Liu Zhenying immediately picked up a flower and told the others about the rules here, "This is for rewarding. One flower represents 5 coins. If the sisters think the storyteller below is good, they can put the flower in the flower basket hanging in front of the window. Then the waiter will come to receive the reward for the storyteller. The rules here do not allow silver to be put in, it is vulgar."
The three people who had never been here nodded in understanding, and then looked down together.
At this time, Pei Yi also entered the teahouse. Looking at the four little girls upstairs, he shook his head helplessly, and found a corner to sit down with A Da.
Seeing this, the unaware Chen Jiaoyi said in surprise, "Why does this person look like my uncle? But my uncle travels in a wheelchair, so it can't be him."
Based on Pei Yi's special impression, the little girl directly denied herself.
A few people glanced at Pei Yi and stopped paying attention, becoming qualified listeners.
They did come early.
Liu Zhenying gave a reward of 100 coins for this.
Chen Jiaoyi and others began to snore.
Little Yining also ate half of the big pork elbow that was forbidden to be eaten at home.
Lu Tingfeng and his friends arrived late.
The two were discovered by Yu Ke, a member of the team who was just there to make up the numbers.
She quickly shook Chen Jiaoyi who had fallen asleep, "Sister Chen, Lu Tingfeng is here."
"Ah, where?"
The other three people hurriedly looked down.
Lu Tingfeng also keenly noticed that the gaze was on him, so he looked up.
As expected, a little kid holding an elbow and with a greasy face from eating came into his sight.
He didn't know whether the kid was staring at him or at the elbow, but he was looking in his direction.
