Crazy! Crazy batch of chief ministers reduced to subordinates

Chapter 56 I want to get engaged

Xiao Yi angrily said, "What more evidence do you need? After only one or two glasses of wine, I can't control my thoughts. I can endure Yan Mo's matter, but I must investigate this matter to the end and never let it go!"

Lang Zhuo smiled lightly: "Those girls who served the prince died of shame and anger. Was it the prince or those girls who were harmed?"

"Nowadays, everyone thinks that the prince and the girls had sex after drinking. The prince conducted an investigation with great fanfare and found out the problem. What if the problem cannot be found? The prince has become a topic of conversation for others after dinner. Do you still need to publicize it with great fanfare? Have you been framed?"

"No one cares whether the prince has been framed. If he is not framed, others will just think that the prince is a loose man. If it is proved that the prince has been framed, it also proves that the prince is stupid. The noble prince can also be teased like this! Whether to investigate or not, It’s not good for the prince.”

Xiao Yi finally corrected his expression, listened to Lang Zhuo's words for a while, and thought about it carefully in his heart.

Lang Zhuo continued: "The prince is spending his time on these things. It is better to take advantage of the country's difficulties to do something to win the hearts of the people, so that he can hope to be crown prince."

Xiao Yi immediately said: "Please give me some advice!"

Lang Zhuo smiled: "Instead of leaving the raw silk and cotton in the warehouse to get moldy, it would be better to give it to the suffering people. Everyone knows that the prince spent a lot of money to purchase this batch of cotton and raw silk. Naturally, it will be more I am grateful for your kindness.”

"Then I will lose all my money!" Xiao Yi sat up straight, his eyes widened, waiting for Lang Zhuo to make it clear.

Lang Zhuo raised the tea that was boiling on the fire to one side and said, "'Heaven will give great responsibilities to people.' Could it be that the prince can't even part with this little money?"

Xiao Yi choked and was speechless.

Zhao Shu tugged on Xiao Yi's sleeve, "Sir Lang is a man of great talent and what he said makes sense. He will not harm my brother. It's better for my brother to just listen to your words. Winning the hearts of the people is the most important thing."

Xiao Yi was at a loss, but he also knew that his reputation was the most important, so he had no choice but to hand over to Lang Zhuo, "Thank you for your advice!"

Lang Zhuo smiled and said, "It is my honor that Your Majesty is willing to listen to me."

After finishing the refreshments on the table, Lang Zhuo asked Ofeng to bring some more refreshments, but it was Qingyang who came in. He looked suspicious and asked, "Where is Ofeng?"

Qingyang forced a smile and said, "To tell you what to do, O Feng sent ginseng to Miss Xu Er, and asked Miss Xu to prepare some tonics and make a medicinal meal for you."

Lang Zhuo's expression was calm and he didn't think there was anything wrong, but he couldn't help but glance at Zhao Shu.

His body was not suitable for any tonics, and he probably guessed the reason why Ao Feng sent ginseng to Xu Beisheng. However, King Leping was present and it was difficult to transfer the things he sent to others, so Qingyang asked Xu Beisheng to help her prepare the tonics.

Xiao Yi chuckled when he heard this, "Ginseng is a great tonic. If you mix it with other tonics, Mr. Lang must be careful of getting too angry."

Lang Zhuo smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "I heard that after Mr. Lang was assassinated, Miss Xu Er has been taking care of his body. Miss Xu Er should know what kind of medicine to use."

As long as he thought of Xu Beisheng, his heart would always feel warm, but it was different here in Lang Zhuo. He couldn't help but think of Beisheng's embarrassed appearance on the long street that day, and his heart sank for a moment.

Zhao smiled carelessly, as if he had remembered something, stood up and said happily: "When An Guogong and my father return to Beijing, Beisheng and I will be engaged. At that time, please invite the prince and Mr. Lang to come to my Gaoyang Marquis Mansion to participate. Beisheng and I’s engagement banquet.”

"boom!"

Qingyang's hand slipped, and the tray holding the refreshments fell to the ground, and the snacks rolled all over the floor.

Lang Zhuo paused when he was about to lift the teapot and looked up at Qingyang: "What are you doing so rashly?"

"My hands slipped for a moment, so I'll bring you some snacks again!" Qingyang knelt down on the ground and picked up all the snacks that had fallen down, and ran out in a hurry.

The three people in the room seemed not to be disturbed by Qingyang. Xiao Yi hooked Zhao Shu's shoulder and said, "When did your two families agree on something, why didn't I know about it at all?" Zhao Shu looked shy and lowered his eyes and said: "I proposed to Beisheng verbally before the disaster relief. During the disaster relief, my father and An Guogong exchanged engagements. That day I returned to Beijing and met Beisheng. She said that we would officially get engaged when An Guogong returned to the court."

Xiao Yi frowned, with a sly smile on his face, "Our little Marquis is just silent, and he is a blockbuster! I don't see you paying much attention to these things in the past, but why do you become a different person when you are in front of Miss Xu Er? Are you getting engaged so soon?"

Zhao Shu glanced at the silent Lang Zhuo calmly, and said with a smile: "Beisheng is an excellent woman. If I don't hold on tight, I'm afraid she will be snatched away by others."

Xiao Yi patted him on the shoulder: "The young Marquis has made his mark!"

Lang Zhuo took a sip of tea and suddenly frowned and spat it out. He picked up the tea cup and walked to the door and poured the tea in the cup into the courtyard. He turned around and said, "This tea is overcooked and too bitter."

Xiao Yi took a sip and said, "Well, it's a bit bitter, but I like strong tea and think it's okay. It seems that Mr. Lang likes to drink light tea."

Lang Zhuo sat down again, bowed and opened the door of the tea cabinet, took out a cloth bag and placed it on the tea table.

Zhao Shu couldn't help but tighten his expression. Lang Zhuo opened the cloth bag and took out a white candy and threw it into his mouth. He said, "This is the milk candy that Miss Xu Er gave to me. It is said to be made of mare's milk. It’s very strange, you two should try it.”

Xiao Yi pursed his lips and dared not speak. He knew that Zhao Shu made horse milk candy for Miss Xu Er. He saw him squatting under the mare's belly and grabbing the foal's milk, and he even laughed at him for it.

But seeing the bag of horse milk candy in Lang Zhuo's hand, Zhao Shu couldn't laugh, and Xiao Yi couldn't laugh either. He patted Zhao Shu's back comfortingly.

Xiao Yi picked up the tea cup and took a sip of strong tea, and said, "I like bitter things but not sweet ones."

Zhao Shu said bluntly: "This is the candy I gave to Beisheng on the day I left Beijing. I didn't expect that she actually gave it to the adults."

Lang Zhuo said calmly: "Beisheng said she doesn't like sweets, so when I saw that I liked them, I gave them to me."

Zhao Shu smiled bitterly in his heart. Beisheng probably didn't know how difficult it was to make this toffee, so he just gave it away.

Qingyang brought the pastries again. Xiao Yi felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he stood up and said, "I and the young Marquis still have something to do, so I won't disturb Mr. Lang to recover from his injuries. I'll take my leave."

"Then I won't stay any longer."

Lang Zhuo smiled and sent them out of the house, watched them get on the carriage and leave before turning back inside.

Qingyang followed beside him and murmured: "King Leping is a lustful and shameless man who wants to be the crown prince. Is there no one left in Dajing?"

Lang Zhuo smiled and dusted off the dust on his robes, and said, "King Leping is frivolous and has no self-respect, is shameless and has no self-respect, makes mistakes without self-reflection, and is lustful... but he is aware of his lust."

Qingyang crossed his arms and said angrily: "A person like him still blames others for harming him. If the villain has the ability of the second girl, he will lie to him again and again, and it is best to lose everything!"

Lang Zhuo said leisurely: "Miss Xu Er's skills are simple, nothing more than low-class, but her courage is unparalleled. You and Offeng combined are not as big as her alone."

Qingyang thought that Mr. Lang would be angry when he heard the news that Miss Xu Er and Zhao Shu were engaged, but he was unexpectedly indifferent.

He chuckled: "That's natural."

Lang Zhuo said: "Ignore them, how is the arrangement with the prince?"

Qingyang said: "Master Yun has made arrangements with Duke An. Everything is in order. He will return to Beijing soon."

The master and servant were walking in while talking, and Aofeng came in with a bulging bag in his arms and chewing something in his mouth.
