Chapter 129 Make Me Tea (Zhou Xiaomei and Choi+)

Seeing this, Su Yan, who was entering the door, hurried over: "The Minister of the Ministry of War is here, come to ask Su Peifang and other generals how to file?
"Besides, the lord seems to be suspecting that Su Peifang, Chen Xiu, and the others died of different causes. I heard that Han Dun sent Shen Ruopu, the Minister of Punishments, to ask about it a few days ago."

After Xiao Huai listened, he picked up the apricot yellow paper and wiped his hands, threw it into the leftovers in front of him and said, "Why did you die, isn't it enough to sneak attack on me?"

Su Yan nodded.

Xiao Huai took a sip of tea and held it in his mouth for a while, rinsed his mouth and spat it out, then said, "What did Shen Ruopu say?"

"Han Dun's side didn't matter later, Shen Ruopu probably didn't say anything. The prince didn't tell him here, so it should be." Su Yan said.

Xiao Huai put his hands on the desk, looked out the window, and didn't make a sound.

After a long while, he poured himself another cup of tea, and said, "Go to the Ministry of Officials and hand over a note, saying that Shen Ruopu handled Chen Xiu's dereliction of duty case well."

Su Yan moved his jaw back.

The servant came up again boldly: "Young master, the prince has something to say, it will be the Emperor's Dragon Birthday soon, please ask the young master to pick a few good quality jade articles and send them to the Chengyun Hall for selection as an offering." A birthday gift for the emperor."

Xiao Huai looked at the empty palace, as if he didn't hear it at all.

Hearing this, Su Yan immediately turned around and said, "For such a trivial matter, why don't you go to Qionghuatai to find Liu Ling by yourself? Could it be that the young master has to do it himself?"

The waiter quickly said yes.

When he was about to retreat, Xiao Huai suddenly raised his sleeves and stood up.

"Prepare the horse."

There were more than [-] kinds of jade ornaments sent by Liu Ling, and of course not all of them were extremely expensive.

This guy is used to buying and selling, and his calculations are almost rattling. He originally agreed to only appreciate high-priced jade, but now he even got mid-priced jade.

But I won't talk about him for the sake of not being too much, anyway, she often asks for news, and she is not afraid that he will not be favored in the future.

It's boring to see Pearl standing and waiting here, so I let her go to the back room to rest first, and call her when she leaves later.

Just took the Zunyu cabbage and looked it up in his hand, when he suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from the stairs separated by a wall.

Just as she was wondering who it could be, she saw the sound of footsteps approaching the door. A man in black clothes and a golden crown strode past the door, glanced indifferently at her room from the corner of his eyes, and then went to the attic opposite.

How is it him!

Shen Xi frowned.

But this is someone else's territory, isn't it normal for him to appear here.

She keeps on doing her thing.

Just as he was picking up a pen here, suddenly there was the sound of footsteps. Liu Ling came up to him and said, "Miss Shen, lend me these few pieces of jade on hand."

Shen Xi looked at him: "Your Majesty wants to see jade?"

Liu Ling said: "The prince wants it. Not much to say, please help me put that in."

While talking, he put a half-foot-high glass jade orchid on the table and the jade cabbage in her hand into the bamboo basket, and then motioned for her to help pass the two jade sculptures behind him.

King Yan wants to buy jade?Shen Xi raised his eyebrows.

So King Yan knew that the jade building belonged to his son?

"Miss, should you go too?" Liu Ling walked to the door and turned back to her.

just go.To save him from turning around and running over again.Besides, she was also curious about what other treasures were in that little attic.

Putting a pen here, she hugged Bing Dilian, who respected suet jade, and followed him to the opposite side.

Su Yan stepped forward and opened the door.

I saw that this ten-foot-long room had a clear view, only eight large screens were erected to cover the north, and most of the space in the south was empty, only a large book table was placed under the west wall.

At this moment, the man was sitting on the brocade cushion behind the desk, staring at her.

Shen Xi knelt down beside the table and placed the jade carving in front of him.

Xiao Huai looked at her with lowered eyes, and saw that she had become much more luxurious after seeing her for more than ten days.

Not only did he change from the original clothes made of seventy to eighty percent new ordinary materials to brocade skirts and smoked gauze clothes, but also the fragrance that wafted from his body changed.

Looking carefully, there is even a low-key suet jade bracelet on the wrist.

It's just that the scar on the back of her hand was still faintly visible, but she didn't care about it, and she didn't try to avoid it deliberately.

From the looks of it, it looks like he made a fortune quietly!

After a few glances, he withdrew his gaze and moved over to look at the statue with Tilian in his hand.

Shen Xi took advantage of the opportunity to look at his face. Compared to the last time, he seemed to have lost a little weight. He silently counted the days, and it was only half a month since he was last seen in the small alley. Could it be that he Just came back from Datong?

But even though he was slightly tired, he looked much more relaxed than in the small alley that day.The guess is that Datong's affairs are handled well.

"Which one is the most valuable?"

Just as he was driving around on an errand, he suddenly asked.The slightly hoarse voice was slow and steady, as usual.

She cleared her throat and gave him the emerald orchid in the bamboo basket, and said, "Although this one is not big, it is of good quality, and it is the most affordable one."

Xiao Huai took a look at it, took it to Liu Ling and said, "Wrap it up. Send it to Chengyun Hall."

Shen Xi followed Liu Ling and stood up.

Unexpectedly, he pointed at the fan, but said again: "Make me a cup of tea."

Make tea?Are you mistaken, she is not his maid.

She stood still.

Xiao Huai withdrew his gaze, rested his left elbow on the desk, stroking the spots on his fingers with his right hand, and said in a rambling voice: "The record for Shen Ruopu's credit should have arrived at the Ministry of Officials by now, otherwise, I'll take it Call back?"

Remembering this merit will be of great use in future promotions.Could it be that he can't even earn her a cup of tea?
Shen Xi paused after hearing this.Since it's credit, you didn't say it earlier!

She smiled immediately, and bowed: "Hold on a moment, son!"

Then he walked out quickly and went downstairs.

Xiao Huai glanced at her back, shook off the fan, and raised it up.

After a while, she came up with a tray and presented it in front of him respectfully.Although the face was calm, the smile hidden in his eyes was like a spring breeze, and he couldn't hide it.

Who doesn't want to live a life of pampering?What's more, she still came out of the rich nest of the previous dynasty.

Shen Ruopu is only in his early fifties, and his body is very strong. He still has more than ten years to do in court.

Judging from his current rank of the third rank, if he goes up further, he will be the six ministers from the second rank up, or the six divisions or the cabinet that hold the real power but are concurrently in charge of the lower rank.

The Tuoba people are martial arts, and they have inherent shortcomings in culture and governance. There are many generals in the court, but they are capable ministers.

However, after the state was established, civil servants were needed to govern the country, and there was an urgent shortage of talents in the court.

Therefore, Ji Shihui and his like can get mixed up with a fourth-rank official doctor of the Ministry of Rites just by raising people's fame.

A talent like Han Dun who has received a high-quality education in Zhang's family will be able to give full play to his strengths.

Shen Ruopu is talented, but he is good at reading stereotyped essays. He is a veritable Jinshi. From this point of view, his resume is sufficient.
