Flowers are expensive

Chapter 238 Burning the West Courtyard
Chun'er heard the voice, hurriedly got up and walked out of the side hall, went up to salute and said: "The madam took the young lady to the temple to burn incense. I sent someone to tell Lord Zhaoxun earlier. Don't you know?"

Zhao Xun slapped his head suddenly, and suddenly realized: "My confused and confused head! In the morning, I vaguely heard someone come to tell me who was going to leave the house. Who is rushing to consult Que Ling, so they have already left the house."

Chun'er smiled and said, "Your Excellency looks a bit haggard, I'm afraid he's too busy these days and didn't sleep well."

Zhao Xun nodded and said: "That's true! Forget it, I'll go back to sleep first, and send someone to tell me when Que Ling comes back."

"Yes, my lord, please go slowly!"

When Chun'er graciously sent Zhao Xun out of the yard, Butler Zeng ran towards him with a displeased face.When he arrived in front of Zhaoxun, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Master Zhaoxun is here! We have found you!"

"Run so fast, what's the matter?" Zhao Xun asked.

Steward Zeng said solemnly: "A guest came outside and asked to see Princess Xuan! He also claimed to be from the Banna House in Dali. I dare not disturb Mr. Bingcan. I saw you go to Madam's side earlier. Here we come, I came here to report to you."

Zhao Xun was slightly taken aback, pointed to the outside and asked, "Is it outside right now? Who's in Banner's house?"

"The little one asked before, and he said he was Princess Xuan's cousin. The little one wanted to ask for his name again, but he got angry and said why he didn't lead him to see Princess Xuan, but made things difficult for him outside. The wife is not in the mansion right now. , I have no choice but to come to you."

"It's such a coincidence?" Zhao Xun snorted and said with a smile, "Mrs. Pian went out, and he came to the door. Don't tell me that he came here after reading the almanac! Okay, go and meet him, see if he is a classmate." Which son of the Na family!"

Zhao Xun and Butler Zeng went all the way to a waiting room in the front yard.Sure enough, there was a man with an arrogant attitude and the appearance of a rich man in gorgeous clothes.When Zhao Xun walked in, he didn't care much, and asked Steward Zeng in an unhappy tone: "What happened to the mirror stage? Why did you stop me from seeing the mirror stage?"

"I'll see you if you say I'll see you?" Zhao Xun walked up to the man and sat down and said, "This is Jingyou City, not Dali City, and it's not Banna Mansion. Since your princess has married here, then You have to follow the rules here."

The man said disdainfully: "Even if the rules of the sky are broken, I have never seen someone who forbids her family to visit her relatives!"

"Who said that the natal family is not allowed to visit relatives? But I have to find out if you are the natal family of the princess! You just say yes, and there is no proof."

"Go and ask Jingtai to come out and let her recognize her, and see if she will call me cousin!" The man stood up impatiently and looked at Zhao Xundao, "I know you are Zhao Yuanyin's subordinate, but this mansion is really There are no rules at all! The master is not here, and the hostess does not come out to greet the guests, but she calls a servant to come out to talk, what is this? I will not talk nonsense with you, I want to see the mirror! Where is she?"

Zhao Xun smiled lightly and said, "How do you know that the master of this house is not here? We didn't post a notice to tell people outside that my master is not at home!"

The man was taken aback for a moment, and said angrily, "Don't play tricks on me! Where is the mirror stage? You have been delaying so much, could it be that something happened to her?"

"The concubine is intact, not a single strand of hair is missing, so you don't need to be so excited. I haven't asked you what your name is, and what do you do in Dali?"

"Interrogate me?" The man waved his sleeves and snorted, "You are just a doctor in Jingyou City. You don't even have an official position. Why should you interrogate me? Besides, I'm the natal family of your princess, so it's not your turn." Interrogate me, and find a decent one to come out!"

"Okay," Zhao Xun got up and flicked his sleeves and said, "I, a useless doctor, still have a lot of patients to see, so I won't talk nonsense with you, a royal family member. Please wait here slowly, Mr. I will wait until the concubine sees you. Steward Zeng—”

"Yes, the little one is here!" Butler Zeng greeted him hurriedly.

"Don't be negligent, this is a distinguished guest, good tea and wine will be served, and an extra stove will be added in the cold weather, so as not to freeze the honored guest. The doctor in Jingyou City can treat both cats and dogs!"

The man suddenly became a little angry, and wanted to scold Zhaoxun back, but Zhaoxun had already strode out of the hall door and left without looking back.The man pointed to Butler Zeng and asked, "When will you take me to the mirror stage?"

Butler Zeng said with a polite smile: "Please wait a little longer! The princess doesn't pass on the word, and I dare not take you there without authorization!"

"Stop coaxing me! I won't be leaving today if I can't see the mirror stage. Let me tell you, she is the princess of Dali, and your family had better weigh it!"

"Yes yes yes! Please wait a little longer!" After finishing speaking, Butler Zeng exited the hall door, turned around and said to himself, "I'm busy today, why is there someone from Dali all of a sudden? Hmph, wait slowly, it will be strange if you wait!"

He raised his hand and called a servant to tell him: "The one inside is waiting for you with a good face! Cha Guo Zi Tian should be more attentive, if you lose your temper, just let him be, treat him as a special lunatic, don't bother He, do you know?"

The servant nodded and said, "I know, little one!"

"Besides, if he dares to walk out of the entrance of this hall, he should call the guards directly and take it down!" Butler Zeng made a gesture of grabbing the chicken's neck.

"Is this appropriate? In the final analysis, it is also the natal family of the princess."

"You didn't see Master Zhaoxun's expression on him just now, he didn't take him seriously at all! If he dared to break into the mansion, he would be asking for trouble! He didn't even look where this is, and said who he wanted to see Whoever you want to see! Go quickly, come and tell me if you have anything to do."

The servant went to watch outside the hall.Butler Zeng turned around and went to do other things.But just after he walked a few steps, someone came from the west courtyard, saying that the princess wanted to see him.Suspicion arose in his heart, did someone tip off the news?Princess Xuan knew so soon that her natal family was coming to see her?

Butler Zeng didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to the west courtyard.After seeing the mirror stage, he asked respectfully: "The concubine hurriedly called the little one, is there something important?"

Jingtai raised his jaw slightly, and asked in an arrogant tone: "Butler Zeng still thinks I'm a princess? This is really rare! I thought everyone in the whole house thought I was in class, and Jingtai died!"

"How dare you young ones? Just order the princess if you have something to do." Butler Zeng hurriedly agreed.

"Really?" Jingtai glanced at him coldly and said, "There is a saying in the Han people that those who are close to ink are black. It seems that you are somewhat similar to your master surnamed Zhao. You are talking nonsense with your eyes open. Master who doesn't blush at all!"

Steward Zeng was slightly startled, but he continued to deal with it with a smile on his face as before: "Where did the princess come from? You want to blame the little one for the fire last night, and the little one dare not say anything wrong. But if you say you lied to me, the little one will be wronged!"

A Jinyu beside the mirror said with a sneer, "It's too embarrassing to yell and be wronged! Let me ask you, are there people from Dali outside?"

"This..." Butler Zeng was a little embarrassed.

"Don't dare to answer anymore?" Ah Jinyu pressed, "There must be one! Since she came to see my princess, why didn't she let her in? The two of us, the master and the servant, died in this mansion. Is the whole country of Dali dead?"

"Don't dare dare!" Butler Zeng broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly waved his hands, "Why do you think so?"

Jingtai took over the words and said: "Since you dare not, then bring someone to see me, this is what your housekeeper should do!"

"But……"

"But what? Still talking?" Ah Jinyu asked impatiently.

"But the lord has ordered that outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave the West Courtyard, and you are not allowed to come and go as you please..."

"Okay!" Jingtai slammed the table and said angrily, "It's fine if you don't let me see you! When someone comes back and reports my situation to my father one by one, then we'll see if you let me see you! Ah Jin And, fetch a lamp!"

Butler Zeng hurriedly asked, "My Majesty, what do you want to do?"

Jingtai glanced at him contemptuously and said: "What do you care about me? Although I am under house arrest, it is not your turn to take care of me, a slave! Don't you want to burn me to death? It just so happened that Dali came today, so let He looked at what kind of life I was living in Jingyou City! Ah Jinyu, what are you doing in a daze? Get a lamp!"

Ah Jinhe turned around and took the lamp.Butler Zeng was a little anxious, he couldn't persuade Jingtai, but Mrs. You was not at the house, who could she go to?Only Lord Zhaoxun and Lord Bingcan are left.He didn't dare to alarm these two rashly, he could only see the situation first.But at this glance, he saw that he was covered in cold sweat!
I saw Ah Jinyu brought a candlestick.Jingtai snatched the candlestick from her hand, went straight to a curtain, and lit the curtain without saying a word!The curtain was originally a flammable thing, and the flames burst into flames in an instant.Not only Butler Zeng, but also Ah Jinyu was taken aback, asking repeatedly, "Princess, what are you doing?"

Jingtai turned sideways and sneered: "Isn't it cold these two days? Burning a fire to keep warm, isn't it against the rules in the mansion? Anyway, the west wing has been burned, so it's not bad for me!"

Steward Zeng yelled that it was not good, and quickly turned around and shouted: "People outside the door, hurry up and fetch water, hurry up..." But before the word "Go" was finished, the mirror sternly shouted: "Who dares to go? Who dares to bring water?" Try pouring fire on it! If you are not afraid of breaking your arm and dying, just take a step towards me!"

"I'm talking about the princess!" Butler Zeng begged hurriedly, "What's wrong with you, can we talk slowly? Don't use a lamp to stir up trouble everywhere! It wouldn't be worthwhile to set you on fire!"

"Don't act like a loyal minister and slave! Do you still think I'm a princess? Aren't you busy putting up lights and festoons to welcome the new lady? Since it's going to be lively, this princess will make it the most exciting for you! "

"Where are you going, princess?"

With a palm of his hand, the mirror stand was turned away from Butler Zeng who was standing in front of him, and he went upstairs with the candlestick.Butler Zeng was not a martial arts practitioner. He was pushed hard by the mirror and hit the high table next to him. He became dizzy and almost passed out.He struggled to get up, hurried out of the door, and told the servants outside the door: "This princess is really angry! Hurry up and report to Lord Zhaoxun or Lord Bingcan, and follow whoever you meet. Who said, go and go!"

As he ordered, he beckoned to the people to bring water to put out the fire.But the more you click on the mirror table upstairs, the more vigorous you are, and you will click on the books when you see the curtains.Not long after, black smoke billowed from the entire building, and a burning smell drifted everywhere along with the cold wind, causing everyone in the mansion to panic.

Butler Zeng ignored the smoke, ran up to the second floor to dissuade the mirror and said, "My lord, it's a small thing to burn a building down, but it's a big deal to hurt you! You can play with anything, don't play with fire...cough cough Cough... Please do me a favor, just stop playing! If you play any more, this building will really catch fire!"

"If you're afraid of death, get out, whoever listens to your nonsense!" Jingtai suddenly raised his foot and kicked Butler Zeng.Butler Zeng backed back again and again in fright, but still didn't dodge, kicked the mirror platform downstairs, and after a few thuds, he collapsed downstairs.

The servants didn't dare to approach anymore, so they could only move Butler Zeng out first.A team of guards from the mansion arrived quickly, but they dared not forcefully stop her due to the identity of the mirror stage, so they had to put out the fire first.But just as they filled up the water and were about to rush in to put out the fire, Jingtai jumped down from the second floor, threw the lamp in his hand on the ground, and shouted: "Stay there and don't move! Anyone who dares to take a step forward, I will But you are welcome! You are just the guards of the palace, do you dare to do anything to me? I will not kill you if you are rude to me, but if you are rude to me, you will die!"
