good meal

Chapter 136 This is called Meng
As such, Chu Chaoyang simply didn't ask any further questions, and only told Ding Er to obey the princess' orders.

Ding Er complied naturally, and ran away with Chu Liangrao that day.

Chu Liangrao first gave Ding Er some unimportant things to do, and seeing that he had no complaints and a correct attitude, she made her own request.

Ding Er thought about it for a while, and said, "Master, it's not difficult, but I'm afraid it will be troublesome to prevent future troubles." Taking another look at the small bag containing the medicine powder, he continued, "As for the medicine, you don't have to worry about it. gone."

Thinking of Xiaoyue's eyes, Chu Liangrao didn't insist. He put away the powder and said, "My request is to keep him immobilized for a day. Besides, you have to keep this matter a secret."

"This..." Ding Er hesitated for a moment, then said, "The princess once helped the young one, and the small one should keep it a secret for the princess, but Ding Er is after all a person close to the prince, so he has to hide something from the prince. , I'm afraid..."

Chu Liangrao said solemnly: "How can this be called concealment? This is called concealment!"

"Princess, is there... a difference?" Ding Eryi looked like a monk who couldn't figure it out.

"Of course there is a difference, but it's very troublesome to explain. In short, you can't be wrong if you listen to me." Blinking his eyes, Chu Liangrao said innocently, "You don't repay kindness with complaints, do you?"

Facing such a pure and kind Chu Liangrao, Ding Er had black lines on his face, hesitated for a while, and said: "If the prince asks, Ding Er will bear it all."

This was indirectly keeping secrets for Chu Liangrao, and Chu Liangrao did not refuse, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's just the princess, what did Second Young Master Su do that you want to deal with him like this?" Ding Er asked puzzled.

Chu Liangrao said: "It's not what he did, but what he's going to do. I'm just taking precautions." After thinking for a while, she said, "So just let him have a good rest for a day, let's talk about it later. .”

Ding Er agreed and went to prepare himself.

As soon as Chu Liangrao and Ji's day was approaching, Wu and Yun Shanshan from the Yun Manor came to visit, and besides paying respects, they also brought Chu Liangrao's share of this month's checkers.

Chu Liangrao put away the brocade box containing the banknotes, secretly thinking that this time the store has enough money, but the decoration money has to wait.Fortunately, there was no hurry at the other end of the shop, otherwise she would have to sell flowers to make money.

After sitting for half a day, Wu Shi took Yun Shanshan and left.

Chu Liangrao sent Mama Du to take them to the door, and then went into the house to get the banknotes. There was also an account book with the banknotes. The accounts on it were clear and clear at a glance.Chu Liangrao flipped through it for a while and put it aside, counted the banknotes again, leaving a small part for self-defense, she gave the rest to Ding Xiang, and ordered her and Zhou's mother to give it to Zhu Xiucai, and Zhu Xiucai would do everything after that. Scholars call the shots.

It was the first time for Ding Xiang to get so much money, and she was afraid of mistakes, so she felt uneasy about keeping it close to her body, and pressed her hands from time to time, which made Zhou's mother think that she was not feeling well.

As for the only person who knew about Chu Liangrao's business, Ding Xiang kept her mouth shut, so when Mother Zhou asked, she just smiled and didn't say much.In order to go early and return early, the two rode the same horse to Zhu Xiucai's yard as usual.

When Zhu Xiucai saw his daughter coming, he took out the snacks that someone had given him a few days ago and asked her to eat more.

Ding Xiang saw that although father's place is a little small, but fortunately it is easy to take care of, and seeing that all the snacks are exquisite and delicious, he knows that his father's business is indeed doing well.After eating two pieces of snacks, Ding Xiang found an excuse to talk to Zhu Xiucai alone.

Ding Xiang handed over the banknote and said: "Father, these are all hard-earned money of the princess, you must be careful."

Zhu Xiucai saw so much, and said: "It's still the princess's good skills. I thought that the princess wanted me to pay for the shop, but now it seems that I am short-sighted."

Ding Xiang looked proud and said, "The Princess has always been very smart."

Zhu Xiucai collected the money cautiously, and asked Ding Xiang what happened to the palace recently, and Ding Xiang answered in every detail.

Knowing that there is nothing abnormal in the palace except for Princess Gu's health which is up and down, Zhu Xiucai nodded and said, "That's good, that's good."

"Daddy, what happened?" Ding Xiang asked suspiciously.

"Not yet the fifth prince." Zhu Xiucai lowered his voice because of the politics involved, "Some time ago he borrowed the river channel to invite a troupe, but a group of meritorious ministers had to divert to the water channel. Two days later, someone took it out and said it seriously."

Ding Xiang had heard a little about this matter, and said, "What does this matter have to do with the palace?"

"You are in the mansion, so you can't hear the rumors outside. Some people say that the fifth prince has spent a lot of effort to please the Holy One this time, just to ask for grace." His voice was lowered a little, and Zhu Xiucai whispered in Ding Xiang's ear. Said, "This grace seems to be related to the princess."

At this sensitive juncture, Ding Xiang naturally thought of Chu Liangrao's marriage when the princess was mentioned.At this time, when Zhu Xiucai said it, her complexion changed, but she still tried her best to calmly ask: "Is this impossible? Who doesn't know that the fifth prince and the princess have never been very compatible."

"Where there is no wind, there is no wave. Even if it is a rumor, it will not be groundless." Zhu Xiucai said and urged, "You must settle this matter after you go back. Tell her about it, let her be prepared."

Hearing that Ding Xiang didn't stay any longer, after saying goodbye to Zhu Xiucai, she found Zhou's mother to go back home.

Zhou's mother wanted to let the father and daughter stay for a while, but she didn't expect Ding Xiang to get better so soon. Seeing that Ding Xiang's face was not looking well, she asked with concern: "But just now, I felt uncomfortable because I turned upside down. Take a rest, the princess is not in a hurry."

Ding Xiang thanked Zhou's mother for her concern, and said, "Don't worry, mother, Ding Xiang is fine, go home."

Mother Zhou is a straightforward person, so she first thanked Zhu Xiucai for her hospitality, and then went to lead the horse.

Zhu Xiucai watched them leave the alley before going to deal with the business of the store.

Once Ding Xiang returned to the palace, she told Chu Liangrao what she had heard from her father.

Chu Liangrao, who was drinking tea, sprayed unsteadily, and said, "How can such nonsense be trusted?"

Ding Xiang persuaded with his father's words: "Princess, there are no waves without wind, besides, the fifth prince treats you... like..." Biting his lips, Ding Xiang whispered, "It seems to be different from others."

Can there be no waves without wind... Chu Liangrao put down the teacup, thinking, indeed, Meng Muchen showed her kindness to him in front of so many official ladies on the boat, it was inevitable that people would gossip.

But Chu Liangrao didn't believe that he had put so much thought into himself.
