Jing Shao let Duo Fu directly lead people to the tea hall of the Listening Wind Pavilion to help their own Wangfei organize the things on the table, and only then went to the Listening Wind Pavilion.
"I have seen His Highness King Cheng, I have seen Marquis Wen Yuan." Ma Zhuo in the tea hall, not to sit, just stand in order, see two people come, immediately go up to salute.
"Ma Ta-Jen please get up, why not sit down?" Jing Shao on this flower boy impression is not bad, anyway, some performance on the Qionglin Banquet plus was Jing Chen directly to the Ministry of Rites, openly and secretly they are a gang, attitude naturally warmer.
"The king and the marquis have not yet arrived, how can I sit down in private." Ma Zhuo grew a pair of smiling eyes, usually do not smile seems to have three laughs, this smile up, it is particularly pleasing.
"Did Lord Ma come but is there something he wants?" Mu Hanzhang smiled and motioned for him to sit.
"Ah, it is so, today in the south of the city encountered a stall hunter, I saw him in addition to selling some skins, live animals, but also set up a basket of grass, they went to ask, learned that this is the mountain fresh tiger grass, the hunter thought that the tiger is often eaten by the herb to be used in the sale, who knows that the sale of a long time only to get a round of ridicule." Ma Zhuo tone clear, speak to the high and low ups and downs, as if the general storyteller, so that people can not get tired of the emotions, just want to continue to listen.
With this remark, he took out a half-used basket from behind the chair, which was filled with green grass and leaves, evidently confirming what he had just said, and it was at this time that Miaoxi, who was carrying the kettle, came in to renew the tea, and Ma Zhuo seemed a little embarrassed: "Just now it was the girl who poured the tea for me, and, fearing that the girl would laugh at me, I hid the basket behind the chair."
Miaoxi couldn't help but laugh, wanting to take a line, and taking into account the rules that Mu Hanzhang emphasized on weekdays, she busily renewed her tea and ran out with a smile.
Jing Shao did not move and observed every move of Ma Zhuo, as his own princess said, he was able to speak well and was very witty, he took the basket he handed over and looked at it, "Is there any use for this tiger grass?"
"I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and I know that tigers not only eat meat, but also eat a kind of grass, and if you don't eat it for a long time, you will get sick," Ma Zhuo continued to speak slowly, "I heard that you have a tiger in your house, and I sent a tiger to the king and marquis on the way."
Mu Hanzhang picked up a grass and looked at it, this tiger grass he saw in the book, thought it was just a rumor, did not expect really have. Just Ma Zhuo has already said, that hunter when the herb to sell nature can not sell what price, I guess he a few money to buy to, this gift is not worth money, but the expensive in the very heart, and this kind of thing received harmless, do not receive it would be pretentious. This horse detective, really will do people.
"In that case, many thanks to Lord Ma." Mu Hanzhang took the basket in Jing Shao's hand and put it aside.
"Marquis why don't you be polite, these days His Royal Highness Rui Wang is not in the capital, the microconsultant has caused a lot of trouble for the marquis, just a small matter, how can it be worth the marquis' guidance these days?" Ma Zhuo smiled and said
After the three of them chatted for a few moments, Ma Zhuo got up and said it was time to return to the Ministry of Rites. Mu Hanzhang asked him to stay for lunch, but he declined on the grounds that he still had an important official matter to report at lunchtime.
"This Ma Zhuo, really has a few skills." Mu Hanzhang plucked the tiger grass in his hand.
Jing Shao, however, frowned and fell into a deep thought, just now Ma Zhuo in Miao Ruoxi came in that posture, why look familiar?
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Jing Shao didn't say anything, Mu Hanzhang turned his head to ask him.
"I always feel like I've seen this person somewhere before." Jing Shao's face was puzzled, it shouldn't be that he had seen him after being reborn, because he felt that the impression was very vague, and it was only because he felt familiar in that moment just now that he remembered.
Mu Hanyang thought about it and said, "He did not enter the capital before the will test, unless ......" said he lowered his voice and prepared to come to Jing Shao's ear to say.
Jing Shao turned his head, just to meet the lips of his own princess came over, almost touched, so he came closer to kiss directly.
"Bam dang dang!" Miaoxi, who had come in to refill the tea, paused violently, busily stabilizing the teapot in her hands, not daring to utter a single breath as she turned around in a panic and retreated.
"Well ......" Mu Hanzhang busy push away Jing Shao, a handsome face suddenly red through, in broad daylight by the maid to see a positive, in the future let him this face where to put?
"What are you afraid of? I'm not a woman, it won't taint my innocence." Jing Shao naturally knew that his own princess was shy again, and before he could get angry, he wrapped a hand around the person into his arms and bit that reddish ear and said.
Mu Hanzhang glared at him, then couldn't help but laugh again. Following that, he whispered his guess. Since Ma Zhuo was a Zhuo family member and hadn't come to the capital all these years, Jing Shao could only have seen him as a child.
"Childhood ......" Jing Shao thought about it, he was a child are long in the palace, can see the outsiders are not many, and Zhuo family, then only Jing Chen side of that companion readers!
"Companion?" Mu Hanzhang some surprise, look at Ma Zhuo's appearance is not like already twenty-five-six appearance, look just weak crown age, even more than that deep Qin Zhaoran look are young.
The two guessed the identity of Ma Zhuo, but not quite sure, but also can be rashly asked, so they just do not know, leaving Jing Chen back to ask again.
The next day the two of them prepared gifts to go to the Rui Wang House to visit the princess.
Princess Rui did not look well, but she was not bedridden, and greeted them in the main hall with a smile.
"I suffered some wind and cold during the month, and I didn't sleep very well these past few days, that's why I have some chest tightness and shortness of breath, it's not in the way." Princess Rui's voice was a bit weak as she spoke, it seemed that she was really sleep deprived, and there were some green shadows under her eyes.
"Sister-in-law's body is important, if there's anything you need help with in the residence, just have someone go and say so." Mu Hanzhang said in a warm voice, in the past when they were no longer in the mansion, they would also ask Princess Rui to look after the inner house.
Rui Wangfei heard, slowly drank a mouthful of tea and said, "Brother son-in-law's good intentions are appreciated, although I'm not useful, the small things in the house can still cope with it."
Jing Shao sniffed, his face was immediately a bit unsightly, this sister-in-law did not treat him well in her last life, anyway, he did not really care, just now Jun Qing kindly mentioned a sentence, she refuted it in a hurry, it was really some face-slapping.
"I really don't know much about the inner house, since sister-in-law is unharmed, we won't add to the chaos," Mu Hanyang pressed Jing Shao's fists that were about to clench up, smiled and said, "It's getting late, we should go back as well."
As they were talking, a baby's cry came from not far away, a trace of melancholy surfaced on Princess Rui's face, and she got up to send them off, "I should have left you guys to have lunch, it's just that the prince is away and there are a lot of young children in the house."
"Sister-in-law go and take a look, there's no need to send them off." Mu Hanzhang politely said a few words and pulled Jing Shao away from the Rui Wang Mansion.
Out of the Rui Wang Mansion, Jing Shao's fists were still clenched tightly, "Deceiving people too much!"
"I've heard that women who don't have a good month will become bad-tempered, why bother with a woman." Mu Hanzhang shook Jing Shao's hand and persuaded, after all, after Jing Chen ascended to the throne, Rui Wangfei is the Empress of the Palace, even if she speaks harshly, there is no need to offend her for this small matter.
"He usually speaks to me always say half a sentence, although I listen to the diaphragm, but also never with her, but she today is clearly to give you embarrassment ......" Jing Shao said half, was a slender finger blocked the lips.
"Those words of the women in the inner house, why take them seriously." Mu Huan Zhang is not very concerned, since childhood, what difficult words he has not heard, Rui Wangfei actually did not say anything excessive.
Jing Shao one hand pulling the reins, one hand will embrace the person in his arms a little tighter, he suffered what does not matter, but can not see this person suffered half a bit of aggression.
Mu Hanzhang is thinking, view Rui Wangfei this appearance, after a few months after the birth of the mother, must find someone to carefully wait, lest fall what problems.
The whole March was very busy, so the two of them didn't go to the Rui Wang Mansion again.
Turning to the middle of April, Jing Chen finally came back from Jiangnan, from the palace, he first came to the Cheng Wang Mansion.
Jiangnan trip is quite smooth, just talking about the king of Huainan, Jing Chen's face is rare to show a few strange color, pondering for a long time only a sentence "that person's mind is very deep" will not follow.
Jing Shao was very curious, Gu Huaiqing that person wind a burst of rain, he was very curious to know that person encountered deep talk less elder brother is a situation, and would like to ask again, but was Mu Huanzhang quietly kicked, only to turn to ask about Ma Zhuo's matter.
