The eldest young lady of the Du family did not speak, and the other Madams Zhou, Madam Li, and the prefect's wife did not say anything.
Song Qinghuan remained silent, with only a slight smile on her face, making it even harder for people to see what she was thinking.
As soon as the feudal lord's order came down, Xiao Ci made plans to deal with Ruizhou. He sent people to Ruizhou early in the morning to inquire about the situation in Ruizhou.
Although the food that is handed over every year is not enough to fill the gap in Prince Rui's palace, it is actually not that bad in Ruizhou.
When attending the banquet today, these ladies all dressed simply, not to mention that even the place where the wind and dust were washed away was well chosen. Didn't they just deliberately want to cry poverty with Xiao Ci, thinking that this Ruizhou
The government is just like that.
If Xiao Ci was really a person who didn't care about anything and only wanted to eat, drink and have fun, maybe he would have been fooled like this.
But Xiao Ci could grow to such a big size safely in a cannibalistic place like Kyoto, so he was really a loser.
Song Qinghuan knew early on that there were many thorns in Ruizhou. If he wanted to live a happy life with Xiao Ci in Ruizhou, he would have to flatten those thorns.
This time the two parties tested it, and it seemed that the thorny ones in Ruizhou had the upper hand, but Song Qinghuan remained calm, but it was also confusing.
Seeing that the room was silent for a while, the eldest mistress of the Du family smiled, poured tea for Song Qinghuan herself, and followed her wishes: "Ruizhou is a small place. When it comes to specialties,
There are quite a few of them, but they just can't be put on the stage."
Saying this, he also listed a few well-known specialties. Seeing Xiao Jingtong sitting aside obediently, he asked: "What kind of food does the little princess like to eat? I'll ask the chef in the kitchen to fix it soon."
Here are a few."
Xiao Jingtong imitated Song Qinghuan's example, holding the tea bowl without even raising his eyes or saying a word.
Chunlan immediately said with a smile: "What this lady doesn't know is that our princess was born delicate. She has everything she needs for food, clothing, and use. She is not contaminated by outside things."
The smile on the face of the eldest young lady of the Du family suddenly froze there, and she felt embarrassed and embarrassed for a moment.
Mrs. Zhou couldn't bear to look at her anymore and continued: "It's our negligence. The princess is a noble person, so she should be considered delicate."
When Song Qinghuan heard this, he didn't say anything, just lowered his head and sipped his tea.
After such an episode, the ladies were no longer as confident as the first ones, and even when accompanying Xu to talk, they were all cautious.
The private room next door was already full.
In addition to a few wealthy people from Ruizhou and Magistrate Chen, there are also singers who were found from nowhere.
Wearing gauze clothes, she looks coquettish, but it's still a rule. She only plays and sings inside the bead curtain, nothing else.
Xiao Jing was so young that he didn't dare to look at it. He lowered his eyes and only fiddled with the tea bowl in his hand.
Xiao Ci leaned back on his chair and said with a smile, "You guys are really in a good mood."
The one who answered the conversation was the eldest young master of the Du family. He was wearing a green bamboo silk dress, and his belly looked more and more round. His shrewd eyes turned darkly, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are here for a reason, we are just chatting."
I mean, Ruizhou is a small place and cannot compare with Kyoto. If there is anything wrong with you, Your Majesty, I hope you will forgive me."
Xiao Ci laughed, pointed to an outstanding singer, held up the wine cup in his hand to fill it up, and then added a small sip, "Young Master Du is too polite, he said that gold and silver are not as good as mine."
This kennel, this Ruizhou can be considered my king’s home, no matter how small it is, and no matter how unworthy it is, I will never despise it.”
Seeing that the eldest young master of the Du family didn't look good, he smiled and said: "We will all be in the same nest from now on. If there is anything wrong, I hope you can point it out."
The eldest son of the Du family was twitching again and again. Before he could answer the question, Magistrate Chen wiped his sweat and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty is serious. Your Majesty is serious. I really don't dare to take it seriously."
Xiao Ci didn't answer, just laughed, drank the wine in one gulp, and then raised the cup to fill the singer's cup.
Then he said: "Master Chen, I have lived in Kyoto for many years and have not paid much attention to the affairs of Ruizhou. Since I will live in Ruizhou in the future, Master Chen will send the state government's revenue and expenditure and various files when he has time."
Let's go to the palace so that I can have an idea in my mind."
"This..." Magistrate Chen stuttered, then raised his head again and glanced at the eldest son of the Du family. His eyes quickly moved to Mr. Zhou and Mr. Li. Seeing that they were silent, he responded again: "Yes.
, I will send it over tomorrow when I get off the job."
Xiao Ci deserved it and didn't mention it.
After drinking two glasses of wine, several people started chatting with each other, and then the little maid came to serve the food.
Xiao Ci took a quick look and saw that all the little maids were outstanding in appearance. Even though they were well-dressed, they couldn't cover up their amorous feelings.
Xiao Ci smiled in his heart and looked away openly.
When all the dishes were served, only two singers were left to play and sing, and the rest came forward to serve them.
Xiao Jingchuan was very unhappy with this kind of dinner. He frowned for a long time, but he didn't relax.
A singer saw that he was young and thin-skinned, so she served him food more tenderly and delicately, and asked him what he was eating next to his ear.
These girls were fragrant, and their words were fragrant. They blew into Xiao Jingchuan's ears, and his ears turned red just by rubbing them.
Subconsciously, he leaned to the side and frowned, "I'll do it myself. You can go down."
The girl saw that the more he acted like this, the more immobile she became. She moved towards him and said softly: "A slave is someone who serves others. You are welcome, young master. You are of noble status, how can I let you do it yourself?"
A hands-on one."
After saying that, he poured another glass of wine for him, handed it to him and said, "Try it, little master. This is brewed by us Ruizhou people. It doesn't taste too strong. It's just suitable for someone of your age..."
"Get away..." Xiao Jingchuan didn't stop. He raised his hand and pushed the girl away, saying angrily: "You don't understand people, do you? Just go down if I tell you. Why are you hanging around here all the time?"
?"
He is no better than Xiao Ci. Ever since Zhou Nanxu's incident, he has been very disgusted with the unruly behavior of these girls.
Just now, in the face of so many people, he endured it again and again, and said it angrily, but he was so shameless, so he couldn't bear it now.
His anger frightened the few people who were drinking in the room. They suddenly choked and turned their eyes sideways.
The girl was sitting on the embroidered pier. Xiao Jingchuan pushed her and she fell to the ground. She didn't expect that the young man had such a bad temper. He raised his misty eyes and twitched his nose.
, and want to cry.
Xiao Jingchuan couldn't see this disgusting look, so he raised his voice again: "In broad daylight, I don't know what to say, and I don't have any reserve at all. It's shameful...
