Prime Minister Chasing Her Husband

The wedding banquet in Xie's mansion was lively, dozens of tables filled the front and back yards.The main chef alone hired three from the Zhuangyuan Building, all kinds of ingredients were bought the freshest, and even the seafood was shipped overnight from the east.There was a staggering toast at the dining table, Tao Xianzhi and Wang Bowen held the wine plates in their hands, and toasted after the two newcomers.

Naturally, the table that Jing Wenhao was at was the one who left first.Li Xi is pregnant and can't drink alcohol. What Jing Wenhao drank was the sweet soup that Jing Wenhao asked to pack in a buckskin bag.There was no one sitting at this table, except for the two, only Jing Wenzhao and Tao Xiang sat. After all, Li Zhiyuan is the only one who can eat at the same table with the empress and eat deliciously.

Jing Wenhao congratulated Xie Xuan again, and teased him: "I see, you are the number one scholar, and you are not so high-spirited. You are a courtier, so people are very disappointed."

"The emperor killed the minister, and the minister punished himself, punished himself." Xie Xuan was in high spirits, and he drank a glass of wine as soon as he raised his head.

Li Xi felt sorry for Li Zhiyuan, so he pulled the emperor's sleeve to signal him not to let Xie Xuan drink too much, Jing Wenhao stopped Xie Xuan who was about to drink as a fine, and asked Tao Xianzhi who was following behind. "The three of you had a great get-together today. The No. [-] scholar got married, and the No. [-] came to accompany you. You looked harmonious and harmonious. I am very happy. But Xianzhi, this Xie Xuan has already married, and Wang Bowen is said to have found a matchmaker. It’s you who is his childhood sweetheart, but you, can you tell me if you have someone in mind? If so, tell me, and today, right in front of Prime Minister Tao, I will marry you two, a happy couple.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind words. I dare not trouble your Majesty with such light words. I can handle such trivial matters by myself." Tao Xianzhi was inexplicably pointed out. Naturally, he did not dare to ask the emperor to marry him, but he was inexplicably flustered and bowed his head. Luckily, the surrounding lanterns are all red, so that his flushed cheeks are not too obvious.

"Xianzhi said that means he has a crush. Hahahaha, Mr. Tao is blessed. It seems that I will have two more banquets this year."

"If there is such a day, the old minister will definitely enter the palace and respectfully invite the emperor to drive." Tao Xiang took the words and laughed.

There were still many tables left, and the group went to the next table after saying these few words.It's just that not long after they left, the empress set off to leave. Xie Xuan saw that the dishes on the table hadn't been touched much, so he thought it was because the empress was pregnant, so it was not easy to eat in this open-air place.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Zhiyuan was really drunk and a little drunk, Xie Xuan carried him into the room, undressed him, washed him up, wrapped him tightly with a cup, and went out by himself.Just now, during the gap, Lu Tan handed him a note, saying that he was about to meet tonight.

The place where we met was Xie's study.

"Brother Lu, what's the important thing today." Xie Xuan asked someone to make a pot of strong tea. After all, after drinking all night, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"What else can I do? I'm happy for you. To be honest, I didn't believe that you really fell in love with him until I saw the way you looked at that child today. After so many years, from the time I knew you The child will follow you, brother and brother all day long, very well-behaved, you have always been good to him, and I only treat him as an elder brother who loves his younger brother, or else I am a elm-headed, love-loving thing, really I can't see it at all." Lu Tan didn't come alone, he brought Liu Feng with him, and when he said this last sentence, his eyes had already looked at the person sitting next to him, as expected, Liu Feng showed no fluctuation on his face, drinking The tea was choked again.Lu Tan hurriedly took the teacup and put it away, and kept patting Liu Feng on the back, whispering to make people more careful.

Xie Xuan looked at the small movements of the two, and felt itchy in his heart. He wanted to go back quickly and touch his child lying on the bed. "In the past, he was indeed protected very well. Let alone Brother Lu, Xiao Yuan didn't notice it. He was startled when I told the truth, and immediately hid back to Li's residence. Who would have thought that he could still protect him today?" entered my house?"

"Forget it, forget it, the two of you are deeply in love with each other, I know. I have brought you here at this time because I have a congratulatory gift for you." Lu Tan smiled and took out an envelope from his bosom, put it on the table, and motioned for Xie Xuan Open.

"Didn't you just give it away? What is so mysterious?" Xie Xuan was very curious, and after opening it, he was stunned.

It was a contract, to be precise, the contract he signed with Lu Tan five years ago.The idea of ​​Kaiming Defang was thought of by Lu Tan. The place was chosen by the two together, and the people were recruited together. Because Lu Tan was already the son of the Ninghou Mansion at that time, it was inconvenient for his subordinates to have such and such business, so he borrowed Xie Xuan. He opened the unique Mingdefang in the name of the first.Although the shop was opened under Xie Xuan's name, he was at best a minority shareholder.It took 30 taels of silver before and after opening the store, and only 1 taels belonged to him Xie Xuan.However, he, the nominal boss, is still very prosperous now, and he just keeps making the store bigger and bigger.

"This, this..." Xie Xuan took out the contract, turned it around and patted it on the table, "Brother Lu, what do you mean?"

Lu Tan got up and went to the table, picked up the contract on the table, and lit it with a red candle. Xie Xuan was surprised and reached out to grab it, but Lu Tan avoided it, and saw the contract turned into ashes.

"Brother Lu, Lu Tan..." Xie Xuan was speechless.

"As you can see, Mingdefang is completely yours now." Lu Tan smiled.

"Lu Tan, Mingdefang is the last one left in the Lu family. I can't take the last one, even if you burn these things. I met brother Lu in the academy eight years ago. At that time, you were still the eldest son. The scenery is boundless, thanks to brother Lu who did not dislike helping me in the academy, and married me to Jinlan. Mingdefang is originally a business that makes money for whoever does it. At that time, there were countless people who wanted to be the son of the prince, but you gave me this opportunity. Who would have believed that a poor boy from the countryside could occupy a place in Beijing and make such a big business. You see, my house was bought with the money earned by Mingdefang. You know the current How much business does Mingde Fang have, even if I only have the 1 taels of shares left, it is enough for me to spend my whole life in Beijing in abundance. My son is so kind, how can I repay my kindness..."

"Xie Xuan!" Lu Tan stopped him, "I am no longer a son, and you have never repaid your kindness. Mingdefang was completed by the two of us. As you said, when you opened it, you only gave 1 Ten thousand taels of silver, but do you know how much gold bars and silver bills you gave when I fled in a hurry? 45 taels, I know there is money for us to mortgage Mingdefang to buy land. When I was with you I made friends because I liked your friendship, and the facts proved that I didn't miss it. It's hard because you can still build Mingdefang after you and I leave, and it's hard because you haven't given up the idea of ​​sending someone to find me in the past few years, and it's even rarer After I left, you still dared to investigate the case of Ninghou, and you even found it on the head of King Yi. It is enough to have a confidant in this life."

"Brother Lu."

"Forget it, Mingdefang should be yours. Everyone in the capital knows about this matter. Besides, I really don't miss Mingdefang now, let alone your Mingdefang. One, I don't pay attention to it."

"Brother Lu is so kind, Xie Xuan has nothing to repay." Xie Xuan lowered his head.

"You've already reported it, so don't talk about it. I said that today is a gift, so let me finish the gift." Lu Tan interrupted Xie Xuan.

"I sent agate and coral from the East China Sea in the afternoon, and just now I sent the contract from Mingde Square, why are there still?" Xie Xuan couldn't laugh or cry.

"The ones in the afternoon are for others to see, the ones just now were given by me, and now my children are giving them to you." Lu Tan glanced at Liu Feng.

"Wanhualou is the place where the boys who come out of Yingwang Posthouse change their masks." Liu Feng only said this.

"Wanhualou?" Xie Xuan had a flash of inspiration, "Is it related to that oiran?"

"Who do you think the oiran is?" Lu Tan aroused Xie Xuan's interest.

"People in southern Xinjiang value earrings. Is she a nobleman?"

"Not only that, she is a princess, the illegitimate daughter of the current King of Southern Xinjiang."
