extravagant big and square

There is something wrong with the wheat used for brewing, and I thought that I would go north in person after the new year warms up and the ice on the road melts..."

Hearing this, Sima Ji frowned, and interrupted: "You have to go? Can't you let someone else go for you?" "There are many kinds of wheat in the north, which are of good quality and quantity, and the price is cheap. If you can make it with them This transaction is only beneficial and harmless. I also want to inquire more about the ginseng and deer antler market..."

Seeing Tang Huoqi's excited face, he couldn't bear to interrupt her for a moment.Sima Ji was noncommittal, but secretly tightened the hand stove, and asked: "Then what about the second thing?"

"The second thing is nothing, it's just a little trivial...you just took over a house on Xuanwu Street."

"A house?" Xuanwu Street is also one of the four most noisy streets in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is hard to find a place.It sounds a bit interesting to take over a house at once.It's just such a prosperous land, how could anyone be willing to sell it?

"Well, this was discussed a few years ago. It's just that the family has made great contributions to the country, so they didn't urge them to vacate the house. No, the old man of the family passed away recently, so the house was vacated .”

After hearing this, Sima Ji felt a bad premonition faintly rising in her heart, but she still asked the question she was most concerned about: "What is this family's last name?"

The stove in the room was not burning hot enough, and after sitting and talking for a while, my body was really cold, and I was too busy to come to see her, so I didn't come over with the stove in hand.Tang Huoqi kept holding Sima Ji's hand, yearning for that warmth.Hearing Sima Ji's question suddenly, Tang Huoqi was a little puzzled why she was so interested in this matter, but he replied truthfully: "It's the Xu family, Xu Shancai's house."

Sima Ji had just breathed a sigh of relief when Tang Huoqi's next sentence knocked her back to her original form.

"Xu Shancai's only son, Xu Xian, left after the war a few years ago and never came back again, so the Xu family has been gradually defeated. Now that the old man is gone, the Xu family is also scattered..." Looking at Sima Ji more and more With a pale face, Tang Huoqi suddenly had a different emotion in his heart. After thinking about the previous things together, he finally had some vague ideas in his mind.

"Tang Huoqi, you... can you give me that house, I... I will pay three times your price to buy it."

"Money is a trivial matter. It's just that the location of the house is good, but after all, it is a bit noisy on the street. I'm afraid you are not used to it, the princess. Besides, it is an old house that people lived in. After all, it is not as good as the newly built princess mansion, and it is also close. " "Tang Huoqi, I don't care what you do... In short, the house must belong to me!"

A pair of cold hands suddenly grasped his hand holding the teacup, and Tang Huoqi was startled, all the scalding hot tea in the cup poured into his hands, and several blisters formed on his red hands on the spot.The exquisite teacup also fell to the ground, and the ground was in a mess.

"Princess, what's wrong with you!" Almost at the same time, Dongmei's voice came from outside the door.

"Dongmei, hurry up and ask the imperial physician to come in and take a look at the son-in-law!" Sima Ji looked at Tang Huoqi's horrific injuries, and unconsciously added a bit of power when he spoke.It's just that those eyes never dared to look directly at the bloody wound, as if he felt ashamed in his heart, "May I return..."

"Don't worry about it, princess. Tell me this little injury, it's nothing!" Tang Huoqi dodged, dodging Sima Ji's hand that was still hanging in mid-air, although his face didn't reveal it. What, but there was still anger in the words.

"Ben Gong..." The tone of her voice was three points weaker when she knew she was wrong, but the pride of the royal family did not allow her to apologize.

Seeing Sima Ji hesitated to speak, Tang Huoqi only thought that she was still racking her brains about begging for a house from him. The most annoying thing was that she lost her temper and hurt herself because of this matter. ...Thinking of this, her heart suddenly turned cold, and her words were filled with cold air: "This is the land deed of that house, if the princess wants to take it! You don't need to use the royal family's trick next time It's wishful thinking to think that our Tang family will bow their heads with these tricks!" After speaking, he slammed the land deed on the table and walked straight out the door.

"Princess, this..." Dongmei watched as Tang Huoqi walked past her with such a livid face. Just now she wanted to ask Sima Ji, but she saw that Sima Ji was also full of anger, so she knew it was interesting. shut up.

After a long while, Sima Ji said in a cold voice: "Dongmei, urge the workers to build the Princess Mansion by the end of the year. This Tang Mansion is full of anxiety!"

Chapter 11

Misunderstandings in the front, marriage in this world.It seems that old grudges are not old grudges, it is suspected that it is an old friend but not an old friend, it is hard to say.

"Dongmei, look at what this is." Sima Ji pushed the land deed on the table to the other side of the table.

"This...princess, is this the title deed?" Dongmei stared at the thin piece of paper uncertainly, and then came to this conclusion.

Sima Ji didn't answer either, but just sat quietly and stared at the land deed that caused the two of them to be unhappy for a while, then lost his mind on the portrait that had been hanging by the bed.

After a while, Sima Ji asked: "Dongmei, do you think she is okay?"

"Okay! Of course!" When Tang Huoqi was mentioned, Dongmei seemed to be excited, "Not only is the son-in-law considerate to you, but he also has no temper with our servants! He is very good-looking, but he has a temper There is nothing more to say..."

Hearing this, Sima Ji showed a rare look of snorting, saying that Tang Huoqi's good-tempered people must be confused by her pretty face!If she has a good temper, a sow can climb a tree and a crab can go straight!

"Princess, don't believe me. Let's take the cough that you always have at night. The last time the son-in-law came to see you at night, you asked the servant about it after hearing that you kept coughing. The servant also Let me tell you the truth, your cough is an old problem, and if it can’t be cured, you still take your medicine on time. The son-in-law didn’t say anything when he heard it, and the servant girl thought that this matter was just another story. The result is good, the first The next night, the slaves were about to fall asleep, and the son-in-law personally delivered something, saying that what kind of loquat ointment had a miraculous effect on coughing, so that the slaves would take a spoon to melt it into the bird's nest every night and watch you drink it... ...Hey? Princess, don't you feel that your cough is much less?"

Sima Ji just kept his mouth shut, his face against the candlelight kept changing from dark to bright, making it hard to see his likes and dislikes clearly, but the tightly wrinkled brows revealed the slightest bit of entanglement inside.

I thought it was because of the humidity in the south of the Yangtze River that the cough that had been bad for many years improved, but it turned out that it was all because of her.Even her father, queen and queen who have been together for more than ten years don't know about her cough, but she was aware of it and she took it to heart...

"When I got up on the third day, I heard all the servants in the mansion talking about it. When I was curious, I asked someone casually. Guess what? The son-in-law cooked it for you himself! Think about it, how rare it is to get fresh loquats in this winter! And the best scallops and honey in the loquat paste, I don’t know how much money the son-in-law spent! The most embarrassing thing is Our son-in-law stayed in the kitchen for eight hours in person before we got that small bottle of loquat paste! Although our son-in-law will never go back to the manor to accompany you, we really have nothing to say to you!"

"Then why didn't I know anything about this matter? Didn't I pay attention to this matter!" Sima Ji said angrily, could it be that he was the only one kept in the dark!

"It's not the son-in-law." Dongmei said helplessly, "The son-in-law said this is a trivial matter, so I don't need to tell you. Besides, the son-in-law also said that it is her duty to treat the princess well. What is there to make a fuss about if you do your job well..."

At this moment, Sima Ji couldn't hold back any longer.I thought that I was a dispensable person to Tang Huoqi, but I didn't expect that she cared so much about him.Sima Ji thought about it carefully, it seemed that she was always responsive to his requests.Whether it is going out for a stroll or going up to the mountains to burn incense, it is simply more comfortable and joyful than being in the palace.Even the streets and alleys in the south of the Yangtze River are even more familiar than Tang Huoqi, who grew up here.

And... and every time I inadvertently raised my head to meet those eyes, I was so gentle that I could pinch water.She always hugs and protects herself silently behind her, and tightly holds hands that will never let go in the crowded streets... Even the corners of her eyes and brows are full of affectionate and persistent affection...

Yes, who can fail to understand such a simple confession?Who can understand it?

Tonight, all over the south of the Yangtze River.Here you are silent and you don’t know it, but there is pain that is not drunk and does not return.

In an inconspicuous outer room somewhere on the second floor of Taibai Building, three people were still sitting around an urn of wine bottles that had long been empty.The toasts are intertwined, the cups touch each other, and a drink is so satisfying!

"Brother Tang, we haven't drank like this for a long time!" Bai Guang spoke in a rough voice, raised his head and drank the fine wine in the altar in one gulp.

"Yeah... the last time I drank like this, it seemed to be on my birthday..." Thinking of my own birthday, I remembered the encounter with Sima Ji that night. After those mistakes, she is probably still an unattainable princess who has nothing to do with her now, and she is also the young master of the Tang family's only son winery...

Thinking about this, Tang Huoqi's face was a bit more bitter. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of disappointment.
