The next day was Xiumu, and Sheng Qingyun was having breakfast with his wife in the courtyard, when someone suddenly spread the word that the emperor and the imperial concubine had come to reward him.

Sheng Qingyun and his wife looked at each other, full of doubts, but the emperor rewarded them to come forward to greet them, put down the dishes and tidy up their appearance, and hurried to the main entrance.

Because there was no imperial decree for rewards, there was no incense table in the front hall, but ten large mahogany boxes were piled up to the brim. When Sheng Qingyun came out, the eunuch who delivered the order lifted the lid of a nearby box.

The bright gold in the eyes almost dazzles people's eyes under the sunlight. Sheng Qingyun is used to seeing wealth and honor as a prime minister, but now seeing such a box full of gold bars, his heart skipped a beat. The eunuch opened it without saying a word. Another box lid was opened, and this box contained high-quality Dongzhu, each of which was the size of a child's fist, and the color was shiny. The beads are collected in their own private treasury.

However, Sheng Qingyun's expression gradually sank when he saw the box of Dongzhu.

"Your Excellency, Mrs. Prime Minister, these are all rewarded by the emperor and the imperial concubine to the eldest son. I wonder where the eldest son is?" the eunuch cupped his hands and said to the two.

"This..." Sheng Qingyun didn't expect that the emperor and the noble concubine would really like this "Prince Concubine". He just gave an order yesterday to take good care of him and didn't care about it. Now he doesn't know where Sheng Li lives. Did not go to pass.

The prime minister's wife hurriedly said: "The eldest son is stubborn and lazy. He has been called over now. Eunuch might as well go in and have a cup of morning tea. That child has never been very diligent. I'm afraid he will have to wait for a long time."

Before the words were finished, Sheng Li had already come from a side path. He was neatly dressed and his steps were firm and powerful. If he hadn't known in advance that he was born stupid, the eunuch would subconsciously think that this was someone's outstanding son.

Sheng Li was led to him by the servant, and he never saluted Sheng Qingyun and his wife. Instead, he walked quickly to the ten large boxes, grabbed a handful of Dongzhu with his left hand, and squeezed a few gold bars with his right hand. He laughed loudly and said: "What a beautiful thing! Let me play first!" After finishing speaking, he looked at the eunuch again and asked, "I heard that these are for me to play with, right?"

Before the eunuch could answer, Sheng Li was already lying on the ground, not caring at all that his delicate clothes were stained with mud, like an urchin rolling balls, he flicked several huge orbs back and forth, and one of them rolled out , just rolled along the path and rolled into a small pond on one side, only heard a soft "boom", and disappeared without even a bubble.

Sheng Li let out an "ah" in disappointment, stood up and shook his head, "It's not fun."

The eunuch didn't seem to notice that Sheng Li's behavior was inappropriate, but instead bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Return to the words of the eldest son, it is exactly. These things were rewarded to you by the emperor and the imperial concubine. You fill your private treasury and dispose of it at will without handing it over to others."

Sheng Qingyun's face paled, he was very puzzled yesterday, how could the emperor allow a fool to be the prince's concubine, even if he wanted to take the opportunity to knock on Duan Guifei's mother's family, there should have been a favorite candidate, how could he choose the prime minister People from the government?

But now that I look at it this way, who else can "hand over to others" refer to him?

Sheng Qingyun has been an official for many years and has been an extremely personable minister. He is by no means a good official with two sleeves. It must be known that when he started his official career, he followed the way of selling officials and nobles. The person who went out has become very rich in just a few years, but he never shows it outside, and he is extremely cautious in his actions. Except for a few confidants, no one knows how much money has flowed from him. The emperor himself praised him as "a clean and honest official, which can be of great use", but now... You must know that he happened to order his subordinates to send out a box of Dongzhu for relationship a few days ago.

Sheng Qingyun was worried, but he didn't show it on his face, he just smiled and said: "The rewards from the emperor and the imperial concubine are naturally for him to deal with."

The eunuch smiled and said yes, and sang the list of rewards again. The emperor and the imperial concubine rewarded two boxes of gold bars and pearls each, and there were five boxes of the four treasures of the study, calligraphy and painting antiques, etc., and another box filled with various names. The sword was a gift from the thirteen princes to the "fiancée".At the end, the eunuch asked Sheng Li specifically: "My lord, do you want to carry the things directly into your yard?"

The prime minister's wife was thinking of Sheng Li as an idiot, so she didn't understand the twists and turns here, not to mention that box of Dongzhu really made her jealous, so she couldn't help but said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, we will let the servant Just go and carry it, don't bother your father-in-law any more."

"Prime Minister's Madam, I'm bothering you." The eunuch cupped his hands, but he didn't agree. Instead, he looked at Sheng Li and waited for his answer.

"Move to my yard and let me play alone?" Sheng Li asked nonchalantly as he tossed two East Pearls casually.

"Back to the eldest son, yes."

"Then move away quickly, I want to use this sword to cut beads for fun," Sheng Li patted the box, "Move away!"

When the prime minister's wife heard the words, her silver teeth almost shattered. She was about to say more, but was stopped by Sheng Qingyun.

"Master..." The prime minister's wife frowned slightly, but Sheng Qingyun gave her a hard look, "Shut up."

The prime minister's wife had no choice but to watch the boxes of treasures being carried into Shengli's yard, and finally sent away the people in the palace, so she asked the prime minister in private, "Master, what do you think, we just Said that I sent it to that fool's yard, and when the eunuch left, who knows if there are any things in it?"

"Let me tell you, you are not allowed to touch any of Sheng Li's things these few days. The palace said that a dowry will be sent tomorrow, and you should also prepare the dowry according to the regulations of your son-in-law." Sheng Qingyun said.

"What?!" The prime minister's wife's eyes widened, but seeing Sheng Qingyun's face turned livid, she didn't dare to say any more, so she just lowered her head and said yes.

Sheng Qingyun was still a little worried, and told him again, "But in a few days, he will marry into the thirteenth prince's mansion. If the thirteenth prince...he wants to come, he will not be able to live. You are the mistress of the prime minister's mansion. , don't bother with him anymore, aren't these years enough for you to vent?"

The prime minister's wife looked a little ugly, but she didn't dare to refute Sheng Qingyun's words, but she felt uneasy after all, and couldn't help asking: "Master, don't everyone say that this is the concubine chosen for the thirteenth prince's joy, if it's true, then why not?" Washed up the thirteen princes..."

"The thirteenth prince will not get better." Sheng Qingyun looked at her and whispered firmly.

"For..." The prime minister's wife suddenly fell silent and looked at Sheng Qingyun in disbelief.

Sheng Qingyun didn't mention it again, but said: "Go back and have dinner."

Because of the reason that the emperor and concubine Duan gave him great rewards, Sheng Li really experienced the treatment of being the eldest son in the prime minister's mansion this day. Not only the attendants in the mansion saw him respectful, but even the three meals a day The style is also the most exquisite and fresh, but Sheng Li is not greedy for words. The maid who came to deliver the meal saw that he had not touched his chopsticks for many dishes, and thought it was an expression of dissatisfaction, so she collected the dishes and left in fear. Small courtyard.

That night, there was no one watching under the eaves. After carefully playing with several famous swords sent by Xia Tian, ​​Sheng Li blew out the candles and was about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard a faint movement in the flowers outside the house.

He frowned, but the little sword cultivator at the dantian suddenly became lively, and even the little fox who had been silent for a small world also moved its tail.

Sheng Li, who was about to get up, lay back down again. He closed his eyes and listened carefully, only to hear a very slight sound of scratching the window from the left window. After a while, the carved wooden window was pushed open. seam.

Under the bright moonlight, a fluffy ball of snow-white was squeezed out from the narrow gap, and there was only a pot of orchid grass under the window, and the ball of hair just hit the middle of the orchid leaves, pressing the branch of orchid in front of it.

The pistil was just facing the tip of the little fox's nose. Xia Tian only felt itchy for a while, but he was afraid that he would attract more people by making a noise, so he could only cover it with his two paws desperately, his eyes rolled around, Afraid of being found out.

After finally suppressing the feeling of wanting to sneeze, Xia Tian cautiously jumped down to the ground along the flowerpot. He was not familiar with this house, so he looked around for a while before seeing Sheng Li.

The little fox felt full of joy, and ran over quickly. With his two front paws resting on the edge of the bed, he poked his head to look at Sheng Li, and even wagged his big furry tail involuntarily.

"Why don't you come up?" Sheng Li closed his eyes and waited for a long time, but he still didn't see the little fox jumping onto the bed. He sat up with a low laugh, stretched out his hand to fish it out, hugged the little fox in his arms, and stroked it carefully. He lowered his head and kissed the little fox's wet nose repeatedly, until the little fox couldn't breathe, but Xia Tian couldn't bear to move his paws to push him away, so he just flicked his tail and let out a soft cry from his throat.

Only then did Sheng Li let go of his hand, squeezed the tip of the little fox's tail, and said in a low voice, "How did you escape from the palace?"

"Ha Chirp!" The little fox blinked and sneezed.
