The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 20 The Duke of Zhao smashed our shop!

Xue Qingyin took Du Hongxue, oh, that is, the young general, to the forest behind the farm.

They walked in front.

The others followed behind timidly, not even daring to breathe.

Only Mrs. Xue seemed more comfortable.

"The place is indeed spacious, but the horses you raise here are too bad." Du Hongxue blurted out.

The manager in charge of the horse farm lowered his head, thinking how could private horses be compared with military horses?

Xue Qingyin didn't think so much, just asked: "Where is the difference?"

Du Hongxue frowned: "Everything is worse... Look at this horse's hair, it's messy and dry, how long has it not been trimmed? The back is not straight, and the body is thin... What can you do with the horse after raising it to this point?"

After that.

Du Hongxue suddenly reacted, and smiled at Xue Qingyin awkwardly as if he was afraid of offending her.

"Mother, what are the horses on our farm raised for?" Xue Qingyin turned around and asked Madam Xue.

Madam Xue's face was not very good either, and she only said: "Of course they are all sold."

She called the steward and asked how many horses had been sold in recent years.

The steward hesitated: "It takes some time for a foal to grow into what it is today... It's not so easy to pick a good stallion. Gradually, there are only these good and bad ones left." He was silent for a while, and then said sadly: "Not a single one was sold."

But it's impressive to have a horse farm!

The steward thought, isn't this enough?

Du Hongxue on the side couldn't listen anymore, and blurted out again: "Horses like this... can be raised with your feet. It's strange that they can be sold."

The steward's face fell, and he didn't dare to speak.

At this moment, his expression was almost the same as if all the nine clans had died.

Xue Qingyin asked, "How can we raise horses well?"

"This... I can't say for sure. We have a horseman who specializes in raising horses in our Xuanwu Army."

Xue Qingyin smiled brightly: "Thank you, I know."

Du Hongxue heard her pleasant laughter, and she had no grudges. She was really a broad-minded and generous girl.

He turned his head away and blushed almost uncontrollably.

Du Hongxue was going to go back and report, so Xue Qingyin sent him down the mountain.

When passing by the camellia bushes, Xue Qingyin picked a few flowers and stuffed them into Du Hongxue's hands.

Du Hongxue stood there at a loss, and forgot how to get there.

"Please bring it to His Royal Highness Xuan Wang for me." Xue Qingyin said.

"...Oh, okay." Du Hongxue held the flowers in a hurry.

It turned out to be for His Royal Highness.

Xue Qingyin asked him again: "Can I invite His Royal Highness Xuan Wang to come?"

Du Hongxue said in embarrassment: "Yes, I can..." But no one can invite His Royal Highness!

Xue Qingyin decided to try hard and give it a try.

Anyway, these properties of the Xue family must not be left to He Songning! He Songning is too ruthless to turn his face!

"I want to invite... No, it's our farm that wants to invite His Royal Highness Xuan Wang to come, to enjoy the flowers and horse racing. There is also a hot spring pool upstairs." This is something in the original body's memory, and I don't know if the hot spring pool is abandoned.

Du Hongxue can only say: "I will report to His Royal Highness."

But whether he comes or not is another matter.

Xue Qingyin nodded.

Anyway, she has tried her best, so she can do whatever she wants later.

After sending Du Hongxue away, Mrs. Xue began to deal with the people on the farm.

Xue Qingyin couldn't do such a thing, so she lazily ate melon seeds in the back.

But it was not the case in the eyes of the people in Zhuangzi...

This young lady first got close to the young general of the Xuanwu Army with a few words, and dared to ask for money while inviting His Royal Highness King Xuan to visit.

Now she is sitting there, eating melon seeds at ease.

It can be seen that she is calm! How deep her scheming is!

Even Jin Xiang couldn't help but look up to Xue Qingyin at this moment.

This young lady...it's really hard to see clearly.

Du Hongxue returned to the camp with flowers in his hands stiffly, and asked when he saw someone: "Has Your Royal Highness returned to the city?"

The man replied: "Still." After that, he couldn't help but tease him: "Didn't the general manager go to find a place to race horses? Why did you go to pick flowers?"

Du Hongxue ignored him and walked straight to the direction of the big tent.

Not far away, he ran into King Xuan and his deputy general.

King Xuan's eyes fell on the flowers in Du Hongxue's hands.

He suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

But it seemed absurd to think about it...

But this absurdity was shattered by Du Hongxue the next moment.

Du Hongxue hurriedly walked up to him and saluted: "Your Highness, I met the girl from the Xue family on the farm, and she asked me to bring these to Your Highness."

After saying that, Du Hongxue was also a little nervous.

Such things are more or less useless in the military camp. I'm afraid that Your Highness will scold him for doing unnecessary things.

The deputy general was a little interested first and asked: "Oh? The girl from the Xue family that day? I still can't forget her kite. Did she go to the farm to play today? Then the disease must have been cured."

But King Xuan suddenly said: "It won't be cured."

The deputy general was stunned: "What did Your Highness say?"

"It's an old disease that is easy to flare up." King Xuan said lightly.

The deputy general was full of doubts.

Wait.

How does Your Highness know so much?

How could the deputy general know that King Xuan had met Xue Qingyin again in the palace.

At this moment, Du Hongxue's hands were almost soft. Of course, the main reason was that the pressure from King Xuan was too strong.

He couldn't help but say cautiously: "Your Highness, this flower..."

Only King Xuan himself knew that this flower was the thank-you gift she mentioned last time.

King Xuan had no emotion on his face, and said in a flat tone: "Take it."

The eunuch who followed him hurried forward to take it.

"Also, that farm belongs to Miss Xue's family. She said that if you want to go to their horse farm to race horses, you have to give 500 taels of silver."

The deputy general couldn't help but mutter secretly.

It seems that the little girl has no interest in His Highness King Xuan at all? Then what about sending flowers? If it were another girl, she would have asked His Highness to go to race horses.

"Also!" Du Hongxue spoke again.

The deputy general couldn't help laughing: "Can you finish it in one breath?"

Du Hongxue ignored him and said in a cautious tone: "Miss Xue wants to invite His Highness to visit the manor..."

"It's hard to guess what the little girl is thinking." The deputy general only summed up this sentence after a long time.

"What Your Highness means..."

"The silver should be given."

"Yes, I think so too. Keeping people on the manor will cost money. We can't do that kind of thing to take advantage of it."

"Let's go."

"Your Highness is going back to the city now?"

"To the manor."

After half an incense stick.

King Xuan came to the manor.

But Xue Qingyin was gone.

The manager was almost scared crazy. His legs were shaking and he trembled when he spoke: "The eldest girl said, she said she would go back to the city to take a look at the silk and satin manor..."

No one expected that His Highness King Xuan would really come!

What should I do?

He has never seen such a big figure in his life!

Not to mention entertaining such a noble!

King Xuan: "..."

He turned his head and glanced at Du Hongxue inconspicuously.

Du Hongxue was also embarrassed: "This, this, I forgot when I invited you..."

King Xuan lowered his eyes: "Ye Wei, you lead the people to take over this place."

The young man named "Ye Wei" responded.

The steward and others were really scared.

Take, take over this place?

Is the Xuanwu Army really going to settle accounts with them?

…

Xue Qingyin sat in the carriage, holding a cup of chrysanthemum tea in her hand.

On the small table in front of her, the small red clay stove was emitting heat.

Alas, I ate too many melon seeds.

I am getting angry.

Mrs. Xue said to her: "You are too bold today. Don't talk like that next time." "By the way, you didn't behave like this when you entered the palace that day?"

Xue Qingyin blinked: "What are you thinking, mother? If I act arrogantly, can I still come back?"

Mrs. Xue thought so too, and couldn't help laughing: "My Qingyin is a well-behaved and smart child..."

As she spoke, the carriage stopped.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Xue asked.

Jin Xiang's forehead, which had been wiped clean, was sweating again.

He couldn't help cursing.

What kind of shit luck is he today?

Jin Xiang looked at the closed door in front of him, which had countless marks on it, and squeezed out a voice from his throat: "The silk shop seems to have been...robbed!"

"What?!" Mrs. Xue rolled up the curtain and jumped down.

Jin Xiang also hurried forward to knock on the door.

Mrs. Xue was angry and anxious: "Where did the robbers come from under the feet of the emperor?"

Jin Xiang couldn't figure it out either.

Fortunately, the door was knocked open at this time, and a head popped out.

The man was overjoyed when he saw Jin Xiang: "Manager Jin, you are finally here! Where is the eldest son? Is the eldest son here? Something happened! Today, people from the Duke Zhao's mansion came and smashed our shop!"
