Chapter 115: Distinguished Guest

Xie Fuya's dinner consisted of winter melon and shrimp soup, steamed tender choy sum, vinegared crispy radish, and chicken thighs, roast lamb shank, and grilled mushrooms, plus a plate of sauces and dried condiments.

When the meat was delivered, it was still hot, Xie Fuya tasted two bites of everything, and felt that the chicken called Huaji was really as delicious as Cheng Song said!

Xu is too tired to toss, Xie Fuya has a very good appetite, if it weren't for Luo's mother reminding her to eat less meat, so as not to restrain the discomfort in her stomach, she really wanted to eat more.

After eating, she drank the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and then the maidservant served her to bathe and apply the medicine, and Xie Fuya rested early today.

woke up early the next day, and Xie Fuya learned from Rushi that Xie Zhuo was drunk and sent back yesterday, and Cheng Shizi and Zhao Xi rushed back to the capital overnight.

Before leaving, Zhao Xi handed Da Yang a list, which said that he was going to hand it over to the county lord with the sauce and condiments that were stained when he roasted the leg of lamb yesterday.

Rushi brought the list and handed it to Xie Fuya, "Fourth Master Xi really has a heart." ”

Xie Fuya took the list and took a look at it, and found that the handwriting on it did not belong to Zhao Xi.

Xie Fuya has read the words written by Zhao Xi, and most of the posts of the banquets in Liang Wangfu are written by him personally. One is to show the importance of distinguished guests, and the other is that Zhao Xi wants to practice writing.

Before Xie Fuya got married, she would take a look at the posts handed over by Liang Wangfu to the Horse Mansion, and she could be regarded as watching Zhao Xi's font gradually have its own style from ordinary neatness.

The words on the list in front of him are like angry and thirsty for the spring, and they are vigorous and unrestrained! It is impossible for Zhao Xi to practice such words in just over half a year, so he certainly did not write them.

Xie Fuya folded the list and handed it to Rushi, and instructed: "Take it well, and we will also roast rabbit and lamb leg to eat when we have the opportunity in the future, with this dipping sauce." ”

Rushi put away the list and quipped: "Then you have to wait for the uncle and the county lord to call the hare." ”

Xie Fuya nudged Rushi's shoulder and said, "You girl, poor mouth! Even the master dares to joke." ”

Rushi covered her mouth and ran away with a smile, carefully sandwiching the list into a book on the shelf.

It's great that the master is finally happy!

Originally, Xie Fuya wanted to walk around Zhuangzi, but now that her feet are like this, she can't walk around. I dive into it and start thinking about the future.

Xie Zhuo stayed in Zhuangzi for another two days and returned to the capital after confirming that everything was right, but he left Dayang behind for Xie Fuya's dispatch.

Now Luo Changsheng is by Xie Zhuo's side, Luo Changshou went to Buzhuang as a buddy, and the two brothers finally found what they are good at and like to do. After the two brothers Da Yang and Xiao Yang went through the incident of the palace craftsmen group fight, they were no longer as vigilant as in the past, and the two brothers had the appearance of attendants.

After Dayang stayed, he found the head of the village, organized a few strong villagers to train, and also arranged shifts to patrol the village.

Rushi told Xie Fuya about Da Yang's actions, and said with a smile: "It's finally a little bit like this." It seems that the lesson that the county lord gave them at the horse farm was still useful. ”

Xie Fuya smiled, thinking that Brother Yang was smart enough, otherwise it would be useless to clean it up! Usually there are many evil slaves around him, not only saying that those slaves are doing evil with their masters, but also referring to those slaves maliciously provoking their masters to evil! This is an evil slave!

Fortunately, the brothers Da Yang and Xiao Yang are not very bad in nature, and they are smart, and they are willing to move forward, otherwise Xie Fuya would have cleared the two of them away from Xie Zhuo!

After almost ten days of quiet life in Zhuangzi, Xie Fuya received three letters from Beijing.

One is a letter of care from the concubine Xie Wu and Princess Anyang, and a lot of snacks and new fabrics in Beijing were also sent along with the letter. One was written by Xie Zhuo, and he wrote down the recent events in Beijing according to Xie Fuya's instructions to inform her, especially the people and things in Chengyibo's Mansion! The last one was a letter written by the crown princess, and what was written in the letter was also a word of concern, and said that the prince loved the inkstone he received during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after learning that Xie Fuya had carefully prepared it, he talked about what to return.

Xie Fuya read the letter written by her parents, and her heart was warm. After leaving a few pieces of snacks sent by her parents, the rest was divided into two parts, one was ordered to be sent to Luo's mother, and the other was given to Rushi to the servants and maids who were waiting for her in the yard.

Rushi picked out the snacks that Xie Fuya liked to eat and put them away, and then went to share the snacks.

Xie Fuya picked up the letter sent by Xie Zuo and read it carefully.

There is only one new thing in Beijing these days, that is, a concubine of the Marquis Mansion of Yongjun accidentally fell into the water during the banquet of the Chengen Mansion, and was rescued by the prince of Liang Wang, who happened to be passing by. The concubine was looked at by Zhao You because she was wet, and when she returned to the Hou Mansion, she made a fuss about hanging herself to save her name! After being rescued, she knelt in front of the old lady of the Hou Mansion and begged to go to the nunnery to shave her hair and be a sister-in-law, so as not to drag down the reputation of the sisters in the house.

The old lady of the Marquis Mansion of Yongjun and Emperor Xuanwen were cousins and brothers, so she wrote a letter and sent someone to Liang Wangfu to discuss with her cousin's daughter-in-law, Princess Liang, to see if she could let the prince Liang You accept the concubine as a concubine.

Princess Liang was already tired of the entanglement of the Yongjun Marquis's Mansion, and rejected their family's suggestion that they wanted to marry the county lord of Minyi and marry their concubine to Zhao Xi, but they didn't expect to be calculated by a concubine to take their eldest son when they turned around! Princess Liang would never let such a woman enter the palace and be her son's concubine!

Princess Liang's refusal again annoyed the old lady of the Yongjun Hou Mansion, and the old lady went into the palace in a rage to find Emperor Xuanwen and cried, saying that his son did not take her aunt in his eyes!

Emperor Xuanwen has every opportunity, how can he have spare time to care about whether his grandson accepts concubines or not! For the sake of the royal family, he explained a few words to the queen, and asked Princess Liang to allow the concubines of the Marquis Mansion of Nayong County to enter the Liang Palace.

Princess Liang was helpless, so she had to nod in agreement. But if you want to be a concubine, there is no door, so a small green sedan chair was carried in from the side door of the palace and casually thrown into a courtyard in Zhao You's backyard.

As for whether Zhao You likes this new concubine room, outsiders don't know. But King Liang did not look down on the gentlemen of the Yongjun Marquis Mansion because of this, and heard that the Marquis of Yongjun begged for an errand for one of his concubines to ask for an errand in front of King Liang and the prince Zhao You, and he said a lot of ugly things behind his back!

Xie Fuya closed the letter and sighed lightly.

In the last life, the concubine of the Yongjun Hou Mansion fell into the water when the lotus lantern was released on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and was rescued by Zhao You and carried into the palace. In that case, it seems that being accepted as Zhao You's concubine is a little more justified. It's just that in this life, Cheng Song and Xie Zuo were messing around by the river, and they were so frightened that the people who put the lotus lanterns scattered and fled, so naturally the concubine would not have fallen into the water.

The passage where the maid fell into the water in someone else's house is really not a very clever means! To put it bluntly, there are many wives and grandmothers in the inner house, and some little tricks are really not enough!

The Yongjun Marquis Mansion used such clumsy means, and relied on the old county lord to cry in front of Emperor Xuanwen, and forced people into the Liang Palace, and wanted to use this to cling to the relationship, which would definitely anger the Liang King! Not to mention that he wanted to give his own male a benefit to the Liang King, it would be good if the Liang King didn't clean up their family ruthlessly!

Although some things and some people's trajectories are slightly deviated, they are all on the same path and have achieved the same result.

Looking at the current situation of Chengyi Bo Mansion, it can be described as a mess, and it is also related to Liang Wangfu!

The three rooms of Chengyibo's Mansion were separated, and the big house was relieved. Although Cheng Yibo has not yet returned to the court, he has been walking around, hoping that someone will say a few good words for him in front of Emperor Xuanwen. It is precisely because Cheng Yibo thought that several major events had happened and the family was divided, and each room should be honest, so he negligently reminded the second master and the second wife to discipline their children!

Cai Yurong, the second girl in the second room, tried to emulate the concubine in the Hou Mansion of Yongjun County, blocked Zhao Xi on the road, and faked a fall and wanted to fall into his arms! Unfortunately, she was kicked out by the attendants beside Zhao Xi as an assassin! After checking later, she found out that she was the concubine of the second room of Chengyibo's Mansion, and knowing that there was a misunderstanding, Zhao Xi hurriedly sent someone to send Cai Yurong to the hospital for treatment, and sent someone to Chengyibo's Mansion to deliver the letter.

When the second master and the second wife learned the news, they were simply faceless! But they had to take Cai Yurong back from the hospital, and no one knew about the follow-up.

In addition to the errand of Cai Chengfeng, the eldest son, who was retained, Cai Chengshan and Cai Chengchuan had no news, and they didn't even go out of the mansion. There is no movement in the fifth room, but it has stopped a lot.

Xie Fuya is not very satisfied with the fate of Cheng Yibofu, especially Cai Chengshan and Su Weirou, the two sluts, are still alive and well! It's just frustration, how can she offset her resentment in the previous life! But the days go by, as long as they don't fly to the edge of the sky, she can always find a way to make them live a life that is unsatisfactory!

Putting aside the mess in Chengyibo's Mansion, the letter written by the crown princess is somewhat meaningful.

The prince liked the inkstone very much...... If Uncle Crown really saw those words, he would have wanted to talk to her. But the crown prince is a cautious person, and he will not easily trust anyone or anything, and it has been so long since the Mid-Autumn Festival that the crown princess wrote a letter to her, presumably after careful consideration and discussion with the strategists.

Xie Fuya threw all the letters written by Xie Zuo and the crown princess into the basin at her feet and soaked them, and was not in a hurry to reply to the letters.

The prince's uncle has been the prince for thirty years, and his skills in power and scheming are definitely much more powerful than her as a little woman in the inner house, and it is not her turn to dictate the prince's actions. Xie Fuya knew that what she could do was to use the memories of her previous life to help the prince avoid King Liang's calculations.

Take the initiative to find and talk eloquently, I'm afraid that I won't be able to win the trust of the prince, so it's better to wait for the prince to come to her!

After straightening everything out, Xie Fuya continued to recuperate in Zhuangzi with peace of mind.

After another four days, Yunhezhuang ushered in two distinguished guests - the county lord of Minyi and Wu Ruyue, the girl of Pingxi Hou Mansion!

Zhao Qinghui and Wu Ruyue got acquainted at the last poetry meeting, and under the guidance of Xiao Jiu, a girl from the Hou Mansion of Fenyang, the two quickly became handkerchiefs.

Zhao Qinghui was raised by Princess Liang to be innocent and coquettish, Wu Ruyue is the daughter of a military general, straightforward and generous, and the two of them complement each other in terms of nature.

Xie Fuya learned that Zhao Qinghui and Wu Ruyue were coming, so she hurriedly asked the maid to clean up her house, and then helped her to sit and wait in the bright room.

The maidservants tidied up the house in an orderly manner, and it didn't take long for Luo's mother to lead Zhao Qinghui and Wu Ruyue in.

Xie Fuya was inconvenient to walk, so she couldn't go out to greet her, so Rushi smiled and went out to welcome the two distinguished guests.

"I heard that Cousin Fuya's foot is sprained?" Zhao Qinghui asked Rushi softly.

"The county lord Lao is worried, on the second day of coming to the village, our county lord and the uncle have to go hunting hares. As a result, the rabbit did not catch it, and fell on its foot. "Poetry said softly.

This is the statement that Xie Fuya, Luo's mother, and Rushi have unified their voices, avoiding encountering Cheng Song and Zhao Xi.

There was a girl's low laugh in the courtyard, and Xie Fuya couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.

The bamboo curtain was raised, and Zhao Qinghui and Wu Ruyue walked in around the screen.

Xie Fuya took the handmaiden's wishful hand and wanted to stand up, but Zhao Qinghui hurriedly walked over and held her hand, "Cousin, don't get up, my sister is polite." ”

Xie Fuya glanced at Wu Ruyue and smiled apologetically, "It's rude to Miss Wu." ”

Wu Ruyue smiled, "The county lord has seen the outside, I am friends with Qinghui, you are her cousin, and you are also my sister, so why be polite." ”

From the title, she could hear the distance and proximity, but Xie Fuya really didn't want to force herself, so she smiled and invited Zhao Qinghui and Wu Ruyue to sit down.

The maid served tea fruits and snacks and retreated, leaving only Rushi to serve Xie Fuya, who was unable to move.

"Why didn't you know if you came over?" Xie Fuya looked at Zhao Qinghui and said, "I'm ready to prepare." ”

Zhao Qinghui covered her mouth and smiled: "What does my cousin want to prepare? Is it possible that you still have to hunt wild rabbits for me and Sister Ruyue?"

The girl's crisp laughter rose in the room, and Xie Fuya squinted at Rushi with disgust while laughing and said, "It must be Rushi, this girl betrayed me!

"Ouch, the county lord can spare the slave maid. Rushi pretended to beg for mercy and smiled, "The slave just saw that the county lord was worried about your injury and told the truth." ”

"Hmph, what's the truth!" Xie Fuya snorted as she pretended to be annoyed, "I will punish you with a month's worth of silver and give it to the little girls to buy fruits to eat!"

Rushi smiled and stopped talking, the masters laughed, and it was enough for her to insert a sentence or two to make her funny.

After a few jokes to liven up the atmosphere, Xie Fuya said to Zhao Qinghui and Wu Ruyue: "You guys are also coincidental, I am thinking about asking Zhuangtou to go to the farmer's house to buy a lamb today, and roast a leg of lamb after slaughtering it to eat." ”

In the past few days, Xie Fuya tried to mix sauces and dry condiments according to the list given by Xie Zhuo during the day, and found that some of the condiments were Hu Pan spices, which needed to be purchased from a dry ingredient shop in Beijing or Hu Shang. I didn't buy all the ingredients until yesterday, and I also called out a few ingredients, and I plan to try the taste today.

"Roast leg of mutton?" Zhao Qinghui's eyes lit up, "But set up a fire and put the leg of mutton on it to roast?"

Xie Fuya raised her eyebrows, "Qinghui has seen it?"

Zhao Qinghui shook her head shyly, "I haven't seen it, but I heard from the fourth brother and Sister Wu." My brother roasted a leg of lamb with Cheng Shizi of the Luguo Mansion a while ago, and Sister Wu roasted it in Xiguan to see the soldiers at the border gate. Just listening to them, I think that the scene must be very ...... Beautiful. ”

Xie Fuya recalled that day when she saw Cheng Song and others roasting a leg of mutton, there was no good intention, but a rough and desolate feeling.
