Chapter III
"I once asked you what you want to do in the future, and you couldn't answer it then, can you answer it now?"
The fifth prince lowered his head and thought for a while, those words that could only be suppressed in his heart before, now he could say it without any scruples, he said solemnly, "I will be a generation of Ming Jun." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
She had something to say, "Remember what you look like now." The fifth prince didn't know what she meant, Jing Diyi only said that if he doesn't understand it now, he will understand one day.
……
This year, the winter is early, before December, the first snow fell in the imperial capital, covered in silver overnight, the flowers withered, only the plum blossom fragrance of Gu Ying self-pity is quiet and arrogant.
Han Xing took out winter clothes from the cabinet and waited for Jing Diyi to change into, matched the fluffy trimmed gown, combed Jing Diyi's hanging hair in a bun and inserted Jing Diyi's favorite black wood sandalwood pear flower hairpin.
Yangchun came over with a bronze carved koi hand stove, and Jing Diyi said, "No." She thought it smelled of burning charcoal, and she wasn't so weak that she needed it with cold hands and feet.
Yangchun put the hand stove on the table, it has been four months since the first emperor ascended the throne, and in these four months, Chen Musheng's official rank has jumped several levels and he has been promoted to the squire of the military department.
Yangchun said, "When the slave passed by the young master's room, she heard the young lady sighing in the room, and she was about to sigh the snow on the tree. The young master hasn't been back to the house for three days in a row, and he always runs at both ends of the palace and the official mansion, but he doesn't touch the house. ”
Jing Diyi said, "I suddenly saw a strange willow color, and the penitent husband was looking for a marquis." In the future, she will have to sigh, so she should adapt to it in advance. ”
Han Xing took the bronze mirror and asked Jing Diyi to see if the makeup was satisfactory, Han Xing said, "Now except for Lord Feng, the young master is the most favored by the emperor, and men should focus on their careers." Forgetting the small family for the sake of the community is also for the benefit of the people of Dawn. Besides, it's better to be busy with business than to be in the pink heap with other officials. ”
Yangchun nodded, quite agreeing with Han Xing's words, "That's right, it's also Miss who taught well." The young master is benevolent, righteous and filial, and he is wholeheartedly devoted to the young lady, just because he doesn't mess with flowers and grass, the young lady is really blessed to marry the young master. ”
Jing Diyi glanced at the bronze mirror, her request was very simple, as long as it was not heavy makeup, she had to do it, "I really taught it well?" I thought that Mu Sheng didn't dare to have three wives and four concubines, because he was afraid of Pingle, the tigress. ”
Yang Chun said, "The young master is afraid of the young lady, and the young lady is not afraid of the young lady." ”
Jing Diyi picked a silver ring and put it on, "Who made her die and became my daughter-in-law." ”
Fengfu's carriage was already waiting outside the door, and Cao Luo saw that the gate was open and Jing Diyi walked out, so he reminded, "My lord." ”
Feng Michu lifted the curtain and stretched out his clean and slender hand, his hand just held the hand stove to warm, very warm. Jing Diyi held it, and Feng Michu pulled her into the carriage.
"Brother Feng, you really have to practice this body, and you wear more tightly than my girl's house. Seeing his tired face, "It's been an all-nighter again? It's not a teenager anymore, and he's really not afraid of dying of hard work at this age." ”
Feng Mi Chu said, "I heard that when Lu Pingzhao was at the funeral, he passed outside the Miss's house. ”
Jing Diyi was not annoyed, and said calmly, "Yes, the money is scattered all over the ground, and Yangchun pouted all day long, saying bad luck, and swept it for a long time." "Not long after the emperor died, the Lu family didn't dare to do anything in vain, sneaking around early in the morning, there are so many streets in this imperial capital, so they chose her to pass outside the house," They thought I killed Lu Pingzhao, so they could only use this way to spread their anger, I have no taboos." ”
The emperor poisoned, and Lu Pingzhao did not survive this winter. Hearing that Lu Fu was grief-stricken, he had taken leave from the court and stayed in the mansion to recuperate.
Feng Michu looked at her, "A few days ago, I don't know who splashed pig's blood outside the Lu Mansion. ”
Jing Diyi was slightly surprised as if she had just learned, "Yes." ”
That Mu Sheng asked someone to do it in private, and he thought that he could hide it from her, he thought that Lu Pingzhao was cheaper for him to die so much.
Feng Michu smiled, lay down with her head on her lap, and closed her eyes.
This is a sanctimonious way to take advantage of her, Jing Diyi grabbed his sleeve and scratched his nose, Feng Michu grabbed her hand and put it into the wide sleeve, and his tone was also tired, "Fuqi sent an envoy." ”
"Fu Qi?" Speaking of helping relatives, I think of the poor horse master, after the fifth child became the emperor, he also sealed the official position of Zongzheng to disease, it seems to be subordinate to the Ministry of Industry, and he is a high-ranking official but has no real power, and he is an idle errand. "I heard that there was a civil strife a while ago, and many people in the royal family died in order to fight for power, and their vitality was greatly damaged, and they came here for Zongzheng?"
He said slowly, "Fuqi is only a small country, and the national strength is not strong. It is also possible that the disaster caused the wall, the people's livelihood withered, and thought of the inability to resist foreign enemies, and had the intention to show favor and dependence. ”
"Whatever the purpose, it won't be a good thing for Brother Feng's ambitious friend. The new emperor and the first emperor are very different, the first emperor has the majestic ambition of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and marrying his daughter to Zong Zheng to get sick means that he also intends to get involved in helping relatives, but unfortunately, although the turtle is still long-lived. And the new emperor, he may not dare to ask him to kill chickens with a knife. ”
Now that the internal troubles in the DPRK and China have not disappeared, they still can't take care of their own internal affairs, and if they still have to take care of the family affairs of other small countries, it will be irrational.
Zongzheng wants to seize power by borrowing troops, and the current form is unlikely.
Feng Michu didn't express an opinion, but smiled, "Miss is right." ”
Jing Diyi withdrew his hand and scratched the corner of his eye with his sleeve this time, "If Fu Qi really has the heart to cling, he just wants to save that projectile land." That condition is not for you to open. Nominally, it became a brotherly state, but in fact it was incorporated into a subject state, and it was provided for the dynasty every year after year, without spending a single soldier. Brother Feng thinks that the ministers of the DPRK and China support more or oppose more?"
Most of the ministers of the DPRK and China want to be comfortable, and it is better not to fight if they can avoid war.
Feng Mi opened her clear phoenix eyes at the beginning, and she was very helpless to harass her, "Does Miss want to ask me if I am for or against?" he did not answer positively, but said, "Everyone in the court is in awe of Lu Fu, but Miss is the only one who does not distort her true colors from beginning to end." ”
She is not from the imperial court, "Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang were both ordered to support the young master, and the two of them were equal in terms of wisdom and strategy, but in the end, Sima Yi won, and he won longer than Zhuge Liang." I'm still so young, what am I afraid of. ”
Feng Michu said with a smile, "From now on, I must listen to Miss's words carefully, work and rest regularly, and pay attention to diet and health." ”
Jing Diyi was satisfied, stroked his head, and said that he could rest at ease, "This sleeplessness is also a disease, and only by listening to my words can he get better quickly." ”
Feng Michu closed his eyes again, "Miss, do you know who received the envoy." ”
"Who?" is not worth guessing.
Feng Michu didn't sell Guanzi either, "Mu Sheng." ”
When she heard this, she laughed, laughing ill-intentionedly, and just said that Mu Sheng was afraid of his wife like a tiger, "Could it be that the envoy is a woman?"
"Miss is smart. ”
"Young and beautiful?"
Feng Mi quoted the scriptures at the beginning, "The gentleman does not look evil, his ears do not hear, but he does not pay attention to his appearance." However, I heard that she is the daughter of the royal family, and she is beautiful in the boudoir. ”
said that he was like a righteous gentleman, Jing Diyi said, "This kind of thing is not hidden, it is peaceful, and if you hide it, it seems that there is a ghost in your heart." If Pingle knew, he wouldn't know if Mu Sheng was going to kneel on the abacus or top the night pot. ”
Feng Michu reminded, "Mu Sheng is your son. ”
"yes. "So we have to spare no effort to get hurt," I am teaching him to be honest with each other in order to be affectionate. "Do you want to set up a gambling game in the house when you go back?" Do you think he will kneel down or hold a night pot?"
Feng Michu was amused and stopped talking. He slept for a while, and when he arrived at Cui Hu's mansion, Jing Diyi woke him up.
Fang Yingshou is seven months pregnant, her body is bulky, and she has to be helped when she walks. When she saw Jing Diyi, she ordered someone to prepare tea and fruit, and wanted to pull Jing Diyi into the room to whisper.
Cui Hu was very nervous about this first child, knowing that Jing Diyi would definitely see Fang Yingshou when he came over, "Can't I listen?"
Fang Yingshou said with a smile, "I'll talk to Di Yi about the girl's family, and Master Hou will talk to Lord Feng about national affairs." ”
Jing Diyi and Fang Yingshou went back to the room to check Fang Yingshou's pulse, Fang Yingshou stroked her stomach, loving and concerned and a little nervous and worried, until Jing Diyi told her that the pulse was very stable, she was relieved, "Recently, this child has been moving a little frequently, and I'm afraid that I haven't noticed anything, and I have eaten or used something that is not good for the child." ”
Jing Diyi said, "It's okay, don't be too nervous, too much nervousness will affect your body." "Tell her what she can eat more and what she can eat less.
Fang Yingshou nodded and wrote it down. In fact, she didn't think much about it at first, but when she saw that Hou Ye was startled by the child in her belly, she was nervous.
Fang Yingshou asked the maid who was serving to step back and asked in a low voice, "Diyi, can you know if the child in the belly is male or female?"
Thinking that she wanted to ask something, mysterious, Jing Diyi smiled, "What, are you also patriarchal like other official ladies in the imperial capital?"
Fang Yingshou said, "I like both boys and girls, they are all the children of me and Hou Ye, and I love them the same." It's just that Hou Ye is an only son, I have been married to Hou Ye for so many years before I am pregnant, if it is a only seedling, I hope it is a boy, and I can succeed the incense lamp. ”
"Cui Hu thinks so too?"
"Hou Ye said that it is destined to give birth to a boy and a girl. He hoped it was his daughter, but he was afraid that he would be afraid if he gave birth to a daughter. I don't know what the prince means when he is worried, and he doesn't say anything when I ask, probably because he thinks I can't help. ”
Jing Diyi couldn't help laughing, it was time to be afraid, he had harmed so many women from good families before, of course, he was afraid that if he gave birth to a daughter in the future, he would be abducted by someone like him, "There were so many wives and concubines before your marquis, but they also had nothing, so even if your baby is really a lone seedling, it is none of your business, it is your husband's problem." Since he doesn't care whether the child is male or female, what do you care, isn't it peace or blessing?"
Fang Yingshou thought about it, and felt that what Jing Diyi said was not unreasonable, the safety of the child was the most important thing, "How can you say the same thing so convincingly, it's incredible." ”
Jing Diyi sat crookedly, holding her cheeks next to the table, and winked at Fang Yingshou, "I am a demon girl from Nanban, and what I am best at is demagoguery." ”
Fang Yingshou stroked his chest, his heart was beating fast, he only felt that it was fortunate that Jing Diyi was a girl, otherwise the men in the imperial capital would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law.
Li Shuang came in with tea fruits.
She has changed a lot, her face has been greased and powdered, she has learned to paint the most popular makeup in the imperial capital now, she is used to wearing flashy dresses here, dragging a slightly longer skirt, and walking is not like the striding meteor of the Zhan Wangfu at that time, but the rules and regulations.
Jing Diyi called, "Abaoli." She still prefers the name.
Li Shuang saluted.
Jing Diyi got up and circled around Li Shuang, her skin was fair, and her figure was also slender, "I almost didn't recognize you." ”
Li Shuang put down the tea fruit and poured tea for Jing Diyi, Fang Yingshou picked up a green plum and put it in her mouth, after being pregnant, her appetite changed completely, she likes to eat sour, the more sour, the better, "Li Shuang is now serving by my side, she is both careful and sharp, I can't do without her." ”
Li Shuang lowered his head and looked humble, "It's that Madame doesn't dislike slaves and maids. ”
Even the words here are said more smoothly than before, and the words are clearer, Jing Diyi said, "It seems that you are completely following the customs of the locals." ”
"The slave maid followed the prince from Fuqi, the prince married Princess Kang Yi, and regarded this as his second hometown, and of course the slave and maid also regarded this place as their hometown. Li Shuang owed Qiao, "The slave maid will go and get some snacks for the lady again." ”
Fang Yingshou said, "The Ten Princes are coming in a while, you can go to the kitchen to help." ”
"Yes. Li Shuang retreated, secretly raised his eyes, and saw Jing Diyi staring at her intently. Jing Diyi grabbed a plum and tasted it, so sour that she lost her teeth, and spit out the plum while frowning, but her eyes were still looking at it.
Li Shuang immediately closed the door, blocking Jing Diyi's sight.
In addition to Feng Michu and Jing Diyi, Cui Hu also invited the ten princes to come to the mansion to drink, and after the ten princes returned to the imperial capital, they and the four princes also set up a mansion next to Kangyi's princess's mansion.
Jing Diyi's curiosity about him stemmed from Feng Michu's words, the Ten Princes had the style of her ancestors. She hadn't seen Gao Zu, in fact, there was no comparison.
But her maintenance of her family is almost extremely distorted, which Feng Mi should have known at the beginning. Gaozu has a different weight in her heart, and compares a yellow-haired child with her ancestors.
At least it can be seen that Feng Michu has a good evaluation of the Ten Princes.
After Cui Hu's brief introduction, the ten princes made a gesture first, and Emperor Jing said, "I have admired the name for a long time." ”
Cui Hu drank two glasses of rice wine, and talked about the period of youth and frivolity before the Ten Princes left the imperial capital to guard the tomb, he took Feng Michu and the Ten Princes to the casino, and also visited the Qinglou, "The three of us are graceful and graceful, and we have just stepped into that ......"
Fang Yingshou thought that the prodigal son would not change his money, and he didn't care about Cui Hu's absurd prowess, but he still pulled Cui Hu's sleeve.
Cui Hu reacted, it didn't matter if he was notorious, but the reputation of the ten princes of Feng Mi had to be taken care of. What's more, Feng Michu has not yet married, "I went to find flowers and ask Liu, but the two of them are really serious, and when they go to the Qinglou, they call the two girls to listen to the music and make a wine order." Nothing else did. ”
Jing Diyi said, "Can you and when Chaofeng University scholar practice wine order, I don't know which Qinglou girl is so beautiful and artistic? Yancui Building, Penglai Pavilion or Ningxiang Courtyard?"
These three are the largest brothels in the imperial capital, and dignitaries go to the most, Cui Hu was stunned, and it is usually men who are treasured in this regard, "How can the girl know this?"
The people began to serve the food, and Jing Diyi glanced at the dishes of Cui's Mansion to see if there was anything he hadn't tasted, "As the Marquis of Cui, what you like is definitely not the ones in the Willow Lane of the General Flower Street, but the Oiran in these three Qinglou is the most knowledgeable and interesting, and understands the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and is empathetic." ”
Feng Michu poured a glass of wine, Cui Hu banquet guests were never stingy, the banquet guests' wine was high-grade Sangluo wine, the ten princes joked, "The girl said as if she had been there." ”
Jing Diyi replied, "I've been there, not only have I been there, but I've also chartered a venue." ”
Feng Michu's hands trembled, thinking that she had done too many shocking things, as if visiting this Qinglou Chu Pavilion was the least worth mentioning among these, Feng Michu drank calmly.
Fang Yingshou looked at the maids who served the food, and had to order them not to chew the root of their tongues for a while, she said softly, "How can a good girl go to that kind of place." ”
Who said that he couldn't go, and there was no writing at the door that the girl couldn't go to the Qinglou, Jing Diyi said with a smile, "At that time, I just came to the imperial capital, and I wanted to see how this so-called gold nest was a gold selling method, so I disguised myself as a woman and brought silver taels." I've been to all three green houses, but I didn't use the silver I brought, and I brought it back intact. ”
Cui Hu also poured himself a glass of wine, "Why?"
He has also been to the three Qinglou, that is, the children of rich officials and eunuchs like him, who have a rich family background and can only afford to spend a lot of money, and ordinary people don't even dare to step into the threshold.
Jing Diyi recalled, "Those girls rushed to serve me, saying that even if I didn't give a penny, they were willing. A few others broke their heads in order to pour me wine. ”
Cui Hu regretted that he shouldn't have asked more, wasn't this asking for hardship, it hurt his self-esteem as a real man too much. He thought that Sister Bustard was talking about gold and not about heart, but it turned out that they also talked about heart and not gold, but the object was not for the handsome and chic him.
Jing Diyi added, "Isn't this strange? There are still girls in Nanban who know that I am a woman and have to marry me." ”
Cui Hu's heart ached faintly, wondering if he had internal injuries.
Li served soup on both sides and wore a plum blossom on his sideburns.
She knelt beside the Ten Princes, her eyebrows lowered, fiddling with the wine and food on the low table. The tenth prince smelled the faint fragrance of plums, and looked down to see Li Shuang, with a look of surprise on his face.
Jing Diyi turned the chopsticks in his hand and read softly, "The warm rain and sunny wind are beginning to break the freezing, and the willow eyes and plum cheeks are already moving." ”
Feng Michu smiled, "These words are not very appropriate. ”
She said, "I read it casually, I am only a shallow learner, and what else to talk about in the situation." ”
Feng Michu picked up the delicate dishes in front of him and chewed slowly.
After the banquet, Jing Diyi and Fang Yingshou agreed to come back seven days later to help her take the pulse.
