I don't know why, although the regulations of Luozhong Mansion are the same as those of Jingzhong, and there are fewer servants, there are far more general affairs than in Beijing. In addition to family affairs, there are also many entertainments to be sent. After Zheng Bo was robbed of his real job, these entertainments were already much less, but his mother frequently rewarded him on the road, and there were more affairs to be exchanged again.

For the past few months, I have been politely declining the invitations of many relatives on the pretext that living in the palace and making it difficult to enter and exit, but now as soon as people come out, they will be flooded with names, and the desks in the study are piled up.

Others, especially others, Wu Chenghe, who is the third product of the new Zhongshu Sect, Wu Sansi, who was also given the first place by Shangshanfang, Grandmother Qianjingu, Aunt Qinghe, and Aunt Xin'an, the invitations of these people are always shirkable.

Princess Qianjin and Princess Qinghe said that they were inviting the daughter of the clan to visit the river to enjoy the spring, but this is just it, but Princess Xin'an was in the name of the concubine, saying that she would invite the scribe to drink the poem, and invite our female dependents to watch at a separate table, Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi simply invited Zheng Bo directly, and Zheng Bo "brought" me to go - so Zheng Bo was not there, and I couldn't even go out to the banquet.

I really hate the etiquette and law constraints of this era, but no matter how disgusted I am, I can only find Zheng Bo back first, and I remembered that Liu Houde just mentioned this matter, so I didn't know something, so I sent several subordinate officials away, but secretly ordered the waiter to stop him, led him to the back hall, and asked about Zheng Bo's whereabouts euphemistically, Liu Houde was not ambiguous, and said directly: "I heard that there is a concubine Zhu in Sigongfang in the north of the city, and she has always been familiar with the concubine, and the princess may send someone to find out there." ”

I saw him smiling, as if he wanted to say goodbye, I was suspicious, and when I called Feng Shiliang, I gave a special advice, "Send someone to see first, if there is anything, come back to me first, don't make your own decision." Feng Shiliang summoned the two small lieutenants he usually needed, ordered them to dress up as ordinary servants, ride a mule to Sigongfang, and when he came back to report back, he said to me: "Princess Luling sent someone to congratulate you. ”

I just turned the text, I didn't see Ah Huan's words, it was unhappy, I heard that she sent someone to ask, Fang Jue's heart was comfortable, and he ordered someone to call in, and immediately saw her palace female official Xue Zhen lead two palace people in, both of them were wearing green clothes, holding lotus baskets, Tingting curled and saluted, and Xue Zhen presented the name of the gift list. As soon as I saw it, I knew that it was written by Ah Huan herself, and I glanced at her name repeatedly, and asked with a smile: "Is Sister-in-law okay?"

Xue Zhen said: "The princess is very good, her daily life is very modest, and Da Lang is now fine, with six meals a day, without stopping; ”

Two palace people handed over the basket, I stretched out my head to look, and I knew that it was a new millennium jujube cultivated in Lingnan this year, Ah Huan got this is the second batch, a few days earlier I have got a few big baskets here, but it is better than last year's foreign tribute, I don't know how she remembered to send me this - but as long as she sent it, even if it is a rotten jujube, I like it just as much.

I took a basket, and I ate one, and although it was not as big as the one I had got, it was also soft and soft. The taste is sweet, reward the three people, wait for everyone to go away, and sit on the couch, carry the basket, eat while lifting, eat a few, see that there is a small round box made of wicker, the box is a square folded small paper, when opened to see, it is a handwriting of A Huan, telling me to eat half a basket of Persian dates a day, drink more pepper soup, do not go out at will, etc., I saw this tone, I knew her intentions: last month was slightly inaccurate, when I came to abdominal pain for two days, I didn't care much about myself, she was worried about it, this month will be the time, Baba sent someone to send two baskets of dates, in fact, it is intended to remind, but not really to send me food- Obviously worried about me, but he still refused to say it clearly, twisting and twisting in a big circle, and I don't know who I learned from.

I have always been healthy in this matter, and I can't help but laugh and worry a lot in my heart, but she is just so generous, in the end I went out to ask people to prepare Persian dates, sheep soup and other things at any time in the past few days, reminding me, and when I came back, I carefully read the gift list she gave, what silver sachets, mosquito repellent pills, Su Hexiang, eye medicine bottles, hoopoes, angelica, prickly honey, all kinds of linen, cotton, silk, silk, and all kinds of Teng paper, pine paper and other daily things, and a pair of interstitials.

I called someone to bring Ah Huan's gift to the eyes, one by one, one by one, the side of the upside down, the interstitial screen is very exquisite, although the height is not more than a foot, not divided, but it is carved with excellent sandalwood, the four corners are inlaid with diamond flowers, the middle side is carved with a small child bow, and the other side is embedded with a lady swing silk painting. In the painting, the person sitting on the swing has delicate eyebrows, fair complexion, and slender body, while the person pushing the swing is thin and yellowish.

At that time, my mother summoned the daughter and daughter-in-law of the martial arts, even Li Bin's wife, Ah Huan and I played in the garden together, and ordered someone to write a photo to keep a memory, I was impatient with so many people, so I took care of myself on the swing, Ah Huan came to talk to me, and pushed the swing for me a few times, but it was remembered by the painter, and we were painted on the right side of the frame, and this interstitial screen was copied on this corner - my Ah Huan is so meticulous, although the mouth may not often say some intimate words, but the things that are done are all heartwarming.

I happily ordered someone to put away Ah Huan's gifts, and I received the two baskets of Persian dates, but I felt happy in my heart, and even the boring text became pleasing to the eye, and I sat down for a while, and before I knew it, it was already afternoon, and after dinner, I saw Feng Shiliang probing his brain at the door, and the old face looked very melancholy, and called in to ask, but he summoned the two little eunuchs who had just been sent out, and then said to me: " Back to the mother's words, the people sent to Sigongfang saw that the horse now lives in the easternmost part of the North Third Street of Fang, and in addition to the old lady Zhu, there is also her daughter Zhu Miaoer. ”

I didn't come back to my senses for a while, and said, "Then did you invite him back?" As soon as the words came out, I saw Feng Shiliang's face become extremely strange, he took a step closer, lowered his voice, and said: "That Zhu Miao'er... It is the outer chamber of the colt. ”

My face also became a little delicate, and I didn't know how to react for a while, so I only murmured: "Are you really inquiring?

Feng Shiliang glanced at the two little ones, and one of them paused on the ground and said: "The little people are also afraid that they are wrong, so they specially inquired around, and several women on that street are all raising children, called mother and daughter, but in fact, they are all prostitutes." A certain also asked the neighbors, saying that the horse has lived there for several months, sometimes three days and one to, sometimes five days and one to, at first it was not more than one night, and then there were two or three days, but the last ten days have been living in the Zhu family, when the horse goes, it is often only three or two gray heads, wearing green, White, don't want people to know, but because he is handsome, generous, so the neighbors remember it really, will not admit mistakes, the villain and others have also inquired about that Zhu Miaoer, her fake mother is a musician who made a book in the left teaching workshop of Luozhong, because of old age and decrepitude, he was exempted from military service, and raised three daughters, Zhu Miaoer is elder, can be fifteen or sixteen years old, and has not seen it in person, only to hear the neighbors say that she is very fair-skinned, and sings well. ”

This kid is very thoughtful, and his words are clear, I took my eyes to see Feng Shiliang, Feng Shiliang immediately bowed forward, and said in a low voice: "The old slave took someone and took the Zhu family's family and sent it to the Luoyang County Pavilion for punishment?"

Although this matter was unexpected by me, it was also reasonable, and I had Ah Huan in my heart, so I was not very angry about this matter, I thought about it for a while, and said to Feng Shiliang: "Send someone there to talk to the horse, just say that there is something at home, and ask him to come back, don't alarm the neighbors." After a pause, he said: "This is a private matter at home, don't let others know, especially don't let A-Niang know." ”

Feng Shiliang was very uneven, I remembered that Liu Houde specially mentioned Zheng Bo, so he ordered him to call Liu Houde, but this family order seemed to be waiting for me, as soon as he was summoned, his face was calm when he entered, not like a family order from the seventh grade, but like the eight seats in the court, I saw his pretentious appearance, faintly had some headaches, impatiently said more, and said directly: "I already know about the matter of the outer room of the mana, and I will tell Liu Jun about it." But between you and me, you don't have to be so roundabout, if you have something in the future, just talk to me directly. ”

Liu Houde smiled and saluted, and said, "It is a princess's family order, and everything is ordered by the princess." ”

He bites the words "princess family order" very hard, as if I am afraid that I do not know his loyalty, I now also know his mind, but it is the first time to meet, I want to probe my mind, if I am the person who does not know the world and let others deceive people, or the family horse is smart and strong, I am afraid that he will not be the performance at this time, and now he is willing to say the four words "princess family order", I think he has recognized me as the lord of the house - but I don't know how much this loyalty can be, and how long can it be maintained?

People are snobbish at the time, especially in officialdom, this atmosphere is very disgusting, but I was born in the emperor's house, in the field of fame and fortune, no matter how tired I am, I can only calm down and nod to him reservedly: "Liu Jun is well-versed in affairs, understands etiquette and righteousness, and is really an assistant to good talents." In the future, foreign affairs in the government will have to work hard for Liujun. ”(. Just love the net)
