Chapter 111: Zhou Shaoning's New Courtyard
"Why, my cousin has other ideas or places to go. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Gu Yuanmiao asked again: "Or, who did my cousin make an appointment with?"
Chu Ziyan hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no." Let's go now. ”
"Let's go together, then. ”
"Good. ”
Chu Ziyan got into the carriage, looked at Chen Yijing, who looked a little depressed, and said, "I didn't know if I could meet my aunt and cousin here, shouldn't they be in the palace on the outskirts of Beijing now? Why did this come out?"
"I'm not going to go down later, I'll stay in the car until you come out, I'll go out again, and I'll be fine." ”
Chu Ziyan looked indifferent and said, "Anyway, it is the princess's mansion, and there are heavy guards around, you can come out, I admire you." ”
"I'll just pretend to be your coachman's attendant. ”
Chu Ziyan pointed at herself with her index finger and said, "Are you sure you want to be the retinue, if my mother knew about it, she would beat me." ”
"Just don't tell her. ”
Chu Ziyan glanced at her and said, "You think, if you don't say it, my mother won't know." ”
"Isn't it?"
"Do you really think that Cousin Gu Yuanmiao and Aunt Gu didn't see you just now, or didn't feel that there was anyone else in the car?"
"Both of them are people who don't learn martial arts, so they can't hear it. ”
Chu Ziyan smiled silently.
"Mother, did you say that there were still people sitting in the carriage just now? Otherwise, why would my cousin get out of the carriage, she would just sit on the carriage and open the curtain. ”
Wang smiled: "Then guess who it is?"
"My daughter can't guess, my cousin is already old, and she is almost thirteen. It's the age when love first opens, maybe there will be a man hidden in it. ”
"You are really poor," Wang said, "your cousin should not be that kind of person, she is not very bold." Also, will the student you invited arrive today?"
"Mother, don't worry, Xiao Yifeng will definitely arrive. That was Zhou Shaoning's friend, and he would definitely come early in the morning. ”
"That's good," Wang said with a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect that this time the Holy Lord would actually value the courtyard of our mansion and settle those people." And let us live in the side hall of the palace, which also made your grandfather see the situation clearly. Got it, it's not a good thing to marry the royal family. ”
Gu Yuanmiao said: "Why did you go to the side hall, my grandfather realized it." ”
"When your grandfather was in the side hall, he saw that His Majesty was entangled by a crazy palace man. And it just so happened that that person was none other than the favorite concubine who was famous back then. I don't know what else happened in between, but after that day, your grandfather broke his mind.
Your grandmother even began to give me explicit hints that I should find you a good mother-in-law. The official position and identity are not important, the important thing is to have a good character. Therefore, this time you not only want to meet Zhou Shaoning, but also other students who have been invited. There weren't many people invited this time, but they were all good candidates. ”
"However, under the will of the draft, I can't run away. Gu Yuanmiao said: "Although my daughter doesn't want to marry, I don't want to see you implicated." ”
"Silly girl, we just need to marry the royal family, can you understand this sentence?"
"Marriage?" Gu Yuanmiao said: "In other words, whether I marry or who among my brothers marries the princess and county lord, this is okay?"
Wang nodded and said, "Your brother has come back from training, and he met His Majesty when he went to the side hall, and His Majesty took a fancy to him." ”
Gu Yuanmiao's eyes widened and said, "What do you mean by taking a fancy to it, is it that the saint is good Longyang?"
"Where do you want to go, Your Majesty has taken a fancy to your brother and wants to recruit him as a colt. ”
"Recruit as a colt?" Gu Yuanmiao looked at her mother in surprise and said loudly: "Mother, are you sure that your brother can be a good colt?"
"Your second brother's temperament is a little out of the box, so he is not suitable for entering the officialdom. If I can be a rich idler, I think it's good. ”
"But does my brother agree?"
"Your brother and him?" Wang said: "Your Majesty hasn't leaked yet, but he just praised your brother." ”
"The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, mother, you're too imaginative. ”
"After that, I asked your brother if he was married, and he also said who was lucky enough to marry your brother. ”
Gu Yuanmiao hurriedly sat up straight and said, "That's a bit interesting." By the way, mother, what did you say at that time?"
"Silly girl, where am I here, it's your father who is there. Wang said: "Your father reacted at the time, saying that a manly husband must make meritorious contributions in order to have a family."
After that, His Majesty smiled and left, and when he left, let your brother go by often. ”
"Where did you go in the past?" Gu Yuanmiao said: "There is a side hall, although the layout inside is good, but it is too uncomfortable to stay in it with too many rules." ”
"Therefore, your father is reluctant to let you enter the palace, but wants your brothers to be the master. ”
"Oh. ”
"Speaking of which, the new courtyard we are going to see today seems to have been given to Zhou Shaoning by His Majesty. I heard that it used to be the place of the princess of the former dynasty, but it was later changed to a nunnery. Later, something happened in this nunnery, and it was accepted by the imperial court. In the end, it was given to Zhou Shaoning, which could be used as his mansion in the future. ”
"But that's too biased. Gu Yuanmiao said: "It's been a while since I got in the carriage." ”
"It's okay, it should be almost there. ”
Sure enough, after two more teas, the carriage stopped.
Pei Lang came down from inside, and as soon as he came down, he took a hard breath and said, "It's better outside, it's too aggrieved inside." ”
"Who just now has been boasting that the things in it are delicious and everything is very good, why is it that now that he has arrived in the place, he dislikes this carriage. ”
"Yes, it's good inside, it's comfortable to sit on, and there's a lot of stuff. As long as you want to eat, there is no shortage of stir-fried vegetables and snacks and shochu. But are you reluctant to put up a few more curtains, get a window? ”
"That's because this carriage can prevent people from shooting arrows and fire attacks. Such a good thing is worthless to be criticized by you. In the future, you will not ride in my carriage. ”
Pei Lang didn't get angry, but then asked, "Have you been in trouble lately, otherwise you would need this kind of carriage?"
"When don't I have any trouble?" Zhou Shaoning said, "I'm used to it." ”
Pei Lang followed behind him and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Go to my new yard. ”
"New courtyard?" Pei Lang looked at the more and more carriages behind him and stopped at the door, and asked, "Why are there so many carriages coming?"
