Chapter 113: Small Talk
Pei Gu continued to nod, hesitating in his heart, whether to sue her about Concubine Zhou Shu and the fourth prince, but seeing that Hui Zhi had already gotten into the car, she lowered the curtain, and thought that this place was not a place to talk after all, so she waved her hand at the guards at the gate of the palace, and drove out with the carriage of the emblem of the Hou Mansion of Cheng'an.
Hui Zhi sat in the car, and inexplicably felt that when Senior Brother Pei was holding her shoulder, the temperature of her palm could penetrate the fabric, and she even felt that her shoulder was warm and warm.
It feels weird.
Pei Lan, who followed her out of the Cheng'an Hou Mansion and had been waiting for her by the carriage at the gate of the palace, took out a plate of small snacks from the box and handed it over: "I brought it with me when I went out in the morning, and I kept it next to the stove and simmered, it will still be hot, let's eat a mat." ”
"No need." Hui Zhi looked a little tired, "I accompanied the Queen Mother to eat, the kitchen is finely cooked, it tastes good, and I don't feel hungry." As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, "Aunt Sun, is there any movement there?" ”
Originally, I wanted to pick out the matter of Aunt Sun before entering the palace, so I broke the eyeliner of the second room first, but I didn't expect that after Xifang went to find Duan's mother, Duan's mother said, "If you are not sure, you should stand still and wait for the opportunity to hit with one blow, otherwise, who knows how close the connection between the two sides is?" Don't startle the snake. ”
Only then did Hui Zhi realize her miscalculation, so she asked someone to secretly investigate, and Ah Zhu became more and more familiar with Congyi Courtyard, occasionally entering and leaving Aunt Lin's house, which was a good time for Duoduo to investigate.
"Aunt Sun often makes some embroidery pieces, embroiders some novel patterns or scriptures, Aunt Torin goes out to take out, for a long time, many people in the backyard are known, but recently the second lady is very busy, the second room backyard is negligent management, recently found that Aunt Sun's hands and feet are particularly unclean, sometimes even secretly take the second master's calligraphy and painting hidden in the embroidery room to go out and sell."
Qin Huaien, the second master of Cheng'an Houfu. Serving in the Hanlin Academy, although the people are romantic, the calligraphy and painting can be regarded as first-class, and they are also well-known in the capital. There are often people who come to the door to ask for calligraphy and painting, and over time, Qin Huaien's temper is also used to it, and he does not agree to others to paint.
Hui Zhi smiled lightly, this Aunt Sun. can really see the stitches, and they will always look for good opportunities.
After Pei Lan finished speaking, she saw that Hui Zhi's face was not very good when she left the palace gate, and she asked with some worry: "Is it still smooth in the palace today?" Did the concubines in the harem embarrass the girl? ”
"It's not embarrassing." Hui Zhi shook her head, "I'm just afraid that I'm going to marry Miss Shen from now on." Then he told her about the things in the palace of filial piety.
As soon as he stopped talking, before he could talk about the fact that the Empress Dowager had summoned Senior Brother Pei to come when she was dining with the Empress Dowager, the carriage had already slowly stopped in front of the second gate in the Cheng'an Hou Mansion.
Duan's mother came to pick her up in person and welcomed her into Jiamutang.
Qin Weien and the Wang family were both waiting for her in Jiamu Hall.
***
After sleeping for half an hour at noon, the Empress Dowager pulled the eldest princess of Xinglong to speak.
The eldest princess of Xinglong watched the county lord of Ren'an play outside with the palace people, turned her head to the empress dowager and asked, "Miss Qin is so young. Why did the queen mother mention that they should be married earlier? ”
The Empress Dowager looked at her and sighed softly: "Pei Gu, that child, has had a hard time all these years. What a good child, he has no mother since he was a child, Yang is a shameless person, and he ruined his reputation so much, just think about it, what kind of life does he usually live? Otherwise, how could he leave the capital and wander outside for so many years? ”
The eldest princess of Xinglong nodded when she heard this, "But in case they get married early." If there is no harmony in the future, wouldn't it be even worse? ”
The Empress Dowager smiled slyly: "You only care about looking at Ren'an, don't you see it, Pei Gu looked at the appearance of the little girl Qin." Tut-tut, it's really like his father looking at his mother back then, where can there be disharmony? ”
The eldest princess of Xinglong's eyes darkened.
Mrs. Xianwu Weihou is very good with her.
The Empress Dowager didn't see the sudden dimness in her eyes, and then said happily: "If you want me to say, the two of them should just get married after the summer, and find someone who knows etiquette to help them pass the six ceremonies quickly." Marry back early, it's better to celebrate the New Year! ”
The eldest princess of Xinglong was amused by her words, "poof": "What are you talking about!" It's just spring, and it's not too early for next year's New Year! ”
The Empress Dowager said: "If you listen to the words of the women in the capital, you will know how stupid and incapable the current wife of Wu Weihou is!" Pei Xiaozi is out now, her face is beaten, if the bride enters the Wuwei Houfu at this time, the back house will naturally be able to receive the bride. Let's Pei boy, so we don't have to worry about the unrest of the house. ”
"You're right, you're right, I haven't thought of this yet." The eldest princess of Xinglong said peacefully, "But since you can see that Pei Shizi is very fond of Miss Qin, no matter how you say it, Little Miss Qin is too young, how can she be in charge of a middle feed of Wuwei Houfu?" ”
"You really don't hear anything outside the window - what's the most talked about thing in the capital during the Chinese New Year? Isn't it Mrs. Cheng'anhou's old clam and pregnant again? Who is Mrs. Cheng'anhou? Isn't that Miss Qin's mother? The Empress Dowager smiled happily, but the eldest princess was a little confused.
"Could this be anything else?"
"You, you, you, you've been spoiled by the Li family kid all these years, and your brain is rusty!" The Empress Dowager pointed to her little daughter's head and doted on her.
The eldest princess of Xinglong was embarrassed for a while - everyone in the capital knew that although the general of Zhenguo and the eldest princess of Xinglong were married by the first emperor, they were still husband and wife, and the flounder was deeply affectionate, and it was once a good story.
The Empress Dowager looked at the eldest princess of Xinglong with a smile, and her mood seemed to be twelve points good today: "Before summoning the little girl Qin, I asked someone to inquire about the news of the Cheng'an Hou Mansion. Cheng Anhou is also a person who loves his wife very much, his wife is pregnant again, he doesn't let her take care of the affairs of the inner house, but the lady of the second room is busy with the marriage of the girl in the second room, oh, that girl is your daughter-in-law who has not passed the door; Cheng'an Hou's mother has long been out of business, like an outsider every day, who is in charge of this huge Hou Mansion? ”
"Could it be that it's Miss Qin Liu?" The eldest princess of Xinglong was stunned for a moment, and she was very surprised.
"Not really! Otherwise, how could an innocent little girl be so calm and calm under such a big battle in the harem today? Have you seen the appearance of the little girl of the Shen family? I really don't deserve Princess Mu. "When it comes to Shen Rui, the Queen Mother doesn't like it in her heart. (To be continued.) )
