Chapter 53: The Zhao Family

Shang Shuling commanded six departments, and Zhongshu Ling, and his subordinates did not have the position of prime minister, and he was in a high position. Today's Zhongshu Ling Zhao Zhong is the brother of the harem concubine, and Qin Sheren's fiancée came to Mrs. Zhao's birthday banquet to present a song, which is not condescending, and Huang Shaoqing obviously does not plan to tell others her identity.

"This is Yang Lezheng's daughter and the young lady of his distant family. Huang Shaoqing said.

Yu Mingzhi and Yang Run congratulated Mrs. Zhao on her birthday.

Mrs. Zhao smiled happily, boasting that the daughters of the Yang family were like flowers and jade, and asked them if they had settled on someone.

"Not yet. Yang Run glanced at Yu Mingzhi and said first.

Mrs. Zhao thought that she had also answered for the sisters around her, and said with a smile: "Such a well-behaved and quiet girl will definitely have a good family." After a while, a few young ladies will get together to have fun, so you can go too. ”

"Yes, old lady. Yang Run and Yu Mingzhi stepped back and saw that the gongs and drums on the stage were about to sing, and they were the most famous and difficult to invite opera troupes in Beijing. And they were invited by the left servant of Shangshu Province, who shot Sang Haiyuan, and he ran to Zhao Zhong with a smile on his face to ask for credit.

Yu Mingzhi can understand why Huang Shaoqing would find the young lady of the Lezheng family for no reason and have fun at Mrs. Zhao's birthday banquet.

There is no shortage of artists in the capital who play and sing music, but these official eunuchs think that they are from low backgrounds and are unwilling to let them dirty their own territory. And the music of Taichang Temple only serves the royal family, or appears at the time of sacrifice, and if other families invite them to go, it is overstepping. But it doesn't matter if you invite your sons and daughters who have been carefully educated by Lezheng.

However, the problem is that she and Zhu'er have inquired, Qin Ji and Zhao Zhong have always been at odds with each other, and recently Zhao Zhong and King Yi have appeared in the same restaurant with their front and back feet, and the two of them have a lot of contacts with their henchmen. Huang Shaoqing didn't know their relationship, or did he intend to bring his relationship as Qin Ji's fiancée to them.

Yu Mingzhi had doubts, so he obediently followed Yang Run's side, not daring to look around casually.

Huang Shaoqing followed for a while and said with a smile: "Thank you Miss Yang and Miss Guo for having fun today, it can solve Siqing's headache." I will say a few more kind words in front of Siqing. As he spoke, he took out two small red envelopes from his sleeves and stuffed them into the hands of the two girls, "On the old lady's birthday, the two young ladies will have fun together." ”

Huang Shaoqing was polite. Yang Run lost the restraint that he had in front of Mrs. Zhao, and returned to his original cute appearance, "It's my honor to play the piano in front of Mrs. Zhao, and my father will praise me." ”

"Haha. Huang Shaoqing smirked twice, looked at Yu Mingzhi, and said embarrassedly: "I didn't say it in advance, I can't tell Miss Guo's identity like the old lady, I'm really sorry." ”

Yu Mingzhi blinked blankly, "Just now...... Huang Shaoqing didn't say my name?"

"Huh?" Huang Shaoqing frowned slightly.

Yu Mingzhi lowered his head slightly, "I was too nervous just now, I didn't hear what Huang Shaoqing and Old Madam Zhao said." ”

Huang Shaoqing sneered, "Oh, it's nothing." Miss Yang, Miss Guo, go to the flower hall over there to eat and play with the ladies. I'm an old man, and I won't bother your Yaxing. ”

Yang Run bowed, "Uncle Huang walks slowly." ”

As soon as Huang Shaoqing left, Yang Run grabbed Yu Mingzhi's arm and followed behind the Zhao family's maid, "I don't know if Lin Wanwan and Xu Zhiyao have come." ”

She didn't know much about those court disputes, and she didn't know the relationship between Qin Ji and Zhao Zhong, and she only thought about her good sisters in her heart.

Yu Mingzhi said: "Don't we know after we see it in the past?" With the family background of the Lin and Xu families, and they are in the Qin Ji faction, I am afraid it is impossible to come to the Zhao family. However, Lin Wanwan and Xu Zhiyao are too good news for her to spy on, but the guests of the Zhao family today are different, and they may be able to find something new.

It's just that...... She pretended to hold the bead hairpin on her bun and looked around.

There are too many people, guests, performers, Zhao family maids, and family members, come and go, and it is impossible to tell whether they are watching them or not.

Yu Mingzhi didn't dare to move, and after coming to the flower hall, he followed Yang Run to meet the young ladies who came to visit today, and the most dazzling of them was Zhao Zhong's youngest daughter, Zhao Mengrui. A girl of fifteen or sixteen years of age, with a face like a delicate and bright flower, with a hairpin of freshly picked flowers on her head, and a bright peach-colored dress embroidered with beautiful flowers and delicate butterflies, swayed as if she had come to life in her jumping.

Most of the people circled around Zhao Mengrui, talking and laughing.

And the daughter of the Lezheng family has no need to stutter, so after getting to know each other for a while, Yu Mingzhi and Yang Run were left out in the corner of the flower hall.

The scenery of Zhao's garden is very good, small bridges and flowing water, rockery flowers and trees, a group of white pigeons walking around on the grass, there are just two maids to scatter pigeon food, Yu Mingzhi proposed that they go to play.

Yu Mingzhi ran around by feeding the pigeons, and observed the surroundings again.

Sure enough, there was a little girl hiding behind the rockery to probe her brain, and after finding out that Yu Mingzhi was looking at her, she quickly pretended to be sweeping the floor.

Yu Mingzhi lowered his gaze, picked up a pigeon, and stroked and teased it in his arms.

Just right, Zhao Mengrui and a group of girls came out, saw them feeding the pigeons, and sneered: "Is there a shortage of maids in our house?"

The big girl behind her, Yun'er, said, "There are too many guests invited today." ”

A shrill laugh rang out.

Although Le Zheng's official position is small, Yang Run grew up in the palm of his father's hand since he was a child, and the sisters he interacted with were all amiable.

She was just about to refute two sentences, but Yu Mingzhi grabbed her arm.

Zhao Mengrui and the others thought they were timid and afraid, so they laughed again, and then went to the garden to enjoy the flowers with arrogance.

Yang Run said: "She looks down on us like this, how can she not theorize? If you know that Sister Baozhi is the fiancée of Qin Sheren, do you dare to be so arrogant?"

"Why bother with those men? Although Yu Mingzhi was displeased, she couldn't bear it, she wanted to stay in the Zhao family for a while, so she couldn't tear her face now. "With your brother-in-law here, I'm afraid that when I don't raise my eyebrows in the future? Huang Shaoqing didn't say who I was just now, maybe there is some taboo, Sister Run'er, don't say it. ”

"Okay...... Yang Run had to agree, and sighed: "If Wanwan and them are also there, we will have fun." ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "With me here, you are still afraid of loneliness." She tugged at Yang Run's arm, "Let's go, let's go over there and have a look." ”

She took Yang Run to follow behind Zhao Mengrui from a distance, pretending to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and secretly looked out of the corner of her eye, and found that the maid was really following all the way.
