Chapter 137
Huaizhen vaguely heard about Ying Yu, but he couldn't afford to ask, because of the seizure last night, he cried a lot, but he felt better, but when he got up in the morning, his eyes were still slightly swollen, and the maid took a tea bag and put a compress on her eyes.
Unexpectedly, when I heard that someone in the palace was coming, my heart suddenly fluttered again, and I agreed with the words of "marriage" that Ling Jue said last night, and stood for a long time, just thinking: "Could it be so fast?"
Although his heart was pounding, he had no other way, so he only asked the maid to change her clothes, and thought to herself: "How do you want to come, it's a big deal, and I will never marry him." ”
It's just that Li Xianshu was very worried when she saw her like that yesterday, afraid that her body was not right, and she deliberately didn't let her enter the palace, but she was already urging her.
Huai Zhen instead comforted Li Xianshu and said, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine, I was just angry and willful yesterday." ”
Li Xianshu saw her big since she was a child, although she was also playing in Taizhou, but she was not as tossed as yesterday, and secretly interrogated the maid a few times, but it was still the same as yesterday, Li Xianshu thought about it, because she often entered the house because of Ling Jue, and she was very close to Ying Lanfeng recently, so she made up her mind, and when Ling Jue came again, she asked him well to see what the problem was.
said that Huaizhen said goodbye to Li Xianshu, so he followed the eunuch into the palace.
Slowly entered the main hall, stepped forward to meet Emperor Cheng, just calmed down and watched the changes.
Unexpectedly, after Emperor Cheng called Pingshen, not far from his side, a voice laughed: "Your Majesty the Emperor, but Hugh wants to coax the minister, this is the person you are talking about?"
Huai Zhen listened to the voice of the voice a little twisted, quite strange, couldn't help but turn his head to look, suddenly stunned, and saw not far from his side, there was a man in a strange costume standing, his skin was a little dark, and a pair of dark eyes stared at her unscrupulously.
Huai Zhen was a little puzzled, but he heard Emperor Cheng laugh and said, "What, don't you believe it?"
The man looked up again and said, "This is just a little girl, how can she make such a strange and magical incense?"
When Huaizhen heard this, he understood a little. Sure enough, Emperor Cheng said: "I have a saying in China, called 'heroes have come out of youth since ancient times', and it is said that 'ambition is not old, and there is no ambition to live a hundred years old'. ”
The man clasped his hands in front of his chest, bowed upwards, and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, and it is indeed the minister who is short-sighted. ”
Emperor Cheng then said to Huai Zhen and Yan Yuese: "Huai Zhen, you probably don't know, this is the envoy of the Shaluo country, the day before yesterday, because I told him in the rare bird garden, he didn't believe it, he was very curious, he had to see the person who made the incense, and today he specially announced that you entered the palace." ”
Only then did Huai Zhen understand the reason for this, and Hengzhi was not a marriage, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that Emperor Cheng was happy for a while, and wanted to show off in front of foreign envoys, so he mentioned the fragrance that could make cranes dance.
The envoy had been in the capital for a few days, and Ben had heard about it, so he was naturally curious and didn't know whether it was true or not. At this moment, when he saw Emperor Cheng mention it, he was in his arms, so he only pretended not to believe it.
Emperor Cheng asked someone to take the piece of cold incense made by Huaizhen, so that people held it into the crane flock, and sure enough, they saw a wonderful and wonderful scene.
The messenger listened to some flowery rumors, but there were still four or five doubts in his heart, but after witnessing it with his own eyes, he was very convinced, and said some flattering words, and pestered Emperor Cheng, wanting to see the person who made incense, so Emperor Cheng agreed, and specially summoned Huaizhen into the palace.
After the messenger bowed upward, he looked at Huaizhen again, looked at her upward, and muttered something in the Mandarin of Saros that he did not understand.
Huaizhen didn't know what he was talking about, so he didn't care.
But the messenger said in Chinese, "Little girl, I don't know how this incense is made?
Huai Zhen saw that his eyes were just rolling around on him, so he lowered his eyes and said: "If you say it, you can't finish it for a while, and it's complicated, indescribable reads();." ”
The envoy smiled and said, "It's nothing, but our country of Shaluo is famous for a lot of spices, and there are countless perfumers, but no one can make such an excellent incense. As he spoke, he also saluted Huaizhen with his palms.
Huaizhen had no choice but to bend his knees slightly and return the salute.
So safe and sound, he went out of the palace, and when he returned home, Li Xianshu was relieved.
Let's say that because of Chunhui, Ying Pei is old, and recently because of high school, he has been released from his official position, so it has become more and more popular, and there are many people who come to kiss.
Mrs. Ying also heard about it one by one, and Chunhui's is fine...... Because Chunhui's temperament is good, he is very picky, and he has been saying that he doesn't like the young ladies of several families, so he has to take it seriously more and more, and then choose carefully.
But first to Ying Pei fancy a family, is the daughter of Guanglu Temple Shaoqing, it is said that she was born very good-looking, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Ying Lao Taijun was full of praise, so he advocated that it should be decided first, Li Xianshu listened, because he hadn't seen the girl yet, he didn't dare to agree first, so he turned back to discuss with Ying Lanfeng.
Ying Lanfeng said: "Don't delay Pei'er, but you have to meet on the spot......"
Li Xianshu got this sentence, so she secretly pondered, and finally on this day, she smiled with Mrs. Ying: "Spring is blooming, the flowers in the yard are also blooming, and it will be Mrs. Niang's birthday in two days, so it is better to take the opportunity to invite the wives and girls of all families who are good friends to come over and have fun together." ”
Because of the old lady's approval, Li Xianshu also called someone and sent a post to the family of Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple.
Coincidentally, the day before, Grandma Xu came from Youxian County and came into the house to visit her daughters and sons-in-law.
When Mrs. Ying heard that it was the old man of the Li family, she naturally wanted to meet her, and after greeting Grandma Xu for a long time, she set up a meal in the hall, and called the grandmothers and girls in each room to have a lively meal together.
It's just because Xu Yuan was sick because Ying Yu was angry and didn't come, so only Li Xianshu was busy alone, and Grandma Chen couldn't help but accompany her, although everyone was eating, the two of them couldn't sit down.
Although Grandma Xu had also entered the house once or twice before, she only said a few words and returned to the East Courtyard, and she had never seen such a scene, and she didn't know what to do for a while, but fortunately, the old man was alert, so he only learned from others in everything, and concocted it in the same way, plus Li Xianshu was on the side to take care of it, so although the action was rusty, he was happy and did not make a fool of himself.
That night, Huaizhen asked Grandma Xu to sleep in the same room with him, and Grandma Xu was also very happy because she loved her granddaughter.
Seeing this, Li Xianshu asked someone to send some snacks, fruits, hazelnuts and peanuts and waited, and went to the outside to be busy.
Huaizhen accompanied Grandma Xu, sat at the table, and ate and talked freely.
The two of them gossiped for a while, and Huaizhen also told Li Huo about running to meet, and praised Li Huo in the truth, and sure enough, Grandma Xu was very happy, smiled for a while, and then sighed: "In our family, this can be regarded as lucky...... When I went to Taizhou to look for you before, I thought that my family was about to be broken up...... Where did you think there would be today?"
Huaizhen swallowed the melon seeds, and said with a smile: "Grandma's blessings are great, why mention the previous ones, in the future, my cousin will be even more prosperous, grandma just enjoy the blessings." ”
Grandma Xu nodded, shook Huaizhen's little hand, and said, "Brother Zhen, although you don't say anything, grandma's heart is like a mirror...... Our Li family can have this now, in fact, thanks to your reads();. ”
Huai Zhen was stunned for a moment, muttered, Grandma Xu had tears in her eyes, hurriedly raised her sleeves and wiped them, and said, "You kid...... It's just that there are a lot of things on your mind, I heard your mother say, the day before yesterday, you didn't know why you lost your temper?
Huaizhen lowered her head, and when Grandma Xu saw her silently, she said, "Grandma is already this age...... I haven't seen anyone, I haven't experienced anything, almost all of the sweet and bitter, salty and spicy in this world have been tasted, but when I was a child, I saw that you were different from others, as if there were ten thousand things hidden in my heart...... I've heard people say that there was a rebellion in Yunnan a few years ago, but it happened to be your aunt's house...... I don't know how many people were killed or wounded, if your uncle had moved with him a few years earlier, where would they still be there, where would your cousin still be?"
Huaizhen said: "Grandma, what are you doing just talking about this?"
Grandma Xu said: "That day, you gave your own gold collar to grandma, I looked at your eyes, and it seemed that I understood, you don't want your uncle to go, and you also miss your cousin...... Then I thought, where is this child's eyes?"
Huaizhen's eyes couldn't help but redden, Grandma Xu smiled, said earnestly, and said: "Although you have something in your heart, but if you don't say it, there must be a truth that can't be said, and Grandma naturally doesn't dare to ask...... Just good boy...... No matter what, if you want to be more open, don't just care about the good of others, but bury all the pain in your own heart?"
When Huaizhen heard this, he couldn't help but sob, just for fear that Grandma Xu would become more and more worried, so he had to hold back quickly and took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears.
Seeing this, Grandma Xu smiled and said: "I was trying to persuade you to be happy, but it provoked your tears, but it's just that I'm confused." ”
Huai Zhen hurriedly said: "Grandma, I didn't say that, it was in my heart...... I cried when I was happy. ”
Grandma Xu looked at her carefully, seeing that she was delicate and tearful, Chu Chu was lovely, her eyes were clear, and she seemed to be able to understand people's hearts, and the more she looked, the more she felt pity and love, so she got closer, hugged Huaizhen's shoulders, gently hugged her in her arms, and sighed and said: "A good boy like you will inevitably meet a good person who loves you and knows you in the future...... Grandma is the most effective when she speaks, and she doesn't cry anymore. ”
When Huaizhen heard this, he burst into tears and laughed, and said, "I just said some good things that I know and know, and I turned my head and teased me again." ”
Grandma Xu smiled: "Outsiders say it's a joke, but grandma tells you that every word is really true." Good boy. ”
As he spoke, he took his hand and wiped away the tears on Huaizhen's face little by little, and looked at it carefully through the light, and said with a smile: "My granddaughter like a fairy, like a jewel, I am afraid that it will not be proper to hold it in the palm of my hand, and I don't know if there will be that blessed person in the future......"
When Huai Zhen heard her say this again, he got into her old man's arms and said, "It's getting more and more unserious...... Grandma said that I would not follow it. Seeing that she was seriously ashamed, Grandma Xu stopped with a smile.
The next day, sure enough, there was a big feast in the mansion, and it was almost noon, and the people who came to celebrate the birthday gradually arrived, including the daughter of Zhu Shaoqing, who had a banquet with his wife.
Li Xianshu looked at her coldly, and saw that this young lady was really born with a beautiful appearance, and her conversation was also good, and she was not faulty in her demeanor. Mrs. Ying also seemed to like it very much, and held her hand and said for a long time.
Seeing this, Li Xianshu liked it in her heart, so she secretly asked someone to bring Ying Pei in, wanting him to take a sneak look at it first.
After a while, Ying Pei really came, Li Xianshu pulled him, stopped behind the window, pointed to which one was Miss Zhu, and said in a low voice: "Pei'er, take a look carefully, don't be ashamed, horizontal and vertical is a major event in your life, and you must be happy yourself." ”
Ying Pei knew that Li Xianshu specially invited someone from the Zhu family to come over for herself, and she was grateful not to mention it, so she had to take a closer look at it for a while, but saw that although Miss Zhu was not stunning, she was also beautiful and moving, and it was not bad to look at the conversation from a distance, so she nodded reads();.
Seeing this, Li Xianshu was also relieved, so she pushed him with a smile and said, "Since you like it too, my mother is also relieved, go back and talk to the old lady and choose a date." ”
Ying Pei's face turned red, and he said, "Thank you for my heart." ”
Li Xianshu listened to the "mother", smiled, raised her hand and patted Ying Pei's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Go to the front, you still have to socialize, just don't eat more." ”
Ying Pei nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know it." He saluted again, and went away.
And said that Ying Pei withdrew from it, because he felt that Miss Zhu was in excellent shape, very satisfied, and couldn't help but be happy, but he thought that Fang had eaten a few glasses of wine outside, and got Li Xianshu's advice, he was afraid of getting drunk, so he was not in a hurry to go back, just saw a little girl passing by with tea, so he called to stop, asked for a cup of tea, walked behind the rock, and slowly ate the scattered wine.
Ying Pei ate the tea, and felt that his body had not been bad, and he was about to go back to the front hall, but before he could raise his feet, he heard a voice talking, which sounded like a woman's voice, and it was not the sisters in the house.
Ying Pei was afraid that it was the young lady outside, for fear of being abrupt, so he hurriedly hid behind the stone, peeked at it, but saw that it was the young lady of the Zhu family, who came out with the same maid, and didn't know where to go.
Ying Pei saw it, and couldn't help but like it in his heart, and he was even more fascinated to see her so beautiful and beautiful.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, I heard Miss Zhu say: "The others are also excellent, but this second grandmother's words are vulgar and her reputation is very bad, but it makes me feel uneasy." ”
When Ying Pei heard this, he was stunned.
But I heard the maid say: "This second grandmother is from a merchant family, so naturally she is a little unpopular, but the second master is very capable, and now she is also a four-grade fate, but it is not easy to underestimate." ”
Miss Zhu sighed and said, "Sure enough, it's a matter of the world, and there is no two." As he spoke, he suddenly sneered and said: "Everyone in the family, when they hear that I am going to settle this house, they will inevitably be jealous and red-eyed, but they can only hate to catch them on this point, and they may not know how to make fun of me in the future." ”
The maid persuaded: "Miss and want to open some, only look at the face of Young Master Pei, not to mention that everyone said that in the future, the second master should be able to rise again, it is better to set a good ...... as soon as possible" Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice and said: "What's more, don't they all say that the second grandmother's reputation is too bad, and sooner or later in the future will be ......."
When Miss Zhu heard this, she laughed, nodded and sighed, "I just hope that this day will come soon." ”
When Ying Pei heard this, he was already secretly frightened, and his heart was surprised, and he was angry, and he couldn't wait to go out immediately to understand.
It's just that the self-proclaimed man enters the house, and they are outside, so it is not easy to see each other, so he just forbears, but his eyes are still full of anger, and he said in his heart: "My mother and I thought she was a good person, but I didn't expect her to think of us so badly in secret...... If there are other evils, the most hateful thing is that she looks down on her mother, if I decide this girl, what kind of unfilial beast am I?"
Ying Pei secretly made up his mind, but suddenly heard Miss Zhu's "oops", and said in a tone: "You old man slow down!
Ying Pei didn't know why, but he faintly heard Grandma Xu's voice, and said with a smile: "Girl, I'm not careful, don't be weird......"
Ying Pei listened, hurriedly looked up, but saw a cobblestone road ahead, because of a spring rain in the sunset, there was some muddy water in the potholes next to it, Grandma Xu came from opposite Miss Zhu, afraid of colliding with her, on the gravel road, unexpectedly stepped on a foot in the muddy water, splashed three or two points on Miss Zhu's skirt reads();.
Before Grandma Xu finished speaking, she heard Miss Zhu's girl say: "Where did the old foolish thing come from, but you don't have long eyes?
When Ying Pei heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he came out and shouted, "Shut up!" He walked quickly to Grandma Xu's side, hugged Grandma Xu, helped her to the cobblestone road, and asked, "Is Grandma okay?"
When Grandma Xu saw that he came out suddenly, she smiled and said, "Brother Pei'er, where are you from?" I have nothing to do, but I have soiled this girl's skirt, and I am very sorry. ”
That Miss Zhu didn't recognize Ying Pei, but when she saw his dress, she seemed to be a son, and suddenly heard Grandma Xu call him "Pei Ge'er", and immediately knew that it was Ying Pei, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while.
Ying Pei turned his head, glanced at Miss Zhu, and said lightly: "When you see the old man coming from the opposite side, you don't know how to dodge, but you still speak ill of each other, how much is a skirt worth?
When Miss Zhu heard this, her face immediately turned red, and the maid said, "Is this our fault? We came over first, who knows where she came from?"
Ying Pei shouted: "Shut up! A girl with a sharp mouth and sharp tongue like this, looking at people's dishes, who connived at you? If this is a lady or an old lady who comes out of here, but you will not give in? I'm afraid it's too late to flatter you quickly!"
When Miss Zhu heard this, she frowned and said, "Young Master Pei, is this over?"
Ying Pei looked at her and sneered: "My mother is a merchant, and I don't have any knowledge and cultivation, so what I say is inevitably ugly, but I can't help it! ”
After Ying Pei finished speaking harshly, he said to Grandma Xu again: "Grandma is too kind-hearted, why don't you bring a maid when you come out, but you look down on those people who look down on people with dogs' eyes, thinking that you are also a third-class person like them!"
Grandma Xu just looked at Ying Pei, full of emotion, almost didn't know what to say, Ying Pei helped her and walked away.
After turning back, Ying Pei immediately made it clear to Li Xianshu, only saying that the matter with the Zhu family would be stopped, and he would not say the reason.
Li Xianshu blamed him for his high vision, but Grandma Xu secretly told her about the incident with Miss Zhu that day, and Li Xianshu suddenly understood, thinking of Ying Pei, she couldn't help but burst into tears, so she said to Grandma Xu: "They all said...... I don't have a biological son in my knees, it's not a long-term law, but after looking at Pei'er's usual description and behavior, and treating each other like this, I already have enough in my heart, what more do I want from my own son?"
Grandma Xu was also very pleased for Li Xianshu, and Huai Zhenben heard that the matter with Miss Zhu was going to be completed eight times out of ten, and suddenly it collapsed, so she naturally came to inquire, and knew all kinds of reasons, and secretly admired it in her heart, so she didn't mention it.
After another two days, seeing that the envoy of the kingdom of Nashara was about to depart, the Ministry of Rites had already made preparations, and was just waiting for the payment of this cadre, but unexpectedly, something went wrong in the middle of the way.
On this day, there was a sudden news in the palace, but it was not known whether it was true or false, but there were two more news, the first case, because the Shaluo country had a new king, so it was necessary to choose another person to go to the family, but it was not the princess, but a young lady in the Ying Mansion;
These two things almost came together, and all of a sudden, the city was stirred.
