In the Shouxian Palace, Cai Wei and Mrs. Shen Cui and Chrysanthemum sat together and chatted leisurely, chatting, Cai Wei seemed to inadvertently mention Chrysanthemum's family affairs to Cui's - she loved the Internet......

Counting, Chrysanthemum is seventeen years old this year, in this world, most of the girls at this age have been married and have children, like Cai Wei, she is younger than Chrysanthemum, but the child can already be called a mother, so Chrysanthemum's family affairs should also be put on the agenda.

Cui Shi listened to Cai Wei's question, and said seriously: "Niangniang, you also know, my father and I are desolate, and there is only one child in total, Chrysanthemum, so what we mean is not to ask her to marry, but to recruit a son-in-law at home, one to continue the incense of the Shen family, and inherit the family business of the ancestors; Second, it also makes our husband and wife have something to rely on in the future, and there will be sacrifices after death; Sanlai Chrysanthemum is simple-minded, if she marries into someone else's family, I am afraid that she will be wronged, and then she will regret it, so we discussed it, and want to choose a good son in law who is innocent and honest and frank, but such a person is not easy to choose, so it has been in the selection survey, and it has not yet been decided. ”

Cai Wei listened to it and felt that what they considered was also reasonable, but in this way, the Liguo Mansion would be no fun, the Shen family wanted to recruit a son-in-law, and Mo Zili was the only bloodline in the second room, no matter what, the Liguo Mansion would not allow their own children to enter other families, let alone allow their Mo family's bloodline to take someone else's surname and worship the ancestors of other people's families!

However, she still tried it, and asked for the Liguo Mansion: "If there is a noble family who falls in love with the chrysanthemum, and wants to marry the chrysanthemum that the media is marrying, what should the aunt and Lord Shen do?" ”

Cui Shi Zhengse said: "Depending on what kind of family he is, we will never marry our daughters, unless their children can join my family, and the heirs born will follow the surname of my Shen family." However, it is expected that there will not be any noble family for their children to be rich! ”

The Cui family knew that the relationship between Cai Wei and the Mo family was probably to cut off the thoughts of the Liguo Mansion, so he made it very clear that no matter what kind of family asked to marry, the Shen family would never agree, unless the children of that family were involved.

Cai Wei listened, and thought that it was completely impossible for Chrysanthemum and Mo Zili to separate, so she didn't say anything more.

When the Chrysanthemum mother and daughter left the palace, Cai Wei rewarded them with a ninety-nine fruit box and sent the eunuch Zhu Shun to send them out.

Ninety-nine fruit box is a three-layer fruit box of red lacquered mahogany, open the drawer of the food box, each layer has some fruits, nine is an auspicious number, there are nine kinds of dried fruits in the fruit box, the intention of each fruit is auspicious, and longan, chestnut, lotus seed, grape, lychee, ginkgo fruit, white date, pine nut, longevity fruit, each fruit is not more or less, there are nine each, so it is called the ninety-nine fruit box.

Seeing that the ninety-nine fruit box was exquisite, Chrysanthemum guessed that the contents must be delicious, so she happily hugged the fruit box, followed her mother, and walked outside the palace under the guidance of the eunuch when she came.

When he walked to the last Zhengyang gate outside the palace, there was a soft sedan chair with a tassel canopy waiting there, and Zhu Shun whispered: "The miscellaneous family can only send Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen here, and after a while, the two of you will sit in this sedan chair and go out of the palace, and there are cars and horses waiting for you outside!" ”

Cui Shi said politely: "Thank you father-in-law for your advice, I have to worry about my father-in-law." As he spoke, he stuffed a heavy purse into Zhu Shun's hand, Zhu Shun took it with a smile, and said: "Madame is too polite, you are the queen's guest, and the slave can serve you, which is the blessing of the slave!" ”

As he was talking, he suddenly gathered his laugh lines, bent down respectfully, and called out in a low voice: "General——"

Hearing this, Chrysanthemum and Cui's turned their heads to look over, but saw a tall and handsome man behind them walking over surrounded by a group of attendants, the man was dressed in a blue brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist, a clear silhouette, and beautiful facial features.

Mo Ziqi nodded lightly to Zhu Shun, and was immediately attracted by the ninety-nine fruit box with vermilion paint next to the sedan chair.

The ninety-nine fruit box is a meal given by the palace to the royal family such as the prince and princess, and occasionally the county kings and county lords are also rewarded, but there are not many rewards. After receiving it, most of them will entertain the guests, and take out the fruit box to share with the crowd when everyone is gathered, so as to make a long face in front of the guests.

When Mo Ziqi saw the ninety-nine fruit box, he was naturally attracted to one or two, but when he saw the owner of the fruit box, his cold eyes were suddenly stunned, as if he was a little incredible.

Mrs. Cui also saw the general's eyes looking at her daughter, and hurriedly pulled her daughter to give Mo Ziqi a blessing, and then turned around and pushed her daughter into the sedan chair.

Although she is a woman in the house, she has something about the powerful family in the capital, and she also inquired about it before coming to the capital. This general is Mo Zili's cousin, the queen's sister-in-law, he stares at his daughter like this, if it reaches the ears of the queen, the queen will be careful.

Therefore, after the salute, she took the chrysanthemum into the sedan chair, carried by several little eunuchs, and went all the way out of the palace.

Sending them away, Zhu Shun walked to the palace along the way he came, Mo Ziqi went with him, Zhu Shun didn't dare to go with the general, and hurriedly bowed his body to ask the general to go first, Mo Ziqi glanced at him and said, "Come together, this general has something to ask you." ”

Zhu Shun hurriedly sang, followed behind Mo Ziqi with low eyebrows, walked for a while, and when he was no, Mo Ziqi spoke: "Who is the woman holding the ninety-nine fruit box?" General Ben didn't look like a royal lady when she looked like her, why did she get a ninety-nine fruit box? ”

Zhu Shun listened, and replied softly: "Back to the general's words, as you said, that young lady is indeed not a noble girl in the court, but it is right away, that young lady's surname is Shen Ming Chrysanthemum, originally the daughter of a small county commander in the north of Bianzhou Mansion, and met our queen mother by chance, and won the heart of the mother, so this young lady's family has been favored, not only her father was transferred to the capital, but she can also come to participate in the noble daughters' Yuan Day gift to congratulate the mother, it can be seen that the status of this Miss Shen in the future, It won't be worse than any noble girl. ”

"Huh! It turned out to be her! ”

Mo Ziqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said thoughtfully, he had heard of this Shen Juhua once or twice, and heard that his grandfather made an exception to transfer her father to the capital for her, but Zhu Shun didn't know it, and thought that it was the queen mother who transferred them to the capital.

It is said that Zili almost died of illness because of him, and he is still recuperating in Bianzhou, and it is said that he can't even come back for the New Year.

However, I have to say that this Shen Juhua is indeed very similar to Xiangyun, there are not many people who are similar in appearance, but her expression is extremely similar, and the smile and satisfaction she looks like when she holds the fruit box is really similar to the appearance of Xiangyun when he gets good things, no wonder Zili will fall into it......

Zhu Shun didn't know what Mo Ziqi was thinking, but Mo Ziqi took a fancy to Shen Juhua, because Mo Ziqi had a cold temperament and never inquired about other people's affairs.

At this time, Zhu Shun's heart was a silent sigh, saying that he had eaten too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, so he thought about eating porridge and side dishes, and the general was probably the same, the general's wife was beautiful, captivating the country and the city, and the world was gorgeous, her beauty was highly similar to the queen's mother, but even such a beautiful woman would get tired of seeing it after a long time.

Although this Miss Shen is quite neat in appearance, compared with the general's wife, her appearance is simply different from cloud and mud, and there is no comparison with Ben! One has delicate facial features without a single flaw, and a round face and round eyes are stupid; One has a graceful posture and a weak willow to support the wind, and the other is tall and slightly rounded......

This...... It's not a grade at all! What the hell was the general thinking?

Zhu Shun imagined wildly, he didn't even notice that Mo Ziqi was gone, and after returning to Shouxian Palace to recover his life, he quietly stood outside the palace on duty, and by the way, he imagined the scene of the general's wife and Miss Shen tearing up and seizing favor......

In the Imperial Study

Mo Ziqi paid the courtesy of a monarch and a minister to Nangong Yi, and after getting up, he began to report to him an important piece of news that he had just received.

According to the spy newspaper stationed in Xianbei, the king of Xianbei, Helan Qi, died a few days ago, Helan Qi had no heirs, and his brothers and nephews were all killed during his reign, so the throne has been hanging, and all forces in the country have begun to move in order to compete for the throne, and the Xianbei country is about to be in chaos......

After reporting these situations, Mo Ziqi said: "Your Majesty, Princess Chaogui asks for a will, I want to return to Dajin, and ask the emperor to make decisions for her." ”

Nangong Yi pondered for a moment and said: "She is the queen of Xianbei country, if she leaves, Xianbei country will definitely be more chaotic, let her stay there, I remember, Xianbei country has a rule, the first king died, and the successor king should marry all the wives and concubines of the first king, in order to show that he completely inherited the first king's Yiqiē, since there is this rule, let Chao Gui marry the next Xianbei king, Chao Gui still has a little bit of scheming, and staying there will also be good for our Dajin." ”

Although this decision is unfair to Chao Gui, she ruined her life by mistake, and after the design of Yan Jingchen, there is no place for her in the Great Jin Kingdom, staying in Xianbei, she may be able to break a way, and when she comes back in the Great Jin, she can only spend the rest of her life in the ridicule and cold eyes of others......

Mo Ziqi said: "Yes, the minister will pass on His Majesty's will to her when he goes back." ”

After speaking, he hesitated for a moment, and then played: "Your Majesty, the Xianbei country is about to be in chaos, you see, we don't need to take this opportunity to ...... Xianbei"

"No need!"

Nangong Yi interrupted him and said, "Even if we defeat Xianbei, the people of Xianbei will not be satisfied with being ruled by us, it is not a race, and there will be dissent after all." When the time comes, once there is an opportunity, sooner or later it will be reversed, in that case, why should I do this to leave such a hidden danger for my children and grandchildren? Besides, it is not a trivial matter to fight a country, it takes countless soldiers to pay the price of their lives, and countless families are separated from their wives and wives because of this, and they are in pain, which is not what I am happy to see. ”

When she said this, it happened that Cai Wei walked in, she had already heard the conversation between Nangong Yi and Mo Ziqi outside, and was very satisfied with Nangong Yi's decision, if Nangong Yi was ambitious and wanted to invade and annex Xianbei, it should not be difficult, but he could think about the people of the world, abandon his own selfishness, and did not start this war, so that the people of the two countries could avoid the cholera of a war, isn't this the move of Renjun?

Mo Ziqi said: "The minister doesn't want to start a war for no reason, so that the people will suffer, but your majesty, even if we don't attack Xianbei, Liaodan will also do it, if Liaodan annexes Xianbei, it will form an encirclement of our Great Jin, Liaodan's Great Khan is ambitious, and he will definitely covet our territory of Dajin again." Therefore, Chen feels that instead of being passive at that time, it is better to take the initiative now and strike first! ”

"Liao Dan won't!"

Cai Wei sat down next to Nangong Yi, with an irresistible determination in her faint and distant smile, she repeated: "If we don't make a move in Dajin, Liao Dan won't make a move!" ”

Mo Ziqi pursed his lips, Junyi's face was a little suspicious, "How did Niangniang know that Liao Dan wouldn't make a move?" The ambition of the Sakenu wolf will never be willing to stay only in the bitter cold land of Liaodan! ”

Cai Wei smiled: "Because he doesn't dare, if he dares to do something to Xianbei, this palace will have its own way to put him in a situation from which he will never recover!" ”

Nangong Yi knew his wife's ability, laughed, and said: "Sack Nu met you, and his ambition in this life can only stay in his harem!" ”

Mo Ziqi looked at the couple playing dumb riddles in a daze, not knowing what to say.

However, although he didn't understand why the emperor and the queen were so confident, he had faintly heard some legends about the queen's mother, it is said that the queen mother is very powerful, and when the former general of the protector of the country rebelled, she was cleaned up, otherwise, the country of the Great Jin Dynasty would have been subverted by him long ago, and the Liguo Mansion would have been razed to the ground.

Therefore, after seeing that she and the emperor were so determined, they also put their hearts at ease, saluted, and withdrew......

……

Chrysanthemum and Cui's sat in their own carriage, and they couldn't wait to open the ninety-nine fruit box rewarded by Caiwei, took out the dried fruits inside and ate them, and said vaguely while eating: "Mother, you can also taste it, the fruits in the palace are delicious, much sweeter than the fruits over there!" ”

Cui Shi smiled: "It's hot in the south, and the fruit is naturally sweeter than our north, but although this fruit is sweet, it is delicious, but if you eat too much, you will get fat. ”

Chrysanthemum is a hardcore foodie, so she will not give up her food for the image, she rattled and ate the dried white dates, and said with a smile: "It's good to be fat, fat like a pig, even your son-in-law can't be recruited, when the time comes, I can live quietly by your side for a lifetime!" Hehe......"

Maybe it's because I saw too much of my mother's pain and tears when I was a child, and I suffered a lot of grievances and evil anger from Aunt Yan and other aunts, all, in Chrysanthemum's heart, she has always been very repulsive to marriage and men, she doesn't want to get married at all, she doesn't want to get married, she just wants to be free, live happily for a lifetime, eat whatever she wants, buy whatever she wants, how good a day like this!

If she marries someone, it will be good to marry, and if she marries a ruthless, unrighteous and wolf-like person, won't she repeat her mother's old mistakes, and her children will not be as miserable as she used to be?

Therefore, she is reluctant to marry, every time her father mentions this matter, she also tries to treat it with a negative and repulsive attitude, she has already thought about it, it is best not to marry, if she can't hide from it, she will recruit an honest duty, and if she can live wholeheartedly with her in the future, she must not follow her old path!

Mrs. Shen heard Chrysanthemum's words that she didn't want to marry again, and she unconsciously persuaded: "Your child is guilty of leftism again, how can there be a daughter who doesn't marry?" Daddy will grow old one day, and I can't be with you for a lifetime, so when the time comes, how can you be alone? When you are old, you can't move, and you don't have any children around you to serve, is it difficult to wait for death? So, don't talk about not marrying in the future......"

Before she finished nagging, Chrysanthemum screamed and interrupted her: "Hey, mother, look, there is a hot pot restaurant, it must be the one Cai Wei told me, let's go eat hot pot, okay?" ”

Not far away, Bafu Hot Pot City is lively, it is noon at this time, when the meal is at the mouth, a large number of diners continue to pour in, the gathering of cars and horses will be crowded in front of the hot pot restaurant, many vehicles have nowhere to park, so they have to park at the door of other shops.

A few days ago, Cui's heard her husband talk about hot pot, and it is said that eating a hot mutton hot pot in the winter is a great enjoyment, so when her daughter mentioned that she wanted to eat, she agreed without hesitation.

There was no place to park at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, so the driver of the Shen family took a look and parked the car at the door of a calligraphy and painting shop. In order not to be driven away, the coachman also sent Mrs. Yì to buy a few pennies of things, so that they could stop here justifiably.

Chrysanthemum likes this kind of thing the most, after hearing the coachman's construction, she volunteered to get out of the car, to go in and buy it in person, Mrs. Cui was not worried about her, so she also got out of the car and entered the calligraphy and painting shop together, planning to see what to buy casually.

In the calligraphy and painting shop, a few guys were gathering together to laugh and chat, and when they saw a guest coming, they hurriedly stopped laughing and came to say hello.

Cui Shi and Chrysanthemum had nothing to buy, just looked around, looked at the new incense ink for a while, looked at the wolf hair made by Shuyan Zhai for a while, and was thinking about buying something, when a young man pushed the door and walked in.

The man's face was pale and delicate, his body was thin and thin, he was wearing a washed white ragged shirt, and his sleeves and elbows were pierced patches, he held a few scrolls, walked up to a fellow, and said modestly: "This little brother, Xiaosheng has a few words here, I don't know if your store can buy them?" ”

The man lifted his chin, glanced coldly at his ragged robe, and said to him with his nose, "Who wrote it?" But the famous masterpiece? ”

The man said in a proper manner: "It's a clumsy work of Xiaosheng, and please give a few palms and comments!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a pair of words and wanted to open it to show them.

The fellow waved his hand impatiently, and said as if he were a beggar, "Who has time to look at your things?" Hurry up and go, how many of our calligraphy and paintings in our shop have not been sold, how can there be a place to put your rags? ”

The down-and-out man's expression froze, his pale face instantly turned miserable white, he stood awkwardly for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Little brother, please take a look, Xiaosheng's words have been practiced hard for many years, although they are not as good as everyone's bones, but Xiaosheng's words are very cheap, as long as five yuan a pair, ten yuan three pieces also make it, the little brother will take it, and he will never suffer......"

"Don't accept it, don't accept it, roll ......" Xiao Er waved his hand, and he had already begun to speak disrespectfully.

The down-and-out man was scolded by him, pursed his pale lips, and seemed to want to ask for mercy, but when he saw the man's disdainful eyes, he swallowed his words back, he held a few of his own words, turned around, and slowly walked out of the door.

"Wait a minute!"

Mrs. Shen stopped him and said, "My family has moved to a new house, and I want to buy a few paintings to decorate the study, this son, please bring your handwriting and show it to me." ”

When the man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly walked over, took out a pair of calligraphy and paintings in his arms, and opened them, asking Mrs. Shen to look at them.

Chrysanthemum and Xiaokui also leaned over to look at the words curiously, but she couldn't read the handwriting of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, but looking at this man was very pitiful, it was already ten winters and moons, she was wearing a thick cotton jacket, a big wool cloak outside, and a hand stove with two pieces of charcoal in her hand and felt cold, but he only wore a clip, and he looked at it and froze!

"Chrysanthemum, what do you think of this painting?" Mrs. Shen asked.

Chrysanthemum said vaguely: "Uh, yes, the pen and ink are horizontal, magnificent, the iron painting silver hook, the pen walks the dragon and snake, hehe......"

She brought out all the well-written idioms she knew, just thinking that her mother could buy his words, so that he could earn some money to buy a cotton dress to wear.

Mother did not disappoint her, very happy to die The maid behind her took over the dozen or so pairs of words in the man's hand, and asked someone to give him a tael of silver, and said: "There are dozens of rooms in front of and behind my house, if the son is empty, just write a few more and send it to us, the price is not high, a hundred yuan a pair, but your pen, ink and paper inkstone are from me!" ”

After that, he said to the little er: "Get a good end of ink for this son, two high-quality wolf hairs, and a hundred four-foot pieces of gold-sprinkled rice paper!" ”

The down-and-out scholar couldn't believe his ears when he heard that Mrs. Cui had ordered a hundred characters from him at once, and that each word was given a price of one hundred yuan.

As soon as Xiao Er heard that such a big deal had been made, he immediately went to pick up the goods, and regretted while taking it, he knew that he had accepted this poor and sour word, and a pair of words could earn ninety-seven dollars, and a hundred pairs of words would not make * two pieces of silver, hey, what a pity!

Walking out of the calligraphy and painting shop, Chrysanthemum accompanied her mother and walked to the Bafu Restaurant, Chrysanthemum said while walking: "Mother, you are really generous, the price just offered to that guy is dozens of times higher than his own price, tsk!" ”

Mrs. Shen laughed as she walked and said: "There are four lines of poems in the old biography that praise people for being proud, clouds, long drought and sweet rain, and meet old acquaintances in other places. This son is a fellow villager of our Qingxian County, it is not easy to meet him here, and now he is stuck, his mother is just doing a little bit to help him get out of this embarrassing situation, why should he care about a few taels of silver? ”

When Chrysanthemum heard this, she was surprised and said, "Mother is honest, that guy is from our Qingxian County?" Mother can't be the wrong person, right? ”

Mrs. Shen said: "Although your mother is old, her eyes are not yet dazzling, and besides, the accent of that son is the same as ours, don't you even hear it?" ”

Chrysanthemum touched her nose and smiled wryly, what she was thinking about just now was eating hot pot for a while, how could she care about listening to other people's accents!

Seeing the chrysanthemum like this, Mrs. Shen knew what she had just thought, and said helplessly: "Such a big girl, she doesn't take anything to heart at all, she knows how to eat and play all day long, she really convinces you." ”
