Although today is Chen Yan's big day, the sedan chair broke the treasure bottle before it left the alley, and half of the sedan chair fell to the ground, which is not a good sign, and she can't help but feel a layer of haze in her heart. It's just that this incident was caused by the summons of Taohua in the palace, she didn't dare to complain, but she couldn't help but complain in her heart, and she held her breath along the way.

When I arrived at Liu's house, I heard Daylily whisper that it was very lively, and there seemed to be a lot of guests, so I felt a little happier. Who knew that when he took off his hijab, he saw that Liu Zhijing's face did not have much joy, and his smile was very reluctant.

Looking around the new house, the things are all the things she married, and they are well furnished, but the doors and windows in the room can be seen to be all old things, but they are just painted again. The walls and roof were painted, but the bricks on the floor were old, and it was clear that the house had not been carefully renovated.

Chen Yan's hot heart was already half cold by this time. Xi Niang was hired by the Liu family, because the silver was not much, and after the ceremony, the task was completed, and she returned home, regardless of what happened later. I sat alone in the room for a long time, and no one came to bring some food—the bride did not eat enough on the day of marriage, as usual, for fear that she would have to do something inconvenient in the middle of the wedding, but after most of the day, the little thing she ate in the morning was gone, and she was so hungry that she panicked.

Daylily had the heart to go out and get her some food, but the Liu family's house was shallow and narrow, and she heard the sound of the banquet in front of her when she went out, and then looked at the kitchen in front of her, so it was really difficult to pass, so she had to retreat back. Fortunately, when I went out in the morning, I still put a few pieces of snacks in my purse, and at this time, I didn't care if it was fresh or not, so I took it out to fill my stomach first.

Therefore, when I saw Poria at this time, the master and servant were like a life-saving straw - at least this one has been in Liu's house for two days, and he always knows where the kitchen is, right?

How do you know that Poria herself is still hungry, listening to Xuancao's words, she suddenly smiled bitterly: "It's not enough to prepare today's wedding banquet in the kitchen......"

Chen Yan and Xuancao looked at each other, and after a while, Xuancao said: "No matter what you do, you always have to get ideas, even if it's the next somen noodles, it's good ......."

Poria also wanted to eat, so when she heard this, she said, "Then the slave and maid go and see, the girl is waiting in the house." ”

Liu's family has such a kitchen, and there are no subordinates to call on weekdays, and at this time, a wolfberry is boiling water, and it is already full of dust. The kitchen was full of dishes, because today was a banquet called from a restaurant outside, so these bowls didn't have to be washed by the Liu family themselves, just waiting for someone from the restaurant to take them away later.

Goji berries are young, and they are even more tired, listening to Poria asking for food, they can't help crying and saying with a sad face: "Where is there, the dishes are empty...... "The banquet called by the Liu family is naturally not that high-end, what eight big dishes and eight big bowls, so that the guests can't finish eating." I didn't expect so many guests to come, so I really ate empty.

Poria was helpless, so she turned out a little somen noodles to cook, picked some pickles, mixed them with sesame oil and vinegar, and brought them to Chen Yan.

This pickle is a northern taste, pickled very heavy, although added sesame oil vinegar, Chen Yan and a few other people in the south are not used to eating, just because they are really hungry, so they finally picked a few chopsticks and ate it with somen noodles. After eating, while washing, Chen Yan asked about the Liu family.

Poria pretended to be a stomach full of grievances, and at this moment all the ancient brains poured out: "...... The wife originally wanted to receive the girl's dowry to the treasury over there, saying that the girl was young and afraid of spending it casually, so the slave and maid left some of it, but the few boxes of fur and fur clothes were all collected by the wife. ”

Chen Yan's heart was blocked, and his face couldn't help but change: "Why did you let it go!" "It's her dowry! The dowry is a woman's private property, which belongs only to herself, and as long as she is alive, her mother-in-law's family is not allowed to ask about it.

Poria said with a bitter face: "How can the slave and maid be able to beat the wife...... but she and the wolfberry finally snatched the box containing the jewelry, and the deed and some gold and silver of the other shop were also kept, and only a few bulky boxes were lost.

Chen Yan took a few breaths, and had to suppress this anger: "That's it, these things are also to honor her......" Liu Jiaqing is bitter, can she wear fur by herself, but she can't watch her mother-in-law wear cotton cloth? I have to take it out to cut clothes for my mother-in-law and husband, just think it's all cut for them to wear.

She said so, and Poria naturally wouldn't say anything more. The master and servant were silent for a while, and before Liu Zhijing came in, Chen Yan couldn't help asking, "The banquet outside hasn't been dispersed yet?" ”

"It should be dispersed, the slave maid just went to the kitchen, and there was no movement ahead." Poria was also a little strange, "Isn't my uncle drinking too much?" ”

"I'm going to call my lord." Chen Yan was thoughtful in this, "Don't call me a girl in the future, call me wife." Mother-in-law, I'm going to call the old lady. Go and see if the table is scattered. ”

The banquet has indeed dispersed, but Liu Zhijing has finished sending off the guests, but he is not in the mood to return to the new house. For most of the day, he has been thinking about Chen Yanfu's surname. Now that she has changed her surname, don't think about the things that he originally expected her to argue with herself in front of the princess of the county, but in this way, whether the errand can be guaranteed or not, he really has no bottom in his heart.

It's a good thing that he doesn't know that Chen Yanfu's surname is the meaning of the emperor, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the heart to drink wine. Rao was like this, and he also wandered around the courtyard for a while, until Mrs. Liu came out and saw him, and then she wondered: "What's the matter?" If you don't go to the room to see your daughter-in-law, what are you doing here? ”

Mrs. Liu was also tired enough today, Liu Zhijing couldn't help but help her and said, "My mother has been tired for a day, why don't you stop?" ”

Mrs. Liu slapped her waist with her backhand and said, "There are so many people coming today, my mother is not tired." "The fact that there are many guests shows that her son has a future, and it is too late for her to be happy. What's more, there are many guests and a lot of gift money, so she just clicked roughly in the room, and found that someone had given two silver tickets of one hundred taels in the gift box!

"Is this guy on good terms with you?" Mrs. Liu has never seen such a big gift.

Liu Zhijing's face changed: "Two hundred taels of silver tickets? Which one is it? ”

This Mrs. Liu remembered clearly and immediately answered. This ceremony looks very inconspicuous from the outside, but the content inside is so rich, it is naturally memorable.

"This gift cannot be accepted." Liu Zhijing immediately said, "Mother take it out, I want to return it tomorrow." ”

Mrs. Liu's second monk was puzzled: "It's not a congratulatory gift?" ”

"It's not." This must be for the sake of pox, "Mother, even if it is, if there is no relatives and no reason, I will not accept heavy gifts." "He has always created an image of honesty and self-discipline outside, so this time he was also asked for favors or something, but he didn't agree, just worked hard. Obviously, someone couldn't get in on the surface, so he took advantage of his happy occasion to give silver.

Not to mention that two hundred taels of silver is nothing to the Liu family holding the Tan family's dowry, even if it is two thousand taels, it is not comparable to his future. The errand was a bit dangerous at the moment, and if it was known that he had taken the money, it would have to be lost. Therefore, he must return this silver, and he must return it fairly, so that everyone knows that he does not accept heavy gifts, and is a person who is honest and almost unkind, which is the correct image of the lonely minister.

Thinking about his future, Liu Zhijing couldn't even take care of Mrs. Liu, where did he remember that there was someone waiting in the new house. So Chen Yan waited left and right, sat so that his waist was sore, and still no one came in.

"What's going on? Could it be that you are drunk and sleepover? "It is a shame for the husband not to enter the new house on the wedding night, even because he is drunk.

Poria ran out again, and came back with a not very good face: "The master is in the old lady's room." ”

"What are you doing in the old lady's room at this time?" Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, "Is the master drunk?" ”

In fact, Liu Zhijing is studying the gift at this time, to see if there is any opportunity to stuff money inside. However, Poria didn't know, and she couldn't afford to lose the door that knocked on Mrs. Liu's room, so she naturally had to come back.

Chen Yan was stunned for a long time, and sat down silently on the edge of the bed: "Wait a little longer." "Mother-in-law, what do you mean by that?

People are easy to think crankily when they are idle, Chen Yan sat for a while, looked at the flickering red candle, and unexpectedly remembered Taohualai - there is no mother-in-law in the palace of Anjun Wang, I think there will never be such a thing, and then look at the appearance of Anjun Wang when he accompanied her back, there will definitely be no situation where the candle is alone in the empty room at night.

While Chen Yan was thinking nonsense, Taohua was talking to Shen Shu on the pillow.

"Do you suspect that my eye disease is caused by medication?" Shen Shu originally listened attentively, Taohua said there, he pinched Taohua's fingers and played, until he heard the last few words, and finally diverted his attention.

"I'm a little suspicious." Taohua came out of the palace this time and brought out the medical case transcripts of Zhao Chongyi and the sage concubine. Comparing the two, it was found that the concubine also had a headache and dizziness, so that the situation of the three of them was the same. Of course, this may also be a coincidence, but Taohua intends to use it as a clue and consider it from this point first.

Shen Shu subconsciously touched his eyes: "But-what kind of medicine is this?" ”

"I haven't figured it out yet......" Momoka had to admit. But this medicine is likely to affect the nerves in the brain, and the deformed fetus born by Zhao Chongyi is said to have a strangely flat head, as if someone had cut off a piece from the top of the head, obviously there is a problem with brain development. Vision is closely related to the brain, and what can affect the brain is likely to be reflected in the eyes.

If there are any special undocumented drugs in this era, Taohua still suspects that it is heavy metal poisoning - Zhao Chongyi was suspicious when she gave birth to a teratosensor, but she couldn't analyze the drug ingredients, so until now she is only suspicious and has not been confirmed. However, if Shen Shu's eyes are really poisoned, then maybe it can really be treated.

However, Taohua didn't say this now. She vaguely felt that although Shen Shu didn't seem to care about eye diseases on the surface, he was actually a little regretful. If she said that she could cure it now, Shen Shu hoped that she couldn't cure it in the end, wouldn't it disappoint him again?

Shen Shu didn't know what Taohua was thinking, so he only groaned: "In your opinion, how long can Concubine Yuan Shufei's baby be saved?" ”

"It didn't take long." Taohua said without hesitation, "I suspect that the fetus is dead." "A stillborn baby can't be kept for long, even if the imperial doctor's medical skills are good, there is nothing he can do.

"I don't know if the emperor can hold the evidence before this." Shen Shu sighed slightly, "I don't know if it's the first child to die in the palace......"

Taohua thought of something else. If Concubine Xianxian was really given this kind of medicine, why did she give birth to Shen Shu safely, but she died of a blood collapse. Is the amount of medicine given to her insufficient, or is she herself more resistant? Did my grandfather notice anything wrong with the concubine?

"Don't think about it." Shen Shu found that Taohua's eyes were wide open, and when he looked at the hour, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, "It's not too early, you've been tired for a day today, let's rest." ”

"I'm not tired...... "Momoka's brain was like entering a discotheque, and many thoughts flew like flickering colored lights, flashing in front of her eyes but she couldn't catch them.

"If you're not tired...... Shen Shu's hand fell on her shoulder and slowly slid down to her waist, "Then do something else?" ”

"You-" Momoka hadn't woken up yet, and was already covered under the quilt, "What are you doing......?"

Shen Shu's low smile came from the darkness: "Don't catch a cold......"

It's spring, who will catch a cold. Momoka wanted to kick him, but soon couldn't take care of it......

There are no elders in the Anjun Palace, and the biggest advantage is that you can get up whenever you want, and you don't need to think about asking the elders for peace. So Taohua took the bed the next day as a matter of course.

Shen Shu left early in the morning, don't look at him now, he has no errands, but he is busier than Taohua, who is about to be assigned an errand. When he left, Taohua was still asleep, not knowing at all.

"The prince said not to wake up the princess." Mint said with a smile on her face as she brushed her hair. The prince tiptoed when he got up, for fear of alarming the princess, which can be seen to be considerate.

Taohua sat lazily, only feeling that her body was sore, and she didn't want to move at all. Mint looked in the mirror, and saw that the master's eyes were half-closed, although his face was faint, but the corners of his lips were slightly upturned, he knew that he was in a good mood, so he took what he heard outside: "Yesterday, the palace tried to release the list." The slave maid heard that it was lively, some people cried and some laughed in the place where the list was released, and there were also those who caught their sons-in-law under the list, those Jinshi who had never been married, and some people were almost carried away directly......"

As soon as he said this, he reminded Taohua: "Is Jiang Ergongzi going to end?" ”

This mint didn't know: "The slave didn't hear about it, but-" She just casually talked about it and Bo Taohua smiled, and then she remembered that someone shouldn't have mentioned it, and suddenly said no, not to say it.

"But what?" Taohua originally listened casually, remembering that Jiang Heng just asked by chance, Mint hesitated like this, but it attracted her attention.

Mint was entangled for a moment, but she never knew anything to hide from Taohua, and still said: "I heard that the son of the Ou family has been tricked." ”

"European Airlines?" Taohua recalled for a moment before remembering that there was such a person, "He is only eighteen years old this year, a young jinshi, and he can also pass on the middle school, which shows that his talent is really good." ”

Mint observed Taohua's face, and saw that there was no change, but as if he couldn't remember, so he was relieved: "I heard that the emperor originally wanted to ask him to be a tanhua, but then he somehow changed his name." This year's Tanhua is more than 30 years old, and I heard that the appearance is also mediocre. ”

Tanhua is a very interesting position, and it is generally necessary to choose a person who has both talent and appearance among the jinshi to take it. I heard that there were people in the previous dynasty who were supposed to be champions because they were too good-looking, but they were changed to Tanhua. I also heard that some people didn't have such a high ranking, but because they were born well, they were promoted to Tanhua. The ups and downs of fate here, but it can also make people feel some emotion.

But a young jinshi like European Airlines, Taohua seems to remember that he was born very well, and if he is talented, it is nothing to order a flower visit. If this is only done to pass the flowers, probably the level of Tanhua is really good. After all, Tanhua is the third on the first list, and Chuanlu is the first on the second list, which is considered the fourth, and the middle ranking, if everyone's level is not far apart, it is common to change up and down.

Of course, this probably proves that Imasami is not the kind of emperor who likes to make some gimmicks, he doesn't need an outstanding-looking tanhua to whitewash the peace, but pays more attention to real talent and learning.

"The slave maid heard that there were several groups of matchmakers coming to the door where the Ou family lived yesterday." Since Taohua didn't care, Mint dared to speak, "It's still in the inn, and I'm afraid the threshold will be flattened." ”

Taohua listened with a ride. Half a year after getting married, she was as busy as a spinning top. It's rare to be quiet at this time, and when I think back to the previous days, I suddenly feel a little like a world away. Not only did European Airlines fade so faint in her memory that there was only a shadow left, but even Jiang Heng was already vague, only remembering that there was once a young man who sent a hand-carved hairpin before she got married, but she took the hairpin to the northwest and did not bring it back to the capital. Her life has been completely occupied by Shen Shu, and she can't tolerate others anymore.

Mint said a few interesting anecdotes about the new jinshi, and seeing that Taohua was not very interested, he turned to another matter: "Princess, shouldn't our house also be rectified?" ”

These words reminded Taohua: "Indeed. In a few days, I will take Bai Ge'er to live, and you can clean up a yard next to it and come out, and arrange proper manpower to take care of it. In the past few days, it has been Chen Yan's marriage again, and Concubine Yuan Shu's fetal gas, she almost forgot this important matter.

After the completion of the Anjun Palace, it was customary for the Internal Affairs Office to send the palace attendants to serve as slaves, and when Shen Shu first moved in, Cicada Yi and Dieyi had already lined up these people like a net, and many of them were watched by the Internal Affairs Office put down dishes, and some mediocre and clumsy ones came in to fill the number, of course, there were also eyeliners who took the opportunity to come in.

A few eyeliners, of course, were moved to irrelevant errands, and the clumsy ones were returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Because the master of the Anjun Wangfu was only one Shen Shu, it was enough to have two big maids and two guards at that time, so the two Cicada Yi and Dieyi controlled Shen Shu's courtyard, and the other positions just came up with rules. Horizontal and vertical outsiders can't get close to Shen Shu's body, and they can't do anything they want.

But not anymore. There are not many people in Taohua to marry, but this time they are obviously going to live in the capital for a long time, so these people can't help but clean up.

"There are too many things...... "Momoka looked in the mirror, "don't wear those heavy jewelry, don't enter the palace today." "She's going to have to make a plan to promote the pox. At this time, I regret not bringing Mama Zheng back, otherwise the matter of cleaning up the inner house can be handed over to Mama Zheng.

Mint hurriedly said: "These people in the house, Mr. Wu has already given the slave maid a list. "It is a detailed record of who sent the eyeliner, who may have some detours with the people in the palace, who is stupid but loyal, and who is capable, but always wants to change the master to serve Yunyun.

Taohua glanced at it and was quite surprised: "This is much easier." ”

Mint said with a smile: "Mr. Wu said that the prince ordered him to do it." "This time I went back to the capital, of course Wu Zheng also came back, Shen Shu was going to replace the original long history of the palace after a while, and put Wu Zheng up to be the chief history of the palace, so Wu Zheng started to work now.

"Then you can discuss it with Mr. Wu." Taohua knew that her skills in this were not skillful, and she knew it by looking at the Jiang family, if she could do well, why did Jiang Xi want to travel now.

Mint's face blushed imperceptibly: "How can the slave have the time to serve the princess." ”

Taohua was looking at the list, but she didn't notice her blushing: "We have few people, not to mention that the prince's people are not here now, if you don't set up this inner house for me, who will I go to?" Mr. Wu will be a long history in the future, and he will only take care of the affairs outside the second door, and we will have to do it ourselves. I have you at hand, who can do it? Besides, there is a bellflower in the house. However, our people are indeed too few...... "Originally, when she was in the Jiang family, there was a Poria cocos in her yard, but now when she arrives at the county king's mansion, the people around her are almost the same as when she was in the Jiang family, so how can it be used."

Saying this, Mint suddenly cheered up: "Don't worry, the princess, the slaves and maids must see them firmly!" It's a matter of this manpower...... "The Jiang family has few people, and they can't bring a few companions, and they didn't buy people from outside at that time, where can they go to change it at this time?"

Taohua muttered: "It's really not good, just ask the emperor for a few...... "It's not that the emperor wants it, but to ask the Internal Affairs Office to send a few palace people without any background to come over, and pick a few good ones, which is more worry-free than buying them from outside." After all, the people in the Internal Affairs Office have taught the rules, and they know what to do when they enter the house. And the innocence of these people when they entered the palace is well documented, and the origin is clearer than that of people's teeth.

"You take a pen and paper and make a list." Taohua was disturbed by this bunch of things, "Come out in order first, and do it one by one." However, cleaning up the yard for Bai Ge'er is the first thing, and secondly, I have to prepare things for my father to travel. "I also know that the Cao family will definitely not be able to count on it, even if it is handed over to her, I am afraid it will not be well prepared.

Taohua guessed correctly, the Cao family just heard Jiang Xi say that he was going out, and he was already stunned: "Master, this-" It's just a matter of going out, why do you even have to send your son to the Anjun Palace?

Jiang Xi didn't come to ask for her opinion: "I'm going to leave when Sister Yan returns to the door." Bai Ge'er, you can clean up his things. ”
