Chapter 101: Smell and see
When several horses were driven to the front of the inn, there was a commotion.
"Uncle Cheng, how about you take a look at these horses?" Yi Cheng asked.
Master Cheng just glanced at it.
"Is it the best way to drive a horse?" He asked.
Yi Cheng nodded repeatedly.
"Of course, I picked it myself." He said.
"I believe in your vision." Master Cheng said with a smile, throwing over a bag of money, "You bother, take it to eat tea to cool off." ”
Yi Cheng stretched out his hand to take it, and smiled.
"Uncle Cheng, you are so polite." He said, while he was busy greeting the horse seller, Master Cheng also asked his men to settle the bill.
“… This Master Cheng is really generous... Look at how far they haven't gone with the horses they are using, and they're going to have to get a new one..."
“… I don't talk about the price, and I pay so much hard money... How nice it is for us to come to the post station every day...."
“… It is said that he is in a hurry to return to his hometown, and the elders in the family are in poor health, so he is in such a hurry. ”
"Ah, that's really a filial son...."
The people laughing and talking outside the window walked away, and Mrs. Cheng looked out with an indignant expression.
Did you see it or not, Master Cheng has become a generous person, when has he been generous! In the past, they would only be generous when they bought their favorite tea at home, and letting them eat an extra bowl of tea at home was distressing like chopping meat.
Generous, all of them are generous, that Cao is in charge, that Banqin, and now this Master Cheng, why? Isn't it just that you don't spend your own money?
That is a fool, if this money is put in her own hands, she will never be so bad!
Second Mrs. Cheng turned around angrily, but her body was crooked. I screamed and almost fell. The loss was that the servant woman on the side moved quickly to hold on.
"Ma'am. Be careful. ”
Speaking of being careful, Second Lady Cheng looked at her legs with hatred.
Although it was not interrupted as rumored by the outside world, it was also a broken tendon and wrong bone, and it was swollen only a few days ago, and it was bumped on such a road, and I don't know if it will really break when I return to Jiangzhou.
"Madame, let's eat."
A servant woman came in with food outside the door and said.
"What's the hurry, just eat when it's time." Second Lady Cheng said angrily, "I can't eat it." ”
"Let's eat some. The horse has changed, and it must have left immediately, and it doesn't know when it will stop when it will go. The servant woman said.
As soon as she thought of this, Second Mrs. Cheng wanted to go crazy, and she couldn't help but think that she really reached out and couldn't help but cover her hair and screamed, and the servants were busy persuading her again and again.
But compared with before, there is more persuasion and less comfort.
After all, at this time, it seems that Master Cheng has turned over, and it is even more powerful than before, and the official body that Master Cheng relied on before is said to be lost.
If Mrs. Cheng is really as serious as Master Cheng said. They rushed back like this just to see each other for the last time, and then the second master had to worry.
Ding worries for three years. Who can say for sure what will happen in three years' time.
They are good people who are the second lady, but the eldest lord is their reliance, and persuaded the second lady Cheng to eat indiscriminately, but there was no order to set off on the road.
"Do you want to go? Can you go or not? If you don't leave, will you sleep in the wild again when it's dark? Second Master Cheng shouted angrily to step into Master Cheng's room, but saw Master Cheng holding a letter with a frowning expression.
"Letter from home?" Second Master Cheng was frightened by his expression, and his heart chuckled, no, his mother was really ......
"It's Shiro's letter." Master Cheng replied.
If that fails, it's something to celebrate.
Second Master Cheng was a little expectant.
"What's the matter?" He asked busily.
"Jiao Niang's family affair is decided." Master Cheng said, it seems that there is still some disobedience.
Set?
"With whom?" Second Master Cheng shouted, suddenly feeling even more ridiculous, it's really ridiculous, his daughter's family affairs are decided, and he doesn't even know that he is a father! Ridiculous!
"King of Jin'an." Master Cheng said.
Jin'an! The king of the county!
Not even a high-ranking official, but the king of Jin'an!
Second Master Cheng only felt that his brain was booming, and this happiness came too quickly and was a little unbearable.
“… Hurry, prepare the car and go, go, go back to Beijing. He shouted.
must be fast, handle the family affairs first, otherwise if Jiangzhou's mother really has an accident, this family affairs will be delayed.
How to prepare for marrying the royal family? There's so much to do, it's a big headache just to think about!
Second Master Cheng was trembling and couldn't stand still, but when he looked up, he saw Master Cheng sitting still.
"Big brother, what are you doing, don't you leave quickly." He shouted.
Master Cheng shook his head.
Can't go.
"Can't go?" Second Master Cheng asked in surprise, "What are you talking about?" She got married, how could we not be the parents? ”
Yes, if she gets married, how can she not be the parent? But she told him to leave the capital immediately.
This woman has always been good at doing things, and if this family business is expected, then how can they leave immediately?
Was it unexpected?
So do they go back or don't go back?
Master Cheng looked down at the letter, this is what Cheng Shilang said, just described what happened, but did not say that he wanted them to come back, and Cheng Jianniang did not let people send the letter.
Listening to her, she said that she would let them go back to Jiangzhou immediately, and she didn't say that they should go back to the capital, so just....
Master Cheng accepted the letter in his hand.
"Prepare the car, let's go." He said.
Second Master Cheng nodded happily at this time, and did not wait to urge himself to rush out first, but soon he found out that something was wrong.
"What's going on? What's going on? Aren't you heading to the capital? ”
"Second master, I didn't say to go to the capital, the eldest master said to go back to Jiangzhou."
Back to Jiangzhou?
How is it back to Jiangzhou?
"Since it's a kiss, naturally someone will come to us, so we'll still wait in Jiangzhou."
Second Master Cheng looked at Master Cheng who was sitting in the car calmly, and everyone was stupid.
He didn't know if he was stupid or if this old man was stupid.
"Cheng Huai! You are crazy! ”
……………………………………………………………….
The woman's parents are so calm, and the man's relatives are very lively at this time.
"This is the first marriage of our young generation." The concubine smiled.
The concubines in the audience all laughed. Say something that is in line with it.
The Queen Mother smiled even more.
"yes. You have to do it well. She said. While asking if the news from the Xiu Wangfu had passed.
The concubine smiled and replied.
"I sent it, and it is estimated that the princess will receive it in three days." She said.
The Queen Mother nodded with some relief.
"Although Princess Xiu is her own child, whether they are guests in the capital is a guest, and we still have to handle this family matter." She said.
The concubine replied.
"That's nature." She smiled, "The king of Jin'an County grew up under the knees of the Queen Mother. ”
The Queen Mother sighed even more.
"Where's the county king?" She asked, "Didn't you come today?" ”
"Niangniang, at the queen's." The palace maid on the side said busily.
The king of Jin'an was originally not so close to the queen, but after the accident of the second prince.
He is filial to the queen for the second prince.
The emperor once sighed like this.
The second prince is the most filial to the queen. The accident was also because I went to pick plums for the queen...
The Queen Mother's eyes couldn't help but be sour.
"That's fast." She changed the subject and said, "I want to stand here to my legs... It's grown so tall in the blink of an eye. ”
The Queen Mother gestured as she spoke.
"How difficult it is to raise a child so quickly."
As he was talking, he announced outside the door that Concubine An was coming.
Concubine An is now the object of envy of everyone in the palace, and the emperor accompanies her night and night, eating and drinking and having fun.
Seeing the pot-bellied Concubine An come in with a smile, the Queen Mother stretched out her hand to excuse herself first.
"Why did you get out, it's very hot this day." She said.
"The imperial doctor instructed the concubine to go around, and the concubine came to see if there was anything she could do to help." Concubine An said.
These words made everyone in the palace laugh, and the concubine also laughed. It's just that the smile is a little mocking, and his eyes fall on Concubine An's bulging belly.
"How can you help. You're good, just helping. The Queen Mother smiled.
After laughing for a while, the palace concubines got up and retreated, and the other concubines dispersed on their own, looking at Concubine An's clumsiness in sitting up, the Queen Mother was very uneasy, and asked the two chamberlains to escort her back in person.
"Concubine Niangniang."
Concubine An looked at the concubine in front of her and shouted.
The concubine stopped and looked.
"Sister Concubine An, what's the matter?" She asked with a smile.
Concubine An was supported by her palace maid and approached.
"I'm afraid of the heat right now, and I want to add more ice." She said.
Now the harem is represented by the concubine, and there is a fixed number of food and clothing, but the rules are dead, and people are alive.
"My sister laughed, you still need to tell me." The concubine said.
The two of them spoke, and the attendant in the Empress Dowager's palace next to them smiled and spoke.
"Two mothers, let's go to the pavilion over there and talk, it's not good to go underground in this big day." He said.
Look at the expensive ... Can't get a sun?
The concubine sneered in her heart, her eyes involuntarily fell on Concubine An's stomach, and the hand in front of her couldn't help but clench.
"It's nothing, mother, let's talk as we go." Concubine An smiled and stretched out her hand to invite.
The concubine smiled first.
“… Naturally, I have to talk to my mother, I can't mess with the rules. Concubine An replied with a smile.
Do you have fewer rules?
The concubine sneered in her heart, little slut, you have already told the emperor, and you came to me again to sell a good thing, who is a fool.
"My sister has too much heart." She smiled and stepped down the steps.
Concubine An watched her stride and hurriedly followed.
"I don't dare to be too careful, because I'm afraid that my mother will be too careful." She laughed.
What a presumptuous statement!
The concubine stopped slightly, glanced back at Concubine An, and her eyes still fell on Concubine An's stomach.
That's it......
My sister laughed. She said, turning her head and continuing to walk.
Concubine An paused, glanced at the steps, clenched the hand in front of her tightly, and stepped out with her teeth and feet.
"Niangniang, you listen to my explanation...."She said, grabbing the concubine's arm, and then oops.
The concubine was suddenly startled by the grabbed arm and subconsciously fell away.
"What are you doing?" she shouted, and before she could finish speaking, she saw Concubine An fall down from her side, and the rest of her words turned into an exclamation.
Screams pierced the sky above the palace.
The noise made the other concubines who had not yet gone far look at it, and the two who came from a distance also stood still.
The King of Jin'an, who happened to see people rolling down, couldn't hide his astonishment.
What's going on?
"Wei Lang."
The queen smiled.
"How about the wedding gift from this palace?"
