The banquet in the plum garden in the west mountain of the Guogong Mansion heralded the end of the large-scale communication of the noble ladies in the capital in a year. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the winter of Yanjing, it was extremely cold, and it snowed twice in a row, except for the officials who had to go to the yamen and the small servants who went out to run errands for large families, there were no more gorgeous carriages and horses and beautiful girls wearing hats on the streets.

As soon as the winter came, An's avoided the morning and dusk of the sisters.

The earth fire dragon in Anranju was hot, Yuxuan cat was in the house, holding the hot almond cheese soaked by Qingqi, and Liu Qi, who lived in the house, chatted without saying a word about which dim sum in Beijing was delicious.

Yuxuan complained: "Winter is the most boring, and I can only hide in the house all day. ”

Liu Qi said: "I think it's very good." In the past, I always heard people say that the north side is bitter cold in winter, and it can freeze your ears. When I really experienced it, I realized that the winter in Beijing was much warmer than in the south, and there was a fire dragon when I entered the house. Unlike the south, you can only hold a hand stove in winter, which is cold and cold. ”

Yuxuan said: "This is a reason, at that time in Hangzhou, I hid in the quilt in the winter and didn't come out, and I was counted down by my mother." But it's just too dry here. The two giggled, and Yanshu led Lixiang in.

Li Xiang stepped forward and saluted, "Four small families, the third lady has a few boxes of flour fat." It is said that it is a craft in the palace, and it is made with several traditional Chinese medicines with the rose juice offered in Pingyin County, which is the most moisturizing and nourishing beauty, and two boxes are specially set aside to give to Miss Four and Miss Liu. ”

Yuxuan listened and said happily: "Quickly bring it up and I'll take a look." ”

Li Xiang handed over the two boxes of grease, and Yuxuan took it and looked at it with Liu Qi.

The small porcelain box is small and exquisite, it is very valuable in itself, open it and see, the pale pink grease is solidified in the porcelain box, Yuxuan took the little fingertip and wiped it on her hand, and it was really slippery, and there was a slight rose fragrance spreading.

Yuxuan smiled: "Where did my sister get it from?" ”

Li Xiang replied with a smile: "Fourth Miss, I said that the lord of Shuyang County sent someone to send it, and said that if it is used well, she will go to the palace to ask for more." ”

Liu Qi was speechless: "How can you ask for things in the palace casually?" ”

Li Xiang said: "The things in the palace are naturally not easy to take, first, the lord of Shuyang County is deeply loved by the queen, and then these greases are made for the girls, and there is no princess in the palace, and the queen is not all given to the lord of Shuyang and the lord of Yuyang." ”

Yuxuan said: "I see, then we are welcome." But I'm embarrassed to take other people's things, so let's do something for the county lord of Shuyang. “

But what to send Shuyang, the two didn't have a good idea, so they decided to go to Yujing to ask.

Yujing listened and smiled: "I need you to say that I have already sent some good things over." Why don't you know thank me? ”

Liu Qi said: "Naturally, I want to thank Sister Jing, or I will embroider a handkerchief for Sister Jing." ”

Yujing smiled: "Teasing you, it's really serious." As he spoke, he said, "You two only know how to hide in the house to be warm, don't you know that something big has happened in Beijing?" ”

Yuxuan was stunned: "What's the big deal?" Could it be that the court is shaking? Will it affect the father? “

Yujing saw that the two of her faces were frightened, and smiled: "If it is a matter of the court, can my father still sit?" It's just a scandal in the boudoir, which is only circulating in the inner house. I still listen to what Shuyang said. ”

Yuxuan and Liu Qi were curious, and gathered around Yujing, looking like they wanted to listen to gossip.

Yujing thought it was funny and told them about it.

It turned out that Ding Shoufu's granddaughter Ding Lin has always been proud of her talents, and she is highly sought after by a group of teenagers, among which Tai Changqing's son Duan Ziming chases Ding Lin the most enthusiastically.

A few days ago, Mrs. Shoufu took Ding Lin to the East Palace to participate in the three baptisms of the grandson, Ding Lin and Duan Ziming were blocked in a side hall, and both of them were disheveled.

When such a scandal occurred in the East Palace, the prince was furious on the spot, but because it was about the first assistant, he suppressed the matter at that time, and ordered the two families to reflect afterwards.

But at that time, many ladies and ladies saw it, and they couldn't stop others from chewing their tongues in their own homes.

Shuyang was also present at the time and knew more about it.

Ding Lin was disheveled at the time, obviously she was torn.

Duan Ziming knelt in front of Mrs. Shoufu and kowtowed to admit his mistake, and said that Miss Mu Ding had been famous for a long time and was willing to come to the door to ask for marriage.

Yuxuan and Liu Qi looked at each other when they heard this, and they didn't know what to say.

Yujing said again: "It's good that you know about this yourself, don't talk about it anymore." ”

But the scandal is like a moth with wings, how can it be stopped?

It was already boring in winter, and suddenly there was a gossip that shocked the circle of nobles in the upper class, and everyone was as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, where to pay attention to the blockade of the East Palace.

The people of the city also found the quiet streets, and the carriage of the noble lady began to flow in the streets again.

Within a few days, not only the noble ladies found out, but the small people in the market also began to whisper to each other.

Because Tai Changqing's son-in-law Duan Ziming knelt at the door of Shoufu with more than 100 dowries, and kept asking to marry Miss Ding Lin, Shoufu's only granddaughter.

In the Shoufu Mansion, Ding Shoufu's face is pale, a good pearl in the palm, and the granddaughter carefully cultivated in the mansion is qualified to be the crown princess, but she was ruined by a small Taichangqing family who can only be a child.

Shoufu's third daughter-in-law, Ding Lin's mother knelt in front of Shoufu and his wife and cried bitterly, begging Shoufu not to agree to Duan Ziming's request outside the door.

Shoufu didn't say a word, and Mrs. Shoufu sighed: "It's all like this, you were also there at the time, our Sister Lin has been..."

Ding Lin's mother cried: "Mother, Sister Lin said that she was dizzy and unconscious after drinking a cup of tea handed over by the maid with a face, or because the crowd poured in and was woken up, she didn't know anything, she must have been plotted by someone, how can we let the traitor succeed!" ”

Ding Shoufu snorted coldly: "It's still careless on weekdays, how can you trust people easily!" ”

Ding Lin's mother said: "Who knew that there were still people around the Son of Heaven in the East Palace who had pickled thoughts. ”

Mrs. Shoufu said: "What's the use of talking about this now, the key is what to do with the beast outside the door!" When this happened, he didn't quietly come to the door to ask for a quilt to cover it, and everyone who wanted to kneel outside to make trouble was known. What kind of heart does Tai Changqing have! ”

was arguing, and a maid ran in in a panic and cried and shouted: "Old lady, old lady, madam, young lady has surrendered!" ”

Ding Ling's mother suddenly got up: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

The maid couldn't cry: "Before, the young lady smiled and said that she was going to get married, let's go to the library to pick up some more expensive cloth to make wedding dresses." When we came back, the young lady's body was hard. ”

Ding Lin's mother and Mrs. Shoufu were spread on the ground, and they couldn't even cry.

Ding Shoufu stood up, his eyes bursting: "Tai Changqing, this erection, I will not spare you!" ”

Duan Ziming did everything he could to find out that he didn't marry Ding Lin, and because he forced Ding Lin to die, he was bitten by Shoufu and his colleagues.

First of all, there was a royal history to impeach Tai Changqing's godson for not being strict and forcing people to die for being an official, Tai Changqing was unwilling to be bitten, and also united a group of people who disagreed with the first assistant to the government, saying that the first assistant's family style was not correct and he was not worthy of leading the cabinet.

Later, Duan Ziming was found dead in the stinky ditch on Hualiu Street in Dongcheng, and there was an uproar.

The faction led by Shoufu and the faction gathered by Taichangqing began to attack each other, and gradually Yang Gelao of the cabinet also began to stand on the opposite side of Ding Shoufu.

An internal scandal actually changed the pattern of the court, which was unexpected by everyone at that time.

No matter how the court argued, Ding Lin and Duan Ziming did wrongs in the end.

The people in the market didn't care about the bloody fight of the adults in the court, so they only spread a scandal to Xiangyan and made several versions.

This incident aroused the vigilance of the upper-class nobles, and the communication was still going on, but no more talent shows were held, and the young ladies of each family were also detained at home to be the female Hongmo "Boudoir Training", and the talented girls were no longer the daughters-in-law candidates of the housewives.

Yuxuan was surprised that the girl who was still alive and proud a few days ago died overnight, and she couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of Ding Linlai.

Even Yujing and Shuyang, who had always been at odds with Ding Lin, were locked in the house to mourn when they heard the news of her death.

Only Yuqian was angry, just a few days after she became famous for her piano skills, the advantage had already turned into a disadvantage, and the lady who was enthusiastic about her a few days ago talked about it left and right, and no longer mentioned family affairs.
