Chapter 134: Lotus Picking
Wang Jintang glared at Wang Miaozhen and said, "You say it again?" ”
Wang Miaozhen rolled her eyes and muttered, "If you want us to go, just go...... Don't expect me to have anything nice to say about the princess and princess......"
Seeing that his father was about to be angry, Wang Miaoyan hurriedly smiled and said: "My little sister can't turn her mind for a while, don't be angry." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info naturally have me watching from the sidelines when the time comes. ”
Wang Jintang nodded and sat back in his seat. He turned to Wang Yu and said, "Wait for two days, the invitation card from the palace will be delivered, and you will go to Jinling first to find a safe house to buy." Otherwise, it is always inconvenient for people like us to stay overnight and stay in guest houses. ”
Wang Yu's mind had already flown to Jinling in the distance. It turns out that she is about to make a break...... In the whole family, the father, as the elder, can send a congratulatory gift on behalf of the Wang family. The stepmother and sisters are female dependents, and congratulatory gifts should also be given. He alone has no defensible reason to give this congratulatory gift. If you're not careful, you might get her in trouble.
His hand rubbed the buttons on the lid of the teacup repeatedly. The hatred of seeing each other late turned out to be like this.
"Yu'er?" Wang Jintang looked at his son with some confusion.
Wang Yu came back to his senses and responded: "Yes, father, I know." I've been packing up for the past two days, and I'll leave as soon as the invitation arrives. ”
Wang Jintang nodded with satisfaction.
On the morning of this day, when the sun was not yet at the end of the day, Xuanhui asked the boat lady to drive a small boat over, and took Yuan Xiang and Cai Wei to pick lotus flowers in the lotus bush in Xiliu Lake.
Xuanhui asked the boat lady: "I heard that this June is the time to eat lotus seeds, I don't know if it is or not?" ”
The boat lady stood on the bow of the boat and said with a smile: "The princess listens well. Now the lotus seeds are just ripe, and they are a little crispy, and they taste fragrant, sweet and fresh. ”
Xuanhui smiled and nodded, and Pei Minzhong told her when she left, if you are bored, you can take a boat to the lake to pick lotus flowers, and the lotus seeds at this time are the most delicious.
She assigned work to the two maids: "Yuanxiang, you only take scissors to collect some stamens, and then we will dry them and make tea." Cai Wei, you pull some lotus leaves down, and wait for Ming'er to make lotus leaf rice to eat. ”
She took a small pair of silver scissors in her hand, and cut out the plump lotus canopy and put it in the small basket beside her.
The boat lady has a rather bold personality, and she doesn't seem rigid because Xuanhui is a princess. While holding the boat, she hummed a Jiangnan tune: "...... The river is surging thousands of miles away, why not turn the boat around and shake it? Hate the autumn wind blowing away the beauty across the maple bridge......"
Xuanhui tore open a piece of lotus pod, took out a lotus seed, carefully put the lotus heart on the handkerchief, and then put the lotus seed in his mouth. The breeze, the canopy, the lotus incense, and the minor tunes are as pleasant as an ink painting.
When he got ashore, Xuan Hui found that Yang Yunshu had brought Liang Hao to cool off in the pavilion by the lake. She took a lotus pod to tease Liang Hao, and took it away when he was about to catch it. repeated it several times, so angry that Liang Hao burst into tears.
Xuanhui hurriedly stuffed the lotus canopy into Liang Hao's hand, and the nurse on the side hurriedly said: "Princess, the prince is still young, and he can't eat this thing." ”
Yang Yunshu hugged his son and smiled: "It's not in the way, he can't tear this thing either, just play with it in his hand!" ”
"When you cry, tears and snot flow together, it's really ugly. Don't cry in the future, right? Xuanhui said to Liang Hao while peeling lotus seeds.
Liang Hao didn't care about the aunt who was talking to him, and kept fiddling with the lotus back and forth with his hands.
Yang Yunshu smiled: "You, you are like an adult on weekdays, and you play like a child when you play with Mao'er." I don't know if you will have a child in two years, but it will still be like this? ”
Xuanhui's face was slightly red, and he argued forcefully: "Whoever has a child in two years!" When the filial piety period is out, it is true that you have a few more children, sister-in-law. ”
The expression on Yang Yunshu's face was slightly gloomy: "Out of the filial piety period, the newcomer should enter the door, where do I have time to have more children!" ”
Accustomed to seeing all kinds of concubines of his father in the palace, Xuanhui has always felt that it is normal for a man to have wives and concubines. However, after becoming more and more in love with Pei Minzhong, she even ate a girl's vinegar.
So she somewhat understands Yang Yunshu's mood, but all of this is ...... Whether it is fate or luck, Yang Yunshu is not the only one who is trapped in it.
"I suddenly remembered that I was in Jiming Temple a while ago," Xuan Hui diverted the topic, "Mrs. Meng talked about Meng Gongzi's study for the imperial examination. ”
"Now the capital is in the hands of thieves, and the regulations and laws of the imperial court are abolished. Since the third brother is the heir of his father and queen, why not reopen the imperial examination? ”
"This ......," Yang Yunshu muttered, "now that we have just arrived in Jinling, everything is not yet complete. I think the meaning of the prince should be to recapture the capital and reopen the imperial examination on the day when the imperial court is rebuilt. ”
Xuanhui said with great interest: "It doesn't have to be like this at all! If you wait until then, there will be thousands of scholars like Meng Gongzi in the world. Could it be that they have been waiting for it to fail? Don't you even have a little hope? ”
"If you want to recover the Great Zhou, money, grain, territory, and popularity are all indispensable. In the past few years, the third brother has managed this place in the south of the Yangtze River, and he naturally has no worries about money and food. With money and food, it is naturally not difficult to defend the territory, not only is it easy to recruit soldiers, but ordinary people outside will also run over. But ordinary people can't see this item, and only scholars who care about national affairs can say a thing or two. ”
"Jiangnan is a place of enlightenment and enlightenment, if the third brother reopens the imperial examination here, there will be benefits and no disadvantages." Xuanhui saw Yang Yunshu's expression of approval, and added another handful of firewood: "Sister-in-law, when the third brother comes back, you can go and talk to him." ”
Yang Yunshu smiled: "It was originally your idea, why don't you dare to tell the prince?" ”
"Sister-in-law, at that time, you persuaded me in Xuzhou to be a woman who stood side by side with Pei Shizi. I give it to you today. ”
"But......" Yang Yunshu showed hesitation, "The rules set from Taizu's hands are that harem women are not allowed to interfere in politics." How can I stretch out such a long hand to take care of the prince's affairs? ”
Xuan Hui sighed secretly and said, Yang Ge Lao really has a very strict family education, and even these have been taught to Yang Yunshu. But although the way of the sages has their reasoning, they have forgotten the word "time".
If Yang Yunshu doesn't become the woman who can discuss state affairs, give advice, and confide in Liang Zhan, she will naturally be able to fill this vacant position if she is as shrewd as Wang Miaoyan. If Liang Zan only used her to take advantage of each other, then it would not be difficult to deal with Wang Miaoyan whether she was honored or treated as if she were nothing.
But if Liang Zan has a dependence on her and gradually develops feelings, it will be very bad. (To be continued.) )
