Chapter 12 Xiang Hong
Xiang Hong turned around, raised his eyebrows slightly, and saw King Jin in a vermilion robe panting from a distance, bowed generously, and said, "I haven't seen the prince for many days, and your complexion looks better than ever." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
King Jin smiled, knowing that he was making fun of himself shouting at the gate of the palace regardless of his image, and he didn't care about him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I have recently made a few new poems, and invited a few Hanlin to enjoy the poems together, just tonight in Tianxianglou, why don't you go together?" ”
Xiang Hong said: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that the teacher asked the officials to talk today, why don't I visit another day?" ”
King Jin didn't expect Xiang Hong to refuse him, but in a blink of an eye, he thought that wouldn't it be better if he could go to the palace, so he agreed with a smile.
The two talked for a while, and King Jin reluctantly said goodbye to Xiang Hong and went to Tianxiang Tower.
Xiang Hong sat in the flower hall of Chen's mansion, his posture was upright, and he fell down unhurriedly, causing Chen Xingshi on the opposite side to shout that he had made a mistake.
Chen Anshi, who was sitting on the side, touched his beard and smiled, "Second brother, Qingtan has superb chess skills, even Meng Lao Guogong is not his opponent, it is not a shame for you to lose under him." ”
Meng Lao Guogong, that is, Meng Jue, the Duke of Wenguo, once served as the emperor of Taifu, a noble family, is the only family of nobles who was knighted because of Wen, and his descendants are also named after Wen, and his son Meng Zeyuan is a famous Confucian in the world.
Chen Xingshi said: "That's it, the future life is terrifying!" ”
Xiang Hong smiled humbly: "Lord Chen agreed." ”
Chen Anshi said: "It's rare for him to praise people, you don't have to be polite in Qingtan, besides, his stinky chess basket is really bitter for you." ”
Chen Xingshi said: "I can't win Qingtan, could it be that you won?" ”
Chen Anshi said: "I can always afford to lose, and Qingtan is my student, if I get this, I have no regrets in this life!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but show off his high apprenticeship.
The maid standing aside said softly, "Uncle is back." ”
Xiang Hong got up, looked at Chen Yuezong who was walking and said, "Chengji, you can let me wait." ”
Chen Yuezong saluted his father's second uncle first, and then hugged his fists and begged for mercy, "There are many things in the yamen, you don't know it, there have been a few murders recently, and the prisoner died and did not admit his guilt, so it was too late to toss." ”
Chen Yuezong and Xiang Hong were Jinshi in the same year, Xiang Hong once worshipped his father Chen Anshi as a teacher, and even lived in his house before the exam, and later ordered Shu Jishi together, and the relationship between the two was naturally very close. Although Chen Yuezong is now serving as a general judge in Jingzhao Mansion, and Xiang Hong is a staff member in the household department, and he does not often work in one place, Xiang Hong often comes to the mansion as a guest, and the relationship is not estranged.
Chen Xingshi said: "But Liu Siniang's murder case? ”
Chen Yuezongqi said: "How can the second uncle know? Could it be that this case has already alarmed Dali Temple? "Chen Xingshi is currently serving as the head of Dali Temple, in charge of the criminal name and prison.
Chen Xingshi waved his hand, "You still don't want to investigate this matter anymore." ”
Chen Anshi also felt strange, "Why is this? ”
Xiang Hong said in a deep voice on the side: "I'm afraid that the Wei family is gone, and it has something to do with Lord Chen!" ”
Chen Xingshi was surprised: "You also know? Also, the household department is now considered their Wei family. ”
Chen Yuezong said: "Could it be that Wei Wuyi really fell in love with Liu Siniang, so he sent someone to kill people?" Seeing that Chen Xingshi nodded, he said disdainfully: "The Wei family is so powerful that they don't even care about human life." It is really hateful to forcibly rob people's women! ”
Chen Xingshi said: "The Wei family is just a nouveau riche who started with their daughter, and in the past few years, they have been carried away and have become more and more out of order!" "There was disdain in the words.
Chen Anshi couldn't help but have a headache, this younger brother has always been straightforward and fast-talking, jealous and hateful, and he couldn't control his temper in front of his juniors when he was old, so he only said: "This matter is up to your second uncle, don't check it first, catch this handle, it will always be useful in the future." ”
Chen Yuezong nodded yes.
Xiang Hong seemed to think of something, and said: "I remember that Your Majesty ordered troops to go out this time, and also ordered Wei Wuyi to be the deputy marshal." ”
Chen Xingshi was even more disdainful, "It's not that the concubine blows the pillow wind, if you want to learn from Wei's relatives to make contributions, you have to see if you have that ability!" ”
"Second brother, be cautious!" Chen Anshi issued a warning.
"If it weren't for the fact that His Royal Highness King Duan accidentally fell off his horse this time and was in a coma for a few days, he wouldn't have let the Wei family plant people in the Northwest Army." Chen Xingshi said again: "Doesn't he just want to follow Fang Ji to grab military merits!" There is such a deputy marshal who is against Fang Ji in the army, and it ...... if Fang Ji can come back this time."
The flower hall fell silent, Chen Anshi raised his head and sighed: "That's it, that kid has an idea in his heart, let's do something if we can do something as an uncle." ”
Chen Yuezong said: "Speaking of Cousin Pei, last time I heard that his stepmother was going around to help him inquire about marriage!" ”
Chen Xingshi is a cannon temper, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately jumped up: "I also said why Fang Ji survived his father's filial piety and never decided to marry, it turned out that the old witch had this idea." "Do you want to take advantage of Pei Ze's absence in Beijing to set a family affair for him? What kind of good family can it be if you enter the eyes of the old witch!
If you want to cut it first and then play it, it depends on whether their uncles agree or not!
In the Shen Garden, Zhuang Yan was leaning on the couch and reading the account book.
Bai Qi came in and said, "The young lady has come to see you." ”
Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then thought that this eldest young lady referred to the wife of Zhuang Jingzhe, the eldest son of Jin Wangshu, He Shi, that is, the eldest daughter-in-law of her nominal mother, Concubine Fu. So he took the account books, put on his shoes and went to the lodging to greet him.
He is of medium stature, standing next to Zhuang Yan and half a head shorter than her, but he is gentle and beautiful, and his gestures are everyone's demeanor.
He smiled lightly: "Big sister, don't think I'm bothering me late at night, it's really that I was unwell that day, so I didn't go to my mother to say goodbye." I heard your brother say that you have been bored in your room for the past few days, so I thought of coming to talk to you. ”
Zhuang Yan stretched out his hand to help He Shi and said: "Sister-in-law, this is to see me, reasoning, it should be me to meet my sister-in-law, and you should come over in person." As he spoke, he looked at He's expression and saw that she didn't have any boredom, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhuang Yan helped He to sit on the kang, and the girl untied the cloak on He's body and got on the kang herself, only to find that He's abdomen was slightly bulging.
Seeing Zhuang Yan's surprised eyes, He said shyly: "It was this little thing that was tossed to death by this little thing two days ago, and I was happy for a month, and I haven't been out of the yard much." Seeing Zhuang Yan curious again, he beckoned to her, "Why don't you touch it?" ”
Zhuang Yan said: "Is it okay?" The body had already neatly landed on the kang and stood beside He.
He smiled: "Why not, you are her aunt!" He grabbed her hand and gently stroked her abdomen.
Zhuang Yan touched a pregnant woman's belly for the first time, and couldn't help but be curious, and kept looking at He's belly: "It's a little hard!" So will he move now? Is it okay for me to touch him like this? But she didn't notice that He Shi's gaze fell on her with a little sympathy.
An eighteen-year-old girl, only half a year younger than herself. Ordinary daughters are thirteen or fourteen married, fifteen or sixteen married, most of the people of her age have husbands and children, where is like her, the family affairs are still undecided!
A first-class appearance, a first-class family background, but it's a concubine!
