When Xia Shijie left his mother's house, there was a trace of hesitation in his heart, he rarely had such emotions in the past two years, and he was no longer the son of the Xia family who had to look at his father's face when he did everything when he was a child.

"She has not been educated by a big family, it is inappropriate to really be the head mother of a wealthy family, it is not appropriate to harm others and herself, even if it is not Ouyang Hao, it is not wrong to choose an ordinary family."

Xia Shijie exhaled.

He comforted himself and comforted him for a long time, remembering that night he drank with Ah Chan, and Ah Chan said such a thing when she was drunk, because she was really worried about Xia Hongchen and really worried about her.

Having said that, although he was so convinced, for some reason, there was still a little awkward in his heart.

If you change to Ah Chan, you want to marry someone like Ouyang Hao......

Hit him in the head first!

Even if the family is turned upside down, Ah Chan can't be allowed to suffer such grievances.

For a moment, this thought haunted his mind, and Xia Shijie smiled bitterly: "Ah Chan is different. "Yes, Ah Chan is a well-cultivated daughter in the family, and she can afford the position of the head mother of a family, and it is uncomfortable to enter a small household.

After silently reciting it three times in his heart, Xia Shijie still hesitated when he walked.

As soon as Shi Feng finished explaining his errand from the patriarch of Xia An, as soon as he got out of the hospital, he listened to Xia Shijie talking to himself, his face was distorted, he gritted his teeth, rolled his eyes, and snorted coldly: "You will find a reason for yourself when you arrive, hum, hypocrisy is extreme, people will understand that you are afraid that Miss Hongchen's marriage will be too good in the future, and you will always appear in your circle, reminding others that Xia Chan is an impostor!" What to pack! ”

"You!"

Xia Shijie frowned. looked annoyed, but Shi Feng didn't look at him, turned his head and left.

opened his mouth, Xia Shijie still didn't say much, Shi Feng was not happy recently, and his temperament was very different from before.

If he wants to change the past, he is hiding things in his heart, dissatisfied with himself, and he will never embarrass people in person like this, he has always understood the rules. Know the measure. Recent...... He is indeed in a bad mood, and he has a lot of adults, so he is not to blame.

"Phew, what do I do with this nosy. What a lard to blind the heart!! ”

Shook his head. Xia Shijie didn't understand either. Why did I suddenly have a brain twitch and insert such a hand!

Ouyang Hao's love is as deep as the sea, what does it matter to him!

Xia Shijie exhaled. Turning his head and leaving, he didn't think much about it in his heart, this time at most he pointed out Ouyang Hao and told him Hongchen's identity, without himself, Ouyang Hao could also inquire.

He is not a ruthless brother who forces his sister to marry, so why should he care about such a trivial matter!

Ningguo Marquis Mansion

Old Marquis Xue sneaked into the door from outside, not letting the people below report, and glanced at the window, his old wife was talking to the eldest daughter-in-law, with a little smile on her face, and lowered her voice: "I'll go to the purple girl today to listen to the tune, don't talk to the lady...... Tell Madame that I'm back. ”

Several maids and maids kept their heads down and did not speak.

Ning Hou shrank his head and turned around.

A gentle voice came from the room.

"Master Hou went out for a day, but he was really busy!"

Ning Hou's footsteps stopped suddenly, and as soon as he turned over, he turned around, his face was righteous and awe-inspiring: "I'm not busy, no matter how busy I am, I have to find time to accompany my mother-in-law, Yiyi, you go to accompany Song'er, and I'll talk to your mother-in-law." ”

The voice answered inside, and Mrs. Shizi said goodbye with a very good look.

Ning Hou entered the door with a smile, grabbed his old wife's shoulder, and took out a particularly delicate comb from his arms to offer treasure.

Mrs. Hou couldn't cry or laugh: "How old are you, you still send this, look at my white hair, comb it and lose more than a dozen." ”

"Where is the old, Fang'er, in my eyes, you will always be a twenty-eight girl!"

That's not an old monster!

Mrs. Hou sighed and turned her head to look at her man: "It's not that I won't let you go out, I know that you like to listen to tunes, we can also raise some singers, singers, and storytellers, why bother to go to places like Dielou." ”

The people at the bottom touted the Butterfly Tower, saying that there is nothing in the sky and no in the ground, when Mrs. Hou was not married, it was also very good there, but if she married someone, she still married a Hou Ye, and the ladies in the backyard communicated more to know that the Butterfly Tower was not simple.

Not to mention anything else, I don't know how many beauties in the harem come out of the butterfly building, they are once a year, and they train women like flowers and jade to send them to the mansions of various magnates, where is it just to take root in the capital?

"It's so good that our wife is peaceful, don't make trouble." Mrs. Hou always felt that the woman in there had a ghost in her heart, in case something big happened and her family was implicated, then what could she do!

Ning Hou smiled: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." ”

Can he not know that Butterfly Tower is not simple? But everyone has a concubine in Butterfly Building, and his family relies on a 'tigress' to sit in the town, so he has to clean the backyard, and then he doesn't go to Butterfly Tower for recreation and pastime, leaving a little handle, then An's birthday may really make waves.

Of course, Miss Zi'er's music is also really good, it is said that Liu Xiaoman's pipa is the best in the world, he feels ingenious when he listens to it, but it is a half-red and not red Zi'er girl, the singing voice is natural, rare in the world.

The two of them talked a few words, and Mrs. Hou suddenly remembered, turned her head and asked, "Your family is the demon king of the world entrusted you with an errand, can it be done?" ”

The corners of Ning Hou's mouth twitched: "It's done, dare not do it for him?" Just ......"

"It's just what, isn't it appropriate?"

"That's not it." Ning Hou frowned, a small jinshi, although his face was clear, he could write from head to toe the desire to climb up, how dare he explode in front of his dignified Ning Hou, "It's just that this person promised in his mouth, but I am afraid that he will not believe a word in his heart." ”

He met the little jinshi who had recently made a joke among the juniors, what was Ouyang Hao's name, he had a good name, but he was a sick brain.

The emperor is a scholar in the imperial examination, although he has won the world's talents, but occasionally he can also emerge a few dead readers, and the brain of reading is wooden, and he prefers luck, it seems that the examination system is still not perfect enough and needs to be improved.

Ning Hou thought that he had revealed everything he wanted to say, although he didn't explicitly say that Xia Hongchen was registered in front of Long Live that the Xia family was a serious lady and was about to be the queen's goddaughter. has to be named the county lord, but it is also pointed, that is the daughter valued by the people above, and the marriage has its own queen mother, and ordinary people still don't want to think about it.

When the ordinary scholar heard this, he would definitely hurry up and promise that he would never do it again, and he would not let the reputation of the young lady be affected in the slightest, and Ouyang Hao should also go down, saying that he would not harass the young lady, but how old is he. Who is Ning Hou? At a glance, I could see that this person didn't believe half a word of his words, and only when the Hou Mansion took a fancy to Miss Hongchen, he deliberately scared him!

It is estimated that Ouyang Hao only thinks that the so-called people above value Hongchen, and he refers to their Hou Mansion. But I don't want to think about it. If it's really for the junior's children's private feelings. Why did he make a move? There's no shame either.

"Young people, you always think too highly of yourself."

Ning Hou was also young, and he still understood the mentality of young scholars. That Ouyang Hao has just been named on the gold list, and he is proud of the spring breeze, I am afraid that he still wants to be a marquis and worship the prime minister in a blink of an eye, and be a famous minister in the world.

Most of the young people who think they are talented have probably had such dreams, especially those who have successfully fought in the imperial examination army, without experiencing the polishing of the world, all of them are sharp, I am afraid that Ouyang Hao will still slander at this time, and feel that the Hou Mansion is oppressive.

Ning Hou sneered: "That's it, as long as he doesn't make trouble, even if our son's requirements are met, there will be a little mess, and Miss Hongchen can solve it." ”

Xue Baiqiao is the youngest son of Ning Hou, he only has one wife in his life, gives birth to two sons, values the eldest son the most, but loves the youngest son the most, otherwise Xue Baiqiao when he was a child would not be spoiled as a little gentleman, and now the younger son speaks, he, the 'filial son', must not stand idly by.

The Hou Mansion lightly suppressed the matter, and the saint who had all the opportunities also got a secret report, and he was very angry.

"The imperial examination is selected for the country, and those who are selected are all these things, do you know what etiquette is!"

The Emperor frowned.

The old eunuch hurriedly went over and picked up the yellow fold that his old man had thrown on the ground, wiped it, and respectfully presented it to the imperial case.

The emperor was angry for a while, in the end it was not a big deal, but more because he felt ashamed, now that the envoys of Northern Yan are in Beijing, let the news of the county lord of Jinshi 'forced marriage' spread randomly, does he want to lose face?

Beiyan's gang is the most gossipy.

"Okay, let the Ministry of Rites hurry up, don't finish grinding on one thing."

Hongchen was really canonized as the county lord, and those villains must no longer dare to harass at will, besides, with the county lord's mansion, the high-ranking families will pretend to be people, and ordinary people will not collide.

In fact, this matter was decided early in the morning, but the work efficiency of the Ministry of Rites is also famous in Da Zhou.

There was once a county lord who got married, and the emperor chose the title to be canonized, but when the county lord even had a child, the title came out, and the emperor almost forgot about it.

The emperor lowered his head and continued to approve the folds, but said very casually: "You go to the Ministry of Rites in person." ”

The old eunuch responded, thinking in his heart that he would see Miss Hongchen in the future, then he had to pay three points, don't care what the Lord is for, at least two or three points are to give face to the young lady, it seems that Yingchuan matter, the Lord of Long Live at least thinks that the young lady is very useful.

For many years, there are only a few juniors who have been cared for by his old man, and the most hearty one is their majestic ninth master of the palace, and the second is the lord of Ronghua, that Miss Hongchen is not ranked third, and it seems that she can be ranked in the top ten.

The old eunuch went out, glanced back at his master, and sighed in his heart, he was afraid that he was busy.

Long live the Lord only said that he should run the Ministry of Rites once, but it will be over after one trip? Then you have to do the errand beautifully, so that the long-lived Lord is satisfied.

If he wants to even do this thing, His Majesty must explain it carefully before he can do it, so let alone standing in his current position, even whether this head can be saved depends on the will of God.

In a place like the palace, if a slave says the three words "see the will of heaven", most of them are not far from death, and if they don't die once, next time, next time, they will not be able to live.

"Princess, is this going on a business trip?"

As soon as he turned the corner, the shadow of the Yin Measurement swayed, the old eunuch was shocked, his face did not move in all directions, he looked up, and said with a smile: "How can the ninth master be alone, but the service below is not good?" ”

In the palace, there is only one who can be called the ninth master, and there is only one strong king, Chen Wei.

It was the emperor who shouted out first, and told a group of clan dignitaries that the ninth master of his family had a bad temper, and if he made a fuss one day, everyone would avoid it first, and he was angry, so naturally there was nothing.

Since then, the eunuchs in the palace have called him the ninth master. shouted like this in front of Banzai, and the emperor was still happy and not annoyed.

Chen Wei's face was pale, he seemed to be a little sleepy, leaning against the wall, smiling without smiling: "I turn around by myself, I look clean, and the prince has something to do." ”

"Then the old slave will go first, and then go back and say hello to the ninth master."

The old eunuch hunched and withdrew, and remembered it as soon as he pondered it. It's the end of May. The ninth prince didn't want to enter the palace to say goodbye to his mother, but when he turned around, he had to explain to the grandchildren under his hand to be smart, don't hinder the eyes of this lord.

Chen Wei saw that the old eunuch had walked away, and slowly moved his steps against the wall. Walk towards Ganquan Palace.

The queen's original sleeping palace was too deserted. It's a little stuffy again. A while ago, His Majesty ordered the queen to move to Ganquan Palace, and this decree was made quietly. It is a verbal message, only the people in the inner government are busy, and the outer court knows it late, but it has also set off countless undercurrents, and some people even think that this is the precursor of the queen's return to favor and the harmony of the emperor and queen.

It's a pity that after the queen moved to the palace, she still stayed in the palace like a bodhisattva, and the long-lived lord still didn't go to see the queen as usual, and at most she went to sit for a while and a half when she had something to do.

The people below are not foolish, the emperor and queen are two gods, no matter how much trouble they make, they have to be careful to serve at the bottom, and now Yu Guifei is the sixth palace of the favored crown, and the young masters can't look at it, but in front of the queen, they don't dare to blow up the thorn as usual!

The Nine Emperors are rampant in the palace, and today they came to see his mother-in-law, and they still tidied up their clothes and were respectful.

But today, the queen still only let him kowtow outside the palace, and the big palace maid in the palace handed him a bowl of sour plum soup, and let him go after drinking it.

The queen treats all the princes the same, giving sour plum soup in spring, mung bean soup, red bean soup in autumn, and a bowl of red date ginger tea in winter.

At first, there were still people muttering, but then year after year, everyone got used to it, if the queen mother suddenly became enthusiastic one day, I am afraid that those princes will be worried.

But today, Chen Wei suddenly wanted to see his mother-in-law, and endured it for a long time before swallowing back the words that came out of his mouth, and slowly left again.

Before leaving, I turned around, and saw a tall palace maid, carefully holding a burden in her hand, and entered the house through the side door.

Chen Wei paused, there was no one around him, and as soon as he left the palace gate, a little eunuch came to him.

"Master, the aunt next to Niangniang went to the inner mansion and asked for a batch of satin, it seems that she wants to make a court dress, and the satin she took away has the high-grade red satin of Jiangnan tribute, which should be the court dress used by the county lord."

Chen Wei nodded, and suddenly smiled.

He rarely laughs, and on weekdays he laughs either sneering or sarcastic, but today he doesn't have so much meaning when he laughs, he just smiles.

"Let's go, Niangniang is in a good mood, don't forget to tell the imperial dining room to buy more bamboo shoots."

The matter of canonizing the county lord was originally a grind, but as soon as the old eunuch next to His Majesty in the palace came out, the Ministry of Rites went all the way.

Ten auspicious titles were selected in a row, just waiting to be presented to His Majesty for approval.

The emperor specially explained that he wanted to pick one by himself, and the Ministry of Rites naturally did not dare to slack off, not only the Ministry of Rites, but also the court clothes of the Inner Mansion were also in place early in the morning, and the county lord's mansion was also circled out early, just waiting for the renovation and decoration, and welcomed the new county lord to live in.

The officials are also very neat.

The list of the first batch of expatriate officials was quickly decided, and the first one was Ouyang Hao, who let people go to the northwest with a rod, which is still a remote and small county town, to be the county commander.

can get a county order for the first time, even if he is from a jinshi, it is decent, and it is not bad, but it is the northwest, and it is still a barren land with a lot of bandits, and I don't know how much joy Ouyang Haozhong will have left after Jinshi.

Within a few days, the eunuch who had made the decree arrived.

The general meaning is that from today onwards, Hongchen will be promoted from a folk girl to the lord of Rong'an.

Hongchen and the others knew the news early in the morning, but they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, especially Hongchen, who was simply surprised.

Rong An?

The title is not very special, it looks like a big road goods, but it uses a Rong word. In fact, there are many county lords canonized by the emperor, and there are many clans, and the daughters of meritorious heroes are sometimes canonized, but there are very few titles, and the word honor is even rarer, only the concubines of the royal serious princes have this honor.

After a while, Hongchen remembered to let people take a purse as a reward and send these eunuchs away.

The inner government also sent two grandmothers to teach her some rules, as well as the steps of the canonization ceremony, the county lord of the Great Zhou Book is relatively simple, but no matter how simple it is, you have to wear court clothes to the palace to toss around, and it will be a shame if you make a mistake.

Luo Niang's heart beat a drum. Haosheng invited Mama to enter the door, and was relieved when he made contact, these two Mammas were kind and tight, not as majestic and rigid as they imagined, Hongchen was not timid at all, and he was comfortable with it.

The people of the inner government have always come to see people put down dishes, if they treat you officially, indifferently, it means that you are not important in the eyes of the people above, but once you are the emperor or the lady above very important. These people can be washed away in no time.

Of course. In fact, there is a slight difference, not smart people may not be able to see it, these people know best what it means to be kind to others.

It's pretty easy to learn the rules.

Hongchen didn't want to enter the palace. It's not a maid slave either. It's a county lord. Being a master is much freer.

The two grandmothers both felt that Miss Hongchen was very spiritual, and any thing could be remembered by the other party as long as she said it once. If something is wrong, they point it out once, and the other person will never do it a second time.

If the little masters in the palace were so worry-free, the two of them felt that they could work for another ten years before retiring.

But after two days, the two of them had nothing to teach, took a rich red envelope, and happily returned to the inner house.

Luo Niang went to send it, Hongchen politely thanked her, and the two grandmothers were happy: "We are ashamed of this thanks, the rules of the county lord are very good, even without us, there will be no mistakes." ”

This is very sincere, they all suspected for a while that the gossip news circulating in the palace was fake, saying that this lord of Rong'an is a countryman, and he can get His Majesty's blue eyes, so I don't know how much luck he has taken, but look at people, walking, sitting and lying, which place is no worse than those serious masters!

went out and got into the donkey cart that came to pick up from the palace, and the two grandmothers looked at each other and exhaled in unison.

An old lady smiled bitterly: "Everything else is fine, but it's stressful." ”

"You're okay, when I taught the county lord the rules, I didn't dare to look at her eyes, and when I looked up, I felt that it was facing our mother."

The two old grandmothers also served in the palace in their early years, and they also served the queen, and when they saw Hongchen's face, the pressure naturally increased suddenly.

The two of them were under pressure, Luo Niang was also under pressure, these two grandmothers left, only then did they breathe a sigh of relief, the whole person relaxed, gently opened the box of Huanghuali, looked at the county lord's court clothes in his eyes, and then looked at the golden crown placed on it, and exhaled: "This court dress is really exquisite, the embroidery is excellent, and the Luan bird on it is like a living, especially these eyes, full of spirituality." ”

Hongchen looked at it, and couldn't help but pick up the satin, stretched out her hand and touched it, the court clothes were really good, and unlike the standard court clothes made by the general inner government, she had seen the county lord wearing court clothes before, although the colors were similar, but I really saw it, and the good and bad were also clear.

"It's still a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the palace."

Xiao Yan has always been particularly interested in needlework, Luo Niang beckoned her to come and see, the group was looking carefully, and a little girl who was a maid knocked on the door and came in: "Miss, there is a woman kneeling at the door, saying that she is begging Miss to help." ”

Hongchen was stunned.

Luo Niang frowned: "Miss, don't move first, and let me take a look." She took Xiao Yan out together, and after a while, she came back helplessly, crying and laughing: "Somehow, it's endless, and it's that Ouyang Hao who is making trouble again." ”

These days, Ouyang Hao had died down, there was no movement, everyone was relieved, and they didn't think that it would take a few days to have an accident.

"The person who came claimed to be Wei's, but Ouyang Hao's mother, said that her son was seriously ill and bedridden, and he could not be cured for a long time, and if he delayed it any longer, he was afraid that he would miss the time limit for leaving Beijing by the imperial court, and when the time came, he would be disliked by the Lord Banzai, and his son's future would be gone, so I hope Miss Hongchen can go to visit."

Hongchen: "......"

Xiao Yan's face turned blue with anger: "What is this!" ”

Hongchen is not a doctor, he went to the hospital when he was sick, and he looked for their young lady to do a mess!

"I asked people to coax her to leave, and if she doesn't leave, I'll report to the official." Luo Niang muttered angrily, "I don't know where the county lord's mansion is built, didn't that father-in-law say that the long-lived lord will give the mansion, let's move out quickly, the environment here is still a little messy." ”

Hongchen sighed.

She had just set up the garden, and she wanted to move, and she had to move the various organs in the garden back to her new home as they were, which was a big project.

On the second day, it was not yet dawn.

Hongchen was woken up by the chaotic chatter.

Luo Niang and Xiao Yan were talking outside, although they still lowered their voices, but it was far from enough for her.

After hearing two sentences, Hongchen sat up and was completely awake - Na Wei came to the door again, and this time let her unconscious son take her.

One old and one weak, poked at the door, 'azure scenery'. (To be continued.) )
