Fifty-second round
Cai Wei might as well His Royal Highness King Yingchuan also entered this pavilion and took the initiative to greet himself, could it be that he didn't recognize himself, but deliberately turned a blind eye and pretended not to know?
Only, what is the reason for this?
"Because my fourth brother is also there, there are some inconveniences, so I didn't greet the girl, and I ask the girl to forgive me." Seeing that Cai Wei was about to salute him, Qin Min hurriedly stopped and explained this sentence to her again.
What he couldn't say was that his fourth brother always liked to go against him, and if he saw him know this Zhou girl, he didn't know what thoughts he would have, for fear that it would disturb her, so he only didn't know it. It's just that when he thinks of the inexplicable look in Qin Fei's eyes when he looked at him, could it be that he still saw something ......?
Cai Wei hurriedly said: "The people don't dare, the people haven't thanked His Highness for the grace of breaking the siege, if it weren't for His Royal Highness who happened to pass by and took away the King of Linchuan, the people didn't know how to get out!" ”
It's just that how could these two highnesses come to this mansion to congratulate Mrs. Huang on her birthday? Although she was curious, she couldn't ask it.
Fortunately, King Yingchuan is not only very intelligent, but also extremely empathetic. "My biological mother was the younger sister of Li Shilang, and my mother treated me very well and often ordered me to come and walk around my uncle's house. I don't want to go out today to pay my aunt's birthday, I happened to meet the fourth brother, and I don't know what he thought, saying that he had never come to this house to play, and I must have brought him to my aunt's birthday. I couldn't see him for a moment, and he ran into the girl. ”
Thinking of Cai Wei's mockery of Qin Fei, Qin Min smiled again: "However, I didn't expect the girl to be so eloquent, my fourth brother has always been used to messing around, and he is the best at messing around, and he has always seen him bully others, but now it's the first time I've seen him fall behind!" ”
"Your Highness laughed, I don't know if Your Highness came out in the rain, but is there anything urgent?" This highness is not in good health, but he still has to walk in the rain, if there is really something, don't delay here.
Qin Min suddenly turned his face away a little uncomfortably, coughed lightly twice, and said after a while, "I forgot to tell my uncle a sentence, and I want to go over and find his old man again." ”
After a pause, he said: "I happened to see the girl enjoying the rain here, so I came over to talk about it, but I am afraid that the rain will not stop for a while, so it is better for me to go with me and ask the maids in this house to send rain gear, so that it is convenient for the girl to walk." ”
Cai Wei didn't shirk either, thanked him, and the little chamberlain went with an umbrella, leaving the three of them standing in the pavilion.
For a while, the two of them didn't know what to say, and they were a little embarrassed, so they listened to Qin Min say: "The next volume of "Youyang Miscellaneous Notes" that the girl gave to her mother, my mother liked it very much, and felt that it was not only better than the previous volume, but also had a great aura in the pen, and read it carefully for a month before lending it to me to read. It's just a pity ......"
When Qin Min said this, he sighed faintly, and said as if he was very apologetic: "Because I love this book so much, I put it on my study desk on weekdays. I don't want to find no trace of this book a few days ago, and then I searched the entire palace, but I didn't find the whereabouts of this book. Therefore, the book is not only given by the girl, but also the book of my mother's love, although my mother never said anything about me, but I always feel guilty and uneasy. I was thinking about how to find another book to pay for my mother, but I didn't expect to see my aunt today but I happened to meet a girl. ”
"I don't know ......, but the girl still has a copy of the next volume of this book? If there is, Xiao Wang wants to make another copy and dedicate it to his mother. King Yingchuan, who has always been calm and clear, was a little embarrassed at this time.
Cai Wei didn't know if he knew that this book was actually dictated by her and written by Mama Du. The concubine knows, but this is about a lady who read a book that shouldn't be read, and rewrote a book herself, I think the concubine shouldn't sue her son! It's just that this book naturally still has to be given, but I and Mama Du spent a few more nights rewriting it, maybe this time it can be better than the last one.
So Cai Wei said: "Maybe Mama Du has received it there, wait for me to go back and ask her, if there is, let her send it to His Royal Highness." ”
"In this way, Xiao Wang thanked the girl first." Seeing that the waiter had come back with an umbrella, saying that he had informed the maid beside Mrs. Huang, Qin Min said: "I think someone will send rain gear over from time to time, Xiao Wang still has some things, take the first step." ”
Cai Wei looked at the jade-colored figure who walked into the rain and gradually moved away, knowing that he was afraid of staying here any longer, if he was seen by the maids in the house, he was afraid that her reputation would be hindered, so he left first, which was really a gentleman's style.
King Yingchuan's thoughtful thoughts, even Gan Tang saw it, and sighed directly, "I can't imagine that this Royal Highness is so careful and considerate, hey, girl, you say, could he have guessed that we were trapped in this rain and deliberately came to help us, right?" ”
How can this be said casually, Cai Wei said with a straight face: "More and more nonsense, look back and don't let Mama Du give you two ring rulers." ”
Gan Tang also knew that his words were a bit wrong, so he hurriedly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "It's Gan Tang who said the wrong thing, don't worry, girl, I won't do it again." ”
After speaking, he glanced at the direction in which King Yingchuan disappeared, and sighed again, "These are all born to the same father, why are these two highnesses two different people?" One is the same as the immortals in the sky, and the other, cough cough ...... "She didn't have the courage to say anything disrespectful to a county king in private, especially the king of Linchuan, who was known as the tyrant of the capital."
"I think this is what people often say, 'The dragon gives birth to nine sons, each with its own good'." Seeing that there were already two maids with umbrellas coming over, Cai Wei didn't say more, the two maids each brought an umbrella, so she gave a sweet orange and asked her to go to the retreat to pick up the orange, and Cai Wei was accompanied by the two maids to Mrs. Huang's yard.
The three of them walked a few steps, turned a few green trees, and suddenly saw a very bright pink paper umbrella that was torn in half by someone and thrown into the flowers on the side. It's not anyone, it's just when you want to use an umbrella on a rainy day, but you destroy a new umbrella like this.
Cai Wei arrived at Mrs. Huang's courtyard, and waited for a long time before Gan Tang brought the orange back. Cai Wei accompanied Mrs. Huang to gossip for a long time, seeing that it was getting late, and the rain could not stop, although Mrs. Huang repeatedly kept her here for one night, she still politely declined, and she was determined to return to An Yuanbo's mansion.
Xiangcheng stood on the side, a little wanted to say something, and wanted to persuade her girl to stay one more night, but she didn't know how to speak, and finally followed Cai Wei to the carriage back to Bofu with a tangled face.
Cai Wei had already seen that Xiangcheng's face was a little wrong, as if she had something on her mind, but she didn't want to ask her anything in the carriage, and when she returned home, she went to see Mrs. Tai first, and served the old lady with food. When she returned to Qiutang Courtyard in the evening, Cai Wei unloaded a few beads in the middle of her hair in front of the mirror, and asked her: "When you went to the retreat to look for a veil, but what happened, I saw that since you came back, your face has been a little wrong?" ”
Not to mention that her own girl asked about herself, even if the girl didn't ask, the person she met today, she also wanted to tell the girl.
"I was about to tell the girl to know, I found a veil to come out, might as well see a person, the girl knows who that person is, but I'm afraid the girl will never guess it again?"
Cai Wei thought of the man in green shirt standing behind the hibiscus flowers, and suddenly her heart moved, and asked her, "Did you see a man in green shirt?" ”
Xiangcheng shook her head a little dazedly, "I'm seeing a lady, not a man, girl!" ”
"Could it be that the aunt of the Zeng family can't do it?" Cai Wei's hand was unstable, and a silver hairpin in her hand fell to the ground with a "ding".
"Girl, how do you know, could it be that you also met Mrs. Zeng?" Orange exclaimed quietly.
Cai Wei muttered to herself: "It seems that the one standing behind the bush of hibiscus flowers is the elder brother of the Zeng family......"
But why did their mother and son come to this capital? Uncle Great-Great, but he came with them?
At this time, Cai Wei had countless questions in her heart, but she didn't know who to ask, so she had to ask Xiangcheng again: "Can you say hello to Aunt Zeng?" ”
Xiangcheng shook her head, "I was far away from her, and I looked like Mrs. Zeng from a distance, so I wanted to walk over and take a closer look, but before I could catch up, I saw them turn over a pink wall, and when I chased after them, I couldn't see them anymore." We lived in Chang'an Zeng's house for several months, and Mrs. Zeng's family treated us very well, I will never be wrong about her appearance, and there was a maid next to her, which also looked like Sister Yinhuan. ”
"Then it rained heavily, and when Gan Tang picked me up, I then quietly asked a little girl in this house, and asked them if there was such a wife of the great master in the house, and the girl really nodded and said yes, and I asked why I didn't see this lady at the banquet today."
The girl told me that this Mrs. Zeng did not come to the banquet, it seemed that something had happened in the family, and there was no master in charge, so she took her son to the capital to join her family. Her maiden name is Li, and she is a distant cousin of Master Li in this house, because her own brothers are no longer there, she really has no choice but to come to her cousin. I can't ask anymore. ”
"What, Uncle Zeng is dead?"
The day before my father died, I received a reply from Uncle Zeng, and it was only less than three years of hard work, how could Uncle Zeng also pass away? Could it be that he died in office?
Seeing that today's elder brother of the Zeng family is dressed in green clothes and is not wearing filial piety clothes, could it be that he has already removed his filial piety, so calculated, not long after his father went, Uncle Zeng also followed? Is it death or something else? And I didn't know anything!
In fact, it's no wonder that she, she is a woman, and she can't see the Di newspaper, how can she know the news of Zeng Cheng, who was the political envoy of Shaanxi Cheng at the time, participated in politics.
And this Zeng Cheng was a friend of her father's of the same year. Her father, Zhou Zhen, saw that since he resigned, the fifth wife of An Yuanbo's Mansion was really as he expected, and he didn't mention that he wanted to marry his daughter as a daughter-in-law, and he didn't care. first took Cai Wei back to Quanzhou, Fujian, the ancestral home of the Zhou family, and went to visit Zhao Mingshuo, the uncle of Anyuan at that time, and entrusted him with the affairs of his daughter behind him.
Then he took Cai Wei around to visit his old friends, and after a round of visits, only one of his friends who was an official in Chang'an, Zeng Cheng, happened to have a son of the same age as Cai Wei.
Zhou Zhen took his daughter and lived in Zeng's house for a few months, and compared the son of his friend, but he was quite satisfied, although his toughness was a little insufficient, and he was a little anxious for quick success, but the others were all fine, and it was a good match for his daughter, so he agreed on this family affair with his old friend.
Because the two children were still young at that time, they were not officially hired, Zhou's father gave the Zeng family a dowry list, and the great-father also gave Cai Wei a family heirloom token as a gift. And agreed that three years later, when Cai Wei and Lu were married, the Zeng family would come to the door to officially hire and marry Cai Wei.
Although it was a verbal agreement, Cai Wei never doubted that the Zeng family would break her trust. It's just that what she didn't expect was that Uncle Zeng had passed away, and the Zeng family seemed to have suffered some kind of change, otherwise, the Zeng family also had a lot of family business and land in Chang'an, why did it reach the point where they wanted to go to Beijing to invest in relatives and friends?
Zeng family, what happened?
