Chapter 130: The Mystery of the Door
The news that Jiang Yizhen wants to say has been revealed by the Nine Emperor Princes before. However, Xia Xiaodong still made a surprised expression that he didn't know yet: "Sixth Highness! Where does this start? ”
"Yes," Jiang Yizhen patted Xia Xiaodong's hand lightly and said with a smile: "I was also surprised when I first heard it." But when I saw my sister today, I felt that His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness had a good vision. ”
Xia Xiaodong lowered his eyes and made a slightly shy appearance.
"Where the hell did this rumor come from?" Lu Yunzhi and Jiang Yizhen have always been good friends, so they asked directly: "Did His Highness the Ninth hear about it in person from His Highness the Sixth?" ”
It is rumored that this thing is still very important to pass it on a few times.
Jiang Yizhen picked up the cup of justice, added a cup of tea for Lu Yunzhi and Xia Xiaodong, and said leisurely: "The news came out from Chen Zheshan and Old Master Chen. ”
Old Master Chen? Xia Xiaodong looked slightly sideways and went to see Lu Yunzhi.
"Old Master Chen is one of the staff of the Sixth Highness." Lu Yunzhi is very clear about this: "If it is a rumor from him, it can be regarded as a more formal temptation." ”
Xia Xiaodong was silent.
The so-called temptation is not necessarily a temptation of her.
I saw that Ning Junwu and the Six Princes seemed to have a good relationship before, so if the Six Princes were testing Ning Junwu, would it be because a woman turned his face against him, or did he give up along with the boat? Or is Ning Jun Wutong guò the sixth prince tempting to see if she is waiting for the price to sell, and when she sees the prince stretching out an olive branch, she rushes over?
Of course, it is also possible that the relationship between Ning Junwu and the Six Princes is not as good as it seems.
The Nine Emperors ran out and inserted a lever, but they were not necessarily kind.
"Is the draft really set for the New Year?" Lu Yunzhi didn't bother too much about the matter of the six princes, and instead asked about the show girl.
"That's right," Jiang Yizhen said with a smile: "I heard that the newly promoted Imperial Concubine Chen suggested to the emperor, saying that the emperor is already old, and he should take care of the dragon body more. ”
"So there is news in the palace that this draft is mainly for the princes and the children of the clan to select the main concubines, side concubines and concubines. You see, I invited everyone to sit down this time, didn't many people bring their show girls from the family? ”
It turns out that everyone is well-informed.
"This is the emperor helping Emperor Chen to save face." Lu Yunzhi saw the trickiness at a glance: "Emperor Chen's temperament is so low-key, how could she start talking as soon as she became the imperial concubine?" It was clearly the emperor's intention, and he said it in the name of Emperor Chen's concubine. ”
Jiang Yizhen smiled: "There are many people who go to burn the hot stove of Emperor Chen Guifei now. Everyone said that your Lu family was one step ahead again. ”
Lu Yunzhi glanced at Xia Xiaodong and did not continue the topic of Emperor Chen's concubine.
……
……
The three of them talked and laughed, and after seeing that Shen Shi had passed, Lu Yunzhi proposed to leave. Jiang Yizhen sent a paragraph, and asked Lu Yunzhi to persuade him to go back, leaving Jiang Yizhen's eldest maid Hongyu to lead the way.
When they walked through the female wall of the inner courtyard, everyone was surprised to find that the small hanging flower door was actually blocked—a large pot of leafy fortune trees was placed in the middle, and it was obvious that they would not be allowed to go.
"Huh?" Hongyuqi said: "Could it be that the mystery of this door has been solved?" ”
Xia Xiaodong suddenly felt that it was not very good.
Something seems to have been triggered by yourself.
"What's the mystery?" Lu Yunzhi said: "Everyone said in private that the rules in your house are so big that even the door of the inner courtyard must be distinguished, which is almost better than in the palace." What's the matter, there is another mystery? ”
When entering the palace, the inner woman went to the Dongque Gate, and the outer woman went to the Beihua Gate, the hierarchy was strict, and she couldn't and wouldn't go wrong - if she was wrong, she wouldn't let in.
"Actually, it's nothing," Hongyu is the son of the Jiang family, and she is very familiar with the story of the house: "It was originally ...... over there."
Hongyu said and pointed in the direction of the outer courtyard, "The door to the outer courtyard has three gates, from high to low. ”
Three ways? I haven't seen this Xia Xiaodong.
"It means the three-leap dragon gate," Ruby continued, "and only the smallest door is opened on weekdays. Only in the year of the scholars, the lord will hold a peony meeting, and then the three doors will be fully opened, and the scholars will enter the garden according to the top three lists of the emperor list and take the peony hairpin. ”
The red jade eyes showed yearning, obviously thinking of the garden full of scholars shuttling, and the bowl-sized peony hairpin on the head, how magnificent it was.
"Then why did you open more doors here?" Why did you just say that she went over there, Xia Xiaodong hurriedly pulled Hongyu's train of thought back.
"Oh, it seems to mean that once a real person from Jiuyue came to visit," Hongyu looked around, and then lowered her voice and said: "I showed this house two glances at feng shui, saying that since the garden leads to the wall of the outer courtyard, there are three doors, so there can be only one door to the inner courtyard, otherwise it is how, and the slave and maid can't say clearly." ”
Hongyu said and stretched out his hand and gestured in the air: "Anyway, it's probably because the wind is strong on the other end, and there are more doors on this end, so that the feng shui can be said to be reasonable." ”
But what kind of mystery is this? Xia Xiaodong felt that Hongyu didn't explain it at all.
Lu Yunzhi also felt that something was missing, and walked a few steps before remembering: "Then why is it sealed again?" What's the mystery? Are you a reward? ”
As he spoke, he really picked up a few golden melon seeds from his sleeve and stuffed them into Hongyu's hand.
Hongyu's face flushed, hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the golden melon seeds, thanked the reward, and said: "Miss Lu, it's really not that the slave has the heart to ask for a reward." It's this, in fact, don't let you talk nonsense. ”
said that it can't be said nonsense, but the golden melon seeds have been collected, and they will definitely still say it. This Lu Yunzhi and Xia Xiaodong both knew it, so they just waited for the following.
Sure enough, Hongyu got closer and said in a low voice: "Originally, after Jiuyue Zhenren said this, the master was going to open two other small doors on the side of the original door for the maids and daughters-in-law to move around. But later, the eldest apprentice of Jiuyue Zhenren secretly gave the master an idea, saying that he might as well take advantage of this to set up a small mystery and make a pattern of what kind of Kun and Cheng are close to each other. ”
"This thing slave doesn't understand. It's just that later, I heard the daughters-in-law who guarded the door say that if someone wants to go through the gate instead of the small door, or if they want to go through the small door instead of leaving the gate, they must be told to the master. Therefore, there must be a mystery in it. ”
"But having said that, this door has been built for more than two years, and only once was there a girl from a small official's family who refused to go through the small door, so she knocked down the daughter-in-law at the door and broke in through the gate. The rest of the time, it's fine. ”
It doesn't seem to be so good today. Xia Xiaodong secretly thought that it would be better to stay away from the Jiang family in the future.
"Why don't you go and inquire? See why the small door is sealed? Ruby stopped, ready to go, satisfying her and the girls' curiosity.
