Chapter 288 Gossip in the capital
Zhou Xu'an was writing in the study, picking up a pen and drawing on paper, but at this time, a voice sounded outside the door, and then he saw Ah Cai walking in.
"Big young master, this hour is almost over, why aren't you ready to let the servants go out with you?" Ah Cai hurriedly said, his eldest young master got up early this morning and had breakfast, and then came to the study, and he didn't know what he was doing. He was so slow that he was not ready to leave for a long time, and he had to be urged by him, a minion.
"Out of the house?" Zhou Xu'an said lightly: "What are you doing when you go out?" ”
“…… Have you forgotten? Ah Cai couldn't believe it, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he said, "Didn't you make an appointment to go to Yipinju with the king of Anyang County to talk about things?" "This is not his boasting, after following the eldest young master for so many years, no matter how tired and busy he is, he has never forgotten anything, why did he forget such an important thing this time?
"Forget." Zhou Xu'an was stunned for a moment, and then put on a natural look, but his face was still silent for thousands of years, as if this matter was not so important and he forgot it.
This made Ah Cai puzzled, and secretly wondered if his young master had something on his mind recently, just like after returning from attending the wedding of the county king and the county lord a few days ago, he didn't feel very happy. And it seems that I haven't met much with the future young lady and Miss Chunyu during this period of time, is there any conflict between the two? Can't you...... It's just that he can only think about it in his heart, and he never dares to confide in the eldest young master.
"I suddenly remembered today that there was something else to do, so you can go and hand me the letter later. Let's make an appointment with the king of the county for another day, anyway, our matter this time is not very important. Kindness...... If there's nothing else to do, then you go first. Zhou Xu'an commanded.
“…… Be. Ah Cai agreed a little helplessly. He touched his nose in wonder, and then went out.
Zhou Xu'an watched Ah Cai retreat out of the study, then sighed, and said a little strangely: "I actually forgot"
He also didn't expect that he would forget about things, maybe he thought too much last night, and his thoughts were a little confused, which was simply something that had never happened before. But soon he was able to even out his breathing. Put aside the worries and distractions in your heart, and continue to put pen to paper and sketch them out. Then after a while, the white picture of the beauty enjoying the flowers jumped up. Look at the past tense. I saw the person on the painting with smiling eyebrows, cherry mouth and nose, a begonia hairpin on a simple falling cloud bun, and a silk cloud belt around the waist of a light Luo skirt. Hold a begonia in your hand. Quiet and beautiful. Elegant and full of seductive charm......
Zhou Xu'an looked at it, he was stupid, there are really people in the world who can make him haunted by his dreams and can't pull out his love. Although they are obviously married, there is still a feeling of uncertainty, and he is afraid that she will leave, is he thinking too much?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt anxious to see her. So he carefully dried the painting and put it away.
…………
Time flies. It's been more than two months in a flash, and it's already July in a blink of an eye.
And the biggest thing that happened in the capital at this time was that King Zhao died of illness and the King of Anyang County inherited the throne of King Zhao. At this time, Zheng Sanbao, who was sent overseas, also died of illness, and his apprentice and son continued his voyage. Today's official family has also had a serious illness because of this. Later, because of the dragon's luck, he was able to get better, which also made the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs and the elders of the cabinet breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, the prince is still young now, and he is only three or four years old, how can a child take on a big responsibility, but fortunately, the dragon is in good health, which avoids some turmoil in the court. It's just that this is not a matter of concern to the common people who live in a stable world, and for them, the official family is on a high position above them. Neither can be seen by secular people and other people to be offended by the true dragon of the mortal. And since ancient times, it has been a dragon giving birth to a dragon, a dragon has passed on a dragon, no matter what happens, he has supported it, even if the official family has returned to heaven, there will naturally be a prince to take over, so as long as the people can have a bowl of stable rice to eat, there is no other way to ask for it.
However, the so-called dog blood gossip has been the most talked about by the common people who have no entertainment projects since ancient times, and the gossip that the people of Kyoto are most talked about recently is nothing more than that it is the current official family after recovering from illness, and there is another amnesty in the world, and it is also in a good mood to come, and the royal mouth is the two marriages. The marriage of the holy royal mouth is actually nothing new to the people of the capital, but this time the two couples who were given marriage were because of their different identities, which caused everyone to gossip and arouse everyone's curiosity and publicity.
And this is the third sister of the official family, Princess Yanping, Princess Yanping is free and weak, and her sister Princess Deqing, who died a while ago. However, today's official family still likes this sister very much, so they want to marry her to Chu Junyi. The reason is that Chu Jun was originally a person who was about to become a concubine, but because of the early death of the princess, he could not become a concubine. Therefore, the current official family is ready to marry this Yanping princess to Chu Junyi, but Chu Junyi is also bold, and directly asked the saint for instructions, saying that he has already intended to marry Zhou Mengya, the third lady of the Zhou family, and also asked the official family to give him a marriage.
Fortunately, the official family didn't have time to give marriage at that time, otherwise it would be really a big deal, and it would have lost royal face. Because this Chu family is a family of military generals, it is also an indispensable minister's mansion in the court, and the Liu family, the in-law of the Chu family, is the famous Dragon and Tiger General's Mansion, so the official family did a boat down the river and completed this marriage. It's just that Princess Yanping's marriage can't help but continue, so the official family thought of Zhou Xu'an again.
The reason is that Concubine Zhang Guifei in the palace said something in his ear, saying that Zhou Xu'an is now old and has not married, and the official family has valued him very much in the past two years, so it is better to marry the princess to him, which can be regarded as being tied to the Chu family in disguise, and Zhou Xu'an's uncle is still Zhaowu General Liu Zheng. So when the official family thought about it, it was indeed the truth, that is, with a wave of the royal pen, he gave marriage. This is really a big piece that has not been played before, but he didn't expect that Zhang Guifei would hide something from him, it turned out that Zhou Xu'an had already made a marriage.
And there is such embarrassment, but it can't be said that Zhou Xu'an refuses to marry. And this is more about etiquette, Zhou Xu'an did not abandon the marriage contract with Chunyu for the sake of royal favor, and turned around to win the princess, which is already very admirable and appreciated. The official family also appreciated it a lot, so they didn't blame Zhou Xu'an, but Chrysostom was stunned and gave Zhou Xu'an and Chunyu, who were already engaged, a marriage again.
