024 Grapevine
戌時.
The whole part of Anping Mansion fell silent.
At the end of the afternoon, the people of the Gu family left Ensheng and Wenqi, and the others went back.
Eun Seung and Wen Qi were housed in the upper room of the guest house.
Rong'er and Yuqin sorted out the gifts from Uncle Bai Ri's family.
"Shark fin, sea cucumber, and bird's nest each have a catty. and a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry. And a set of clothes that reflect the red? ”
Yuqin opened the clothes, Rong'er looked up, put down the account book, and took the clothes, which were soft and not lacking in falling, smooth and delicate than the embroidered brocade given to Congqing.
"This should be the heaven on earth embroidery in Nanping Prefecture, right?" Yuqin's eyes lit up, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and gently rubbed it.
"It should be." Rong'er took a closer look at the workmanship, and the front and back of her body were ruyi water grass patterns, and the embroidery was superb. Only the embroidery of paradise on earth in Nanping Prefecture can reach this level, compared with the palace embroidery, although the palace embroidery is exquisite, too many norms and constraints, it is inevitable that it is the same, and the paradise embroidery on earth is full of whimsical and charming.
Yuqin compared her clothes to Rong'er, and her long eyes were doubled compared to usual, "It's really a fairy to wear her." The third lady will wear this new dress tomorrow. ”
"The fabric is first-class, the embroidery is worth more than the fabric, and the silver thread is used. The garment shall be worth at least fifteen hundred taels of silver. It's too expensive, and it's not good to do things in dress. Starting tomorrow, Vinci and I have to start preparing for the reconciliation. Put your clothes in the closet. "The uncle's family in the previous life also gave such a dress, and Rong'er wore it at that time. At this point, it's a feeling of being in front of a collectible. The future is unpredictable. What can not be moved now, try not to move, getting rid of Xia Zhikang is the first priority.
Yuqin put away her clothes.
"The second son is here." Yuxiang poked her head in from outside and whispered.
After getting out of school, he was pulled by Ensheng to play together. Rong'er was thinking about why he couldn't come. Close the account book, hand it to Yuqin, and wait for the second brother to come in.
A monkey jumped in from the outside.
Rong'er pursed her lips and glared at him, "Next month you will be fifteen, and I will be thirteen." Still not used to being steady? As he spoke, he got on the kang on one side.
Ying Ze sat down on the other side and made a grimace to tease her, "I was locked up in the academy for a day, and you didn't comfort me?" ”
Rong'er glanced at him, and her pink little mouth grinned, "Are you really getting younger and younger?" ”
"Call me good brother first. I have to let the depression in my heart be relieved. "I should be with my sister at the time, there has never been a size, just fun.
"Second brother, good brother...... Rong'er pulled his arm and shook it a few times, and called softly.
"Alright. All right. Ying Ze laughed and watched Yuqin come out of the warehouse, "Uncle's family is eccentric." I've got a lot of stuff for you today. My eldest brother and I don't have a single one. If my sister-in-law hadn't been pregnant, I don't think she would have had a gift. ”
Yuqin eats and laughs, the second son is jealous with his sisters?
Rong'er instructed, "Yuqin went out to watch, I have something to say to my second brother." ”
Yuqin smiled and went out and closed the door.
Ying Ze looked at the door, then put his head to his sister's ear, and whispered, "Don't say it yet." Don't look at the Wenqu Academy is not government-run, there are all disciples in it, but there is all the news. ”
"What did you hear?" Rong'er's small back has always been, and her eyes are full of expectation.
"The night before yesterday, many people knew that the thunder had struck, and only a few people knew that it was near our house in the south of the city. By the way, we waited in the outer hall that night, and I felt that thunder was above my house! Ying Ze frowned, "At that time, our minds were on you, and we didn't notice it." If you hadn't asked me to inquire about the prince's secret visit, I wouldn't have thought about it. ”
"Getting to the point. Say what you heard. Rong'er urged.
"I haven't heard about the reason why the prince came out for a secret visit. I heard that there was an incident in the palace that seemed to be related to the thunderbolt in the clear sky. Ying Ze looked at his sister and said slowly.
"Say it quickly!" Rong'er glared at him.
Ying Ze met her gaze and was stunned for a moment, "So fierce?" ”
Rong'er stared at him without blinking.
Ying Ze smiled flatteringly, "You can eat me." I said yes. ”
Ying Ze looked around, lowered his voice and whispered to her, "I know that the queen has no children." The two concubines each have a son, and they were born at the same time in the same year, the same month, and the same day, for many years, the two princes are difficult to separate, and the emperor treats them together, and he does not call him the eldest or the second, only to wait for the time to decide by the level of talent. Concubine Hui's son Xia Zhongshan is smart and in poor health since he was a child, although the emperor likes it, he suffers from Xia Zhongshan's physical difficulty. In desperation, two years ago, Xia Zhongzheng, the son of Concubine De, was appointed as the crown prince. Xia Zhong is the crown prince, Xia Zhongshan naturally ranked second, became the second prince, the mood is poor, the body is getting worse, in the summer a summer almost a life, finally rescued from life, all day long when the faint and wake up, when the confusion is upside down, it looks like it is a matter of living every day and every month. ”
After a pause, Rong'er listened attentively, frowning slightly and thoughtfully as he said.
"When the sky was clear and thunderous the night before, Xia Zhongshan woke up from his dream, sat up and suddenly said, 'I don't deserve to die.'" Ying Ze's eyes were wide open at this point, and his face was full of wonder and suspicion.
Rong'er nodded thoughtfully. In his previous life, Xia Zhongshan was sent out of the palace in the spring of next year and went to the palace in Nanpingzhou, where he died of illness in the sea of flowers in Jingshan in the palace. Listening to what the second brother said, this summer's illness should make it impossible for him to delay next spring.
Ying Ze continued, "Although Xia Zhongzheng is both civil and military, it is secretly rumored that he is lustful and shameless, and his heart is suspicious. Xia Zhongshan's words reached Xia Zhongzheng's ears that night. ”
"What does this have to do with Xia Zhongzheng's unannounced visit to the palace?" Rong'er wondered.
Ying should assert, "I guess Xia Zhongzheng hurriedly left the palace the next day, which must have something to do with what Xia Zhongshan said." ”
"Isn't the second imperial concubine's family also in the south of the city? Why did the prince come to our house? ”
Rong'er thought that Xia Zhongtian's wife Feng Ruoxin was the niece of Concubine Hui, and her father Feng Taili was the left attendant of the military department. The crown princess's father, Zhang Xiangyan, is the right waiter. The Feng family's mansion is in the south corner of the city. Ying's home is in the east corner of the south of the city.
"The emperor is not sensitive to the matter of thunderstorms in the clear sky, saying that there are many thunderstorms this year, the weather is hot, and it is very common for thunderstorms to be thunderstormed in the clear sky at night."
"Then it should be fine."
"Xia Zhongtian's 'I shouldn't die' bad thing. The two brothers were born at the same time in the same year and month, and their lives are equally precious. And in the emperor's heart, he has always favored Xia Zhongshan. Do you want to..."
Although he was naughty, he didn't dare to say anything casually even in private, and the rest of the words winked at his sister.
"Is there any news from anything else?" Rong'er inquired.
"You asked me to inquire about Xia Zhikang's rumors, although I didn't know the specifics, but he was mixed with Xia Zhongzheng all day long. I don't know what will happen to Xia Zhongzheng in the future. You asked me to inquire about the person Gou County Order of Taidong County, there is a classmate from Taidong, and there are many people who know him locally, not to mention that the county order is not surnamed Gou, and there is no one named Gou Canglan among the literati students. Maybe I didn't inquire enough about it. "It should be a boy, after thinking about these questions, I am a little worried, afraid that Xia Zhikang will be lustful and snub his sister in the future.
"I told you. Xia Zhikang stared at my face yesterday, so confused. If I looked normal, would he still look at me so fondly? Rong'er flattened her mouth, "That's why you pay more attention to Xia Zhikang's reputation outside." ”
"What can you do if he has a bad reputation?" I should be a little worried.
"Find a way to get out of your family!" Rong'er spit out a few words between her teeth, revealing a chill.
should be a trembling, my sister doesn't like Xia Zhikang's appearance very much. Looking at it now, Xia Zhikang is very pleasing to his sister, and he is a royal prince, if he retires from Xia Zhikang, he wants to find another better family, where can he find such a good family?
