Chapter 103: The Queen
In Ci'an Palace, the queen read the letter sent by the Guogong Mansion and threw it in a charcoal basin and burned it. After half a sound, he sighed to Mama Wu: "It's just a little bit, what a pity!" In the future, the Han King will be more vigilant! ”
After a pause, he said, "The Queen Mother summoned me to speak again, and it seems that the mother and son are getting more and more impatient." When I became a **, I want to set up a memorial arch, and if I have the ability, I will go directly to the prince, why force me! The queen sighed faintly.
Mama Wu said worriedly: "The slave is afraid that the mother will keep shirking, Zheng Guifei will be coquettish with the emperor, maybe the emperor will be recorded in the name of the mother without the consent of the mother?"
The queen's chest rose and fell violently, that slut, who took away the emperor and wanted to take away her son's crown prince, she dreamed. She raised her red eyes halfway, "It's okay, I'll make their dreams come true." It's a pity that Hongu really failed this opportunity! If it succeeds, how can there be so many things! King Han deserves to die the most, he must die. She stuck out her tongue and licked her bright red lips, her eyes full of murder.
Mama Wu smiled: "This time it was almost a little bit, but next time it will be successful!" From the point of view of slaves and maids, since the king of Han has strengthened his defense, he will attack the other princes, and kill one by one. If something happens to King Min, King Han is probably not comfortable. ”
The queen laughed, "Then let's come one by one!" I don't believe that his sons died one by one, and that he still had the heart to make a prince. In an instant, she turned cold again, "Then do it!" Send a message to the Duke of the Kingdom, and you go in person. ”
"Yes." Mama Wu happily agreed, took the token out of the palace, and went straight to the Guogong Mansion.
Soon Mama Wu returned. brought back Zhang Guogong's words, "Guogong means that as long as the King of Han is killed, others don't have to worry." Moreover, if you catch them all, I am afraid that the emperor will suspect Niangniang. ”
"Hmph......," the queen disagreed, "if only my son is left, he will still be able to kill me." That's it, just listen to the prince! In the end, the queen changed her attitude, and during the time that Mama Wu was out of the palace, she calmed down. She sat down, "That's right. Did Zheng Guifei deliver the message to our people? ”
Mama Wu shook her head. "Concubine Zheng Guifei's precautions are too strict, and our people only go to the periphery, so they can't do it at all."
The queen sneered, "Waste." She couldn't do it. Won't you buy people to do it? So much time. She didn't develop a good friend? ”
"This ......," Mama Wu hesitated, "the slave will give her another message." ”
The queen waved her hand, "Let's go a few days!" Too often. will be exposed. ”

was scolded one after another, Li Quan increased the intensity of the search and arrest, and was so busy that he didn't even sleep well, and he had two black circles under his eyes every day. However, the few northern barbarians who escaped were like water dripping into the sea and disappeared without a trace.
In Ke's mansion, Ke Yuan looked at Temur, who was holding a broad bean and a glass of wine, and his heart was so irritable that he wanted to scratch the wall. He grimaced, "When exactly are you leaving?" Do you know how much danger you are in for me by staying here? ”
Temur leaned back lazily in his chair, "Don't do that! Isn't it tight out there now? If I go out, if I am caught, I will not be able to endure the criminal law and will recruit you. Who is to blame then? ”
Ke Yuan's face suddenly changed when he heard this, "What do you mean, threaten me?" A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Temur's eyes flickered for a moment, sat up straight, raised his hand in surrender, and said with a smile: "After all, we are all doing things for the Northern Barbarians, we are all on one side, so it's not an exaggeration to help out!" And although you are not of pure Northern Barbarian blood, but at least half of the bloodline, for the sake of having the same bloodline, let me stay for a few days, can't you? ”
"Hmph." Ke Yuan stood up, "I still have half of the Great Qi bloodline!" Just this time, next time you dare to come over, I will kill you first. With that, he shook his sleeves and went out.
A chill flashed in Temur's eyes, and he lay back in his chair, grabbed a broad bean, played with it, and then threw it high, raised his head and opened his mouth to catch it, chewing it crisply.

Meng Jinghan sat in the study, looking at the letter in his hand, with a hint of solemnity between his eyebrows. He looked out the window, and through the fluttering snowflakes, he faintly heard a voice coming. Because the New Year is approaching, the people in the house are getting busier and busier, and even his study can faintly hear the sound.
Bai Yu had mentioned whether to send those people away, but Meng Jinghan stopped him, because listening to these voices, he could imagine Min Min sitting there with a dignified face to distribute affairs. Or recall Min Min pouting and telling him that it's almost the New Year, and he's busy to death.
A smile appeared at the corner of Meng Jinghan's mouth, and Bai Yu, who was standing next to him, secretly pulled Huang Yu, looked at Meng Jinghan's side, and told Huang Yu with his eyes, look, the master smiled. Topaz rolled her eyes, stood up straight, and ignored him. Bai Yu glared at him hatefully, wood.
Meng Jinghan remembered something, flipped through the things on the table, and turned out a blank piece of paper, which was full of words. He folded the paper, tucked it in his sleeve, went out, and went back to Hanzhang Courtyard.
Zhuang Minhua flipped through the account book and looked up at the screen, where there were several shopkeepers standing respectfully across the screen. Zhuang Minhua said: "I'll look at the account book again, and I see that the New Year is approaching, and the shop is still the same as in previous years, and it will be closed after the twenty-eighth." By the way, for the New Year's blessing received this year, each person at the shopkeeper level will add 20 catties of mutton, and the following will be reduced by one for every five catties. You go back to have a good New Year, and then come back to work happily. After such an explanation, the shopkeepers happily thanked Zhuang Minhua.
Zhuang Minhua said "um" and let them go down. Before he could take a breath, he reported that the steward in the kitchen had arrived. Zhuang Minhua breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "Let her in." ”
After finishing her busy work, Zhuang Minhua went back to the house and changed into pink homely clothes, which made her whole person pink and soft. Orange came over to pinch her shoulder, Emerald Green brought a hand stove, Biqing brought tea, and even the always steady Qian Hong held a plate of freshly baked dim sum and fed it to Zhuang Minhua with a handkerchief.
Zhuang Minhua was uncomfortable by them, opened his mouth to eat a snack, and when he swallowed it, he took a sip of tea before asking with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "If you are courteous, you must ask for something." Go ahead! What do you want to do? As long as it's not too much, the princess of this county will satisfy you. ”
It's been a long time. Zhuang Minhua became more and more lenient with them. Anyway, with the Loyalty Fu Town, they will not be unable to see their position clearly because of her preferential treatment, so they will betray her.
The maids laughed embarrassedly, pushed each other, and finally said with a slightly red face: "Princess County, I heard that on the night of the thirtieth day, there will be fireworks at the gate of the city, and the slaves and maids want to ask the princess of the county to take us to see it." ”
Zhuang Minhua laughed at them, "It's not like I haven't seen it before." What's there to see? ”
Orange pouted, "Once a year." It's rare! ”
Zhuang Minhua glanced at them, and when he saw that they were all looking at her with blank eyes, he immediately smiled, "This is a little thing." It's worth it! Wait for the next big thing. Be more attentive. I guess it won't be used. For example, which teenager do you have a crush on, and when the time comes...... Are you begging me? Or beg me? Ask me? ”
As soon as these words came out, the four maids suddenly became popular. Qian Hong said, "Ah, the princess of the county just ordered to do something, and I will do it immediately." With that, he went out. Bi Qing coughed lightly and swept her eyes, "I thought that the dress I made for the princess of the county was still a few stitches away, so I will go and catch up." Leaving emerald green and orange, emerald green said expressionlessly: "I plan to comb my hair in the future and serve by the princess of the county for the rest of my life." Although Orange Huang's pretty face is still red, she is bold, "When I get married in the future, I will be the housekeeper mother of the princess of the county, and I will also serve the princess of the county." ”
Seeing that the four big girls were getting older, Zhuang Minhua proposed their family affairs for the first time, except for Emerald Green and Orange, the other two were shy and ran away. But let's watch first! It's still early! Emerald Green has this idea now, and it may not be necessary in two years, and Zhuang Minhua is not worried.
"Oh well! In the future, I promised Orange to be my housekeeper mother. As for the emerald self-combing, I'll talk about it later. If you like it, you can tell me directly, as long as you are consensual, I will be the master and promise you to the person you like. Qian Hong and Biqing, you tell them. ”
"Tell what?" A voice came from outside the door, and Meng Jinghan walked in with a snowflake. Zhuang Minhua hurriedly stood up, helped him take pictures of the snowflakes on his body, and served him to take off his coat. The room was very warm, and it wouldn't be cold in a light jacket.
What I just said was the lifelong event of the maids.,What's it to say to the male master! Zhuang Minhua only said: "Tell them to go with us in Chinese New Year's Eve to watch the fireworks!" ”
Meng Jinghan was stunned, his eyebrows showed doubts, and it took a long time to react. In previous years, the concubine was not in good health, so she didn't go out much, and he wasn't interested, so he didn't see it at all. Now that Min Min is interested, it doesn't hurt to take a look. "Have you booked a private room?"
Zhuang Minhua called the maid to serve tea and said, "I have already ordered the post in the house." ”
Meng Jinghan took out the folded paper from his sleeve and handed it to Zhuang Minhua, sat down on the chair, picked up the tea, and drank it slowly.
Zhuang Minhua took it in his hand in surprise, opened it and saw that it was a few people that Zhuang Yiduan wanted to check that day, she entrusted it to Taijing, and there was news so quickly. Zhuang Minhua took a closer look, almost all of them were the right people, and the aunt and sister-in-law chose people who were all relatively quiet in the backyard and suitable for Zhuang Yiduan. Zhuang Minhua looked at it from beginning to end, but there were a few girls in the house, I don't know if Sister Duan would mind, after all, she said that she wanted to find the same as Meng Jinghan.
Zhuang Minhua handed it to Cuilu, "I remember that there is an embroidered book on the table, you take it, put this in the book and send it to Sister Duan'er." That's all she can do.
Meng Jinghan pulled Zhuang Minhua over, and in her exclamation, he took her in his arms. The maids in the house had long since retired. Zhuang Minhua touched his left shoulder worriedly, "What are you doing with such a strong effort?" Beware of wound dehiscence. ”
Meng Jinghan said with a smile: "The golden muscle cream you gave me is still very useful, but after ten days of hard work, the wound is almost healed." Usually I don't pretend to be shown to others, but I won't pretend to be in front of you! "Is he glad that he met and married Minmin?
*
Zhuang Yi took the embroidery book, asked a few words, rewarded the person from the county king's mansion, and sent her back. Then he sent the maid in the house and said that he would be alone for a while, and then opened the embroidery book and took out a piece of paper from it. After reading it, I took it to heart and threw the white paper in a charcoal basin and burned it.
Zhuang Yi sat upright and went to the courtyard of the eldest lady.
When the eldest lady saw her coming, she beckoned her to sit down, and after finishing the things in hand, she saw Zhuang Yi holding tea there in a daze, looking quiet and lonely. The eldest lady felt distressed for no reason, how could Sister Duan seem to have a mind at a young age. The eldest lady hugged Zhuang Yiduan in her arms, "What's wrong with Sister Duan?" Did someone bully you? You tell your grandmother, and your grandmother helps you out. ”
Zhuang Yiduan put his little face on the warm chest of the eldest lady, and whispered: "Grandmother, can I marry again in a few years, I am very scared now."
The eldest lady couldn't cry or laugh, so was she worried about this kind of thing just now? These days, she is busy choosing candidates with Sister Duan and her mother, and this little girl may have heard the rumors. "Of course, have you heard anything? How could I be willing to let my sensible sister Duan get married so early! And even if there is a family, it is only a marriage first, and we will definitely have to keep our sister Duan for a few more years. ”
Zhuang Yiduan's body, which had been tense, relaxed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. So can she choose well in the past few years, but she can't marry the wrong person for the first time like Aunt Eighteen, otherwise she can only survive with her character, and she will never be separated, and her mother will not allow it. Sometimes I really envy Aunt Eighteen for being so wanton!
The eldest lady saw it in her eyes and sighed secretly in her heart, the eldest daughter-in-law taught the eldest granddaughter very well. It's just that she is too chaste, and she is a little worried that Sister Duan will be bullied when she goes to her in-law's house. It seems that you have to pick a few more people to see, and you have to choose a clean backyard with a good personality. The left and right sisters are still young! No hurry!
It's that the boys in the family are also worried, but it's almost time to settle down.
Leaving Zhuang Yi to serve lunch, sent her back to take a nap, and turned her head and invited the eldest grandmother to come. Grandma Xing heard that her daughter had come before, and she was worried about what had happened for a while, wondering if Sister Duan had done something wrong.
When I arrived at the eldest lady, I was still a little nervous. The eldest lady didn't say anything, but said that she felt that Sister Duan'er's personality was too chaste, and she was afraid that she would suffer a loss after she got married, so she planned to let Sister Duan move to her yard for a while and train her.
Grandma Xing heard that for this matter, she agreed without an opinion at all. First, Sister Duan has grown up, and there is no problem of not being close to her mother because she lives with her grandmother; Second, the mother-in-law was also a model among the ladies back then, that is, as a daughter-in-law, she also did a generous atmosphere. Sister Duan can learn a lot by following; Thirdly, it is also good for Sister Duan's reputation, and she has been raised in front of the eldest lady, but she has a good reputation.
So the matter was decided, and the next day, Sister Duan moved into the courtyard of the eldest lady. (To be continued......)
