106 A thousand miles of marriage
After sleeping in a quilt at night, Gu Ci told Yuan Yi all the conversations between him and Gu Yi during the day, and put it aside, of course, she didn't know that Yiqing had privately suggested that she kill Gu Yi directly, and she was going to meet the five candidate brides who were going to go on a blind date with the people of Hubei on the Shangyuan Festival tomorrow. It is not suitable for girls and boys to show their martial arts such as riding skills, and they don't understand the people of Hubei Province in poetry, and the princess humbly asks for advice on how to create opportunities for them to look at each other.
Yuan Yi began to feel funny, "Could it be that there are still people who dare to regret it?" ”
"Being willing and having to go are two different attitudes, and the results are definitely different. I want them to live happily ever after, so that the influence is convincing enough to be easily recognized. The power of example is endless! ”
These words made the prince start to get serious. On the second day, he summoned Ming Ting and Ming Fang to discuss what other suitable candidates to marry besides the five clan daughters could intermarry with the Ebe people.
After Mingxiu was sent to keep an eye on the implementation of the Six Examinations, Ming Fang took over the intelligence of the East Palace with Qi Nian, including the capital and other places, and the Ming Court was mainly responsible for military affairs, and cooperated with Yiqing to deal with the news in the palace. Although Mama Xie is an old man left by the Xie family, she is not Gu Ci's person, from the fact that she implicitly persuaded Yuan Yi to accept a side concubine with status and give birth to her eldest son, even if Gu Ci's surname is now Xie, she is still loyal to Xiao Tong. Yuan Yi didn't tell his wife about this, but he just put an end to the opportunity for Mama Xie to appear in the East Palace, he didn't need any people in this palace who might be bad for Gu Ci, including himself, all just to make her live comfortably. So he can tolerate Yiqing, but he never intends to indulge Mama Xie. If Gu Ci officially takes over the palace affairs, all the affairs in the palace will be handed over to Yiqing, and Ming Ting and Ming Fang will control all the sources of information in the East Palace.
After hearing this, Ming Fang smiled at Gu Ci and said, "What His Highness said is very true, and it is better for the couple to be affectionate than to respect each other like ice." There is a candidate under him, and he thinks it is quite suitable. Please also ask the princess to refer to it. ”
"Who?" Gu Ci was a little curious. Yuan Yi rarely said to others that something was her idea, and since Ming Fang specifically mentioned her, she must be someone she knew.
"The three girls of the Ren family."
"Didn't she talk to Brother Shen Yang?!"
When a certain vinegar jar heard this, he pinched her palm and scratched it a few times.
"Ren Guogong and Wu Shangshu are interested in each other, but the children don't seem to be too reluctant to do so......"
Wu Shenyang knew why he didn't want to be there, but, "Do you know why Sister Shu doesn't agree?" ”
"The subordinates didn't pay attention."
Gu Ci secretly decided to talk to the girls one by one tomorrow, and see the opportunity at the Lantern Festival banquet, she didn't think that this kind of thing should be handled according to political tasks, just looking at ordinary people, just marrying strangers.
***********************
The next day was the day before the Shangyuan Festival, and the crown princess held a New Year's banquet in the palace on behalf of the queen mother. However, seeing that there were Mrs. Wu Shangshu and the princess of Runan County in the list, she suddenly felt that it was impossible for the crown princess to cheat her in-laws like this. There is also the princess of Hengshan County, thinking that the wife of Yuan Ling, the eldest son of the prince of Hengshan County, has passed the funeral, and she has to find a continuation, thinking that she is just holding a blind date banquet together.
Wu Shenqiu was invited by Gu Ci to help, and after Mrs. Wu received the post, she wanted to show her youngest son other girls at this banquet. Ren Shushen is good, but the girl herself and her son have no intention of each other, and there is no need to force Ren He and Wu Shangshu to talk again.
Among the unmarried girls, the ones who are most familiar with Gu Ci are Ren Shushen and Xie Jin. Xie Qian and Xie Meng have settled in Langya City, leaving only Xie Jin, a professional woman who likes to run around, her parents can't reach her, and of course the eldest sister has to worry about it. This time, Gu Ci held a banquet, Xie Ran threatened her with her stomach that she must participate in a non-stop meeting, although she didn't expect these high-ranking officials and clan relatives to take a fancy to Xie Jin, it would be good if the people in Hubei took a fancy to her! Even if the older young women contribute to the country!
Gu Ci arranged the guests, first solved the political tasks assigned by Yuan Yi, and invited Princess Xichuan, who had never met a few times, to the side hall for tea. She could see that Princess Xichuan was a little restless, so she said straight to the point, "Fourth sister-in-law, don't worry, the last charity club gained a lot, and His Royal Highness plans to propose the establishment of a national library in the future, similar to the Chongwen Museum." There are three main things, one is to send people to various families to copy rare books and classics, and keep them in the museum. The second is to revise the canon of literature and history according to this, proofread and compile, and select the best ones to be engraved and printed. The third is to compile a full-character dictionary and develop phonetics, so that ordinary people can learn words and consult them. ”
Princess Xi Chuan is also the daughter of a poet and calligrapher, her eyes lit up when she heard this, and she happily wanted to accept it for her husband, "Thank you for telling the princess, I will let our prince come to help His Royal Highness when I go back!" ”
"Fourth sister-in-law, don't worry, this matter has not yet been resolved, I will say it in advance for Your Highness, I just want to ask you two about your wishes."
"And for the sake of the concubine?" Princess Xi Chuan was a little surprised.
"It's not a secret, my maids have been literate since childhood, and there have been a lot of girls' schools, volunteer schools, and Mongolian studies in recent years. Mistakes and omissions in compilation, transcription, typesetting, etc., are inevitable, and it would be a bit wasteful for men to do such repeated checks, so I want women who can read and write to do some trivial things, as well as the first two proofreading and proofreading matters, and the learned people of the Hanlin Academy can only review the final draft and the final version. Naturally, you need to do the same. ”
Princess Xi Chuan was so excited that she stood up and wanted to salute her, "I, I do!" Before, she was still worried about whether the East Palace was going to stuff a side concubine to come in and beat her husband, which would make Fang feel that she was a villain, "If you need to do something, please do not hesitate to command!" Yan must live up to the trust! "Princess Xi Chuan's name is Cai Yan.
"The fourth sister-in-law sat down and spoke, if you want to choose, then you have to take the exam first, so please pull more helpers for the matter of women's subjects, even if the compilation of the dictionary cannot be started immediately, my own subordinates, as well as Sian Chay Hall and the women's school, also need such an exam to give the girls a diploma grade."
This can be regarded as an official certification for educated women, how could Princess Xi Chuan not understand how significant this matter is, and she almost cried when she covered her mouth.
Seeing off Princess Xi Chuan, who was grateful, Gu Ci pulled the Ren sisters and continued to whisper here, "What kind of husband does Sister Shu want to find?" ”
“…… At least beat me......"
"You just want to marry a general?" This is not difficult, write a letter to Ye Ye or talk to Gu Chong, there are a lot of candidates to choose from.
“…… It's not ......."
Swaggered and followed Ren Wenhui, who came to eavesdrop, coughed and interrupted the exchange of ears between the two, "Do you think you are so bold that you can't end it?" ”
"What's going on?" Gu Ci was a little confused.
"She had a fight with a man in Ebe, and she made an appointment to compare tomorrow."
“…… There will be no martial arts competition at the Lantern Festival banquet tomorrow......"
"Don't let us make an appointment after dusk?" Ren Shushen's face was a little redder, but it was just as sharp. No wonder Uncle Ming Fang proposed her!
"Which one?"
"Of course not the old ones."
"Agdi?"
“…… I guess that's the name. Ren Shushen's eyes began to wander.
Ren Wenhui glared at her and said, "The third sister doesn't want her grandfather to handle the marriage, and the second uncle and second aunt haven't come back, so I have to rely on you!" ”
"Why don't you want to let Uncle Zu decide?"
"Grandfather is a man after all, for example, he looks at Wu Shenyang well, but the third sister doesn't like to be honest and pedant like that."
Gu Ci asked Ren Shushen very seriously, "Sister Shu really wants to marry her?" ”
"People don't necessarily like me. I just think that going there is far away and free, and it will be more fun than marrying in the capital. ”
"I know that Sister Shu is a character who can find comfort anywhere, you think it's good to go over there and gallop the grassland to see cattle and sheep, but I don't need a girl who simply wants to be friendly and sacrificed." Gu Ci looked at the two friends seriously and said, "You see that the people from Hubei have been in Beijing for a few months, and now they wear hats and don't speak dialects, can you still recognize them as foreigners?" "It shows that these foreigners actually recognize the Central Plains culture very much, and know that we have a lot of advanced things to learn, which is the basis for their possible 'sinicization'.
"You want to exert influence over their entire clan?" Ren Shushen's political sensitivity is very good.
"That's right! Let them recognize that our products, clothing, customs, culture, and systems are better than their current ones, and willingly become a part of the Yu Dynasty. ”
"If Xianbei enters the Han?"
"Yes, it is not necessary to divide and divide their entire tribe immediately, but to prevent them from getting the weight of our country, and they cannot grow in place. It is best if their descendants all speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, except for the differences in customs and habits. ”
Ren Wenhui was stunned and said, "You are going to choose a Tuoba Hong's mother to marry to Ebe!" ”
Ren Shushen didn't speak, but there was excitement in her eyes.
Gu Ci explained, "It's not a relationship, it's just a marriage farther away." And I will ask that according to their marriage customs, my son-in-law will live in Beijing for half a year to a year before going back. When the road is repaired, the married woman can come back to visit her relatives at any time. Xinbeiguan, which is closest to Hubei Province, can also build its own mansion, and live in the mansion or live in the tribal land at will. ”
"Besides, the eldest sister is over there!" Ren Shushen had already begun to think about it energetically.
Ren Wenhui poured cold water on her face, "People don't necessarily like you!" ”
Ren Shushen raised her eyebrows, "Marrying him or not will not prevent me from going to the north." It's a big deal to find a man who is willing to go over together! ”
Gu Ci was taken aback, "Sister Shu, don't get excited, there is always a chance to go." And I plan to open a 'women's department', and in the future, I will try to do as many things as possible for the industry under my name. At that time, there will be many positions in the north that need to be manned. ”
Ren Wenhui asked with great interest, "Just like Ajin?" ”
"Yes. The same goes for Sister Ran. ”
Gu Wenkai is a member of the East Palace, Xie Ran helps her manage the accounts of Wuwu Town, and the couple work together in the East Palace, and now Xie Ran is on maternity leave. Although Xie Jin went to other places to audit before, after getting married, she could adjust the office location according to her husband's whereabouts, so as not to affect the married life of these professional women.
Ren Shu said proudly, "No problem! If I can't take that Adi, you can find me a man in Xinbeiguan! You have to work hard! ”
Sending away the two sisters of the Ren family, Gu Ci invited the other five candidates, she was not familiar with these people, so she couldn't say too deeply, and she wasn't prepared to put too much pressure on them. First of all, let them understand that the difference between this and the relatives, although they will marry at the level of a princess or a county lord, but there are also princesses and county lords in Xinbeiguan, and they can come back to visit relatives every year after they have official roads, which is no different from marrying far away. The second is completely voluntary, just like their own son-in-law, even if the people of Hubei take a fancy to them, it doesn't matter if they don't want to, and later there will be a booklet with pictures and texts to introduce the customs and habits of Hubei and send them to understand. This was written by Gu Ci and asked the interpreters to work overtime, and these interpreters were all promoted to the position of the seven-pin pen post in Honglu Temple, and they suddenly gained official status and were highly motivated. Finally, if there is no match, she can marry on her own, and she will help to ask for a holy decree or a decree to marry.
So, girls, on Valentine's Day in ancient times, please behave well!
***********************
The New Year's banquet in the East Palace ended smoothly, and I don't know how other families would take care of it, but Mrs. Wu took a fancy to Xie Jin and planned to let her son meet him one day. Another episode is that Zhenyi, who came to help entertain the ladies of the clan, bit her ear, and it was rumored that this banquet was held because she had been married for two years and was not pregnant, so she chose a side concubine for the prince, and conveyed Yuyi's original words, "If Brother Yuan wants to take a side maid, take Yiqing back to the Qingyi Courtyard to live his own small life, and find an honest and obedient person if he wants to have a child!"
It's strange that many girls always talk to her with a shy answer, it turns out that there is this kind of misunderstanding!
Gu Ci pursed his lips in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face, "Auntie, don't worry, we're fine." In the future, let Qijin and Brother Ye often come to the East Palace to play together, and go to Chongwen Hall. ”
That night, she repeated her old tricks, put on a set of gauze skirts as thin as cicada wings, embroidered only a few flowers at key points, and tried to knock down her husband.
Yuan Yi didn't dare to go to bed, and there was a war between heaven and man in her heart, so she wrapped her in a quilt next to the bed, "What's wrong with the baby today?" ”
Gu Ci couldn't match his strength, shrunk his round and white shoulders, flashed innocent eyes, looked at him with tears in his eyes, and his red lips slightly opened his tongue and licked the corners of his mouth, "I want my brother to ......"
Yuan Yi, who suddenly felt like crazy, closed his eyes, and didn't dare to look at her directly, "...... Let's make it clear! ”
"I just want you to hug it!"
Yuan Yi heard that she was already crying, her hands shook fiercely, and she resigned herself to getting into the bed, hugging her with the belt, and persuading her on the back of her head, "Good baby, my brother wants you more." But you're still young, shall we regenerate in two years? ”
"However, we have been married for two years......
As long as you don't look at her pure and charming little appearance, Yuan Yi's IQ still has a balance, "Who told you anything?" Leave them alone, I'll fix it. ”
Did Mama Xie come in? Or is it that one sells women to the little girl today? Or was the group of women who were sent as gifts in Nanyuan known to her? Let Ming Ting and Yiqing take care of it tomorrow!
“…… I know that when outsiders praise me for being virtuous and reasonable, they are implying that I am going to give you a concubine! But I don't want to be a virtuous woman, after Mingde Ma, I want to be a demon concubine of the country, and I won't let my brother look at other women! ”
Gu Ci suddenly felt so aggrieved that he really wanted to cry.
Yuan Yi secretly hated the person who chewed the root of his tongue, and coaxed her distressedly, "Don't think about it, just leave everything to my brother to deal with." Didn't you invite someone from Ebe tomorrow? When this is done, let's discuss when to have a baby, okay? ”
Gu Ci, who was reminded that there was still something to do tomorrow, immediately stopped, and secretly reviewed it, and wanted to stop getting out of bed to change clothes, but the ghost sent another sentence, "But I put on your favorite little clothes for the first time today......
Yuan Yi looked down, the bright purple tulle was extremely attractive on her snow-white and flawless skin, and the silver-pink hibiscus flower was about to cover the vital point, and she kissed it fiercely, "Little goblin!" Just once! ”
Gu Ci, who succeeded again, responded to him excitedly, and the two of them did something hastily, and fell asleep happily.
***********************
The venue of the Lantern Festival East Palace banquet was selected in the Qingyi Yuan's Lifang Garden, in the name of tasting the new wine of the Sichun Winery, the Ming side handed over the Zhuangzi who made alcohol to the Qi Nian management, and the business of the winery was designated by Gu Ci Bai Zhou and Gan Ming as the shopkeepers, in order to use liquor to open the southern grain road in the future.
Gu Ci also cultivated an experimental field in the black soil of Beiguan to grow high-quality rice, exchanged silk for a batch of local rice in Liuling City and Jiaozhi, and used these two kinds of rice as raw materials to brew two kinds of liquor and two kinds of rice wine respectively, and then there was a new liquor - 'Wuliangchun' brewed with wheat, rice, corn, sorghum and glutinous rice, and then tried to make a batch of ancient beer 'malt wine' to test the water.
In order to match the taste of ale, today's theme is barbecue BBQ, but fortunately, the weather is beautiful and there is no snow. In addition to the people who were invited today, other acquaintances also had two bottles of Gu Ci and sent them to the festival ceremony.
Qingyan Zhai of Lifang Garden is a big square courtyard, the side of the water is the open Xuan Lotus Lotus Champs, the middle courtyard is spacious enough, many snow sheds are built, the men's seats are left and the women's seats are right, and there are half-person-high colored wind chimes and glass bead curtain screens scattered between them, which slightly avoid suspicion, and also add some elegance and light sound.
It is easy to say that in addition to the small transparent Eight Princes and the bitter Nine Princes who want to keep filial piety and can't, they are unwilling, and the appeal of Bailichun is not ordinarily strong, not to mention that there are new wine samples, and everyone in Du Kang's mouth is uninvited, for example, the king of Hejian County, who has not appeared for a long time, came with his son Yuan Zhao, Ren Lei, the prince of Dingguo, Ning Zhengqing of Dali Temple, Cen Yushi, the southwest salt transport envoy, and Qingfeng Silei, plus the civil officials who accompanied the Hanlin Academy, Kou Zhangyuan, Ma Sai Wine, Yang Yushi, Cheng Fu Yin, and Chi Rui, Duan Ang, and the military attache of the first line. Ruan's commanding envoys, Cheng You's envoys, You Zuo's envoys, etc., not to mention a group of clan gentlemen surnamed Yuan, had not yet opened the banquet, and the scene was already enthusiastic.
The female guest was drafted by Gu Ci and the Queen Mother, and several hearty and generous elders were invited to the clan, such as Zhenyi, Princess Runan County, Princess Hejian County, etc., and then the wives of the military generals and nobles, and the people of the same generation were mainly unmarried girls. Of course, in addition to the five candidates, there are also Xie Jin, Ren Shushen, and Lu Qianzhe, Lu Si, who automatically invited Ying to open their eyes. Lu Si is the one who once wanted to play chess with Gu Ci on the boat of the Yuzhuan River.
BBQ is the easiest activity to close the distance, not to mention that there are not many palace attendants arranged next to it to help with the baking, ladies don't want to do it themselves to let their own maids on, want to come by themselves better, a grill next to a palace maid to help watch the fire to remind the brush sauce to turn over, the men are naturally more willing to do their own food and clothing.
After Gu Ci invited everyone to sit down, the refreshments were poured on the wine, and a few good words were said for the New Year, and the first one rolled up his sleeves and began to roast chicken wings. If you want to pay attention to the difference between men and women, demeanor and appearance, don't come to this banquet to meet the guests of Hubei as soon as possible, the people on the grassland are directly slaughtered and roasted next to it, and the BBQ will be skewered for you.
There is a roast whole sheep on the side of the men's seat, and the fire is even stronger, Gu Ci specially explained that the malt wine was slightly chilled and then served with barbecue, and the liquor was poured after the first round of honey yogurt. The women's table was mainly rice wine, but when Lu Si pinched more than a dozen strings of mutton tendons and began to skillfully brush the sauce, he shouted, "Don't be stingy, the princess, rice wine is not good." ”
Gu Ci smiled and asked the elders if they wanted to have some liquor to warm up, and most of them wanted to try new wine. After a round of drinking, not only did the men's table have begun to gamble and roll the dice, but the female guests also relaxed a lot.
Lu Si is really massive, Gu Ci watched her take a small sip of Wuliangchun moisturizingly, and she was fascinated and comfortable, she was too drunkard!
After months of hearing and meeting with the interpreters, the people of Ebe recognized the difference between the hairstyles of married and unmarried girls, and knew which of the coquettish customers might be their future wives, so they had already looked at them quietly. Jiang Ge is a little regretful, Da Yu really does not have a princess or county lord of the right age to marry, and he really wants to marry a woman from the Central Plains who is not very favored, and affect several wives in the family, which is not necessarily a good thing for him, so he has always had an ambiguous attitude. Debuku is a burly man with great bravery, he is the most enjoyable one in Yichun Building, and he likes the delicate and gentle appearance of the women of the Yu Dynasty too much, so he wants to marry such a little wife. Agdi's mood is a little complicated, I feel that I am not as beautiful as the crown princess, and the girl who is very good is also here today, I don't know how much she drinks.
Gu Ci saw Yuan Yi holding a wine glass and signaling to her, and took Yiqing over, Lu Si immediately followed, and said to the prince with a shy face, "Your Highness, I'm worried that the crown princess is weak and can't drink much, so I automatically ask the crown princess to drink on behalf of Ying, and ensure that not a drop is wasted!" ”
When the prince of Guide Bo saw his niece doing this, he almost choked on a sip of wine as if he was in a hurry to enter the East Palace as a concubine.
"Miss Lu Si is too polite," Gu Ci said to Lu Si with a smile, patting the prince with a cold face, "Your Highness, do you want to call someone to help too?" I've heard that there are a lot of customers in Ebe. ”
Yuan Yi motioned to the unmarried Shan Gui to step forward, Shan Gui didn't dare to delay, and came over with a wine glass as if he was dead, so that as if he was against this unobtrusive Lu Si, Yiqing calmly held a pot of wine, and a few people went to the table of the guests in Hubei first.
Lu Si really didn't let Gu Ci get a drop of wine, and drank more boldly than the two men next to him, Yuan Zhao took Yuan Kai, the youngest son of the king of Hengshan County, Yuan Di, Yuan Feng and several other cousins of the Wang family of Runan County began to cheer for her, what 'meet three glasses of wine', 'a sip of stuffy', etc., the interpreter was not as fast as they spoke, Jiang Ge laughed, and motioned for the interpreter to rest, "It's not just drinking, needless to say, just drink!" ”
Without waiting for others to coax or refuse, Lu Si raised his glass and threw his head down, "Well said!" Another lean and tough man in the Ebe also had a drink with her, and then stretched out his hand to signal her to continue.
Lu Si's eyes lit up, and he turned around and said to Gu Ci with a bright smile, "The crown princess rewards a few bowls, this small cup is not good!" Gu Ci saw that the man called an interpreter to translate her words, so he nodded and let people serve two porcelain bowls, only to see that these two people were like brothers and sisters who had been separated for many years and finally met, sitting on a small table to drink wine, but there was an interpreter next to them.
Guide Bo Shizi's eyes were about to collapse, but fortunately, at this time, Agdi came up to toast Yuan Yi and Gu Ci, and then asked, "Can I go over there and toast that girl?" ”
Gu Ci knew who she was talking about, and nodded and motioned for a female guard to lead him over, which was also a little relieved of Lu Si's outrageous behavior of running to the men's seat to drink. Seeing this, Duan Ang pulled Chi Rui and asked Jiang Ge and the others to meet his wife in the gap between the small screen in the middle, and the prince even took his wife to have a drink with Zhenyi and several princesses. For a while, the men's and women's seats were no longer distinct, and the relieved Guide Bo Shizi wiped his cold sweat, and gratefully decided to give the heaviest gift to the East Palace in the future!
The more clever Yuan Di hinted that his younger brother Yuan Feng and Debuku had a good set, and then he learned from the prince to go to the women's seat to pay respects to the elders, and then introduced himself to the five candidate sisters in the name of cousins. Yuan Feng, who reacted, also came with Debuku, although the girls were a little embarrassed, but Debuku's fluency in Chinese was still very impressive, they were not very old with each other, Yuan Di and Yuan Feng were there, talking about the scenery and wild fun of the grassland and snow ridge, the atmosphere was not bad.
Gu Ci noticed that the girl Debuku looked at the most was Yuan Minmin, her father was the emperor's youngest brother who was currently alive, and should have been named the king of the city and county, but his mother was only a palace maid, and there was also a scandal about food, and the canonization edict was mercilessly plucked back by the cabinet and refused to be sealed. So although he is called the king of Rencheng County, he actually has no title. Yuan Minmin is the last girl in the family, although her name is similar to her fourth sister-in-law Yuan Minhe, her circumstances are very different. Her biological mother is just a little singer, she was in the outer room before, and when she returned to the house, Mrs. Cheng didn't recognize her concubine anyway on the grounds that she didn't know her innocence, and the waste county king who relied on his wife didn't dare to squeak, and she was wronged and only recognized this little daughter. Her brother can only be surnamed under the stage name of his biological mother, called Bai Muyang, and he grew up in the house with an embarrassing identity.
The other girls naturally saw that Debuku's interest was in Yuan Minmin, and after a while, they said goodbye and went elsewhere to eat, drink and socialize, Yuan Minmin's pretty face was slightly pink, a little timid, and she continued to chat with a few people generously, until Yuan Di and Yuan Feng pulled Debuku away. Debuku complained before leaving, "You Central Plains people are very, that, girls will be shy, men should like women, why don't people say, not men!" ”
At the end of the feast, in addition to people like Xie Jin, who were eating silently from beginning to end, there were also many people who were drunk and couldn't stand up straight. The king of Huainan County was implicated in the matter of serving the illness and fined a lot of money, and his family's Yuan Jian and Yuan Lei were eager to curry favor with the East Palace, and were sent by Yuan Yi to guard against the two unmarried princes throughout the whole process, even if the Nine Emperors in brocade and white robes drank vegetarian wine, they were also vomited.
Gu Ci dealt with the drunk first, and asked the chamberlains to send the male guests directly to Qingyan Zhai to pour vomiting soup and honey water, so that they could sleep peacefully, and the female guests were helped by the palace maids to get on the soft sedan chair and go to the guest room of the Huguo Mansion to rest. If you can still go, send them to the car, and arrange a few guards from the Wurate Mansion or a female escort from Gu Ci to send them home. Of course, the unmarried girls were all sent home by the carriage of the East Palace, and nothing could go wrong!
Gu Ci, who only drank a little bit of rice wine and had flushed cheeks, had no strength to do bad things after returning to the East Palace, and fell asleep in seconds after washing, which made the slightly drunk Yuan Yi breathe a sigh of relief, and he was faintly disappointed.
***********************
The next morning, the prince and his wife, who wanted to lie in bed after breakfast, nested into the warm soft quilt and muttered about yesterday's situation.
This form of feasting is unexpectedly acceptable, not open enough to stimulate the nerves of the guardians of the great defense of men and women, but also to fully realize the communication between men and women, especially for purely male occasions. Gu Ci commented, 'Eating meat in large pieces and drinking wine in large gulps is a real man', which won Yuan Yi's heart.
As the owner of the greeting from all directions, he was not hungry, the skewers were easy to eat, there were oiled paper and plates, and his hands and clothes would not be dirty. It does not affect the elegance of handsome men and women, and the stove and grill are safe and warm, and the open air does not feel cold. If it weren't for the female customers, the ingredients could be slaughtered. Gu Ci was a little regretful that he couldn't add roasted sweet potatoes, roasted chestnuts, and flower chicken, but fortunately, her husband promised to cook these dishes for her in the small kitchen at home today.
Of course, as the hostess, Gu Ci proudly announced that the cost of yesterday's banquet, even if you add the money for the decorations and chopsticks, all add up to no more than five hundred taels! Her expression of 'I've saved a lot of money, praise me' made Yuan Yi's heart melt like water, if she hadn't been thinking about the child, she would have exploded a long time ago!
Gu Ci looked at his forbearance expression, a little unbearable, and kissed the corner of his mouth, "Brother, I will be obedient in the future, you think it is appropriate, we will have a baby again." ”
Yuan Yi kissed her excitedly, almost out of control, but fortunately, Yiqing knocked on the door to report the situation of Qingyan Zhai's overnight guests, interrupting the room and letting a pair of disheveled mandarin ducks pant and separate.
