Chapter 55: Cause
Cui Keyin asked Mingyue to ask Zhou Heng to take the time to come over.
It wasn't until the time of the lamp that Zhou Heng said goodbye and left.
After having dinner in Chunshanju, he sat down for a while, and within a quarter of an hour of returning to Huayuexuan, Zhou Heng came over.
He put two boxes of snacks on the kang table and said with a smile: "Everyone says that your eldest uncle is silent and uninhibited, but I didn't expect that he is a man who can speak well." ”
Cui Keyin invited him to come for today's matter, and it was best for him to speak first, "Why do you say that?" ”
Zhou Heng lifted his robe, sat down on the kang, and said, "First make a cup of your good tea here for me to drink, and I'll tell you in detail." ”
Seeing him pretending like this, Cui Keyin deliberately shouted: "Lu Ying, make a big red robe." ”
Lu Ying came in response, holding a cup of steaming tea in her hand, and the soup was ruddy.
Zhou Heng said: "No sincerity. ”
Cui Keyin waved her hand to let Lu Ying retreat, took the tea set sent by Zhou Heng, and set up the small clay stove.
Zhou Heng took the silver frost charcoal from the small bamboo basket with a clip at the right time, hit the flint, and lit the silver frost charcoal with a paper medium, but turned his head to find Cui Keyin staring at him without blinking.
He saw his own shadow in her eyes.
Zhou Heng's face flushed slightly, and he coughed lightly.
This man is really focused on doing things, even small things like lighting silver frost charcoal, he is also engrossed. Cui Keyin made no secret of her admiration for him.
A man who is focused on doing things is undoubtedly sexy and has great attraction to women. Although Cui Keyin hasn't realized this yet, it is a fact that she is full of tenderness and affection.
This cough. made Cui Keyin come back to her senses and blushed. Lower your eyelids and bow your head.
There was silence in the room for a moment. The atmosphere was a little strange.
Lu Ying took a snack and walked to the door, her hand had already touched the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei, and she caught a glimpse of the expressions of the two of them, and retracted again.
Zhou Heng's hand wrapped around Cui Keyin's waist, and seeing that Cui Keyin didn't avoid it, he gently pressed her into his arms and put her cheek against her hair. Smell the fragrance in her hair.
Cui Keyin leaned her head on his shoulder, and her heart was never more steady.
There was silence all around, except for the rustle of the leaves in the wind.
After a long time, Cui Keyin gently pushed Zhou Heng away and sat down on the edge of the kang. Zhou Heng followed, sat beside her, and said with a smile: "Before, you let the maids put on the big red robe?" ”
When he sat down with Cui Zhenyi, he brought up the big red robe, and his heart warmed.
Cui Keyin nodded. said: "I didn't think about it so much, and told my aunt about your love of drinking big red robes, and I won't be in the future." ”
Of course Zhou Heng understood the meaning of her words. took her hand and shook it, and said, "It's okay, the situation hasn't been so intense." ”
"If it's me. Take this opportunity to get rid of you and blame the Cui family again. It couldn't be better. Cui Keyin said: "The eldest uncle resisted the decree before. ”
If you can get rid of Zhou Heng, you will lose Cui's money. And what is it?
Zhou Heng said: "Do you want to clean up the slaves?" I'll have a lot of time to eat here in the future. ”
He laughed softly as he spoke.
Cui Keyin said: "The host is the eldest aunt, I can only remind you, but you can't go beyond the blister." ”
This is exactly what she is worried about, she can't do it herself, she can only watch it, which is really powerless.
Zhou Heng smiled: "You don't have to worry, even if it is for the sake of the Cui family, the eldest aunt will try her best to maintain my safety." ”
mentioned Cui Zhenyi, which reminded Cui Keyin of the purpose of coming to him, and said, "What are you talking about with your uncle?" ”
"The royal brother has a soft temperament, and he obeys Wang Zheyan, Wang Zhehu pretends to be a tiger, buying and selling officials. The eldest uncle, as a servant of the ministry, is the person who arranges the officials below the fourth grade, and it is difficult to deal with Wang Zhe. He wanted me to persuade the royal brother. Zhou Heng said softly.
Cui Zhenyi asked him what he thought of imperial power, and Zhou Heng said that Emperor Zhi'an was orthodox. Cui Zhenyi was very satisfied, and asked Zhou Heng to go to the study, and told him in detail about Wang Zhe's sale of six or seven official positions, hoping that he would go straight to heaven.
Cui Keyin was taken aback and said, "How can this be done?" ”
Zhou Heng said: "Yes." ”
doesn't say whether he promised Cui Zhenyi or not.
Cui Keyin said: "You said it's not appropriate. ”
There was starlight flashing in Zhou Heng's eyes, and he said softly: "I know." So listen to him, give him advice, if he is willing to listen, not only can he earn a good reputation in Shilin, but also get a good reputation among his colleagues. Brother Huang, I have my own way around. ”
She wasn't mistaken about him. Cui Keyin snuggled on Zhou Heng's shoulder, and neither of them spoke.
………………………………
Dingxing Hou Mansion, Li Mingfeng said: "It's been a few days since the rumors were released, and he also returned to Beijing, and he didn't ask the Queen Mother to marry you." ”
Since you can't win the title of the main concubine, then you will be a side concubine first, and then enter the Jin Palace. Li Xiuxiu learned that the emperor gave her a marriage and that the princess of Jin was Cui Keyin, so she was so angry that she fell for a long time, held it for a few days, and came up with such an idea.
Cui Zhenyi's resistance to the order, in Li Mingfeng's view, is completely a show, in order to raise Cui's value. Now that her daughter has become the laughing stock of the capital, she is about to get married, in contrast, it is better to listen to her daughter, not only has a prince and son-in-law, but also can pick up the lost face.
As long as the name of the side concubine has been decided, the rumor that the King of Jin would rather become a monk than marry Li Xiuxiu will naturally be self-defeating.
However, things did not go in the direction that Lee Xiuxiu had planned. Li Mingfeng felt a little uncertain in his heart.
"Dad, you give him a post and invite him to come over tomorrow." Li Xiuxiu said: "Which man is not lustful? Tomorrow my daughter will see him. ”
Li Mingfeng was very confident in his daughter's appearance, nodded again and again, and immediately sent the housekeeper to the Jin King's Mansion to post a post, instructing him to wait for the Jin King's reply before returning to the house.
It wasn't until the third watch that the housekeeper came back and complained first: "The imperial history of patrolling the city is becoming more and more disagreeable, the old slave took the name of the Hou Ye, and they even interrogated them again and again." ”
Night curfew in the capital. The Dingguang Marquis Mansion is just a third-rate noble, and it is not the Dingxing Marquis himself who walks on the street in the middle of the night, but a subordinate in the mansion, and it is normal to interrogate him.
Li Mingfeng didn't want to hear this, he was impatient to wait, and reprimanded the housekeeper: "Let you go and deliver the poster, and you can also send it for two hours, you won't go to a place where you shouldn't go, right?" ”
The housekeeper called out to hit the sky: "Master Hou, the old slave has been waiting in the gatehouse of the Jin Palace. The car of the king of the third watch Tianjin returned home, and the little one was busy stopping him and handing over the post in person. ”
I told the scene when the curtain of the car was lifted and I saw the handsome face under the lantern.
Li Xiuxiu intercepted: "You said that King Jin is handsome and has an elegant temperament? ”
Seeing the butler nodding vigorously, he couldn't help but be secretly happy. That day, Zhupeng in Beihai saw a handsome little guy, and then asked people to look for it, but she still hasn't found it, which makes her miss it every day. If King Jin is good-looking, she can also throw that little guy away.
Li Mingfeng said: "What did King Jin say? ”
The housekeeper spread his hands and said helplessly: "King Jin, his old man is not available tomorrow." ”
Li Mingfeng kicked the butler on his heel and said, "I'll go to him in person tomorrow." (To be continued......)
