Chapter 63: Boxing

Guo Li got the letter and acted very quickly, and the perpetrator was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn and executed in September. It was August, and he only had one month to live. As for Ren Zhongmin, who ran to the capital to run/official, he spent 3,000 taels of silver in vain, ended up dead, and went back to Quanzhou in disgrace.

Yan Qingyun took care of the aftermath of Li's fourth wife and children, and became Cui Keyin's staff.

Cui Keyin bought a small courtyard near Xinglin Hutong to house Yan Qingyun and Li Si, who had not recovered from his injuries.

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, everyone is giving gifts. Jiang drew up a gift list, showed it to Cui Keyin, told her one by one, why did she send it like this, and asked the account room to take the account books of previous years, compare it with this year, and then tell her the reason why the gifts were different from previous years.

Cui Keyin studied very seriously.

The Jin Wangfu sent a Boxing Lily, a car full of them.

It was Huanxi who came, after handing over the rituals, he went to Chunshan Ju to see the Jiang family, and then went to Huayuexuan to see Cui Keyin, took out a box from his arms and presented it to both hands, and said, "The prince said, give the young lady a taste." ”

Two dragons with teeth and claws on the bright yellow box.

Lu Ying, who went to pick up the box, was startled, and the outstretched hand retracted.

Huanxi explained: "It was the emperor who appreciated the prince's moon cakes, and the prince tasted it and thought it tasted very good, so he sent it to the young lady to taste it too." ”

It turned out to be rewarded by the emperor, no wonder there were two dragons engraved on the box.

Lu Ying patted her heart, carefully took it, and then presented it to Cui Keyin.

Cui Keyin opened it and looked at it, and there were four yellow mooncakes on the bright yellow velvet, and the cake surface was shiny with oil, which could be seen to be very fresh.

"Thank you for me." Cui Keyin said, and asked Moyu: "Send a basket of hairy crabs sent this morning to the prince to taste." ”

Mo Yu responded and went back to Jiang's family. Then go to the kitchen to pass the word.

Cui Keyin stayed happy to drink tea and eat snacks: "It is not only the moon cake festival, but also our moon cakes." ”

He thanked him happily. smiled and said: "I often hear the prince say that there is a sister who makes dim sum and is delicious, and it is also excellent to come to moon cakes." It's just that the minions don't have a mouthful. I have to go to the mansion of Mr. Ma and Mr. Wang to give a gift to him. ”

Mr. Ma is Ma Liang, and Mr. Wang is Wang Zhe.

Cui Keyin was surprised and said, "Chief Manager Ma's mansion also sent a gift to him?" ”

Zhou Heng said that Wang Zhe asked him for a gift, how could he send it together with Ma Liangfu? In this way, wouldn't it offend Wang Zhe?

Huanxi was quite dissatisfied, and said: "Who doesn't know that the king of Fan is not allowed to make friends with eunuchs." The manager also asked the prince to pay a ritual, isn't this harmful to the prince?

Yesterday, the prince entered the palace to accompany the emperor to paint lotus flowers, and it happened that the chief manager Wang was grinding ink on the side. The prince said that the king had served the emperor faithfully for 20 years. Deeply admired by the prince, he originally wanted to send two boxes of moon cakes to show his respect, but unfortunately because of the identity of the king of Fan, he could only think about it in his heart.

When the emperor heard the prince say this, he was very happy, and asked the prince not to worry about the law of his ancestors, and he specially allowed the prince to do his best on his behalf.

I don't know how this word spread to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother specially called the prince to Kunning Palace, saying that since the king is in charge. Mr. Ma has served her old man for most of his life, and he deserves a share.

Therefore, the minions will have to go to these two mansions for a trip. ”

Zhou Heng, didn't he dig a pit to let Emperor Zhi'an's mother and son jump? Cui Keyin was speechless.

Huanxi stood in the end and ate a piece of moon cake and drank a cup of tea. before going back.

Cui Keyin brought the moon cakes sent by Zhou Heng to Chunshan Residence, cut the autumn waiting under the corridor, and saw Cui Keyin coming. He saluted and whispered, "Someone is coming to the palace." ”

Cui Keyin nodded. Went to the tea room.

The little maid who was waiting for the tea hurriedly made tea and said, "Miss, do you want to eat a snack?" ”

There is a low cupboard in the tea room. The snacks that are often entertained, melon seeds, cold fruits, and melons and fruits are all placed there.

Cui Keyin took the tea and said, "No need, you watched the guests leave, come and talk to me." ”

But half a pillar of incense, there was a sound of footsteps outside. The little maid came in and said, "Sister Cuihuan has sent the guests out." ”

Jiang Shi looked tired and sat on the kang in a daze.

"Auntie." Cui Keyin saluted with a smile, walked over and said, "But I'm tired, I'll ask Zilan to pinch your shoulder." ”

Seeing that it was Cui Keyin, Jiang smiled and said, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

Cui Keyin handed over the box and said, "The prince sent it to Huanxi, saying that it was rewarded by the emperor." ”

"He has a heart." Jiang said with relief.

Cui Keyin asked the maids to take knives and forks, re-brewed tea, and cut a piece of moon cake with clean hands, but it was filled with crystal.

Jiang tasted it and said, "The imperial dining room is different, chewy, not sweet at all." ”

In fact, Wang Zhongfang said that the Queen Mother was too old to eat too sweet and fatty food, so the imperial dining room had to try its best to mix it to make the pie filling delicious and not sweet.

The two ate a piece, and Cui Keyin cut another piece, but it was filled with bean paste, and it turned out that the taste of each piece was different.

"The remaining two pieces are reserved for the eldest uncle and eldest brother." Cui Keyin closed the box.

Jiang helped Cui Keyin smooth the broken hair in front of his forehead and said, "Good boy, he specially gave it to you, you keep it for yourself." ”

Cui Keyin smiled: "It's interesting to eat together as a family." ”

Jiang's eyes were complicated when he looked at Cui Keyin. Cui Keyin looked down at herself, there was nothing wrong, and she couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang retracted his gaze and said, "Just now, someone came to the palace, and the Queen Mother sent an edict asking you to participate in the moon viewing party." I excused myself on the grounds that you hadn't passed the door yet, but the chamberlain said that the name had already been decided, and you should not refuse. ”

The chamberlain from the palace spoke in a bad tone.

Jiang was worried that the Queen Mother had the intention of looking at Cui Keyin again. The Cui family was originally not a rare princess, if Emperor Zhi'an did not give marriage, Cui Keyin would be nothing even if she participated in the moon viewing party. I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will be picked by others, and she will pick bones in her eggs, and then she will withdraw from this family under the pretext of "dealing with faux pas", and Cui Keyin's reputation will be ruined.

Cui Keyin comforted Jiang and said, "Don't worry, auntie, isn't there still King Jin?" Send someone to ask the King of Jin to see what the Queen Mother means. ”

Jiang had Cui Keyin reminded, felt a little at ease, taught Lu Ying a few words, and asked her to go to the Jin Palace.

Ding Dashan came to report that someone came to give a gift again, and Jiang had to see someone who came.

There are a lot of people who give gifts this year, and they usually just nod their heads, and people who don't have much to do with them have also sent a gift this year, and a gift is a car. I don't know if it has anything to do with marriage.

There was a lot of traffic in front of Cui's house, which provoked the neighbors to come out to see the excitement, and most of them said enviously: "It would be nice to have such honor as your family." ”

To the north of Xinglin Hutong is Guozijian, where all the people live are scholars, most of them are Beijing officials of the fourth or fifth grade, I didn't think anything about it before, but now the Cui family has a princess, and this status is not a little bit high. No wonder the neighbors are envious.

The Cui family gave the neighbors a three-tenth-percent more Boxing gift this year than in previous years. (To be continued......)
