275 Hard
One day in early October, Emperor Hongyuan returned to Kyoto with the people who had gone with him to hunt in the royal enclosure.
A few days later, the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion also held its first banquet since entering Beijing.
The theme of the banquet is still the flower feast.
That day Chi Linglong also passed early, seeing the scattered hibiscus flowers placed in the mansion, and seeing the people busy with matters in an orderly manner, I also had to sigh in my heart, no matter how difficult the Zhou family's methods to deal with their daughters were, as a clan woman, the ability of the housekeeper is not to be said.
Chi Linglong was dressed very solemnly, but she was also low-key enough.
She knew that the purpose of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to hold the flower banquet this time was indeed to make friends with the powerful people in the capital, so that the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion could gain a firm foothold in Kyoto soon.
Second, it is also the Zhou family and the Lin family, who are busy looking at others for their daughters, and busy letting other noblewomen in Kyoto look at Chi Mingwan and Chi Mingzhen.
On this day, Chi Mingwan dressed as a gentle and virtuous lady, her eyebrows and eyes were like water, she acted like a weak willow supporting the wind, her words and deeds were polite and courteous, and her treatment of people and things was remarkable, which made the eyes of many noblewomen shine.
Ji Mingzhen is still dressed in a gorgeous red brocade dress, compared to the depression of some time ago, today's Ji Mingzhen's face is bright and delicate, like a rose blooming together.
She was born gorgeous, and such a look is not pleasing.
However, who doesn't know that Ji Mingzhen is the real eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion.
She has a father who is a marquis, and a brother who has entered the emperor's blue eyes, and her sister is about to marry into the Qin Palace.
With such a family background, not to mention that Ji Mingzhen herself has no other problems except for her temper. I think that she really has a hidden disease, and she is also a powerful family, and she wants to hire her for her children and grandchildren.
is busy all day, and there are no longer a few noble ladies who ask about the relatives of Chi Mingwan, Chi Mingzhen and Chi Minghuan.
This situation finally made Zhou think about it for a long time and let it go.
However. That night, Zhou thought about the eldest son's family. But he was really angry and hated, so even Chi Zhongyuan resented.
She hired Xie Hui from Qingyang Bofu for her eldest son?
During the emperor's hunting, Zhou received a letter from Chi Zhongyuan. When he saw the contents of the letter, his eyes turned black and he almost fell to the ground.
She was depressed and came back to her senses. was really angry, and almost set the house on fire.
Anyway, her son is also the prince of the loyal and brave marquis's mansion. Just young, handsome and extraordinary, although not amazing, now in the capital. But he is also the number one "promising" person in the ranks.
The Zhou family can ask for it for the sake of retreat and choose a son-in-law for their daughter in Yizhou; son's family affairs, but he never thought of neglect; I didn't expect it. is so casual, the eldest son's family affairs are decided.
Together with the rank of the concubines of the Hou Mansion. The Zhou family still has to consider the assessment before it is possible for her son to be hired, she is so picky about a person, she actually wants her son to marry a girl from a broken family?
Qingyang Bofu, the kind of family that is glamorous on the surface, but dirty on the inside, can almost have maggots, she has poured blood mold for eight lifetimes before she has such a daughter-in-law.
The Zhou family is not an ignorant woman, and naturally knows that now that the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion is in the limelight, it is appropriate to act in a low-key manner.
However, no matter how low-key he is, no matter how unwilling the minister is to stand in line, he just wants to be a pure minister, and he shouldn't spread those "gossip", and he will set such a fiancée for his son in just a few words.
She didn't think about what a good girl she had set for Ji Shengjin at this juncture; According to her original plan, she planned to postpone her eldest son's family affairs for another two years.
Naturally, it was because she said in front of the old lady earlier that a monk had told the fortune of her eldest son, and asked him to marry after the age of eighteen, otherwise he would not succeed.
This is a lie she made up before in order to fool the old lady, in case she stuffed her niece from her eldest son.
Although according to the current situation, the old lady is in a coma every day, and she does not even dare to see anyone all day long, it is impossible to remember what she said in the early years.
But if this matter is spread by some people with ulterior motives, and she is given a reputation of "fooling the elders", the Zhou family can't afford to be guilty.
Second, the Hou Mansion is now full of flowers, which is too beautiful.
Although Zhou and Chi Zhongyuan only have some simple husband and wife relationships, they have been husband and wife for so many years, and they still have a good understanding of Chi Zhongyuan's style.
If it is at this juncture and sets up a family affair for the eldest son, Chi Zhongyuan will designate a Yue family for the eldest son who has no ability to help, or some daughter of the sacrificial wine Hanlin who is noble on the surface and poor on the inside.
These do not meet Zhou's requirements for the future eldest daughter-in-law.
But at this point, let alone choosing a girl from a noble family as a wife for her son, she had to marry Xie Hui, the second girl from Qingyang Bofu, to enter the door?
And before the day after tomorrow, the dowry for Qingyang Bofu will be ready?
The more he thought about these things, the more Zhou had a headache, as if his temples began to jump suddenly.
knew that this would be the case now, and she might as well agree to her sister-in-law's mention and directly let her son marry Zili, the third girl from the Marquis of Anshun.
Although the sister-in-law's two women have lost the face of the Hou Mansion, no matter what, the Hou Mansion of Anshun is her maiden family after all.
Instead of cheapening Qingyang Bofu, she might as well let a niece be her daughter-in-law.
Zhou thought about it, and the night passed.
On the eighth day of the first month of October, Chi Shengjin was also accompanied by his second uncle Chi Zhongde, personally escorted a large ship of dowry gifts to Qingyang Bofu in Yizhou for employment.
Because of Ji Shengjin's family affairs, it is said that it is scheduled for mid-February of the following year.
At present, winter is about to begin, from November to mid-January of the next year, during the period of about two months, the canal from Yizhou to the capital, in the section closer to the capital, will freeze, the river transport can not pass.
Considering this, Chi Shengjin listened to his father Chi Zhongyuan's instructions and deliberately rushed to Yizhou to hire when the canal was still open.
The reason why the second old man, Chi Zhongde, accompanied Chi Shengjin to Yizhou, was also because Chi Zhongyuan had 200,000 troops in Kyoto and could never leave Beijing.
Chi Zhongli is a close minister of the Son of Heaven. These days, His Majesty especially likes to listen to his lectures, and Chi Zhongli can't get out of his body, so please don't come on leave.
As a result, I can only let the second master, who is as stupid as a pig and only knows how to spend all his time, accompany Chi Shengjin on a trip.
Shortly after Ji Shengjin went to Yizhou. Chi Linglong occasionally got a letter from Chi Mingxuan one day. When I opened it, my eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly interestingly.
Zhou is unwell and sick?
Of course. That's the official statement.
The real reason is that the Zhou family is unhappy because of the eldest son and eldest daughter, and the fire in his heart is blowing, and the wind blows at night. Got cold, as a result. The day before, I was just weak and couldn't get out of bed; Today, the people who burned it have started talking nonsense.
After reading the letter, Chi Linglong was still frowning and thinking about something, but she suddenly felt that the light in front of her was a lot dimmed. With two jumps in his heart, Chi Linglong looked up, and sure enough, he saw Qin Chenghe. At this time, he was standing not far from her, looking at her with burning eyes.
The light in his eyes was as bright as in the dark night. The brightest star.
It was so brilliant and dazzling, as if it could see her heart through a pair of eyes.
Chi Linglong's heart throbbed restlessly again.
She let out a soft "snort" in annoyance, and reached out to cover her eyes in frustration, so as not to be dazzled by the brilliance of the man's body and his dark and deep eyes.
Qin Chengsi has become more and more demonic recently, and she can't extricate herself from being bewitched.
When she saw him, her eyes were uncontrollably fixed on him, she was really unproductive.
Chi Linglong drooped the corners of her mouth depressedly, unhappy.
Qin Chengsi leaned on the door frame, seeing her crying face, looking tangled and annoyed, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slowly turn up, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were warm.
He walked to Chi Linglong's side, picked her up from the pestle like a little doll, put his arm on her little ass, and walked to the bed with her.
The resolute jaw rubbed against the hair on the top of Chi Linglong's head, and Qin Chengsi muttered comfortably and comfortably, "Ah Yu......"
As if she had no bones, Chi Linglong nested in Qin Chenghe's arms, and her little head rubbed against his neck socket several times before she slowly said "um".
Her voice was inaudible.
The voice seemed to come out of her throat, with the delicate humbling and shyness of her daughter's family, and only the muscles of Qin Chenghe's body tensed up at this moment.
"Ah Yu, it's not winter yet."
Qin Chengsi held Chi Linglong's earlobe, and his voice was a little muffled, "There is still a long time before we can get married......"
After winter, there will be a spring, and after that, it will be early summer, and Ah Yu will become his.
In the past, he didn't think that the time was so long and difficult, but now he really wanted to, so as soon as his eyes were closed and opened, Ah Yu became the princess of Qin and the wife he was marrying.
The afternoon sun is just right, and the hibiscus and roses under the windowsill are blooming brilliantly.
The faint fragrance of flowers, accompanied by a breeze, blew into the inner room.
This scene should be tranquil and make people only feel that the years are quiet, but Qin Chenghei is now anxious and depressed, and he just hates that tomorrow will be his Yu's wedding day.
This summer, when I watched Chi Linglong, she was only wearing thin sand bloomers and a thin bandeau to have fun in the inner room.
Qin Chengsi was angry in his heart, and felt that July and August of this year were the most difficult days in his life.
I didn't expect that compared to the previous desire. Fire. Burn. Burning, now his heart is even more on fire, anxious, he just can't wait to enter May next year in the blink of an eye.
There are still nearly seven months to go until May next year, which is too long......
The two people in the inner room whispered affectionately, and the people waiting outside for June and July naturally couldn't hear it.
However, looking at the originally cold, no feminine courtyard, gradually adding many bright colors, everywhere is a prosperous Zhiyuan Zhai, June and July, a few people, I can't help but sigh and warm in my heart.
In the days to come, it will always get better and better. (To be continued)
