Chapter 282: A Visit
Perhaps it was the shadow left by the penalized copying of books that year on the old lady Situ was too profound, so after the daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law for many years, the old lady carried forward this "glorious tradition", and none of the daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law of Situ Mansion could escape the fate of the punishment of copying books.
And Mrs. Situ is very idle, she likes to look at the books that others have copied, not to mention ghostwriting, that is, if she is a little lazy and sloppy, she will be ordered to copy it anew.
Cheng Yiyao's words were taught by Mr. Luo, although it is not better than everyone, but it is not comparable to Mrs. Situ, since she can't find fault with her and let her rewrite, Mrs. Situ will punish her a few more times, each time she copies it is twenty times to lay the foundation, this time a total of sixty times, although it is not the most one, it is not a lot, fortunately, there is no specified time, Cheng Yiyao thought that he would copy it slowly, and by the way, he could be lazy and not have to go to the morning and dusk province, and he could sleep a few lazy.
The old lady seemed to see Cheng Yiyao's intentions, and said in a deep voice: "Every morning and dusk, when the province is fixed, copy enough for an hour with me and then go back!" ”
Cheng Yiyao instantly felt that the whole person was not good, at the beginning, the Duchess of the Kingdom really shouldn't have set the rule of going to the morning and dusk on the fifteenth day of the first day of the month, Cheng Yiyao has been used to getting up late for many years, and now getting up every morning is like a war, she is tired, and they are even more tired, although she laments in her heart, she still agrees with the rules on her face.
Old Madam Situ said everything that needed to be said outside the second gate, and then turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Situ You didn't follow them back to the inner courtyard, but went directly to the outer courtyard with Mo Yan, and he didn't know what was urgent, so Cheng Yi didn't ask much.
Now that Cheng Yiyao has been grounded again. The affairs of the house had to be taken over by the Zhai family again, but fortunately, Cheng Yiyao took care of it for more than half a month, and returned the account books to the Zhai family. There is no need for too many handovers
Zhai's work efficiency was quite high, and on the second day, he had already prepared a thank-you gift, and sent a letter to the Huai'an Palace, and on the third day, he took Cheng Yiyao and Situ You to the Huai'an Palace.
The king of Huai'an is also a general, although he was forced to hand over the military power back then, but now he still has the right to dispatch two thousand guards, and the guards are no more than 10,000. Although it is not one of the five armies of Dayong, it is the foundation of the Shengshang's life, after all, the army is thousands of miles away. If something really happens, far water can't quench the thirst of the near.
At the beginning, the saint forced this imperial uncle to hand over the military power, and the king of Huai'an also had some complaints in his heart, but finally agreed. It was only demanded that the dispatch rights of the two thousand Guards be exchanged for it. It is the foundation of his life.
Although the saint was also worried that the guards were not safe in the hands of this imperial uncle, but the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops still made him have to compromise, these years the king of Huai'an is quite peaceful, and the saint has not been able to find an excuse to seize his power, so it has been so deadlocked, these two thousand guards have almost become the private army of the king of Huai'an raised by the imperial court.
It is said that the King of Huai'an and the Chengguo Mansion still have some origins, when Cheng Jingrui was temporarily dispatched to the west to take over the military power in the hands of the King of Huai'an, the original plan of the Chengguo Duke was just to let his son sharpen by his side for a few years. After Grandpa Guo retired, if Cheng Jingrui was competent, he would stay there.
But at that time, the military power in the hands of the king of Huai'an had just been recovered. The saint couldn't find a suitable candidate, and there was a temporary change in the west, so he had to temporarily transfer Cheng Jingrui to the past.
In order to avoid being suspicious of the saints, the relationship between the Guogong Mansion and the Huai'an Royal Mansion has been cold for so many years.
Although it is best not to deal with the Huai'an Palace, but this time after all, people have helped, and it would be rude if you don't go to thank you, but this trip still has to go, Zhai also had some concerns when he first heard that Situ You asked her to go together, and after thinking about it, he discussed it with Situ Xuankang, and finally decided to go on this trip in person.
Huai'an Mansion is the only mansion that is not in the capital, Huai'an Mansion is located in the northern suburbs, because of the need to go out of the city, the distance is a little far, the three of them set off early in the morning and arrived at the right time.
The Huai'an palace is heavily guarded, it can almost be said that it is five steps, one sentry, ten steps and one post, until the second gate is gone, the trace of this group of guards is gone, if it is not for the previous worship post, someone led the way, and it is really impossible to enter the palace.
These guards are all soldiers of the Guards, and now the King of Huai'an has set up the training base of the two thousand Guards directly not far from the palace, and even the Guards as a private army to guard the mansion, no wonder the saint's fear of the King of Huai'an is second only to the Queen Mother and the Royal Prince.
entered the inner courtyard of the palace, and it was Princess Huai'an who met Cheng Yiyao and Zhai, and Situ You was naturally left in the outer courtyard.
"See the princess!"
"Madame Situ and the young lady don't have to be polite! You may be seated! "Princess Huai'an is a woman who looks like she is in her forties, but Cheng Yiyao knows that she is only in her early thirties, two years younger than the king of Huai'an, but she has always been frail and sickly, and she has never been able to give birth after having a child with the prince of Huai'an. But since then, he has been completely injured, and he has never been able to get pregnant, and he has collapsed all of a sudden, and now he is only in his thirties, but he looks nearly fifty years old, which is more than ten years older than his actual age.
Zhai sat down under the princess and said with a smile: "Please don't be surprised by the princess if you take the liberty to disturb today!" ”
"Naturally not, I rarely come, I'm not in good health and don't go out much, how can I not be happy when my wife comes to chat with me!" The princess said and covered her face with a handkerchief, coughed a few times, "See the smile!" ”
"It's us who disturbed the princess's cultivation!" Zhai's face was full of apologies, "My daughter-in-law was reckless The day before yesterday, I really lost your mansion Concubine Li to help, and I didn't have time to thank Concubine Li in a hurry that day!" ”
"Madame is gracious!" Princess Huai'an smiled gently, and she couldn't tell if she knew about it, "It's just a gesture!" ”
Cheng Yiyao stood up and said, "The day before yesterday, I was in a hurry to pick up the driver in the princess's mansion, and I didn't have time to thank Sister Li, I was uneasy, I have to thank Sister Li in person if I say anything!" ”
"The young lady is polite! It just so happened that Concubine Ben and Mrs. Situ had a rare opportunity to chat! Princess Huai'an turned to the maid on the side and said, "Take Young Lady Situ to Qingliu Courtyard!" (To be continued......)
