220 Acts Cheaply
Time turns, and there are only five days left before the Lantern Festival.
Time flies quickly, however, in such a few short days, for the county lord of Pingyang, it is a long time, and it can almost make her head full of green hair turn white.
Outside the room, there was the sound of the little girl's footsteps, and the lord of Pingyang County had a trance on his face, and after hearing the movement outside, he immediately came back to his senses.
The girl had just stopped in front of the floor cover in the inner room when she heard the hoarse and gloomy voice of the county lord of Pingyang, like a ghost.
She asked grimly, "How?" β
The little girl's body trembled slightly a few times, and then she replied tremblingly, "Also, there is no news yet." β
In view of the fact that the county lord of Pingyang arrived in February this year, he was able to marry a woman, and Mu Changyao had also reached the age of marrying. and", therefore, it is impossible to postpone the family affair any longer.
From the beginning of the Lunar New Year, Qin Tianjian obeyed the decree of the Empress Dowager and began to find and calculate the good days and auspicious days within three months.
After a lot of busyness, I really calculated a few good days, and I heard that it was yesterday, so I sent these days to the Queen Mother.
The county lord of Pingyang was overjoyed, but also a little nervous, since yesterday, his spirit has become even more trance.
Her face was already haggard and hideous, and because she hadn't rested well for a while, her eyes were blue and black, her lips were shriveled and skinned, her skin was dull, and even the wrinkles on her forehead and the corners of her eyes were a lot.
The current county lord of Pingyang, where is he still like a royal county lord with dignified manners and elegant manners?
I'm afraid that even an ordinary peasant woman who works in the fields all year round can't be compared.
Fortunately, she always wears a veil when she goes out, covering her face tightly, and others can't see how vulgar her current image is.
Otherwise, I am afraid that in order to save the royal face, the elders in the clan will also completely remove her, the county lord with a vulgar face and out-of-character behavior!
However, when the county lord of Pingyang walks outside, she will wear a veil, but in the Kangjun Palace, her own territory, she has never liked veils and other things.
Maybe it's because she has received enough contempt and ridicule outside, and after returning to the Kangjun Palace, she has become even more arrogant and unscrupulous.
Not only did he deliberately show his vulgar and distorted face in front of everyone, as if to intimidate and deter everyone, but also, when he saw that there was a little bit of fear and fear in everyone's eyes, the county lord of Pingyang would definitely be fun and cruel, and he would kill people alive.
In the Kangjun Palace, the county lord of Pingyang has always only been a powerful man, and even more so in the inner room where she lives.
Right now, her little face was covered with scars like black-brown centipedes, and under the dim yellow light, it was even more weird and eerie like a ghost.
The little girl replied, and the whole person was also frightened, and a dense layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on her head.
Although the Queen Mother said that she wanted to be the master of Pingyang County and marry her to Mu Changyao, Mu Changyao also had a legitimate fiancΓ©e.
Stuffing the county lord of Pingyang to Mu Changyao is already the face of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and now, it is necessary to let the county lord of Pingyang take the lead in marrying Mu Changyao, no matter what, this matter must be approved by the Marquis of Zhongyong.
However, as we all know, the Marquis of Zhongyong was not in Beijing.
Therefore, the Queen Mother made an edict early this morning to let the representatives of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion in the capital, the three-room couple, enter the palace.
also specially recruited King Huijun to be a bridge in the middle, and discussed with Chi Zhongli what to do about this matter, and the Queen Mother conveyed her meaning to the Jiang family.
Right now, the Jiang family and Chi Zhongli have been in the palace for a day, and they haven't come out yet, and the county lord of Pingyang is not anxious.
As soon as he heard the little maid's words, he saw that the county lord of Pingyang threw it away, wrapped the whip around his waist, and threw it at the little maid's face before he could speak.
With a scream of pain, followed by the sound of crackling things being smashed to the ground, the maids on duty outside couldn't help but tighten their necks and tremble.
After a long while, the voice of the county lord of Pingyang sounded in the inner room again.
"Throw her out of here."
"Yes, yes......"
The little girl was in a hurry, and the body that was whipped on the ground was incomplete, and she was whipped all over. The little sister, who had fainted to death, was lifted.
In everyone's eyes, there is no schadenfreude at the moment, there is only the horror and sorrow of the rabbit and the fox.
The broken porcelain in the room and the tables and chairs that were turned over were also neatly cleaned up by the little girls, and after that, as if there were ghosts chasing them behind them, they all quickly ran out of the living room of the county lord of Pingyang.
When the outer rooms were closed and the room was a little quieter, the county lord of Pingyang leaned back with a headache and was loaded into the bed.
The green tendons on her forehead thumped, and the expression on her whole face looked even more distorted.
The county lord of Pingyang had a headache and slapped her head with her hands, obviously the lights in the room were bright, but she seemed to be in a dream at the moment.
This time she was walking in a remote bamboo forest in the house, and she was walking, and behind the low wall of the bamboo forest, there were two little girls whispering.
"I heard that Mu Sangongzi deliberately went to Yingmei Nunnery the day before yesterday and made an appointment with Miss Chi to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival."
"What's more, I also heard that because Miss Chi likes rabbit lamps, during this time, the three sons are learning to make lamps from craftsmen. He said that he was going to make thirteen rabbit lanterns for Miss Chi, who is thirteen years old this year......"
"Well, the third prince and Miss Chi are really a good match, I also heard that Miss Chi seems to have embroidered a purse and a handkerchief recently, ready to give it to the third son. The relationship between the two of them is really good......"
Lantern? Pouch? Veil!
The county lord of Pingyang suddenly woke up from his slumber.
She lay on the bed in a daze, motionless.
Even if she had opened her eyes and realized that the place she was in now was the boudoir where she had lived since she was a child, and when she recalled the words she heard in her dream, the county lord of Pingyang was still trembling with fear!
Two lovers?
Affiliated?
Chi Linglong that woman, she ...... It's horrible!
Lord Binh Duong closed his eyes, then opened them again.
However, at this moment, in her eyes, where is there still the stunned and empty of Fang Cai, it has all become stubborn and ruthless determination, and the cruelty and viciousness that will never give up if she doesn't kill Chi Linglong!
The county lord of Pingyang bit his lip, clenched his fists, and made up his mind in his heart, but he unconsciously remembered that the two little maids who always couldn't see their faces in the dream came.
She was very sure that the voices of the two maids had never been heard of in the Kangjun Palace.
But why do they keep running into her dreams?
Isn't it, is it really that God has mercy on her and is warning her?
The county lord of Pingyang had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and in the end, he called the girl outside to come in and ordered: "Go out and explore again, look at the three-room couple in Chifu, but they are already out of the palace?" β
After a slight pause, he said in a fluttering voice: "By the way,...... Find all the girls below the second rank in the mansion to the lord of the county, and the main things of the county must be instructed. β
"Yes, yes......"
The little girl trembled and went down to do something.
However, it was said that the three-room couple, who had been remembered by the county lord of Pingyang and many people in Kyoto, also went out of the palace gate when the county lord of Pingyang was "dreaming" again.
They got up early in the morning and left the Chifu and entered the palace at nearly midnight.
Another hour after noon, Jiang met the Queen Mother.
And because of the Queen Mother's "hospitality" and Jiang's "love at first sight", Jiang accompanied the Queen Mother to have dinner in the palace before leaving the palace.
At that time, Chi Zhongli had also arrived at the gate of the palace, and the eyes of the husband and wife passed by in mid-air.
Subsequently, it was not until he got into his own carriage and returned to Chifu, the two couples in the third room, and the feeling of escaping in his heart finally slowly dissipated.
When they arrived at Chifu, it was already late.
Lin Ge'er had already slept because of her young age.
In the warm pavilion, only Chi Mingxuan, who looked like he was not giving up, and Brother Jue, who was obviously yawning and sleepy, went straight to the download, but kept emphasizing that "I don't go back" and "I want to accompany my sister and wait for my father and mother to come back".
Chi Zhongli and Jiang entered the Wutong Courtyard, and Chi Mingxuan and Jue Ge'er ran out of the warm pavilion in an instant.
The old Jiang family was relieved, and personally sent the children back to the room to sleep, and then returned to the inner room.
In the living room of Jiang and Chi Zhongli, Chi Zhongli was still reclining at the head of the bed at the moment, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Jiang walked over, sat down on Chi Zhongli's side, and asked him, "King Huijun, but what did you say to Xianggong?" β
"What about you, how are you today? Is the Queen Mother embarrassed with you? β
Chi Zhongli pulled Jiang to his side, hugged her in his arms, and asked her with pity and distress.
Jiang hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
In fact, where may it not be wronged?
Although the Queen Mother summoned them this time, it was to save the face of the Marquis of Zhongyong.
However, who knows what the Queen Mother thought, after entering the palace, she gave her a dismount.
They got up early in the morning and entered the palace in a carriage, and she did not see the Queen Mother before noon.
And it wasn't until the Queen Mother had lunch and took a nap that she saw people.
During this period, she didn't even dare to drink saliva, although the noon banquet did not treat her badly, but the queen mother's attitude was ,...... It is impossible to say that you are not wronged.
However, these things, she would rather suffer by herself than sue SΓΉ Chi Zhongli.
Jiang said again: "The Queen Mother said that the fifth girl is only thirteen years old now, and her body has not yet opened, and marrying earlier will not be good for her." β
After considering the words, she said: "The queen mother also said that now let the county lord of Pingyang and Mu Changyao marry, in order to compensate the five girls, she will first seal the position of the county lord of the five girls, and wait for her to marry into the Anguo Mansion two years later, and immediately give the wife of the prince a fate." β
Let's not talk about this "county lord", there is no fiefdom and food, he just shouts good, but in fact, there is no one hundred taels of silver to work.
The latter "Lady of the Prince's Decree", didn't it belong to the five girls?
Why did you hear the Queen Mother say this, as if they were begging for this one?
Jiang pursed his lips slightly, and then asked Chi Zhongli again, "How is Xianggong's going on there?" Has King Huijun ever been embarrassed with you? β
"Not really." Ji Zhongli said bluntly.
Not really.
Let's not say that King Huijun is a nobleman, there is no need to embarrass him as a concubine of the Hou Mansion, just say that King Huijun is a person, and he can't do anything to "oppress" them.
King Huijun is not only the right-hand man of Emperor Hongyuan, a confidant, but also has a good reputation among the literati.
This man is not a luster for power. If it weren't for Emperor Hongyuan, King Huijun would have thrown off his sleeves and traveled to the mountains and rivers.
Because both of them were literati, Chi Zhongli and King Huijun hit it off at first sight, and there was a faint feeling of hating each other.
Even, the two began to talk about poetry, books, ancient books, mountains and rivers from noon, and chatted until they were happy, and they didn't even eat lunch.
Later, he talked about poetry, painting and chess, so he really painted in the palace, and then played two games of chess.
If it weren't for the end, it would not be too early to see the sky, he asked hesitantly, about today's entry into the palace, I am afraid that King Huijun will forget about it.
However, remembering the last sentence that King Huijun reminded him intentionally or unintentionally, Chi Zhongli hesitated for a moment, and then said to the Jiang family again: "What King Huijun means is that no matter what the Queen Mother has in the future, let us come down." β
In fact, at this point, there is the queen mother in the palace who is in charge of Mu Changyao's family affairs, and there is really nothing they can meddle in.
Regardless of whether they agree or disagree, the family affairs of the county lord of Pingyang and Mu Changyao can only go according to the wishes of the queen mother, and there will be no change in the result because of their "joy and anger".
Similarly, if they let the Queen Mother get her way, maybe the Queen Mother will be happy, and they will take special care of Xia Chi Linglong and give her a county lord.
If you don't agree, I'm afraid that when the time comes, the queen mother will send a nurturing grandmother to the past, and Chi Linglong will not know how hard to suffer in the future.
Where is this discussion, this is simply a reminder to them to know the current affairs and know how to advance and retreat.
The husband and wife were silent at the same time, and then Jiang asked without giving up, "The eldest brother came to the letter yesterday, did he really not say anything else?" β
Ji Zhongli smiled speechlessly, and kissed her slightly flushed cheek in Jiang's anger.
Then he said, "You have read the letter seven or eight times, but you have read it seven or eight times?" β
Chi Zhongli went to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong in Yizhou to write a letter, and quickly walked back and forth, and only received a reply last night.
However, the reply they had been waiting for for 20 days only contained four wordsβ"Act cheaply."
This is really good, so that Chi Zhongli and the Jiang family don't know what to do for a while.
It's my father, I shouldn't have spoken in this tone!
The two of them stopped talking again, and after a long time, Jiang said again: "The Queen Mother said that there is a lantern festival in the Lantern Festival Palace, and this time foreign women will be invited to participate, and the Queen Mother asked the concubine to bring Sister Xuan over to join in the fun, and by the way, the five girls were also brought to ......."
"Must go?"
Jiang nodded, "The Queen Mother ordered." βR1152
