Chapter Twenty-Six: Beating People in the Street
Qin Yu smiled and ordered people to take a seat.
Zheng Yi, Zheng Cheng, and Zheng Xiaochun sat down one by one.
Qin Yu, like Xie Fanghua, asked why the three of the Zheng family in Xingyang came so quickly, and Zheng Gong answered them one by one as if he had answered Xie Fanghua.
Qin Yu smiled and nodded.
After greeting for a while, it was already noon, and Princess Ying instructed Xishun and Chunlan to arrange for someone to bring the prepared meal to the water pavilion.
Qin Yu beckoned, and asked Yan Ting, Li Muqing, Cheng Ming and others to sit forward and sit down together.
Zheng Yi saw that Qin Yu did not have the slightest emperor's shelf, and talked with the little marquis of the Yongkang Marquis Mansion, Li Gongzi of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and others, with a gentle smile, really like the rumors, he was a gentle and peaceful person, no different from when he was the fourth prince and the prince. The heart of the carryover gradually relaxed half from the caution it had been at the beginning.
During the banquet, Zheng Yi asked, "Several sons are here, why don't you see the little prince Zheng?" ”
Qin Yu glanced at Xie Fanghua, who was at the female banquet, and said in a somewhat emotional tone, "Cangwu Mountain is said to have a five-hundred-year-old lover flower about to bloom. He went to Cangwu Mountain to pick his lover's flowers. ”
Zheng Yi was stunned.
Zheng Cheng wondered, "What is a lover flower?" ”
"It is said that this flower blooms on the steep cliff at the top of Cangwu Mountain, and the men and women who like it eat it together, and they will never abandon it in this life, and they will love the white head to grow old." Qin Yu said, "After he heard about it, he ignored the matter and ran to pick it up." ”
Zheng Cheng said, "I have never heard of such a flower in the world. ”
"The world is so big, there are no wonders." Qin Yu said.
Zheng Yi thought for a while and said, "I vaguely heard that there is such a flower, and I always thought it was a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true." The little prince of Zheng actually ran to the top of Cangwu Mountain, there should be thousands of miles away from the capital, right? ”
"Isn't it? Cangwu Mountain is seven days away from the capital. Yan Ting snorted, "I originally wanted to follow, but he was afraid that I would rob his lover of the flower, so he wouldn't let me go." ”
"The little prince Zheng is a man of temperament." Zheng Yi said.
Qin Yu snorted lightly, "Don't do your job." ”
Zheng Yi glanced at Qin Yu, thought of something, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Isn't that stinky boy not doing his job? Hua girl can't run again, what kind of lover flowers to pick, such a high Cangwu Mountain, such a high cliff, it is not in vain that people are worried about death. Prince Ying took over, "But he is used to being willful, when the first emperor, the first queen mother, and the first emperor were alive, he was arrogant and unscrupulous, willful, and did whatever he wanted, he was used to it, and now he wants to give him a straight face, but he can't be straight." ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and said, "Why didn't Sister-in-law Wang say that you are also used to him?" It's all pushed to the ancestors. ”
Prince Ying glanced at the Queen Mother, "I regret it now, and I'm worried about him every day." ”
"Since he went to Cangwu Mountain to pick flowers, he has the ability to pick flowers. I don't think you have to worry about him, he can't afford to have an accident. There is still a Chinese girl at home, he is not stupid. The Queen Mother smiled.
Princess Ying also smiled when she heard this, "That's right." The words fell, and he said, "Don't just talk about these gossips, but you can't forget the important matter of Zheng Gong and the three of them coming to Beijing." ”
The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, and said with a smile to the eldest princess on the side, "I think Zheng Gongzi's character and appearance are extremely outstanding, and this family business you fancy is really good." ”
The eldest princess nodded with a smile, extremely satisfied with Zheng Xiaochun, and saw that Jin Yan didn't have any disgust, so she smiled and said, "Gong Zheng and the eldest lord and son have also seen Yan'er, I don't know what to do?" After a pause, he added, "Yan'er, this child has also been spoiled by me since he was a child. ”
Zheng Yi stroked his beard and laughed, "The old man thinks that the county lord of Jinyan is very good. Although my Xingyang Zheng clan has big rules and strict etiquette, I can treat the princess leniently. ”
Zheng Cheng also bowed his head and said with a smile, "The county lord of Jinyan is the daughter of the eldest princess, and the eldest princess's reputation has been admired for many years, and the county lord of Jinyan is naturally not bad." After a pause, he glanced at Zheng Xiaochun and said, "It's that the dog is a little wooden by nature and is not good at talking, so I'm afraid that I have wronged the county lord." ”
Zheng Xiaochun's face turned red again.
The eldest princess was extremely happy when she heard Zheng Cheng praise her, and shook her head with a smile, "I think Zheng Gongzi's character is excellent, I don't like such exaggerated people." As long as you can treat Yan'er well, what is there if you are not good at talking? ”
"It's a blessing for the dog to be valued by the eldest princess." Zheng Cheng hurriedly said.
Zheng Yi smiled and turned his head to look at Qin Yu who was above him, and bowed his hand to him, "Your Majesty, the old man has a reluctant request." ”
"Zheng Gong, please speak." Qin Yu smiled and nodded.
Zheng Yi said, "We are very fond of the Jinyan County Lord, and the eldest princess and the Jinyan County Lord seem to have no opinion on the descendants of Xiaochun. Why don't you take advantage of this emperor's decree to give marriage. Everyone was happy. ”
Qin Yu smiled gently, "Both parties like it, and it is naturally simple for me to make a holy decree for marriage." After the words fell, he changed his voice and said, "But now is the period of filial piety of the emperor, after all, cousin Jin Yan is also a relative of the emperor, the first emperor only has this niece, and she has been favored since she was a child, and she will not be able to get married until the filial piety period expires." ”
Zheng Yi immediately said, "This is natural. Filial piety is greater than the sky, not to mention the death of the first emperor, it is the national filial piety, and it must be obeyed. Xiaochun and the lord of Jinyan made a marriage contract first, and it was not too late to get married next year. They are all still young, and they have been on the board for a year or two, so they are naturally fine. ”
Qin Yu looked at the eldest princess and Jin Yan.
The eldest princess smiled and nodded.
Jin Yan had no opinion and nodded her head.
Qin Yu said with a smile, "Since this is the case, I will make an order today, I look at Zheng Gongzi's character and behavior are also good, he is superior, and the lintels of the two families are also comparable, and they are not insulting to each other." Cousin Jin Yan was able to entrust it to Zheng Gongzi, and Zheng Gongzi treated him well, and I was also pleased. ”
Zheng Xiaochun immediately stood up, arched his hand, and looked at Jin Yan with a red face, "If the county lord doesn't dislike it, he will definitely treat the county lord well and treat him peacefully." ”
Jin Yan's face also turned red appropriately and nodded.
Seeing this, Qin Yu was silent for a moment, and instructed Xiao Quanzi to go to the draft official to draft the decree.
After a while, Qin Yu put pen to paper and gave a marriage decree to Zheng Xiaochun and Jin Yan on the spot.
After the marriage decree, the water pavilion suddenly became lively.
A group of young men congratulated Zheng Xiaochun, and Yan Ting and Li Muqing pulled him to drink. A group of women took Jin Yan away and congratulated her.
Yan Lan smiled and stabbed Jin Yan, "Zheng Xiao's innocence is good, you see, he and his brother stay together, although he is not good at talking, but his demeanor does not lose his style, and he is easy to get along with when he looks at it." And he hasn't glanced at us all the time, so it can be seen that he is a real heart. The Mune people have the benefits of the Mune people, but they are not necessarily lustful. ”
Jin Yan coughed and almost choked.
Xie Fanghua glanced over there amusefully and said, "Although he is not good at talking and has good conduct, Zheng Gongzi's alcohol consumption is really good." The words fell, joking Jin Yan, "You should also practice your drinking, you got drunk when you spent candle night in the cave room, and you lost the battle." ”
"You're really itchy today." Jin Yan put down the wine cup, raised her hand and hit Xie Fanghua, and said angrily, "When you spend candles in the cave room, don't think that we don't know, we didn't get up at three poles in the day." Are you embarrassed to laugh at me? ”
Xie Fanghua coughed violently, and his face turned red, "Be careful to be heard, the people of the Zheng family in Xingyang think that you Meng Lang immediately quit the marriage." ”
Jin Yan snorted and pinched Xie Fanghua hard.
Xie Fanghua smiled and grabbed her, and said to everyone, "I think we've eaten about the same, how about going to my Luomei Residence to sit down?" I was tired for a long time in the morning, so everyone went to my place to rest. ”
"Cousin Luo Mei Juzheng, but he never lets outsiders in." Jin Yan said, "Are you sure?" ”
"Naturally, I'm sure he's not here, I'm in charge." Xie Fanghua said with a stiff face.
"Okay, let's go." Jin Yan immediately greeted everyone.
At this time, Mrs. Youxiang came over and said to Li Rubi, "Bi'er, my mother is tired, let's go home, it's not too early." ”
Li Rubi smiled and said, "Mother, we haven't finished here yet, are you lacking ladies there?" ”
Mrs. Right Xiang shook her head, "It's because my mother is a little tired." ”
Li Rubi thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll go back with you." After the words fell, she said to Xie Fanghua, Jin Yan and others, "You go on playing, my mother is tired, I will accompany my mother back home." ”
"Since Madame is tired, then you have to accompany you back, and come back to the house to play another day." Xie Fanghua said with a smile.
Li Rubi nodded.
Xie Fanghua was about to leave the house to send Mrs. Youxiang and Li Rubi, Lu Xueying walked over and said with a smile, "Brother and sister, you take them to Luomeiju, and I will send Mrs. and Miss Li." ”
Xie Fanghua bowed.
Lu Xueying sent the two out of the house.
The two walked away, Yan Lan grabbed Xie Fanghua and whispered, "Li Rubi doesn't look down on Zheng Xiaochun, and now I'm afraid it's time to regret it." This son of the Zheng family in Xingyang is really good, and he was picked up by Jin Yan. Seeing him blushing, I wanted to tease him, but unfortunately, I didn't dare to go, for fear that the eldest princess would think that I was going to rob my son-in-law and kill me with a knife eye. ”
Jin Yan was so angry that she slapped Yan Lan, "Be careful that my mother hears it, and I'll kill you with a knife eye now." ”
Yan Lan playfully stuck out her tongue at Jin Yan, then turned her head and whispered to Xie Fanghua, "Do you think Li Rubi feels weird now?" ”
Xie Fanghua looked at her, "What kind of strange method?" ”
Yan Lan shook her head, "I can't say it, I just think that she suddenly stopped making trouble this time, and now after leaving the house, she is like a person who has nothing to do, which is very strange." How can there be a fuss for a long time, but now there is no movement at all, it is time to play, to laugh. Don't you think it's weird? ”
Xie Fanghua smiled, "Maybe she completely let go and understood it." ”
Yan Lan scratched her head, "I don't want to think badly of people, I hope." ”
Xie Fanghua stopped talking.
The group talked and laughed and went to Luomeiju.
Yuzhuo and Lin Qi had already gotten the news in Luomeiju, and Shi Lan, Shi Wan and others had set up tables, chairs, tea, and fruit bowls in the courtyard.
After the group came in, Bai Qing and Zi Ye, two small things, ran out "whoosh" and lay across the courtyard, grinning and screaming at the group, very vicious.
The timid Zheng Yewei and Wang Ziming were so frightened that they almost screamed.
Since the white fox and the sable came to Luomeiju, they have good food, good drink, and good accommodation, even when Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua are not in the mansion, Lin Qi will not miss the three meals a day for the two of them, and they have grown up with two little things, and the two little things that were originally cute and harmless are still very deterrent when they show their teeth.
"Do they welcome us?" Jin Yan asked.
"Just like their owners." Yan Lan pursed her lips and smiled, "It seems that you are not welcome, but when I came yesterday, you didn't treat me like this." ”
"You're likable, aren't you?" Jin Yan glanced at Yan Lan.
Xie Fanghua was amused and waved his hand at the two small things, "These are the guests I brought." ”
Hearing this, the two little things muttered, put away the murderous look, ran to Xie Fanghua's feet, and dragged her skirt and rubbed it.
Xie Fanghua bent down and touched them with his hand, they shook their fur comfortably, and walked away obediently.
"Good psychic." Cheng Yuping said in surprise.
Xie Fanghua smiled and invited everyone in.
The group sat down, you and I said a word, and chatted while drinking tea.
The plum blossom is full of fragrance, the plum blossom is blown up by the wind, fluttering and falling, far away from the hustle and bustle in front, very warm and quiet.
"Luomeiju is really good, Cousin Zheng will really enjoy it, it's the first time I've come to Luomeiju." Jin Yan said with emotion, "In the past, Cousin Zheng never liked women to come to his yard. Neither the maid nor the maidservant. ”
"Weird temper." Yan Lan touched Xie Fanghua and whispered, "I vaguely heard that my brother wants to marry your maidservant?" Is there such a thing? ”
Xie Fanghua was stunned, smiled, and nodded.
Yan Lan immediately asked, "Which maid is it?" ”
Xie Fanghua glanced around and said, "It's Pinzhu." ”
"Pinzhu ......" Yan Lan thought for a while, and suddenly, "Oh, I know, it's the very imposing one." ”
Xie Fanghua smiled and nodded.
"Not to mention, my brother's vision is really good." Yan Lan said.
Xie Fanghua didn't speak.
Yan Lan said again, "Did she not agree?" Otherwise, my brother wouldn't look a little depressed today. ”
Xie Fanghua nodded.
Yan Lan wondered, "Why didn't she promise my brother?" What's wrong with my brother? ”
Xie Fanghua thought about it and told Pinzhu what he liked Xie Mohan.
Yan Lan suddenly said, "No wonder." When the words fell, she showed a sad face, "Compared to your brother, my brother does look a little unreliable. After the words fell, he said, "But after all, it is the same surname and one Xie, your brother is the heir of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, Xie Houye, you can't marry her, what do you think of the Xie clan?" Although the Xie clan is divided, this is impossible, right? Besides, does your brother like her? ”
Xie Fanghua said, "I don't know, my brother is not in Beijing. ”
"I'll go back today and quietly ask my mother what she means, and if my mother agrees, we'll help my brother." Yan Lan whispered, "I don't want my brother to take a fancy to one or two and not be able to marry." Lose confidence in yourself. ”
Xie Fanghua smiled, "Little Marquis Yan can see it, don't be too forceful, let it be." ”
Yan Lan stretched out her hand and nodded her eyebrows, "Worry about your brother, he is also a big boss, now at the border, our battle with the Northern Qi Dynasty, in a few years, is the fight over?" How can your brother marry a daughter-in-law? ”
Xie Fanghua frowned, "Yes." ”
Yan Lan saw that the success made her worried, and she was relaxed and happy, "Look, you also have to worry about your brother, can you still go with the flow?" ”
Xie Fanghua was speechless and amused at her.
The crowd sat and chatted for about half an hour.
At this time, the waiter came to Xie Fanghua's side and lowered his voice to say, "Miss, just now Mrs. Ming came to say that there are more than three people from the Zheng family in Xingyang, and there is also a second son. ”
"Huh?" Xie Fanghua tilted his head.
The waiter nodded, "This second son is the younger brother of the eldest prince Zheng Xiaochun, he is usually idle, likes all kinds of fun, it is said that he has no ambitions in his life, no other strengths, and it is said that he is also used to his mother, when the eldest lady gave birth to him, the heart of the mother and son grew in one place, and the lady gave up her life for him and saved him." Before he died, he asked the eldest lord and the eldest prince to treat him well and not to bully him. Therefore, the eldest lord and the eldest prince loved him very much, and gave him whatever he wanted, so that he was useless. ”
Xie Fanghua thought for a while, "Since he is also here, why did no one tell the emperor just now?" ”
The waiter said, "He was just one step later in the capital, and he is not an outstanding descendant of the Xingyang Zheng clan, who will notice him?" Even if you notice him, you won't take it seriously. ”
"What else did Aunt Six say?" Xie Fanghua asked.
The waiter shook his head, "Mrs. Ming only said to tell the young lady, and didn't say anything, after all, she is sensitive to the Xingyang Zheng family now, even if this second son has a bad reputation, he is also a member of the Xingyang Zheng family." There is no room for error. ”
"Well, you go and talk back and tell the sixth aunt, I know." Xie Fanghua lowered his voice and said, "The emperor hasn't left yet, has he?" ”
"Nope." The waiter shook his head.
"You go tell Koizumi too." Xie Fanghua commanded.
The waiter nodded and went.
Not long after the waiter left, the former convenience was dismissed, and someone came to tell the ladies that they were going back to the house, and asked the ladies if they were going back to the house together.
I've been tired of playing for most of the day, and naturally I'm tired, and the ladies don't stay anymore, so they get up and go out of Luomeiju.
Xie Fanghua sent the group out of Luomei Ju, and originally planned to send them to the gate of the mansion.
The waiter came over and whispered, "Miss, after the second son entered the city, he rode the horse in the street and collided with the carriage of the right minister's mansion returning home, and the right minister's wife picked up the curtain and wanted to ask, but he actually whipped him over and said, 'Good dogs don't stand in the way', Miss Li was injured half of her face in order to protect the right minister's wife, and she broke her face, and ordered someone to take him down, saying that he would be handed over to the prime minister." ”
Xie Fanghua was stunned, "Didn't Mrs. Right Prime Minister and Li Rubi leave a long time ago?" ”
The waiter said, "On the way, Mrs. Youxiang went to buy something, and after a delay, it was better to catch up with the second son to enter Beijing." ”
