Chapter 98 The minister is strong and the lord is weak
"Miss, it's not early, the slave maid heard that Mrs. Liu has asked Mother Liu to pick someone in the house, and when the training is done, she will be placed in the eldest lady's courtyard. In more than a month, the young lady will be fourteen, and she will be married in two or three years. When the time comes, a few more people who know the roots will accompany her, and the young lady will be relieved. Ziwei said.
The high iris was so ashamed that even the roots of her ears turned red, her eyebrows were lowered and twisted for a long time, and Fang Xuan said: "That girl has only signed for five years, and in another year, she will leave the house!" ”
Lamei smiled and said, "Although the days outside are free, they are difficult in the end. The maid who left the house has no roots, no relatives and no relatives, how can she be comfortable by the side of the young lady? Lin Xi is a clever person, as long as the young lady treats her well, she will be reluctant to go out at that time. ”
……
Carrying a tael of broken silver in his arms, humming a little song, Lin Xi, who was relaxed, did not expect that he would be remembered. She was smug at her intelligence. It is obviously rare to be a maid to be able to achieve a realm like her.
Don't underestimate this score, if it sounds good, it's a gift, and if it doesn't sound good, it's a private acceptance. The family is big, the etiquette is restricted, and the virtue of women is not a joke, it is about innocence in life. In case it is pinched by someone with a heart, the young master can pat his ass and leave, and the third young lady will be miserable.
Now that she is so stirred up, no matter how many people want to find a bone in the egg, they can't find the slightest mistake between these two people.
Lin Xi looked up at the sky, raised his eyebrows proudly, Young Master Xindao, Third Miss, you don't have to be too grateful to me, who made me have a name called Lei Feng.
……
Last night, a northwest wind blew the capital directly into the coldest day of the year. For some reason, this year's winter is much colder than before. The streets and alleys are full of depression, which is the hottest Wanhualou in business, and the number of people looking for pleasure is also less than usual.
As a result, the marriage between the prince and Gao Cui has become the hottest topic of discussion in this cold season.
The crown prince was fifteen years old. He is the only successor to the throne of Xin. At this time, it seems that the old emperor intends to take advantage of the current wind and rain to let the prince take over government affairs when the country is peaceful and the country is safe, and he will entrust the country to Sheji in the future.
As for the marriage of the two Gao Cui, it is not unusual. is the so-called male marriage. When a woman gets married, both mansions are high-ranking families, their family backgrounds are comparable, and they are both talented and beautiful women, so they naturally have to be close to each other.
The people of Pingtou only care about food and clothing. For these news, I have always just listened to it, discussed it, and tried to make it lively, but after that, who will take it to heart. However, when this kind of news falls in the ears of the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Xin Kingdom, it is another signal.
On the evening of that day, Zhu Jing, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, called several sons to his side.
After a few people took Gaofu's post and discussed it for a long time, Zhu Jing stroked his beard and sighed: "Your sister's matter." Don't worry about it anymore, I'm afraid it's nothing to do with her. Let people back up a thick gift and send it to Gaofu! ”
The eldest son, Zhu Xunliang, took a sip of hot tea. nodded and agreed: "Even the boss of the Cui family has entered Beijing, what else do you want?" ”
The second son, Zhu Xunyan, said: "Didn't you say that the two sent by the Cui family couldn't be seen by Gao Xiang?" ”
Zhu Xunliang sneered: "If you don't like it again, it's also a girl from the Cui family." Looking at the women of the Xin Kingdom, except for the royal princesses, who can be more expensive than the Cui family. This time, Boss Cui entered Beijing. The banquet of the senior brother of the same sect has not been interrupted for a day. They are all characters with heads and faces in the capital. How could Gao Xiang move a stone to shoot himself in the foot! ”
The third son, Zhu Xunfang, sighed: "Now the emperor has ordered the crown prince to supervise the country, and he will be assisted by the highest. In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, Gao Xiang will be the biggest hero, and the Gao family's wealth will only have to go to the next level. If the girl can fight for the right position, our house can also rise, and now this wealth can be seen, but it can't be eaten, it's really tickling. ”
"That is, if the sister is really corrected, the official positions of my father and a few of us, why don't you worry about rising a little higher."
"Isn't that what you say!"
Zhu Liang saw that the three sons said a word to me, and he also felt sorry in his heart, but the strength of the Cui family is not comparable to the Zhu family, and Zhu Liang is no longer able to help his daughter, and it is impossible to cross the Cui family.
Now that Cui Gao's two families are married, the relationship is solid, and at this time, the Zhu family wants to intervene, but I am afraid that it will be ......
Zhu Liang's heart was sullen, and he said unhappily: "Let people prepare some wine and food, warm a few pots of good wine, and let's have two glasses of father and son!" ”
……
Naturally, it will not be the Zhu family who borrows wine to kill their sorrows, although He Chenggang, the head of the He family, has long known that his sister-in-law has done such stupid things and was kicked out, but when he heard that the Gao and Cui families were married, he still didn't feel good in his heart.
Fugui is really like a girl in Wanhualou, playing and playing, and she is addicted to playing. He Chenggang has just walked from a wealthy and inexpensive merchant to his current position step by step, relying on his sister's pillow. He knew very well how important the pillow wind was to the promotion of a six-grade petty official like him.
I thought that my sister would have a son and a daughter, and rely on Gao Xiang's favor, and he would be able to get things done if he worked hard outside, but he didn't know that since that time when he was drunk and talked to Gao Xiang, he wanted to make an appointment with Gao Xiang several times, but he was politely pushed away by Gao Xiang's two personal servants, so that no matter how much silver people have, they don't blink their eyes.
Now that the prince is in charge of the country, he is assisted by the highest, under one person, above ten thousand people, this wealth, this power, it is really eye-catching!
How good it would be if your own sister could really succeed, not to mention anything else, the brother-in-law of the dignified Prime Minister of the country, how majestic it is!
He Chenggang drank a pot of wine, thinking that he had been in the yamen all day long to see the face of his boss, and the life was aggrieved, he couldn't help but be angry, and shouted: "Come on, pour wine!" ”
……
In the dormitory of Zhengyang Palace, Queen Li Yan took the ginseng soup handed over by Chunyang, tasted a few sips, and frowned: "If you change to something else, it smells like ginseng, it really smells bad!" ”
Chunyang knew that she was worried about the emperor's illness in the past few days, and Niangniang had no intention of eating, so she hurriedly persuaded: "Niangniang, Niangniang has been guarding the emperor for the past few days, day and night, her face is much more ugly, if you don't take care of it, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on." This ginseng soup was boiled in the imperial dining room with a small fire for half a day, and it is the most supportive, but the mother is not on the side, it is for the emperor, and he should drink a few more sips. ”
Empress Li was just about to put down the ginseng soup, but she let out a long sigh when she heard the words, and forcibly drank a few more sips, and finally pushed it aside.
"The prince sent it over there?"
Chunyang approached and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Niangniang, the one in the womb has already sent someone to send it over." ”
"How can I send it over? This kid is the most arrogant person, and no one is watching him eat, so he doesn't bother to move. Now that my studies are heavy and I have a heavy burden on my body, I can't be sloppy at all. Empress Li's eyes were full of distress.
"Although Niangniang can rest assured, the people around the prince now are all personally selected and sent over by Father-in-law Zhang, and they are the most eye-catching, and they will be able to wait for the prince properly."
As soon as Chunyang said this, Queen Li remembered the dozens of palace people who were killed by her a few days ago, and her eyes couldn't help but darken.
"This kid, now when he looks at Bengong, his eyes are not as transparent as before, I'm afraid that he still hates Bengong in his heart! It's my fault, too, that I was a little more ruthless. ”
Queen Li wore a red sprinkled gold king color phoenix with long sleeves, and wore a phoenix hairpin on her head, looking graceful and luxurious, with a touch of melancholy lingering on her face.
Chunyang sighed lightly and said: "This time the mother regretted it, the slave persuaded and stopped, but the mother ......"
Dozens of fresh lives, but because of an negligence, he was sentenced to death without seeing the prince, and Chunyang, who is also a subordinate, can't help but feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
"What do you know?"
Empress Li's face was solemn, and her phoenix eyebrows were raised high.
"The palace and the emperor are forty years old, only to get such a baby, this child has been spoiled since he was a child, he wants the wind to be windy, he wants to rain and rain, and there are more and more rules in his eyes, and he even dares to do such a thing as selfishness out of the palace. If you continue to indulge, you are afraid that it will cause great disaster. Rather than regret it in the future, it is better to hold on to it now and not treat him harshly, how can he know the depth? ”
Chunyang was not afraid, squatted lightly at the queen's feet, and said with a smile while beating her legs: "Niangniang wants to discipline the prince, and the slave doesn't dare to stop it." There is a way that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and the mother should also slow down. is obviously a soft-hearted person, but he has to do that ruthless thing, and then he pulls his heart, why bother? ”
A soft-hearted sentence made Empress Li's tense face couldn't help but smile, and she feigned anger: "Let me say one sentence, you have ten sentences waiting for me behind." How can I not know the truth that haste is not enough? God refuses to give time. Chunyang, does anyone know the difficulties in my heart. ”
Chunyang paused and sighed: "Why don't slaves and maids know? It's just that no matter how hard it is, you have to take your time. The prince is young in the end. ”
"Young?"
Li Yan sneered lightly: "When this palace was fifteen years old, I had already followed the Marquis of Xiaoyao to the capital to ask for a living!" By the way, is there any news from Xiaoyaohou? ”
"Back to the queen, there is no news yet."
Empress Li was slightly silent, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared: "The younger generations of Gao and Cui are married, once the emperor ...... This court has become the court of the Gao family and the Cui family, the palace and the prince, one is a female streamer, and the other is not as weak as the crown, and it is inevitable that the future will be controlled by others! ”
At these words, Chunyang didn't dare to go down no matter what, and there was silence in the luxurious and spacious dormitory for a while.
Queen Li was half dumbfounded, and said to herself: "Cui and Gao, there must always be a ......"
Chunyang's hand trembled slightly.
……
In the backyard of the drunken immortal residence, it is as warm as a spring day.
On the edge of the kang, Lin Nan and Lin Bei's senior sisters and brothers sat opposite each other, lying next to Lin Bei with their bellies on their backs, with a few plates of side dishes on the small table, and two empty wine jugs thrown crookedly in the corner.
Lin Bei stroked Dongdong's head and persuaded softly: "Senior sister, drink less and go to bed early!" ”
"What do you sleep on? Did you hear what I said? Jiang and Cui are about to get married, and Gao Xiang, the old pervert, is going to marry his daughter. Lin Nantuo glanced at him, and his lips were red and delicate from the wine.
"What does it have to do with you?" Lin Bei said lightly. (To be continued) R580
