Chapter 0289: Buddha Incense Pavilion Golden Ash
As soon as these words came out, Cai He's face changed, and he said with a stunned expression: "What about Cai Ren?" Call me in this unassuming thing. ”
The little servant waiting outside the door crawled in and knelt down and said, "The master is studying in the study, and the slave will call him in." ”
Cai He scolded: "Bullshit! Reading, he must be able to read, and the cats and dogs at home will be literate. ”
The little guy didn't dare to answer, got up, went out upside down, and went out to find Cai Ren with a smoke. Gege didn't know if he really didn't know or was pretending, he just looked at it coldly and slowly sipped his tea.
After a while, Cai Ren entered the door and knelt on the ground to greet Cai He. Cai He slapped his head and scolded: "You tell me the truth, but you caught Qinggege's guards?" ”
Cai Ren knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to tell the truth: "The child is guilty, please forgive Daddy and Qing Gege!" ”
Cai He was so angry that his face turned pale, and Gege just ignored him.
Cai Ren prostrate in front of Cai He, hugged Cai He's leg with both hands and complained: "The child knows that he is wrong, so let the person out and ask his father for forgiveness!" ”
Cai He kicked him away and said angrily: "What's the use of begging me at this time?" Why don't you go and beg Qing Gege! ”
Cai Ren only turned in one direction, faced Gege, and said: "Cai Ren apologizes to Qing Gege and asks Qing Gege for forgiveness!" ”
Gege didn't pay attention to him, and only said lightly to Cai He: "Father-in-law doesn't need to be angry, Ruoqing just needs someone to let him out." We have known each other for a few years, and if it is sunny, I will have to take care of my father-in-law. ”
Cai He didn't dare to do so. The little guy outside the door didn't wait for a speech, and ran out early to release the people.
After a while, Drunken Spring was led over by the little guy to see Gege. Gege saw that Zui Chun was unscathed. got up to say goodbye to Cai He and led Zuichun back home.
In the evening of the same day, Jinxiulan held a grand banquet. One came to wash the dust for Gege, and the other came to celebrate the drunken spring from Cai's mansion. As long as there are some people in the house, even the subordinates who can't serve the table also have a share. At night, it only dispersed until the third watch.
Early the next morning, Gege received a decree from the palace, saying that the Queen Mother held a family banquet in Changchun Garden, and specially invited Gege to make an appointment in the evening. Speaking of the Empress Dowager Chongqing, Gege didn't see many faces. I just met once when the emperor gave him Qing Gege, and then I celebrated the festival every year, because the queen mother liked to eat fast and read Buddha. Therefore, it is rare to meet with the palace people. Today, he was going to hold a family banquet in Changchun Garden, and he specially invited Gege over, which really surprised Gege.
Although I was surprised, I still had to obey the order. The golden wisp is a good student, and she is dressed up well. At the beginning of the unitary time, I went to the Buddha Fragrance Pavilion of Changchun Garden on time. The Buddha Xiang Pavilion is on the south side of Changchun Garden. It was originally a place where Buddhist scriptures were enshrined. Usually, when the Queen Mother needs to worship the Buddha, she will also come here to sit for a while, read the scriptures, and listen to the Buddha's music.
At this time, in the large empty space under the stage of the Buddha Xiang Pavilion, three tables of banquets were placed. The upper table is the position of the queen mother and the emperor, and the second table is the position of the noble concubine and the favored concubine of the inner palace. At the last table, the chairman sat Gege, and some royal relatives and nobles accompanied him.
Arrived at the Buddha Incense Pavilion. The queen mother, the emperor and the queen have not yet arrived, and Gege and a few familiar concubines have exchanged a few words. It's nothing more than parents who are short and say irrelevant things.
I don't know who suddenly shouted: "The concubine asks the queen mother for peace!" The concubine asks the emperor for peace! The concubine said hello to the queen! ”
Gege hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, he saw the Queen Mother Chongqing sitting in a dignified manner in Luan's car, and on both sides of her were the emperor and the queen. With this shout, Wu pressed and knelt on the ground, all of them were women with hairpin rings and jade hair.
With a graceful and just right smile on her face, the Queen Mother bowed her head slightly, spit out her teeth, and said, "Get up!" ”
The queen mother, the emperor, and the queen sat down, and then everyone began to sit down according to the quality. The Queen Mother said: "Today is the day of Guanyin's enlightenment, and the mourning family wants to take advantage of this day for everyone to get together together." Therefore, the mourners made their own decisions, and called you all here, whether you wanted to or not. ”
How dare everyone say a word, blindly welcoming the Queen Mother. Gege sat at the third table, smiling silently. Many times, on occasions like this, if you can talk less, you will talk less, and if you talk too much, you will only be hated by others, and there will be endless troubles.
Suddenly, Qianlong stared at Gege and said, "Ruoqing, how are you resting when you go home?" ”
Hearing the emperor ask about himself at once, Gege was a little surprised, everyone's eyes looked over, Gege felt a little red, and replied softly: "Thank you for your greetings, Ruoqing came back and rested well." ”
The Queen Mother looked at her with a smile and said, "The mourning family heard from the emperor that you did a good job in Sichuan, and you actually defeated Sha Luoben." It is said that Ortai is mighty, and the mourning family never imagined that he would be so useless. The mourning family doesn't say whether it's right or wrong, that's something the emperor has to weigh. In front of me, I said that you are shrewd and strong, no worse than the eight kings of the year. Seeing you, the mourning family remembered Uncle Bawang again. After that, he wiped his tears with a silk.
provoked Gege to be emotional, and he had to accompany a few tears.
For a while, there was some silence in the room, and everyone didn't know how to speak. At this moment, I don't know whose relatives suddenly recklessly said: "The concubine thought that this garden should be repaired, and the queen mother saw that the paint and ash on the top of the pavilion were declining, and the concubine fell off." ”
Following the voice, it was a woman about thirty years old, with a flowery appearance, but a layer of earthy yellow ash fell on the bun on her head.
The queen chuckled and said, "Jiaxiu, it can be seen that the position you are sitting in is too good, otherwise the golden color on the Bodhisattva Niangniang's body would have fallen on your head." ”
Qianlong looked at Jiaxiu's face and changed. Gege saw that the woman named Jiaxiu at the first table turned out to be the queen's brother-in-law, Fu Heng's concubine Fujin. Because Jiaxiu is a first-class beauty among the Manchurians, her husband Fu Heng is very valued by Qianlong in the court, and her sister is the most precious queen today, who dares to despise her? I'm afraid that only her identity dares to answer rashly.
Jia Xiuwan smiled, got up and withdrew, and said that he would go to the side hall to change his clothes and makeup before returning to the table.
Qianlong watched her leave, and said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "Speaking of this garden, Erchen has long wanted to rebuild it, but he is busy with government affairs, and Erchen has forgotten it." ”
The Queen Mother groaned and said: "The Internal Affairs Office doesn't have much money, what do you do with it?" ”
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Gege's heart moved, knowing that this opportunity could not be obtained again, and he hurriedly said: "Filial piety is the first thing in the world, and the emperor rests the courtyard to honor the queen mother. ”
These words were talking about the Queen Mother's heart, and the Queen Mother was happy, looked at Gege with appreciation and said: "You are right, since this is the case, let it be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Is the head of the Internal Affairs Office Cai He? ”
The emperor replied: "Exactly, he is an old man, and he is quite honest, and his sons are still very relieved of him." ”
The Queen Mother groaned and said: "Okay, as long as he doesn't deduct things, take time out of them, and embezzle money." ”
Seeing that the matter had been done, a smile appeared on the corner of Gege's mouth. She knew that Cai He should thank her, and she gave Cai He such a good opportunity to make a big profit from it, but he didn't know that Gege was quietly pushing him into the abyss. (To be continued......)
