Chapter 197: Ups and Downs (3)
Hurry up with full attendance, the content is old, and it will be revised later, so forgive me.
Let's get up tomorrow and watch, I'm sorry...... Zhen Xuan frowned.
There was only one handlebar on the carriage of the Xia family, which looked like it was about fifty years old, and then there was no retinue on the side of the car, and I didn't know if there was anyone in the car.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind him, with a bit of urgency. When they heard the voice, all three sisters turned their heads and saw that a young man had come out of the back of the temple like them.
It was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with a face like a crown of jade, but he knew by looking at his clothes that he was from a wealthy background.
They all noticed each other, and the young man paused, his face flashed with astonishment, and then he nodded at them, and without waiting for them to return the salute, he hurried into the carriage of the Xia family.
The carriage did not stop, and the handlebar gently urged the horse and left.
Zhen Xuan followed Zhen Lin and Zhen Qi into the car.
Zhenqi talked about the boy just now, and said with a smile: "How can there be a son who comes out of the back door, isn't it like us, the pilgrims and believers who are hiding in front?" ”
"I think the carriage he got in belonged to the Xia family." Zhen Xuan was amused by Zhen Qi's tone, and replied, "If His Royal Highness goes out, how can he be alone, probably a certain master of the Xia family." ”
Zhen Lin pursed her lips thoughtfully, and waited for Zhen Xuan to call her twice, before slowly shaking her head in disagreement: "It's about the Seventh Prince." ”
Zhen Xuan was stunned. Zhen Lin has always been measured in her speech, and she will not make such inferences out of thin air. She was a member of the Xia family because she saw the Xia family's family crest, and Zhen Lin must have her own reasons for saying this, so she asked: "Why did the fourth sister say that?" ”
Zhen Lin frowned slightly. Said: "I saw his shoes, auspicious clouds embroidered with gold thread plates, which can only be used by royals." ”
Zhen Xuan and Zhen Qi understood, and secretly said Zhen Lin's carefulness.
Back to Pei's house. Duan and Mrs. Ma said that the Seventh Prince had arrived in Yongzhou, and I don't know if the Emperor will be going south next year.
Mrs. Ma said that she knew the truth, so she asked the Duan family to carry a letter to the capital and talk to the eldest master.
If the southern tour also brought the concubines and maidens, and after arriving in Yongzhou, they summoned the high-grade women to question, they should also be prepared early, after all, this family. Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Li are both first-class Mrs. Fate, and Duan's is a second-grade Fate.
The letterhead is fastened, and it takes about 20 days to come and go, and the day when the reply is received, it happens to be the ancestor worship on the 28th of the lunar month.
After the ancestor worship ceremony. Everyone gathered in Qingrong Hall for a reunion dinner.
Mrs. Li accompanied Mrs. Ma to have a few glasses of wine, and took a nap in Qingrong Hall in the afternoon.
Zhen Xuan and Ji talked about family life in Mrs. Ma's house, but they were also happy.
Duan received a reply at this time, and when he finished reading it, he asked Jinhong: "Is the old lady awake?" ”
After the two old ladies got up, Duan read the contents of the letter.
The eldest lord said that he also heard the rumor that the emperor would tour the south next year, and he would also call the prince of Huai'an, and the lady in the palace would also accompany him. It's just that who are not able to know the Tao now.
Only because of the 60th birthday of the nurse of the prince of Huai'an next year, the emperor and the prince of Huai'an are compatriots, and they have lived with the nurse when they are young.
The Seven Princes went first this time, probably for the birthday banquet.
When the eldest master mentioned this, Duan remembered it: "When Wan Yun gave birth to Sister Yuan." Isn't the confinement meal begged by the in-laws' wife just asking someone to ask for the recipe in the palace from the nurse of the prince of Huai'an? The nurse lives in Yongzhou, but she doesn't like to interact with the eunuchs, and we don't know who Lu Dao is. ”
Sun was hugging Sister Yuan, and when he heard his mother-in-law mention it, he smiled and said, "Speaking of which, that recipe saved my life, I mentioned it to my mother when I returned to my parents' house for the New Year." ”
Duan's knowledge of the Sun clan understood what he meant, so he smiled and nodded in approval.
Zhen Xuan glanced at the Sun family, the Sun family has been mellow over the years, and she was pregnant with a child two years ago but did not sit firmly, Duan's heart became distressed, saying that the Sun family is not very old, and he already has children and daughters, don't be in a hurry, wait for a few years to get a better body, and then ask for another one.
Duan's words were said so, and he didn't open his mouth to stuff people, Sun's heart was like a mirror, and he became more and more considerate to his mother-in-law, and the two children were brought well, and they lived a comfortable life.
Brother Chen has been enlightened, when Zhen Xuan and they went to the capital last year, it turned out that Mr. Chen, who was invited by the clan school, was too old to teach, and after discussing with the sixth master, he had to recommend a few children to Sheng'an Study, where the gentleman was also a university scholar, but the children in the study hall were not necessarily from official eunuchs, which made the elders in the family a little worried.
The sixth old man personally went to the library to see it a few times, and saw that some of the children over there were from average backgrounds, but they were all able to study quietly, and the style of writing was extremely positive, and the eighth old lady said that the hero does not ask where he comes from, who knows if there will be a next Cheng Langyuan among these people.
At that time, there was no divorce from the Cheng family, and this sentence was all a compliment.
Everyone listened to it and felt reasonable, whether it was the sixth old lady or the eldest master, they all went to the study hall to study, and it made no sense that these children would be expensive, and they could make more friends with righteous people, and they could learn from each other, so as not to be a frog at the bottom of the well at home, which is also good.
Therefore, Brother Chen, they were all sent over.
Except for the queen of Zhen, Mrs. Jia couldn't look down on the gentleman outside, so she decided to send her to study with the disciples of the Jia family, and the rest basically went.
Balance is no exception.
When Zhen Xuan came back, he asked how the school was, and Zhen Heng smiled and praised "Mr. is a serious scholar", which made Zhen Xuan feel a lot more relieved.
When Brother Chen heard Sun talk about going back to his grandfather's house, he also laughed and asked what gifts he wanted to bring to his cousins.
Duan's words were happy: "Our brother Chen is really a good child, don't forget the brothers, be good." ”
This kind of joke diluted the nervousness of the Holy Lord's southern tour mentioned to Master Pei before.
Mrs. Ma smiled and whispered to Mrs. Li: "If we give the nurse a big birthday, we will have to kowtow at that time." ”
Old Mrs. Li laughed, but there was no joy: "The two of us occupy the position of a first-class fate, and we haven't kowtowed to the nobles for many years?" It's also rare that only at this time will I think of us. ”
This year is not the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the twenty-ninth year is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and when I heard the firecrackers outside, I suddenly realized that the new year had come.
Kowtowed and said auspicious words, and the Ji family pulled Zhen Xuan to his side: "It's really fast, in two months, our Xuan'er will be in time, it's a big girl." ”
Zhen Xuan was stunned, yes, the second day of March next month will be her fifteenth birthday.
It's time to go, just because Zhen Qiong hasn't said goodbye yet, Zhen Xuan's marriage is urgent, but it's not necessarily so urgent.
There was a buffer in Qing'an Hall, but there was a severe headache in Qingfu Hall, and the Zhou family was worried about Zhenqiong's marriage. The Zhou family is a concubine, and she is the daughter of the patriarch's family, so she is not satisfied with how she chooses.
Zhenqiong's personality is too cold, and the Zhou family is always afraid that she will suffer if she marries someone in the future, so she wants to choose a family with a simpler relationship. But where is the simple one in the right high-ranking household, this is more and more picky.
Maybe it's really fate, in the first month, the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Zhou family came to visit the New Year with a few children, and by the way, they brought a teenager from the Zhou clan.
The young man's name is Zhou Weiming, his father is the brother of the Zhou family, he died of a serious illness the year before last, his mother was born in a scholarly background, and there have been a few officials in the clan, but they are all low-grade. Last year, the sixteen-year-old Zhou Weiming was selected for the show, and wanted to take the path of a scholar, Zhou's eldest brother thought that several members of the Pei family were officials in Beijing, so he wanted Zhou Weiming to come over and recognize his relatives.
If it was an ordinary relative, the Zhou family would not be willing to take care of these things, but that Zhou Weiming was really a talent, with a face like a crown of jade, and a good look, and the sixth master was a little moved after reading a few articles. I asked the fifth master to help me see it, and I was also amazed, so I wanted to help even more.
asked Zhou Weiming to make a few more articles, and promised that he would definitely send them to the capital to call the eldest lord to see, and the Zhou family thanked and went back.
In February, the eldest lord replied to the letter, praising and praising again, saying that such a talent was easily obtained by Jinshi. When the sixth master and the Zhou family saw it, they were happy and asked someone to report to the Zhou family. The letter that came back not only thanked him, but also mentioned that he wanted to marry his cousin Zhenqiong for Zhou Weiming.
Zhou's people who have always had ideas suddenly ran out of ideas.
Mrs. Ma relieved a few words, saying that this was Zhou's own daughter, and it was good for Zhou to make up his own mind.
Since Zhou Weiming will be a promising child, no matter whether this family business is successful or not, don't make people resentful, thinking that our Pei family is just a showman who dislikes the current orphans and widows.
Zhou thought about it, and finally had a cheeky talk with Zhenqiong, after all, Zhenqiong had also seen this cousin during the New Year.
Zhenqiong blushed when she heard Zhou's intention, twisted a little, and only then did she blush and nod her head and hide back in the room.
This matter is settled, marrying into her mother's family, the Zhou family is relieved, for the sake of her aunt's wife, who is the wife of the head of the Pei family, the Zhou family will not treat Zhenqiong badly. Moreover, Zhou Weiming will have a future in the future, and the Pei family can lead the way for Zhou Weiming, as long as he is not an unclear person, he knows that he can't treat Zhenqiong badly.
At the end of February, the two exchanged eight characters. RS
