Chapter 153: Zhang Gu Meets
After retreating, Chu Rui saw Li Mao's bitter face and made a request to him, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Li Aiqing, you actually have to be matched for this kind of thing, you, you...... What are you saying about you? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister also knows that this is not appropriate. But the minister couldn't think of any way except to ask His Majesty. Chen's old mother asked the minister every day what was going on since the minister took Li Rui's letter of life, and two days ago she broke up with the Lu family, the old lady was furious, and the minister really couldn't stay at home! ”
Since Li Mao gradually substituted himself into the identity of a "multi-faceted spy", he has pretended to be innocent in various ways, and he can be awarded the title of "Li Yingdi".
The minister also had no choice, so he told her the truth, saying that he had already exchanged eight characters with the Zhang family and made a matchmaking book, and Li Rui would never fail to marry a wife, so it stopped. You also know the character of Lu Daochen's mother, she has to find a way for her to meet Miss Zhang, don't do it deliberately. Miss Ren is in the filial piety period, where will it be so easy to go out! ”
Chu Rui smiled and coughed a little, "Okay, okay, I'll help you, I'll help you." ”
After he finished speaking, he also felt a little funny. "Old Taijun Qiu uses my queen as a housekeeper, and you lazy person uses me as a matchmaker, how can it be true!"
He said that there was no reason for this, but his words were full of laughter, and he was obviously not annoyed.
Li Mao grew up under the various "cares" of his father and mother since he was a child, and he has a very good set of observing words and feelings, he found that the emperor ate this set, and hurriedly said with a shy face: "Your Majesty also knows the way, when the minister is at home, he has always been taken care of by his father and brother, and he has little communication with his children. To put it mildly, as soon as the minister came out, he was taken care of by His Majesty, and he had already regarded His Majesty as a father and brother's task, and every time he encountered a problem, he always wanted to come to His Majesty ......"
Li Mao showed an embarrassed expression, "The minister also knows that Lu Dao is really unstable like this, but because of his personality, it is difficult to change it." ”
"I see you're so good. There are very few courtiers like you now. Chu Rui sighed, "If there are a few more honest and selfless people like Li Aiqing, and a few fewer self-righteous people, it will be nothing to let me pull the bridge every day." But there are some people who are bold and reckless, and only know themselves! ”
What Chu Rui said was obviously the Lu family.
After the Lu family retired from their relatives, they really began to send the drawings of their polders to Beijing, and they also took the initiative to connect with the Ministry of Industry to inquire about flood storage.
His Majesty praised it. Your Majesty is not angry and arrogant, how many people have such a cheeky minister who will come to inquire about everything? Li Mao hurriedly diverted the topic.
"I have your business in mind, and I will go and discuss it with the queen in the evening. I'll get back to you tomorrow. Chu Rui shook his head, "Only your family will worry so much." ”
"Thank you, Lord Longne!"
Li Mao rubbed his face that was already smiling and walked out of the palace, it is really not easy to be a courtier these days, if you want to sell it, you will pretend to be stupid, and you can't show that you are really stupid, otherwise you won't be given an errand. From time to time, you have to show some weaknesses and handles for the emperor to hold, so that he will feel that you have no other heart than loyalty.
Mother! Do something for you, my son's overnight dinner will come out!
Chu Rui did not tell the queen the news that the Zhang family and the Xinguo Mansion had secretly engaged to each other, because the Jin State Mansion did not know that Li Mao was instructed by him to find an alliance with the Jin State Mansion. Although the queen is on his side, she loves her son, and if she inadvertently reveals something to the eldest prince, he is afraid that the eldest prince will have thoughts that he should not have.
He wanted to give him the position of prince to his eldest son, but not now. I can't expect too much from him, his heart is undecided, and now letting him know too much is hurting him.
So when Chu Rui told the queen that he wanted to give the Zhang family's daughter to Li Rui, Zhang Shaoguang was of course taken aback.
"Your Majesty wants the concubine's cousin niece to marry Li Rui? Will my cousin say yes? The Shinkoku Mansion wouldn't be happy, would it? "Li Mao is a noble faction, if he lets his nephew marry the daughter of the Zhang family, it is no different from apostasy.
"If you want Li Rui to have a relationship with the Jin State Mansion, you can only rely on marriage. It just so happens that the family affair between their family and the Lu family has been blown up, and it doesn't matter who Li Rui is married to now. Su Niang still has three years of filial piety, and there have been various changes in the court in the past three years, maybe Li Rui will not be so eye-catching when he goes to Zhang's house to propose marriage in the future. He said meaningfully.
Zhang Shaoguang thought that what the emperor said was that Li Rui grew up three or four years later, and everyone knew that he was sent by the eldest prince, and it was normal for him to marry the eldest prince's maiden family.
"What should Your Majesty do if you want your concubine?"
"I will try to get Mrs. Qiu to go to such an nunnery once in a few days. A few days is the 100th day after the old man goes, and you also asked your niece to go to the nunnery to burn incense. Chu Rui chuckled and said, "If the nunnery is all your manpower, are you afraid that you won't be able to meet by chance?" As long as Mrs. Qiu is happy, Li Mao is willing to do anything. ”
“…… This, is it appropriate? Su Niang is still in the filial piety period...... "Zhang Shaoguang is a daughter of the family who is serious and has a very important view of etiquette, she hesitated for a long time, "If you really want to marry, you can wait for another three years......"
"Su Niang has to wait for three years in the filial piety period, Li Rui is now fourteen, if the two families don't reach their meaning, Li Fu will wait for three years?" Chu Rui took the queen's hand, "You also know the situation of the Li family, the people are so thin, Old Taijun Qiu can't wait for him to get married as soon as possible." ”
Zhang Shaoguang nodded hesitantly.
"Concubine...... The concubine went to arrange. ”
Chu Rui saw that he had persuaded the queen, and he was very happy in his heart.
He didn't say it, but he actually had something else in his heart. When he married Shaoguang, Li Laoguogong and Li Meng's relatives and friends felt that his family was not kind.
Now he will return the Li family to a Zhang family girl!
In the Jin State Mansion.
"Mother, what did you say?" Zhang Suyi looked at her mother Jiang in disbelief.
"Su Niang, this family affair is not a grievance against you. Our family has a daughter like you, your father can't wronged you, and he won't take you out of his way to marry. Although Li Rui was dismissed, it was not a matter of character......" Jiang saw his daughter pinching his leg and hurriedly dragged her over, "What are you doing!" ”
"Mother, I'm just pinching to see if I'm dreaming." Zhang Suyi said in a daze, "But my grandfather has just passed away, and you have condemned me to someone's family, which ......is unreasonable."
"It's just that they exchanged eight characters with each other, and the matchmaker made by your cousin was not hired, and it was not considered a marriage. It can only be said that both families have this intention, so they will settle down first. You are fifteen years old, Li Rui is also fourteen, if you don't decide on the marriage now, you will be an old girl in three years! ”
"What did my mother say, the second uncle said that it was too early for a girl to marry at the age of eighteen." Although Zhang Suyi has a generous personality, she is inevitably a little shy when it comes to marriage.
"Your second uncle is hysterical, do you take it seriously?" Jiang didn't have a good impression of this little uncle, and when he had hysteria, he always shouted that God was playing with him, what kind of "chicken" professor he was.
Listen, is this human language?
The professor is a student official in various states and counties, and I have never heard of chickens looking for professors to study!
If it weren't for the fact that he was a mild type of hysteria and never attacked people, her father-in-law told his daughter to talk to the second uncle more often and solve the problem, she didn't want her daughter to mix with a madman every day.
Fortunately, her daughter didn't get weird.
"Don't think you're getting married, your mother is a person from the past, and the family style in the Xinguo Mansion is rare in Dachu. Although Li Rui currently does not have a knighthood or official position, your father has asked around, this young man has a resolute personality and excellent character, and your cousins have praised him. The official position is all up to the man to be motivated......"
"Mother, don't say it. Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by parents, and since you and your father both feel that this family business will not wronged their daughters, how can daughters feel that they are low-married. "Zhang Suyi is telling the truth.
She's going crazy.
Pinching yourself is also to see if you are dreaming.
"If only you could think it through. This Li Rui heard that he was personally raised by Qiu Taijun, this old lady hates concubines the most, and he has not accepted concubines for two generations, and his two sons are also very dedicated. At this point, you are much more blessed than your mother. There was a dark look on Jiang's face.
Her husband Zhang Nuo is not a good woman, but that's it, there are several concubines in the family, and there are also concubines and concubines.
In a family, all the children are born to the wife, then it is called true family harmony.
"By the way, the day after tomorrow is the hundredth day after your grandfather's death, and the saints don't like monks and nuns today, and your father is not ready to invite someone back to chant and confess, so he only sent his family to Da Bao'en Temple to light an everlasting lamp." Jiang sighed, her eldest son Fuling returned to his hometown, and he had to keep his father's filial piety for three years there.
Thinking about it this way, it is better for Li Shuo, the old prince of Xinguo, to be buried nearby, and not to return to his hometown, lest the family be separated.
"On the day of your grandfather's 100th day, the queen mother will also go to the Nunnery to light a lamp for your grandfather, and on that day, you will go to the Nunnery for me and recite a sutra for your grandfather."
The Jiang family didn't know what the queen mother was going to accompany her, but his family was such a daughter, and she couldn't leave the house now, so she could only do these things with her daughter.
"It's good, mother."
Out of the room, Zhang Suyi, who couldn't help but smile, went directly to the second uncle's yard.
"Yo, why are you so happy today? Didn't you feel like you had been sold a few days ago? Zhang Ying put down the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his hand and asked his subordinates to move him to a wheelchair.
"You're here just in time, quickly push my uncle and me out of the hall to breathe."
Zhang Suyi pushed the second uncle to go out, this wheelchair was given by the old man Qiu, who was also disabled, thanks to this wheelchair, her second uncle did not hold back his illness.
…… Probably.
Is hysteria a disease or not?
"My mother couldn't bear my questioning, so she revealed the news to me today. Dad took my eight characters and went to settle a relationship with Li Rui of the Li family. Zhang Suyi looked at the second uncle in the wheelchair and suddenly turned his head and paused. Second uncle, what's wrong with you? ”
"Which Li family? The Li family of Old Duke Li? ”
"Naturally, it's the Li family who is also in the public mansion." Zhang Suyi saw the second uncle's satisfied expression and stared at him in surprise.
"Is there something wrong?"
"No, I just think you're a good little girl."
The family that has been changed by the traverser, at least in terms of respecting women, other families in Dachu should not have it.
I don't know if he has a flush toilet in his house, and whether he has made anything close to modern times.
Mrs. Qiu was deeply influenced by her husband and thought that she should like independent women.
"I just feel that God treats me well, I always think that a jealous woman like me can't tolerate the entire Dachu except the Li family. I am ready to live without sorrow or joy for the rest of my life, but I can be loved by my parents and set up this family business. If this is not the favor of God, what can it be? ”
Zhang Suyi knows that in the eyes of the world, people like Li Rui are naturally not the best candidates for marrying a daughter from a high-ranking family. Whether her father decided to marry her or not, he gave her at least one chance to choose to live a life.
She is grateful for these.
On the day of the sacrifice, Zhang Suyi, surrounded by the generals and the maids-in-law, wore filial piety clothes and got into the carriage. Because the nunnery is in the city, not in the suburbs, the Zhang family is light and simple, and the side gate is also walked.
On the other side, Gu Qing, who was full of anticipation, boarded an ordinary carriage with the support of Mama Hua. She and Mama Hua did not wear too gorgeous clothes, and they were wearing simple jewelry, which looked no different from the old ladies of ordinary rich and noble families.
If you ignore the plainclothes home and girl in the back.
For example, in the nunnery, after burning incense and lighting the lantern, Zhang Suyi knelt in front of the statue of the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo and burned the Buddhist scriptures he copied. She does not believe in Buddhism, but she believes that the power of faith will bring peace to people, which is not a transcendent power, but a kind of power to comfort the living.
So even though she didn't believe in Buddhism, she still recited the mantra and copied the Buddhist scriptures to burn.
Zhang Shaoguang did not wear red clothes to go out, but also changed into a white linen dress, when she was outside the palace, she always wanted to keep filial piety for her cousin.
She looked at her niece's expression very gently.
This child is not at all like the girl of their family, does not have such strong ambitions, and does not have that deep sense of family responsibility. She may be the most peaceful girl in the Zhang family.
For what they don't have, some people will be envious, and some people will be jealous. The queen is a rational and mature person, naturally the former, and she is also very fond of this niece.
Seeing his niece who stood up, Zhang Shaoguang said with a smile:
"Suyi, I have something to say to Mrs. Shi. Why don't you go to the backyard to see the flowers? Nowadays you rarely go out, and it just so happens that the cloves are blooming, and you can go and enjoy it. ”
Zhang Suyi knew that this Nunnery was not as simple as it was rumored outside, and this aunt probably arranged some things outside the palace through Rushi Nunnery.
She had no intention of spying on these, so she naturally nodded yes and went to the back with a few girls.
This is the Buddha Nunnery, and behind it is the residence of the monks and wives of each prefecture.
The so-called back garden is a garden that connects the front Buddhist hall with the back residence.
Gu Qing, who pretended to be an "ordinary old lady duo" with Mama Hua, was already anxious waiting in the back garden, and she didn't know how many flowers and plants died in her hands, all of which were pulled down by her.
Mama Hua almost scratched her ears and cheeks when she looked at her, and couldn't help but take a handful of poor cloves from her hand.
"Mrs., don't worry......
Her words paused. Because she followed Gu Qing's gaze and saw Miss Zhang Jia coming towards Yingying.
Because she is still in the filial piety period, she is only wearing a plain white dress, which corresponds to her name of "plain clothes". She has no hairpin rings on her body, and there are no other colors on her body, but she can see her beauty even more.
Zhang Suyi was also stunned when she saw someone in the garden. Generally, when the queen comes, all the people inside and outside the garden must be clean.
Could it be that some old lady in the garden is leading the practice?
Uh, why is there so many broken flowers and leaves around this old lady? If the old lady was losing her temper here, she looked at it, and it was her faux pas.
Zhang Suyi was not embarrassed, she only faced Mrs. Qiu, and she was about to go in another direction.
Gu Qing saw that she was leaving, and she was in a hurry, so she had an idea, covered her head and sighed.
Haha
It's so far away, who knows what she looks like!
Zhang Suyi saw the old lady holding the tree with a painful face, and did not hesitate at the moment, first bowed her head and ordered a girl to find the medicine woman in the nunnery, and then led the people to Gu Qing's side.
"This old lady, do you have any medicine with you?"
But most people who have heart disease and brain pain have pills with them.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was like the wind blowing willows, low back softly, Gu Qing squeezed her eyes and looked at the girl under the cover of her palm, this look, she suddenly sighed deeply about the good luck of Li Rui, this kid.
This plain dress is not powdered and the color is like the morning glow reflecting the snow, and the appearance is still above Lu Jun Wanning and others, Gu Qing has been here for so long, except for Tana, I have never seen such a beautiful girl.
What's more, this girl is only fifteen years old, and although her body is slender, her breasts can be called the level of 1 bullet of flesh.
She looks envious, jealous and hateful, okay?
Isn't this scientific, isn't the beauty of the women in this world who are delicate?
"I'm sick, just help me to the side and sit down." Gu Qing gasped and frowned, "It's really a labor girl." ”
Zhang Suyi raised her eyebrows.
She instinctively felt that something was strange, that the old lady was a little too familiar.
"Hongfan, Zhu Lou, help the old lady to go to the stone bench next to you to rest." Zhang Suyi quietly glanced at the clothes and demeanor of the two old ladies.
How can there be a person with a headache who doesn't have a drop of sweat on his forehead and nose, and even his face is so ruddy!
Suddenly appeared in the garden, and deliberately let her get closer, could it be an assassin?
If it was an assassin, it must be her cousin, the current queen.
She had to be on guard.
Gu Qing was helped by the two girls to sit down on the stone bench in the garden, and was about to say a few more words, but saw Zhang Suyi pointing to the door and saying to her:
"Old lady, the medicine woman is here, if you are not feeling well, it is better to go back to your room and lie quietly. I remember that I still have some things to do, so you can rest here slowly, and I will take my leave. ”
After speaking, Ying Ying bowed in the distance, turned around and walked, and walked away with the girls.
Only the dumbfounded Gu Qing was left.
This...... Isn't this script right?!
The author has something to say: Gu Qing scared the little girl, and she was calm on the surface, but in fact, she almost ran wildly.
Small Theatre:
Isn't this scientific, isn't the beauty of the women in this world who are delicate?
Zhang Ying: (lewd laughter) Hey, hey, hey, if you tell your niece to drink more soy milk and milk, often do chest expansion exercises to prevent heart disease, and persevere, you will ......
Author: Get out! Obviously, it is a girl with good congenital conditions!
