Volume 2 Chapter 166 Ding Jiushan's Home
Plans for the "meantime" are also underway.
On this day, the eighth prince was praised by the Son of Heaven because of the one-word law, and the Son of Heaven was happy, so he came to Renming Hall to have dinner with the queen, and the queen began to mention Yan Chi in a corner......
"Forget it, Mrs. Yiguo, she is a concubine who has been straightened, what insight does she have? My dignified David's marriage, it is not her turn to point fingers. ”
"Then the official family should also ask Yi Guogong's opinion."
"Why did the queen suddenly care about the marriage of the national teacher?" Tianzi frowned: "At first, I also thought about letting Rou Shu descend for no reason, but now that Wu Shu has been canonized as the national teacher of David, it is not appropriate for Rou Shu to descend." ”
"The concubine doesn't think like that." The queen hurriedly declared.
At the beginning, Yan Chi was just a doctor, because of his arrogant behavior, the queen was reluctant to let Rou Shu fall, not to mention the current national teacher?! The national teacher is not permanent, but the status is high, it can be said that it is above 10,000 people, more powerful than Zaizhi, Rou Shugui is a princess, but she can't stand the princess in front of the national teacher.
Don't expect the national teacher to whisper to Rou Shu, and even Rou Shu must tolerate those concubines in the National Teacher's Mansion!!
"Have the officials forgotten? Ah Ying is now in the National Teacher's Mansion, and the concubine is still thinking about Ah Jin's love for growing up with Rou Shu, and she can't help but care about what kind of housewife she will have in the future. ”
"So, the queen has a favorite candidate?"
"It's Gao Liuniang." The queen said bluntly: "The last time Mrs. Wang entered the palace, she talked about it tactfully. ”
"Gao Liuniang, forget it." The Son of Heaven didn't say Yan Chi's evaluation of Gao Beisheng's "only for concubines", he found an explanation himself: "Isn't she serving the mourning system for the Luo family?" Can you wait for her for three years for no reason? ”
Wait three years!
The queen felt that she was speechless, and said for a long time: "Why should the official family be so serious about Gao Liuniang's observance, even King Qinghe and King Huai are from the Luo family, and the official family only requires them to serve their mother's funeral in September, and let Gao Liuniang serve the mourning for three years?" ”
Although Luo is a noble concubine, but compared with the queen she is still only a concubine, her children can not call her mother before her death, and after her death, she only obeys the mother's funeral system according to the law, this is still the Son of Heaven in the Qinghe King and a series of men, and has not directly ordered Luo to be executed in order to enjoy the posthumous grief after her death, so the Son of Heaven only let the King of Qinghe and the King of Huai keep the system for nine months, and no one dares to question the law of inconsistency.
The righteous girl was a little embarrassed.
After all, the concubine is not without parents and children, this stepmother has not yet raised the grace of the righteous daughter, and it is actually reasonable for the Gao family to serve a nine-month mourning system, but if the Son of Heaven insists on being more serious, it is reasonable to let her serve the three-year mourning system.
"It's okay, the Gao family girl can serve as long as she likes, but since she is the daughter of the Luo family, her identity is not worthy of David's national teacher."
The queen is not a stupid person, she has suspicions about Luo's "death", and when she heard the Son of Heaven bluntly mind that Gao's daughter is Luo's daughter-in-law, she is sure that Luo's death must not be due to illness. It is not good to be a teacher, but the queen did not stop fighting, and she actually didn't care whether Yan Chi married a Gao daughter or someone else, as long as the future wife of the national teacher was not Qin Sanniang.
"The old lady Wang said that the lady is not suitable, the concubine body discussed the Duchess of Yiguo to pay attention to the daughters of other families, the concubine body thought, the national teacher of the official family is rare and has never really entered the monk and Taoist, but the son of the prince Xungui's family, Yan Sanlang's future wife, must also be born in the famous family of gentle and decent daughters, in order to match."
The Son of Heaven actually didn't want to be distracted by Yan Chi's marriage, and he didn't feel that Yan Chi's marriage needed him to be distracted, he actually had another thing to see the queen today, so when he vaguely agreed, he completely changed the direction of the dominant topic, but when he saw his national teacher the next day, he suddenly realized that his ambiguity might add trouble to Yan Chi, so he chatted with Yan Chi about the matter of participating in the Xuanwu Dao, and suddenly looked at the sky and sighed.
"The queen has been getting more and more chattering lately."
Yan Chi: ???
Son of Heaven, do you want to abolish the queen now, that's not good! Queen Zhou is the person who saved me from Uncle Zhao and Aunt Su, although her mind is not very good, and she will do stupid things when no one around her understands to remind her, but you are not qualified to abolish her. Even if she wants to blame herself, she can't end up worse than Roche...... No, I can only decide the fate of Queen Zhou, you can't decide the Son of Heaven!!
Yan Guoshi's way of coping is to be silent.
He listened to the Son of Heaven continue to look at the sky and sigh: "It's good to stop the war with the Liao State, but according to the rules, my country needs to pay a large amount of money every year, and the treasury has been in an emergency all these years, and now it is getting worse and worse, you can't increase the taxes of the peasants, you can't deduct the officials' money, the only way is to encourage the business market to be more active, Rong Guogong still knows how to do business, so I have to reuse him to change the business government, and I can only ignore the queen's chatter." ”
Yan Chi: This idea is very correct, Zhou Quan has no other skills, he is just good at the trick of making quick money for the emperor, you use your eldest brother, naturally you should treat your wife well, it is necessary to sigh in front of me? I don't have a problem.
The Son of Heaven finally stopped looking at the sky, looking at the important minister who looked up to him as "Yongbao Sheji", and was very sorry: "The queen chattered and chattered and I didn't pay attention to it, so I casually agreed to discuss the Huang family and look at the right woman for you for no reason......"
Only then did Yan Chi understand that the Son of Heaven had come full circle, and the result was that he was in a hurry to borrow Rong Guogong's mind to make quick money, and "sold" him to the queen.
"The Duchess of Yiguo is in a hurry to be a matchmaker, and the official family is up to her." Yan Chi didn't care about the trouble that the Son of Heaven gave him.
The Son of Heaven was shocked that Yan Chi was so obedient today, and said in surprise: "What? Decided to obey the words of the matchmaker for no reason? ”
"How can a late marriage be at the mercy of the Duchess of Yiguo? Chi just allowed her to be a matchmaker, and didn't say that she must marry the woman she likes. Yan Chi smiled.
The Son of Heaven was not surprised, and stretched out his finger and pointed at Yan Chi: "You kid, only you dare to talk to your stepmother in front of me." ”
"Chi's thoughts and thoughts can be described in the official family, which is the stubborn side of the heart, and there is no need to hide it."
The Son of Heaven bowed his head: "I know that Yan Yong is because he loves the Huang family, but he actually treats his wife and son-in-law badly, he is so unkind as a father, and he can't do without the Huang family's two-sided and three-knife woman instigating on the side, how can the resentment against Yan Yong in your heart be dissipated?" You could have followed Zhong Ligong and spent your life idle, and the world's etiquette could not bind you, but after all, you had ambitions and refused to get away with the world without really entering the world, but entering the WTO will inevitably be limited by the laws and conditions of the world. ”
"Chi understands, and he also knows the measure."
Yan Chi is very "listening", of course, the Son of Heaven will not think that Yan Chi does not know the proportion, he is actually ready as long as Yan Chi speaks, the Huang family will be "beaten back to the original form", and the title of the Duke of Yiguo naturally cannot be inherited by Yan Jun, but Yan Chi unexpectedly did not take the title in his eyes at all, but made the Son of Heaven appreciate the "pattern" of his close minister even more, so the Son of Heaven is particularly tolerant of Yan Chi's "little willfulness", such as when the Huang family has to find it unhappy, he fools and fools him to play.
Queen Zhou didn't like Fang Qi, so of course she was no longer happy to see her daughter Princess Rou Shu close to her, but she didn't explain that Rou Shu suppressed and excluded Fang Qi, a princess of a country should have the grandeur of a princess of a country, and bullying the daughter of a courtier must be an act that is not in line with the princess's style, so Ding Jiushan's granddaughter Ding Wenpei's invitation to Fang Qi was not attended by Princess Rou Shu, but it was not simply canceled.
Fang Qi also received Ding Wenpei's invitation, only to suddenly realize that the woman who "confessed on the spot" with her at the winter solstice banquet turned out to be the granddaughter of Ding Jiushan's family, but it was quite a "regret" and when she missed a girlfriend, looking at Yan Guoshi's sharp hatred for Ding Jiushan, Fang Qi decided that Ding Jiushan would definitely be unlucky in the near future, if she really had a relationship with Ding's girlfriend, she would be very indifferent and ruthless when she stood by and watched, which violated her consistent norms, but she herself owed Yan Chi a lot of favors, It is indeed difficult to make Yan Chi "tolerant and generous", so ...... Fang Qi felt that she and Ding Wenpei had dealt with each other at most, she went to invite this time, and returned the host next time, and then there was no contact with each other again.
Ding Jiushan's family house is in the area of Guanxiangkou, which is no longer an area where dignitaries live, but there are many scholarly families, which is quite in line with Ding Jiushan's consistent image in the court.
Ding Wenpei is in his own boudoir to entertain Fang, there is not even a proper place to build a pavilion in the small courtyard, even the hall house is only three, but it belongs to Ding Wenpei's only small world, the courtyard wall has a layer of bamboo flower stands, the top is like a natural wild climb full of vanilla and dill, this green barrier is surrounded by scattered vermilion, pink two-color potted plants, it shows that the owner here, very fond of flowers and plants.
Fang Qi has a lot of topics with Ding Wenpei.
But she also realized that it was mainly Ding Wenpei's erudition and foresight that she could speculate with her.
"Although it sounds simple, as if a pot of clear soup can cook delicious ingredients, in fact, the boiling of clear soup is the most exquisite, if it is a mountain dwelling, take the mountain spring, the rabbit is also obtained from wild hunting, as long as the material is complete, it can be delicious, but there is no such condition, the well water in Lin'an City is not sweet enough, and the rabbit raised has a grassy smell, which must be marinated to remove the fishy, but the marinade is too heavy, the marinating time is slightly longer, and the rabbit meat cut into thin slices loses its own color, and the soup pot is shabu, Not only can the rabbit meat not be the color of the clouds, but even the color of the soup will be affected by the marinade. ”
Ding Wenpei's dishes for Fang Qi today's banquet are the Xia offerings, and they are still cooked by her own hands, Fang Qi tasted them, although there is still a gap between them and her own craftsmanship compared to Aunt Wen, but they are indeed considered good - as long as the diners are not picky people like Yan Chi, they can't dislike and disdain.
Wild rabbits are rare, and the ingredients that Ding Wenpei took today can only be to raise rabbits, and the soup base has not been ruined into a pot of sauce, and the rabbit meat has not been eaten with a grassy taste.
Ding Wenpei also knew that Fang Qi didn't like to drink some tea, so the drink was entertained with potpourri, but it was also a recipe that she pondered and improved, and the taste was slightly different from the fashionable one, the key was that the soup was more beautiful, which also made Fang Qi look at Ding Wenpei with admiration.
Erudite and capable, and good at winning the favor of others, and can also make people feel that they are not meeting at all, feeling that the other party is intersecting with their true temperament, Fang Qi feels that she is excepted, and in her social circle, only Ding Xiaoniang is the most "shrewd and capable", but Ding Xiaoniang's situation is completely different from her, she is a father who does not love her mother, Ding Xiaoniang is like a pearl in the hands of her parents, but she is not used to being high above the top of the arrogant temperament.
I have to say......
Ding Jiushan is still very good at teaching his granddaughter.
