Volume 2 Red Face Drunk Chapter 91 Family Banquet Listen to a song
The girl in white looked at her wolf-like eyes in surprise, and the boy in white who had met before cowered. The woman was bold and polite and said: "I think the three sons are the four sons of Taiping." ”
Yang Chen swept away, dressed in brocade clothes and holding a folding fan, and said: "Under Yang Chen, this is Liu Zhixing, this is ...."
Zheng Yarong, who rarely goes out of the house, looked at the white-clothed boy with her eyes and interrupted Yang Chen and said: "I think this son is one of the four sons who are known as the little sons, and his identity should be good, I don't know who the son is." ”
Zheng Yarong's question made Liu Zhixing and Yang Chen couldn't help but feel funny, and he could guess the identity of himself and Yang Chen, but he really didn't know his future husband. But it's normal, the reputation of the four princes of Taiping is not good, and Liu Zhixing Yang Chen and Lin Zhong can still afford this notoriety. Xiao Ming, as a prince, is now the king of Jin, in addition to a few big people, there are still people who know Xiao Ming's identity, and those few people don't dare to talk nonsense if they know it.
Yulian sneered when she saw Xiao Ming's embarrassed look, and Zheng Yarong cast a strange look. Isn't it funny that you don't know this young man? It's not funny at all. These young sons have a good identity, do Zheng Yarong have to know each other?
Yulian asked, "Sister Zheng really can't guess who the little boy is." ”
The gentle little boy in front of him is not at all different from the rumors, although the reputation of the fourth prince in Taiping City is a little worse. Before Lin Zhong and Liu Zhixing did not join the army, the word Gongzi was synonymous with gentleness. Whoever goes out of a rich family will use Childe as his name.
Except for Lin Zhong, the other three sons are mostly interesting things to talk about in the boudoir, especially Yang Chen, who is the object of many women's admiration. Amorous, spending money like flowing water, poetry and songs are all incomprehensible. People who know Yang Chen know that poems and texts are bought with money, until a poetry meeting Yang Chen has not written a poem for a long time, and shouted loudly: "How much silver is the poem worth, this son bought it." ”
As long as the eunuchs and wealthy businessmen don't know the four princes of Taiping, they are the only ones who are the most curious. So far, which little boy will be the object of speculation in the boudoir, and which three sons can be accompanied by him, the perennial wandering and Taiping City identity must be good.
Zheng Yarong looked at Xiao Ming, who was embarrassed and voiced, and still couldn't figure out who this little boy was. Xiao Ming took out the wooden folding fan from his sleeve and walked to Zheng Yarong's side and said, "I offended the girl before, and this fan has made amends." ”
This kind of Xiao Ming is really rare, except for facing his father, brother and mother, he is really not so polite. Which little maid behind her, when she saw someone, actually gave her own lady a gift openly. If it doesn't matter if it's normal, it's really nothing to love a woman. But now it's different, if it is known by a prince who doesn't know his temperament, it may not be easy to enter the palace.
Stretched out his hand to swing Xiao Ming's fan and shouted: "Who are you, my young lady doesn't accept everyone's gifts, do you know that she will marry the prince of Jin in a few days, and she will be the princess in the future, take away your broken fan." ”
Seeing the maid like this, Zheng Yarong's face was not good, after all, people were sincere in making amends, not to mention that it was not a big deal. But before he could speak, he heard Xiao Ming's voice: "Where did you come from, little girl, I will give my daughter-in-law something to worry about you, get out." The momentum was so great that the originally arrogant little girl couldn't help but retreat, and it could be seen that the son was really going to do it if he talked more.
Others don't know Liu Zhixing, Yang Chen knows that Xiao Ming looks like he has a gentle temper and is the best among the four. As a prince, what he is most unaccustomed to is bullying people, if the maid speaks well, Xiao Ming will not care. can be pressed by the princess like this, not to mention which prince is still himself.
Hearing the word daughter-in-law, Zheng Yarong's face was very bad, although she knew that the four princes of Taiping did not have a serious son, so frivolous was embarrassing. Blocking in the middle of the maid, he said: "Son, please respect yourself, the slave family has indeed promised to be married, and it is not suitable to accept a gift from the son." ”
Originally, I saw that Zheng Yarong had already accepted it, but it was so embarrassing to be so troubled by the maid. Xiao Ming did not hesitate to stuff the fan into Zheng Yarong's hand, and didn't care about holding his hand. Zheng Yarong immediately waved Xiao Ming's hand away and said, "Please respect yourself." ”
In fact, after knowing Yulian's identity, there were already some guesses, one was that he really wanted to see the operation of the popular Taiping wine shop turned into a restaurant, and the other was curious about the rumored four princes of Taiping. I never thought that I would see a young man who wanted to give him a fan, this little boy was different from the rumors, and even inferior to the infamous Lin Zhong.
Holding a fan in her hand and at a loss, Yulian pushed Zheng Yarong to sit down by her side. I can't imagine that a curiosity will fall into the mouth of a tiger, and it is not easy to leave today. It is rumored that which girl entered the side of the four sons and left safely, and there are very few who are lost, but it is still indispensable to be taken advantage of. Before entering the door, I thought that there was a marriage contract, and these sons and brothers from wealthy families would be restrained, but I didn't expect that a few people didn't put King Jin in their eyes and had no scruples.
At this time, I am afraid that the only one who can help is the sister I just met, and I can see Yulian's peaceful appearance and feel deceived. Sitting there for a long time and didn't dare to raise his head, he faintly heard Liu Zhixing Yang Chen saying something, the voice was actually not small, but it was not real. Yulian squinted her eyes and said, "Sister Zheng is fine, Xiao Gongzi has no malice." ”
Zheng Yarong just stretched out her hand and opened her mouth before she spoke. Xiao Ming said in a very bad mood: "I haven't dared not accept the things that this king has given to others. ”
The two maids didn't really hear it, they wanted to say it but didn't dare, other sons might really be able to oppress people with power. But this is the fourth son, even the son of Huping Mengshi was chasing and beating on the street, and now he doesn't care about King Jin, what else can he do.
But Xiao Ming claimed that Zheng Yarong heard it very clearly, and it was not me but this king. There are not many people who can call this king in Taiping City, and even fewer are so young. The sixth prince was only crowned king at the beginning of this year, and the youngest seventh prince is still only a prince. And the person who is called the little boy in front of him also has a guess in his heart. That sentence still hasn't been spoken, and the little boy is naturally Xiao Gongzi. Putting the fan in the sleeve, there was a lot less embarrassment on his face.
At this time, he also had a little good impression of Xiao Ming, and he never acted excessively towards a beauty like Yulian. is only frivolous to himself, and when he saw Xiao Ming reprimanding the two maids before sitting down and huffing, he felt that it was not so terrible, but felt a little cute.
Xiao Ming just stared at Zheng Yarong like that, and he didn't say anything good, just a family routine. Zheng Yarong said something stiffly, and Yulian sat beside her and just squinted her eyes, looking at her good-looking sister. I will also say a few words from time to time, so that my sister who I just met is not so embarrassed.
Suddenly, a guy in the store hurriedly came over, saying that someone was in a hurry and said that Lin Gongzi and the people were arguing on the street, so he was about to start beating people, if it wasn't for Miss Xiuwen where she was pulling, they would have already started fighting.
Liu Zhixing and Yang Chen were about to go out without saying a word, and Xiao Ming was about to leave when he heard that Lin Zhong had an accident. Looking at the pleasing daughter-in-law, she lowered her body and quickly kissed her on the cheek, turned around and ran away. Frightened that the two maids almost died, they shouted when they saw Xiao Ming leaving: "You must let King Jin clean you up." ”
Zheng Yarong's face was slightly red, and she pursed her lips and did not speak. Yulian said with a smile: "Presumably Sister Zheng has already guessed, now that my sister can't accompany my sister if there is something, the shopkeeper will entertain my sister." ”
Seeing Yulian walking, Zheng Yarong picked up the wine glass for the first time and drank the sweet makeup of her daughter, and her cheeks turned even redder. The two maids were very uncomfortable with the good-looking girl, and said, "Miss, this girl is really not a good person, I know that they have to bring Miss here." ”
Another maid said, "The young lady must not let the master know about the frivolity. ”
Zheng Yarong said: "It's okay, do you know who he is?" ”
The two maids looked at the young lady strangely, and Zheng Yarong said, "He is the King of Jin, let's go and see it too." ”
There are many princes in the palace and all the royal relatives in Beijing, but there is only one missing King Jin. Perhaps only the two of the first seat are not in the Jin Dynasty, and the three daughters of the original selection of the female Ministry of Rites are the most suitable to be concubines. It was only at an important juncture that there was a precedent for King Jin not to be in the palace on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. In fact, Zheng Yarong also felt strange why her mother would let her go out tonight or in a designated place.
The princesses and concubines are all seated, and the emperor and his clan relatives are no longer discussing state affairs. At this time, the emperor was not the head of a country, but only the head of the Xiao family of Daliang. It's more about family affairs, especially now that the Daliang clan is stronger than the previous dynasty. Today, most of the vast territory of Daliang has been built in the past 20 years, and the Southern Chuda, which has dominated for nearly 50 years, has retreated to the south. There are many clans in all directions of the Great Liang, and what is needed is the strong control of the Xiao clan.
The Xiao clan has a large population, and the county kings and local clans have formed a strong trend. Now there are no signs of an outbreak, and it is not a state affair to say that it is a family matter. How many Xiao princes have been seized by local clans over the years, how these emperors have not looked at it. Although it has been twenty years to turn Great Chu into Southern Chu and become the suzerain, it is not the ability of these clans. The clan was a powerful assistant during the war, but the Great Liang had already swept the Quartet, and the clan headed by Zhou Linmeng Li became a stumbling block.
The seizure of power over the past decade or so has yielded some results, and it is far from the time for the general trend to use troops. In addition to Liu Zhixing and Lin Zhong, a large number of young generals have shown their edge in the army. Isn't it shaking the foundation between clans, and many generals have been promoted in the army to occupy real positions. There is Wang An who introduced students from poor families into the court as officials, and interrupted the clan's power step by step in government affairs. The pace is not fast, but there are also remarkable results.
Concubine Xin, dressed in a gorgeous costume, sang an elegant tune with exquisite dancing that aroused the applause of the clansmen. The crown prince, who sat in the second seat, listened carefully to the sound of the piano, but rarely participated in the conversation among the clan relatives. knew in his heart that as long as his father reigned for one day, he Xiao Yin would not be able to stand in the clan. Although he now has the responsibility of supervising the country, it is only that the prison country is far from having the opportunity to set foot in the clan. He would only say a few words when needed, and King Qi had been doing it straight.
Seeing that the mother concubine stepped forward immediately after playing a tune, Concubine Xin gently supported her son's arm and got up. King Qi said: "In the future, the mother concubine will play the piano less, and she will be exhausted, so she should rest more." ”
At the age of fifty, the traces left by the years on Concubine Xin's face became more and more obvious, and these serious illnesses were not as good as day by day. Concubine Xin held her son's arm before standing up, and the two personal palace maids wanted to step forward to help. King Qi waved his hand and said that he would come, and King Qi helped his mother to walk slowly, for fear that if she walked fast, her mother would not be able to bear it.
The emperor said: "The concubine is a swan song in the world, and I am relieved to be able to listen to a song." ”
The queen beside her had no expression, but the prince looked at the queen mother's expression and felt a little bitter. The father who left since he could remember is still Concubine Xin, and many young and beautiful concubines in the palace are not as good as the half-aged. Over the years, the queen mother has lacked nothing as a queen, and she lacks the love of her husband alone.
After the banquet, the emperor and the empress left in love with each other, how did the prince not know that he was acting, he had been used to it all these years. After bidding farewell to his father and queen mother, he caught up with Concubine Xin. Concubine Xin, who was sitting on the step, felt very deeply for the prince, and was a sensible child since she was a child. The third eldest is actually more like a big brother, King Qi is two years older and more proud, but he doesn't have the prince to take care of many younger siblings.
said: "Is there something wrong with the prince catching up with the palace?" ”
The prince said: "I heard my mother play a very beautiful song just now, and I want to ask for a few pieces to go back to find someone to play." ”
Follow step by step, if it is other concubines and princes, it is not appropriate. The prince knew that Concubine Xin's health was not good in the middle of the night, and Concubine Xin didn't care about this. When the prince was a child, he often played with King Qi, and every time the younger prince wanted to let him, Concubine Xin liked the prince from the bottom of her heart. When the King of Qi returned to Taiping City to fight, it was more that the King of Qi made a stumbling block, and the prince retreated a lot.
said: "It's just a few tunes, the prince just asked people to bring a sentence, and the palace will let people find a few good tunes to send to the house for a while." ”
The prince said: "The mother concubine has ever heard of the "Neon Dress and Feather Song". ”
Concubine Xin was a little distracted and said: ""The Song of Ni Clothes and Feathers is difficult, it is a big song. There is a collection in the main palace, and there are very few people who can play this piece, and there is such a luthier in the prince's mansion. ”
As long as I talk about the tune, Concubine Xin has always been very temperamental, and when I was a child, I remembered that what Concubine Xin did was not to seize power in the harem, but more to discuss the quality of the tune with the pianist. The prince said: "It is a girl who likes to play the piano and wants to try the "Song of Neon Clothes and Feathers". ”
Concubine Xin nodded silently and said: "The palace is curious about which girl the prince said, the song has not been played for a long time, and it is a little troublesome to find, so let the prince send it over after finding it." ”
The prince bowed his hand and said, "The son thanked the concubine. ”
Watching Concubine Xin walk away, the prince couldn't help but think of a girl who had only met once.
