Chapter 57: Daughter's Day
Tossing and turning, Wei Qingqing didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.
As soon as she woke up the next day, Lan Zhi replied, saying that Qiu Ling really wanted to escape yesterday, and now she was caught and sent directly to Wei Xun.
Speaking of Wei Xun, Wei Qingqing felt sullen in his heart, and Wei Hu's loud voice sounded outside.
"Little sister! Are you up, let's go out and play! ”
Wei Qingqing: "......"
Anyway, there's a second brother, isn't it?
Wei Qingqing changed into a goose-yellow embroidered ruyi pattern slightly gauze long skirt, but she didn't realize that it was already more than half of May, and the weather was slowly getting hotter, only in the morning and evening, Wei Qingqing wore a pink and white armor again, her hair was tied in a single bun, and some broken hair was left on her forehead, and two or three beaded flowers came out.
When he came out, Wei Hu was boxing and fighting, Wei Qingqing looked at him, and changed into the newly bought clothes before, his skin was dark, and his white teeth were particularly bright when he smiled, and he couldn't help but bend his eyes: "Where is the second brother going to play?" ”
"Today is Daughter's Day, you forgot."
Wei Hu laughed at her: "In the past, as soon as you arrived today, you shouted that you wanted to go out to see the lanterns and buy flowers." ”
Wei Qingqing blinked, and the fact that Miss Wei and Wei Hu went out for Daughter's Day together in the past really came to mind, but since Mrs. Wei died, Miss Wei has not gone out again, as for herself. Since marrying into the Prime Minister's Mansion, I have never had this festival, but every today, I will hold a small banquet for Wei Susu and prepare a satisfactory gift for her.
Wei Qingqing's heart darkened, seeing that the sun was just right today, she also happened to go to the tavern to see how the affairs of Yang's account were doing, and then let Xiaobai go to explore the situation of General Wei's mansion. He happily put on his weft hat and went out with him.
The Daughter's Day in the capital is more lively than the previous small county town, the streets are full of peddlers selling flowers, and there are many more girls wearing weft hats and following their parents out to pick flowers in the bustling crowd.
Wei Hu was also dazzled all the way, and kept asking Wei Qingqing what he wanted.
Wei Qingqing was not polite, asked for several red begonias, and when they were tired of shopping, the two went to the tea shed by the lake to ask for two bowls of tea to sit down and rest, who knew that as soon as they sat down, a whip smashed directly on Wei Qingqing's table, and a sharp scolding also came.
"I'm blind, don't you see the county lord sitting here!"
"County Lord, this seems to be the young lady of the Wei family." Wei Susu reminded gently.
The voice of the county lord Chi Yang was a little higher: "What Miss Wei family, you are the only Miss Wei I know in the whole capital, Su Su, you are too soft, and any cat or dog dares to bully you." ”
"What do you call a cat and a dog? My sister is also a serious official lady, could it be that the emperor also issued an order, only one family surnamed Wei is allowed in this capital, and no one else is allowed? Wei Hu slapped the table and stood up, but Wei Qingqing didn't pull it even if he wanted to.
"Naturally not, don't misunderstand Master Wei, Lord Chiyang just feels sorry for me, and has no other meaning." Wei Susu immediately apologized.
Wei Hu looked at Wei Susu, who suddenly apologized to himself, and was at a loss for a while, especially Wei Susu, who was gentle and gentle, born beautifully, and did not have the frame of the eldest lady......
The county lord of Chi Yang on one side stopped doing it, picked up the whip again and hit Wei Hu's head, but Wei Hu just grabbed the whip.
"You are presumptuous, and you still don't let go of the county lord!" Chi Yang was so angry that he went to whip it.
Wei Hu's temperament also came up, so he didn't let go: "It's a shame that you are still the county lord, why are you so unreasonable, we sit here so upright, and we didn't provoke you, why do you beat and scold as soon as you come up, even if you are the county lord, I don't believe that your father and mother are as unreasonable as you, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven!" ”
Chi Yang was used to being domineering in the capital, and it was the first time he was reprimanded so by a lowly person, and his face turned red with anger: "You are really bold, you won't let go!" ”
"Don't let go!"
"Second brother." Wei Qingqing wanted to get up and persuade her, but Wei Susu stopped her in one step: "Miss Wei, it's my fault today, please don't worry about it." ”
Wei Qingqing looked at her with apologetic eyes, and her eyes were slightly cold: "I don't dare to worry about the young lady of the General's Mansion, and I ask the young lady to get out of the way, so as not to ......"
Before Wei Qingqing finished speaking, Wei Susu stepped forward and grabbed her hand: "It's best if Miss Wei doesn't care, Susu is afraid of making you unhappy, if you are unhappy, Brother Che will definitely not be happy either."
Wei Qingqing was no longer used to her touching herself again, and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but Wei Susu suddenly seemed to be pushed, and fell back a few steps before she was barely supported by her maid Huan Bixue.
Wei Qingqing immediately came to her senses, and the next second Bixue's aggrieved question with red eyes had already come: "Miss Wei, my young lady has already apologized so much, why do you still want to push her." Although you are about to marry into the Guogong Mansion, but you are not married yet, is it too despicable and shameless to be such a powerful villain! ”
"If it's really a nest of snakes and rats, you brothers and sisters are not good things!"
When the county lord of Chi Yang heard this, he was even more angry, and directly kicked at Wei Hu.
Wei Hu is also so angry, he still doesn't know what kind of temper his little sister has? This Chi Yang County Lord is messing around, she is not a good thing!
After thinking about it, seeing the kick of the county lord Chi Yang, Wei Hu simply pulled her whip and flashed it to the side.
The county lord of Chi Yang kicked into the air, and the whole person fell back directly and weakly, and fell to the ground with a bang. By the way, a table of tea was overturned and splashed on her face, so she was not embarrassed.
Seeing this, Wei Hu immediately laughed, pointed at her and said, "You asked for it, I didn't even touch you." ”
"You ......"
The county lord of Chi Yang is not very old, and in the face of Wei Hu's unsympathy and ridicule, his eyes turned red, and he cried aggrieved.
Wei Susu hurriedly came over to help her up and comforted her: "County Lord, it's all Su Su's fault, you can beat and scold Su Su." ”
"What's your business?" Chi Yang snorted and stood up, stared hatefully at Wei Hu and Wei Qingqing, who was silent on one side, and stomped his feet: "You two pariahs wait for me, I won't let go of your whining ......"
So saying, he ran away crying.
Wei Susu naturally wanted to catch up, Wei Qingqing looked at her back and asked her softly: "For the sake of a man, Miss Wei sings and fights like this, don't you feel embarrassed?" ”
Wei Susu's back stiffened slightly, did she dare to compare herself to a play?
The corners of Wei Susu's mouth hooked up with contempt, for the sake of Brother Che, why not make a show? She dares to kill people.
Wei Susu didn't look back, and went straight to follow the county lord Chiyang.
Wei Hu also pouted: "It's really spoiled." ”
"Second brother, do you know who you offended today?" Wei Qingqing looked at Wei Hu with a slight sigh, this second brother, his brain is really not open.
"The county lord, but what about the county lord, it's all her fault today." Wei Hu didn't care.
Wei Qingqing sighed lightly in her heart. instructed Xiaobai: "Go back and tell Ge Lao about today's affairs, especially focusing on this Chiyang County Lord." "The emperor is just a younger brother, and he has been crowned the king of Ruyang, and the king of Ruyang is under his knees, just such a daughter, who is really afraid of falling in his hands and afraid of melting in his mouth.
Wei Qingqing lost the mind to continue shopping, and took Wei Hu to Sijijiu, looked for Yang's account room and asked about buying a shop, and learned that it was going well, so he was going back to the house, but as soon as he went out, he saw a familiar figure flashing into the alley on one side.
Wei Qingqing was shocked, how could she appear here?
"Second brother, I seem to have left a hairpin in the tavern, can you help me find it?" Wei Qingqing asked Wei Hu.
Wei Hu responded: "Then you wait for me here, don't go far." With that, he quickly went inside, and Wei Qingqing glanced at Lan Zhi.
Lan Zhi understood, and immediately quietly went to the alley, making sure that there was no danger, so she beckoned Wei Qingqing over, but not long after the two entered the alley, they saw the men and women hugging each other in the alley.
Wei Qingqing looked at the eldest princess lying in the arms of the middle-aged man with tears on her face full of tears, and her heart sank, no wonder Rong Hai's smile was always floating on the surface, with bitterness.
"Miss."
"Let's go." Wei Qingqing knew that Rong Hai had a heart for the eldest princess, and she knew it. I don't want to look any more, it's hard to judge right and wrong with infatuated men and women in this world.
But as soon as Wei Qingqing turned around, he heard the man say to the eldest princess affectionately: "I have already made an appointment to meet Na Ronghai tonight, I will make it clear to him that I have been waiting for you, and I will not let him look down on you." ”
Wei Qingqing frowned, and her footsteps couldn't help but stop. See Rong Hai? Rong Hai, such a gentle and intelligent person, is he disdainful of seeing this man?
And this man said that he had been waiting for the eldest princess, but Wei Qingqing didn't have it, this middle-aged man also had information in her hand, this person was not a seed of infatuation, on the contrary, there were groups of beauties around him, even so, why did he deceive an eldest princess who had passed away last year?
Although the eldest princess is from a royal background, she has a horse, which can be said to have ruined her future. Just like Rong Hai.
And if he really loves the eldest princess, why does he want to see Rong Hai now?
Wei Qingqing thought about it, stayed in the alley for a while, and only waited for the eldest princess to leave reluctantly, only to see the man dust off his clothes, snort with disdain, and then strode away.
"Miss, look at this matter, we can't deal with it."
"Well, you go to the Guogong Mansion immediately and tell the second master." Wei Qingqing didn't plan to deal with it herself, after all, this was Rong Hai's housework, and she didn't have a position to deal with it.
She's just ...... Some pity the eldest princess, the man who thinks he loves deeply, but he doesn't take her seriously at all.
Back at Sijizhuo, Wei Hu was already sweating profusely, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her coming: "Little sister, where have you been, I thought you were arrested by some gangster!" ”
"There's a flower seller in front of me, I'll take a look." Wei Qingqing explained apologetically, Wei Hu was relieved when he saw that she was not in an accident, and told her that he was going to participate in the first test of the martial arts people when the time came.
The two talked and laughed and walked all the way forward, and as they walked, they saw that someone suddenly stumbled out of a nearby alley, with a little panic and coldness on their chubby faces.
As soon as Wei Qingqing saw his face, her eyebrows were raised. Then I saw the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion mixed in the crowd.
Rong Ruizhang, is this even going to get rid of him? He's really good at it.
"Lan Zhi, go follow that person." Wei Qingqing commanded Lan Zhi in a low voice, if this person could also return to her hands, it would be a good thing.
"Little sister, what are you asking Lan Zhi to do?" Wei Hu was a little puzzled when he saw Lan Zhi leaving.
Wei Qingqing only smiled and asked Lan Zhi to buy some pastries, so she pulled Wei Hu home, and as soon as she arrived at Yuqian Lane, she saw the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion parked at the gate of the Guogong Mansion. And Rong Ruizhang's little servant Gong Chang was sneaking around by the carriage, and when he saw Wei Qingqing and Wei Hu coming back, he immediately withdrew his gaze and went to the Guogong Mansion.
"What a strange man is." Wei Hu's big eyes widened, as if he was afraid that Rong Ruizhang would come out of nowhere.
"It's okay, second brother will go back to see Ge Lao first." Wei Qingqing put away the chill in her heart and urged Wei Hu, for the matter of the county lord of Chiyang today, Wei Hu still has to go to Ge Lao to learn a lesson, as for Rong Ruizhang. He went to the Guogong Mansion at this time, could it be because Mrs. Zhang was deprived of her title?
Thinking of this, Wei Qingqing was in a better mood, twisting the flowers she bought today and jumping on the bluestone slab to go back to the yard happily, but before the person entered the yard, he was hit by something flying.
Wei Qingqing paused, and when he looked up, he saw the head lying on the courtyard wall.
"What are you looking at, why don't you help His Highness pick things up?" Qin Liangye looked at Wei Qingqing with a rebellious expression.
Wei Qingqing glanced at a stone on the ground, was dumbfounded, leaned over to pick it up, and said, "Your Highness, wait a minute, the courtiers will send it to you." "Anyway, I didn't care about Qin Liangye, and went straight back to the courtyard.
"Hey, who told you to let your subordinates send it, did you send it to His Highness in person?" Qin Liangye shouted at her.
Wei Qingqing just didn't hear it, went back to the courtyard, and ordered her mother-in-law to send Qin Liangye out, so angry that Qin Liangye jumped to his feet: "All the women in the capital are like this? ”
"This Miss Wei is from a small place, she has never seen much of the world, and naturally she doesn't know the rules." The little guy on the side hurriedly coaxed.
"No wonder it's so rude." Qin Liangye said with interest, and saw the servant woman beside the eldest princess coming over: "Your Highness, Her Royal Highness the princess is waiting for you in the Guogong Mansion." ”
The squirming on Qin Liangye's face suddenly dissipated, and he made a sullen hum, and just when he was about to enter the Guogong Mansion, he collided with Rong Ruizhang who came out with an angry face.
Rong Ruizhang knew that the sixth prince was back, and in his previous life, before the fourth prince ascended the throne, he died inexplicably in Saibei, and I heard that he was infected with some extremely dangerous disease, and the eldest princess also lost her hair on the grounds that her father and brother died and was unbearable.
So goodbye to the six princes, Rong Ruizhang didn't pay too much attention to it, and was about to leave after just saluting, but suddenly heard Qin Liangye ask: "Xiangye seems to be very busy recently, the eldest emperor brother and the fourth emperor brother are too busy?" ”
Rong Ruizhang's body stiffened slightly: "The minister has been handling things in the court for the emperor. Is there something wrong with the Sixth Highness looking for Weichen? If this is the case, Weichen must personally go to the prince's palace to listen to the order. ”
"No need." Qin Liangye looked at him suspiciously and vigilantly, and smiled: "I just returned to Beijing, what can I do, at most I am just looking for some elegant places to have fun, if Xiangye knows such a place, let someone send a letter to me." ”
With that, he walked away.
Rong Ruizhang looked up at his back, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he had been raised in the barren place where the birds in the north of the country did not, and it was normal for him to only have fun if he didn't know the government.
The only abnormality is that he and the eldest princess suddenly returned to Beijing this time.
Is it really just for the eldest princess and the separation?
"Is Xiangye worried about the sixth prince?" Gong Chang asked softly on the side.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should already be staring at him, to worry, it is not my turn to worry at this moment." Rong Ruizhang was not particularly worried when he thought that Qin Liangye would not live long at all, what he was most worried about now was the mess in the Prime Minister's Mansion and the 100,000 taels he promised to give to the four princes.
Yesterday, I went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Only then did he know that Aunt Wen had actually resisted four or five high-end shops in private, and she was also tricked, and Aunt Wen thought she was resisting, not a sale. But when I checked the deed, I realized that those people were secretly playing tricks and exchanged the deed of resistance for a sale.
He was just about to send someone to investigate this matter, but the old lady was taken away by the Queen Mother again, and as soon as she turned her head, the matter of Rong Jinning and Wei Qiongwei was told by the Chen family's Chen Sanniang's big mouth.
If all this is a coincidence, Rong Ruizhang doesn't believe it at all!
"Did Liu Quanfu catch it?"
After getting into the carriage, Rong Ruizhang asked Gong Chang in a deep voice.
"I'm arranging for someone to arrest him, this Liu Quanfu is too cunning, we were going to do it last night, but I didn't expect him to be ready to let him slip away, but he definitely won't be able to get out of the capital, and it's only a matter of time before he catches turtles in the urn." Gong Chang replied.
"That's good, I want to be a living person, and only he can handle these things well." Speaking of this Liu Quanfu, Rong Ruizhang leaned in the carriage, also full of anger, but his doubts became deeper and deeper.
How did Liu Quanfu come to his side in the first place? He thought about it for a long time, it seemed that Wei Qingqing had just gotten married, and this person asked to come to the door to say that he wanted to follow him, and since Liu Quanfu came, he has also done his best for himself, and there is nothing wrong with him.
Why, then, did he suddenly want to leave when he was in the prime of his life? Doesn't he know that this is the time for him to use people!
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Wei Mansion, Gong Chang reminded him, and Rong Ruizhang rubbed his eyebrows vigorously and ordered: "Send the things I prepared into it, and you must deliver it to her in person!" ”
Gong Chang glanced at the brocade box in his hand, his fingers trembled, and he hurriedly responded, turned around and personally sent the things to the Wei Mansion.
Rong Ruizhang looked deeply at the plaque at the door of the Wei Mansion through the curtain, his palms were slightly tight, Wei Qingqing, in your life, you don't want to escape from the palm of my hand!
When Lan Sheng led Gong Chang to come, Wei Qingqing had just received news from Guo Qing, saying that he had successfully found the Zhang family in Niujia Village, and when he heard Lan Sheng's reply, he didn't expect that Rong Ruizhang would be so mad that he would do such a thing!
