Chapter 21: The Pan Brothers
Liulang bowed his head to Xu Zhan to explain his doubts, Xu Zhan then understood, he also heard a little about this Pan brother, all because the Pan family presented the honor of the national ruler because of a concubine, and it caused a lot of sensation in the government and the opposition, Xu Zhan thought to himself, so he heard Pan Long impatiently reply to Pan Bao, "Third brother, you can't write a few words all day long, what do you want this good inkstone to do?" ”
"Yes, yes, the county lord can use it, but the second brother, she has been favored by the official family since she was a child, and the treasures of the world may not be in her eyes, the second brother, the day you know her, the left set of beads and the right one of the ink treasures, so far I haven't even seen one side of the family, a beauty who can't be seen in the shelf, why are you so concerned." Pan Bao was originally a person who leaned on the red and leaned on the cui, and he was merciful everywhere, but he really couldn't figure out how their Pan family could come out with such a love species.
The two brothers said one by one, Shen Huaishi was secretly amused, then poured tea, and laughed softly, "Brother Pan, Brother Pan, it's really not the younger brother who said you, with your status and identity today, you can completely ask the lady concubine to help you, ask the official family, and point you to the county lord of Yong'an, why do you go to such great lengths." ”
"Huai Shi said this lightly, Niangniang has always been willing to listen to the official family, but who knows that in the matter of the county lord of Yong'an, the mother is saying a wrong sentence, it is said that the county lord's maternal grandfather family has found a family affair for her, and the official family is also very fond of it, and the county lord personally entertained her in the Nanqing Palace a few days ago." Pan Long frowned and spoke.
"The county lord has agreed?" Shen Huaishi was a little stunned, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of character, haven't you heard of it!" ”
"The matter has not been decided, and the official family has not publicized it, only a few royal relatives know, it seems to be the son of an old friend of Uncle Fu Guo, saying that he is full of civil and military affairs, and he is a romantic talent, and the king of Chu let His Royal Highness the county lord personally feast in the Nanqing Palace, and I heard that His Royal Highness the county lord is very satisfied." Pan Bao replied casually.
"Such a smooth response, but not the character of the county lord of Yong'an, I want to think back then" Shen Huaishi looked around for a while, and then said in a low voice, "The first emperor's Qi lady was convicted and died, the first emperor was furious, and he didn't even have time to do the funeral, and the holy decree went down to the palace, and he just let the county lord of Yong'an stop it, this is good at blocking the holy decree, the sin of disrespecting the decree, the first emperor just banned her for a month, this anger has passed, the grace is still the same, such a character, saying that she has been arranged according to this, I don't believe it." ”
"And this?" Pan Long was shocked, and then asked rhetorically, "How did you know about this palace matter?" ”
Shen Huaishi was stunned for a moment, and then said vaguely, "When my mother entered the palace, I heard the princesses mention it. ”
Pan Long and Pan Bao didn't care about this matter, so he didn't ask more, Pan Long only sighed, and then said, "Who knows what she thinks, His Royal Highness the County Lord!" It's hard to figure out. No, two days ago, I just begged the lady concubine to let her feast the county lord, I want to explore the mouth! ”
"Marriage, if it's true, Brother Pan still don't force it, there are more beauties in our capital, even if it can't compare to His Royal Highness the county lord, there are a lot of outstanding ones! Brother Pan, don't fix yourself to death. Shen Huaishi persuaded.
Pan Bao also nodded busily, and echoed, "Although my father is also looking forward to being close to the emperor, there is more than this county lord in the palace, if the eldest brother feels embarrassed, try to plan as soon as possible." ”
Pan Long laughed sarcastically, turned to Pan Bao and said, "Second brother will go to Niangniang tomorrow to see His Royal Highness the County Lord, such a bright and dazzling woman, I think you will persuade me like this." ”
"I'm not as unproductive as my eldest brother, let her be a fairy concubine, I definitely don't want to be a royal concubine, I will be loyal to her all my life, I can't quarrel, no matter how good a beauty is, there will be a tired day, how can I be happy now hugging left and right! You say yes, Brother Huaishi. Pan Bao raised his glass and turned to Shen Huai.
Shen Huaishi was slightly stunned for a moment, and also raised his glass and smiled, "Reasonable, reasonable." ”
"Okay, big brother, don't be discouraged." Pan Bao turned to pat his brother's shoulder, and then shouted again, "Little Er, change the tune." ”
……
Yang Yanzhao listened to these words, his face gradually sank, thinking that this Pan brother was really presumptuous, and dared to call the title to talk about the county lord, and also designed such a thing, thinking that the beautiful woman who had been entrusted with him was still remembered by others, he suddenly felt angry in his heart, and he frowned unconsciously, slightly angry.
Xu Zhan naturally felt displeased, a few days ago I heard that the Pan family was arrogant, today is considered to be insightful, thinking that the county lord is always unfortunate to be remembered by the Pan brothers, and then I think of Pan Long's evaluation, what "bright and bright, dazzling eyes", it seems to be quite different from the cold beauty I saw, but what I saw is not real... Such a strange thought flashed, and he was suppressed by Xu Zhan at that time, if this is the case, then the county lord of Yong'an, isn't his idea too right.
Xu Zhan and Yang Yanzhao were each thinking about their own thoughts, and they were lonely and speechless for a while, Meng Liang Jiao Zan was stunned for a while, and Jiao Zan hurriedly said, "Sixth brother, Brother Xu, what are you two doing!" Eat and drink! ”
"Ahh The two of them came back to their senses, raised their lamps and drank, and then looked at the table over there, the three of them drank in a chic manner, shouting to the heavens and the earth, Liulang turned around and looked at Pan Long carefully, pursed his lips, and was silent for a long time.
……
Chai Xiyun finished the white child, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Princess Pingning in front of him, Zhao Fuping threw down the chess pieces in his hand, and sighed slightly, "This is the third game, and I lost again, I will play chess with you in the future, I have to study it carefully." ”
"My sister is a chess master, why is my heart so restless today." Chai Xiyun also put down the chess, Zipei stepped forward to collect the chessboard, and Chai Xiyun and the two moved to the study hall to talk. Zhao Fuping stepped forward and took the Ning Shen incense, walked to the incense shrine, and replied, "The more I think about it in the past two days, the more I feel that I shouldn't go for you." ”
"It's been two days, why don't you mention this matter again." Chai Xiyun took a sheep's hair pen from the front of the case, put on the ice-patterned endstone inkstone that Pan Long had newly sent this morning, Zipei had already gathered his sleeves, and his hand began to grind.
"Although Brother Eight Princes said that he agreed to you, if Uncle Guo knew, how would it be good!"
"O my uncle! I listen to my aunt the most, as long as I talk to my aunt, my uncle won't do anything. Chai Xiyun put on the paperweight, smeared the ink in the pen, and put the pen on the rice paper.
Zhao Fuping turned sideways to see her calm as water, lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "Yes!" What do I have to worry about you, I am not the only one who loves you, Uncle Guo, the Empress Dowager Zhou and the Eighth Prince's Brother, they will naturally plan very well for you. ”
Chai Xiyun felt that her words were wrong, so she stopped what she was doing and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhao Fuping thought about hearing Zhao Defang's words in the West Flower Pavilion that day, and secretly thought that his fate was miserable, and after being bored for these two days, he actually showed his form in front of Chai Xiyun today, and hurriedly explained, "It's nothing? Hun said. ”
"You're so weird today, why are you feeling emotional." Chai Xiyun moved closer, took the incense powder from her hand, poured it into the cage, and pulled Zhao Fuping to sit in front of the case, "Look at this, it's hard for the Pan family to send such a good thing." ”
Zhao Fuping looked up and down, and said with a smile, "The autumn-shaped inkstone carved in bas-relief is a good thing." ”
Chai Xiyun saw that she was still smiling, so she said softly, "Born in the royal family, our lives are thin, but the major events of this life must be fought hard, if you don't think about yourself and just blindly submit, wouldn't you be like a few sisters, sighing all your life." Uncle is naturally a good intention, hoping that I will marry a gentle son, but no matter how good this person is, he is not the person I like, so I have to find a way out, you too, if you are a sincere person, you must do your best, in this life, there is only this one thing must be fought for. ”
"Having said that, it's difficult for me, I don't have a strong heart like you, and I don't have the help of six relatives, so I have to resign myself to fate."
Chai Xiyun lowered his eyes and pondered, and asked rhetorically, "Let me ask you, Xu Zhan, Xu Gongzi, what do you think." ”
Zhao Fuping's eyes were slightly stunned, thinking of that young man, he was so bright, and after a moment, Fang said, "He's a good one." ”
"If you think it's good, that's fine." Chai Xiyun smiled, turned to the pen and said, "You try to write a word, the ink is excellent." ”
Zhao Fuping dipped in ink and said with a smile, "Then I'll write your boudoir!" ”
"Okay," Chai Xiyun replied softly.
Zhao Fuping answered, wrote on the rice paper, Chai Xiyun supported his cheeks with his hands, looked at Zhao Fuping's bright eyes, and said with a smile, "My sister is talented and her appearance is even more moving, but she is quite compatible with him." ”
Zhao Fuping also somehow, listening to Chai Xiyun say this, he unconsciously remembered the young man, his face suddenly turned red, his pen was slightly sluggish, and he complained, "What nonsense are you talking about!" What he doesn't do. ”
"I just said it casually, and I didn't name it, why are you blushing!" Chai Xiyun laughed, and knew her intentions from the bottom of her heart, Qing Xuan entered, followed by a group of small people, Qing Xuan stopped, and instructed the palace people to place it carefully, Chai Xiyun asked, "Where did this flower come from, it looks very fresh, I can't see what kind of flower it is." ”
"Newly cultivated by the Imperial Bureau, the prince felt fresh, and asked for some for the Nanqing Palace, saying that it was called 'Zhulan', which looked very good in the house." Qing Xuan said, went to the side room to clean his hands, and then said, "Today, Yangzhou's new satin was sent to the palace, and the queen ordered the palace bureau to make it for each palace, and it was sent in a few days, but it was all fine brocade." ”
Chai Xiyun and Zhao Fuping looked at each other and smiled, and said, "It's okay, I haven't made a dress in the spring of this year!" Yangzhou is elected to the palace every year, but they are all good satin. ”
Zhao Fuping smiled, thought about it again, and said, "By the way, you enter the palace tomorrow to see Concubine Shu, and when you leave, go around to my palace to help me get something!" ”
"Brother Eight Kings goes in and out of the palace every day, why don't you call him, but call me." Chai Xiyun sneered.
Zhao Fuping couldn't help laughing, and said softly, "The things of my daughter's family, how can I bother Brother Eight Wang, and His Royal Highness the Lord of Lao County will run for me." ”
"Okay," Chai Xiyun replied lightly, "I'll laugh with you!" I think the inkstone can be used easily. ”
"Not bad."
"My sister likes to write poems, so let's use it! What Pan Long sent, I can't keep it for myself. Chai Xiyun said, and instead ordered the people below to pass the lunch.
