I can't ask Mrs. Zhenguo to bring a letter to Guan Zhuofan.

"Harem traffic outside the court" is an extremely taboo thing, and you can't leave words and paper until you have to. Even if you don't think about this, with Princess Rong'an's pen, she doesn't have the ability to write such a thing in an orderly and thorough way - let alone Concubine Ligui.

Alas, this layer is really not as good as the sixth uncle's Dun Niu'er.

"I think," Princess Rong'an's eyes sparkled, "I have to entrust the old lady to do this." ”

The "old lady" is the mother of Concubine Ligui and the grandmother of Princess Rong'an.

Concubine Ligui was stunned: "Old lady? ”

The "old lady" is not old, she is not yet old enough to know the destiny of heaven, but she often enters the palace for the first time and "asks for peace" for her daughter. Mother and daughter, no matter how much they "talk to others", no one will be surprised, but-

"Do you mean to call an old lady...... Passing the word through Wicker Alley, right? ”

"E-Niang, where do you want to go?" Princess Rong'an smiled, "Isn't that more eye-catching than 'talking to Mrs. Zhenguo' in Yonghe Palace?" ”

After a pause, Princess Rong'an said: "Actually, we have a very proper path with 'him'. ”

Concubine Ligui was stunned and dazed: "The way? Where? I...... How did you not know? ”

"Didn't the second uncle's Hui girl give it to the one named Iksan under 'his'?"

Concubine Ligui let out a soft "ah", she vaguely knew what the "way" her daughter was talking about.

This "second uncle" is actually a "cousin", that is, a cousin of Concubine Ligui.

As mentioned earlier. Guan Zhuofan made a matchmaker for Iksang. The girl is the father of Concubine Ligui and the "niece and granddaughter" of Nakakoshi Shiro of the Ministry of Industry Tuntian Qing Shiro - this "niece and granddaughter". It is the only daughter of Concubine Ligui's cousin. The "Hui girl" in Princess Rong'an's mouth is this girl.

"This marriage," said Princess Rong'an, "the big matchmaker of the women's family is our old lady; The big media of the men's family is actually 'him' himself......"

Speaking of this, Princess Rong'an's face turned red again.

"Our old lady" refers to Qinghai - not that old. In his early fifties.

"You mean," said Concubine Ligui, with some certainty, "that the old lady should pass on the words to the old lady, and then ask the old lady to meet 'him'...... In the name of matchmaking's 'eating and talking about tea'? ”

Princess Rong'an smiled again: "Eniang, where can I be?" 'He', the matchmaker, where can he come to the stage? Besides, isn't it a joke to call a prince to come forward to 'eat and talk about tea' for the marriage of his generals, and say it? And also. If you don't have business, you can't ask the old lady to see him—it's too dazzling! But the official business - Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Works' Tuntian Qing Division. Where is there any urgent business that must go past the officials of the headquarters and run to the house of the prince of the military aircraft foreman? ”

"That ......"

"The old lady has no very suitable reason," said Princess Rong'an, "it is not good to meet 'him', but it is natural to see Ixan—a big matchmaker!" ”

"Ah, yes!" Concubine Ligui showed a look of sudden realization, "The old lady told the old lady that when the old lady and Ixan met, I asked Ixan to pass this matter on to 'him' - Ixan is 'his' cronie!" ”

"A cronie is a cronie," Princess Rong'an hesitated, "but I can't say whether I should tell Sù Ixan directly about this matter—I think the most appropriate way is for the old lady to be vague, and only say that there is a very important matter, which is...... If it is handed out in the palace, it must be reported to the prince. ”

After a pause, he continued: "As soon as 'he' heard it, he understood that it was...... Be...... E-Niang has something to say to him, and she will definitely be able to figure out the weight of this word! As for whether he and the old lady should meet directly, or whether Ixan would relay it, or whatever else it is, it will be up to 'him' to decide, and we will not have to worry about it—he must have the most appropriate method. ”

Concubine Ligui was stunned, sighed, and said, "My son, you are actually a little Zhuge Liang!" ”

Princess Rong'an tilted her head slightly, smiled, and the smug look of a child flew between her eyebrows. At this time, it can be seen that she is only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child after all.

"But," Concubine Ligui chuckled softly, "what do you mean 'E-Niang has something to say to him'?" It's obviously Fujin who hasn't passed through the door, 'I have something to say to him'! ”

"E-niang! You-"

"Yo, my little face is hot again—what's so embarrassing? Could it be that what Eniang said is not the truth? ”

"Y-I'm not coming!"

Princess Rong'an couldn't "stop and leave", so she had to turn around and show her back to Eniang.

"Okay, good," Concubine Ligui hurriedly said, "Get down to business, get down to business!" ”

After a pause, he said: "Without further ado, Ming'er will ask someone to send something to the family, and the old lady will naturally enter the palace to thank her-you can talk about this matter." ”

After a moment of silence, Princess Rong'an half-turned back, her face was still red, but she was already smiling: "Eniang...... Shengming! ”

Concubine Ligui, Princess Rong'an, mother and daughter, racked their brains and thought of "traffic" Guan Zhuofan, in the study of the Wicker Hutong Xuan Palace, Guan Zhuofan was thinking about it and making a tactful statement, hoping to persuade the woman sitting next to him to approve of his plan.

This woman is Bai.

The two of them sat at the round table of red sandalwood, Guan Zhuofan slowly sipped the Longjing tea in the glass, Bai looked at him, and said with a smile: "You are generous, this 'head stubble' of the Ming Dynasty Longjing, there are only three or four catties in total, you poured more than half of it to the English minister, let's do it ourselves, there are less than two catties left, and we have to wait for next year." ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled and said: "This 'Ming Qian Longjing', drinking it, is really fragrant." However, I'm not addicted to it - when it comes to tea, I'd rather drink the 'Eight Treasures Tea' you brewed. ”

"Yo, it's also 'Eight Treasure Tea' - that's 'Three Bubbles of Tea', an ordinary thing, when it comes out of your mouth, why did it become so expensive?"

This "three bubbles of tea" was originally a way to drink tea back, tea leaves as the base, add rock sugar, red dates, wolfberries, walnut kernels, longan meat, sesame seeds, raisins, apple slices, brewed with boiling water. The so-called "three bubbles" are actually "three cannons", which refers to the "three heads" used to brew this kind of tea -- the tea bowl with a lid and a small dish on the base, which are called "three forts" by Hui people.

In recent years, this method of drinking tea has been spread from Beijing's "Huihui Street" - Niu Street, and Bai likes it very much, and he has slightly improved it, for example, removing apple slices and adding chrysanthemums, which is more fragrant and has a more pleasant taste.

"You count," Guan Zhuofan said, "rock sugar, red dates, wolfberries, walnut kernels, longan meat, sesame seeds, raisins, chrysanthemums - this is not the 'Eight Treasures'?" ”

"Nothing is valuable, what kind of 'treasure'? How can it be compared with the 'head stubble' of the Ming Dynasty Longjing? ”

"You're not a 'treasure'? What 'first stubble', 'second stubble', 'before the Ming Dynasty', 'after the Ming Dynasty' - which one can be compared? ”

Bai's face flushed slightly, smiled softly, and said, "Ouch, it's really honey on my mouth—isn't it, what does it require me?" ”

This sentence was originally a joke, but Guan Zhuofan didn't want to say: "Shuangshuang, I really have one thing to ask you." ”

Bai Shi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Look at your serious appearance, what's the matter?" ”

Guan Zhuofan put the glass in his hand on the round table of red sandalwood and said, "I'll tell you one of the most interesting things first-it's also very important!" ”

Top Fun - Top Important?

"I have agreed with the Americans," Mr. Kwan said, "that every year from now on, we will send a group of students to the United States." ”

"International students? What is that? ”

"It is to send our Chinese children to the United States, study in the American school, and then return to China."

Bai Shi softly "ouched" and said, "This is really interesting. ”

After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "This is good!" Now to do foreign affairs, we use the methods of foreigners, let's go directly to the foreigners to learn, learn the hand, do not change, do not discount! ”

Guan Zhuofan glanced at Bai in surprise.

These few words were basically blurted out, and they were not "well thought" -- this insight is amazing.

Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty, there are probably not a few, do you have this knowledge?

This white pair -- it's really not what it used to be.

Bai didn't notice Guan Zhuofan's surprise, what she was thinking in her mind was: It's really interesting, it's really important-but, what does it have to do with me? Why did he say he wanted to "ask" me?
