Text: Chapter 96: Origin
"Uncle Zu said that Your Majesty is worried that the brothers and sisters of the Dingguo Mansion will be out of proportion, and when the time comes, things will be out of control, and it will be difficult for Your Majesty to protect them, so let them find something to do." Ouyang Yuanshui nodded, put away the teasing attitude he had a moment ago, and sat down in a seat a little farther away from the girl before saying, "What Uncle Zu means, it is better for me to try to please Miss Xu, not only so that the Dingguo Mansion can be busy with the marriage, but also let me borrow the east wind of the Dingguo Mansion." ”
The girl raised her eyebrows, hugged her chest and said, "Isn't this an errand for you?" I can't help much. ”
Ouyang Yuanshui said: "Uncle Zu has someone next to Miss Xu, and he can help lead Miss Xu to meet me." However, in order to prevent his identity from being exposed, that person is not good at beating the side drum for me from time to time. And there are some important projects that are about to start at the beginning of the year, and Jinyiwei is now gearing up, I don't have so much time to spend with Miss Xu, so I think it's better to take some medicine with you while the secret envoy has not yet arrived, and cook raw rice with Miss Xu. ”
The girl looked at him like a nervous path: "Although the brothers and sisters of Dingguo are not particularly smart people, don't forget that Your Majesty is sincerely loyal to the Duke of Xiang." You play overlord with Xu Jingyuan, don't you want to be good? Or is it intended to implicate your father-in-law? ”
"Since Uncle Zu suggested that I take Miss Xu, it is obvious that I have the acquiescence of His Majesty, which means that His Majesty does not think that I am not worthy of Xu Jingyuan." Ouyang Yuanshui said indifferently, "In this case, if I really have a relationship with Miss Xu, Your Majesty will dispose of me, who will Miss Xu marry?" Even if it is for His Majesty's favor and the family background of the Dingguo Mansion, even if the flowers are ruined, no one will want them, but who is willing to cuckold if they are right and capable? ”
“…… Over the years I have been in the Qinglou, I have seen a lot of men who are not lucky. The girl was silent for a while, and said, "This moment is heart-wrenching and lovely, and the next moment it's not that you haven't seen it, but you are also a leader among them." ”
Ouyang Yuanshui laughed when he heard this, and said: "You were born in the Fengyue Field, is it possible that you still believe that there are many true feelings in this world?" If that's the case, what would be a touching friendship? If it's frequent, then what's so unusual. ”
The girl snorted, raised her chin to the cabinet not far away, and said, "In the small white porcelain bottle over there, the aromatherapy and the wine are all in it...... How to use it yourself, don't drag me into the water. ”
Seeing that this person went over to take it, she asked again, "I heard that in addition to chasing Miss Xu during this time, you are also not innocent with a female gentleman from other places in Zou Mansion?" ”
"Did this rumor spread so quickly?" Ouyang Yuanshui said a little surprised, "It's good that the tigress doesn't come to the fence and doesn't know, otherwise it is estimated that she will kill me." ”
The girl listened to his tone, raised her eyebrows, and said, "You really step on two boats with one foot?" Crazy? Are you really sure you're going to eat Miss Xu? ”
"That female gentleman from out of town is from Jinyiwei." Ouyang Yuanshui took a sip of tea, glanced at her, and said, "Otherwise, what am I so concerned about?" ”
"The people of the Jinyi Guard?" The girl became interested and said, "Over the years, although Your Majesty has rebuilt the Jinyi Guard, many times, it is more customary to ask your father-in-law and a few of them about things. I heard the little chamberlain in front of my father-in-law say that my father-in-law felt that the foreign minister was not as convenient as the inner minister. Moreover, the foreign ministers have wives and children, and often have families or something, and they have too many concerns, where can they be as single-minded as the ministers without distractions to His Majesty? Therefore, we want to keep an eye on the brocade guard...... What have you gained by spending these days with that gentleman? ”
Ouyang Yuanshui said: "If I have a harvest, do I still want to play tricks against Miss Xu?" The female gentleman didn't have any family history when he said it, but the heart that Shen Steallan was looking for was like an iron stone, and he couldn't leave his hands. ”
"Looks like you didn't take advantage." The girl nodded, thoughtfully, "It's the same, you look so merry, but if a serious girl sees it, who doesn't know how far away to go?" That's why Miss Xu is blindly willful and spicy, and His Majesty is willing to just look at her marrying indiscriminately. ”
"It is also the Xu family, if you marry Gaomen again, even if Your Majesty doesn't care about it, you have to give it to the prince to consider in the future." Ouyang Yuanshui said disapprerovingly, "From the very beginning, Your Majesty should have considered Miss Xu's marriage as a poor scholar like me. The Hanmen guarantees that the prestige of the Xu family will not swell because of the marriage, and the identity of the scholar ensures the dignity of the Xu family. I just fit in with it, and I have the face of my uncle, so it's understandable to take advantage of this...... In fact, to be honest, Miss Xu is just a girl in the end, and His Majesty's care for Zhongyu Gong is more on Dingguo Gong. ”
The girl said "um": "But Dingguogong's temper is not much better than his sister, didn't he call the girl from this sleeping flower building to accompany him when he came before?" At that time, several people were tossed very miserably, and they swept his interest because they were too nervous. ”
And he said, "Your lady, show me next time you have a chance." ”
Ouyang Yuanshui agreed, remembered and said, "Speaking of which, you still have a little relationship with her." ”
He explained, "The ancestor of that female gentleman is not from Shandong, and he said that he came here because of the Lan Yu case. It is also a family of blessings, although he was originally uprooted from his hometown, he was also a solid squire in Dongchang Mansion, and lived the life of a slave and a maid. Who knows......"
"Then this Xi family is still a fortune teller." The girl listened to him with no expression after finishing the grievances between the Xi family and the Wen family, and said lightly, "It's better than me who falls into the lowly family, isn't it?" ”
Her ancestors were also affected by the Lanyu case, but they were not as lucky as the Xi family, they were all over the house and sold by female officials.
The children born to the female dependents who were sold by the government are also among the lowly.
Xi Fuwei was born the daughter of a squire, and she was born a prostitute.
The reason why he can be a Qingqi person is nothing more than the affection of the ancestors...... But when people go to tea and cool, that little bit of affection has been passed down to this day, and I don't know how long it can last?
Thinking of this, the girl pursed her lips and asked about the matter: "The matter of opening the river, since the Jinyi guard is charging ahead, let's just watch from the side." But if that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to make any contributions? ”
Without credit, she and that father-in-law do not have a relationship like Ouyang Yuanshui, how can the other party help her get rid of her nationality and get rid of this kind of life when she is inferior to others, not to mention her children?
When the Qing people were working hard for their future, Xi Fuwei had just finished telling Shen Shulan about meeting Ouyang Yuanshui.
Shen Steal Lan was happy to see Emperor Yongle acquiesce to Ouyang Yuanshui and Xu Jingyuan: "Since Your Majesty has no intention of objecting, it is also a good thing that someone can lead Miss Xu, lest she worry about going against us all day long." ”
Xi Fuwei said, "My lord, do we want to help add fire?" ”
"Not necessarily." Shen Weilan shook his head and said, "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own affairs, since Your Majesty has not explained this matter to us, then let's not meddle in our affairs...... After all, we are doing things for Your Majesty, not for the people around Your Majesty. ”
He knew that Xi Fuwei proposed this because he wanted to trap Xu Jingyuan, but Emperor Yongle knew, and he might suspect that Jining's Jinyi Guard Office had colluded with internal officials!
“…… It's a subordinate Meng Lang. Xi Fuwei realized and quickly pleaded guilty.
He also said that he asked Ouyang Yuanshui to help pull Xu Jingyuan, but the other party said that it would be beneficial to cooperate.
Shen Stealing Lan said: "If his request is not excessive, it is not impossible, after all, Song Shangshu will come to Jining in the near future, we have more things to do, and it is always good to save some things." It's up to you to make your own decisions about this kind of small thing. ”
Just as he was saying this, Yu Kedi came in to tell him, saying that the old servant of the Shen family in Tianfu had sent a New Year's gift, and asked Shen Thief if he had summoned him immediately.
Hearing this, Xi Fuwei hurriedly retired.
Not long after she went back, she stayed in the wing room for a long time, and a captain came over and called her over, saying that Shen Steallan wanted to share the New Year's gift from the Shen family to everyone.
This year's gift was prepared by the Shen family for the hearts of Shen Baolan's subordinates, and it was divided into grades according to the identity of the general flag, small flag, and school captain, Xi Fuwei thought that she was about the same as the school captain at most, but who knew that she gave the small flag.
And the old servant who gave out the New Year's gift also deliberately glanced at her a few more times.
After going out, Yu Kedi came over and told her: "That old servant is one of the stewards of the Shen Mansion, and he was specially sent by Mrs. Zhang. Originally, the general flag said that people came from afar and worked hard, so it was better to let us share a point ourselves. But the old servant refused, and now it seems that he probably wants to take the opportunity to take a look at you. ”
"Where do I have that weight? Maybe it's because people are diligent in their duties? Xi Fuwei smiled faintly, but she was a little up and down in her heart, because she was worried that after Song Jianiang returned to Yingtianfu, she would talk to the Shen family and make the Shen family have a bad impression of herself...... Although it is said that the New Year's gift just now is at the level of Xiaoqi, who knows whether people have good intentions or bad intentions towards her in their hearts?
Thinking so, she shoved the things into Yu Kedi's hand, "I'm alone, I don't have a place to put these things, if you don't dislike it, it's better to take it back." Just when I paid tribute to my godmother in advance. ”
Yu Kedi was reminded of the matter of recognizing his godmother, smiled and caught it, and said, "I'll go back and discuss with my mother and set a good day." ”
Xi Fuwei went back empty-handed, and when she entered the door of the Moon Cave, she saw two little maids walking towards Xu Jingyuan's house with a lot of rouge gouache and other things.
They came in from outside, and several of the boxes still had the logo of the Cuique Fang where Xi Fuwei had been.
She immediately thought of the words "women are those who please themselves", and estimated that Ouyang Yuanshui coaxed Xu Jingyuan well, so that this willful and rude eldest lady actually dressed up for this person.
Xi Fuwei sneered in her heart, but she couldn't help but think of Wen Xianyun.
Of course, it is not the marriage contract between melancholy and Wen Xianyun, but I feel that the old saying that people should not be good-looking, which is really the truth.
