Chapter 97: Crisis (9)
Pei Hui's mansion is located on the side of Wannian County in Xuanyang Mansion, is the ancestral home of Pei's family, in the Wu Dynasty, once because of the anger of the empress, was briefly collected, and later the Tang Dynasty restored, and sent back to them, in addition to Pei Hui and his wife, there are also his clan brothers, but the biological mother Yang Yuyao, has her own residence.
To say that the residence, that is, the Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu, is still a bit legendary, or it is an anecdote in Beijing.
That big mansion was originally the old mansion of Wei Sili, and the Wei family is also a big family, the most famous is the strange wife of the former Emperor Zhongzong, who united with her daughter Princess Anle to poison her husband and wanted to emulate Empress Wei of Emperor Wu.
The house occupies a wide area, and the sons of the Wei family have lived for many years, and one afternoon, they were resting and chatting in the hall, when they suddenly saw a beautiful woman wearing a yellow Luo shirt, and she walked down from the chariot by herself, with dozens of maids and maids in colorful clothes, talking and laughing and laughing, and said to them in the stunned expressions of everyone.
"I smell this house, what is the price?"
Seeing her momentum, everyone didn't dare to slack off, and they all lowered their steps to greet her, and the leader of the house explained.
"The ancestors of the old house, showing forbearance." It means that we don't sell it for any amount of money.
The beautiful woman was not annoyed, she stood there with a smile, and looked around with interest, but as soon as the other party's words fell, hundreds of craftsmen rushed in from outside the house, carrying ladders, tools, ropes, and climbed up the wings of the east and west compartments, and began to dismantle the tiles on the roof in front of their eyes. Even the house number has been changed to the Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu.
Yang Yuyao is so domineering.
And her son Pei Hui is much inferior, he has no reputation in the capital, and he is not mixed with an arrangement such as four uniques and four evils, so he is blind to such a domineering mother.
His wife is the seventh daughter of the crown prince Li Heng, Li Yan, the lord of Yanguang County, when this wife married him, she was just in time, and he was exactly twenty crowned, which can be described as a young couple.
Tang system, the princess has her own mansion, with a horse beard to divide the mansion and live separately, and she can't enter unless she is called, and the county lord is not so noble, although she is the daughter of the prince, it is a matter of time before she is promoted to the princess, but now she can only live with her husband, but there are not so many obstacles, just like the life of a civilian couple, which makes her feel more cordial.
When she got up, the person next to the pillow was gone, there were a few maids kneeling in the inner room, and there were several maids standing outside the door, all of whom she brought from the prince's mansion, and she could be called her own henchmen.
"Where's Lang Jun?"
"I went out early in the morning, saying that there was something lively in the south of the city to see, and I made an appointment with Zhang Langjun, and asked the maid to inform the county lord that there was no need to wait for him to eat at noon."
"Oh, what's so funny?"
Li Yan said lightly, and with the help of the maid, she cleaned her face and washed her hands, groomed and dressed up, and in the slippery bronze mirror, a jade face without powder was reflected, and good nutrition made her face covered with collagen, which looked very delicate and lovely.
Zhang Langjun in the mouth of the maid, named Zhang Qing, is the brother of Zhang Liangdi, the most favored palace man in the prince's mansion, married the fifth daughter of the prince, the county lord of Daning, that is, her brother-in-law, and her husband Pei Hui is brother-in-law.
The maid took an ivory comb, combed her hair carefully, and said the news from her mouth one by one.
"There is a strange woman from Jinchangfang in the south of the city, who is said to be from Qiuzi, although no one has seen her appearance, she is extremely bold in her shot."
"Extravagant?"
Li Yan was slightly stunned, her maid was born in the prince's mansion, although she didn't dare to be extravagant in the mansion, but if she had no knowledge, how could it be possible, not to mention, this Pei Mansion is also famous for luxury in the capital, because her mother-in-law, the Tang people call aunt.
It is Yang Yuyao, the wife of the country.
It can be said that the only one who can be called arrogant in front of Mrs. Yuguo may be the son of heaven and the concubine in Xingqing Palace.
The maidservant seemed to know his intentions, lowered her head, and whispered in her ear.
"This woman's style can be said to be like a waste of money, and the chariot she rides in is made of eight pure white horses, and the carriage is extremely wide, and I heard that she sits on it, without any worries about bumps, and as for those furnishings, what tortoiseshell, pearls, peppercorn, and dragon incense abound, all of which are rare goods that money can't buy."
"That's not all, the ordinary fragrant soup bath, it turned out to be a good mountain spring that was booked for a hundred yuan a car, and the flowers in a village outside the city were also packaged, those flowers were all raised by the earth fire, and the bamboo charcoal spent every day did not know how much it costed."
"Really...... Tyrannical creatures. Li Yan listened to it for a long time, and could only come up with such a description, looking at the well-made fake flowers in front of her, she suddenly lost interest.
"It's not much, everyone says that this woman, I'm afraid I don't understand, the truth that is too sharp and easy to break, but at the moment, no one knows her origin, I only heard that she has something to do with the Qiuzi royal family, and although she is extravagant, she has never flaunted the market, but no one has made up her mind."
"Zuo is just a woman who leans on the building and laughs, so she can raise her own value." Li Yan herself doesn't understand, where did this slight acid come from, is it because her own Langjun is flocking to it? Leave her bedside early in the morning.
"The maid heard that she doesn't entertain guests, and recently bought a mansion and has been renovating it, Lang Jun and the others are just going to see what kind of tricks there will be."
"Hmph, fox."
Li Yan believed in her own judgment even more, she must have other plans to show off her wealth in such a high-profile manner in the capital, otherwise she would have been taken away by someone early on.
The identity of a Qiuzi person is far from sheltering.
The maid didn't say anything more, but reminded her softly when she finished dressing up.
"Master Zhizhou, but you still have to make offerings and add oil?"
"Didn't you say that I forgot it, and it was time again?" Li Yan subconsciously touched her stomach, where it was always flat, and there was no joy.
"It's the end of the year in a blink of an eye."
"It's going to be prepared, where is the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, but in Jinchangfang?"
"The county lord has a good memory, exactly."
"Then I won't go, you send someone to talk to the teacher, and I'll come to the door another day to be taught."
When Li Yan heard the three words of Jin Changfang, she immediately dispelled the idea of going out, she didn't want to have any unexpected encounter with her husband, thus disturbing his thoughts.
