Chapter 912: Boiling Ding (II)

When Kong Jiao woke up, she found that her husband was no longer around. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

She couldn't help but reproach herself, as a concubine, she was educated by her parents and women since she was a child, and she had to get up early to serve her husband's daily life, how could she sleep later than him?

In fact, even when he was away, Zhao Wuxian slept very lightly, never fell in love with the bed, he got up before dawn, sat in the outer study, curled up in the candlelight, and selflessly read the old bamboo slips or new paper books - reading, which is also the common hobby of Kong Jiao and her husband. He would also take advantage of the morning glow and go out for a walk accompanied by the Yulin guards until he was attracted back by the sweet rice porridge boiled by Kong Jiao.

According to him, the reason why he got up so early was because it kept him from slacking off in the gentle country, and the morning light also helped people to think about things.

What exactly was he thinking? From Zhao Wuxian's deep gaze, Kong Jiao couldn't see why, but her woman's intuition told her that she would never want to know.

After eating the morning meal, Zhao Wuxian suddenly announced that he would take her into the Wei Palace and participate in the reception banquet prepared for him by the Wei Hou.

"I'm afraid it's not suitable for the concubine to go...... Kong Jiao was startled, and the scarves in her hands were twisted together. In the eight years since marrying into the Zhao family, she has been a low-key concubine, although she has participated in a lot of banquets, but every time she exists as Le Lingzi, or Ji Huan's foil, eating a little food silently, listening to others obediently, and easily not speaking, because her mother once told her that if you say too much, you will lose, and listening is more important, listening to her husband, listening to others, and listening to her own children in the future.

"What's out of place? I will feast and drink with the Marquis of Wei and the Doctor of the Secretary of State, and you will also eat with the Lady of the Marquis and the Lady of the Secretaries of the Queens of the Palace, which is something to be accustomed to. Zhao Wuxian didn't care at all, anyway, the time he spent in Puyang was just one day, just defend the country, these nobles who are about to wither, just deal with it at will.

Kong Jiao couldn't refuse.

"Is that really good?" On the carriage to the palace, wearing appropriate clothes, Kong Jiao hugged her daughter and asked herself in an uncertain tone.

But her eyes were soon drawn to the richly decorated palace rooms of the Patriotic Palace.

Since Wei Yigong died in Di Ren and Wei Wengong moved to Diqiu, it has been more than 150 years and has been passed down for nine generations. Although the country is now being stripped away day by day, and the territory is only two-thirds of what it used to be, it is considered a small country, but after all, it has been established for so long, and the buildings in the palace are still very majestic and gorgeous. In addition, this generation of Weihou has been building a lot of construction in recent years, so everywhere Kong Jiao's eyes look, but he sees high platforms, sparse pavilions, and even buildings.

The palace digs the soil and digs the pond, plants the wood for the forest, the spring breeze sweeps through the pond forest, brushes the face, is extremely warm, and brings the fragrance of flowers in the garden, the beast in the beast room. In the upstairs of the platform in the distance, and in the roadside corridor nearby, you can see from time to time the temple people and maids wearing silk clothes and walking on silk shoes are also luxurious and beautiful, one by one holding objects and walking, and when they see their cars, they bow down and salute.

Kong Jiao was a little shocked, not shocked by the prosperity of this place, but shocked by the fact that the people's livelihood outside the country was so withered, and it turned out that the wealth was concentrated here!

This is completely contrary to Yecheng's purpose of "hiding wealth from the people", and she can't accept it.

With so much energy and wealth, shouldn't you be like Yecheng, build more water conservancy ditches, build more Mengxue Township Communities, and train a few more doctors who save people?

She couldn't figure it out, and unconsciously, Kong Jiao was born out of Confucius's educational thinking, and had been assimilated a lot by Zhao Wuxian and Yecheng, and many normal things in the world had become pathological alienation in her opinion......

The carriage and horse went straight along the avenue in the palace, passed through the hall and courtyard, and came to the outside of the main hall, where the Marquis of Wei had already led his ministers to greet him.

At that time, in the eyes of Kong Jiao, Sanhuan was already the richest and strongest existence in Lu State, and now, she finally clearly realized that the status and glory of the secretary of the real country are by no means comparable to the small family like Sanhuan.

Wei Hou is a dignified monarch of a country, but when he sees Zhao Wuxian, he has to spread a smile, his attitude is humble, and everyone who defends the country is respectful. After all, Wei Guo was beaten the most ruthlessly by the Zhao army in the past few years, and Zhao Ying would loot every time he crossed the border, and the elusive cavalry was even more like entering a no-man's land, and the residual power of Zhao Wuxian's breakthrough of the emperor's city wall still remained in their hearts.

Zhao Wuxian is like a group of stars holding the moon, surrounded by the marquis of Wei and the ministers to go to the main hall, he is the protagonist of today. Kong Jiao glanced at her husband helplessly, and then she had to devote all her energy to dealing with the chattering ladies around her.

She is also the protagonist today.

In the etiquette system, it is stipulated that on formal occasions, the wives of Hou and Bo wear Yudi, and the principle of dressing the rest of the women is that the husband is respected in the court, and the wife is honored in the room, and the corresponding life clothes are worn according to the status of the husband, such as the wife of the Qing wears a bow robe, the doctor's wife wears a sandalwood robe, and the wife of a scholar wears a rafter coat, so today Kong Jiao wears a bright yellow bow robe, which is simple and decent.

After entering the side hall, Lu Jiang, the wife of Weihou with thick black hair, smiled and invited her to sit in the VIP seat, Kong Jiao knelt down and sat down after pushing to no avail, carefully pulling the corners of her and her daughter's clothes neatly.

On her left and right were a group of strange powdered women's faces, they were like a group of excited hens, their red lips opening and closing non-stop, making her dizzy, and she could only barely smile, judging the identity of the people around her by the difference in their lives, so as to give appropriate responses.

Those who are qualified to sit next to Kong Jiao are naturally the wives of the Qing family, although the country is declining, but there are many Shiqing, what Shi, Sun, Kong, Beigong, Taishu, Gongshu...... Although Kong Jiao is a little unaccustomed to being the center of the feast, when she was at home in her early years, under the influence of her father's ears, she also cherished the lineage of the Qing family in various countries, so she can cope with it decently.

The Sun family, the Beigong family, the Taishu family, and the Gongshu family are all weakened, only the Kong family and the Shi family are the strongest, among which the wife of the Kong family is Bo Ji, and she is also the sister of today's Wei Hou, she has the best relationship with Mrs. Wei Hou, as for Wei Qing Shipu's wife, she is cold and lonely around her, and her relationship with Lu Jiang is not salty.

But they all have one thing in common, these Weiqing's wives around them all hope to please Zhao Wuxian, the most powerful person in the Central Plains now, through her, so as to make profits for their husbands.

After realizing this, Kong Jiao felt a little complicated, proud of her husband and sad for her father. Her father Confucius also came to Weiguo, just to get a summons from Weihou, but he couldn't reuse it for a long time, except for old friends such as Yan Boyu, these oily nobles of Weiguo have ever looked at him?

On the other hand, Zhao Wuxian, with a single gesture, can make the monarchs and ministers of the country tremble, and even bring himself as a distinguished guest.

Where is my father now? I heard that he was in the distant Chu Country Ye County, but now he sees the same moon as himself?

"You're mistaken, I'm just a concubine." She said in her heart, if Ji Huan and Le Lingzi were there, they would definitely be able to cope with this kind of occasion very well, compared with her inconspicuous little pigeon, they are like phoenixes and peacocks, they are born nobles, noble and elegant.

Kong Jiao closed her eyes and recalled her father's face, which was a little blurry, if her identity was only the daughter of Confucius, not Zhao Wuxian's concubine, now she was afraid that she could only stand outside the hall and chat with those maids holding tableware......

Maybe it's easier that way, you don't have to be pressed by the high temples above your head to make your neck sore, and you can't be involved in a reluctant smile to deal with the endless topics of women. The filthy gossip among the nobles of the patriotic country, the anecdotes thousands of miles away, these things made her drowsy, and she had to take good care of her daughter, so as not to let her eat indiscriminately and spoil her stomach.

The private whispers of more than 100 noble ladies, dozens of delicious meals on the table like flowing water, as well as the performances of dwarfs, advocates, and palace maids, are all sought after. These should have been the things that Cinderella dreams of, but in Kong Jiao's opinion, it is better to read a book in her own small house in Yecheng.

This also made her realize the fact that except for her husband, the rest of the nobles in the world are almost like this...... Vulgar, boring, brain-filled.

The night is getting deeper, the wine is also drunk, the topics at the banquet are becoming more and more presumptuous, more and more explicit, and some people even took Kong Jiao's hand and quietly stuffed her with beautiful jade and pearls, assuring her that her husband is friendly and loyal to the Zhao family, hoping that she can say a few beautiful words by the pillow, those things are held in Kong Jiao's hand sleeve, like hot charcoal.

She sat on pins and needles, but fortunately, there was Fu Mu sent by Zhao Wuxian to take care of them behind her, and there were several vigilant Yulin guards in the distance.

At the same time, among the entourage of Mrs. Kong's wife, Kong Jiao also saw a familiar figure flashing by.

……

finally stayed up until the end of the evening feast, and when Zhao Wuxian also came out slightly drunk to take her back to the pavilion by the canal, in the carriage, for some reason, Kong Jiao grabbed his arm and hugged him tightly.

Zhao Wuxian didn't notice the subtle changes in her heart, just patted her slightly cool hand and said that it was hard work.

His mind is still on the news that he "inadvertently" revealed to Wei Hou Kuai Shen tonight, presumably Kuai Yu will be sleepless tonight, and Wei Guo's mouth is about to boil Dading, and it will definitely be very lively next!

The gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, Zhao Wuxian decided to set off immediately tomorrow, go to the country of Lu, in the city of Xilu Yun, safely observe the coming great changes, and wait until everything settled, and then come back to scoop this delicious soup......

"Husband." Kong Jiao hugged him tightly and whispered.

"What?"

"Before, in Mrs. Kong's entourage, the concubine saw an acquaintance."

Zhao Wuxian turned his head and saw the glint in her eyes, "Who is it?" ”

"It's Senior Brother Zilu, and he is also defending the country......"
