Chapter 365: Wives and Concubines and Favors
Sanpin Commandment...... Lady?
Pan was stunned for a moment. When she married Qian Ning, although Qian Ning was already the adopted son of Qian Neng, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, there was more than one adopted son under the old immortal eunuch, so she didn't have a good day. Qian Ning is kind to 100 households in Jinyiwei, but how much food does a hundred households have, and she is already tightly fed for her wife and children, from doing needlework to washing clothes, where is there any dignity of an official's wife? It is said that the wives of the hundred households should also be a high-grade foreign wife, but the hereditary hundred households of the imperial court do not know how many, and most of them are often difficult to rise for life.
After a long time, Pan stammered and said, "Uncle, what did you say...... What you say is true? ”
"Since Qian Ning has entered the vanguard commander of the Zhengsanpin Mansion Army, of course I will seal your Sanpin Lady's edict next, this wife is originally the rule of the imperial court by virtue of her husband, how could I deceive you?" Speaking of this, Xu Xun glanced at Qian Ning unhappily, "Such a big matter, I don't make it clear to my sister-in-law!" When is it, hurry up and clean yourself up, wait for the newcomer to enter the door, and give you and your sister-in-law tea ceremony, there are other guests outside! ”
As soon as he said this, Qian Ning hurriedly slipped inside to wash his face and dress up again. At this time, Xu Xun beckoned Ma Qiao to come over, and saw this guy moving his steps forward, he didn't know that Ma Qiao was afraid that he would scold him for standing by, but he just glared at him fiercely, and then said lightly: "Since you are here to congratulate you, this wedding wine can't be drunk in vain, clean up and arrange it inside and outside, and if there are not enough people in the Qian family, go outside to ask someone to help, and you treat him like this boss?" ”
Seeing Ma Qiao nodding like a chicken pecking rice, and turned around to leave, Xu Xun stopped the person again and reminded in a low voice: "Go and give them all a wake-up call, the little Hou is already outside." ”
In the avant-garde of the government army, the three words of the little marquis are simply as effective as a holy decree. Ma Qiao's face turned white, and his thoughts about seeing the excitement flew out of the clouds, and when he turned around and ran back, his steps were a little staggering. As he spoke, the officers immediately assigned their own tasks, but it only took a moment to clean up the messy yard. And while Zhu Houzhao hadn't come in yet, Xu Xun beckoned Qian Ning's son to come over, and learned that his nickname was Ah Mao and his big name was Qian Jin, and he couldn't help but laugh for a while.
"Uncle, he is all poor and afraid, so he is given such a common name." Pan Shi had completely suppressed Xu Xun's style, and hurriedly explained, and then said before he wanted to speak, "The lady you just said is ......."
"What I said is true, but if you make a fuss, your man will be angry and do something impulsive, such as divorce his wife......" Seeing Pan's face suddenly turned like earth, Xu Xun knew that the heat was almost over, so he said kindly, "Of course, if he dares to do this, I will be the first to spare him!" His sister-in-law has suffered so much with him, and now of course he should enjoy the blessings of his wife and husband and find a good future for his son. As for the newcomers who are going to enter the door today, you might as well relax yourself. Do you have a fate, but are you afraid that you will not have confidence? ”
Pan finally came to her senses, her eyes were red and she was about to kneel down to Xu Xun, but after eating Xu Xun and helping her up, she hurriedly kowtowed to Xu Xun according to her son Qian Jin on the side. Seeing Xu Xun smiling and helping up the little guy, and touching a small gold coin as a greeting gift, she felt more and more that the young boss of her own man was reasonable and understanding, so when Xu Xun asked her to go in and dress up well, don't let the newcomer compare, she didn't want to say yes, and hurriedly returned to the house with the money.
As soon as he settled here, Zhu Houzhao had already swaggered into the courtyard with people. Seeing the shabby appearance in the four places, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xu Xun and said, "The third-grade commander who was just sealed lives here?" ”
"You also know that it was just sealed, even if you reward the silver, where will you prepare the house so quickly in a while and a half?"
Zhu Houzhao looked around, and his face became more and more annoyed: "I knew that I would give him a mansion!" ”
"Your Majesty, it's easy to say, you originally planned to give Lord Xu a mansion, but the Hubu Shangshu Hanwen cried all the time, and in the end, it wasn't Lord Xu who took the initiative to not want it, so it was stopped? Lord Xu didn't even get it, let alone Qian Ning! Zhang Yong seized the opportunity to take eye medicine, and when he saw that Zhu Houzhao was really stupid, he gave Xu Xun a proud look, and then he pretended to sigh and said, "Hey, but this place is really too narrow, and there will not even be a place to sit for a banquet at that time." ”
Zhu Houzhao frowned as he listened, and the more Xu Xun listened, the more he felt that Zhang Yong had something to say, so he had to gently pull his sleeve and ask in a low voice, "What the hell are you messing with?" ”
"Hey, it's not brilliant to say this, you just wait and see the show!"
Seeing Zhang Yong's appearance of selling off, Xu Xun thought that nothing big would happen, so he was happy to stand by and watch. After a while, Qian Ning, who was dressed in a new outfit, finally came out of the house, and now the messy fat powder on his face was gone, and the person was cleaned up neatly. And Pan Shi also quickly took Qian Jin out, she deliberately applied cold water to her eyes and smeared some fat powder, and put on the best gold clothes in Pingyue, and loosely tied her hair in a bun, which looked a little charming, even Qian Ning didn't expect that the evil woman just now would become like this, and she was a little stunned for a while.
Just when Qian Ning came back to his senses and hurried to salute Zhu Houzhao, and explained that he had set up four tables in the nearby Fuyun Building, and when everyone was invited to eat and drink, the crackling firecrackers finally sounded outside, followed by a young officer running in with a cigarette, and shouted loudly: "Here, here, newcomer is here!" ”
The young officer was one of the hundred households in the avant-garde of the government army, and he had just been laughed at and picked a sedan chair waiting for the newcomer on the street, but somehow he didn't notice Xu Xun and his party, and then he shouted that he saw Xu Xun first when he entered the door, and then recognized Zhu Houzhao, and he was stupid there all of a sudden. Just when he squirmed his lips and was about to call out the emperor, Ma Qiao next to him finally stopped him in time.
"The newcomer is here, hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise how can you let Lord Qian pick up the hijab!"
If there was no Zhu Houzhao, the little emperor, who was present, Qian Ning would definitely be very excited about this moment of hugging the beauty, but when he saw the woman wearing a hijab and a pink gown enter the door, he felt a little nervous. Especially at the moment when Zhu Houzhao reached out to remove his head under the urging of the left and right, his hands even trembled a little. At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door.
"It's a great day, I'm not too late!"
Xu Xun looked back in amazement, and when he saw that it was Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, he was stunned. Catching a glimpse of Zhang Yong's knowing look, he couldn't help but bump his elbow over: "This is what you said waiting to see the show?" ”
"That's, I knew that Bao Guogong had put someone to watch at the door of your house, and today I deliberately raised my voice at the door of your house and said that Qian Ning's house is shabby, why wouldn't he come? Someone else paid Qian Ning to change the house, but the favor is yours, what could be more beautiful than this? ”
"Lao Zhang, I thought I was the most calculating, but I didn't expect you to be more calculating than me!"
"We are poor people, how can we not learn to break a penny in half and spend it!"
The two of them were muttering here, but Zhu Hui had already come in. When he saw Zhu Houzhao, he was slightly stunned, and then he used the title of Zhu Gongzi very decently to prevaricate, which eased Zhu Houzhao's originally somewhat unsightly face. Immediately after, Zhu Hui smiled and asked his entourage to hand over a brocade box.
"Qian Ning, this time you can make great contributions with Pingbei Bo and return with a beauty, which can be said to be a good story of heroes and beauties. I, the coach who got nothing, don't have anything good to congratulate you on this happy event, this is a three-entry courtyard in Fucaifang Handkerchief Hutong, and I gave it to you. You are already a three-product commander, and in the future, the population of the family will increase, what will you say about nesting in this place again? I've already laid out the place, and after you've saluted here, let's go and see the new house!" ”
Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, actually took the initiative to admit that he had nothing this time, and sent such a rare congratulatory gift, everyone around him was stunned for a while, as the party concerned, Qian Ning looked at the brocade box sent to him, and he didn't accept it, and he didn't accept it, so he could only use his eyes to steal Xu Xun and Zhu Houzhao. Seeing that Xu Xun was just smiling, Zhu Houzhao frowned for a while and pondered for a while, and he couldn't help coughing dryly: "Baoguo Gong is so generous, how can he be embarrassed to be humble......
"Since Baoguo Gong is so kind, you can accept it!"
Xu Xun opened his mouth with a smile and glanced at Qian Ning again. At this time, Qian Ning, who was already itching, saw that Zhu Houzhao had no intention of stopping him, and he was finally relieved, and hurriedly took the things in his hand and thanked him repeatedly. And Zhu Hou took care of Qian Ning and took the things, and said with a smile: "Baoguo Gong has a heart. ”
The little emperor couldn't hear much joy and anger when he said this, but there was no annoyance on his face after all, Zhu Hui's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly smiled: "There is such a brave general under his command, and it is also a blessing for me, a commander of the army, so naturally I should come to congratulate him." Of course, if there is a young hero like Ping Beibo, it is not only my blessing, but also the blessing of the Ming Dynasty. ”
This ** naked flattery made Xu Xun's ears itch a little, but it seemed to have an appetite for Zhu Houzhao. He tilted his head and looked at Zhu Hui for a long time, and finally accepted this statement, nodded and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, since all the guests have arrived, let's quickly remove the hijab and see what kind of beauty has fascinated our heroes!" ”
With the words of the little emperor, Qian Ning finally did not hesitate any longer, and took the scale rod to pick up the gold hijab in front of everyone. When he saw the beautiful face below, Rao was the color he had seen He Cailian before, and he was also very excited at this moment, not to mention the series of exclamations and admiration around him, which made him can't help but flutter.
"Yes, yes, you're a bit blessed!" Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, then took two steps back, giving up the place to the young officers who were scrambling to catch a glimpse. Seeing that Xu Xun also retreated, he whispered to him, "Pretty is beautiful, but it's a little more gaudy, compared to the beauty in Tang Yin's painting before, it's still a little less...... Oh, it's not as beautiful as Sister Shen! ”
Listening to the emperor's last nondescript words, Xu Xun couldn't help but laugh. The little girl is still young and has not yet fully grown, if she wants to say that she is beautiful, she is naturally not as good as He Cailian, he just needs to look at it himself; As for Tang Yin's picture of a beauty, this is not as clear and vivid as the photos of later generations, Zhu Houzhao was stunned to feel that a painting was more beautiful than the living He Cailian, so was it in the eyes of the lover, or something else? He agreed too quickly at that time, and he almost forgot what the painting looked like, and vaguely remembered that it was a woman with an umbrella and escorting a child across the bridge......
