Chapter 476: On the Ability to Chase Women
Duanwangfu
On the seventh day of the first month of March, King Duan specially invited the most popular troupe in the capital to hold a birthday banquet for his little wife who had just married into the palace for a few days.
People in the capital are saying that Prince Duan is really good to the princess, a few days ago I saw the prince personally accompany the princess to Linglong Pavilion to choose jewelry, at the beginning of this month, people also found that the two held hands and went to the temple fair in a low-key manner, it can be seen that King Duan and the princess are newly married Yan'er, and they are in love, which makes countless young people yearn for a while.
As for Princess Duan, everyone knows that she is the first beauty in the capital, beautiful and beautiful, and all men in the world love her.
At this moment, the door of Duanwang's Mansion was very lively, and the carriages at the door lined up in a long line, and the city guards had to be dispatched to maintain order.
If you want to let go of the usual times, the emperor will definitely have an opinion on King Duan's extravagant behavior, but as we all know, this time he held a birthday banquet for his own princess, what can the emperor blame, blame their husband and wife for being too affectionate?
"Tsk, look at this scene...... It is said that after King Duan became a prince, he was fascinated by the princess, and he didn't believe it at first, but now that he looks at it, the field is big enough. A carriage lined up in the middle, and as it waited, a chuckling tease came from from it.
Inside the carriage, Xiao Hongmei lifted the curtain and looked at it, and said casually: "After a man gets married, he always looks more stable. ”
Lin Yuanxiu twisted a piece of pastry in his hand into crumbs, and pursed his lips with a little disdain: "Do you believe that dogs can change their habit of eating?" ”
Xiao Hongmei sighed and turned around: "The next time you mention this word when I am eating, I will kick you out of my house." ”
Lin Yuanxiu, a wild girl who grew up in the mountains, and Mrs. Chu, who has been a protector of the mansion for many years, can't change her occasional vulgar words.
"Meimei, you are in my family's carriage today." Lin Yuanxiu leaned over and winked at Xiao Hongmei.
Xiao Hongmei pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm old, and I can't die properly." ”
"Bah, don't mention the word death to me in the future." Lin Yuanxiu shook his fingers, the pastry crumbs on them were shaken off, his upper eyelids rolled, and said, "What did you scare us like that day, Yan Xun almost went with you." ”
Xiao Hongmei sighed, remembering that she was suddenly slashed at that time, she didn't even react, so she fainted in pain and woke up again, as if she was in another world.
Lin Yuanxiu leaned over and hooked his arm around Xiao Hongmei's neck, "Na, Meimei, let young people rush to the front when you encounter dangerous things in the future, we with old arms and legs must not give young people a chance to move their muscles and bones." ”
"Don't waste pastries if you don't eat them." Xiao Hongmei flicked away Lin Yuanxiu's fingers that pinched her cheeks, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it for Lin Yuanxiu, thinking back to the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, her brows furrowed: "I don't know how many people died overnight." ”
Lin Yuanxiu shook his hand, shook his head and said, "Fortunately, you are lying on the bed, this kind of thing is still forgotten, it's better not to know." ”
The streets were covered with blood and water locked on the road by ice, and they could not be removed for three days and three nights, so that people could pass by again after a month, as if they could still smell the blood of that night. The corpses were carried one by one by the mighty city guards to the outside of the city and burned collectively, and the mourning team shook the heavens and the earth, and the sadness infected the sky above the capital, and the resentment did not dissipate for a long time.
"The time chosen by King Duan is just right, with a happy event to dilute the sorrow of the city, plus today's banquet, everyone knows that he regards the princess as his life." Xiao Hongmei brushed the sigh in her heart, and the topic returned to today's protagonist.
The carriage rolled slowly, moved with the team in front, and when they arrived at the gate of the palace, the people of Duanwangfu saw the carriage sign of the Huguo Mansion from a distance, and someone immediately came to pick them up, and several carriages next to them automatically avoided them, so Lin Yuanxiu and they finally entered the Duanwangfu smoothly.
After the first layer of doors, Lin Yuanxiu and Xiao Hongmei got out of the carriage, and they separated from Chu Wangzhi and Yan Xun who were riding horses, and were led by the housekeeper to the courtyard where the female dependents were resting.
On the way, the housekeeper walked in front, separated from them by a lot of distance, Lin Yuanxiu looked at the beautiful flowers in his eyes, and there was some interest in his eyes, and then he continued the topic in the carriage: "It's so noisy, it seems that it is really more than Jin Jian, thinking that someone has forgotten the scene at the winter solstice garden party." ”
Xiao Hongmei raised her chin in the direction of Lin Yuanxiu's housekeeper in front of her, you are not afraid of people hearing it.
Lin Yuanxiu tilted his head slightly and tapped his eyes with his fingers - with my eyesight, I can still make mistakes, I must not be able to hear before I dare to say out loud that the master is right and wrong. Reading.com
Xiao Hongmei was a little helpless, and said openly and honestly in other people's homes, and Lin Yuanxiu did it, "You see that there are real flowers and fake flowers next to you, and there are a few people who care, where can you take care of others, or take care of your identity as Mrs. Chu." ”
"What's wrong with Mrs. Chu? Hmph, I don't even have a daughter-in-law, it's not interesting! Lin Yuanxiu thought of this, the hateful teeth in his mouth were itching, and his upper and lower teeth rubbed and said: "Stinky boy, I asked him to find Zhou Qinzhu, he ran so far to Jingnan for me, I thought that the whip was beyond reach, right, when he comes back, I will reward a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots." ”
Xiao Hongmei said with a smile: "You think Chu Feng can't beat you." "It's not that for the sake of my own mother, I deliberately teased her.
Speaking of Zhou Qinzhu, Xiao Hongmei said again: "Don't embarrass that child, fate is determined, what he is asking for is opportunity, since he has no intention of going back to give the Zhou family some benefits to Miss Zhou, it is over." "Originally, Chu Feng was right, he didn't save people but made people rely on him, but then Fang Xin did something wrong, but it put the Chu family in a dilemma, which made things not easy to do, "Doesn't the Zhou family have a son who wants to take a career in office, why don't I ask Zi Zhan to find an errand in the army......"
Without waiting for Xiao Hongmei to finish speaking, Lin Yuanxiu stopped and said: "Don't you, I have seen Zhou Qinzhu's cousin, what can a thin arm and thin leg become, besides, there is that kind of mother's ......."
Xiao Hongmei thought about it, although she was reluctant, but Fang Xin was her niece, and there was no reason to make the people of the Chu family suffer, "There are also civilian positions in the army." ”
"Meimei, you don't have to think about it, I've thought about it." Lin Yuanxiu grabbed Xiao Hongmei's arm, whispered to her, and said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon, Shaoqing said that this time Beidi and Xiliang may each send a princess to come." ”
Xiao Hongmei raised her eyebrows slightly: "Harmony? ”
The corners of Lin Yuanxiu's mouth rose: "So, when the time comes, I will give a job to send my relatives to the officer, and I can be promoted when I come back, do you see if it's good." ”
Xiao Hongmei's eyes slowly turned, shook her head and laughed silently: "Mrs. Tuesday doesn't know whether to be grateful to you or hate you." ”
With Mrs. Tuesday's mood as a precious son, whether it is Xiliang or Beidi, how can it take more than half a year to go back and forth, the road is dangerous and unpredictable, and there is also the water and soil unsuitable, etc., maybe something will happen, how can Mrs. Tuesday be willing, but if the relationship goes smoothly, it is also a merit for the officer, and there are traces to follow.
"I'm going to solve two things in one go." Lin Yuanxiu spread the back of his right hand on his left palm and patted it, hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "It's a pity that Miss Zhou is a pity, but she has scheming and backbone." "A woman's scheming is not necessarily hateful, if she calculates on the good, it may be regarded as a shining point on her body.
Xiao Hongmei bowed her head and said, "Speaking of which, Miss Zhou is more suitable for the Chu family than Sugar Pills. She is talking about the Chu family, not Chu Feng, because the Chu family needs a hostess who has the ability and skill, but with Chu Feng's casual and wanton personality, she will definitely not stick to the little thoughts in the back house, and she will definitely not like a woman who calculates those things all day long.
"Sugar Pill, how cute." Lin Yuanxiu laughed, laughed a little louder, attracted the attention of the former housekeeper, and looked back at it, Lin Yuanxiu didn't hide it, and simply let go of the conversation and said: "Who knew that stinky boy ran away to Jingnan, and almost lost the sugar pills, and made this vigorous and earth-shattering move, which really has the style of his mother and me." ”
Xiao Hongmei originally thought that Lin Yuanxiu would be criticized like this, but she didn't expect that in the end, the conversation would change...... Boasted? She pursed her smiling lips and poked Lin Yuanxiu with her fingers, and said, "You are proud." ”
"That's natural, Mei Mei, didn't I say it, in terms of chasing women, your family Yan is far behind." Lin Yuanxiu's eyebrows danced, and there was a kind of pride in his bones.
The two walked further, and one after another saw people wandering outside, so they stopped talking, and were polite to everyone, just about the decoration of the palace, the love of the prince and the princess, and said a few innocuous words.
Today's weather is warm, many ladies choose the small pavilion near the water, sit in it by the wind and the willows, look at the blue waves and clear water in the lake, there is some freehand style.
Lin Yuanxiu and Xiao Hongmei naturally sat together, and after a few polite words, the two of them chose a place by the window, and next to them sat Mrs. Liu Yushi and Mrs. Chao Zhen of Dali Temple.
They are all familiar with each other, of course, they are close to each other in the past, everyone eats refreshments and tries to pick out some interesting words, on this occasion, no one will deliberately mention some bad words.
When the tea had passed three times, almost everyone had arrived, Lin Yuanxiu's eyes swept away, and he saw two figures hurriedly walking in, he was in a hurry, his hair was still a little messy, his eyes were down, and the corners of his clothes were still a little wrinkled.
Lin Yuanxiu held the teacup and glanced at Xiao Hongmei, and with the help of the tea bowl to block her lips, she lowered her voice and said, "Oh, look at the ...... mother and daughter of the Shen family."
Xiao Hongmei turned her head and happened to meet Mrs. Shen, the other party nodded at her, Xiao Hongmei nodded back, and soon the other party greeted the other ladies, and by the way, she took her daughter to sit in an empty position.
Xiao Hongmei's eyelashes pressed down, and she blew into the teacup, and said to Lin Yuanxiu at the same volume: "Mrs. Shen seems to have cried before going out." Although those eyes tried their best to hide them, and they were also covered with thick fat powder, they still couldn't hide the few red blood under their eyes.
