068 Lu Jing
The Yin family left, and Mrs. Pei ordered someone to soak a bowl of gastrodia water.
Pei Jinyao waited on the side and whispered comfortingly: "Grandmother, your body is important. No matter what she says, don't take it to heart. I am a divine envoy of His Majesty's entitlement, and it is not something that their Yin family can call at will. ”
Old Madam Pei patted the back of Pei Jinyao's hand, "Good boy." I'm angry with myself. I think if I could have gone out and had a lot of trouble with your grandfather. Your uncle will not marry this scourge back. ”
Pei Jinyao waited for Mrs. Pei to finish drinking the gastrodia water, and helped her pat her back again.
"This birthday wine in the Marquis of Changchun is not easy to eat." Old Madam Pei leaned on the big pillow, "I won't hide it from you until now." Sister Zhu is afraid that she wants to get you and Brother Jing together. ”
Pei Jinyao was not the slightest surprised, "I know." ”
Mrs. Pei looked at her little granddaughter for a long time, and smiled with satisfaction, "Then what do you think?" ”
Pei Jinyao raised her face and asked seriously: "Grandmother is reluctant to let the eldest sister marry into the Yin family, if she is willing, let her marry Yin Jing." ”
"What's not to be willing to. Sister Zhu's heart is higher than the sky, but she doesn't want to think about whether she has that rich life and whether she can afford it. The Liao family's family affair is excellent. Sister Zhu is not blessed. Old Madam Pei waved her hand weakly, "Forget it." With her temperament, it's better not to harm the Liao family. Wait until I consult with your uncle. Marry Sister Zhu to the Yin family. The two of them are always restless. After all, you and Sister Wan still have to say goodbye. It's not worth it to make her tired. ”
Pei Jinyao lowered her eyes. She and Pei Jinzhu are just sisters in the next room, and besides, she is a miracle, if she is favored in the future, she can't marry whoever she wants. She doesn't ask for any wealth and glory, she just wants to find someone who is bold and won't be scared to death if she sees a ghost from time to time. It's a pity for Pei Jinwan. That little girl always didn't say much, didn't say much, didn't flatter, hid behind Yin and Pei Jinzhu like a shadow, no one noticed.
"Grandmother's peace of mind is. Sister Wan is a blessed one. ”
Old Madam Pei knew that Pei Jinyao was promising that she would take care of Pei Jinwan, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
……
Mama Wei told Wei what happened in Rongtaiyuan to Wei Shi on the order of Mrs. Pei.
After hearing this, Wei pursed the corners of his lips, secretly hating Yin's mother and daughter for bullying people too much. She ordered to go down and kept an eye on Pei Jinzhu and Yin Jing.
Pei Jinzhu copied the female commandments day and night, and the general copied them twenty times in three days. Pei Jinzhu ordered someone to send it to Rongtai Courtyard to show Mrs. Pei. Rubbing his sore wrist, he called Shuangtao to him, "What has the third sister been busy with lately?" ”
Shuangtao pursed her lips and said, "The third girl will go to the office early in the morning, and the sun will go down at dusk." When I returned to the house, I went to Rongtaiyuan to accompany the old lady to dinner. Catch up with Xiu Mu and don't go anywhere, stay in his own yard to read and write. "She's going to be jealous of Cui Qiao. It is the maid's greatest luck to be able to serve the master who is worry-free.
Pei Jinzhu raised the corners of her eyes and glared at Shuang Tao, "Do you still need to say this?" Who doesn't know? ”
There is nothing unpleasant on the third girl's side. Shuangtao thought for a while, poured beans into a bamboo tube and said, "Mrs. Guan's invitation was sent to the Shenji Division by Prince Kang to the third girl. The sewing room made four sets of summer shirts for the third girl, and the second wife went to the Golden Pavilion to order two sets of heads, a set of diamonds, and a set of rubies, and sent them personally by the shopkeeper Xiao this morning. ”
These things are well known to everyone in the house. It's just that Pei Jinzhu has been immersed in copying the female commandments, and she has no time to pay attention to them. Shuangtao stroked his chest, and secretly said that he shouldn't be chewing the root of his tongue.
Pei Jinzhu's silver teeth clenched, "Good Pei San." She's out now. ”
Isn't that a good thing? The three girls are holding the court money. Shuang Tao poured a glass of honey water for Pei Jinzhu, "Girl, drink some water." The slave rubs your wrist. The day after tomorrow, I will go to the Changchun Marquis Mansion. My wife has already prepared her clothes and accessories, would you like to give it a try? As he spoke, he went to the closet and fetched a stack of clothes.
Pei Jinzhu flipped through it casually, her face gloomy, "I said that the neon dress shop is not as good as the needlework room in the house." Why can't my mother go to the second room to think of a way? My uncle is the overseer of Dongchang, so I don't believe that the second room dares not to give face to my uncle. ”
Shuangtao stood aside silently. She didn't know how many times she had heard that. The emperor is still sitting on the dragon chair steadily. No matter how powerful the governor of Dongchang is, he can't go past his old man. It's the same in the house, the old lady is still there, even if the eldest lady can do it again, she can't make much of a storm.
Pei Jinzhu snorted coldly, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, "I am very familiar with the Marquis Mansion of Changchun, see how I clean her up!" ”
Shuangtao shivered, and cautiously bowed down and didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere.
Pei Jinzhu babbled and complained, and let out the resentment of copying the female commandments in the past few days, and then instructed Shuangtao Yanmo to write a letter to Yin Jing. The day after tomorrow is the birthday banquet, and she can't go out, but she has to explain things to Yin Jing, so as not to make him uncomfortable.
……
On an April day, when the sun is three poles, you can already take off half of your arms and wear a thin shirt. The Seventh Prince, Liu Cheng, sat on his horse, looking back at the long convoy behind him, and his chest was full of pride. On this trip to Ningxia, he must impress his father. With a wave of his eyes, he looked in the direction of Donghua Gate. I couldn't see the small courtyard full of vegetables and fruits through the alleys, but Liu Cheng seemed to smell the fresh smell.
Liu Cheng's hand holding the horsewhip shook. I must have caught a cold last night, and my nose was not good. Looking down at the black steed carrying him, he couldn't help but think of horse manure. Liu Yan bit his lip tightly and thought to himself: Damn Pei Jinyao, I'll settle accounts with you when I come back!
"Changchun Houfu House Porridge ......"
I don't know who shouted. Liu Cheng raised his eyes and looked, and the porridge shed was not far ahead. People poured in from all directions, but there was no confusion.
"Mrs. Guan of the Marquis of Changchun Mansion is 60 years old." Hua Jiu's voice came from the carriage.
Yan Huangyu made a hazy hum with sleepy eyes, and dozed off with the big pillow.
"Sixth brother, you are really, why do you want to go to see a shadow puppet show when you know that you will leave this morning?" Hua Jiu poured him a cup of strong tea, "Drink it quickly, wake up." ”
Yan Huangyu brushed his hand away, "Xiao Ye'er's class is leaving Beijing." I won't be able to come back until the end of the year. If you don't look at it, you will lose. ”
"What a loss, if you don't look at it, you can save money......" Hua Jiu's voice gradually lowered, as if he was complaining that Yan Huangyu shouldn't spend money indiscriminately.
Liu Yan couldn't help but shake his head, Ming Kuang's favorite Yan Liu was a straw bale. If the text is not successful, the martial arts will not be successful. Don't let him drag his feet when he goes to Ningxia this time. Thinking of this, Liu Cheng grabbed the horse's belly, ran ahead, swept past the porridge shed and glanced at the rice porridge that could stand up to the bamboo chopsticks, and then retracted his gaze after only a breath, and shouted: "Hurry up, you have to rush to the accommodation before dark." ”
Most of the cars were carrying winter clothes, medicinal herbs and charcoal. He was accompanied by doctors and physicians from the Tai Hospital, as well as many private doctors. A mighty group of men and horses sped up, kicking up dust and smoke all over the ground.
A gray-clothed Taoist boy was busy covering the porridge bowl with his sleeve, but his face was full of smiles, "Senior brother, the capital is really prosperous." No wonder Master wants to go to the city to have a look. ”
Another Dao boy, who was slightly older than him, didn't speak, but frowned and looked at Lu Jing Zhenren beside him, "Master, the apprentices have inquired clearly." The one just now is the Seventh Prince. Because Pei Shenji's proverb pointed out that there was a disaster in Ningxia, His Majesty appointed the Seven Princes as Qincha and rushed to Ningxia. ”
Lu Jing Zhenren smiled disappreciatively, "What kind of proverb, don't talk nonsense." It's just a small road, and even His Majesty was deceived by her. ”
When the convoy passed, the gray-clothed Taoist boy took a sip of porridge, smashed his mouth, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "It's Zhuozhou rice." People in Beijing use such good rice for porridge? ”
The old housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion in Changchun smiled, "I want to teach this fairy child to know that today is the sixtieth birthday of our wife." When there was a disaster in Ningxia, Mrs. Tai ordered people to give porridge and pray for the blessings of the people of Ningxia. So we use high-quality Zhuozhou rice. Don't dare to slack off. ”
Lu Jing really twisted his beard with his hands, looking like a master, "That little magic envoy is just grandstanding, why would your lady listen to her?" ”
The old butler's face changed slightly. But seeing Lu Jing's real crane hair, with fluttering sleeves, and a flawless white hosta inserted in his hair, he is quite a bit fairy, not like an ordinary character. The old housekeeper didn't dare to speak out, and bowed down to beat a thousand children, "My wife and Pei Shenji have never met, how could they be swayed by Pei Shenji." What's more, Pei Shen's witty words saved the eldest princess of Pingyi, not out of nowhere. ”
The implication is that Pei Shenji is still somewhat capable. Don't slander people at will.
Lu Jing Zhenren raised his finger to the sky, "Pei Shenji can say that it won't rain in the capital before June?" The voice was neither loud nor small, and the people in line to receive the porridge suddenly fell silent.
The spring rain is as expensive as oil, and this year's rain is as expensive as silver beans. Count them one by one. Everyone said that this year is afraid of a bad harvest.
"That's right. There will be a big drought in the capital. Then the locusts raged. Lu Jing's real person looked calm, as if chatting.
It's another big drought and locusts, and the poor harvest is all good.
"That'...... Is the capital going to be plagued? Someone broke the eerie silence.
Immediately the sound of one after another rang out.
"Envoy Pei didn't say that there would be a drought in the capital."
"There are so many medicinal materials shipped to Ningxia, so what should we do?"
"And food! What do we eat without food? ”
"The doctors of the Rejuvenation Hall have all followed, who will quickly chase them back!"
No one moved.
Faces were full of anxiety and unease.
Droughts, locusts, and lack of harvest are frequently mentioned. Even though they were holding a big bowl of porridge boiled with Zhuozhou rice in their hands, their hearts were still unsettled.
"Put away the good rice. Wouldn't it be better to wait until you really need it? ”
I don't know who came up with the solution. There was a lot of noise in the porridge shack. The old butler was both pretentious and explaining. But where are the panicked people willing to listen. The old housekeeper hurriedly assigned the fast-legged servant to return home to report the news. I originally planned to do good deeds, but I didn't expect to call an old Taoist bad thing.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Listen to me, the wife of the Marquis of Changchun is on her birthday, and Pei Shenji must be going, let's go and ask her how is it? ”
If someone has an idea, someone will respond.
"Good! Ask to go! ”
"Bring the Immortal Chief!" The porridge shed was quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on the outside of the porridge shed.
Lu Jingzhen waited there with his apprentices, and said with a smile: "Please lead the way." Poor Dao also wanted to meet Pei Shen's machine for a while. ”
When the old butler heard this, he had to do it. Today is the sixtieth birthday of their wife, and if they cause trouble, they can't afford to pay for the ten heads of their subordinates. The old housekeeper didn't care much, so he took a shortcut and ran to the Hou Mansion.
……
Pei Jinzhu has been raising for two days, and the black green under his eyes has not yet dissipated, and his wrists are also very sore. Even if you rub the medicine and wine, it doesn't work. What made Pei Jinzhu most uncomfortable was that King Kang's son actually sent an invitation to Pei San. What a face. Besides, there are so many talented people in the city, if Pei San is asked to catch it, it will be fine. This time, she must bring Pei San and Cousin Jing together.
Yin Shi held his stomach, the thick fat powder seemed to float on his face, and his eyes showed thick exhaustion. When he saw Wei Shi who was dressed up and Pei Jinyao, who was combed with a bun and Yuxue was cute, Yin immediately cheered up and said with a smile: "Yo, what about the water nourishment of the Shenji Division." Jin Yao is getting more and more smart. ”
The corners of Pei Jinyao's lips curled. After bowing, he stood aside and did not speak.
Pei Jinzhu stepped forward, "I haven't congratulated the third sister on becoming a divine envoy." Untie the gold sachet on the waist of the blessing word, "Let's wear this for the third sister to play." As he spoke, he was going to help Pei Jinyao tie it.
Pei Jinyao took two steps back and saluted, "Thank you, eldest sister." Banxia took it for her and held it in her palm. Pei Jinyao glanced at it lightly, the sachet was embroidered with blessing characters and butterflies on both sides, and the bright color was a little dazzling, which was the kind that Pei Jinzhu usually liked. Pei Jinyao didn't like it, but she still praised casually, "The eldest sister is good at needlework." ”
Pei Jinzhu clenched her veil tightly when she heard this, and when she was about to say something, Mama Wei helped Mrs. Pei turn out of the wall.
Old Madam Pei's gaze swept over Yin's Pei Jinzhu's face, and then landed on the sachet that Banxia was holding. Seeing that Pei Jinyao and Wei's faces were as usual, she didn't ask any more questions, and took Pei Jinyao's hand and got into the carriage at the front.
Pei Jinyao followed, and as soon as Yin stepped on the stepping stool with his stomach up, he heard Mrs. Pei's voice ringing, "The old family's Sister Zhu sits in the car behind." ”
Yin's face turned pale, and he answered, watching Wei Shi pass her and sit beside Mrs. Pei. Mama Wei and Banxia followed the car. She had to get into the second carriage with Pei Jinzhu. The remaining servants crowded into the last car.
With such an arrangement, even the blind can see that Mrs. Pei does not want to see the Yin mother and daughter.
They all sat down, the horses ran slowly, and as soon as they drove out of the alley, Mrs. Pei covered her chest and frowned: "I haven't gone out for a long time, and I'm dizzy in the car." ”
Pei Jinyao hurriedly poured her honey water, and took out a small box containing sour plum strips and pear strips from the dark compartment. Mrs. Pei ate a sour plum strip and drank half a cup of honey before she felt better.
"In a blink of an eye, Zhenniang is sixty. I've known her for over twenty years. Mrs. Pei squinted her eyes and sighed: "This year after year has passed so fast. It's as if I went to Beijing with your grandfather as if it were yesterday. ”
When Pei Xian was alive, he had an excellent reputation. Mrs. Pei is also good-natured, with a dense mouth. Never gossip behind your back. Over time, the wives in the capital loved to associate with her. After that, Pei Tingwen married Yin. Ming Kuang is in charge of the East Factory. There are many people who befriend eunuchs, but even more who disdain to be with them. Most of the people who can walk around with Mrs. Pei have hard bones. Mrs. Pei felt that there was a relative of eunuchs in the family who couldn't raise her head, so she gradually distanced herself from them. Among the few old friends left, there is Mrs. Guan.
As soon as she said two words, Mrs. Pei felt panicked in her chest again, so she closed her eyes to recuperate. Webster and Pei Jinyao snuggled together and whispered.
