Chapter 185: Mid-Autumn Festival
Qingyunhou didn't move, but one of his staff pulled Bo Mingyue: "Seventh prince, you go slowly." What's your idea? ”
Bo Mingyue didn't speak, and glanced at his father.
Qingyunhou sometimes likes him to do this, and sometimes he annoys him to do this. At this time, it is the time to annoy him. Qingyunhou glared at his son and said, "If you want to say it, you can say it." You've been back and forth several times, don't you want to talk to me about it? ”
Bo Mingyue smiled hesitantly and said, "Dad, I'm not pretending, I think that our family's private transfer of the Yulin Army will definitely be unpassable, it depends on how the emperor settles accounts with our family." Instead of being passively beaten, we should take the initiative and arrange for someone to impeach us in advance. We pleaded guilty and were punished, and those cabinet elders felt that it was okay, so it was not good for the emperor to continue to pursue it!
"As for the rest, it's all trivial.
"As long as our family doesn't fall, there will always be a time for reckoning."
Qingyunhou was very proud of having a son like this, but seeing his son's complacent talk, he felt that it was better not to add fuel to the fire, and then glanced at his son with disdain, and then nodded slightly.
As for Chen Luo, he was also thinking about what happened during this time.
His father was unwilling to make him the prince of Zhenguo, so his mother took Shi Zhu's marriage hostage to his father. His father seems to have lost, but after the fall of the Shi family, Shi Zhu has no shelter, just like duckweed in the water, is it not for Chen Ying and his father to deal with?
I'm afraid that's why his father isn't in a hurry!
However, he did not sympathize with Shi Zhu.
What is sown and what is fruitful, if Shi Zhu wants to go to the palace, he must be prepared to be used one day.
Then there is the Bo family, and the matter of Yulin Army cannot be escaped, it depends on how their family copes.
Deal with it well, everyone gives each other a step, and this matter is over. If you don't deal with it well, Marquis Qingyun will be cut down and demoted.
He was more worried about Yu Lin Jun and Jin Wuwei now.
If something like this happened to Yu Linwei, no matter how the emperor dealt with the Bo family, those generals and sergeants of Yu Linwei would definitely gradually transfer or eliminate them, and quietly replace them with those trusted by the emperor. But the emperor gave Jin Wuwei to him to take charge, isn't the emperor afraid that Jin Wuwei will become his private army?
Or did the emperor not want him to sit in this position for a long time, and leave Jin Wuwei before he could cultivate his henchmen?
Chen Luo took a few bottles of wine to meet Shi Lei, who was about to leave Beijing, and the two drank wine in the courtyard with a plate of peanuts and a plate of pig's head meat.
"I don't bother to pay attention to the disputes outside, I just want to get through the past few years in peace." Chen Luo seems to be digging out his heart. "Tell me who is reliable. You have been in Jin Wuwei for so many years, I will just continue to act in your style. ”
Yan Zhen can make contributions to the society in southern Fujian, and he has his own means.
This time, he made great efforts to transfer Shi Lei out of the capital, just to avoid the disputes in Beijing before the crown prince was settled. But after all, Jin Wuwei is a place where Shi Lei has been running for more than ten years, he can go, his old buddies, those subordinates can't go, Chen Luo's ability and character are there, he is quite optimistic, and feels that it is not impossible to entrust his people to Chen Luo.
He didn't be polite to Chen Luo, and told him about the situation of Jinwu Siwei in detail.
In addition to these, he took office as a new official, and he also burned three fires in Jinwu Siwei, and he was so busy every day that his feet did not touch the ground, and he lost a lot of weight.
Wang Xi saw that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, and Chen Luo didn't know what he was busy with, so he had to send some of the finished moon cakes and osmanthus wine to the eldest princess's mansion.
When Chen Yu was looking at the gift list, Qinggu came over all of a sudden, and she said with a smile: "Someone sent a gift here?" Who sent it? What did you give? ”
Chen Yu was startled, and was hesitating to show the gift list to Qinggu, who had already snatched the gift list and read it softly: "Two jars of osmanthus wine, two boxes of fresh meat moon cakes, two boxes of egg yolk lotus paste moon cakes, and two boxes of red bean moon cakes...... The blank depicts two boxes of Jinchuan fans, a pair of lanterns for the eight immortals chasing the moon, and a pair of lanterns for the moon worship of the fairy rabbit. ”
She stopped and stared at Chen Yu: "Why did you send fans and lanterns?" ”
Chen Yu didn't know either. It felt as if Wang Xi had given a copy of everything she had given to others to the second young master of their family.
He said: "The little one doesn't know, I'm about to send the gift list to the second young master?" ”
Qinggu arrogantly folded the gift sheet and put it into her sleeve, and said: "Anyway, the second young master is too busy to be at home, and I don't know if the Mid-Autumn Festival is in the house, so I will accept this gift list for the eldest princess." If the second young master asks, you can ask him to find the eldest princess. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Chen Yu to speak, he walked out of the courtyard quickly, and when Chen Yu chased him out, he had already disappeared from Qinggu.
Chen Yu stepped on his feet.
His henchman gave him an idea: "Or, let's prepare another copy for the second son according to Miss Wang's?" Although there are many things, there are only two or three of each, and it should take four or five days to make up for them. ”
Chen Yu's heart was instantly moved, but he quickly came back to his senses, glanced at the little guy with an idiot-like gaze, and said: "You probably haven't eaten anything from Miss Wang's kitchen, the fresh meat mooncakes they make are definitely not ordinary fresh meat mooncakes, are you confident that if the second son wants to eat a piece on a whim, can it be exactly the same as what Miss Wang's kitchen makes?" ”
The little guy didn't dare to say anything.
Chen Yu waited dejectedly for Chen Luo to return home.
The eldest princess looked at the young girl who came back and said repeatedly, "Show it to me." What kind of gifts did Miss Wang give to Linlang? That little girl looks like Zhong Lingyu, but I don't know if my heart is empty? ”
Qinggu smiled and took the gift list out, and pointed to a line of words on the gift list and said: "Look, there is also a tangram made of assorted jade, and our second son is like a child!" ”
When the eldest princess heard this, she was stunned for a long time.
Chen Luo was so naughty when she was young, she either scolded him or turned a blind eye when she met him, she brought him back from the palace with lanterns and firecrackers, as if she had never bought any tangram for her son.
The eldest princess sighed softly almost inaudibly, and said, "Could it be that this is why he will defend Miss Wang so much?" ”
"What?" Qinggu didn't hear clearly.
The eldest princess had no intention of saying more, so she returned the gift list to Qinggu and said, "The things also help Chen Yu enter the warehouse, right?" Anyway, the moon cakes are well done, especially the egg yolk lotus paste moon cakes, sweet but not greasy, salty but not reduced, both novel and delicious, even the master in the palace can't think of it. I'll have to keep a few for him! ”
Qinggu was stunned.
The eldest princess has eaten the mooncakes made by Miss Wang? When did she eat? Where to eat? Why is she not impressed at all?
Qinggu suppressed all the confusion in her heart, responded "yes" with a smile, and returned the gift list to Chen Yu.

Wang Xi's side is boring.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the Wen family sent a rich festival gift to the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, that is, the maid, and also rewarded a six-month cake and a small pot of osmanthus wine.
Especially compared to Chang Yan's future in-laws, Huangfu only sent some gifts according to the regular gifts, although there was nothing wrong, but it also made people happy, the Wen family's festival gifts were particularly decent, Chang Ke was even grateful for this, and made shoes and socks for Wen Zheng overnight, wanting to send them before the winter.
Shi Zhu also hid in Mrs. Tai's house to make shoes and socks when recognizing relatives, Wang Xi suddenly lost Miss Pan and Chang Ke's two friends, and there was no provocation, she was very lonely, and began to think about why Wang Chen hadn't come to the capital to see her, or there was news in Shuzhong, she wanted to go home.
When the big shopkeeper came to give her the monthly silver, in addition to comforting her and saying that Wang Chen had something to do in Jiangnan and would not be able to come to the capital for a while, he also asked her if she wanted to take her out of the house for the Mid-Autumn Festival: "Anyway, the old lady, the old man and the old man and the wife are not in the capital, where have you lived, you can also see what the lantern festival on August 15 in Beijing looks like when you go to me." ”
Wang Xi was immediately moved and went to ask Mrs. Tai for leave.
Who knew that Mrs. Tai had a heart disease since Wang Xi's mother lost her lantern viewing on August 15, and she was not allowed to leave the mansion on August 15 in Yongcheng Hou's Mansion, let alone watching the lanterns.
Mrs. Tai took Wang Xi's hand and cried, no matter what, she didn't let Wang Xi out of the house.
also took the opportunity to talk about the Shi family.
said that the Shi family was wronged, and it was all because some people were jealous that they were calculated by the villain.
Wang Xi didn't want to hear it, but Mrs. Tai still pulled her and didn't let her go, saying that the Marquis of Yongcheng was not filial and didn't allow her to say these things outside.
She had been to Mrs. Tai once and didn't want to go again.
However, a courtyard in the west cross courtyard of the Guogong Mansion in the next town was brightly lit, as if it was rushing to work overnight.
She suspected that it was Chen Ying's new house.
The eldest princess put Chen Ying's new house next to the eldest princess's mansion, I don't know what the purpose is?
Wang Xi guessed for a long time and didn't have a fixed number, and when it came to August 15, everyone got up early in the morning to freshen up, and then gathered at Mrs. Tai's for lunch.
Mrs. Tai was crying and crying, and everyone had to endure her temperament to comfort her, so that no one had a good lunch.
Although the dinner was also at Mrs. Tai's place, because the men of the family participated, the banquet was arranged in the courtyard.
The moon and stars are scarce, and the surrounding bead lights illuminate the courtyard.
Mrs. Tai continued to cry for the Shi family, and Shi Zhu also cried.
Yongcheng Hou brushed his sleeves away.
The eldest son of Yongcheng Hou hurriedly chased after him.
Those who remained looked at each other.
The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is smashed.
Wang Xi looked at it and pouted secretly.
She, the grandmother, will never know the situation.
When he returned to the house, Wang Xi found that half of the room was piled up with things. Mama Wang stepped forward with a somewhat anxious expression and said, "It was sent by Master Chen." He also said that he should have sent it to you in person, but the palace suddenly announced that Lord Chen and the eldest princess had entered the palace. He had no choice but to come to visit you after leaving the palace. ”
Because the emperor stopped the queen's mother's middle palace note, there was no Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace this year, and there was a lot of discussion in other people's houses, only Yongcheng Houfu, because Mrs. Tai only cared about crying the Shi family, pitiful Shi Zhu, worried about what the Shi family would do in the future, everyone was so annoyed that they didn't have the mood and energy to talk about things in the palace.
