Chapter XVII
Mingzhu's news is not closed, but it is definitely not well-informed. This is mainly due to her father, Master Ming and Mrs. Ming have always felt that there is no need to take out some things about the human race to tell their precious daughters, and they have polluted their ears. Therefore, the news of King Yu's marriage, Mingzhu learned quite late.
This news was told to her by Li Jiong, after Li Jiong's triumph on the winter solstice, he had to be given a small official position, the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, the kind of official position that does nothing on weekdays, but it is also very free. The Five Cities Terracotta Division is directly under the command of King Yu, so it may be dull to the side, and for the gossip and gossip of his top boss, the Five Cities Terracotta Division knows the door.
When Li Wei came that day, as usual, he first went to the big kitchen and ordered a plate of lotus leaf cakes, Li Wei envied the pearl the most, the Ming family master and the young lady are greedy, Mrs. Ming is gentle and gentle, everything goes with the temper, so the stove in the Ming Mansion is warm all the year round with snacks or soup and water, which greatly facilitates the father and daughter who forage for food every day, but these two people are not fat no matter how they eat, this sound makes people envious and jealous and you have nothing to do with them. Li Wei smashed his mouth, patted his stomach, and slipped into the backyard of the Ming Mansion with the horsewhip in his hand.
Mingzhu sat on the swing and swayed, still teasing the Persian cat that his father had found to relieve his boredom the day before yesterday, and his heterochromatic pupils were like two beautiful glass beads, and the sparkling was cute. Li Wei looked at the little girl who looked so happy across the pond in the back garden of the Ming family, and hesitated a little, and finally settled down and walked towards the swing frame. How calm he was on the surface, how panicked he was in his heart, everything was normal, and Mingzhu even put the cat on his lap.
Li Wei lowered his head and touched the soft fur of the Persian cat, and didn't dare to look directly into Mingzhu's eyes: "Have you heard?" Yesterday, King Yu asked for a holy decree to give marriage, and the emperor lost his temper. Hey, I don't know when our master will figure it out..."
Mingzhu was stunned, and the cat's tail in his hand was also released, and the Persian cat hurriedly put away its tail with a "meow" and formed a ball on Li Ji's leg.
"What? Did King Yu propose marriage? Mingzhu lowered her eyes, and her heart suddenly seemed to be pricked by a very thin embroidery needle, but she still didn't care, "It's good, Yuwang should be the eldest and the same, and it's normal to start a family early." Mingzhu made an extremely relieved appearance, looking like an old lady basking in the sun at the entrance of the alley.
Li Wei stretched out his hand and patted her head, and scolded with a smile: "At a young age, you are still old-fashioned, what are you pretending to be mature?" ”
Mingzhu looked unconvinced, shook his head and shook Li Yan's palm to the side, sniffed and looked unconvinced, "Who pretended?!" She put her hands on her face and pretended to be a small flower, "Shouldn't you care about the life events of the country's guardian god of war?" Mingzhu tilted her head, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do." ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Wei always felt that Mingzhu seemed to have a hint of sarcasm in his expression and tone when he said the words "Guardian God of War", and there seemed to be a sharp thorn in his words, which pierced people's hearts a little unpleasantly.
The holy decree followed Su Shangshu to the Su Mansion, and the big eunuch Li Fuquan's crimson four-person sedan chair followed Su Shangshu's carriage and staggered to stop in front of the gate of the Su Mansion, Su Shangshu stepped on the small pestle and got off the carriage, with a slightly chubby face with a hint of respect, and stood at the door with his hands hanging down and waiting for Li Fuquan to get off the sedan chair behind.
The little eunuch who carried the sedan chair helped the chubby Li Fuquan get out of the sedan chair, Li Fuquan got off the sedan chair and stood up straight, reaching out to rub his white and beardless chin. He looked at the plaque of Su Mansion and groaned for a long time, and suddenly laughed, the shrewd eyes on his chubby face narrowed into a slit, and he shook his head and looked at Su Shangshu, who was respectful on his face, but still couldn't hide his joy, which was a little funny.
"Master Su, let's go." Li Fuquan shook the whisk in his hand, and the sharp and hoarse male duck's voice was a little harsh, "You are doing this this time, tsk, even I am envious of hearing this." ”
"But isn't it, I haven't reacted here yet," Su Shangshu Su Ying'an echoed, approached Li Fuquan and said in a low voice, "Gonggong Li, you give me a thorough explanation, why did this Prince Yu fall in love with my second daughter?" ”
"You don't know?" Li Fuquan glanced at Su Ying'an in some surprise, but he was really surprised, "I still want to ask you about this matter, Master Su, who thinks you don't know." ”
Su Ying'an looked confused by the second monk: "Where do I know where to go, you also know that my Su family is famous for its upright family style, and the girls in the family are also beautiful women who don't go out of the door on weekdays, and the last time I went out was after the winter solstice, I went to the Tibetan Plum Temple to incense her grandmother, and I avoided foreign men all the way." Su Ying paused, "Isn't it remembered by Prince Yu at the palace banquet on the day of the winter solstice?" ”
Li Fuquan glanced at Su Shangshu, who looked nervous, but there was joy hidden in his eyes, and stretched out his hand to make a "shh ”
"Hey, that's right," Master Su patted his forehead as if he suddenly realized, "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Let's go, Master Su, pass the decree." Li Fuquan shook the dust in his hand again, his eyes narrowed, and the eyeballs hidden under him rolled wildly.
"Hey, okay, okay, Father-in-law Li, please." Su Ying'an stretched out his hand to invite with a somewhat flattering expression, and after Li Fuquan hummed a "um" word from his nose, he walked into the gate of Su Mansion with a somewhat wide hem.
At the palace banquet? Li Fuquan secretly wondered, what did the second lady of the Su family do at the palace banquet, playing a tune? That song doesn't seem to be anything special... Hiss! Li Fuquan seemed to have suddenly thought of something, his pupils shook violently, his squinted eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Su Ying'an, who was leading the way one step in front of him, thinking that it was deliberately designed by the Su family, but it turned out that he was just like that person? Or, Li Fuquan's face trembled, if this is really designed by the Su family, this is a real dog's guts, this Su family, the picture is not small.
Li Fuquan, who wanted to understand some things, saw the Su family kneeling on the ground to receive the order again, his eyes were full of scrutiny, he focused on the second miss of the Su family, that figure and bearing, like, except that the facial features are not as delicate as the one, it is really very similar. Li Fuquan sneered: "Everyone is here, Su Qi, the second miss of Su Mansion, takes the order!" ”
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I heard that Su Qi, the daughter of Su Shangshu and Su Ying'an, is virtuous, dignified and generous, and has outstanding appearance, and I am very happy to hear it. When the prince of Jinyu is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman to match. In the boudoir of Su Qi, and Yu Wang Ye can be called heaven and earth, for the beauty of becoming a beautiful woman, you will be specially matched with Yu Wang Ye as a concubine. All etiquette will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and the marriage will be completed on a good day. ”
"The courtiers are grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Su Qi knelt on the ground, and after kowtowing, he respectfully received the decree and got up, saluted and retired, revealing the embroidery under the skirt between actions, which was a light blue begonia.
