Chapter Seventy-Three: Shao Ai
After working for half a day, I was so tired and wanted to sleep, but I still took advantage of the lunch break to turn on the computer and write for everyone.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Xu Weixiu wrote a letter to be sent to Changjing.
Li came in with a dim sum box, which contained crab dumplings, delicate small flour fruits with peony patterns, and pine nut goose fat flower rolls.
Li smiled and put the dim sum on the table and said to Xu Wei: "Master, rest first and eat some dim sum." β
Xu Wei was not in the mood, and blew on the letterhead in his hand, and the ink on the letterhead had not yet dried.
Li asked, "Who did the master write to?" β
Li originally asked casually, but Xu Wei replied truthfully: "Repair the book for Your Majesty, and report to Your Majesty that the king wants to take a concubine." β
Li Shi was suddenly curious: "The king has another favorite candidate?" β
Last time it was a widow, I don't know who it was this time.
Li was intrigued by King Qi's aesthetics.
Xu Wei said angrily: "I'm afraid this king is going to get involved with Wang Jiagan." β
"The Wang family, which Wang family?" Lee asked.
Xu Wei thought that Shen Changping had divorced Wang Xiaojian, so he said: "Now it should be said that the Shen family is right, it is the eldest lady of Shen Sikong's family." β
"Shen Changping?" Li blurted out that because of Xu Shaoye, Li was like thunder to Shen Changping.
She also recently realized the big banquet of the Wang family, why Xu Shaoye reminded her to ask Li Yueshu to hold this banquet for her, it turned out that she had fallen in love with someone else's daughter-in-law early on.
It's a pity that for this banquet, his poor niece actually lost her life.
In the past, when Li Yueshu was there, the Li family was not very good to Li Yueshu, and when he died, he felt guilty and pity.
As soon as Xu Wei heard this name, he was furious, "Madam, did you say that the king is dizzy?" He was a widow before, but now he is an outcast, so why can't he do good for himself? This is the position of the princess. β
Li said: "Master, this is a good thing, if the king crowns Shen Changping as a concubine, then our Ah Ye will have no idea." β
As soon as Li mentioned it, Xu Wei was stunned.
In the Qingxue Garden, there are exactly the same dim sum, and this time Xu Wei tasted crab dumplings, delicate small noodles with peony patterns, and pine nut goose fat flower rolls.
"This is a small snack you made." I knew I would have eaten it at Li's place.
Mengxue was puzzled, "What's wrong with this dim sum?" β
"It's nothing, it's delicious." Xu Wei looked at Meng Xue and smiled like a flower.
"Master is in a good mood today." Mengxue looked at Xu Wei's face.
Xu Wei smiled and said to Mengxue: "Mengxue, I have something to tell you......
After listening to Xu Wei say that King Qi wanted to accept Shen Changping as a concubine, and listening to him analyze the benefits of this matter to Xu Shaoye, Mengxue pursed her lips and continued to listen to Xu Wei.
At the end, Xu Wei said: "These days, Ah Ye has been making trouble with me for Shen Changping, it seems that he will not be sober for a while, if Shen Changping can really be the princess of Qi, our Ah Ye will be quiet." "A courtier can't rob a wife from a king, right?
"It's justβ" Xu Wei changed his words.
"You're worried about Achu again, aren't you?" Meng Xue Rourou asked.
Xu Wei nodded.
"Ah Ye and Ah Chu, the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat." Xu Wei sighed.
Meng Xue pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't I enter the palace to persuade Ah Chu?" β
Xu Wei couldn't help Mengxue make the decision for a while.
Once Mengxue persuaded Xu Xiangchu, then Xu Shaoye couldn't give up on Shen Changping; Once Ah Chu can't be persuaded to do so, then Shen Changping will really become the princess of Qi, what should Ah Chu do? Are you being pointed at by the people of the whole country?
"One by one, they are not worrying," Xu Wei muttered, "Your Majesty has written more than one letter to Achu, hoping that he will choose a concubine as soon as possible and choose a concubine carefully, but I didn't expect that this child only has Shao Ai in his eyes." β
"Qi Guo, why not Shen Changping, this young Ai?" Meng Xue didn't smile, her face was never more serious, "Master help the concubine arrange the entry into the palace." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
When Mr. Zhang returned to the mansion, he heard the sound of ping-pong smashing things again, and Mrs. Zhang greeted him with a sad face.
Master Zhang asked, "Zhang Ying is still having a temper?" β
Mrs. Zhang nodded sadly.
Master Zhang scolded: "This thing that doesn't know how to lift, Chang Lin is a talent, and he is a cousin who grew up together, he can tolerate her bad temper, just like her, how can she look like a noble girl?" If she wants to be the princess of Qi like Miss Shen, I don't think she will cry even more? β
Lord Zhang accidentally revealed the gossip in the palace in anger, and Mrs. Zhang took the opportunity to ask about it.
"So, Shen Sikong will soon become the national ruler?" Mrs. Zhang asked with a strange expression, both envious and interested in seeing the excitement, if King Qi was not a sick man......
"Do you think everyone is blessed? Shen Sikong was frightened that day, Mrs. Shen was sick again in the past few days, Miss Shen wanted to serve her mother, and it was not easy for the king to be hired for a while. β
After chatting about other gossip, the couple began to worry about their daughter again.
"The wedding date is coming soon, Ying'er still looks like a ghost, how can she get married then? Tie her to a sedan chair? Master Zhang couldn't help but be angry, "You, a mother, why can't you hold your daughter?" β
Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips, "Ying'er has always listened to you. β
Master Zhang had no choice but to raise his feet and go to Zhang Ying's courtyard.
"Miss, the master is here, the master is here." The maidservants didn't know whether they saw the savior, or if they were afraid, and their voices trembled.
Zhang Ying was holding a beauty bottle, and when she saw Master Zhang standing in front of her, she couldn't throw it to the ground for a while.
Master Zhang snorted coldly: "I also know that I am afraid, and I still have my father in my eyes." β
Seeing this, the maid hurriedly took the beauty bottle from Zhang Ying's hand, and Zhang Ying threw herself into Master Zhang's arms and cried coquettishly: "Father, I don't want to marry my cousin." β
"Why?" Master Zhang was puzzled, "Chang Lin's child wants to look good and have a family, your uncle has already found an official position for him before his death, and he can go to work when his filial piety expires, and the family business that your uncle saved for him before his death, that is, he doesn't do anything, and he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing in this life, let alone ......"
Master Zhang coughed and lowered his voice: "Your uncle and aunt are gone, there are no adults in the family who have pressed you since you got married, and you are the housewife as soon as you enter the door, how good is this, listen to your father, my father is all for your good." β
Master Zhang said and wiped Zhang Ying's tears.
Zhang Ying slapped his hand away, turned around and ran into the room to lock the door.
"Miss, missβ"
The maidservants were busy banging on the door, but they couldn't open it.
Master Zhang didn't expect this daughter to be so willful, he persuaded him with kind words, and she actually showed him a cold face.
And Zhang Ying is naturally puffed up in the middle, and it doesn't make sense to her parents, so why bother talking in vain? It's a big deal, she figured out her own way to make the marriage knot not work out. This is all forced by everyone.
