This year, Chang'an City is popular with a crimson skirt, with a purple veil, and a huge and transparent jade pendant on the ear, but only a bead hairpin is used on the head, so that the bun seems to hang down, as if it is hanging on the ground, with a plain white face, as if it does not apply powder, it can make the hearts of the men in Chang'an City.

Speaking of this popularity, it starts with Xiang Beauty.

I heard that it was a day just into summer, and the summer clothes were not yet ready, but she was hot, so she took off the small shirt in the spring skirt, bare shoulders, and only put on a veil.

She had just finished grooming at that time, she had not yet put on her makeup, and her hair was just a random curl, and she was holding the emperor's newly rewarded jade beads and gesturing in her ear.

The emperor happened to come to her palace in the early morning, and saw her looming snow-white arms, which seemed to be awake and not awake, coupled with Xiang Yu's small size, the whole person seemed to be drowned in crimson and purple emerald green, only that little face, Chu Chu was moving.

The inner servant added oil and vinegar, but I heard that the palace door was closed during the day, and no one was called in to serve all day, until the sky was dark, and the person was called to send hot water in.

Since then, this outfit has become popular in Chang'an City.

But not everyone is Xiang Yu, many of the ladies present have faces like discs, and there is not much hair.

There were only two people here who were not dressed like that, Ah Fu and Bai Yalan.

Afu returned to the capital and rarely interacted with people, because she didn't know about this trend. As for Bai Yalan, she has always been the other leader of the noblewomen of Chang'an, so she disdains to learn from Xiang Yu.

Li Yuru looked at Afu's half-new moon-white skirt, a few beaded hairpins on her head, and her hair was combed straight, and said with a smile: "Have you seen it, only vulgar things like us are in a hurry to catch up with fashion every day." Look at Second Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Ma, people wear their own clothes, and they are so vulgar. ”

Bai Yalan led Afu to sit down, and chuckled: "Yuru will make fun of people." I don't have such a precious jade as you to match! ”

Everyone coaxed together: "Yalan, this monkey mouth, who doesn't know that Ma Shangshu loves you the most, but even the stars in the sky can't be torn off and held in front of you." ”

Yalan only covered her mouth and chuckled, and Afu was almost stunned.

A beauty is a beauty, no wonder the first queen mother wanted to accept her as a righteous daughter.

Seeing that she treats people and takes things over, she is also a kind sister, but it's a pity that she married a huge greedy husband....

Afu knew that Shu Yu was preparing to impeach Ma Yue early, but she was extremely embarrassed.

The topic suddenly turned to Afu, and Li Yuru said with a smile: "Second lady, Pei Shangshu has just been out of the south, did he bring you any good things?" ”

They looked at the delicate material that Afu was wearing, but it was not an extremely precious material, and they couldn't help but inquire.

Afu smiled: "What good things can you bring out of tolerance?" Those are all places of extreme poverty, and those who go there will suffer. ”

Bai Yalan smiled: "My sister is really young and ignorant. The more places like this, the fatter the officials will be. ”

Afu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't say much, only changed the topic and joked.

There was no reaction from the crowd, so much so that Aph almost felt that she had misheard.

But Shu Yu told her a long time ago that the couple of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu are probably one who dares to be greedy and the other who dares to spend. Afu didn't believe it before, but now she has to bow her head.

She looked at Bai Yalan's beautiful face, and felt very pity, and couldn't help but say: "What is the pity of the things outside the body, what do you say?" ”

Li Yuru said: "Yo, look at Second Mrs. Pei, she is young, she can think about it a lot, we all have to learn a little bit as sisters!" ”

Afu stopped talking.

It seems that Bai Yalan didn't marry a huge greedy husband, I'm afraid that she made her a good husband, but she turned it into a huge greed.

Looking at this bustle, Afu remembered the wrong begonia in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", and in the coming year, the family will be defeated.

They are all noblewomen in Chang'an City, and they can't do without the gossip of each family.

"Second Mrs. Pei, is your brother-in-law going home?"

Afu smiled and said, "I'm back, I've been living in the Huan family for the past few days, taking care of my little niece." The emperor felt that he was working hard, and authorized him not to come to the autumn hunt this year. ”

"Hey, Ah Xian is a good person, it's a pity to go. Have you heard that after Wang Muzhi returned from the front line, the princess lost her temper for several days, and asked the marshal to coax him outside the house for several days, and then he lost face before he was asked to enter the house. ”

"Really? Does the emperor know? ”

"The emperor knew, and he just smiled and said a word about the director's nature, and there was nothing beside him. After all, the Son of Heaven is not easy to meddle in the affairs of the husband and wife. ”

"Hey, since ancient times, the concubine has not been in office, no wonder the princess is angry. Who wants their husband to be busy in the fire for half a year without being at home? ”

Afu only felt that the more she listened, the more blocked she became, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing for the horse to make contributions to the country, but the princess can't help it." ”

A thin-lipped lady with a raw face said, "Second Mrs. Pei, we women just think too much for them." What this husband does in the court, and how well he does it, has little to do with the women of our back house. Throughout the ages, how many people have been able to be canonized by virtue of their husband's grace? Therefore, we can let the husband stay at home more and never let him go out more; I can make my husband make more money, and I will never let him use it for good....."

Several ladies cheered.

High-ranking ladies like Li Yuru and Bai Yalan, although they were still looking forward to the edict, did not refute it much.

Xiang Yan stammered her sister-in-law: "Like Mrs. Lai, Mrs. Ma, and Mrs. Pei, naturally Mrs. Decree is just around the corner." However, the three ladies are all cautious in their relationship with Lang Jun, so they can naturally be more considerate. ”

Afu smiled slightly.

Since ancient times, husband and wife have been one, where can they only rely on their husbands, or only know the principles that bind him?

Bai Yalan drove Ma Shangshu to do everything he could, and the princess made the high-spirited concubine dare not go out of the court, which was not a long-term solution.

Afu doesn't panic for their men, and it's a pity for Afu to serve for the court where Shuyu serves.

Of course, she didn't bother to play the piano to the cow, so she only took a sip of tea silently and continued to listen carefully.

On the first day of the autumn hunt, it is basically the resettlement of each family.

After the emperor hugged Xiang Yu into the tent during the day, he never showed up again, and Shuyu was happy to be idle, and turned back to the tent early in the morning, and saw Afu sitting at the table, biting the pen.

"What do you think?" Shu Yu looked over and saw a bunch of names written on it.

He knew at a glance what she wanted to do, and said helplessly: "How can you write it in black and white like this?" Let people see that the Pei family is finished. ”

Afu tugged at his sleeve: "Quick, help me do it again." I met a few of them today, and I was even more impressed. ”

Shu Yu saw that he had written it down anyway, so he took the pen and circled it: "I am in the three provinces and six departments; Among the three provinces, my father is Shang Shucheng, Li Zuocheng and Wang Youcheng. Huan Xian's father is the former right Cheng. Among the six departments, I am in the Ministry of War, your father is in the Ministry of Rites, Li is the Mrs. of the Criminal Department, Bai is the Mrs. of the Ministry of Works, Xie Yun's sister-in-law is the daughter of the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials is your father's friend, Uncle Qian. ”

"Now, according to your second brother's intelligence, when Ma Yue, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was in charge of Fu'an, he must have a tendency to defect to the enemy and commit treason. Jin Heng soon arrived in the capital, and he has been investigating the events of that year recently, and the specific content will be known at that time. Corruption is just a primer, and it can certainly lead to the hidden story of my brother's death in battle. However, it was Prime Minister Li Cheng who transferred Ma Yue, who was in the heavy city, back to the capital. It is the top priority now, before impeaching Ma Yue, one is to clarify the forces behind Ma Yue, and the other is to see clearly what Jun wants. ”

Ah Fu asked in a low voice, "Which is harder?" ”

Shu Yu put down the pen and took a deep breath: "Junxin." ”

He is now almost not involved in court politics, and intends to delegate power, just to avoid arousing the emperor's vigilance again.

Before Ning Zhi, Jin Heng and others returned to Beijing, his power was too scattered.

"In addition, we are in distress in Zou County, and Zou County's reliance in the imperial court, according to Ning Zhi, is also Prime Minister Li Cheng's party. We deduce that Prime Minister Li Cheng is to ensure the implementation of the new Miao Law, so he endorses the Zou County Guard, who has done all kinds of evil. ”

Afu was really puzzled: "Why is this Prime Minister Li Cheng everywhere him?" What is he for? That new Miao Law, if it is not implemented, it will not be implemented, as for doing so many evil things? ”

Shu Yu just wanted to answer, but suddenly a flash of inspiration.
