Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Theory of White Water
The summer of the twelfth year of Hongjia is a season of happy events.
The marriage date of the sixth prince and the seventh prince and the prince of Huai Wang was chosen, and the third princess was about to give birth in more than a month, and the second princess also had good news at this time.
Jia Kangdi has been in a good mood recently, and there has been no famine in Daqi, under the prosperity of the country and the people, Jia Kangdi thought about going to the palace to escape the summer.
As soon as this matter spread to the harem, the young concubines began to look for the four concubines, hoping that Emperor Jiakang could take him to the palace.
In Tong's Mansion, Tong Huaiyuan was also packing up the four treasures of his usual study.
"How can there be a husband's name on this trip?"
Wen Lan helped clean up together, chatting and talking about the confusion in her heart.
"What you said, I'm also a third-grade person, isn't it normal to go with me to escape the summer, the officials who stay in Beijing are all in trouble, and I have nothing to do."
Tong Huaiyuan blew the ash on the wolf's hair, he hadn't practiced calligraphy for a while, since he became this Beijing official, the whole person took Xiaoxue everywhere every day, this time he couldn't take Xiaoxue to go, and practicing calligraphy and playing chess and painting in the royal palace was the most time-sparing.
Tong Huaiyuan accompanied him, but he didn't plan to take Wen Lan with him, his son was still young, and there was an old lady Tong at home, Tong Huaiyuan still decided to let Wen Lan stay at home.
Tong Qingyan is the county lord, and this time she will definitely go with her, although the wedding date has been set, on the eighth day of March of the next year, but Tong Qingyan has no plans to embroider her wedding dress.
has that time to embroider in the boudoir, Tong Qingyan is more willing to eat, drink and play around, and fully enjoy the preferential treatment of the privileged class.
Tong Manji and Su Zhao's wedding date has also been set, although she is a sister, but after all, Tong Qingyan's grade is there, so her wedding date is still set after Tong Qingyan.
After Su Zhaodian tried, he was ordered by Jiakangdi to explore flowers, and the Su family set up and down the flowing water for three days, Tong Manji was not embarrassed to go, but he also embroidered the sachets of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and expressed his heart.
Su Zhao showed off a lot in the circle of friends, attracting everyone's jealousy and contempt, compared to Liang Ruofeng, the champion who was revealed to have been married for a long time, Su Zhao, who was married, attracted less attention.
Liang Ruofeng sent someone to his hometown to pick up people on the second day after the holy decree came down, and according to the estimated speed, the three of Chunniang arrived in Beijing, and I am afraid that the summer will pass.
Liang Ruofeng was not qualified to go with him to escape the summer, Liang Jing knew that the six princes had to leave the capital for a period of time, and took three or four people from the side concubine to go together, and he was depressed for several days, but he couldn't do anything.
Yang Zhimin has succeeded in coaxing women with just one face, and in the face of Liang Jing's taste, it only took one meal to coax people well, this meal is still eaten in Ruyi Building, Liang Jing, who heard the number at the checkout, was very surprised, and after being surprised, there was a sense of pleasure that vanity was satisfied.
"Have you brought your side concubine to Ruyi Mansion for dinner?"
"Of course not, the side room can't be compared with the main room, how could I bring her to eat before you, even if I brought you to eat, she doesn't deserve to come."
Yang Zhimin looked at Liang Jing's completely relaxed expression, and gently shook the folding fan twice.
Coax a woman and find the core problem much easier.
Song Zhan is in charge of the security of the imperial front, and has been busy drawing up the list of accompanying guards recently, and he has not seen Tong Qingyan for a long time.
"Miss, the prince has entered the mansion, go and say hello to the old lady and the master."
"Oh."
Tong Qingyan picked up a green plum and put it in her mouth, turned a page of the book idly, and responded unhappily.
Pearl looked at her calm face and scratched her head in confusion.
"Isn't Miss looking forward to His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, why does it seem that she doesn't want him to come now?"
Tong Qingyan put down the book when she heard this, glanced at the three people who couldn't help laughing, and snorted lightly.
"All your brains are probably eating, whoever wants to marry you in the future will give you ten catties of pork knuckle with sauce."
"Miss also looks down on people too much, she wants to marry a slave maid for ten catties of sauce pork knuckle, and the slave maid is too embarrassing for you."
"Eh, ten catties of sauce elbow is not enough, is it possible to ask for twenty catties?"
Pearl didn't hear the meaning of Tong Qingyan's words at all, and rolled her eyes seriously and counted her hands.
"At least you have to give me a shop like Li Ji sauce elbow shop in the east of the city, Miss, you said, delicious things should be developed into business as much as possible, so that you can eat whenever you want."
These words were the reasons given by Tong Qingyan when the first Ruyi Building was opened in Changchun Mansion that year, and he also successfully persuaded Tong's father to get the first start-up capital.
Pearl's brain is extraordinarily bright in eating, and as for the emotional aspect, it can only be a hehe.
When Song Zhan first arrived at Hanlian Garden, Xiaoxue got up from Tong Qingyan's feet and got into the dog house with a swish.
"It's been so long, Xiaoxue is still so afraid of you."
Tong Qingyan sat on the bench and shook her feet, looking at the man who walked towards her with a leisurely attitude.
"I've worked hard to get along with it, and you see I brought him the white-cut beef from Ruyilou today."
Song Zhan shook the oiled paper bag in his hand, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, and when he turned around quickly, he saw Xiaoxue standing up holding two front paws on the placket of his clothes.
Looking at each other, Song Zhan easily saw the eagerness in the dog's eyes, and inevitably his entire robe suffered, Song Zhan decisively opened the oil paper bag and put the evenly cut beef at the door of the dog house.
"Don't bother without my permission, otherwise I don't mind eating dog meat pot in the summer."
Song Zhan touched the plump hair on Xiao Xue's neck with a friendly face, and there was no meaning in his words at all, but Xiao Xue sensed the real danger, opened the dog's mouth and shrank into the dog house, and the posture of not going out made Song Zhan stand up satisfied.
The four maids had already withdrawn with interest when Song Zhan appeared, and at this moment there were only Tong Qingyan and Song Zhan in the courtyard, and Xiaoxue, who was enjoying white-cut beef in the dog house, was a standard two-person world.
"Why are you free today?"
"You don't want me to come?"
Tong Qingyan smiled, just wanted to pour a cup of tea, but when her hand touched the teapot, she remembered that there was only white water in the pot.
Song Zhan looked at Tong Qingyan's pause, and after a little thought, he understood, and picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of white water.
"White water is tasteless and tasteless, but you can taste the sweetness of it after drinking too much."
"You have to be willing to drink white water to taste it, and if you only drink white water, you don't have the mood to feel the taste of white water."
Song Zhan looked at Tong Qingyan, whose eyebrows and eyes had grown a little longer, I haven't seen her for a while, Tong Qingyan, who is wearing a little home today, seems to be a grown woman, and she can't tell that she is still a little girl who is not in time.
Some people can always unconsciously become the appearance of the hollow valley orchid, obviously they have a lot of eyes and are really naïve when they are stupid, but their appearance is so capable of bluffing.
