Chapter 11 Moving
Pei Yang thought that the reason why the princess wanted to return to the palace was that she wanted to be filial in front of the Queen Mother. The other is that she doesn't want to live in that house anymore. The princess's real estate is the imperial village outside the capital in addition to the princess's mansion.
Without the protection of the capital outside the capital, I am afraid it will be even more dangerous.
So he took down the house next door and dragged a friend to act.
How about Hu Jiashu writing a script? He Pei Xiaohou Ye, can write and act.
It's just that the princess's vision is really not good, what is the book written by Hu Jiashu, the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth.
Since he knew that Mr. Mingxuan was Hu Jiashu, Pei Yang resold Mingyue Building. I just used that money to make up for the purchase of the house. Otherwise, he would really have no money on his sleeves.
On this day, the princess wanted to eat the spicy soup in the palace, but there was no food outside the palace. Zhihan had to find a similar one to buy for the princess.
When she arrived at Tianbaolou, she had to meet Downton, and learned that he had also come to buy food for her master. The two of them began to talk.
Zhihan's belly spicy soup was slow, so the two of them sat down at a table and waited.
"Sister Zhihan, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has made arrangements for returning to the palace. The food and drink in the palace are exquisite and extravagant, but there is no fun outside. I know there's a new fruit shop with the owner from the south, and spicy fruit! But it's fresh, and you'll have to bring some to the princess. ”
Downton chatted as he ate peanuts. This time it didn't make Zhihan suspicious. She is a female official from the palace, and her status is higher than that of ordinary maids. Although he doesn't look down on them on weekdays, he also has the charm of a female official.
"You have a heart, if the princess eats well, I should thank you."
"Don't say thank you or not, see more. Sister Zhihan, I advise you to buy more delicious and fun things for the princess to bring back to the palace. ”
These words made Zhihan suspicious, and he felt that his words were always like the princess couldn't get out after entering the palace.
After chatting further, Zhihan couldn't sit still. got the spicy soup and quickly returned to the princess's mansion.
Zhong Yi was sitting in the study thinking about the poison that Hu Jiashu said, and that medicine was most likely not from the Central Plains. It came from the west. This Wang Peng is not only corrupt, but also treasonous!
But such a waste, where did he come from such a big ability. There's definitely one more point of contact.
Things have come to this point, and it doesn't seem to be her control. Although she has no conclusive evidence, she also wants to report the matter to the imperial brother.
Right here, Zhihan hurriedly came in with a spicy soup, the aroma of the spicy soup was fragrant, and Zhong Yi pulled out of his thoughts.
"Princess, princess, it's not good."
Zhong Yi didn't care what she said, took the spicy soup that was still hot, and went to the dining room. Just as lunch was ready, she sat down and ate two bites, only to hear Zhihan say, "Princess, I went to buy spicy soup today, and I met Downton." He said that he heard Master Pei accidentally mention it a few days ago, saying that the Empress Dowager was sending people to reform the palace rules in the past few days. This, is it possible that this is going for you. ”
"The Empress Dowager looks up to me so much, and in order to rectify me, she has to change the palace rules."
Zhong Yi only thought it was funny, why did Downton chew his tongue? And Zhihan has been in the palace for many years, how can she be alarmist?
She looked at Zhihan with a sad face, and asked her again, "What else did he say?" ”
"This, where does he know in detail. Even Master Pei probably listened to the yellow door in the palace, and the palace maid said without a mouth. ”
This matter didn't end up in Zhong Yi's heart at first, but after a few days, the more she muttered about to return to the palace. Finally, I couldn't rest assured, and went to the palace to meet the queen mother with the prayer post. By the way, I brought some gifts that I bought a few days ago.
When she arrived at the Funing Hall of the queen's mother, Zhong Yi first told her a few words of homely things, and tried the rouge, jewelry, and incense bought outside the palace one by one.
The queen really likes the white brain incense, it seems that Pei Yang is not deceiving.
Before Zhong Yi could ask anything, the queen mother said first: "This object outside the palace, you will buy more novelties for me when you leave the palace." I'm not polite to my sister-in-law as a sister-in-law. ”
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, I wish I could move that street to you to watch and play." Although Zhong Yi smiled, he felt that this was wrong, "Sister-in-law, but the Empress Dowager really wants to change the palace rules?" ”
Her voice fell and her lips were lightly covered by the queen's handkerchief, and the queen's mother told her: "Be quiet, the palace is spreading, and there is no fixed number." You also know that the Empress Dowager is now in charge of the harem. Feng Yin is in her hands, and I can't say anything. It's just that the person who looks at the Miyagi Division has been busy lately. I'm afraid it's going to change. ”
The corners of Zhong Yi's lips were raised, and he didn't ask any more. But it seems that it is true.
She left the palace and didn't return home, so she directly ordered the coachman to go to Jingyuan Houfu. But she was afraid that the porter of the Hou Mansion would be so shocked. He didn't get out of the car at all, and only let the coachman communicate with the porter to say that someone was looking for a doctor, and Master Pei had something to do.
After waiting for less than a stick of incense, Pei Yang came from the house. Come out. Zhong Yi poked his head out of the car window and beckoned to him.
Pei Yang asked her unconsciously: "The princess is here, why is it that she is here?" ”
"You come up and say." Zhong Yi raised his hand and asked him to get into the car.
Where did Pei Yang dare to get into the princess's car, and refused: "This, this is not appropriate." ”
"Then, then I'll go back to the princess's mansion and wait for you. Come here yourself. I have something important to tell you. ”
Zhong Yi returned to the princess's mansion and paced around the flower hall a few times, and someone came to inform that Pei Xiaohou had arrived. Pei Yang came on horseback, and the time was indeed not much later than her.
Excused himself from all false courtesy, punished his subordinates, and only the two of them were left in the flower hall.
Zhong Yi got straight to the point and said: "I entered the palace today, and the queen mother told me that the queen mother wants to change the palace rules. If I go back to the palace, I will never come out again. Then I, then I might as well not go back. It's just that...... I don't want to live in this princess's mansion. What can you do? ”
The anxiety in her heart was reflected on her face, but Pei Yang said unhurriedly: "This princess's mansion is a royal gift, and the minister can't help it." ”
Zhong Yi lost his temper, waved his sleeve and pointed to his heart and said: "You come less, your heart and eyes are more than dry, help people to the end." You help me. ”
She could only ask Pei Yang for help now, put down her face and tugged at the corners of Pei Yang's sleeves.
"If the princess doesn't want to live in the princess's mansion, it would be good to live in another mansion." Pei Yang pulled his sleeve over, and his tone was flat.
Zhong Yi didn't blink at him because he was angry, but blinked at him, and his tone became more and more delicate: "I know, I know." But I never knew anything about buying a house, and I didn't have any reliable people. ”
"Here, the minister has never broken up, and he doesn't know how to buy a house." Pei Yang saw that the smile on Zhong Yi's face faded, and he bowed again and said, "If the princess trusts the minister, the minister is willing to ask someone to try." ”
Pei Yang handled things neatly, and within three days, he would talk about the next house for the princess.
He said that it was his friend, Xuan Wenbin, a member of the military department, who wanted to sell the house. It's just that this house, how can it be so close to Jingyuan Houfu, it's just a wall.
Xuan Wenbin is currently a member of the military department, but he will soon fill the vacancy of Wang Peng's military department. This person is wealthy, and he is not very interested in his career, and he heard that he wants to change from seven to five grades, and he has to refuse.
The first thing he said when he saw the princess was: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, I beg you, let Your Majesty take back your life." The minister really can't be the five-grade master. ”
Zhong Yi looked at Pei Yang blankly, Pei Yang kicked Xuan Wenbin and said, "Don't talk nonsense, get down to business." ”
Xuan Wenbin pursed his lips and reluctantly said: "The minister has some spare money and bought a few houses, and this one by the Hou Mansion was bought a year ago. The original owner was Master Li of the Ministry of Industry, who went to the south to take up a post at that time, and his family moved to the south, so he was in a hurry to get out of the house. The minister sees that this is just closer to Brother Wen Yan, and it is also convenient for poetry to drink in the future. It's just that I didn't expect this position to be too far away from the military department where the minister served. So it was idle, and if the princess didn't like it, she would give it to you at the price at that time. ”
"You're still negotiating with the princess." Pei Yang kicked him again.
Xuan Wenbin pouted and whispered, "This business is business." ”
"Yes, yes, Lord Xuan is right." Zhong Yi disagrees with these. This Xuan Wenbin is about to take over Wang Peng's position, and he is Pei Yang's friend, so he can indeed deal with them, reveal Wang Peng's affairs to them, and then borrow their hands to investigate.
Everything was done, and Zhong Yi moved next door to Pei Yang's house. Since it is the princess's private residence, there is no plaque hanging out.
And the eldest princess's mansion was empty, leaving a few reliable ones to watch over and clean.
Zhong Yi sent a lot of people away, and this new mansion was much smaller than the original princess's mansion. She doesn't need a big mansion either, the bigger it is, the more people there are, the more difficult it is to manage.
Now she still trusts Pei Yang, and relies on Downton to pick some capable people to come to this new house.
Everything was settled, and she spent the first night in her new home.
Outside the wall, Pei Yang and Xuan Wenbin sat cross-legged on the kang table around the round-legged kang table of Nasu Zuo Beech Luo Pot, and talked about wine.
After three rounds of drinking, Xuan Wenbin raised his glass and said: "Brother Wenyan, how is it, I did a good job." ”
"Okay, good, the troupe in the east of the city, if you go, you will definitely steal the limelight from their pillars." When friends got together, Pei Yang didn't have a shelf, his elbow sat on the kang table, and he touched Xuan Wenbin's cup with a wine glass.
"Don't say it, what's the point of being an official. It's better to do business and buy a theater troupe. Xuan Wenbin leaned on the pillow on the back side, crossed his legs, and said leisurely: "The position of the squire of the military department seems to be beautiful. It's actually a trap, I went, I'm afraid it's more than lucky. I've been in the military department for a few years, and I don't know how tired this military spending is. ”
Pei Yang drank the wine in the cup, poured another glass, and shook the jasper-colored cup in his hand, "Even if you are tired, after Lord Xuan takes office, wouldn't you have to find out clearly." ”
The catty of this military department is like this glass of wine, which is crystal clear, but no one moves or asks.
Xuan Wenbin's eyes focused on Pei Yang's cup, and said innocently: "What ability do I have to check?" There's also Shangshu-sama on it. I can only continue to pretend to be stupid, hahahahahaha. ”
After that, they raised their glasses and drank again, laughing loudly, and the two of them tacitly agreed.
