Chapter 66: Washington
Yin Xuan pursed his lips and said, "Whatever you want, if you insist on doing this, I can't stop it." ”
After Yin Xuan said that, she carried Nie Qingwan back to her own chair, and was about to get up and leave, but Nie Qingwan called out to him again.
Since Yin Xuan agreed to let Huatu continue to investigate the queen's poisoning case, then Nie Qingwan had to go back to Washington.
Nie Qingwan raised her head, looked at him, and said with a smile: "Today, my father has been crowned an official, the mansion must be very lively, I want to go back and see, I don't know what Washington is like, I can't see any fame just by looking at the drawings, it's better to go home and take a look." ”
Yin Xuan thought for a while and said, "Let's go at night, I'll go with you at night." ”
Nie Qingwan said: "I want to go during the day." ”
Yin Xuan said: "Why do you have to go during the day? ”
Nie Qingwan said: "It's lively during the day. ”
Yin Xuan smiled, walked over directly, picked her up, sat in her place, he put her on his lap, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said with a smile: "Do you like to be lively so much?" If you like it, hold more banquets in the palace in the future, and let the ministers' families bring their children over and be lively with you. ”
Nie Qingwan said: "I like to be lively, but I don't like trouble. ”
Yin Xuan said: "It won't be troublesome, you just leave these things to Ao Jiang and Ning Zhai, they will handle it, you just need to dress up and participate in the excitement." ”
Nie Qingwan looked up at him and said with an unhappy face: "You just don't allow me to leave the palace in the daytime, do you?" ”
Yin Xuan frowned: "I want to review the folds during the day, and I can't accompany you." ”
Nie Qingwan said: "I'll go by myself." ”
Yin Xuan had a calm face: "If you don't accompany you, you don't want to go anywhere." ”
Nie Qingwan said: "Then you can move the excerpts over and let my father make room for you to make a study, and you will approve your excerpts in Washington and deliver the food to you during the meal." ”
Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "You let me go secretly?" ”
Nie Qingwan said: "So as not to frighten everyone." ”
Yin Xuan glared at her coldly, he was the king of a country, and he was treated like this by her, just don't let him go to Washington openly, and don't let him come out to eat, so he nests in the study to eat.
Yin Xuan turned his head and ignored her angrily.
But Nie Qingwan felt that this method was very good, hugged his arm, put his whole body up, and said happily: "Anyway, the emperor wants to approve the fold, and you can't let the ministers know that you went to Washington, otherwise, where can you still approve the fold?" It's quiet and hassle-free, which is really good. ”
Yin Xuan snorted coldly, thinking, where is it good? Using me to stuff me into my study after I returned to Washington is indeed good for you, but it is not good for me at all.
But seeing her rare happy appearance, he was very useless again.
He pursed his lips and said, "At noon, you personally deliver food to me." ”
Nie Qingwan smiled: "Okay." ”
Yin Xuan then deigned to go to Washington, and did not let anyone know, the palace only knew that Concubine Wan returned to Washington today, and the emperor gave the royal carriage, but he didn't know that there was still a person sitting in the carriage, and when the mighty team set off from the palace and went to Wuhua Street, the carriage did not stop, and drove directly into the gate of Washington.
Today's Washington is indeed lively, and the excitement is simply not like words.
Early in the morning, I heard that Huatu was sealed as the secretary of the criminal department, and many people came to the door with congratulatory gifts to congratulate them, and by noon, there might be many people, and there might be more at night.
It was still early, just after breakfast, and those people came and went, but they did not meet the royal carriage.
When they kneeled there, they kowtowed, although they knew that only Concubine Wan was sitting inside, but as soon as the dragon drove out, it was equivalent to the emperor's arrival, just the carriage, they all had to kneel.
Nie Qingwan didn't get out of the carriage, she didn't want those people to kneel in front of her, worship and worship, she never liked to do superficial work, she didn't like it when she was the queen mother, and it was the same now.
Sitting in the carriage, although it was impossible to avoid those people's bowing, at least, it was quiet.
Yin Xuan has been looking at the excerpts since he was sitting in the carriage, waiting with the sea to the side, and he didn't dare to show up, wouldn't he expose the emperor's traces as soon as he appeared? Yes, he obediently stayed by Yin Xuan's side, serving whatever he wanted.
Nie Qingwan and Wang Yunyao were in the carriage, Huandong and Huanxi were outside, and after the group entered, Huatu, Yuan Boxi, Huazhou, including Xie Baocheng, Xie Youhan and Wang Yunzhi, all hurriedly ran to the front of the carriage, happily to welcome Nie Qingwan, and as a result, there was indeed Nie Qingwan who was happy to welcome out, but there was also the emperor.
When the six people saw Yin Xuan coming out of the carriage, they were all startled, first stunned, and then hurriedly saluted.
Today, Yin Xuan is wearing a regular clothes, not a yellow or black dragon robe, but a royal blue straight jacket, with a jade belt around his waist, buckled with a dragon pei Yingluo, a long jade body, full of style, he followed Nie Qingwan down, and after coming down, he glanced at the six people kneeling on the ground, and said to Huatu: "Get up, clean up a study for me." ”
Hua Tu didn't know why, but he still got up quickly and asked Yan Yi to immediately go and pack up a proper study and come out.
When the study was ready, Yin Xuan asked people to move the fold over, and he didn't call Nie Qingwan to accompany him, and went directly with Suihai.
Because he came out secretly and didn't dare to bring the forbidden army, Li Donglou pretended to be at the door of the imperial study.
Waiting for the door of the study to close, Huatu was puzzled, fortunately this is the backyard, the carriage came all the way here, no guests saw it, Huatu and his party only arrived last night, returned to the house to wash up and sleep, there is no servant or slave in the house at present, they brought some people when they came, but it is not enough, and they need to buy another, this matter Huatu has been handed over to Xie Baocheng and Xie Youhan to do.
Although Huatu and his party just came, the mansion was fine, but because Nie Qingwan was a concubine and Huatu was an official, someone in Washington had come to the door since dawn, so Yan Yi, the housekeeper, could not be separated, and the next things were handed over to the Xie brothers and Wang Yunzhi.
There are no outsiders, and no one has seen Yin Xuan.
However, the emperor wants to work and approve excerpts, so he doesn't stay in the imperial study, what is he doing in Washington?
Come on, why be so silent?
Huatu was puzzled and went to find Nie Qingwan.
Nie Qingwan was happily pulled into her yard by Yuan Boxi at this time, Washington Mansion is huge, and the house is also extremely rich, the house in Shangjing is much better than the house next to it, plus this is what Yin Xuan told Ning Zhai to do it personally, can Ning Zhai not do it? Although he did not interfere in the arrangement of the maidservants, he personally supervised everything and scenery in this house, including flowers and trees.
There are a total of five courtyards, the first two are for the maidservants to live and entertain, and the last three are for the master's own use.
Yin Xuanjin's study is the fourth entrance, while Huatu, Yuan Boxi, Huazhou, Xie Baocheng, Xie Youhan, and Wang Yunzhi live in the third entrance.
The fifth entrance is still empty, there is spacious, temporarily useless, and later changed into a martial arts training ground, exclusively for Huazhou, Huatu, Xie Baocheng, Xie Youhan and Wang Yunzhi to practice martial arts.
There are many courtyards in the Sanjin Courtyard, Huatu and Yuan Boxi live in the Xiaoxiao Courtyard, Huazhou lives in the Qingzhou Pavilion, Xie Baocheng lives in the Zhufeng Courtyard, Xie Youhan lives in the Fujing Pavilion, and Wang Yunzhi lives in the Sanyu Residence.
Yuan Boxi pulled Nie Qingwan to the Filial Piety Academy, and Huazhou also followed.
Because she was not in the palace and returned to her home, Nie Qingwan didn't let Wang Yunyao serve her closely, it was enough for her to have Huandong and Huanxi by her side, so Wang Yunyao was taken away by Wang Yunzhi.
Xie Baocheng and Xie Youhan went to buy maids and servants for Washington, and the institution that controlled this area in the imperial capital was called the Zhongya Prison, which was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and there was a deacon and a directory, all of whom belonged to the official positions of the six grades, the deacon's surname was Yue, the single name was Ranzi, the recorder's surname was Wei, and the single name was a Jizi, and these two people were in charge of the file information of the maids and servants in all the houses in the imperial capital Huaicheng.
During the period of Emperor Yinzu, there was no such institution as the Zhongya Prison, which was added after the Empress Dowager took power.
The reason why the people support her so much, love her, and worship her as a god is because she thinks about what the people think, thinks about what the people think, and does what the people do.
Later, after the establishment of the Central Dental Prison, their lives were guaranteed, and if they did not commit a capital crime, but were killed by the master for no reason, the master would also be imprisoned.
At the beginning, after the establishment of this institution, it was indeed obstructed by many powerful people in every way, making trouble, and doing everything, but after the Queen Mother even beheaded the thirteen people who made trouble, everyone was silent, and they didn't dare to say a word.
Although he was dissatisfied, he had to be forced by the Queen Mother's Long Wei to stop.
Later, Yin Xuan ascended the throne and continued this institution.
At this point, no one dared to complain, and because of this, the personnel control of the Great Yin Empire became more and more sound, and the order and safety of the entire imperial capital Huaicheng were also guaranteed.
Xie Baocheng and Xie Youhan went to the Zhongya Prison, registered, paid the deposit, and returned to Washington.
Back in Washington, the two went to report to Huatu.
Huatu was already in the Filial Piety Academy at this time, he looked at Nie Qingwan and asked in a low voice: "Why did the emperor come to Washington to approve the folds, the imperial study can't be used today?" ”
Nie Qingwan and Yuan Boxi sat together, there were many fruit plates on the table, and there were also all kinds of pastries, these fruits and pastries were all bought by Yuan Boxi early this morning when Yuan Boxi asked Mama Guan Yiru to go with the big girl Huan Qu Meng, there was also a tea tray on the table, Huandong was peeling grapes, Huanxi was peeling oranges, Guan Yiru and Qu Meng were not idle, they were peeling fruits for Yuan Boxi, several women were eating, waiting, and busy.
Nie Qingwan swallowed the grapes, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and smiled at Hua Tu: "The emperor is coming, I can't stop it, the imperial study can be used, but he doesn't want to use it, who can force him to use it, he can come if he wants to, as long as he doesn't cause trouble to his father and mother." ”
Huazhou sat on the side, the little guy Gui Yuan was serving him tea, and after hearing Nie Qingwan's words, Gui Yuan couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Nie Qingwan.
Huazhou also felt that Nie Qingwan's words were too presumptuous, he glared at Nie Qingwan, and said: "I told you in the palace yesterday, don't be spoiled, you can be favored today, tomorrow may be what the situation will be, speak in a measured manner, the emperor can come to Washington, for us, it is a flourish, how can it be trouble." ”
Huatu said: "Your brother is right, just say it in front of us, don't say it in front of the emperor, it will anger the emperor, you will feel good." ”
Yuan Boxi also said: "Listen to your father and brother, remember?" ”
Nie Qingwan said: "Remember." ”
Huatu said: "The emperor came like this, he seemed to be quiet, did he not want to alarm anyone?" ”
Nie Qingwan said: "Yes, I still have to bring him food at noon." ”
Huatu was stunned.
Huazhou was also stunned.
Yuan Boxi was stunned.
However, I have never heard of such a thing, the emperor went to the minister's house, but he couldn't go out, he didn't eat, and he was sent to the study.
The three of them pursed their lips silently, with mixed feelings in their hearts, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.
Before the three of them put down the mixed tastes in their hearts, Xie Baocheng and Xie Youhan came in, and seeing that Nie Qingwan was also there, the two stepped forward one after another, and then smiled and said a few words to her, and then reported to Huatu that they had gone to the Zhongya Prison to register and paid a deposit, and they could probably go to pick someone in the afternoon.
Huatu said that he knew, and was about to let the two of them go to see Wang Yunyao, but as a result, Yan Yi came to report that Mrs. Chen was here.
Mrs. Chen's words were a little ambiguous, and Hua Tu didn't understand who it was for a while, so she asked, "Which house?" ”
Yan Yi said: "Chen Guogong's family." ”
Huatu was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yuan Boxi, Yuan Boxi stood up, and said, "I'll go to greet you." ”
Hua Tu waved his hand: "Chen Guogong is the grandfather of Empress Chen, and the people in his house are expensive, so you should be careful to entertain them." ”
Yuan Boxi said: "Don't worry, I still handle these things well." ”
Huatu stopped talking.
Yuan Boxi took the handkerchief handed over by Guan Yiru, wiped his hands, and then asked Nie Qingwan to rest at home for a while, if she wanted to come out to see the yard, let them take her to go shopping, let her not go shopping alone, Nie Qingwan responded, Yuan Boxi took Guan Yiru and Qu Meng, went to the door, and greeted Mrs. Chen.
When I arrived at the door, I found that Mrs. Chen was not one, but four.
When Yuan Boxi first came to Huaicheng, the imperial capital, he didn't know about the ladies of these dignitaries in Huaicheng, so he asked them one by one with a smile, and the four ladies were also kind, and introduced themselves to each other with a smile, Yuan Boxi only then knew that it was the four daughters-in-law of the Chen family, and she hurriedly brought people in, ordered Guan Yiru and Qu Meng to serve tea, and brought over the fruits and snacks that they went to buy this morning.
Yu Feifei said with a smile: "All the way in, I don't seem to see many servants, the courtyard is quite deserted, I heard that the house was bought by the emperor, didn't you assign a palace maid to come over?" ”
Yuan Boxi glanced at her, and said with a smile: "The palace maid is used in the palace, how dare we use it, Mrs. Chen said this, and it spread out, and others still think that our Washington Mansion compares itself to the palace, which is very disrespectful." ”
Yu Feifei said with a smile: "Look at me, thinking that Concubine Wan is favored, the emperor loves Wujiwu, and must also love her family, but she said the wrong thing, too, no matter how pampered you are, it will also make the difference between a monarch and a minister." ”
Yuan Boxi smiled and said nothing.
Hu Peihong said: "My sister-in-law is a straight gut when she speaks, princess, don't mind, princess, we are here to congratulate the princess today, if we make the princess unhappy, it will be rude." ”
Yuan Boxi said: "Second Mrs. Chen is serious, our family has just entered the imperial capital, and the four of us came to visit, this is the honor of Washington, how can I be unhappy, naturally I am happy, eat some fruit, this is what I asked the maids to buy on the street this morning, it is all fresh." ”
Hu Peihong said thank you and asked Yahuan to peel an orange to eat.
Zhang Ruoshui looked at this mansion and said with a smile: "I have a good relationship with the princess, this house was originally owned by our Zhang family, and it is also an ancestral house, and then the Zhang family moved to Range Rover Street, this house is empty, as an ancestral house, it is not sold out, but the emperor wants this house, even if my father is no longer willing, he still reluctantly cuts his love, and now this house has a new look, but I can't see the original appearance." ”
Yuan Boxi was slightly startled and said, "This was originally the Zhang family's house?" ”
Zhang Ruoshui smiled: "Yes." ”
Yuan Boxi said: "That's really fate." ”
Zhang Ruoshui said with a smile: "It is a blessing for the Zhang family to be able to have a fate with the princess." ”
Yuan Boxi smiled and asked Zhang Ruoshui to take fruit snacks to eat, Zhang Ruoshui glanced at her, thinking that when the princess of Washington didn't want to reply to others, she was very polite, and she stuffed it directly.
Zhang Ruoshui asked Yahuan to peel grapes and eat them.
Weng Yuqian didn't speak, she sat quietly, listening to the eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law talking to this Yuan Boxi, she quietly ate the pastries on the plate.
The three of them didn't care about her, eating fruit while chatting with Yuan Boxi.
chatting and chatting about Yan Yi came to report again, saying that Mrs. Ning is here, Mrs. Dou is here, Mrs. Li is here, Mrs. Wang is here, and a large number of ladies have been reported, Yuan Boxi didn't understand any of them, she didn't know any of these ladies, but since people came, they couldn't help but entertain, she asked the four ladies of the Chen family to sit first, and she went to the door to greet people.
The four ladies of the Chen family nodded with a smile, signaling her to be casual.
Mrs. Ning is from the Ning family, Ning Zhai's wife, Mrs. Dou is from the Dou family, in addition to Dou Fuze's wife, there is also Dou Hong's wife, Dou Hong wants to be higher than Dou Fuze's generation, and is Dou Fuze's third uncle, and then said that Dou Hong's wife should not be allowed to come, but Dou Fuze's wife, the entire imperial capital Huaicheng, knows that she is a spicy person who can't speak, so she has to let Dou Hong's wife also come, Mrs. Li is the wife of the Li family, Li Gongjin's wife, Mrs. Wang is the wife of the Wang family, and Wang Yuzhou's wife.
Several people came to Washington one after another, and were greeted by Yuan Boxi with a smile.
Later, I heard that these ladies went to Washington, and those who heard the trend also hurriedly brought gifts and came to the door one after another to congratulate them.
For a while, Washington was extremely lively.
Some ladies also brought their daughters when they came, because this Washington is obviously blessed with holy grace, and it is unlimited in the future, and in addition to a daughter, Washington also has a son, and the son is at the age of marriage and has not yet been married.
said that he came to congratulate, but in fact, he also came to be able to get married.
In this way, there are beautiful women in Washington.
And the excitement in the front yard can't be transmitted to the backyard at all, although I know that Concubine Wan Guifei has returned to Washington today, no one dares to say that she will go to see them, and Nie Qingwan will not go to see them, she will go back to the house, but she has something to do.
After Yuan Boxi left, Nie Qingwan asked Huazhou to take her to see the courtyard.
The first time she came back, of course, she had to take a good look, although her real home was in Nie Mansion, but now, Hua Beijiao's home is here, she has to come back here in the future, and she can't tell the door to her home.
Huazhou responded, first took her to Qingzhou Pavilion, and then took her to the Zhufeng Courtyard and Fujing Pavilion where Xie Baocheng and Xie Youhan lived, and finally took her to Sanyuju, Wang Yunyao and Wang Yunzhi were in Sanyuju, Nie Qingwan stayed there for a while, and when she came out, she looked up at the sky, saw that the hour was almost noon, and thought that she was going to send food to Yin Xuan at noon, so she asked Yin Xuan where the place was, Huazhou took him there, and pointed to the Yunxiang Courtyard on the side, and said: "If the emperor is tired, you can let him rest in that courtyard, It's already packed. ”
Nie Qingwan said, "Got it." ”
Nie Qingwan didn't go in, and planned to go elsewhere to take a look, but Yin Xuan's martial arts were profound, and as soon as they came, he heard the voice, thinking that she would come in and take a look at herself, how long has it been? Coming here in the morning, it's almost noon now, she hasn't been here once, it's all at the door, why don't you come in to see him?
If she didn't enter, Yin Xuan sent to shout with the sea.
Sui Hai opened the door, turned around and was about to leave, Nie Qingwan smiled and said, "Concubine Wan, the emperor announced that you are in." ”
Nie Qingwan was nominated for a surname, and she couldn't go in if she didn't want to, Huazhou saw that she was announced by the emperor, and he didn't take her anywhere else, he took Guiyuan to find Xie Baocheng, Xie Youhan, Wang Yunzhi, Wang Yunyao, all four of them were in Sanyuju.
Nie Qingwan went into the study, and when she was at the door, Huandong and Huanxi were stopped.
Nie Qingwan entered the study alone, the study is not as good as the imperial study of the palace, the pattern is not big, but it is quiet, there is a window on both sides of the study, the direction of the window, on one side is the bamboo forest, on the other side is the lotus pond, the summer is hot, the house will be boring and uncomfortable if you don't put cold ice, but this study, as soon as you come in, you will feel the coolness of the face, Nie Qingwan thought, Yan Yi will really choose a place.
Yin Xuanda has been watching the music since he came out of the palace, and he didn't waste time when he was in the carriage, he nested in the study, and he didn't stop one after another, mainly because he wanted to finish it as soon as possible and spare some free time to accompany Nie Qingwan.
Originally, I was calm, but as soon as I heard her voice, I really wanted to see her, or hug her, kiss her, and I couldn't concentrate anymore, so I had to look at her.
As soon as Nie Qingwan entered, the door was closed by Sui Hai from the outside.
Yin Xuan stretched out his hand to her: "Come here." ”
Nie Qingwan walked over, Yin Xuan reached out and hugged her into his arms, leaned back in the long-backed chair, his chin against her hair, his face rubbed against her face, and he closed his eyes and rested slightly.
