Qing Feng saw that his master's face was worse than when he came, and he felt heavy in his heart. After thinking about it, she asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you want to enter the palace to meet the queen mother?" ”
Wuyang pursed his slightly pale lips, and there seemed to be a hint of hesitation in his expression. After a few moments of silence, she shook her head and refused.
Now she is still wearing filial piety after all, and she is not suitable for entering the palace, and it is better to let the queen mother calm down first.
Wuyang was distraught and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.
Originally, it was a big crime to be corrupt and bribe, and to form a party for personal gain, but according to the law, it would not implicate the nine clans, but firearms were also found.
The Dasheng Dynasty strictly controlled firearms, and it was a felony to possess firearms privately!
It is not a pity that Cheng'en Gong died, but there are more people in the nine clans of the Xie family who are innocent, and they have no idea what Cheng Engong did.
Qingfeng saw that Wuyang was upset, silently lit a calming incense for her, and quietly lifted the corner of the curtain to breathe.
When the curtain was lifted, Qingfeng saw a familiar shadow on the side of the street, and his eyes lit up.
It's not ......
"Four girls of Duanmu!" Qingfeng blurted out.
Wuyang, who was originally absent-minded, came back to his senses at this time, and followed Qingfeng's line of sight to look at a dim sum shop on the side of the street, and saw Duanmu Fei, who was wrapped in a crimson cloak, standing in the middle of a long line, obviously queuing up to buy dim sum.
Duanmu Fei didn't notice Wuyang's vermilion wheel at all, and looked at the direction of the dim sum shop with burning eyes.
Just looking at Duanmu Fei's side face like this, Wuyang suddenly felt a little lighter, and instructed the groom to park the vermilion wheel on the side of the street.
Qingfeng got out of the car and walked quickly to Duanmufei's side, Duanmufei immediately looked at Wuyang in the direction pointed by Qingfeng, and smiled.
Duanmu Fei summoned Bi Chan to continue queuing for her, and she followed Qingfeng towards the vermilion wheeled car, walking lightly and smiling.
"Sister Wuyang!" Duanmu Fei didn't get on the vermilion wheeler, and stood directly outside the window to talk to Wuyang.
Duanmu Fei guessed that she had just gone to the Cheng'en Mansion as soon as she saw the direction from which Wuyang came, and she didn't ask much, and gossiped with her with a smile: "Sister Wuyang, my sister and I are going to visit our grandmother in Xiangyun Lane later." As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to a carriage parked at the mouth of an alley diagonally opposite, "I'll stop by to buy some dim sum from Xiang Su Ji, and the dim sum is still the best when it was just baked!" ”
As she spoke, the long line at the door of Xiang Crispy Ji made some movement, and a new furnace of dim sum came out, and the long winding line began to shorten.
Duanmu Fei smiled and said: "Sister Wuyang, I remember that you like to eat rose cakes, the rose cakes in Xiangji are very good, I asked Bi Chan to buy several boxes, how about you try it too?" ”
On the street, the spring breeze gusted, bringing the fragrance of the crispy side to them, and a sweet smell peculiar to rose snacks penetrated their noses.
Wuyang smiled slightly, and the tiredness between his eyebrows seemed to dissipate with this smile, and said, "Sister Scarlet, then the palace will not be polite to you." ”
Qingfeng rubbed the handkerchief hesitantly on the side, looked at Wuyang for a while, looked at Duanmu Fei for a while, and bit his lower lip slightly.
Bi Chan quickly bought the dim sum, trotted towards Duanmu Fei and Wuyang, and said with a smile: "Fourth girl, the slave maid bought an extra box of each dim sum. ”
Bi Chan smiled very cutely, and there was a bit of invitation between the words, as if to say, four girls, the slave is clever enough.
As a result, Wuyang not only got a box of rose cake, but also an additional box of corn bee cake, mille-feuille and walnut cake, all steaming hot.
Duanmu Fei didn't stay long, and after giving a snack, he waved goodbye to Wuyang: "Sister Wuyang, I told my grandmother that I would leave first." I'll see you next time. ”
Wuyang also waved goodbye to Duanmu Fei, Qingfeng looked at the back of Duanmu Fei leaving, and hesitated even more, and called in a whisper: "Your Highness......" She wanted to say whether to let Duanmu Fei help intercede with other innocent clansmen of the Xie family.
As soon as Wuyang saw Qingfeng's expression, he knew what she was thinking, and shook his head silently.
The things committed by the Cheng'en Mansion are not trivial, although she doesn't know what Cheng Engong has committed in terms of corruption, but it involves tens of millions of taels of silver, and those silvers are definitely not clean, I am afraid they are all stained with blood and human lives!
This is no longer a family matter, but a court matter!
When it comes to court affairs, she goes to ask Duanmu Fei, which will only make Duanmu Fei embarrassed.
Moreover, if Duanmu Scarlet really begged Cen Yin, it would affect her......
Wuyang sighed slightly, she also knew that the reason why Duanmu Fei had a transcendent status in Beijing now, and everyone respected her a little, was not because she was a girl from the Duanmu family, but because she was looking at Cen Yin's face.
She couldn't let Duanmu Fei dislike Cen Yin for herself.
Wuyang quietly looked at Duanmu Fei's back and watched her get into the carriage.
Duanmu's carriage soon traveled west along the street, turning around in Beijing, and came to Xiangyun Lane after a stick of incense.
Mrs. Li had already sent the housekeeper to wait at the gate, and the housekeeper personally led Duanmujun and Duanmufei to Mrs. Li's house.
In the house, there was even an acquaintance.
"Imperial Doctor Zhao!"
The two sisters greeted Imperial Physician Zhao with a smile.
Imperial Doctor Zhao politely arched his hand at the two of them, and said, "Duanmu eldest girl, fourth girl, the old man came over today to diagnose Mrs. Li's pulse." ”
Imperial Physician Zhao looked at Duanmufei's eyes shining, and said secretly: His luck today is really good.
Duanmujun and Imperial Physician Zhao are also quite familiar, Imperial Physician Zhao not only treated Mrs. Li, but last time Ji Lanzhou almost slipped the fetus, it was also Imperial Physician Zhao who took Imperial Physician He, who is good at gynecology, to Duanmu Mansion.
Duanmujun greeted Imperial Physician Zhao, greeted each other a few words, and asked about Mrs. Li's condition: "Imperial Physician Zhao, how is my grandmother?" But what should I pay attention to? ”
"The two girls can rest assured, Mrs. Li's body is already well, and she can also try to do Tai Chi or Wufowl Opera every day to move her body." Imperial Physician Zhao said with a smile, all questions must be answered, no matter how big or small, "Recently, there is a large temperature difference between morning and evening, Mrs. Li must pay attention not to catch a cold, so as not to get cold into the body." ”
Imperial Physician Zhao thought that the two sisters should have something to say to Mrs. Li, so he didn't stay for long, and said goodbye with a smile: "Duanmu girl, fourth girl, the old man is going back to the Tai Hospital, so I will leave first." ”
Mrs. Li then instructed the housekeeper to send Imperial Doctor Zhao for her.
In the past few months, Imperial Doctor Zhao has come to Mrs. Li's house every five days to ask Mrs. Li for peace, and Mrs. Li knows who this is aimed at.
Mrs. Li looked at Duanmufei and then at Duanmuxuan, and there was an indescribable subtlety in her heart.
The two sisters sat down around Mrs. Li, and Duanmu smiled and said obediently: "Grandmother, I brought you the dim sum of Xiang Su Ji on the way here, the dim sum of Xiang Su Ji is delicious, and every time the furnace comes out, it is immediately sold out, and I still queued up for a long time to buy it." ”
The big girl quickly took the boxes of dim sum and hurriedly went down to put them on the plate.
Mrs. Li grabbed Duanmufei's little hand and patted it, and said lovingly: "Grandmother knows that you are filial!" ”
"Yes, grandmother, Zhen Zhen thinks about you every day, and knows that gastrodia is good for paralysis, so she asked someone to go to Changbai Mountain to find some high-quality gastrodia. She has also flipped through a lot of recipes in the past few days, and found you eighteen kinds of medicinal diet recipes containing gastrodia. Duanmu Jun smiled and asked for credit for his sister.
Duanmu Fei raised her chin, and her triumphant little appearance almost wrote the words "I am the most filial" on her face, which made Mrs. Li laugh and said cooperatively: "My sister is the most filial!" ”
The sisters were also laughing, the younger sister was smiling cutely, the older sister was smiling brightly, and the crisp laughter of the two filled the air.
Looking at this pair of harmonious sisters, Mrs. Li was very pleased, the whole person was radiant, according to her, there was no better girl than these two girls in the whole capital!
Unfortunately......
Mrs. Li's gaze fell on Duanmujun's increasingly delicate face, and her mood became complicated again.
Mrs. Li settled down, stopped thinking about those things, and asked casually: "Sister Fei, what have you been busy with lately?" How's your homework? ”
Duanmu Fei smiled stupidly at Mrs. Li, and remembered humbly that she had promised her grandfather to go to the women's school "in a few days" last time, but then she was "busy" and forgot about it.
Duanmu Fei avoided his homework and didn't mention it, and counted his fingers seriously and said, "Grandmother, I've been busy lately, in addition to finding you a medicinal recipe, I also have to embroider a cloak for Ah Yan." ”
"I also carved a new chapter for my grandfather."
“……”
"By the way, the day before yesterday, my sister and I went to the outskirts of Beijing with Cen Gongzi to release paper kites! Recently, the suburbs of Beijing have been much more peaceful, and there are not so many displaced people, so when the weather is warmer, we will take you to go to Qingqing together! ”
Mrs. Li heard Cen Gongzi coldly, and she was accidentally choked and coughed violently.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Duanmujun hurriedly stroked Mrs. Li's back, gave her a good breath, and brought her the tea cup on the side, making sure that the tea temperature was just right, and then sent it to Mrs. Li, and said softly: "Grandmother, drink some tea." ”
Mrs. Li drank two sips of warm tea and quickly recovered, but her face was slightly flushed with cough.
"Grandmother, do you have a cold? Why don't you ask a doctor to come back and take a look at you? ”
Catching Duan Mujun's concerned gaze, Mrs. Li waved her hand and said, "I'm fine." It's just a momentary disappointment. ”
As her breath calmed down, Mrs. Li also calmed down, and comforted herself in her heart: I don't want to think about it, didn't she think about it a long time ago......
At this time, the eldest girl brought up a few plates of dim sum, and Mrs. Li beckoned the two girls to eat dim sum together.
The three of them drank tea and ate snacks at the same time.
Mrs. Li was old, and she didn't dare to eat more sweets, so after eating a piece, she ordered it until she arrived, and chatted with her along the topic of Duanmu Fei: "Sister Fei, is it fun to put paper kites?" ”
"It's fun!" Duanmu smiled and danced, "The paper kite was made by me and my sister, my sister tied the skeleton, and I drew the pattern." Our paper kites are flying high! ”
"It's just that Xiaoba, this guy loves to make trouble, he always chases the paper kite, and almost didn't peck the paper kite, but fortunately Cen Gongzi controlled it."
"This little villain, obviously I am its master, but if it doesn't listen to me, it will listen to Master Cen! It has been at Gongzi Cen for months and has not been home! ”
Duanmu pouted and complained with a smile.
Bi Cicada on the side lowered her eyes silently, and said in her heart: Yes, Xiaoba has been living in Lord Cen's house for several months, and her own girl simply gave Xiaoba to Lord Inspector Cen, no wonder Xiaoba didn't listen to the girl.
Duanmu Jun smiled silently, and in those dark and beautiful willow eyes, his eyes became softer and sparkling.
Mrs. Li naturally noticed the subtle change on Duanmujun's face, and said secretly: Where can Cen Yin rarity a starling, this is probably "Love House and Wu".
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li felt a little stuffy in her heart again, and comforted herself again: I don't want to, I don't want to!
For fear that Duanmu Fei would continue to talk about it, the topic would always surround Cen Yin, so Mrs. Li simply took the initiative to change the topic: "Sister Jun, Sister Fei, I received a letter from your grandfather two days ago. ”
Duanmufei's eyes lit up and asked, "Grandfather, are they good, what did he say in the letter?" ”
"Didn't you give your grandfather an idea last time?" Mrs. Li said with a smile, looking at the little girl's eyes in addition to love, there was a touch of amazement.
At that time, Duanmufei proposed to let the Minzhou Health and Dart Bureau collect money from the merchant ships, and at that time, Mrs. Li thought that this idea was shocking, but she didn't expect it......
Mrs. Li continued: "At first, most of the merchant ships were repulsed, only a few local merchants in Minzhou paid the silver, and then sailed along the route given by your uncle, and then those caravans encountered Japanese pirates at sea several times, and the navy arrived immediately and rescued the merchant ships. ”
In fact, the reason why these Minzhou merchants paid money at that time was just to give face to the Li family, after all, the peace in Minzhou in recent years has benefited from the Li family.
"Since then, more and more merchant ships have taken the initiative to join, and now this project is going very well, thanks to you."
Merchants seek profits, and those merchants are naturally moved when they hear that those merchant ships have avoided the bad luck of shipwrecks and deaths.
"Your grandfather asked me to ask you, what 'reward' do you want?" The smile on Mrs. Li's face deepened, and she lovingly rubbed the soft top of the little girl's hair. This girl is really loved.
Mrs. Li said, and Duanmufei was not polite to her, "Then you can ask my grandfather for two carts of tea!" ”
The little girl loves tea as her life, which Mrs. Li also knows, the little girl not only loves to make tea and divide tea, but also likes to make all kinds of flower tea, and eats with tea, which is simply a "little tea idiot".
"Good, good." Mrs. Li responded with a smile, "I was writing a letter to your grandfather, and I happened to mention ...... to him."
As she spoke, Mrs. Li looked towards a mahogany bookcase on the northeast side of the room, on which was covered with a piece of silk paper, pressed with a white porcelain paperweight, and the wolf pen with ink on the tip of the pen rested on the pen rest, and before a few lines of words had been written on the letterhead, it was interrupted by the visit of Imperial Physician Zhao.
The reason why Mrs. Li wrote this letter was not a whim, but a reason.
Thinking that this matter had something to do with the Duanmu family, Mrs. Li said frankly: "This morning, His Royal Highness the Great Prince came in person, saying that he wanted to discuss with me the marriage between His Royal Highness the Fourth Princess and Brother You. ”
It stands to reason that the Li family is a minister, and the marriage of the royal princess should be decided by the royal family, and the Li family can only cooperate.
Duanmujun and Duanmufei glanced at each other, and Duanmujun smiled and said, "Cousin Hanxing has already arrived, and it should have been done earlier." Grandmother, if there is anything that can be used to me in my cousin's marriage, you must not be polite to me! ”
Mrs. Li nodded, "It was also because the emperor was seriously ill and didn't wake up, so he didn't fit to mention marriage, so he kept delaying it." ”
Originally, Li Tingyou and Han Xing were both at the age of talking about marriage, and of course the Li family wanted to marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible so as to continue the bloodline.
"However," Mrs. Li frowned slightly, her face seemed to be a little hesitant, "The emperor has just woken up, why is he in such ......a hurry" The princess's wedding should be presided over by the emperor, with the emperor's current dragon body, I am afraid that it will not be able to appear at the wedding at all.
Duanmu pursed her lips, and the smile on the corner of her lips was put away.
After a moment of silence, she whispered meaningfully, "I'm afraid there will be something wrong." ”
There was a dead silence in the room.
Mrs. Li's brows furrowed even tighter, and she chuckled in her heart. The little granddaughter means......
Catching up with the complicated eyes of Mrs. Li and Duanmujun, Duanmufei simply said it bluntly: "For example, the emperor is a big trip." ”
Mrs. Li's heart skipped a beat, and she picked up the teacup again and drank a few sips of warm tea before she calmed down a little.
When Duanmu Fei said this, Mrs. Li also understood.
The emperor is in a big line, and Han Xing, as a princess, must be filial to her father, so that the marriage will be delayed for three years.
Moreover, the current court situation is complicated, and although the emperor has woken up, he has not yet decided on the candidate for the crown prince.
To put it mildly, this time is different from the past, with the current situation of the emperor, I am afraid that the choice of the crown prince is not something he can decide.
Mrs. Li glanced at Duanmu Fei quietly, thinking of Mu Yan, the son of Emperor Chongming, who was far away in the south at this moment.
If Mu Yan really ascends the throne in the future, then the princess Hanxing will be a little unjustifiable.
Duanmu Guifei should also know this, if the wedding drags on to three years later, Hanxing may inevitably suffer some "neglect".
This is also a piece of Duanmu Guifei's motherly heart.
Of course, the Li family doesn't care if Hanxing is a princess, after this year of getting along, Mrs. Li also likes Hanxing's little girl, besides, Li Tingyou's age is not young.
It seems that in the blink of an eye, the little doll that was waiting to be fed in the past has grown into the appearance of the jade tree in the wind, and now she is going to marry a daughter-in-law again, Mrs. Li has a feeling of time flies, and said with a smile: "It's okay, your cousin gets married early, and I can go back to Minzhou with confidence." ”
As soon as Duanmujun and Duanmufei heard that Mrs. Li was going back to Minzhou, their faces showed a little reluctance. It's not good to keep her old man all the time, after all, the Li family is in Minzhou, and Minzhou is her grandmother's home.
My grandmother was going back after all.
Duanmujun silently began to think about what to prepare to send to his maternal grandfather and several uncles and aunts in Minzhou.
Duanmu patted his chest and said with a smile: "Grandmother, you can go back with confidence." My cousin is in the capital, and I'm covered! She deliberately said witty things to make the old man happy.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
Mrs. Li couldn't laugh at all when she heard this, and sighed secretly in her heart: Hey, in fact, she is not so "relieved"!
Looking at this pair of beautiful sisters, Mrs. Li was worried, she didn't have the strength to worry about her eldest granddaughter and Cen Yin, but she didn't expect that her little granddaughter was even more worried!
Why are her two granddaughters so "twists and turns" in marriage!
At this moment, a breeze with the fragrance of flowers blew in from the window, blowing a corner of the silk paper pressed on the desk, and "rattling" like the wings of a moth flapping on the lampshade.
Mrs. Li looked at the silk paper in a daze, full of worries but no one to say.
In particular, this matter is not suitable for writing in a letter.
Back then, because Mu Yan helped the Li family, the Li family was tied to Mu Yan's boat early, in a sense, Mu Yan's accession to the throne was a good thing for the Li family.
However, in fact, the Li family has not been able to do anything for Mu Yan in the past few years, and Mu Yan has smoothly come to this point by himself. Since the Li family has no merit, they will not have the face to "coerce" Mu Yan to treat their granddaughter well in the future.
