Chapter 44 Xiangfu Fengyun 3
Qiu Yue carried the lantern and helped Quiet to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhang Yulong has already ordered someone to clean the embroidery building. It is a small two-story building. Upstairs, the room was full of books.
There is a row of bookshelves against the wall. The shelves are neatly stacked with books. But there was a little dust on the book. There are many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. The word is beautiful and feminine. Painting, lifelike. By the window is a desk, the four treasures of the study, neatly placed. There is also a guqin next to the desk. It's also covered with a layer of dust.
"This was my young lady's boudoir! Now the old lady is giving it to the little princess. Qiu Yue lifted the beaded curtain, and inside was a bedroom. A large bed with a red tent. The rosewood bed frame is carved with delicate flowers, birds, fish and insects. The bed was covered with brand new futon.
Next to it is a dresser, and a diamond mirror has been wiped clean.
The wardrobe is empty. The old clothes have been removed. The new garments were made at the Royal Fashion Bureau. It will take some time to get it.
Quietly sit down by the dresser. Qiu Yue brought hot water, washed her face and feet, and served her to rest. "Sister Qiuyue, how about we drink some tea and chat?" Quietly sat on the bed and said. "Yes, Princess!"
Qiu Yue brought a coffee table and placed it next to the bed. I made a pot of fragrant tea and took two tea cups. The master and servant sat opposite each other and tasted tea.
"Why hasn't the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion met?" Put down the teacup quietly. "The old lady has passed away for many years, and the second lady Wu is in her mother's house and has not returned home." Qiu Yue looked at the princess and smiled.
"Why is Sister Qiuyue laughing?" Quiet puzzled. "Xiangye has a concubine, eighteen this year, her name is Huarong, that is really a raw flower and moon appearance, and it is a little similar to the little princess. But he is unusually rude. In the house, she even has to reprimand the prime minister! For others, she is beating and scolding. Everyone looked upon him like a plague god. Qiu Yue said with a little shudder.
"Then Xiangye can endure it?" The silence was surprising. "She is the old lady's personal maid, and the old lady misses the old days, so he doesn't dare to deal with her, so he can only let it go!" The autumn moon sighed for a long time.
"I'd like to meet this sister! Sister Qiuyue, we'll go right away! "Quiet curiosity is invincible.
"Oh my God! My little princess, what are we going to provoke? Tomorrow I can follow you out of this place, Princess! "Qiu Yue is about to cry.
"Sister Qiuyue, don't be afraid, there is me!" Silence comforts her.
"Alright! I'll take the little princess over to see it and go back. ”
Qiu Yue carried the lantern, and Silence followed, passing through a moon gate to another courtyard.
As soon as I arrived at the door of a large mansion, I heard a woman crying and scolding. "It's playing tricks again!" Qiu Yue's face was full of horror.
Silence doesn't care. She pulled Qiu Yue and went inside. Zhang Yulong was at the door, in a dilemma.
"Little Princess! Why haven't you slept yet? Zhang Yulong was surprised. I'll take a look at Sister Huarong. I'm going home tomorrow, so I'm here to say goodbye! ”
Zhang Yulong twisted a bitter gourd face and invited Quiet into the door.
A young woman with a graceful figure was lying on a soft couch crying and wiping away tears. "The princess has arrived, get up and take the ride!" Zhang Yulong pushed her.
"Where did the Bird Princess come from! You're teasing me again! If you don't settle the matter of making me a lady today, you won't come back in this life!" She turned her back to the door, swearing.
"Xiangye, I'll come!" Quietly helped Zhang Yulong to sit down on the chair.
"Flower looks!" She snapped. Hua Rong was startled and sat up. At first glance, it was a beautiful girl dressed luxuriously.
"Who? How did you get to my room? Hua Rong was very dissatisfied with a pretty face. I'm the Bird Princess you said! Silence flickered with two big eyes.
She looked up and down for a moment. suddenly yelled at Zhang Yulong: "You old killer, if you don't straighten me out, it turns out that you have another new love!" ”
"Slap" a loud slap. "You dare to hit me?" Hua Rong covered her hot face. "It's light to hit you!" Quiet shouted angrily.
Quietly shouted Qiu Yue: "Pull her down for me!" Qiu Yue saw this situation and gained momentum. Rolled up his sleeves and dragged the flower down.
"I tell you, there is a limit to the patience of this concubine. If you don't admit your mistake, I have a way to cure you! Quiet stood in front of her and scolded angrily. She sat on her knees, still unconvinced.
"You're not from the Prime Minister's Mansion, at most you're a guest. Why do you care about the family affairs of our prime minister's house? "The flower looks like a sharp tooth and a sharp mouth.
"Okay, you're amazing, I can tell you now, Zhang Kang, do you know each other? He is my father-in-law! Do you know who I'm from the Prime Minister's Mansion now? Quiet sneered.
"Zhang Kang? Even if it's it! So what? She crossed her eyes.
"If you are my grandfather's third-room wife, I naturally can't do anything to you. But just a concubine, I can do whatever I want from you! "It's quiet.
"Autumn Moon. You often go shopping on the streets, do you know where to go is the most lively? She squeezed her eyes and looked at Qiuyue. Let me think about it? Emerald Red Mansion? Yihongyuan? Yes, there are a lot of people in Yihong Courtyard, and there are a lot of swingers who frequent! "Qiu Yue pretends to be a troublemaker.
"Okay, Qiuyue, you go and invite the steward of Yihong Courtyard right away and pick someone up for me!" Wave your hand quietly. Qiu Yue turned around and gestured to leave.
When he was kicking in and out of the door, Hua Rong crawled over and hugged Qiu Yue's legs. "Qiuyue, don't go! Help me plead! “
"When you beat me and my sisters, why didn't you show mercy!" Qiuyue's heart was full of grief and indignation.
She turned around and knelt in front of Zhang Yulong, hugging his waist. "Xiangye, please save me, spare me!" She wept and trembled. Zhang Yulong looked quiet, quietly smiled and nodded.
Zhang Xiangye coughed lightly: "Princess, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, just spare this little girl!" ”
"It's still my grandfather who has a deep affection for you! Huarong, you come over to me! I have something to say. Silence slowed down.
"Princess! I have no beads, you can beat me and scold me, don't buy me! "She cried, she was really scared.
"Listen to me! For the sake of the minister's intercession, I will spare you for the time being. In the future, we must abide by the way of women. No more be rude and capricious, and oppress the good. To Xiangye, you must respect and love, after all, he is your husband! Be considerate of your servants and servants. Then the family will be safe! Do you remember? ”
"Remember, remember!" She kowtowed like pounded garlic. "Get up! In the future, I will come to visit my grandfather again, and if you are still like this, I will not forgive you again! Silence warned her.
"The slave knows it's wrong! Don't dare anymore! She nodded repeatedly. It's good to know what to do! Autumn moon, go and get a basin of hot water. Let the lady wash her face! Quiet commanded. Qiuyue called hot water, and Hua Rong accompanied her smiling face: "Thank you, Sister Qiuyue!" "I can't afford to thank you!" Qiu Yue was still angry.
"Sit next to me." Sit quietly on the couch. Hua Rong sat down. She picked up a comb and combed her long unkempt hair: "I want you to be a good wife, and a good mother, not a shrew that everyone hates." ”
The face of the flower is as red as a peach blossom. "The princess's precepts, the slave and maid are unforgettable!" Two pairs of white hands clasped together.
"There should be no admonition. Just exhortation. Life in the world is important in contentment. Don't be insatiable, and don't be pampered! Quietly, she listened quietly. Zhang Yulong on the side was also full of emotion.
Quietly get up and take your leave. "The princess won't sit for a while, let's talk more about family life?" Hua Rong was a little reluctant to let her go. looked at Zhang Yulong quietly, and said with a smile: "You couple have more to say, I have a lot of inconvenience here!" ”
Quiet was helped out of the courtyard by Qiu Yue. When I looked back, the lights were all off. Quiet and Autumn Moon smiled.
When the sun illuminates the embroidery building, the silence rises. "Oh no, maybe Xiangye has already gone to court!" She scrambled to her feet. Autumn Moon has been waiting for a long time.
"Don't worry, princess, Xiangye is waiting for you with tea in the front hall." Qiu Yue comforted her while helping her get dressed. After finishing the freshening, he quietly trotted to the front hall, and Qiu Yue hurriedly ran out.
"Grandpa, let's go! It's too late! She urged Zhang Yulong. Okay, the little princess doesn't have to be in a hurry, the sedan chair is ready! ”
Two by eight sedan chairs, surrounded by the guards, went out of the prime minister's mansion and went straight to the palace. Not long after, the sedan chair had arrived in front of the palace hall. Immediately there was a eunuch on duty to greet him. "The slave is waiting to greet the prime minister!"
The sedan chair stopped. Zhang Yulong walked out of the sedan chair with his head held high. "Please get the little princess off the sedan chair too!" There were eunuchs to support the quiet.
"Wow! It's so high, it's so big! Quiet's jaw dropped in astonishment. And I saw that the palace was built on a high platform. The cornices are arched, and the momentum is magnificent. Climbing up the stairs, he walked quietly and panting, "It's so annoying, why are you so high!" She muttered angrily.
"Grandpa, what are these people doing here?" She saw a large number of people on either side, standing with their faces facing outward.
Zhang Yulong pointed to the halberds in their hands: "They are the halberd keepers, who are responsible for guarding the palace." When he came to the gate of the palace, an attendant shouted: "The prime minister has arrived!" ”
Zhang Yulong asked the chamberlain to wait at the door with silence. He strode to the temple with his head held high.
Emperor Zhao Yuanxian yawned, he was too sleepy.
Because today is the Great Dynasty, otherwise he would not come.
He sang and danced every day, often all night long. It's not that he likes it, it's to hide people's eyes. He's training the dead to get rid of the troubles!
Zhang Yulong came to the ministers. He saw the middle-aged man with a high spirit.
"General Zhao Xu, is your King Rui okay?" He approached Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu looked at him with some disgust, "Very good!" If you don't sleep all night, don't eat or drink, you're a fool! ”
He feigned surprise, "How did this happen?" Zhao Xu tore his heart apart, "The prime minister's generosity, kill one and let one go." It's a girl who killed! He shuddered.
Zhang Kang brought the words, but no one believed them.
