Chapter 219: Righteous Daughter
That night, Yun Zhen did not come back, and asked someone to bring a message back, saying that it was in the camp of Xishan. However, Huang Lu went to the city and came back, and told Daiyu about the movements of the Nan'an County Palace, "The concubine went back from the palace today to the Qi State Mansion and recognized the Nanyu girl as a righteous daughter." ”
Daiyu almost thought she had misheard, and asked, "You mean the uncle of the Duke of Qi?"
Huang Lu said, "No, it turned out that today was my wife's 40th birthday, and Concubine Nan'an said halfway that she was going to celebrate her birthday, so she took the phoenix hairpin on her head as a birthday gift, and recognized the second girl in the house as a righteous daughter." ”
Daiyu didn't know what Concubine Rong thought, she didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, and the autumn colors of Pinghu Lake passed early the next morning, and the emperor went to Qingyan in Kyushu from here. Daiyu hugged her son for a while, and when she had breakfast, Daiyu said what Huang Lu said, "I was negligent yesterday, and I didn't expect it to be my aunt's birthday." ”
Concubine Rong waved her hand, "Zhen'er told me, he asked someone to send the birthday gift." You have just given birth, and your body has not fully recovered, and you have gone out of the garden for a long time, and you have not told you about it because you can stand the noise over there in the past. ”
After Concubine Rong finished speaking, she sighed, asked Yuzheng to give Daiyu Bucai, and said, "Your aunt didn't tell me about this, and I only found out about it." Last night, I also saw that the emperor was so worried that he couldn't sleep, so I said the method you said, and I also mentioned this matter to the emperor over there, and it is a good thing that the two compartments are all together. Like, your aunt thinks it's a great thing to marry her daughter off as a princess."
Daiyu didn't think so, she still remembered the two sisters in the Rongfei Palace, and later after she hired Yun Zhen, she heard that the eldest girl was hired to the Dingcheng Hou Mansion, which is the maiden family of the third princess, so she asked, "Although it is the princess, but the mountains and rivers are far away, today's peace talks, I don't know what will happen tomorrow, if it is good over there, what if it is not good, what if it is not good."
Concubine Rong shook her head, "Don't talk about this, the girl's life is not worth anything."
Daiyu was unwilling, "Concubine Nan'an is also capable, is there no girl in her family who is reluctant to give up her own girl, and prefers to work hard for her in other people's families." ”
Concubine Rong was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Daiyu seriously, "Don't worry, even if you give a marriage, you may not get Zhen'er." Even though she is my niece-in-law, I will never let her ruin my own son's reputation, silly boy, you think too much."
Daiyu was embarrassed, and buried her face in the table, "What does the concubine say, I don't think anything, I just can't get used to Concubine Nan'an's behavior." ”
Concubine Rong smiled, "What's the matter, you also reminded me, it's also a girl from my Chen family, if someone does it, wouldn't it be a matter of letting others underestimate me and Zhen'er." You help me think about it, what are the good princes and grandsons in this capital?"
Daiyu couldn't think of it, so she said, "If you talk about this, let's ask the thirteenth brother about them, I really don't know." ”
Concubine Rong asked someone to find Thirteen, Brother Eaves also followed, saluted, the two went to see Brother Shun, hugged and played for a while, Concubine Rong asked, Thirteen and Brother Eaves said a lot of names, nothing more than some children of the noble family, none of Concubine Rong can look at it, Daiyu couldn't help but say, "Is there a suitable one on the list this year?"
Thirteen's eyes lit up, and he leaned over, "Mother, there is someone who ensures that the mother is satisfied, this year's top 13, named Liu Jingting, is talented and young, only in his early twenties, and has a good personality, and the starling brother has also dealt with him, and said that he is a square gentleman, but it is not good."
Concubine Rong asked, "What's bad?"
Thirteen rubbed his hands and said, "It's a little poor, the people in the south, a widow at home, only three acres of thin fields, are perennial copying books with people to earn money and tie up, and now although they are in the middle, they are still poor." ”
Concubine Rong hesitated slightly, and after thinking about it, her son could look at it, so she said, "There is a saying that it is better to bully the white beard than to bully the poor young man, who is only in his early twenties and a protégé of the Son of Heaven. ”
Daiyu said, "I'll go back and tell the prince, how about rewarding him with a courtyard?"
Concubine Rong said with a smile, "Where is your turn to give up the money and give the marriage first, and see what the Qi State Mansion says before deciding." ”
Daiyu knew that Concubine Rong was reluctant to spend them, so she didn't insist. In the evening, Yun Zhen came back, covered in dust, after serving him to bathe, he opened his head again, and when it was time to eat, Yun Zhen wanted to pull her to drink again, Daiyu hurriedly stopped, "I have something to say to you." ”
Yun Zhen drank a cup by herself, looked at her meaningfully, and looked at her as if she was coated with rouge, and when she finished speaking, Yun Zhen smiled, "Mother Concubine is right, but it's a pity that women are not allowed to stay in the army, otherwise, I have to take you with me, so you don't have to worry about me." ”
He pulled Daiyu into his arms, sat on his lap, and whispered, "There is no etiquette between husband and wife, and you don't have to be polite in front of me." I just ask you, if you really don't worry about me, shouldn't you serve me well and feel comfortable?"
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor held a banquet in the Baohe Palace, and Yun Zhen and his wife naturally wanted to go. Because Concubine Hui didn't follow, it was Concubine Rong who sat beside the emperor, and after three rounds of drinking, Concubine An got up and replaced the wine with tea and said that she wanted to honor Concubine Rong, "I heard that there was a happy event in Niangniang's family, and my sister only found out today, but how did Niangniang's niece and nephew give it to a poor jinshi?"
Concubine Rong didn't take the cup, glanced at the emperor with a smile, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the second girl of the Duke of Qi is also a noble daughter of the Houmen, even if Your Majesty rewards the upstart, you shouldn't take the concubine's niece and nephew as a pawn, and make people laugh at the concubine."
Concubine An was stunned for a moment, and Daiyu said, "Erchen also heard that this uncle of the Duke of Qi is from a poor family, and there is only a widowed mother in the family, not only to support the widowed mother, but also to plan and study by himself, and it is not easy to study hard for more than ten years." I heard that if it weren't for the time when I entered the market, I didn't have the money to buy a bottle of good ink and a good pen, and I might be able to enter the top three. Such a person is really admirable, thinking about how many noble children in Beijing do not want to forge ahead, but look down on these scholars, it is also funny to look at it"
The emperor asked An Concubine, "I heard that you have a younger brother, who was born of a jade, how are you reading now?"
An Concubine gritted a mouthful of silver teeth, but she had to force herself to smile and come forward to answer, "Back to Your Majesty, I heard that I have started to make a fuss now, but I am not yet sophisticated, so I will not end up." ”
