Chapter 216: Giving Away
The Spring War is about to kick off in full swing, and students from all over the country who are rushing to take the exam have poured into Jinjing City, which is just right in spring, which is chaotic but orderly.
In the Qinzheng Palace, Zhou Minrui waved his hand to let the servants withdraw from the hall, and looked at Zhou Minchang with an angry face and persuaded:
"Brother Prince, according to the previous rules, the chief examiner of the Spring Festival this time should have been Lord Cao's turn...... But here's where you ...... I suddenly ordered Prime Minister Liu Cheng today, this is not ......"
Zhou Minchang threw the pen in his hand "snapped", leaned lazily on the back of the chair, looked at Zhou Minrui, and said disdainfully: "Why are you afraid of that old ghost?" Look at your appearance! ”
Zhou Minrui looked helpless, "My eldest brother, eldest brother of the prince, this is not something to be afraid of, this is a rule, you have no warning?" This spring is a big event, it is a big event of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, alas...... Although they should all be loyal to the king, in the end, we also have to take care of their feelings and emotions, otherwise, in the future, what can they do, and what should they do? ”
"Huh." The crown prince Zhou Minchang snorted lightly in extreme depression, his eyes narrowed, he looked at Zhou Minrui, and said with a thick anger: "Don't tell me you don't know the case of the Criminal Department, don't tell me, you don't have any ideas, I read that he has taught me for many years, and I respect him Cao Taibao, but what about him?" What did you do? Collusion! What else would he do besides collusion? ”
Zhou Minrui didn't expect Zhou Minchang to say this so directly, subconsciously turned around and looked at the closed door of the hall, turned around, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, his eldest brother, in addition to not learning and not knowing, he didn't like to take responsibility, he had a small belly, and he held some grudges, in fact, it was really good for his brother, he looked up at him and said with concern: "Big brother, have you been tired lately?" ”
"I'm not tired, it's okay, I'm just, I'm so disgusted with them, I'm so disgusted that I just look at their faces, I feel like I'm going to vomit." Zhou Minchang wrinkled his brows in disgust, they don't need to say it, everyone knows who it is.
Zhou Minrui didn't want to mention the matter of Chunfu anymore, he quickly changed the topic and asked with a smile: "Big brother, how are the preparations for the wedding?" I heard that the Lu family is almost going to pour out of the house to prepare a dowry for the three ladies of the Lu family? ”
Zhou Minchang hooked his mouth, obviously this topic was a topic that made him relax temporarily and could make him happy, and nodded, "Well, the Lu family...... Hehe, I let people pass the word twice, they should treat the three ladies lightly? That's my crown princess, even if I'm not the crown prince, I'm also your eldest brother, the eldest prince, should they be treated lightly? The one in the Lu family," Zhou Minchang raised his eyebrows, "It's just a person who doesn't do anything, is timid, and is easy to be taken advantage of, and if he has a little status, he can make him scared to death, how can such a person dare to treat my concubine lightly?" ”
didn't embarrass Zhou Minrui, Zhou Minchang said it himself, "This time, the Cao family lost the position of a crown princess and let the eldest lady of the Cao family be a side concubine, originally I also felt sorry for the loss, and I wanted to make up for one or two, but now, I ...... Hum! Think beautifully! ”
Because of the resolute attitude of the crown prince Zhou Minchang, the chief examiner of the spring festival temporarily changed the car to Prime Minister Liu Cheng, Prime Minister Liu Cheng was worried for a day, in the end he still found Emperor Zhou Sheng, and presented his thoughts, Emperor Zhou Sheng did not comment on his report, but did not put forward any opinions, Prime Minister Liu Cheng has been with Emperor Zhou Sheng for nearly 30 years, and naturally knows his monarch clearly, so that little worry will be dispersed.
Cao Taibao was depressed, but he was helpless, the prince's toughness this time made him understand him better, and he found General Wu to say, General Wu Da was also a little incomprehensible to his grandson, the original obedient Zhou Minchang seemed to have grown up overnight, his wings were stiff, and he didn't listen to the words of adults.
"This time, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made up his mind, you have an opinion, and there is no way to do it, take out some energy, or teach Xian Xian and Xian Rou well, after all, they are going to accompany the prince, although the crown princess is missing, but the Lu family ...... Don't be afraid, as long as you let Xian Xian and Xian Rou be favored, when you have a son, it will not be difficult in the future. "General Wu's recent energy has been on investigating General Zhenguo, so in his eyes, the matter of the main examination of Chunyu is not a big deal.
Cao Taibao was choked, unconvinced, but he didn't dare to say anything in the end, General Wuda's ruthlessness, in his eyes, has risen to the position of Cao Kan's life, the matter of Jian'an Houfu, although he did not come forward, but he also got his acquiescence, Cao Taibao withstood the pressure and helped him maneuver twice, but in his heart, he was afraid, that sense of fear, unprecedented.
As for the man......
Cao Taibao raised his eyelids and quietly looked at the calm General Wu, who crawled over from the pit of the dead, this heart is ruthless.
"You have a idea, put two people, the child in the belly of Concubine Xi......" General Wu looked at Cao Taibao and ordered.
Cao Taibao blinked, desperately suppressing the fear in his heart, "I...... The lower officials did their best. ”
General Wu gave him a blank look and didn't say anything more.
It's finally time for the wedding of the crown prince Zhou Minchang and Lu Fangfei.
In Lu Fangfei's wedding team, she invited He Yuan, Chang Qingfan and Liu Yunyun, this is the first time she has faced her father and mother and made her own request.
Mrs. Lu was happy after receiving the holy decree and knowing that her daughter was bright, as if she was happy, she naturally would not refute Lu Fangfei's request, you know, the holy decree was issued, and then it was changed, it was almost a thing that had never happened before, which shows how much the emperor loves His Royal Highness the Prince. His daughter married His Royal Highness the most favored prince, how could she have a bad life in the future?
Liu Yunyun was called up by Xiao Duoer at the right time on this day, hurriedly washed up, put on the eggplant red formal spring shirt given to her by Minhao last week, combed the girl's flowing cloud bun, got into the carriage, and rushed to Lu Mansion.
Rushed to the second gate, Rui'er was already waiting at the second gate, greeted Liu Yunyun and got out of the carriage, and said with a smile: "Second Miss An, the county lord of the He family and Miss Chang have just arrived and have already entered Fangfei Courtyard." ”
Liu Yunyun took Rui'er's hand, felt a little guilty in her heart, and asked in a low voice, "Are you doing well?"
"The slave is fine, the third miss of the Lu family is very good to the slave and the maid, and the second miss can rest assured." Rui'er smiled and pulled the hem of Liu Yunyun's clothes, signaling her to rest assured.
Fangfei Courtyard was already brightly lit, He Yuan and Chang Qingfan were already sitting in the east chamber for entertaining guests, slowly eating red dates and lotus seed tea, seeing Liu Yunyun coming, they hurriedly put down the tea bowl and beckoned Liu Yunyun to sit on the couch.
"Didn't expect me to wake up earlier than you? Didn't you say you were the best at waking up early? He Yuan smiled and teased Liu Yunyun.
"The county lord just knows how to laugh, Yunyun, do you want to drink lotus seed tea or red date soup?" Chang Qingfan smiled and glanced at He Yuan, who was not serious, turned his head to look at Liu Yunyun and asked.
"I'm going to drink you like this." Liu Yunyun smiled and instructed Rui'er, who was waiting, and pointed to the tea ceremony in He Yuan and Chang Qingfan's bowls.
Rui'er smiled and bent her knees in response, and went out to make tea.
"I get up early because I don't sleep, I didn't want to sleep yesterday, and then, uh, I accidentally fell asleep." Liu Yunyun pulled Chang Qingfan to sit beside her, and smiled at He Yuandao, who was also sitting on the couch and was about to sit at the top.
"By the way, what about the Fang family's cousin?" Liu Yunyun looked around, He Yuan's position as the county lord naturally sat in the inner room, and the outside were all the little ladies of various families, who also came to give marriage, and there were many little ladies in the marriage, which proved that there were people in the bride's family, and the groom and officials were not allowed to bully the bride at will.
"Fang Renshan has already come, and she is bathing with Lu Fangfei inside." He Yuan said happily.
Chang Qingfan was stunned, "The bride bathes, doesn't she all use the fragrant soup woman who waits for the marriage?" When will Miss Fang come up with this trick? ”
Liu Yunyun didn't know anything about the wedding ceremony here, and she hadn't participated in it, and this was the first time she had participated in this ancient wedding, so she also stared at He Yuan curiously, waiting for her to answer.
He Yuan's vanity has been well satisfied, look, I am the eldest sister.
"The wedding of the prospective crown princess, of course, is also to invite an experienced fragrant soup woman to serve, but the relationship between Lu Fangfei and Fang Renshan has been good since childhood, and the bath on the wedding day is to be washed for more than an hour, Fang Renshan is afraid that Lu Fangfei is going to get married and is nervous, no, she rushed in and went in and talked with her."
Liu Yunyun also learned from He Yuan to take off her shoes, Rui'er personally brewed lotus seed and red date tea, brought it in and gave it to Liu Yunyun, Chang Qingfan had already taken off her shoes, and the three of them sat on the couch, chatting and laughing about some children's gossip.
As soon as Mao Zheng passed, an aunt helped Mrs. Lu into the main compartment of Fangfei Courtyard, and the little ladies stood up and saluted her, Chang Qingfan and Liu Yunyun also put on their shoes and jumped down to greet her.
After a few people saw the salute, Mrs. Lu smiled and let He Yuan sit at the top, and she sat at the bottom, Liu Yunyun and Chang Qingfan naturally didn't sit on the couch anymore, so they found a chair and sat next to He Yuan.
The little girl served tea to Mrs. Lu, and the aunt who was holding her had been standing behind her, with a decent smile, hanging her head and waiting, Liu Yunyun knew early in the morning that except for Mrs. Lu, the aunts in the Lu Mansion had nothing to do, Lord Lu liked beauty, and there were many aunts in the Lu Mansion, so it can be seen that although Mrs. Lu's brain is not very bright, there are still some tricks and means to deal with women, otherwise, it will not make all the aunts unable to give birth to eggs.
"Let's take a look, is the third lady bathing?" Mrs. Lu turned her head and said with a smile to her aunt who was standing behind her.
The aunt didn't see her son and couldn't hang up, respectfully bent her knees and agreed, and went to the clean room behind with a smile, and after a while, the aunt turned back and said to Mrs. Lu with a smile: "The third lady has already bathed, and she is getting dressed at this time." ”
