Chapter 6: Marriage
"It's really jealous!" This is the first thing I say when I wake up in the morning.
Yuan Sisi got up early today, it was the day to go to the academy, she began to be reluctant from the bed, last night the master pulled her to practice the light skills for half a night, and now she only felt top-heavy, as if she was going to ascend to heaven.
Xihe began to close the door yesterday, and Liu's mother sent someone to spread the word that she was occasionally feeling cold, so she asked Sisi not to go to her courtyard to eat these days, so today's breakfast was brought back by Ju Brew to Xihe's courtyard.
Winter is the most difficult for Sisi, but she has never had any illness, and Sisi didn't dare to let Xihe know about learning light skills, except because Mr. Xuanyuan was not allowed to make a noise, mainly because he was afraid that Xihe would stop him. Either Xi He would have come to him to cry and wipe his tears now.
Ju Brew brought breakfast and brought news. This chrysanthemum has been with Sisi for a few years, and it is quite safe, Mei Lan Zhuju is fifteen years old, and it is said that the children of the poor are in charge early, and this ancient child is more mature and stable than modern children.
"County master, the slave maid went to the princess's courtyard just now, do you want to listen to something you hear?"
At this time, Sisi was closing his eyes and letting Zhu Qing put clothes on his body, letting him reach out and stretch out his hand, and let him bow his head.
"What can happen in Wanwan's courtyard?"
"The slave maid heard that it seems that His Majesty wants to marry the princess to the third son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials."
"What? Just Lin Ziqing and his third brother? ”
"Exactly, the county lord is in the same academy with the youngest son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials, I'm afraid he also knows about this, the county lord will go to the academy today, but don't do it as usual, if you don't get it in the future, you will be a family, and it's not good to always save people's face."
"Forget it, if Wanwan really marries the third son, I will call Uncle Lin Ziqing, you might as well kill me. No, no, absolutely not, I resolutely can't let Wanwan marry Lin Sangongzi! ”
The priority now is to prevent Xihe from marrying into Shangshufu!

The carriage to the academy was driven by Wudou as usual.
There are only three academies in the entire Kyoto row, one is at the foot of the imperial city, called Chengde Academy, which is the place where the princes and princesses in the palace study.
The gentleman of the academy is a pilgrimage teacher, who is over 70 years old, and Chengde Academy learns martial arts every morning and literature in the afternoon, in order to take care of this old gentleman. This second academy is in Shifang Street, Shifang Street is a women's street, there are rouge gouache silk and silk shops on the street, it has always been the heart of the rich lady in Kyoto City, the innermost part of the street, opened a private school, Mr. is a woman in her thirties, this woman is very mysterious, I don't know when I came to Kyoto, I don't know when I opened the academy, I only know that the first Shifang Street is not Shifang Street, it is because the most prestigious women's academy in Kyoto City has driven a whole street, perhaps, this is a very successful marketing in ancient times, When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.
Yuan Sisi does not study in these two academies, she studies in Qingteng Academy, which is two streets away from her home, Qingteng Academy is the cradle of gentlemen, and Yuan Sisi likes this very much.
The carriage was not running fast on the street, Sisi was drowsy in the car, and the girl who accompanied her to the academy every day was also on duty, and today it was the turn of the maid Lanxiang.
Lan Xiang is quite literati, giving people a special Tibetan feeling, she is relatively thin, and her body is not very good, although she is a girl, she has a bit of Lin Daiyu's taste.
Accompanying Sisi to the academy is her favorite thing to do, and as long as she accompanies Sisi to the academy in the past three years, she always has to dress up delicately.
Sisi took into account that she was a young girl, so she let her go by herself, Sisi always thought that Lan Xiang was a smart person, and she was afraid that she would not be able to find her in-law's house by herself.
"County Lord, it's here!" Outside, the voice of Wudou sounded.
Sisi looked at the five buckets and a table of talents, tall and tall, and her voice was magnetic, I really don't know which girl will be cheaper in the future.
"Wudou, you send me to the academy every day, have you ever taken a fancy to a young lady?" Sisi said to Wudou with a smile as he got out of the car.
Who doesn't love handsome guys? Looking at Wudou's face, Sisi always thought that instead of cheapening others, it would be better to cheapen the four flowers in his own yard, digest it internally, and the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders.
"County Lord, don't make fun of me all day long, if you say it again, I won't come tomorrow, I'll let Wang Er come to see you off, I see that Wang Er has some fancy intestines, and it must smell like you!" Wudou rolled his eyes, not reassuring Sisi's words at all.
Sisi was six years old when Wudou followed her, these years have passed, the two of them sneaked out of the house together, arrested together, Wudou for Sisi was beaten countless times, Sisi unilaterally felt that Wudou and her were revolutionary friendship, but Wudou didn't think so, he just felt that Sisi was cumbersome, cumbersome.
Just as he was about to reply, Lan Xiang suddenly squeezed from behind to the front, and shouted crisply: "Lin Gongzi is well!" ”
I don't know when the carriage of the Lin Mansion also came, Lin Ziqing got off the carriage with a refreshing face, Sisi saw that his face was very itchy, and the roots of his teeth were itchy.
"Yo, isn't this the county lord of Chang'an, I haven't seen you for a day, I miss it very much, come and let my uncle see, have you lost weight?" Lin Ziqing made a preemptive move, Sisi didn't expect him to be able to say this in such a public, and he was a little speechless for a while.
"Lin Ziqing, I think you are really underbeaten, it's really itchy not to beat you for three days!" Sisi was going to step forward and kick him.
Lin Ziqing has suffered enough poisons over the years, and when he saw Sisi coming, he subconsciously seemed to be hiding behind the little guy.
"Okay, county lord, it's going to be too late in a while" Lan Xiang stretched out her hand to stop Sisi and stepped forward to bless Lin Ziqing, "It's better to go first."
Lin Ziqing looked at Lan Xiang's eyes full of autumn waves, and couldn't help but straighten his chest: "Hey, it is said that the princess's house is strictly educated, and this maid is more sensible than the master." ”
"You! Lin Ziqing, don't go, you fight with me!!! Sisi was furious at Lin Ziqing's back incompetently.
Wudou suddenly burst out laughing.
Sisi turned around and opened his eyes angrily, "You are still laughing, are you laughing at Miss Ben?" ”
"No, no, no, how dare I laugh at you, I just think, this seems to be the first time that Lin Ziqing has the upper hand, the county lord, you have beaten him for so many years, forget it now."
"Alas, the main thing is that I don't know what Your Majesty means, if I really want to give marriage, I'm afraid that my future life will be difficult, and then Lin Ziqing will have to ride on my neck to make a fortune, if Miss Ben is confident today, she will definitely beat him all over the ground to find teeth!"
Sisi led Lanxiang into the academy, Wudou went to find a place to park the carriage, as soon as he entered the courtyard, there was a lotus pond, the lotus flowers had already withered clean, and the water surface was frozen and snowed in winter, which made people want to do some trick skating.
"Lan Xiang, you won't like Lin Ziqing" As he walked, Sisi suddenly asked out loud.
"If you say the county lord, don't make fun of the slave" Lan Xiang lowered her head, and two blush flew up her cheeks.
Seeing Lan Xiang twisting like this, she already understood Lan Xiang's intentions, and sighed in her heart, sure enough, the last thing that the children lack is this warbler Yanyan.
The gentleman of the academy is an old pedant, and he always has to shake his head and chant a few words of sour poetry on weekdays, Sisi also knows how to please, Tang and Song poems have never been recorded in this world, so if Mr. is really annoyed by Sisi, Sisi will carry him a few sentences of bright moonlight in front of the bed, Mr. is content, two or three lines of poetry will be studied for a few days, and then he will turn a blind eye to Sisi's stubbornness. Although Sisi always works with him, but Mr. is angry and angry, and the punishment is punished, and he has to be cheeky to ask for Sisi's poems when he is angry, and Sisi can memorize so many poems, and he will soon be 'Jiang Lang's end'.
The academy is a riding and archery course in the afternoon, and the young lady of the dignitary family leaves the academy long before lunch, but Sisi always tries her best to stay, she wants to learn riding and archery, and she learns brightly.
But every time I was caught by Mr., I was talking about what women should learn some female embroidery, riding and shooting is not a woman's righteous path, nagging, annoying Sisi's ears were calloused, and Sisi didn't bother to touch his brows.
After school today, Sisi did not take the opportunity to stay as usual, but walked out after school, and saw Lan Xiang looking at Lin Ziqing's back with a shy face.
Sisi looked back, this Lin Ziqing pulled out a big bow from under the table, he was already thinner, dragging a big bow was very funny, Sisi looked at Lan Xiang again, I really don't know why this girl is so aesthetically disabled.
"I'm back to my soul!"
Sisi's cold voice startled Lan Xiang, and she reluctantly turned around and walked out of the academy with Sisi.
At this time, Xi He, who was sick in the princess's mansion, was also suffering from a headache at this time.
"Princess, according to you, why did it suddenly rumor in the palace that she was going to give marriage, I heard that it was Your Majesty who was personally begged by the pure concubine." Liu's mother poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Xihe, who was leaning on the bed.
"It stands to reason that Concubine Chun should not agree to me befriending the Six Ministries, Yuan Lang has been dead for twelve years, my princess's mansion has never belonged to any gang or faction, after the death of the queen, her maiden family has declined, although the prince has a foundation, but he is helpless, it is a matter of time before he gives way. Now the three princes of the pure concubine and the six princes of Concubine Xiao have the most sacred heart, Concubine Xiao is deeply favored by His Majesty, the six princes are young but intelligent, and His Majesty is healthy. He supported a puppet prince, let the prince, the third prince, and the sixth prince fight each other, and His Majesty watched from the wall, I don't know what his intentions were. Xi He took a shallow sip of tea and said lightly: "The younger brother of Concubine Chun has now taken over the position of Yuanlang's general, and his future is limitless, if Lord Shangshu is a guest of the third prince, it makes sense." I still have a tiger talisman here, Your Majesty has not taken it back, if the three princes want the tiger talisman in my hand, then the marriage is just a means. ”
"I didn't expect Concubine Chun to have such thoughts, but how could Your Majesty let her handle it."
"You said that you are on the point, although there are rumors about this matter, but this holy decree has not been issued after all, and wait, it may not be what happened."
The past country is a big country, and now His Majesty governs the country with a bias towards convincing people with virtue, with very little taxes, a full treasury, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
But Your Majesty is old after all, and the undercurrents of various forces in Kyoto are surging, as if there is a huge net above Kyoto City, and the most important thing in the palace is people with ghosts, even if they are pillow people, they can't guarantee that they will harm themselves one day. The emperor is a high-risk profession, but in ancient times, the absolute right still made so many people rush to it, the princes fought to be the prince, the prince looked forward to the early death of the saint every day, even ordinary officials were afraid that they were on the wrong side, and every time the emperor was replaced, the situation in the court and China would be reshuffled, in order to ensure the glory and wealth of their families, they chose to take risks.
This Lin Shangshu is one, if he wins the bet, he will continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, and if he loses the bet, he will lose the whole game.
Feudal society is not good at this, although one person has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, but one person also makes a mistake, and the whole family sits together, and the relationship within the nine clans must be intertwined and affect the whole body.
