Chapter 445: Preparing to cut off the beard
There was something that made Cheng Ziyu cry and laugh.
The fact that the He family came to visit the queen was like growing wings, and after a short while, it spread all over the Pan family. So, after He came out of the queen's place, he was "encountered" several times by the ladies who came to the banquet all the way.
There is no way, everyone doesn't know the queen's intentions, they only know that the Cheng family's daughter pheasant has become a phoenix, and she has become the county lord, the queen mother's favor, the queen is happy, and she is worth a lot of money but has not yet decided on a marriage.
For a while, there were many people who had ideas, either the royal family or the powerful, either hinting at relatives or planning to protect the media, and they came to He's to talk and hint one after another.
The He family is finally from a big family, and she can barely cope. The words are beautiful, both dissatisfied and no less. Neither agreed nor refused. In short, it is a large circle of Tai Chi, which is plausible and makes people think about it......
He didn't know about Cheng Ziyu and Li Chun, and then talked to his daughter, listing a circle of names: What is the second son of Nanping Hou, the grandson of the governor of Sui, the nephew of General Lian, and the eldest son of the Sun Governor...... Let her pay attention.
"Mother, how did you reply?"
"Don't worry, my mother knows that your marriage depends on the meaning of the top. To tell you the truth, I just went to talk to the queen, and the queen bluntly said that she liked you and wanted to welcome you as the prince's side concubine, and called the princess too. The crown princess is gentle and said that she will definitely take good care of you.
But while you told your mother that you would never marry the prince, and on the other hand, you asked your mother to come to the queen's side to show goodwill, and you also wanted to burn the fire vigorously, and the old man also promised the old man that he would continue to serve the Cheng family, and his mother knew that you must have sold medicine in the gourd.
Therefore, my mother deliberately grew more eyes just now, leaving a lot of hope for those ladies who intend to say goodbye. Those people are all ready to move at the moment, they are all royal relatives and important ministers, maybe they will go to the queen mother to talk about your affairs in a while. These things are left to the queen with a headache. ”
“……”
Cheng Ziyu knew for the first time that her mother also had so many thoughts. "Aren't you afraid that I'll be messed up with the mandarin duck score?"
"You're going to mess around?"
He squinted, stretched out his finger and poked Cheng Ziyu's forehead.
"If you even dare to let your mother let smoke from the queen, you must have a chance of winning. Don't think that my mother doesn't know, it must be the Queen Mother who has promised you something, right? You saved the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will definitely sell you personal favors when you bring it up. ”
Cheng Ziyu bit her lip when she heard this, this, there really isn't. The other party is the emperor!
"Mother heard yesterday that you were embarrassed by Miss Xiao San, the crown princess hated you but still smiled so gently, if you get married, you will not have to live a miserable life? Thousands of miles away, it is called every day, so what should you do? My mother can't do anything big, and she can only make it more difficult for the queen......"
"Hmm."
I almost forgot, although my mother is not good at socializing, but even if my father is useless for many years, the internal affairs of the Cheng family have been firmly grasped by my mother. Rao is so powerful as Fahrenheit, for so many years, except for being responsible for the Cheng family's entertainment, he has not obtained any substantial power in the back house.
Poof, yes, yes, Fahrenheit has been camping for many years, and I only got the opportunity to "show up"! Slap in the face! The more she mixes with the daughter of the Cheng family outside, the more embarrassing she is, right? It's a shame that Fahrenheit is so arrogant every time she goes out to a banquet in a flash of gold, and I don't know how many people laugh at her behind her back.
Only then did I find out that my mother was so damaged...... No, that's amazing.
In this life, my mother has been dragged down by her father, but it doesn't mean that she is useless.
Cheng Ziyu lowered her eyes, the water was muddy, it was good, it was not necessarily a bad thing for herself.
"Ziyu, your marriage...... Think wisely. Last night, the old man sat in the courtyard and drank alcohol. You get the idea, right? He sighed.
"Mother, find someone to watch him, don't let him drink more."
Cheng Ziyu begged the Queen Mother for a favor this morning, and asked Imperial Doctor Shen to give the old man a pulse, and the Queen Mother responded. I hope the old man's body is still fine......
Of course she does.
She knew that the old man was worried.
Her title of county lord is a good thing for the Cheng family. Fame and fortune are all there. The emperor still has a steady stream of orders, and the Cheng family is just around the corner.
But blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, she becomes the lord of the county, and her personal future is not under the control of the Cheng family. What about the Cheng family's family business? To whom will the craft be inherited?
Because of this, when Cheng Ziyu went back today, the old man didn't ask much, only asked if she would enter the palace. And she can only make a promise that she will continue to carry forward the Cheng family's craftsmanship.
And after the old man got that promise, he didn't say anything.
"Tell your grandfather that my marriage will be as he wishes." The old man likes Li Chun very much, carries her behind her back, and gives Li Chun a lot of things, the Cheng family is full of her eyeliner, and she knows all those things. The old man has already regarded Li Chun as a son-in-law.
"His mind?"
"He understands."
"He understands but I don't. The old man has been chosen? Who is it? He came up and pinched his daughter's arm. Every time it's like this, I don't tell my mother anything. Are you going to be angry? ”
"Mother, calm down, aren't you going to set fire everywhere?" Cheng Ziyu leaned his head on He's shoulder, soft. The faint sweet magnolia fragrance is the smell of the mother. Her mother, so good, should live a long life.
"How is he? Is it good for you? He stroked his daughter's face, "Marriage is a woman's second reincarnation, you have to see it." Your father, your second uncle, are not a good match. You are assertive, you did a very good job of Hongyu yesterday, but the authorities are confused, and your mother can't help, so you have to keep your eyes open. ”
"Well, he is very good, good to me, and good to the Cheng family. He should be visiting you soon. ”
"No shame!" He pushed his daughter's head away. "Let's go, my mother is leaving."
"Where?"
"Didn't you see the lady in front of me greeting me? Isn't it a duchess? ”
"Duchess of Lu Guo."
"Mother go say hello and help you mix up contacts. Even if it's not for that, it won't hurt you. ”
"Hmm."
Cheng Ziyu looked at it for a while, and felt that she had underestimated her mother before. The He family is a scholarly family, and the He family has a very good demeanor, and when interacting with those noble ladies, he does not show a small family spirit at all, neither humble nor arrogant, and has a very long face. Fahrenheit's contrived enthusiasm for dealing with people is far worse than hers......
Time flickered, and the luncheon was gone.
The main activity in the afternoon is to watch the play.
No way, the Queen Mother loves to watch dramas the most.
Therefore, to celebrate your birthday, it is naturally indispensable to accompany the Queen Mother to watch the play.
At least from the emperor to the imperial family.
In order to welcome the saint, the Pan family built a gorgeous theater building.
Although it is only two floors, it is better than the venue is large enough.
The doors on both sides of the main stage are movable, and after all are opened, they can accommodate nearly 1,000 people to watch the play. Seats are also placed on the periphery of the theater building, inside and outside the building, which is enough for all the guests to feast their eyes.
Today, if nothing else, Cheng Ziyu and others' big drama should be staged in the theater.
After the meal, the singing begins.
Four major teams, a variety of singing voices, all have.
For such a grand event, the guests are basically here.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor sat on the main seat.
The emperor's subordinates sat on a group of princes, and the queen mother was the queen's concubines.
Cheng Ziyu sat behind the queen mother, the position designated by the emperor.
Li Chun sat behind the emperor, and there were only two cases full of tea fruits between him and Cheng Ziyu. He resisted the urge to look at her several times, but he held the teacup and quietly glanced at her a few times against the cover.
It's really ...... It's beautiful..
The song "Magu Birthday Greeting" took the lead and sang happily.
The emperor personally handed the excerpt to the queen mother.
The Queen Mother flipped through it and ordered a few lively songs: "The Heroes' Meeting", "The Drunken Concubine" and "Mulan".
The Queen Mother gently drifted her eyes to Cheng Ziyu, she did her best, she signaled to the emperor again this morning, hoping that he would retract his thoughts, but the emperor didn't have that plan, and said that it didn't matter if the Queen Mother didn't want to help, he would pick it out himself today.
The Queen Mother knew that this time was coming. Even so, she tried to avoid the theme of love when ordering the scene.
The stage sang lively, and the excerpts of the drama had reached the emperor's hands.
The play ordered by the Queen Mother was sung to the end, and the emperor slowly ordered "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang". And the queen ordered "Tianxian Pei".
Cheng Ziyu chuckled, it was really interesting. In these two scenes, one is to marry and the other is to marry. But it's the same.
"Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang" sings the story of Liu Bei crossing the river to marry Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang. The emperor likes martial arts when he watches dramas, and likes to point to the Three Kingdoms, but when will it be okay?
The Queen Mother sighed lightly, the emperor has made up her mind, and she will make up for Cheng Ziyu from elsewhere in the future.
Soon, the excerpt of the drama really arrived in Cheng Ziyu's hands.
The emperor said that she was the new lord of the county, and she should be given a grace to let her play and openly promote her.
Cheng Ziyu smiled and said that she didn't understand the drama and asked the Queen Mother to help.
happened to be the end of the play, and the preparation time was naturally used for gossip. For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted.
"Oh? Jinxi, you don't know drama? ”
"Yes, Jinxi was born in the people, lonely and unheard, and many dramas are unheard of, so I really don't know where to start."
"Do you understand the play you just played?"
"I can understand it. Lively and joyful, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are very good! The emperor asked about the play he ordered, and Cheng Ziyu deliberately pretended not to hear it, but he was already secretly scolding in his heart.
It's amazing, this is to follow the example of the Sun family, for the sake of the family marriage, obediently enter his harem? Although his identity is not as good as Sun's, his interests behind him are not bad.
"Then what do you think, how is this scene of my point?" The Emperor's eyes shrunk, waiting for her reply.
"They are all the top teams in Jiangnan, so they are naturally first-class."
Cheng Ziyu looked at him again, and the emperor laughed dryly. Don't answer? And how?
"Queen Mother, I feel that Jinxi has a little bit of Sun Shangxiang's shadow on her. They are all capable and straightforward, capable and outstanding, and they are the elite and talents among women. ”
No need for the queen mother, as soon as the emperor spoke, a large number of people followed and nodded and flattered, praising Cheng Ziyu's goodness.
"By the way, how old is Jinxi? It's time to get married, right? ”
The emperor glanced at the crowd, "I heard that Mrs. Cheng is also here, I haven't seen it yet, why don't you come up and talk?" ”
The He family had already been arranged not far away by the emperor's people, and at this time, he was sincerely afraid to come up and kowtow.
"I don't know if Jinxi has a promise?"
Ho said no.
King Xiaoyao smiled and suggested on the side: Why don't you reward the emperor with a favor and point out a marriage to the lord of Jinxi?
The emperor asked Ho what he wanted.
How could He Shi say no, naturally he couldn't ask for it.
The emperor and the king of Xiaoyao were obviously prepared, you said a word to me, and then Yu's father-in-law played a side drum, and they all showed an intention in front of everyone:
The emperor is going to give Jinxi a marriage!
As a result, many people can no longer sit still.
Cheng Ziyu's gaze swept out, the queen was smiling and waiting for the opportunity, Concubine Zhao was twisting the handkerchief, Zhu Changan was gritting her teeth and clenching her fists, the fifth prince was frowning, He was smiling awkwardly, and the queen mother was only sipping tea......
I can't see it behind me, but I can also hear envy and discussion, lip smacking and gossip......
Li Chun got up.
"The minister wants to play, please!" He got up and went to the Emperor.
The emperor smiled meaningfully. Ha, everything has already been arranged, and if the Queen Mother doesn't help, he can do it! Although it is not as simple as singing and harmonizing with the Queen Mother, the effect can be achieved.
In addition to his own wishes, He, as Cheng Ziyu's mother, has already nodded.
On behalf of the royal family, King Xiaoyao has Li Chun, a courtier, to ask for it, and after a while, he will arrange for Qin Tianjian to say a few words, everything will naturally go smoothly, and no one has a position or reason to say the word "no......
Li Chun walked past Zhu Changan, his face was disdainful, full of "Fight with me?" I am not qualified in this life". Zhu Changan saw that he got what he wanted, and he was so angry that he almost trembled.
"The emperor, the lord of Jinxi County is sensitive, soft, and ......"
"Your Majesty, the concubines also want to say a few words." As soon as Li Chungang opened his mouth, he saw that Concubine Zhao was already kneeling beside him.
Tsk, that's fast!
As everyone knows, Li Chun has already laughed in his heart.
I really didn't expect Zhu Changan to be so impatient! You must know that in order to fish, he has prepared a lot of rhetoric, but it didn't even come in handy! Zhu Si, Zhu Si, I can't hold my breath......
Concubine Zhao naturally signaled to Zhu Chang'an, and she was in a hurry to obey the power, and she couldn't care about her reckless behavior.
In the early morning, Li Chun was extremely arrogant and frankly said that he would propose marriage, and Zhu Changan panicked at that time.
I didn't expect it to be true, it's really so fast!
Even the fools present could see that the emperor was going to marry Cheng Ziyu, and no one could not see that the emperor, King Xiaoyao, Li Chun and Father-in-law Yu were most likely colluding to make a good statement.
If Li Chun asked for marriage, the emperor would never refuse. Looking at the emperor's smiling face like his father, he knows that no, his father can't smile like that, it should be as happy as he wants to take a concubine......
Zhu Chang said no again and again.
If these two enemies of his came together, his fate would be miserable, right? The beating he received before dawn this morning is proof of that.
It's a pity that he has too little time, and he doesn't even have time to try to destroy the relationship between the two. At this moment, he is shouting from top to bottom how good Cheng Ziyu is, he can't jump out and accuse her, right? He had no proof.
So the only thing he could do was to try to cut off his beard.
