It's summer.

In the morning, the servants of the Tong Mansion were removed from the labor, and the owners of the houses did not get up at this time because it was the day of the court to rest and because they had a banquet in the Gao Mansion last night. Everything in the house was silent, and the sound of heaven was soft.

Zheng Qiao lived with his grandparents in Tong's mansion temporarily. After opening her eyes and listening to the sound of birds chirping outside the house, Zheng Qiao also felt comfortable in her heart, and only put on a thin coat and came out of the house.

The flowers and plants in the garden are even more green because of last night's dew, and the morning dew is especially crystal clear under the early morning sun. Zheng Qiao looked up at the sky, the sky was blue and the clouds were white, very beautiful.

Zheng Qiao was happy in her heart, so she motioned to Xuanhong, a nearby maid, to take water from the house.

Xuanhong saw that Zheng Qiao was so cautious when she took the morning dew, so she smiled and said, "Little lady, don't you want to bring this morning dew water into the prince's mansion?" ”

Zheng Qiao didn't look back, and said while taking the morning dew: "The water is also the mother of tea." If you can make tea with this morning dew, it can make the tea soup sweet and soft, and the lips and teeth will remain fragrant. ”

Xuanhong said with a smile: "Little lady, you have a good heart, and no one can match you when you enter the Prince's Mansion." ”

Zheng Qiao straightened his waist, handed Jianzhu to Xuanhong, and said with a light smile: "Anyone who can enter the prince's mansion is the daughter of the family of the world, which one has not been trained since childhood, knows piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a female red skillful worker?" ”

While speaking, he suddenly saw a white cat resting on the marble not far away, Zheng Qiao was happy in his heart, so he slowed down and moved gently to the marble.

The cat was lazy and napping in the warm sun, but before Zheng Qiao could get closer, he suddenly ran to the courtyard. Zheng Qiao followed, and this way entered the north courtyard of Tongfu.

This north courtyard is the main residence of Tong Mansion, and the young secretary Tong Wenzheng and his wife Li and the two concubines live here.

Because everyone had not yet gotten up, there was silence in the courtyard, Zheng Qiao was frightened and slowed down.

After the cat settled, Zheng Qiao tiptoed over, hugged the cat, and stroked its hair, lest the cat make a noise and disturb everyone.

The cat was also obedient, but was touched by Zheng Qiao but did not say a word, Zheng Qiao was happy, and was about to hug the cat and leave, when he vaguely heard Tong Wenzheng and his wife talking in the room.

I only heard Tong Wenzheng say: "Last night's Shouzhi (Gao Yongzi) was also like Mrs. Gao's words, I am afraid that Zuo Zhaoyi will retaliate..."

When Zheng Qiao heard the words and Zhaoyi, her heart tightened, so she stopped and leaned sideways under the window to listen.

Mrs. Tong's voice of Li's family came into Zheng Qiao's ears: "That day, my sister entered the palace to visit Yao'er, and she also took the opportunity to probe the tone of your concubine's wife, hoping that she could keep the Gao Mansion safe." ”

Tong Wenzheng didn't answer, and after a few snaps of his fingers, it was Li's voice again: "It's also strange to say, this majesty sits on the world, what kind of woman can't get it, but he just wants this woman who is re-Jiao..."

Tong Wenzheng shouted lightly: "Don't talk about Your Majesty's affairs, remember the truth of your own mouth... If it weren't for Shu'er (Tong's maiden name) begging for me, why would I need to wade into this troubled water. ”

Li said: "How can it be muddy water? If a disaster happens to Shu'er's husband's family, how can it not affect our family? One glory is glorious, and one humiliation is humiliated, how can the lord not know the reason here! ”

Before hearing Tong Wenzheng's answer, Zheng Qiao heard the sound of footsteps in the distance. Zheng Qiao was busy hiding on the side of the wall, and saw a male servant enter the courtyard.

The manservant walked to the door of the main room and said softly: "The lord and the mother, just now Huang Menlang came to the house to spread the word, and the queen issued a decree to order Zheng Qiao's little lady to enter the palace at the beginning of the noon to meet the queen. ”

When Tong Wenzheng and his wife should get down, it didn't take long for a few maids from the family to come in, serving the two to wash and change clothes, and they didn't need to talk about it in detail.

After everyone received the news, they came to the main hall of the north courtyard one after another.

Zheng Yi and Tong Wenzheng sat together, while the rest of the people knelt on both sides.

Zheng Yi looked at the Yao family and asked, "Do you have all the things you need for buckwheat?" ”

When the Yao family heard the lord's inquiry, he hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "Father, the concubine needed by Buckwheat has been prepared early, and she has come to her aunt's house to have all the daily needs, and she has never touched the things she carries at home. ”

Zheng Yi nodded and said, "This queen Yi's decree is so urgent, fortunately, she prepared the things she needed early, and she didn't panic." ”

Tong Wenzheng looked suspicious and said: "Seven days later, the prince opened the palace, how could this queen announce that Buckwheat entered the palace today?" ”

Zheng Yi was also stunned when he heard this, and before he could speak, he heard Zheng Yi say: "The queen is the prince's mother-in-law, this prince opened the mansion to marry the left and right children, and the queen may want to train them." ”

Mrs. Tong Li said: "What Xi Ang (Zheng Yizi) said is reasonable, the prince is the prince of the country, and the left and right sons are the ones who open the house, and in the future, they will give birth to the eldest son for the prince, and the queen's move is also reasonable." ”

Everyone knows that in addition to the prince's wife, if the eldest son is born for the prince, he will need the son and the noble mother to die in the future. After Mrs. Tong's wife Li finished speaking, everyone at the banquet fell silent and stopped talking.

Yao's eyes were shining, but because the lord's mother was in front of him and temporarily lived in Tong's mansion, he didn't dare to cry.

Mrs. Zheng's Li also had a sad face at this time, sighed, and said sadly: "Buddha and Bodhisattva bless, don't let Buckwheat give birth to the eldest son for the prince." ”

Zheng Yi's face was displeased, and he said, "A woman's opinion! If Buckwheat is fortunate enough to give birth to the eldest son for the crown prince, it will be the future monarch of the Great Wei Dynasty. ”

Seeing this scene, Tong Wenzheng hurriedly comforted Li and said: "Sister, don't worry too much, although the ancestral system is difficult to violate, there is a chance to turn around." ”

When Li heard this, he hurriedly said, "What is the opportunity to turn around?" ”

Tong Wenzheng said: "If Buckwheat can be promoted to the crown princess in the future, then the worries will be solved." ”

Zheng Yi said: "Although my uncle's words are reasonable, but Your Majesty's holy will is unpredictable, how do you know that you will choose the daughter of the family to be the wife of the prince." ”

Tong Wenzheng said: "Now that Your Majesty is carrying out the Han Revolution, this prince's wife will choose one of our families." Among these school-age women, only the granddaughter of Taishi and the daughter of Hongnong Huayin Yang Bo can be compared with Buckwheat..."

Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, Tong Wenzheng continued: "Buck'er enters the palace first, if you please the prince, and then Yao'er speaks well in front of Your Majesty, this matter will have a good chance." ”

Mrs. Tong shook her head and said, "Lord, the concubine has heard that this left son of the Lu County Liu family is also a clever person, and her aunt is Mrs. Yuan in the palace, how can it be so easy to be the crown princess?" ”

Zheng Yi frowned slightly, and said: "Although the Liu clan of Lujun is a prominent family, now there is no one to take on the important position in the court. ”

When everyone heard this, they also felt reasonable, so they nodded in agreement.

Before Zheng Yi could speak again, Zheng Qiao had already walked outside the door of the main hall.

After entering the house to salute everyone, Zheng Qiao said: "Although the people's homes are poor and unbearable, they can enjoy the joy of family. Although my Zheng family is not extremely wealthy, it is also a family of high-ranking mansions, and now Ah Weng and his father are preparing to send Buckwheat to the Prince's Mansion, so why worry about Buck's life and death..."

Looking at everyone, Zheng Qiao smiled lightly and said: "Life and death are fate, Buckwheat only wishes to live up to the expectations of Ah Weng and his father, and in the future, he can be a glorious lintel for the Zheng family, so it's good." ”
