Chapter Ninety-Eight: Quotas
Qian answered, "Wouldn't it be a joke that the daughter of the Hou Mansion can't get married?" I don't know how many people in the world can't wear Yunjin. ”
Zhao nodded, she also had this intention, thinking about it, if the scourge of Zhiwan stayed in the Hou Mansion, who knew when the king of Yuejun would come and find fault with her, she still wanted to live for two more years, so she said, "Just pick from the merchants, the one with a solid family background will live a lifetime in peace and stability, which is better than anything else." ”
Qin Zhiyu had been hiding in the side room and eavesdropping, and when she saw that the outsiders were gone, she walked out and said, "But how can a merchant have the courage to marry the fourth sister?" ”
Zhao's face turned pale, and Qian glared at Qin Zhiyu, didn't she say that the old lady couldn't speak, and she was busy saying that there were many bold businessmen.
Zhiwan listened to the discussion between the Zhao family and the Qian family, and became a six-grade official from a merchant, and was worried that the six-grade would be a marquis and become a seven-grade or eight-pin, Zhiwan stood there, his eyelids were about to cramp, you just marry me to a villager who doesn't know a big word!
Zhiwan looked at Dingyuanhou, waiting for him to speak, but he held the teacup and didn't drink it, just held it, through the mist of water, Zhiwan found that her father was fugue, not only Zhiwan found out, Qian and Zhao both found out, Dingyuanhou has been fugue several times this morning!
Marquis Dingyuan was still thinking about the words that the emperor said to him in the imperial study yesterday, the emperor would not say those words for no reason, and Gonggong Xu would not remind him that he must have good intentions, and he also issued a holy decree to be cruel to his son-in-law, how many people in Kyoto were ruthless to his son-in-law? Even if he doesn't stammer, he is absolutely polite, and he still points out that his son-in-law is good to his daughter, but the emperor wants him to be ruthless to his son-in-law, and the emperor knows who his son-in-law is?
The more Dingyuan Hou thought about it, the more he felt that his mind was a mess, Zhiwan's relatives and the emperor intervened, and King Yuejun sent someone to look at her two children, if he wanted to say that he didn't know the details of Zhiwan, who would believe it? King Yue Jun did that. What is the intention, he still hasn't figured it out, does the emperor know the father of the two children? Or does King Yue Jun also know?
Marquis Dingyuan wanted to ask the emperor very much, but he was afraid that it would be self-defeating. It seemed that he had to go to the small courtyard for a trip, Dingyuan Hou put down the teacup, got up and left, and didn't even hear the Qian family call him.
Zhao waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with the imperial court." ”
If there is something in the court, Hou Ye will not see those ladies at all, Hou Ye came back this time, and his behavior is confusing, "What about the relatives of the four girls?" ”
Zhao is tired and tired. "No one came to the door to propose marriage within a month, so she moved to live in Zhuangzi."
Dingyuan Hou turned over and dismounted, Lao Liu Tou was drunk outside the door, snoring, Dingyuan Hou shook his head. Stepping in, he went straight to the small courtyard, and before he had stepped through the moon-shaped arch, two figures flashed out and blocked his way.
The dark guard looked at Dingyuan Hou with an expressionless face, and his voice was cold, "Master Hou." Please come back. ”
Dingyuan Hou sneered, "When did Xiaoyuan become the king of Yue County?" Get out of the way! ”
The secret guard stood there, standing still, Dingyuan Hou's face changed, and he shot directly, and the three of them fought in the courtyard. There are so many people that I can't tell who is who.
Dingyuan Hou can't win with one enemy and two, but it is not easy to defeat him.
After dozens of moves. The courtyard was in a mess, and Lao Liu Tou came running with a full body of wine, and said, "Don't fight, the small courtyard is going to be demolished by you, Hou Ye is just looking at his grandson, don't fight!" ”
Only then did the two secret guards stop and said, "Master Hou, the prince of the county has ordered that no one is allowed to approach without his permission, and we are also acting on orders, and Lord Hou wants to break through unless he steps on our corpses." ”
In an instant, the small courtyard was tense again, and another secret guard said softly, "Why don't you let him enter the house, and let the four girls know when you go back, you will definitely be angry with the master again, the master is angry, and we are the unlucky ones, let's just turn a blind eye?" ”
The most important thing is that he can't hold it back, it's too unfortunate that Dingyuan Hou came, he just wanted to relieve himself, he came here, if this has been a stalemate......
Dark Guard still didn't have any expression on his face, but he frowned for a moment, and then moved out of the way, "I hope Hou Ye just looks, the temperament of the county prince, we don't need to say more, Hou Ye should be clear." ”
Dingyuan Hou walked away, and the two secret guards followed closely, originally to follow up the house, Lao Liu Tou held Dingyuan Hou and didn't do anything, let them guard outside.
When Chunxiang and Sister-in-law Qian heard the movement, they watched from the window, and when they saw Dingyuanhou coming over, they hurriedly put Chen'er and Si'er on the bed, and then stood aside, waiting for Dingyuanhou to come in, and hurriedly saluted.
Dingyuan Hou walked to the side of the bed, watched Chen'er call Da Dongzhu with his hand, and then turned over, while Si'er looked at the sky-blue gauze tent, screaming and kicking hard with both feet.
Dingyuanhou leaned over to pick up Chen'er, just when his hand just touched, Dingyuanhou's eyes condensed, grabbed Chen'er's arm, and saw that a purple rope was tied to the lotus-like white arm, Dingyuanhou found the knot, and his eyes sank even more, "Who tied this purple rope?" ”
Chunxiang hurriedly shook her head, she didn't know, and looked at Qian again, thinking that she was tied it, Dingyuan Hou also looked at Sister-in-law Qian, Sister-in-law Qian didn't almost have weak legs, and said, "Yes, it's two halves of immortals, Yao's mother also said that he is the master of the Reclining Buddha Temple, called, called ......." ”
Sister-in-law Qian hesitated for a long time, and didn't remember what to call it, Dingyuan Hou frowned and asked, "No master?" ”
Sister-in-law Qian nodded again and again, "It's him, it's the master of no chance." ”
Marquis Dingyuan waved his hand, let Sister-in-law Qian and Chunxiang go out, and then picked up Chen'er, grabbed his arm and looked at it carefully, his brows tightened more and more, how could this child be tied to the imperial rope by the master who had no chance?
Zhiwan doesn't know who the child's father is, and Yao's mother doesn't know, who is the child's father?
Dingyuan Hou looked at this child who was very similar to Zhiwan, his face slowly melted, pinched Chen'er's pink little face, and sat Si'er on his lap with him, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, but soon, Dingyuan Hou found that the purple rope had disappeared, and he was so surprised that he hurriedly put Si'er down, grabbed Chen'er's arm to find it, Dingyuan Hou didn't think about killing the two children, and knew that Chen'er had the emperor's life, and Dingyuan Hou loved him too late.
In order to find the purple rope, Dingyuan Hou took off all Chen'er's clothes, and did not find the purple rope, but let him find the red rope tied on Chen'er's feet, as well as the black jade unicorn hanging around his neck.
Dingyuan Hou was sure that he didn't give it to Zhiwan. The jade is clear, moist and delicate, and even the jade pendant he wears can not be compared, so he called Sister-in-law Qian again. How does Sister-in-law Qian know where this jade pendant came from, anyway, the little master has been wearing it since he was born and has never taken it off.
Qian was afraid of freezing the two children, so he had the courage to pick up Chen'er and help him get dressed.
Coming out of the courtyard, Dingyuanhou's mind has been on the jade pendant, riding on horseback, Dingyuanhou is still thinking about the jade pendant.
On the street, people come and go, and Dingyuan Hou rides across the street. Suddenly, a child chased a bun and ran to the middle of the road, and when he was about to step on it, Dingyuan Hou hurriedly grabbed the reins, and the next second, the child was picked up.
The cold wind carried the little boy's belt. Then put him down, upstairs, Ye Guiyue opened the jade fan at once, and the enchanting phoenix eyes looked down at Dingyuan Hou, "Hengjie Zongma, Dingyuan Hou is so bold!" ”
The Marquis of Dingyuan rode on horseback, and his face had not recovered from the shock. Just now, when he was holding the reins, he suddenly remembered when he had seen that jade pendant, and that jade pendant belonged to the emperor!
When the emperor was competing for the crown prince, he was assassinated and injured his shoulder. When he was treating his injuries, he saw the emperor with the jade pendant around his neck!
How could his grandson have the emperor's personal jade pendant?!
Marquis Dingyuan vetoed this absurd idea in his heart, Zhiwan never went out a few times, and the emperor never went to the Reclining Buddha Temple alone, so he had no chance to contact him. Besides, it has been almost twenty years since he saw the jade pendant, and it is entirely possible that the emperor will reward the jade pendant to the concubine or any prince, if it is really the emperor's child, wouldn't he be the emperor's father-in-law, will the emperor be stupid enough to let him be cruel to his son-in-law?
Ye Guiyue leaned half of his body on the window, his eyes stared at Dingyuanhou, he asked for a long time, but he didn't see Dingyuanhou answer, and he didn't even look at him. I couldn't help frowning.
Yuan Hao stood aside and laughed loudly, "Last time, you sent him a coffin, and you had to marry his daughter, and you put him in prison, but in the end, you retired your relatives, and even more harmful, his daughter can't marry, so it's strange that he will take care of you." ”
Ye Guiyue closed the jade fan with a click, jumped down directly from the window, and walked towards Dingyuanhou, but Dingyuanhou glanced at him, grabbed the reins, and let the horse turn around and leave.
Upstairs, Yuan Hao leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, he saw clearly, it was not the king of Yuejun who scared away the Marquis of Dingyuan, it was the Marquis of Dingyuan who didn't want to deal with him at all, and turned around and left.
Leng Feng stood there, saw the Marquis of Dingyuan running in the direction of the palace, and subconsciously reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, "Master, the fourth girl has a bad temper, there is a reason for it, don't blame her." ”
Leng Feng thought that Ye Guiyue would be angry, but he didn't know that the corners of his mouth slowly arced, and the jade fan shook gently, "Committing murder on the street, ignoring the law of the country, and contemptuous of the king of this county, the king of this county wants to impeach him." ”
Leng Feng was a little messy, "Master, are you kidding, if you impeach Marquis Dingyuan, it will be a matter of taking away his title, and the fourth girl must not turn her face with you?" ”
"Go for it!"
“…… Yes, subordinates obey. ”
Besides, when the Marquis of Dingyuan entered the palace, he went directly to the imperial study and asked the little father-in-law to call Father-in-law Xu out, Father-in-law Xu was a little surprised, and a little puzzled, and saluted, "What is the matter with the Hou Ye looking for a slave?" ”
Marquis Dingyuan said with a smile, "Father-in-law Xu doesn't have to be polite, I have something I want to ask my father-in-law, does the emperor have a piece of ink jade unicorn jade pendant?" ”
Gonggong Xu didn't react, he didn't understand what Dingyuan Hou meant, Dingyuan Hou described the jade pendant in detail, and Xu Gonggong smiled, "The slave still thinks that the Hou Ye is talking about which jade pendant, the slave remembers, there is such a piece, the emperor has brought it for many years, okay, how can the Hou Ye think about it and ask about this?" ”
Marquis Dingyuan smiled, "I accidentally saw it today, when did the emperor lose it?" ”
Gonggong Xu shook his head and said with a smile, "I didn't lose it, the emperor rewarded people a few years ago." ”
"I don't know which prince the emperor gave the reward?"
For Dingyuan Marquis to ask such a question, Gonggong Xu was suspicious, but he didn't think much about it, he must have thought that the emperor had lost it, and he wanted to find it back to get back to the emperor or the prince, so he said, "I don't think the Hou Ye needs to look for it, the jade pendant was begged by the king of Yuejun a few years ago, and it is estimated that he is tired of playing, and he can't say that he can throw it away." ”
"King Yuejun?" How could it be him, Marquis Dingyuan was stunned by thunder, Gonggong Xu shook his head and smiled secretly, the things that King Yuejun did to Marquis Dingyuan, not to mention stammering, it would be good to see that he didn't walk around.
Gonggong Xu turned around to leave, but he thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Where did Master Hou see the jade pendant?" Dare to throw the emperor's reward, this crime is not small. ”
Marquis Dingyuan was stunned at first. immediately reacted, Gonggong Xu wanted him to find the jade pendant, and then impeach the king of Yuejun, so as to help the emperor get back a gold medal for avoiding death. The Marquis of Dingyuan also hoped that the jade pendant was thrown away by the king of Yuejun, but when he thought that the king of Yuejun had tied a purple rope, although it was only three days before he ripped it off, Chen'er's purple rope came and went, and then thought about Chen'er's appearance, the more he thought about it, the more he felt like Ye Guiyue, especially the phoenix eyes.
Chen'er and Si'er won't be the children of King Yuejun, right?
If it was true, how could he send someone to monitor his children, and insisted on retiring from Zhiwan's family affairs, and the chickens and dogs of the Dingyuan Houfu couldn't live in peace. The more Dingyuan Hou thought about it, the more he felt that it would not be him.
Definitely not! He doesn't want such a gentleman's son-in-law!
Maybe Zhiwan picked up his jade pendant, but not necessarily?
After Dingyuan Hou left, there was no longer much talk in the house about whether anyone dared to come to the door to propose marriage, Qin Zhiyu dragged the Qian family to talk about tomorrow's hibiscus banquet, and asked her who she could decide the last place for, whether it was for Qin Zhirou or Qin Zhixue. Or Qin Zhixin.
Qin Zhirou and the three of them also looked at Qian's with a smile, and clenched their hands nervously, Qian was embarrassed, "There is only one quota left, and I don't know who to give it to, listen to the old lady." ”
Biased things that cause resentment, Qian is unwilling to do it. She wanted to see who Zhao's heart was towards, Qian gave the quota selection to Zhao, Zhao's face sank, she got up early and gave it to Shan'er, and she didn't need them to fight, but now she let her take the idea. I already knew where I was going, Zhao Shi moved the Buddha beads and said, "You can make up your own mind, my wife doesn't want to provoke the juniors to complain about injustice." ”
Qian Shi hurriedly said, "How can it be." The old lady has always been the most just, let whoever goes and who stays, you say a word, how dare they complain? ”
Qian just didn't let go, she was waiting, waiting for Zhao to mention the second room, sure enough, Zhao hesitated and said, "With the three of them competing for it, I'll give Shan'er a place when I look at it." ”
A sneer crossed the corner of Qian's mouth, the old woman's heart was really biased towards the second room, and the second girl asked for peace every day, and asked for warmth, and it was not worth the position of the second room concubine in her mind, Qian glanced at Aunt Lan and said with a smile, "I thought that the old lady would read Aunt Lan's hard work to serve you and give the quota to the eighth girl." ”
Aunt Lan's face was stiff, her thin lips were pursed, and she didn't answer, could she not complain in her heart? If the daughter can participate in the hibiscus banquet, she will be able to participate in all kinds of banquets in the future, Xue'er has a good talent, there is always a chance to emerge, and when the time comes, she will enter the eyes of the prince and the prince, and she can also have a good home, she works hard to serve the old lady, and she does not dare to ask for more extravagance, this invitation is for the Hou Mansion, the old lady does not miss their mother and daughter, and all she thinks about is the second room that is divided, and she can't compare it no matter how she pleases her.
Zhao glanced at Qian, with coldness in his eyes, Qian didn't see it, and said with a smile, "I have already let the second girl follow, this is really unreasonable, I see that the third girl is one year older than the eighth girl and the ninth girl, why don't she go first, wait for next year's invitation, and then let the eighth girl and the ninth girl go?" ”
is one year older, it sounds good, in fact, it is not because Aunt Liu is her person, her heart is biased towards them, Qin Zhixue twisted the embroidered handkerchief, and her beautiful lips almost bit blood, next year's hibiscus banquet, the fourth sister and the sixth sister are all married, even if they are not married, who knows if they will be invited, this year's Hou Mansion has an invitation, it is entirely because the fourth sister has a good relationship with the lord of Jining, in case there is no one, wouldn't she miss the opportunity in vain, besides, she doesn't want to wait one more year!
Qin Zhixue glanced at Zhiwan, who was sitting there silently and silently, and said softly, "Fourth sister, didn't Princess Liuhua ask you to buy any fireworks?" Did you send it, can you intercede with the county lord of Ji Ning and let our sisters go? ”
When it came to fireworks, Qian remembered, "Tomorrow is the Hibiscus banquet, why haven't you sent fireworks yet, didn't you buy them, in case you delay Princess Liuhua's banquet, you can't afford it." ”
Zhiwan shook her head, she hadn't seen Ye Guiyue for a few days, where did she know if the fireworks had been developed, it seemed that she had to find someone to urge, Zhiwan replied, "I'll send someone to urge in a while, it should be soon, it's just that the eighth sister wants me to invite the main person of Jining County, I'm afraid I can't do it, there are already two exceptions in the house, if there are a few more, I should go back and let people say that the hibiscus banquet is for our Dingyuan Marquis Mansion." ”
There are only more than sixty girls in total, and there are only six places in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, even if Qixiu doesn't need an invitation, but how many ladies in Kyoto, there are too many people in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and it will definitely make those ladies who haven't received the invitation complain, the lord of Jining gives her face like this, she can't get an inch.
Zhiwan said reasonably, Qian didn't agree with more invitations, in fact, in her heart, she didn't want her concubine to show up to participate in any banquet, Zhiwan had no choice, the county lord of Jining specially invited, not to let go.
After discussing for a long time, I couldn't decide who to let go, and I was bored listening to it at night, so I excused myself to find someone to urge fireworks and go back to the sandalwood courtyard first.
At the gate of the Sandalwood Courtyard, Zhiwan saw Bai Shao, and seeing her empty-handed, Poria hurriedly asked, "Didn't you go to the embroidery workshop to get the clothes, why did you come back empty-handed?" ”
Bai Shao glanced at Zhiwan and hurriedly replied, "The slave maid went to the embroidery workshop, and the mother of the housekeeper of the embroidery workshop said that the girl's clothes are not ready yet, so let the slave and maid go again in the morning." ”
