Chapter Ninety-Six: Marquis Dingyuan
Xiu'er hurriedly asked, "What about the medicine that the fourth girl gave to the county master, why didn't you see it?" ”
Poria was embarrassed, she almost forgot about it, and hurriedly took out a brocade box from her sleeve, Xiu'er looked at her suspiciously, and Poria said helplessly, "This is really medicine for the county lord." ”
I haven't seen it yet, so I was so surprised, and when Xiu'er saw the four pills inside, each with a rope tied to it, she was even more surprised, "How do you take this medicine?" ”
Poria explained, "Tie the rope to the county lord's tooth, and swallow the medicine, and in about a quarter of an hour, the pill will completely melt, and then the thread will be thrown away, take one pill a day, and you can't drink water while taking the medicine." ”
The county lord of Ji Ning took a thread out, looked at the crystal clear pill on it, it was more beautiful than a pearl, and he liked it at a glance, and in front of the mirror, he carefully tied the rope to his teeth, and then swallowed it.
Xiu'er looked at the drawings, looked forward to the hibiscus banquet more and more, and told Poria Dao, "The princess promised the county lord to postpone the hibiscus banquet until the evening, and today she will notify the ladies who received the invitation, and the princess also specially entered the palace to find the emperor to borrow three hundred royal forest troops, and when the time comes, when the banquet is dispersed, she will personally escort them back to the house." ”
Poria nodded again and again, and then said, "My girl in Lotus Terrace is still thinking that the drawings will be sent tomorrow, and on the day of the banquet, can I bring one more maid?" ”
Xiu'er chuckled, "It's okay if you bring seven or eight here." ”
Outside, Princess Liuhua opened the curtain and came in, and the county lord of Jining hurriedly closed the burden and asked Xiu'er to take it down and put it away, which made Princess Liuhua very dissatisfied, "What kind of good thing, even the mother concubine won't show it?" ”
The county lord of Jining shook his head again and again, wanting to speak, but suddenly gagged, Princess Liuhua was anxious, asked the maid to go to the imperial doctor, and asked her if she had a cold at night, the county lord of Jining hurriedly shook his head and said no. She was nagging because she had pills in her throat, but Princess Liuhua insisted on inviting the imperial doctor to come, and she was still puzzled, "Why did the concubine smell a faint fragrance?" ”
Ji Ning hurriedly closed his mouth. Princess Liuhua poked her head with her hand, "It turns out that you stole something, and the mother didn't rob you, and hid it?" Beware of choking. ”
The county lord of Ji Ning leaned his head against her, Princess Liuhua patted her head, and turned to look at Poria Cocos, Poria was busy retiring, and she heard Princess Liuhua smile and said, "Ji Ning, the Furong Banquet Mother Concubine will be handed over to you." You can't do it too badly. ”
The county lord of Ji Ning pouted and got angry, and Xiu'er hurriedly said, "Don't worry, princess, the hibiscus banquet is definitely more lively than before." ”
Lord Ji Ning nodded violently, and Princess Liuhua pinched her little baby fat face. The smile is peerless, "You are not allowed to brag in front of the mother, then the mother will wait and see." ”
Princess Liuhua said this, it just made the county lord of Jining a little pressure, she couldn't mess around, the hibiscus banquet was so important, how could Princess Liuhua not be careful. From the fact that she asked the emperor for the Imperial Forest Army, it was clear that she didn't ask the county lord of Jining because everything was done by the maid and the mother-in-law, what was done, and what to do, she knew it clearly, otherwise how could she rest assured?
As for the hibiscus feast at night. It's not very different from the daytime, but it's just a matter of spending more candles, and there have been many dinners in the palace, she is a princess, how can she know?
The county lord of Ji Ning thought about the burden. Feeling that the time was very tight, she hurriedly pushed her mother out, and then came back, looked at the drawings, and showed them to Xiu'er, Xiu'er looked at it and said, "A thousand lamps, can it be made in six days?" ”
The county lord of Ji Ning shook his head, and took a few more to her, Xiu'er was almost not stunned, ten drawings, different styles, one hundred of each, this is nothing, I saw that it was written on the paper, the more styles, the better.
The lanterns are not valuable, but the number is too big, and there are wines, and the wine for the young masters of the world to drink is ten, and the girls are to drink fruit wine, as well as cups, there are requirements, no wonder Poria said that her girl didn't close her eyes all night in order to draw pictures, yes, she didn't close her eyes, and she couldn't sleep when she went down and over again at night, so she ran up and continued to draw.
There are also pastries, fruits, even the plates for fruits are extraordinarily large, and even the tables on which the food is placed have drawings.
In fact, Zhiwan didn't draw so finely, so they drew a picture, and they just had to turn it into reality.
The more Xiu'er looked at it, the more she was amazed, all the things she hadn't seen or even thought about, and she was looking forward to the banquet more and more, but fortunately, after Princess Liuhua left, she asked the maid to send five thousand taels of silver.
With the silver, things are easy to do, and I found ten maids, one of whom was responsible for a part, and set the completion time, and after the order, Xiu'er was tired and lay down.
The hibiscus banquet has been held four times, all held during the day, and suddenly changed to night, which set off a lot of movement in Kyoto, gradually, everyone knows that the hibiscus banquet was changed to night because of the idea of the four girls of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to the county lord of Jining, the dumb little county lord has no opinion, is bewitched, and cries and makes trouble in front of Princess Liuhua, Princess Liuhua loves her daughter, so she asked the emperor to change the hibiscus banquet to the evening, it can be seen that Princess Liuhua is favored by the emperor, and the arrogance of the county lord of Jining, The audacity of the four girls of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion ......
When everyone talks about knowing the night, there is no other adjective, only four words of audacity.
Zhiwan is just that, how can it be her who really makes the decision, even so, Zhao and Qian also called Zhiwan to count it hard, basically in case the hibiscus banquet is held at night, she can't escape punishment.
Four days have passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Zhiwan was reading a book in the house, flipping through randomly, feeling very irritable, thinking about the two children was a little crazy, she had endured it to the limit, and she didn't know how long she would have to endure it.
Yao's mother brought pastries into the house, seeing that Zhiwan's face was very bad, knowing that she wanted two children, and asked her if she could go to the courtyard in the morning, or send the child to her to see, Yao's mother refused, and when she saw Zhiwan like this, she couldn't bear it, "If the girl is not at ease, the slave can go to the courtyard to see the little master and the little lady." ”
Zhiwan looked at Yao's mother, "I just want to see them, can't I hug them?" ”
Yao's mother sighed, "The slave also wants the girl to go out, but the wife won't allow it, it's only been a few days, the girl can't help it, what can I do in the future?" ”
Zhiwan clenched her fists, she didn't want to care about it, she wanted to be with the two children, she wanted to tease them, "I want to leave the house!" ”
Zhiwan was about to go out, and Yao's mother was afraid that she would really go to find Qian. Grabbed her and said, "My little ancestor, don't be impulsive, the slave knows that you want the little master." But even if you can see it for a while, you can't keep it for a lifetime. ”
Zhiwan bit her lip, Yao's mother pulled her to sit down, and persuaded, "The girl listens to the slave maid's advice, the slave maid does not persuade you to forget the two children, the slave maid has been thinking about it for a few days, and I think it is time to talk to the girl. The slave maid should have some meaning to the girl when he sees him, he knows the two children, why don't the girl find a way to marry him? ”
Zhiwan was stunned when he heard it, marry him?
Poria shook her head on the side, "King Yuejun won't marry a girl." On that day he also said that it was a fool to marry a girl. ”
Yao's mother angrily raised her hand to hit Poria, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." ”
Poria pouted aggrievedly, "Mother! You know that if you beat me, I can't tell the truth! ”
Mother Yao really wants to beat Poria cocos, didn't she see that the girl was shaken, compared to marrying Master Huan. How can it be that the king of Yuejun is better, but the girl can't suffer in his hands, but now it's okay, as soon as she mentioned it, the girl shook her head.
Yao's mother dragged Poria by the ears and dragged her out. Zhiwan was about to go out, and suddenly found that there was an extra brocade box on the table, Zhiwan frowned, opened it and saw that there were ten needles inside.
Has he been here?
Zhiwan picked up one. Skimmed, it didn't break.
Linmo Xuan, in the study.
The man was lying on the couch, his bewitching phoenix eyes were closed, his hands were folded under his head, one leg was bent, and the other was cocked on it, swaying leisurely, and he was in a very good mood.
Leng Feng jumped in through the window, tiptoed forward with a brocade box, and called softly, "Master, your sword." ”
Ye Guiyue opened his eyes, the bottom of his eyes was like a star, and the cold wind that he saw turned his face straight over, facing the face that looked like a demon, it was really shocking, and in the next second, the brocade box had been opened.
Ye Guiyue picked up the sword, suddenly threw it, leaned over, drew the sword out of the sheath, the sword flashed, and with a bang, a delicate pear blossom wood chair had become a pile of wood.
Leng Feng leaned over and said enviously, "Master, for the sake of your subordinates, can you also change a fine iron sword for your subordinates?" ”
Ye Guiyue put the sword back in the brocade box, and asked instead, "The fine iron needle was given to her, did she say anything?" ”
Leng Feng shook his head, "The subordinate put down the needle and came back, but when the subordinate went down, I happened to hear Mother Yao persuading the fourth girl to marry you." ”
The corners of Ye Guiyue's mouth hooked, he smiled evilly, slapped the jade fan, and asked casually, "What did she say?" ”
"Before she could speak, her maid said that the master said that it was a fool to marry the fourth girl."
The smile on Ye Guiyue's face suddenly stiffened, "And then?" ”
"And then there was no then."
"She doesn't have the slightest idea of marrying me?" Ye Guiyue gritted his teeth and asked.
Leng Feng sighed lightly, he knew that the master was not dead, "There should be, she was going to the small courtyard to see the children, but was stopped by Yao's mother, Yao's mother said that if she wants to be with the two children, it is best to marry you." ”
Ye Guiyue's face darkened, he understood the meaning of the cold wind, even if Zhiwan wanted to marry him, it was so that he could be with the two children!
Leng Feng almost drew his sword against Yao's mother at that time, but fortunately, Poria cocos' words saved her life in time.
The master will not marry the fourth girl.
The four girls are also self-aware.
I didn't hold back in the end, and I struggled in the house for a long time, but I still took Poria to Meixiangyuan.
Inside the house, Qin Zhiyu was pulling Qian Shi to look at the jewelry she had just picked, "Mother, how do you see the jewelry I bought in Yujin Pavilion today, is it good?" I told the shopkeeper that if I didn't like it, I could go and change it in the afternoon. ”
Qian took the hosta and looked at it, and said with a smile, "It's really good, it matches your clothes style very well." ”
Qin Zhiyu pouted, "It's a pity, the hibiscus banquet was stirred up by the fourth sister and could only be held at night, at night, the black light was blind, even if the candles were lit, the people were blurred, if it was daytime, the daughter would definitely be shocked and give the mother a long face." ”
Qian nodded and smiled, "Don't talk big, everyone who can go to the hibiscus banquet has a skill, and it will be the hibiscus banquet in two days, so don't go out of the house, practice the piano in the courtyard with peace of mind." ”
Qin Zhiyu nodded and said, "Mother, I know, when will my father come back, didn't he say that he would come back in ten days, and yesterday was already the tenth day." ”
Biyu stepped forward and said, "Madam, the fourth girl is here." ”
Qian looked up and saw Zhiwan standing outside the bead curtain, without Qian's permission. She can't go straight in.
I've already asked for peace in the morning, why is it here?
Qian asked Biyu to take the jewelry down and put it away, Qin Zhiyu pouted and said, "Mother." You haven't finished reading it yet, you're afraid of what she's going to do! ”
Qian patted Qin Zhiwei's hand and said, "Mother is not afraid of her, mother is worried that your father will come back without knowing when, if she sues, your father will definitely buy her new jewelry." ”
As long as Hou Ye buys it, it won't be bad.
Qian knew it and was very angry, so he might have no choice but to avoid it.
Wait for Jasper to put away the jewelry. Just when I asked Zhiwan to go in, Qian took a sip of tea, and Qin Zhiyu said impatiently, "You don't prepare a hibiscus banquet in the courtyard, what are you doing here?" Don't think about my jewelry. It's not your share, this is what my mother bought with me, you want to go to Aunt Mei to ask for it! ”
Zhiwan pulled the corners of her mouth speechlessly, if she believed that it was bought with the Qian family's dowry, unless the sun hit the west and came out, she didn't want to dwell on this matter, in case she angered the Qian family. She didn't want to go out, Zhiwan shook her head and said, "I don't lack jewelry, just now someone has sent a message, saying that Chen'er and Si'er's family came to the door and asked me to take a look." Can I go out? ”
Qin Zhiyu was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did she remember who Chen'er and Si'er were, "Don't be like the Daiguo Mansion again, admit your mistake." ”
Qian Shi calmly looked down and took a sip of tea. Put down the tea, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "If those two children can't find their families, let's find a farmer to adopt." ”
Zhiwan picked up the matter of the two children, and almost the whole of Kyoto knew about it, but almost no one paid attention to it, if it wasn't for Zhiwan to talk about it, the Qian family would have forgotten.
Helping the two children find their families, this is a good thing, spreading the word, and it is also to show the face of the Hou Mansion, and the Qian family agreed to go out late.
Out of Meixiang Courtyard, Zhiwan breathed a sigh of relief, she finally got the pass, she knew that it was so easy, she went out yesterday.
Poria followed behind Zhiwan, and threw herself on the ground for Zhiwan's admiration, and even thought of such a reason, it was better to go to the little young master and the little lady in a bright and bright way, and it was good not to go secretly.
After getting into the carriage, the two went straight to the small courtyard.
When Zhiwan entered the house, she happened to hear Si'er crying again, crying very sadly, Zhiwan's heart suddenly lifted, and Sister-in-law Qian saw Zhiwan and said busily, "You hurry up and coax, Si'er just slapped the table too hard, and it hurts to pat her hand." ”
Zhiwan thought it was knocked, but she didn't expect it to hurt herself, so she hurriedly looked at Si'er's little hand, poked her head and said, "You deserve it, see if you dare to be afraid of the table next time, someone else's table provokes you, you want to shoot it?" ”
said that, Zhiwan still hugged Si'er, patted her back gently, and shouted in her mouth, "Be good, don't cry, my mother will blow it for you." ”
Si'er pulled Zhiwan's hair and wanted to stuff it into her mouth, Zhiwan really wanted to clap her hands, why did she keep teaching her, and hurriedly put her back in the cradle.
Zhiwan took the wave drum to play with her, and asked how the two children were in the past few days, Sister-in-law Qian replied one by one, and as she was talking, there was a sudden sound of Master Hou, which startled Zhiwan.
Zhiwan turned around, and saw Dingyuan Marquis standing at the door with a frown, his face was cold, Zhiwan hurriedly stood up, "Dad, why are you here?" ”
Dingyuan Hou stepped into the house, looked at Si'er who was playing with wave drums in the cradle, and then looked at Chen'er who was sleeping Zhengxiang, and frowned even more, "These are really the two children you picked up?" ”
Zhiwan's back was cold for a while, didn't he go out to Beijing on an errand, how could he even know this, what should she do now?
Dingyuan Marquis went all the way back to Beijing, on the way heard a lot of Zhiwan and Yuejun Wang's things, just about to go home, I saw Zhiwan hurriedly coming to the small courtyard, Dingyuan Marquis thought that he had not been here for many years, and he also came, I didn't expect to see Zhiwan holding the child and smiling so happily, which made him a little trance, but Zhiwan was a mother, and Dingyuan Hou's face was long.
Even if it was picked up, an unmarried daughter should not claim to be a mother, Dingyuanhou wanted to count Zhiwan two sentences, but found that Si'er kept stretching out his hand towards Zhiwan, and that look was very similar to Zhiwan stretching out his arm to him when he was a child, Dingyuanhou's face was even worse, "Who is the father of the two evil seeds?!" ”
Zhiwan bit her lip, "My daughter doesn't know either." ”
Dingyuan Hou was struck by lightning, his body was unstable, he took a step back, his hand raised, and he wanted to fight until late, but in the end, he couldn't bear to fight, "Who else knows about this?" ”
Zhiwan shook her head again and again, "My daughter is hiding it very tightly, and no outsiders know." ”
It's a tight secret, the whole of Kyoto knows that these two children were picked up by her, and she still has Shougong Sand on her arm to testify, Dingyuan Marquis suddenly found that this daughter was a little scary and a little strange, "It's because of them that you ran away from marriage in the first place?!" ”
Zhiwan nodded his head, Dingyuan Hou slapped his palm on the table, and then wow wow twice, Si'er was scared to cry, Chen'er was also scared to cry, Zhiwan was anxious, "Dad, it's me who made mistakes, don't scare them." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly picked up the dust and coaxed gently, and also shook the cradle to coax Si'er, heard the sound of the bead curtain shaking, and when he turned back at night, he found that Dingyuan Hou had left.
Sister-in-law Qian and Chunxiang hurriedly came in, looking at Zhiwan worriedly, "Master Hou seems to be very angry, why don't you run away quickly?" ”
If his daughter does such a thing, which father can bear it, Dingyuan Hou didn't kill him late, and Sister-in-law Qian was already very happy.
Escape? Will she be able to escape?
Now I can only think about it, now that her father knows, he shouldn't marry her, maybe he will arrange for her to leave Beijing, but what if he is the king of Yuejun?
Zhiwan didn't want to go back to the house, so she hugged the dust in the house, walking back and forth, the more she thought about it, the more confused she became, all this came too suddenly, and she didn't have time to think about it at all.
