Chapter 245: Seeking Heart
"Everything was right, but the time and order changed, and the results couldn't be different." Pei Zongzhi said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect to be able to play like this!" ”
yes, I didn't expect to be able to play like this. Mr. Huang Shi glanced at the turtle with its head sticking out on the side: "It seems that she had this idea early this morning." ”
"Let me guess, the problem of time must be that she told His Majesty that the time was not right, and asked His Majesty to deliberately pick the holy decree passed on at that time, right?" Mr. Yellowstone pursed his lips, looking like he could see through her thoughts.
Pei Zongzhi looked at him with a somewhat complicated expression.
"What's wrong, I'm not right?" Mr. Huang Shi asked rhetorically.
Pei Zongzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's the opposite. ”
"She is the only one in the court today who asks His Majesty to pass on the holy decree as soon as possible."
"So kind?" Mr. Yellowstone was frightened.
"But His Majesty refused." Pei Zongzhi looked at him and said.
Belch...... That's really ...... Mr. Huang Shi was stunned, why did His Majesty refuse?
"At that time, Your Majesty was going to give the beauty of Goguryeo to Chen Gong, and she told Her Majesty that she would pick a good day and send it as soon as possible, sooner rather than later, to show that His Majesty's imperial grace is vast."
"Yes, no problem!" Mr. Huang Shi nodded, "What reason does Your Majesty have to refuse?" ”
The expression on Pei Zongzhi's face was very complicated: "I also realized it later, although she didn't have much contact with His Majesty, but the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, she really knew Your Majesty the best." ”
"That's right, it's right, but it's not right with Your Majesty."
"The humane gentleman's heart is unpredictable, but this time, she calculated the king's heart. His Majesty's attitude towards the Chen brothers is elusive, hateful and afraid, and it is a compromise to give the beauty to Chen Gong, but His Majesty is unwilling, and she said at that time, in front of the Manchu Dynasty, what is the emperor's grace and special selection of good days and auspicious days, what is the difference between this and currying favor with the Chen brothers? Do you think Your Majesty will be happy? What's more, in front of the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty, ordinary people will lose face, not to mention the Son of Heaven? So this holy decree was no longer passed on on good days, so it happened to be rewarded with Chen Gong before and after the accident. ”
"And what about Your Majesty?"
"I don't know if Your Majesty will endure it, but the statement will not." Pei Zongzhi shook his head and sighed, "Since ancient times, people's hearts have been the most difficult to calculate, and this time, she is right." ”
"It's really amazing, but it's a pity, it's not an opponent, if you have this opponent, you have no regrets." Pei Zongzhi's eyes lit up.
Mr. Huang Shi twitched the corners of his mouth, but did not laugh, but frowned, and after a while, he spoke: "You really don't have to be so sorry, you and her, maybe one day you may really be opponents." The grievances between the two families of Zhang Pei can be traced back to more than 400 years. Perhaps, sooner or later, you will get what you want. ”
"But at least not now, and I'm an outsider." Pei Zongzhi shook his head, "Let's go, let's go back, it's late, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy fireworks." ”
"I like fireworks so much, why don't you buy a fireworks and firecrackers shop and put them every day!"
The two drifted apart, and soon they could no longer be seen.
……
"Sixteen, what are you doing?" When the drama on stage was singing to its best, everyone applauded, and the children of the Wang family in the audience also opened their mouths to talk from time to time.
The boy who was called sixteen was still young, but he was only eleven or twelve years old, he was born beautiful and cute, but he wore a thick red robe, which looked as funny as a child stealing an adult's robe.
Seeing the elders of the clan asking questions, Wang Sixteen waved his robe excitedly and showed them his red robe: "Look, my red robe has a lot of face embroidered on it, you say, will my grandfather like it?" ”
It turned out that it was to please my grandfather, and the teenagers exchanged glances with each other a few times, but did not speak. The children of the Wang family, who doesn't want to please the old lady, but the one who is most favored by the old lady, and the one who takes him by his side to teach him personally is the seventh brother Wang Xu.
"Huh? What about the seven elder brothers? Wang Sixteen looked up as soon as he showed off his kung fu, but saw that the seventh brother who was sitting next to his grandfather was gone, and today the seventh brother has disappeared a few times, even if he eats bad stomachs, he is not so frequent.
However, if the seventh brother is gone, it is just right that he can go and let his grandfather take a look at the newly made robe on his body.
It's just that the person was just about to raise his feet, and he saw that Wang Xu was back, and Wang Sixteen was disappointed, so let's find another time to show my grandfather!
"Where did you go again?" The ghosts with strange faces painted on the stage are walking staggeringly, this is singing the section of the Yin and Yang Road at night, today's two plays are newly choreographed, and they have never been seen before, interesting and novel, and the audience applauded again and again.
"Grandfather, someone has carried the pot."
Old lady Wang raised her eyebrows: "Who?" By the way, he picked up the half-warm tea cup on the side and took two sips: good tea!
"Your Majesty!"
"Poof-" The old lady Wang, who was drinking tea, almost squirted out a mouthful of water.
"Grandfather, have you forgotten the beauty that Your Majesty is going to send to the court today? Chen Gong on the front foot was just diagnosed as inhumane, and His Majesty's beauty on the back foot was delivered. Wang Xu couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing with a face, it was different and vivid.
"Humph!" Old lady Wang put down the tea cup in her hand, "Then she should be more proud, hurry up, pass the order, today the old man doesn't want to see her proud face, don't let her in." ”
Grandfather's temper seems to be extremely unreasonable when facing Wei Liu, like a child.
Although Wang Xu thought so, he still responded and ordered to go down, watch the door, and never let her in today.
……
Although the door of the Wei Mansion is closed, the room is full of joy, jujube cakes and cakes are preparing New Year's goods, pastries and bacon gifts are covered with baskets and baskets, and they are sealed with red paper to make it auspicious.
"Miss, those New Year's gifts are ready," the jujube cake chirped on the side, "The slaves and maids have helped you list it, and the old lady also specially said it to the jujube cake, people say that above the officialdom, there are some rules to understand, we don't bribe, but we also have to know the etiquette." ”
"The basket on the edge is He Qingtian."
"Then there is Qiao Xiangye, Lord Sikong's family and the Li Mansion Mu family, Zhu Guogong's mansion ......" Jujube Cake wrenched his fingers, thinking of who reported the name of whom, "Miss is going to these houses to pay New Year's greetings!" ”
"Okay!" Wei Yaoqing nodded and responded, "Take a basket out first, and when I'm free, I'll go to pay New Year's greetings to Old Lady Wang first." She smiled and narrowed her eyes, "And then go one by one." ”
After playing for an afternoon, it's time for dinner, fireworks and firecrackers in Chang'an City are rising, the whole city is dressed in colorful clothes, and it is lively, even if you stand on the bell tower, you can still hear the noise and excitement in the city.
Mr. Huang Shi stood on the bell tower and sighed: "What a prosperous Chang'an, the prosperous era is in sight!" ”
