Chapter 52: Background Questions
Yang Qiqi's face turned red and explained: "I'm afraid that Mrs. Li will use the excuse of compensating me and getting close to me to arrange for me to live in the main house and monitor nearby, or find an excuse to change the people around me, and then arrange for the people next to me to serve, then I will really be pinched by her!" ”
The eldest princess of Yicheng smiled and pinched Yang Qiqi's cheek and said, "Since the queen mother has spoken, she has not disobeyed you."
Moreover, there are also the ancestors of the Yang family looking at it. After you enter the mansion, if you can get her protection, you won't be afraid of Mrs. Li's fire in the open and in the dark! ”
Yang Qiqi nodded again and again, "I have written it down, and please rest assured that the eldest princess and the eldest princess." ”
"When you see off your master on April 21, you will set off for Luoyang with us. When I arrived in Luoyang, I still lived in the Liang Guogong Mansion first. The eldest princess of Yicheng slowly spoke, and arranged in an orderly manner: "Caiping is my dowry, you take her back to the Yang family, if there is anything, there is a person to discuss." and the two big girls assigned to you by Yutang Academy, they are all very reliable, you can bring them back to the Yang family. There must also be a steward who can help you go out to run errands, and when you go back, I will find all the stewards in the outer courtyard of the Liang Guogong Mansion, and you can pick two hearty ones to bring with you. ”
Yang Qiqi was both moved and uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The master has also added to me one after another over the years, and now he is in the shop." If you are asked to worry about me like this, I will take away the powerful grandmother around you, so that Qiqi can be at peace in his heart. ”
The eldest princess of Wanchun said with a smile: "What's the matter, our Zhuo family has gone for a while, but you are different, this is your cousin's aunt's intention." Give you a powerful subordinate, we can rest assured! ”
Yang Qiqi couldn't refuse again, for fear of blowing the face of the eldest princess of Yicheng and chilling her heart, she only said: "Then wait until you get to Luoyang and then discuss, and I will also arrange the people who are following me now." ”
The eldest princess of Yicheng even claimed that she was good, and did not say anything about sending her mother-in-law and maid.
Since Yang Qiqi left the Taiji Palace, almost at the same time, the Seventh Prince, the Eleventh Prince, and the Thirteenth Prince all got the news from the Baifu Palace.
After Gao Ling reported back to Murong Shi, he couldn't help but complimentarily said: "Your Highness is really like a god, this Yang girl is really Mrs. Li's biological daughter, and now it is decided, let this Yang girl go back to the Yang family to enter the genealogy on the fifth day of the fifth month of May!" ”
Murong Shi frowned slightly, got up unhurriedly and said, "I am going to Luoyang, but this time the prince will stay in the capital without accompanying him, let's go to the East Palace to see if the prince has anything to explain." ”
Murong Shi suddenly wanted to go to the East Palace, which made Gao Ling a little confused, so he responded and immediately asked people to prepare the carriage.
The prince is summoning the prince to wash the horse, leaving and right Zhan Shi, Tongzhi Zhan Shiyuan and others. Murong Shi waited for a cup of tea in the side hall before someone came to invite him into the main hall of the East Palace.
The prince greeted him with a smile and said, "Everyone is ready to pack up and salute, why do you have time to come?" ”
Murong Shi saluted him respectfully, and said with a smile: "I will leave for Luoyang in the next two days, and I have come to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince if he has anything to explain." ”
The prince said: "The seventh brother has always been the most meticulous, what can I explain to you." Zuo just asks you to be diligent in front of your father, mother, and grandmother, and do your filial piety for me. ”
Murong Shi knew that the emperor was called a prisoner this time, and left the crown prince in Chang'an, which made him a little unhappy. He nodded and smiled: "Please rest assured, my father is like this, and it is also to train the crown prince, and I hope you will be on your own as soon as possible." It's just that my father and you have never been separated for a long time, who knows if I will miss you too much in two days and let you go to Luoyang immediately! It's also very close to each other! ”
The prince reluctantly accepted it in his heart, and joked: "My father has eleven brothers, so everything is enough." We are both sons of our father, but we are a little bit worse. ”
Murong Shi noncommittally lowered his head and brushed his somewhat wrinkled clothes, and said: "There is a happy event in the Yuguo Mansion today, and Your Highness should not forget to send a gift to the Yuguo Gong." My father has always been willing to listen to the words of Duke Yuguo, if you give him a face, he will also remember your goodness! ”
The crown prince has already begun to help the emperor manage the government, and there are endless people to see and talk about endless things, so naturally he didn't pay attention to such a thing as Yu Guogong finding his daughter. After receiving Murong Shi's reminder, he remembered that there was such a incident yesterday that caused trouble to the Queen Mother, and immediately asked with great interest: "Whose illegitimate daughter is that little girl?" ”
Murong Shi smiled: "You can think wrong! This Miss Yang is really the serious daughter of the Duke of Yuguo, the biological daughter of Mrs. Li, and the three girls of the Yang family are sisters of the same mother. ”
When the prince heard this, he said suspiciously: "I don't remember that Mrs. Li gave birth to a daughter!" ”
Murong Shi's eyes were stunned, and he smiled at the prince casually: "Mrs. Li has never given birth to a daughter, where did this Yang girl come from?" The younger brother heard that yesterday, Duke Yu and Mrs. Li couldn't wait to go to the Duke of Liang's mansion to bring this girl back to the Yang family. Who knew that after a trip in vain, Mrs. Li actually cried all the way back to the Yuguo Mansion from the Liang State Mansion. Today, after the morning court, even the princess of Pingyang went to the Baifu Palace, and the queen mother made the decision, and on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, let this Yang girl go back to the Yuguo Mansion to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors. So the eldest brother's gift has to be prepared in two! ”
The prince smiled mysteriously and said, "It's not my nonsense! This Yang girl was born in the second year of Yonghui, and I was twelve years old at that time, and I already remembered. At that time at the banquet in the palace, I had never seen Mrs. Li with a big belly. Not to mention that she gave birth to a child, can Concubine Li still give a reward from the palace? Don't make any trouble with Yu Guogong, insist that Mrs. Li admit it, and save his own face. ”
Murong Shi's heart moved slightly, but he still said quietly: "The left and right Yuguo Mansion recognize it like this, and there are still the emperor's grandmother and father watching from the sidelines, is it all right!" ”
After that, Murong Shi helped the prince come up with some gift ideas, so he got up and retired. Coming out of the palace, he couldn't wait to tell Gao Lingdao: "You go and ask Mixia beside Concubine Li to see if Mrs. Li has ever been born in October of the second year of Yonghui!" ”
Gao Ling didn't dare to ask anything, so he answered and went to do something immediately.
On the other hand, after Murong Zhao heard the news, he didn't say anything, but just told An Liang to prepare, and he would go to Luoyang with the Zhuo family.
However, after the thirteenth prince Murong Xi knew Yang Qiqi's life experience, he couldn't help but feel disappointed and happy.
"She turned out to be the concubine of the Yuguo Mansion!" Murong Xi squinted his eyes, but said regretfully: "I originally planned to beg the imperial grandmother to make her a female official in my house." Not now! Speaking of this, Murong Xi seemed to think of something again, and said eagerly: "But the concubine of the Yuguo Mansion is good, isn't Zhaoning the Nine Emperor Concubines appointed by the imperial grandmother?" The imperial grandmother likes Yang Qiqi so much, I will go and beg the imperial grandmother to point out that girl to me! ”
Wan Bao, who was serving him tea and pouring water, heard this, his hand trembled obviously, and the tea immediately poured out. Murong Xi reacted quickly, jumped up and said, "It's me who wants to get married, what are you excited about as a eunuch!" ”
Wan Bao said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, can you rest for a day or two before you have a moth!" Then how did the girl of the Yang family go back to the Yang Mansion? Didn't you send the poems you gave to the Queen Mother at the beginning? Besides, your marriage has to be decided by His Majesty and the Queen, can you say it yourself! ”
Murong Xi only listened to the first half of Wan Bao's words, and said happily: "It's not! Without me, how could she, Yang Qiqi, get back to the Yuguo Mansion? You say, does she have to thank me!? Murong Xi said, like a spirit monkey, and rushed out.
Wan Bao had no choice but to chase after him and said, "Your Highness, you always think that His Highness Eleven's things are good, and the people you come into contact with are good, you really have to change this problem." Otherwise, when His Majesty gives the marriage, you can still rob His Highness Eleventh! ”
Murong Xi snorted, "I just want what Murong Zhao really likes!" It's not what he really likes, and I'm too lazy to pay attention to it! ”
Wan Bao couldn't help but whisper: "What is this picture!" ”
Murong Xi ignored him, only asked people to prepare horses, and happily went to the Liang State Mansion.
At that time, in the side hall of Yutang Courtyard, Yang Qiqi was discussing with two very reliable shopkeepers how to contact him in the future.
"Once the girl enters the Yuguo Mansion, I'm afraid that I can't be as casual as now, if there is anything, we won't be able to come to the door easily, and I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient to exchange any letters." The person who spoke was called Liao Changchun, Yang Qiqi's most powerful shopkeeper, he was twenty-one this year, he was born very Sven, a pair of eyes that are not big or small, people know at a glance that he is a very shrewd person.
When Yonghui was ten years old, he was still in Yuhang, and he was a farmer who He Qianfan gave to Yang Qiqi paddy field. As soon as the paddy field changed hands, he encountered a disaster year, he hid from his parents, first went to the He family to ask for rent reduction, knowing that the paddy field was transferred to the name of He Qianfan's sister, he actually found Ulsan all the way, pleaded with Yang Qiqi, and promised that in the harvest year, there will be more than 30% of the harvest. Yang Qiqi felt that he was a reliable and astute person at that time, and immediately trained him to be an apprentice in Chang'an grain and oil shop.
In the fifteenth year of Yonghui, Liao Changchun became the indispensable shopkeeper of the Rouge Fourteen.
Rouge Sonnet is a general title. There are many types of shops, including ready-to-wear clothes, cloth, carmine powder, jewelry and other children's household items. When she was doing this business back then, Yang Qiqi was thinking that she was not good at anything else in her previous life, but she was very familiar with what the noblewomen and daughters in Beijing liked, and the things they were scrambling to use. Women are naturally fond of jewelry, clothes and gouache, but they also like the new and hate the old. is aimed at his own prediction of what will happen later, and the time difference is enough to make a little famous.
Sure enough, in less than two years' work, the more prosperous towns in Dayan have shops with Rouge Fourteen Lines.
Rouge has also become a place where the ladies of dignitaries and nobles often go to have fun.
Yang Qiqi was not too worried about what Liao Changchun said, and said with a smile: "When I enter the Yuguo Mansion, I will send a letter to Ulsan every day." The master would also send me a letter every day. What you have, it's all in there. Every month there are new patterns, and everything remains the same as before. If there is anything urgent, you can come to my Senior Brother Zhuo and ask him to find a way to help me convey it. ”
Yang Qiqi was explaining to Liao Changchun one by one, when suddenly, the door was pushed open with a "bang", and someone broke in.
