Chapter 95: Jealousy
Maihime's will has collapsed because she is locked in a silent wooden box, as long as she is not allowed to return to that environment and let her turn around and kill her master, she will not hesitate to attack. [Full text reading. 】
But the content of her confession made Sun Yanling feel both disappointed and expected.
The person who instructed them was a guard under Yu Xuan, and when Qi Dongping and Yu Xuan led people to arrest him, he had committed suicide, leaving a suicide note saying that it was because Sizhen's father, Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, burned to death Princess Bai's cousin and her son, that is, his wife and children, and he wanted revenge, so he would arrange someone to assassinate him, and frame Sizhen, he wanted to make the people of the Kong family unable to raise their heads in Guilin......
The wife of this garrison is indeed a distant relative of the Bai family, Sizhen's mother, a few days before the city of Guilin was broken, she took her children to take refuge in the Kong family, thinking that the palace was safer than outside...... She and her son were indeed killed when the city of Guilin was destroyed, but no one knows whether they died in the fire.
By this time, no matter whether the matter was true or not, it was impossible to investigate any further, and the clue was completely interrupted here. And Yu Xuan looked distressed, claiming that his majesty was not strict, and he didn't even find out that his subordinates were such confused people for so many years...... He is responsible for the failure to supervise this matter, and should be punished, etc.
There is no evidence that this matter has anything to do with Jia or Yuxuan, and at this time, Sizhen has to comfort him in turn, saying that this matter is the guard's confusion and has nothing to do with him.
Even so, Guoan still went to the court to demote him to a guerrilla general in the name of Yuxuan's ineffective supervision and lax imperial authority, which can be regarded as an explanation to Sizhen and the officials who died that day.
In this way, whether the Ding clan supports the family or the four chastities, they all feel that the national security is clear and upright, and the situation in Guilin has strangely fallen into a state of glue and harmony.
At the same time, Dai Liangchen began to get busy, after all, it was a rare dignity for his family to have a chrysanthemum banquet with the presence of He Shuogege. The wives and ladies of the dignitaries in Guilin are proud to be able to get an invitation to the Dai family at this time, and the banquet is dominated by officials, and this chrysanthemum banquet is the best place for them to have a good relationship with Kong Sizhen, the real master of the Ding Domain.
Not to mention anything else, that is, Sizhen will not return to Guilin, and will come to the capital in the future, and with the handkerchief love, he can also use this to get to know the dignitaries of the capital, so as to seek a promotion for his husband, or find a son-in-law of a high-ranking official, which is easier than other ways.
Near the expensive is expensive, near the rich is rich, these people deeply understand this truth.
They naturally flocked to this chrysanthemum feast.
Not only did the officials and wealthy businessmen in Guilin want to get the invitation to the chrysanthemum banquet, but even the relatives of the Dai family heard about it and came to the door one after another to get a piece of the pie.
Close, such as Mrs. Dai's maiden family, Dai Liangchen's brothers, several married aunts, Dai family's relatives, and those who do not have a house in Guilin City, Dai Liangchen must arrange to live in his own house. Those who are more distant will be arranged to be in the Zhuangzi outside the city, serving delicious food and drink, just waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival to politely take over.
As the most promising man of the Dai family's generation, Dai Liangchen understands very well the truth of a good man and three gangs, and the relatives in the family have to rely on him to help, so he doesn't need these relatives to carry a sedan chair.
Like his two flower-like nieces, fifteen-year-old Dai Yue'e and fourteen-year-old Dai Yuejuan, if they enter the eyes of any noble person at this family banquet, for the Dai family, there will be two more in-laws who are very helpful.
He found out that the son of Lord Qinchadu is sixteen years old this year, and he has not yet been engaged.
Therefore, the Dai family attaches great importance to this chrysanthemum banquet, and these two nieces were left in the house by Dai Liangchen, and his wife personally prepared clothes for them.
Before inviting Sizhen, Dai Liangchen expected that she would give herself this dignity, and had already started to hold a chrysanthemum banquet in Zhang Luo, and his wife was even more busy with her feet on the ground, and the couple discussed the invitation to send, what kind of banquet to send, how many meat dishes and how many vegetarian dishes, what kind of porcelain to use, with a fruit bowl like a gel, what kind of wine to drink, who to sit with whom, who will receive the male guests who come to the banquet, and who will accompany the female guests...... Big and small things, you have to worry about it in place.
Even the maids, mothers-in-law, and servants in the house were all carefully divided into groups of eight people, a group of sixteen people, so as not to make mistakes and be embarrassed.
These things, in addition to Dai Liangchen and his wife are very busy, the eldest daughter of the Dai family, Dai Yuechan will also help on the side, as a coat of clothing, she is two months older than Sizhen, she often played with Sizhen when she was young, and she was Sizhen's hair, because this time Sizhen returned to Guilin City, many things happened in a row, and she and Sizhen have not had the opportunity to meet.
was small back then, and now she is the current dynasty and Shuogege, the daughter of the queen mother...... Dai Yuechan, who was after the ceremony, was deeply aware of the growing difference between Sizhen and her identity, and she was not melancholy, but she knew very well that as her father said, if she could get the support of this childhood friend, for their family, they would enjoy endless benefits.
At this chrysanthemum banquet, her main task is to be Sizhen's companion, greet her well, and return happy.
Dai Yuechan, who was a little nervous in her heart, was looking forward to this.
**
The thrush opened the cage and laid out a set of clothes for Sizhen to choose.
Sizhen didn't care about these at all, and let the thrush take a set and replace it for herself tomorrow.
Thrush disagreed, she muttered: "Those ladies and young ladies have eyes that are more poisonous than beetails, if Gege is not dressed properly, it is inevitable that they will think too much, and guess whether you are unsatisfactory in the capital, and you are not a saint...... In that case, the husband, father and brother who passed it on to them may have some other thoughts, Gege can't be taken lightly, now it's not as good as the family, everything in Guilin City has to be careful, the slave knows that no matter what Gege wears, he is born with style, but we can add icing on the cake. ”
Sizhen was afraid that she would be verbose again, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, you bring it to me to try, which one you like, I will wear it tomorrow, so it's okay." ”
When Thrush invited Sun Yanling over, she knew that her big girl had already been subdued.
Although Sizhen blushed and knocked on the thrush's head: "He is not your uncle yet, just facing him, who is your master?" But in the end, she didn't say that she wouldn't let Sun Yanling come here for her details.
Thrush breathed a sigh of relief, Gege has reached the end of the line, if nothing else, she will soon be able to marry her uncle, but she looks at Gege's appearance, she is always lukewarm to her uncle, like this, not to mention the love between husband and wife after marriage, that is, right now, Gege will return to the capital in a few days, and his uncle will stay in Guilin City.
As a palace maid who has been in the palace for a few years, Thrush knows that if she wants to hold Sun Yanling's heart, she must help her family.
Sizhen's clothes are all woven by the royal tribute in the palace, and the pieces are cut and fitted, outlining her slender waist "qiaotun" gracefully and slenderly.
In the end, three sets of flag outfits were selected: a set of water red gold thread Suzhou embroidered phoenix pattern, a set of silver yarn rolling red gold border Hunan embroidery twig pattern, and a set of begonia red Suzhou embroidery auspicious Ruyi pattern.
Sun Yanling liked these sets very much, saying that Sizhen wore them on his body, raised his hands and feet, and let Sizhen pick a set in it.
Mainly in the past few years, Sizhen was filial piety, all of them were plain clothes, he rarely saw Sizhen wearing bright colors, and now when he sees these charming and bright, he feels that he is just neutralizing the heroic spirit on Sizhen.
"The third prince sent some gems and jewelry, do you see if there is a suitable one? I remember that there was a white jade ruby inlaid with a double knot wishful hairpin, the color was transparent and joyful, and it was just right to match this set of silver yarn. Sizhen smiled and asked the thrush to take out the jewelry.
The rubies the size of the fingernails are inlaid on the white jade, coiled into a double knot, and are held in the palms of Sizhen's white as fat, and the few crystalline and pure blood-colored gems are shining, reflecting in the black eyes of Sizhen, as if even the eyes have a charming color.
Sun Yanling looked at the things, took it with a smile and said: "This third son, she has a good eye for picking women and choosing jewelry, but it's just ......" He threw the hairpin back into the jewelry box, closed it again, and snorted coldly: "You are not suitable for wearing these things, keep them for reward." ”
"It's too rewarding for something like this, isn't it?" Sizhen didn't notice his face, and said casually: "You know that our women's family, as long as you attend a banquet, you have to change what you wear and wear, otherwise those with sharp eyes will talk about it, but I don't have much jewelry with me when I'm out of the house, and if I don't use these jewelry, it's not enough for me to bring those to change." ”
"Among those gifts I gave you the day before yesterday, there was a box of jewelry, don't you like any of them? In short, you can't bring the jewelry he gave you, lest he have some thoughts that he shouldn't have. If you want to bring it, you can only bring it with me. Sun Yanling said dryly.
Sizhen came back to his senses and was jealous, thinking that if he told Sun Yanling that she hadn't taken care of those things yet, she was afraid that he would be even more annoyed, so she coaxed him and said: "Don't you say, I still want to bring these jewelry from my family, which means that I don't mind that incident, so that their father and son will sincerely ask for guilt when they see me, which makes me feel weird and uncomfortable." But listening to you say this, it's really not good to bring it to his family, so as not to have a misunderstanding, thrush, go and bring the box of jewelry sent by Sun Shenling. ”
