Chapter 114: Liyuan Spring Sixteen
The next day, Chai Rong entered the palace with Ping'an to meet Emperor Guo Wei and Empress Chai Shi, as well as his two cousins, the prince and several princess cousins. Guo Wei was very kind to Ping'an, but Queen Chai was a little displeased because of Ping'an's background, but she still accepted Ping'an in Chai Rong's face. Ping'an grew up in an opera troupe since he was a child, and he is very good at reading people's eyes, seeing people and talking to people, and soon chatted with Queen Chai, which made Queen Chai like her.
Those cousins and cousins get along better, after all, they have just become princes and princesses, and they have not yet developed the domineering and squeamish spirit of the royal family. These little ones worship Chai Rong as the eldest brother, and Ping An as their sister-in-law naturally wins their respect and love.
Although there is no previous memory, after all, she was a princess in another life, and she has residual memories in her bones, and she soon entered the role of the princess, arranged the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner, and never showed timidity when she went out to socialize with other noble ladies, which made people put away their thoughts about looking down on her.
Ping An met her sister-in-law when she was communicating, and her sister-in-law's face was not very good, and it was said that something happened to her mother's family. Back at the palace, Chai Rong handed the information he found to Ping An to see, and Ping An knew what had happened to the original family.
Ping'an's father was an official of the Later Han Dynasty, and he was on the side of Emperor Yin of the Han Dynasty, and he didn't deal with Guo Wei. Of course, this is not the main reason why Sister Yan is sad, the main reason is that Mother Ma's mother was almost divorced by her father.
It turned out that the father's son was unlucky, and the mother-in-law gave birth to two daughters, and the concubine's mother gave birth to a daughter not long after giving birth to Ping'an, which made the father, who had no son, worried. Finally six years ago, the concubine gave birth to a son, and her father was so happy that he was spoiled like a jewel, which made her mother feel uncomfortable again. She doesn't have a son, so why can a concubine who climbs the bed have a son? When the son grows up, inherits the family business, and only recognizes his own mother, won't he drive her, his mother-in-law, out of the house?
The mother-in-law's evil thoughts resurfaced, and she stole her son out of the house and threw it to the traffickers. The son is not valued like Ping'an, and after the son was lost, the father immediately asked people to find and investigate. It's a pity that the son didn't find it, and only found the mother-in-law's head. Now my father was so angry that he wanted to divorce his wife directly. There are still some forces in my mother's family, and in the end, my wife did not cultivate, but my mother was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall by her father, and I don't want to think of it in this life.
And what the grandmother did can't be covered up at all, everyone knows that the grandmother harmed the concubine, the mother's reputation has fallen to the bottom, and the sister-in-law's reputation is naturally implicated as the biological daughter of the mother-in-law, and her husband's family is now very protective of her, afraid that she will learn from her mother and harm the children of her husband's family. It's no wonder that Sister Chang can be happy like this.
Ping An has nothing to do with his sister and his father, he only cares about the younger brother who has the same fate as himself, and hurriedly said to Chai Rong: "Xianggong, you can send more people to help me find my younger brother." ”
Chai Rong said: "Don't worry, I've already asked people to find it." Your brother was stolen out of the house last year, and it hasn't been long since then, and the clues haven't been completely broken, so you should be able to find him. ”
Ping'an said: "Send people back to that house after they find them, and count me as repaying their fertility grace." ”
Chai Rong: "Okay. ”
With Chai Rong, the prince, making a move, Ping'an's brother was finally found. The poor child was sold to others as a small servant, and he suffered a lot, and when he was found, he lost more than ten pounds, and he was so haggard that he couldn't do it. When the person was sent to his father, his father was so distressed that his tears were about to fall out.
However, this experience is very good for the child, the originally pampered child is more sensible, becomes diligent and motivated, and reads hard, so that the father is happy and satisfied. According to his son's progressive method, the future is promising.
Ping An hasn't seen Liu Banyue for a while. After coming to the capital, Liu Banyue stayed in the palace and did not go out because she was not familiar with the place. Ping'an was afraid that he would get sick, so he found a person who was articulate and familiar with the capital to accompany Liu Banyue and take Liu Banyue to play around. However, although Liu Banyue is out playing, she will still come back in the evening to accompany her daughter and son-in-law to have dinner together. However, in the past half a month, Liu Banyue went out early and returned late, and her face didn't come to dinner at night, so she couldn't help but worry about Ping'an, and called the servants who served in Liu Banyue's yard to ask them about Liu Banyue's whereabouts. However, the subordinates could not give an answer. Ping An can only wait in Liu Banyue's courtyard, and ask in person when he returns.
When the curfew was about to begin, Liu Banyue really came back with the moonlight, and Liu Banyue was startled when she saw the peace sitting in the courtyard.
"Ping, why don't you rest so late?"
"I'm waiting for you." Ping'an stood up, walked to Liu Banyue's side, took his arm, and took Liu Banyue to the house, "Dad, why did you come back so late?" Have you eaten dinner? ”
Liu Banyue hurriedly said: "Eat, eat." ”
Ping An asked, "Dad, what have you been busy with lately?" Why do you always leave early and return late? ”
Liu Banyue's body froze when she heard this, and she said cautiously: "Peace, my father wants to move out of the palace." ”
"Moving out of the palace?" Liu Banyue was surprised, "Dad, why did you move out of the palace?" Is it that someone has neglected you and made you angry, you say, I will clean them up for you. ”
"No, no." Liu Banyue hurriedly stopped Ping'an, "No one neglects me, it's just that your father and I have been busy since I was a child, and I really can't adapt to the life of an old lady now." ”
Ping An blinked her eyes, she didn't understand Liu Banyue's mind very well, but she felt that she should be considerate of her father.
Liu Banyue continued: "That, my father can't let go of his singing life for half his life, so he bought an opera troupe. ”
At the beginning, 8,000 taels of silver, 6,000 taels were given to the people of the Qingxi class, and the remaining 2,000 taels were originally used to buy a dowry for Ping'an. But nowadays, things are really cheap, and it only cost a thousand taels of silver to buy a dowry that is not a bandit, and the remaining 1,000 taels are safe for Liu Banyue to put away and let him spend it. Therefore, Liu Banzhu is not short of money.
Peace: "......"
His father's feelings for the singing industry are really deep, and he should support him as a daughter.
I only heard Liu Banyue say again: "Dad knows that the drama is looked down upon, don't worry, Dad only does it behind the scenes, does not take the lead, and will definitely not be looked down upon." ”
Ping'an took her father and sat down on the couch, and said, "Dad, my daughter won't care about other people's opinions." The daughter only cares about her father. Your daughter supports you, so you can do whatever you want. But even if you buy a troupe, you don't have to move out of the palace. ”
Liu Banyue was moved by her daughter's support, patted the back of her hand and said: "Dad wants to train them to sing new operas, they are busy every day, they go out early and return late, it's better to move out." ”
