Chapter 8 Zhuang Xianren
Su Wenmei, who had just left the Chonghua Palace, joked: "That boy is a little wooden, and he was stunned when he saw the young lady." ”
Su Wenmei remembered that when he was close to her, she looked a little embarrassed, and couldn't help laughing: "It's a little cute." ”
Zhuang Xianren's wedding dress was smashed down with real money, so he put a lot of effort into it. The style of the clothes designed is also extremely beautiful, with gold trim on the cuffs and belt, and the auspicious cloud pattern on the arms is embellished with pearls and diamonds. Just a sample made of ordinary clothing is pleasing to the eye.
Zhuang Xianren was very satisfied with the sample of the wedding dress brought by Su Wenmei, so it was finalized, and dozens of people from the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop were asked to rush to work and make it before the fifteenth day of next month.
This Cheng Qian has new troubles.
Since that day, when Li Huayuan fell in love at first sight, he felt that his heart was tied to her, and his dreams were all about her cold and charming face.
And that night in the Full Moon Tower, her panic.
He even regretted agreeing to his mother's marriage. But the Son of Heaven is full of words, where is the reason for repentance.
Cheng Qian was sitting cross-legged on the dragon chair, supporting his head with one hand, absentmindedly playing with a pear blossom. When Xiao Lizi saw it, he couldn't help but say: "Lord of Heaven, as the saying goes, the mountains don't turn around, and if she doesn't come to the palace, can't you go out of the palace to see her?" ”
"yes!" His eyes lit up instantly, but in an instant they darkened again: "But, in what capacity am I going?" Lin Mozhi? ”
"The Son of Heaven can use Lin Mozhi's identity to take a look, if Miss Su has no intention, the Son of Heaven will die."
"What if she wants to?"
"Wouldn't that be better? If she is interested, find an opportunity to identify herself with her, and take her as a concubine? Whoever the emperor likes, who he will spoil in the future, isn't it good? ”
Cheng Qian smiled and knocked Xiao Lizi's head with the flower branch in his hand. If you want to go, you'll have to find a good excuse.
The Gu family's ready-to-wear shop rushed to make new clothes, and then asked the Ben Er to send them to the palace, and someone dressed as a small maid sent Lin Mozhi's letter.
Lin Mozhi said that the grandmother in the family was 60 years old and needed to make new clothes, and Miss Yosu met at the Tianjing Teahouse three days later and asked to make clothes.
is a filial one, Su Wenmei couldn't help laughing.
"Miss Su, I'm afraid that this drunkard doesn't mean to drink." Bing'er smiled: "That day in the Chonghua Palace, he lost his mind at the young lady. Nine times out of ten, he is interesting to you. Otherwise, when you go to the Gujia Garment Shop, you will have good clothes at every finger, where do you need to make an appointment to go in person? ”
For the elders, the heart is always the most important. Su Wenmei smiled and said nothing, and handed the letter back to the little girl: "You go back and say that I wrote it down." ”
Even if the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, this excuse for him to ask himself can't make people find a flaw.
First, making clothes is the strength of the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop, and Su Wenmei is the person in charge here; Second, his actions showed filial piety, and people couldn't find a reason to refuse.
She couldn't help but smile when she thought of the man who was a little wooden and yelled at her. It just so happens that the wedding dress is busy these days, and I have time to go to the appointment. If it was placed a few days ago, when the entire Gu family's ready-to-wear shop was busy, he would not have time to pay attention to him.
On the day of the appointment, the weather was overcast and it looked like it was going to rain.
Cheng Qian was about to leave the main hall, and the Zhongshu ordered Lord Mo to come to ask for a meeting for disaster relief in the southwest. Lord Mo's daughter is also one of the women who have recently been crowned concubines.
When Xiao Lizi passed the pass, Cheng Qian had just finished approving the folds and was about to change into regular clothes: "You tell him that I have an urgent matter today, and I can't talk to him in detail, either wait for me to come back, or wait for tomorrow!" ”
"Your Majesty!" The old minister shouted outside, and Cheng Qian only felt that his ears were about to explode.
"Your Majesty, there was a riot in the southwest disaster relief, and the officials suppressed it to no avail, so please ask the emperor to decide!"
The rain fell down, and as soon as Cheng Qian went out, he was blocked by the Zhongshu Ling who was kneeling at the door. The Chinese book makes the speech babble without a point, just like the excerpts played on weekdays, with a lot of content, but the important things can be explained clearly in a few sentences. He was stunned to talk about the riots in the southwest for two hours!
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was already dark after dealing with political affairs.
Su Wenmei waited from day to night in the private room he booked. She sat in a chair, one hand on her cheek, the tip of the other hand tapping on the table, looking at the rain outside the window in a daze, more and more disappointed.
It was already inappropriate for an unmarried woman to meet a man, who was three hours late. What kind of thing can make a man three hours late?
It's just that I don't pay enough attention to the agreement with the woman.
"Miss Su!" She turned her head sideways and saw the purple-clothed young man holding an umbrella with an anxious face: "Miss Su, I'm sorry, I'm delayed in my troubles, and I'm still ......."
"Lin Gongzi doesn't need to say it." She stood up slowly and saluted him slightly: "It's night, go home early, so as not to worry your family, and others will gossip when they see it." For some reason, he was so late, she still wanted to wait until he came, but when he did come, she was sad and disappointed because he was late, and wanted to escape.
Cheng Qian clearly saw sadness in her expression.
It's a cold look again!
She walked past him, and he tried to reach out to pull her, but his hand stopped in mid-air. Three hours late today, she must be disappointed in herself, right?
Now no matter what you say, it won't help.
She slowly walked away with an umbrella, Cheng Qian only felt heartache, and looked at her back with a little more loneliness.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Lizi stepped forward to hold an umbrella: "It's not too early, I have to go to the queen to say hello at night!" ”
"Let's go." He waved his hand helplessly and walked back. As the emperor's heir, he has always been pampered, a few days ago in the Full Moon Building, she was stabbed by a hairpin, not to mention, today he received such a cold reception.
In fact, it's no wonder that she's always his own fault. Cheng Qian was not angry at all, but he was really sad, he only felt that his breath was holding in his chest, and he was sullen.
Su Wenmei returned to Gu's mansion, but saw Gu Changlin standing at the door from a distance: "It rained heavily today, where did you go?" ”
"I went to talk to a customer about a business, but the man was late for the rain." She smiled at him, pretending to rub her frozen hands lightly, but there were faint tears in her drooping eyes. Ben Er followed her and put away her umbrella as she entered the door.
"Don't come back so late in the future, my mother will be worried." He said and walked through the door.
Su Wenmei was stunned for a moment: "Alas! "It's a yes.
......
"What? Yesterday the emperor left the palace? Or go meet that slut? Zhuang Xianren's hand pinched the stool fiercely, his knuckles were white, she and the daughters of several other ministers had been learning posture in the palace for almost a month, and the emperor had sat with the queen for a while except for the day they first entered the palace, but he never came to see it again: "When did she hook up with the emperor?" ”
"Miss Zhuang!" The palace maid standing beside her knelt down tremblingly: "That day in the pear garden, the slave maid saw her talking and laughing with a man. At that time, the emperor was wearing regular clothes, and the slaves and maids didn't know the emperor at that time, so they didn't know that it was the emperor, but it was just a prince passing by. Until today, the emperor led a large group of people passing by Dexian Palace, and the slave maid watched from a distance and remembered that it was the emperor who was chatting with Miss Su in the pear garden that day. ”
Zhuang Xianren's eyes stared at the kneeling palace maid, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.
Su Wenmei was drenched in some rain last night and caught a cold, but the next day she went to the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop as usual like a normal person. For the first time, General Gu also followed him to the Gu family's ready-to-wear shop.
Zhuang Xianren reported sick leave to Mama Jiaoyin in the afternoon, and hurriedly took the two maidservants out of the palace.
"Is the Gu family in charge? Please come out! Su Wenmei was in the shop when she heard someone shouting from a distance, and frowned in displeasure.
It's Zhuang Xianren, Su Wenmei thought: But what's wrong with the wedding dress?
Su Wenmei thought about it, so she hurriedly went out and saluted Zhuang Xianren: "Miss Zhuang." She looked up at her, "But what's wrong with the wedding dress?" ”
Su Wenmei was wearing a goose-yellow spring shirt at the moment, wrapped in light makeup, which formed a strong contrast with Zhuang Xianren's heavy makeup.
"The wedding dress is fine, but you have a problem!" Zhuang Xianren did not shy away from saying to her: "What a great ability! After only a short time of entering the palace that day, the emperor's soul was hooked. ”
Su Wenmei frowned, not knowing why: "Heh! What is Miss Zhuang talking about? ”
The sage Zhuang approached her: "Miss Su, don't you know that the person who met you last night is the emperor, right?" ”
Su Wenmei only felt ridiculous: "I'm afraid that Miss Zhuang is mistaken, last night it was Lin Gongzi from the Hanlin Academy who came to me and asked me to order clothes for his grandmother's 60th birthday, not the emperor." Next time Miss Zhuang wants to ask the teacher for guilt, she will come back after figuring it out! ”
And what about that day in the pear garden? What do you say? Concubine Xian's attitude softened significantly.
"Pear Garden? The folk girl is in the pear garden, and the only one she meets is Lin Mozhi of the Hanlin Academy? ! ”
Zhuang Xianren looked at the maidservant beside him.
"No, Miss Zhuang!" She knelt down towards Zhuang Xianren: "The slave saw it really well that day, that day in the pear garden, it was clearly the emperor who talked to Miss Su!" The slave didn't lie! ”
Zhuang Xianren walked over to Su Wenmei step by step: "Miss Su, do you still want to deny it now?" Miss Ben will marry the emperor next month, Miss Su is so ambitious, do you want to find a position for herself? ”
"Miss Zhuang." Su Wenmei said: "Since Miss Zhuang knows that she will marry the emperor next month, she must remember to be cautious in her words and deeds. She is neither humble nor arrogant: "It's Miss Zhuang's, and others can't snatch it away no matter what; If it weren't for Miss Zhuang, what was the use of you threatening the people's girls today? ”
"You! You seduce, slut embryo! That Zhuang Xianren couldn't say that she couldn't do it, so he raised his hand to hit her, but before Su Wenmei moved, Zhuang Xianren was firmly grabbed by General Gu's wrist.
General Gu: "Enough! Miss Zhuang, please pay attention to your identity, which can be regarded as saving the face of the royal family and the Zhuang Mansion! ”
Su Wenmei was a little surprised, don't look at General Gu's usual lukewarmness, he still treats her as a Gu family member at the critical moment, and still protects her.
Zhuang Xianren couldn't bargain, so he glanced at Su Wenmei fiercely: "Let's go!" ”
Zhuang Xianren left, but Su Wenmei's heart couldn't calm down for a long time: He is the emperor? When we met for the first time, he was a dumb and somewhat wooden look, how could he be the emperor?!
"General Gu! Oh no! A maid hurriedly ran over: "General Gu! The old lady is sick!
