Chapter 290: A Chance Encounter
Yongzheng three years, four years. Yinzhen controlled the flood and built water conservancy camps, divided by the imperial power. By the beginning of this year, the situation in the imperial court was very good. So Yinzhen set his sights on the land of the imperial city. Seeing that this season was bright and sunny in spring and a hundred flowers were blooming, I was moved by Youxing, but it has not been officially determined.
One day, he occasionally listened to the dialogue between Huizhu's mother and son, and Hongli talked eloquently: "Du Fu's "Beauty Walk" said 'March 3rd weather new Chang'an waterside Duoli'. There are two days to the third day of the first day, although the capital is not Chang'an, but it will be as in the poem. He also regretted: "At that time, there are many beauties in the market, and the market is also prosperous, but it's a pity that Eniang is in the harem, and it is difficult to see the beauty of spring." Huizhu heard Hongli's description, and couldn't help but yearn for it, and there were a few expressions on her face.
Yinzhen listened to it in his ears and remembered it in his heart, and after Hongli left, he said to Huizhu: "The day after tomorrow, there is nothing to do, you go out of the palace with me." Well, if Pauline is happy, you can take her with you. Huizhu was overjoyed, and she was busy responding to Yinzhen's words.
On the third day of the third month of March, Huizhu's mother and daughter wore a new jacket and followed Yinzhen out of the garden in a carriage. All the way. As Hongli said, it was noon, and it was also bustling and lively. The mother and daughter talked and laughed through the curtains. It was elated to watch.
The carriage gradually marched into the downtown area, stopping at a two-story restaurant, Huizhu helped Xiaojuan's men get out of the carriage, stopped to look around, and saw the surrounding shops lined up. Pedestrians are all dressed in silk and satin, slaves, and then they have been shopping in the market for many years, and they don't know that there are so many rich and noble families in recent years.
Xiao Luzi looked at Huizhu's expression and said with a smile; "This place is Di'anmen Street, where Jiangnan businessmen and Sichuan and Shaanxi high-rollers gather. Therefore, the shops here are much stronger than those in other places, and when the fire is lit after noon, the lady and the girl can also pick some juggling things when they go to the shops. ”
Huizhu glanced at Yinzhen who was walking in front, pulled Baolian and bit her ear and said, "This is what you Ama meant, what to say, figure it out yourself." Baolian turned her head and thought for a while, rubbed a few times and ran to Yinzhen, grabbed the corner of his clothes, looked up and smiled: "Ama is so good, take Eniang and Bao'er to go shopping, Bao'er likes Ama the most." With that, he immediately ran back behind Huizhu, showing his little face timidly.
A smile flashed in Yinzhen's eyes, coughed slightly, and pointed to a screen engraved with "Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum" behind the four gentlemen; "That's where we eat." Hearing this, Baolian looked disappointed, Huizhu shook her head, took her hand, and followed Yinzhen into the compartment behind the screen to sit down, ready to have lunch.
For a while, the dishes have five flavors, a family of three has eaten seven points full, and seeing the restaurant gradually feel like a cloud, I can't help but feel that the voices of people are complicated, and I want to leave, but after listening to the screen across the door, someone said: "The biological is different, eight ...... Both father and son were cut off their clan names and changed their animal names, but this one who was succeeded not only had his clan name cut off, but also handed over to the twelve masters to be relegated and restrained, so I think there will be a good ...... in the future."
Before the man could finish speaking, the other man said in a false voice: "What is it! Who is the current superior, we don't know. The minister who borrowed the money from the imperial court was forced to ruin his family. The brothers who broke the bones and connected the tendons didn't give half a face, what do you say the parents and children can please. The previous man chimed in: "That's what you said, the successor, I saw you in the theater last night." Tsk, you don't know, he was simply drunk and dreamed to death, and pulled a handmaid who looked quite good, and he was going to eat it in his mouth. As for the Adou who can't be supported, what else can he hope for. ”
The other sighed, "Don't mention this person, you won't get into any trouble...... Let's go, how do we brothers say that they are also people from the Three Banners, we have to find a way to live, I don't have any spare money in my hands and go to the household department, and I don't have a noble Lao Tzu like that person, alas! With that, the two sighed for a long time, took the food money and left.
A cold light flashed in Yin Zhen's eyes, and the imperial guards standing behind him immediately understood and followed the two to leave. Seeing this, Xiao's words angered Yinzhen, and seeing that the atmosphere in the compartment was depressed, she was about to say a few words of relief, but she saw Yinzhen's hands clenched on the table, and his face sank like water: "I ordered Yunyi to discipline Hongshi, and he did it like this, letting Hongshi do anything outside!" Xiao Luzi and his entourage of seven were all terrified, and they all knelt on the ground.
Baolian was also frightened, scared to her mother's side, Huizhu coaxed comfortingly for a while, her eyes swept over the people who were clinging to the ground, Fang covered the back of Yinzhen's tense hands, and said softly: "Hongshi is already twenty-four years old, words and deeds can not be restrained overnight, and the emperor does not need to be angry about this." After finishing the sentence, I looked at it and saw that Yinzhen's face was gloomy and unchanged, and after thinking about it for a while, I knew that the reason for Yinzhen's real displeasure was that the two people were mean to him. Thinking about the fate of Yun Zhen and Yun Yu, she also felt that it was too much, but Yinzhen severely punished corruption and attached importance to the money and food of the household department, but it was for the country and the people.
If so, Huizhu thought about it like this, and then persuaded: "Just came, according to the concubines, they should have borrowed money from the court, and now they can't return after being recovered, and they have anger in their hearts, so they slander the emperor." As he spoke, he felt a slight tremor under his palms, and said with a deeper smile: "At the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, the treasury was empty, and after four years of accumulation, it got better. And in order to save expenses, the emperor has never had a large-scale trip, even the Mulan ball macaque has also been canceled. The emperor set an example only for the sake of the people, and the people of the world have their own judgments, so why should they believe the words of the young people? ”
Yinzhen's face improved, she retorted to Huizhu's hand, patted her comfortingly, and said: "I've been delayed here for a while, and then I'm going to visit some shops, and then I'll go to the suburbs to see the 'Spring Moon', so let's go."
Huizhu responded softly, secretly glanced at Xiao Luzi, and motioned for them to get up.
Coming out of the restaurant, the sunshine outside was the fullest, Xiaojuan was busy holding up an umbrella for Huizhu, Yinzhen looked at her, and said unhappily: "There are a lot of entourages on this trip, and you are still wearing an umbrella to shade the sun in spring, leading passers-by to look sideways." Huizhu smiled innocently, looked at him and said: "The concubine is no longer a twenty-eight beauty, and she can't be exposed to the sun, otherwise there will be brown markings on her face." Hearing this, Yinzhen stared at Huizhu's white and delicate pink cheeks for a while, and said no more.
Walking to a single-eaves heavy floor shop, Xiao Luzi bowed down and said: "The things in this shop are complete, although they are not as good as what Mrs. is used to, but they can also be seen fresh." Huizhu stopped to look, and saw that it was a single-eaves heavy floor type paved house, its watchtower was meticulous, and the painting was novel, so she nodded in agreement.
Leaving the guards outside, Yinzhen Huizhu's mother and daughter, and Xiaoluzi, Xiaojuan and a group of five people entered the shopkeeper in Neipuli to see their expensive clothes and decorations, and their bearing was noble, knowing that they were big customers, they hurriedly recruited Xiao Er to come over, and served them with tea and water.
Yinzhen and Huizhu each took a sip of tea, the situation was slightly lame, and they put it down and stopped drinking. The shopkeeper introduced the goods in the shop, and secretly observed his words and looks, seeing them like this, he couldn't help but be cautious, this tea is the best Pu'er, but they seem to dislike it, and drink it better regularly.
After secretly thinking about it in his heart, the shopkeeper said more respectfully: "Ordinary things must not be in the eyes of the lady and the girl, so it is better to take some of the best in the store from the small one and present it to the lady." Huizhu wanted to blurt out, but seeing that her daughter's eyes seemed to be glued to the counter, she swallowed back and said, "The shopkeeper will take it out first, and my master will help pick it." He turned his head to look at Yinzhen and said, "Master, the concubine took her daughter to the counter to have a look, okay?" Yin Zhen looked around the store and saw that there was no hidden worries, so he nodded and agreed.
This shop is very large, the area is similar to the main hall of Gyeongin Palace, the inside of the shop is to entertain guests to rest, and the outside is full of counters, and each counter is placed with different objects; At a rough look, the gold, silver and jade ornaments, rouge jade paste, and small pieces of female red.
The mother and daughter were not very interested in decorating rouge, so they walked to a counter at the entrance and looked at the small female red pieces on it. I saw that the red carpet was full of various objects, although the needlework was not as meticulous as in the palace, but it was better than the novelty of the style, a wide variety, not to mention all kinds of sachets, there were Xilan'er chasing flowers, key bags, and pillow tops, buckles, and fans
Xiaojuan smacked her tongue and said: "There are so many types, even the bride has to embroider the hair oil pad by hand when she gets married, it's really" Huizhu sneered: "What is it?" Less shallow in this eyelid. However, this merchant will do business, and the Manchurian girl is not good at embroidery, if there is a hair oil pad, the edge of the account to buy, it is a lot cheaper. ”
Saying that, Huizhu stretched out his hand and picked up a light blue embroidered lotus pendant with three clusters of velvet tassels in his hand, Xiao Er immediately smiled and said: "Madame's good eye, the lotus on this is also known as the hibiscus flower, which means glory and wealth, and the clothes are full of boxes, but it is auspicious and pleasing." Huizhu didn't say anything, then pinched the decorative key and compared it to Baolian, and asked, "But you like it?" ”
When he was talking, a master and a servant, two Shaohua women, and a grandmother forty miles away, a total of three people hurriedly came into the shop, causing Huizhu to put down the key bag in his hand, and when he looked up, he saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in yellow surrounded by two subordinates, the girl had a silver plate face, and her facial features were only delicate, but she had a pair of eyes that were calm like a clear spring, and her cheeks were bright with small dimples, which inexplicably gave people a sense of closeness.
This Huizhu was still looking at the girl, the girl in yellow had already recognized Huizhu at a glance, exclaimed the word "Xi", hurriedly covered her mouth, stared at Huizhu in shock, stunned on the spot, half a sound, Fang returned to the province under the light call of the grandmother, and secretly set her mind, and then she walked to Huizhu generously, and said: "Madam, the little girl Fucha, the younger brother is the only son of the lady." ”
(Yesterday's last chapter, everyone didn't like it very much, Goo~~Goo~~B (╯_╰), but I think Huizhu is "homesick and timid", so it's like this.) Goo~~Goo~~(╯_╰)b, or ask for a ticket to subscribe, thank you)
