Chapter Eighty-Four: The First Confrontation in King Ping's Mansion
Behind the four carved silk Liuyun Baifu screens, the carved window lattices against the courtyard were wide open, and the bean green glazed garlic bottles were placed on the windows, fed with water, and raised a white pear. Under the window is a soft couch with Xiang Fei, two ends are small few, with melon and fruit snacks and tea, and there is a graceful girl crooked on the soft couch.
"Girl, this is tea made from hawthorn leaves and pear blossoms, and try it?" Yang Liu saw Tang Yue's lazy appearance, and couldn't help but persuade her to get up and drink tea.
Tang Yue tilted his head and frowned, his face was red, Banxia brought a bowl of sour plum soup into the door, seeing Tang Yue like this, he hurriedly handed the sour plum soup to Yang Liu, and took a fan to hold the wind for her, and the cool breeze entered the body, Tang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did Imperial Physician Gao say how long I want to quit ice?" Tang Yue asked a little aggrieved, and since the fight gradually became hot, Imperial Physician Gao personally instructed that the fruits and sour plum soup that I eat can only be chilled with well water, and I must not use ice!
She can't stand the heat, but now it's okay, and the clothes are light, so how can it be good if it is summer in the future?
"You didn't say anything about it before, and you violated it. Doctor Gao was very angry and said that he wanted you to quit for at least three years. Banxia opened his mouth, and a few of them couldn't twist the girl, alas, they were all tears.
Tang Yue's head almost hit the small table, three years ...... Isn't that going to cost her life?
"Is there a discussion?" Tang Yue looked decadent, quitting ice for three years, so how would she spend the summer?
"Nope. Yang Liu looked helpless.
Tang Yue pouted, and at this time, the wind chimes came in, and asked with a smile, "The girl has a good thing today, do you want to hear it?"
"Huh?" Tang Yue raised her head, her eyebrows and eyes were sleepy, this spring day was very warm, she was dizzy, and she wanted to sleep.
"The aunt in the Pingwang Mansion wants to give it in the palm of her hand. Feng Chime said indifferently, you must know that when King Ping left, he originally wanted to hand over the feed to Tang Yue, but later Tang Yue felt that this matter was not very good, and the name was not right, so he told King Ping to tell the eldest princess about it.
Now the middle feed of the Pingwang Mansion is a grandmother next to the eldest princess, but it is not clear if others know it.
Tang Yue immediately sat up when she heard this, "What did she do?"
"I don't know. "Wind Chimes shrugged" Hideichi told me about it, saying that I would like to ask you for an idea. β
"What about that concubine?" Tang Yue asked, she didn't know what that name was.
"You say that the second son, Bai Jin?" Feng Chime thought about it, and shook his head, "That one wants to find a master." β
Master...... Tang Yue's mind turned, "What about the big brother?" Didn't Bai Li hand over this matter to the big brother before?
"It's rare, you still remember my big brother!" Behind the screen, the man's voice was clear, broken gold and jade, with the robe staggering, the man turned the screen, the long body was jade, the green shirt was refined, a folding fan shook the wind, chic and natural, his black eyes fell like stars on Tang Yue, who had scattered sideburns, and raised his eyebrows, "Give you a quarter of an hour, if you want to go to Pingwangfu, you can freshen up within a quarter of an hour." β
Tang Yue, in line with the intention of following his eldest brother to have a good show, immediately drank sour plum soup, and then hurriedly packed himself up and went out with Banxia wind chimes.
The willow was kept to watch the yard.
Yang Liu's temperament is softer, and for outsiders, especially a lone woman who is left alone with her eldest son, her momentum is a little insufficient, and she has to find a Banxia who can roll around in the market and practice a body of literature and martial arts. Wen, can make the other party speechless, martial, well versed in the way of women fighting, tearing clothes, pulling hair, and pinching people.
Today's carriage is Tang Hu instructed Tang Long to personally prepare, I don't know for what purpose, swept away the low-key style of the past, sat in a four-horse snow-white high-headed horse pulled by the green cover beads eight treasure car, tassels and green satin hang down to cover all kinds of carriages, the small windows on both sides are hung with azure soft smoke, tied to eight round pearls the size of pomegranate seeds, carved and decorated with treasures on the outside, and there is another thing inside.
Except for the carriage door, the small windows on both sides, the rest have hidden compartments, and the wonderful thing is that it is not clear where the concealed compartment switch is. The car is covered with a layer of wool cushions, there are a few small windows by the window, four or five pillows are placed, and there are incense wood carved bottles embedded in the small table, and a few fake flowers of the palace yarn pile, soft satin light yarn, one white and one yellow, one gorgeous and one shy, there are half-open peonies, there are love peonies, there are white and dusty, and the color of Yanran. It has a light and pleasant aroma like a real flower, which is most suitable for sniffing when you are in a hurry to sweep away the depression.
The horse's hooves splashed incense, the light veil was like flowing clouds, and the pedestrians began to avoid it from a distance when they saw the carriage.
The Pingwang Mansion is not far from the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, and the horses have already arrived outside the door before they can enjoy themselves.
There was already a housekeeper waiting outside the door, and when he saw that it was the carriage of the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, he immediately came to greet him.
Tang Hu got off the carriage first, the green shirt was down, the jade crown was elegant, a folding fan showed the scholarly spirit, and after saluting the housekeeper, he turned around and helped Tang Yue get out of the carriage.
The outer shirt of goose yellow tulle, the skirt is from white to light yellow, embroidered with a slightly darker thread of the same color into the appearance of a hibiscus flower, and the butterfly is repaired with silver thread, with a cold fragrance, the black hair is pulled into a cloud bun like a fairy, with a carved jade comb, wearing a silver silk to pull the pearl Su Lan distracted, a pair of jade flowers cover the temples, and a white jade amber butterfly flower flower swaying, walking white jade group flower treasure light contains, the butterfly swaying wings to fly, hanging down the silver silk roll amber hanging beads slightly swaying, the sound is pleasant.
"County Lord, Tang Gongzi. The butler stepped forward to salute and led the two inside.
Bai Jin and his aunt were already waiting in the flower hall.
Before you arrive, hear it first.
"Auntie, what kind of master do you say the eldest brother found for me?" sounded a little immature, Tang Yue looked sideways at his brother, huh...... Graceful, elegant, teaching a concubine, it should be more than enough.
"Your eldest brother must have found a predestined master for you, and you must listen to him well. This voice sounded very neutral and decent.
"Aunt Fang, second son. "The housekeeper is in the flower hall.
Immediately, Tang Hu took Tang Yue into the flower hall.
Handsome men and pretty women, jade wall pearls.
At this time, the two of them had a chance to look at Bai Jin, who was only fifteen years old, and Xiao Bai Li was five years old, dressed in luxurious dark purple clothes, although he looked good, but unfortunately his temperament was not good.
Ah, a gentleman.
The poor get rich.
staring at Tang Yue up and down, Tang Hu was quite unhappy.
Tang Yue looked over with interest, but she made eye contact with that Aunt Fang. Unlike what she thought, this Aunt Fang is really a soft and strong person, with some bookish ink on her body, but she has been running around and working hard all the year round, and her skin is not well maintained, and her skin has long been rough and yellow.
"This is Tang Hu, the eldest son of the Dingguo Marquis's family, it is the prince who found a master for the second son, this is Tang Gongzi's sister Changle County Lord, and the prince's fiancΓ©e. The old butler said.
Before the old butler's words fell, Bai Jin shouted first: "Butler, what do you mean by this? How can a son-in-law who doesn't even have a reputation be my master? No matter how you say it, it has to be Tanhualang!" "Is it true that he is an ignorant child? Nine out of ten of the sons of Gyeonggi are all gentlemen! Sure enough, his eldest brother is not as good as his mother said, otherwise how could he find such a person to be his husband? The more Bai Jin thought about it, the more angry he became, his eldest brother was really afraid that he would succeed in his studies and rob this Pingwang Mansion! I also found my future uncle!Heh! Do you want to spy on him?
Tang Hu raised his eyebrows coldly, the flower hall was well lit, the daylight was clear, he glanced at it lightly, but it made people feel cold for no reason, "Oh?" Tang Hu said easily, "Does the second son think that only Tanhualang is worthy of being the second son's husband?"
"That's nature!" Bai Jin looked proud and raised his chin.
Tang Yue only smiled lightly, that Aunt Fang used to say that she respected her teacher or something, but now she is afraid that she is not happy when she sees it, her eldest brother is taller, but he is younger.
"I don't know how much the second son has learned, the four books and the five classics, and he has already started to learn Jinglun Puwen?" Tang Hu has never shown mercy to people other than his own family, especially those who make him unhappy. He has long inquired clearly, this person only knows a few words, not to be blind, as for the four books and five classics, he can only hear it.
Bai Jin's face was flushed and embarrassed.
Tang Yue still felt that it was almost the same, and said, "My brother is studying in Qingshan Academy and studied under Cui Yan. β
Tang Hu's reputation is not obvious, because he has not entered the officialdom of the imperial examination, but no one in Qingshan Academy does not know the astronomy and geography of the Cui family, the grandson of the Cui family, who knows everything about arithmetic and writing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the six arts of the gentleman are even more handy.
No matter how ignorant Aunt Fang is, she knows the name of Qingshan Academy and the name of Cui Yan.
Today, the gentleman who reluctantly agreed to enter the palace to teach.
Keep it and wait to be a master!
"Jin'er, I haven't seen Mr. yet. Aunt Fang's mind turned extremely quickly, and she hurriedly urged Bai Jin to salute.
It's a pity that Tang Hu didn't plan to accept the gift, "Xiao Ke is just entrusted by the prince to come over and learn from the second son for a while, but he can't stand the gift of the second son." β
Aunt Fang couldn't hold it on her face, Bai Jin was ignorant and didn't know what it meant, Tang Hu didn't intend to accept this gift, which was equivalent to not befriending him.
"I have long heard that Aunt Fang has returned home, but because of a lot of family affairs, she was unable to come to visit, and I hope that Aunt Fang will not blame her. Tang Yue diverted from this topic, and the other party's aunt who smiled greeted the salute, she liked to salute first and then soldier, the higher she held you, and then the worse you fell.
"A few days ago, Tuo Yuanqing sent some things, I don't know if my aunt still likes it?"
Aunt Fang thought of the delicate head and face that was sent to her hands, and her mind was complicated for a while, a noble girl in Kyoto, her father is a powerful minister today, and her mother was born in a family.
The heart is even more mixed.
An inexplicable resentment swelled up.
But remembering what the mysterious man said, he stopped again, and only smiled and said, "The county lord is very polite, I like it very much." β
When she came back this time, she wanted the entire Pingwang Mansion!
As long as her son becomes King Ping and she becomes an old lady, what's the ...... Can't get it?
Thinking about it, the smile became more and more sincere, and even thought that if Tang Yue knew and was interested, it would be okay for her son to marry her in the future.
Tang Yue also smiled more and more flatteringly.
Two hours later, Tang Hu and Tang Yue returned home.
Leaving Aunt Fang and Bai Jin, who were looking at Cui Gai Zhu Ying's eight treasure cars, with burning eyes.
So luxurious, is this the family of Gyeonggi officials?
At lunchtime, the two retreated and whispered, "Mother, that county lord is so good-looking, and my son wants to marry her." β
Aunt Fang was able to raise her son alone outside, relying not only on the silver given by King Xianping and Princess Heping, Aunt Fang smiled, "When did your mother not give it to you?" just remember, have a good relationship with Tang Hu, as for the county lord, my mother will give you a chance." "Nowadays, women just marry chickens and chickens and dogs, at the beginning, she was able to calculate the king of Xianping because of a meeting, and with a pearl fetus, she can naturally calculate a county lord for her son, her son was born handsome, as long as he gets the title of Pingwangfu, I am afraid that the county lord should not succeed in this marriage?
At that time, people loved to treat others with themselves, and they themselves were addicted to the luxury and power of the Pingwang Mansion, and always thought that others would bow their heads because of power like them.
And Tang Hu and Tang Yue are also discussing today's affairs.
"How did my brother choose to go to the Ping Wangfu today?" Tang Yue was puzzled. Didn't Bai Li ask him to watch it earlier?
"I was invited, not to mention that I came to the door myself. Tang Hu said, "I see that you haven't been here lately, and you don't want to do anything?" I don't even think about this kind of thing by myself, alas, it seems that I still have to find something to do for this girl, so as not to sigh all day long.
Tang Yue pouted dissatisfied: "Obviously, the weather is too hot." β
"Summer hasn't arrived yet!" It's obviously because the lover is gone! Hmph, the more Tang Hu thinks about it, the more he feels that he should make a little stumbling block for Bai Li, so easily he has hooked his sister's heart! Sure enough, the girl is outgoing!
"What does my brother think of those two?"
Tang Yuecai didn't want to discuss his relationship with his brother, so he simply led the topic to the two mothers and sons.
"It's a big deal. "Too ambitious, but not capable enough" is behind someone. β
"I know, I just want to know who's behind them. Tang Yue nodded his chin with a deep expression.
"Then wait for them to show their clues. "Fox tail, he'll catch it sooner or later.
"I'm going to see the eldest princess in the afternoon. β
"Go. β
As for the evening, when the lights went out at night, Aunt Fang got a note - the birthday of the eldest princess.
She smiled lightly and put the note on the candle flame and watched it burn to ashes, today Tang Yue just said about the eldest princess, she naturally knows that she can only be a prisoner to be guarded in the Pingwang Mansion, but the eldest princess's mansion is different, isn't it natural to be filial piety for her husband and eldest brother?
She knew that for that matter, it would be absolutely impossible for King Xianping to explain it one by one, so she was the aunt of King Xianping, and it was another matter how this aunt came to be.
It's a pity that people are never as good as heaven.
