Chapter 716: Borrowing Power (Part II)
Xu Lingyi and Eleven Niang were a little surprised.
"Do you know what you were letting into the palace for? Eleven Niang asked her son with concern.
"I said I was going to Xiyuan to play in the ice. Brother Jin smiled, "I also said that I would enter the palace to enjoy the lanterns at twelve...
Is it good or bad to get so close?
Eleven Niang looked at Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi has told Brother Jin: "Don't forget the etiquette... It was a euphemistic expression of agreement.
There is nothing that children don't like to play, not to mention the majesty and grandeur of the royal act, which is unusually comparable. Brother Jin'er was moved when he heard it, just thinking that his father had been detaining him these days, afraid that his father would be unhappy, and seeing that his father readily agreed, his face was full of joy: "Daddy, don't worry, I won't say a word about what I shouldn't say...
Although Brother Jin is young, he has a good grasp of how to deal with people. At this point, Xu Lingyi is recognized.
He chucked slightly.
Brother Jin was in a few more spirits, and talked to his mother: "...... The West Garden is very large. The ice lake is bigger than our house, and when you stand on the edge of the lake, you can see that everything is crystal clear and like a glass world. It's beautiful. "And said," said the eldest princess, "this year, the lantern festival in the palace will be held in the Imperial Garden in front of the Qin'an Palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has been instructed to make a thousand lanterns......,γγ
That time I went to Baoding, Xu Lingyi painted landscape paintings for Eleven Niang all the way, and under the influence of his father, where Brother Jin went, he also liked to tell his mother what he saw and heard.
Eleven Niang listened with a smile, and the next day she and Ah Jin prepared a leather jacket for Brother Jin, and happily sent Brother Jin out early in the morning of the sixth day of the new year.
When Brother Jin came back, he pulled Eleven Niang aside: "Mother, it turns out that the person who was hit on the top of the head by the eldest princess's bow that day was Wang Xian, the son of Changning Wei's commander. "How do you know?" Eleven Niang has always been very concerned about the marriage of the Grand Duke, hoping that she can find a person with good conduct" "How did he go to Yuhua Garden...
"He was originally on an errand in the Praetorian Guard, and he was ordered by Commander Ouyang to wait for Father-in-law He next to the Qin'an Palace." Brother Jin smiled, "Today we are going to play ice." I saw him again, he was on duty at the gate of the West Garden today...
Shi Niang thought for a while and hesitated: "You won't point him to pull the ice car for you, right?" β
When the princes and princesses were playing in the ice in the West Garden, the eunuchs would often point to the Praetorian Guards on errands in the West Garden to help pull the ice cart in order to be lazy.
"Mother, you can really do it. You've guessed it! Brother Jin grinned and hugged his mother's arm," the eighth prince pointed at Wang Xian. However, I blamed the eldest princess for her not very good face, so I went to Wang Xianzhi to wave the flag to us... When you try skating, you need a person to wave a flag next to you to signal the start time, "Who knew that the eldest princess wouldn't play for a while." We roasted broad beans in the side hall of Chonghua Palace all afternoon. "It's boring.
Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing.
Within two days, two Xiaolingwei came to play with Brother Jin.
"One is called Xie Yan, and the other is called Wei Xun... Amber whispered, "Lord Xie is the grandson of Princess Yong'an. Eighteen years old this year" Lord Wei is the son of the county lord of Jiangdu, and he is sixteen years old this year; The commander who was sealed with the sixth young master, listening to that tone, also went to the palace to play ice in the sixth year of the first year. βγ smiled again, "The two adults are very polite, and they look like Sven, and they also brought an eight-color gift box as a gift. β
I didn't expect Brother Jin to have friends come to the door!
Eleven Niang sighed in her heart and instructed Amber: "It's rare for him to have friends come up, so don't lose your courtesy." You run to him a little longer. What to eat, what to drink, let the kitchen just wait to be made, and the money will come out of me. β
Amber smiled and replied, "Yes." βγ Retreated" and came after a while: "Madam, are you a little lateγγ
Eleven Niang was puzzled.
Amber smiled with her sleeves covered: "When I go." I saw a steward in the back office there and instructed a few servants around the sixth young master, and said, "Let the kitchen be entertained, and the silver will come out of the Hou Ye." βγ
Eleven Niang also laughed.
In the evening, Brother Jin came over to say hello.
"Mother, Wei Xun asked me to go to the western suburbs tomorrow to enjoy the plums!" , He looked at Eleven Niang with blank eyes, "I didn't dare to promise others!" β¦β
"Don't pretend to be pitiful for me here!." Eleven Niang smiled and twisted her son's nose, "When your father comes back, I'll tell your father."
"Tell me something! β¦γ Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. Xu Lingyi shook the snow on the cloak and walked in.
"Daddy! Brother Jin talked around Xu Lingyi like a puppy. "I have friends who ask me out to hang out,...... Actually, I don't want to go out either. But the first time people meet, they always feel bad if they refuse...... and if they don't refuse, they are afraid that you will be angry...... After hesitating for a long time, I had to euphemistically say to see if there was anything going on at home...... Daddy, Xie Yan and Wei Xun are both very good, and I will ...... with me."
Xu Lingyi looked funny and angry, but in the end she still felt sorry for this son: "It's okay to go, bring the guards, and don't leave the guards to run by yourself." If you can't, don't want to go out again! "Definitely, definitely. Brother Jin was busy protecting, and muttered, "When did I leave the guard and run away?γγ
"The guards are drinking tea in the teahouse, and you go shopping." Xu Lingyi glanced at Brother Er'er meaningfully, "Is this considered to leave the guards and run away?" Brother Jin was dumbfounded.
Xu Lingyi has already said: "It's not too early" Since I have made an appointment for tomorrow, I will rest early, and I will go out early tomorrow. In winter, the days are short...
Brother Jin didn't dare to say a word more, hurriedly bowed and retreated, and the next day obediently sat in a black and flat-topped carriage, surrounded by more than thirty guards and went to the meeting place. Xie Yan and Wei Xun brought more people than he brought. Brother Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and the group dragged them to Xishan.
When I returned home, I said that I would go to Xishan to run horses in two days.
Eleven Niang was very surprised: "It's a big New Year." Dripping into ice, what kind of horse to run! When the net is opened and the weather is warm, wouldn't it be better for us to go to Xishan for a hike? β¦β
"It's a meeting of friends ... Brother Jin smiled, "I have already agreed, it's not good not to go!" β
"Friends? Eleven Niang was a little surprised, "What friend?" What is your name? How did you meet? How old are they? What does the family do? β
Brother Jin smiled: "When I went to the west of the city to enjoy the plum blossoms today, I met people who were four or five years older than me, and they were all on errands in the camp of Xishan. Everyone said that they were matched, so they made an appointment to go to the horse race together tomorrow. β
When Eleven Niang heard this, she didn't want her son to go.
The Xishan camp is the emperor's personal guard. The servants and acquaintances are one grade higher than the general commanders and acquaintances of the Command Division. He is only four or five years older than Brother Jin'er, but I am afraid that he is not the child of an ordinary noble family.
Brother Jin hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Eleven Niang's shoulders: "Mother, I rode all the way from Yanjing to Jiayuguan, and then rode from Jiayuguan to Yanjing, it's not good." Not to mention running horses with friends. The picture is a lively, competitive one, which can't help but make people feel bored. You can rest assured, I'm just going to have a fun time for everyone. And he said, "Daddy is afraid that you will be worried." Say I can go. With your consent. Mother, just let me go! Otherwise, I will not be true to my word. Who's still friends with me when it's out!. β
Eleven Niang didn't want Brother Jin to get too close to Xishan Daying.
"Since you're a new friend, you're a lot of heart." She said, "We can get by if we are worthy of jiao, and we can get by if we are not worthy of jiao." He added, "Are Xie Yan and Wei Xun going too?" "Don't go! "They don't know how to ride horses." However, Wei Xun asked me and Xie Yan Shiyi to come to his house to enjoy the snow...
Snow is better than horseback riding.
Eleven Niang smiled and nodded. Joked to his son: "You have a lot of entertainment!" β¦β
"Of course ... Brother Jin straightened his chest. "The Nine Emperors also asked me to be a guest at King Anhui's house. I think he's always gloomy and didn't promise. , King An Hui is the fourth son of the emperor.
"Have you seen King An Hui? , Eleven Niang has never seen it, "When did you see it?". β
"When I went with my father to congratulate the emperor on the first day of the new year." Brother Jin said, "He looks very similar to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." But. Without the spirit of His Royal Highness the Prince, he looks two or three years older than His Royal Highness the Prince...... , The mother and son were talking, "A little guy ran in," Sixth young master, sixth young master, there is a little father-in-law looking for you...
"Little father-in-law? Brother Jin was stunned, "At this time? β¦β
Xiao Wu nodded: "He said that he was from the Yongwang Mansion, and he sent the Nine Emperor Princes to deliver a letter to the Sixth Young Master. β
"Mother, I'll take a look! Brother Jin said, and hurriedly followed the little maid to the outer courtyard, about two pillars of incense. Fold it back.
"What are the Nine Emperor Princes looking for you?" , didn't wait for his son to speak. Eleven Niang has asked.
Brother Jin pouted: "He asked me to talk to the queen mother." Invite him and the Eleventh Prince to play at home! β¦β
"What do you say? Eleven Niang said anxiously.
She was worried that Brother Jin recklessly agreed-Xu Lingyi's identity was too sensitive, and she invited the two young princes to play at home, and she didn't know how many people would ponder there.
"I told the little eunuch that who doesn't know that my father is known for following the rules, and he will never do anything that does not conform to the rules. If he knew that I had invited the prince to play at home, he would have killed me half to death! "I'll go to Xishan tomorrow to run horses, and the day after tomorrow I'll go to Wei Xun's house to enjoy the snow." If they can sneak out, come with me, if not, I can't. β¦γ
A good sentence "Unruly things are absolutely not done...", Eleven Niang hugged her son with a smile and praised him well, and then said: "You say this" The Nine Emperors and the Eleventh Princes will not be angry, right? I see that when you go to the palace to see the Hua lanterns, it is better to explain it in front of them...
"Hmmm! Brother Jin nodded with a smile, and asked Eleven Niang to prepare two Hetian yΓΉ toys for him, "Both of them like Hetian yΓΉ, and when the time comes, give it to them, and their anger will disappear." β¦γ
Eleven Niang found a suitable Hetian yΓΉ play piece for Brother Jin in the library, but Brother Jin spent two days playing outside. I enjoyed the Hua lanterns in the palace, and there were friends who met with a horse running that day and booked a few private rooms in the restaurant on the street of East Street, "I made an appointment with Brother Jin to watch the lanterns on the fifteenth, and on the last day of the net festival, Princess Suiping's attached horse was on the second floor of the net Xi Building, and I asked Brother Jin to play." Brother Jin'er is going like this today. When I go to that house tomorrow, of course I have to invite back, discuss with Xu Lingyi, borrow the house of Eleven Niang Goldfish Hutong, and make a "Pengying Banquet,." Someone listened to it and thought of a better idea, and shouted that he would also visit his other courtyard in two days...... You come and go, by the middle of February, it has not stopped, and it is getting more and more intense, and some people even use gold leaf to paint the body of the rΗ pig to make a "golden banquet" Hua Fei Wan Jin, the luxury is staggering.
