Chapter 209: The Big Tree

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances!" Princess Tosto didn't buy it, snorted at Cai Wei, turned her head and continued to look at the street scene.

Cai Wei didn't care, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and swallowed slowly, while listening to Lu Ying and His Royal Highness the Third Prince chatting about the world.

It was just about some trade in the field, and about the customs and customs of Tatar, and the two of them chatted quite happily.

Li Ruzhou is a businessman, and when he heard that the border was going to open a market, he immediately became interested, and inquired about the price of medicinal materials over there and what goods could be sold.

His Royal Highness the Third Prince talked about these things, and they were all like treasures, and they answered Li Ruzhou one by one.

Whether it is the customs of Tatar or the folk customs, the three princes are at their fingertips, but Cai Wei is impressed.

In particular, his fluent Chinese and understanding of Han culture made Cai Wei even more dumbfounded.

It turns out that His Royal Highness the Third Prince is not in vain, looking at his cultivation, it is estimated that he also read a lot of books and put a lot of effort into his early years.

Of course, if there is such a prince, the national strength of the Tatars will not be weak. If Lu Ying is friendly with this third prince, it will also be of great help to the Ming Dynasty.

Cai Wei is used to talking in front of Lu Ying and Li Ruzhou, unlike other boudoir women, who are submissive and obedient for her husband, listening to the conversation between these men, she also interjects a few words from time to time, and is also very interested in the rare medicinal materials over there.

Although it is only a few words, it can often be penetrated and the insights are transparent, which makes His Royal Highness the Third Prince more and more curious about her.

He couldn't stop looking at Cai Wei, and said to Lu Ying with a smile, "I didn't expect Mrs. Zun to be a strange woman with quite an opinion, no wonder she was able to get the emperor's appreciation and enter the palace to treat us and others, it turns out that there are hills and ravines in her chest." Unlike some Ming women, the door is not out of the door, and no talent is virtue. ”

He praised and depreciated the Ming woman's bamboo pole. But Cai Wei was really useful when she heard this.

We're all young people, but we're just a few words, and we're all familiar with each other.

Hearing His Royal Highness the Third Prince making fun of himself like this, Cai Wei couldn't help laughing, "It turns out that in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, we Ming women are so useless?" ”

"How dare you, His Royal Highness didn't mean this, but I was just curious, how could Mrs. Lu have such insights and knowledge, which made His Highness ashamed!"

He praised Cai Wei like this, and it was quite harsh to the ears of Princess Tosto. This Cai Wei is her rival in love, even if she is the wife that Lu Yingming is marrying, this will be unpleasant in her eyes.

Brother Wang praised this woman so much, and looked at her differently, Princess Tosto's face turned blue with anger, and she slapped the table and shouted, "Brother Wang, have you said enough? The women of the Ming Dynasty have always been the only husband and the horse, and the husband is their day, you occasionally see a different woman, and you should see the baby? Such a woman in our Tatars is not even qualified to carry shoes for others! ”

Of course Lu Ying couldn't listen to her derogatory Cai Wei like this, so she immediately turned cold and said in a deep voice, "Princess, be cautious!" This is the lady below, and the princess slanders her like this, which is equivalent to scolding the below. If you still want to eat this meal, please keep your mouth shut. You came from afar, you are a guest of the Ming Dynasty, give you a few thin noodles below, you don't have to inch in, think that the lady under can be bullied at will, if there is another word of disrespect, don't blame you for being unkind! ”

His extremely protective words made Li Yunzhou very comfortable to listen to.

This man is really worth Cai Wei's heart and lungs for him, it seems that he has nothing to worry about, and of course there is no hope.

Look at Princess Tosto's face again, it is really blue and red. I guess no one has ever said this in front of her since she was a child, right?

Since she was born, she has been the pride of the sky, and how many young lads have been singing day and night under her window, thinking of marrying her home?

Even in Daming, her status is not inferior to those royal princesses, but this man actually didn't give her face so much, and said such a thing in front of everyone, where did her face go?

She was both aggrieved and angry, so she simply picked up the horsewhip in her hand, and didn't want to whip Lu Ying over.

Lu Ying sat still, not even looking at her. Cai Wei leaned against Lu Ying, idly looking at the cardamom nails that had just been dyed this morning.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Third Prince was quick-eyed, grabbed Princess Tosto's wrist, and shouted coldly, "Tosto, if you make such nonsense again, Brother Wang will send you back immediately, so that you don't have trouble with His Royal Highness in the Ming Dynasty." This Lord Lu, what's wrong with taking care of your wife, and it's worth your anger like this? ”

Although Tosto is delicate and willful, she also knows that the important task of promoting the Ming has not been completed, and the trade has not yet been agreed, if she causes the two countries to not reach an agreement now, then after she returns, even if she is favored, she will not be able to avoid punishment.

And she went back so gloomily what others would think and say, so that although she was extremely angry and angry in her heart, she could barely hold back at the thought of the future of Tatar, but only snorted, turned her face to the window, and did not look at anyone at the table.

Cai Wei saw that she really couldn't get off the stage, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince was very ugly, so she took advantage of the situation to sell her personal favor, "Her Royal Highness the Third Prince, Her Royal Highness the Princess is still a child, don't criticize her." When the princess first came to Daming, she didn't know about the customs of our Daming, and this was understandable, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince slowly taught it. ”

"It's still Mrs. Lu who is knowledgeable." His Royal Highness the Third Prince took the opportunity to let go of Tosto's wrist and smiled at Cai Wei.

This matter will not be mentioned.

After a short time, Xiao Er brought a table of sumptuous delicacies, so everyone ate and drank, and the banquet was very pleasant.

Although Princess Tosto was angry, when she saw the food, she seemed to be nothing, and she feasted happily, not at all like the princess of the Ming Dynasty who paid attention to image and etiquette, and looked at Li Ruzhou dumbfounded, thinking that this woman was just eating, how could it be the same as gluttony?

His Royal Highness the Third Prince was a little surprised, glanced at everyone embarrassedly, and said shyly, "The sister is speechless, so you can laugh." ”

"It doesn't matter, the princess is really cute, and she is the real temperament." Cai Wei snorted, not wanting to embarrass the scene.

After the food was eaten, Tosto's mood was better, and when he heard Brother Wang say this, he tore a chicken leg while making room for him to speak inarticulately, "Brother Wang, our grassland children are like this, and it is only when we eat meat and drink wine that we are bold." I don't like the Central Plains woman the most, she is twisted and pinched, and she is not happy to eat. They live for men, and I'm not them, so why should I pay attention to this and that? ”

"The princess is so honest!" Although Cai Wei couldn't look at her eating and drinking, she greatly appreciated Tosto's "they live for men", "We women should live with true temperament, but there are too many rules, and we are bound in that small world, and we can't be like men." ”

"Well, I love to hear that." With a mouthful of chicken in his mouth, Tosto was actually interested in Cai Wei's words, and looked at Cai Wei not as hostile as before.

Cai Wei couldn't cry or laugh, this princess from the grassland is really a child's temperament, which makes people scratch their heads.

Lu Ying, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and Li Ruzhou were also very surprised, they were still tense just now, but it was just for a sentence, this will be okay again? It's really faster to change your face than to turn a book.

But as long as Princess Tosto doesn't look for trouble.

So, the three men were silent, and only listened to Princess Tosto and Caiwei talk back and forth about how a woman could improve her status in order to impress a man, and in the end, the two men actually looked at each other and smiled, obviously meeting a confidant.

As the saying goes, "three women in one play", and now these two women can play a big play, which really makes the three men in the banquet feel incredible.

His Royal Highness the Third Prince put down the wine cup in his hand, wiped his mouth, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "You two don't know each other anymore, and you think that Tosto can't make friends, it seems that there are like-minded women in Daming." ”

"Brother Wang, you underestimate me too much." Tosto squeezed his eyes proudly at His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and pointed at Cai Wei again, "Sister Mu, when the spring begins, you can go to Tatar with me, and tell you, we have fun there, women can ride horses and shoot arrows, and they don't need to wear a curtain veil when they go out, let alone be accompanied by a husband." It's like your Ming Dynasty, you have to hold the women's door and don't go out of the second door, how boring. ”

When Lu Ying heard that this unreasonable princess was going to abduct Cai Wei, she was frightened, and her beautiful eyes were stunned, "My lady naturally wants to accompany me at home, what's the matter with following you?" ”

Cai Wei smiled, "I don't necessarily have to go to the spring, if the field opens in the future, I can't say that I have to go for a walk." When the time comes, the food and lodging will all be left to you, so don't bother me. ”

"Yes, when the field opens, I'll go to the Tatar side too, and we'll all bother you then." Li Ruzhou also looked at Tosto with a smile.

Princess Tosto grinned, and glared at Lu Ying angrily, "As long as you take Sister Mu seriously, it's better for this son, when the time comes, don't bring him!" ”

She pointed at Lu Ying with a look of disdain.

In her eyes, Lu Ying represents the men of the Ming Dynasty, and she can't see her daughter-in-law go out and show her face.

Lu Ying smiled helplessly, with this unreasonable princess, she really can't talk to people!

Cai Wei saw that she had a deep misunderstanding of Lu Ying, and wanted to defend Lu Ying a few words, but just about to open her mouth, she was stopped by Lu Ying's eyes.

Cai Wei understood what Lu Ying meant, he wanted to leave a bad impression in Princess Tosto's heart, so that she wouldn't have any reveries about him, right?

That is to say, more is better than less, and Cai Wei will leave her hands alone.

A meal, eat until the sun shadow is thin and oblique.

The host and guest enjoyed themselves and went back separately in the sunset.

Cai Wei Lu Ying and Li Ruzhou walked back along Suzaku Street, the most prosperous street in the capital, while His Royal Highness the Third Prince and Princess Tosto went in the direction of the Huiguo Pavilion.

His Royal Highness the Third Prince and Tosto, surrounded by a group of guards, turned against Caiwei and them. After walking a distance, His Royal Highness the Third Prince couldn't help but look back, but was sneered at by his sister, "Brother Wang, everyone has gone away, what's the use of looking at it again?" If you like it, snatch her back. ”

His Royal Highness the Third Prince was made laughing and crying by his sister's whimsical logic, "What are you talking nonsense? Everyone is a married woman, how can they say that they will rob it? This is the Ming Dynasty, is there no royal law? ”

"Hehe, Brother Wang is so hesitant, no wonder he can't find a woman he likes!" Tosto shrugged and smiled noncommittally. She had long seen that Brother Wang had some unusual attention to Mu Caiwei, and when he was eating, he always stared at Mu Caiwei, and the look in his eyes was something he had never seen with other women.

His Royal Highness the Third Prince saw his sister talking about him like this, so he naturally wouldn't admit it, "What do you know?" I'm just curious about Mrs. Lu. How could she, a woman, have such medical skills? If she is brought to Tatar, will the mother's illness be cured? ”

Although Tosto was savage, rude and willful, his brain was not stupid, and when he saw Brother Wang covering it up like this, he smiled and sneered, "How is Brother Wang going to take her away?" The mother's stubborn illness is not a day or two, and she has found good doctors all over the world, and she may not be able to cure it at a young age. ”

That being said, she would love to give it a try.

It's just that Cai Wei said that she would wait for the field to open before she could go to the border to have a look, this is just her thinking, who knows if that Lu Ying will be released?

In Daming, it is not so easy for a woman to go out, let alone go far away.

The brother and sister were speechless for a while, and they were stunned when they looked at the slanting sunset.

On the second day, Lu Ying went to the court early in the morning wearing a bright flying fish suit.

Cai Wei sent him away, yawned so sleepily, went back to sleep, and waited until three o'clock in the morning to wake up, and after breakfast, she went to Li Ruzhou.

Before the end of the year, they had to clean up the Li Mansion, and at the end of the year, Widow Mu and the people of the Li family should also arrive. When she went to pick her up earlier, Lu Ying asked someone to bring a letter and asked her to go with the Li family, which also saved her the inconvenience of going out as a woman.

The semicolon of the Rising and Dead Pavilion couldn't be opened a year ago, so let's talk about it when the spring opens. This also means that Cai Wei can only be bored at home before the year, and at most go to Li Ruzhou's place to shop.

As for the Mu family, she never wanted to go back.

But she doesn't want to go back, it doesn't mean that no one cares about her.

The Mu family was also busy with the New Year's Festival at this time, but Wang Lao Taijun, the Jiang family, and the Zhang family were still busy with people to greet them and ask about returning to the door.

The marriage customs of the Ming Dynasty, the woman married three dynasties and returned to the door, commonly known as "Guining". These three days have passed, Cai Wei has no intention of returning to the door at all, the Mu family has made preparations at home, but they didn't see Cai Wei and Lu Ying's figures, and they were immediately anxious.

Wang Lao Taijun summoned Mu Dongru and Mu Dongsheng, as well as the Jiang family and the Zhang family, to her house that night, and convened an emergency meeting to discuss that Lu Ying and Cai Wei and his wife should be invited back no matter what, as long as they were willing to come back, they could do whatever they wanted.

The key is that if Lu Ying and Cai Wei return to the door, then their Mu family will have a status in Beijing. The official son of the eldest master Mu Dongru may be able to mention it, and the second master of Mu may be able to "turn positive", from a miscellaneous worker in the country to an official of the imperial court.

Such a big tree, they can't help but climb.
