Chapter 123: The Lady of the County

The corners of Peach Blossom's mouth bent, a gentle smile bloomed, and her cheeks flushed: "Okay." Meng Lang has never blushed with slaves and maids, nor has he ever accepted a concubine, so he doesn't even have a room. The old lady treats the slave and maid very well, she is obsessed with calligraphy and Buddhism, but she does not often ask the slave and maid to set rules. It's just that...... Now that the old marquis and his husband and brother died in southern Xinjiang, the old lady is so sad that she falls ill. Now Meng Lang asked the slave to learn to preside over the housework, and the slave and maid only did what you said before, Miss. The people in the house thought that the slave maid was born as a female official, and she was a noble girl from Ming Jieyu's family in the palace, and she was respectful and nothing serious. After that, he raised his head and looked at Pillow Chun, "You...... Are you okay? ”

The corners of Pillow Chun's mouth loosened, but he also smiled gently: "I'm also very good, I don't have to worry about food and clothing." You don't want a slave and a slave, you are now the wife of Ying Guogong and the lady of the county, so you don't have to gossip. ”

"Slave maid...... I ......" Peach Blossom's eyes flashed, and she finally showed a somewhat worried look, "I heard that Miss Fourteen has also entered the palace?" As she spoke, she was a little anxious, "Miss Fourteen has a deep temperament, but she is not a difficult one. She can distinguish between dignity and inferiority, but she can make the third aunt pickled, but can she encroach on you? ”

"No, no......" Pillow Chun patted her hand, "Don't worry." Huatang lives in Sister Liu's Qiyang Palace, but she has little contact with me. After all, we are sisters, and we always have to take care of them politely. ”

Peach Blossom nodded reassuringly, thought about something again, and said, "Miss Eleven, before entering the palace today, your mother came to look for me. ”

"Mother?" Pillow Chun nodded the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief, "What did mother say?" ”

"Madame didn't say anything about it, saying that the eldest young master and the second young master brought you some fun things, and I wanted to let me bring them to you. When he walked, he said that he would not bring it, so as not to cause trouble on the road. Just say that the eldest lady gave birth to a little young master in her second child, and you have a little nephew. Now, the eldest young master and the second young master have eldest sons. ”

Pillow Chun's eyes faded slightly, a little lonely, and said, "Mother asked you to urge me to get the prince as soon as possible?" ”

"No, no, no......" Peach Blossom hurriedly waved her hand, "Madame said, since your brother has a son-in-law, in the future, if you are skilled and martial, you can work hard, or you can inherit it if you get a lord." If you have a miscarriage, you will always be injured, so you should take care of yourself. In the future, if you get a princess and a prince, it will be a blessing, and you don't have to force it. Mrs. said, you have been so strong and self-respecting since you were a child, and you are not willing to bow down and be small, but you should not be forced to be a concubine. If you don't have children, don't mind, your father and brothers will support you in the future, and then your relatives and nephews will help you. Miss Eleven, Mrs. said that her wish in this life is for you to live freely and happily. ”

The handkerchief pressed on the corner of his eyes was moist, he only wiped his cheeks, and smiled: "Everything is already worry-free." Plainly talking about these ......" but his eyes looked at the peach blossoms, and suddenly asked, "It's ...... you"

Peach Blossom's face suddenly turned crimson, and she lowered her head and whispered, "There is already ...... It's been two months......"

"Really?" This surprise came suddenly, which made Pillow Chun's heart sweeten, and he couldn't help but reach out to probe Peach Blossom's lower abdomen, and praised: "Good fortune." ”

"Husband said, my fate with him is Miss, your leniency, I want to ask you to give me a name."

Pillow Chun joked to her, "The husband is really envious of others." As he spoke, he tapped his chin with his fingertips, "I'm a person who doesn't know how to learn and don't know what a powerful name is, so I can give this child a milk name?" It was called...... It can be used by both boys and girls. ”

"But what does it mean?" Peach Blossom doesn't understand.

"The child's grandfather and uncle were both killed in battle. The road is long, I will go up and down and seek. ”

"I don't understand...... Peach Blossom laughed, "and it sounds easy." ”

"Niangniang, Duchess Yingguo." Su Bai said in a low voice, "It's time." ”

Pillow Chun glanced at the drip on the table and squeezed the peach blossom hand tightly.

Please have time every day, and watch the dripping cloth vegetables for lunch and dinner. The hour of the meal and the time of travel should be recorded. That is, there are examples to follow, such as sleeping, meeting, talking, and sleeping, and there can be no more or less. It's not like a person, it's like a thing.

For the first time, Pillow Spring had deep malice towards every brick and tile of this imperial city.

Feng Xian drooped his chubby little head, walked around the door, and saw that the peach blossom inside was about to go out, so he chased after the peach blossom and followed a few steps. Seeing that the peach blossom came out of the Jianghe Palace, Feng Xian stopped chasing it, ticked twice at the door, and scratched the tidbits of the eightfold black dragon on the ground. It has been playing happily in the courtyard in front of the Jianghe Palace for the past few days, eating enough, and there are little beans watching it chasing it every day, where is it uncomfortable.

He concentrated on chasing the petals on the eightfold black dragon that had not yet landed, running and jumping on one wall, and with a bang on his head, he hit a pair of ochre-colored dragon scale gold wire ** boots.

"What beast?" Mu Beiyi grabbed Feng Xian's neck, lifted it up, and squinted at it for a while.

"Your Majesty, why is it here?" Pillow Chun carried one side of the skirt, and one wall came out of the Jianghe point, and saw Feng Xian fluttering his little paws in Mu Beiyi's hand, and exclaimed, "Feng Xian'er!" ”

"Feng Xian?" Mu Beiyi frowned.

"It's a little mastiff from the Treasure Beast House." Pillow Chun explained, "It's not what Sister Liu said, the palace has to do something to pass the time, and you only know how to drink extravagantly or gamble and play cards." "I'm going to pick it up with crooked eyebrows," this little dog is quite cute. ”

Mu Beiyi didn't give it to her, lifted Feng Xian with one hand, and plucked its claws with the other, and said, "Dirty things, don't put them in the hall." He threw it to Feng Tang and said, "Take this name." ”

"Oh......" Pillow Chun's eyes looked at Fengxian's aggrieved appearance, and greeted Beiyi into the hall, "Your Majesty is here at this time, what do you have to advise?" ”

"Duchess Ying Guo is here?" Mu Beiyi sat down and asked casually.

Pillow Spring first served pastries, and then served tea: "I'm here, I'm leaving." ”

Mu Beiyi bowed his head and said, "She has always respected you. Ying Guogong and the Meng clan respect you, you should teach them to be loyal and know the grace of heaven, and I will be indispensable to their family's merits. As he spoke, his face was a little solemn, "Poor old Guangping Marquis and Shizi, under the mountain stream in southern Xinjiang, the bones are incomplete. ”

"Yes." Pillow Chun lowered his head, "As Your Majesty said, the Ying Guo Mansion knows about it...... Five inner sense of inscription. Your Majesty......" she took a deep breath and mustered up her courage, "the title of Duke of Yingguo, but hereditary?" ”

Mu Beiyi glanced at her.

"The concubine is thinking, Duchess Yingguo...... Peach Blossom, she was born in a commoner, and she also signed a deed of sale. ”

"Since I have given marriage, I will not count these things." Mu Beiyi snorted lightly, "Why do you think about these trivial things." The Meng family has meritorious service to the country, and it is naturally hereditary. ”

Pillow Chun thought in his heart what this hereditary title meant, but it was no soldiers, no power, only wealth. Only wealth...... That's good. Thinking like this, he made up his mind, and only got up lightly and added tea to Mu Beiyi. She grabbed the blouse of the placket, shook the wide sleeves, and swept the pile of books on the small case with the tail of the sleeve without a trace, and made a noise. "Your Majesty forgives your sins......" Pillow Chun buried his head and went to pick it up.

"Wait." Mu Beiyi held the lamp in one hand, and his ** boots stepped on the book under Pillow Chun's hand, "What is this?" ”

Pillow Chun's eyes fell, his face was red, and he hurriedly fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" It's ......"

Mu Beiyi's ** boots moved, kicked Zhu Chun's hand away, and bent down to pick up the secret drama book himself.

Pillow Chun buried his head, his eyes only looked at the ground, his shoulders trembled, and he choked: "Your Majesty, don't look at this thing, it's not for the concubine to stay." Previously, the Duchess of Yingguo came to speak, talking about the filthy book circulating in Lejing, and she was very angry and used it to reason with her concubines...... That's ......"

Mu Beiyi casually turned the two pages, and said: "I have never seen such a picture book in the Jingfang of Zhile. Today is an eye-opener. ”

"Your Majesty......" Pillow Chun raised his head, and his face was already filled with tears.

"Get up, it's none of your business." Mu Beiyi said lightly, "You said that the Duchess of Ying Guo brought it in?" ”

Pillow Chun hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, both aggrieved and crying, got up and replied: "Yes, it's just now." ”

Mu Beiyi turned two more pages, and his hand fell on the top of the Fengtai scroll.

Pillow Chun's heart jumped, and his eyes simply closed.

"Well drawn...... It's still like that. Mu Beiyi commented, "But there is no look." I guess I've never seen your true faces. ”

"Your Majesty?" Pillow Spring raised his head in surprise.

Mu Beiyi patted the couch and motioned for her to sit, and said: "This kind of illustrated book, most of the painters depict it with the weekday scenery of the hook column, and then crown it with the appearance of others, it is called a secret play." This volume is called Fengtai, and it is painted with the Taizhen concubine of the former dynasty, the young master and concubine of the first emperor, and there are also concubines, you and concubines. Saying that, he took a sip of tea, "Concubine Taizhen's great-grandfather was a national pillar, and his family has been hairpins for generations. The young master and concubine are the daughters of the young master's clan, and they are high-ranking nobles, so they are favored by the first emperor. Needless to say, Concubine Zhen is a concubine, but she is the daughter of the Xue family, and she is a famous family. Your maternal grandfather's family was a military marquis, and your father was a pillar of the country. As for the concubines, although they are not high-ranking nobles, they were also the leaders of the banquet and the leaders of the official eunuchs. The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, "But in this phoenix scroll, although the imperial concubine is beautifully dressed and wears gold hairpins, there is a trace of flattery in her eyebrows and eyes, and there are two points of cowardice, which shows that it is not painted by herself." Famous Daughters...... There should be a posture when walking, sitting and lying, you are long in the official family and do not know it. Is this a secret picture...... Zuo just looked for a slightly similar courtesan to figure it out. ”

"Your Majesty is so wise." Pillow Chun loosened his shoulders, "But the concubine is the daughter's family, and such a thing is flowing in the community, how sad it will be if the parents see it." What's more, there are many women who have not yet left the cabinet in this volume. Although Lejing is now civilized, some high-ranking families are very particular about their reputations. It is not uncommon for women to be forced to death because of their bad reputation. ”

Mu Beiyi looked at Pillow Chun again: "What do you think?" ”

Pillow Chun thought for a moment and said: "The concubine said something in her heart, this volume is flowing in the market, and the concubine is not angry in her heart. ”

Mu Beiyi's expression did not change, and there was a hint of coolness in his tone: "I am angry." ”

Pillow Chun said softly: "Your Majesty is a gentleman is a husband is naturally angry, and the concubine dares to ask, if more than ten years later, Princess Yan Yi, Princess Rujun and Princess Yun Zhao will become a slim daughter's house." If at that time, Your Majesty saw their portraits circulating in the streets, and let others judge them or play in the streets, what would Your Majesty do when he was a father at that time? ”

Mu Beiyi groaned: "I won't kill them." I cut off the painter's index finger and gouged out the viewer's eyes. ”

Pillow Chunwan'er, said carefully: "It's just that such a collection of paintings is seen by men, and how to depict and how to pass it on, but I don't ask the woman in the painting." He softened his voice as he spoke, "Walking in the mortal world, there are seven emotions and six desires, and such albums have always existed. For example、、, it should be both elegant and vulgar, and it should be both vulgar and elegant. ”

"Elegance and vulgarity?"

Pillow Chun tilted his head and said with a smile, "The so-called appreciation of elegance and vulgarity is a loving thing in the world." It should be both men and women, as they wish. If you don't ask the wishes of the woman or the wishes of your parents, you will copy the illustrated book at will and spread it to see the blasphemy, which is unreasonable. As he spoke, he smiled, "If you want the concubine to say, if you want to draw pictures of women, then you must also draw pictures of men, so that it is fair." ”

Mu Bei Yilang laughed and joked: "What is the use of a man's drawing? The portraits of those ruffians and hooligans have nothing to look at. ”

"Then you can't let it be bullied?" Pillow Chun said, his brows furrowed slightly, the smile on his face subsided a little, and he replied thoughtfully: "Wen Yingguo Duchess said that there are also chivalrous people in the market who can't see such a thing and come forward to stop it, but they are reprimanded and scolded by those ruffians and hooligans. In this way, everyone is fearless, and the woman in the painting is even more unscrupulous. His Majesty is not a pedantic person, but a Ming monarch with extensive enlightenment, so he opened the Quartet trade route and has such a civilized people's customs. ”

"Hmm." Mu Beiyi seemed to be thinking.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ However, there have always been many disputes in this matter, and if there is a fight, it is the person who prevents the counsel from being taken into custody. On the contrary, those who read the picture scroll and circulated it wantonly are not guilty. ”

Mu Beiyi asked, "You mean legislative picketing?" ”

Pillow Chun looked at Mu Beiyi and said sincerely: "This matter is a human need, the court does not have to destroy people's desires, and naturally does not correct the sins of the painters." Those who are guilty of ruining the reputation of the woman in the painting or speaking slanderously on the street should be punished according to the law. If there is anyone in the community who is willing to come forward to stop or admonish, he should be rewarded. In this way, all those who need it take what they need, and the women have their own dignity and status, and they are white and white in broad daylight. Probably ...... His Majesty's daughters, the daughters of the eunuchs, and the daughters of the common people are all innocent daughters. ”

Mu Beiyi looked at the album in his hand intently, thinking about it. After only a short pause, he put the scroll into his sleeve and lifted his robe.

Pillow Chun hurriedly bowed: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

Wonderful!
