Chapter Seventy-Nine: My Sweetheart
"Naturally, the second son of Meng is polite, so the slave has been staring at him." Peach Blossom continued in a low voice.
Although Meng Ergongzi is thin, he has a very scholarly temperament, wearing a snow-white crane, and he is also handsome when he looks at his eyebrows.
The Marquis of Guangping was a half-hundred-year-old general, eight feet tall, and stepped forward to welcome the guard of honor in. He entered the weeping flower gate from the shadow wall and walked for half a cup of tea before arriving at the hall of the outer courtyard. Meng Ergongzi walked slowly, and it didn't hinder major events, but Miss Yan supported him all the way.
"It's fun." Pillow Chun asked, "Don't have a concubine?" ”
Peach Blossom's ears turned red, and she seemed a little shy, and replied, "I didn't see it." The slave maid glanced at it a few times, or it was too visible, and he always felt that the people in the Hou Mansion were also looking at the slave maid. Therefore, it is not easy to stare at it. ”
Pillow Chun thought that the second son of Meng had lost his wife, but there was no concubine to serve him on such an occasion, so it can be seen that there was no concubine. If there is, it must be just a girl who has a room, and she comes out without an identity. In this way, he can be regarded as a pure son around him, but he didn't do anything. He motioned for Peach Blossom to continue.
He also said that the will was announced over there, and Mrs. Hou gave some sachets to the leading chamberlain and the guards who sent it to the office, which were filled with silver ingots. Or because Peach Blossom was standing in the queue of female officials, Mrs. Hou probably thought she was a face-saving female history, and she also gave a sachet. The peach blossom heart is weak, and the temperament is simple, so he definitely doesn't dare to accept it.
It doesn't matter much later, just look at the style of the Hou Mansion, and the people are bright. The second son of Meng was silent, and when he received the order, a manservant accidentally soiled the corners of his clothes, and he didn't reprimand, he should be a generous one.
Therefore, Peach Blossom ran an errand and went back to Anfu.
When Anfu saw Peach Blossom coming back, he first thought something was wrong and was frightened. Even if he heard that it was Pillow Spring that had an heir and was promoted to Guiyi, he was naturally full of joy. Joy is joy, naturally knowing that it is not easy in the palace, Tu summoned Peach Blossom to the inner courtyard again, and asked for a long time about everything. After the matter of Pillow Spring was finished, he talked about An Huatang and Meng Ergongzi.
Tu summoned An Huatang to ask, and Peach Blossom explained that it was Mu Beiyi's intention to lift up. An Huatang heard that he was the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and he was going to marry the main family, and the Son of Heaven gave him a marriage, so he naturally promised with shyness and timidity. In this way, Tu went to find his mother's sister as an intermediary.
Tu's sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yangling, and she was married to the prince of Liangguo. Three years ago, the Duke of Liangguo passed away, and the princess became the princess, and the sister-in-law naturally became the Duchess of Liangguo. The Duke of Liangguo has no real power, and there is no political opinion in the government and the opposition, but it is this idleness and inaction that makes the Duke of Liangguo safe and prosperous, and it has always been among the nobles of Lejing.
A Duchess of Liangguo and a Mrs. Zuocheng of Shangshu went to the Marquis of Guangping Mansion together, and only then did they make enough face.
Tu and Duchess Liangguo are siblings, so they are naturally of the same heart. The two handed over the sticker, met with Mrs. Guangping Marquis in the flower hall, and said some common words among noble women, Mrs. Guangping Marquis naturally praised the eldest brother of Zhuchun for taking the Tanhualang examination, and the second brother did the things of General Ning Yuan.
Tu Shi covered his face with a handkerchief and excused himself: "Those two boys in my family are young and not sensible. ”
Seeing this, the Duchess of Liangguo said smoothly: "It's to say that today's children, I heard that the second son of Meng of the Hou Mansion is a good article and talented. ”
Mrs. Guangping Hou was puzzled: "The second child of our family is a man of few words, and he doesn't travel much on weekdays, how can he have such a reputation?" ”
Tu Shi and Duchess of Liangguo exchanged glances slightly, took a sip of tea, and said with a gentle smile: "Mrs. Hou should not be humble. Ah, the one above said this, is this still false? ”
"That one?" Mrs. Guangping Hou thought about it for a while, and then understood, "What a blessing, I heard that the concubine of Anfu is now the noble lord of the court, and she is very favored by His Majesty." Thinking about it this way, it is indeed true. ”
The Duchess of Liangguo bowed her head, and then changed her words: "My sister-in-law has two daughters in the house." Although the remaining one is a concubine, she is raised as a concubine and is very well-behaved. It's ...... now."
Tu Shi continued: "Fourteen." ”
Mrs. Guangping Hou understood all of her eyesight in an instant, but said: "Don't hide it from the two ladies, the second boy in our family, who has a minor illness and has lost his wife, sees that the crown is one again, and he has not yet renewed. A few years ago, in the invitation of the Hou Ye, he mentioned this matter to His Majesty, hoping that His Majesty would be the master and give him a good match......"
Seeing Mrs. Hou of Guangping confessing like this, Tu Shi simply said straightly: "Mrs. Hou is a refreshing person. I don't be polite with my wife, but a few days ago, I sent a letter to my eldest daughter, saying that her sister-in-law is close to the age of Lu, and I hope that she will also inquire about a good son as an eldest sister. Didn't expect it...... When the scholar saw it, he ......"
"Look at the two of you." Duchess Liangguo laughed, "Isn't this fate?" ”
"But ......" Mrs. Guangpinghou's face sank slightly, "This matter is also in response to the sentence of marriage with the sky, my second boy, yesterday actually said that he has fallen in love with a sweetheart!" ”
Peach Blossom said it vividly, and Pillow Chun sounded strange: "How can there be such a coincidental thing, isn't it that the Marquis of Guangping Mansion looks down on my An family's concubine, and uses this as an excuse?" ”
Peach Blossom nodded and replied, "The slave also thinks so, so she asked Madame." Mrs. said that Mrs. Guangping Hou is a cheerful person, but she is not like a master who lies on both sides and three lies, and she is very sorry when she says it. said that he admired An's style, and he was happy to see that he had a future life. But the second son of Meng is notoriously stubborn, and his wife never took a concubine when he was there, and he is a well-known lover. Now that he has said that he has a sweetheart, he can't pull it back with nine cows. When Mrs. saw that she had no chance, she was also very sorry, but she was not reluctant, so she took her leave. After that, he begged for saliva to moisten his throat, and continued, "After coming back, Miss Fourteen cried for a long time, and she refused to go out when the slave left. ”
Pillow Chun groaned for a while, and shook his head: "In the end, marriage follows the sky, although the Hou Mansion is good, it is not that you can't live if you miss it." My sister is still young, and there is still a chance. ”
It's just that the words haven't been finished yet, and Pillow Chun feels a pity. Unexpectedly, someone outside suddenly came to spread the word. It is said that the Son of Heaven set up a luncheon in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Shende side hall, and instructed Zhuchun to go to the banquet.
This is a rare thing. The Shende Hall is in the vestibule, and the banquet in the side hall is only for the courtiers on weekdays. Pillow Chun was puzzled, but he had to change his clothes and hair, wearing a solemn dark blue ice cracked plum pattern vertical collar skirt, decorated with Bibao Yingluo and golden hairpins, and called Peach Blossom to follow all the way, and after some details, he went to the vestibule.
The Shende Hall is repaired exquisitely, there is a verandah in front of the hall near the water, and after a bamboo flower forest, you can enter from the side hall gate. At this time, the spring is humid, stepping on the soft ground, close to the warm pavilion. The waiter in front of the door sang a salute, and two palace ladies wearing water-colored palace clothes led her in. Pillow Spring held the peach blossoms, entered the pavilion from behind the screen, and raised his eyebrows lightly after singing. After a brief sweep of the seat, I knew that something was wrong.
