It wasn't until the evening that He's sent a message to Zhuo Zhaojie: "At the end of Mao, the chief butler Zhuo Ye arrived in the fourth room once. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie frowned and asked Ah Xing and Ah Li, two people who were familiar with the Hou Mansion: "Zhuo Page? ”

Ah Xing and Ah Li glanced at each other and said, "Lady, this is the chief manager of the Hou Mansion." ”

"What's his relationship with our four rooms?" Zhuo Zhaojie asked.

"Mr. Zhuo has always been kind." A Xing is a serious way.

Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips, amiable? In this Hou Mansion, the old lady of the Shen family is only the step-room, the big room and the fourth room have been fighting with one for many years, the second room and the third room are sandwiched in the middle only to protect Mingzhe's life, and the prince Zhuojian has lived in another courtyard for many years, and the candidate for the son has not yet been decided......

In this case, the Hou Mansion is still in order, maintaining at least superficial harmony, which is not something that can be coordinated by a friendly person.

According to the meaning of Ah Xing's words, Zhuo Ye is not necessarily a person from the Shen family, but it may not be biased towards the big room and the fourth room, I'm afraid he should belong to the people of Minping Hou, right? Thinking of her grandfather, Zhuo Zhaojie panicked for no reason, she calmed down and said, "Do you know what he came to do?" ”

Ah Xing and Ah Li both shook their heads and said, "The person sent by the third young lady can't say clearly. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "Recently, apart from the four rooms, is there anything in the house?" ”

Ah Li was embarrassed and said: "Lady, there are so many people in the Hou Mansion, when will there be nothing to do?" But the third young lady said that she had never heard of anything that required the chief manager to come forward in person. ”

This is also true, Zhuo Ye is just a subordinate to Zhuo Zhaojie, but no matter how he says it, he is also the general manager, not so much that he will be very busy, and it will not be an ordinary trivial matter for him to run in person.

So what the hell is going on?

Zhuo Zhaojie was pondering, Ah Xing blinked her eyes, and said: "It is said that because the prince lives in another courtyard, there is another housekeeper and the lady in charge in each room, and the old lady is the same...... But these days, there is really nothing going on in the house! ”

Leisure...... I can't see anyone...... Sent by the Prince...... Zhuo page to four rooms...... You and Mao Gu's red eyes......

"Could it be that my grandfather found out about me and Jiurou and angered my mother?!" Zhuo Zhaojie's face changed slightly, just as You expected to think so!

Ah Xing observed the 'color' of words and seemed to say to herself: "Could it be for the banquet in the East Palace?" ”

East Palace! Zhuo Zhaojie suddenly became vigilant and said, "What are you talking about the banquet in the East Palace?" ”

"In half a month, it is the birthday of His Royal Highness the Prince, according to the usual, the royal family will have a family banquet to celebrate, and then the next day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will hold a banquet in the East Palace to entertain the officials of the East Palace." A Xing said.

Zhuo Zhaojie thought for a moment and said, "Can you bring your family to this banquet?" ”

Ah Xing was surprised: "Does the lady want to go?" She groaned, "In previous years, the princes and marquis only brought Hachiro and Shen Langjun over. ”

So, can you bring it?

Zhuo Zhao's program cooled down, before returning to Chang'an, Ban said that Marquis Min Ping intended to marry himself to Tang Cheng, the third son of the crown prince, since arriving in Chang'an, this grandfather has not paid attention to himself except for the first day when he happened to catch him back to visit, Zhuo Zhaojie has not thought about it, is You going to be wrong, is Ban too frightened, is it the grandfather of his relatives, so as not to push himself into the fire pit?

But now......

She took a deep breath, waved everyone away, leaving only Ah Xing, and said in a low voice: "Do you know Tang Cheng?" ”

Ah Xing was surprised: "What did the lady mention him for?" ”

Listening to this tone, he is not a good person, Zhuo Zhaojie's hand clenched silently in his sleeve, and said softly: "What kind of person is he?" ”

"This Tang Cheng ...... He is the third son of His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Prince's favorite Green Hime, because he is the youngest son of Green Hime, he is particularly favored, so ......" Ah Xing thought about it and considered the wording, "So this Langjun is a little out of shape." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie said: "What's not going on?" ”

A-Xing seemed to be hard to say.

Seeing that Zhuo Zhaojie's face was not good-looking, she said: "I heard that this Langjun is as good as Shijia Wulangjun, and ...... He's so many......"

Zhuo Zhaojie's face 'color' has changed greatly!

Cold sweat oozed from her forehead almost immediately, and she said, "Are you serious?!" ”

"The maid heard that this Lang Jun was drunk at the second banquet, so he took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, but he didn't want to, but he took out a handkerchief with red silk pinching gold thread embroidered playing with water and mandarin ducks falling heavy spikes...... "Ah Xing swallowed and said embarrassedly, "The people who originally sat at the same table laughed at him for being 'glamorous' and not blessed...... I don't want someone to have sharp eyes and recognize the handkerchief later...... It is clearly the party that a young musician named Dong Qi often leads in the workshop...... While this Lang Jun was not paying attention, someone with good deeds stole a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that there was a silk thread embroidered with Dong Qi's surname in the corner of the handkerchief......"

Zhuo Zhaojie almost didn't faint!

She trembled and held on to the long case beside her, Ah Xingdeyou's order was to try to persuade her not to associate with Ning Shaobi, and at the same time try to ruin Shen Dangu's impression of Zhuo Zhaojie, but she didn't know why Zhuo Zhaojie suddenly asked Tang Cheng - this Tang Cheng's male 'female' is not taboo and is a let go.' Dang', once participated in Princess Yikang's 'spring' banquet, always caused trouble, the princess thought he was defeated, and never invited him again, it is said that Zhuo Zhaojie should not have seen this person, Ah Xing was pondering the reason why Zhuo Zhaojie asked this person, and suddenly saw that her look was not right, and her face was green and white, and she was angry for a while, and she was suddenly shocked and lost her color, and quickly held it up, and shouted: "Lady? Don't scare the! ”

…… Fortunately, Zhuo Zhaojie was young in the end, although he was so angry that he died, Ah Xing served a cup of hot tea in fright, and after drinking it, his face gradually eased, but Zhuo Zhaojie's eyes were cold, and he said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's birthday is still half a month away...... What day is it? ”

Ah Xing hurriedly said: "It's the nineteenth of next month." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie lowered his head, thought for a long time, and said tiredly: "Wait for me to change my clothes...... Let's settle. ”

Ah Xing vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she didn't dare to ask more now, and said cautiously: "Yes." ”

After Zhuo Zhaojie fell asleep, Ah Xing and Ah Li told each other, and went out of Jinghong Tower alone and found Nian Ci Tang - at this time, Zhuo Fangli and You also slept, she didn't dare to disturb, so she found Aunt Mao's residence.

Aunt Mao was also very surprised when she came, and said, "How is Qi Niang?" ”

"Auntie, I'm here for this." Ah Xing frowned and said, "The lady seems to be a little wrong." ”

Aunt Mao hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Qi Niang?" ”

Ah Xing groaned and said: "After listening to my hint, the lady seemed to want to go to the prince's side at first, but then she asked Tang Cheng - how could the lady know about this person?" During the 'spring' banquet, I kept following the lady closely, and I didn't see anyone mention Tang Cheng to her at all! ”

Aunt Mao knew a little bit about this matter because she had read the letterheads exchanged between the You family and the Ban family, and said: "Qi Niang knows that Tang Cheng is for a reason, don't ask about this, you just say what it looks like now?" But you plan to cut off contact with the one who is the Marquis of Yongcheng, at least for the time being? ”

Ah Xing smiled bitterly and said: "After the lady asked Tang Cheng, she seemed to be extremely shocked, my aunt didn't see the lady in a cold sweat, I was frightened next to me, aunt, you said that if something happened to the lady at that time, Mrs. would not have to peel off my skin?" ”

Mao Gu was also taken aback, thinking badly, when she first taught Ah Xinghua, she only cared about bringing Shen Dangu by the way, implying that Zhuo Zhaojie, the young man of the Shen family, was a person that Min Pinghou was very fond of, since Zhuo Zhaojie didn't trust Min Pinghou, of course, he couldn't have any thoughts about Shen Dangu, but he forgot what Ban had casually said at the beginning, which would scare Qi Niang too much...... She settled down and asked, "What about Qi Niang now?" ”

"After being scared, I poured water for the lady, and the lady got better after drinking, but the face was still ugly, and I looked at the lady as if she was angry...... Anyway, the lady was very unhappy, so she called the placement directly, and now that she is asleep, I just came out. Ah Xing said, "I only hope that the lady will not have nightmares tonight...... Ming'er is a 'fine' and 'fine' god - the lady does not have the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng. ”

Aunt Mao frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "You go back to serve Qi Niang first, I know about this matter, now that Mrs. and Lord Lang have fallen asleep, I will talk to Mrs. tomorrow morning." ”

Ah Xing said timidly: "If the lady has a nightmare at night...... Auntie, what do you think I should do? ”

"Don't sleep after you go back, go to the small kitchen behind Jinghong Building, ask Ge Shi to get up and make a soothing soup, put it in the pot and cover it, if Qi Niang has a nightmare, you can go and serve her to drink." Aunt Mao said, "I will break it down for you in front of Madame, I really can't blame you for this matter." ”

Ah Xing was relieved to get her such a promise, thanked Aunt Mao, and left.

Leaving Aunt Mao depressed - she wanted to share the worries of the You family, but she didn't want to make a mistake, but now she wants to make the You family worried......

Yongxingfang, the moon stars are scarce, and the sound of bangsheng has knocked three watches.

The lights in the Zhuo family courtyard are still there.

Marquis Min Pinghou did not have to 'wait' for the concubine this night, but was served by the scholar to concentrate on correcting the official documents, until Zhuo Pian, the head of the other courtyard, personally brought in the supper, and then put down Zihao and gently stretched his muscles.

The supper is very simple, but it is a bowl of osmanthus 'flower' glutinous rice porridge, put aside two spoonfuls of honey, not to mention the supper in the Hou Mansion, in Chang'an, many rich families feel shabby, but Min Pinghou can't see any dissatisfaction, he gently blew away the heat of the porridge noodles, slowly took a sip, swallowed, and said: "Say it." ”

Zhuo Pian, who was standing next to him, said first: "Yes." ”

Only then did he continue, "According to the words of the 'waiter' guard who went to Moling with the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng, Xiao Qi Niang had already met the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng when he was in Moling, and because of the Xie family from Xizhou who taught Xiao Qi Niang Pipa, Xiao Qi Niang was also taken captive by the same 'door' of the Xie family, the 'female' thief called Chen Luojia for a few days, and then by coincidence, he was rescued by the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng, and lived temporarily in the eldest princess's other business for a few days, and returned to Youjia in the name of Xie Shi's rescue. ”

Min Pinghou listened indifferently, and used porridge for a while before he said, "Is that the wine bead case?" ”

"Exactly." Zhuo Pian Shen 'groaned' and said, "Junhou, a certain family thought that this case may not be without inside information, and they have already sent someone to Moling to investigate in detail. ”

Seeing that the Marquis of Minping bowed slightly, Zhuo Pian said again: "This time the second lady was plotted, and it was also done by the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng, it is said that it was because the second lady and the little county lord of the King of Jin first found the trouble of Xiao Qi Niang, and after the Hou Shizi of Yongcheng learned about it, he set up a bureau, Junhou, do you want a certain family......"

"No need." Marquis Min Ping swallowed the porridge and said calmly, "Ning Shaobi has suffered for others this time, and this matter should be done by the King of Zhending." ”

Zhuo Pian was taken aback, and Min Pinghou said to the scholar who had been silent and concentrating on studying ink: "It's no wonder to you about this, you have been in the matter of Chaning Shaobi and Xiao Qi Niang for the past two days, and the flaw in Erniang's matter is in Chang'an, not Zhuo Xiang, the king of Zhending County, you tell him." ”

The scholar nodded, and said briefly: "The day before yesterday, Zhao Shi sent someone to find the 'Zangzhen Building' in the West Market, bought a few pieces of crows from the town shop, and ordered a batch of pearls and cui to the shopkeeper, and when the caravan of the Zangzhen Building arrives next year, it will be 'delivered', and the Zhao family also sent someone to Quanzhou with a huge amount of money......"

There are many seafarers in Quanzhou, and businessmen from overseas come with all kinds of rare treasures, and exchange them for silk, tea, porcelain and other things with Da Liang - but the Zhao family is not a businessman, and there is no jewelry shop under their names.

The lady Zhao, who died because her father saved her grandfather and lost her childhood, was particularly favored by her grandfather, but she personally said that she would not marry the king of Zhending County......
