Chapter 20: Household Tricks

Everyone laughed once, because the people had already arrived, and it was nearly noon, the king of Zhending County ordered a banquet, and the delicacies 'jade' and flowing water were also sent, and Zhao Caolu called the Kabuki people raised in the palace to come up to help the fun.

It's just that Zhuo Zhaojie has enjoyed a few times of singing and dancing, but he saw that although these performers have good singing and dancing skills, they are all unsatisfactory. The dress of the flowers' branches can say at most that her appearance is mediocre, she sighed in her heart, secretly thinking that these kabuki people are afraid that Zhao Caolu arranged them, but this is also a common thing, that is, to replace Zhuo Zhaojie herself, she was praised for her extraordinary appearance when she was a child, and now she and Ning Shaobi just have honey to mix oil, even so, ask her to choose this trick, she is not happy to choose the 'color' and art - when she returns to the 'door', the eldest lady pulls down her face and puts Zhuo Zhao' Yan's lesson told her, so that she must pay attention to such a situation, let her be careful, if there is such a sign, you must immediately try to get rid of the person, so as not to stay for a long time and become a disaster, it seems that Zhuo Zhao's 'Yan' just didn't take it to heart at first, thinking about giving Yao Fang Shangguan face, leaving it for a while before it falls, otherwise he will send people away early, as long as Yao Fang doesn't have a mind about the 'girl' sent by Shangguan, it's not a big deal - in the end Zhuo Zhao' Yan's father has a son, not to mention that the wife disposes of the people in the backyard, which is the most reasonable, and the wife of this dynasty has the support of the queen Chunyu, Yao Fang's boss even knows it, and he can't do anything, at most, he says behind his back how the subordinates he admires are just jealous of the 'woman'.

As a result, Zhuo Zhao 'Yan' thought about Yao Fang, so he thought about it and put himself into it, but now Yao Fang was really 'fascinated' by the 'female', Zhuo Zhao's 'Yan' was sad for himself, and the other was worried that if he was told to Queen Chunyu by his colleagues during the annual examination, it would be very good not to say that he was promoted, and it would be very good not to be demoted, so Zhuo Zhao 'Yan' wrote to his mother's family, in addition to telling his grievances, but he still had to think about the relationship between husband and wife and the future of his son's 'daughter', and asked his mother's family to help cover up for Yao Fang......

It's a misstep and a hatred for the ages.

Zhuo Zhaojie was watching dancing and listening to songs here, while thinking about things, halfway through a Luofu 'spring', he suddenly found that Ning Shaobi hadn't spoken for a long time, and thought to himself, could he have been stunned? I didn't know that when I turned around, I saw that it was empty next to me, and I couldn't help but be stunned.

I heard Zhao Caolu smile and said, "Qi Niang wants to find Jiulang?" Shiro had something to discuss with him, and now they all went to the study. ”

When Zhuo Zhaojie heard this, she subconsciously looked around, and sure enough, now there are only the 'women' relatives left, including Shi Caifeng, all the men went to the study, and she immediately understood, the so-called celebration of Zhao Caolu's pregnancy today, I'm afraid it's just one of them, and the other is that the king of Zhending County wants to find them to discuss matters and find a reason to call people over.

At the moment, he tacitly said with a slight smile: "So that's the case, thank you Princess Jun for seeing it." ”

"What are you doing so politely? You can call me Sister Zhao as before. Zhao Caolu was in a good mood, scolded her, and said, "Fang Cai Jiulang didn't alarm you when he saw you watching the dance, he wasn't afraid to disturb me, let me tell you - this kid has been stubborn since he was a child, although I know that he has always liked you, and I only know that he is so attentive to this day." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie blushed slightly, and said angrily: "Sister Zhao is now a happy person, don't tease me everywhere?" Anyway, I'm kind enough to congratulate you today! ”

Zhao Caolu beckoned her to sit beside her, and said, "Okay, okay, I won't talk about you, it's easier for you to come over and let's talk - don't worry, Shiro and they are afraid that it will take an hour to come back." ”

Zhuo Zhao's program swept away, but saw Tang Qianxia next to him and Su Yuyan and Mu Kong Cicada together, as if they were fighting again, she is now out of the cabinet, not as comfortable as when she was a little lady in the Zhuo family, although she also helped He's take care of housework, but she is not a family member after all, and she is not afraid of getting drunk when she comes out to a banquet, and she is not afraid of getting drunk after going back. It was just right, so he moved to the seat of the head Zhao Caolu, but he refused to sit in the vacant place of the king of Zhending, and only asked someone to add a narrow couch on the side.

Zhao Caolu scolded her politely, and seeing Zhuo Zhaojie's insistence, he could only follow her, and said: "I really want to say it, don't be too angry with me, I haven't had much contact with you for more than a year, and what I'm most afraid of is that there will be a gap because of this." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie smiled and said, "If you want to talk about this, we really haven't seen much in the past year or so." ”

"Being a 'woman' is always like this, when I went out of the cabinet, I heard my grandfather pull me and tell me that being a 'woman' is always not free, then I didn't think much about it, and I didn't know until I really became the princess of this county." Zhao Caolu sighed, and Zhuo Zhaojie said, "Sister Zhao is right-aren't you very good now?" I think the king of the county treats you well, and now you have a body again. ”

Zhao Caolu pursed his lips and said, "It's not that I said it badly, it's just that I always feel that I am not as free as before." ”

"Then is Sister Zhao willing to live the old days, or do she like this moment?" Zhuo Zhaojie knew that she was very desperate for the King of Zhending, so he deliberately asked.

Sure enough, Zhao Caolu glanced at her and said, "I want to talk to you about a few words in my heart - can't you say something I like to hear?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie sighed and said, "This is Sister Zhao, you didn't make it clear, how do I know what you want to hear?" I said you're doing well now—you don't like to hear it anymore, do you want to say that I feel sorry for you? Shouldn't I be doing this errand, isn't the county king good enough? ”

"You ......" Zhao Caolu pointed at her, thought for a moment, but laughed, and said, "It's really not a family that doesn't enter a 'door', look at your strong words, it's Ning Jiu here!" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie smiled and said, "Why doesn't Sister Zhao be the same as the king of the county?" I can't say it, so I pulled Jiulang out, and I have been married for more than a year, and I am becoming more and more husband and wife. ”

Zhao Caolu smiled and begged for mercy: "That's it, I wasn't Ning Jiu's opponent in the first place, now that you have learned him, I don't dare to say anything about you, let's talk about peace, okay?" ”

So he changed the subject, "Do you think this class of kabuki skills is good?" The birthday of the eldest princess of Jiyang is in July, and at that time, she usually arrived at Cuiwei Mountain, and she is not in Chang'an - you are now going to the teaching workshop or those places in the north to buy people to train, Chenguang is a little tight, but if you meet a good talent, you can also play. ”

Because she saw Zhuo Zhaojie 'revealed' her surprise when she heard this, Zhao Caolu was also stunned, she understood after a little thought, and said: "In the Minping Marquis Mansion, because the family has not been separated now, these tricks are expected to be in the hands of your eldest aunt, these people are in the hands of the ninth class, and I didn't expect to tell you, Yongcheng Hou Mansion - Mrs. Yongcheng Hou went early, since she went, the only banquet held by Yongcheng Hou Mansion was when you entered the 'door', at that time, the trickster at the banquet was temporarily borrowed from the mansion of the eldest princess of Jiyang, and now you have passed." 'Door', there is a housewife in charge of the Hou Mansion here, and in the future, when there are festivals and things, there will be a banquet, where can there be less kabuki and maiko to help the fun? It's not a thing to always call from the church, so you have to raise a class. ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was reminded by her, only to wake up - now the scholar's family, almost every household has Kabuki people, these people will not necessarily have an affair with the master of the family, more used to entertain guests and entertain at the table, if there are guests who like it, open their mouths to ask for it, most of the hosts will also send it like this, and the furnishings are general, if no one fancies, the "servant" is served to more than 20 years old, and the old "color" is declining, and ordinary people will return the deed and give some money to let go out to marry themselves.

People with good intentions will also find a reliable home for them - this kind of family trick, of course, the Minping Marquis Mansion also has support, but as Zhao Caolu said, those people are all managed by the eldest lady, because they feel that they are not clean, even the family Langjun has to stop it, not to mention the ladies, never mention it, although Zhuo Zhaojie has vaguely heard a few ears, but since the 'door', I really didn't think that the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion will also raise a batch in the future.

At this time, he was stunned and thanked Zhao Caolu, and Zhao Caolu said: "You have only been through the 'door' for a few days?" I won't mention it today, the people around you will inevitably talk about it, in fact, you don't have to pay too much attention to these individuals, it's nothing more than a thing, after all, in the past, the people in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion were thin, and there was nothing to do, Yongcheng Hou wanted to entertain guests, most of them were outside, or in the eldest princess's mansion, and the eldest princess presided over for him, and now with your daughter-in-law, it is always something you have to 'handle', not to mention that Jiulang will ...... in the future."

Speaking of this, she seemed to smile meaningfully, but she didn't say much, but said, "The eldest princess likes this kind of excitement, and sometimes the saint sees a good kabuki person in the sect department, and he will send it to the eldest princess's mansion to serve the eldest princess." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie carefully figured out the unfinished meaning of her words, and when she entered the palace last time to thank her, the sage and the queen repeatedly told Ning Shaobi to go to school well, and there was a faint guess in her heart, but since Zhao Caolu changed her head again, obviously she didn't want to say more or it was inconvenient to say more, and she didn't want to ask, so she thought about going back and asking Ning Shaobi, so she said: "I see, I remember the first time I entered the palace, the queen mother was good because her mother praised the "'Spring' Warbler" danced by the teacher, and she gave a special reward, so it turned out to be like this. ”

Zhao Caolu nodded and said: "The eldest princess has a very high vision here, and ordinary skills can't get into her eyes." ”

Speaking of which, this trickster must be bought and raised, Yongcheng Hou and his son must be used for banquets, and it is also necessary to use it to coax the eldest princess of Jiyang to rejoice - it is not good if it is bad, even if she is not afraid of sweeping the interest of the guests, the eldest princess will not look down on it.

Zhuo Zhaojie thought about it in his heart, so he asked: "I have never been in contact with such a person, Sister Zhao said that the talent is good, how can it be talented?" ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter if we don't understand this." Zhao Caolu smiled and said, "Speaking of which, wouldn't it be very convenient for you to buy such a tricker?" Isn't the father of your fifth brother-in-law the same as Taichang Siqing? ”

Taichang Temple is in charge of music, and the teaching workshop is where its duties are located, and Juyang Bo will naturally not go to the layman of Kabuki.

"Then I don't want to trouble the elders for such a thing!" Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips and smiled, "Sister Zhao, tell me any experience first." ”

Zhao Caolu thought for a while and said: "Now these are the worst, I'll take you to see the good ones in a while, and then I'll talk to you in detail." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned, she thought that Zhao Caolu was worried that she would be taken advantage of after she became pregnant, so the kabuki raised in the county king's mansion were all bleak-looking, but listening to Zhao Caolu's words, it was not like this.

Seeing her look, Zhao Caolu came to her senses and scolded with a smile: "Where do you want to go?" It's hard for me to allow my family to have a 'color' in my housework, Shiro really thinks, are you afraid that there is no way outside? In that case, what's the use of watching these things at home? Besides, when the guests came, they saw that they were all such a trick that was not even a beautiful housekeeper, that is, at a banquet like this that was all their own people - otherwise, it would be said that I was jealous, and the second was that the banquet of the county king's mansion should also be said to be because these tricks have ruined the scenery, do you say that I am wronged or not? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was surprised: "Then ...... these people?" ”

Although there was a sound of bamboo to cover up, and Mu Kongcia was fighting wine over there, and he seemed to have no time to pay attention to them, Zhao Caolu still cautiously took a fan to half-cover his face, and whispered: "It's not for Shi Wu, that's why you specially took these people out?" Otherwise, I just don't like the house tricks to be too 'glamorous', so I always have to pick a few beautiful ones that can be seen? These are actually the ones that other people's families don't want to let out, and I bought them to teach those young housekeepers......"
