Chapter 154: Mrs. Cheng's Request
154 Constitution Lady's Request
From the bow competition in March to the present, at the time of the court meeting, the Taiji Hall was empty for more than a month, and there were people standing on it, which inevitably made people look at Li Tai a few more times, and sighed in their hearts.
Not to mention, let's talk about recently, on the morning of the seventh day of the first month of April, Fang Qiao presented a case of the big library, in just a few days, the beginning and end of this strange case, in the court where gossip is popular, it can be said that everyone knows it.
Although the emperor punished Gao Zhixian for half a year because of the unfavorable handling of the criminal department, and only rewarded Fang Qiao alone, he didn't know that the murder case of these 28 lives could be solved, thanks to the princess newly married by King Wei.
This is called the people who were still stealing fun because Li Tai married a down-and-out family, and the people who were waiting to see the jokes were not a taste for a while: look at the luck of the king of Wei, the maternal line has no arm help, but the holy favor can make people look at it, and he married a wrongful relative, and as a result, he is still a helper, how can the bad luck of others become a good thing when he comes to him?
In addition to Li Tai's eye-catching, there is another surprising thing - Li You, the king of Qi, was promised by the emperor not to be an official, and from the moment he is clear, he will be able to live in the Chang'an City Mansion in a bright and bright manner
You must know that this is the second special case among adult princes, after Li Tai. After the courtiers listened to this holy edict, they couldn't see the slightest clue from the face of the emperor present, but they thought in their hearts, what does this mean, could it be that the concubine in the palace has been favored again? Or the five princes, who have never been treated very well, where did they get His Majesty's eyes again?
At the behest of Li Shimin, Li You's attack on Yanying Bridge late at night and his fall into the river were tightly covered, and no one went against the emperor to promote the privacy of this royal family. And Li You's amnesia was later reported, but it was because he hit his head, as for whether it is true or not, it depends on whether the people who heard about it believe it or not.
The return gifts were sent out, and all the prefectures sent people to thank them, the Lu family still had a few relatives in the capital, and seeing that Yu Yu hugged such a thick thigh in the Wei Palace, naturally some people had other ideas, and after three or five days of work, Yu Yu received seven or eight posts, either inviting her to have tea, or inviting her to a banquet, all kinds of reasons.
For these halfway relatives with a "clear purpose", Yi Yu didn't have the mind to deal with it for the time being, so she politely rejected them, but this morning Cheng sent a name card from Mrs. Cheng's house, she immediately wrote a letter in person, inviting Mrs. Cheng to come to the palace tomorrow.
What Mrs. Cheng asked her to do, in fact, Yu Yu had a faint feeling, but after talking face-to-face, she realized that she was thinking simply-
"Yu'er, there are no outsiders, I still call you like this in private, right?"
"There is no need to see me outside," Yi Yu looked at Pei Cuiyun's face, this woman was a little longer than her mother, but when she came back from going out for two years, she obviously found that this woman was aging a lot, the fat powder could not cover the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and her complexion was not very good.
"Good Yu'er, I really didn't have a way to come to you to discuss, you are the best girl with Xiaofeng, can you help me persuade her?"
His eyelids jumped twice, and Yu Yu asked, "You mean?" ”
"Xiaofeng is about to be nineteen years old, but she doesn't even have a doorman, it's been rumored hard enough, her reputation is about to be lost, what can she do if she doesn't marry again," Pei Cuiyun took the hand of the remaining jade on the case, and said what happened back then:
"A few years ago, I mentioned to your mother that if your brother is still here, these two families can be regarded as close to each other, but my family Xiaofeng is not blessed, and Lu Zhi's child will go like that. How can I, a mother, not understand that she is uncomfortable, and I didn't force her in the first year, but seeing that she is old, why can't I be anxious? I won't tell you the truth, I forced her once before, but she was a dead-eyed person, and she even threatened her with broken hair, and refused to agree to marry her, Yu'er, you are now married, and you should know how this girl can do it if she doesn't marry when she reaches her age. She listens to you the most, and you help me persuade her, as long as she is willing to marry, she is looking for a cripple, and I will admit it."
"Auntie," Yi Yu patted the back of her hand in turn, "Don't worry, I will persuade her," and pulled a smile, "You too, what a cripple, Sister Xiaofeng is such a good girl, and she can make a champion." ”
Pei Cuiyun didn't expect her to be so easy to speak, and when she was happy, her sadness was halved, and she actually laughed with her, and Yiyu offered to help her take the pulse in a timely manner, Pei Cuiyun heard from Cheng Xiaofeng that she was capable, and she had plans to look for her, so she took advantage of the situation and lifted her sleeves.
Yiyu asked her for some details of daily food and accommodation, and diagnosed that she was suffering from a lack of blood and insufficiency, so she asked Pingtong to take a pen and paper and write a prescription, and asked her to go upstairs in the Jade Courtyard to grab medicine, and took advantage of this emptiness to correct Pei Cuiyun's habits of food and lodging, and banned her from a few foods.
"Look, I'm here to ask you to do something, and I want you to take care of your illness without saying anything, but I still take it and mention it, like something."
"You are still polite to me," Yi Yu took a few medicine bags in Ping Tong's hand and stuffed them into the arms of Pei Cuiyun's attendant, although these medicines are not much money in the eyes of big families, but they have to go to the pharmacy of the outside medical hall to catch them, in the end, it is more troublesome, and the medicines that Li Tai gave her to practice are all purchased from the south, I don't know what channel, the quality is more than thirty percent better than the ordinary pharmacy in Beijing.
"Then I won't be polite to you, you live in the palace, you don't lack anything, change Ming'er, your Uncle Cheng came back from outside, brought rare things, and I will ask someone to bring them to you."
"Hehe, okay, I'll thank you here, it's still early, there are some scenery in this palace, why don't I take you around, and you can stay for dinner at noon." The relict jade proposed.
"I thought, but unfortunately there is something else at home, I will definitely come to visit another day, and it will be eye-catching to say it."
Yu Yu smiled, "What's so good about this." ”
"You should be able to go to the Wei Palace," Pei Cuiyun scolded her, "Okay, I'll go, if you want to chat with me for a few more words, send me off." ”
"I just want to hear you talk about something interesting," Yi Yu took her arm, and the two of them went out of the flower hall, talking and laughing, and sent them to the door, seeing that the carriage was far away and standing in front of the door, Yi Yu restrained the smile that had been hanging on his face, was stunned for a while, and sighed.
Over there, Pei Cuiyun got into the carriage, looked at the medicine bag, smiled, sighed, and said to himself: "What a good child, but my Cheng family is not blessed." ”
"See a guest today?" Li Tai wiped his face, put the towel on the basin stand, took the herbal tea handed by Yu Yu and drank it.
"It's Mrs. Cheng," Yi Yu said while tying him with a cotton robe, "I saw that she was not good-looking, so I diagnosed her and gave her a prescription." ”
Li Tai didn't ask her what Mrs. Cheng meant, waited for her to tie his belt, put one hand around her shoulder, and took her to sit down on the soft couch, "Take you to ride a horse in the afternoon." ”
Yi Yu raised her eyebrows, "I heard Master Du say that the Literature Museum has been very busy in the past two days, why do you still have time to go horseback riding." ”
This thing is very funny, originally saw her look like she loves to answer and ignore Du Chuke, as long as she meets her every day, she must come forward to chat a few words, a few talks, she has found that this person is a "whoever sees bad will be worse, see whoever is good, the better" character, in the past against her, but she was regarded as the former.
was provoked by her, and Li Tai was not angry, "I said I would take you there." ”
"When did I say I was going to ride a horse?" Yi Yu wondered.
Li Tai glanced at her a few times, confirmed that she had forgotten, gently pinched her shoulder, stood up and walked out, "I'll go to the study." ”
It's time to eat, what are you going to do in the study, Yi Yuhu watched him out of the house suspiciously, turned his head and said to Ping Tong, "Then let's wait for a meal and send a pot of tea to the study." ”
Ping Tong hesitated for a moment and said, "There is bird's nest in the kitchen, why don't you send it over?" ”
Frowning, Yi Yu shook his head and said, "It's hot today, don't give him soup, don't overdo it, go and bring it to me." ”
It's really incomprehensible, Pingtong sighed secretly, turned around and went out.
In the afternoon, I didn't go horseback riding, Li Tai took a nap and went out, and Yu Yu sent Yu Tong to Cheng Mansion to deliver a letter and invite Cheng Xiaofeng to come over to play, which was also a coincidence, Yu Tong met Cheng Xiaofeng at the gate of the palace, and the porter of the palace knew that Miss Cheng was good friends with the princess, and she was also ordered by the stewards, so she did not stop Yu Tong from leading her into the mansion.
Yi Yu heard the report from the maid in front of her, so she quickly cleaned up, went to the flower hall to meet, and heard her laugh when she raised her feet and entered the door:
"It's good that I'll turn a corner halfway to find you, otherwise you won't send an empty letter."
Seeing that the refreshments used to entertain the distinguished guests had been placed, Yi Yu was satisfied that the people in the mansion had eyes, glared at Cheng Xiaofeng with a smile, and sat next to her, "It turns out that you didn't come to me specifically yet, say, where are you going?" ”
"It's not that Qi Datou," Cheng Xiaofeng said angrily, "A few days ago, I made an appointment to take me to meet a good horse, but it turned out to be me, I arrived at the place, and I didn't even see a figure, I'm angry, it's a hot day."
Qi Datou? Yu Yu was confused, "Who do you say?" ”
"It's the Qi Zheng of the Literature Museum."
"Ahem," Yi Yu choked on the tea, looked at Cheng Xiaofeng curiously, didn't know when these two people got along, and scolded with a smile, "He's a bachelor in the Literature Museum, you call someone big?" ”
Cheng Xiaofeng angrily broke his snack and said, "I'll just say that he is a wronged man, he pays money out of his own pocket, when he is a good person, he is a guy who does not keep his promises." ”
"Well, as far as I know, Lord Qi doesn't seem to be a person who doesn't believe in his words, probably he has something to delay, don't be angry first, just see him another day and ask." Yi Yu reassured that Cheng Xiaofeng's friends were all over the place, and she was not surprised that the two would intersect, because she was worried about Mrs. Cheng's entrustment, she didn't think much about it for a while.
"Don't talk about him, bad luck, go, take me around the palace and relax, I heard a few jokes to tell you yesterday," Cheng Xiaofeng stuffed the crushed dim sum into his mouth, pointed to a plate of pear slices on the table, and said to the little maid on the side, "Serve this too." ”。.。
