The first day of the first month of March is indeed a good day for the wind and the sun to go out and make trouble.

The poplar alley in the outer city of Jinyang, at the beginning of the day, there are the cloth cloth people who are idle at home, and they are three or five groups of basking in the spring sun, saying that the oil, rice, firewood, and salt are short and many trivial, some are leaning against the fence, some are sitting in the small pestle, some are standing, some are squatting, in short, they are enjoying themselves, a piece of pleasure, suddenly heard a call, saying that Gong Daddy came to make trouble again, blocked the dignitaries outside the gate of Fang A, and immediately rushed to go, so that an alley was deserted, and only the water in front of the small courtyard of the Fang family was impassable.

This Gong Dad is the father of the Gong family, a fierce woman who is very troublesome to the King of Chu and his wife.

If you want to say that Daddy Gong, although he doesn't live in Baiyang Hutong, his home is not far away, and he is just a moment away from here, and the neighbors are also familiar with each other.

Gong Lao Dad Xing Er, there is a brother on his head, because he invested in the opportunity back then, he was accepted as an apprentice by a boxer, and he was quite skilled, and later he got the position of a family of eunuchs, known as Master Gong, and he was very face-saving in the four neighborhoods. And this Gong Dad is not as good as his brother, but because of his brother's support, although he does not have a serious business, he is better with many powerful and rich slaves, wearing a robe every day, and sometimes holding a white folding fan in his hand, showing a different style.

Even so, Father Gong did not bully others, and from time to time invited the idlers in the market to drink an old wine and eat a bowl of noodle broth, which made him a reputation for righteousness.

Father Gong has no children and only three daughters under his knees.

He didn't dislike his old wife because of this, it was useless, Father Gong was just a commoner in the end, his family was not rich, and he didn't have the qualifications and capital to take a concubine, so he had an excuse to divorce his wife in the name of having no children, and maybe no one would want to marry him.

For ordinary people, although the son is also important, there are many restrictions, and if the wife really can't give birth, he has to accept his fate.

But Daddy Gong himself really didn't think that he couldn't give birth to a son, but tried his best to pamper his daughter, hoping to get luck in the future and send it to the nobles to be a concubine, but Master Gong was making a living in the official eunuch's house, and he had a deep understanding of the internal affairs of the nobles, so he dissuaded Daddy Gong: "Those high-ranking officials and nobles, marrying wives are all famous, housewives have means, even if they take concubines, they are rarely outside, even if you take advantage of the loophole, maybe you will take the life of your niece in vain, if you are really sick, can you still sue the official?" Quickly dispel this kind of idea, it is better to find a commoner, as long as the son-in-law is honest and willing to work hard, and the family is well-off, maybe he can still handle it. ”

Father Gong was also very convinced by his brother, so he listened to the persuasion, and really married several daughters to ordinary homes, especially the Gong family in Baiyang Hutong, the oldest, the most pampered, and the best appearance, married Fang Ada, who was the most honest of the three sons-in-law, when Fang's father was still there, Fang Ada's filial piety to the Yue family every year also had more than ten taels of silver, although the Gong family could not be called brocade clothes, jade hairpins, gold and silver, in the eyes of the daughters-in-law of Poplar Hutong, it was also worth eyeing the hot generation.

But the Gong family made such an incident, and then eloped with someone, and the common people actually did not focus on how the princess of Chu was, and most of the people who scolded the shameless were still aimed at the Gong family.

This even tired the two sisters, and the life was originally peaceful, but with such a sister, she would be somewhat subject to gossip and incur dissatisfaction with her husband's family - even if it is a commoner, it is also about reputation, who wants to be criticized by gossip?

As a result, Father Gong had no confidence to go to his son-in-law's house to ask for flattery, and was even ridiculed by his in-laws, and his status plummeted.

He was naturally dissatisfied, so he followed the words of the Gong family, and insisted that it was the Fang family who framed the blood and spewed people, in order to repay the account and embezzle his daughter's dowry jewelry.

In fact, Father Fang was caught in a lawsuit, and Fang Eda pondered that his father-in-law had always had some dealings with the powerful servants of the powerful family, so he made do with most of the family wealth to Father Gong, hoping that his father-in-law could run for his father.

At this time, in order to "correct his name", Father Gong even cried in public and scolded Fang Adada for murdering the Gong family.

Although the neighbors of Baiyang Hutong have always known that Fang Ah is a great person, Father Gong also has the name of "righteousness", and has gathered a lot of friends with wine and meat to help him.

The day has been noisy until close to noon, and it has not ended, and the onlookers do not return home to cook.

Of course, there are people on both sides to help, but Fang Ah suffers because he is his own person, and those who come and go are also his own people, no matter his skills or tongue, he is not as good as the idle people in the market, and he fell behind again without accident, and he was so anxious that he was sweating, and he was quite a little anxious that he couldn't bite his tongue and vomit blood.

The blind Mrs. Fang was even more crying, only to feel miserable.

is in a daze, although the onlookers are crowded, although the discussion is hot, but many ears and eyes do not pay attention to this simple alley, there is actually a gorgeous soft sedan chair.

Or a few naughty boys, because of their height, after being blocked by the human wall, they couldn't see the lively center at all, gathered on the side of the road to play, and when they saw such a line of obviously rich and noble people coming, they were all stunned, holding their fingers and hesitating whether they should come forward to ask for rewards.

There was a woman, because she came late, and was about to squeeze into the human wall, when she suddenly heard a voice behind her: "This is in front of Fang's house in Baiyang Hutong?" ”

When the woman looked back, she was also dumbfounded—

The person who asked the question was the legendary daughter of the Seven Immortals? Look at the complexion as white as a pear blossom, the watery eyes, the delicate lips, the silk and satin, the jeweled hairpin in the hair, the placket, the embroidery on the skirt, ouch, why is it so lifelike?

The woman was so surprised, she pulled the clothes of the person next to her, but it was a man, who was watching the play with his feet crossed.

More and more people looked behind them and couldn't help but get out of the way.

Finally, a person with a little insight stepped forward to talk: "Isn't it Fang A, everyone, I don't know what happened to the girl?" ”

The "Seven Fairies" didn't pay much attention, turned back, stood in front of the sedan chair and reported: "Princess, this is the place." ”

The crowd gasped with a cool air, and many people raised their eyes to see the sun in the sky - let's go to the west, why did a princess appear in such a situation as Baiyang Hutong?!

Even Father Gong, who was jumping his feet, stopped scolding and turned his head in a daze.

Seeing that the sedan chair was gently put down, everyone noticed that the people carrying the sedan chair were all pro-soldiers in leather armor, and there was a long sword hanging from their waists!

An elder asked, "Could it be that Princess Chu is coming?" ”

"Seven Fairies" Xia Ke smiled and bowed, slightly rolled the embroidered curtain, and helped a young woman who was like a fairy, without a curtain fence, between those eyes, it was even warmer than this spring breeze, but all the common people did not dare to look directly, they all retreated and lowered their eyes, but their hearts were all measuring - this is not good, Fang Eda is really unlucky, married such a fierce woman, and implicated the princess of Chu, this must be a crime!

There are many timid people who sneak away quietly, but they are reluctant to go far, and they are still tiptoeing more than ten steps away, just ready to slip away at any time.

Not only was Fang Ah Da nervous, but even Father Gong turned pale.

The beautiful scenery fell into the sedan chair, but it was a moment of waiting, until the person on the soft sedan behind came out - but it was Jiang Wei.

An Ran gave birth to a daughter in the first month, Jiang Wei is still living in the Yin family, and she was only picked up by her today in Baiyang Hutong.

Naturally, he didn't come to ask for guilt, but he was treating Fang Laoniang's eye disease.

Fang Ah saw Princess Chu standing in front of him, gentle and kind, and those fairy-like maids did not hesitate to help his tearful old lady back to the house, the whole person was like an ice sculpture, his hands and feet were stiff, and he didn't know what to do.

It was still an elderly woman who reminded: "Ah Da is stunned to do something, the nobles are coming, and they don't bow down." ”

Seeing this, Xia Ke simply turned against the guest, went in and moved out a fairly stable chair, spread the brocade cushion he had prepared, and let the princess sit.

At this time, the courtyard of the Fang family was still congested with five neighbors, that is, Father Gong's group, and because he was stunned, he didn't react for a while.

After Yijing sat down, he didn't ask about the Gong family, but gossiped with a few elderly women, asking them what their children do for a living, but there are troubles, such trivial daily life, it seems quite interested, seeing that the princess is so gentle, those old women gradually let go of their courage, and actually sat on the bench where a few maids moved out of the courtyard from Fang's house, chattering.

About two moments later, Jiang Wei came out to reply, saying that Auntie Fang's illness was originally caused by anxiety and grief, and the needle was applied in time, supplemented by decoction, and it could recover after about a month.

Yijing asked Jiang Wei to hand over the prescription to Fang Ada, and asked Xia Ke to hand over dozens of medicines, so that he could treat his mother well.

Fang Ada's awakening was like a dream, and the seven-foot man cried loudly and insisted on thanking the princess for her help.

A bold woman with a long tongue asked in the crowd: "How does the princess know that the grandmother of the Fang family is sick?" ”

Yi Jing chuckled: "The affairs of the Fang family are known in the streets, and I have heard about it." ”

didn't stay long, didn't mention the Gong family from beginning to end, and didn't look at Gong's father, but personally instructed Mrs. Fang to recuperate quietly, don't worry too much, but there are troubles, no matter whether the palace or the Weiguo mansion, as long as the letter is delivered, you can get help, and praise Fang Ah Da is a filial son.

Leave the sedan chair.

Baiyang Hutong was completely boiling, and for a while, instead of blaming the Fang family, Princess Chu did not blame the Fang family, but the news of ministering suddenly spread, and Father Gong naturally evacuated in a gloomy manner, and from then on, he did not dare to ask for an explanation for the Fang family.

Until many years later, the neighbors of Baiyang Hutong still talked about this - we have witnessed the true face of the princess of the auxiliary government, a few steps away, it is really like Guanyin Bodhisattva, Fang Ada's old lady, that was cured of eye disease by Mrs. Wei's own needle, and she lived until seventy, and she could see clearly if there was a mosquito flying by ten zhang away! Let's just say that Fang Ada, it is really unlucky to spread the Gong family's wife, but because of the encounter with the auxiliary princess, he didn't marry the daughter of a merchant family later, and also helped him to be the big shopkeeper.

At least in Kyoto City, no one questioned Princess Chu's "innocence", and the discussion boiled even more, and all she said was good things.

However, Yijing also understands that the turmoil of this matter has not calmed down.

At the end of the day, she returned to Luqing Garden, heard that Yu Feng had already returned, was sitting by the lotus pond in the backyard and tasting tea, when the beautiful scenery went, she saw a green dress, did not wear a purple crown, and only inserted a fat jade hairpin without carving on the meticulous bun, leisurely leaning on the chaise longue, letting the sun shine on the robe, between the slender fingers, holding a spring tea.

He seemed to be admiring the lotus pond outside the pavilion, but the lotus pond was still silent, only the slight lan was few, and the dwarf bamboo in a corner was reflected.

This water pavilion is a favorite place in the middle of summer when the cardamom is beautiful, but it is rarely left in the spring.

But she was standing here at this time, quietly looking at a scene, sitting alone leisurely, and suddenly fell in love with this picture.

"The plum blossoms of Guan Sui Yuan are all over the ground at this time." It was Yu Feng who discovered someone who "voyeurized" first, and when he looked back, he didn't say this situation.

"Even if you go back at this time, it's okay." Yijing only said that this was his intention.

Yu Feng smiled lightly, beckoned, and asked people to come and sit with him, rolled up his sleeves and poured tea, and his smile was still slight: "Don't worry, I like your realm, the phoenix tail forest forest dragon is fine, at that time I often came to look for you to play, but because of etiquette, I have never stained the backyard, this time I can make up for it." ”

After a cup of tea, Yijing listened to Yu Feng talk about the day's achievements.

She asked, "Is it really calm?" ”

Yu Feng smiled: "Mrs. Qin just saw her grandmother, and she actually proposed to make Qin Ziruo a side concubine, the words were very good, what did she use her lips and tongue, and Qin Xiang had a loving heart in the end, and she couldn't bear to let Qin Ziruo be in trouble, so she said that if her grandmother was willing to fight for Qin Ziruo's position as a side concubine, Qin Xiang was willing to take the risk of having a gap with the saint to intercede for you and me." ”

Beautiful scenery but silent laughter.

Yu Feng became more and more cold: "This matter is by no means willing by Prime Minister Qin, it must be coerced by the Son of Heaven, which shows that even if the Empress Dowager warns first, the Son of Heaven has no intention of compromising, and there must be treacherous schemes, I guess ......."

"I'm guilty of death, and you have to choose." Yi Jing continued: "I guess ......"

After saying this, Yu Feng sighed helplessly: "The matter is not over yet, as long as the Empress Dowager does not show her attitude to the public and completely cuts off rumors and criticism, she will always be mentioned by speculative people in the future." ”

"Then the Holy Lord has helped us this time, the more he refuses to forgive, the more he will force the Empress Dowager to make up her mind." Yi Jing raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'll wait." ”

"Yijing, after this turmoil, let's go to Dongyuan and wait quietly for two days, okay?" The prince asked with a smile, looking forward to it.

The princess: "Yes. ”

She lowered her eyes to taste tea, and looked away, never catching the fleeting melancholy in Yu Feng's eyes.
