"I think that when Qin Xiang cleans up the golden phase, he will also be unable to protect himself."

On the gray stone red pavilion, in the oblique light of the autumn sun, the bright red clothes danced slightly, Kong Xilin was a step behind the three princes, standing with his hands in his hands, his eyebrows were slightly raised, it seemed to have a hint of playfulness, he had insight into the thoughts of the three princes, and knew that he still wanted to fight for the Su family's daughter, and he was quite disapproving.

"Your assumption is based on the fact that Prime Minister Qin will oppose the reform of the Holy Lord, but if he supports the reform, ......"

"The resumption of the opening of the department will inevitably disintegrate the prime minister's control over the election of officials, and the interests are at stake, and Prime Minister Qin will definitely not approve of it."

"Don't forget, if the fourth child becomes a great treasure, the Qin family will be a relative, and the concentration of imperial power may not be beneficial to them." The third prince snorted coldly: "I can't give up the initiative to others." You must know that if you are lucky, you will definitely fail. ”

Kong Xilin groaned again, and finally reluctantly admitted that the three princes' plans for the rainy day were for the sake of the overall situation.

"But Your Highness, you originally 'admired' Aunt Su, and if you turn to 'admire' Wu Niang in the future, your intention is too obvious, and the queen will know that you have ill intentions." But he still poured cold water on it.

"That's why I have to find a way to get the queen to take the initiative to plan for me." The third prince smiled slightly, obviously having a plan.

Kong Xilin shook his head: "I heard that this Su family's fifth mother is more favored by her family than the eldest lady, and the eldest princess of Wei Guogong and the eldest princess will definitely not let her be a concubine...... Even if the Huang family's Wuniang 'dies of illness' in the future, the successor is not a yuan match, how can Wei Guogong let Wuniang be wronged? ”

For this question of "Mo Rebellion", the third prince laughed heartily, pointed at Kong Xilin and shook his head frequently, until Kong Xilin laughed annoyed and angry, pursed the corners of his lips coldly, and looked at the three princes dissatisfied, he really thought that the three princes' calculations were a bit of a fool's dream.

The third prince laughed exhaustively, sat on the bluestone bench of the Red Pavilion, put his ten fingers on his chin, and his eyes turned around: "Continue?" For concubines? You can figure it out! Huang's five mothers are not qualified to be my yuan wife. ”

Kong Xilin snorted lightly and reminded: "The holy decree has been issued, and the wedding date has been set." ”

"I heard that the fiancée of your wealthy merchant died violently? How did he die? Falling overboard, or falling from a building? It can't be raped and killed, right? Xiao Wu, you are really decisive. Compared with the things chosen by several princes and concubines, the people of the city are more enthusiastic about the cold-hearted and indifferent feelings of the concubines of Confucius these days - the fiancée "died violently", there are already rumors that Kong Xiao's five lives are hard to defeat his wife, plus he not only doesn't mind, but even lingers on the hook column, staying overnight in Qianrao Pavilion, if he is greedy for beautiful women, it is okay, but he is greedy for a small male actor, not to mention the aristocratic family, even the businessman is unwilling to give his daughter to the Kong family Golang.

"Your Highness doesn't want to follow suit, Jianning Houfu is not comparable to ordinary merchants, Your Highness is not afraid of leaking things and causing the Holy Lord to be angry." Kong Xilin's face was solemn.

The third prince waved his hand: "Some people don't want to see the Huang family's Wuniang as the princess, where to use me to do it myself." ”

Kong Xilin's eyebrows jumped: "Your Highness wants to borrow a knife to kill people?" ”

"Just one or two measures to remind that person that I don't mind having a bad reputation." The third prince raised his eyebrows, confident: "I still suspect that there are eyes and ears in the mansion that I don't know, and I don't want to entrust others, so I can only entrust this matter to you." ”

There was a whisper......

The two demons laughed at each other.

——

Since the marriage of the Holy Lord, the busyness of the Weiguo Mansion has increased by a few percent, and the Huang family has completely unable to spare time to entertain those invitations, because the visitors who come to congratulate them one after another, several times a day, and they are all known as "relatives and friends", all of them can not be lazy, even the eight golden flowers, these days of life are also extremely busy, from time to time to change clothes and makeup, and queue up to go to the ladies to socialize.

The ladies of the Confucian Mansion, the Zhen Mansion, and the Wen Mansion will naturally not lag behind, but Mrs. Kong did not talk about the three princes with interest, nor did she mention Su Xun's marriage.

Zhen Mo said that she was "sick", but this time she did not accompany her, but the Wen lady brought a few "invitation posts" to several daughters who were over twelve years old in the Weiguo Mansion, and repeatedly asked them to "must go".

When I opened the beautiful scenery and took a look, I saw the words "Lingshan Xiapu Garden", "Watching the Red Leaves" and "Tasting Tea and Poetry", and my heart was a chill.

Yichen's wedding date has been set, to be married at home, it is not good to show up again, so he politely declined the warm invitation of the Wen lady, the second mother is full of interest, when the trip to the scenery is not limited to the little lady, and there are several Langjun of Zhenfu, Wenfu, and Confucius, it is even more unbearable, and smiles.

Sanniang was not invited, and expressed her disdain coldly and arrogantly.

Siniang seemed to be a little interested in the "trip to Lingshan", but when she heard her sister of the same mother pulling the Wen lady to ask "Zhen Sanlang" how it was, she was immediately disheartened, and only reluctantly thanked the Wen lady for her kindness.

Yijing suddenly said: "It's still July, Sister Amo said that she would invite me and Sister Ayin to enjoy the autumn leaves, I was looking forward to the stars and moons, but I first looked forward to Sister Wen's invitation." ”

Wen's lady was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Ah Mo has been a little bad recently, and she can't work hard, so she entrusted me to arrange the autumn appreciation of Lingshan, Ah Jing rest assured, I can't forget Ah Yin, Ah Mo specially reminded me, saying that I would introduce more friends for Ah Yin, so that she could get acquainted with the nobles of Kyoto as soon as possible." ”

Erniang hurriedly praised: "Ah Mo is really warm-hearted. ”

Liuniang was very suspicious, and when the Wen lady left, she pulled Yijing away and whispered: "What trick does Zhen Si want to play?" ”

Liu Niang was only ten years old, and it was inconvenient to attend these gatherings, so Wen's lady did not send her an invitation.

Although Yijing knew about the disaster that happened in her previous life, the theory that Zhen Mo was the culprit was just her inference, and she couldn't be sure, so she had to say to Liuniang: "Maybe it's because I made a promise that day, and I don't want to break my promise, and the big brother will not go, so there is no need to worry." ”

Said Qi Niang, after Chongyang, she lived in the Manzi Garden arranged by the Huang family, the first time she lived in a secluded courtyard, only felt that it was fresh everywhere, and then she was hospitable and cheerful, thinking about leaving Beijing for several years, and the old acquaintance had not seen her for many years, so she put a table of delicacies in the small courtyard, a few sweet wines, and invited "relatives and friends" to gather for a day.

Since Xu's return to Beijing, he has to go to a banquet with Su Yi every three or five days, and he can't spare time to help his daughter Zhang Luo, but he doesn't want to sweep away Qi Niang's interest, so he discussed with Huang: "Seeing that my sister-in-law is busy with a pivot, it's not good to make trouble with you, but after thinking about it, Qi Niang should also get together with the little ladies of her relatives, and don't invite others, just invite Jian Ning Houfu, Chu Wangfu, and a few nieces and nephews of my mother's family, and hand them over to Qi Niang's nurse to prepare, no need to bother sister-in-law." ”

Huang hurriedly said: "I also blame me for being negligent, I should have thought of this...... Seeing that Chen'er is going to get married in June next year, she has been following me to learn the housekeeping these days, why not leave this matter to her to prepare, it is also an experience, what do you think of your younger siblings? ”

can have the best of both worlds, and Xu will naturally not refuse.

A few little ladies gather at home, it's not a big waste, Yichen only needs to waste some thoughts on dishes and fresh fruits, and others are just that, An Hui is the most picky, there are many taboos, and she is rude, for example, she hates pears the most, so she can't even see them, otherwise she will be furious.

Not everyone has to accommodate her, but as a host, it is also a kind of etiquette to take into account the likes and dislikes of guests, Yichen carefully listed An Hui's taboos, and tried to ensure that tea, dishes and fruits did not have "things" that she could not see.

Qi Niang's invitation was set for a certain day in mid-October, in addition to a few "good families", outsiders invited one, or Yijing proposed, she was a little uncomfortable, she wanted to meet Dong Yin, and asked carefully, what measures did Zhen Mo have during this time.

After the Winter Clothes Festival, the sky is becoming lighter and paler, the clouds are heavier, the clouds seem to be gradually brewing full of rain, low and wet, swept by the wind, falling rain and fog, when people look up, but they don't feel wet, but after all, they still know that a lingering cold rain may not be far away.

Yijing still discussed the nearest copy with Liuniang in the study, seeing that it was about to be right, it was estimated that the guests were almost there, and only then did they put on a gauze flower and bird cloak with rabbit fur rolling on the side, and the sisters walked hand in hand to Qi Niang's Manzi Garden, when they went to the porch, they saw Qi Niang busy tinkering with a bunch of tea bowls from a distance, but closer, she was full of frustration, looking at the tea in the cup and sighing.

Yi Jing smiled and asked, "Seventh sister, what's wrong?" ”

Qi Niang just paid attention to the two sisters, and stepped forward with a smile: "On the way back, I saw that Ah Wei showed her hand to 'order tea', and she was able to contain flowers and trees in the tea. ”

"Ah Wei in the mouth of the seventh sister, but the daughter of Imperial Doctor Jiang is talking about?" Liu Niang asked, full of curiosity: "I have only seen the record of 'ordering tea' in ancient books, and I know that my predecessors knew more about this skill, but I did not introduce it in detail." ”

"It's Mrs. Jiang."

Yi Jing felt slightly surprised, secretly thinking that Jiang Wei had this lost tea art, and said with a smile: "To say, today's small gathering, naturally Awei is indispensable, I only heard that she has a somewhat withdrawn temperament, and we don't dare to bother her after living in the house for so long, it is better for the seventh sister to invite her today, see if she is willing to come." ”

"Fifth sister doesn't know? Ah Wei has already entered the palace. Qi Niang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "On the day she and her grandmother left the trip, we were listening to the school, and I thought we missed it." ”

While asking the maids to put away the teacup, Qi Niang invited Yi Jing and Liu Niang to sit in the house, and explained: "Ah Wei's mother died early, although there is a brother above, but she is also traveling abroad all the year round, she only depends on Mr. Jiang for her life, the father and daughter often wander in the mountains and wilderness, and have no fixed place, Ah Wei has a shy temperament, does not like to talk to people, and gradually becomes more and more withdrawn, in fact, people are very good." ”

Yijing was very curious about Jiang Qinggu's father and daughter, who had the grace to save Yu Feng's life, especially Ah Wei, who had never known him in his previous life, so he asked, "I don't know how old Ah Wei is?" ”

"Just and Xu, although the Jiang family is not a prestigious family, but also practiced medicine for generations, the ancestors were quite worthy of the former Dongming royal family, and then the emperor had no way, just resigned, secluded in the city, Awei medical skills are also good, the best at medicine and dietary therapy, she wrote a few prescriptions to me, saying that long-term use can stay beautiful, and there is a wonderful method of hand protection, and when I have time to sort it out, I will also show it to my sisters." Qi Niang is a child of Oxfam and does not hide her selfishness.

Yijing asked again: "Why did she enter the palace?" ”

"Although the Queen Mother said that she was cured, her spirit was a little weak, Mr. Jiang proposed to massage the acupoints, because the Jiang family's medical skills were not spread, and Mr. was inconvenient, so he asked Ah Wei to wait in the Cihe Palace for a while." Qi Niang said: "Mr. has just arrived in Kyoto, and the residence has not yet been arranged, and Ah Wei has entered the palace as a place to be settled." If the fifth sister wants to get to know her, I'm afraid that it will take some time, and there will be opportunities in the future. ”

As he was talking, he heard a commotion outside, and Qi Niang said that it must be the guests who arrived, and only then did she get down from the kang, and saw the brocade curtain lifted, and a girl jumped in happily.
