The arrival of the eldest grandson Xian and others seems to be just an episode in this ceremony, and Yiyu carried out three plus three bows with the help of Cheng Xiaofeng and Mrs. Cheng.

Scattering his hair, Cheng Xiaofeng carefully combed the hair of the relict jade, and once again formed a double bun that symbolized innocence.

After Mrs. Cheng added a flute for her, Yiyu went to Xiaodongxiang to change into a plain dress matching a hairflute and came out, showed it to the visitors, and then walked to Lu's face, knelt down, and bowed to the ground seriously.

This time, it is her most sincere bow, she has been in this world for eleven years, it is this woman, working in the fields, carrying water and chopping wood, sewing clothes under the moon, raising her, making her childhood in the countryside worry-free, and letting her heart settle in this other world.

"Thank you for your nurturing."

Lu Shi looked at his daughter who kowtowed in front of him, his eyes unconsciously flashed with a layer of tears, and he always looked forward to the day when she grew up.

"Hurry up." Lu leaned over to help her, although it was such a day, how could she be willing to kneel more. Yi Yu stood up, looked at the Lu family, glanced at the nurturing feelings, pressed lightly on the back of her hand, and then turned around and sat down behind the small case in front of the ancestral hall.

Mrs. Cheng cleaned her hands again, took the hairpin handed by Cheng Xiaofeng, and said loudly:

"Ji Yue Lingchen, Nashen Erfu. Respect for the majesty, the grace of the soot. Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and will always be blessed by Hu. ”

Cheng Xiaofeng removed the hair flute on her head and combed it again, this time forming a happy bun, symbolizing the innocence of cardamom years. With the addition of hairpins, she changed into a curved deep coat and came out, and bowed to the guests present, which was the second bow.

"Sister Xian, she doesn't look like the kind of person who doesn't understand the rules." The ** person sitting next to Changsun Xian turned his head sideways and whispered.

Changsun Xian didn't answer, but another ** person snorted softly, "You returned to Beijing late, and you couldn't catch up with the time when you saw that she didn't understand the rules, this Miss Lu's temper is so big, even the princess's face dares to refute, do you think she is really meek like this?" ”

"This, I just think that if she has a good character and can learn, it is a bit unfair for us to judge her with a bad word."

Eldest Sun Xian touched the ebony locket on her lap and glanced at the ** person who spoke, "Min Rong, didn't you come up with this idea, it just happened to coincide, and it was just taking this opportunity to publicize it to add momentum to our Errong Poetry Society, as for public injustice, it has been evaluated in advance, and you are talking about it now, isn't it too late." ”

Hearing her words, the woman named Min Rong looked at the dignified Yu who was preparing for Sanjia with a slight hesitation, and didn't say more, but the inappropriateness in her heart became bigger and bigger.

"On the auspicious day of the month, the first Canadian dollar is served. Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. ”

Cheng Xiaofeng dispersed the jade cloud bun, this time, the combing style is extremely complicated, she is skillful, the three-foot long hair of the jade is knotted into a large bun, symbolizing adulthood, Mrs. Cheng added a decent gold silk bead hairpin for her, she went back to the small east chamber to change clothes and makeup, this time, let people wait longer, and when they came out again, a woman dressed in begonia red was a beautiful woman, but it made the eyes of the guests on the table bright.

When she wears a plain skirt, she is a light and light little daughter posture, and when she is dressed in a deep dress, she is a dignified and comfortable girl's posture, and then this begonia red dress, with half makeup, is not a beauty of the national color and fragrance, nor is it the stunning color of the city, but it is a rare beauty in Chang'an City, light purple and reddish begonia color, too coquettish and vulgar, not everyone can wear it, biased on her, coquettish, she was forced out of three points of luxury

"Why do I look at this Miss Lu Er, it doesn't look like she grew up in the countryside at all, I've been to this and the etiquette a lot, I've seen both fat and thin, tsk, how can there be such a trace that people can't fault at all."

"If not, I heard that King Wei likes it very much, and he personally painted a portrait of her at the dinner......

The whispers below made a sneer appear in the eyes of the eldest grandson, looking at the relict jade who was kneeling towards the ancestral hall and saluting the spiritual seat of the ancestor of the Lu family.

After three plus three bows, Yi Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, was helped by Cheng Xiaofeng to stand up, returned to the velvet carpet and knelt down, Mrs. Cheng stepped forward, took the tray handed by the priest, took a delicate and small Ruyi hosta she prepared in advance, and pinned it to the bun with only one hairpin in the left jade.

"Add a hairpin, satisfied."

"Mrs. Xie." The relics bowed their heads slightly, did not dare to move, remembered the confession of the Lu family when bathing in the morning, before the Lijiao took the words, a hairpin ring on the head could not be dropped, otherwise it would be a loss of the gift and blessing of the person who added the flute, which was a big murder.

Seeing Mrs. Cheng's hairpin fall to the side, the driver on the side faced the south guest seat and said loudly:

"Please add blessings, blessings, and wishes—"

The female guests present stood up one after another, the older ones were courteous to each other, and the other half of the female guests had already stepped forward from the table, and after seeing who it was, they all stopped their movements and chased their eyes.

Yi Yu watched as Changsun Xian walked up to her, holding an ebony box in one hand, smiled faintly at her, and said, "Congratulations." ”

Yi Yu smiled back, vigilant in his heart, and listened to Cheng Xiaofeng, who was standing behind him, warned in a low voice: "Eldest Sun Xian, don't have any bad ideas." ”

"You think too much, I'm here to congratulate Tianxuan," Changsun Xian said, then opened the box in his hand, took out an object, and pinched it in his hand.

When she saw that thing clearly, Yi Yu's eyes immediately turned sharp, and she noticed the movement behind her, and quickly grabbed Cheng Xiaofeng's ankle with her backhand, not letting her be impulsive.

"What does Miss Eldest Sun mean?" Mrs. Cheng spoke before Cheng Xiaofeng, and her face was very ugly.

"Mrs. Cheng asked," Changsun Xian turned around and raised her hand, and the female guests present saw clearly what was in her hand, and there was an uproar - what she had in her hand was not a hairpin ring, but a thin stem and spike, and weeds could be seen everywhere on the ridges of the roadside fields

The eldest grandson Xian suppressed the noise in a bright voice, and steadily held the weed in his hand, "In Chang'an City, to the woman's pre-marriage and the prosperity of the ceremony, the number of guests, to measure the woman's virtue and character, however, there is no detailed explanation after the ceremony, can weigh its advantages and disadvantages, now I Errong Poetry Society will come up with a one, who has a woman before the ceremony, then check her origin, conduct, talent and learning, divided into six grades, and then replace the hairpin with flowers and plants, add a flute for the salute, and weigh its advantages and disadvantages"

These words were high-sounding, and the idea was novel, and the few guests whispered about it, but the eldest grandson Xian did not pause, and continued to say aloud:

"This first-class is a peony, and this second-class is a plum blossom, which is the top grade. The third-class is hibiscus, and the fourth-class is chrysanthemum, and these two are good products. These fifth-class ones are locust branches, and these sixth-class ones are the weeds in my hands," she turned to look at the remnant jade, her eyes sarcastic:

"These two are inferior."

The voice fell, and the guests were in an uproar again.

The book has clouds, grass, and grass that harms seedlings.

The Imperial Study

The smell of ambergris, which was supposed to be calming and restorative, is now filling the room, but it is full of dullness.

"The use of the inner treasury involves the privacy of the palace, how can the accounts be distributed to the public, and then involved in the case of theft of the treasury, isn't it a joke for the people of the world?"

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, no longer turning, his tone was unhurried, but he didn't allow for a beak:

"It is impossible to investigate this case immediately, those two internal officials were forced to ask, how can they do nonsense, they don't believe you, I believe you, and tell them to make trouble, don't follow the nonsense."

Li Tai's lips pursed lightly, knowing the last sentence is the point, whether it is his stolen treasury or not, if he does not "mix", it is a tacit acquiescence, in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, in order to cover up other things, in short, at the beginning, this black cauldron, even if it is decided, he will have to carry it.

In fact, at this point, he never thought about what so-called "innocence" he could get back in this situation, and he was more concerned about what this black cauldron was destined to carry in exchange for him.

Speaking of which, this is also thanks to the person who instructed Qi Zhongen to make trouble at the reception banquet, who provided him with the opportunity to exchange, as well as the sentence of the eldest princess of Pingyang, "mention", in the two years that Dayingku has been away from Beijing, in his name, I am afraid that there is more than 100,000 This "small amount", let him know the bottom line of the exchange.

Li Shimin saw that Li Tai was silent, and did not open his mouth to ask for innocence, when he was tacit, his eyes flashed, his expression softened, he sighed lightly, and said:

"This time I have wronged you, I love you very much, there is no reason to make you angry, you can rest assured, those two nonsense slandered your servants, I will not spare them. In addition, when I was still in the East Palace, Wang Qi was in front of him as a housekeeper, he had a deep temperament, his ambition was hidden, and he often encouraged himself with loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, and courtesy, so he would be a door-to-door gentleman for you, and you should respect him as long. As for your marriage, okay don't, I want to pick the right one, just let it be up to you, it just so happens that the queen left two female officials, both of whom are old monks in the palace, and I originally wanted them to enjoy their old age in peace, so I will send them to your mansion to take up their duties. ”

Envy and power, this is a compromise in disguise, but also the content of the exchange, to put an end to this first father-son dispute, who compromised first, who prevailed, it doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that the layer of window paper has been pierced, and then it can't cover up the hole left there.

Li Tai's eyes sank, and he bowed: "Thank you for the grace of my father, it is the sons and daughters who are in charge, and the Nekuz matter is big, how can it be easy to spread the public, slander and gossip, stop at the wise, the body is not afraid of the shadow, and the sons know that it is." ”

Who knows what kind of price will be paid behind these calm words, and even after a hundred years, it will become an indelible stain on his life.

After he finished worshipping, he didn't get up, knowing that his son was Mo Ruo's father, Li Shimin looked at the only son who could make him feel complicated, raised his hand and knocked on the desk, and said solemnly: "Pen and ink." ”

The eunuch, who had been standing aside and pretending to be deaf and dumb, stepped forward unhurriedly to study the ink.

After a cup of tea, Li Tai retreated, and in a moment, the dull atmosphere in the imperial study quickly dissipated, and the fragrance of ambergris became pleasant again.

"Your Majesty, the four princes have changed a lot when they come back this time."

Li Shimin picked up the brush in his hand and walked on the clean paper, "Change? He hasn't changed, it's just that you never really knew him. ”

"The eldest princess and Kui Xinglou, do you need to go again-"

"No need, as long as you don't cross that line, do everything you need to do well, and don't interfere with the overall situation, I can tolerate their small actions." There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was relaxed, "Has Curry taken care of it?" ”

"Soon, the day after tomorrow at the latest, the accounts will be filled, and the missing 800,000 will be removed, and if you don't check it in detail, you can't see the clue." ()
