Chapter 111: The Poor Dagger (Middle)
The back garden of the Hou Mansion of Yangning was originally designed by a famous garden master in the south of the Yangtze River, and the living water was called Xiaoyuxi from Shichahai, and the pavilions and pavilions were all made by fine workmanship, which naturally made this garden landscape vivid and lively.
Entering from the door is a number of weeping willow locust trees, because of the age, the pavilion crown covers the garden, now this spring has pulled out the verdant buds and young leaves, as far as the eye can see, that piece of green almost covers most of the sky. More than ten steps along the trail, there is a lotus pond with a radius of several acres. Now it is not yet the season for the lotus to bloom, but the lotus leaves in the pond have been stretched out one by one, so that people can think of the time when the lotus flowers are different red at a glance. Passing from the curved wooden bridge on the lotus pond, there are several strange stones lying on the bank, and behind the strange stones is a small bamboo forest, and then you can see a high hall near the lake.
The name of the high hall is called Qingxuan, and there is a stage in front of it, which has always been the place where the ladies of the Yangning Marquis Mansion gather to watch the play. This is the first time that the Yangning Hou Mansion has issued a note called the opera troupe this year, so although the time is pressing, the housekeepers, daughters-in-law and mothers are still trying their best to prepare, but they are all ready to stop in two or three hours.
As today's real birthday star, Chen Bing does not have the temperament to get angry at every turn in the past few days, and he is joking and flattering around the Zhu family with a smile, and he is very energetic. When the play list was delivered, she sent it to Zhu with both hands, but said with a smile: "Why is the third sister so late?" Everyone is here, and she is the only one missing! ”
Zhu Shi took the glasses box officially handed over, took out the eyes that were rarely used, put them on, looked at the play list as if he hadn't heard Chen Bing's words, and said after a while: "Today is Bing'er's birthday, so it's better to order something fresh." ”
Chen Bing on the side saw that Zhu Shi was not talking, and his face showed a trace of dissatisfaction, but then he said with a smile: "Old lady, the head of the troupe just now, there is now a new play "The Legend of Handan", and their troupe has just rehearsed, why not this?" ”
"The Legend of Handan?" Zhu was surprised when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "That's the case, it's this play, we have to see what is new in this new play, if it's really good, I can't finish it today, and I will play it again tomorrow." Save yourself from worrying about watching a half-heart, and you have to think about when to find a reason to play at home! ”
Chen Lan, who happened to come over with Zhao's mother, couldn't help but fall into a daze when he heard the three words "Handan Ji" floating in the wind. Although this play is not as famous as "The Peony Pavilion", she still remembers the name of Linchuan Simeng, but she didn't expect that now that history has clearly embarked on another fork in the road, she can still hear this familiar name.
However, after all, she had only heard of the name "The Story of Handan", and she didn't know much about this play, so she took Zhao's mother to see Zhu's family, and after laughing a few words, the big play opened, and she took Zhao's mother to sit down a little farther away. Zhao's mother is not such an idle person after all, she only watched two plays and asked for her leave, and Zhu kept it a little, and soon let him go. After that, there were no outsiders, and the top and bottom naturally put their spirits on the big drama, while Chen Lan became more and more uncertain as the plot deepened step by step.
She originally wanted Yun'er to inquire about who wrote this play, but when she turned her head to look, she found that this girl who was babbling in the past was staring intently at the stage, looking selfless and selfless, and immediately dismissed this plan. Looking around, whether it was the Zhu family, the Chen Bing sisters, or Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Xu, everyone listened attentively, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.
She is still a modern person in her bones, and it is already extremely difficult to listen to the plot of this big drama that is suspicious of Kun's accent, and she really doesn't have much sense of identity.
Xu was looking around, Chen Lan suddenly saw that on the path downstairs, Chen Ying, who was dressed in casual clothes, was following a girl unhurriedly, and when he was about to go downstairs, he even stopped and looked at the Danjiao on the stage with his hands behind his back, and then disappeared at the entrance of the first floor. Although she had long known that the third uncle Chen Ying was coming back today, when she saw people at this time, the feeling of uncertainty in her heart became even stronger, so she unconsciously looked in the direction of the staircase. Sure enough, after a while, with the sound of deliberately lightened footsteps, Chen Ying's figure had already appeared at the staircase.
Because Chen Lan deliberately withdrew his gaze and only looked at it from the corner of his eye, Chen Ying glanced around and didn't find anything abnormal, so he waved his hand to the girl who had just led the way, and then stood at the end of the play with his hand in his head and listened quietly, listening to it, a thoughtful smile appeared on his face. Seeing that the play was almost over, he stepped forward lightly, and after taking a few steps, an abrupt good word came, and he looked in the direction of the voice, but it was Chen Bing who was smiling.
Because the master and the subordinates upstairs were listening to the play attentively, no one noticed Chen Ying's arrival, so when Zhu heard Chen Bing's good words, he didn't think he was angry, and nodded happily: "It's really good, reward!" ”
The daughter-in-law at the bottom had already prepared the reward, but she originally wanted to reward it after today's play, but now there was a reward from upstairs, and she was busy sealing a large string of reward money for a while. At this time, it had already been four plays in a row, and Zhu was also a little tired, so he stood up with the support of Chen Bing on the side, but when he turned his head, he saw Chen Ying. Seeing him come forward and salute respectfully, Zhu's eyes flashed, and then he nodded.
"I have lived in Yamen for more than ten days, and since I am back today, I will take advantage of Bing'er's birthday to relax and relax."
"Yes, thank you for your kindness." Chen Ying bowed again, and then glanced at Chen Bing, "It's just that I'm really busy and confused, and I forgot that today is Bing'er's birthday." Fortunately, I also brought back a few baskets of Poria cream just now, which was originally for the old lady, and I just gave a basket to Bing'er by the way. ”
"If only you had a heart."
As soon as Chen Ying came back, the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, which was something that everyone in the Hou Mansion knew, but Chen Bing was just hearsay after all, and he had never seen the situation of the needle against Mai Mang at that time.
When he came out, the slightly tired Zhu Shi ordered the play to be played again after a while, and asked Chen Bing to sit on the warm couch in the east room to rest, and just picked up the rose dew sent by the green calyx and used half a lamp, she heard a sound from the third master outside, followed by the thick curtain was lifted, and it was Chen Ying who entered the house again.
She first heard that Chen Ying, who had been in the yamen for half a month, was coming back today, but she was a little surprised, and she only felt a little unhappy when she saw people just now, but at this time, she finally felt a little wrong.
"What, when you come back today, you have something else to tell me?"
Chen Ying smiled slightly, glanced at Chen Bing, and then nodded and said, "Yes, I was supposed to be on duty in the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army tonight, but because I got a few news, I had to rush back." First, it is the matter of the Marquis of Dongchang, and the matter of the Marquis of Dongchang is said to be decided. ”
Although this was something that had been expected for a long time, the Zhu family was originally in a very good mood, and watched a few lively scenes, and when he was laughing and laughing, he suddenly heard such a news, and his face stiffened suddenly. And Chen Bing, who was still smiling beside her just now, was even more shocked, and exclaimed: "How is this possible!" If that's the case, won't Brother You be able to accept the knighthood? ”
"It's not just that you can't inherit the knighthood." Chen Ying accentuated her tone and said word by word, "The Marquis of Dongchang is imprisoned, and the Marquis of Dongchang's family naturally wants to be from the people. Although the prince of Dongchang Hou is a gentle son, he has never encountered anything after all, and he doesn't know if he can support the beams of the family. Besides, after the Marquis of Dongchang in the early years, there were many people who offended, and if someone took the opportunity to make trouble, the family might not even be able to stay in the capital...... After all, the two families are world friends, and the old lady will never sit idly by, so Zheng's mother probably went out to run, right? ”
Looking at Chen Ying's face with regret and sorrow, Zhu couldn't wait to pick up the half of the rose dew next to him and smash it out, but he still held back. However, Chen Bing on the side wanted to stand up in a panic, but his feet were unstable, and he sat back on the warm couch. After eating that force, Zhu finally came up in annoyance, and shouted at Chen Bing: "Okay, don't be an eyesore here, go out to watch your play!" ”
Although Chen Bing hated the Dongchang Marquis Mansion at the beginning, she had a good impression of the prince Jin Congyou, and she was very reluctant at this time, and after hearing Zhu's words, she was even more like a lightning strike, gritted her teeth and staggered out after clenching the handkerchief in her hand. But before she got outside, she heard Zhu's voice behind her.
"Don't be so pale when you go out, this is your birthday, don't let people see jokes! Green Calyx, you help your second lady out, and when you see Lan'er, let her go and get my Suhe fragrant wine! ”
When Lu Calyx stepped forward to help Chen Bing out, Zhu looked at Chen Ying, and said lightly on his face: "The Marquis of Dongchang Mansion and our Mansion are indeed world friends, and if you want to say it, you are also close, but Jin Liang does such a thing that hurts heaven and reason, and the law of the country and the law of heaven are not tolerated, and I am a woman, how can I interfere in the affairs of the court?" At most, when the saint is judged, he will help his wife and children. ”
"The old lady really understands the righteousness." Chen Ying had long known that the Zhu family would answer like this, so he just smiled in his heart, and then lowered his voice and said, "But Dongchang Hou Jinliang is pus-filled after all, in order to get rid of the crime, he said a lot of nonsense in Jinyi Wei Prison, and even involved you, the old lady." He said that in the early years, you paid the capital of the batch of tea in the private market outside the Saiwai, and later made a lot of profits, and you also got a share of the ......."
"He's talking nonsense!" The Zhu family was furious, and immediately glared at Chen Ying fiercely, "You don't have to bluff me with these, the emperor is by no means a gullible person, and he will never suspect a courtier because of the nonsense of a criminal minister!" ”
"The emperor won't." Chen Ying nodded in agreement, and her voice softened again, "It's just that if someone close to him has deceived him again and again, the emperor is no matter how good his temperament is, how can he bear it?" ”
