193 There is a lack of a lady in the house
What is not hidden, what is not acted, whose child has no secrets?
It's too early, what if you startle Ah Heng?
As long as she can marry Ah Heng back to her as a daughter-in-law, she said that she came to explain it to her today, that is, she will hide it to the end, and tell her on the eve of marriage, she can also sit up with a carp, change her clothes and comb her hair happily, prepare all the regulations overnight, and sit in the wedding hall on time on the second day and wait to drink her daughter-in-law's tea!
When it comes to marrying a daughter-in-law, who is not always ready, and who can not be able to adapt?
On the contrary, Xiao Mu had a little difficulty to adapt to his mother's emotional changes for a while, and was able to answer: "Mother is calm and calm, the matter of proposing marriage is still urgent, and it needs to wait until everything is settledββ"
Otherwise, this family affair will inevitably make the Ji family the center of the whirlpool, and even invite trouble.
After this reminder, Mrs. Xiao did calm down, nodded and said, "That's the truth...... Mother is not in a hurry, we must not harm our in-laws. β
Listening to his mother's natural change of words, Xiao Mu felt that the sentence "not in a hurry" was really not very credible.
"It's not in a hurry...... But be sure to pay more attention to it. Mrs. Xiao still couldn't hide her joy, and solemnly explained: "Whether it's Ah Heng or your in-laws, you have to be sincere enough, but you can't be careless about Jingzhou...... You know the art of war, you should understand the importance of it, right? β
Xiao Mu was silent for a moment and nodded: "My son understands." β
It's impossible to be careless, after all, the person he wants to marry, and he still has to choose.
"Wait." Mrs. Xiao's face suddenly straightened, and she didn't know what she thought, so she looked at him suspiciously.
Xiao Mu was puzzled.
"You're not trying to make me happy, are you?" Mrs. Xiao asked defensively, "...... Or is it because of your own wild speculation that you think that people treat you intentionally? β
Xiao Mu: "? β
Wouldn't he be so mad?
Facing the suspicious gaze, Xiao Mu said: "Mother is too worried, I respect her and respect her, how can I speculate on her intentions." β
Seeing that he looked serious, Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, so she once again demonstrated what it means to turn your face faster than turning a book-
"Good son, then you can talk to your mother......" Mrs. Xiao looked like she had eaten honey, and asked, "When did you express your intentions?" How did Ah Heng promise you this wood? Do you have any love tokens for each other? And ......"
"Mother-" Xiao Mu's face was slightly hot, and he coughed lightly: "My son still has official business to deal with, and I will come back tomorrow morning to say hello to my mother." β
As he spoke, he saluted and hurried out.
Mrs. Xiao: "You kid...... What other official duties are you doing at this hour? β
Aren't you just embarrassed to tell her?
But, who doesn't imagine it for themselves?
"Hurry up......" Mrs. Xiao beckoned to her henchman who walked in: "Quickly bring me those notebooks!" β
She needs some inspiration to stretch her mind!
β¦β¦
This night, Xiao Mu lay on his pillow, looking at the top of the bed, and the smile between his eyebrows never faded.
Hengyu also couldn't sleep for a long time.
There was moonlight leaking into the room outside the window, and she thought it was so beautiful that she always wanted to take a few more looks.
Today, Cuihuai didn't know what incense pills were thrown into the incense burner, and there seemed to be a hint of fruit aroma in the lightness, which smelled too much, and she always wanted to smell more.
The quilt had just been dried today, and it was really soft, so she hugged it and turned it over, and turned it over again.
The wishful knot hanging at the head of the bed was new, and she reached out and plucked it, the corners of her mouth always curling uncontrollably.
All in all, there were so many things to be happy with that her mind could not be quiet, and she finally closed her eyes for a moment, and when she thought of the cherry on the stone table under the moon, she couldn't help but open them immediately.
After tossing and turning like this all night, when he was teaching in the East Palace the next day, he had a pair of slightly tired eyes.
"Didn't the teacher sleep well last night?" During the recess of class, Lord Jiayi couldn't help but ask.
Looking at the child's pure eyes, Hengyu was inexplicably a little weak, "I dream a lot at night, and I don't sleep very well." β
"Then the teacher will go to the quiet room for a rest, right?" Lord Jiayi said: "I will read the two pages that the teacher just talked about, and read them carefully twice. β
"It doesn't matter." The bottom line of being a teacher cannot be lost, Heng Yu said: "It's not sleepy, it's not too late to rest after lunch class." β
"Then the teacher will sit down and eat tea first."
Hengyu nodded.
While the teachers and students were eating tea, the county lord of Jiayi said with great interest: "...... The envoys of the Persians also arrived, and the saint would set up a banquet in the palace two days later, and the envoys and princes from all over the world would be invited to the banquet. β
Heng Yu nodded when he heard this.
The princes and envoys from all over the place have arrived one after another, and according to the rules, it is time to set up a banquet in the palace.
"Teacher, shall we go over then?" The lord of Jiayi said: "I asked Ah Niang, and Ah Niang allowed - then let's go and see what those envoys from other countries look like, what they say, what they offer, but are there any strange treasures!" β
Seeing that her eyes were full of anticipation, Hengyu should come down.
When Ji Nanxian returned home in the evening, he also mentioned the palace banquet two days later.
Mrs. Meng has a fate, but in recent years, due to her advanced age, she has not often entered and left the palace, so this time she just smiled and said: "A handful of old bones, inconvenient legs and feet, so I won't join in the fun." β
After dinner, when he came out of the dining hall, Ji Nanxian quietly asked his sister, "Guess what Xiao Hou gave yesterday?" β
Hengyu didn't hesitate: "Gold? β
Ji Nanxian was surprised: "How did you guess?" β
Hengyu: "...... It's kind of a guess. β
"It's a golden lock for a child's life...... The golden locks were nothing, but they were a box full of golden locks, a full ninety-nine. "Ji Nan String Road.
Hengyu was still not surprised, after all, this was quite Xiao Jingshi.
She praised: "Ninety-nine, that's a good number." β
"It's not just a good number, it's a big number...... Even if you wear half a lamp every day, it will take more than three months to take your turn...... Yesterday I went home and opened it and almost thought it was a bribe! Ji Nanxian asked in a complicated tone: "Is this Xiao Hou so direct and generous in giving gifts on weekdays?" β
Hengyu nodded: "As far as I know, so." β
"Although this Marquis Xiao can be called a rich family in recent years, but this kind of attack is a bit of a loser......" Ji Nanxian was distressed for a moment, and was inexplicably glad, fortunately, it was just an alliance, not with his family.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say: "In the end, there is a lack of a lady in the family to take care of things, and the military generals are inevitably a little sloppy......"
said, looked at his sister, and said enthusiastically: "Xiao Yu'er, although you don't go to the official media yamen much now, but you have stayed for a few years, if you know which family has a suitable good girl, but you will lead Xiao Hou with a match?" It's also an old age, and it's not good to delay it like this anymore. β
Heng Yu smiled: "...... Hold it. β
"Oh? Which one? Ji Nanxian asked curiously.
Hengyu thought for a while and said, "When the time comes...... Brother will know. β
Seeing his sister's vaguely confident appearance, Ji Nanxian's heart was a little more stable - it seems that there is no suspense about winning or losing his bet with His Royal Highness the Prince.
β¦β¦
Two days later, the emperor set up a banquet in the evening, and the palace eunuch held the red plate fish in his hand and entered and exited the main hall, and the envoys of all countries and the princes and vassal kings were seated.
Wine and delicacies, marigold plates, silk music, exotic faces of dancing girls into the hall to dance, a luxurious and auspicious music.
Hengyu and the county lord of Jiayi sat in the same position under the crown princess, next to Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao leaned over from time to time and talked to Hengyu.
On such an occasion, the two of them had crossed paths in Yingzhou before, and if they were indifferent, it would be strange.
So, Mrs. Xiao took this opportunity to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
On the opposite men's seat, Xiao Mu also cast his eyes openly and frequently - after all, his mother was sitting there, and it was reasonable for him to take a look occasionally.
And under the cover of all the voices, there was another faint line of sight, which fell on Hengyu from time to time.
Among the children of the clan, King Hedong rubbed the wine glass in his hand, and there was a dark smile in his eyes.
Approaching many times but not being able to extinguish his interest, but arousing his mind more and more, this time he rushed to drink, and then looked at the girl sitting there, only to feel that even his heart was itchy.
"Lord, eat vegetables...... Princess Hedong beside him picked up the dishes for him, and her voice was soft: "Drinking alcohol alone is not good for the spleen and stomach." β
Hearing this, the king of Hedong felt bored and discouraged, and frowned impatiently.
Then he didn't know what he thought, his eyes moved, and he whispered something to Princess Hedong.
Princess Hedong looked in the direction of Hengyu, and her expression changed: "Lord, this ......"
King Hedong raised his eyebrows in displeasure: "How-"
"No ......" Princess Hedong clenched the silver chopsticks in her hand and lowered her head: "The concubine knows." β
The king of Hedong hooked the corners of his mouth in satisfaction and drank the wine in his cup.
Today, the eldest princess of Yongyang was also there, sitting on the side of the crown princess, and at this time, seeing that Gong E brought her a plate of cherries alone, she said with a smile: "This palace has been taking medicine recently, and I can't eat too much, so send it to Jiayi." β
Gong E responded, and then took the fruit plate to the food table in front of the county lord of Jiayi and Hengyu.
Hengyu looked at the eldest princess of Yongyang, only to see that the eldest princess gently raised her chin towards her, as if signaling her to eat more.
"Teacher, this cherry is so sweet, you can eat it too." Jiayi said beside him.
Heng Yu nodded, picked up a watery cherry, and couldn't help but feel a little hot on his cheeks because he noticed a certain line of sight looking at him.
Cherry this hurdle, she has been in this life...... I probably can't get by.
After most of the banquet, the inner eunuch claimed that there was an urgent report that His Majesty needed to see, so the emperor left the banquet first and told the prince to entertain everyone.
Hengyu saw it in his eyes and discerned in his heart.
The emergency report is false, and the body can't hold it is true. The envoys and princes are all there, and it is not appropriate to show the trend of illness and incurability.
Although the emperor left the banquet early, the prince was there, and the banquet ended successfully.
After the banquet dispersed, Jiang Guifei, who had been in charge of the phoenix seal since the queen died of illness a few years ago, invited the eldest princess of Yongyang and the crown princess to go to her bedroom to talk.
The county lord of Jiayi also went with him, and did not forget to leave a female envoy to follow Hengyu.
Mrs. Xiao came to Beijing and had not yet come out to walk around, because Xiao Mu had previously presented the "treasure map" and got rid of the rumors of the treasure map, many officials secretly changed the direction of the wind, and the wife of the family naturally treated Mrs. Xiao with more closeness and generously communicated with her.
Mrs. Xiao always remembered the purpose of entering Beijing this time, and she also patiently dealt with those ladies and ladies.
Ji Nanxian went elsewhere with the prince, Hengyu's eyes turned around, and he didn't see Xiao Mu, and it was not good to look for him without permission, so he said to the female envoy beside him: "It's not early, let's get out of the palace." β
The female envoy should go down and lead the way for Hengyu in front, the two of them just walked out of the main hall and stepped down the stone steps, only to hear an uncertain voice behind them-
"Dare to ask, is this a Ji lady?"
Hengyu stopped and looked back: "Exactly." β
The young woman in her twenties, dressed in the princess's court dress, walked over, accompanied by a female envoy.
Hengyu had already recognized the other party, and saluted: "I have seen the princess of Hedong." β
"Ji Niangzi doesn't have to be polite." Princess Hedong smiled kindly and said, "I heard that Mrs. Ji is now teaching for the lord of Jiayi County, and it just so happens that the eldest daughter of my house is also six years old this year, and she is a leather monkey who is not very easy to discipline, and she can't learn anything...... I just thought that if I had the opportunity to see Ji Niangzi, I would definitely ask one or two questions, but I don't know if Ji Niangzi can move at this time? β
"Nature." Hengyu looked at the corridor on the side: "Is it okay to talk under the corridor?" β
Princess Hedong obviously hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's cool at night, it's better to move to the side hall." β
Heng Yu looked at her: "Partial hall? β
Princess Hedong looked slightly sideways at the side hall not far away: "When I and the other princesses entered the palace today, they were there to rest for a while. There is a quiet room in it, just enough to sit down with Ji Niangzi to eat tea and talk slowly. β
Heng Yu blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "It's really late today, I'm afraid it's not time to talk slowly." And in the way of upbringing, Heng Yu actually doesn't have much experience, and the people who teach the lord of Jiayi on weekdays are mostly subsets of ordinary scriptures and histories, and they are just calligraphy and painting. If the princess is also interested in this, she can go to the East Palace at any time tomorrow to listen to it, so that she can personally judge whether the way taught by Hengyu is worth learning. β
Princess Hedong obviously didn't expect her to refuse, and her words were decent enough, so she couldn't help but conclude for a while: "This, Ji Niangzi ......"
While she was speaking, Heng Yu was already blessed: "I will wait for the princess at any time tomorrow, and I will leave today." β
The envoy beside her also saluted, and the two turned away.
"......" Princess Hedong looked at the back of the girl leaving, and her eyebrows showed uneasiness and anxiety, but there was nothing she could do.
She grabbed the brocade in her hand, and then hurriedly walked quickly in the direction of the side hall.
Heng Yu turned her head slightly, glanced at the direction she was leaving, and became more and more sure that most of them were strange.
The other party invited her to go to the side hall, how she looked at it and felt weird.
When encountering such a thing, she is not afraid to take risks, but the premise is that this matter is worth the meaning of risking, otherwise, knowing that there is something strange, but also to put herself in the unknown danger, isn't that a hole in the brain?
This kind of confusion that doesn't last more than three pages in a serious book can still be avoided.
Heng Yu thought that he had avoided a trouble, but this trouble did not end there-
