Chapter 56: The Knot
The emperors of the Zhu family have a hereditary advantage in their feelings, that is, dedication.
Taizu favors Queen Ma, Chengzu favors Empress Xu, Baozong favors Queen Qian, and Emperor Chenghua favors Concubine Wan......
At this moment, Zhu Youji, Taizu, Chengzu, Baozong, and Chenghua Emperor are possessed! He inherited the long history and tradition of the Zhu family for thousands of years!
Xiao Jing, the steward of the East Palace, saw Zhu Youzhu looking at Zhang Fengling stupidly, and knew that the prince had taken a fancy to her.
So Xiao Jing took out a festive silver coin and stretched out his hand to hand it to Zhang Fengling.
"Smack!" Zhu Youzhu actually stretched out his hand and knocked the silver coin in Xiao Jing's hand to the ground.
Subsequently, Zhu Youzhu took out the mandarin duck embroidered handkerchief given to him by the Empress Dowager Zhou from his sleeve and stuffed it directly into Zhang Fengling's hand.
When the Empress Dowager Zhou gave the handkerchief, Chang Feng was by Zhu Youji's side. He knew the weight of this mandarin duck pa.
Chang Feng was secretly shocked in his heart: The woman I helped change her name casually would be ....... The future crown princess of the Ming Dynasty?
The crown princess will be the queen in the future!
It's a blind weasel dragging a chicken to death - a coincidence.
Wonderful! It's wonderful! In the future, if this woman can be in charge of the six palaces, there will be a credit to my Changfeng.
At the end of the audition, a total of 32 women were shortlisted. Soon, they will become the prince's concubines, talents, servants, and ladies.
After four days, they will "choose three", that is, three people will be selected to participate in the final level of "King Recognition". The emperor himself personally selected the genuine daughter-in-law.
Liu Bingyi didn't dare to slack off. The rear yamen of the feudal division cleared all the unsuccessful women, and only let these thirty-two people live.
The female officer of the six bureaus and one division of the palace suddenly taught these thirty-two people the etiquette in the palace.
Let's say that Chang Feng has become a quasi-son-in-law admitted by Liu Bingyi.
In the evening of this day, he carried Liu Xiaoyan's favorite Daokou roast chicken when she was a child and came to the door of Liu's house.
This time, he could finally take a big stride into Liu's mansion without borrowing Liu Jin's face.
Steward Liu changed his attitude towards him two years ago and shouted at him: "Oops! The eldest aunt is here! Inside please! ”
This shout startled Chang Feng.
Chang Feng raised his head and stepped into the gate of Liu's mansion.
Chang Feng said: "I'll send a roast chicken to Xiaoyan, and I'll leave when I see her." ”
Steward Liu said, "Since you're here, why don't you have dinner with the eldest lady before leaving?" ”
Chang Feng deliberately took it to the hall: "It's not good." After all, it's not decided yet. Men and women do not kiss each other. ”
Steward Liu said, "Auntie, where are you talking about!" You and the eldest lady grew up together. ”
"When you were a kid, you two were so good that you changed your pants and wore them! You pee, and Miss takes it with her hand...... And mud! Why care about red tape? ”
Chang Feng met Liu Xiaoyan in the backyard.
As the sun set, Liu Xiaoyan was playing with a sword. The shadow of the sword flew in the air like a flowing cloud.
The gentle light of the setting sun sprinkled on Liu Xiaoyan's face. Chang Feng felt that he had seen the Heavenly Palace Fairy descend to earth.
Seeing that the person she liked was coming, Liu Xiaoyan pulled a sword flower and put the sword back into the scabbard.
Chang Feng praised: "Your good ability is no less than those martial artists in the Twelve Regiment Battalion." ”
Liu Xiaoyan said: "When I marry you, if you dare to have two hearts." I've definitely done it to you. ”
The sunset is picturesque. This couple, who have been guarding for several years, sat on a rockery in the backyard, watching Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, talking about love.
In the depths of love, Liu Xiaoyan took the initiative to lean her cheek on Chang Feng's shoulder.
Steward Liu was still standing in the distance.
This time, he didn't shout "men and women don't kiss" to come over and beat the mandarin ducks. Instead, he whispered to himself: "What a match!" ”
Snobbery is changing so fast.
At dusk, Steward Liu set up a table of wine in the dining room.
Chang Feng and Liu Xiaoyan took their seats.
Chang Feng opened the lotus leaf bun wrapped in the roast chicken at the entrance of the road.
Liu Xiaoyan didn't have the reserve of the eldest lady, so she directly tore off a chicken leg and chewed wildly.
The cultivation of everyone's beautiful temperament usually requires the accumulation of several generations of wealth.
Until Liu Xiaoyan was eleven years old, his father was an old man. At that time, Liu Xiaoyan's behavior had already become a habit and could not be changed.
Chang Feng watched the person he liked gnawing on the chicken legs, and suddenly sighed: "The way you eat chicken legs looks like sugar candy." ”
Liu Xiaoyan asked: "When will Tangtang return to Beijing?" ”
Chang Feng replied: "It's almost there." ”
At this moment, Steward Liu walked into the dining room, holding a box in his hand.
"Click", he opened the box, and inside were ten small silver ingots made of ten taels.
Steward Liu smiled: "The master has confessed." Now that the eldest aunt is by the prince's side, it is inevitable that she will have to socialize with her colleagues, and she can't be petty. ”
"You're just getting rich and you don't have much savings. You can take this one hundred taels of silver back with you, and it should be used for communication. ”
Liu Xiaoyan snorted coldly: "My father really praises when he sees high, and steps on it when he sees low." ”
Chang Feng said: "Xiaoyan, you can't say that your parents are not." ”
Old Taishan is gracious, don't be in vain. Chang Feng gladly accepted the one hundred taels of silver.
He casually asked Steward Liu: "By the way, won't Old Taishan go home for dinner tonight?" ”
Steward Liu replied: "Cough! The old man was busy with the affairs of Zhang Luo in the yamen, and he didn't come back for two nights. ”
"Half of the maids in our house have also been transferred to serve the thirty-two aunts and grandmothers in the back office of the feudal department."
Steward Liu's words reminded Chang Feng.
Chang Feng said: "Steward Liu, can you avoid it with the maids." I have a few words to say to Xiao Yan alone. ”
Steward Liu frowned: "This ...... Not so good. ”
Liu Xiaoyan said: "What are you afraid of? This is the dining room. Are you still afraid that he will not be able to use the dinner table as a wedding bed? ”
Steward Liu hurriedly said, "Miss, I didn't mean that. I'll just go. ”
The crowd exited the dining room.
Chang Feng said: "You also went to the back office of the Yamen of the Domain Division in the past two days to take care of a woman named Zhang Fengling in person." ”
"You have a hundred taels of silver. Go to the jewelry store to pick a few high-quality hairpins and earrings and give them to Zhang Fengling. ”
Chang Feng is a person with inside information. He knew that Zhang Fengling had a Mandarin Duck Pa and had a great chance to become the crown princess.
If you don't stutter at this time, when will you wait?
If you want to get ahead in officialdom, you have to learn to bet and stutter.
Officialdom is a dunghill. How many lotus flowers can there be that come out of the mud and are not stained?
Liu Xiaoyan was puzzled: "Why?" ”
Chang Feng said: "If you marry me after a while, you will be the Chang family." If we want to change from a humble door to a high door...... It is definitely beneficial to have a good relationship with Miss Zhang. ”
Liu Xiaoyan nodded slightly: "Cheng." I listen to you. Hengzhu stayed in the house and was also bored. ”
The two finished dinner and were about to break up.
Chang Feng stood up, and Liu Xiaoyan kissed Chang Feng with a lightning speed.
Although Liu Xiaoyan's red lips were stained with a lot of oil, Chang Feng didn't care at all, as if she was struck by lightning, and the pestle was straight in place.
Fortunately, it is a dining room, and there are housekeepers and maids outside the dining room.
Otherwise...... Chang Feng, who has been holding back for twenty-one years, is afraid that he will really not be able to control himself and push Liu Xiaoyan away.
