Chapter 179: Get What You Want
In the winter of the fourteenth year of Shengning, the first snow fell for more than ten days, because it was not too cold, and it was melting, so although it fell for a long time, it did not crush the house and other things, at most it had some impact on travel.
Perhaps because of this, Emperor Sheng Ning was able to stay in the Huangzhuang until the snow stopped, and on the first day after the snow stopped, the royal hunting team that crossed from autumn hunting to winter hunting returned to Ningdu City.
Geng Xingshuang and the others were also shouted by Zhu Yan to go to the street to see together, of course, Emperor Sheng Ning sat in the imperial car the whole time, and could only see the bright yellow curtains around the imperial car.
"That is the Great Prince Li Wang, and next to him is King Shen, King Ping, King Chun, and King Jin, you have seen it, right, but it was night, and you can't see it clearly now, do you still recognize it?"
Zhu Yan chartered a second-floor elegant room facing the street in the restaurant, and introduced them one by one to the princes and ministers who followed the royal car and slowly rode by.
Geng Xingshuang said: "I can recognize it."
Geng Xingchen mainly went to see King Ping, who was Geng Xingbing's husband after all.
In addition to the five princes who have been crowned kings, the rest of the little princes also have horseback riding, and then there are ministers and ministers, as long as they are riding horses, they can see people, passing by the restaurant directly below, Zhu Yan will introduce them to them.
"Nuo, that is Wu Qun, the Duke of Dingguo, followed by his eldest son Wu Yu, and Wu Yu's side is the eldest grandson of the Duke of Dingguo, and now he has been named the eldest son of Wu."
Zhu Yan looked at the three grandparents and grandchildren who were riding a tall horse from the front of the restaurant, and introduced them one by one.
Jiang Xuefu asked: "I seem to have heard the eldest brother say that Wu Guogong doesn't like Master Wu very much, so the Dingguo Mansion has never established a prince, has it been established now?" ”
Zhu Yan sneered: "The eldest prince of Wu is the grandson, his father is not the prince, the prince of Wu asked the saint for his will, after a hundred years, the eldest prince of Wu can bypass his father and several uncles, and directly inherit the title of the duke of Zhenguo." ”
Saying that, Zhu Yan lowered his voice again and said: "I heard that because of this incident, several uncles of the eldest prince of Wu, and even his father are dissatisfied with him, if it is not for the protection of the prince of Wu, and the relationship between the eldest prince of Wu and King Shen, the masters of the Wu family can only hold back, otherwise the life of the eldest prince of Wu will not be easy." ”
Geng Xingshuang watched the three of Wu Guogong's ancestors and grandsons ride past the front of the restaurant, and said, "Have you noticed that Wu Guogong and Wu Shisun's faces are not very good?" ”
Jiang Xuefu immediately said: "It's really a little bad, I just felt that they were a little embarrassed." ”
Geng Xingchen said: "I didn't look at them, but Master Wu seemed to be very happy." ”
"That's right, Master Wu is not happy because of the fact that Wu Guogong has Wu Dagongzi as his grandson, and he is happy about the things that can make Wu Guogong and Wu Dagongzi unhappy. That's not what I said, my mother said. ”
Zhu Yan said, she doesn't like the Dingguo Mansion, Concubine Gayin Shufei once mentioned to the emperor that she would marry her to Wu Qiyu, for this reason, she also wanted the emperor to make a holy decree, but fortunately the emperor did not agree directly, but asked her aunt first, and her aunt refused, and she escaped.
Zhu Yan only told Geng Xingshuang about this, Geng Xingshuang also asked her at the time, why did she not want to be the eldest son of Wu's character, knowledge, and family background, Zhu Yan didn't explain at the time, only said that Wu Qiyu was not pleasing to the eye, in fact, not only was she unwilling, but her grandfather, her father, and her mother were also unwilling.
After the Dingguo Mansion, there are the Zhenguo Mansion, Yongkang Houfu, Jian'an Bo Mansion, Cheng'en Mansion and other princes' foreign families and other hairpin families, and then there is a top frame, which should be for civil officials, and then behind are some middle-grade generals.
"Hey, why did Duke Chengen walk behind the Dingguo Mansion and the other princes' houses?"
Zhu Yan wondered.
Cheng'en Gong is the queen's father, is the maternal grandfather of the eldest prince Li Wang, in this case, the order of the team is arranged in advance, in addition to the emperor and the emperor's uncles and brothers, as well as the emperor's sons, that is, in addition to the royal family, the queen's maiden family, the eldest prince's foreign family Cheng'en Mansion should be ahead of other princes, even if the eldest prince has not yet been named the crown prince, but only in terms of preface teeth, concubines, the order should be like this.
"Is the one wearing a cloak embroidered with a pine crane longevity pattern wearing a cloak of silk color embroidered with a pattern of longevity of the crane being a young man?" Geng Xingshuang asked.
"It's him, Sister Shuang'er, have you seen him?" Zhu Yan asked.
Geng Xingshuang shook his head, "I've seen the person following him, the one wearing a vermilion embroidered unicorn beast pattern, and a string of red gold and ruby-inlaid emerald beads around his neck, is it Zhang Shiyu, the sixth prince of the Cheng'en Mansion?" ”
Even if Cheng Engong is a peer or junior riding a tall horse, the first thing people who see the excitement must be the sixth son of the chapter, in addition to his conspicuous dress, and he is holding his head from beginning to end, like a peacock with the screen open, plus he is white and tender, clear and delicate, it is difficult for people not to pay attention.
Zhu Yan sneered: "It's not him." Cheng Engong failed to walk in front, he should have done something to provoke the emperor's eyes, so the emperor made him faceless, Cheng Engong himself and the others in Cheng'en Mansion, although they did not have a straight face, but they seemed to be in a very general mood, only him, who was used to publicity, did not forget to walk sideways at any time. ”
Hearing the three words sideways, Jiang Xuefu sneered and laughed, "I heard my eldest brother say that the brother and sister of Zhang Liugongzi and Zhang Ba are called crab brothers and sisters. ”
"Do you know this person who is called the Cheng'en Mansion? Does Cheng Engong know about his old man? Geng Xingchen asked curiously.
Geng Xingshuang said: "The people of Cheng'en Mansion must know, but Cheng'en Gong really may not know, who dares to tell him." ”
On the second day, Geng Xingshuang went to Mingshang Pavilion, and Zhu Yan also went.
"I didn't think you were going to come in the next two days!" Geng Xingshuang was a little surprised, after all, except for the pregnant grandmother Yin and Zhu Yan, the rest of the masters of the Zhenguo Mansion followed Emperor Sheng Ning to Huangzhuang to hunt, and only came back yesterday, she thought that Zhu Yan would accompany her family at home.
Zhu Yan's expression was a little strange, and he first let out a long sigh, "I don't even know what to say." ”
"What's going on?" Geng Xingshuang was surprised.
"Why did you look bad when Duke Daoding Guogong and Wu Shisun came back from Huangzhuang yesterday?"
Geng Xingshuang shook his head, "How did I know that your appearance like this has something to do with your family?" ”
"Doesn't it have something to do with our family? Xiaofeng, pour two cups of tea, and serve two plates of dried fruits, I said slowly. ”
After Zhu Yan sat down, he beckoned Geng Xingshuang to sit down as well, and then instructed Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng was a little helpless, she didn't know whether her girl was sad or happy, but thinking of the attitude of the grandfather, the old lady, the prince, the county lord and the uncle towards this matter, she was worried about her girl.
After the tea and fruit plate was served, Zhu Yancai said: "Now I wish Ni what she wants and is satisfied!" ”
Geng Xingshuang's mind turned, thinking that Zhu Yan had just mentioned the Wu family in the Dingguo Mansion, and guessed: "Isn't it that the second girl Zhu is going to marry Wu Shisun?" (End of chapter)
